City Manager's Updates
Dixie Springs Special Assessment Area
Interstate Rock of Hurricane and Sunroc from St. George were awarded the bids for construction of the improvements for plats C,D,E & F of Dixie Springs. Sunroc will be installing the main sewer trunk line to the lagoons. Insterstate Rock will be completing all the improvements within the subdivision. The contractors began working in February and are busy working on sewer and storm drain. The contract provides for a completetion date in April 2013. I have seen some activity in lot sales within the subdivision during the past month. I don't know the details or prices as I see only the requests from the title companies for assessment information. The payment schedules have been worked out and you will see them below. The administrator is setting up quarterly payoff dates for full payoff on lots. This will make it possible to payoff lots four times during the year and thus reduce the interest portion of the payoff. The city has contracted with Zions public finance to handle the billing and collection of the assessments. You will find listed below the payments schedules the right side is for those who have not amde any prepayment and owe the assessment balance of $24,003.19, and for the ones who paid the up front $3,000.00 the schedule for $20,690.32 on the left side. If you have payoff requests or payment questions they can be directed to Alyson Price at 801-844-7387. Feel free to call me if you like to check up on the status of the improvements. You can reach me at 435-635-2811 ext 111; send an email to clark@cityofhurricane.com or a letter to 147 North 870 West Hurricane, Utah 84737. I will answer back as soon as I can.

The final plan for a Nature Park located at the confluence of the Virgin River, the Ash and LaVerkin Creeks was approved by the Washington County Commission on May 17, 2007. The communities of Hurricane, LaVerkin and Toquerville along with Washington County, the Utah Department of Natural Resources, the Utah Division of Wildlife, BLM, the Virgin River Program, and the Virgin River Land Preservation Association are members of the planning team. This planning team is working under the following vision statement:
"Confluence Park is a special place set aside for enjoyment and use by people and for preservation, protection, and enhancement ot the area's rich cultural history, wildlife and natural resources."
A trailhead has bee constructed on the LaVerkin side complete with parking and kiosk showing the trails and other information on the park. A grant has also been submitted for restrooms. The trails have been marked and conservation work has been completed removing dead and non native species of trees. There has also been planting of some native vegatation to return the land to a more natural state. Camping is permited in the park but access to camp sites are on foot and you must pack everything in and out. If you haven't been down to see it you should plan a hike. Spring and Fall are the best times but if you want to play in the water summer is best. Another trail head is planned for the end of North Main in Hurricane.
