Discussed
The town's engineer said grinding of Main Canyon Road would start the next day, from the church to Roundy Lane, with fog seal, chip seal and striping the following week. A council member asked that residents be notified and for another speed-limit sign near the bend into town; the engineer said he would follow up with the contractor.
Item 3 · Roads and utilities
Stormwater master plan
Approved · 5-0
The council unanimously accepted the final stormwater master plan, designed around a 100-year storm; the 2024 flooding was estimated at a 25-year storm. The recommended option, larger catch basins, culverts and gutters on 100 North, Main Street and 200 South draining toward Spring Creek, costs $176,845 before engineering, and the town was awarded $176,560 for this phase. The other options were no action or a $1,324,400 plan to pipe everything. The plan now goes to the state Community Development Block Grant office, with bidding planned this fall and 4-6 weeks of construction in the spring.
