Summary
Town staff reported that new employee Matt Roundy reduced open leak reports and completed a passing water sample; the board discussed ditch cleaning, potential curb or stem wall to prevent office flooding, UDOT coordination for sidewalk work, an Easter egg hunt, and spring clean-up logistics.
Town staff reported operational progress in water services and raised road and parks issues at the March 19 Glendale Town Board meeting.
Mayor Chamberlain welcomed new employee Matt Roundy, who the clerk said is in his first meeting. Clerk Lori Jensen and staff praised Roundy’s early work: Roundy reduced the town’s open leak reports from 7–10 to 3 and is working with residents to repair leaks. Jessie Miller from Jones and DeMille conducted water training for staff and noted local use of ArcGIS and Geode apps; Roundy completed his first water sample test and it passed. A system-wide water flush was scheduled for the week after the samples.
Roads discussion focused on preventing mud from flooding the city office during high water events; Roundy proposed a water stop or stem wall/tall curb at the office. The board discussed cleaning a ditch along the highway and obtaining contractor quotes for new sidewalk where the existing walk is failing, while noting the need to coordinate with UDOT and that some grants require a city engineer to provide cost estimates.
Parks & Recreation announced an Easter egg hunt on April 4 at 9:00 a.m., with supplies procured and volunteers assisting; outreach will include Text My Gov messages and flyers at the post office. The board also discussed ordering dumpsters for an April spring clean-up (one for metal and one for garbage) and possible community-provided dinner plans; logistics and dates remain to be finalized.
No formal votes were taken specifically on road repairs, sidewalk quotes, or event logistics at the meeting; the board asked staff to obtain quotes and follow up with UDOT or grant contacts as needed.
