The Orderville Town Board met at the town offices on Wednesday, March 5, 2025. Board members Marianne Leigh, Shaun Sharkey, Rory Hatch and Susan Esplin were in attendance. Mayor Lyle Goulding called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. Minutes from the previous meeting and bills presented for payment were unanimously approved.
Natalie Brannon and Sylvia Sims presented to the board on the process for becoming a certified Dark Skies community through Dark Skies International. The process consists of an application, creating a dark skies ordinance, and annual reporting on light pollution improvements in the community. The board took the information under advisement for further discussion.
Next, the board unanimously approved the appointment of four applicants for the recently created Recreation Development Committee, an ad hoc group that will work on the development of a park for the town. Nick Hoyt, Martin Hoyt, Brittany Johnson and Vanessa Pavlides were appointed to the board chaired by Kourtney Millard. There was spirited discussion around which member of the town board would act as liaison to the committee, with the board agreeing to further consideration of the matter.
The board next unanimously approved business licenses for T and T LLC, Sugar Knoll Chicken and Carpe Diem Construction. Mayor Lyle Goulding, as the applicant for Sugar Knoll, abstained from voting.
A motion to adjourn at 7:59 p.m. was unanimously approved by the board.
Orderville Town Board meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the basement of the town offices. Agendas and minutes can be found on the Utah Public Notices website at utah.gov/pmn/.
