Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Cache County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Seasonal Road Closures and Civil Liability
The council discussed updating code for seasonal road closures, timelines for public notices, and imposing civil liability and rescue cost recovery on motorists who violate closures.
Out-of-Cycle RAPZ and Restaurant Tax Grants
The council awarded out-of-cycle RAPZ grants totaling $325,000 for local cultural and recreational projects, including a tractor barn at the American West Heritage Center and seating replacement at the Caine Lyric Theatre.
Emergency Alert System
A glitchy emergency alert mistakenly told some Cache County folks to evacuate for a wildfire, causing unnecessary panic. City officials will likely need to address what went wrong with the system.
Animal Control Ordinance
Cache County just outlawed feeding wild turkeys and other critters to stop nuisance wildlife problems. If you live in the area, you'll need to stop tossing food to local animals or face a new fine.
