BIC Building

We would like to hear feedback from the community concerning the options for the BIC Building (the Old High School) moving forward.

Panguitch Business Opportunity Center Rural Communities Opportunity Grant Project Proposal

Option A

Rural Communities Opportunity Grant

Panguitch City has been awarded the Rural Communities Opportunity Grant to start the renovation process of the BIC Building.

The Grant is for $365,930 with the city contributing 20% in matching funds totaling $73,186. The match is not in the current budget and the match will require finding additional funds by eliminating or reducing other services, taking the money out of the surplus account or raising taxes to find additional funding. Keep in mind this is just phase 1 there will be potential for 2 additional phases in the following years, each will require the city to produce 20% in matching funds if additional future grant funding can be obtained.

Note: A detail description of the grant proposal is attached.

Option B

Garfield County School District

Per the original sale agreement of the old high school (BIC building) to the city, if the building and property became available the school district could have the first option to purchase the property back for $1 if it was needed for school expansion or student needs.

The School District has expressed a desire to purchase back from the city the parcel of land with the BIC Building (old high school property).

The request from the school district is to help with possible phased construction of District buildings in Panguitch. Specifically, the high school, middle school, and district office. The school district is exploring different possible options to build a new middle school and district office as a combined building to replace the less than adequate middle school. That will allow the current middle school to be used during construction and for enough space afterward to build a phase of the high school on its grounds.

One of the challenges for the school district project is having spaces for students to continue attending school while construction is being done. It’s our current belief that Career and Technology Education (CTE) facilities will be done on the Bus Depot property in the future. Therefore, our area to construct buildings near the current campuses is extremely limited. Getting back the old High School property would help in developing the new building plans.

The district is committed to working with its local governments and Panguitch City in possible developing facilities that the City and School can use jointly such as meeting space or a new gym facility.

Current BIC building occupants would be displaced as the building would be torn down with this option.

Option C

Continue With Current Building

Do nothing and let the building continue to deteriorate.

OTHER TIMES AVAILABLE BY APPOINTMENT 435-676-8375

Panguitch City Library: The Library at 25 S 200 E is open from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  It is open from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Tuesday and Thursday.

Social Hall: Social Hall keys are available to Panguitch residents for a $20 nonrefundable fee.  You may exchange your old key for a new key.  Those who wish to obtain a key must sign a contract that minors (anyone under 18) will be accompanied by an adult when using the Social Hall.  Failure to follow this policy will result in the forfeiture of your key.

Secondary Water:  Secondary water users, the city is asking residents to water residential yards during the week, Monday through Friday, and for those with pastures, to water only on Saturday or
Sunday.

If your home address is an odd number you will water on odd days of the month. If your home address is even, you will be able to water on even days of the month. Pastures on the west side of the main street in Panguitch City will water on Saturday and the east side water on Sunday. Pasture watering days switch each year. In order to maintain sufficient pressure in the system, no pastures should be watered during the week and no residential yards should be watered on the weekend. If you notice someone watering out of turn, we ask you to be kind and continue to set a good example for others. If you notice a chronic problem of watering out of turn, please report it to the city office. In the past watering out of turn has been a problem. Those watering out of turn will be subject to the following penalties:

1st time – verbal warning
2nd time – $25 fine to be paid before your next watering turn
3rd time – $100 fine to be paid before your next watering turn
4th time – secondary water will be capped

Another issue is watering with too many sprinkler-heads at one time, or the size of the head too large. The city has the following rules regarding sprinklers:
a. No more than seven sprinkler heads going at one time, these are small sprinklers used in home sprinkler systems.
b. No more than 2 field sprinklers going at one time. If you have large heads on a line, now more than one line going at a time.
c. NO OPEN HOSES. This has always been the case since the system was built.
d. USU extension office shows in many cases we are over-watering our lawns. If you don’t need the water, shut it off.

Outdoor Culinary Water Usage: You have 12,000 gallons of culinary water per month included in your culinary water service, any water used beyond the 12,000 gallons is charged at $1.00 per thousand gallons. If you use culinary water for outdoor watering please note these rules:
a. no culinary(drinking) watering between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm.
b. no pasture watering with culinary water.
