Castle Dale council: rodeo fee waiver, holiday and meeting schedules, utility fee changes approved; door‑to‑door ordinance tabled
Summary
Council voted to waive arena fees for high‑school rodeo practices, approved the holiday and 2025 meeting schedules, adopted resolution changes to water connection and delinquency rules, approved regular bills, and tabled a door‑to‑door sales ordinance for further committee review.
Castle Dale City Council handled a set of routine and policy votes at its Dec. 12 meeting, approving a package of scheduling and utility rule changes, waiving arena fees for local rodeo practices, and tabling a draft door‑to‑door sales ordinance for further review.
Waiver for rodeo practices: Rodeo representatives requested reserve use of the indoor arena for grading and practice ahead of their event. The council moved to waive arena fees for spring and fall practices and for the week of the high‑school rodeo; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. Rodeo speakers noted the event supports youth competitors and a special‑needs rodeo.
Schedules approved: The council approved the 2024 holiday schedule and adopted its 2025 meeting calendar as published after confirming a potential April date conflict would be manageable.
Utility fees and delinquency rules (Resolution 1‑11‑24B): Staff explained changes to secondary water connection standards and delinquency timelines. Under the adopted resolution the standard 1‑inch secondary water connection inside city limits will be charged $2,500 plus one share of Cottonwood Creek Consolidated Irrigation Company stock; a 1.5‑inch connection was set at $3,000 plus one share. Delinquency language was revised so that an account is considered delinquent after one billing cycle, 8 weeks of nonpayment may lead to shutoff, and 12 months of nonpayment may lead to removal of the connection; a $50 reconnection fee and $50 insufficient funds fee were added. Council adopted the changes.
Door‑to‑door sales ordinance: Staff reported collecting model ordinances from other cities and will bring a draft to the Land Use Committee; the council voted to table the item until February.
Other routine business: The auditor presented the annual audit but the council did not approve it at this meeting (auditor asked council to approve, council said the audit is not on tonight's agenda and will be acted on next month). The council moved to pay the city’s bills and adjourned.
The council discussed potential grant opportunities for sewer and water line work and encouraged staff to pursue funding for future infrastructure projects.
