80 • He reminded that he Is on the Cache County Boundary Commission Board. During their last
81 meeting they discussed the proposed annexation of the Chugg property into Providence. He
82 made his argument but recused himself on the vote. He felt the commission didn't do what they

River Heights City Council Meeting,5/3/22
• • There is currently a crew sanding the lifted sidewalk areas in the city.
Councilmember Milbank and FD Grover didn't have anything.
94 Public Works Director Nelson
95 • He thanked the ambassadors for their help with the playground bark.
96 • The next time the trash dumpsters are full, they will be taken away for the year. They had been
97 well used.
98 Mayor Thompson
99 • He reported on the Boys and Girls Club's desire to rent the Old School. He met with Von
100 Farnsworth and Jenny Schuiz, which went well. He shared every concern he received from the
101 council. They were very accommodating and wanted to work with the city. The next step he is
102 working on Is to have Attorney Jenkins draw up a contract (first draft). He had no intention of
103 signing it until he brought it back to the council for their approval. He hoped to have something to
104 share by the next meeting. Councilmember Milbank asked if a Conditional Use Permit would need
105 to happen first. Mayor Thompson said the city will need to make a code change first, and a
106 Conditional Use Permit would need to be filed. Councilmember Milbank brought up the potential
107 impact to the neighborhood. Mayor Thompson explained there are things the city can require of
108 the Boys and Girls Club to minimize impacts.
109 Public Comment: Drue Scott, of 447 E 400 S, discussed his feelings about the pending sidewalk
110 installation. His family was very unhappy to have the sidewalk removed. But now the road is finished, it
111 looks great, and the yards have been filled in. He did not agree with spending more money to undo
twant his road ripped up again.
112 what's been done. He suggested the city use the money for another road that needs it more. He didn't
Kevin McEntIre lives at the west end of 400 South and prefers the sidewalk to come back. He has
small children and has a close call with them trying to get across the road on their blind intersection.
116 Steve Thunell was still in favor of the sidewalk. They have lived with the new road and no
117 sidewalk for two summers. The pedestrians have been forced to walk out in the road. People don't cross
118 the street to use the sidewalk on the other side. He said the installation of a sidewalk will not be near the
119 mess it was when the road was redone. Hefully supported the sidewalk against the curb. He has talked
120 to all the residents and nearly all of them want the sidewalk back.
121 David Thunell would love to see the sidewalk come back. He was concerned about safety. If 400
122 South Is eventually going to go through to 1000 East, there would be more of a problem.
123 Cindy Schaub, of the Planning Commission, said she had an issue with the removal of the sidewalk
124 when the road project was being planned. She regretted it wasn't dealt with at that time. She felt the
125 city owed it to the residents to put it back.
126 Mayor Thompson read written comment from the following:
127 Mary Robinson was NOT in favor of the sidewalk. She didn't want to maintain it and felt it was a
128 waste of money. If it did get done,she didn't support Johnson's doing the job. She didn't want to lose
129 any of her trees and as little lawn as possible.
130 Shelley Fuhriman was supportive of a new sidewalk, but not if she had to pay since she paid for
131 the sidewalk which was removed.
132 A concerned citizen of 388 E 400 S discussed the safety issue of not having a sidewalk.
133 Kristen Scott was disappointed that River Heights spent so much money to redo the road and then
134 will spend more to install a sidewalk, after it has all been ripped up. She did not support another
sidewalk. She mentioned other main roads that only have one sidewalk.
River Heights City Council Meeting, 5/3/22
136 Aspen McEntIre said the Intersection is terrifying to cross. Her family has drastically reduced going
137
138
on walks to avoid the safety issue with their two small children.
Another resident said they didn't have a sidewalk to begin with, so they don't miss it. They don't
t
139 want a park strip because it will take away too much of their yard.
140 Drue Scott was hearing concern about the speed of drivers. He asked for signs or patrol to help
141 reduce the speed.
142 Cindy Schaub asked about speed bumps.
143 Heather Lehnig informed that she lived on a corner with a sidewalk, which doesn't have a park
144 strip or curb. She really struggles in the winter because the snowplow dumps all the snow on her
145 sidewalk. She asked the residents to consider this.
146 Mayor Thompson called for a 3-minute recess.
147 Discuss and Vote on Rod Rounds Request for Connection to River Heights Water: Mayor
148 Thompson reminded of the attorney and engineers' comments(not in favor) he read at the last meeting.
149 Councilmember Milbank said Rod Rounds had applied for a permit to get his water from a well
150 and will likely be approved.
151 Councilmember Wright didn't want to vote against the city engineer and attorney's opinions.
152 Councilmember Milbank agreed. He originally felt it would work out for the city to provide water to their
153 property, but now he agreed they should go with the professional recommendations.
154 Mayor Thompson said part of their argument revolves around leaving islands of county property.
155 He said the engineer and attorney have spoken clearly. Councilmember Glover asked, if the Vineyard
156 development goes ahead, would the county force the Rounds property to annex to one city or the other.
157 Mayor Thompson said the county is okay with an island, even though it goes against state law. Mr. Glover
158
159
160
didn't agree with the city providing them water and would highly recommend they annex to River
Heights.
Kathie Rounds said she and Rod wouldn't mind annexing, but her daughters'family is against it
t
161 because they don't want to risk losing their animal rights. She and Rod didn't want to force their family to
162 annex against their will.
163 Councilmember Glover moved to "deny the request for the Rounds family to connect to River
164 Heights water." Councilmember Milbank seconded the motion, which carried with Gallup, Glover,
165 Milbank, and Wright in favor. Mathews abstained.
166 Discuss 400 South Sidewalk Options and a Plan to Move Forward: Councilmember Glover gave an
167 overview of the sidewalk options. He said he had talked with residents to get their input. He hoped, as a
168 city council, they have learned the importance of communication on these types of projects going
169 forward. The city standard on this road would be to provide a sidewalk detached from the curb and
170 gutter with a park strip to meet the city's planting strip code. This would require property acquisitions.
171 The pros to this would be that it would match the city standard, the residents would be allowed to have
172 mailboxes in their park strips, as well as trees and other landscaping. The cons would consist of most
173 residents oppose it and grading issues on the Steve and David Thunell homes. It would require removal of
174 most of Steve's driveway back to his garage and David's retaining wall. He has met with most property
175 owners, and they prefer the 4-foot sidewalk on back of curb. The post office has said they won't deliver
176 to mailboxes in this situation. However, gang boxes could be installed on each block. This option would
177 not require the city to purchase any right of ways. He recommended this option which should be able to
178 fall under the current budget. They had budgeted for right of way acquisition and improvements.
179 Discussion was held on the cost. Mayor Thompson said capital projects showed $70,000 for the
180
181
project and $65,000 for property acquisition plus and additional $45,000. He felt the numbers were a
little high since it was based off the park strip plan. He rediscussed some of the issues they were looking t
River Heights City Council Meeting,5/3/22 4
tat,including safety,speed,and cost. One ofthe driving forces for him was making the situation rightfor
residents. Some of them had paid for their sidewalk, which was removed by the city without their
184 permission. In tallying the present resident's opinions of the evening. Six were in favor and two against.
185 There are less on the west block that want the sidewalk and more on the east side in favor.
186 Councilmember Milbank asked if the installation could be done in two projects, or not do the west
187 block. Councilmember Glover suggesting doing both blocks at the same time to save on mobilization cost.
188 Councilmember Mathews asked why the sidewalk was removed. Councilmember Glover
189 explained that the road project wouldn't work with the elevation of the current sidewalk.
190 Councilmember Glover was less concerned about the removal of snow for the residents. He felt
191 neighbors would help each other out. Before the meeting, he was leaning toward only doing the east
192 block, but after hearing from Mr. McEntire he now supports doing sidewalk on both blocks.
193 Councilmember Mathews asked if residents are liable for snow removal. Councilmember Glover
194 answered that the code requires residents to take care of cleaning their sidewalks within a reasonable
195 time frame.
196 Councilmember Wright asked how they would get away with not following city standards.
197 CouncilmemberGlover said he would never go against the right of way code in new development.
198 However, this situation puts them In a position of retrofitting the current infrastructure. He thinks a
199 certain exception can be made for existing conditions based on the topography, existing trees, homes,
200 and driveways. He felt these items should have some consideration.
201 Councilmember Wright brought up going against the code again. Councilmember Glover said it
202 would be okay because the Council had the final say and the support of the city engineer. He explained
dimensions and pointed out that the Saddlerock curb and gutter went against code at the time they were
installed. Mr. Wright pointed out that just because something is done wrong doesn't mean they can keep
doing it wrong. Mr. Grover said the 400 South situation had an existing condition where they are
206 improving safety.
207 PWD Nelson informed he has been reading a book put out by the Utah League, which said cities
208 should follow their ordinances.
209 Mayor Thompson agreed they need to look at and follow the city code design standards. The city
210 engineer has expressed support for a sidewalk against curb if the council supports it.
211 Councilmember Glover said they aren't recommending changing the concrete specification,just
212 the location of the sidewalk.
213 Councilmember Wright suggested they investigate it more.
214 Cindy Schaub asked why there was no park strip on 600 East on the park block. PWD Nelson said
215 that situation was what caused the post office to say no more. He said 600 East is not a collector road and
216 the irrigation ditch made it a different situation. He informed this is a bad area when they remove snow
217 because it ends up on the sidewalk and stays there until the end of winter.
218 Mayor Thompson read from code, which said the standard is what the city engineer provides.
219 Councilmember Wright didn't agree with his interpretation. He felt it said, the written standards and
220 specifications are provided by the city engineer, not that he gets to have free reign on what they are.
221 Mayor Thompson found and read,"Sidewalks shall be provided on both sides of the street where
222 possible. Sidewalks shall be placed on one side of the street if terrain or other topographical features
223 warrant such and if approved by the city. Under all circumstances at least one sidewalk will be required
«224
Councilmember Gallup said years ago the city installed sidewalk in front of her home with a
on all public streets." He continued discussing the sidewalk dimensions in 11-6 of the code.
parking strip, which moved the sidewalk closer to her home. She supported a 4-foot sidewalk along the
curb for the 400 South residents.
River Heights City Council Meeting, 5/3/22
228 Councllmember Glover said the city standard Is the Ideal moving forward. Sometimes there are
229
230
constraints to work around, and they need to come up with the best decision for that situation. The
residents want it on back of curb. To install a park strip will cause substantial impacts and headaches. He
t
231 suggested looking at the big picture. The council has the flexibility to adjust and go forward as needed,
232 while still holding future applicants to the current standard.
233 Councllmember Wright wanted them to make sure they were on solid ground for varying from the
234 standard.
235 Mayor Thompson said they didn't need to decide tonight. He suggested they do more research in
236 the code and design standards.
237 Heather Lehnig asked if the sidewalk attached to curb would pass ADA since the angle would be
238 different. Councllmember Glover said, as a licensed engineer, that an ADA ramp can be attached at a
239 corner with a sidewalk attached to curb. The mayor said the engineer wouldn't put together a design
240 with his name on it if it didn't comply with ADA. Steve Thunell informed that the city engineer said there
241 are ADA exceptions for driveways.
242 Councllmember Milbank agreed they need to be careful not to violate the city's ordinance. He
243 supported doing more research. Otherwise, he would support the sidewalk on back of curb.
244 Mayor Thompson reminded he is going to go into negotiations on the Chugg property and will
245 fight for what is best for River Heights. But he needs to go into It with credibility. He said the city code
246 should be their guide, as well as listening to residents before making their decision.
247 Councllmember Glover will follow up with a cost estimate for the 4-foot sidewalk, attached to
248 curb on both blocks. He will put the information in the Drive. Mayor Thompson will review the city code
249 and come with a detailed report breaking down the code and standards.
250
251
252
Councllmember Milbank asked If 400 South had been designated as a collector road. He was told
the General Plan had not been adopted yet, so there was a likelihood that the designation could be
changed. They were waiting for a traffic study to help make their decision, which should be done soon.
t
253 Mayor Thompson expressed gratitude for the public coming out and giving their opinions. He said
254 he would struggle with adding a park strip and sidewalk because of how much yard it would take away
255 from current residents.
256 An Ordinance to Adopt Changes to the Citv Code of River Heights. Utah: Councllmember Wright
257 reviewed the few code changes recommended by the Planning Commission. A minor change was
258 suggested.
259 Councilmember Wright moved to "adopt Ordinance 3-2022, An Ordinance to Adopt Changes to
260 the City Code of River Heights, Utah with the deletion of'up to and' in 5-2-1 definitions."
261 Councilmember Milbank seconded the motion, which carried with Gallup, Glover, Mathews, Milbank,
262 and Wright in favor. No one opposed.
263 Mavor Presents 2022 Budget Revisions to the Council; Mayor Thompson said this item was
264 removed from the agenda.
265 Discuss Capital Proiects and Re-Rank Capital Projects for Completion in FY 2022: Mayor Thompson
266 and the council reviewed the current list of projects as adjustments were made. He said they need to
267 update their numbers because of cost hikes. The most recent numbers were $300,000-400,000 for their
268 biggest priority projects. Discussion was held on the Stewart Hill Park amount. Councilmember Milbank
269 said they could use more money for phase one of the park. He would argue that the water improvements
270 should come out of the water budget. The contractor would like to start ordering materials. They are
271 three months out after ordering water line supplies. It's likely this will move Into the next fiscal year.
272 They agreed to leave $200,000,just in case.
t
River Heights City Council Meeting,5/3/22
• Councilmember Wright suggested looking at the 400 South sidewalk,the well improvements,and
Stewart Hill Park as the three projects that will span this year and next. It was his opinion they focus on
275 those items and adjust the money where needed. Likely they will need more money than what they have
276 budgeted.
277 Mayor Thompson reminded that he will implement a rigid infrastructure plan so that every year
278 they are chipping away at projects they need to stay on top of. He will get his information from the city
279 engineer. It will be important to him that they stick to it.
280 Councilmember Gallup didn't want the Old Church demolition to get left behind.
281 Mayor Thompson jumped ahead to Discussing the Confirmation of the Bid for Phase One of
282 Stewart Hill Park: Councilmember Mathews asked if the Stewart Hill water improvements would come
283 out of the water budget or capital projects. The mayor said If there was a long-term benefit and need for
284 the water line, they should take it out of the water budget. If its installation was just for the park, then it
285 should come out of capital projects. PWD Nelson said it will certainly help the water system, but right
286 now it's not a high priority. The replacement of the 500 East water line will need to be part of the well
287 project, which will be an additional cost for 2023 in the water system. He guessed they would be looking
288 at $800,000-900,000 in projects for water next year. The mayor suggested they might split the cost
289 between water and parks. Councilmember Mathews was concerned because the lower well costs have
290 gone up and felt this was a higher priority.
291 Mayor Thompson said they are looking at about $700,000 for capital projects next year.
292 Councilmember Wright felt there would be enough for the three main projects between the two years.
293 He suggested the park water line could be its own line item on the capital projects list They all agreed to
back off adding to the projects list for next year since the well cost had gone up from $190,000 to
$700,000. Mayor Thompson guessed sales tax revenue would be higher than projected and that they
would have enough money for the capital projects. He liked the idea of having the park water line as a
297 separate line item in capital projects. He was really concerned about infrastructure projects.
298 Councilmember Milbank said they will only get about $75,000 from RAPZ. With $200,000 in
299 capital projects. It doesn't reach the $349,000 bid. He suggested they eliminate a sidewalk, powering the
300 parking lot, and the decorative fence on the east side. The cost of the water line and two connectors was
301 $83,000. If the park fund didn't need to cover this, they would have enough money in the capital projects
302 fund. He was anxious to get back to the contractor on acceptance of the bid so parts could be ordered.
303 Mayor Thompson was concerned about eliminating the lights in the parking lot. He didn't feel
304 they should skimp when it came to safety and security. He'd like them to decide where the money will
305 come from for the water line.
306 Councilmember Gallup asked for clarification on the bids and the difference they were missing.
307 Councilmember Wright pointed out they won't know for a few weeks how much they can spend
308 this year. He explained the two years capital project costs conceptually. He was trying to figure if they
309 can give an okay for the park bid so they can move forward.
310 Councilmember Glover gave an estimate of $100,000 for the 400 South sidewalk project.
311 They discussed leaving out the sidewalk on the park project. PWD Nelson agreed since they still
312 need a place for their supply piles. Councilmember Wright said the area has become a dumping ground,
313 which needs to be addressed. Mayor Thompson will have this on the next agenda.
314 Mayor Thompson felt uneasy showing the public that $83,000 will be spent for a water project,

324 Glover, Mathews, Milbank, and Wright in favor.
325 Councilmember Mathews was concerned that they would have enough money In the water fund
326 to pay for the lower well. Mayor Thompson assured that the capital projects fund would pay back the
327 water fund in the amount of $83,000 and a lot more to go towards the water project.
328 Councilmember Wright brought up a concern on the budget under 51-40-35, Capital Projects.
329 They wondered where the additional $495,000 came from. PWD Nelson suggested It might have been
330 from the ARPA funds.

Hi Sheila,
I have recorded my time delivery flyers and it takes me between 18 and 40 hours
depending on the time of year and the weather. I have considered the things 1 like and
don't like about this job.
I would like to ask for a raise to deliver flyers because I have been dependable and
because it's so difficult during fall and winter weather. 1 would like the price to deliver
flyers to increase from 130.00 to 175.00. The price to deliver extra pages could remain
the same since I prepare those extra flyers at home.
If the price to deliver flyers was increased, it would make it easier for me to do it during
the hard times of year and not get so discouraged.
Thank you for considering this increase.
Respectfully,
Spencer Rasmussen

Sharlie,
I've thought for a few years that the newsletter deliverers are not paid what they are
worth. While Todd was the mayor, he wouldn't give them a raise since they are his
kids. Now that Todd is not the mayor I think they should be strongly considered for a
raise. This is their third year doing the job and I REALLY appreciate their
dependability. It has caused me much stress in the past when I can't count on the
delivery people to do the job. I wish the Rasmussens would do it forever!
They are currently paid $130 each time and $20 more for an additional flyer.
Please see Spencer's proposal below.
Thanks!
Sheila

Sidewalks on 400 South
Shelley Fuhriman
Mon, May 2,9:34 PM
I am unable to attend the city's meeting.
I installed my sidewalk without any support from the city. It was also removed from my property
without any input from me.
I am in support of better safety for public but not if it is going to have costs to me as the home owner to
replace a bad decision made by city planners.
I believe the city should make it right.
Sincerely.

Tyson & Mayor Thompson-
Thankyou for holding a meeting about 400 south sidewalk for the citizens that actually live on this side of the street in River Heights.
We were not so lucky,when we learned our street was being torn up, and sidewalk was leaving with the last construction. I am not
able to attend this meeting, and wanted my thoughts heard.
I'm disappointed in River Heights for using the funds to make a beautiful street, and update with curb and gutter, and leave decision
making away from the citizens that It actually effects. Now here we are,funds used again to survey the street 2x, pay a company to
do measurements, to see what it will look like. Money again to tear up all the sod, and sprinkler lines, trees and vegetation that has
been planted for almost 2 years time.
Many streets in River Heights don't even have 1 sidewalk. I DONT want a sidewalk on the north side of the street. Someone must
have complained about wanting It back, but money is better spent elsewhere. Please leave the newly finished road, curb and^gutter
as is, and do nothing. The street looks nice. You can't appease everyone. The city made the decision with the construction, and need
to stand by it now, move on, and be done. ^ •
400 east on the east side doesn't have a sidewalk on both sides of the road. It's a main road. 700 south has no continuous sidewalk,
and looks horrible. It's again, a main street into River heights.
i know you are inheriting problems from the previous council, and mayor and for that I'm sorry. Thanks for taking my thoughts into
consideration.
BEST!

1 live at 388 S 400 E in an apartment and I am writing to you with concerns about the removal of our sidewalk. I have to walk In the
road to retrieve my mail which Is dangerous, I've almost been hit by a vehicle several times. The neighborhood children are at risk as
well. This was not a well thought plan when executed not to mention a costly mistake.
As I would not look forward to the inconvenience of a lengthy conversation project again 1 would endure in the name of safety.
I hope you will listen to your constituents whi actually have to live with this unsafe issue and do the right thing.
Sincerely
A concerned citizen

Hi Jason:
I definitely"do not want a sidewalk put-In front of my home at,481 E 400 S. 1 do not have the means to pay for it and as
it is the longest property on this road I do not waht the worry or cost of maintaining It In the winter, especially where I
am a senior - nor do I want to have to depend on someone else to maintain It. Also,j don't see that the city has the
means to pay for this expense. I feel that the children can easily walk across the road so that they are on a sidewalk.
One side of the road Is more than adequate for a sidewalk.
If the vote goes toward putting In a sidewalk I hope that you can keep It just east of 500 East. I especially am opposed
to Johnson's doing the work. Their equipment was not maintained and was constantly leaking grease and oil. I am very
sensitive to petroleum products so this made me very sick from the VOCs. Their "topsoll" was loaded with noxious
weeds and was a heavy clay that killed any lawn in spite of watering it heavily. The workers were friendly, but the
company was very rude and disagreeable. The person that was hired out for the cement curbing was using my
property to dispose of cement sludge, glass, and debris. They were Incredibly slow and stretched the job from spring
to fall. It was terrible. The person.that worked on my sprinklers never fixed them right, so Clayton had to come out and
fix it.
If I get voted out and a sidewalk is put In I want it next to the curb. I do not want to lose any of my trees to a sidewalk,
nor do I want to lose more of the lawn than necessary. Trees and lawns are aesthetic and beautiful, cement is not
attractive. .
Thank you,
Mary Robinson

Re: River Heights City Park Project(Stewart Hill Park—Phase 1)Bid Award Recommendation
The River Heights City Park Project bid opening was held earlier this aftemoon. Two qualifying bids were
received for the project, from Raymond Construction and Cache Valley 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 Altemate Total Cost as presented by the respective
contractors appears accurate with no math errors detected.
Total Base Bid,Bid Altemate,and Total Bid amounts are as follows:
Engineer's Estimate Raymond Constmction Cache Valley Excavation
Base Bid $359,412.00 $497,636.00 $349,000.00
Bid Altemate $.76.500.00 $ 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. Iffound that the budget aligns
with the low bid received, it is recommended fiiat the Qty 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.
