Budget and check register: A council member moved to approve the December budget and check register; Terry Issel and Mary Picitelli were recorded as the first and second, and the council voted \"aye\" unanimously. During discussion staff noted a separation of Rocky Mountain Power charges to allocate water‑pump and other charges to the correct fiscal lines and flagged that legal/attorney fees may require an end‑of‑year amendment.

Subdivision code amendments: The council received the planning commission's recommendation to adopt subdivision code updates following the commission's public hearing. A motion to accept the planning commission's recommendation was moved and seconded; the vote was unanimous and the amendments will be posted on the town website.

Ending: Councilmembers asked that the newly adopted subdivision code be updated on the town website and thanked the planning commission and MAG representative Spencer Foster for their work.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","Wallsburg Town Council Monthly Meeting - 2025.01.02 Town Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At its Jan. 2 meeting the Wallsburg Town Council approved the December budget and check register and accepted the planning commission's recommendation to adopt subdivision code amendments.

Alicia Driscoll said the deadline for proposals is 5 p.m. the day after the meeting and asked the council to set a public bid‑opening to review responses. Council members agreed to hold the publicly noticed bid opening on Monday, Jan. 6, at 4:30 p.m. Driscoll said the meeting will be open to the public; it is a 24‑hour noticed meeting rather than a public hearing.

Driscoll explained the grant program requires the town to procure engineering services before specifying a project in the application. The town's capital improvements list (stormwater drainage master plan, park restrooms, the town's road priorities) will be used to help firms describe their qualifications. Driscoll said once a firm is selected after the opening, that firm would have roughly 10 days to assemble the grant application materials.

Ending: Driscoll asked who would attend the Monday opening and said she would conduct the bid opening during office hours if councilmembers could not attend in person; councilmembers said they would attend if possible.","Council staff set a public bid-opening meeting for engineering proposals related to planned CDBG applications; proposals were due at 5 p.m. the day after the Jan. 2 council meeting.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":50,"_51":92,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":93,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":94,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6662656,"Wallsburg hears update on Main Canyon Road project; staff says additional funding likely",157,710000,867000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2393515-086db023b32e8fb5c12a729b3439b639&start=710&end=867","/articles/6662656/Utah/Wallsburg-hears-update-on-Main-Canyon-Road-project-staff-says-additional-funding-likely","Wallsburg Town Council received a detailed update Jan. 2 on the Main Canyon Road project and the timeline for advertising and construction.

Troy Ossemer, speaking to the council, said the project is through most design reviews and \"ready to advertise,\" but a funding gap of $474,000 remains. He said about 93% of that additional amount—$441,910—would be federal funding if approved, leaving a $32,090 local match specifically tied to the extra request. Ossemer said Chris Potter, the project engineer, indicated the additional funding is \"a done deal\" in his view and called the probability of approval \"99%.\"

Ossemer also presented a separate overall local-match estimate for the full project: $115,767. Of that total, he said approximately $80,000 would come from the town and roughly $35,000 from Wasatch County, though he cautioned the town's final share may be closer to $65,000 once final accounting is complete.

Why this matters: the scope includes road widening from the church to the previously completed section, repairs to fractured pavement, upgraded traffic signing (curve signs, speed limits, new stop signs), catch basins to address flooding at two known trouble spots, cement‑treated pulverized pavement overlays and a chip seal and restriping of the full project extent. Ossemer said the town received an initial grant of $1,236,000 but construction costs have risen by about 33% since that award.

Ossemer outlined a schedule contingent on additional funding: the application will be submitted the week after the Jan. 2 meeting; the Joint Highway Committee technical subcommittee will review the package in February; the Joint Highway Committee is set to make funding recommendations at its April 1 meeting; the town would advertise the project in May, select a contractor in June and expect construction July through September.

Council members asked whether work could begin before the money is approved. Ossemer said construction cannot start until funds are in place unless the town itself provided the full shortfall. He said the town has completed reviews and right‑of‑way/utility clearances and will keep the project ready to advertise so it can proceed immediately once funding is finalized.

Ossemer said he has been coordinating with Wasatch County staff, including Terry Eckert, and with local project engineer Chris Potter on final cost breakdowns. The county has budgeted a portion of the match for the segment of the road that lies in Wasatch County; Ossemer said the county's share of the town's estimated match is expected to be in the $40,000 to $60,000 range of the overall local match estimate.

Ending: Councilmembers thanked staff for the update and asked for final cost breakout when it is available; Ossemer said he would provide final numbers when the county and project engineer complete their allocations.","Town staff said the Main Canyon Road widening and drainage project is ready to advertise but faces a $474,000 shortfall; engineers and county partners are pursuing additional federal funding and the town's local match is estimated at tens of thousands of dollars.","actionData","errors"]
