Councilman Tanner moved to approve the minutes of March 18, 2003, as written. Councilwoman Becraft seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, and Tanner voted "aye." The motion carried.

2.

CONSENT AGENDA

Councilman Cordova asked that Item A be removed from the consent agenda. He noted that the siding and roof of the building is aluminum and asked whether there was any criteria in regards to architectural material in an RDA and if the business would be required to follow the existing theme along 1900 West. Chris Davis said that no restrictions exist in regards to architectural material; however, Mark Larson recommended to the proponents that they soften the appearance of the building with wainscoting and canopies which they have agreed to do.

Councilman Tanner expressed concern over the degree of tinting of vehicle windows that is allowed as was addressed in the Planning Commission Minutes. Mr. Steve O'Dell of Dreambuilders, Inc., on behalf of the owners of Glamour Glaze, stated that the degree of tinting is regulated by the state. Councilman Tanner felt that the safety of the public and police officers was at stake if only 43% light admission is required on front door windows and the rear windows can be as dark as one desires. He asked if the County has tighter restrictions than the state in this regard. Andy Blackburn stated that there are no County regulations that he's aware of.

Councilman Cordova moved to approve the consent agenda consisting of; consideration of a Conditional Use Permit and site plan for Steve O'Dell for a window tinting business located at approximately 6020 South 1900 West. Councilwoman Becraft seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova, and Tanner voted "aye." The motion carried.

Steve Rush from Pacific Corporation accepted a plaque from the City for the $30,000 donation. Mr. Rush stated that he was delighted to participate in such a project.

4.

CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 912 ESTABLISHING A ZONE FOR PARCEL A AND PARCEL B OF THE ROY CITY/RIVERDALE CITY COMMON BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT

Mayor Burnett explained that when property was traded with Riverdale City, no zone was set, hence this was a housekeeping item. It is proposed that Parcel A be zoned R-4 and Parcel B be zoned M-1 which is consistent with contiguous zoning.

Councilwoman Becraft moved to approve consideration of Ordinance No. 912 establishing a zone for Parcel A and Parcel B of the Roy City/Riverdale City common boundary adjustment. Councilman Cordova seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken. Council members Becraft, Cordova and Tanner voted "aye." The motion carried.

5.

REVIEW OF PROPOSALS FROM COCA COLA AND PEPSI FOR CONCESSION POURING RIGHTS FOR THE ROY AQUATIC CENTER

Tom Hanson presented formal proposals from Pepsi and Coca Cola. Both are very interested in having the sole pouring rights for the Roy Aquatic Center. Pepsi offered a one time donation of $15,000 with a ten year agreement including menu boards, umbrellas, and other paraphernalia.

Coca Cola offered a five year commitment of $2,500/yr totaling $12,500 and suggested that a better deal could exist at the end of the five years. Included in the offer is advertising, umbrellas, clocks, and an ice machine at their cost. Coke may also entertain the possibility of some support money for signage. Mr. Hanson recommended that the City Council approve the agreement with Coca Cola.

Councilman Cordova asked if an agreement with Coca Cola already exists in relation to Roy Days. Mr. Hanson stated that an agreement does exist with Roy Days and Coca Cola has also contributed to the score boards at West Park; hence, this would be a continuing relationship with Coca Cola.

Councilman Tanner asked for clarification that only juice, bottled water, PowerAde, not carbonated beverages, would be available in the refrigerator. Mr. Hanson explained consideration is being given to a vending machine, possibly just outside the gate. He said that fountain drinks bring a better margin for the City.

Andy Blackburn stated that if the City Council is inclined to contract with Coca Cola, that it be subject to his review and negotiation.

Councilman Cordova moved to accept the recommendation from staff in signing an agreement with Swire Coca Cola for sole pouring rights for the Roy Aquatic Center subject to Counsel review and negotiation. Councilman Tanner seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova and Tanner voted "aye." The motion carried.

Tom Hanson then asked if he could talk to the Council about billboards. He stated that he met with Saunders regarding billboards. Eagle Lakes has agreed to participate in joint billboards. Mr. Hanson explained that there are no great locations south of Roy City facing north for a billboard; however, there is a billboard available that is just north of the Roy exit for southbound traffic. If it is decided that two billboards will be purchased, Saunders would waive the production charge for at least one of the boards.

Councilman Tanner asked if the golf course is using Coke products exclusively. Mr. Hanson said that he is aware that Pepsi has made an offer to the golf course; however, he wasn't aware if a decision had been made. He will talk to Eric Bumstead about the billboards and Coca Cola's possible contribution.

Tom Hanson suggested that one billboard may be effective enough and to have it up for three to four months may be enough to get the word out.

Councilman Tanner suggested that it may be helpful to advertise the Aquatic Center downtown or somewhere other than along I-15. Mr. Hanson said he would address that possibility.

Councilman Cordova felt it was important to get a sign up soon; hence, moved to approve one billboard along I-15 under the direction of Saunders Outdoor Advertising, Inc. Councilman Tanner seconded the motion. Council members Becraft, Cordova and Tanner voted "aye." The motion carried.

6.

RESOLUTION NO. 796 ON AMBULANCE TRANSPORTATION RATES AND CHARGES

Fire Chief Jon Ritchie stated that this resolution is to increase ambulance fees. This generally happens in July; however, in an attempt to recapture some of the loss due to the high number of Medicare patients, Chief Ritchie recommends that the Council adopt the new fee schedule. He confirmed that fees will not rise again this year.

Councilman Tanner moved to approve Resolution No. 796 on ambulance transportation rates and charges. Councilwoman Becraft seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken. Council members Becraft, Cordova and Tanner voted "aye." The motion carried. (Copy filed for record).

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT

Chris Davis reminded the Council of the League meetings that are coming up on April 10th and 11th in St. George.

The fountain at the Village Inn has been tested and is awaiting a sealer before it can be functional. Councilman Tanner said that citizens have approached him with concern about a fountain during the current drought situation. Chris Davis suggested that an article explaining the way the fountain works and recycles water could be put in the next newsletter.

Tommy Smith is markedly better, is undergoing physical therapy and is expected to return soon.

Mr. Davis reported that Mark Miller, City Engineer, was involved in a four-wheeler accident suffering a fractured humerus requiring surgery, a bruised lung, and other more minor injuries. He is doing better and is expected to make a full recovery.

The Roy City Police Department and military are coordinating efforts for the funeral service of Officer James Cawley whose life was lost in Iraq. He will be buried in the Roy City Cemetery.

Tony Reynolds has been on board now for 7 days and is doing well.

Andy Blackburn stated that he is ready to send his work to the Sterling Codifiers. He estimates that it will take several months for them to review the work once they receive it. This information will eventually be available on the Internet.
