PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. JORDAN VALLEY WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT PROPOSED
PROPERTY TAX INCREASE REPORT TO THE WEST VALLEY CITY
COUNCIL
Alan Packard, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, provided a report to the
City Council summarized as follows:
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – MAY 15, 2018
-3-
- Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District is proposing a property tax increase for
its fiscal year 2018/2019 budget. Citizens will be able to attend a public hearing on
the issue Wednesday, August 8, 2018, at 6:00 p.m. Questions and comments from
the public are invited and encouraged.
At right is a figure showing Jordan Valley Water’s revenue sources, of which
property taxes make up 25 percent. The proposed increase in property tax
revenue is estimated at $800,000 to $950,000, which would constitute an
increase of 5% to 6%. This new revenue would result from increasing the
projected certified tax rate (0.000379) to 0.0004.
The table below shows estimated property tax increases based on a home or
business value of $325,000.
$325,000 HOME $325,000
BUSINESS
Current annual tax $67.75 $123.18
Estimated new annual tax $71.50 $130.0
Difference per year $3.75 $6.83
Jordan Valley Water will properly provide notice of the public hearing and
proposed tax increase amounts in newspapers and on the Utah Public Notice
Website.
Purposes for the additional tax revenue:
Jordan Valley Water must develop and construct water supplies and
infrastructure to keep pace with the needs of its rapidly-growing member
cities and districts. Two examples for which the additional property tax will
be used are:
(1) The Central Water Project. Jordan Valley Water will annually
receive 11,680 acre-feet of this new underground water supply
through CUWCDa. To date, Jordan Valley Water has built its own
$17 million 6-mile pipeline to receive the water, and is making
annual payments of $11.7 million to CUWCD for its capital costs
of this new supply.
(2) Provo Reservoir Canal Enclosure Project increases Jordan
Valley Water’s delivery capacity. Its portion of the cost is $39
million, with $25 million of future payments still to be paid
through 2035. This project is necessary for Jordan Valley Water to
obtain its 16,400 acre-feet of Strawberry Reservoir Water,
beginning approximately 2027, and for increased summer water

pedestrian traffic.

welcome to the neighborhood. He stated that additional density is a danger in this
area and there is already a significant amount of traffic. Mr. Miller stated that
animal rights are important to the community in Chesterfield and this type of
residential would take away from that environment.

MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – MAY 15, 2018
-7-
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
Information as follows:
West Valley City staff is recommending an ordinance amendment to repeal
and reenact the City’s sign ordinance. A similar revision to the zoning
ordinance was made earlier last year. Many of the changes are simply
cleanup such as capitalizing defined terms, putting definitions in
alphabetical order, consolidating all sign types allowed by zone into a table
and deleting definitions that are already covered in the zoning ordinance. A
summary of all of the changes is included with this report.
The most significant changes include:
Updating the definition of temporary signs to exclude less durable
materials.
Defining the term permanent sign and clarifying which sign types
are permanent. This will improve enforcement efforts on
temporary signs being used as permanent signs.
Adding a time limit for banners. This will also improve
enforcement efforts on temporary signs being used as permanent
signs.
Adding discoloration caused by the removal of a wall sign as an
enforceable offense.
Modifying the bonus sign area section to exclude bonuses for
things that are generally done anyway or that aren’t a benefit for
the City.
Adding regulations for permanent entry signs. This will prevent
these types of signs from becoming the primary form of
advertising on a site.
Adding standards for gasoline pump island canopy signs and
allowing such signs to include electronic message signs.
Mayor Pro-Tem Buhler opened the Public Hearing. There being no one to speak in
favor or opposition, Mayor Pro-Tem Buhler closed the Public Hearing.
