He will get permission from the Council before doing so. 61 • He asked for a schedule on capital projects before the end of the year. PWD Nelson informed 62 there should be an expense for the wellhouse. Last he heard, Engineer Dursteller was going to 63 talk with the company who had started the analysis. If they aren't able to come by next week to 64 finish up their inspection he will look for someone else. 65 • Councilmember Thatcher asked about the irrigation leak on 600 East and if it could be fixed 66 this year. PWD Nelson said the problem is, the ditch elevation is higher than the road. 67 Councilmember Milbank thought the problem was due to leaking at the pipe joints. 68 • Councilmember Milbank said the rock for Saddlerock Park will need to be paid for by the end 69 of the year. It is finished except for adding the base. He and Councilmember Wright are going 70 to meet to discuss Stewart Hill Park, but they don't foresee any expenses. Mr. Wright stated 71 there may be some design costs. 72 73 Treasurer Wilker 74 • She presented and answered questions regarding the list of bills to be paid. Discussion was 75 held on the invoice from Total Tree Care and what it was for. Mayor Rasmussen said the city 76 needs to track the tree expenses so it can be applied to being a Tree City USA.

It was decided that 110 * they probably shouldn't hold one because of COVID. 111 112 Public Comment: Heather Lehnig said she and her neighbor, Richard Bemsten, have a concern i about the retaining wall on the property between them, where a new!home is being built. They feel it 1 iH should be engineered because it's over 4 feet tall, in order to protect Mr. Bemsten's property. Mayor 115 Rasmussen said he arid PWD Nelson will t^e a look at it. Meanwhile, Ms. Lehnig could call Cache 116 County Developmental Services to make sure they are aware ofinspecting it. 117 Sheila Lind commented on the farm animal issue (later on the agenda). She likes living in a 118 residential area, not on a farm. 119 Discuss Possible CARES Act Expenditures: Mayor Rasmussen reminded that the state had 120 COVID funding available, which he has'applied for each time it's been available. He has been in 121 contact with Jeff Young, of Alltech (technology company). Mr. Young has looked extensively into the 122 CARES act guidelines on how the money can be spent. Technology is one thing it will cover based on 123 providing improved communication with citizens. Mayor Rasmussen could see the benefit of better 124 technology for River Heights into the future. Mr. Young has met with staff and had discussion with 125 the mayor and FD Grover about the needs of the city. Mr. Young has given a general idea of what his 126 company can supply and the cost(which would come directly from the CARES riioney). It would be a 127 state of the art system which would include: microphones, computer terminals that could be used 128 during the meeting, cameras thafwould allow the public to see all council members,speaker system, 129 and podium with microphone. The mayor would also like to have some equipment in the old school 130 auditorium to be used as a back-up for large group meetings. He suggested a projector and wifi linked 131 to the city building. A server would be needed which would act as a control access point. A firewall 132 would add protection. This equipment would also allow city workers to be able to access city files 133 from home with a secure connection. The phone system could be upgraded to allow each 134 councilperson to have an app on their own phone through a city phone line. River Heights City Council Meeting, 10/20/20 135 Mayor Rasmussen thought the total amount of CARES money the city would receive would be 136 about $168,000. The bid for the new technology equipment is around $150,000. This would also 137 include updated laptops and some additional items for the city shop. 138 Mayor Rasmussen said Alltech is interested in purchasing the equipment for the city, but not 139 maintaining it. Their package price includes installation, or the city could have someone else do it. 140 The state has a deadline of November 7 to spend the CARES money before its given to other cities. 141 Because the money isn't included in the budget, the expense doesn't need council approval. A bid is 142 also not required because of the short timeframe and it's doubtful anyone else can get the equipment at 143 such a good price. Councilmember Clausen suggested noting this in the file for future reference. 144 Mayor Rasmussen was concerned with how long the equipment would last and the replacement 145 costs. He suggested setting aside money for maintenance. He also would like to consider looking to 146 hire a tech company who would work with the city on preventative maintenance. He felt the system 147 would be well worth it since the need for online meetings will increase. Councilmember Thatcher 148 agreed. 149 Mayor Rasmussen recognized the situation as unique and expressed trust in Jeff Young and his 150 company to get the city a fair price on equipment. He planned to go ahead with the purchase and said 151 Mr. Young needed to put in a bulk order on Friday. He asked the council to email him ifthey had 152 further concerns. 153 Discuss Possible Changes to City Code. Regarding the Allowance of Farm Animals in 154 Residential Zones: Councilmember Thatcher presented the comparisons she did with other cities in the 155 valley, which specified their codes on the allowance or non-allowance offarm type animals in 156 residential zones. She was surprised by how different the rules were in each. Mayor Rasmussen asked 157 for the discussion to include all animals, rather than just goats. 158 Councilmember Thatcher pointed out that the city doesn't have personnel to handle complaints. 159 She thought lot size should be a consideration and was not opposed to small livestock in residential 160 areas. 161 Councilmember Gallup read a text from an anonymous person who discussed the amount of 162 space livestock needs to be happy. She was concerned about the mess it would add, extra rodents and 163 animal droppings. There were a number of other concerns not in favor. 164 Mayor Rasmussen read an email from Gayle Pence, who was not in favor and hoped the 165 council would not allow goats,on residential properties. 166 Councilmember Milbank said the health of the animal is important and would like to see 167 specifications on space. 168 PWD Nelson has talked to people who own goats and they really like them, but agree they take 169 a lot of space. They are also good at getting out of pens if they don't have enough space. 170 Christine Roberts had a number of concerns about goats on a half-acre. She said at 171 Zimmerman's the animals would be visible because of how the lot is setup. Although this property is 172 on a half-acre, the structures take up part ofthat space. She didn't want to live in a farm area when she 173 moved to River Heights. 174 Councilmember Gallup said she has given the issue a lot ofthought and felt a half-acre was not 175 enough space for farm type animals. She would consider it with one acre lots. 176 Cindy Schaub said River Heights is a residential community, not farming, and doesn't want the 177 code changed. 178 Councilmember Clausen said he is happy with the way things are and agreed with Ms. Schaub. 179 He didn't care what other cities allowed and didn't feel farm animals would be appropriate in 180 residential areas. River Heights City Council Meeting, 10/20/20 ~' Mayor Rasmussen asked who dictated that River Heights should be all residential zones. ' Councilmember Wright answered that in 1999 the General Plan said River Heights is a residential area. 183 The current agricultural zones have been there a long time and owners have chosen to keep them, 184 which the code allows. He felt the current code was sufficient and appreciated the time and effort the 185 planning commission put in before they made their decision not to change the code to allow goats in 186 residential areas. He felt the council had also done their due diligence. 187 Councilmember Thatcher asked if rabbits were allowed. Coimcilmember Wright said there are 188 provisions for domesticated animals. 189 Mayor Rasmussen asked ifthere would be value in allowing animals through a Conditional Use 190 Permit. Councilmember Thatcher said she would be open to other animals. 191 Councilmember Clausen wasn't in favor of a Conditional Use Permit at all. He agreed with the 192 Planning Commission's decision and felt the council should support it. 193 Councilmember Milbank expressed that people have different needs and they, as a council, 194 should address their needs: He noted there are a number of cars on some roads, which is allowed 195 because people need somewhere to park, which he sees as a bigger problem than goats. • 196 PWD Nelson pointed out there are people with larger agricultural properties who allow others 197 to keep animals on their property. 198 Mayor Rasmussen asked each council member for their decision. Councilmembers Milbank 199 and Thatcher were willing to look into making changes to allow farm animals in residential zones. 200 Councilmembers Clausen, Wright and Gallup all agreed to leave the code as is. Ms. Gallup informed 201 that she had checked with the county and found out there are 114 half-acre lot's in River Heights. 202 Mayor Rasmussen stated the planning commission's decision would stand. ' . I Councilmember Clausen was excused at 8:25pm. " Discuss Sidewalk Repairs: PWD Nelson informed there is a very long list of sidewalks that 205 need fixed. He has checked the code and found that when sidewalks are damaged by a citizen, the 206 citizen needs to stand the cost ofrepairs. He showed photos he had taken oflifted sidewalks due to 207 tree roots, which had been planted by homeowners. The city could fix the sidewalks but if something 208 doesn't happen with the trees, the problem will happen again. 209 Mayor Rasmussen felt the city should pull and replace the lifted sidewalks. The homeowner 210 should take care of the trees, within a time limit. PWD Nelson suggested the homeowner could take 2ir care of all ofit and the city pay half. 212 PWD Nelson discussed one of the photos that showed a cracked sidewalk that was clearly 213 caused by a vehicle driving on it., which should have been replaced by the builder. 214 Mayor Rasmussen suggested the city grind off the raised comers. PWD Nelson said in 215 Providence they decided replacing the section was cheaper than grinding. 216 Discussion was held on the vast number ofsidewalks that need to have something done with 217 them. PWD Nelson showed the list, which included 60 locations as a high priority. 218 Councilmember Wright said a big problem is that most people water their trees with the same 219 system they water their grass, which keeps the roots closer to the surface. He explained how he plans 220 to manage his tree roots. 221 Councilmember Thatcher felt the city should take care of, and pay for, replacing the problem 222 sidewalks and roots. Councilmember Wright wants to take care of his, himself. Mayor Rasmussen 223 suggested a form letter with options for homeowners to choose from. 224 PWD Nelson said right now is a good time to start some of these replacements. Timing will 225 soon be a problem since the weather can tum cold very quickly. River Heights City Council Meeting, 10/20/20 226 Mayor Rasmussen suggested asking Total Tree Care what the cost would be to mitigate the tree 227 roots so they can let the property owners know their options. 228 PWD Nelson will check on grinding costs. Councilmember Thatcher will draft a letter to 229 property owners for the council to review. She will also check with Total Tree Care to get some 230 prices. Mr. Nelson will start replacing those sidewalks which have no fault by the homeowner. He 231 suggested they could rent a grinder to see what the cost would be. 232 They agreed the city will pay for the concrete and the homeowner will take care of the tree root 233 problem. Mayor Rasmussen suggested an instruction sheet from Total Tree Care explaining how to 234 take of their tree roots and asking them to do an inspection before the concrete is poured. 235 Mayor Rasmussen gave an update on the Old School. Two groups are using the building now. 236 The front door lock will be changed. The renters will take care of cleaning the building. One group 237 will use 8 rooms and the other group will use 3. There is still a lot furniture to deal with that he is 238 getting organized to sell. 239 Discussion and clarifications were made on the Old Church assignments given to the council 240 members by Mayor Rasmussen. 241 The meeting adjourned at 9:10 pm. 242 243 244 245 246 Sheila Lind, 247 24b Tpda a.

We live northwest of her home on the corner. We moved to River Heights 13 years ago. We love the small town, but city feel. If we would have wanted to live by animals, we would have moved to the countjy. I do not feel like the amount of property i she has Is adequate to have all the animals, ie.. Chickens, dogs,she has, and more importantly, there Is not adequate space between our homes to have the animals noise, smells, etc. I, myself, am afraid of her dogs. One of them was loose and oh my deck just last week. We don't feel like we can walk on that side of the sidewalk, and have to deal with the looks of the chain link fence with her many warning signs there. 1 feel like goats are definitely NOT an animal that should be in our city. I respectfully request that you consider us as neighbor's, and vote no on allowing the request to have goats on this property. https://maiI.google.com/maII/u/0?ik=589dfe4ee3&view=pt&search=all&permthid=thread-f%3A1681043408245921682&simpl-msg-f%3A16810434082... 1/1 other Cities' Animal Ordinances i Millville No limits stated on any animals.
