CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP
Mayor Fridal called the December 5, 2017 City Council Workshop to order at 5:20 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, Rohde, and Vance, City Manager Warnke, and City Recorder Nessen. The following Department Heads were also present: Public Works Director Paul Fulgham, Police Chief David Nance, and Treasurer Sharri Oyler. Also in attendance were: City Engineer Chris Breinholt. Councilmember Reese was excused.
1. Culinary Water Capacity Report – Chris Breinholt, City Engineer and Paul Fulgham, Public Works Director
City Engineer Chris Breinholt reviewed his Culinary Water Capacity Report with the Council. There are currently 2,472 residential water meters and 222 commercial/industrial meters in the City. The City currently has water storage capacity of 5,101,334 gallons with a total required production for peak day demand of 6.10 million gallons, which is not in compliance. The City is compliant on storage as the total required storage is 3.61 million gallons and our system has total storage of 5.10 million gallons.
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 which may include, but is not limited to:
Guiding principles, parameter, and objectives to aid in or affect decision making for implementing secondary water
Other matters pertaining to the creation of policy and completion of tasks associated with the implementation of a pressurized secondary water system
Filtration and quality of the water provide to each user
Cost as compared to what they are currently paying versus what they will be paying in the future
The cost difference of a partial build out versus a full build out
Impact that this plan will have on the City’s water consumption and efforts to conserve.
Implementation of Pressurized Secondary Water System plan/chart
Councilmember Rohde stated in 2017, his average water bill was $56 compared to a $30 average in 2016 and asked if the City came up with ways to put that extra revenue toward a secondary water system and if that revenue was built into the formula that has been derived to figure out how much money the City needs to come up with. Manager Warnke said an analysis has not been done yet on revenue versus secondary. Councilmember Rohde said that would be important for the Council to know because it could change the estimated monthly cost for individual residents. Councilmember Rohde stated the City made a 25% increase in revenues last year, which is a fairly substantial increase, and asked how much of that can be captured and calculated as part of the secondary water formula.
Councilmember Vance asked about bond revenue. Finance Director Curtis Roberts has put together a spreadsheet projecting rates based upon meeting a minimum debt service coverage of 125% for the bond covenants. Manager Warnke said we can still figure—when we get to the bonding decision—what we pledge and how we structure it. There are a lot of scenarios we can come up with as far as putting a package together. We do not want the Council to get lost in that monthly number. Right now the City charges $14.10 per month for those who have secondary water and we know that is not covering the actual operational cost and that number needs to increase.
Councilmember Rohde asked what a debt service is. Councilmember Vance said the City would have to prove they could cover the debt plus another 25% above what the debt is. He explained if you have a debt of $100, the bank wants to see $125 of revenue coming in. Manager Warnke said the City would show financial statements annually to the bank to prove the City is meeting the debt service ratio based upon net income from cash flow. Councilmember Vance said that is just to qualify for the loan. The excess could be used to start paying against the debt quicker. Manager Warnke said Finance Director Roberts’ spreadsheet shows the expected cash flows. If the low monthly rate is adopted, the debt service is projecting $775,000 and the operating income is only $556,000. When the City begins to discuss bonds in depth, we could look at a 20-year bond versus a 30-year bond. The culinary system has a life expectancy of about 30 years so there are things to keep in mind as we start thinking about a bond and its length versus how it is structured.
Councilmember Rohde asked about growth. Manager Warnke said the City uses the same population estimates for everything, which is about 2% and has proven to be a nice curve for the City’s current growth. Councilmember Vance said the City is growing. Councilmember Rohde said it is a matter of sustaining that growth. Councilmember Holmgren asked more about bonding. Councilmember Vance said the typical rate is about 4% depending on the years for the loan. If the amount bonded is above $10 million, the rate will go up because it is more of a risk. Councilmember Holmgren said we keep batting around the $13 million figure and asked if the cost of water shares is included in that figure. Manager Warnke said they are included.
Councilmember Vance asked about the numbers to pump secondary water to Spring Acres and if that figures in a filtering system. Director Fulgham said we already use a filtering system on Spring Acres and Jeanie Stevens Park, which uses a 200-300 micron, mesh filter that is self cleaning and works off pressure. Councilmember Rohde asked why we still get shells in the line. Director Fulgham said larva gets in and grows on the other side of the filter, but flushing through a chemical treatment once a year would help. Councilmember Holmgren said we pushed the idea of a sand media filter—they are full of sand and clean really well, but more than we need them to. The problem is we are pulling in raw water from the canal that will work on the sand over time and the filter will lose its ability to filter correctly. It was recommended the City use the stream type and that is what Director Fulgham has been using. It is U.S. made so the parts are easier to get. This way, residents will not have to modify their sprinkling system. However, those with drip irrigation would require additional filtering. This filter system will clean itself every so often and takes about 15 seconds to wash out. There was a concern that the system would have to slow down or be shutdown during this time, but that will not be the case. It would have a continuous flow for whatever the demand is. Director Fulgham said we have already budgeted for the filter system. Councilmember Holmgren said we do not have hard numbers on how much these cost, but are about $25,000 per unit and will move a lot of water through. Director Fulgham said the filter at Jeanie Stevens has been there since 2001 and really the only thing he has had to replace is a solenoid valve and pressure differential switch. Councilmember Vance asked if citizens will not have to have their own filter. Director Fulgham said his recommendation to citizens in Spring Acres is to put their own filter ahead of their system. Engineer Breinholt said sometimes with these filters the algae can grow on the other side of the filter and plug things up. Councilmember Holmgren said this filter would take care of mussels and larva, but they might have to run a chemical through it every so often.
Councilmember Vance said we still need to answer the question on the $10 million figure and if the water share prices are included. Engineer Breinholt said the construction costs of areas 1-5 is $9.2 million—construction costs for areas 1-12 is $15 million. Councilmember Holmgren asked how much water the City needs and how far it can be stretched as we have talked about one share per irrigated acre, which is half a share. Engineer Breinholt said it will be less than that and we will have the data to tell us that once we get operating. The half share is where we were asked to start by the Canal Company until we have data to prove we use less. Councilmember Holmgren said that is where we may capture water we need. Engineer Breinholt said depending on the standard we use, we will have a minimum of 451 shares and a maximum of 752. When the data comes in, we will be closer to 451. Councilmember Holmgren said the City should talk to the Canal Company about using the discharge water from the Wastewater Treatment Plant. If we can show them that the water going into the canal from the Treatment Plant is cleaner than what is already in there or that we are not adding to the problem, it may help. Councilmember Vance asked if that amount of water shares is for all pump houses at maximum capacity or just for existing. Engineer Breinholt said that is the amount of shares needed based on data from other pressure irrigation systems on their annual use—based on what people actually used on lawns on this type of setup. The 451 shares is based on what we would actually be using and the 752 is based on farming type requirements. Councilmember Vance asked if it was going to be $10 million or $13 million. Engineer Breinholt said, based on his projections, the cost for all the areas is $15,408,500 for construction only. Manager Warnke said Director Fulgham reduced that number based on what he felt was appropriate.
Councilmember Holmgren said we need to get started so we have a better idea of what is going to take place. We can make a commitment to move forward, but not do it all at once. It will take years to get this done, but having a few areas under our belts will give us a good idea of what the cost is going to be. Councilmember Vance asked if we plan to build out areas 1 and 2, along with half of 3 (for a build out cost of $3.5 million) and if we can do a revenue bond on a partial build out until we get final numbers. Engineer Breinholt said we would do more than half of area 3—that just gets us caught up. Councilmember Holmgren suggested starting with areas 1 through 5. Engineer Breinholt said areas 1 through 5 buys a lot. There has been talk of building the whole system out at once, but in some of these areas the source is so far away and the need is so small that it might not be feasible to build some of these at this point. However, we can shift boundaries in some areas to include more homes (1000 West and 2300 West). Councilmember Holmgren said it is physically impossible to make this happen in a year. We can make a commitment to do the whole thing, but be realistic. Councilmember Vance wondered if a bigger vendor could get the whole project done quicker. Engineer Breinholt said that would be a lot to do. Councilmember Vance said for our constituents we have to be in a position where we have a game plan. We are doing this and the next step we will be doing in x amount of time so residents are not upset because they did not get secondary water right away. Director Fulgham asked why Councilmember Vance thought residents will be upset. Councilmember Doutre said residents do not want to pay for it and not get it. Director Fulgham said the residents are not paying for it and secondary water does not mean cheaper water. We have a lot of infrastructure and we need water shares, but all this means is down the road we still have water for development—good, high grade culinary water that we are going to quit putting on lawns. Councilmember Vance said we have to explain that to the residents because they will see that we are not giving it to them. Treasurer Oyler said there are residents right now that have secondary and not everyone is billed for it. Director Fulgham said adjustments can be made for those who have it and those who do not, just like they do with multiple garbage cans and recycle cans.
Manager Warnke said sometimes when important decisions need to be made there is value in crafting a public policy document that explains why a decision was made and lists the reasons in resolution form. We can get them all together and have a public consensus of why we are doing what we are doing and know what the objectives are. People can then ask questions and the Council will have a clean, concise response to them.
Councilmember Rohde said he is the kind of person that likes the unlimited plan and will pay extra for unlimited even if he uses less, but as a user, he can use as much as he wants versus having it metered. Director Fulgham said he looks at the bang for the buck. We sat down and said areas 1 through 5 are the best bang for the City’s buck. We can move more people off the system and free up more culinary water for about $9 million than if we spend $13 million to do some that are going to be years away. Councilmember Rohde said if we wait then that $13 million will increase to $25 million and asked if it is easier to absorb now rather than later. Director Fulgham said in Engineer Breinholt’s estimate we did not look at zones 10 and 12. He did not take into consideration the cost to get the easements. We figure that will come with development. Councilmember Rohde said at some point we have to say this is our master plan for secondary water. Even if it is to do areas 1 through 10 and leave that side of the river alone and as soon as we get 450 homes then we start it. As long as it is in the plan that way we can come back and say here is what we are doing and that makes it easy to explain to people instead of saying we will build it whenever. Engineer Breinholt said it is important that we do not make it such a big project that the local contractors cannot build it. We bid a lot of projects in Ogden and the numbers we get down there are far different than the numbers we get from these local guys. They can do it, but not all at once. I do not know anybody who could—they would have to have an assortment of workers. The price, if you tried to do it all at once, would be a lot higher.
Councilmember Rohde asked when it comes to bonding, if we bond 1 through 5 or 1 through 8, if it is hard to keep adding money as you grow or would that be a separate bond. Manager Warnke said there are different ways to structure and finance it. Director Fulgham said cities do this all the time. They do one project and then another. They come to the board with multiple projects years apart. Mayor Fridal said on the water board we blend the old loan into a new loan. Councilmember Vance said it depends where the money is coming from. Councilmember Rohde asked how can we get to the point where we have a master plan that says when your zone is brought into the system this is how much it will cost you and our plan is to do areas 1 through 5, then 6 through 8 and finally 9 through 12. As we get certain numbers then we could move forward. Director Fulgham said we have the Capital Facility Plan that shows everything that needs to be done, but that is up to the Council to decide how much is to be done. We will then come up with a number and go to the lending people to see what it will cost us. Then we can come up with the rate. We have talked about using some of our money to help buy the rate down and then we hope as the system grows we can maintain the additional pieces at the same rate without rate adjustments.
Councilmember Holmgren said we could have a pretty good idea laid out. Engineer Breinholt said we could do areas 1 through 5 and tweak the lines on 1 and 3 to include 1000 West and 2300 West so we are reaching 90% of the rooftops. Manager Warnke asked the Council to keep the water shares in mind. That is a limited factor and we need to acquire the shares before we put in the service. Councilmember Rohde said we need to decide we are doing it before we buy the shares. Manager Warnke said we need to be actively pursuing and buying shares as they become available. The goal is to get off the culinary system, starting now to acquire shares. Councilmember Rohde said if it is unaffordable to the customer we are not going to do secondary water—we are going to have to find a different way. Each customer cannot pay $50 to $60 extra—they cannot afford that and that is a deal breaker. I feel like we are placing the cart well before the horse by buying the shares now versus knowing if it is affordable. Manager Warnke said we are close. Councilmember Vance said we need to polish the numbers. We came up with 472 shares for the whole build out, but how many for areas 1 through 5 or 1 through 8, that would help us to start figuring out what the cost would be to the customer before we pull the trigger on buying shares. Manager Warnke said we have a great engineering plan, but not a great public policy plan. A lot of policy decisions have yet to be made. We need to come up with a public policy plan that declares what the intent and objectives are. From my perspective, it is securing our water security immediately and into the future. We need to come up with a consensus as a Council of that public policy declaration and the plan. Councilmember Rohde mentioned that we try to have specific standards and if it meets that criteria then we will build out the next phase. That could be included in the policy plan. Next we could determine how we are going to finance it.
Director Fulgham said no matter where we proceed in the future, we have to have those water shares. The State Engineer’s Office requires us to have water rights to drill a well. We are going to have to turn over our shares to get rights or money to buy rights, but it will all come back to water for water. We need to acquire shares now for secondary or to drill a well or we have to stop development. We need those shares—they are as good as water rights. Councilmember Rohde asked how they are going to finance the shares. Councilmember Holmgren said we would need to come up with 356 shares for 1 through 5 and we own 136 shares and asked how far we can stretch this water. Engineer Breinholt said 356 is the stretched number. We are close, but would need to find a couple hundred shares. The project cost for phases 1 through 5 is $9.2 million and we need 356 shares for existing development, while new development will bring their own shares. We have 136 shares, which leaves us with 220 shares needed. Cost is about $3,500 for a share so we need $770,000 and then add in the project costs of $9,233,045, which will be close to $10 million for areas 1 through 5 to get 90% of the rooftops. Tweaking the boundary lines at 2300 West and 1000 West will add a little bit more cost. That will create a residential cost of $37.50 a month. Manager Warnke said in the next meetings, we will work on getting the rates figured out and then work on financing. The best-case scenario will be about $7 million and the worse case is about $10 million to do areas 1 through 5. Councilmember Holmgren said $9.2 million for construction with another million for water shares is doable. Director Fulgham said we could build this in the next three years. The whole project will take a couple seasons, but it does not all have to be built today just enough to start alleviating the pressure and in the mean time we can acquire shares.
Councilmember Vance said he would like to have a meeting to discuss prices and solidify the numbers so the Council can see the total build out with the needed shares to purchase (for areas 1 through 5, then areas 1 through 8, as well as the entire build out). We could then determine what the cost would be for the citizens. For areas 1 through 5 the cost will be $37.50 a month. Councilmember Rohde said this is close to a wash—that’s a no brainer. It is easy to say it will not cost more. Councilmember Vance said it boils back to financing because according to the cash flow, we have to show $50 per month coming from each one to be able to service at 125%. Councilmember Rohde said it shows that at $37.50 it gives us 125% on zones 1 through 5. Councilmember Vance said he is still looking at the whole picture. Councilmember Doutre asked about doing areas 1 through 8. Engineer Breinholt said we would include the homes in 1 through 7 and then tweak the lines to pick up a few more homes. We would not do the whole pump station for area 8. If we want to pick those up we could, but the boundaries have been drawn to look at what is most beneficial—the most bang for the buck—not worrying about leaving people in or out. The use of the dollar was maximized, but picking those up on 1000 West and 2300 West is a big stretch. If it is about getting more people included then we can.
Councilmember Holmgren said we need to get good numbers on areas 1 through 5. Councilmember Vance said he would like to go further than that. They further discussed acquiring easements and laying pipe for some of the service areas east of the Malad River. Engineer Breinholt said we have made every effort to stay away from the State road because if we dig up their asphalt, the cost escalates quickly. Director Fulgham showed the Council where they could pick up 200 homes, but said we are going to spend a lot of money to do that. Councilmember Vance asked how much it would cost. Director Fulgham said it is an unknown cost—it is a property cost. We can look at what we have paid in the past for easements, but it is all based on acreage. Engineer Breinholt said it is such a high cost for so few homes. Councilmember Rohde said once we hit a certain point of population in that area then we can say it makes sense to do it.

b. Review of past assignments
The Council was asked to continue their effort for a mission statement and values for the City. Councilmember Rohde plans to continue emailing the Council for their input.
7. Council Business:
a. Discussion and consideration of approving the October Financial Statements
Motion by Councilmember Rohde to approve the October Financial Statements. Motion seconded by Councilmember Vance. Vote: Councilmember Doutre – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.
b. Discussion and consideration of approving Resolution No. 17-55 authorizing the City’s participation with Interstate Land Holding, LLC in the extension of an 8” sewer line on 2000 West to 1000 North
Manager Warnke said several weeks ago Val Stokes petitioned the Council about project improvements he was being asked to make. City policy and ordinances prohibit impact fees and enterprise funds from participating in private improvements, but Councilmember Doutre had a good idea. Since we have property that will benefit from this extension of the sewer lines (five acres on 2000 West slated for a fire station) the idea is for the City to participate on a good neighbor basis improvement that we will benefit from. The City would pay their potion of that benefit, which Director Fulgham calculated based off the City’s frontage. The cost was $5,300 for the open trench for the sewer line. To be clear, the City is not required to do this, it is more or less at the request of Mr. Stokes and for the Council’s consideration. It does not set any precedence. We could have other requests, but this protects our ordinances and current policy we have for participating in project improvements. Mr. Stokes could try to negotiate for higher, but that is the formula and basis we would use. Councilmember Vance said it shows action and good faith on our part. We appreciate him coming to Tremonton and opening his business. Mayor Fridal said that is not a huge amount, but shows we are concerned.
Motion by Councilmember Doutre to approve the resolution. Motion seconded by Councilmember Rohde. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Doutre – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.
c. Discussion and consideration of approving Resolution No. 17-56 reaffirming, amending, and enacting new fees and fines in a schedule entitled Tremonton City consolidated fees and fines schedule including, but not limited to, amendments to the business licensing fees for home occupations
Manager Warnke said we had previously amended the fee schedule, but since that time have received additional information and interpretation as it relates to the law. The change is for home-based businesses. We would charge the cost to process the application and renewals would be at no charge for home-based businesses. There are also changes to the language as it relates to garbage can replacement and responsibility to replace. The City owns the cans and when someone purchases a building permit, they pay for a new can. That can is dedicated to the City, who owns and replaces it under normal operating conditions. When it wears out and needs to be replaced due to neglect or something specifically done by the property owner, it becomes their responsibility to replace it. This change clarifies that process. Previously we made changes to the utility ordinance in the dispute process, giving the Mayor a broad range of executive authority to settle disputes. The Mayor can waive a portion of the utility fee or none of it and is the final arbitrator or final judge. We applied that same methodology to all of the disputed fee processes. City staff makes recommendation and tries to work with residents. If there is still a dispute, it could go through the Mayor. Councilmember Doutre asked what the average life of a garbage can is. Director Fulgham said 10 to 20 years and costs about $85. We are steadily replacing them, it just depends how abusive people or the garbage trucks are on them. Most times they wear out because of age.
Motion by Councilmember Holmgren to approve the resolution. Motion seconded by Councilmember Doutre. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Doutre – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.
8. Discussion of values and mission statement – Councilmember Rohde
Councilmember Rohde has sent several emails back and forth between the Council as they work on a mission statement and values for the City. He used ideas from citizens and put together a potential statement that could be changed. He then read it to the Council: “We are committed to improving the quality of life in the City of Tremonton by strengthening our neighbors, delivering superior service, embracing the diversity of our citizens and culture, by making Tremonton a desirable, safe city in which to live, play and work, raise a family, shop, study, and grow.” He said that is too many things to say, but he sent it out to the Council for their help in revising it. We can change the wording and asked for the Council’s help. This is a continual every week thing. We could combine things from the City’s General Plan and modernize it. Some of the values from the General Plan were used to help drive the mission statement. He emailed the Council with five questions, which Manager Warnke gave some great responses to. Those questions include what does our City want to be known for, how do we want to treat each other, what kind of City do we have, what do we want to achieve, and what unique contributions and attributes do we offer. He said he would like to keep moving forward and within the next six months come up with something solid.
9. Reports and Comments
a. City Manager Reports and Comments
Manager Warnke mentioned the wastewater impact fee, the enacting ordinance and adoption of the impact fee facility plan, which will be discussed at the next meeting. There are executive summaries for the Council’s review if there isn’t time to read through the 60 to 70 pages. We will further discuss and have a public hearing to receive additional comments.
b. City Department Head Reports and Comments
There were no department head reports and comments.
c. Council Reports and Comments
Councilmember Vance said he is looking forward to the January 2 meeting. He appreciated all those who have worked on providing numbers for secondary water and helping the Council feel better.
Councilmember Doutre said the Food Pantry has two new electric signs that they are excited about. Director Cathy Newman got a truck load of brand new toys to give out. She said we appreciated her doing that on her own. There are a lot of things going on with our employees that tickle me—just how we help areas around us, especially this time of year.
Councilmember Holmgren asked if we still own the billboard east of Tremonton and if we can take it down. Manager Warnke said the Box Elder Chamber might come forward with a proposal to take advantage of that sign and location. Councilmember Holmgren said we should take it down or fix it right.
Mayor Fridal said he has received several good comments on the Christmas light display.
Motion by Councilmember Vance to move into closed session. Motion seconded by Councilmember Doutre. Vote: Councilmember Doutre – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

Follow-up items for the Council and City Staff
The Council needs to think of mission statement ideas and values for the City. Those ideas need to be sent to Councilmember Rohde, who will send a reminder.
