The following items were discussed out of order.

2. Discussion of expanding the secondary water system including, but not limited to, the discussion of the bonding scenarios for the construction of additional water system improvements

Manager Warnke said Director Roberts will address the fee that is needed to meet the 125% debt service for the bonds, while Director Fulgham will talk about the different scenarios. Director Fulgham said these are the same scenarios we talked about last time, but with the updated cost estimates. Scenario one would be for Service Area 5. The previous estimate was four years old and increased from $2.8 million to $3.6 million for today’s prices. That would also include Service Area 4, which would have the pump station by the South Stake Center and the proposed new growth. It would also include the Service Area 2 expansion bringing secondary water throughout the Harris Subdivision and Matheson Apartment Complex. This would also help with meter replacement for about 2,000 culinary meters ($700,000). The total for that scenario is $4.9 million. The other scenario is all of that plus Service Area 9 on the east end of town and would include the proposed annexation. Originally that estimate was $900,000, but today it will cost $1.4 million. The project total would be $6.4 million to do it all. If you want to go with scenario one, we could wait for growth to happen and then do Service Area 9 at a future date. Some of that cost would be absorbed by future development costs, plus we would know where roads would and would not have to have easements across there. I recommend we go with scenario one, but if we were to bond a bit more, we could include some of the other projects and free up money so when Service Area 9 comes about, we could have money in the reserves and not have to bond.

When asked how usage has changed as residents have gone from culinary to secondary, Director Roberts said not much. Some went up and some went down, it is about sixes. We went through the assumptions to verify them with the actual data and it is about a one to one ratio. Any additional revenue in secondary will result in a loss of revenue on the culinary side. It will wash itself out. The water rates in culinary are a little bit higher so the loss will be a little larger because we are charging less for secondary. When asked about timing for scenario one, Director Fulgham said if we could get it out to bid we could have it done by the second irrigation season.

Mr. Alex Buxton said based on the new projected amounts, the first bond scenario is $5,041,000. The project construction fund is $4,990,870 and we are estimating a $50,000 cost of issuance. The annual bond payment is roughly $385,000 using a 15-year term. We can do 20 years, but 15 years is a sweet spot as far as getting the most potential purchasers interested. We ran the interest at 1.89%. The problem with these projections is that we have to estimate that interest, which we will not know until we issue the bond and lock in a rate. We do try to be conservative on the numbers. If we are looking at a 1.25 times debt coverage for that amount, we will need to be able to show that the City is generating at least $487,000. Director Roberts said we are not earning that right now. The fact of the matter is we have nearly 3,000 users overall in this water system. Among those users we have to generate $487,000, which comes out to $162.50 per year per user. We are running tight on our margin right now and in order to drive that interest rate as low as possible my recommendation would be a rate increase of $13.50 a month. The easiest thing to do and guarantee we generate that much revenue is to increase the base fee per month. Just doing a change to water rates for what is actually used has variability due to weather and minimizes your guarantee.

Councilmember Vance asked about audits after the bond has been issued. Director Roberts reminded the Council that he was appointed as the trustee on their current bond and would help them with that process. Councilmember Holmgren asked how we expect the user revenue to come into play on this. We have the $13.50 base rate, but there is also the usage. Director Roberts said based off the initial work we did in comparing the users who switched from culinary to secondary and have a meter, we have not seen a change in their behavior as far as what they are using. I expect a one to one transition. The additional revenue would be fairly small. Director Fulgham said if we bond we have to have an additional $13.50 per user each month. The only thing that is not calculated in is when new users come on. We cannot anticipate that to help with the bond payment because we do not know how that is going to play out. That could help in the future and possibly drop the rate if growth happens. Director Roberts said new users help provide the cash flow so we may not have to bond for as much, if at all, for Service Area 9. I propose we use that to generate cash flow for additional projects to minimize bonding in the future.

3. Review of items listed on the 7:00 p.m. agenda

Manager Warnke gave an overview of the annexation of 67 acres south of Rocket Road. There are three items on the agenda. First it is recommended that the Council adopt a pre-annexation agreement, which outlines all the unique infrastructure and improvements. The other action item is the ordinance itself, which annexes the property and sets the zoning. Finally there is the matter of procedure where we amend our articles of incorporation, which is the notice we send to the Lt. Governor’s Officer, who recognizes we have annexed the property. The City will continue the trail corridor and there will be a storm drain detention basin and park. Our master plan shows we need a certain amount of storage for a regional basin (6.2 acres). This represented about 3.1 acres of storage and the remaining area will be park space. We will reimburse Mr. Jay Stocking for the water shares and the land associated with the storm drain, through impact fees so we are not putting any money out in cash. The Planning Commission reviewed the zoning request, which included rezoning property owned by Shawn Kerby and is already in the City limits. Mr. Stocking plans to swap land with him, but before entitling the property to have more development rights, I suggest we do not do that at this point. The pre-annexation agreement says if Mr. Stocking acquires the property he will dedicate the trail portion that is part of Mr. Kerby’s property and that the City will be granted additional road right-of-way on Rocket Road.

Manager Warnke then discussed the streets around this development. Rocket Road is planned to be a minor arterial road, which is an 80-foot right-of-way. In some areas it is going to be constrained by existing development, but we do believe we should continue to acquire as much right-of-way as possible. 100 East is a collector, while 300 West is residential road. For zoning, everything on the west side of the canal is R1-8 and everything on the east side, minus the property that will be dedicated to the City, is R1-16. The architectural renderings they did for their development in Logan have been put in the pre-annexation agreement. They will use higher quality materials like masonry and glazing, and change articulation in the roofline. We have tried to formalize all that in the pre-annexation agreement with some flexibility. They will also front the elevations toward the street to give our streetscape a nice presence. From a density perspective, I think it is a good location for a lot of reasons including the road network, the trail as an alternative route, the park and open space, as well as the church and cemetery locations, which are less dense. I feel it is a good place to add density.

Councilmember Rohde asked if the City will be able to meet the requested requirements of the canal company for the trail. Manager Warnke said I believe so. What we are proposing and what they are proposing is not mutually exclusive. We own the property, but we want to respect their easement and them as a service provider and partner. They want a service agreement, which lessens liability. The worse case is that we would not have a paved trail, which is not ideal since this is an alterative transportation corridor. We want to make sure it is not destroyed in their maintenance efforts. I think we will come to an agreement.

Manager Warnke then went over the anticipated revenue and expenses for this area. City Engineer Chris Breinholt created an engineer’s estimate that shows the infrastructure the City would be responsible for building. Revenues are impact fees and developers’ contribution. If we did a trial we would need $135,000. I think there are good opportunities for grants. The park improvements are $858,000 and the difference between the impact fees anticipated, based on density, is $300,000. For the storm drain we are short $75,000. That does not include upsizing, which is the City’s responsibility. There is no commitment or obligation to the City to develop it at any certain date, but there will be obligation for the City to develop the storm drain basin as development occurs.

The meeting adjourned at 7 p.m. by consensus of the Council.

7. Public comments: There were no public comments.

Mayor Fridal called a Public Hearing to order at 7:10 p.m. to consider amending the budget. There were 11 people in attendance.

8. Public Hearings:

a. To consider amending the Budget entitled “The Tremonton City Annual Implementation Budget 2020-2021 General Fund, Special Fund(s), Capital Fund(s), and Enterprise Fund(s)” for the period commencing July 1, 2020, and ending June 30, 2021

Director Christensen said these are the amendments that have happened since the budget in June. In the General Fund we have three Meals on Wheels drivers, but due to people staying home, their numbers have increased quite a bit. BRAG is paying for a new vehicle, but we need a fourth driver, which costs about $10,000 a year. BRAG has also given us money for that. The police did not receive a grant we had budgeted for to get another officer so we are going to take $66,000 out for that. They did receive private donations for protective gear ($4,200). When the library was closed their outdoor book drop was heavily used and got broke, along with some DVDs and CDs. They are going to buy a new one and will use COVID funding for that. The Food Pantry received a grant from the County to buy a trailer for their pick-ups. Fire and EMS received a $51,000 grant to help pay for an ambulance. They have carefully noted a lot of their Cares funding money, about $34,000 worth of expenses. The Council also talked about the pay grade increase for the fire chief position so there is the difference. We will put $75,000 out of the Cares money in the General Fund and upgrade the Senior Center kitchen. It will come out of the General Fund instead of the Capital Projects Fund. We have some money in Capital Projects for an officer who was going to be overseas for military service, but is staying so they need an extra vehicle. We can take that out of the fund balance and we need a fire vehicle for the new fire chief that will be hired on. For the Treatment Plant instead of rebuilding a 17-year-old screen they plan to purchase a new one for $100,000 from our reserves.

There were no public comments. Mayor Fridal closed the Public Hearing at 7:15 p.m.

Mayor Fridal called a Public Hearing to order at 7:15 p.m. to consider an annexation of property. There were six people in attendance.

b. To consider annexing 67.57 acres of real property into Tremonton City’s incorporated limits. The 67.57 acres of real property proposed for annexation includes tax parcel numbers 05-200-0001 and 05-200-0004, and portions of tax parcel numbers 05-200-0013, and 05-200-0018. These parcels are located south of 1200 South (Rocket Road), north of Interstate 15 between 100 East and 300 West

Councilmember Rohde said during the Planning Commission’s public comment a resident was concerned about roads and how busy it is going to get down there, but I feel that has been addressed.

Director Roberts clarified some of the budget items. With government accounting each fund has its own set of books. In the General Fund we are going to use an additional $70,000 of the fund balance. We have the resources, but it is lowered by $70,000. The Food Panty is a wash—their revenues equal their expense. The bottom line for the fire and EMS is positive because we got grant funding for the ambulance. We do have some additional wages, but the effect is actually positive $55,000. For the new vehicles we are using fund balance we already set aside. The bottom line is $100,000, but we are using our fund balance. It is the same scenario for the Treatment Plant expense. We are asking for about $25,000 more spending authorization in the General Fund. We do have the resources to pay for it so we are not jeopardizing the City’s position. About $325,000 more spending authorization is what we are looking for overall. Manager Warnke explained we usually do not budget grant revenue we have not earned or been promised, but in this case we were anticipating that we would receive it. We put in an application for a cops grant. Since that did not come through and we already made the decision to fund that position you are amending the budget. We planned to expend it even if we had not received the grant.

There were no public comments. Mayor Fridal closed the Public Hearing at 7:23 p.m.

Motion by Councilmember Archibald to adopt the resolution. Motion seconded by Councilmember Vance. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Archibald – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Seamons – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

h. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 20-42, repealing Resolution No. 18-09, and approving an amended Template Subdivision Development Agreement

Manager Warnke said over the years we have used this template and amended it as needs exist. One of the proposed amendments we are suggesting to the Council is a remedy for non-compliance. The development agreement requires developers to make public improvements in order to get building permits. Sometimes an item or two does not get finish and it can be hard to get them to do that. We do have a public guarantee in the form of a bond, but that is the worse case scenario. This term would require them to come into compliance on remaining items before we approve additional subdivisions and building permits. It is a limited issue, but it is one that continues from time to time. This would be a tool to allow us to remedy it without having to pull the bond. We are pretty forgiving and work through issues.

Motion by Councilmember Vance to adopt the resolution. Motion seconded by Councilmember Rohde. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Archibald – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Seamons – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

i. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 20-43 ratifying the Archibald Estates Plat “J” Subdivision Development Agreement

Manager Warnke said as we talk about these agreements refer to the special conditions section. We are getting larger developments so some of these approvals require more complexity and specificity, which is included in the special conditions. This helps to formalize what the obligations are and what needs to be done. Councilmember Rohde asked if the developers are okay with this. Manager Warnke said it protects them too in a lot of ways. The City initiates the agreements, but this formalizes their interests as well.

Motion by Councilmember Holmgren to adopt the resolution. Motion seconded by Councilmember Seamons. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Archibald – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Seamons – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

j. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 20-44 ratifying the Matheson Apartments Development Agreement

Manager Warnke said this development has changed over the years as far as the configuration. We vacated the road at 650 West into Sandalwood Acres so we changed the outlet to Tremonton Place to line up with the new road (600 West). When the RDA worked through that change with the developer of Tremonton Place we came to an agreement that they would make that connection. That it would be a through access with sufficient cueing distances and would be unimpeded by parking islands. We are trying to create a corridor from that intersection all the way back to the apartment complex. We spent a lot of time talking to Wasatch Development about that issue and their position is that it is Tremonton Center LLC’s responsibility to construct that and their responsibility is to make that connection into their development. Tremonton Center LLC agreed they were responsible, but they have six to seven years to make that connection. They left flexibly to formalize that. Tremonton Center LLC told them where to leave room within their site to have that connection made.

Motion by Councilmember Holmgren to adopt the resolution. Motion seconded by Councilmember Archibald. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Archibald – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Seamons – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

k. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 20-45 approving a real estate purchase agreement between Tremonton City and Liljenstolpe Family Trust for Tremonton City’s acquisition of a portion of parcel number 05-168-0072 comprising 85 square feet

Director Fulgham said this is in the northwest corner of the Matheson apartment property. We have a detention basin northwest of there that would tie into that area. Councilmember Rohde asked if they are thinking about making that a walkway into the Matheson apartments. Director Fulgham said yes so kids can get to school without having to go out and around. This will also be a means to where we bring secondary water into there without having to go all the way around.

Motion by Councilmember Archibald to adopt the resolution. Motion seconded by Councilmember Rohde. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Archibald – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Seamons – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

l. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 20-46 approving a real estate purchase agreement between Tremonton City & William Dennis Winn and Rebecca Lynn Winn for Tremonton City’s acquisition of a portion of parcel number 05-237-0001 comprising 406 square feet

Motion by Councilmember Archibald to adopt the resolution. Motion seconded by Councilmember Vance. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Archibald – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Seamons – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved

b. Review of past assignment: none

11. Reports & Comments:

a. City Manager Reports and Comments

1. Update on Fire Department Calls for Calendar Year 2020

Manager Warnke said I did not include this, but we are tracking consistent to last year as far as total call volume. Fire is a little bit ahead.

I have been in contact with Craig Adams and Councilmember Holmgren about annexing 120 acres. We should see a petition to annex within a few days. There is a storm drain and park planned there as well.

b. Development Review Committee Report and Comments

1. Request for the Fire Department to do a controlled burn at 267 W Main Street- Steve Batis, Fire Chief or Shawn Warnke, City Manager

Manager Warnke said there has been a request for a controlled burn at 267 West Main for an agricultural building. The property owner wants to clear that for redevelopment and requested the fire department do that. It is a pretty big building. Councilmember Rohde said we would need to coordinate with the railroad before we do that. The Council agreed.

c. City Department Head Reports and Comments

1. Report on a home located at 875 North 300 East to remain connected to Tremonton City’s sewer collection system

Director Fulgham said this is a Tremonton address, but the home is in Garland City. When Garland redid their sewer system they were able to take in the school property, but to get the depth this resident needed, there was no way they could make it function. She is currently hooked to the old line from Garland that ties into Tremonton City. She is having problems with her collection system. It is an old clay tile line that was installed in the 30s. She needs to replace her line, but she has a long way to run and has to deal with UDOT to make that connection and repair. She wondered if there is anyway she could hook to Tremonton City. She could connect onto 800 North, which is a shorter distance, but the problem is she is a property tax payer of Garland. She has the potential to de-annex from Garland and then annex into Tremonton, but that is something she has to work out with Garland. The cost just to annex is roughly $1,100. Manager Warnke and I have discussed this with our attorney and we are having a simple agreement written up that she can take to Garland City to opt them out of providing her with sewer service and give her the right to hook to our sewer. It would all be at her expense. Councilmember Rohde said it makes sense to take care of the annexation so we do not have to clean up her lateral. Manager Warnke said she needs to take the lead and work with Garland on this issue, but City staff would be willing to work something out.
