47
48 The River Heights City Council met at 6:30 p.m. in the Ervin R. Crosbie Council Chambers in the
49 River Heights City Building on Tuesday,July 20, 2021 for their regular council meeting.
50 Adoption of Previous Minutes and Agenda: Minutes for the July 6, 2021 meeting were reviewed.
51 Councilmember Wright moved to "adopt the minutes of the council meeting of July 6,2021 and
52 the evening's agenda." Councilmember Gallup seconded the motion, which passed with Clausen,
53 Gallup, Huntly,Mllbank, and Wright In favor. No one opposed.
54 Discussion with River Heights Youth Ambassadors: David Astle said they would like to spruce up
55 around the Ryan's Place Playground sign on August 11. They were willing to pull weeds, plant flowers and
56 add wood chips. Councilmember Gallup said they will work on getting donated wood chips. PWD Nelson
57 pointed out they use a specific color of wood chips that they get at a certain place. He was willing to pick
58 up the chips for the ambassadors to use. Councilmember Mllbank will check with Craig Adams to see if he
59 was still going to bring a crew for Ryan's Place Park cleanup day. Perhaps the two groups could
60 coordinate.
61 Reports and Approval of Payments(Mayor. Council. Staff):
62 Public Works Director Nelson
63 • The generator has stopped communicating with the well. Precision Power will come next week to
64 do a maintenance overall on it which will likely be expensive.
65 • Councilmember Clausen asked how the reservoir levels have been this summer. Mr. Nelson said
66 water usage has been the same as previous summers. He continues to test and keep track of the
67 levels. He is using a little less water on the parks this year than is typical.
68 • The company maintaining the city's roads will be here to start the HA5 on Sunday. They will start
69 with crack seal and do some of 700 South on Sunday. They will do other areas Monday and
70 Tuesday. They will get notices out to residents before the work starts.
71 • He informed that a homeowner along 600 South planted trees in the park strip a couple years ago
72 which are now fully blocking the school flashers. He recommended the city buy a new solar
73 powered one and locate it near the retention pond where it will be more visible. Both school
74 flashers have been having some issues and need to be replaced. To replace both would cost
75 $5,780. The city either needs to replace the flasher or have the property owner remove their
76 trees. The question was raised on how reliable the solar powered lights are. Mr. Nelson pointed
77 out that the one on 1000 East had been there for several years. There is $3,000 in the signs
78 budget this year. The Council suggested checking with Logan City to see how they like their solar
79 powered lights and then get one ordered to replace the east side for now.
80 FD Grover
81 • He discussed the Capital Projects list. An adjustment was made for the Stewart Hill Park.
82 • He explained and discussed the Financial Summary. Budgets are tracking fairly close.
83 Councilmember Huntly
84 • She wili report at the next meeting about her upcoming meeting with the city engineer.
85 Councilmember Milbank
86 • He and Councilmember Wright met with BioWest and the city engineer to discuss the concept
87 plan for Stewart Hill Park. BioWest presented plans. The city's input included less natural
88 landscaping. Mr. Milbank presented and discussed the plans, after adjustments were made. They
89 are hoping to get utilities installed with a restroom stub and the pathways installed this year. He
90 discussed the plan with the Providence Cemetery sexton Ryan Snow, who thought there would
River Heights City Council Meeting,7/21/21
91 not be a problem with connecting pathways to the cemetery but would have to get official
92 approval from Providence's council and mayor. They discussed placing a bollard, so cars do not
93 try to drive through. Ryan was fine with this idea. The water lines would be connected from east
94 to west later when there is more money in the budget. Engineer Rasmussen convinced him that
95 the cost for water lines should be shared between the water and parks budgets. Councilmember
96 Huntly reminded that ARPA funds are available for water. Councilmember Clausen asked if the
97 requests have been turned in since the deadline is coming up. FD Grover said he is working on the
98 applications. Mayor Rasmussen asked why the plan was changed from more natural environment
99 to more grass which uses more water. Mr. Miibank replied that the natural landscaping would
100 require more maintenance and they felt the community would enjoy more of the green grass look
101 and feel. Ms. Huntly suggested there are other types of grass that don't require as much water.
102 Mr. Miibank showed and discussed examples of restrooms and pavilions. Mayor
103 Rasmussen voted for the shed roofs. Depending on how they were facing, they could be usable
104 longer in the season and the sun could heat the bathrooms. They also discussed the play area
105 equipment, which would be made from tree trunks and logs.
106 • Councilmember Clausen asked if the city received the RAPZ grant they applied for. Mr. Miibank
107 affirmed it had been awarded. The city has 2-3 years to spend the money.
108 Treasurer Wllker
109 • She presented and answered questions regarding the list of bills to be paid.
110 Councilmember Clausen moved to "pay the bills as listed." Councilmember Miibank
111 seconded the motion, which passed with Clausen, Gallup, Huntly, Miibank,and Wright in favor. No
112 one opposed.
113 Councilmember Gallup
114 • She received information from FEMA regarding the flood insurance study of Cache County. She
115 checked with Engineer Rasmussen to see if the bridge installation in Providence would affect River
116 Heights at all. The engineers replied that until the bridge is installed or there is a plan to review,
117 River Heights cannot propose any changes to the flood plan. Once Impacts become apparent, we
118 can send revisions to the state, but as of now there are none.
119 Councilmember Wright
120 • He thanked Councilmember Clausen and Gallup forthe BBOthey organized and prepared last
121 week.
122 Recorder LInd
123 • She asked for a council volunteer to set up the council water booth at Apple Days.
124 Councilmember Gallup agreed to take care of it. Mayor Rasmussen suggested asking Culligan If
125 they would donate a watering station for the event.
126 Public Comment: There was none.
127 Public Hearing to Adopt an Ordinance Providing for the Compensation of Elected and Statutorv
128 Officers of River Heights Citv: Mayor Rasmussen opened the public hearing. Mike Jablonski had reviewed
129 the salaries and felt they were fine If anything they were too low. He hoped full-time employees received
130 benefits, such as retirement, and paid vacation.
131 Councilmember Clausen moved to "adopt Ordinance 5-2021, An Ordinance Providing for the
132 Compensation of Elected and Statutory Officers of River Heights City." Councilmember Miibank
133 seconded the motion, which passed with Clausen, Gallup, Huntly, Miibank,and Wright in favor. No one
134 opposed.
River Heights City Council Meeting,7/21/21
135 Approve an Ordinance to Adopt Changes to the City Code of River Heights. Utah (Regarding the
136 Repeal of the Mixed-Use Zone): Mayor Rasmussen said at the last meeting this was done informally. At
137 this meeting they had an official ordinance in front of them.
138 Councilmember Wright moved to "adopt Ordinance 4-2021, An Ordinance to Adopt Changes to
139 the City Code of River Heights, Utah." Councilmember Clausen seconded the motion, which passed
140 with Clausen, Gallup, Huntly, Milbank, and Wright in favor. No one opposed.
141 Discuss Changes to the PUD Ordinance: Mayor Rasmussen introduced Attorney Jenkins, in
142 attendance to answer questions and explain any ramifications regarding their decisions on the PUD
143 ordinance.
144 Mayor Rasmussen asked, if the city decided to leave the Riverdale zoning as R-1-12 and the
145 developer did not like It, what are the chances they could disconnect? Attorney Jenkins explained they
146 would need to have 50% of the property owners affected request a disconnection from the city. If they
147 have 50% then the request could come before the council for a decision. If they exhaust all their avenues
148 with the city, then they can take their request to the district court. The district would address a number
149 of questions and then make a ruling. It is premature to know how a judge would rule.
150 Councilmember Clausen asked if there was not 50% of property owners requesting to disconnect,
151 could they petition the other city and go to court? Attorney Jenkins said this would not put them in a
152 position to start the process.
153 Mayor Rasmussen asked how boundary line adjustments compare to disconnections. Attorney
154 Jenkins said boundary adjustments require both cities to come to an agreement. Councilmember Clausen
155 asked if boundary adjustments would involve only the residents in Riverdale or would it also involve
156 residents in Logan. Attorney Jenkins answered, only those in River Heights that would be affected.
157 Mayor Rasmussen felt there were two parts to this discussion: Is the PUD ordinance good and
158 where will the zone be applied.
159 Attorney Jenkins clarified that a petition for disconnection needs to include the names, addresses
160 and signatures of owners of more than 50% of private real property in the area proposed for
161 disconnection.
162 Mike Jablonski asked how property owner's rights would be protected in a boundary adjustment.
163 Attorney Jenkins said he would need to check the law closer. Mr. Jablonski understood that disconnected
164 property would need to go into Cache County, but it would create an island and the county does not allow
165 islands. Attorney Jenkins said this gets impractical and would probably not be approved.
166 Commissioner Cooley pointed out that there are two landowners adjacent to Logan City and if
167 they wanted to disconnect, they would have 100% of their property owners making the request. Attorney
168 Jenkins affirmed this would be possible.
169 Mary Barrus informed that the Lundahl/Davis disconnection created an island, and the judge on
170 the bench did not care. She felt there is never anything cut and dried. Attorney Jenkins agreed, but if it
171 comes to that, he will represent the city.
172 Councilmember Wright led a discussion reviewing the ordinance draft. He and Commissioner
173 Cooley worked together for hours and did a lot of research to pull it together. They learned a lot about
174 how it would come together and how it would be administered. At certain points in the document, they
175 refer to the subdivision ordinance for how a PUD would be approved.
176 The question was raised, how many units would the ordinance allow in the Riverdale area. Based
177 on roughly 10 acres of a PUD equaling 5.5 units/acre, gross, and there being 7 acres in Riverdale, there
178 could be 50-55 units.
179 Councilmember Wright explained the setbacks and lot widths.
River Heights City Council Meeting,7/21/21
180 Mr. Wright asked the opinion of the council concerning the design standards for single-family
181 detached versus the rest of the development. He prefers differences In design rather than all the
182 buildings looking the same. Councilmember Gallup agreed with style diversity in the single-family
183 buildings within the PUD. The rest of the council agreed.
184 Councilmember Wright said the city attorney, engineer and public works director have not given
185 their input yet. They will probably need a couple weeks. If their changes are substantial another public
186 hearing may be needed.
187 Discussion was held on a homeowner's association (HOA)ownership versus city. Councilmember
188 Gallup remembered they were desirous to have open space in the Riverdale area for the use of all
189 residents of River Heights. Attorney Jenkins said there may be a problem allowing all residents to use
190 private property owned by an HOA. Ms. Gallup reminded that the Planning Commission wanted to
191 preserve the riverbank area and have walking trails for all. Mayor Rasmussen said that designation will be
192 addressed in the general plan. Mr. Wright said he will work through this with the attorney during his
193 review.
194 Councilmember Wright asked if the council wanted to pursue a conservation easement option.
195 Mike Jabionski informed, to be approved for a conservation easement, the property needs to have a
196 natural feature and a minimum amount of property. It was agreed to remove the section from the
197 ordinance because, while It might work in the Riverdale area, it wouldn't in other areas of the city.
198 Discussion was held on in-lleu substitutions for open space. The question was raised if this section
199 should stay in or be removed. Djscussion led to it being useful in certain unforeseen cases.
200 Councilmember Clausen asked for clarification on individual water meters or one to the whole
201 development. Attorney Jenkins said it would be up to the city. Commissioner Cooley said there is usually
202 one. The HOA would set a base rate for each unit and if there were overages,they would raise the
203 resident's rates. Mr. Clausen was concerned by the HOA being responsible for all the utilities and the
204 maintenance. Attorney Jenkins suggested looking at a handful of developments to find out how they do it
205 so River Heights doesn't have to reinvent it. PWD Nelson explained how the connections works in a PUD.
206 The main lines are all located outside of the PUD, which the city would be responsible for. At the
207 entrance of the PUD a meter would be placed, and smaller lines would feed Into the development and
208 then to the units. He recommended they have one meter for all the units and separate one for the
209 common areas. Discussion was held on how utilities are generally billed to an HOA. River Heights can
210 decide to bill each individual dwelling,just one bill to the HOA or somewhere in between. Mr. Clausen
211 was concerned about the possible failure of the HOA,and the city needing to take over the maintenance
212 of the infrastructure. Mayor Rasmussen suggested they take time to think about it. Mr. Clausen will do
213 some research with other cities and report back at the next meeting.
214 Councilmember Clausen asked for stronger language on what will happen if the HOA fails, and the
215 city has to take over maintenance. Attorney Jenkins was confident they could come up with language
216 that will work, along with the current ordinances the city has.
217 Councilmember Clausen asked how property taxes were charged in a PUD. Attorney Jenkins will
218 check with the county on how this is done.
219 Attorney Jenkins agreed to investigate the state code regarding boundary adjustment protest
220 rights, as well as disconnections creating peninsulas.
221 Councilmember Wright suggested looking at the adoption of a moratorium at the next meeting.
222 The council needs a few meetings for continued discussion. He didn't foresee them needing to take 6
223 months to wrap things up.
River Heights City Council Meeting, 7/21/21
224 Mayor Rasmussen said the bulk of the next discussion will be whether to allow HOAs or have city
225 owned utilities, roads, and parks. Attorney Jenkins will explain protest rights and have suggestions
226 regarding maintenance standards.
227 Discuss a $2 Reduction in Sewer Rates: Counciimember Clausen reminded that the city's sewer
228 output to Logan has gone down substantially, which has decreased the bill. A couple of years ago he
229 asked for a $2 rate increase to cover the large bills at that time. Now that River Heights has fixed some of
230 the infiltration Issues the bill has gone down, and Logan City is not going to raise the sewer rates this year.
231 Because of these two things he would like to lower resident's bills. FD Grover agreed that sewer expenses
232 have gone down. Mayor Rasmussen said the sewer rate setting committee has mentioned they don't
233 plan on raising rates, but they don't know for sure until a vote is taken at their next meeting in January.
234 PWD Nelson reminded it Is a very dry year right now and if they go to a really wet year, the infiltration w|ii
235 go up. Mayor Rasmussen suggested a $1 decrease. FD Grover suggested waiting until January to see if
236 there was going to be an increase from the rate setting committee. Commissioner Milbank asked if the
237 variables in rates from the past could happen again. PWD Nelson said, yes, if it was a wet year. Mayor
238 Rasmussen will find out if a rate increase is going to be presented in January. PWD Nelson said they
239 repaired a lot of infiltration in the manholes and will continue to do so when they see problems.
240 At the next meeting they will discuss sewer rates again, hold a public hearing for a moratorium
241 and discuss the PUD draft.
242 The meeting adjourned at 9:45 p.m.
