In order to meet changing water quality standards related to nutrients to protect and improve Utah’s limited water resources, a new process is required. NUTRIENT REMOVAL  PROCESS Courtesy: CLEARAS (https://www.clearassolutions.com/)  PROCESS Village of Roberts, WI. Courtesy: CLEARAS (https://www.clearassolutions.com/) In addition to removing nutrients from the liquid waste stream and providing a plant-based byproduct (algae) that can be sold to offset operational costs, the ultrafiltration step of ABNR™ removes suspended solids and pathogens, resulting in a high-quality water that could be used for secondary irrigation to supplement limited water supplies.  DESIGN ™ ™ Courtesy: CLEARAS (https://www.clearassolutions.com/)  DESIGN • Carbon Recycled: 15,700 lbs/day • Design: Spring 2021 – Spring 2022 • Algae Biomass Produced: 7000 dry lbs/day • Construction: Spring 2022 • Target Commission Date: Q4 2023  ARPA PROJECT BENEFITS In accordance with the Utah State Legislature’s Guiding Principles, this project: • Addresses the long-term challenges of meeting water quality goals in Utah and ensuring adequate water supplies through reuse. • Provides local and statewide benefits by helping to supplement limited water supplies and ensure beneficial uses of lakes, streams and other local water bodies are met for things like recreation, fishing, agriculture and wildlife. • Implements an innovative, biological-based solution that yields a treatment plant effluent with very low levels of phosphorus and nitrogen for discharge and will serve as a model for other treatment plants. • Aligns with the State’s core function of protecting public health and the environment at a local level.  ARPA PROJECT BENEFITS • Results in a net present benefit to residents and reduces inflationary pressure by reducing the amount of chemicals needed for treatment and producing a beneficial plant-based byproduct (algae) that can be sold to offset operational costs, culminating in lower overall costs. • Considers full cost of ownership and avoids creating an unfunded future cost by combining long-term, recurring sales of algae with monthly user charges to cover the capital and ongoing operation and maintenance costs of the project.  ARPA PROJECT BENEFITS Thickened Slurry Biomass Option #1 Soil Thickened Slurry Amendment • Biomass An additional benefit is Option that#1 the algae produced Soil and sold can beWhole-Cell usedD riedto replace traditional plastics, Biomass foams, etc. that are leading sources ofAmendment pollution world-wide.

The total estimated cost to construct and install ABNR™ is $47,276,500. The District is seeking ARPA funds totaling $1,000,000 from local government agencies. With an ARPA application deadline of August 31, the District is looking to receive commitments from local government agencies no later than August 18. Please consider making an appropriation to the District for ABNR™ as you allocate the ARPA funds you have received. Your partnership and contribution to this project at any level will increase the District’s ability to secure additional funding and go a long way to benefitting our communities both now and for generations to come. QUESTIONS ?  WEST BOUNTIFUL CITY ORDINANCE #445-21 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING WBMC 17.82 ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND RELATED SECTIONS 17.14, 17.16, 17.20, 17.24 WHEREAS, Utah Code Annotated §10-9a-101 et seq., also known as the “Municipal Land Use, Development, and Management Act,” grants authority to the West Bountiful City Council to make changes to its Zoning Ordinances; and WHEREAS, West Bountiful City currently allows property owners to have an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) within or attached to a single-family dwelling as long as it complies with the provisions of WBMC 17.82.; and WHEREAS, the 2021 legislature passed Senate Bill 82 which modified portions of single- family housing law dealing with ADUs; and WHEREAS, the West Bountiful Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing on July 13, 2021, and recommends modifications to comply with new state law.

The planning commission has been reviewing ADU regulations since last fall when John Janson and Jake Young, our consulting planners, provided information related to land use issues as part of the city’s stated goals in response to SB 34 (2020). At that time, the Commission unanimously supported moving ADUs from Conditional to Permitted Use as sufficient standards exist in city code to mitigate any detrimental effects. During the 2021 legislative session, SB 82 was passed which modified portions of single-family housing law dealing with ADUs. It requires cities to classify internal ADUs as a permitted land use; eliminates “unrelated” in single family definition referring to whom the ADU can be rented; prohibits many restrictions including size and lot area; and makes changes to the International Residential Code to make it easier to convert/ establish internal ADUs in existing homes. The new law applies to “internal” ADUs which are defined as being created within a primary dwelling or within the footprint of the primary dwelling. The city council and planning commission met jointly in April 2021 to discuss general policy issues related to ADUs. The planning commission was directed to consider appropriate changes to comply with state law and other issues that may benefit residents of the city. It was also decided that detached ADUs would not be considered at this time. Planning Commission Discussion Issues Considered and Included in Proposed Draft • Application. An application will be required for all ADUs and processed as a permitted use. • Impact Fees. Impact fees on internal and attached ADUs will continue to be waived. This was included as a benefit in the city’s Moderate Income Housing report from 2020. • Exceptions for Determining Owner Occupied Status. Property owners of ADUs are required to have permanent residence except for business, medical, military service, or religious reasons for a continuous period not exceeding 3 years. At no time shall both the ADU and primary dwelling be rented as separate units. • ADU Agreement. Each ADU will be subject to an ADU agreement recorded with the County Recorder. 550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486 Issues Considered and Excluded from Proposed Draft • Regulations for short-term (less than 30-day) rentals, such as VRBO’s and AIRBNB’s. The city is aware that short-term rentals are available in West Bountiful from time to time. The planning commission determined they did not have enough information to address the issue at this time so short-term rentals are neither specifically permitted nor prohibited in the draft. • The new state law allows cities to require the property owner of an ADU to obtain a business license. West Bountiful does not currently require such licenses for any rental property and neither planning commission nor staff were interested in implementing the requirement at this time. Recommendation Following the public hearing on July 27, 2021, the planning commission recommends approval of the attached ADU amendments - WBMC 17.82, 17.14, 17.16, 17.20, 17.24. 550 North 800 West, West Bountiful, UT 84087 (801) 292-4486  ORDINANCE 445-21, EXHIBIT A 7/30/2021 17.82 Accessory Dwelling Units 17.82.010 Purpose The purpose of this chapter is to establish use and development regulations for accessory dwelling units (ADUs).

To provide uniform standards for ADUs. 17.82.020 Definitions As used in this chapter, the following terms have the following definitions: “Accessory dwelling unit,” or “ADU,” means a separate dwelling unit, created within or attached to a single family dwelling, that complies with the provisions of this chapter. “Primary dwelling” means the main dwelling within the single family dwelling of which an ADU is a part or to which it is attached. The primary dwelling, independent of any ADU, shall meet all applicable requirements for a single family dwelling under this title, the current building codes adopted by the City, and state law. 17.82.030 Scope The requirements of this chapter shall apply to any ADU within the City. Such requirements shall not be construed to prohibit or limit other applicable provisions of this title, the West Bountiful Municipal Code, and other laws. 17.82.040 Development Standards The development standards in this section shall apply to all ADUs. A. Application. An application for an ADU in a form provided by the City will be required for all ADUs. The application will be processed as a permitted use. B. Location. An ADU shall be allowed only within or attached to an owner-occupied single family dwelling. The owner of the property shall have permanent residence in the primary dwelling or the ADU, subject to allowed absences under Section 17.82.040.I C. Number of Accessory Dwelling Units. A maximum of one (1) ADU shall be allowed within or attached to each single family dwelling. No lot or parcel shall contain more than one ADU. D. Parking. Adequate off-street parking shall be made available to accommodate the residential use of an ADU, subject to the residential use parking requirements of Chapter 17.52 of the West Bountiful Municipal Code and state law.

Parking spaces may include garage and driveway space. If the ADU is created within a garage or carport, sufficient off-street parking must be provided to replace the parking contained within the garage or carport. Parking stalls shall be paved with concrete, masonry, asphalt, or concrete pavers; gravel parking stalls or driveways are also allowed.  E. Utility Metering. No separate utility metering for the ADU shall be allowed, and the utility service shall be in the property owner’s name. F. Size. No minimum or maximum size is established for an ADU by this ordinance except that the unit shall contain at least a living area, kitchen area, sleeping area and bathroom facilities that comply with applicable provisions of this title, the current building codes adopted by the City, and state law. G. Construction Codes. An ADU shall comply with the construction housing codes in effect at the time the ADU is constructed, designated as an ADU, or remodeled. This shall include the obtaining of a building permit or other permits as the codes may require. H. Architecture. An ADU that is added onto or created within an existing single family dwelling or a new single family dwelling that is designed to accommodate an ADU shall not resemble a multi-family structure in terms of the number or location of garage doors, carports, outside entries, or porches. The architectural design and materials of an addition for an ADU shall match the existing single family dwelling so that the addition appears to be part of the original building. I. Owner Occupied.

Rod Wood provided an invocation, 19 and the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Boy Scout Bridger Youngberg. 20 21 1. Approve the Agenda. 22 23 MOTION: James Bruhn made a motion to approve the agenda. Rod Wood seconded the 24 Motion which PASSED by unanimous vote of all members present. 25 26 2. Public Comment. 27 28 Bridger Youngberg from Boy Scout Troop 109 came forward to present his idea for an Eagle Scout 29 project. He noted that his Troop, chartered in 1922, was one of the first in the state. It continues to 30 grow and currently has 30 boys. 31 His proposal is to relocate the plaques that were removed from city park when the new 32 concession building was built a couple years ago. These plaques describe history of the city. He 33 would like to place them on a half wall he will build on the grass by the south end of the Prospector 34 Trail at 400 North and 900 West. He has discussed his idea with Rocky Miller and Steve Maughan 35 who are comfortable with the proposal. He explained that placement of the plaques at city park was 36 his father’s original eagle scout project and it’s important to him that they be reinstalled. His goal is 37 to have the project complete by the end of the year. Members of the Council supported the project. 38 39 3. Request to Name Sand Volleyball Courts at City Park “Spiker Sands” in Honor of 40 Olympian Jake, Gibbs. 41 42 Matt Murri is proposing to place signage at the city park sand volleyball courts as a tribute to 43 “Spiker” Jake Gibb, a former Bountiful resident who recently qualified to go back to the Olympics 44 fo the 4th tome. He said we have a unique opportunity to pay tribute to a local Olympic athlete whose 45 professional beach volleyball career began playing in the sand courts at West Bountiful city park. 46 The intent is to recognize Jake Gibb with an attractive, low maintenance, dual post sign located just  WEST BOUNTIFUL Page 2 of 7 CITY COUNCIL MEETING July 20, 2021 47 in front of the light on the west side of the sand volleyball courts with the name, “Spiker Sands.” He 48 proposed that the sign include a referral to Jake’s website so people can learn more about him. Jake, 49 a husband, and father of two, started playing when he came back from his mission, is passionate 50 about sand volleyball, and spent countless hours playing on the West Bountiful sand courts. He 51 decided to pursue his passion and won over 34 championship titles and has now qualified for his 52 fourth trip to the Olympics. Mr. Murri estimates the cost to be $250 - $500 and he will seek private 53 donations to cover the cost of the sign. 54 55 There was discussion and Mr. Murri was asked to provide additional information including Jake 56 Gibb’s consent to having the sign and any documentation that might provide more about him playing 57 in West Bountiful. There was some concern about maintenance and safety around the sign. Steve 58 Maughan said he would like to go evaluate the site with Matt to make sure it won’t cause any 59 problems. 60 61 4. Request for Impact Fee Waiver – Becky Johnson, 567 W Pages Lane. 62 63 Duane Huffman introduced a request from Becky Johnson, 567 W Pages Lane, for a waiver of the 64 culinary water impact fee and a brief analysis of the council’s authority to adjust the fee and its 65 payment method. 66 67 Ms. Johnson explains in her letter the reasons for the request. She is a single mother who recently 68 moved into the city. The inspector she hired when she bought the home was not familiar with wells, 69 so only tested the water quality and not the integrity of the well. The previous homeowner told her 70 the well worked great. Ms. Johnson installed a water softener when she discovered how hard the 71 water was and wanted to protect against future damage to her pipes and appliances. Shortly after she 72 bought the home, her well booster pump went out. Replacement of the pump was not covered by her 73 home warranty policy. Once it was replaced, it was determined that the well was running dry which 74 is believed to have caused the damage to the pump. 75 76 She learned that a culinary water line was stubbed to her home when Pages Lane was rebuilt a few 77 years ago but it will be very costly to tie into the line. She said she has tried everything she can think 78 of throughout this painful process but there are no other options. She is asking that the water impact 79 fee be waived, and she would pay the meter fee and water usage going forward. 80 81 There was discussion about the request. Mr. Huffman said he believes there are about seven other 82 homes in the city in a similar situation and what they decide tonight will impact these other 83 homeowners. 84 85 Mayor Romney inquired about a long term payment plan and how a future sale of the property might 86 impact full payment. Steve Doxey explained that an agreement could be recorded against the 87 property so full payment would be required before closing on any future sale. 88 89 There was consensus that a long term payment plan agreement be prepared so the impact fees can be 90 paid in installments for up to five years. 91 92 Rod Wood added that he is aware of people who would like to donate to the cause. 93  WEST BOUNTIFUL Page 3 of 7 CITY COUNCIL MEETING July 20, 2021 94 Ms. Johnson thanked the Council for their consideration and appreciates their willingness to help 95 her. She also thanked council member Wood for the donations he mentioned. 96 97 MOTION: Rod Wood made a Motion not to waive the water impact fees but to allow 98 installments with no interest for up to five years as worked out with staff 99 and approved by the city attorney. James Bruhn seconded the Motion which 100 PASSED by unanimous vote of all members present. 101 102 5. Resolution 445-21, A Resolution Amending WBMC 12.24 Related to Dogs at City 103 Parks. 104 105 Mayor Romney requested that the topic of dogs at city parks be placed on the agenda for discussion 106 and potential action following the recent and on-going issues of dog waste, dogs off-leash, and other 107 health and safety issues. 108 109 There was discussion about the on-going problems. Dogs have been allowed in the parks now for 110 several years, but many owners do not follow the posted rules. The two biggest problems are dogs 111 off-leash and dog waste not picked up even though dog waste stations have been installed in 112 convenient locations. 113 114 Mr. Huffman shared proposals that offer two options related to dogs at city parks. The first would 115 prohibit dogs at all city parks; the second would prohibit dogs at the main city park and allow them 116 on-leash at other parks. These prohibitions will not affect service dogs. 117 118 A couple options were discussed. 119 • Improve signage. 120 • Police it better and cite owners when dogs are off-leash. 121 • Prohibit dogs at city park but continue to allow them at other parks and trails. 122 • Allow dogs on-leash but prohibit them at large events. 123 124 Mr. Huffman recalled that it was tough to enforce regulations when no dogs were allowed, and even 125 harder now when it’s on-leash only. Police have increased patrols of the park, but this is not 126 generally the best use of their time. 127 128 There was discussion about how signage might be improved and other ways to get the word out. 129 Separate signs by the waste stations, newsletter articles or a more general public relations campaign. 130 We could let people know that if the problems continue, dogs will no longer be allowed. 131 132 There was general consensus to prohibit dogs at large events like the firework display. 133 134 Council member Enquist said he spends a lot of time at the park and finds most dogs are on leash 135 and most owners pick up after their dogs. The problem is when dogs are allowed to run loose they 136 leave messes in areas that their owners don’t see. He doesn’t believe the problem is worse than in the 137 past and thinks the dog waste stations have been helpful. He suggests more signage. 138 139 Steve Maughan noted that the problem comes and goes with spring being the worst time of year. He 140 has not heard many complaints from his guys when mowing or working in the parks.  WEST BOUNTIFUL Page 4 of 7 CITY COUNCIL MEETING July 20, 2021 141 142 Julie Thompson, from the Davis Journal, commented that her kids were afraid of dogs, and they 143 liked coming to the West Bountiful Park because dogs were banned. 144 145 Staff was directed to take some time to review the problems and find ways to better educate the 146 public. 147 148 6. Proposal for Emergency Connection to West Bountiful Water System for Lakeside Golf 149 Course. 150 151 The irrigation system at Lakeside Golf Course is supplied with secondary water from Weber Basin 152 Water Conservatory District. While the city has a certain allotment, it is contingent on the water 153 being available. Due to the current drought, we began the season with a 20% decrease in our 154 secondary water allotment, with the expectation that the water season will be shortened to October 1. 155 We have been told by Weber Basin that the season could be shortened into September as drought 156 conditions worsen. If we lose water before the middle of September, the course will likely lose turf 157 on fairways, tees, and greens. 158 159 Understanding the need to conserve water, Lakeside began the season with a water management plan 160 and is on schedule to meet the water reduction goals. 161 162 While the course will see aesthetic impacts from using less water like the browning of turf, it is 163 critical that we not allow the death of turf, especially on greens, tees, and fairways. For example, if a 164 green is lost and the course replaces it with sod, we would likely lose play on that green for 1.5 165 months and spend $75K-$100K on sod. If it is replaced with seed, we would lose 150 days of play 166 for re-growth during peak playing season. Loss of play on greens would significantly alter course 167 revenue. 168 169 If the course used all of its resources to keep greens alive, we would risk significant loss on tees and 170 fairways, which would also result in months for re-growth, essentially losing a season of play, as 171 well as tens of thousands in seed costs. This is the primary reason that this emergency connection 172 proposal includes a connection large enough to keep the full course alive. 173 174 In anticipation of secondary water becoming unavailable at a point in the year where water would 175 still be critical to keeping turf alive, staff explored options related to connecting the irrigation system 176 to the city’s water system. Such a connection will continue to benefit the course if the drought 177 continues in the coming years and could also serve in emergency situations when Weber Basin has a 178 broken water line or maintenance to their system. 179 180 The proposal is for a 6” connection coming from the end of 975 West and approximately 812 North. 181 This connection would require a vault for the meter and backflow protection. In reviewing design 182 options, a smaller connection would not supply the needed pressure to fully operate the system. 183 184 The cost estimate for this proposal is $104,000 and includes a 15% contingency. Staff believes self- 185 performing as much work as possible could lower the total cost to $70,000, but manpower will be a 186 challenge. This proposal should be viewed as a long-term investment in the course, giving the city 187 more control in the ability to protect the primary asset.  WEST BOUNTIFUL Page 5 of 7 CITY COUNCIL MEETING July 20, 2021 188 189 Josh Virostko explained that irrigation of the course is very efficient by using a Toro smart irrigation 190 system that provides separate control of each sprinkler head. 191 192 There was discussion about combining this project with the trail planned to go from the end of 975 193 West along the north side of hole #2 and connecting to the Prospector trail. There is enough in the 194 Golf Course Fund to pay for the water connection, but RAP funds would be needed to help cover the 195 costs of the trail. 196 197 As far as timing, Duane said we should be fine this year but would like to move forward as soon as 198 possible. It will be important to do some public relations work so the public understands why we 199 need the connection. He added that we will move forward with the design and costs for the trail to 200 present for discussion at a future meeting. 201 202 MOTION: James Bruhn made a Motion to Approve an Emergency Connection for 203 Lakeside Golf Course to the West Bountiful Culinary Water System, and to 204 Move Forward with the Design and Costing of a New Trail Connection 205 from 975 W Along the South Edge of Hole # 2 to the Prospector Rail Trail. 206 Rod Wood seconded the Motion which PASSED by unanimous vote of all 207 members present. 208 209 7.

We made progress today getting down to 1 company on design and 233 CMCG candidates down to 4. We are following the process suggested by the state for the  WEST BOUNTIFUL Page 6 of 7 CITY COUNCIL MEETING July 20, 2021 234 selection committee, then we will negotiate a contract for an architect. The process for CMCG 235 will be similar but it may take longer to make a selection. 236 • Working on utility mapping for UDOT. 237 238 Community Development – Cathy Brightwell 239 • We are working on ordinance updates with planning commission – ADU’s, fences/clear view 240 area, housing in commercial areas, and landscaping. 241 • We are investigating several complaints regarding businesses operating without licenses. 242 243 Administrative Report – Duane Huffman 244 • Chasebrook, the owners of the Gateway shopping center complex, met with us about the need to 245 make changes to the property as they are losing tenants. They were excited to hear about the 246 city’s efforts to consider housing in commercial areas. We told them we are open to look at 247 anything they propose that would help the area be commercially viable. 248 • We discovered that property owners in Highgate Estates who have already paid for their building 249 permits paid for the standard ¾ inch water meter instead of the 1 inch meter the developers 250 installed. The difference in cost is about $2400. They have all been invoiced for the difference 251 and we will be open to installments, if requested. 252 • We received our first allotment ARPA funds, and the state just announced a matching grant 253 program. 254 • Duane met with the Sewer District, and they provided a tour of their algae facility.
