CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP

Mayor Fridal called the March 5, 2019 City Council Workshop to order at 6:04 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 (by phone at 6:13 p.m. for the work session only), Rohde, and Vance (arrived at 6:42 p.m.), 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, and Treasurer Sharri Oyler (arrived at 6:08 p.m.). Also in attendance was Finance Director Curtis Roberts.

The following items were discussed out of order.

1. Review Report from the Public Works Director and discussion of issues associated with Tremonton City constructing and administering a secondary water system, with discussion of topics to include, but not being limited to, water shares, coordination with the Bear River Canal Company, secondary water, and culinary water rates, bonds, policies associated with secondary water, etc.

Manager Warnke said several months ago we put together a secondary water rates working group. They were tasked with finding alternatives and coming up with a recommendation for the Council’s consideration. Councilmembers Rohde and Vance were participants. They reviewed the rate resolution and looked at examples of how this would affect residents’ bills. As a committee, there are a few changes we are recommending. One would be to make the base rate for secondary water seasonal, during the irrigation months. It is also proposed that we increase the culinary base rate by $2 (from $8 to $10). There are three rates being proposed. One is the culinary rate, which is for anyone who does not have the service to their home or opportunity to connect. The second is secondary water rates for those who use them and the base rate would apply to anyone within that zoned whether they use it or not. Then there is culinary with secondary water, which is meant to encourage people to use secondary. The new rates would be applied one year after the project is completed, allowing residents’ time to make the changes on their property and connect. If they start using the water sooner, then the new rate would apply.

Director Fulgham told the Council how they came up with the rates. We looked at covering the debt service that is going to be required and we had to keep it over 125%. With our calculations and speculations, we came up with that rate. The first tier (0-7,000 gallons) is what we think most homeowners use indoor. They reviewed a spreadsheet showing water use in January for residential only and that many users are within that range. In our discussion we talked about how much water a normal home in our area uses on their lawns and that is where we came up with the first tier (0-30,000 gallons) and then jumped it in 30,000-gallon increments. On the culinary rate, for those who have secondary, we left the first tier the same as our other culinary rate. That is where we started increasing it to help push people to use secondary water in the future. If a homeowner does not use a lot of water or does not want to hook to the secondary system, it holds them harmless if they do not use over 7,000 gallons. It will keep them on the same tier for what they would use for culinary. However, if they decided to start watering their lawn more, it would start impacting them and going up $3 per 1,000 gallons using the same tiers as in the culinary rate. The cost per 1,000 jumps up considerably. That is the incentive to get users to use secondary water when it is available. Those who do not want to hook to secondary would still pay the base rate of $10—that is their buy in and it is always available to use. Councilmember Rohde said we would also put a device on their house that measures both culinary and secondary and this helps pay for that device. Director Fulgham said everyone would be metered, even if they do not hook up. During the March 19 Council meeting, a company we use for our metering will come in and talk about fixed based metering. This option would give customers a real time view of their water usage so they can set parameters and track their water in order to save money and conserve. For secondary, the first tier (0 to 30,000) is $1.50 per 1,000 gallons, the next is $2 per 1,000 gallons then 50 cents per 1,000 as we go up to 120,000 gallons. Anything over 120,000 is $3.50 per thousand gallons for the month.

Councilmember Holmgren said clearly we are encouraging conservation, but to what extent? I wonder if it is going a bit overboard. He did some calculations that got pricey fast. Director Fulgham explained that those calculations will be based monthly from May 1 to November 1 and are not as high as he was calculating. The goal is to collect enough revenue to be able to pay for the infrastructure. It is a significant increase and that is why we opted to do a base fee six months out of the year. To offset that we had to adjust the culinary base fee so we could offset the cost without having to then go back and adjust those usage costs. We want to promote conservation too. Manager Warnke said this is one of those critical items for a path forward. We need to get the rate adopted so we can get to the next issue at hand in order to implement the bonding. You have approved and awarded the bid. Director Fulgham said we have preconstruction tomorrow on service area 3 and by the first of April, they could start construction. After that, bills will start rolling in. Councilmember Holmgren asked if we have to bond for this. Director Fulgham said yes, that is why we had to look at the debt to service ratio. We have money in our cash flow to handle bills that come in at first, but by July we are going to need to have funding in place to pay for the whole project. Councilmember Doutre asked about those who are already on secondary and if they are going to start the new rate this spring. Director Fulgham said we will install meters and as soon as they are in, they will be on the new rate. Part of the agreement with the canal company is that they wanted to see SCADA data so they can see our pumping activities out of the canal. Councilmember Holmgren said from a perception of the public and looking at the rates, secondary is higher than culinary, and asked if we have considered the possibility of flip-flopping them. Director Fulgham said all we were looking at was what we need to do to cover the debt ratio. The problem is we are building a whole new system so we have all new infrastructure to pay for, plus the cost of water development for the water shares. The perception is always that secondary water is cheap water. The cost is not cheap, but the quality is lower. Development of it still costs—a pipe is a pipe and a trench is a trench. The cost of shares is also driving costs. Manager Warnke said as we have worked through the process, there have been things we have not anticipated that have added expenses to the project—including requirements from the canal company. The main thing is getting the property to put the basin on. Councilmember Holmgren asked if we are looking at the same base rate per share as a farmer. Director Fulgham said at this point, they have not said anything about adjusting their annual fee based on municipal versus agricultural. We are doing extra stuff to offset any demand and impact to the canal. For the equalization basin, we are hoping it is around $100,000, but it depends on how hard the property is to get. Councilmember Doutre asked about the fees for changing over the ownership of water shares. Director Fulgham said we have not got those all nailed down yet, but we are trying to do that. If the fees are too high, do we just want one share or do you want to wait until we have a bundle of shares to transfer? We want something in hard writing and will work out a fee schedule from them saying exactly what it will cost to move water from canal to canal or from gate to gate.

Director Fulgham said Councilmembers Rohde and Vance, along with Director Roberts, were driving factors on where rates should be. Councilmember Reese said there are communities that have a base rate higher than $10 still. Councilmember Holmgren said we are looking at conservation, which will force people to look at different ways they can conserve. We need to come up with ways to help people know how to do that. Councilmember Reese said that needs to be part of our promotion. Councilmember Rohde said with the first tier in secondary water being 0-30,000 gallons that ends up being less expensive than using 30,000 gallons of culinary water. Councilmember Reese said this is still new to us, I do not know if I want to go into other zones until we see what zone 3 does. The Council agreed. Director Fulgham said the beauty of it is, it is going to give us a history on that system and what it does to the canal.

Director Fulgham then went through the Councilmembers water usage for 2018. They were shown how much that same usage would cost if they had secondary water. They reviewed Mayor Fridal’s usage. Councilmember Rohde said he is about $60 more a year, which is only a 10% increase. Director Fulgham added that if he decided not to hook onto secondary and pay to use culinary on his lawn, he would almost be double in what he will pay on secondary and culinary use together. That is why the rate was set that way—we want to encourage the use of secondary water to stretch our culinary so we do not have to develop more. Councilmember Rohde said conservation will drive prices down a bit and asked if that is going to hurt our bottom line. Director Roberts said when we raised and adopted water rates designed for conserving, we did not see much conservation. I think this is why the Council is really wise in doing one section to see what it does and how people respond. Then we will be able to fine tune things more.

Director Roberts said whenever you go through bonding, there are municipal advisors (MAs), who help you through the process and get all the resolutions in place for the bonds. They help with obtaining bids from different lenders, who will buy the bonds that the City is issuing. They also help coordinate and hit deadlines, acting as a project manager. We will be feeding all the information in and decisions will come back to be made, but they manage it. We have used Zion’s for financial advisors in the past and have developed a really strong relationship there. You want someone you can trust in this situation because they are spearheading this. Realistically, to hit the July deadline, we are hitting that timeframe where decisions need to be made. We have done a good job analyzing and are hitting all the benchmarks we wanted to. Once we have the rates adopted then the MA can bring in the parameters resolution. These are the upper limits we are putting everyone in the City on notice that we will not exceed. Banks come in with different rate structures and each year a bond you are redeeming carries a different coupon or interest rate. You have to plan for what that highest rate you would allow to be authorized then the banks have to hit that, which affects the pricing structure. Then there are the rate terms and amount of the bonds. We would set an extra cushion so we would have plenty to make sure we hit all the bonding needs. We are shooting to have them present that next Council meeting. We would identify all those parameters and have a discussion. After that, the ball starts rolling and there is a 30-day period for the public to make comments. We evaluate if we are in our parameters to the overall project and then are ready to issue the bond so we can hit that July 1 deadline and be fully funded and ready to go. That is the timeline we are on. We are hitting all the milestones. Director Fulgham said we are prime to have them loan us money because we have no other debt—because of that we can get as good or better an interest rate on the public market as we could going private through the State. However, we will check that out with the help of the MA. Director Roberts said the MA could make some of those contacts, verify where things stand and give solid advice before we get too far in the process. Since we are combining this with the water fund, we are going to have a fantastic debt coverage ratio and numbers all the way around, and private lenders reward you for that. We will be able to drive the rate down, based off past history.

Manager Warnke said in summary, once the rates are adopted, we will engage a municipal advisor and will bring a contract before you at the next meeting. About the same time, he will be working on identifying bond council and we anticipate using Randy Larsen for that. He will need to start doing some of the work. The parameter resolution is something he would draft, along with noticing. There will be some work that is happening ahead of it coming to the agenda for approval. We want to make sure the Council is okay starting down that path. We have used Alex Buxton with Zion’s Bank in the past, who is an MA. Those two are really good and will charge a flat fee. In the overall scheme, we are talking about $20,000 for an MA and $18,000 to $20,000 for the legal council. The overall cost relative to the amount we are borrowing is fairly meniscal. They play a pretty important role in the success of us getting the best rates possible.

Councilmember Holmgren confirmed we are bonding for area 3 and when we do 5 it will go through this process all over again. Director Roberts said this could end up being multiple bond issues depending how far this project goes. That is all the more reason to make sure we have qualified people the first time. The way we structure the language of this first bond is going to be very critical to how the second one works. Councilmember Vance asked if we are going to end up going with Zion’s to get the bonding and why they are charging a flat fee upfront before we go through them. Director Roberts said we do not know if Zion’s will win the bond or not. They are two completely separate things. Mr. Buxton will do an RFP for lenders and he does not have ties into Zion’s lending or trust portion. Manager Warnke said the bank would buy it as part of their portfolio. We anticipate the purchaser of our bond would be at $3 million. Councilmember Vance asked what kind of rates banks are offering on these size of bonds. Director Roberts said depending on our debt coverage ratio, we could be anywhere between 3 and 3.5% on average. That is part of the MAs responsibility, to get the best deal possible.

Manager Warnke said as early as the next council meeting, we would have a parameters resolution, along with this municipal advisor contract. Under that scenario, we would engage Randy Larsen to put the parameter resolution together. During the April 2 meeting, we anticipate Mr. Larsen or Mr. Buxton going through a calendar to map out the process and see what the timeline is to hit our end target date of July 1 to have everything issued, funded and money in place. Director Roberts said we are right on track.

2. Report on obtaining a scope of work from Brian Potts and Associates, LLC to perform a Fire Department and EMS analysis revenue, staff plans, future capital expenditures, and operational issues

Chief Batis said Garland Fire is applying to be state certified for their first responders and Tremonton Fire has to send a letter saying we are their transport unit. Manager Warnke said we wanted to make the Council aware of this. It does not change what has been done in the past or affect our service area other than we are acknowledging that they provide that service, potentially ahead of us. Chief Batis said they are applying for a basic quick response unit. They stabilize the patient until we get there. We are considered advanced life support. Manager Warnke said the idea is if they can beat us to the scene, they can start handling or providing basic level care with us in-route. Right now, they would essentially take anything within their city limits, up to SR-30 and part of 84. Chief Batis said they have been first responding for us for as long as I can remember, they just have not been licensed with the State of Utah. This is something they need to do. Councilmember Rohde asked about billing. Chief Batis said that is still us because we can only bill if we transport. Councilmember Rohde asked what the incentive is. Chief Batis said a quicker response. They can be on scene faster since they are closer. Manager Warnke said it comes down to patient care. They feel like they can provide faster service to stabilize the patient and give them care while we are in-route to provide the more advanced care and transport them to the hospital. This does not change them it just gives them an official license from the State. It is still Tremonton’s license, it just lets them first respond.

Manager Warnke said we met with Brian Potts and Associates last week. We want him to do an analysis on our revenue, staffing, future capital expenditures and operational issues. Our coverage is getting thinner and we want to know our options. Mr. Potts works for Cache County EMS and is an accountant. He knows the ups and downs of the EMS world. Councilmember Doutre asked if we have people who want to do this job. Chief Batis said we had five people interested. None are trained so we took them on a conditional offer if they pass their EMT Basic certification and then we will train them on the fire side. They have two years of schooling. Since then we have lost almost five. Councilmember Rohde asked what it costs to do the analysis. Director Roberts said our first deal was to meet with Mr. Potts and have him understand our situation. We walked through those challenges and had him provide some perspective of services that he could provide. He is in the middle of bringing back a proposal of different things he can do and some of the main services, if there are any other revenue streams we should be looking at, staffing plans and different models he has seen. He can provide some ideas of different modeling structures and put together a scope of work and proposed costs. Manager Warnke said it would be an amendment to the budget if we start this year or it would be included in next year’s budget. He will put together individual categories within the scope, along with prices so we could pick and choose what is important to the Council. Director Roberts said he is good for analysis threats of where we could potentially be losing revenue in the future and state wide policies of how the state views EMS and fire departments. Councilmember Rohde asked if this is a legislative decision as it sounds more administrative. Manager Warnke said it is, but we want to make you aware of it. EMS calls continue to climb and we are getting to a point where the current structure we have does not seem adequate. This is the next step—engaging someone to help us analyze it and see what our options are. Depending on the costs and if it is in the budget, we could just move forward administratively, but we want you to be aware. We would like you to be familiar with the scope of work and have a voice to direct us. Councilmember Rohde said I like having the information, thank you for sharing, but keep working administratively until you are ready. Councilmember Vance asked what Mr. Potts charges for an analysis like this. Director Roberts said, knowing him, the Council will see more of a flat rate, not hourly. Manager Warnke said Treasurer Oyler, Director Roberts, Chief Batis and I had lunch and talked about the concerns we have and passed those onto him. The next step was for him to write those concerns into a scope, along with the pricing and accomplish the work. We think this is a good path for us to move forward with. He is uniquely qualified to help us in addressing our needs.

3. Items from the Development Review Committee and discussion of a proposed development on 1000 North and approximately 4000 West (property is adjacent to I-84) with the discussion of topics including, but not being limited to, off-site utilities, weight restrictions on 1000 North, truck stop and fuel center, other land use issues

Manager Warnke said this was a continuation of that last City Council meeting workshop. I need to get with the developer to touch base and understand where they are at in the process. Ultimately the Council adopted a resolution that is sort of in limbo per their request. I will get more information from them and coordinate with the Council to let you know what they are requesting and their perspective. Do you want to continue forward with the resolution or reconsider it? Councilmember Rohde said even if they put a truck stop in there, we would want to keep that road coming east weight restricted. Manager Warnke said we would, but do we want to place those freeway interstate signs? Councilmember Rohde said we would. The signs would need to change, but right now, their GPS sends them that way and we need a sign that says to continue here. Manager Warnke said he would continue to work on that.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING

Mayor Fridal called the March 5, 2019 City Council Meeting to order at 7:06 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: Fire Chief Steve Batis, Community Services Director Marc Christensen, Public Works Director Paul Fulgham, Police Chief Kurt Fertig, and Treasurer Sharri Oyler. Also in attendance was Finance Director Curtis Roberts.

1. Opening Ceremony:

Mayor Fridal informed the audience that he had received an oral request from Scout Troop 126 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 and Pledge of Allegiance were led by Scout Troop 126.

2. Introduction of guests:

Mayor Fridal welcomed those in attendance, including a group of scouts.

3. Declaration of Conflict of Interest: none

4. Approval of Agenda:

Motion by Councilmember Holmgren to approve the agenda of March 5, 2019. Motion seconded by Councilmember Vance. Vote: Councilmember Doutre – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

5. Approval of minutes – February 19, 2019

Motion by Councilmember Rohde to approve the minutes of February 19, 2019. Motion seconded by Councilmember Doutre. Vote: Councilmember Doutre – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

6. Public comments: Comments limited to three minutes.

Bruce Jeppesen addressed the Council about an upcoming event, a drag night that has been held previously. He said I just wondered if everything was still okay with that. Manager Warnke said Director Christensen will contact you and it will be the same process as before. With the special events permit process, Director Christensen will continue to work with you, as will Chief Fertig. When they have the proposal ready, they will present it to the Council for consideration. Councilmember Rohde said it was phenomenal last time, but I have one concern and that is during the burn out. Let us make sure the public is a little safer. Mr. Jeppesen said you are right on that. It was too narrow and I will make sure nobody is beyond the blocks. I wanted to make sure you guys were still good before I finalized the date, but it will be the first part of June and about three hours.

7. New Council Business:

a. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 19-09 adopting the Tremonton Economic and Market Analysis Plan 2019 as an element of the Tremonton City General Plan

Manager Warnke said we started this process a year and a half or so ago and obtained some grant funds. Through that period of time, we have been working on creating a plan, which is before you. The Planning Commission has reviewed it and recommended approval. Councilmember Holmgren said I thought it was really good. It opened my eyes on a lot of things. Maybe you could talk about some of the high points. Manager Warnke said there is a lot of good information and it summarizes past economic development plans. There are valid points and keys going forward. As we evaluate our economic progression, we can look back and see if we are hitting our benchmarks, which include average income in Box Elder County compared to the average income per household in the state. Utah leakage—how much sales are we losing? They did some of that analysis for us. One compares sales tax data from the sales tax commission. In 2013 we were 108% of where they anticipate our population to be with sales and in 2016 it jumped to 115%. We also did a citizen survey, where 1,000 people participated. They gave good insights on what they would like to see for economic development initiatives and discussed their shopping habits, what they think we have and do not have but would like to see, where they spend their money and if they spend out of town. They even shared their spending categories that they go out of town for. Economic development planning and implementation is going to be a little harder because it is not as straight forward as some of the other plans where we can write codes and ordinances then implement. We will continue to work and move forward. I do think there are some great policies, benchmarks and objectives to help shape our economic progression. Councilmember Holmgren said this is great. I spent a lot of time and just scratched the surface. It will take some time to digest.

Motion by Councilmember Holmgren to adopt the resolution. Motion seconded by Councilmember Rohde. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Doutre – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

b. Discussion and consideration of adopting Resolution No. 19-10 reaffirming, amending, and enacting new fees and fines in a schedule entitled Tremonton City Consolidated Fees and Fines Schedule including,, but not limited to, the amendment of culinary water rates and secondary water rates

Councilmember Holmgren expressed his appreciation for all the time and effort the members put into the rate schedule and made a motion. Councilmember Rohde asked when the new culinary base fee would go into effect. Manager Warnke said the Council can modify it, but it would go with the next billing and increase to $10.

Motion by Councilmember Holmgren to adopt 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. Calendar Items and Previous Assignment

a. Review of calendar

The Utah League of Cities and Towns will be held on April 24-26. Manager Warnke said the City has made those reservations, but we can cancel and will confirm availability for participation at the conference.

Councilmember Vance said the Old Barn Theatre are having a historical play, which will be held on a Tuesday and Wednesday. We ought to consider going to that as a Council and supporting it with our spouses. Manager Warnke said it coincides with the 150 year anniversary of the railroad and we need to RSVP. The Council agreed to go on Tuesday, May 7, which is a regular scheduled Council meeting. They will hold an early meeting to adopt the tentative budget and then go afterward.

b. Review of past assignments: none

9. Reports & Comments:

a. City Manager Reports and Comments: none

b. City Department Head Reports and Comments

Director Fulgham said Mayor Fridal was given an award last week at the Utah Rural Water Association’s annual conference—an Elected Official of the Year award for all his hard work. Not only is he a mayor, he is a chairman for the water conservancy district and is vice chair of the drinking water board, which are big responsibilities.

Director Fulgham said today we met with a landscape architect, who we would like to utilize for a couple projects around town. We would like to spruce up the triangle at 6th North and Tremont Street. He gave us ideas to make it more water wise. We also looked at the Main Street rock. He will come up with ideas and mix color to utilize the existing rocks. Councilmember Holmgren asked if while we have him here, we could pick his brain on xeriscape. Director Fulgham said we had a lot of discussion on that. We are going to utilize him to help us with our parking area by the trailhead and use that as an example of what works well in our area to conserve water. He had a lot of good ideas. We also talked about park strips.

Preconstructions of secondary are going to start in a couple weeks. We have the water line extension project by Western Inn that will start any day with Grover’s Excavation. Staker Parsons is starting tomorrow on the BR Mountain Road. We have a lot of projects going on and Engineer Breinholt is working hard to finalize the Crumps project on 600 West. Manager Warnke said we would engage the landscape architect. He has reasonable rates and these are all small projects so it should be right around $1,000. The design directive is more or less to plant water wise landscaping and balancing water conservation maintenance, and the overall aesthetics of those spaces.

c. Council Reports and Comments

Mayor Fridal said he recently walked the walking trail and discovered on the northeast side there was water that came off the farm ground above that had washed some of it away. They cannot keep doing that with that trail in the river bottoms. That needs to change and the water needs to be focused out to the river. However, it is a nice trail. It is different than I had envisioned.

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

The Council moved into a closed session at 7:58 p.m.

10. CLOSED SESSIONS:

Motion by Councilmember Holmgren to return to open session. Motion seconded by Councilmember Doutre. Roll Call Vote: Councilmember Doutre – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.

The Council returned to open session at 8:13 p.m.

11. Adjournment.

Motion by Councilmember Holmgren to adjourn the meeting. Motion seconded by Councilmember Doutre. Vote: Councilmember Doutre – aye, Councilmember Holmgren – aye, Councilmember Rohde – aye, Councilmember Vance – aye. Motion approved.
