He had even taken on some long and tough tasks which were completed on time and in a very professional manner. Rick was a team player and always willing to go above that which was asked of him. Rick dealt very well with the public either on a call for service or to answer question they might have while on a demonstration. Rick was a professional and an asset to Roy City and the Fire and Rescue Department.

It would go directly to the New York City fire fighters. The Fire Department would collecting donations from September 20th to October 4th, the end of Fire Fighter's Week. All of the work was being volunteered. So far they had collected roughly $2,000. The local union had agreed to match about $3,000.

What was striking to him was that everyday, firemen and policemen came to work and did not expect to lose their lives. Yet when there was a tragedy, they ran to the center and did what they could to help people. He was proud to be part of such quality people. He was proud to serve the City and would do his best.

DISCUSSION REGARDING HOOPER WATER AGREEMENT

Chris Davis stated that Resolution No. 745 would approve an interlocal agreement with the Hooper Water Improvement District. Hooper Water currently provided culinary water service to homes that were located in Roy City and to which Roy City provided sewer and garbage services. When those residents failed to pay their sewer bills, the City had little leverage other than to send them to collections. This agreement would allow Hooper Water to turn off their water if they became delinquent.

Councilman Tafoya asked if the agreement worked both ways. Mr. Davis said the City did not have anything to offer Hooper Water.

Blake Wahlen stated that this was an example of cooperation. It would make it easier for the City to collect delinquent fees.

Councilwoman Becraft moved to approve Resolution No. 745 approving an interlocal agreement with Hooper Water Improvement District to allow for water shut-offs. Councilman Cordova seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Council members Nakayu, Cordova, Tafoya, Smith, and Becraft voted "aye." The motion carried. (Copy filed for record).

PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER A PETITION TO ESTABLISH RE-20 AND R-1-10 ZONES FOR WAYNE J. AND HELEN B. BEUS, LARRY R. AND DARLENE M. KLIEWER, AND MICHAEL D. AND MARRY JO HANSEN PROPERTIES LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 4182 WEST 6000 SOUTH

Councilman Smith moved to open the public hearing at 6:35 p.m. Councilman Cordova seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

Blake Wahlen stated that the Beus, Hansen, and Kliewer properties had been in limbo for several years. They were trying to annex into Roy City and ended up in the Hooper City incorporation. Through a recent boundary adjustment between Hooper City and Roy City, they were now in Roy. Therefore, zoning needed to be established. The Planning Commission recommended that the front portion be zoned RE-20, and that the back portion be zoned R-1-10 to allow for residential development.

Councilman Tafoya asked about the property just to the west. Chris Davis stated that it was still in Hooper City. West of that was the Olympia Park West Subdivision, which was in Roy City.

Councilman Tafoya asked about the non-conforming animal rights for the Hansen and Kliewer properties. Chris Davis stated that the right to have four large animals would be grand fathered. Normally a property owner could only have two large animals for the first 20,000 square feet. An additional acre was required to have two more.

Mayor Burnett asked if there were any comments from the audience. There were none.

Councilman Cordova moved to close the public hearing at 6:40 p.m. Councilwoman Becraft seconded the motion.

Councilman Nakayu asked how many animals Larry Kliewer currently had. Larry Kliewer said he had one mini horse. He did plan to raise beef and add another mini horse. Councilman Nakayu said the Planning Commission had recommended that both properties be given a non-conforming use for four large animals.

Chris Davis stated that the City Council could not grant a non-conforming use to Larry Kliewer for a use he did not have. Michael Hansen did have four large animals.

Larry Kliewer stated that the Planning Commission said that at any time within year he could have four large animals.

Chris Davis stated that the Planning Commission was wrong. The City Council could not grant Larry Kliewer a non-conforming use that he did not currently have.

Chris Zimmerman stated that Larry Kliewer did have more than four horses. There was only one horse on his property now because the others were in summer pasture. Therefore, the City Council could grant him a non-conforming use for four large animals.

Council members Becraft, Cordova, Nakayu, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried.

Councilman Cordova moved to approve Ordinance No. 866 establishing zones of RE-20 and R-1-10 for the Wayne J. and Helen B. Beus, Michael D. and Mary Jo Hansen, and Larry R. and Darlene M. Kliewer properties which had been annexed into Roy City; subject to the recommendations of the staff; and to grant a non-conforming use for four large animals to Michael Hansen and Larry Kliewer. Councilman Smith seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Council members Smith, Becraft, Nakayu, Tafoya, and Cordova voted "aye". The motion carried. (Copy filed for record).

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT

Chris Davis stated that the staff was still working on negotiations for the pool ground.

Chris Davis stated that Chris Zimmerman and Mark Miller had met with the Herefordshire Homeowners' Association. There was a detention basin on 4400 South and Airport Road, which the City thought it owned. However, it actually belonged to the Herefordshire Homeowners' Association. They had indicated that they were willing to sell the detention basin to the City for $5,000. The City needed the detention basin in order to widen the road. Unless the City Council objected, the staff would work on purchasing the detention basin and bring it back for approval. Councilman Smith felt the Council should allow the staff to move ahead.
