The Levan Town Council had a brief meeting on Feb. 6,
2002 at Levan Town Hall. New business licenses were
approved, gas rates discussed, and a meeting between Forest
Service and the irrigation company was scheduled. EMT
training was also approved by the council.
•Golden Mangelson brought to the council's
attention the need to discuss with the Forest Service water
rights. A public meeting will be held Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2002
at 2:00 p.m. to discuss these issues.
•New business licenses were approved for Janalee
Mangelson, an in-home beauty shop; Andrew Robinson,
engineering and tech support, health and nutrition sales and
shipment; and Heather Taylor, a greenhouse. A business
license for Wayne Rice will be held over until the council
can meet or talk with him concerning a mobile trailer park.
Concerns over trailers not meeting codes prompted the
council to wait until Inspector Verl Wilkey could look over
the trailers and approve them for use.
•Ryan Aagard expressed his concern for city
funding for EMT training in Levan Town. Emergency Medical
Technician (EMT) training was approved unanimously by the
council for Bruce Rowley, Levan fire chief, and for anyone
else interested to run on the ambulance crew. Seven-hundred
dollars was approved for Levan Town to pay for training to
be held in March in Ephraim. However, people who take the
course have to commit for two years of service on the
ambulance crew. If not, then those individuals will
reimburse the town for the training.
•In July of 2001 a $.03 gas rate increase was
approved by Levan council. This increases the price per
therm to $.71. This increase was never changed and will now
show up on residents's monthly statements. County residents
will also see a 5% increase. The new rate is the same as
Nephi City.
•The council discussed increasing the amount of
utility deposits to cover any shortfalls. Council members
were concerned that the existing amount of deposits
&emdash;$150.00 for gas, $150.00 for electric&emdash; would
not be sufficient enough in case someone skipped out on
their bill. Rod Wankier and Ryan Aagard, council members,
were asked to work on the new ordinance.
Utah Municipal Power Agency will hold a meeting Feb.
28, 2002 in St. George. Levan Town will hold a work session
with the Forest Service Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2002. The next
scheduled town meeting will be March 6 , 2002.
