Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Price City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Commercial EV Charging Rate Schedule
The city electric committee proposed adding a specialized demand-based rate schedule for commercial electric vehicle charging stations to account for their heavy electrical draw and protect municipal infrastructure from system damage.
EWP Flood Mitigation Land Acquisition
City officials proposed transforming a portion of Pioneer Park into a stormwater detention basin and removing 16 dying trees to mitigate severe neighborhood flooding and improve park safety.
City Operational Oversight
The city council will review routine safety tips and receive administrative updates from department heads to keep city operations running smoothly.
Water Infrastructure Upgrades
The city is applying for state funding to design major upgrades for its water treatment plant, addressing algae issues and increasing capacity for future growth and pipeline maintenance.
Caselle Software and Citizen Portal Integration
Price City must urgently transition its utility billing and administrative software to Cassell's Community Connect cloud platform because Express Bill Pay is ending its real-time payment contract. The switch requires new credit card terminals and an increased annual platform fee, but will improve system security and streamline timekeeping and online payment forms.
Rose Park Restroom and Playground Upgrades
The city is moving forward with major renovations at Rose Park, including a restroom remodel and new playground equipment funded by an outdoor recreation grant. City staff negotiated a lower contractor price and will use city labor to finish specific tasks.
Water Conservation
Following recent policy changes, the city announced an upcoming workshop with the Division of Water Resources to help residents transition to water-wise landscaping and xeriscaping.
Canyon Crest Townhomes Site Plan Review
Developers want to build an 11-unit townhome project at 558 E. 200 S., but city officials are pushing back because the plan doesn't meet updated parking rules and packs too many units into a small space. Commissioners pointed out that tight garages and zero visitor parking spots could turn the complex into a traffic and parking nightmare for the neighborhood.
