48 Reports and Approval of Pavments fMavor. Council. Staff):
49 Mayor Thompson
50 • He thought the 400 South sidewalk project was completed. However, he received a letter from
51 Engineer Rasmussen about ADA slope Issues, and suggested the city pay the contractor 50%. The
52 mayor said when the bid was received, there was a considerable amount of snow on the ground
53 which made a detailed bid difficult. He discussed the bid for sprinklers, sod removal and
54 replacement. Steve Thunell had sent a letter of concern to the mayor. The mayor assured that
55 the Issues would be worked out between public works, the engineers and the contractor.
56 • Stewart Hill Park; The bill for final payout had been received. However,there Is still the issue of
57 needing Rocky Mountain Power(RMP)to connect the lights. Once the contract Is accepted by
58 RMP and the city, the city will issue payment. The city attorney had Issues with parts of the RMP
59 contract, which will be sent back to them for their approval. Councllmember Milbank was
60 interested In what the attorney's Issues were. The mayor will let him know when he finds out.
61 • Cache County Executive David Zook Issued a proclamation declaring an emergency in Cache
62 County due to flooding. In some areas of the county there has been damage to homes and
63 properties. River Heights seems to be doing well.
64 • He discussed Dan Hogan's punch list Items on Saddlerock Subdivision. Now that winter is over, he
65 wants to make sure the Items get finished as soon as possible. He asked PWD Nelson to keep
66 track of all invoices, his time spent, and contracted out. He wanted this to be a priority. Mr.
67 Nelson said he had ordered the materials they think are needed to complete the projects. Golden
68 Spike Is set up to finish the lights.
69 Recorder LInd and Councllmember Wright didn't have anything to report.
70 Councllmember Gallup
71 • The ambassadors will be In a parade this weekend.
72 • In looking at the bills list, she said she would be glad to pay for one tree out of the Community
73 Affairs budget (the most expensive one), but not the other. Treasurer Jensen took note of it.
74 Councllmember Glover
75 • He had received a request from Kristen Scott for speed limit signs on 400 South and enforcement.
76 • He asked PWD Nelson to look at an overhanging tree on the new sidewalk at 459 E 400.
77 • He discussed the preparations for the upcoming 700 South 100 East traffic signal. Logan City has
78 been working with River Heights' attorney. The mayor was working with Dixie Wilson since their
79 property would be affected. Once she gets the go-ahead from her attorney on the contract, she
80 will let the city know.
81 " He announced he had received deployment orders and would leave in October for 10 months.
82 Councllmember Milbank
83 • South Cache Soccer was now willing to donate the soccer goals If the city would grant them some
84 assurance they would not be asked to leave unless they were abusing the fields. He asked if
85 anyone had reason to think the city might want to discontinue allowing the league use of the
86 fields. Mr. Milbank reported there was an existing interlocal agreement between River Heights
87 City and South Cache Soccer League that outlines use of the fields and commitments for each
88 party. He thought it was likely enough to assure a commitment for continued use.
89 • ProLog submitted an Invoice for partial reimbursement on the 800 South ditch clean out.
River Heights City Council Meeting, 5/16/23
• Guy Keiler asked him If he could get a key to the Old School so he could participate in countywide
checks with the ham radio, which was inside the school. Councilmember Gallup said she had
92 made this request to the mayor, who has talked to PWD Nelson. Mr. Nelson didn't feel it would
93 be a good idea since they didn't have a key that only fit the school. Mayor Thompson wants Mr.
94 Keller to have the key tomorrow. Mr. Nelson said Councilmember Gallup had the only extra key.
95 But Ms. Gallup's regular key won't unlock the school, so she uses both. They will work it out.
96 • The county awarded RiVer Heights the full amount requested in RAPZ funds of $150,000 for
97 Stewart Hill Park. The council thanked him for his efforts.
98 Public Works Director Nelson
99 • The contractor was ready to go to work on the wellhouse. They were just waiting to receive the
100 environmental report.'
101 • The recent strong wind blew over the west school flashing lights. He was hoping to install a new
102 light rather than fix the old one that broke in the wind. The council agreed.
103 Treasurer Jensen
104 • She presented and answered questions regarding the list of bills to be paid.
105 • Mayor Thompson discussed the skidsteer lease-to-own from Ellis Equipment. Rod Ellis sold the
106 company to another relative who didn't want to honor the lease. The city had never received a
107 copy of the contract when they got the skidsteer. However, a document had been found in the
108 city office which indicated the plan was to lease to own It. The mayor said Ellis Equipment had
109 now agreed to honor Rod Ellis' commitment. However,they want the remaining full payment of
110 $19,000 now, rather than yearly installments of $5,000. It will be split between the sewer and
111 water budgets. Treasurer Jensen said she will code it to come out of next year's budget since it
wasn't in this year's budget. The mayor will not release the check until he has a letter from Ellis
i ij Equipment that they will release the title. He will have the city attorney work on it.
114 • Councilmember Glover asked PWD Nelson if the sidewalk concrete cutting had been finished. Mr.
115 Nelson affirmed it had.
116 • Councilmember Wright noted on the list of bills that the check for the 400 South sidewalk project
117 should go to Forefront Construction, not Forsgren Engineers. Also, the check for the park should
118 go to Cache Valley Excavation. Forsgren submitted the invoices on behalf of the contractors.
119 • Councilmember Milbank asked how TextMyGov was doing. Discussion was held on the number of
120 citizens who signed up. Recorder Lind didn't know for sure but would look it up and get back to
121 them.
122 • Ms.Jensen reviewed the changes she will make to the list of bills: She will void the two checks to
123 Forsgren and cut a new check to Forefront in the amount of $34,476.01, and another one to
124 Cache Valley Excavation for $17,418.19. She will also move the lowest cost tree billed by
125 Zollingers,from Community Affairs to Parks.
126 Councilmember Milbank moved to "pay the bills as listed with changes discussed."
127 Councilmember Wright seconded the rriotion, which passed with Gallup, Glover, Milbank, and
128 Wright in favor. No one opposed. Mathews was absent.
129 Public Comment: Cindy Schaub thanked the council for the 400 South sidewalk. She had seen It
130 being used. She commented on the new park, the current rocks in the centers of the parking areas are
131 large and sharp. She is concerned that kids riding their bikes might fall into the rocks and get cut. She
132 suggested replacing them with,grass or riverwalk rock.
Councilmember Milbank, commenting as a citizen, thanked Councilmember Glover for getting the
$40,000 grant for the transportation plan. He urged the council to wait until the transportation study and
River Heights City Council Meeting,5/16/23
135 data were complete before updating the transportation map. He thought it would be premature to
136 change the map before the engineer's study was complete. Mr. Milbank commented it would be like
137 "ready, fire and aim." Drawing projected roads through private property has a negative impact on values.
138 DJ Jones, of Forefront Contractors, informed the council that they were the ones working on the
139 400 S sidewalk. He specified how they were going to make the fixes brought up by Engineer Rasmussen.
140 He noted how much they enjoyed working with River Heights and especially with PWD Nelson. Mayor
141 Thompson mentioned the emotions that always come up with these types of projects. He appreciated
142 the affected citizens because they all wanted something different, but they are going to make do with
143 what has been done.
144 Discuss Citv's Cooperative Agreement Between the Utah Division of Forestry. Fire, and State Lands
145 and the Citv of River Heights; Mayor Thompson said they are seeking to renew a cooperative agreement,
146 which was basically the same as the original agreerrient made is 2017. He went over the changes. The
147 cost was about $70/year. Basically, the agreement helps the city to stay uniform with the most recent
148 regulations on fire risk and agrees to be good stewards. He wanted the council to see it before he signed
149 it.
150 General Plan Review; 4. Infrastructure and Citv Utilities (Mathews): Postponed In the absence of
151 Councilmember Mathews.
152 General Plan Review: 4.4 Easements (Glover): Councilmember Glover explained a change he
153 made to the stormwater section (4.3) by altering strategy #5 and adding #6, which stated,"The
154 ordinances should be adopted or modified to promote or mandate a LID principles and green
155 infrastructure for all development and redevelopment projects within the city." He asked PWD Nelson to
156 make sure this was in line with the city's MSB permit. He discussed more of the stormwater section and
157 will also review it with Engineer Rasmussen.
158 Councilmember Glover went on to discuss 4.4 Easements. He felt most of It was good but added
159 that the city would eventually replace streetlights which don't conform to the city's outdoor lighting code.
160 He mentioned one on 1000 East and Windsor Drive that lights up a large area. PWD Nelson said once the
161 Saddlerock lights are working, the Windsor one will be removed. Councilmember Wright said he and
162 Commissioner Cooley had been trying to get someone to heip them update the outdoor lighting code.
163 Those they had asked hadn't worked out. He felt it should be done sooner than later.
164 Councilmember Glover explained that when someone in a subdivision wants to do a boundary line
165 adjustment, they should take what they've done and adjust the final subdivision plat. If a utility company
166 recognizes the final plat easements, but adjustments hadn't been made then they wouldn't know about
167 it. The city may want to have a requirement in the city code to make sure they get the final plat updated
168 to show where the new easements are.
169 Continued Discussion on Capital Proiects for FY 2024: MayorThompson discussed the tally of the
170 council's ranking. He recommended splitting the pavilion project into two separate years: demolition and
171 rebuild. They estimated a capital projects budget of $750,000. If the pavilion was removed,then all the
172 other projects could be covered. He discussed the new truck with plow and repairs, which he felt was a
173 high priority to get through the next winter. He felt projects that had been started were priority over
174 projects that hadn't been started. Discussion was held on when the pavilion would be demolished and
175 rebuilt. Some felt the fireplace could be installed after the pavilion.
176 Councilmember Milbank said Janice Skousen would like to start collecting funds for trees in
177 Stewart Hill Park. She wanted to set it up so families could purchase trees through the city. Treasurer
178 Jensen asked if they had a target amount in mind since it would help her determine how to set up the
179 account. She was informed that they had no idea at this point. Councilmember Gallup noted lots of trees
River Heights City Council Meeting, 5/16/23
icn would iook good for Tree City USA. Counciimember Wright explained the-trees would go in on Phase 3
and suggested they get started on the fundraising right away.
182 The mayor asked the council members if they had any issues with him splitting the pavilion into
183 two phases as well as the new truck and plow in one year and the truck repairs plus a new plow for the
184 old truck into two years. They agreed.
185 PWD Nelson said the school ramp would be significantly more than $12,000. The last bid he got
186 was $34,000. The difference was making it ADA compliant. The mayor bumped it up to $25,000, hoping
187 to find a bid for less.
188 Discussion was had on purchasing a 4-wheeler for pushing snow on sidewalks versus contracting
189 with someone to do the job. PWD Nelson explained that when they are pushing snow, they don't have a
190 lot of time to do sidewalks. Mayor Thompson dropped the 4-wheeler off and left the snowblower on the
191 list in hopes of finding a contractor to clear the sidewalks.
192 Counciimember Gallup didn't want to demolish the pavilion until they had a plan and funding for
193 the new one. The mayor fully supported this and would budget for design and demolition in phase one
194 and rebuild in phase 2.
195 Counciimember Milbank talked about the Old School stair repair and ramp. He wondered about
196 asking the school district to help fund It since they were housing their audioiogist in the building. Or could
197 they wait to see what the building ended up being used for? The mayor didn't want to ask the school
198 district since they gave the building as-is and said the Boys and Girls Club said the ramp was a high
199 priority. If the library ends up using it, a ramp would be needed. He felt a ramp would give the city
200 flexibility and liability coverage over the next few years in case they end up renting it out for another use.
201 He added there was a possibility that they could discuss it with the school district.
Counciimember Glover asked about the handrail on 400 East. The mayor said it's a big liability to
the city even though it's on a county road. It is a benefit for River Heights citizens. If he pushed the
204 county to fix it, they would likely want to negotiate with the city to take over the whole road, which he
205 didn't believe the city could afford. The plan was to wait until after the well project was finished to see
206 how it affected the sidewalk. Mr. Glover said the sidewalk really needed a curb and gutter. He asked if
207 they thought the sidewalk would need to be replaced in five years. If so, they may not want to spend the
208 money on a good railing. Mr. Glover also noted that the city's Class C Road funds would help offset the
209 cost of an additional road. The mayor said he would be interested in seeing how that balanced out. PWD
210 Nelson said the new handrail would be placed in a separate 1-foot concrete section on the west side of
211 the sidewalk. It would be a wrought Iron fence to match others the city had and be 4 feet tall. Discussion
212 was held on snow removal on the road. PWD Nelson said every time the county plows the road it will
213 throw onto the sidewalk. He said it would be great to have a snow removal contractor who could keep up
214 on it during a storm. He said it's always tough when there is not a planting strip, and the sidewalk is right
215 next to the road.
216 Counciimember Gallup asked when they would get a bid for razing the Old Church. The mayor
217 said he was ready to get one right away.
218 Treasurer Jensen asked them to encourage contractors to get their invoices in right away so she
219 can better tell them how the funds come out.
220 Counciimember Glover asked PWD Nelson what position the city would be in with only one plow
221 truck. Mr. Nelson said if it snows like this year, it won't be good. He explained the hardship they would
222 be in if they had a problem with the one truck and didn't have a spare. The mayor suggested they could
223 lower the thresholds of the water and sewer funds to afford another truck. He said they could also hire a
company to help when needed, even though this wouldn't be ideal.
River Heights City Council Meeting, 5/16/23
225 Councilmember Glover asked about a COG funding spot application for 600 South. The mayor said
226 he would take care of the application. They discussed the match and wondered if they should have some
227 money set aside. The mayor said he would find out the match and let the council know. Councilmember
228 Wright didn't see the 600 South Road project happening in the next year.
229 The mayor said he would work through the capital projects numbers and get an updated list sent
230 out.
231 Rank Capital Proiects: Covered in previous discussion.
232 The meeting adjourned at 8:35 p.m.

'EXTERNAL MESSAGE'
HI Marianne,
Attached you'll find the invoice for the 400 S Sidewalk project, we can take a check or if an online payment is preferred
can send a iinkover. I know we have a change order that's being worked out, but I think we'll probabiy come out to
about equal between the saw cutting and landscaping. Let me know If you have any questions about this.
We'll be on-site tomorrow to wrap up topsbll and seeding behind the sidewalk, and installing the 16 unit mailboxes.
Other than that, I think everything on our end is good to go.
We've greatly appreciated working with you and your team at Forsgren. Your communication and professionalism has
been fantastic. " ^
Best,
Sarah Jones

Subject: 400 South Sidewalk Payment
Marianne/Zach,
1 visited with DJ about the sidewalk cross slopes and the perspective I am seeing with the significant variability in the
cross slope. ADA-allows some variance at driveway access points when the sidewalk Is adjacent to a curb, but other than
at driveway access points, anything over 2% is out of compliance with ADA. I am concerned with the liability exposure to
the City.
In light of the preliminary slope measurements 1 am seeing, I recommend that the City pay up to 50% of the sidewalk
cost and not pay for ADA ramps at this pay request. Payment for as much as is reasonable is needed by Forefront to
meet their expenses, and I recognize that. However,there are concerns with respect to sidewalk slope, and we have not
received any concrete compression test results back yet (field testing indicates good Air Entrainment) still waiting for the
first break results to come back.
Bit items that I think are reasonable to approve for payment at this point are as follows:
1. Mobilization and Demobilization = 50%
2. 4" Concrete Sidewalk = 50%
3. 6" Concrete Driveway Approach = 0%
4. ADA Accessible Ramp = 33%(one ramp)
5. 16-Tenant Mailbox = 67%
6. Lock Type Retaining Wall = N/A (expected Change Order)
7. Remove Existing Asphalt = 100%
8. Not used
9. Remove Existing Tree - By Others Not Used
10. Remove Existing Mailbox = 100%
11. Relocate Existing Stop Sign = 100%
12. Landscape Repair = 0%
13. Remove Existing Berm = 100%
Marianne, will you be able to get an authorization for the above items to River Heights City for their council meeting
tonight?
Thanks,
Craig R.

' '- * , • ^ ^ '
E. Participation Commitment Calculation . ..
a. The Participation Commitment is based on two elements;a wildfire risk assessment
by acres ("l^sk Assessment")conducted by FFSL;and the historic fire cost average
("Fire Cost Average")in each Participating Entity's jurisdiction.
i. The Risk Assessment is determined by FFSL's "Utah Wildfire Risk
COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT Page 4 of9
AssessmentPortal"(UWRAP), which will be updated as data
sourc^,technology, and funding allow,
ii. The Fire Cost Average is based on historic suppression costs accrued by a
Participating Entity. Only wildland fire suppression costs accrued and paid
by the;State on behalf ofa Participating Entity are counted toward that
entity's historic fire cost average. This includes State-paid costs after a
Delegation ofFire Management Authority and Transfer of Fiscal
Responsibility has occurred.
, 1. The Fire Cost Average is calculated on a rolling ten-year
'average, dropping the highest and lowest cost years and
. adjusting for inflation (using the Consumer Price Index);
therefore, each ten-year average will have eight data points.
2. The Fire Cost Average will only include State-paid suppression
costs for areas for which the Participating Entity has fire
suppression responsibility and taxing authority.
b. FFSL will calculate the Participation Commitment for tiae Participating Entity
according to the formula found in R652-I22-300(2017), R652-122-400(2017)
and R652-122-500(2017).

the State Forester.
SECTION IV:INITIAL ATTACK,DELEGATION OF FIRE MANAGEMENT
AUTHORITY,TRANSFER OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY,
and EXTENDED ATTACK
A. Initial Attack
a. The Participating Entity agrees to primary responsibility for Initial Attack(*TA").lA
is defined as actions taken by the fet resources to arrive at any wildland fire
incident. Initial actions may be size-up, patrolling, monitoring, holding action, or
aggressive suppression action. All wildland fires that are controlled by suppression
forces undergo initial attack. The kind and number ofresources responding to initial
attack varies depending on fire danger,fuel type, values to be protected and other
factors. Generally, initial attack involves a small number ofresources and the incident
size is small. Reg^dless offire type, location, or property/resources being threatened,
firefighter and public safety is always the highest priority(NWCG Wildland Fire
Incident Management Field Guide, 2013).
b. Effective wildland fire lA will be determined by FFSL based on the definition above
and pursuant to Utah Code § 65A-8-202 (2017), defmed as what is reasonable for
the entity.
c. The Participating Entity agrees to financial responsibility for all lA costs
except aviation assets, which are the responsibility ofthe State.
d. TFSL agrees to financial responsibility for all costs of aviation assets, including
both lA and extended incidents.
COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT Page 5 of9
i. Aviation assets on initial hiri cards as established by the State will not:
1. be counted towards a Participating Entity's historic fire cost
average for purposes of annually calculating the Participating
Entity's Participation Commitment; and,
2. cause the Delegation ofFire Management Authority or
'Transfer of Fiscal Responsibility.'
B. Delegation ofFire Management Authority and Transfer ofFiscal Responsibility
a. Delegation ofFire Management Authority and Transfer ofFiscal Responsibility
("Delegation"),occur simultaneously with one ofthe following events:
i. State or federally owned lands are involved in the incident; or,
ii. firefighting resources are ordered throughdn Interagency Fire Center
(beyond ■'pre-planried dispatch"); or,
iii. at the request of the Participating Entity having jurisdiction by the local fire
official oh scene; or,
iv. by decision of the State Forester after consultation with local authorities.
b. Delegation to FFSL means FFSL or its de'signee becomes the primary incident
commander, in a unified command environment with the agency having jurisdiction.
C. Extended Attack ^
a. Upon Delegation a timestamp will be recorded via radio with the Interagency
Fire Center servicing the incident.
b. Delegation documentation will be signed by all parties on the incident organizer
and resource needs will be reevaluated in the transition from initial to extended
attack,
c. This timestamp will also be reflected on the Crew Time Reports (CTR)/Shift Ticket
of all resources that are not covered by a no-cost local agreement, such as an
automatic aid system or other inter-local agreement.
d. At the time of the Delegation, a new CTR/Shift Ticket will be started for all resources
to be used in the extended attack effort.
e. FFSL agrees to be financially responsible for the wildland fire suppression
coste beyond lA if a Delegation occurs and the Psulicipating Entity meets the
terms of Code, Rule, and this Agreement.
SECTION V: WILDLAND FIRE RESPONSE TRAINING^
CERTIFICATION AND EQUIPMENT STANDARDS
A, Wildland Fire Response Training and Certification
a. FFSL prefers certification by the Utah Fire Certification Council as r'
Wildland Firefighter I, as certified by the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy.

FFSL also recommends S215 Wildland Urban Interface Firefighting Operations.
i. This includes firefighters who are directly involved in the suppression ofa
wildland fire; firefighters on scene who have supervisory responsibility or
decisionTmaking authority over those involved in the suppression ofa
wildland fire; or individuals who have.fire suppression responsibilities
within close proximity ofthe fire perimeter. ^
ii. This does not include a person used as a courier, driver ofa vehicle not
. used.for fire suppression, or a person used in a non-tactical support or
other peripheral function not in close proximity to a wildland fire.
iii. Upon the Delegation of Fire Management Authority, Firefighters not
certified by the Utah Fire Certification Council as Wildland Firefighter I
will be released from Initial Attack or reassigned to other firefighting
duties. ., .
iv. FFSL reserves the right to reevaluate these requirements.
c. The Participating Entity will ensure that firefighters providing Initial Attack to
wildland fire within the Participating Entity's jxirisdiction will complete RT130
Annual Fireline"Safety Re&esher Training prior to each statutory "closed fire
season" as found in Ut^ Code § 65A-8-211(2017).
d. In order to be eligible for state reimbursement for wildland fire suppression response
outside ofits jurisdiction,

4.3 STORM WATER
Pursuant to existing subdivision regulations, developers are required to provide uniform and
adequate facilities and improvements within developing subdivisions for storm water drainage.
While this subdivision requirement provides for the collection of storm water within the
subdivision, the uniform disposal of storm water is an issue that requires a city-wide plan.
The
Currently, subdividers and developers are required to receive approval from the appropriate
ditch or canal company before any storm water is channeled through a ditch, canal, or waterway
under the jurisdiction of the company. While the current storm water disposal method works
under the existing network of ditches and waterways, in-fill residential development may
eliminate agricultural areas and the need for ditches, etc. The city's liability exposure will
require the closing or covering of those canals and waterways thus restricting the capacity of a
storm drain system based only upon irrigation ditches and canals.
Future development should minimize the dependency of storm water systems on canal
company ditches and watenvays. Use of such systems should be limited, where possible, to
piped systems with controlled inflow to the system.
Additionally, with potontiol rosidcntiol dovolopmont of the area south of 700 0outh from 100 Boot
to 1000 Eoot, 0 city wido or rogional otorm drain oollootion and dispoool oyotom could bo
inoromontQily inotollod to minimize cooto and uoo tho gradient of the Spring Crook droinago. The
city should pursue a citywide or regional storm water plan which could provide direction
regarding the scope, the advisability and general design parameters of a proposed storm water
handling facility and the area which said facility would serve to use the gradient of the Spring
Creek drainage.
4.3.1 Storm Water RecommGndotions
A oity wido or opocific oroo storm wotor plan should bo mointoinod and provide tho following:
1. Master Storm Water Management Plan;
2. Review standardo and apooifications for drQinage facilities and improvomonta, etc. to
vorify conformance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDE6)
roquiromonta for the Gooho County urbanized oroo;
3. Provioiono outlining tho diotinotiono botwoon oollootion and diopoool oyotomo ond
policioo outlining tho funding roquiromonto for tho dovolopor and tho City:
4. Review and implement opproprioto rocommondQtiono from tho CQcho County Urbanized
Area Storm Water Analysis completed in 2003 including maintenance, notification, and beat
management practice(BMP) procedurea; and

appropriations, Community Development Block Cront Funds, etc.
Strategies:
1. Maintain a storm water system utility that is efficient and compliant with the local, state,
and federal reouirements. Review, update and maintain a storm water plan as needed.
2. Coordinate and work with the Cache County Storm Water Coalition to meet the
requirements of the current NPDES and MS4 Permits.
3. Educate public for maintenance of private storm water facilities.
4. Evaluate current user fees to ensure monies for maintenance, reoair and replacement of
current storm water facilities, and the construction of future storm water facilities.
5. Prioritize leeorporato Low Impact Development(LID^ storm water infrastructure in
accordance with the Utah LID Guide published bv the Utah Department of Enviornmental
Quality.
6. Ordinances should be adopted or modified that promote or mandate LID principles and
oreen infrastructure for all development and redevelopment projects within the citv.
4.4 ELECTRIC UTILITIES
(Content moved to the Easements section - paragraphs 2-4)
4.54 EASEMENTS
Utility easements are and should consistently be required on all subdivision plats and made part
of the official record. During the construction process and thereafter, the easements should be
consistently protected by the city's best enforcement method. Whenever possible, city
representatives should inform property owners regarding the existence of easements and
protect said easements from encroachments. Officials considering building permits, fence
permits and requests for variances, etc., should consider utility easements on every application.
Rocky Mountain Power(RMP) provides electric utility service to River Heights under a franchise
agreement. The City and Rocky Mountain Power have had, and continue to have, a good
working relationship. In the future, deregulation of electric utilities should pose few, if any,
serious problems, or issues for River Heights. Other future issues on the horizon might include
direct line reading of olectricol meters ond the possibility of the city's direct line reading of
olectronio water meters. The benefit cost onolysis of such o system requiring a new or retrofitted
oloctronic water moter will obviouoly havo to bo oorcfully ovaluotod. RMP has instituted direct
line reading of electrical meters.
Opposition to unsightly overhead electrical wires has become a political issue in most Utah
communities. State statutes allow electric utilities to install overhead wires as the standard,
if tho community prefers buried lines, then the community must beor the cost difference. Some
designated locationa within River Heightc may warrant underground lines. City officials ohould
conoidor tho policy now visually survey the community ond dotermino if sueh public policy and
accompanying oxponso is
19
The franchise agreement additionally provides for underground services in developing
subdivisions and overhead service in existing neighborhoods. Developers and city officials are
encouraged to designate streetlight locations early in the subdivision review process so costs of
streetlight installation by RMP can be economically included when underground residential
services are installed. The citv new-requires that in all new subdivisions electrical lines be buried
at the expense of the developer. The City and Rf\.1P should agree to a consistent lighting fixture
and pole type based on street, intersection standards, and conforming to the River Heights City
Lighting Ordinance. Street lighting in developing subdivisions will be served by underground
wiring.
4.5.1 Location of Service Lines
Cable and telephone service lines in developing subdivisions should be installed underground to
enhance the value, appreciation, opportunities of land and buildings, reduce visual proliferation
of poles, wires, and equipment, and reduce maintenance costs. Respective city officials should
make valiant attempts to reduce the visual proliferation of overhead lines, poles and equipment
in existing neighborhoods, especially along major transportation corridors and within prime and
identified vistas/view sheds.
4.5.2—Electric, Cable, and Telephone Utility Recommendations
Strategies:
1. The city should continue to require underground services in developing subdivisions.
2. The city should review locations for streetlights in developing subdivisions early in the
process so RMP can economically install streetlights while residential underground work is
commencing.
3. The city should determine if certain designated areas warrant the expense of burying
overhead lines. Special attention should be given to major transportation corridors and areas
with significant vistas. The goal is to reduce the proliferation of overhead lines, poles, and
equipment.
4. The city should continue to require utility easements and protect them from
encroachment.
^ Promote use of LED streetlight fixtures when and wherever possible.
6. Identify and replace all streetlights that do not conform with the current outdoor lighting
ordinance.
7. As new water motore are purohoood, tho city should dotormino the feasibility of
olootronic motor rooding.
