CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP

Mayor Fridal called the July 17, 2018 City Council Workshop to order at 5:33 p.m. The meeting was held in the City Council Meeting Room at 102 South Tremont Street, Tremonton, Utah. Those in attendance were Mayor Fridal, Councilmembers Doutre, Holmgren, Reese, Rohde, and Vance, City Manager Warnke, and City Recorder Nessen. The following Department Heads were also present: Parks and Recreation Director Marc Christensen, Public Works Director Paul Fulgham, Police Chief Kurt Fertig (arrived at 6:15 p.m.), and Treasurer Sharri Oyler.

1. Discussion of draft Vision Statement, Mission Statement, Values, and Pillars for Tremonton City – Councilmember Rohde

Councilmember Rohde, Manager Warnke, and Director Christensen have worked to create a vision, mission statement and values for the City. They provided the Council with an update. Councilmember Rohde said a vision is an aspiration description of what an organization would like to achieve in the mid or long-term future. This is something that does not change. This is what we came up with: Tremonton City, a community of excellence that honors its heritage and its commitment toward enhancing the present with a strategic focus on the future. Councilmember Rohde said the Council can add or change items. It includes the past, present and future.

Councilmember Rohde said the mission statement is a shorter term of the organization’s purpose, identifying the goal of its operations and should support the vision statement. Tremonton City is a vibrant community that has a physical and social sense of place and character, which is obvious and uniquely Tremonton’s. It is a city which resounds with the public, a place that residents are proud of and a place that non-residents want to move to. Councilmember Doutre said the idea is good, but I do not like the word obvious. Councilmember Holmgren said I think some of the wording just needs to be simplified.

Councilmember Rohde said next are the values, which help us hold people accountable to certain expectations. This includes citizens, councilmembers, the mayor and employees. We came up with the acronym MERIT, which could be used as a merit system for evaluations. Motivation: readiness to act, being proactive, engaged in seeking solutions, also having initiative to take on additional responsibilities and welcome new opportunities, techniques and approaches. Excellence: deliver a superior level of commitment, responsiveness, performance and provision of service to all, with the attitude that everything is worth our best effort. We will provide efficient and effective service with a courteous and professional attitude. It also means being informed, timely and open to complaints and requests. Responsibility: mastering your job, taking ownership of your work, product and meeting deadlines. It also means being reliable, dependable and accountable for your decisions and actions. Integrity: demonstrate uncompromising allegiance to the core values of honesty, respect for others, loyalty, consistency, accountability and sincerity. Team: working together to support each other and the community by carrying out City Council policies. It also means sharing information across departments, aligning processes, and fostering innovation. We will work together demonstrating collaboration through mutual reliability, openness and flexibility to accomplish our goals.

Councilmember Reese said you guys have put a lot of time into this. Councilmember Doutre said I would throw the whole values thing out. It looks like it came straight out of a dictionary and does not mean a thing. Councilmember Rohde said it does if we hold everyone accountable to it. Councilmember Doutre said I worked in an HR office and you had to have something you can measure. Councilmember Reese suggested that Councilmember Doutre go on this team and help them. He said they have put a ton of time into this. You have to hear them out before we blow this apart. Councilmember Doutre said she likes the pillars, but not the values. Manager Warnke said they are meant to be broad in a way as you start to drill down toward implementation then we can be more specific. We have employee evaluations annually that occur in written form. We have been using the same form for nine years and it is no longer fresh or relevant. We need new guidelines and measuring. These are questions we could use to measure employees performance and coincides with merit raises. We would take these values and write specific measuring statements and rate them accordingly. He welcomed Councilmember Doutre to participate in their meetings. This is a report of what we have put together and we need feedback to guide us and help shape it. Councilmember Holmgren said I think we are going down the right road. I am impressed. Mayor Fridal said he likes the whole thing, but questioned what “demonstrating collaboration through mutual reliability” meant. Manager Warnke said we tried to find a universal term that is easily understood. If some of these phrases are not then we want to change the wording.

Councilmember Rohde then talked about the five pillars that support the whole system. Vibrancy is where we would do revitalizations and new investments—creating a sense of place, public art, gathering spaces, restaurants, entertainment and historical preservation. Development would be the center of retail for the Bear River Valley. This is economic opportunities, transportation, and land use planning. Stewardship is preserving and enhancing our physical environment and natural resources, fiscal management, emergency and disaster preparedness, infrastructure and utility management, and assuring the public is informed. Health, Safety and Welfare is a big one. This includes safety in the community and employee safety. This is also the health and wellbeing of individuals and families. It could include organized recreation and leisure programming, open spaces, parks and trails. Excellence in the work product, continuous improvement in work, and value in service options. We have a vision, the mission statement, the pillars and then under them are subcategories that work in those pillars. We need goals for each pillar and the City Council could work with the front line staff to do so. We would have a time frame to accomplish those with each department working on ways to reach that goal. We would have to have a way to measure this. He gave an example of creating a safety index, which could be improved each year. This will give focus and help us work toward common goals. Councilmember Vance said he liked the idea of measuring their progress with the goals they have in place. This will help us prioritize so when we have excess money at the end of the year we will know where to put it. You have done awesome, thanks for all your time and effort. Mayor Fridal said to give them at least a month to review this and come back with ideas. Councilmember Rohde said they could get together for lunch and go over goals as a Council, as well as with the department heads. Manager Warnke said I do think progress is made when you put something on paper. We can come up with goals and talk to the department heads to get their input, which would be brought back to the Council. The Council was asked to go through it and come back with ideas.

2. Discussion and review of tasks, policies, strategies, and issues surrounding the implementation of a pressurized secondary water system within Tremonton City’s incorporated limits

No discussion on this item.

3. Discussion and review of agenda items on the 7:00 City Council Meeting Agenda

Recorder Nessen asked how they liked the shortened version of the financial statements (16 pages instead of hundreds). The Council liked it, but Councilmember Vance suggested having the summarized version, as well as the complete version in case they want to dive deeper. Recorder Nessen said she could easily run both reports.

The Council discussed a special event permit for Break the Silence of Suicide and Bullying a community awareness event in August. Director Christensen said this is a group of concerned citizens, who work with prevention coalitions, that would like to do a community awareness event at Jeanie Stevens Park with food trucks, a kick ball tourney, booths and live entertainment. They have not planned anything that concerns me. I told them we do not allow inflatable bounce houses if it is not our event due to insurance reasons. Manager Warnke said there is a process in our ordinance that issues a special event permit and if you approve the event these are the conditions that Director Christensen is recommending coincide with it. Director Christensen said I asked about liability insurance, but I did not know if the Council would request she have it or not. She said the Brigham City Suicide Coalition would be able to, but this is not under them, it is a group of citizens. We are not charging anything for the park, just $25 for the stage and a $200 deposit in case they leave it trashed. Councilmember Doutre said we would be covered wouldn’t we? Manager Warnke said they could sue us if there is some incident. The hard part with some of these special events and getting short term insurance is that it is difficult for these organizations to get. They can get temporary insurance through our insurance, but it is expensive. We can look at the risk and weigh it. If there is any part of the event you are uncomfortable with we could avoid it. Director Christensen said he is not too concerned with liability and the City will groom the fields.

Manager Warnke talked about a ground lease agreement between Tremonton City and Verizon Wireless. He said Verizon is installing small-scale cell towers. They wanted to install three along Main Street in Tremonton, but two are on a private property and they are working with those owners. The one on City property would be south of the fire station on the dirt patch between the tennis courts and the police station. There is already some utility there and UTOPIA has a cabinet. We did a concept previously, but this is the actual lease agreement. He showed pictures of the tower, which is seven-inches in diameter, two-foot wide, and 30-feet tall.

Recorder Nessen led the discussion on amending a professional services agreement between the City and Jessica Tanner for the creation of written minutes. She said we thought it was time to update this because we have added the Arts Council and the Historic Preservation Commission. It would cost an extra $1,200 a year and she would be paid $1,100 rather than the $1,000 each month. Mayor Fridal said has it been a lot more work? Recorder Nessen said the Arts Council has been. We were planning on them meeting a few times a year and they met a lot more than that recently. Councilmember Rohde said we met a lot to get the chalk art thing going, but I do not think we need to be as specific in our minutes. Manager Warnke said there are some basic requirements and we have attached those to the actual contract. With meetings like the Arts Council it can be a little simpler and less detailed, but some public bodies, like City Council and Planning Commission, there is more scrutiny and there needs to be more detail. There is quite a bit of work each month that is tedious and time consuming. That is what makes it a benefit to the City because it frees up City staff to do other things. She is a good fit. Councilmember Doutre asked about average hours. Recorder Nessen said she listens to the entire meeting (two to three hours) and we decided it takes about two hours to type an hour of minutes. Manager Warnke said we did a formula and it came up to about $20 an hour. We thought that was fair based on the type of work and skill set. Councilmember Reese said my concern is when we developed these committees it was no money, but now the money is coming in. This should have been brought up in the beginning. We should have been told that we have an Arts Council minute taker and it is going to cost us this amount of money. This is nothing against Ms. Tanner. Manager Warnke said I thought it was clear, but maybe there was a miscommunication. Councilmember Reese said as a City we should not have forgotten to bring that up. We needed to say this is what it will cost the citizens. Manager Warnke said you bring up a good point because there is City staff involved with supporting these public bodies. Councilmember Reese said we should look at that when we develop these committees. Councilmember Vance asked about the Historical Committee. Manager Warnke said we have not met yet, but are now certified and the National Park Services recognizes us as a Certified Local Government. We need to meet and start the process.

They then discussed amending a Federal Aid Agreement to increase the construction budget. Manager Warnke said this is the 1000 west project where we are doing dedicated right turn lanes next to Archibald’s and Maverik’s property line. Before you start the project you have an engineer’s estimate and make sure it matches the funds that have been appropriated. Right before bidding you go through the same process. With the cost of construction increasing the bids are higher than the budget. This meant we needed to go back and see if we could get additional funding from the CMAC funds and they were able to add $130,000. We have a share of the project cost, which is 6.77%. Previously we had an obligation of $43,000, which is now closer to $53,000. Since the budget fell short we needed to figure out how to come up with the shortfall and were able to do that financially, with the exception of the City having to cover its share. This formalizes it.

They then discussed acquisition of temporary construction easements at the intersection. Manager Warnke said we have been working with an acquisition agent because there are some temporary construction easements that are needed along the frontage of the properties that will have those improvements (Maverik, O’Reilly, Archibald’s and a residential home). He showed the Council the parcel size and amount paid. We did get an appraisal for the fee simple acquisitions. Maverik and O’Reilly have greater improvements compared to Archibald’s. We came up with a settlement of $5,000, which is part of the price you see, that would come from the City funds. The rest is from the CMAC Funds. Councilmember Reese asked about Exhibit E. Manager Warnke said it is the parcel where the shed sits north of the alley on Archibald’s property. Councilmember Reese said did we pay for the shed? Director Fulgham said yes, the City paid for the portion we will remove. Manager Warnke said Archibald’s had a legitimate concern with access, but came to terms with it. We met on site with them and Director Fulgham used great logic. We ended up keeping an access north of the sheds so they have the ability to get their trucks in without hurting their operations or impacting the turning lane. Mayor Fridal asked about the time frame of the project. Director Fulgham said it would go out to bid this fall and start next spring. Since it is a federal highway it is a longer process. Councilmember Vance asked about the clearance from the shed to the road, which is about 10 feet. He also asked about EPA standards and Director Fulgham said they got a clean bill of health and everything is good in the area with no underground tanks.

Director Christensen told the Council they made Zach LeFevre the Recreation and Community Events Manager last year and thought it would be good fiscal management to let him sign off on POs up to $1,000.

Recorder Nessen told the Council about a proposed fee change for the cemetery. She said we did a survey of different cemeteries in the state to see what everyone else is charging for lots, along with opening and closing fees. We were a little low, but closer than we thought. We are proposing a slight increase. Director Fulgham said the City averages 30 burials a year, but had 53 burials last year. They have found that non-residents are being sent here because the fees are lower. Councilmember Rohde said are we concerned about running out of space? Director Fulgham said in the future. The City could open up another section to the west. If we expand it will cost about $150,000 for each section by the time we build the road, a sprinkler system and add sod. Recorder Nessen said residents pay $400 right now and we suggest bumping that up to $500 per plot. Non-residents would go from $800 to $900. For opening fees we charge $200 on weekdays for residents, but that would increase to $400. For weekends and holidays we charge $275, which would go up to $600. For non-residents the cost would be $600 for weekdays and $800 for weekends and holidays. Councilmember Reese said I do not see a problem with it. Councilmember Holmgren said how much are we taking out of the General Fund to support this? Director Fulgham said he could look into it. Manager Warnke said this is an ongoing cost. The City has the responsibility to maintain the cemetery and it gets expensive. Our mow contract is $85,000 because there is a lot of hand mowing. Director Christensen said they charge more per acre for the cemetery than any other place.

The Council then discussed fair parade viewing regulations. Councilmember Reese said how are we going to enforce it. Director Fulgham said we hope to educate the public through the four local papers (Ogden, Logan, Brigham and Tremonton). They also plan to put something on social media. We will pick up stuff and have a place for it by the Police Department. Every year after the parade we pick up rocks, logs, bricks and other things people haul in to weigh down their quilts. Each year we set out “no parking” signs and on the back will be the City ordinance reference. Manager Warnke said this tells the public when the appropriate time is. No one knows when they should be putting their items out. If there is an issue where people believe they reserved a spot it clearly states that your spot is only reserved if you are occupying it. Chief Fertig said we get a lot traffic hazard calls. Tarps blow in the road and chairs fall over. We spend a lot of nights just cleaning stuff up. A lot of theft calls will be avoided. I think citizens will appreciate not having to spend the night outside trying to reserve a spot knowing they can start in the morning. Councilmember Rohde asked if this was only on public property. Director Fulgham said this is all along the parade route—park strips are public property. Manager Warnke said residents are trying to maintain their park strips and people staking claim too early makes it difficult to do that. The Council agreed it was a good idea.

Motion by Councilmember Doutre to move into closed session. Motion seconded by Councilmember Holmgren. Vote: Councilmember Doutre – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Reese – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

Tony Blankenship wondered about getting a permit to open a tattoo shop in Tremonton. Manager Warnke said it would go through a process where the Planning Commission could make recommendations and the City Council would then decide. Councilmember Doutre asked about location. Mr. Blankenship said they do not have a location in mind, but do like the idea of being along Main Street. He added that they could provide reverences. They have been in business for 15 years, but recently relocated. Manager Warnke said they would need to give public notice and go through the state process. He would talk to Administrator Bench and contact them.

Ms. Rutherford said we are acting as community members for our break the silence event and are asking for permission to get the permit. We have food trucks, craft booths, a kick ball tournament, light entertainment and resources from community partners. Councilmember Doutre said I think it sounds wonderful. I am glad you are doing it. Councilmember Holmgren said would they have any insurance for the event? Manager Warnke said they have applied for a special events permit and the Council will decide on that. The biggest issue is insurance. It is the best practice that the City has additional insurance for special events on City property. Ms. Rutherford said if that is required the Brigham City Suicide Prevention could provide some insurance. Manager Warnke said otherwise the conditions are pretty straightforward. Ms. Rutherford said power around the stage and for vendor booths would be needed. Councilmember Rohde asked about signage and having Tremonton City as a sponsor for letting them use the park. Ms. Rutherford said they would add the City’s logo to their Facebook event.

Motion by Councilmember Doutre to issue a special event permit for Break the Silence of Suicide and Bullying to these community members. Motion seconded by Councilmember Reese. Vote: Councilmember Doutre – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Reese – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

j. Discussion and consideration of adopting Ordinance No. 18-09 regulating the claiming or reserving of public property as a location or position for viewing or observing a parade or special event

Councilmember Rohde said are we going to be a little lenient this year? Mayor Fridal said we have time to let the public know. Councilmember Rohde said I think it is a great idea, but we need to make sure the public is well aware. Councilmember Doutre said by putting this out we will save trouble, but if people do not know about it there will be trouble.

7. Calendar Items and Previous Assignment

a. Review of calendar

Manager Warnke mentioned City Days on July 20-21, as well as the Utah League of Cities and Towns Conferences on September 12-14. Recorder Nessen has booked everyone a room, but they need to register for the training.

Director Christensen went over the Council’s obligations for City Days. On Friday night they will serve at the community dinner and be there by 5:30 p.m. to setup. The Movie in the park will follow. Saturday they need to help with breakfast at 7:30 a.m. Councilmember Holmgren would be the MC on Saturday for bingo and family contests at 12:45 p.m. Director Fulgham was asked to judge the BBQ contest at 4:30 p.m.

The Council agreed to put in an application for the fair parade and needs to come up with a song for their lip sync during Peach Days on September 7.

b. Review of past assignment

8. Reports & Comments:

a. City Manager Reports and Comments
b. Land Use Report and Comments

1. Density and Future Land Use Plan
2. Draft Tremonton City Transportation Plan

Manager Warnke said we have completed the draft of the Transportation Plan. The Planning Commission reviewed it and gave recommendations that we tried to address. It is available for the Council’s review and will be ready for approval during the August 7 meeting. Now that we have a Transportation Plan I do think it is worth creating a Land Use Plan. This would help the board and applicants decide where we would like to see different densities and land uses. A future Land Use Plan would show areas within the City you might consider for rezoning. It would also show a city’s land outside of the current limits to zone upon annexation for a specific zone. This would help developers, the Land Use Authority Board, Planning Commission, and City Council.

He also mentioned that he has a concept plan of the annexation that is pending—we are working toward finalizing the Crossroads Ranches.

c. City Department Head Reports and Comments
d. Council Reports and Comments

Councilmember Vance thanked Councilmember Rohde, Manager Warnke, and Director Christensen for taking the time to pull the information together for a mission statement, vision, and values.
