The vote came after a public hearing during the Sept. 24 meeting in which the city’s bond counsel described a state funding package totaling $15,197,000 that combines loan forgiveness and a reduced-rate loan to cover most of the project cost.

Attorney Eric (attorney for Scribe City) told the council the transmission main from Soldier Summit dates to the 1930s and is “coming up on 90” years of service. He said the city has a funding commitment of $15,197,000, of which $4,559,000 is grant or loan forgiveness and the remainder is an expected loan of $10,638,000 that carries a hardship-style 2% rate. Eric said the city’s repayment on that loan would total $14,462,660 over 30 years under the terms discussed.

The funding package reduces the city’s borrowing cost substantially compared with a market-rate bond sale, Eric said, calling the state subsidy “just a smidgen over 50%.” The public hearing covered a maximum bond amount of $14,000,000 to provide a cushion above the anticipated loan amount; the attorney said the larger public-hearing amount is a common lender request.

During public comment, Diana Wood, a resident who said she lives at 748 North 100 East, described recurring basement flooding during heavy rain and questioned whether city work orders and drainage fixes would be scheduled as part of the project. Council and staff responded that staff would follow up after the meeting; Miles (staff member) and Eric answered technical and financing questions during the hearing.

Members of the public also asked where repayment would come from and whether water rates would rise further after recent increases. Council members and staff said the city previously raised water rates in anticipation of a project of this scale and that the rate adjustments enacted in the spring were intended to cover the expected debt service for a $15 million project. Eric and staff said the loan-and-grant mix reduces the city’s borrowing burden and that contingency planning and engineering work were completed to limit the risk of large overruns.

Council member Chrisman moved to authorize the maximum repayable amount and Council member Richardson seconded. The council approved Resolution No. 2025-21 by voice and roll-call vote.

With the resolution passed, staff will move to finalize financing terms and pricing with the mayor and finance director acting as the pricing committee, as described in the approved motion. Additional work — including the transmission main replacement and subsequent treatment-plant work mentioned during the hearing — will proceed under separate procurement and project-management steps.

The council closed the public hearing and completed the bond authorization at the Sept. 24 meeting; staff said they will be available to answer follow-up questions and that further public notices would be provided as financing and construction schedules are finalized.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","09-24-2025 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA - CC 09242025","oneSentenceSummary","Price City Council approved a resolution setting a $14 million maximum for taxable water and sewer revenue bonds to finance replacement of an aging transmission line from Soldier Summit, after a public hearing that reviewed a state funding package that covers roughly half the project cost.","taxTitle","Price, Carbon County, Utah","taxId",68866,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":50,"_51":81,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":82,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":83,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6460848,"Price City approves MaintainX work-order software subscription for first-year cost of $7,880",138,1303000,1441000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5826972-795a0f3596501b26b71734209de246df&start=1303&end=1441","/articles/6460848/Price/Carbon-County/Utah/Price-City-approves-MaintainX-work-order-software-subscription-for-first-year-cost-of-7880","Price City Council approved a subscription purchase for MaintainX, a work-order and asset-management software, at a total first-year cost of $7,880, including setup, during the Sept. 24 meeting.

Miles (staff member) explained the city's current software is reaching end-of-life and will no longer be supported by Microsoft, requiring a transition to a new system. Council members said the platform will enable the city to track work orders, parts, and costs from request to completion, improving efficiency and documentation for internal and public requests.

Council member Miller moved to approve the MaintainX subscription and Council member Richardson seconded. The motion carried by voice vote.

Council members said the new system should help schedule work, provide transparency to residents who call with service concerns, and improve tracking of labor and parts for fleet and public-works projects. Staff will implement the subscription and return to council with status updates as the system is deployed across departments.","Council approved purchase of a MaintainX subscription and setup to replace an unsupported internal software system; staff said the tool will expand fleet and work-order management across departments.",{"_33":85,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":86,"_41":87,"_43":88,"_45":89,"_47":90,"_49":50,"_51":91,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":92,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":93,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6460853,"Price City accepts donation of undeveloped parcel from North Park Estates",269,1041000,1310000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5826972-795a0f3596501b26b71734209de246df&start=1041&end=1310","/articles/6460853/Price/Carbon-County/Utah/Price-City-accepts-donation-of-undeveloped-parcel-from-North-Park-Estates","The Price City Council voted to accept a donation of real property from North Park Estates during its Sept. 24 meeting, and authorized staff to pay transitional title and closing costs estimated at $500 or less.

Nick (staff member) introduced the item and said the parcel's general address is near 50 East, 650 North and that the property has been in the owners' hands for many years with no development planned. The parcel was reviewed by the city's Real Property Committee, which recommended acceptance of the donation.

Owners who were in attendance told the council the land is not buildable for residential use and sits just west of the site of an old reservoir; they said transferring the parcel to city ownership would be appropriate and could be useful for flood mitigation and drainage work that the city is planning for Wood Hill and adjacent areas.

Council member Jesperson moved to accept the donation and Council member Miller seconded. The council voted to accept the parcel and authorized staff to complete title work and closing; the motion passed by voice vote.

Staff will proceed with the transaction under the terms discussed and will return to the council if additional actions or budget authority are needed.","The council approved accepting a donated parcel (ID 01-1791-0000) from North Park Estates and authorized payment of closing-related transitional costs estimated at $500 or less; staff said the parcel may aid local flood mitigation planning.",{"_33":95,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":96,"_41":97,"_43":98,"_45":99,"_47":100,"_49":50,"_51":101,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":102,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":103,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6460858,"Emery Telecom donates to Price City pickleball courts; council accepts donation",224,162000,386000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5826972-795a0f3596501b26b71734209de246df&start=162&end=386","/articles/6460858/Price/Carbon-County/Utah/Emery-Telecom-donates-to-Price-City-pickleball-courts-council-accepts-donation","The Price City Council accepted a donation from Emery Telecom to support new pickleball courts after the company's representative presented the contribution during the Sept. 24 council meeting.

Terrence Powell, who identified himself as representing Emery Telecom, told the council the company intended to donate $1,010,000 for the city's courts. Powell said the sport's local popularity is growing and he presented the check during the meeting.

Council members and staff discussed the project schedule and said recent flooding had delayed city crews and forced the demolition timeline to slip. The council identified an RFP process under development and said John Boyd is preparing the request for proposals; staff noted demolition and other early work were delayed while crews responded to flood cleanup.

Council member Miller moved to accept the donation and Council member Jesperson seconded. The council voted unanimously to accept the donation.

Council members also said showing visible demolition or initial work on the site could reduce community concern while the RFP and contracting work continue. Staff and council did not provide a final construction start date; Miles (staff member) estimated the courts could be open by spring of the following year if demolition and contracting proceed on an updated schedule.

The council noted ongoing private donations to the courts project and said the Emery Telecom gift increases community support for the effort.","Emery Telecom offered a donation to support new courts; the Price City Council accepted the contribution and discussed project timeline setbacks caused by recent flooding.",{"_33":105,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":106,"_41":107,"_43":108,"_45":109,"_47":110,"_49":50,"_51":111,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":112,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":113,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6460845,"Price City recognizes neighborhood improvements; residents press council on road, drainage upkeep",2559,350000,2909000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5826972-795a0f3596501b26b71734209de246df&start=350&end=2909","/articles/6460845/Price/Carbon-County/Utah/Price-City-recognizes-neighborhood-improvements-residents-press-council-on-road-drainage-upkeep","Price City honored residents and neighborhood volunteers at its Sept. 24 meeting through the city's Take Pride in Price recognition program, and several residents used the public-comment period to press the council for action on local maintenance issues.

Council members presented certificates and small gift cards to multiple winners, including Jen O'Shaughnessy (second-place winner), Carrie Lund and Robin Lund (first-place winner), Barbie Heck, Gary Blake and neighbors from Crestview Drive, and several others who were recognized for yard and neighborhood improvements. Recipients described individual projects and said they hoped their work would inspire neighbors to make similar improvements.

During the public-comment period, Wayne Jackson, who identified himself as a resident of 520 Rose Avenue, said he has requested weed spraying and ditch maintenance on streets around 500 South for more than two years, citing mosquito concerns and poor road conditions. Mr. Jackson said he had received limited responses from council members and asked for action.

Council members and staff responded to public comments by explaining which ditches and gutters are private vs. public responsibility and by saying the city will forward some complaints to code enforcement and coordinate with affected departments. Staff asked residents to provide post numbers and specific locations so crews can follow up; the council noted that some light poles are under UDOT jurisdiction and require separate coordination.

Council members also used the unfinished-business portion of the meeting to acknowledge recent wildfire and emergency responses, praising first responders for work on a recent incident and noting growing highway and truck-traffic safety concerns tied to local industrial activity.","Council presented 'Take Pride in Price' awards to multiple residents and neighborhood volunteers; during public comment, residents urged the city to address weeds, drainage, and road maintenance in specific neighborhoods.","actionData","errors"]
