Memo

Administration Department

Subject: New Strategic Update Format Author: Bret Howser Department: Administration

Date: 8-7-14 The attached report is a Strategic Update for August 2014. This report outlines the progress that staff has made on each of the action steps in the adopted 2015 Strategic Plan. This report will be updated and sent to the Council each month along with the packet for the first Council meeting. It is intended for this report to replace the monthly department updates done in years past. Departments may still attach a memo outlining important things for the Council to know which, for whatever reason, may not be addressed in the action steps. But for the most part, every critical progress report is related to an action step and is therefore contained in the Strategic Update Report. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with this new format. As always, we’re flexible and willing to meet your information needs.

Town Council

Staff Report

Subject: Branding Author: Molly Cosby Department: Administration Date: August 12, 2014 Type of Item: Legislative

SUMMARY:

Staff will present new slogans for Council’s approval

TOPIC/DISCUSSION:

Branding campaign

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

Council has offered opinions on the previously presented logos and slogans

BACKGROUND:

The Branding Committee met on the 29th of July to discuss slogans. As a committee, we ran through various terms of what best describe Brian Head and our target market for the branding campaign. Our target market is the locals, which are the sophisticated and adventurous fresh faces around town, and the down-to-earth, friendly folk that built Brian Head to what it is today. The other half of our target market is the tourists that visit Brian Head. We wanted a slogan that attracted the tourists constantly, and supported the locals living in the town. As a committee, three slogans were accepted: “Strong Traditions, Higher Perspectives”, “Live and Play”, and “Four Seasons of Fun”. The latter became the one we, as a committee, felt exemplified what we have been trying to accomplish.

ANALYSIS:

“Four Seasons of Fun” is the best fit for Brian Head for a number of reasons, and as a committee we have narrowed it down to six.

1. Economic Growth. Tourists will continue to come in the winter, and when they do, they will see the slogan and it will spark curiosity of what we have to offer in other seasons. That will attract more tourists in our offseason and strengthen our tourist numbers in the winter. More tourism will attract more businesses and empower already present businesses.

2. Year Round Activity

Page 17: The Regular Meeting of the Brian Head Town Council Brian ...siterepository.s3.amazonaws.com/2643/8_12_14_council_meeting_p… · Dated the 8th Day of August 2014. Available to Board

As stated above, the slogan will attract tourists to come in other times of the year. Our winter season will most likely always be our busiest season, and we will be able to entice the winter tourists to visit in the offseason.

3. No Pigeon-holing. As of right now, our logo has three characters that define us as an adventure industry. This new logo does not pigeon-hole us into a town that discriminates other sports or activities, but rather suggests one can do a variety of activities all year round.

4. Longevity. One of our major goals as a committee is to create a brand for Brian Head that will stand the test of time. We hope to be the last branding committee for at least two decades. This slogan is simple, timeless, and exemplifies what Brian Head is and always will be – fun, all year round.

5. Represents the Vision. The Vision created by the Vision committee for the Town exemplifies everything the Town is; it represents the foundations and most importantly the goals. The Vision committee toiled over a Vision statement that is the foundation of the Town, and the slogan need only be derived from the Vision statement. This slogan shows that we are a mountain community, and that we offer year round activity.

6. Fun is an Umbrella. The word “fun” in the slogan includes family, friends, adventure, community, atmosphere, and plenty of activities. Fun is an umbrella word that encompasses every aspect of Brian Head; one can interpret and experience “fun” however they please.

These six reasons are the strongest qualities we as a committee were looking for in a slogan, and we are very content that we have found one that meets the qualifications. Since we have such a strong slogan now, ideas have sprung forward about a logo. We are currently in discussion with a designer who can deliver our vision.

Staff Report

Subject: Bear Flat Well Completion Author: Tom Stratton Department: Public Works Department Date: 8-12-14 Type of Item: Discussion and Decision

SUMMARY:

This agenda item is to inform Council as to the status of the existing Bear Flat Well and the approximate cost to finish up the necessary repairs on the well itself. As far as the completion of the work by Chad Carter, Carter Enterprises, his punch list of unfinished items is nearly complete. I am now going to focus the rest of the summer and fall on getting this project complete and the well back on line. We need this source of water for snowmaking purposes this winter. .

TOPIC/DISCUSSION:

This discussion and decision is to discuss the approximate costs of completing the well. The approximate cost for the repairs will be between $90,000 and $100,000.00. In speaking with Dewy Petersen, Petersen Bros Drilling, he is the last to send a camera down the well and thinks he can fix it for a cost around $80,000.00. This meeting is to discuss the costs and associated items with the repairs.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Council entered into an agreement with Grimshaw

Drilling.

BACKGROUND:

Back in 2011 the well screen located 500 feet down the well collapsed. This collapse most likely occurred when the well was being test pumped for final completion of the well. At the recommendation of Grimshaw Drilling, two different companies were brought in to attempt to “swedge” the collapse out of the way. Prior to the attempt to swedge the collapse there was no tear in the screen. It was bowed inward. After both attempts, the screen was left with more damage than prior to their attempts. .

Page 27: The Regular Meeting of the Brian Head Town Council Brian ...siterepository.s3.amazonaws.com/2643/8_12_14_council_meeting_p… · Dated the 8th Day of August 2014. Available to Board

ANALYSIS:

We need this well to be online and in service to assist with the delivery of snowmaking water to the ski resort and as a redundant to the existing Town Hall Well. Currently if the Town Hall Well failed, we would not be able to meet the demands of the customers. After speaking with several different companies, Peterson Drilling, Mund Drilling, Johnson Screens, the State of Utah Engineers office, I have determined that the most effective both in operation and cost would be to install a sleeve inside the well. To do this the defective, torn, screen would either be pierced or physically removed from the well.

The following is a letter that I sent out concerning the well and it’s repair: I have been working on a resolution to the problems we are having at Bear Flat Well. The primary problem that I feel I need to deal with first is the tear in the screen. I first believed that we would be able to pump the well with the large hole in the screen at the 524 ft level. The more I continue to think about it as well as ask several different well professionals, I am afraid that pumping large volumes of water (which our pump is very capable of) will cause further mining of the dirt behind the torn screen. This would mean that we would never get a clean water sample capable of passing a bacteria test. Prolonged pumping would also cause the lower end of the well to fill up with gravel and dirt as the water flows through the dirt. Two years ago, we tried to “swedge” the torn screens. This operation only worsened the problem and made the holes and defective areas larger. Two different companies were used to perform swedging operations and both of them failed to complete the task. The first patch was put in at 515 ft and the second patch installed at 517 ft. We now see a separation of the patch at 522 ft. The bottom of the hole appears to be at 534 ft. My thoughts are, install a new casing, 12” in diameter all the way down to the 700 ft. level where the 16” casing transitions to a 8” casing. This new casing, for the first 500 ft. should be “mill slotted”. This is the old style of well casing prior to the use of stainless steel screen. In between the two casing, pea gravel 3/8” size gravel will be installed. This will keep the new casing stable, while allowing only water to pass through to the pump. The bottom of this new casing should come all the way up to just below the pit less adaptor. This will give us access to the space between the casings to fill with gravel. Here are my concerns with this project; What needs to be done to clear the damage out of the way of the new casing? Will the casing go right through the damage on it’s way down the hole? What can be done to prevent any bridging of the gravel as it is put in between the two casings? Is the existing casing straight enough to allow the new casing down it? If this is the way we decide to go, the Town should purchase the casing (a size to be determined) and the gravel pack. We would then get quotes from drillers who think they have the ability to handle this project. Town staff will take care of the landscaping and clean up issues as well as the asphalt that needs to installed/replaced. I need to have this project done this summer. We are going to rely on this well to produce snow making water in the fall.

DEPARTMENT REVIEW:

The preceding is the technique that has been recommended several times by several different professionals. It may vary slightly from my letter but we all agree to the same ideas.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

$100,000.00. This is only an estimate. We would need to first decide what we are going to do, then put out a Request for Proposal to do the work. There is $45,000 set aside in the Asset Reserve Fund

RECOMMENDATION:

Agree on the need to repair and finish up the well and allow staff to prepare documents to go to bid to for the repairs.

Subject: Ordinance No. 14-007 Amending Brian Head Town Personnel Policies &

Procedures Manual Adding Release Time for Full-Time Employees Author: Cecilia Johnson, Town Treasurer

Department: Administration

Date: August 12, 2014

Type of Item: Legislative

Topic Description: Ordinance No. 14-007 Amending Brian Head Town’s Personnel Policies & Procedures Manual Adding Release Time for Full-Time Employees

Background: Based on reviewing what other governmental offices allow for release time staff has determined that employees need to get up from their desk or take a break from other work for 1 and ½ hours per week. The employee will take this break(s) for exercise purposes (i.e. walking, hiking, running, skiing, snow-shoeing, etc.). It has been proven that this will help cut back on medical costs and help the employee better focus on his/her workload. This issue should be addressed in the Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual. Analysis: If approved, the Brian Head Town employees may use the allotted 1 and ½ hours per week either, all at once one day per week or, ½ hour sessions three days per week or, any other combination of hours to total the 1 ½ hours per week. The 1 ½ hours must be approved by the Department Heads. The Office will be covered from the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The release time cannot take place immediately prior to work or immediately after work but must be used during the work day. Department Review: The release time has been reviewed by staff and staff would like to encourage all employees to follow the release time schedule as proposed, if approved by Council. Financial Implications: If the Ordinance approving release time for full-time employees is adopted, there would be no additional financial implications to the Town (however, there will probably be healthier employees).
