APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA Councilman Cordova asked to have Item B removed from the Consent Agenda. Councilman Smith moved to approve the Consent Agenda consisting of: Preliminary and final approval of Armadillo Subdivision (a subdivision of Chelle Cove Subdivision Phase No. 1 Lot No. 3) located at approximately 4125 West 4800 South; site plan approval for ABC Mandarin Restaurant at approximately 5260 South 1900 West; final acceptance of subdivision improvements for Countrybrook Subdivision No. 8 located at approximately 5000 South 4075 West; and approval of Class "A" beer license for Sinclair Super Center at 5608 South 1900 West and Class "B" beer license for Five Star Restaurant at 5676 South 1900 West. Councilman Tafoya seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. 2B. APPROVAL OF REVISED FINAL PLAT FOR WALKER ESTATES SUBDIVISION NO. 3 LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 2950 WEST 4600 SOUTH In response to a question from Councilman Cordova, Mark Larson stated that the Planning Commission and Council had granted final approval of Walker Estates No. 3, but it had not been recorded. The developer, Robert Fuller, had purchased the land immediately north of Phase No. 3, which he planned to subdivide. In order to get an additional lot on that land, Mr. Fuller was proposing to reduce the size of Lot Nos. 15 and 16 in Phase No. 3. Both lots still met the requirements of the R-1-8 Zone. Councilman Tafoya asked how many square feet had been removed from Lot Nos. 15 and 16. Chris Zimmerman said both lots had been reduced about 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. They still met the width and size requirements of the R-1-8 Zone and fit with the lots across the street to the south. Councilwoman Becraft moved to approve a revised final plat for Walker Estates Subdivision No. 3 located at approximately 2950 West 4600 South. Councilman Smith seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. |

CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 887 AN ORDINANCE VACATING EASEMENTS ON LOT NOS. 1 AND 2 OF WALKER ESTATES SUBDIVISION NO. 1 Mark Larson stated that Robert Fuller was proposing to amend Lot Nos. 1 and 2 to create an additional lot. On August 28th, the Planning Commission reviewed an amended plat for Walker Estates No. 1 subject to the utility easements being vacated. On September 4th the City Council approved the amended plat based on the Planning Commission's recommendations, including vacating the easements. In order to vacate the easements, the City Council had to allow a protest period and hold a public hearing. The public hearing was held on October 16th. There were no public comments or protests. However, Councilman Cordova asked that the staff review the utility easements to make sure there were no utilities in them, and the decision to vacate the easements was tabled. Mr. Larson said the developer's engineer had verified that there were no utilities running through the north/south easement. There were utilities in the easement running parallel to 4600 South. That easement was not being vacated. Councilman Cordova also expressed concern about having the power pedestals and secondary valve boxes on the property lines. The developer had agreed to relocate the power pedestals and valve boxes to the new property lines. It was Councilman Cordova's opinion that splitting two clean lots to create three lots with unusual lot lines was not in the best interest of the City. Mark Larson stated that all three lots met the size and width requirements of the R-1-8 Zone. Councilman Cordova moved to approve Ordinance No. 887 vacating easements in Lot Nos. 1 and 2 of Walker Estates Subdivision No. 1. Councilman Tafoya seconded the motion. Councilman Smith asked what would happen if Ordinance No. 887 was not approved. Mark Larson said the amended subdivision plat was approved by the City Council on September 4th. If the Council did not approve Ordinance No. 887, the easements would remain intact and future homeowners would not be able to build on the easements. A roll call vote was taken: Council members Becraft, Smith, Cordova, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. (Copy filed for record). |

APPROVAL OF SALE OF 1980 HAHN FIRE ENGINE Fire Chief Ritchie stated that the City of Paragonah, Utah, had asked if the City's reserve fire engine, the 1980 Hahn, was for sale. It had been the Fire Department's intention to sell the 1980 Hahn after the purchase of the new engine. After researching nation-wide fire apparatus magazines, Chief Ritchie had determined that a fair and equitable price for the 1980 Hahn was $10,000. Paragonah City was willing to pay that price and was excited to pick the engineer as soon as possible. Chief Ritchie asked that the Council declare the 1980 Hahn fire engine as surplus so that it could be sold to Paragonah City for $10,000. The money would be placed in a Fire Department account for future fire apparatus purchases, like a brush truck. Councilman Cordova asked what fire trucks would be left. Chief Ritchie said the Fire Department had two engines plus a ladder truck. He felt Paragonah City would get much better use out of the 1980 Hahn than Roy City would. Selling the fire engine to Paragonah City would save the cost of advertising. Councilman Tafoya asked what would happen to the $10,000. Chief Ritchie said it would be set aside in a special account for future fire apparatus purchases. Hopefully, it would be a brush truck. Chris Davis stated that the City Council could recommend that the $10,000 be put into a special account. Councilman Smith moved to declare the 1980 Hahn fire engine as surplus;
to approve the sale of the 1980 Hahn to Paragonah City for 10,000; to
direct that the $10,000 be set aside in a special account for future fire
apparatus purchases; and directed that the Fire Department prepare a report
on how Engine 3 would be used as reserve. Councilwoman Becraft seconded
the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Smith, and Tafoya voted
"aye." The motion carried. |

APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 753 AMENDING THE PERSONNEL POLICY RELATING TO PARAMEDIC EDUCATION REIMBURSEMENT REQUIREMENTS Fire Chief Ritchie stated that during the last budget process the Fire Department tried to budget money to educate their fire fighters and EMT's. That would allow them to fill vacancies internally rather than hiring off of the street. It had been done in the past but had been discontinued because of the cost. Chief Ritchie asked that the Council approve Resolution No. 753 amending the Personnel Policy to provide a paramedic education program. He reviewed the program with the Council and explained how it would be done at a minimum cost to the City. Councilman Smith asked what the training would cost. Chief Ritchie said it would be about $4,800 per fire fighter. After finishing the program, the fire fighters would be required to come back and work for the City for at least two years or pay back the City. Councilman Tafoya moved to approve Resolution No. 753 amending the Roy
City Personnel Policy and Procedure Manual to provide for a paramedic
education program. Councilman Smith seconded the motion. A roll call vote
was taken: Council members Tafoya, Cordova, Smith, and Becraft voted "aye."
The motion carried. (Copy filed for record). |

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A PETITION FROM BRIAN AND MICHELLE L. SMITH AND JORDAN VALLEY WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT TO ANNEX APPROXIMATELY 12.87 ACRES LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 3346 WEST 5200 SOUTH WITH A ZONE OF R-1-8 Councilman Smith moved to open the public hearing at 6:30 p.m. Councilman Cordova seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. Chris Zimmerman stated that on July 10, 2001, petitions were filed by Brian and Michelle Smith and the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District to annex their respective properties on 5200 South. At that time, the staff felt the City needed to look at including the Dayton and Marriott properties as well. The staff spoke with Reed and Sherran Dayton and felt that they were going to go along with the annexation. The staff contacted the Marriotts through mail. They indicated they were not interested in annexation. Because the Dayton and Marriott properties would be left as a small, unincorporated island, the City Council chose to include them when it accepted the Smith and Jordan Valley petitions. There were no legal protests filed during the 60-day protest period. The Marriotts did contact the staff and indicate they did not want to be included in the annexation. Mr. Zimmerman said that during the Planning Commission hearing, Reed Dayton said he did not want to be included in the annexation either. That changed the entire situation. The staff recommended that the annexation not include the Daytons or the Marriotts. At the Planning Commission meeting, Reed Dayton also indicated that he had asked Jordan Valley Water to withdraw their petition as he leased their property. During the week between the Planning Commission and City Council hearings, the staff had been in contact with Jason Brown from the Jordan Valley Water District. They still wanted to be part of the annexation and were asking that their property be zoned R-1-8. They were concerned about whether they would be able to keep their animal rights and whether their property could be used to grow crops. The staff had sent Jordan Valley Water a letter under the direction of the Interim City Manager stating that they would be allowed to keep 35 large animals on their property and grow crops. Both uses would be grand fathered in. Mr. Zimmerman said that during the Planning Commission meeting, Sidna Marriott expressed displeasure about the wording of the legal notice for the annexation. The way it was worded made it sound like she had petitioned for annexation when she had not. The staff reviewed the State code. Due to the circumstances, the notice should have been worded differently. Most of the other public comments at the Planning Commission's hearing were about the R-1-8 Zone. Surrounding property owners felt there was enough R-1-8 zoning in the area. There was a concern about storm drainage, which the staff had followed up with Public Works. Mr. Zimmerman said the Planning Commission recommended that the Brian and Michelle Smith, Jordan Valley Water, and Weber County properties be annexed, and that they be zoned R-1-10. They recommended that the Dayton and Marriott properties be excluded. Councilman Cordova asked how often the City Council annexed property when the property owners were unwilling. Chris Davis said it had happened once or twice during the time he had worked for the City. It was uncommon. Kevin Ivins stated that when he bought the Smith property, he felt the surrounding R-1-6 Zones were too dense so he requested an R-1-8 Zone. In an R-1-8 Zone, the average lot size would be 10,000 square feet. Chris Davis reminded the Council and the public that this hearing was to consider annexation and zoning, not a lot layout. A subdivision would be considered after the annexation was approved and recorded. Mayor Burnett opened the floor for public comments. Debbie Butte, 3369 West 5125 South, stated that even though her subdivision was in an R-1-6 Zone, the lots were 8,000 square feet. She presented the City Council with a petition signed by surrounding property owners opposing anything less than 10,000 square foot lots. She said there was a subdivision on 3200 West that was annexed a few years ago. It had 22 lots. Seventeen of the lots were vacant. Only three of the five homes that had been constructed were occupied. She was also concerned about the overcrowded schools. Councilman Tafoya asked how many names were on the petition. Mrs. Butte said there were about 100 signatures. Sandra McDonald, 3368 West 5200 South, stated that she had accompanied Debbie Butte to get the petition signed. All of the people who signed the petition lived in R-1-6, R-1-7, and R-1-8 Zones. Those people wanted to stay in Roy and move up, but there wasn't anywhere for them to go. Cindy Becraft stated that she was representing the Daytons and the Marriotts. They were also pushing for an R-1-10 Zone. A lot of the unincorporated lots in this area were over an acre in size. They felt an R-1-8 Zone would depreciate their property values, especially when the Jordan Valley Water property developed. An R-1-8 Zone would make it difficult for them to get full value out of their homes. With the current economical situation, more homes were going into foreclosure. Councilman Tafoya asked if the Daytons and Marriotts were still opposed to annexing. Cindy Becraft said they were. Sidna Marriott, 3276 West 5200 South, stated that she did not want to be annexed because her property taxes would be increased and she would have to pay $1,000 fee to disconnect from Hooper Water and pay to connect to Roy City water. It came down to the almighty dollar. She had animals on the Utah Power & Light right-of-way. She was concerned that annexing would affect that use. Reed Dayton, 3298 West 5200 South, stated that he did not want to annex into the City because his sewer and garbage would go up. When he built his first home, Roy City would not give him water so he had to run in a Hooper water line. When he built his second home next door, he had to connect to Roy City water, and the City charged him a double rate! When the City built the new fire station across the street, it overlaid the road. Now all of the run off water ended up in his yard. Roy City had never done anything to entice him to annex. Councilman Tafoya stated that part of the master plan was to eliminate unincorporated islands. Mr. Dayton had some valid concerns. However, Roy City's public safety would respond to his home not Weber County. Sidna Marriott stated that when she called the Roy City Police Department she was told call Weber County. Mayor Burnett said that was who she should call unless there was an emergency. Mary Lou Cheney asked if the City's master plan was to cover every single piece of vacant property with houses. She would appreciate some consideration for open space. Councilman Smith stated that a lot of growth had occurred, and the City was looking at adding more parks and open space. On the other hand, the City did not deny people services. It had to be a good neighbor. He too felt there should be larger homes in Roy. The City Council was also trying to encourage more commercial development. Tracy Butte, 3369 West 5125 South, stated that the Planning Commission recommended that this annexation be zoned R-1-10. Could the City Council override the Planning Commission's recommendation? If so, why did the City have a Planning Commission? Mayor Burnett stated that the Planning Commission reviewed planning matters in more depth than the City Council had time for. The Planning Commission and staff did a lot of footwork. Councilman Tafoya asked if there was a way to work out a utility arrangement that would make annexation enticing to the Daytons and Marriotts. Chris Zimmerman said there was a lot more involved than just waiving City fees. Other entities, such as Hooper Water, North Davis Sewer, and secondary water were also involved. The City did not have the right to waive their fees. Those who lived in the unincorporated county were getting the best of both worlds. There wasn't a lot of reason for them to change. Councilman Tafoya stated that the longer people waited, the higher the fees would be. Chris Zimmerman said there was some discussion about the Hooper disconnection fee being reduced or eliminated. The City Council would have to wait to see what developed. Councilman Smith asked if the staff was recommending an R-1-8 Zone. Mark Larson said that the Smiths and Jordan Valley Water wanted an R-1-8 Zone, and the staff had recommended an R-1-8 Zone. The Planning Commission felt an R-1-10 Zone would be a compromise. Dan Wright, 3389 West 5200 South, stated that he had lived in Roy City for 15 years and the unincorporated area for 7 years. He was proud to be in Roy and told people he was from Roy. He stated that an R-1-8 Zone would attract young, ambitious, hardworking families. They were trying to move from renting into a home. They were good neighbors. However, their families grew, and an R-1-8 Zone did not allow them room to expand. So they started looking for a larger area with a little larger home. Roy City lacked places for people to go, and the City was losing good families. He hated to see that. The developer was going to make a lot of money on the development end. Losing one or two lots would not kill a development. It just reduced the profit margin a little bit. He felt the City Council need to address infrastructure and do it with integrity and honesty. Councilman Smith moved to close the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. Councilman Tafoya seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. Councilman Smith moved to approve the annexation of the Brian and Michelle L. Smith, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy, and Weber County properties at approximately 3346 West 5200 South with a zone of R-1-10; and directed the staff to amend the legal descriptions for Resolution No. 751 and Ordinance No. 888 to reflect those three properties. Councilwoman Becraft seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. Chris Davis stated that the staff would make those changes and place
Resolution No. 751 and Ordinance No. 888 on the next Council agenda. |

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN ROY CITY AND RIVERDALE CITY Councilman Cordova moved to open the public hearing at 7:14 p.m. Councilman Tafoya seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. Chris Zimmerman stated that about 60 days ago, Roy City and Riverdale City began working on a few boundary adjustments. Parcel A was located at 4800 South Airport Road. It would be brought into Roy City. Parcel B was the east corner of the Ray Citte Auto parking lot. It would also be brought into Roy City. In exchange for Parcels A and B, Riverdale City was to receive Parcel C, which was located on Freeway Park Drive. When the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed boundary adjustments, they felt it needed further review. Parcels A and B were simply cleaning up boundaries. Parcel C was owned by The Boyer Company. Once it was in Riverdale, it would make a nice building lot. All of the property and sales taxes would go to Riverdale. The Planning Commission did not feel comfortable giving away something that might be of value to the citizens. Roy Watts, the Planning Commission Chairman, had prepared a memo outlining the Planning Commission's concerns. The staff recommended that the City Council table consideration of the boundary adjustments until it had had time to review the Planning Commission's concerns and the staff had had time to do further investigation. Mayor Burnett asked if there were any comments from the audience. There were none. Councilman Cordova moved to close the public hearing at 7:19 p.m. Councilman Smith seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. Councilman Cordova moved to table consideration of boundary adjustments between Roy City and Riverdale City for further review. Councilman Smith seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. Councilman Cordova asked what had prompted the City to make the proposed boundary adjustments. Chris Davis said part of it was initially prompted by the development of the Ray Citte Auto property. He said it would be very difficult for Roy City to provide services to property on Freeway Park Drive. Chris Davis said he would let the Riverdale City manager know what action the City Council had taken. The City Council took a recess from 7:25 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. |

MOTION TO RECONSIDER RE-20 AND R-1-10 ZONING OF FLORENCE H. AND WALLACE J. HUNSAKER, UTAH POWER & LIGHT, JORDAN VALLEY WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT, AND CARL B. AND LYNETTE H. COOK PROPERTIES LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 3100 WEST 5600 SOUTH Mayor Burnett stated that during the last Council meeting, Wallace Hunsaker and Gerry Adair asked that the City Council reconsider the R-1-10 zoning of the Hunsaker property. Council members Nakayu and Smith indicated they were willing to make and second a motion to reconsider the zoning. Chris Davis stated that because two council members were willing to make and second a motion to reconsider the zoning, this item had been added to the agenda. Prior to any discussion, a motion to reconsider had to be passed. Councilman Smith moved to reconsider the zoning of the Florence H. and Wallace J. Hunsaker, Utah Power & Light, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, and Carl B. and Lynette H. Cook properties. The motion died for lack of a second. Chris Davis stated that the staff felt that if anything further was to happen with this property, it would have to go back to the Planning Commission. Mayor Burnett asked if there were any comments from the audience. Gerry Adair stated that the problem with the Hunsaker property was getting around the power lines. An R-1-10 Zone required 80 feet of frontage; an R-1-8 Zone required 65 feet. The difference in lot width changed the number of potential lots from 29 to 34. With an R-1-8 Zone, the average lot size would be 10,327 square feet. Ten lots would be in excess of 10,000 square feet; 22 would be between 8,000 and 9,000 square feet. Mr. Adair did not feel that five homes made that much difference. Eighty percent of Roy City was zoned R-1-8. He asked that the City Council reconsider the zoning. Councilman Tafoya did not feel the Council should spend more time on
the issue as the motion had died. |

DISCUSSION WITH MAYOR WAYMENT ABOUT WHETHER ROY CITY IS GOING TO WAIVE THE IMPACT FEES FOR WEST HAVEN Cathy Spencer stated that after a request from Mayor Wayment to reduce or remove the connection fees for approximately 70 septic tank users, she was instructed by the Council to determine if user fees had been appropriately paid by the West Haven Special Services District. Ms. Spencer said she had reviewed the sewer fees paid by West haven. It was somewhat difficult to determine when homes started using Roy's system, so she had done an analysis by taking the connection fees West Haven had paid and estimated the user fees due. The connection fees were usually paid when the permit was taken out, so the City could probably estimate that the homes had not actually started using the system until three to six months later. West Haven did not require homeowners to sign up for services when their homes were done because they did not provide any specific services to their residents. Roy City had received connection fee payments for 333 homes and two schools. When the agreement was originally set up, it was determined that the two schools would pay user fees based on ERU's (equivalent residential units). The ERU's for the two schools totaled 21.3. With the 333 homes, there was a total of 354.3 ERU's. During the review of the user fees, she found that 55 of the septic tank users had already connected to Roy's system. Connections had been made since June 2000. No connection fees had been paid. She was also told that the septic tank users were required to connect to Roy's system as part of West Haven's new sewer project and not necessarily because their septic tanks were failing. If those 55 users were added to the new homes, there was a total of 409.3 ERU's. Based on 404.3 ERU's (five homes were not eligible for user fees yet), West Haven should be paying $2,065.97 per month. The City's last payment from them was for $1,773.00, which equated to 347 ERU's. That was a shortage of $292.97. Ms. Spencer stated that based on a summary of the connection fees and estimated user fees, West Haven owed Roy City $8,505.26 in user fees since 1997. There were also 55 users connected to Roy's system that had not paid connection fees. They were the ones Mayor Wayment had asked that the City waive fees for. Ms. Spencer believed there were also some additional septic users that would be affected by the waiver. During her review, she noticed that there were two commercial sites that the City wasn't showing on its user list. They were the seminary building at Rocky Mountain Junior High and the Kanesville Stake Center. She did not know if the seminary building was included in the ERU's and connection fees for Rocky Mountain Junior High or whether connection fees were paid on the Kanesville Stake Center. In March of 2000, she reviewed West Haven's records and found it very difficult to track whether Roy City was getting all of the connection fees it was due. Their reports conflicted as to the lot which the connection fee was for, owners, permit numbers, etc. Her research showed 311 different listings for property. Without doing an actual inspection of each location, she felt it would be difficult to determine if the City had received all connection fees due. Councilman Cordova stated that Mayor Wayment initially asked that connection fees for 70 homes be waived due to failing septic systems. The City Council wanted to help them. It appeared there were two separate issues. Cathy Spencer said they were all part of the same issue. When the City Council considered waiving connection fees, it wanted to make sure West Haven was up-to-date on its payment of user fees. Councilman Smith did not feel the City Council should waive connection fees for 70 homes until West Haven straightened out its accounting. He suggested that this matter be tabled until the accounting could be settled. Mayor Wayment stated that West Haven did not provide a lot of the services that other cities did. It was difficult for them to track. He felt West Haven was pretty close. They had made some repayments. He reminded the City that it waived the impact fees for the schools. Councilman Smith agreed that Roy City needed to be neighborly. However, he felt the accounting needed to be straightened out before the Council took any action on waiving the connection fees. That was the legal and ethical thing to do. Councilman Smith moved to table consideration of impact fee waivers for West Haven City until an agreement on the accounting was reached. Councilman Cordova seconded the motion. Councilman Cordova asked if any of the 70 homes were in a critical situation. Mayor Wayment said 55 of the 70 homes were already on Roy's system. The others were critical enough that West Haven was going to begin putting their sewage in Roy's system. If West Haven had to pay impact fees for them it would. Councilman Tafoya asked if West Haven's sewer system would be ready by August. Mayor Wayment said that was the target date. West Haven was willing to increase the wheeling fee for the 70 homes if Roy City waived the impact fee. North Davis Sewer had waived its impact fee. In return, West Haven had agreed to pay them an additional $10 a month user fee. Councilwoman Becraft asked if the City Council could waive the impact fee subject to the staff working out the accounting. Councilman Smith felt the City needed to be run like a business. He felt the books should be straightened out. Councilman Tafoya made a substitute motion to waive the impact fees for 70 homes in West Haven subject to them paying a double wheeling fee and subject to the staff being satisfied with the accounting. If the staff wasn't satisfied, the impact fees would not be waived. Councilwoman Becraft seconded the motion. Councilwoman Becraft felt there needed to be more cooperation on the part of West Haven. Chris Davis suggested that West Haven contact the culinary water providers for the connections and determine when their water was turned on. Mayor Wayment asked that this matter be tabled until Roy City was comfortable with the accounting. Councilman Tafoya withdrew his substitute motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye"
on the original motion. The motion carried. |

APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NO. 752 AMENDING THE PERSONNEL POLICY RELATING TO POLICE OVERTIME Police Chief Greg Whinham stated that the City currently received $34,000 to $38,000 a year from outside grants. The grants considered the shifts overtime and required that officers be paid time and a half. Because of the way the City's Personnel Policy was written, officers weren't paid time and a half, and the Police Department was having a difficult time filling the shifts. Chief Whinham recommended that the City Council amend the Personnel Policy to provide overtime provisions in the Police Department. Chief Whinham and Chris Davis responded to questions from the Council. Councilman Tafoya moved to approve Resolution No. 752 amending the Personnel Policy to provide overtime provisions for the Roy City Police Department. Councilman Cordova seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Council members Becraft, Smith, Tafoya, and Cordova voted "aye." The motion carried. (Copy filed for record). |
