Council member Nakayu moved to adopt the consent agenda, consisting of Item B.

RESOLUTION NO. 731 APPOINTING THE MAYOR AS THE ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFYING OFFICIAL FOR CDBG GRANTS

Mike Mansfield stated that an environmental study is done every time a Community Development Block Grant is awarded. Mr. Mansfield stated that the mayor is required to be the environmental certifying official for the project. The mayor will not be listed by name as the certifying official in order that there might be continuity in the case of a new mayor coming into office. The new mayor would maintain that capacity until the City Council revokes it. This appointment will encompass all CDBG and HUD projects, so that a new letter will not need to be written each time a new project is started. Mr. Mansfield recommended that the Council approve the mayor as the Environmental Certifying Officer in this resolution.

Council member Nakayu moved to approve Resolution No. 731 appointing the Mayor as the Environmental Certifying Official for CDBG grants. Council member Cordova seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Council members Tafoya, Becraft, Nakayu, Cordova, and Smith voted "aye." The motion carried.

PUBLIC HEARING ON THE FY 2002 BUDGET AND AMENDMENTS TO THE FY 2001 BUDGET

Council member Becraft moved to move into public hearing Council member Smith seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

Cathy Spencer stated that a tentative budget was presented to the Council on May 5, 2001. She stated that 3 new employees were recommended for Roy City: 1 new fire fighter, 1 equipment operator, and an IT person for computers. There were no proposed increases for property taxes due to additional revenues from sales tax from several new businesses. There have been major increases in health insurance, so additional funding has been budgeted to help cover employee insurance. She stated that there are budgeted reductions in the revenue from building due to a decline in construction.

Ms. Spencer stated there are some changes to the tentative budget: the tennis courts at George Wahlen North Park were budgeted; and a slight allocation adjustment on the property tax revenue. Other items to be included in the budget are an additional $11,975.00 for police vehicles; 1 additional employee, a Community Development Director, and some furnishings for that position; and furnishings for the new computer technician.

Cathy Spencer read the adjustments in this year's budget to the Council. These adjustments are included in the packets given to the Council earlier. Council member Tafoya asked Chief Zimmerman how the contract with Ace Ambulance fit in to the budget. Chief Zimmerman stated that it was now signed; they have paid their money, but the money they have paid is for services that have already been provided. In 15 days, they will owe for the next quarter. A vote was taken to shut off their services if they don't pay at that time. If they don't pay, Chief Zimmerman will be asking Roy to cover Riverdale again.

Council member Smith asked about the allocated funds for item #13. Cathy Spencer stated that they are being taken from different divisions such as the street, water, public works administration. These funds will be all brought into public works administration, and this one department will expend the funds.

Council member Smith asked Mike Mansfield if the public works remodeling has made it more effective and utilitarian. Mr. Mansfield stated they are just moving into the remodeled office, but he thinks it will be a major improvement over the old building. Council member Nakayu asked if there were an elevator in the building. Mr. Mansfield said there was not, but if a disabled person were to come to the building, he and his staff would accommodate them by meeting them in the front office.

Mr. Wahlen stated that was an item not included in the FY 2002 budget were the revenues and expenditures for operating concessions on the new West Park. It was his suggestion that these items be included in the FY 2002 budget. Mr. Wahlen stated that the recommended new employee for Roy City would have the title of Community Development Director. This person would supervise grants, economic development, redevelopment, Roy Days, and special projects from the City Council. This position would be a department head level, with a job description review being made available to the Council. Council member Smith asked who this person would report to, and Mr. Wahlen stated they would report to the City Manager.

Council member Cordova asked what has been decided about the dumpster program. Mr. Wahlen stated that we will continue on as it is, with a change being made on January 1.

Council member Smith asked Cathy Spencer how she arrived at the figure of $3500.00 for Item 14. Ms. Spencer stated that it would be overtime for 1 hour a day when the parks were open, which was about 6 months of the year.

Mr. Nakayu stated that he had a concern with people calling the Police Department and getting a recorded message. Chief Zimmerman stated that the new phone book has the new number. This information has been put in the newsletter, and also in the newspaper.

Council member Smith asked Mike Mansfield if the money to complete the signs for the Riverdale and 5600 South entrances to Roy were in this year's budget. Mr. Wahlen stated that these funds were coming from the RDA budget.

Council member Cordova stated that he had some phone calls from people concerning keeping the pool open 1 more year. Mr. Mansfield stated that there were too many problems to keep it open, and any money put into this building will be money that will not be able to be spent on the new facility.

Council member Cordova moved to go out of public hearing. Council member Smith seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

LISA MELANDER - REQUEST FOR ORDINANCE CHANGE ON DOGS

Chris Davis stated Mrs. Melander spoke with him in February concerning her 3 dogs. Mr. Davis gave her permission to keep the 3 dogs pending a proposed ordinance change. Mr. Davis suggested to her that she get signatures from neighbors who would be affected by this ordinance change; the Council has a copy of this petition. He stated Mrs. Melander has a daughter with physical disabilities who relies on this dog for companionship and help. Mr. Davis stated he told Mrs. Melander this City Council has not dealt with this issue before, but other City Councils have decided not to allow more than 3 dogs. Mr. Davis stated Mrs. Melander was going before the Council to change the ordinance to allow for 3 dogs. Mr. Davis told Mrs. Melander this would have a broad impact on the City rather than just her situation.

Mayor Burnett asked what could be done besides modifying the ordinance to make an allowance for the Melanders. Mr. Davis stated they could go to the Board of Adjustments with a hardship.

Council member Smith asked Mrs. Melander if she was aware there were services available for her daughter with her hearing loss. Mrs Melander stated that she has had testing done, and that her daughter has been in special education classes since Junior High School. Council member Smith stated she was eligible for special aides to help her in school.

Mrs. Melander stated that Jared's name should be taken off of the proceedings--this is to be under her name. She stated that she came before the Council to ask for a special variance to the ordinance to benefit her daughter, not to have the entire ordinance changed. She stated she was asked to take this dog as an emergency rescue dog, which was being abused. This dog became a companion to her disabled daughter, helping her with mobility and hearing. She stated she had no knowledge of the ordinance allowing 2 dogs, and asked the Council for help to solve this problem.

Council member Cordova stated this was, in his opinion, a Board of Adjustments issue. He stated that rather than the entire ordinance be changed by the Council, this needs to be brought before this board.

Council member Smith suggested that Mrs. Melander go to the Deaf and Blind school to see about getting the dog registered as a companion dog based upon obedience training. If this dog could be classified as a service dog, this would be an entirely different situation because it would serve a definite purpose. Council member Smith stated the issue was more than just a dog, but

how to help the daughter to become functional. Council member Smith stated that if this action is not viable, then she should go before the Board of Adjustments.

Council member Tafoya stated that the Council can change the ordinance, but if Mrs. Melander wants a variance to the ordinance, she must first go to the Board of Adjustments. Mrs. Melander stated that she did not know that before she came to this meeting.

Council member Nakayu moved to waive the Board of Adjustments fee for Mrs. Melander. Council member Cordova seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

Mr. Melander asked the Council if an amendment to the ordinance could be added to allow for special circumstances such as these. Council member Cordova stated that there are cities and counties that require special permits, and the staff would look into this. There was further discussion concerning this issue, and the Council decided that Mrs. Melander needed to find a home for one of the dogs until this issue could be resolved through the Board of Adjustments

AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR 6000 SOUTH CURB, GUTTER, AND SIDEWALK PROJECT

Mike Mansfield stated that bids were opened on May 15 for this project, and C.E. Butters was the low bid at $83,995.00. The engineer's estimate was $103,490.00. The project falls within the approved FY 2001 budget amount, and is actually half of what was budgeted. Mr. Mansfield recommended the City Council award this project to C.E. Butters Realty & Construction Company in the amount of $83,995.00.

Council member Nakayu moved to award the contract for 6000 South curb, gutter, and sidewalk project to C.E. Butters Realty & Construction Company. Council member Becraft seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT

Chris Zimmerman, Chief of Police stated there is a situation by Roy West Park where the people who live at 4501 don't want the red paint, but 4519 and 4481 do want the red paint. Mr. Zimmerman stated the long term solution would be additional parking and moving the bike park. Mr. Zimmerman showed the Council where his department would paint this area for safety reasons. Mr. Zimmerman stated there is a problem with cars parking on the street when there are soccer and baseball games, as well as large functions such as the Roy City fireworks display.

Council member Smith suggested that the citizens of the area take care of the problem, and for the Council to leave it as it is.

Blake Wahlen stated that the proposed July 1 service to honor George Wahlen be a small gathering with family and City Council members rather than having the governor and other dignitaries attending. Mr. Wahlen stated that his father would prefer this instead of having a large production.

Chris Davis stated the Elks have consented to do the parade again this year. Nolan Karras was suggested as being this year's grand marshal for the parade. The theme for Roy Days was discussed, but was not decided upon.

Blake Wahlen stated The Crest has a $15,000 delinquent water bill. The association will pay $1,000 this week, and $2500 in two weeks. Mr. Wahlen stated there is probably a leak somewhere, but the water is going through the meter and is being used somewhere.

There was discussion concerning individual meters, and the problem would be the city would come into this private development reading individual meters. Council member Cordova asked why secondary was not being used, and Mr. Wahlen stated they had secondary water on the green space, but culinary on their individual lawns. The City will send a letter to the residents explaining the current situation.

Mr. Wahlen stated that the debt can be handled by payments, but the immediate problem is to find out where the leak is, and get that solved.

MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS

Mayor Burnett stated he received a call from the Weber County Commission saying they need a representative to be on the selection committee for who carries a torch for Weber County. Mayor Burnett stated that Larry Miller will be our representative from the Board of Adjustments.

Mayor Burnett stated on June 25 at 11:15, there will be a luncheon for Roy City senior citizens.

Council member Becraft moved to adjourn the City Council meeting. Council member Tafoya seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.
