Council hears city-manager updates and an extensive legislative and service-area briefing
Summary
Council received city manager updates about streetlight shields, wrap funding, and new trash cans; members reported on boards and legislative developments including potential water-fee changes tied to state funding (HB501) and other bills affecting municipal operations.
The meeting concluded with city manager updates and councilmember reports on boards, regional projects, and the state legislative session.
The city manager noted residents who want shields on new Rocky Mountain streetlights need to submit forms on the city website by early March. Staff also announced new public garbage cans and that wrap funding applications are due by the 27th. Councilmembers then delivered reports:
- Tawny reported on Canyonlands Healthcare Special Service District meetings and the Moab Museum gala scheduled for March 27. - Caitlin summarized recent League of Cities and Towns lobbying and a Grand County point-in-time (PIT) homelessness count that recorded 25 individuals; she noted shifting policy conversations at state level about supportive housing funding. - Miles reported on planning and sewer projects, Tends Lake storage (about 871 acre-feet), and a letter of support for the city’s water-tower project, which the city will pursue with the CIB. - Council and City Attorney Nathan discussed several state bills the city is tracking, including HB501 (possible fee structure tied to state funding eligibility) and other procurement and land-use measures; Nathan said some bills may be amended or move to interim review.
Councilmembers asked staff to continue monitoring legislative activity and to provide bill lists when the chair and staff are away so the council can respond quickly if needed.
