ARI UPDATE – PEGGY
MADSEN & CAROL DUNCAN
Personnel Director Peggy Madsen requested that Carol Duncan be able to sign the ARI bills and to have signing authority for requests for payment. Ms. Madsen also requested that Roger Handy be authorized to sign titles on the transfer vehicles.

MOTION: A motion was made by Commissioner Davis to authorize Carol Duncan to review and sign
authorization for payment for all ARI billings and to sign requests for payment
for the personnel department. Commissioner Hansen seconded the motion and
the motion unanimously carried.

OTHER BUSINESS
Transportation Enhancement Program – Denton Beecher
County Surveyor Denton Beecher explained to the
Commissioners that the Transportation Enhancement Program is an 80/20-match
program of reimbursable monies for trails, bicycle and pedestrian trails and/or
enhancements along transportation routes. Commissioner Davis asked what the
scope of applications would be that comply or would be appropriate. Mr. Beecher
explained that there
are 12 categories that an application would
have to fit into and read those
categories to the Commissioners. Mr. Beecher said that he thinks Brigham City
is going to apply for a grant for the bike trail on the Bird Refuge Road to
continue across the highway.
Commissioner Davis stated it
would make
sense for the County to apply for a
continuation of that route beyond the city limits, because it would strengthen
both applications. He feels that if
Brigham City applies for a grant and the
County
picks up from that point forward, it shows that we are
supporting each other but not applying
for the same grant. Mr. Beecher said if the County has anything in mind they want to pursue, the applications need to be submitted
by January 2005. Commissioner Rees
feels the County really needs something like this.
Denton Beecher, Building and Grounds, said he had three volunteers that work with tower clocks throughout the state come and get the bell tower clock displayed on the main floor of the Courthouse running. They suggested building a cabinet to encompass the hands to protect them from children playing with them. They also suggested a way to make the striker work because watching how the mechanisms work would be of interest to the public. The clock was built in 1885. Commissioner Hansen feels this is a window of opportunity second to none. Mr. Beecher asked the Commissioners if they would like him to pursue this and get an estimate for fixing the striker. The Commissioners gave their full support and approval.

A motion was made
by Commissioner Hansen to adjourn. Chairman
Rees seconded the motion, and the meeting adjourned at 9:42 a.m.
