The Manila Town Council on March 12 voted to approve a request from Flaming Gorge Manila KOA to convert six existing tent sites into five RV sites and authorized customary community sponsorships for several local rodeos.
The council accepted the KOA site-change after staff explained the plan would replace six tent sites with five RV sites (two patio sites with upgraded amenities, three standard sites) and tap the campground's existing power, water and sewer lines; the project will not create new city hookups. The council approved the change by voice vote after Speaker 2 moved to accept and Speaker 4 seconded. The approval is contingent on submission of engineered plans and the required building-permit application.
The council also approved its annual sponsorship commitments for community rodeos. Members discussed customary support levels — typically $250 for the Cow Country Junior Rodeo and $150 for the Daggett County PRCA rodeo — and passed motions allocating the standard amounts. The consent calendar was approved at the start of the meeting.
Tracy Frost of Flaming Gorge Manila KOA (Speaker 4) addressed the council and confirmed the applicant will work with an engineering firm to provide plans and expects to complete the campground upgrades by mid-summer, subject to permitting and zoning review. During the discussion, staff clarified that two of the converted sites will include higher-capacity power (50/30/20 amp), and all sites will remain on the campground's internal utilities.
Council members emphasized paperwork and timing: the council's favorable votes authorize the site-change in principle but require that the KOA file detailed plans as part of the building-permit process. If the plans or required conditional permits identify new impacts, additional review or hearings could be required.
Next steps: the applicant will deliver final drawings to town staff for permit review; the council requested the applicant provide plans to the clerk as soon as they are available. No legal action or ordinance was adopted at the meeting; the approval was a planning/permit authorization by the council.
