Councilman Nakayu stated that in Item #2, Council member Cordova was included as voting in the approval of the consent agenda. Council member Cordova was excused from that meeting. Mayor Burnett stated that his name has been struck from the voting.

Council member Becraft moved to approve the minutes of February 6, 2001, as amended on Item #2. Council member Tafoya seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Nakayu, Tafoya and Cordova voted "aye." The motion carried.

Items A and B were pulled.
Councilman Cordova moved to approve the Consent Agenda consisting of Item C. Council member Becraft seconded the motion. Councilman Becraft, Nakayu, Cordova and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

Council member Cordova stated that it was not clear as to which lot was being referred to--Lot 9 or Lot 6. They were not marked on any of the three maps. Mark Larson stated that the property adjustment added 13 more feet in the back of Lot 1. Five feet was added to the East of Lot 9.

Steve Anderson, the proponent, stated that when the house was built in 1980 on Lot 1, the fence line was placed where the new lot line will go. Rather than trying to disturb the occupants and take out landscaping, it was agreed to deed the piece of property to the fence line to the current owners.

Council member Becraft asked on which lot the house would be demolished. Mark Larson stated that on the undeveloped portion of Lot 6, the garage would be torn down so as not to create a nonconforming lot.

Mayor Burnett asked where the tower would be in Item A. City Attorney Davis stated that these towers would be almost parallel to the East side of the recreation building. Mayor Burnett asked if there was a limitation on the height of the tower. Mark Larson stated that it could not be higher than the closest home is horizontally. There are no adjacent homes to the proposed tower.

Council member Cordova moved to approve Items A and B on the Consent Agenda. Council member Tafoya seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Nakayu, Cordova, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

Blake Wahlen stated that two weeks ago at the City Council meeting, the idea was presented that the school district was requesting a sewer for the new elementary school on 5500 South. Mayor Bailey of Hooper wrote a letter agreeing to work with the school district and Roy City in providing that sewer. It is recommended that the City Council allow the school district to hook to the city's sanitary sewer on 4300 West, and that the school district come up with a safe routing plan for the safety of the children arriving at the school. Mr. Wahlen stated that 90% of the children attending this school will be from Roy.

Mayor Burnett asked if there were improved sidewalks on 5500 South. Blake Wahlen stated that there were, but not west of 4300 West.

Council member Becraft asked if a developer normally put curb and gutter sidewalks outside of the developmental area. Mr. Wahlen stated that they could. Everything that is being discussed is outside of Roy City limits. It would not be a requirement that they hook onto our sewer, but it would be our recommendation that they do this for the safety of the children.

Council member Cordova moved to allow the school district to hook to the city's sanitary sewer on 4300 West and that the school district come up with a safe routing plan for the safety of our children arriving at the school. Council member Tafoya seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Nakayu, Cordova, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

Mayor Burnett stated that there is a meeting on March 15 at 11:00 a.m. to discuss with Weber County and Hooper concerning these issues.

Tom Hanson stated that the request for proposal to the architects were sent out. Nine were sent back, and 4 were reviewed. Out of these 4, there were 3 firms considered: ASWN, Blake McCutcheon, and MGB&A. ASWN came with great history in building parks, and have a long track record of successful parks. They are well qualified to do an outstanding job. Mr. Hanson stated that they were at the top of the list. They have a very good team to work with, and put a lot of effort into creating a basic schematic of how the park could look.

Mr. Hanson stated that Blake McCutcheon is a firm that doesn't have the track record of ASWN. They have done some good leisure parks, including the Olympic Plaza in Park City, but they don't have a lot of history in building active use parks. They would, however, be well qualified to do the work.

MGB&A is a long-time architectural resident of Utah. They have done many wonderful things in Utah, and have made significant contributions to architecture in this area. They didn't come to the interviews as prepared as the others, even though their bid was lower than the other two.

Between ASWN and Blake McCutcheon, there is an $11,000 difference in cost, with AWSN being the higher of the two. The bid from Blake McCutcheon was not to exceed $52,000. AWSN has indicated that their bid of $63,500 is open for further negotiation in case additional work is needed. Tom Hanson recommended that the firm of Blake McCutcheon be awarded the contract to design the new park. He didn't feel that going with AWSN would give that much more value, and that the extra $11,000 would be valuable to use for things in the park.

Councilman Cordova asked Mr. Hanson if he had seen the Olympic Plaza in Park City that was designed by Blake McCutcheon's firm. Mr. Hanson stated that he had not, but saw the pictures. Blake McCutcheon's firm was the winner of a contest by Park City to design this Plaza. There are no straight lines in the Plaza--everything is based on a serpentine configuration.

Councilwoman Becraft asked when the park would be completed. Blake Wahlen stated that there is $500,000 dollars in the budget to begin grading, and will be completed in 2 to 3 phases. The intent is to have the bid out by the end of April. The money spent on this park is restricted money and has to be spent on new parks.

Councilman Tafoya moved to award Blake McCutcheon the contract to complete the master plan for the construction and drawing for Southwest Park at the price of $52,060. Council member Becraft seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Nakayu, Cordova, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

Mayor Burnett asked how the cap was coming for the dump. Blake Wahlen stated that the county required a letter from the Department of Environmental Quality. After this letter is provided, an answer should be forthcoming from the county. Blake Wahlen stated that this capping could be done during any phase of the construction, whether it was Spring, Summer, or Fall.

Blake Wahlen stated that this issue was discussed two weeks ago and tonight a resolution would be considered to formalize the agreement.

Councilman Tafoya moved to pass Resolution No. 721 approving an interlocal agreement for mutual aid with Clinton City for fire protection and emergency services. Councilman Cordova seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Council members Cordova, Becraft, Tafoya, and Nakayu voted "aye." The motion carried.

Blake Wahlen stated that the Council received a memo from Cathy Spencer concerning several computers to be considered surplus property, with the idea that these be utilized by the Boy's and Girl's Club. These computers were purchased in 1995, and are outdated as far as handling new programs.

Council member Becraft asked if there were a problem with donating these without getting some kind of value. Chris Davis stated that the value would be that Roy residents would be using these computers.

Council member Cordova moved to accept the staff recommendation and declare these computers surplus and donate them to the Boy's and Girl's Club of Weber County. Council member Becraft seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Nakayu, Cordova, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

DISCUSSION REGARDING INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH CLEARFIELD FOR THE BILLING AND COLLECTION OF FEES FOR ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT SERVICES
a. RESOLUTION NO. 722 APPROVING INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH CLEARFIELD FOR THE BILLING AND COLLECTION OF FEES FOR ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT SERVICES

Chief Ritchie stated that there was information in the packet concerning the billing and collection of fees for advanced life support, which is actually the rescue truck. In order for us to get reimbursement for fees that our paramedics are charging for services in other counties, the state mandated in July of 2000 that all ambulance service interface with paramedic rescue services must have an interlocal or equivalent agreement in place when dealing with reimbursement fees. Clearfield will do the billing, and cut the check back to Roy City through our billing services, and we take a reimbursement for the services that Roy medics use. This is strictly an interlocal with Clearfield to make this legally binding that there is an interlocal in place. This will be a five year agreement. Clearfield covers Clearfield and West Point only for ambulance BLS service. Sunset is taken care of through Davis County Sheriff's department.

Council member Becraft moved to accept Resolution 722 approving an Interlocal Agreement with Clearfield for the billing and collection of fees for Advanced Life Support Services. Council member Tafoya seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Council members Tafoya, Cordova, Nakayu, and Becraft voted "aye." The motion carried.

Blake Wahlen stated that the League Meetings will be held on April 5th and 6th, and asked who would be attending. Council members Nakayu and Mayor Burnett will attend these meetings.

Mayor Burnett asked how the pool was coming. Blake Wahlen stated that it was his goal that by the next City Council meeting there would be either a yes or no on the alternative site. Mayor Burnett asked if it looked promising, and Mr. Wahlen stated that there were several obstacles, but that he didn't want to drag it on further.

Mayor Burnett stated that when he and Chris Davis went to the Legislature, they were told by the UTA that the UTA had a deal with the UP Railroad to purchase a 20' right of way on the east side of the existing UP tracks through Roy for the purpose of putting in a light rail system. They want to construct another rail on this land to be used for this system. Mayor Burnett supported this use.

Chris Davis stated that they are trying to coordinate that with a 4-5 million dollar federal grant to preserve the corridor. UTA is saying that it will be around 100-150 million dollars to acquire the corridor. They don't want to acquire it, however, if they can't build the line.

Mayor Burnett asked the Council or the audience had any questions, and there were none.

Council member Cordova moved to close the City Council meeting at 6:55 p.m. Council member Becraft seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken to move to a closed meeting: Council members Becraft, Tafoya, Nakayu, and Cordova voted "aye." The motion carried.
