This week, the Stanhope City Council voted to add eight cameras will be installed to the common areas at the Stanhope Community Center. Stanhope City Council member Beau Jensen said that approximately 8 cameras can be purchased for between $500 to $700. The agreement with SUMMIT Fire was terminated last November. The new cameras would provide monitoring for motion, heat and more. The cameras will be installed in the center in the coming weeks. Stanhope Public Librarian Deidre Malmquist presented a public garden program to the city council. Malmquist has done extensive work on obtaining donations and funding to support the garden. The council approved the request this week. The Stanhope City Council tabled action on the proposed 28-E agreement for Stanhope’s law enforcement until a future council meeting.
In other matters, the Stanhope City Council approved the motion for a water facility and wastewater treatment contract with Liquid Logic,L.L.C. of Boise,Idaho.

There will also be a Food Truck Friday this summer. The Block Party in Stanhope will return to a date to be announced this summer.
