1. Training on Municipal Officers Ethics Act and Open Meetings Act (approximately 20 minutes)- Jason Watterson, Utah Local Government Trust

Mr. Watterson said the Trust helps local government agencies around the State avoid losses and lawsuits. We do ethics training for City employees and risk assessments to determine what can be improved, but your staff works hard at all levels to ensure the City is running right. You have done an excellent job. Reductions in your premiums are directly due to performance.

The State governs ethics for local government agencies. There are things that may be legal, but are not necessarily ethical acts. The Municipal Officers and Employees Ethics Act is a State law. It regulates and prohibits the use of office for personal benefit. You cannot use your position to personally benefit by means of gifts or offers. Governmental agencies have access to personal information, which needs to be protected. If we use that to be detrimental to someone or help ourselves, that is an illegal act. There are some exceptions. You can accept occasional gifts that are less than $50 in value. You can also accept a public award. He went over a few other things that could be considered unethical, including assistance in transactions for pay or not disclosing conflicts of interest as it relates to business or partnerships. The Council is encouraged to fill out Conflict of Interest Declaration Forms stating those conflicts on an annual basis.

Under the Utah Nepotism Law, Mr. Watterson said no public officer could employ, appoint, vote for, or recommend the appointment of a relative. In small towns that could be a challenge, but it comes down to who is supervising whom. You cannot have an employee or a manager supervising a family member. No public officer may directly supervise an appointee who is a relative. No appointee may accept or retain employment if he is paid from public funds and is under direct supervision of a relative.

There is also House Bill 163 that was passed last year. It affects many different sections, but it is using public property or resources for your own benefit. We all need to be careful about how we use public property. Manager Warnke said we do have a personal use of City property policy that was amended last year. There is an allowance in the law if you have a written policy adopted by your governing board, but there are still limitations that we adapted our policy to require. Mr. Watterson said the answer on any of this is, when in doubt ask and have an open discussion about it. A public servant is guilty of a class B misdemeanor if there is intent to benefit himself or herself, or another, or to do harm.

Mr. Watterson said the Open and Public Meetings Act is something the legislature is serious about. The intent of the legislature is that its agencies and political subdivisions take their actions and conduct their deliberations openly. When the quorum comes together and you convene a public meeting, it needs to be open. It needs to be noticed within an appropriate time frame (at least 24 hours), and have an agenda. You need to keep recordings and minutes, but there are some exceptions. It is fine to go out and socialize at public gatherings, but all deliberations and discussions have to be in the light of the public. We can have those types of discussion, but not ones that lead to our eventual decision. You cannot make a decision outside a public meeting. You can have closed sessions, but there needs to be record kept of who voted for what. There are certain situations where a closed session would need to be recorded, while others would not.

2. Presentation on Public Safety Staffing Analysis (approximately 40 minutes)- Brian Potts, Potts & Associates

Mr. Potts said about eight months ago I looked at the fire department to help determine some options, including merging some things with the fire and police departments. We wanted to get the Councils’ input and have you join the discussion on public safety.

There is concern about call volume, staff availability and what resources you have available to meet those calls. There have been some recruits, but there are challenges in staffing with volunteers, medical leave, turnover, and retirements. The State does not want cities making money off of the ambulance services, but you can put money away for reserves. The State rule states that a licensed ambulance provider’s net income cannot exceed more than 10% of the gross revenue. The City recently had an audit, which determined Tremonton pays over $800,000 in gross revenue for ambulance services and could keep $80,000 in the reserves. However, based on reporting mechanisms, it was over $258,000 according to your cost allocations. There are some concerns of what you are doing with your cost structure for the ambulance service. The state of Utah regulates rates, you can charge below or up to the maximum, but you cannot go over.
An essential service law has been tabled, but it will come back in the legislation after obtaining more information. The law would make emergency medical services essential like fire, police, and garbage. If you hold the license, by law, you cannot make other communities help cover your cost or have a contract with you. You have to provide service for the municipalities around you. This law would change that and make each municipality do their own, contract with another provider, or do a joint service.

Mr. Potts said the fire department needs some full-time positions. The City needs to ensure a timely response and as more things happen at the same time, the City needs to be able to handle those calls for fire, medical, and police. You need to make sure the cost is appropriate and reasonable so there are reserves for the future. Quality service is imperative to handle what comes up and to reduce risk and liability. We have reviewed a lot of data and met with the fire and police departments multiple times to gain their input. In 2010 there was a population of 7,600. Today it is over 9,000. Once a city hits over 7,500 people that changes fire and medial services. You hit that in 2010, but have done great with your volunteers and reserves to keep going. In 2007 there were 646 calls—an average of 1.7 calls per day. Today we average three calls a day. Some days there are none, but other days there are more and those calls can also happen simultaneously. You do not have enough resources and Tremonton services a broad area. Tremonton is your significant area of coverage, but you are taking your resources out of your town to cover other areas for fire and ambulance every hour of the day. There are variables we cannot control, but it is taking more time and time is critical for these services.

The City provided the fire department with a survey and 34 responded. Mr. Potts said 38% of your staff has been here over 20 years. We asked if they believe there is a problem in the fire department with staffing arrangements and how they respond. It showed 80% of the staff said yes. We also asked about their current level of commitment. Were they giving all they could or could they give more. Responses showed 80% are giving all they can or would like to give more, but cannot. The survey asked if we went to a full-time and part-time system would that help increase their commitment. Nearly 30% said it would, almost 50% were undecided and about 20% disagreed that would help. Also would their commitment increase if the City did daytime coverage? Of the responses, 39% said it would help, 27% were undecided and 33% said not at all. More questions determined they have a lack of time due to being busy with family and a conflicting work schedule. We do have some who are retired, but still help out. We also determined the demographic of the fire department and the average age is 49. The three who put in most of the hours are 58 years old. Those over 50 are doing 50% of the work.

Police Chief Fertig said if this goes through and there are extra funds available, they could be used to hire another officer. The City Council did us a huge favor by merging with Garland. The extra manpower has saved us, but we are still lagging behind on overall officers per population ratios. Utah’s ratio is one officer for every 571 citizens. The National is one for every 588 people. We serve more population per officer than any other department in the County. The County average is 640 per officer and we average about 100 more than that. Adding another officer could bring that down significantly. I am a little worried this might increase when the census comes out and this does not take into account the multi-housing that is coming into Tremont Place (300 more units with nearly 800 more citizens). If we have the funding, we would be able to stay ahead, which is smarter than trying to play catch up later on. When citizens contemplate paying an increase in property taxes, they like to see we are offering more protection, which the fire and police departments do. I have been working on a grant to hire a new officer. If we got that it would cover 75% of the pay and benefits for a new officer for the first three years. Councilmember Rohde said for the fire and police departments, there ought to be a number and when we hit it, we hire a new employee. It should be a natural progression. We should not have to go through this again. When we hit that population that means it is time. As we grow, so do the departments.

Mr. Potts said our approach was this staffing model. We would have a full-time fire chief and full-time captains. They would work 48/96-hour shifts around the clock. There would always be a captain on duty with two full-time fire\EMT staff running the ambulances. On this schedule, federal laws allow them to work 56 hours before they hit overtime because they do sleep some. Part-timers could be on staff everyday and would be flexible with one on duty and one on call (12 and 24 hours). Existing volunteers would still be available to provide back up and depth. This gives you an opportunity to maintain this core group, who is still willing to serve the community. You could also work with law enforcement by having an officer become EMT certified and respond. We also recommend going to a paramedic available license. When a service is needed, you have a paramedic on board that can act. It was suggested that the City work with the communities they serve to see if they would help cover some costs.

Manager Warnke told the Council about wage data. We started to build a budget based on this staffing plan. We looked at fifth class cities with a population of less than 10,000 and their wage ranges, showing a minimum, mid, and upper pay range. We also started exploring cost allocation. Right now, 87% of the calls that are received in the fire department are attributed to EMS, with about 12% being fire. The costs associated with the staffing plan include benefits; health insurance and retirement. We calculated the highest amount we could foresee for benefits and a beginning pay range for fire chief, the three fire captains, who will work around the clock, and six full-time fire fighters/EMTs. Part-time members are required to step in and cover shifts for full-time staff because they will have vacation and sick leave. The costs would be $146,000 would be attributed to fire, $1 million to EMS, and an entry-level officer is $89,000, which includes benefits, but not the cost to outfit them with a vehicle and equipment. If we went to the quick response concept with a police officer, we would give those interested a $1.50 increase in pay. That and the corresponding increase in benefits would be $56,000. Some of that could be attributed to the EMS fund. Mr. Potts said law enforcement is usually the first ones on scene to make sure things are safe. With this new skill they can do the initial work until EMS arrives and then return to their duties. This gives you another resource available, but they will have to know their limits, roles, and boundaries. Manager Warnke said we have not looked at the cost to retrofit the fire station for living quarters yet. We have a fund balance of about $806,000 in the fire fund that would allow us to invest in that. We do not necessarily want to use this to fund ongoing operations, such as employee costs, but we do have a little money to help with the transition. In this upcoming budget there is a request for $180,000 to purchase a new ambulance and SCBAs (self-contained breathing apparatus) which is another $200,000.

Mayor Fridal asked if there were other options besides full-time. My concern is we have well trained people and I do not want to put them out to pasture. We have to keep the volunteers we have and we want them to be totally involved in the department. Mr. Potts agreed. There are many options available for us to work through. It will take more than those four people on duty to manage the calls. Manager Warnke said this increase is about $1.3 million. As we analyze this more, there might be some cost savings. Currently we do not have an emergency manager, but we anticipate the fire chief to serve in that role. We would also net out some of our current salaries based on the budget we have. To implement something like this would require a property tax increase. Several cities have done so to make this transition. There is a correlation between property tax and public safety, and having that connection between the services and a rational behind it goes a long ways to help it to be more acceptable. Property taxes are an ongoing revenue source, which is a good match for this ongoing expense. Tremonton has not increased property tax in the last 32 years. We have not been through the truth in taxation process and legislatively increased property tax to generate more revenue than we have previously associated with new growth. The $1.3 million cost associated with public safety attributes to an 84% tax increase. On an average home in Tremonton that would be an increase of $279 annually and for a business it would be $507 annually.

Councilmember Rohde said these communities we have contracts with are not carrying any of the expense, the citizens of Tremonton are. Manager Warnke said the majority of the call volume was in Tremonton. We do have fire contracts with Elwood and the County for fire protection ($58 per household). We need to have these conversations, but I really think it is incumbent upon us as a City to make sure we take care of our own needs and work with other cities to participate. There is value in us having an EMS department that is staffed and ready to respond. The Council discussed how the fire department feels about this new approach, which has been mixed. They have had a lot of good discussions, but still have a lot of unknowns. Manager Warnke said we respect and appreciate the fire department. They have been able to keep the cost of fire service really low for citizens. If we go this direction, we want to merge the two and leverage their good work and continue to have them be part of the department. We need guidance from the Council. We have gathered the information and timed it to run along with the budget process. It is a big expense and we would need to go through the truth in taxation process to increase taxes. Councilmember Vance said we need three different ideas of how we can do this. We need to see an entry level—the most economic way we can get into it slowly step-by-step. We also need a mid range to go with this all at once approach. This is bad timing with everything else going on.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Mayor Fridal called the March 3, 2020 City Council Meeting to order at 7:11 p.m. The meeting was held in the Tremonton City Council Meeting Room at 102 South Tremont Street, Tremonton, Utah. Those in attendance were Mayor Fridal, Councilmembers Archibald Rohde, Seamons, and Vance, City Manager Warnke, and City Recorder Nessen. The following Department Heads were also present: Fire Chief Steve Batis, Community Services Director Marc Christensen, Public Works Director Paul Fulgham, Police Chief Kurt Fertig, Treasurer Sharri Oyler and Senior Center Director Jenny Christensen. Councilmember Holmgren was excused.

1. Opening Ceremony:

Mayor Fridal informed the audience that he had received no written or oral request to participate in the Opening Ceremony. He asked anyone who may be offended by listening to a prayer to step out into the lobby for this portion of the meeting. The prayer was offered by Manager Warnke and the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Chief Batis.

2. Introduction of guests:

Mayor Fridal welcomed those in attendance.

3. Declaration of Conflict of Interest: none

4. Approval of Agenda:

5. Approval of minutes – February 18, 2020

Motion by Councilmember Vance to approve the minutes of February 18, 2020. Motion seconded by Councilmember Archibald. Vote: Councilmember Archibald – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Seamons – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

6. Public comments: none.

7. Employee Service Award

a. 30 Year Service Award – Lisa Auger

The Council thanked Lisa for her many years of service with the Senior Center.

8. New Council Business:

a. Discussion and consideration of adopting Ordinance No. 20-02 amending the Tremonton City Zoning for Parcel No. 05-055-0092; 05-055-0093; 05-055-0094; 05-055-0095; 05-055-0096; 05-055-0097; 05-055-0129; 05-055-0148; 05-055-0149; 05-055-0156; and a portion of 05-055-0181 that totals approximately 30.5 acres in size located at approximately 2650 West 600 North, from Residential District R1-10 to Residential District R1-8

Manager Warnke said this was tabled from our last meeting so we could provide the Council with additional information. The biggest concern was about open space and lot size. The current zones are R1-10 and the proposed zone is R1-8. There are a lot of 8,000 square foot lots there. Having similar lot sizes allows the lots to fit better in the current road configuration. It is compatible with the surrounding property owners and is an acceptable transition in lot sizes. At this point we are focused on acquiring property to do the regional storm drain basin and a regional park. Developer Jay Stocking has made improvements in that neighborhood with different housing products. There is upward progression in the types of homes and materials.

Motion by Councilmember Vance to adopt the ordinance. Motion seconded by Councilmember Rohde. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Archibald – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Seamons – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

b. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 20-09 approving a Land Acquisition Agreement between Tremonton City and Thomas Investments Limited Partnership for the City to acquire parcel number 05-186-0049 which is 0.11 acres of real property for the Canal Rail Trail located at approximately 300 West and 600 South

Manager Warnke said I visited with the canal company to discuss the issue of the trail adjoining in close proximity to their canal. The manager had conversations with his board and they can see us coexisting. They claim an easement on property that surrounds the canal and in our case, Tremonton owns the property. They want us to coordinate with them on land use decisions so they can ensure their interest in maintaining the canal is preserved as development occurs. They need access on a practical level. We have talked about fencing and how that would work with access. We also want to make sure the improvements we make in the corridor are compatible and would not be destroyed. It might be a challenge making sure they can do their services and not lose our improvements. We also suggested having them work on one side of the canal and leaving the other open for trail access. The trail would help relieve them of some of the maintenance associated with keeping the weeds and vegetation down. They felt we could work together and provide services that would benefit both entities.

Motion by Councilmember Archibald to approve the resolution. Motion seconded by Councilmember Rohde. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Archibald – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Seamons – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

c. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 20-10 approving the Holmgren Estates East Phase 6 Subdivision Development Agreement

Manager Warnke said this is a standard development agreement. He showed the Council the special conditions section and went through monies the City collects at the recordation of any subdivision.

Motion by Councilmember Rohde to approve the agreement. Motion seconded by Councilmember Vance. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Archibald – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Seamons – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

9. If necessary, the continuation of any item on the Work Session Agenda not completed

The Council continued their discussion on the fire department. Manager Warnke said the staffing plan that is being proposed equals $1.3 million, which essentially covers a three-man crew working around the clock. Six firefighters and three captains comprise that crew and the fire chief who would work more of a 9 to 5 shift. If the Council wants to see something modeled less than that, we can look into daytime or nighttime coverage only. We could probably drop it down $100,000 to $200,000 with additional savings we could muster up. Councilmember Rohde said all these things need to be put on a balance sheet so we can see them. I would like to know what that true number is and then find a way to get the funding. Fire and police need to know we want to make this work, we just want to find the funding without causing a lot of heartache to the public. Manager Warnke said we could drop it down to $1.1 million, which would be a 60-80% property tax increase to get this type of coverage. Councilmember Vance said we need to see an entry level and mid range plan that go with this full plan. The number of calls we did in 2019 was 572, of which 410 were in Tremonton so 162 of those calls were done outside (28%). That is $328,000 we are expecting Tremonton City to choke up to pay for everybody else’s safety. That is huge. Mr. Potts said that is why that new law is being proposed, but it has been tabled for now. You can try to work up a contract, but the municipals get to decide if they will do it or not. It is not an essential service so they can pick and choose. You have the license so you are responsible for your geographic boundaries.

Councilmember Archibald said for me the most important thing at this point is buy in from individuals who are offering that service in our community. They need to sell this. We all want to be safe so we have to spend money to make it a safe community. I value their opinion and want to know how they feel. Is there a commitment to this and can they sell it to their neighbor. Manager Warnke said two things were striking from the survey. First was that 80% felt the current staffing plan was not keeping up with the call demand. Secondly, are there things we can do internally because the ideal scenario is to continue as we are? They have provided a great service at a low cost, but 79% said they are either giving everything they can and more, giving all they can, or would like to give more and cannot. We wondered if there are ways we could solve this internally without changing the staffing plan, but as the conversation evolved, we realized we are at a crossroads that requires change. There are mixed responses from the fire department, but ultimately it is up to you as a City Council to make sure we have public safety covered. If you gave us a number or the percentage we could support, then we would go back and draft a public safety plan that met that. I do not see us losing calls and based upon these conversations, I think the plan that is presented is reasonable. That does come with a big price tag and is what other communities are wrestling with too.

Mayor Fridal said instead of going full bore right now could we do it gradually over a period of time? Manager Warnke said if we were going to do that, I think we could reduce the part-time firefighters and really try to drill down the budget to see where the savings would be. If you know you are not going to increase property taxes or there is only a certain percentage that you are willing to support, then it would be good to know what that number is. Councilmember Seamons said I know these guys do an excellent job, but are under staffed. We need to figure out how we can get them help and still keep everything down. Chief Batis said we have struggled to get our calls covered. We are not manning them at the strength we used to. We are depending on a lot of factors to cover our department. We have 30 members and 15 of them made the majority of the calls. You are not going to get everyone on board because there are different points of view. Our top call getter hurt his rotator cuff and is out for six months and we have two on disability. I have worked with the department for 40 years and we used to make 300 calls a year now we are at 1,500. It is more demanding and 80% of our guys said they are doing all they can. Councilmember Vance asked Chief Batis if he is behind this. Chief Batis said this was way higher than I expected, but we definitely need daytime help. Whether we need to go to this extent right now, we do not know, but if we do not and we need to then what are we going to do? Councilmember Archibald asked if the liability and risk are worth it. Chief Batis said to me it is not. I have been in this business forever to save lives and property. We discuss the EMS side all the time, but we have never addressed fire. Tremonton has an ISO rating of three. We have worked hard in my time as chief to have that and every homeowner in the City benefits from that. That is one of the lowest ISO ratings in the nation and in order to keep that you have to be able to man trucks.

Firefighter James Munns said this needs to happen. This is a little more than we thought, but Mr. Potts brought up a good point about doing it and being done so we do not have to go back to the citizens every year. I am 100% behind hiring people if we need it. You are running your volunteers into the ground. You cannot put a price on public safety, which the City has to provide. Councilmember Archibald said we have neighboring communities we are serving and they need to be part of the conversation too. Safety is number one. We need to join together to unify those communities around us and see if they will go in and be a part of it. Councilmember Vance said we need to have someone who is a proponent of being economical versus doing the whole thing all at once. Could we afford this now without raising taxes? Manager Warnke said no, you are raising taxes to do this. Councilmember Archibald said I think we have to do it and move forward. We can find out what the community thinks and if they are willing to invest in their safety. Let us get going down that road and do what we can to make it as inexpensive as possible. Councilmember Vance said I think we are all on board about doing something different, but doing it all at once, there is no way. We have to provide that service, but we can do it a little at a time rather than all at once. We have to look at different options. The question is what we can afford to do. We still have a budget.

10. Calendar Items and Previous Assignment

a. Review of calendar

The Utah League of Cities and Towns conference is April 22-24. The Council is registered and will have dinner on Wednesday night with the Brigham City Council.

b. Review of past assignment:

Manager Warnke said things are progressing on the billboards. I have had conversations with the County, Chamber, and YESCO. We are coordinating the final details of the sign copy and the cost estimates. We are still trying to determine if we have a formal easement on the land.

11. Reports & Comments:

a. City Manager Reports and Comments

1. Discussion of the Fire Department to burn down three houses within the Tremont Center owned by the Tremonton City Redevelopment Agency

Manager Warnke said the RDA owns three houses on Main Street in the Tremont Center and has contracted to pay up to $350,000 for their removal. The fire department would like to use those homes for training and will burn them down. Fire Chief Batis said we plan to do our training in April and have them gone by May 1. Rupp’s Trucking wants to stay busy and would clean those up as soon as they are gone. All three would be burned at one time. It will be a clean burn.

b. Development Review Committee Report and Comments
