Pantry. They also had a Christmas party with the Kaysville YCC. They are preparing to do their annual Day on the
Hill where they learn about government processes and procedures.
4.2 Annual Training: Open and Public Meetings and Ethics Act. This training was given to the council by city
attorney Christopherson. The power point is attached to the agenda packet.
PUBLIC COMMENT: None
DISCUSSION ITEMS:
5.1 Public Hearing for Resolution 2025-01 Update Fruit Heights City Culinary Water Rates
In 2023, Fruit Heights hired Zions Bank and Jones & Associates for a water impact fee and rate study. In January
2024, the City Council approved the impact fee and first-year water rate schedules. The council plans to review
each year's rates independently. The city is currently on track with revenue from water billings. Due to a 9. 5%
increase in water costs from Weber Basin, the city will need to raise base fees and rates. A new rate structure
for areas without secondary water for irrigation is also needed. Staff recommend changes based on the study
and current revenue.
Council Member Eileen Moss made a motion to open the Public Hearing for Resolution 2025-01 Update Fruit
Heights City Culinary Water Rates. Council Member Gary Anderson seconded the motion, and it was
unanimously approved by the council (0:10)
No Public comments
Council Member Florence Sadler made a motion to close the Public Hearing for Resolution 2025-01 Update
Fruit Heights City Culinary Water Rates. Council Member Eileen Moss seconded the motion, and it was
unanimously approved by the council (0:11)
5.2 Public Hearing for Resolution 2025-02 Update Fruit Heights Consolidated Fee Schedule.
Directed by the City Council, the staff was asked to continue to keep the Consolidated Fee Schedule (CFS)
current. The current updates to the CFS include the storm drain fees, SWPPP, management of the SD program,
water rates, including when culinary water is used for irrigation, and updates to the building permit section. The
staff is also in the process of organizing the layout of the CFS to be more user-friendly.
Council Member Moss talked about the Alcoholic Beverages License, Agriculture Vendors License, Christmas
Tree Sales License, Fireworks Sales License, Itinerant or Transient Merchants License, Mechanical and Electronic
Amusement Device License, Pawnbrokers License, and Sexually Oriented Businesses License. They have not
been updated in years, and she feels the council should look at increasing these fees.
Council Member Eilleen Moss made a motion to open Public Hearing for Resolution 2025-02 Update Fruit
Heights Consolidated Fee Schedule. Council Member Gary Anderson seconded the motion, and it was
unanimously approved by the council (0:15)
No public Comments
Council Member Eileen Moss made a motion to close the Public Hearing for Resolution 2025-02 Update Fruit
Heights Consolidated Fee Schedule. Council Member Mark Cottrell seconded the motion, and it was
unanimously approved by the council (0:15)
5.3 Recycling Program
The staff has been putting together costs for a recycling program. Hauling, administrative and toter costs:
$56.25 per toter plus shipping charges. 2000 toters at $56.25 = $112,500.00. Shipping $9,679.19. Total
$122,179.19. We could get a discount of $30,000.00 ($15 per toter) paid back from Integrated Waste if we
bundle and own the toters. Cost to start the program would be $92,179.19. The first toter is no cost to
residents, that’s part of the start-up of the program. Any additional toters would be $95.00 apiece. The price
for recycling hauling is $4.00 per can this includes an admin fee. If the council would like to bundle the program
the cost to a resident would go from $15.50 to $19.50 per month for a single regular garbage toter and a single
recycling toter.
ACTION ITEMS:
6.1 Approve/Deny Resolution 2025-01 Update Fruit Heights City Culinary Water Rates.
Council Member Anderson wanted to clarify that the council is only passing the water rates for the year 2025.
The mayor stated they will pass the water rates on a yearly basis, instead of approving for the next 5 years at
one time. This way they can stay on top of it and not under or over charge for water.
Council Member Eileen Moss made a motion to approve the Resolution 2025-01 Update Fruit Heights City
Culinary Water Rates. Council Member Mark Cottrell seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously
approved by the council (0:54).
6.2 Approve/Deny Resolution 2025-02 Update Fruit Heights Consolidated Fee Schedule.
Council Member Moss knows the consolidated fee schedule has not been updated in many years and strongly
feels there should be a 50% increase to the fees associated with the licenses in question. These licenses are
more like vendors that come into the city for a short period of time. Council Member Sadler asked about the
fence permit and if it was for an existing fence that might need to be repaired. City Manager Frandsen told her
that permit is only for new fences. She asked if we could add that to the consolidated fee schedule to have it
say New Fence Permit.
Council Member Eileen Moss made a motion to approve the Consolidated Fee Schedule with the 50% increases
to Alcoholic Beverages License, Agriculture Vendors License, Christmas Tree Sales License, Fireworks Sales
License, Itinerant or Transient Merchants License, Mechanical and Electronic Amusement Device License,
Pawnbrokers License, and Sexually Oriented Businesses License. Also to add to the New Fence Permit. Council
Member Mark Cottrell seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved by the council. (0:58)
6.3 Approve November 15, 2024, City Council Minutes.
Council Member Eileen Moss made a motion to approve November 15, 2024, City Council Minutes with the
recommended changes. Council Member Mark Cottrell seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously
approved by the council (0:59)
