60 Reports and Approval of Pavments(Mavor. Council. Staff):
61 Mayor Thompson
62 • He planned to discuss Rod Rounds water connection request at the next meeting. He had talked
63 to Engineer Rasmussen and Attorney Jenkins about Rod Rounds request to connect his property in
64 the county to River Heights water and read from their opinions. In general. Engineer Rasmussen
65 replied that providing services outside of the city can become problematic and cause additional
66 burden on the city. He suggested encouraging Mr. Rounds to annex to River Heights. The County
67 has said they are ok with an island. However,the state code is clear that islands shouldn't be
68 created with annexations. Once Mr. Rounds gets water from the city, there would be no incentive
69 for him to ever annex. The mayor read from the Attorney Jenkins comments, who also was not in
70 favor of providing water services outside of the city and recommended against the action.
71 • He reported it was likely his long-term idea for the Old School wouldn't happen until at least a
72 year. His biggest desire for the building is to offer something that River Heights residents would
73 benefit from.
74 Councilmember Wright didn't have anything to report.
75 Councilmember Gallup
76 • The Easter Egg hunt was a success and the community enjoyed it.
77 Councilmember Glover
78 • He hoped to discuss 400 South sidewalk options at the next meeting.
79 • He has been working with PWD Nelson on sidewalk repair decisions.
80 Councilmember Mathews
81 • She had met with PWD Nelson and Engineer Rasmussen about capital projects for 2023. The
82 lower well improvements estimate has gone up significantly, from $200,000 to $400,000. She
83 noted the importance of getting it done as soon as possible so the city will have a water source
84 back-up in place.
85 Councilmember Milbank
86 • The irrigation water is running.
87 FD Grover
88 • He discussed the financial summary. Cash has increased and everything is tracking on the
89 budgets. Capital Projects are behind in expenditures by about $348,000. Water and sewer are
90 ahead substantially.
River Heights City Council Meeting,4/19/22
• He asked council members to schedule time to meet with Treasurer Wilker about their budgets
92 since he has had some things come up.
93 Pubiic Works Director Nelson
94 • He discussed sidewalk repairs. The capital projects budget had $50,000 for sidewalk replacement
95 this year. However, concrete is currently very expensive. They decided to use the money for
96 cutting repairs, which they had bid at $29,000. The cutting company bid what they felt they could
97 accomplish by the end of the fiscal year, which would include most of the city (except for Stewart
98 Hill and Saddlerock).
99 Mayor Thompson
100 • He met with Engineer Rasmussen and PWD Nelson last week and has asked Mr. Rasmussen to
101 create an eight-year infrastructure plan, which will help them with budget preparation.
102 Treasurer Wiiker
103 • She presented and answered questions regarding the list of bills to be paid."
104 • She gave her cell number for the council members to schedule appointments with her to discuss
105 their budgets.
106 Councilmember Mllbank moved to "pay the bills as listed." Councllmember Gallup
107 seconded the motion, which passed with Gallup, Glover, Mathews, Mllbank,and Wright In
108 favor. No one opposed.
109 Public Comment; Cindy Schaub was grateful the podium had been moved so she could see the
110 speaker from Zoom. She went on record as stating she does not care for Ranked Choice Voting. She felt it
111 was confusing and had heard the same opinion from others.
Discuss Old School Use: Mayor Thompson said there had been several groups interested in using
iij thebuilding. The Boys and Girls Club had reached out and requested use of the full building. Theyhad
114 done a walk-through prior to the meeting. He invited them to come and present their desired use of the
115 building.
116 Jenny Schultz of the Boys and Girls Club explained their program and said they were looking for a
117 larger place to house more families. They saw a lot of possibilities for the building. They provide out of
118 school care to school age kids. She discussed a survey they had done with families in the valley which
119 showed there is a great need. Currently there are many families from Cache Valley who take their
120 children to the Club's location in Tremonton. She handed out information about their program.
121 Councilmember Gallup asked what their typical week looked like in the summer. Ms. Schuiz said
122 they run from 7:45am-6:00pm. They would start with K-5*^ grade ages and might move into teen
123 programs later. They have about 97 different activities for the kids in the summer. Their staff is 1/15 or
124 1/20. They plan on about 120 kids. They might limit the amount as they are getting started. This would
125 be their only location right now.
126 Councilmember Mllbank asked if the kids were bussed. Ms.Schuiz said they have vans that
127 transport from school to their facility. They like to get the kids outside when the weather permits. The
128 teachers are trained staff and occasionally parents. It's a national program of which they are a franchise.
129 They get state and federal money and seek grants.
130 Councilmember Gallup asked about possible damage to the building. Ms. Schuiz said there could
131 be occasions when minor things happen, which is in their budget. They were interested In a one-year
132 contract to see how it goes. They want to show the community the need for what they offer.
133 Councilmember Wright asked if there are other tenants currently using the building. Mayor
Thompson said there is a church group who uses it on Sundays and is contracted until May 1. The
audiologlst had a couple years left on his contract.
River Heights City Council Meeting,4/19/22
136 Ms. Schulz explained they also run their program after school until 6:30pm. They are working with
137 the school district and transit district on transportation.
138 Mayor Thompson explained the city has a few rooms in the building which they have claimed. Ms.
139 Schulz said they have shared buildings in the past and have been able to make it work. She felt the
140 classrooms would work well for what they need. They currently use an old seminary building in
141 Tremonton which the council was welcome to visit. They would like a place in the building to be able to
142 prepare healthy snacks for the kids.
143 Mayor Thompson informed that the building requires the cost of utilities and maintenance. The
144 rent they were offering would be helpful. A partnership could benefit both groups. He said he benefited,
145 from the Boys and Girls Club growing up and was supportive. He suggested looking at a one-year contract
146 and then see if they wanted to address long term.
147 Councilmember Gallup asked if their survey Included other cities besides Logan. Ms. Schuiz felt it
148 included a good mix of cities around the valley. Ms. Gallup asked if all 120 kids would be running to the
149 park all at one time. Ms.Schulz confirmed they send them out by age group. They also transport the kids
150 to other parks,so they don't bombard one area.
151 Mayor Thompson said the city may require a copy of their schedule to prevent conflicts with the
152 city ambassador activities. Councilmember Gallup also wanted the gym to be available for community
153 events and citizens who may want to rent it. Ms.Schulz said they would be willing to work with that.
154 Review of Ranked Choice Voting f RCVl - County Clerk Jess Bradfield and Kelleen Potter: Kelleen
155 Potter presented data from a survey taken before the election results were released. She discussed the
156 accuracy and results of the survey. There were many positive reviews of RCV.
157 Mayor Thompson asked for explanation on how audits work on a RCV election. Ms. Potter said
158 there is a higher-level person who could come to Utah to do the audit. There was also an auditor in Utah
159 County.
160 Mayor Thompson asked her to explain the biggest unforeseen challenges that happened during
161 the election that had her frustrated. Ms. Potter said, it was educating voters and candidates on how RCV
162 worked. Each city had different amounts of funding to spread information. She wished they could have
163 done more. There was a lot of misinformation out to the public.
164 Councilmember Milbank felt political parties would resist RCV for reasons which included not
165 having a primary. Ms. Potter said RCV can be used for a party primary. She felt RCV more fully expressed
166 the will of the voters. She also said if someone withdraws from a race, then a voter's ballot is not wasted
167 because it would allow their 2"^^ or 3^*^ choice to be counted.
168 Councilmember Gallup asked if the survey asked political party affiliation. Ms. Potter said they
169 made sure It was balanced based on the percentage of the party in the area.
170 Jess Bradfield introduced himself as the Cache County Auditor/Clerk who runs elections. He felt it
171 wasn't his place to push RCV or not. He discussed his neutral observations. Some positives for RCV were
172 cost savings and 50% plurality. He said Ms. Potter was great to work with. He didn't see any negative
173 campaigning from RCV candidates. He agreed that voter outreach was an issue. River Heights had the
174 highest number of overvotes and undervotes (as were an Issue in other places). The RCV method took
175 longer to release results. He said true audits were difficult and explained how they worked. He felt the
176 state should have auditors of their own, rather than using a third party.
177 Mayor Thompson asked Mr. Bradfield what his biggest frustration was with RCV that he had to
178 deal with. Mr. Bradfield said the election got more political; the timing wasn't great due to the political
179 climate of the country. Other than that, they could work through the issues.
180 Councilmember Gallup asked about audits and when they were performed. Mr. Bradfield said
181 audits were allowed on close vote elections.
River Heights City Council Meeting,4/19/22
Mr. Bradfield said he would email an.analysis of River Heights votes counted and disqualified to
183 Mayor Thompson, who would forward the information to the Council.
184 Mr. Bradfield said it's typical to hear more about the bad than the good. Most of the negative
185 comments came from those who were older/elderly.
186 Utah Election Integrity fUEH - Cristv Bulklev: Christy Bulkley Henshaw and Wendy Hart gave an
187 overview of what they do as part of Utah Election Integrity. They are a non-profit organization with three
188 main goals, which are to oppose HB 36, SB 54 and RCV. They are volunteers from Utah County. She
189 explained a poll they had done, which concluded that most people didn't like RCV.
190 Wendy Hart said RCV isn't fair and discussed 7 reasons why. She said it Is driven by money.
191 Councilmember Milbank asked who the power brokers were and their motivations. Ms. Hart
192 listed who they were. She didn't know their motivations for pushing for RCV and Fair Vote.
193 Councilmember Glover asked the prior councilmembers what their reasons were for supporting
194 RCV in the last election. Councilmember Milbank felt the system was more democratic, more so than the
195 two-party system. It seemed to him that it would give more people an opportunity to run and a better
196 chance at winning. Ms. Hart explained that RCV gives an Illusion that third parties have more of a chance
197 and explained how it actually works/doesn't work.
198 Councilmember Gallup voted for it because she was naive and only had a few minutes to decide.
199 She wanted to be objective and was told they used this method in.New York and Utah County with
200 positive feedback. CouncilmemberWright voted against.
201 Mayor Thompson thanked all those who presented.
202, Annual Update and New Contract for Animal Control and Law Enforcement Services-Sheriff
Jensen; Lt. Bartchi and Deputy Wallentine were In attendance in place of Sheriff Jensen. Lt. Bartchi
presented and explained the contracts. The County is building an animal control shelter that cities have
205 the option to use for impounding. He explained what they will offer and their collaboration with USU
206 veterinary training. This year they are offering a three-year contract for law enforcement (as requested
207 by other cities) and the usual one-year contract for animal control.
208 Councilmember Milbank asked where they spend their time in River Heights. Lt. Bartchi read from
209 the River Heights report, which represented a variety of calls, none too serious.
210 Mayor Thompson said River Heights has been frustrated with the lack of help on animal control in
211 the parks. He asked Recorder Lind to give her input, which she did. She mentioned that the city does not
212 see any money for citations, which means they are not being given out. The park has a big dog problem
213 which citations would help to remedy. Mr. Bartchi explained they need a signed complaint before a
214 citation can be written. His animal officers are not focused on revenue. Their main goal is behavior
215 change. He agreed they don't Issue many citations. They have two or three staffed animal control
216 officers, which cover the weekday hours. On weekends their deputies can take animal calls.
217 Councilmember Gallup asked if they could come to the park on a weekend because there are
218 more dogs in the parks during that time.
219 Mayor Thompson asked that animal control work directly with Recorder Lind about prime times to
220 catch those In the park. Ms. Lind explained she has talked to them numerous times over numerous years
221 and it doesn't happen. PWD Nelson said there are dogs in the park constantly. The mayor asked Lt.
222 Bartchi If they could work hard on this in the next month.
223 Mayor Thompson said they won't adopt the contracts tonight. He will have the attorney look at
224 them first. He thanked Deputy Wallentine for working with the city.
i Lt. Bartchi said he will do his best to get officers in the park, although they are short-staffed right
I now.
227 The Council took a short break.
River Heights City Council Meeting,4/19/22
228 Mayor Thompson discussed the reasons the city wants to enforce no dogs in the park. He wants
229 to keep holding the animal control officer's feet to the fire until the City gets what they need from them.
230 - Councilmember Gallup asked what other cities pay for animal control. Mayor Thompson will
231 check with Lt. Bartchi.
232 Discussion on Rank Choice Voting and Vote for Its Use Moving Forward: Mayor Thompson had
233 very strong opinions but asked for council opinion first. Councilmember Wright was curious why they
234 were talking about it now when there's not an election coming up. Mayor Thompson affirmed there was
235 nothing pushing it right now, but both sides of RCV wanted to present and since the election was freshly
236 over, he felt it would be a good time to discuss and vote on it. The council could also change their vote
237 before an election.
238 Councilmember Wright had found RCV to be very confusing. He went through the tabulations
239 multiple times and did homework and still didn't fully understand it. The feedback he got was that people
240 didn't like it. He realized some people were fine with it, and just didn't tell him their opinion.
241 Councilmember Gallup felt the RCV system was ambiguous and not straight forward. When voters
242 are unsure of the system their confidence goes down.
243 Councilmember Glover heard from his neighbors who said they preferred it. He noted that it
244 might be best to hear from the older population.
245 Councilmember Mathews reported that a lot of confused people talked to her about how RCV
246 works, even very intelligent people. Her feeling was they wanted to vote the old way.
247 Councilmember Mllbank was aware that change is hard and RCV seemed very confusing.
248 However, he felt it represents more of the will of the people. He felt the current political party system is
249 broken. RCV may be a more democratic approach. He said change needed to start somewhere. The
250 country is in trouble because of politics. If RCV is fairer in the end and becomes more accepted, it may be
251 a good change. The people he heard from liked RCV.
252 Councilmember Glover questioned if the majority of River Heights would favor RCV.
253 Mayor Thompson expressed strong opposition to RCV. He said no price can be placed on
254 freedom, transparency, and integrity of our actions. The principle he heard tonight was about cost
255 savings. RCV is extremely confusing, and the Integrity of the results Is being called into question. There
256 was no way to audit this system effectively. Why would they want to use a system that casts huge
257 shadows of doubt? He viewed RCV as a big issue arid they are starting with municipalities. We said they
258 need to ask the guiding principles on what they are basing their decision. He asked if there was a motion
259 to abandon RCV for now.
260 Councilmember Milbank moved to "postpone a vote on Ranked Choice Voting."
261 Councilmember Glover seconded the motion, which didn't carry. Glover and Milbank were in favor and
262 Gallup, Mathews and Wright opposed.
263 Councilmember Gallup moved to "discontinue Ranked Choice Voting until further notice or until
264 the Council decided to reconsider." Councilmember Mathews seconded the motion, which carried with
265 Gallup, Mathews,and Wright in favor. Milbank and Glover opposed.
266 Councilmember Glover asked for more notice before discussions on hot topics so they could have
267 more time to talk to their constituents. Councilmember Wright suggested they learn how RCV works so
268 they can explain It to others. Mayor Thompson felt the RCV proponents should foot the bill for public
269 education on how it works.
270 Councilmember Mathews felt people who were confused should be educated. Until that
271 happens, she'd like to continue with the old way of voting. Mayor Thompson asked if It was worth It if
272 75% of the people are for and 25% don't understand how it works. He said we are told the system has
273 integrity and Its transparent, but they can't see it, they just must trust that It is.
River Heights City Council Meeting,4/19/22 6
.y
Discuss and Accept Stewart Hill Park Bid: Councilmember Gallup remembered they were going to
"275 discuss and vote on a name for the park. Councilmember Milbank said they are currently calling It
276 Stewart Hill Park for ease. It can be given an'official name later.
277 Councilmember Milbank said he and PWD Nelson went through the two bids with Engineer
278 Rasmussen. He discussed the bid tabulation.
279 Councilmember Gallup asked where the additional decorative fence would be placed.
280 Councilmember Milbank explained It will go along the east side from the road to the cemetery. Ms.
281 - Gallup wondered If the resident might prefer a privacy fence. Mr. Milbank said he talked to her, and she
282 liked It.
283 Councilmember Milbank explained that concrete, parking lots and utilities were included in phase
284 one. He"will be meeting tomorrow with the county to discuss and answer questions on the RAPZ grant
285 application he turned In. He felt the 8" water line portion of the bill to connect the two Stewart Hill Drives
286 should be paid for by the water fund. PWD Nelson responded that this didn't come up on the water
287 priority list that was discussed earlier today with Councilmember Mathews and Engineer Rasmussen.
288 Mayor Thompson said he had tasked Engineer Rasmussen with making a list of where he thought
289 they should keep their minimums in the water and sewer funds to help them in determining their capital
290 improvement lists each budget year. He felt they had gotten off course on keeping up with a solid
291 infrastructure plan to make sure they could cover the most urgent projects. He'd like to see them follow
292 the recommendations of the city engineer, although they don't have to.
293 Councilmember Gallup asked if both parking lots would be built In this phase. If so,she preferred
294 lights also be installed. Councilmember Milbank discussed what was in the bid and said there is also a lot
of ambient light in the area.
Councilmember Glover asked If they could accept the bid upon conditions of the RAPZ award.
297 Councilmember Milbank said the bids can't be guaranteed because construction prices keep going up. He
298 didn't want the city to be left in a bind. Councilmember Wright sald^they can make the motion
299 contingent. Mr. Milbank didn't know the bid expiration date; PWD Nelson said the sooner the contractor
300 knows, the better so they can get supplies ordered for the project. Mayor Thompson felt going forward
301 with a vote of spending $400,000, without the funding might not be a good Idea.
302 Councilmember Wright ppinted out that if it didn't get funded, they would need to come back to
303 the Council anyway.
304 Councilmember Gallup asked what the award amount would need to be from RAPZ to go forward
305 on the project. Councilmember Milbank mentioned there are parts of the project they can cut if needed.
306 Councilmember Wright said if the math didn't work out, they would need to come back to the council.
307 Councilmember Glover suggested they could revise what was included with Phase 1.
308 Councilmember Wright moved to "accept Cache Valley Excavation's base bid and bid alternates
- - 309 - for a total of $405,982.50 and that the project moves forward, contingent upon RAPZ funding being
310 awarded,so with that and the amount that's been budgeted they would be able to do the project."
. 311' Councilmember Glover seconded the motion, which carried with Gallup, Glover, Mathews, Milbank,
312 and Wright in favor.
313 Discuss Old School Use: Mayor Thompson's plan was to work with Attorney Jenkins on a contract
-314 with the Boys and Girls Club and work with PWD Nelson on making sure the city keeps the space they
315 need. He asked If there were any objections on renting to them. Councilmember Gallup was interested in
^■" 316 - -how many River Heights residents would be using their service. She didn't want to be supporting a
■ program that was only for Logan residents.
River Heights City Council Meeting, 4/19/22
318 Councilmember Wright asked what the yearly operating cost were for the building. He was told
319 $24,000. The Boys and Girls Club would bring In $72,000/year. Discussion was held on who would be
320 cleaning the building and purchasing supplies. The mayor said the renters would do this.
321 Mayor Thompson said The Club would be willing to Integrate a library, which he is passionate
322 about. He Is looking at funding for building Improvements. He likes the Club's ability to get funding as
323 well.
324 Councilmember Gallup asked if their program might grow too big for River Heights. The mayor
325 asked everyone to email him their concerns so they can address them In the contract.
326 Councilmember Mllbank felt they had an obligation to take opportunities that would help offset
327 costs.
328 The mayor was Interested In a key card system for access to the building. The system would be
329 able to track who was going in and out as well as limit the hours their card would work.
330 Councilmember Gallup wondered about the noise level Inside the building. Mayor Thompson said
331 the obligation to bring in revenue Is a greater concern than to have quiet offices and storage use for the
332 city.
333 Councilmember Mathews wanted the gym to be available for residents to rent. Discussion was
334 held on parameters that can be addressed In the contract. He will bring the lease draft back to the council
335 to make sure they are okay with It.
336 Councilmember Glover asked who the other applicants were who have Inquired about the
337 building. Mayor Thompson said there were people who wanted to rent the whole building and sublease
338 It. A photographer wanted to rent one room. An artist wanted a couple rooms. There were other
339 options, but they wouldn't allow community use. Some wanted It for free. No others offered the amount
340 the Club Is willing to pay, which Is right In line with what the real estate agent suggested when he walked
341 through It.
342 The meetjj: ^ at 9:50 p.m.

Jason,
Please see the following from Utah State Code;
Index Utah Code
Title 10 Utah Municipal Code
Chapter 8 Powers and Duties of Municipalities
Parti General Powers
Water rates.
Section 22
(Effective 1/1/2021)
10-8-22. Water rates.
(7) A municipality that supplies water outside of the municipality's designated water service area shall supply the water only by contract
and shall Include in the contract the terms and conditions under which the contract can be terminated.
(8) A municipality shall:
(a) notify the director of the Division of Drinking Water of a contract the municipality enters into with a person outside of the
municipality's designated water service area,including the name and contact information of the person named in each contract;
and
(b) each year, provide any supplementing or new information regarding a contract described in Subsection .(8).(aX including whether
there is no new information to provide at that time.
' 'jnce, as I understand this provision of State Code, to provide water to an entity outside of the "Designated Service Area" you are supposed to do so by a separate
ct, and you have to provide record offriis to the State DIv. of Drinking Water. There is a way to define the Designated Service Area to include property outside of
,_ ;lunicipal boundary- to do so you have to prepare and submit a map of your service area and identify the area outside of your municipal boundary.
Maintaining a contract and records for service outside of the municipal boundary is problematic and a challenge. Years ago, Hyrum City approved a few water services in
the county outside of the city boundary. In at least two instances we are now, or have recently had a lot of problems with these customers. It simply presents a long-term
paperwork and tracking problem that the city has to maintain.
From a land use perspective -1 strongly recommend that the City tell Mr. Rounds to annex into the City and you will then allow the water connection. The property
should either be annexed to River Heights or to Providence (if Providence eventually ends up with the Chugg property). It is not good to leave an island parcel in the
county, surrounded by City.
If the city provides a water service to Mr. Rounds at this time, when he is outside the City limits, there is no incentive for this property to ever annex into River Heights
City. Yet now and in the future he is benefitting from services the City provides, such as plowing public streets through the city for him to access his property. River
Heights City is essentially providing services to the parcel, yet all the texes are going to the county. It is fair and appropriate for the property to annex into River Heights
City before water service is provided. That way the City benefits from the property tax, as well as payment for water and other City charges.
Please contact me if there are other questions about this that 1 may be able to address.
Respectfully,
Craig R.

'^ ason Thompson <iasonthomDson@riverheiahts.orQ>
Mayor: The idea of providing municipal services to homeowners outside of the city boundaries is inapposite to the primary purpose of
the city. We charge taxes and exercise jurisdiction over persons and property within city boundaries, in part, so we can provide those
services. When you start allowing others to hook on you are creating a problem because we don't have authority over those
homeowners. More importantly, the legislature has given cities a mandate to eliminate islands between the city and the county. By
allowing county residents to remain in the county and utilizing municipal services, we are thwarting those instructions from the
legislature. Moreover, when a city extends a water line outside of Its coiporate boundaries it places Itself in a position that it has
assumed the duty to supply such service to others without discrimination. It becomes a slippery slope. Once we set this precedent it
becomes difficult to say no to others and there always seems to be many others. In my experience the contractual obligations
required to allow them to hook becomes more trouble than its worth. If a party wants to receive municipal services they need to
annex in. There is no reason why that cannot be done here. I would recommend against this action. Please contact me if you have
questions.

Safe Places Are Our Foundation
Since the very first Club opened in 1860 with the purpose of giving local kids a safe
place to go, safety has been the No. 1 priority of Boys & Girls Clubs.
After all, safety is where it all begins. Our data shows that environments that are safe,
positive and inclusive are essential for young people's development. When kids feel
safe, they're empowered to learn, connect with their peers and explore their interests.
At Boys & Girls Clubs, kids and teens can rely on a safe, consistent and welcoming
environment where they can focus on what's most important- being a kid.
The landscape of youth safety has drastically changed in our 160+ year history. From
public health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic to the Internet's impact on bullying
and self-esteem, kids face new threats to their stability and well-being each day.
To meet the evolving safety needs of kids, families and communities, Boys & Girls
Clubs works continuously to enhance safety policies, practices and trainings to ensure
youth are safe and protected. Providing safe spaces for youth is our No. 1 job.
89% of Club members say they can talk to an adult at the Club if they have a
problem.
Club Programs
Club programs are designed to empower youth to excel in school, become good
citizens and lead healthy, productive lives. We offer programs for all ages 5 to 18.
Sports & Recreation programs help develop physical fitness, reduce stress and
promote a positive use of leisure time, appreciation for the environment and
interpersonal skills.
80% of Club alumni said the Club had a positive impact on their attitude toward
fitness and health.
Career 8i Education programs are designed to ensure that all Club members
graduate from high school on time, ready for a post-secondary education and a 21st-
century career.
Participants in the Project Learn program reported 87% fewer missed school days
when compared with non-Club youth.
Art programs are designed to foster creativity in young people, and give them outlets
for self-expression. From photography to dance, our arts programs have something
that will inspire everyone.
76% of low-income Club members ages 12-18 reported earning mostly As and Bs,
compared to 67% of their peers nationally.
Health & Wellness programs develop young people's capacity to engage in positive
behaviors to nurture their well-being, set personal goals and grow into self-sufficient
adults.
41% of twelfth grade Club girls participate in daily physical activity, compared with
29% of twelfth grade girls nationally.
Character & Leadership programs help youth become responsible, caring citizens
and acquire skills to participate the democratic process. Program participants also
develop leadership skills and gain opportunities for planning, decision-making,
contributing to Club and community and celebrating our national heritage.
89% of Club youth said they can stand up for what is right; 91% of Club youth
reported that as a leader, they make sure everyone feels important.
Inspiring Positive Change
Our mission centers on nurturing the enormous potential inside every young person.
Kids and teens deserve access to experiences and opportunities that change their lives
for the better - regardless of their socio-economic status, color of their skin or other
factors that contribute to inequity or prejudice in the U.S. today.
Clubs provide inclusive environments where youth of all races, abilities, gender
expressions and backgrounds are encouraged to express themselves and deepen their
understanding of and respect for others. Through community service, leadership
programs and elevating their voices on critical issues such as race equity and social
justice. Club kids and teens work together to create positive change and envision a
better tomorrow.
Boys & Girls Club is committed to furthering our national Diversity, Equity and
Inclusion.
95% of Club members say the people at their Club accept them for who they are.
Someone Who Cares
With caring trained staff, we provide caring guidance and support to kids and teens in
order to help them grow into confident, capable adults.
In a mentoring program at the local Boys & Girls Club, young people find positive
adult mentors in staff who notice their strengths, listen to their concerns and open up
doors of possibility. From connecting youth to a program that deepens their interests
to sparking their curiosity in a future career field, inspiring mentors help kids and
teens explore their full potential.
95% of Club members say the adults at their Club believe that they will be a
success.
Empowering kids with skills to manage
their emotions and build resiliency.
Supporting the mental health of kids and teens is more important than ever.
Growing up can be hard on a young person of any generation, but today's kids and
teens are facing an ever-evolving pandemic, civil unrest and racial inequality, school
shootings, social pressures online and systemic inequities that create barriers to
success.
It's no surprise that young people are feeling stressed.
Mental health and wellness are just as important as physical health and fitness and can
impact our participation in and enjoyment of life. And for kids and teens, it's critical
to nurture mental health and address any mental health concerns early- as 50% of
lifelong mental health conditions start by age 14.
Clubs equip young people with the skills they need to manage their emotions and
build resiliency so they can engage in every opportunity that comes their way.
Trained, caring staff knows that the key is to establish a trusting relationship and open
dialogue that help staff and youth recognize changes in thoughts,feelings and
behaviors, as well as know when to get help.
About 20% of young people ages 3 to 17 in the U.S. have a mental, emotional,
development or behavioral disorder.
Get Involved!
The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Utah needs you. Without our communities,
companies and partners; youth will be left on their own during critical out-of-school
time. Thanks for your interest in Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Utah. There are
many reasons to partner with our organization, and we look forward to discussing
opportunities with you in the future.

Re: River Heights City Park Project(Stewart Hill Paric—Phase 1)Bid Award Recommendation
The River Heights City Park Project bid opening was held earlier this afternoon. Two qualifying bids were
received for the project, from Raymond Construction and Cache Vall^ Excavation. Forsgren staff conducted
the bid opening and completed a tabulation of the bids with a copy attached to this memo for your use and
review. The Item Total Cost, Base Bid Total, and Alternate Total Cost as presented by the respective
contractors appears accurate with no inadi errors detected.
Total Base Bid,Bid Alternate, and Total Bid amounts are as follows:
Engineer's Estimate Raymond Construction Cache Valley Excavation
Base Bid $359,412.00 $497,636.00 $349,000.00
Bid Alternate $ 76.SQ0.Q0 $ 68.481.50 $ 56.982.50
Total Bid $435,912.00 $566,117.50 $405,982.50
The totals indicated for the Engineers Estimate are slightly modified from the 100% plan estimate due to Bid
Addendum changes that revised the Bid Schedule items to adjust the schedule based on contractor questions
and to clarify the intent ofthe bid.
It is recommended that the City review the bids and the project budget amount. Iffoimd that the budget aligns
with the low bid received, it is recommended that the City determine whether to award the Base scope of work
or the base plus one or both alternates to Cache Valley Excavation as the verified low bidder for the work.
Please contact me with questions,ifany.
