Slow times in Richmond when old doors top the agenda By
Nicole R. Grubbs RICHMOND -- The winter months bring little for the City Council to worry about. Tuesday's meeting was brief, and the biggest issue was what to do with some doors that are in storage. The council debated, at length, how to properly dispose of two wooden doors and three steel doors that are just taking up space, according to Councilman L.D. Bowcutt. The council discussed putting an advertisement in the newsletter. "If you put them up for bidding, you'll open a big can of worms," city manager Marlowe Atkinson said. Council members joked about putting them in a dumpster and just letting people know they were there. "Someone will get them out," said Stacee Andrus, treasurer. Bowcutt suggested giving them to Deseret Industries. In the end, everyone decided it would be best to spread the news about the doors by word of mouth. "We will tell people informally," said Mayor Kip Panter. In other business, the council read a letter from a citizen who supports the pulling matches the city holds in the spring. Council members also had cake and ice cream for the birthdays of city recorder Boyd Lewis and Panter. Nov. 6 elections went fairly unnoticed, as well. They held great promise for Panter and Councilmen Bowcutt and Cordell Johnson as all three men ran unopposed. The election canvass ran pretty smoothly, said Atkinson. "There was at least one person who didn't know if they should vote for more than one councilman," he said. "Were they from Florida?" Panter asked jokingly. Andrus said this election was not stressful. "They ran unopposed and we didn't have to swear them in or anything," Andrus said. Kurt Ander and Clint Groll each received one write-in vote for councilman. The council was unsure about what to do with the results. "I guess if the council feels comfortable with it, they just vote to approve it, is that how it works?" Atkinson asked. Lewis kept the votes in a sealed envelope and the council unanimously approved the results.
