Voting was unanimous in favor.
Business:
1. Report on the Central Weber Sewer District. (Presenter: James Fisher)
Mayor Wheelwright: Central Weber Sewer District is a special service district and Pleasant View City is entitled to have one member to serve on the board. Jim Fisher is the city’s representative and we hope he will continue to serve. Jim Fisher: there are eleven cities represented on the board. The reason for the sewer plant expansion is growth and meeting the environmental standards. The design life of the plant is 40 to 50 years. We are at that point and it will be costly. There are three sources of income: 1) impact fees, 2) property taxes, and 3) user fees. Pleasant View City’s user fee is $5.25 per residential unit and it will go up. It is approximately a year out before they starts turning over dirt. CM Humphreys: I would like a field trip through the plant before and after the expansion.
2. Request to use the city parking lot for a young women’s fundraiser. (Presenter: Lori Stokes)
No show.
3. Request a conditional use permit for Marsh Construction for a building materials yard on property located at approximately 950 w 2250 N. (Presenter: Bruce Talbot)
Bruce Talbot: there are three issues on the conditional use permit: 1) access to 2700 N, 2) layout of the site relative to utilities, and 3) zone requirement relative to setbacks. The planning commission also left it to staff for final construction details. CM Clifford: building materials will still give off dust and fumes. Can you capture all that? Dave Marsh: yes. CM Ferguson: will there be slats in the fence. Mike Marsh: no. Discussion took place on fence screening. Paul Ellsworth: ‘Screen’ is chain-link fencing. ‘Slated” is privacy fencing.
Motion was made by CM Clifford to grant a conditional use permit according to all conditions in the planning commission’s recommendations including yard material and rentals and to clarify the required fencing as chain-link without slats. 2nd by CM Humphreys. Voting was unanimous in favor.
4. Amend the 800 W pressure regulator bid. (Presenter: Fred Hellstrom)
Fred Hellstrom: the pressure regulator bid needs to have a change order in the bid because there are two sewer crossings, and per State regulation, the line will have to be encased in concrete. The change order amount is $5,064.00.
Motion was made by CM Humphreys to amend the bid for the 800 W pressure regulator in the amount of $5,064.00. 2nd by CM Clifford. Voting was unanimous in favor.
5. Discussion and/or action on turning over a 10” water main to Bona Vista Improvement District. (Presenter: Fred Hellstrom)
Fred Hellstrom: the water line goes down 1100 W then along HWY 89 by Jerry’s Heating. We are trying to make boundary adjustments. West of Hwy 89 would be Bona Vista and the east of Hwy 89 would be the city’s until it gets to the Pepsi plant and Clair’s Plumbing, those areas are served by Bona Vista. The only exception would be Don Hurford who punches across Hwy 89 to the west side and his meter is on west side or later he can connect to the city’s line. Bona Vista wants us to put in auto-read meters, four meters at approximately $340 each. Brent Bailey stated that he would do the connection. That line is our number one leak spot. Mayor Wheelwright: did Bona Vista pass a resolution? I would like to see a copy of it. Fred Hellstrom: it is $1,000 an acre to annex into Bona Vista. Those currently existing on the line will be turned over to Bona Vista. Bona Vista will waive the fee to those, but those coming in afterwards would have to pay for it. Fred Hellstrom: I will get a copy of the minutes. This will be placed on the next agenda.
6. Budget Workshop.
The council discussed health insurance and chose two plans, they asked for salary and benefit information to set percentage increases that the city can live with. They added funding for an administrator/economic specialist. Additional funding was added to the Betterments and the council determined that the Open Space Fund could fund sidewalks along Pleasant View Drive and those funds were budgeted.
7. Closed Meeting – Discuss personnel issue.
Motion was made by CM Ferguson to go into a closed meeting to discuss personnel issues. 2nd by CM Clifford. Voting was unanimous in favor.
Minutes of the closed meeting are protected records and are filed separately.
Motion was made by CM Clifford to end the closed meeting to discuss personnel issues. 2nd by CM Humphreys. Voting was unanimous in favor.
