This week, the Moab City Council discussed the city’s sustainability plan, discussed new rules of order and procedures for future meetings (in accordance with Utah State Code), discussed sales tax revenue bonds, and approved a grant agreement with the Utah Permanent Community Impact Board for the Kane Creek Boulevard Reconstruction project. The project will cost an estimated $8.8 million; $3.7 million will come from a grant, $4.2 from a loan, and the city will contribute $868,000. Construction bids for the project will be due in November.
The council also approved two new members to the Moab City Planning Commission: Carolyn Conant and Machael Layton. Mayor Joette Langianese said there were four applications for the two spots.
“I’m very happy to have these two gals on board,” Langianese said. Both people have planning experience, which Langianese said will be important for upcoming projects; their terms will end December 2024.
The city has started interviewing people for the parks, recreation, and trails director position, City Manager Carly Castle said.
