Staff): 52 Public Works Director Nelson 53 • Before the meeting some discussion was held regarding a city truck that has a diesel storage 54 tank in the back. 55 • 400 South update- City Engineer Craig Rasmussen had a death in the family so he has been 56 out, but the project will be posted in a week or so. 57 • Years ago a bid was put in for a screen and projector in the city building to show what was 58 being looked at by the council, but at that time it was too expensive to proceed. PWD Nelson 59 ■ had Lynn's Audio and Video provide a bid to install a 75 inch TV on the wall with the 60 associated equipment to connect wirelessly, plus two other units that could be connected by 61 wire. The bid which includes install and equipment is $2,638.98. Previously was over $7,000. 62 FD Grover has another vendor he'd like to get a quote from. Mayor Rasmussen asked about a 63 projector instead of a TV.PWD Nelson shared that there are lighting issues with a projector, 64 where with a TV you don't need to tum the lights off. Also, with a TV there is more ease of 65 access and less time to connect. 66 67 Finance Director Grover 68 • Question from the last council meeting about the reason why the sewer fund was under budget 69 on expenditures - we have about $238,000 unspent on capital projects, which is why it is low. 70 There are no anomalies, other than planning and zoning is close to budget because ofa pass- 71 through expense. Councilmember Wright asked when the Dan Hogan item is supposed to be 72 paid. PWD Nelson talked to Mr. Hogan on the phone and he indicated he would submit a 73 check. The city has already paid the bill so he needs to pay. A check has not yet been received. 74 The city is waiting to receive the funds - the council will give it one more council meeting and 75 see if it has been received. 76 77 Treasurer Wilker 78 • She presented and answered questions regarding the list of bills to be paid. 79 80 Councilmember Clausen moved to "pay the bills as listed." Councilmember Thatcher 81 seconded the motion, which passed with Clausen, Gallup, Milbank,Thatcher and Wright in 82 favor. No one opposed. 83 84 Councilmember Thatcher had nothing to report. 85 86 Councilmember Milbank had nothing to report. 87 88 Councilmember Clausen had nothing to report. 89 90 Councilmember Gallup had nothing to report. 91 92 Councilmember Wright River Heights City Council Meeting, 2/18/20 • The Planning Commission has agreed to hold meetings at 6:30 instead of7. It would be nice to have both council and planning commission meetings at the same time. Councilmember Wright 95 doesn't think there is a defined meeting time in the code like the City Council Meeting, but we 96 probably need to provide notice ofthe change publicly. When Recorder Lind gets back they 97 will review. The new start time will start in March. 98 99 Recorder Lind was absent. 100 101 Mayor Rasmussen 102 • Mayor Rasmussen brought up the status of the old church. Shared past thoughts from the 103 council. City had felt to keep the building and not demolish. Tony Johnson's proposal was to 104 renovate the building with some sort of housing/work/live space. That is what his proposal 105 request includes. Mr. Johnson's was the only proposal submitted that fit the criteria. No more 106 than 12 units. Councilmember Gallup asked about the square footage per unit. Councilmember 107 Thatcher would like to press for condos instead of apartments so that there is ownership pride 108 in property. Mr. Johnson wants to rent them. Mayor suggested reviewing line item by line item. 109 Councilmember Thatcher mentioned that 55+ type units were discussed. Property has approx 110 1.2 acres. 111 112 $200,000 was offered by Mr. Johnson for the property. He has proposed to pay for half now 113 and half later. Councilmember Wright suggested asking for the whole amount up front. Council 114 felt that asking for the whole amount has less risk for the city. City could ask for an appraisal. Councilmember Thatcher in favor of an appraisal. Resident Cindy Schaub said a commercial appraisal would be about $3000. The Tony Johnson offer is good until March 5th. 117 Councilmember Thatcher asked if anyone has a sense of whether an appraisal would come in 118 significantly higher than $200,000. Is it worth time and money to get the appraisal, vrith only 119 the one proposal? Councilmember Clausen said there will likely be some discussions about the 120 price, etc. Mayor feels if we do an appraisal it should start now. Councilmember Thatcher 121 mentioned that in the proposal it talks about the historical register. PWD Nelson wondering if 122 renegotiation, agreements and stipulations can take place later. It was answered that, yes, we 123 can. Councilmember Thatcher pointed out on the last page some items regarding museum, 124 stage or gym, which could be made available to city residents at no or reduced cost on a 125 scheduled use. Councilmember Thatcher would like to know ifthere would be handicapped 126 accessibility for all units. Developer wants to keep a community space with separate 127 community restrooms. Also wants to make the parking area and whole place look nicer in the 128 community. Proposal indicates 12 units - Mayor asked Councilmember Thatcher if she wants to 129 limit the size of the units in square feet. Councilmember Wright suggests letting the developer 130 explain his proposal in more detail. He also says there could be a zoning restriction. 131 Councilmember Wright would like to see what this building could look like, not a building 132 from Provo, as pictured in the proposal. He feels we need more information. Mayor 133 Rasmussen is wondering if 12 units is satisfactory for the city? Councilmember Clausen wants 134 to know ifthey will be sold or rented? Councilmember Milbank asked ifthe city wants to sell 135 and if it costs the city money to rent? Councilmember Clausen said it is an eyesore and we want 136 to do something with it before it continues to deteriorate. Councilmember Thatcher feels 137 homeowners would be a more desirable demographic than renters. Community sentiment will probably be mixed. It will probably end up like the old gas station where we will get more River Heights City Council Meeting, 2/18/20 139 residents coming to these discussions once there is more to talk about. Councilmember Wright 140 doesn't have a problem with 12 residential units, but wants to know what kind of units: college 141 students, over 55, what is the target market? How to deal with parking? What would the 142 neighborhood want? Mayor Rasmussen shared that this is all contingent on approval ofthe 143 project. Mayor could share that the council is concerned about a lot of things, and ask if Mr. 144 Johnson is willing to risk that? Resident Schaub asked if Mr. Johnson is looking to add on to 145 the building?(the vacant lot) Councilmember Thatcher would like to see garages and parking 146 overflow for the city. Councilmember Wright would want a stipulation that the city get parking 147 overflow for the park, such as for Apple Days. This would have to go through zoning approval. 148 Councilmember Wright mentioned that if he were the buyer he'd want confirmation that what 149 he wants to do will fly. So he should want to have more of these things nailed down. 150 Councilmember Wright and Thatcher have a list of things. Wants $200,000 up front. Mr. 151 Johnson is a busy man with a lot of projects going on. This could be under construction for a 152 long time. We ought to require a security of performance, such as we do with a subdivider or 153 developer, and include some milestone dates. This gives the city some ability to go in and wrap 154 something up if it isn't done in a timely manner. We ought to have first right to purchase the 155 property back or take it back ifthings don't work out. Councilmember Clausen also brought up 156 that if things do work out do we have the option to buy it back at some time in the future. 157 Consensus is that the city wouldn't buy back if things work out, but it may be something to 158 consider. Mayor Rasmussen feels that there needs to be a clause that if the city ever feels the 159 direction is going in a direction they don't like they can have first choice to buy it back. 160 Councilmember Wright's list also included that he likes the over 55 status. Mayor Rasmussen 161 asked how you would control demographics ofsome apartments and not for others? 162 Councilmember Wright said state law defines a family as a certain number of individuals 163 related by blood, adoption or marriage. Parking concerns - garage vs. covered/uncovered. 164 Making sure the city gets use rights to part of the parking lot. Would like to see images specific 165 to this project. Councilmember Thatcher would also like to know: Number and size of units, 166 Handicapped accessible. Public space and how it is organized - the city doesn't need a museum 167 - larger public meeting space that could be rented out would be nice. Councilmember Wright 168 feels that if we sell to Mr. Johnson we can't have all control over the public meeting space, we 169 need to give him some decision power. We also have the old school we can use for some of 170 these things. Councilmember Milbank asked ifthe city will do a counter proposal? Mayor 171 Rasmussen mentioned all ofthis needs to be in writing. Councilmember Clausen feels we need 172 to feel him out before some of these decisions can be made. We want more specificity. Mayor 173 Rasmussen could go back to him to state that the council has a lot of questions - and ask if he 174 would you like to receive a written response, or come discuss with the council in person? 175 Councilmember Clausen asked about a clause regarding "current tenants" - what does that 176 mean? Further clarification needed. Mayor Rasmussen to take these concerns to Mr. Johnson 177 and ask if he can extend the date of March 5th. Councilmember Wright asked if the financial 178 statement was required by the city. Feels we need an updated financial statement from the 179 entity purchasing the property. Councilmember Clausen feels this could be a really good thing 180 for the city to get $200,000, and get something we like. If we tear it down or rehabilitate it 181 could cost more than that. Councilmember Wright suggests telling him that the council wants 182 to work this out with him and make it work. It will have a historical preservation feel. He also 183 talked about a live/work situation where some people could have an office/living quarters in 184 their unit. Mayor Rasmussen mentioned that we can't tax some services that use a live/work River Heights City Council Meeting, 2/18/20 unit. Mayor Rasmussen will bring that up with Mr. Johnson. Councilmember Wright went back to the appraisal - if we can get something as nice as the images he sent he would be fine with 187 the $200,000. Wants to do what is right for the city, rather than worry about a completion 188 deadline. Mayor Rasmussen feels that we can forgo the estimate and stay with the $200,000, 189 since we have a lot of stipulations. Discussed closing costs: Resident Schaub feels there would 190 be under $2000 for closing costs. No realtor would need to be involved. The city's lawyer 191 could represent the city. Felt that this is a good start - council doesn't feel we need the appraisal 192 and that we are interested in making this work. Will request a follow-up proposal from Mr. 193 Johnson. 194 195 Public Comment: Resident Cindy Schaub addressed PWD Nelson asking if curbs can be 196 painted in the spring and additional signs installed that indicate no parking, and where additional 197 parking is, across the street from Ryan's Place Park. 198 The meeting adjourned at 7:42 p.m. 199 200 201 202 Joe Ames, Minute Taker 203 204 Todd A.
