50 Reports and Approval ofPayments CMavor. Council. Staff):
51
52 Public Works Director Nelson
53 • The 700 South Sidewalk Project has been signed off for substantial completion. He and
54 Engineer Rasmussen both agreed. The final grading between the sidewalk and road will be
55 finished up when weather permits. Councilmember Thatcher asked if asphalt will be installed
56 in areas between the sidewalk and asphalt. Mr. Nelson responded that it will stay how it is now
57 because ofstormwater regulations. He may need to fill in with gravel as it settles.
58 • Mayor Rasmussen asked Treasurer Wilker if she had pulled the financial report for him to pass
59 on to UDOT for the grant reimbursement on the 700 South sidewalk. She responded that she
60 needed to talk with Financial Director Grover first for some clarification.
61 • Mr. Nelson stated the Old Church has been added to the city's insurance policy. The Opera
62 Company had surprisingly cleaned out one ofthe rooms in the building, so he and Cameron
63 Reed will move the Apple Days items in. He will have the locks changed on the south side to
64 fit our city keys.
65 • He informed that he received a door hanger at his home (in Providence)from a group
66 concerned about the life cycle residential zone and Providence's plan. It listed some upcoming
67 meetings in Providence. He will scan and forward it to the River Heights council members for
68 their information.
69
70 Finance Director Grover
71 • The auditor will give his report at the January 8 council meeting.
72 • The budgets are tracking very well.
73
74 Treasurer Wilker
75 • She presented and answered questions regarding the list of bills to be paid.
76 • Councilmember Clausen reminded that he received the okay to buy(in behalf of the city) the
77 Weston water shares. They have 24.58 shares (at $250/share). They owe the irrigation
78 company assessment for 2017($1,280) and 2018 ($1,290). The Westons have agreed the city
79 can write them a check for the shares, less the back assessments ($3,575). The city would then
80 be billed by the irrigation company for the past assessments. Mr. Clausen requested a check be
81 approved to pay the Weston's for the shares. Treasurer Wilker agreed to cut it but will hold it
82 until the city is in possession of the share certificates. She mentioned, this may require a copy
83 of the Weston trust, stating the sons have the authority to sell the shares. Mr. Clausen will
84 work with Weston's to get this information and notify the irrigation company ofthe change in
85 shareholders.
86 • Ms. Wilker explained the Providence City bill (#23). She received a call from Jesse, of
87 Providence, who is under the direction of Skarlet Bankhead. He informed that River Heights
88 owes Providence $7,000. It turns out that $6,400 was actually a current bill that came last
89 week. Providence felt River Heights owes them $1,000 from a couple years ago for ball
90 diamond dirt. PWD Nelson explained to her that they had an agreement to trade the dirt for
91 Providence's use of the RH ball diamond since theirs wasn't usable at the time. RH had also
River Heights City Council Meeting, 12/11/18
agreed to not charge Providence for field prep. He had agreed RH would pay for part ofthe
dirt if the cost exceeded what they felt was fair. However,Providence didn't ever notify RH
94 that more was owed or send a bill.
95 Another part of the bill was for legal fees in 2016 that Mayor Brackner recognized RH
96 was billed for but it was for tickets issued in Providence. RH overpaid $240 to Providence
97 before realizing what had happened. When it was discovered, Providence said they would
98 credit it back, however, they can't show where the credit was noted. They don't issue
99 statements, only invoices, so there's no way to know the detail of the bill. However, Jesse
100 agrees that Providence owes RH $240.
101 Ms. Wilker pointed out that every year she has to call Providence to remind them to bill
102 RH for the library. Now, Skarlet wants to assess a $110 late fee, which she will not remove.
103 They agreed to reduce the $1,000 by $360 (an overpayment on an attorney bill that didn't
104 belong to RH)and the $240 RH overpaid, which leaves $440.
105 Because part of this bill comes out of parks, Councilmember Wilson discussed it with
106 FD Grover. They felt the city should not enter into any verbal agreements. The mayor and
107 council agreed. He suggested a memo of understanding. The group felt RH wasn't being dealt
108 with fairly, but agreed it wasn't worth fighting Providence over.
109 PWD Nelson was asked how the sand and salt is handled with Providence. He said they
110 have an honor system that has worked very well. He picks up sand and salt from Providence
111 when its needed. He records what he takes and notifies Providence monthly so they can bill
112 RH. He was advised to get a memo of understanding in place with Providence for the price of
113 salt.
• The Landmark bill was discussed, regarding the 700 South Sidewalk Project. The amount
doesn't include retainage of$10,609.54 which the city is holding until the project is fully
116 completed.
117
118 Councilmember Clausen moved to ^^pay the bills as listed, with the addition of$3,575 to
119 Westons for water shares." Councilmember Thatcher seconded the motion, which passed with
120 Clausen, Scott, Thatcher and Wright in favor. Wilson was absent. No one opposed.
121
122 Councilmember Thatcher
123 • She thanked everyone for their help on the Tree Lighting Event.
124 • She plans to send out royalty/ambassadors' information with the next newsletter.
125
126 Councilmember Scott didn't have anything.
127
128 Councilmember Clausen
129 • Mr. Clausen has found out the city can apply for TAP funds for non-motorized sidewalks and
130 trails. He talked to Engineer Rasmussen about helping the city apply for 1000 East sidewalk
131 funds. They will specify in the application that the city will pay 50%, which will increase the
132 likelihood ofreceiving funding.
133 • He attended a meeting put on by the Utah League. There was a lot of information about
134 affordable housing, which RH is not subject to because of size. However, if we wanted to get
135 involved in it, we may be able to get some funding.
