CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP
Mayor Fridal called the June 16, 2020 City Council Workshop to order at 5:31 p.m. The meeting was held in the City Council Meeting Room at 102 South Tremont Street, Tremonton, Utah. Those in attendance were Mayor Fridal, Councilmembers Archibald, Holmgren, Rohde, Seamons, and Vance, City Manager Warnke, and City Recorder Nessen. The following Department Heads were also present: Community Services Director Marc Christensen, Public Works Director Paul Fulgham, Police Chief Kurt Fertig, and Treasurer Sharri Oyler (arrived at 5:37 p.m.).
1. Proposal to annex property 34.31 acres at approximately 10100 North 6800 West (Iowa String), which proposal includes requesting of amending the land use code for the allowance for subdividing with septic tanks and reduce water shares for large lot subdivisions – Gary Madsen, Bear River Development; Shawn Warnke, City Manager; and Paul Fulgham, Public Works Director
Developer Gary Madsen said I could either annex into the City or stay in the County and be on West Corinne water, but as a citizen I feel this property should be in Tremonton because in the future that is where growth will go. I would annex if things could be changed to work for all of us. The sewer system stops at the underpass and there is no way to gravity feed that back to Rocket Road. A lift station will be required long-term. The cost of a lift station is $300,000 to $500,000 and a developer of my size cannot afford to do that. Do we just not grow in that area or wait until there is a developer with deep enough pockets? If so, they would be smaller lots. Originally I was thinking of doing acre and a half lots, but if I were to annex into the City I would do one-acre lots with septic tanks. The other issue I have with developing there is the rules on water shares. I understand the City’s plight and need to implement that system. The City needs to extract some water shares from developers as you go, but I do believe there is a limit on what is appropriate to extract. It should only be 1/3 of the share per building lot. If I developed acre lots and the City takes all that water from me, then the buyers would be stuck with a culinary tap and nothing to water their acreage. They would have no secondary and until it is there, they have no way to water their ground. A portion of it needs to stay with the owner of the lots so they have the ability to irrigate pasture. I would like to annex, but I need to be able to build with septic tanks and have to have some concessions on those water shares or it does not work for me. The City has been good to work with in the past and I am thrilled with the relationships I have with the City and Council. If it works for all of us, it is a great solution and the best thing for the City. If not, that is okay too.
Manager Warnke said I would love to see this property developed in the City, but for us, it is an infrastructure and timing issue. We are not just talking about this development we are talking about a change of policy and how that affects development going forward within the City. Do we annex property and create a provision in the code that applies on a limited basis or do we create a policy that applies to a lot of area within the City. If no one is developing, the infrastructure will never be developed. At some point there would be a deficiency the City is responsible for. That is the concern with allowing property to be developed that does not have the infrastructure needed to service development. If we are not requiring it through development then how are we going to require it in the future? How do we create a policy that does not have such large ramifications? Ultimately we need a pump station on the other side of the interstate. The Council has adopted a resolution that programed funds for an upgrade to a sewer main on Main Street. Director Fulgham said that is an upgrade that has been needed for growth in east Tremonton and is upsizing from a 10-inch line to a 12-inch and modernizing it to PVC. I am not opposed to septic tanks, but my biggest concern is that it opens up more development outside of where we have utilities because people want our water. Septic tanks do fail and have issues. When that happens, the Division of Water Quality comes to the sewer authority, which is Tremonton, and says this is annexed into your corporate limits so you will fix the problem. Septic tanks in general are not bad as long as the ground handles them and they function properly.
Director Fulgham asked how they would irrigate small acreage out of the canal. Do they put a pipe in and each get a turn? Mr. Madsen said they would have to coordinate with their neighbors. Director Fulgham said some of that could be worked out through water rates. Those with secondary have a different rate and that could be worked out if they want to water with a secondary source.
Councilmember Vance said there are two different issues we are talking about—septic tanks as well as secondary water and exacting those shares. We have to keep them separate. The City could get in trouble for not being consistent. It would be good to come up with some type of a policy to allow septic tanks. The City could be responsible down the road so there has to be ways we can set parameters upfront. Director Fulgham said if you are more than 300 feet from the sewer system you could have a septic tank. The Council adopted a policy that allows one building lot with a septic system per four-acre development. That was to help limit the concentration of septic tanks within the City. When asked what the health department recommends Mr. Madsen said if you have a culinary water source and you are not on a well they will allow a septic tank on a half acre if it passes a the perc test. If you do not have a culinary source then it is five acres. Director Fulgham said the County issues the septic tank permit and they do inspect those. A perc test would be done prior to issuing a building permit. Manager Warnke said this one development is not a big issue, but when we start thinking about the amount of area that is available for development, that becomes a concern. How much do we go in reverse on the standards we have in place in order to allow development to occur on the outskirts of town? Typically development patterns grow from the core because the utilities are there. With this we are going to areas where land is cheaper and there is not infrastructure. The other issue is impact fees. Do we change those with this development? There is not only the collection system, but also the wastewater treatment portion. The best time to collect that money is when someone is issued a building permit because they have the funds available and it is wrapped in their loan. Going back and asking for $2,000 is an issue plus you are digging up people’s yards to put the lateral in.
Councilmember Vance asked why we don’t set policy so we are not in that problem in the future. I think it is an opportunity for growth and diverse housing for Tremonton. Manager Warnke said eventually we are going to need a pump station on the south side of the City. It is a timing issue. The long-term plan is to create Commerce Way, which is a bypass road. That would cure a lot of future issues with getting people off Iowa String and on the interstate. It also provides a lot of opportunity for commercial and industrial development. That is an area of promise for the City and the long-term plan is to have utilities in that area so we can grow in a meaningful way and turn it into a commercial corridor. Councilmember Rohde said we want to go that way eventually, so why could we not find a way to make it work so we can start some annexation now? We ought to remove as many hurdles as we can. I want to see us get land where we can develop bigger lots and have animal rights. We need that in our City.
Councilmember Holmgren said we want these larger lots yet we are not making it cost effective for them to use secondary water. We have this dilemma, but secondary water should be used on pasture. We would have to work out a deal that they could use that water until secondary is available. It makes sense to have secondary water on larger lots. Director Fulgham said then we would come up with a rate. Right now the rate is based on a three-quarter inch line, but maybe we would develop a different base rate for a two-inch. We could determine how long before we put secondary in and work something out with those homeowners and the shares they have. The shares would belong to the City, but they could be theirs until we get the secondary system in. Manager Warnke said when we exact water shares that allows people to have a culinary connection. We are developing a secondary system to take homes off the culinary system. We want to put those shares to the most beneficial use in our system to create capacity for additional culinary connections. Director Fulgham said I see that, but we would take this portion held in reserve for them to use for the pasture and this portion would be in our system so they could use culinary to water around their home.
Director Fulgham said we have an ordinance that allows septic tanks on a four-acre parcel within the City. That limits how many times you can break that property down from the original parcel. You cannot break it down any further than four acres and still have a septic tank. We were trying to make it work, but did not want a concentration of septic tanks. Councilmember Vance said it would be a good idea to have a consistent policy so when people read it they know what we want as a City. Manager Warnke said if you change the ordinance you will see pockets of development patterns that would be disjointed. Whether you zone for large lots or not people are going to come back and ask for smaller lots and it will get denser. That is where you start to get problems. There would be no continuity and we would have islands of undeveloped areas. How would we reasonably afford and provide infrastructure in that scenario? It will create deficiencies and that is where the City will run into problems with growth. We would not have services where they need to be.
Councilmember Rohde said can we zone that area for one acre lots and larger. It seems like we could cover all of that under a zoning code. Manager Warnke said the Council can do that, but eventually we are going to have some of the things I just mentioned. It will be harder to develop those areas where we have pockets that are less dense. People are going to want to rezone the property to more dense. It is a timing issue and I wish we had more money to extend infrastructure. Councilmember Seamons said we could zone that area for one-acre lots and when someone wants to rezone they could not because there would be no service there. People would have to follow that ordinance unless it was changed. The pump station will eventually go in so why not just say that when he does this subdivision they design that sewer system with a connection to the homes. That way when the City brings it down the road they just tie in. Director Fulgham said the downside to that is the grade and where do you lay that sewer line.
Councilmember Rohde said I would like to see us say this is a zone for the development of larger lots and homes and it will stay that way. Manager Warnke said we would just have a deficient subdivision that the City would be responsible to bring up to standard at some point—that is the issue. There are a lot of areas like this and you start creating this development pattern that is dangerous in terms of smart growth and trying to extend infrastructure and provide services. Councilmember Vance said there are benefits to the City and we need to keep in mind that there is future liability, but there has to be ways to control that. Manager Warnke said sometimes you allow development to occur in areas that are high value in the future, but not high value now. In my mind it would be a mistake to do a lot of larger lots on that south side of the interstate. That area holds great promise for the City. To have it fill up with one-acre lots would have us miss out on the opportunity for commercial development.
Councilmember Holmgren said it seems like the issue really boils down to sewer. We would be putting in septic tanks and then setting the City up for liability down the road. Are there opportunities for funding for a lift station or things we can do to help a larger area not just this subdivision? It is a system improvement so can we work through that? I would feel tons better about this if this were a subdivision that was putting in all the improvements like the sewer lines and then we can work on secondary water, too. Director Fulgham said the problem is coming up with the money to put the system in.
Mayor Fridal said I really like this plan. We need diversity and this is an opportunity to get a little different look instead of the same third acre lots. Where do we go from here? Could we present this to the Planning Commission and let them come back with ideas so we have more options? Councilmember Holmgren said we could, but we ought to give them some direction. Councilmember Archibald said Mr. Madsen is a great citizen and has good intent to offer the community something great, but it is important that things are consistent and our timing is correct. We have to be able to afford it. I do not think we have done the research and there will be a whole bunch of people coming in with different things they want to do—all with great things in mind for our beautiful City. I am not sure we have resolutions and ordinances in place so we can be fair with everybody. We need to have the education and reasons behind our ordinances and resolutions. Councilmember Vance said we cannot be the only community facing this. We need to find out what policies those who have already dealt with this have. Manager Warnke said the Council can do this, but is that the growth pattern you want? I think it is going to create areas that are undeveloped and there will be interruptions in service. There will be areas that are more expensive to develop. Councilmember Rohde said we do not have a policy to allow for these kinds of homes. We need to adopt something.
The Council agreed to send this to the Planning Commission for their advice. Mr. Madsen said timing is relevant. I am not in a position to wait long-term and I would not wait for a lift station. What are your thoughts on the secondary system? Councilmember Holmgren said we are not established to deal with larger acreage in terms of running it through a system for larger lots. We need time to work out how that water is exacted and how much. Mr. Madsen said regardless of if we move forward with my development or not, that is a discussion the Council should have because people will come in with bigger lots and your current ordinance says they have to give it up.

8. Public Hearings:
Mayor Fridal called a Public Hearing to order at 7:10 p.m. to consider adopting the final annual budget for 2020-2021. There were six people in attendance.
a. To consider adopting the Final Annual Budget entitled “The Tremonton City Annual Implementation Budget 2020-2021 (General Fund, Capital Fund(s), Enterprise Fund(s), and Special Fund(s)”, for the period commencing July 1, 2020, and ending June 30, 2021
Coordinator Christensen said we added the full-time police officer and full-time fire chief. We have adjusted some of the revenues to help with that. Previously we discussed a grant for new vehicles for the food pantry and senior center. Those will not be purchased in our current fiscal year so it is money in and money out. There are also some projects for the treatment plant. Manager Warnke said the project is going to be done this fiscal year, but there will be a warranty period to retain 5% of the actual expense that is owed to the contractor. Chief Fertig has submitted a grant for a police officer, but we do not know the outcome yet and need to wait to see what that is before we go through the hiring process. The budget anticipates us receiving that grant and if we do not then we would need to revisit it.
Manager Warnke said on the next hearing we are amending the budget. The amendments represent actuals instead of estimates. When we create a budget there are estimates that are higher than our actual revenues and some amendments are proposed as a safe guard since we do not always know exactly how close we are to the appropriation. The biggest issue here, as it relates to the Council, is the allocation of the fund balance. Right now the General Fund has about $750,000 revenue over expense. Our expenses have been lower and our revenues have been higher, and we have not seen a slow down for COVID related issues. Essentially this resolution proposes that 50% of the surplus goes to Fund 71—the RDA Downtown to undertake projects. Then 25% would go to the Transportation Capacity Fund. There are several transportation projects on the horizon and we are actively working on others. The rest is split at about 6.25% for various funds (about $50,000). Councilmember Vance asked what the $179,000 to the Recreation fund is? Manager Warnke said we removed recreation from the General Fund and created a Special Revenue Fund. For the most part, the program fees pay for themselves, but they do not pay for the administration costs.
There were no public comments. Mayor Fridal closed the Public Hearing at 7:17 p.m.
Mayor Fridal called a Public Hearing to order at 7:18 p.m. to consider amending the annual budget for 2019-2020. There were six people in attendance.
b. To consider amending the Annual Budget entitled “The Tremonton City Annual Implementation Budget 2019-2020 (General Fund, Capital Fund(s), Enterprise Fund(s), and Special Fund(s)”, for the period commencing July 1, 2019, and ending June 30, 2020
There were no public comments. Mayor Fridal closed the Public Hearing at 7:18 p.m.
9. New Council Business:
a. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 20-21 adopting the Final Budget entitled “The Tremonton Annual Implementation Budget 2020-2021 (General Fund, Capital Fund(s), Enterprise Fund(s) and Special Fund(s)” for the period commencing July 1, 2020, and ending June 30, 2021
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.
b. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 20-22 approving the revised Tremonton City Compensation and Classification Plan
Manager Warnke said we adjusted our compensation plan to reflect COLA and also programmed the fire chief as a full-time salary. That is now reflected in the compensation plan that essentially follows the salary survey Recorder Nessen did. We show both part-time and full-time so when we hire full-time it will transition to that pay range. COLA is 2% and there is a 1% merit increase.
Motion by Councilmember Archibald to approve 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.
c. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 20-23 amending the budget entitled “The Tremonton City Annual Implementation Budget 2019- 2020 (General Fund, Capital Fund(s), Enterprise Fund(s), and Special Fund(s),” for the period commencing July 1, 2019, and ending June 30, 2020
Motion by Councilmember Vance to adopt the resolution. Motion seconded by Councilmember Holmgren. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Archibald – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Seamons – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.
d. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 20-24 approving the certified tax rates for the 2020 tax year
Councilmember Vance confirmed the City is holding with what the County calculated.
Motion by Councilmember Vance 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.
e. Discussion and consideration of approving Resolution No 20-25 authorizing the write-off of uncollectible accounts receivable for utility billings for FY 2020 in the Enterprise Funds
Motion by Councilmember Archibald to approve 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.
f. Discussion and consideration of approving Resolution No 20-26 authorizing the write-off uncollectible accounts receivable for ambulance billings for FY 2020 in Fund 28 Fire Department
Councilmember Holmgren said $112,000 is a lot of money. Treasurer Oyler said after I send it to collections we wait a year and usually do not get anything. This is a typical year, maybe a little bit higher.
Motion by Councilmember Holmgren to approve 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.
g. Discussion and consideration of approving Resolution No. 20-27 approving a real estate purchase agreement between Tremonton City and Valley View Granite for Valley View Granite’s acquisition of parcel number 05-054-0118 comprising approximately 4.65 acres located at 945 North 2000 West in Tremonton, Utah
Motion by Councilmember Archibald to approve the resolution. Motion seconded by Councilmember Holmgren. 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 approving Resolution No. 20-28 approving the Aspen Ridge, Phase 1 Development Agreement
Manager Warnke said there are quite a few special conditions here and we try to formalize the unique elements of a development. There are some upsizing in infrastructure from sidewalks and trail frontage on 1200 South (Rocket Road), as well as upsizes for secondary water as we plan on servicing the property to the north.
Motion by Councilmember Archibald to approve 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.
i. Discussion and consideration of approving Resolution No. 20-29 approving the Tremont Place, Phase 2 Development Agreement
Manager Warnke said these are pretty standard special conditions. This is the same developer that is doing Aspen Ridge.
Motion by Councilmember Holmgren 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.

a. Review of calendar
June 17 is a Meet the Candidates Night for the County Commission here at 7 p.m., which will be broadcasted.
Officer Todd Hunsaker is retiring and his party will be on June 17 from 10 a.m., until noon. Chief Fertig said he has been in law enforcement for 26 years and 22 of those have been with Tremonton.
Coordinator Christensen addressed City Days. He said June 15 was our next deadline and we are still in the low-risk yellow phase. We plan to do some participant only events, not spectator events. The Men’s Softball Tourney will be July 17 and 18, along with the Homerun Derby. A Kickball Tourney will be on July 23. A Drive-in Movie will be on Monday July 20, at dusk. Saturday, July 25, we have planned backyard games at the park—corn hole and bingo. There will also be fireworks. We are pushing a couple virtual events, including a Car Show and 5K. People will be able to submit car photos and vote online. They will have the week to do the run and submit their times. There will also be a Goose Chase, like a scavenger hunt, through an app. Businesses will provide prizes. Procter and Gamble will donate a year’s supply of toilet paper and paper towels. We could also do a City Council parade. Not sure if we should throw candy, but you would go through the neighborhoods honking and saying hi. The Dutch Oven Barbecue Contest will also be on Saturday, July 25. They setup in the morning and we judge about 5 p.m. The Council can be the judges. Everything has been moved to Jeanie Stevens Park.
Chief Fertig said we need to form a softball team for Garland’s Wheat and Beet Days. The softball game will be on Saturday, July 11, at 6 p.m., Tremonton versus Garland.

b. Development Review Committee Report and Comments
1. Update on the status of land use applications
Manager Warnke said the information is in your packet.
c. City Department Head Reports and Comments
1. Update on the status of Tremonton City Days
This item was discussed during the calendar item portion of the meeting.
2. Director Fulgham said I sent out the COVID study’s first initial report. On page four it talks about Hyrum and Logan and you can see the uptick there, which goes back to the meat-packing place in Hyrum. It grew exponentially. This looks at traces of COVID and the influence of the wastewater treatment facility. Where it is discharged into the rivers they have found no traces so it is consumed within the treatment process and no viruses are leaving the facilities. They are looking at what is coming in. Here it talks about Tremonton and we have a pretty low infection rate. Friday afternoon I got a call from the Division of Water Quality and in these last set of samples Tremonton had an uptick, but some of that was bleed over from Logan into Tremonton. They have asked us to continue on and instead of once a week they want to do twice a week. This is the study we are participating in with 10 different treatment facilities.
d. Council Reports and Comments
Councilmember Holmgren said I am on a County Economic Development committee, which has a couple hundred thousand dollars available for different projects in Box Elder County through a grant. There is not enough for a lift station, but it might be enough to get some help.
Councilmember Archibald said I am on a United Way committee and they wondered how they could help our community so I gave them Cathy Newman’s number from the food pantry. That connection was made and hopefully United Way will be able to assist the food pantry in the coming year.
Mayor Fridal said I appreciate you guys and your efforts.
