TORREY - An inspira tion for artists, musicians, po ets, and lovers, the full moon enchants us like almost noth ing else. Every month, we witness the moon’s transfor mation from new to full and back again. Every 29.5 days, the moon’s orbit takes it to the side of Earth directly opposite the sun, where it reflects the sun's rays from its full face and appears as an opalescent, perfectly round disk. Across the ages, human beings watched the night sky in order to determine when to hunt, plant, and harvest. And, all over the world, cul tures have given full moons names based on the behavior Depending on the time of year, the full moon can go by many names.

BoulderCouncilTown by Tessa BOULDERBarkan-The Sep tember Boulder Town Coun cil (TC) meeting began with a discussion on prayer. It is legal to have prayer at public meetings in the state of Utah. It was discussed whether it could be called reverence instead of prayer to be more inclusive, and it was stated that some have said that it’s an unnecessary conflict to in clude it in the meeting. They decided that TC members and members of the public who want to join may have a prayer before the meeting starts in the hallway, with the door Aopen.public hearing was held on Ordinance 2022-3, Allowing Electronic Meet ings.

GARFIELD COUNTYPrior to the era in which fisheries managers adopted the practice of introducing non-native species for sport fishing, Boulder Mountain’s higher elevation streams and lakes were dominated by a na tive fish species, the Colorado River cutthroat trout (CRCT). Introduction of brook and rainbow trout species has led to the decline of the Colorado River cutthroat. Brook trout tend to outcompete cutthroats, while rainbows hybridize with the species. Both competition and hybridization have led to waning populations of the na tive fish over time. Utah’s Division of Wild North Creek Cont'd on page 3

SALT LAKE CITY - Each year, the Utah Division of Arts and Museums holds a juried competition, DesignArts Utah, for the best design work from artists throughout the state, making awards to finalists in many different categories. For the third year, David Delthony’s Sculpted Furniture, has been selected not only as a finalist, but this year was awarded the Juror’s “Best in Show” prize. Delthony’s studio is located in Escalante, Utah. Each year a different juror is selected to judge the works. This year’s juror is Benjamin Prosky, Executive Director at the American Institute of Architects. Prosky’s notes in the Design Arts Utah 2022 program state that, “David Delthony’s Sculpted Furniture demonstrates an exceptional marriage of design, or ganic form, purposeful functionality and tremendous technique. These unusual pieces seem to draw their inspiration from Utah’s rugged landscape, which itself was sculpted by nature’s ele ments…the furniture has a refined, modernistic sensibility.” Whereas the previous two DesignArts Utah events were held virtually due to the pandemic, this year’s exhibition is be ing held at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA), running until Sept. 24, 2022. It is also online at artsandmuseums. utah.gov/design-arts-2/.

Until recently, our advertisers alone have shouldered that bur den. Now, we’re asking you to take a small share of the load. Help us make September a great month for new subscrib ers! Thank you! In my “google alerts” email folder, which gathers sto ries about our region, an item I found this morning were the results of a recent study, com piled by Stacker and reported by KPVI, about which coun ties in Utah have the most “se niors,” based on data from the most recent U.S. Census. Out of Utah’s 29 counties, Garfield County was ranked #3, and Wayne County was ranked #4, for oldest populations. The top two Utah coun ties with populations aged 65 or older are: #1 Piute (32%); #2 KaneStats(22.9%).forGarfield: Popula tion aged 65 or older: 22.5%; Population aged 18 and young er: 23.6%; Median age: 42 years old. Total population: 5,000 people. Stats for Wayne: Popula tion aged 65 or older: 21.8%; Population aged 18 and young er: 26.1%; Median age: 42 years old. Total population: 2,698 people. At the other end of the spectrum, to show you how dif ferent it can be, is Utah county, ranked #29: Population aged 65 or older: 7.7%; Population aged 18 and younger: 33.3%; Median age: 25 years old. What I’m curious about— which was not available in this one slice of reporting—is which direction our counties are trending. In addition to re tirees, younger people are also moving here. It’ll be interesting to see how our demographics shift in the next decade or so. —Insider Manager for the UDWR’s Southern Regional Office. “The current spillway is undersized and too high in elevation to prevent water from draining out over the top of the dike during high spring runoff. That overtop ping is what has caused the dike failures over the past two decades,” Hepworth said. Maintaining the recreational fishery at Navajo Lake has been a priority for UDWR and the Dixie National Forest over the past few years, with the completion of a 2021 ro tenone treatment to reduce the density of Utah chub and the development of a new Sport fish Management Plan for the lake in Navajo2022.

Lake, and the surrounding area, draws peo ple from both the local com munity—as well as from out of state—for fishing, boating, camping, hiking, and biking. Over the course of its life time, the dike has been im proved and repaired multiple times, most recently in 2010 and 2011 when breaches were caused by water running over the top of the spillway. With out the repairs that will be completed in the current proj ect, the dike will continue to deteriorate, causing a loss of revenue to concessionaires on the lake and other local busi ness in Iron and Kane County who provide services to Na vajo Lake area users. “Navajo Lake is one of the most im portant recreation areas on the District,” confirmed Veronica Magnuson, the District Rang er for the Cedar City Ranger District. “This project is a critically important and long overdue,” she Constructionsaid. began on September 6, 2022, and is expected to last through midNovember 2022.

It’s also called "Bud ding Moon," "Hare Moon," and "Milk RipeningMoon."berries in June are the basis for the "Straw berry Moon." "Birth Moon," "Hot Moon," and "Rose Moon" are other names. Male deer shed their antlers and begin to regrow them in July, hence the name "Buck Moon." It’s also called "Thunder Moon" (for summer storms) and "Salmon Moon." Native North Ameri can fishing cultures named August’s "Sturgeon Moon," as this is the month when the fish are abundant. "Lynx Moon" and "Grain Moon" are other names. In September, we see the "Harvest Moon." It is the full moon nearest the autumn equinox when crops are har vested. It is believed the moon is particularly bright and rises early at this time of year and lets farmers continue harvest ing late into the night. It’s also called the "Corn Moon" and the "Song Moon." October brings us the "Hunter Moon." This is the month to hunt summer-fat tened game and the time to store provisions for the winter ahead. Some cultures call this moon the "Travel" or "Falling LeavesThereMoon."are two thoughts about November’s "Beaver Moon." Some say the name comes from native peoples setting beaver traps at this time of year. Others say the name comes from the increased ac tivity of beavers in November.

Potassium permanganate treatment of North Creek be low North Creek Dam, applied to deactivate rotenone treatment upstream. Although liquid rotenone is relatively benign to humans, fish treated with the chemical have not been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration for human consumption, and fish that die during a rotenone treatment project cannot be salvaged.During a rotenone treat ment, most rotenone drips run for three to eight hours, depending on the location. Charges for drip stations are calculated to apply the five percent active ingredient at a concentration of 1.5 parts per million in the target area. “We treat it at the lowest concentration possible. We’re able to be very efficient with it which cuts down on the cost,” said Hadley.Toprotect downstream re gions from the rotenone treat ment, fisheries managers ap ply potassium permanganate, which turns the water bright purple, immediately below the treatment area—in this case at the bottom of North Creek Dam. “We use that to deacti vate the chemical, and we do it as soon as we’re applying the pesticide and we keep doing it constantly while the pesticide is still in the water,” said Had ley. This process can take up to a week, after which, once neu tralized, Hadley says there are “no lingering effects at all.” “All of that has been stud ied extensively,” said Hadley. “Rotenone has been found to have either no ecological ef fects or short-term ecologi cal effects that do not linger.” Other species that may ini tially be impacted are aquatic insects and immature amphib ians, however, fisheries man agers say there is a significant “bounce back” of these spe cies, especially following re moval of brook trout, which are voracious eaters. As to concerns related to neurotoxic effects in hu mans, Hadley says, “I’ve done a lot of research and as long as we follow the regula tions in place we don’t have any concerns. I’ve talked with other fish biologists who have used it safely for decades and they don’t have any issues ei ther. We’ve done a lot—hun dreds—of these projects. In southern Utah alone, in the last 15 years, we’ve averaged one to three every year. Some are small scale, a couple of miles, some are ten to twenty miles.” Hadley stated that he be lieves the single treatment at Joe Lay Reservoir, based on visual observations, was im mediately effective, and that they can begin restocking that reservoir this year. He antici pates that the section of North Creek below Joe Lay and North Creek Reservoir will re quire a second rotenone treat ment in summer of 2023. “The stream and North Creek Reservoir won’t have any fish in it until late next summer or fall,” said Hadley. —Insider

North Creek: We’re doing this to restore native cutthroat trout to make sure they are not threatened or endangered...A couple tributary streams of North Creek already have cutthroat so it made sense.—Mike Hadley, Assistant Aquatics Program Manager with the Division of Wildlife Resources
life Resources has been eye ing southern Utah stream sys tems to identify good locales for reintroduction of cutthroat trout. This year, they chose the North Creek system in Di xie National Forest’s Barker Recreation area, bookended by Joe Lay and North Creek reservoirs, for a Colorado River cutthroat trout restora tion project, using the pesti cide Joerotenone.Layand North Creek reservoirs—and seven miles of North Creek between the two reservoirs—were treated with rotenone over July 26 and 27, 2022, to remove nonnative fish species. “We’re doing this to re store native cutthroat trout to make sure they are not threatened or endangered,” said Mike Hadley, Assistant Aquatics Program Manager with the Division of Wildlife Resources. “A couple tribu tary streams of North Creek already have cutthroat so it madeWhitesense.” Creek, which flows into North Creek, has maintained a population of Colorado River cutthroats. “We call this a remnant popu lation. They’ve never disap peared,” said Hadley. The current project will reconnect historic habitat in North Creek with both the White and Twitchell Creek populations while maintain ing sportfishing opportuni ties in the North Creek Lakes area. “While we have made appreciable progress in build ing resilient Bonneville cut throat trout populations over the past 15 years, little prog ress has been made for CRCT since the mid-2000s,” said Mike Golden, Dixie National Forest Fish Biologist. “Re connecting these populations in North Creek takes a big step in the right direction for continued CRCT conserva tion in southern Utah.” DWR’s plan is to re stock North Creek and North Creek reservoir with CCRT, drawing from stock in the Es calante River Drainage and also from the Boulder Creek Drainage. “Fish from the two tributary streams will move to North Creek, we’ll mix them together to make sure we have good genetic diversity,” said Hadley. Because Joe Lay has been managed as a trophy brook trout fishery since 2014 and is popular with anglers, DWR will restock this res ervoir with brook and tiger trout—only with sterile indi viduals so they are not able to reproduce. (Tiger trout are a hybrid cross between a brook and a brown trout.) While sterile brook trout have been stocked in Joe Lay Reservoir for over ten years, sampling in 2021 showed that Joe Lay Reservoir still contained fer tile brook trout. Since the res ervoir is at the head of North Creek, the nonnative brook trout removal project can only be successful if the fer tile brook trout are removed from Joe Lay. “It is disappointing to temporarily lose this trophy fishery, but we’re confident that we can get the brook trout fishery in Joe Lay back to where it is now within 3-4 years after treatment,” said Richard Hepworth, Aquat ics Program Manager for the Southern Region of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resourc es. The active ingredient in liquid rotenone is a powder derived from the roots of a South American plant. Rote none is specifically poisonous to gilled organisms because it interrupts oxygen uptake from the water at the cellular level.

If anyone can bounce back from adversity and keep on smiling it is the good folk in Hanksville; we have seen it time and time again. Hanks ville, what’s not to love? With that said, Hanks ville is happening, and if you don’t believe it you should get up with Fremont farmers one day and hit the highway early (to miss all the construction delays), drive the new apron of asphalt through the park, grab some coffee at Randy’s in Caineville, and roll into Hanksville refreshed, and you will be in for a surprise. On the old motel site across from Duke’s Slick Rock Grill, new property owner Daniel Cahoon has cleared the property, and new cabin sites are under construction. What you will notice first is the huge Wild Bunch wanted poster—front and center—on the property. Dan has high hopes and the attitude to go with it. Some of the ideas Dan has for Hanks ville and his property are as •follows:Increase consideration of the Hanksville area as a home base for folks who are exploring the sur rounding area, state and national parks. Added ca pacity of accommodations in line with market trends and consumer demands. Market Hanksville and surrounding areas to peo ple beyond Utah who may not be aware of how amaz ing it is. Improve existing trails and develop new trails to increase options in the area for exploration. Increase commercial ac tivity of existing business es in Hanksville; provid ing accommodations will bring more people to spend money at restaurants, markets and gas stations. Create new commercial ventures in anticipation of increased visitors. Create new jobs for residents of Hanksville. Dan says that the first piece of property will be de veloped into an improved campground. Dan is drilling a well, installing septic and building a bathhouse to ac commodate those who want to stay. He has talked to the county clerk and thinks that he has a good handle on the requirements to build such a business there but any guid ance is welcome. The other two properties will need a lot of love and attention, and Dan is willing to do whatever it takes to make it work. All the best to you Dan…and Hanksville.

News from Wayne County Construction Projects by Adus Dorsey Swathers, rakes, bailers and farmers are all working over time in Wayne County. It seems that everywhere you go fields throughout the county are in different states of har vest, and it is easy to see who has a daytime job to keep the farm afloat. For those with a half an acre or less, the John Deere lawn mower will have to do to make us feel like we are part of the agriculture scene, and when the subject of farming arises over morning coffee, we have something we can semi relate too. As we all have learned, highway construction de lays can cause headaches and verbal abuse of the English language, but to their credit, crews and the flaggers along the Highway 24 construction corridor are doing their best to keep the Wayne School District bus coming from, and going back to Hanksville, on somewhat of a normal sched ule. With that said, and adding insult to injury, Jared Jackson, Hanksville school bus driv er—and all the kids that have to get up early to climb sleepy eyed onto the up-county bus everyday—probably is not go ing to be too enthused about the new news that UDOT has plans to begin construction on the bridge in Caineville, near the Forest Sims Sleepy Hol low Campground? So, like the motto written in bold let ters on the dentist office wall says, “Let’s just get it over with.” So here it is: [Project Overview The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will begin constructing a new bridge on State Route 24 (SR24) over the Fremont River in Wayne County, Utah, begin ning as early as September 6. The new bridge will replace the aging bridge, accommo date local and tourist traf fic, and address large storm events. Motorists can expect construction activity Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The contractor will use one-way traffic flagging, or temporary signals, when nec essary for some activities but will leave one lane in each direction open when they can safely do so.

Looking in the mall for a nightgown, I tried my luck in a store known for its sexy lingerie.To my delight, however, I found just what I was look ing for.Waiting in the line to pay, I noticed a young woman behind me holding the same item. This confirmed what I suspected all along: despite being nearly sixty, I still have a very "with it" attitude! "I see we have the same taste," I said proudly to the twenty-something behind me. "Yes," she replied. "I'm getting this for my Grandma."
It is common to hear the statement, “I want to avoid probate” or “I don’t want my family to go through the hor rors of probate.” When you ask these same individuals “What is probate?” many do not have an Probateanswer.isoneof the least understood of court process es. However, it is a procedure that can affect the family and heirs of every mature adult following his or her death. Simply stated, probate is a special state court legal pro cess for settling the debts of someone who has died, and distributing the remaining property to rightful heirs. In a probate, the person who is authorized by the pro bate court to administer the estate of a deceased person is called a personal representa tive (or executor or adminis trator in some states). A primary purpose of the probate process is to have a personal representative ap pointed for the deceased in dividual. The personal repre sentative must be appointed in order to “sign” the dece dent’s name after death. During life, a person signs a deed or bill of sale to transfer property. When a person dies, it is still neces sary to have some document to show a transfer of title. In other words, a “signature” of the decedent is necessary. The probate process provides one method of doing this. By appointing a personal repre sentative, the court authorizes that person or persons to sign for the deceased individual. Many people believe that if they have a will that there will be no probate. Noth ing could be further from the truth. Whether you have a will or do not have a will, your es tate must go through a probate proceeding if the assets are in your sole name. The only difference be tween dying with a will and dying without a will is that if you die with a will, you tell the probate court how you would like to have your property distributed after your death. If you die without a will, the state legislature tells the pro bate court how to distribute your estate. In either case, pro bate will take place. When considering wheth er to “avoid probate” or not, it is important to understand what is being avoided. In all cases, it is impor tant to be educated about the different estate planning tools. After you have reviewed the different estate planning pos sibilities, you can then make a decision as to what is best for you.

—Brent Schmidt, administrator of Intermountain Sevier Valley Hospital Classic Air Cont'd from page 1
The moon rises late, leav ing the evening sky dark, so this week and next is a great time to enjoy the wonders of the summer sky. There’s a lot you can see with your eyes alone, and, of course, more with binoculars. This week, I’ll describe what you can see of the Milky Way, our home galaxy of roughly 400 billion stars, from your own back yard.We live within the Milky Way, lying roughly 1/3 of the way from the center to an outer edge. This makes our Milky Way galaxy not sym metrical. Toward 10 p.m., the Milky Way stretches from the southwest to straight over head and on to the northeast, and this is a wonderful time to compare the inward and outward directions. When you look low in the south west, toward Sagittarius, you are looking toward the Milky Way’s center; its “down town,” where there are more stars, and they’re packed more tightly. When you look to the northeast, toward Cas siopeia and Perseus, in con trast, you’re looking toward the outer edge where there are fewer stars, and they’re more widely spaced. With your eyes alone, notice how much brighter and wider it is in the southwest than the northeast; how many times brighter and wider do you observe that it is? With binoculars or a wideangle telescope, notice how many more stars, especially fainter stars, there are in the southwest; how would you compare with the northeast? The contrast is striking, once you know to look for it, and this week and next, you can see both halves at the same time to compare. Be sure to look before the moon be comes too bright at the end of the month.Forextra credit, notice the wide split that runs up the Milky Way from near the ho rizon to the zenith. It’s strik ing once you notice it, and it’s called The Great Rift (Google it). This is not an actual split in the Milky Way but rather is the effect of countless dark clouds of gas and dust that lie within the Milky Way and that block the light from stars be yond. If those clouds weren’t there, the Milky Way would be many times brighter. Look for its edge in binoculars which in some places (in Scutum) is surprisingly sharp. Planets are out too: Sat urn, Jupiter, and Mars, in or der of appearance. Saturn is in the southeast, and it’s brighter than any star in the summer sky, so you can’t miss it. Even brighter is Jupiter, which rises about 45 minutes after sun set and which follows Saturn across the sky as the earth turns. Mars rises around mid night, and it’s brighter than any star until Sirius rises three hours before the sun. The wan ing gibbous moon is near Mars on the 16th and 17th. Venus rises less than an hour before the sun, but you shouldn’t ex pect to see it until the end of the year when it reappears in the evening sky. John Mosley was Program Supervisor of the Griffith Ob servatory in Los Angeles for 27 years and is the author of “Star gazing for Beginners” and “Stargazing with Binoculars and Telescopes.” He and his wife live in St. George, where he continues to stargaze from his retirement home while serv ing on the advisory committee for Stellar Vista Observatory.

NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT&(FONSI)
Roads: A meeting with UDOT will occur to discuss the right of way on Burr Trail. Public comments fol lowed. Three members of the public commented on the 200 North road issue. The first re iterated that the pots and rocks need to be removed, as they are encroachingon a public road and creating a hazard as tourists sometimes block the road, which could prevent an ambulance from getting through. They stated disap pointment that the other par ty had not approached them personally about this matter. The second commenter stated their own disappointment that no one had spoken to them directly, and stated that the road has never been blocked and the ambulance has gotten down there before. The third commenter stated that under criminal codes, the town can not make any concession to a city employee by allowing them parking on a public road, and the town needs to consider this. Another commenter asked for the town’s support for maintaining the pickle ball court.A last commenter, speak ing of the speed issues on Burr Trail that have been brought up and the discussed solutions such as speed lights and speed bumps, asked if it could help to just prohibit left hand turns out of the lodge parking lot on Burr Trail. It was responded that the issue has more to do with the blind hill than with left turns at that spot. A TC member asked if they could start adding a fu ture business discussion to the end of each agenda after pub lic comments, so that the TC is accountable for coming back to things that come up during the meeting and public com ment period. The Boulder Town Coun cil meets on the first Thursday of each month at 7pm.
A mandatory pre-bid conference and project walk-through will be held at 10:00 AM Mountain Time on September 9, 2022 at the Escalante City office as follows: Escalante City 56 North 100 West PO Box Escalante,189Utah 84726 The design engineer and a representative of Escalante City will be present to discuss the project at the office and will then accompany potential contractors to the project location.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HCD will accept objections to its release of funds and Torrey’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) The certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the Torrey; (b) Torrey has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) Torrey or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before the approval of a re lease of funds by HCD; (d) Another Federal agency, acting pursuant to 40 CFR part 1504, has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures of 24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76 and shall be addressed to Sarah Moore, Utah Department of Workforce Services, Housing & Community Development Division (HCD), 1385 South State, Suite 400, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115. Potential objectors should contact Sarah Moore at HCD (801) 834-4609 to verify the actual last day of the objec tion period.
Environmental Certifying Officer Published in The Wayne and Garfield County Insider on SEPTEMBER 8, 2022 can be put into an ordinance. Another commenter stated that sometimes comments are made in the chat that are important to the conversa tion, and asked that those comments be included in the record. It was responded that comments in the chat should be read during the public comment period at the end of the meeting. Though the pref erence may be that people come in person, the TC decid ed to leave the document as is, and the ordinance passed. The Mayor Pro-tem role was discussed. The Pro-tem is defined in Utah code as a councilmember who takes over the duties of the mayor if the mayor is absent, unable, or is refusing to act in their capacity as mayor. The duties of the mayor include acting as chief executive of the munici pality, keeping the peace and enforcing the law, reporting needs of the municipality, and recommending measures that they believe to be in the best interest of the municipality. Elizabeth Julian was elected as the Mayor Pro-Tem. Jason Watterson from Utah Trust then conducted a conflict of interest training. Federal and state codes were discussed. It is prohibited to use an office for personal ben efit. For example, gifts worth over $50 are prohibited from being accepted by an official, unless this comes in the form of a publicly given award. Occasional gifts (under $50) are acceptable, however, reg ular gifts are unacceptable. Officials may not receive compensation from someone applying through the town. This is complicated in a small town, as people have many different types of relation ships with one another. If an official has an interest greater than $2,000 in a proposal or business venture related to town business, they must dis close this interest, and they may recuse themselves from voting on a matter pertaining to this interest. Public officers may not employ, appoint or vote for the appointment of a relative, however, there are some exceptions to this in small towns if they can justify that there is no one else with the specific skills for the job, and disclosure should first oc cur. No officer may directly supervise an appointee who is a relative. City property, for example a back hoe used for roads, may not be used for personal projects. It is illegal to use private information outside of official capacities to harm someone or benefit themselves. Most conflict of interest legal cases would go through the Attorney Gen eral’s office. Any resident of the state can bring a case to the State Auditor or Attorney General’s office for investiga tion. If the town is working on an ordinance that affects a member of a town body, it may not be considered a con flict of interest as the scenario does not affect them different ly than it affects others with a similar situation. A copy of the slides will be made avail able on the town website with the other documents for this meeting. $592 was appropriated for grading and gravel on a road north of town that has been washed out. Town lights were dis cussed. One bid was received. The bid was approved, with the additional costs of a timer and the labor involved. 100 North Road was discussed. A property is in the process of being bought which would require main taining that road, which is a platted town road that is cur rently in bad shape. Dead and live trees would have to be removed, and the road needs to be graded and surfaced. The original agenda item stated that it was a request for vacating the road, however, this was incorrect. A neigh bor stated their approval for opening the road. The buyer stated that he could remove the debris in the way, fix fenc es and put in culverts, how ever, as it is a town road, he asked if the town would then establish grade and surface. A TC member responded that this is how it’s been done with other roads. It was discussed that the town should go over their procedural bylaws and make sure things are in writ ing. A Planning Commision (PC) member stated that since this is a platted town road, the town would just be agreeing to maintain the road that they already own, which would fall under the ordinances. The TC will discuss this with the at torney and make sure any de cision they make is in written form, with the procedure writ ten out for future situations. Fire restrictions were discussed. Documentation was not done properly when the fire restriction went into effect, and in the future, this must be written as a resolu tion. The county, Escalante and public lands have rescind ed their fire restrictions. A mo tion was made to rescind the fire restrictions in town. Department reports fol lowed. A thank you was given to whoever recently cleaned the free bin. It was asked that anyone leaving town pick up boxes of clothes to bring to thrift stores. Library: The library is now open Saturdays and Wednesdays from 11-1. Planning Commission: The PC has been discussing the upcoming housing forum, scheduled for November. A public hearing on fire hydrants in subdivisions will take place on Thursday, September 8. Parks: A meeting will occur to select a Chair and a Clerk. Landfill: The town is still waiting for metal to be picked up. Another pit will have to be dug soon.The current one has lasted less than a year and is mostly full of building materi al. Construction sites are sup posed to have rollaways and materials should not be left in the dump. There is some un certainty about the property line and how much space is actually still available for new pits.
INTENT TO REQUEST FOR THE RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about September 23, 2022, Torrey Town will sub mit a request to the State of Utah, Department of Workforce Services, Housing and Community Development Division (HCD) for the release of Community Development Block Grants Funds (CDBG) under Title I of the Housing and Com munity Development Act of 1974 (PL93-383) to undertake the project known as Torrey Town Park Improvements for the pur pose of extending the children’s play area from 4053 to 5079 sq. ft. with the addition of a new swing set, a Spinali and a Unity rocker. The park is at 100 North 75 East in Torrey, Utah and will cost approximately $40,000; $37,792 coming from State CDBG funding from HUD.
