FARMINGTON CITY – CITY COUNCIL MINUTES May 6, 2025 WORK SESSION Present: Mayor Brett Anderson, Assistant Community Development City Manager Brigham Mellor, Director/City Planner Lyle Gibson, Mayor Pro Tempore/Councilmember Alex Assistant City Manager/City Engineer Chad Leeman, Boshell, Councilmember Roger Child, Finance Director Greg Davis, Councilmember Scott Isaacson, Assistant Finance Director Levi Ball, Councilmember Melissa Layton, City Parks and Recreation Director Colby Councilmember Amy Shumway, Thackeray, City Attorney Paul Roberts, Public Works Director Larry Famuliner, City Recorder DeAnn Carlile, Police Chief Austin Anderson, and Recording Secretary Deanne Chaston, Interim Fire Chief Chris Winter. Community Development Director Dave Petersen, City Manager Brigham Mellor called the work session to order at 5:00 p.m. BUDGET PRESENTATIONS AND DELIBERATION The work session was held to consider department budget presentations and deliberations for Fiscal Year 2026. Assistant Finance Director Levi Ball introduced the budget. He has met with each department head multiple times this year during Budget Committee meetings. Tonight the tentative budget will be discussed during this work session and voted on during the regular session. On May 20, June 3, and June 17, more department presentations will take place during the City Council’s work session. On June 17, the Council will consider adopting both the City and Redevelopment Agency (RDA) final budgets during the regular meeting, which will also include public hearings. That day the Council will also consider the Consolidated Fee Schedule (CFS), certified tax rate for property tax, and compensation increases for elective and statutory officers. Mellor said that the City is not yet under contract with a builder for the anticipated $10 million land sale. That money is planned to go toward the new Fire Station on the City’s west side. In the water fund, the $7 million was bonded for and received in a prior year and will be spent in the upcoming budget year. Finance Director Greg Davis said since the retreat, the budget has been changed to allow for the Police Department’s annual recognition dinner. Ball said a property tax increase was avoided this budget year. There will be about a 2% decrease in the projection of sales tax the City expects to collect. Some debt schedules dropped off this year’s budget, which will help the General Fund. Development is expected to increase, leading to a projected $485,000 increase in building permit revenue. Farmington City Council, May 6, 2025 Page 1 Ball said key changes as well as ongoing and one-time expenditures are noted in each department’s budget. Employee appreciation is a budget line in each department used to pay for the holiday party, occasional thank you lunches, wellness, and medical deductible reimbursements. There were requests to increase that line item, but it was kept consistently the same across all departments depending on the number of employees. City Attorney Department City Attorney Paul Roberts addressed the Council. Much of his budget is being moved to other departments. He is not asking for anything new this year and noted that service fees are on the increase. Parks and Recreation Department City Parks and Recreation Director Colby Thackeray presented his department budget. Payroll increases include a restructuring of how he will be handling seasonal employees. The previous way was confusing from a payroll processing standpoint. There are some operational expenses related to the new park coming online. Chemical and fertilizer costs for the parks are increasing. The City will take over maintenance of the Red Barn restroom by Legacy Trail for $6,000 annually. A fungus injection for sycamore trees will cost $75,000, which will help them with longevity. Mellor said a tree replacement plan may be needed in the future along State Street. Public Works Department Public Works Director Larry Famuliner addressed the Council. Regarding the water fund, developers will pay for water meters for new development. The department is selling a 30-year- old dump truck in order to get another wing plow. The biggest change in the water department is the increase in water rates to keep up with increased expenses for parts, pipes, etc. Mellor said utility rates need to be increased at a quicker rate. Weber Basin is projecting a 14.3% increase followed by a following 15.7% increase after that. Famuliner said Farmington doesn’t have anything to do with setting sewer rates. The City has budgeted $270,000 to pay for 2,000 green waste cans. The new opt-out program needs to have at least 25% enrollment to work. It will be rolled out by neighborhoods, starting with those that have large lots, around April 1, 2026. There is a large lead time to get the cans in stock. There are still a lot of unknowns with this program, but the City hopes to have participation from 40% to 50% of residents in the end. Storm water rates are going up 8%. Assistant City Manager/City Engineer Chad Boshell said the master plans are old, although they have had some updates over the years. The models need to be redone. Using a shift of titles, the City will now have a storm water superintendent like they have a water and street superintendent. The sidewalk budget has been increasing in the last few years, covered by Class C funds instead of General Funds. This department will be adding a new full-time employee to handle concrete and other needs. Engineering Department Boshell said this year Farmington will receive $350,000 from the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) for West Davis Corridor (WDC) betterments, and another $350,000 the following year. This will help fund curb and gutter on 5th South. Farmington City Council, May 6, 2025 Page 2 Ball said for the last few years, the City has been optimistic that it could collect impact fees. However, this year it should be realized. Boshell said the impact fees from The Trail apartment complex on the corner of Innovator and Burke would cover the City’s water bond for two years. They expect Lifetime’s impact fees to be paid by next spring. Some may also come in from The Everly. Some of Wasatch may come in as well. They don’t expect to see anything from Weber State University for another five years. Even though the area is short on housing, no one is starting any new housing. Assistant Community Development Director/City Planner Lyle Gibson said Stack is focusing on retail commercial development near the interchange. There have been some limitations with the power availability in the area. By the fall, he expects to see some mid box and inline developments as well as restaurant pads. Boshell said the new fire station budget is still on track, especially considering the projected $10 million for a land sale. The City will have to bond for anything remaining past that $10 million. Consultants have said that bonds are in upheaval because of the current administration. Fire Department Interim Fire Chief Chris Winters presented his department budget. Before, 15% of fire was allocated to ambulance, which was conservative. It will now be bumped up to 22%. Boshell said this year the State legislated not overcharging for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) services. Ball said Farmington has switched dispatch services from Davis County to Bountiful, and the County needs to send the City a refund. Kaysville and Farmington both recently left Davis County dispatch as well. Mellor said the 911 fee paid for on cell phone bills goes to the State Tax Commission, then on to the County. Davis County is hanging on to that money without doing the work, and that needs to be addressed. The 2025 budget is therefore down $100,000 because Farmington already paid Bountiful for dispatch. Farmington has been paying $10,000 a month for 911 dispatch, and they will continue to be responsible for that. A lion’s share comes from 911 money. Ambulance Department Mellor said that Medicare pays only 30 cents on the dollar of any ambulance bill. The federal government just doesn’t pay. Ball said the City recently switched to a new billing company that he is confident will help Farmington collect more than has been collected in the past. Boshell said cities should expect to see more ambulance calls as the baby boomers continue to age. Winter said the budget includes some reclassifications in payroll with the creation of a paramedic specialist position with more responsibilities. This will help medical personnel stay on the medical side of things with better options for leadership. Costs for supplies and services are increasing like everything else. Community Development Department Community Development Director Dave Petersen said his professional and technical budget is increasing. The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) is getting its own fund, and Building Official Eric Miller’s truck will be replaced and outfitted. Farmington City Council, May 6, 2025 Page 3 Police Department Police Chief Austin Anderson addressed the Council, thanking them for an increase in budget that will provide a step and grade for his officers. There has been a contractual adjustment for IT services. The price of guns and gun parts are on the increase. The department replaces vests every five years upon expiration. Replacing radio towers will cost $40,000 this year and another $40,000 next year. A rifle replacement will cost $4,000, and another will be paid for with a grant. The Department’s rifles are all really old, and now they will have only five left to replace. Ball said the replacement of police vehicles will cost $275,000, and some of the fleet is replaced each year. Administration Department Ball said a new VOIP phone system replaced unreliable copper lines. The IT contract has been increased to 60 hours. Davis said according to analysis, Farmington has saved a lot of money using Premier Tech’s IT services. Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency (IRMA) is passing cyber risk insurance on to Farmington. Since it is an election year, the treasurer and assistant finance director will need to attend training conferences for $30,000. Mellor said if a candidate requests a recount within a certain margin, it could cost up to $24,000. Mellor said the Sewer District will have to move a lift station to South Park. Since the widening of Interstate 15 will be moving forward by the end of this year, UDOT will need to buy land from Farmington. He expects to get that money by the end of FY2026, as this project is moving faster than WDC did. UDOT will not be taking the whole skate park, but they will be encroaching somewhat. Regarding the WDC beautification funds, the committee decided on trail head improvements and a tree program where the City will purchase the trees to be planted in affected residents’ backyards. All whose backyards front WDC have been budgeted for. Mellor said Ivory is taking care of installing sound walls, which would have otherwise cost Farmington a lot of money. Mayor Brett Anderson joined the meeting at 6:56 p.m. Farmington City Council, May 6, 2025 Page 4 REGULAR SESSION Present: Mayor Brett Anderson, City Attorney Paul Roberts, City Manager Brigham Mellor, City Recorder DeAnn Carlile, Mayor Pro Tempore/Councilmember Alex Recording Secretary Deanne Chaston, Leeman, Assistant City Manager/City Engineer Chad Councilmember Roger Child, Boshell, Councilmember Scott Isaacson, Finance Director Greg Davis, Councilmember Melissa Layton, Assistant Finance Director Levi Ball, and Councilmember Amy Shumway, Police Chief Austin Anderson. CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Brett Anderson called the meeting to order at 7:07 p.m. City Manager Brigham Mellor offered the invocation, and the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Councilmember Melissa Layton. PRESENTATION: Introduction of new police officers Tanner Johnsen, Jerry Shepherd, and Kyle Shine Police Chief Austin Anderson presented this agenda item. He thanked the Council for their support. Officer Kyle Shine has a long history of service including the Marine Corps out of high school and work at the prison. He said that he wanted to be here so badly that Farmington is the only department he applied for. Officer Jerry Shepherd started in Farmington, and is now a lateral hire back. Officer Tanner Johnsen is a familiar face and comes as a lateral hire as well. He is originally from Bountiful, was in the Marine Corps, and now lives in Layton. BUSINESS: Local Building Authority (LBA) creation Finance Director Greg Davis presented this agenda item. Marcus Keller is the City’s new bonding advisor, and was formerly with Zions Bank. Establishing an LBA is a preparatory step to future financing. The LBA is essentially the City Council and Mayor and allows a unique lease revenue bond. The fire station is a big, essential need for the City, and it is less likely the City will default on that. Pledging the fire station itself, Farmington could use property taxes to pay the bond payments. The fire station would be a good candidate for lease revenue bonds. Mayor Anderson said he couldn’t see a negative to this. Mellor says getting this part done now will save four weeks’ worth of work when the City wants to otherwise move forward. The City will have to find a buyer for bonds. Assistant Finance Director Levi Ball said Kaysville did the same for their city hall and police station, and Syracuse did the same for their fire station. It is pretty common. Farmington City Council, May 6, 2025 Page 5 Councilmember Scott Isaacson said he had a few corrections to the bylaws and documents, and asked if the definition of the City Council included the mayor. City Attorney Paul Roberts said according to State Code, the mayor is part of the Council. Isaacson said he will send the corrections to Roberts and Davis. Councilmember Roger Child asked what the likelihood was that the federal government would take tax exempt status away from bonds. Keller said he didn’t know because there have been a lot of changes in federal government lately. He said there is a lot of support keeping bonds tax exempt, and things can be very scary with outstanding bond debt. If interest rates are increased, that would be passed along to tax payers. Keller said most bonds issued by a city have historically been direct purchase. However, the City may have to go to market instead of direct purchase, which Mellor said could take a bit longer but may help keep tax exempt status. The City has a AA+ bond rating. Keller said it is important that the project be essential instead of nonessential. For example, parks are nonessential. The City’s overall financial health and ability to pay the bond also matters. The City’s financials will be analyzed, as will the revenue from existing sources. Motion: Isaacson moved that the City Council approve the resolution creating the Local Building Authority and approve the attached Articles of Incorporation with the following caveats, that we make sure the resolution and articles make it clear that the Mayor and City Council are all the trustees, and that the Schedule 1 and 2 attachment A to the resolution forms for notices of meetings are attached to the final version. Child seconded the motion. All Councilmembers voted in favor, as there was no opposing vote. Mayor Pro Tempore/Councilmember Alex Leeman X Aye ____ Nay Councilmember Roger Child X Aye ____ Nay Councilmember Scott Isaacson X Aye ____ Nay Councilmember Melissa Layton X Aye ____ Nay Councilmember Amy Shumway X Aye ____ Nay Isaacson asked if there would be a separate resolution form for when the trustees are appointed as the officers. This is usually done at the first board meeting. Keller said the attorneys that drafted it will be at the next Council meeting. Adoption of Fiscal Year 2026 Tentative Municipal Budget Ball presented the tentative budget as recommended by Staff, which is a required step in the budget process. This is not the final budget, and the Council can still change and review it. This is the culmination of several months of meeting with departments in internal meetings, gathering requests, having the Budget Committee review those requests, and vetting items for the best decision for the City. Ball highlighted major items in the FY26 recommended budget. This included no proposed increase in property taxes, a slowing of sales tax, a 5% employee wage increase, the addition of one full-time employee, paying off a $3.5 million bond, increased building permit revenue, and an increase on all utility rates. Farmington City Council, May 6, 2025 Page 6 For years, Farmington experienced rapid growth in sales tax thanks in large part to the success of Station Park and population growth. Between FY20 and FY22, sales tax increased nearly $1 million each year. However, in FY23 and FY24, that growth slowed to $283,000 and $182,000 respectively. So far, the FY25 cumulative change over the prior year is a reduction of 0.5% and the most recent months are trending down. Projected sales tax revenue for FY26 ($7.45 million) represents a 2% decline on the projected total for FY25 ($7.6 million). Administration is taking this conservative approach based on the trend in recent months and years and increased speculation of a potential downturn in the economy. Farmington has relied heavily on sales tax funding, with sales tax being its largest single revenue source for operations, representing roughly half of ongoing sources. There is a lot to be optimistic about for the future sales tax potential of the City as North Station Park continues to develop and the County’s Western Sports Park (WSP) is nearing completion. It may take a few years for that growth to come to fruition. Regarding staffing and pay, the budget includes a 5% combination of cost-of-living increase and merit to all full-time employees and elected officials, excluding Police Department officers. In lieu, officers will get adjusted on the step and grade scale based on years of experience. Therefore, increases will vary by officer. Budget adjustments and allocations between funds have been updated to reflect current staffing and time spent in providing services to the City’s various programs. Administration reviewed how employee wages were being allocated across funds and updated them to be more accurate based on work performed. These changes resulted in about $206,000 of Fire wages and $65,000 of Public Works wages shifting out of the General Fund and into the Ambulance and Enterprise Funds. Regarding overhead allocations, it is appropriate to allocate costs incurred to General Fund departments which support the operations of utility enterprise funds. In the past, only Administration costs were being allocated. That has been expanded to include City Attorney and City Manager. The result is nearly $130,000 of additional expenses shifting out of the General Fund and into the Enterprise Funds. A new Street Maintenance Worker position has been added, bringing the total full-time employees to 113. The position is completely funded with Class C road funds, as they will work primarily on concrete repairs and road maintenance. This position will help prevent the City from having to pay outside contractors to do small jobs. The slowing of sales tax growth has put pressure on the General Fund’s ability to cover ongoing expenses with ongoing revenues. Property tax increases in recent years are proving essential to the financial stability of the General Fund. This FY26 recommended budget includes several key elements which were implemented in order to balance the General Fund without a property tax increase. A property tax increase is not proposed in this budget. Up until FY25, the Recreation, Arts, and Parks (RAP) tax was largely committed to pay debt service on a $3.5 million bond for a portion of the 650 West Gymnasium and Park construction costs. That debt was paid off in FY25, making these funds uncommitted. The RAP tax generates about $384,000 annually. The FY26 recommended budget includes a $150,000 ongoing RAP tax transfer to the General Fund for ongoing recreation operations. There is also an additional $500,000 one-time transfer to the General Fund for recreation-related capital projects. The General Fund heavily subsidizes the Recreation Fund, and these RAP tax transfers ease that burden. Farmington City Council, May 6, 2025 Page 7 The budget anticipates $485,000 of additional revenue in the General Fund due to building permits and the timing of development projects. Building permits cannot be relied on as a sustainable ongoing revenue source. However, in FY26, these additional funds will greatly help balance the General Fund. The FY26 budget includes an increase on all utilities, averaging an 8% increase. The proposed rate increases are necessary to ensure that ongoing revenues are sufficient to cover operating expenses. The rate increases will also aid the City in addressing proper maintenance and replacement of critical existing infrastructure. The Sewer District’s 7.8% increase is just a pass- through, meaning Farmington has no control over it. Implementation of a green waste program is being considered for FY26. The recommended budget includes $270,000 for the purchase of cans. A final decision has not been made, and the details of this program will continue to be discussed with the Council. The fees and additional expenses potentially related to this program will be incorporated into the budget through a budget amendment at a later date. Davis said there were some unfunded budget requests. For example, old water infrastructure won’t be replaced at this time. The water pipes under the ground are worth millions of dollars. He said it is worth treating and compensating employees well, as it helps with retention and saves money over time. Motion: Layton moved that the City Council adopt the tentative FY26 municipal budget. Councilmember Alex Leeman seconded the motion. All Councilmembers voted in favor, as there was no opposing vote.

Up until Fiscal Year 2025, property tax increment received in the Fund #20 Highway 89 RDA fund was used to pay debt service on a $1.139 million bond for construction of a portion of the 650 West Gymnasium and Park. This debt was paid off in FY2025, allowing $64,000 of additional property tax in the General Fund. The Fund #22 Station Park RDA area can now be closed, allowing $370,000 of additional property tax in the General Fund. Motion: RDA Member Scott Isaacson moved that the RDA board ratify the adoption of the tentative FY25-26 RDA budget and set the public hearing for June 17, 2025. Councilmember Amy Shumway seconded the motion. All RDA members voted in favor, as there was no opposing vote.

RDA member Roger Child X Aye ____ Nay RDA member Scott Isaacson X Aye ____ Nay RDA member Melissa Layton X Aye ____ Nay RDA member Alex Leeman X Aye ____ Nay RDA member Amy Shumway X Aye ____ Nay SUMMARY ACTION: Minute Motion Approving Summary Action List The Council considered the Summary Action List including: • Item 1: Change Order for Ivy Acres Park to have the contractor install landscape medians abutting the park during park construction. • Item 2: Agreement Related to Vacation of a Portion of 1100 West Street. With a previously approved Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) and lot split, a new lot is permitted on the north side of the property, which has yet to start construction. Improvements for this subdivision include a narrowing of the road and an enhanced pedestrian bike experience with a wider sidewalk section that is part of a trail opportunity along the west side of 1100 West. This connects from Farmington Creek to the West Davis Corridor Trail. Assistant City Manager/City Engineer Chad Boshell said this will be in FY27 in order to finish this off. Staff agrees to finishing off 1100 West, especially with the opening of the WSP. • Item 3: Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with Davis County for Municipal Election Services for vote-by-mail and a voting machine for those requesting it on Election Day, when they will vote on a paper ballot. • Item 4: Resolution Adopting the 2025 Polling Locations and Vote Centers. The polling location for Farmington City has been designated at the Farmington Community Center, 120 S. Main Street. • Item 5: Approval of April 15, 2025 and April 16, 2025 Minutes. Motion: Child moved to approve the Summary Action list Items 1-5 as noted in the Staff Report. Layton seconded the motion. All Council members voted in favor, as there was no opposing vote. Mayor Pro Tempore/Councilmember Alex Leeman X Aye ____ Nay Councilmember Roger Child X Aye ____ Nay Farmington City Council, May 6, 2025 Page 10 Councilmember Scott Isaacson X Aye ____ Nay Councilmember Melissa Layton X Aye ____ Nay Councilmember Amy Shumway X Aye ____ Nay GOVERNING BODY REPORTS: City Manager Report Mellor said he is meeting with Senator Jerry W. Stevenson to see if Farmington could qualify for a tourism tax. This could help fund a police officer at Lagoon and the WSP. Mayor Anderson and City Council Reports Layton asked if the City could declare May ALS month. Mayor Anderson said the City has not typically done those sorts of things. Mellor said feedback about the new 911 dispatch has been great from the City’s perspective. When Farmington had dispatch through Davis County, fire was on one system and police was on another. Now they are both back on the same system, which the police prefer. Isaacson noted that the WSP sign recently was offensively bright, but said it just may be because they are testing it out. Shumway said she would like to go through a mock version of an application process a developer may go through in Farmington including realistic numbers such as financing, impact fees, profit margins, etc. She wants to see what a developer goes through. Mellor said impact fees are established by study and are being scrutinized all the time. Impact fees are a lot lower in Murray and Bountiful because those cities are built out. Staff typically spends more time with smaller developers because they are not familiar with the process. Child noted that Farmington does not require conversion of water rights, which offsets the high impact fees. Water can cost as much or more than impact fees. Shumway noted research presented at a recent women’s leadership institute that showed women and girls are not thriving in Utah. She noted two recent domestic violence situations in Farmington, and said victims should be made aware of resources. She also asked if Farmington could pass a resolution that addresses this issue like other cities in Utah have. Layton said Utah’s rape number are above the national average, and one of the preventive factors is higher education. She appreciates Farmington’s student of the month program that often recognizes kids who are not always the ones getting the perfect grades. Isaacson noted the Youth City Council program that has a lot of female high school students on it. Mellor said there needs to be a balance. As Farmington is becoming more of an urban area, this is uncharted territory. Farmington has to start thinking more as a City. Leeman said Farmington needs to stay out of the resolution, program implementation, and month declaration business. It would attract more solicitations than the City already gets, and put the City in a bad situation in the case they get one that they don’t want to support. The City is better off not trying to figure out ways to support things and entertain solicitations. Leeman said the trees on 950 North at the entrance to the City need some attention, as do the trees in front of the justice complex. Boshell said the County Facility Manager recognizes the need, and they would like to carry the landscaping from the WSP as far as they can. Farmington City Council, May 6, 2025 Page 11 Boshell provided an update to Main Street, saying he hoped to have it open Friday or next week. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will come in June and October to overlay the rest. Mellor said Glover was done quickly in two days. Child noted yellow water in adjacent streets from the new water lines. Boshell said it should clear up after it is chlorinated. If not, Staff should be notified. Mayor Anderson said Harv Jeppson is considering micro senior homes instead of an RV Park since they serve a need and help the City, but is concerned about the political heat. They would pay a monthly fee to rent the plot. Leeman said the senior micro houses look darling and are affordable. Issacson said he would rather have those than an RV park. ADJOURNMENT Motion: Child made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 9:00 p.m. Leeman seconded the motion. All Council members voted in favor, as there was no opposing vote.
