Levan council hears parks, youth-council and speeding concerns; parks work to proceed to bid
Summary
Council heard updates on youth-council activity, discussed fish-release logistics for a community event, reviewed plans for a baseball field and pickleball court, and agreed to press law-enforcement for speed reminders and portable signage.
Levan's council on June 12 received community and staff updates on parks projects, youth-council activities and traffic enforcement concerns.
Unidentified Speaker 6 reported the youth council's Memorial Day work and swearing-in and said youth assignments are on track. Council members discussed plans for a community fish-release event at the town pond; staff noted they cannot find prior invoices from 2018 and will follow up to confirm the number and sizes of fish to order.
On parks capital work, Unidentified Speaker 1 said Tyson (project lead) is organizing site work and expected to start digging for a baseball field foundation and a pickleball court; the council discussed including bench pads near the splash pad and suggested a single continuous concrete pour to ease maintenance and mowing access. "I'd like to hurry, get that out to bid, and just turn that over to a contractor who can build it as quickly as he can get it done," Unidentified Speaker 1 said.
Residents' safety concerns also came up. Several council members reported repeated resident complaints about speeding on specific streets; the group discussed asking the sheriff's office for increased enforcement, rotating a portable radar speed display and a campaign reminding children to wear helmets. Unidentified Speaker 1 said staff will check the availability of a borrowable speed-monitoring device and asked staff to post reminders on the town website.
Other community items: the Daughters of the Pioneers' log restoration was praised and a potential concrete donation to surround a memorial display was mentioned; the council also discussed newsletter items celebrating a local award recipient.
Next steps include finalizing bid documents for park construction after funding or go-ahead expected around July 1, confirming logistics and vendor records for the fish-release event, and coordinating with law enforcement on short-term speed reminders.
