| 3. | KENT'S SUBDIVISION, OASIS TANNING SALON BUILDING PERMIT REQUEST Chris Zimmerman stated that there are unoccupied commercial units next to Kent's Market and a tanning salon is requesting occupancy of one of the existing sites. This will require a Conditional Use Permit. The review and Conditional Use Permit approval process to submit to the Planning Commission and City Council will take approximately forty days. The proposed occupants desire to make electrical and other minor improvements to the site in preparation for occupancy that requires a building permit. The proposed occupants are requesting a building permit to make the necessary preparations prior to approval of Conditional Use. This is a deviation from the approval process required by ordinance. Chris Davis stated that the tanning salon will still have to come before the Planning Commission and Council for a Conditional Use Permit.

| 4. | ORDINANCE NO. 905 AMENDING THE ROY CITY ORDINANCES TO EMPOWER THE CITY TO RECOVER COSTS OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS EMERGENCIES, AGGRAVATED FIRE EMERGENCIES AND AGGRAVATED MEDICAL EMERGENCIES Jon Ritchie, Roy City Fire Chief, explained that Ordinance No. 905 has been created to recover costs incurred by Roy City in responding to hazardous materials emergencies, aggravated fire emergencies, and aggravated medical emergencies. According to this ordinance, the Roy City Fire Chief will determine responsibility for the hazardous materials emergency, notify the responsible party and attempt to recover the costs. The responsible party may appeal the Fire Chief's decision in writing. Chief Ritchie stated that Roy City is in the process of becoming part of a task force with Weber County. A couple of Roy City's Fire Department employees are participating in the task force. In order for grant money to be secured by the City, an ordinance must be in place for cost recovery. Chief Ritchie stated that generally, a person's vehicle insurance would cover the cost. Councilman Tafoya asked if this creates a conflict of interest. Andy Blackburn stated that the City has to have an appeals process. This helps eliminate an arbitrary decision made by a department head. All cities have a similar process. Chief Ritchie asked Mr. Blackburn, as he helped draft Ogden City's Ordinance, if there were any problems with it. He stated that as far as he knew, there were never any appeals. Councilman Tafoya moved to approve Ordinance No. 905. Councilman Smith seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken. Council members Becraft, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. (Copy filed for record). Chief Ritchie also updated the Council on covering the previous Ace ambulance territory with Roy City's ambulances. He stated that in 29 days, 24 calls were received, 18 of which were billable. Chief Ritchie stated that one call a day covers the overtime revenue required to cover the new area (West of 900 West in Riverdale). Chief Ritchie stated that Roy City is required to make licensure with the state of Utah in order to cover the new area. This will not be made until Roy City is certain that the system will work and the City will be able to provide the best service possible. Mayor Burnett asked what Riverdale's option will be if Roy City decides not to provide the coverage. Chief Ritchie stated that the state will mandate coverage; however, Roy City would not want to lose the opportunity for continued revenue. Ogden City and South Ogden City would cover the area if Roy decided not to. |

| 5. | CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION APPROVING INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH NORTH DAVIS COUNTY SEWER DISTRICT Andy Blackburn stated that he has reviewed the contract and has questions about the agreement.

Chris Davis suggested that the approval be tabled until a later date. Councilman Smith moved to table consideration of a resolution approving an Interlocal Agreement with North Davis County Sewer District. Councilman Tafoya seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Smith, and Tafoya voted "aye." The motion carried. |
