Upcoming Holiday events was the main focus of the November Huntington City Council meeting that was held on November 16th at the Huntington Council Chambers room. The annual Turkey Trot race and the Huntington City annual city Christmas party at the fire station are coming in the next couple of weeks.
Councilman Lamar Guymon announced that the route for the annual run and the sign-up location are different this year than in year’s past. Racers can start signing up at 7 a.m. at the Miners Memorial Park located at 400 West and Canyon Road. The run itself will begin at 7:30 a.m. and will go toward the complex, then down Nielson Loop road to the road that goes east toward the lake, back to Highway 10 and then along the walking trail back to the complex and then return to the Miners Memorial park.
Mayor Hilary Gordon and Councilman Mark Justice announced that the Christmas Party will be held at the Huntington Fire Station on Dec. 1 with appointments with Santa starting at 4 p.m. Dinner consisting of soup, chili, rolls, pie and cookies will begin being served at 6 p.m. and will go until out of food or people, whichever comes first.
Councilperson Laneea Cowley announced that the Youth City Council will be hosting activities for kids throughout the evening and that local school classes will be performing Christmas songs during the festivities.
In other business, the Council approved a beer license for Palenque Mexican Grill. The restaurant is still working with the State of Utah on their approval. The Council also approved a bid from Nielson Construction to clean up the McCallister property located between Main Street and 100 West and between 300 South and 400 South. The city was responsible for most of what has been deposited on this property.
Rhett Huff from the Utah State office of the Lions Club was in town asking for help to keep the local chapter of the Lions Club alive. There are only six local members and no new members in quite a long time. The local Lions Club chapter will go away without new members and a renewed willingness to serve by the current members. This is a county wide association and it is easier to maintain the current club rather than start over with a new club.
Mayor Gordon and Councilman Guymon met with the City Attorney over the proposed EMS project and the attorney’s advice was “Do not sign this agreement.” There is too much potential liabilities in the agreement for the cities and he also said that the county cannot force a city to do anything. Guymon mentioned that Castle Dale has no EMT’s and the Castle Dale ambulance has been moved to Orangeville.
