their powers to improve the lives of the citizens.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: None.
SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS:
Presentation of the Storm Water Management Program and Plan (City Engineer Brandon
Jones)
City Engineer Brandon Jones presented The Annual Storm Water Training for City Council. He
also explained that a Storm Water Management Program Plan (SWMP) has been proposed for
consideration by the City Council, which is a “written plan that is used to describe the various
control measures and activities the Permittee will undertake to implement the storm water
management plan.” He said that the plan is required by the EPA and provides guidance and
measurable goals. He also said that the annual training is required for all who deal with storm
water issues in the City. A copy of the proposed plan had been distributed to City Council
members.
He reviewed the definitions of many words used in the proposed plan including: Minimum
Control Measure (MCM), Best Management Practices (BMPs), Permittee/MS4 and Waters of
the State – snowpack, reservoirs, streams, rivers, ponds, groundwater and the Great Salt Lake.
He focused his presentation on the six Minimum Control Measures (MCMs) and explained that
each MCM section contains tasks, goals, deadlines and action items. The six MCMs include:
1. Public Education and Outreach
2. Public Involvement and Participation
3. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
4. Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control
5. Long-Term Storm Water Management in New Development and Redevelopment
6. Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping
City Engineer Brandon Jones also highlighted Ted Perry who was in attendance and is
responsible for all the City’s storm water issues as well as keeping the City’s website page on
storm water up to date. He concluded by observing that the SWMP is a comprehensive plan
that covers all facets of the City’s storm water program. He also reminded the City Council that it
requires their involvement as well as the public works and the residents. Implementation
requires time and manpower, both initially and on-going.
City Engineer Brandon Jones addressed questions from the City Council about the proposed
plan and reminded them as they move forward and come across a need in the budget for storm
control measures – they will understand why.
PUBLIC HEARING:
Council Member Diane Anderson made a motion to move to a public hearing to discuss the
proposed Storm Water Management Plan. The motion was seconded by Council Member
Eileen Moss, and it was approved unanimously.

Council Adopting Storm Water Management Plan.
Mayor John Pohlman thanked Ted Perry for the work that he does for the City. City Engineer
Brandon Jones explained that the State wanted to see the plan come before the City Council
and felt that a resolution was the best way to show that the City Council is on board with the
plan. Mayor John Pohlman also mentioned that two Public Hearings would be held six months

out 30 days ago to residents and they had a period to respond. He explained to the City Council
that the City has followed the procedures for the annexation.
After brief discussion, Council Member Florence Sadler made a motion to approve the
Annexation of 12.623 Acres into the Corporate Boundaries of Fruit Heights City. The motion
was seconded by Council Member George Ray and it was approved three to one with all City

CITY COUNCIL & STAFF REPORTS:
Council Member Eileen Moss suggested some items to consider in the future when reviewing
items for the City Budget. First, she recommended adding cement pads by the bike trail to allow
for portable bathrooms. She also mentioned that donations from bikers could help with the cost
of the portable bathrooms. Second, she recommended finding a resident that is close to the bike
trail and see if they would be willing to leave their garbage can out for bikers to use in exchange
for a discount on their bill.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Fruit Heights City Mayor and Council
FROM: Brandon K. Jones, P.E.
Fruit Heights City Engineer
CC: Ted Parry – Fruit Heights City Storm Water Superintendent
Darren Frandsen – Fruit Heights City Public Works Director
RE: STORM WATER PRESENTATION
Date: March 1, 2022
______________________________________________________________________________
As of 2002 municipalities in Davis County became classified as Small MS4s (Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems). As Small MS4s each city is required to comply with UPDES
(Utah Pollution Discharge Elimination System) General Permit requirements. On May 12, 2021,
the new General Permit became effective. The new permit, among other things, requires that
MS4s create a new Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP). This plan has been created, and a
general overview of the plan will be presented to the City Council.
Due to the many complexities of creating, implementing, and maintaining the SWMP and the
overall storm water program in compliance with the regulations, it was felt that it would be
beneficial to give a presentation on the program to the City Council. The purpose of the
presentation is to: 1) educate the City Council and the public about the general tenants of the
storm water program, 2) inform the City Council and the public on how Fruit Heights is striving
to meet the requirements of the permit, and 3) help the City Council understand the funding
needs to administer the program.

______________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
The city (via Ted Parry) submitted the new Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) to the State
Division of Water Quality prior to its due date of November 8, 2021. One of the requirements of
the SWMP is certification from the city that the SWMP was prepared under their direction, by
qualified personnel, and that the information “to the best of their knowledge” is true, accurate,
and complete. For this purpose, on March 1, 2022, Jones & Associates will make a presentation
on the Storm Water Program to the entire City Council. The presentation will cover an overview
of the Storm Water Program including addressing all 6 Minimum Control Measures (MCM’s)
required in the SWMP. The purpose of the SWMP coming before the City Council is to
officially adopt the plan by resolution and authorize Darren (Public Works Director) to sign the
Certification (see Section 8).
SWMP SUMMARY
The SWMP is made up of 8 sections. The sections covering the MCM’s (sections 2 – 7) each
contain the following subsections, a) Fruit Heights’s Plan to Meet the Requirements of the
Permit, b) Areas of Focus, and c) Specific Goals with Methods of Evaluation.
1. Introduction. This section covers an overview of the purpose and general requirements of
the storm water permit and program. It lists the main point of contact, Ted Parry. It also
includes tables that address deadlines and inspection requirements.
2. MCM 1 – Public Education and Outreach on Stormwater Impacts. This section covers
how the city will help to educate the public about stormwater pollution and prevention.
Some of these efforts include the city’s involvement with the Davis County Stormwater
Coalition as well as training and educational information provide to the public through a
variety of means.
3. MCM 2 – Public Involvement / Participation. This section covers the public’s
involvement in stormwater pollution prevention. One of the city’s goals for this section is
to hold a public hearing at least twice a year to receive feedback from the public.

completed by this coming July 2022. The city will also inspect 33% of their stormwater
outfalls on an annual basis.
5. MCM 4 – Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control. This section covers how the city
reviews plans, inspects construction sites and ensures that effective Best Management
Practices (BMP’s) are designed, in place and maintained by those responsible for the
construction activities (which includes the city themselves for all projects that disturb
more than an acre of ground).
6. MCM 5 – Long-Term Stormwater Management. This section covers how the city reviews
the design, implementation, and maintenance of permanent BMP’s. It also covers the
design and use Low Impact Development (LID) principles and practices.
7. MCM 6 – Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations. This
section covers stormwater pollution prevention for city owned and/or operated facilities.
One of the goals of this section is to create SOP’s for all facilities by July 2023.
