Carpet cleaning: The council voted to hire Brian Blair of Prestige Carpet Cleaning to clean carpets in the wellness center and city offices. Staff presented estimates the vendor provided: roughly $190 to clean the wellness-center carpets and $2,220 to clean the offices and main room (figures presented as vendor estimates). Councilmember Mike moved to approve hiring the vendor; Councilmember Jerry seconded the motion and the voice vote was recorded as \"all in favor.\" Staff said the vendor will not charge a trip fee.

Gym-floor scrubber: The council approved the purchase of a motorized gym floor scrubber (described in the meeting as a ride-on floor scrubber) with a purchase price cited as $3,256. Councilmember Gary moved and Councilmember Mike seconded the motion; the motion passed on a voice vote.

Weight-room maintenance: Staff recommended increasing professional maintenance visits to the weight room to twice per year. Staff said the contractor’s quote to inspect and lube equipment was $4.25 (the transcript did not specify the unit of measure for that price). Council approved the change to semiannual maintenance; motion recorded as moved by Councilmember Mike and seconded by Councilmember Bryce with approval by voice vote.

Gym floor resurfacing: Staff reminded the council the gym floor reseal (resurface) is scheduled for June 5–8 and that the gym will be closed for that period to allow curing.

Council did not attach additional funding sources in the meeting record; staff indicated they will confirm payment method and procurement card limits offline.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","Town Council Meetingnci - Town Council Meeting 3 6 25","oneSentenceSummary","Council approved hiring Prestige Carpet Cleaning to clean city carpets, authorized purchase of a gym-floor scrubber for about $3,256, and voted to increase weight-room maintenance to twice a year; council also noted gym floor resurfacing scheduled for June 5–8.","taxTitle","Bryce Canyon City, Garfield County, Utah","taxId",79937,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":50,"_51":81,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":82,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":83,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6614816,"Contractor outlines downtown holiday-lighting plan and permanent lighting options",1077,877000,1954000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3379345-b1d824f43f1bbe689af3d4b9e34e14f3&start=877&end=1954","/articles/6614816/Bryce-Canyon-City/Garfield-County/Utah/Contractor-outlines-downtown-holiday-lighting-plan-and-permanent-lighting-options","The council heard a presentation from Rayborn Devel, owner and operator of Lifetime Decor (a local franchisee of Christmas Decor), who proposed a downtown holiday lighting and permanent architectural lighting program for Bryce Canyon’s Main Street and several city buildings.

Devel described a plan of pole-mounted LED snowflake displays, premium LED garland on lamp posts, wrapped trees near the roadway, and accent lighting at a community ice rink. He said his franchise has done municipal work for Cedar City and Washington City, and that the company would manage design, installation and maintenance.

On technical and warranty details, Devel said the LED product is rated for about 50,000 hours of runtime (which he estimated is approximately five years at about four hours of nightly operation). He described a manufacturer-backed warranty of five years on the product and one year on labor from installation, and said the company offers an annual maintenance program that extends labor and product coverage to 10 years while covering repairs and software updates.

Devel said the company generally owns and stores the lighting equipment under its standard service model, provides installation and scheduled maintenance, and usually amortizes higher-ticket projects over a three-year service agreement so annual costs decline after year one and year two. He said permanent lighting can be used year-round for accents and holidays and that a phone app allows scheduling, color customization and pattern control.

Councilmembers asked about prior municipal work, ownership of decorations and pricing. Devel said his franchise had worked for Cedar City and Washington City; he said some municipalities keep a few components in-house while contracting technical work out. He offered to provide specific pricing for permanent lighting on three city buildings; councilmembers asked staff to get cost proposals and measurements for the facilities.

No contract was approved at the meeting. Council discussion noted that permanent lighting can draw visitors and may be incorporated into other downtown improvement projects; staff and the presenter agreed to return with pricing and measurements.","A representative from Lifetime Decor (a Christmas Decor franchisee) presented a plan for lamp-post snowflakes, tree wrapping and permanent architectural lighting for downtown Bryce Canyon; the company described product life, warranty, service program and a three-year amortized pricing model and offered to provide pricing for three city buildings.",{"_33":85,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":86,"_41":87,"_43":88,"_45":89,"_47":90,"_49":50,"_51":91,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":92,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":93,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6614821,"City reviews relinquishment of ticket-booth property to Ruby's; council to retain city-owned cameras",88,436000,524000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3379345-b1d824f43f1bbe689af3d4b9e34e14f3&start=436&end=524","/articles/6614821/Bryce-Canyon-City/Garfield-County/Utah/City-reviews-relinquishment-of-ticket-booth-property-to-Rubys-council-to-retain-city-owned-cameras","Bryce Canyon City staff presented an agreement titled a \"relinquishment of the premises\" conveying title and possession of the ticket booth structure and property to Ruby’s (the private property owner at the site). The document states the city and a local association previously contributed funds for the structure and that, as of the effective date once signed, the owner would receive title, use and interest in the building and property.

Staff told the council the agreement includes a clause deeming any personal property remaining in or on the premises as abandoned upon the effective date and allowing the owner to dispose of it. Council members clarified that the only city-owned personal property on site is the camera system, which staff said the city would retain.

The council discussed that the camera system is tied to an Internet bridge installed by a private contractor (identified in the meeting as Brian). Staff said the cameras were purchased by the city and will remain city property, while the Internet bridge hardware belongs to the contractor who installed it.

Staff said they will coordinate with the contractor (Brian) and vendor (Shane) to determine which pieces of equipment should remain and to document those decisions before executing the relinquishment. No formal vote to execute the relinquishment was recorded in the meeting; staff said they will clarify details with the contractor and return with any recommended edits.","Council members reviewed a written agreement conveying title and possession of the ticket booth property at the campground to the private owner Ruby's and clarified ownership of on-site cameras and internet equipment.",{"_33":95,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":96,"_41":97,"_43":98,"_45":99,"_47":100,"_49":50,"_51":101,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":102,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":103,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6614826,"Bryce Canyon City to award public safety building contract to Robertson Welding and Construction",139,137000,276000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3379345-b1d824f43f1bbe689af3d4b9e34e14f3&start=137&end=276","/articles/6614826/Bryce-Canyon-City/Garfield-County/Utah/Bryce-Canyon-City-to-award-public-safety-building-contract-to-Robertson-Welding-and-Construction","Bryce Canyon City officials reviewed three bids for a public safety building and moved to award the project to Robertson Welding and Construction after a consultant recommended that firm.

City staff told the council that Robertson submitted a low bid of $163,250. Two other bids were opened in public: Wasatch West Contracting at $260,004.84 and Eco Premier Builders Inc. at $234,274. Jones Mills (project reviewer/consultant) examined the bids and references and recommended Robertson Welding and Construction as the preferred contractor.

The council heard that the consultant checked references and that a contact at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Trent Duncan, provided follow-up about subcontractor work associated with the recommended bidder. Staff summarized Duncan’s input that the subcontracted work was timely, met safety requirements and produced practical solutions for site issues.

Staff also told the council the Robertson bid included a bond amount of about $5,000; the city may decide whether to require a separate contractor bond or rely on standard contractor documents. Staff advised council to consult the city attorney on contract language before final execution.

Councilmember Mike moved to accept the Robertson Welding and Construction bid and the motion carried on a voice vote recorded as \"all in favor.\" A roll-call tally was not provided in the transcript.

The council did not approve a final signed contract in the meeting; staff said the next steps include attorney review and final contract forms to execute the award.

Notes and clarifications from the discussion: the consultant confirmed each bidder had been provided the same plan set and that Jones Mills reviewed the plans for specification compliance. The city staff noted they reviewed vendor references and that some prior construction work involved coordination between general contractor and subcontractors, which influences scheduling and oversight needs.

Council members requested staff follow up on contract templates and clarify the bond requirement before returning a final contract for signature.","The council reviewed three bids for a public safety building and followed consultant recommendations to award the project to Robertson Welding and Construction; staff noted a $5,000 bond line item in the winning bid and advised city attorney review of contract language.","actionData","errors"]
