APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA Councilman Tafoya asked to have Item A removed from the Consent Agenda. Councilman Cordova moved to approve the Consent Agenda consisting of: Final approval of Southfork Meadows Subdivision No. 3 at approximately 3750 West 6000 South; and final approval of Walker Estates Subdivision No. 3 at approximately 3950 West 4600 South.

CONSIDERATION OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND SITE PLAN FOR KAREN A. KRAFTICK FOR A CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC AT APPROXIMATELY 1778 WEST 5150 SOUTH Councilman Tafoya felt that Kim Keller had been given plenty of time to complete the Silver Creek site improvements. How long would the City let him drag it out? Chris Davis stated that Kim Keller knew that he would not receive a final occupancy on Karen Kraftick's building until the site improvements required by the City Council were in. Karen Kraftick stated that Kim Keller had told her he would have the site improvements completed by the end of June. Councilman Tafoya asked how Karen Kraftick planned to go from people chiropractic to animals. Ms. Kraftick stated that her main business was people. She had taken classes in animal chiropractics. In order to do animals, she planned to use the second entrance and have different hours. She wasn't planning to start animal chiropractics at this time. Councilman Nakayu asked if Kim Keller was the same developer the City had dealt with from the beginning. Blake Wahlen said he was. There were two separate issues - Karen Kraftick's conditional use permit and the site improvements. The Council was considering Ms. Kraftick's conditional use, and he didn't want to get the two issues confused. Councilman Tafoya asked if the parking stalls behind Lot No. 1 were just for Karen Kraftick. Blake Wahlen stated that additional parking stalls for Karen Kraftick's building would be completed by the end of the month. Until then, Ms. Kraftick could use the parking behind Lot No. 1. The City Council had required Kim Keller to complete the parking lot to the access on 5150 South. That had to be done before the City would grant a final occupancy for Karen Kraftick's building. Councilman Smith moved to approve a conditional use permit for Karen A. Kraftick for a chiropractic clinic at approximately 1778 West 5150 South subject to the staff's recommendations, and directed that the staff to not grant a final occupancy for Karen Kraftick's building until the required site improvements were completed. Councilman Tafoya seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. |

APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 732 ACCEPTING A PETITION FROM FLORENCE M. AND WALLACE J. HUNSAKER, UTAH POWER & LIGHT, JORDAN VALLEY WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT, AND CARL B. AND LYNETTE H. COOK TO CONSIDER ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY 12.51 ACRES OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY INTO ROY CITY AND DIRECTING THAT A PUBLIC HEARING BE SET Chris Davis stated that the City had received an annexation petition from Florence M. and Wallace J. Hunsaker. Approving Resolution No. 732 would allow the staff to begin the certification and notification process. Four parcels owned by Utah Power & Light, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, and Carl B. and Lynette H. Cook were being included in the annexation. All three property owners had given the staff verbal indication that they wanted to be included, but the City had not received formal applications. Once Resolution No. 732 was approved, they would have to protest the annexation to have their properties withdrawn. Mr. Davis felt that was unlikely. The staff had contacted the other property owners in the unincorporated island, but they were not interested in annexing at this time. Mr. Davis said there would be a 60-day protest period because of the existing home on the Hunsaker property. Resolution No. 732 set a public hearing for September 4, 2001, at 6:30 p.m. Councilman Nakayu asked if this annexation would reduce the size of the unincorporated island but not eliminate it. Mr. Davis said that was correct. Wallace Hunsaker, 3111 West 5600 South, stated that the Jordan Valley and Utah Power & Light properties had come before the City for annexation two years ago. Mayor Burnett asked if that was the John Child annexation. Chris Davis said it was. John Child requested annexation of his property, which the City approved. Then he sold his property to Jordan Valley Water, and they never followed through on the annexation. Councilman Tafoya asked about zoning. Chris Davis stated that the petitioners were asking for an RE-20 Zone on the east portion of the property and R-1-8 on the remainder. Wallace Hunsaker stated that he had seen a conceptual development plan for his property. The proposed lots juggled around the power poles and power easements. Councilman Tafoya moved to approve Resolution No. 732 accepting a petition from Florence M. and Wallace J. Hunsaker, Utah Power & Light, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, and Carl B. and Lynette H. Cook to consider annexation of approximately 19.58 acres of certain real property into Roy City and directing that a public hearing be set for September 4, 2001, at 6:30 p.m. Councilman Cordova seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Council members Becraft, Tafoya, Smith, Nakayu, and Cordova voted "aye." The motion carried. (Copy filed for record) |

APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 733 ACCEPTING A PETITION FROM VICKIE HALL AND ROY CITY CORPORATION TO CONSIDER ANNEXATION OF APPROXIMATELY 2.40 ACRES OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY INTO ROY CITY AND DIRECTING THAT A PUBLIC HEARING BE SET Chris Davis stated that Vickie Hall had requested that property she owned on Midland Drive be annexed into the City. Resolution No. 733 included the City's detention basin which was adjacent to her property. Approval of Resolution No. 733 would allow the staff to begin the certification and notification process. Because there was a home on Ms. Hall's property, the protest period would be 60 days. Councilman Smith moved to approve Resolution No. 733 accepting a petition from Vickie Hall and Roy City Corporation to consider annexation of approximately 2.40 acres of certain real property into Roy City and directing that a public hearing be set for September 4, 2001, at 6:45 p.m. Councilman Cordova seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Council members Cordova, Smith, Becraft, Nakayu, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. (Copy filed for record) |

REAPPOINTMENT OF DEAN MARTINEZ AND LARRY PETERSON TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THREE-YEAR TERMS TO EXPIRE ON JUNE 30, 2004 Mayor Burnett stated that he had not been able to contact Dean Martinez. He recommended that Larry Peterson be reappointed to Planning Commission for a three-year term to expire on June 30, 2004. Councilman Nakayu asked if Mayor Burnett planned to recommend Dean Martinez for reappointment after contacting him. Mayor Burnett said that he did. Councilman Nakayu moved to concur with the Mayor's reappointment of Dean Martinez and Larry Peterson to the Planning Commission to serve three-year terms expiring on June 30, 2004. Councilman Smith seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. |

6. FINAL APPROVAL OF BINGHAM INDUSTRIAL PARK PHASE NO. 3 LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 1950 WEST 3350 SOUTH Blake Wahlen stated that Calvin Kippen was requesting final approval of the third phase of Bingham Industrial Park. Mr. Kippen had met all of the staff's conditions, and the staff recommended final approval. Mayor Burnett asked if 3350 South would be left open for a future extension. Mr. Wahlen said it would, although there would be a temporary cul-de-sac at the end for an emergency turn-around. Councilman Cordova moved to grant final approval of Bingham Industrial Park Phase No. 3 subject to the staff's recommendations. Councilwoman Becraft seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. |

All of the other budgets were the same. The total budget for all funds was $18,490,494. Ms. Spencer said the City had not received the certified tax rate from Weber County. The City would probably receive it in August. At that time the budget would probably have to be adjusted. Councilwoman Becraft moved to approve Resolution No. 734 adopting the Fiscal Year 2002 City budget and levying a property tax rate revenue anticipated to be established by Weber County. Councilman Nakayu seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Council members Nakayu, Cordova, Smith, Tafoya, and Becraft voted "aye." The motion carried. (Copy filed for record) |

| 10. | AWARD OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE AIRPORT ROAD
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Mike Mansfield stated that the Airport Road improvement project would include installation of curb and gutter on the east side of Airport Road from 4400 South to 4800 South; secondary water connections for the east side of Airport Road for future beautification projects; storm sewer installation from the detention pond to the Silver Creek Development; and realignment of the Airport Road/4400 South intersection. Mr. Mansfield said that bids for the Airport Road improvement project were opened on June 19th. Six bids were received with prices ranging from $417,055.00 to $552,250.00. The Engineer's Estimate was $453,375.00. Advanced Paving and Construction submitted the low bid of $417,055.00. Mr. Mansfield said the project would be funded from the FY2001 Class-C Road Fund and the FY2001 Storm Sewer Fund. The amounts budgeted were as follows: Fund Budgeted Project Cost Shortfall Mr. Mansfield said there were funds in two different line items of the Class-C Road Fund to cover the $129,775.00 shortfall. The Layton Canal bridge on 6000 South was not constructed leaving $85,000.00 in the budget, and the City received an excellent price on the 6000 South project leaving a savings of $60,605.00. The staff recommended that the City Council approve using those line items to cover the Airport Road improvement project, and that the Council award the contract for the project to Advanced Paving and Construction in the amount of $417,055.00. Councilman Smith asked how using 2001 Class-C Road funds would affect the Class-C Road Fund in the 2002 budget. Mike Mansfield said there was about $1 million left in the fund balance. There was money to cover the projects budgeted for 2002. The only change to the 2002 budget would be lowering the fund balance because those two line items wouldn't be rolled over. Councilman Cordova asked about the construction time of the project. He was concerned about making the traffic situation worse. There were already delays being caused by the I-15 reconstruction. Mike Mansfield stated that the Public Works Department planned to work the project carefully. The contractor would be committed to meeting the fall project deadline. However, Airport Road would be closed from 4400 South to 4800 South. Blake Wahlen stated that work on 1900 West was almost done. He didn't know when the freeway would be completed. He recommended that the Council award the contract, and the staff would do all it could to help the traffic problem. The staff would make sure 1900 West was done before Airport Road was closed. Councilman Smith felt the City should make a commitment to beautify the east side of Airport Road if it was going to put in a new road. Blake Wahlen felt there was a possibility a community group would do the beautification project within the next couple of years. The Airport Road project had come in over-budget as it was. The staff didn't feel the City should add further costs to the project. Mike Mansfield stated that he could explore the costs of trees and a sprinkling system for next year's budget. Police Chief Chris Zimmerman stated that the Herefordshire Homeowners' Association had committed to taking care of the sprinklers in the beautification project, but not the trees. Councilman Tafoya moved to award the contract for the Airport Road improvement project to Advanced Paving and Construction in the amount of $417,055.00; to authorize the Mayor to sign the Contract Agreement and the Notice of Award; and to authorize the staff to use the two line items in the Class-C Road Fund to cover the shortfall. Councilwoman Becraft seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. Councilman Smith moved to direct Mike Mansfield to prepare a cost estimate for trees along Airport Road for the Council to consider during the mid-year budget opening. Councilman Tafoya seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. Mike Mansfield responded to questions from the Council about the status of the beautification project on Riverdale Road, Sandridge Park, and the Ogden Airport |

A COMMON BOUNDARY BETWEEN ROY CITY AND HOOPER CITY AT APPROXIMATELY 4162
WEST 5850 SOUTH
Councilman Nakayu moved to open the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. Councilman Smith seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. Chris Davis stated that Wayne and Helen Beus, Mike and Mary Jo Hansen, and Larry and Darlene Kliewer had petitioned Hooper City and Roy City asking that they be included in Roy City. They wanted municipal services Hooper City could not provide. Hooper City and Roy City had agreed to adjust their boundaries to allow these three properties to be included in Roy City. The Adams property at approximately 4202 West 6000 South would not be included in the boundary adjustment. Mr. Davis said the petitioners had been concerned about animal rights. Mr. Hansen and Mr. Kliewer both had four horses. The staff had taken the position that Mr. Hansen and Mr. Kliewer would be grand fathered with four animals each. The staff recommended that the City Council approve Ordinance No. 882. Councilman Tafoya asked if Wayne Beus had animals. Chris Davis said that Wayne Beus and Larry Kliewer anticipated selling their property to allow for residential development. Councilman Cordova asked what zone would be assigned to the three properties. Michelle Drago stated that when the three property owners requested annexation several years ago, they had asked for RE-20 and R-1-10 zones. Mayor Burnett asked if there were any comments from the audience. Beth Delacruz, 2090 West 5950 South; Sally Peterson, 2073 West 5950 South, and Marie Bingham, 2100 West 6000 South, were concerned about saving the Municipal Park swimming pool. Mayor Burnett indicated that the Council would address their concerns at the conclusion of the City Council agenda. Maria Bingham asked how much say Hooper City had in the boundary adjustment. Mayor Burnett stated that the Hooper City Council would have to pass an ordinance similar to Ordinance No. 882, which they anticipated doing on Thursday, June 21st. Ms. Bingham asked why the City wanted these three properties. Mayor Burnett said it would help make the City streets consistent and help straighten out the City boundaries. There were no further comments from the audience. Councilman Smith moved to close the public hearing at 7:16 p.m. Councilwoman Becraft seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

| 14. | DISCUSSION REGARDING THE OUTDOOR POOL AT
MUNICIPAL PARK
Beth Delacruz and Sally Peterson expressed concern about the outdoor pool at Municipal Park being closed. Their children and grandchildren would either have to cross 5600 South or wait for their parents to transport them to a pool. They needed someplace they could walk to. Both ladies felt there needed to be something for the children on their side of the City rather than in the north and the west. Mayor Burnett stated that the City planned to build a new outdoor pool. Councilman Nakayu stated that the pool at Municipal Park had deteriorated. It was costing the City too much money to keep it running. Sally Peterson asked why the outdoor pool had to be moved from Municipal Park. Blake Wahlen stated that the design of the new outdoor pool would not fit at Municipal Park. He reviewed the proposed design. Councilwoman Becraft was excused at 7:23 p.m. Mayor Burnett stated that the City Council had looked at three parks - Municipal Park, Roy Park, and North Park. The proposed design eliminated Municipal Park. The Council finally decided on Roy Park, but it was hesitant to lose a park. Therefore, it was looking at other options near the center of the City. Beth Delacruz suggested that the City build several small neighborhood pools rather than one large one. Blake Wahlen said it would cost more money to build two pools than one large one. It came down to dollars. There was still a question of what would be built in place of the Municipal pool once it was demolished. Ms. Delacruz asked what the new pool would cost. Mr. Wahlen said it would be about $2 million. Sally Peterson stated that people in her neighborhood had not been invited to any public hearings about the pool. Blake Wahlen said the City had provided notice of the public hearings in the City newsletter, placed notices on doors, and sent flyers home with school children. Councilman Smith stated that construction of the new pool would create another park. He felt it would be good for the neighborhood around Municipal Park to consider what it would like to have the pool replaced with. Blake Wahlen said there were several options, such as a sport court, tennis courts, or a skateboard park. Councilman Cordova suggested a water fountain that the children could play in. Maria Bingham was concerned about children in the neighborhood having someplace to go. She suggested that the old pool location be left dormant long enough for the City to communicate with those in the neighborhood about what should be put in its place. She felt she could be a median voice for those in her neighborhood. There might be enough people like her who would be willing to give enough money to reopen the Municipal Pool. Mayor Burnett suggested holding some meetings in the Municipal neighborhood. Blake Wahlen said that was the staff's intent. The old pool would be demolished this year. The staff planned to meet with the neighborhood to discuss what should be put in its place. The City has $70,000 to put into the site. He asked the neighborhood to keep an open mind. Mr. Wahlen did not feel the City Council needed to revisit the outdoor pool issue. Police Chief Zimmerman did not feel the neighborhood pool would meet the needs of the community, nor did he feel it would draw the children when there was a large community pool about 10 blocks away. There was further discussion. Blake Wahlen stated that the staff would work with Maria Bingham and the Municipal neighborhood to discuss options for the pool location at Municipal Park |

| 15. | CITY MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY REPORT
Chris Davis stated that the theme for the Roy Days Parade would be "United as One in 2001", unless someone from the Council had a better suggestion. Chris Davis stated that the youth program of the LDS Roy West Stake had reserved the detention basin on 4300 West for a youth dance on July 7th. The dance would be held from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. Mr. Davis said the Noise Ordinance called for that type of activity to end at 10:00 p.m. Did the City Council have any concerns about this activity? Councilman Cordova moved to allow the LDS Roy West Stake to hold a dance on July 7th from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m., which was one hour past the time established by the Noise Ordinance, subject to the residents of adjoining neighborhoods being notified. Councilman Tafoya seconded the motion. Council members Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. Blake Wahlen stated that the tennis courts at North Park were gone. The Kiwanis Club and the staff would be searching for a new location for the Roy Days Youth Stomp. Blake Wahlen stated that the Public Works Department has expressed concern about the dumpsters at the shop. He asked if the City Council wanted to discontinue the dumpsters at the shop. After some discussion, the Council directed the staff to remove the dumpsters from the shop and explore options for assisting residents with large waste removal. Blake Wahlen asked if the Council had any suggestions for the next newsletter, which would be going out about the first of July. Councilman Nakayu asked that the newsletter include an article about the Historical Museum cleanup on July 14th, and that the annual art show would be extended to two weeks. Blake Wahlen stated that the City would be sending a letter to The Crest about their delinquent water bill. Blake Wahlen stated that Lynette Peterson had resigned.
