RECOGNITION AND RESPONSE TO VISITORS RELATING TO CITY BUSINESS
Leo Kanell – Tentative Approval of Milford Critical Access Hospital Location -
Attorney Kanell discussed the location for the new hospital proposing that it be placed closer to Main Street. There were issues with the first proposed site as the Department of Transportation would not allow a jog in 600 North, the streets would have to be aligned on both sides of Main Street. The new site location would be directly off of Main Street, for which UDOT has approved the access. Overall it is a better location, however the relocation would require development for commercial lots. The proposed plan would eliminate 100 East at 600 North making two commercial lots; the suggestion is to place the hospital in the first block. Neil Bradshaw is seeking an agreement from the City that 600 North would not be located there. Attorney Kanell further explained that Advanced Development would like to reserve the longer lots for residential use with agriculture zone potential. Mayor Mayer preferred it be located on Main Street, as did Council Member Davis. The overall area would allow for future growth. Council Member Davis thanked Attorney Kanell for his efforts, stating that he liked the location.
Council Member Cullen Carter addressed property located south of the City limits which is creating a dust nuisance and safety concern. He asked Attorney Kanell if the county could take enforcement against the property owners. Attorney Kanell stated he would discuss the nuisance with Craig Davis.
Attorney Kanell was excused at 7:28 pm
Shirlene Willden – Relay for Life Cancer Benefit
Shirlene Willden discussed the Cancer Relay for Life Benefit to take place in Beaver on June 27 and 28. She stated there were 28 new cases of Cancer in Beaver County so far this year and invited members of the Council to participate in and support the event.
Sheriff Cameron Noel – Discussion of Sheriff’s Contract
Sheriff Noel discussed the Sheriff’s Contract with the members of the Council. After reviewing the sheriff contract figures in a meeting with the Beaver County Commission he proposed an increase to the individual communities; he has visited Beaver, Minersville, and the school district. He reported there were five deputies living in Milford with at least 20 hours per day of coverage offered in two 10 hour shifts; the contract is for 16 hours per day. He stated he was not wanting to change the coverage, but with the increase in the Sheriff’s Department operating budget, it was necessary to request an increase in the municipal contracts. Council Member Davis discussed the contract stipulations for increases and asked if Beaver County was paying for administrative support (dispatch, buildings, etc). Sheriff Noel replied that the county was picking up the tab; he has also asked the School Board to pitch in for the school resource officer. Council Member Davis, referring to Page 6, Number 12 of the police contract with Milford City, indicated that he felt the board needed to be setup. Sheriff Noel felt the contract should be revised. Council Member Davis and Sheriff Noel discussed the narcotics officer with Councilman Davis stating the need for the officer to spend more time in Milford. Councilman Davis also reported that there have been numerous complaints regarding animal control. Sheriff Noel asked the city staff to refer all applicable complaints to the Sheriff’s Department, Citizens should be contacting dispatch to file complaints. Council Member Carter asked Sheriff Noel for assistance in educating the general public to contact the Sheriff’s Department to file complaints. Council Member Davis recommended that City Manager Kennedy leave the budget as is and it can be adjusted in the future if needed.
Cameron Noel and Cody Black left at 7:55 pm
