Mayor Wright said he met with Ms. Hanover and Craig Frank from the IDS Church 66 emergency committee. They already have an emergency system in place. The city planned to offer 67 assistance and support to them, rather than duplicating efforts. 68 Mayor Wright 69 • He reported that Margie Rycewicz from BRAG had been reaching out with grant opportunities. 70 Neither he nor Recorder Lind had the time to fill out the paperwork that would allow the city to be 71 eligible for upcoming grants. He asked the council members to consider working with Ms. 72 Rycewicz. Councilmember Mathews suggested Janice Skousen, but no one knew if she was around 73 to help. Mayor Wright asked them to think about it and email him. 74 Councilmember Milbank 75 • He brought up an email the mayor and council had received from a concerned citizen. One of the 76 things she mentioned was that it was improper to allow staff to make comments at council 77 meetings (referring to Treasurer Jensen at the last meeting). He asked If this really was against the 78 rules. Councilmember Hanover was confused by the comment because she was the one who 79 asked Treasurer Jensen a question at the last meeting. Councilmember Pitcher said he welcomed 80 comments from staff and felt they were knowledgeable and gave good directions. Councilmember 81 Mathews felt the citizen misunderstood what Treasurer Jensen was saying. 82 • He had started a conversation with Shane Hansen, the sexton at Providence Cemetery. He was 83 also going to meet with their City Manager Ryan Snow about the possibility of opening a walkway 84 between the cemetery and River Heights' new park. They may ask for compensation for the use of 85 their restroom. 86 Treasurer Jensen 87 • She reported success with their request to re-allocate the RAPZ funds they were granted for the 88 new park pavilion this year to pay for finish work and landscaping at the Heber Olson Park 89 Pavilion. Mr. Milbank reported that he had applied for the new park pavilion next year. River Heights City Executive Meeting, 3/18/25 2 ■ Public Comment: Brittany Cascio noticed the council was going to discuss an electronic lock for the on > basement door. She asked if other lock systems had been considered. She explained that she really liked 92 the system she used at her business, which used a number code. It came with an app for programming, 93 and it only cost them $250. She felt this would also work well for the city building basement and cost a lot 94 less money. 95 PO to Approve Electronic Lock on the City Building Basement Door: Discussion was held on a PO 96 from Beazer Lock and Key, in the amount of $2,395.47. PWD Nelson informed that it would be the same 97 system they had installed at the old school. The first lock on a building was always more expensive than 98 the additional locks. The plan was to eventually have all the city doors on the same system. 99 Councilmember Malmstrom asked for the cost of the second and subsequent doors. PWD Nelson 100 said it would depend on the specifics of each door. Councilmember Pitcher suggested tabling the decision 101 until they could find out more specifics. Mr. Nelson said every lock would need to work with one master 102 key. He didn't guess a key cylinder would work with the lock Brittany suggested. 103 Sheriffs Report from Sheriff Chad Jenson: Sheriff Jensen supported the key system. Their office 104 was very happy with how their system worked, which was installed by Beazefs. 105 He gave a report on the past year's sheriff's calls and compared the number to the current year. 106 He qoted that animal calls had gone down. They were pleased with their new animal facility and said 107 when owners pick up their impounded animal, they are charged a boarding fee before getting their 108 animal back. 109 Sheriff Jensen noted it was time to renew the three-year contract between the City and Sheriffs no Department. He proposed a one-year agreement as an addendum to the current contract. He pointed out 111 that they always gave more hours than the contracted amount and planned to continue to do so. He discussed the additional costs in their department, most of which were wage increases. Since raising wages (which were very low), they had been able to keep their turnover rate down. The city was currently 114 contracted at $52.32/hour, and the new rate would be $56/hour for 402 hours, which came to a total of 115 $22,512.00, an increase of $l,400/yr. 116 Mayor Wright asked why the one-year contract. Sheriff Jensen said he was anticipating some 117 changes in the coming year due to the new Cache County finance director and auditor. After the year was 118 up, he hoped to go back to a three-year contract. 119 Mayor Wright said it sounded fine to him, and he would sign the addendum after the city attorney 120 had reviewed it. 121 Sheriff Jensen informed that the state continued to add more unfunded mandates, however, they 122 would only charge for the patrol hours necessary for the city. They knew there would be more hours 123 donated. He also explained where all their employees were stationed: jail, schools, patrol, etc. 124 Patrol Lieutenant Tim Ramirez spoke toward overall numbers. Their big push had been towards 125 becoming more proactive. Arrests and drug related cases were up. DUI arrests, citations, and crime rates 126 had gone down. 127 Mayor Wright thanked the sheriff, lieutenant, and deputies for their support in River Heights. 128 PWD Nelson reported on his lock findings. The last three locks they had installed were $750/piece. 129 He reminded that the long-term plan when they started the key system at the old school was as locks 130 needed to be replaced, they would be updated to the system. The same master key system of locks had 131 been in use for 20 years. He knew of some keys that had been lost during that time frame. Typically, they 132 would all be replaced more often than that. Eventually, all the locks would take a card (or fob) and be 133 programmed for specific locks and times. He was weary of keypads since his experience at the baseball storage building and the city's restrooms were that they had been destroyed. River Heights City Executive Meeting, 3/18/25 3 135 Councilmember MMbank moved to "accept the PO to Beazer Lock and Key in the amount of 136 $2,395.47/' Councilmember Hanover seconded the motion, which passed with Hanover, Wlalmstrom, 137 Mathews, Milbank, and Pitcher in favor. No one opposed. 138 Consider an Ordinance to Adopt Changes to the City Code: Commissioner Malmstrom explained 139 the recommendations from the Planning Commission and answered questions. 140 Commissioner Cooley explained the change from 20 days to 40 days (11-4-1.A.5) allowed the 141 developer more time to reply to the ALUAs comments. As a benefit to the city, a change was made from 142 15 to 30 days for the Planning Commission to respond to a preliminary plat application (ll-4-2:C.). 143 Mayor Wright suggested that to be consistent with the rest of the code, numbers should be 144 written out and the numeral in parentheses. 145 Councilmember Malmstrom moved to "approve Ordinance 1-2025, An Ordinance to Adopt 146 Changes to the City Code of River Heights, Utah, with the changes to spell out the numbers, to be 147 consistent with the city code." Councilmember Hanover seconded the motion, which carried with 148 Hanover, Malmstrom, Mathews, Milbank, and Pitcher in favor. No one opposed. 149 Advice and Consent for Appointment of a Planning Commissioner: Mayor Wright asked for advice 150 and consent to replace Cindy Schaub, who had served almost 10 years as a commissioner. He had visited 151 with Susan Rasmussen, who was willing to serve starting May 1. Commissioner Schaub was willing to stay 152 until then. 153 The Council gave their advice and consent to the appointment of Susan Rasmussen to replace 154 Cindy Schaub. The mayor and Councilmembers expressed their gratitude for Ms. Schaub's diligence and 155 efforts during her time of service. 156 Consider a Resolution to Update Fees: Recorder Lind explained the changes to the fee schedule. 157 Mayor Wright asked for clarification on the storm water fees. PWD Nelson explained that those fees were 158 set by Cache County and reminded that the City had contracted with them to oversee the storm water 159 situation of new development. The yearly fees were incurred during construction only. 160 PWD Nelson and Recorder Lind gave more explanations and answered further questions regarding 161 fee changes. 162 Treasurer Jensen suggested adding an administrative fee of plus 10% on pass-through bills. The 163 mayor and council agreed to the addition. 164 Councilmember Pitcher moved to "adopt Resolution 1-2025, A Resolution to Update Fees, with 165 the addition of a 10% administrative fee on pass-through invoices." Councilmember Malmstrom 166 seconded the motion, which passed with Hanover, Malmstrom, Mathews, Milbank, and Pitcher in 167 favor. No one opposed. 168 Discuss Potentially Modifying the RPUD Ordinance to Allow 55 and Up Developments: 169 Commissioner Cooley explained that a couple commissioners reported having older citizens ask why there 170 was no 55 plus code in River Heights. He acknowledged that there was probably only one property left in 171 the city where it could work - the Weston property on 600 South. He was sent by the Commission to ask 172 the Council if they would consider that type of zone. The Planning Commission was willing to hold a public 173 information meeting to determine if there was enough public interest to make It worth addressing. The 174 Commission suggested making changes to the RPUD ordinance, which would allow smaller lots and an 175 HOA. Would it be worth their time and effort to change the code? 176 Mayor Wright agreed there were residents interested in this type of living, however, there wasn't 177 an interested developer. Councilmember Hanover asked if they needed to entertain the idea 178 preemptively. The mayor replied that changes to the code take a while, and developers may not want to 179 wait around. River Heights City Executive Meeting, 3/18/25 4 180 Commissioner Cooley felt the RPUD code could be changed easily, because the framework was 1 fii already there. Councilmember Mathews reminded of their discussion about possibly pulling the RPUD zone from 183 the General Plan. 184 Councilmember Milbank reminded that the Planning Commission took a long time to develop the 185 RPUD code. He suggested removing the Moderate-Income Housing section from the General Plan. 186 Commissioner Cooley informed that the state code required It to be included in the general plan of all 187 cities. River Heights was small enough that they weren't required to report their moderate-income 188 housing statistics. He suggested redesigning the RPUD code to allow 55 plus. 189 Councilmember Mathews felt public input would be great. Councilmember Milbank felt they 190 already knew that the citizens would support it, based on the comments they'd heard already. 191 Commissioner Cooley said the Commission could work on it as they had time. They would do a bunch of 192 research before bringing something to the Council. 193 Councilmember Mathews suggested single homes instead of duplexes. Mayor Wright said there 194 were some nice ones that shared a wall. 195 The Council agreed to have the Planning Commission investigate the idea of a 55 plus zone. 196 Councilmember Malmstrom would report as things progressed. 197 The Council took a few minutes to read through the executive minutes of March 4, 2025. 198 Councilmember Hanover moved to "approve the executive minutes of March 4, 2025. 199 Councilmember Mathevvs seconded the motion, which passed with Hanover, Malmstrom, Mathews, 200 Milbank, and Pitcher in favor. No one opposed. 201 The meeting adjourned at 8:20p.m. 202 205 Sheila Lind, Record 206 207 208 209 210 Blake Wright, Mayor River Heights City Executive Meeting, 3/18/25 5 Proposal LOCK & KEY DATE 395 North 100 West Logan, Utah 84321 2/3/2025 NAME / ADDRESS River Heights City 500 E 520 S Logan, UT 84321 ITEM DESCRIPTION QTY COST TOTAL Basement Entrance Ether...

CHAD JENSEN, SHERIFF CACHE COUNTY Doyle Peck, Lieutenant Mikelshan Bartschi, Lieutenant SHERIFF’S OFFICE Roy Hall, Lieutenant Candice Hatch, Lieutenant Timothy Ramirez, Lieutenant LMPATHY FAIR-NtSS INTLCRirr PROFESSIONALISM ILESPECT RESPONSIDILITY TRUSTWORFUINESS March 5, 2025 Dear Mayor Wright, As we approach the annual discussion regarding our patrol contracts, I want to highlight the importance of this moment. Our current three-year budget cycle expires at the end of June, and this presents an opportunity for us to make meaningful adjustments. Over the past three years, we have focused on increasing the hours provided in our contracts to better reflect the actual service delivered. This effort has successfully aligned both parties, but now I believe it^s essential we also address the hourly rate, which has unfortunately remained stagnant for several years. In the last five years, we have made significant investments in staffing to meet the growing needs of our community and stay competitive with other agencies in the state. This proactive approach has helped minimize turnover—something many agencies continue to struggle with. The next step is to adjust the hourly rate, which has not been updated in several years as we concentrated on increasing hours. Given the staff increases we've made to keep up with demands, an adjustment to our rates is essential. This change will help maintain the low turnover rate we have successfully achieved compared to other agencies. For the upcoming contract, 1 propose a one-year agreement that includes a necessary increase in the hourly rate. This will give me the necessary time to address some of the issues Cache County is facing with the new finance director and auditor. Regardless of the situation in the valley and the county, I greatly appreciate the relationships I have with all the mayors, councils, and office staff in our city and towns. I look forward to our discussions in the coming weeks at your council meetings. Please feel free to call me directly with any questions or concerns. My cell phone number is 435-757-5850.
