Officers Compensation Increase, second by Council Member Fawcett. The vote on the motion was as follows: Council Member Wilhelmsen, Yes Council Member Weiss, Yes Council Member Christensen, Yes Council Member Jackson, Yes Council Member Fawcett, Yes The motion passed unanimously. d. Public Hearing - To receive public comment for and/or against the issuance of lease revenue bonds. Jennie Knight explained this public hearing is about the resolution adopted during the May Council Meeting that allows up to $10,000,000 in lease revenue bonds. The City acquired property on 750' West in 2004. There has been a projected City Hall on that property since it was acquired. Gene Bingham recommended in 2016 to start building a new municipal complex when he retired. The expansion opportunities for the current building are limited. There is no room to grow to the North, South, and West. Expansion to the East would eliminate the parking lot. Due toi the BCI requirements it creates requirements for all city employees because of the access to the Police Department. All office space in the building is at maximum occupancy. All indications from financial advisors it is unlikely that we would ever outpace interest rates and construction costs. This would cause increased costs if the new complex is delayed. An example is during the 2008 housing crash construction costs stabilized but never decreased. Once it stabilized construction costs have continually risen. Council Member Jackson inquired if the current building is ADA compliant. Jennie Knight explained we are not currently ADA compliant. Council Member Jackson inquired if we had an estimated cost to make this building ADA and BCI compliant. Jennie Knight stated we do not have a current cost. Council Member Fawcett inquired about what could be built with the current bonds. Jennie Knight explained staff has meet with the architect. The new cost estimate is approximately $14,600,000 instead of the original $18,000,000. Staff has also ordered appraisals for City owned property that would go Motion: Council Member Weiss made a motion to open the public hearing for the issuance of towards the cost of this project. lease revenue bonds, second by Council Member Fawcett. The vote on the motion was as follows: Council Member Wilhelmsen, Yes Council Member Weiss, Yes Council Member Christensen, Yes Council Member Jackson, Yes Council Member Fawcett, Yes CITYCOUNCIL MEFTING-IENETL24 The motion passed unanimously. Kathy Whitten feels like citizens are not heard. They see the needs for new buildings. They want to know exactly what the money is going to be used for. She would like to vote on items as Larry Lily supports what the last speaker said. He wonders if Council even hears what the citizens say. The last bond was done right. It was on the ballot. His concern is that this new bond will not be oni the ballot. A bond should go to the voters. They should decide. Council is afraid of what the people will say. You know the people will reject it again. This seems shady or tyrannical. The Council is supposed to be the go between to mediate between the citizens and Rick Wetz explained the previous bond was voted down. He does not want a recreation facility. Let the residents vote on this. A city government does not produce revenue. The only way to John Perry explained in March of this year Council voted to create the Harrisville Building Authority. The building authority gives the council the ability to create taxes and issue bonds without consulting the citizens. The building authority can incur debt without going through the people. They are subverting the voice of the people. The people have the right and responsibility to make the decision for themselves. The city needs to plan and save for the future. That is the problem with government agencies. They do not take responsibility for city's Kathleen Hahosh thanked council for their service but reminded them that they each took an oath to the constitution. The Council gets their power from the people. The powers granted by them are for the citizens benefits. Two years ago, citizens voted against the bond. Our founding fathers wanted any debt that is created to be paid off during that generation. Ifnot, it is theft. Consent of the governed, we have a voice. We the people voted against and it should go back Will Slade has lived in the City for 18 years. He wants to see the plan. He wants to see how money is allocated to each component of the project. He would be very interested to know how much is going to compliance, and how much is going to actual needs, and what is being spent Jayna Frost explained that the recreation center was voted down because the negative view of the splash pad. When calling about the splash pad the number said it was not available. When she called there was not a lot of information about what this actually looks like. We want to know what we are paying for and what the full plan is. We do not want another splash pad fiasco. Debra Lindell believes that we need aj jail that is compliant. We could build a jail that is compliant and leave city hall where it is. She is against a recreation center. Christine Robinson is retired from the Utah State Tax Commission. This was voted down and it is being forced on residents anyway. The economy is in the toilet. She is on a fixed income and is driving a semi to make ends meet. The North View Fire will increase taxes as well to citizens. the city staff. pay for this is at tax increase. Please do not go down this road. money. to a vote again. on wants. construct their new building. CITYCOUNCI MEETING-, JUNE 11.2024 Craig Adam wants to address affordable housing. These taxes and bonds will not help people with affordable housing. This will not help new home owners get into houses. He understands there are requirements that are outside of the Council's control. Please listen to the people. Michelle Singleton's husband served on the planning commission for 6 years. Citizens have offered you their time and sweat. When the bond was going through, she emailed all the council members and did not get a response back. She has volunteered her time. There are citizens that try to support the city. When she has asked about other options they have not been pursued. Icannot get a phone call or an email back. If we use the citizens and the skills they possess. Citizens helped clean up the park and maintain it. It was sad seeing the sprinklers on Beverly Foulger appreciates the police presence around her house. She received the newsletter. The newsletter keeps asking for money. Cutting the garbage is not going to help. The park on Independence used to be beautiful. The splash pad is recreation and it is not working. She walked to it with her two grandchildren and it was not working. She does not Joy Wiese remembers many nights and discussions from her father who was a past mayor of Harrisville. He was sO concerned about bringing the sewer into the city. Her father was sO excited to have the first little house for the City. Her father was sO concerned about the citizens. This Council feels that the residents do not understand what is going on. Iti is disappointment Michelle Bun has lived in Harrisville for two months. She was hoping to escape the HOA but is not happy here. Her favorite quote is the only constant is change. She supports the police department but not a recreation building. Since the pandemic why are we working at the office and not remotely. Remote work can be done. The economy is hitting everyone's pocket book. David Anderson lives on North Harrisville Rd. Each time he has spoken here he has not been listened to. The taxi increase that we received was more than het thought was needed. Where is the money for this coming from. He is on a fixed income. He cannot afford it. He was hoping to have a comfortable retirement. The bond was voted down two years ago. Let's itemize the things that the citizens need. North Harrisville Rd should not be a speed trap. No one can afford Doug Wiese made a request for a line-item budget. How is the city going to spend the $10,000,000. If you want support provide a line-item budget. When you get a bid back it will Mike Dalpias would like to see options. He wants the City to have a 10-year plan. Chad Davis commented the city can't keep three bathrooms open at the park sO why give you Sandy Cole explained this is a small community. There are no rich people. There are seniors Blaine Barrow has heard a lot of comments tonight. He agrees with a lot of these comments. The City is not telling the people what is going on. He has a lot of people ask him about 1100 N. flooding the mud. Please listen to us. appreciate the bond issue. that we are not being listened to or supported. a bond at this interest rate. have line-item costs. How do you intend to spend that money. money. that cannot afford these bonds. CIICOUNCIL MEKTING-JUNE 11.2024 information pertaining to the buildings. He wants to see a graph of how much taxes willi increase when these new buildings are added. The real cost is not stated. He has never heard from the City what the taxation will be. He does not get the information from the meetings that he needs. Linda Gaz has lived in Harrisville for over 50 years. Residents want to know how this is going to be paid for. She believes 99% are worried about how this will be paid for. They are worried how they will be able to live. Iti is not all going to come from individual pockets. She does not believe people are trying to hide things but they want to know how this will be paid for. She voted fora recreation building. She wants her children in this neighborhood. She does not want them going Motion: Council Member Wilhelmsen made a motion to close the public hearing for the issuance ofl lease revenue bonds, second by Council Member Jackson. Let's build these sO they are affordable. to another City. The vote on the motion was as follows: Council Member Wilhelmsen, Yes Council Member Weiss, Yes Council Member Christensen, Yes Council Member Jackson, Yes Council Member Fawcett, Yes The motion passed unanimously. e. Ben Lomond Views Discussion Jennie Knight explained a preconstruction meeting will be held for Millenium Park. The construction will be done in two phases SO it does not interfere with the irrigation season. Staff has meet with potential buyers for the development. There has been some apprehension on the developer's part to cover insurance on the park and not purchase it. Due to it being a regional detention basin the City cannot sell it. Staff's recommendation is to have the HOA pay ai fee and City staff maintain the park. Currently the sewer is being put in on Highway 89. They must have itc completed by Mid-July. All of the buyers have indicated that the density allowed in the development will not support the commercial element. Staff is looking at what type of negotiations Council would be willing to do if any. Council Member Jackson inquired if potential buyers would come do a presentation to Council. Jennie Knight stated yes, one is willing to do a presentation. Council Member Wilhelmsen stated he would like the presentation to be at Council Meeting so the public can be aware ofi it. Council Member Christensen inquired if the commercial area could be moved to the Highway. Jennie Knight explained not unless we renegotiate Phase 2A which has been approved already. Council Member Fawcett stated she would like to have the conversation. Council asked to have the developer attend Council Meeting and present. f. Risk Assessment Jill Hunt explained the risk assessment is required by the State. Auditor. This helps us to eliminate potential risks. They audit the policies we have in place and whether or not we follow them. We are working on two policies which when completed will get us to a maximum of 395 out of 395. Our current score is 385 out of 395. CITYCOUNCII MEHING-JUNFTL20A4 Motion: Council Member Weiss made a motion to accept the risk assessment as presented, second by Council Member Christensen. The vote on the motion was as follows: Council Member Wilhelmsen, Yes Council Member Weiss, Yes Council Member Christensen, Yes Council Member Jackson, Yes Council Member Fawcett, Yes The motion passed unanimously. g. Discussion/possible action to adopt Harrisville Resolution 24-10; a resolution updating the Consolidated Fee Schedule. Jennie Knight explained the Consolidated Fee Schedule has two updates. One is the second garbage can price will be updated to match the first can price. The second item is that the business license prices will be added to the fee schedule. Council Member Wilhelmsen inquired why the second can prices needed to be raised. Jennie Knight stated the garbage fund as pointed outi int the audit was in a deficit. Iti is an enterprise fund. It must be self-sustaining. The City pays the same tipping fee for the first can and any additional cans. It was no longer financially feasible for the City to pay the difference for the second can. Motion: Council Member Wilhelmsen made a motion to adopt Harrisville Resolution 24-10; a resolution updating the Consolidated Fee Schedule, second by Council Member Weiss. The vote on the motion was as follows: Council Member Wilhelmsen, Yes Council Member Weiss, Yes Council Member Christensen, Yes Council Member Jackson, Yes Council Member Fawcett, Yes The motion passed unanimously. h. 750 West Police Department Building Discussion Jennie Knight explained this is not an action item; only a discussion. Staff has met with the architect to reduce the cost to approximately $14,600,000. Appraisals for City property are being completed and should be available at the July Meeting. There is a meeting that will cover expected cost analysis. We received our certified tax rate; it has decreased to. 001486. If Council decides to recapture the .0015 rate the approximately property tax increase would be $3.41. Council Member Jackson inquired if there will be a holding cell in the police facility. Chief Wilson explained no; the building will not have holding cells. There are different laws to abide by when you start having holding cells. It would be a waste of money with the jail sO close. Jennie Knight explained some items that were eliminated for cost were the multi-purpose wall that cuts off the community room from the council chambers. Reduced infrastructure costs, reduced parking for staff, reduced number of gates and whether automated or not, combined office spaces that could be built out at a later date, added cubicles instead of private offices, removed the sally port from the police side, combined office spaces between sergeants and detectives, CYCOUNCIL MBFTING-IUNETL2N04 sharing space with North View Fire Gym, mechanical system cost savings ini the HVAC, structural systems, braces, and framing. The architect is getting a cost breakdown sO we know that we can start and finish the building. Council Member Fawcett inquired about the recreational building. Jennie Knight explained there will be no recreational facility in any of the phasing ini this bond scenario. Council Member Wilhelmsen inquired if we have a cost for just the police department. Jennie Knight explained some of these areas are dual purpose. Ai final number cannot be provided currently but an estimate would be over $8,000,000. Council Member Weiss asked what was cut back in the police department. Jennie Knight explained the sally port, an evidence return area, combined offices between sergeants and detectives, reduced the court offices, sharing interview rooms with court offices, reduced footprint oft the Council Member Jackson inquired if evidence and property would be separate. Chief Wilson explained the sally port would have been one of those storage areas for property for example bikes. The secure evidence return area was removed. It would have been a space that would reduce interaction of personnel with the public during evidence returns. Particularly because the evidence custodian is not a law enforcement officer and the goal was to limit interactions between them and people picking up their property. Council Member Weiss inquired about the cost of the evidence return and sally port. Chief Wilson explained we can come up with options like a locker system. The sally port would be easier to add on later. Council Member Weiss stated he wants to put ini the needs for this building. If we wait for some of these things the cost will only go up. He would like tol know the cost with the security measures. Marcus Keller, Crews and Associates, clarified there will be no parks or recreation center int this project for bonds. You need to consider cost inflation which increases every day. A project that was bid out in Southern Utah at $60,000,000 six years ago now costs over $90,000,000. He agrees with Council Member Weiss if these add-ons will be done in a short time it would be better to include in the initial build. Council Member Christensen stated we need to look ati it two ways. He wants to see it with the whole project and the police station while keeping this current building for City offices. Council Member Fawcett thanked Marcus Keller for the clarification on the bond language. Marcus Keller stated these public hearings are required by state law sO we can receive the public comment. Council Member Weiss inquired can we get an estimate if we would wait on the City Hall for three to five years. Council Member Christensen inquired could we have a broken-down line item for the City Hall and Police as separate phases. Jennie Knight explained the cost for just doing architectural services would be roughly $500,000. Staff has not moved past the programing phase. The architect may not be willing to show their proprietary software to do line by line costs until we have paid the full amount. Council Member Christensen inquired if we wait would it bet too late to issue the bond. Marcus Keller clarified we would get final numbers then issue bonds if that is what Council decides. The resolution allows up to $10,000,000 in bonds. If only $2,000,000 is needed then that's what the City can bond for, or after receiving final costs the City can take a step back and not issué bonds at all. Council is not obligated to issue bonds we have only started the legal process toi issue them if desired. Council Member Fawcett questioned if we get thel line-item list can we post it. Jennie Knight clarified that if we purchased the services and were going out to bid, we can publish them. Marcus Keller explained providing a breakdown of each phase could be helpful to Council, we could not provide al line by line yet but a generalized breakdown. Council Member Wilhelmsen inquired how does the legality work ift the public decides they want to vote on it. Marcus Keller explained the law referenced is on any bond. Any bond issued can have a referendum which would put the bond to a vote. Council Member' Wilhelmsen inquired about the timeframe and when does it start. Marcus Keller stated Brandon Johnson would know better but it started when the resolution passed last month. Council Member Fawcett stated that the Council wanted to see what options are and get citizens feedback. Marcus Keller encouraged those in attendance muiti-purpose room, and removed the wellness room. TYCINGIENIETNG JUNE 11.2024 to review the May 14th, 2024 Council Meeting Minutes. His team will have a breakdown in July. Justin Shinsel stated when looking at phasing the project, we would be better served constructing the whole building and not finishing the City side of the building. Building two separate buildings greatly increases the cost oft the building. It is fiscally irresponsible to do two separate buildings. He feels it would be more beneficial to look at the programing phase and not do the City Hall side of the project. Council Member Fawcett stated just roughing in areas until we are ready to expand. Justin Shinsel answered, yes, that is what he is suggesting. If we can only do one element it should be the actual building and finish inside elements at a later date. Council agreed with Justin Shinsel's assessment. Jennie Knight said she will invite the architect to the meeting in July. Council Member Wilhelmsen stated het felt that one message is that the 7.

Public Comment Mayor Tait opened the public comment period. Kevin Varble has lived in Harrisville for 43 years. He has a few concerns. If residents do automatic withdrawals from Bona Vista, they do not get the Harrisville Happenings Newsletter. He found out how to sign up but is concerned some will be unable to figure it out. He thanked Public Works for fixing holes ini the road sO quickly. Everyone wants to have a clear understanding. We need things toi improve. CITYCOUNCIL MEFTINO-IUNFTL304 Larry Lilly explained the meeting format is very difficult. There is no two-way communication. Why were the rates increased two months ago and it's still not in the black. The people are what drives decisions. You have to take their voice into account. Once you eliminate the people's voice that is tyranny. That is taxation without representation. We want to be able to vote on things. People that are rich don't come to these meetings. These extras are what the concern is. Rick' Wetz explained they were provided an agenda that was inaccurate. If you want a public hearing and our opinion you need to provide us accurate data to talk to. The police station is a need and not in compliance. We have no communication. You get to dictate to us what we can Jayna Frost inquired why the open house is only scheduled for one hour. You have to make it available to residents. It needs to have numbers and how you are being fiscally responsible. We Beverly Foulger explained there was an error in the Harrisville Happenings how soon will Council Members be able to get the word out to the community. Waiting for the July newsletter is not efficient. How do you expect a family of five to live with only one garbage can. She did not ask for her grandchildren to come live with her. She will not pay for another can. John Perry asked if other facilities have been toured. Other police stations and city facilities. What access or relationship should the police have with the rest of the city offices. Erecting a structure with rough in does not save much money. When you come back in to finish a building the needs have changed. What was roughed in does not change anymore. Street lights ini the city are in dire repair. The ones down the street from him are not on. The ones by his house work off and on. The city is responsible to fix them except on Highway 89. The residents do not want or need the most glorious city building. There is a difference between wants and needs. If you have toured other facilities, you would know what would work and what would not. We should create a ten- or twenty-year plan that notifies citizens of progress for that plan. Michelle Singleton explained if circumstances stay the same it would be more cost effective to build it now and not wait. Ini the political arena wel have now, we cannot project ifi it will be more expensive in three to five years. Residents in Harrisville remember doing it for this building. Why are we doing it again. Have we taken the steps for the old building that we have for the new buildings. As you can see with just the Ben Lomond Golf Course construction is volatile. We are not saying you are doing it wrong but it cannot be done right now. These developers had unforeseen costs and could not make it work. Help us work together to not live on the fine line. Mike Farrell commented that people go to the power company, they can report lights that are Marvin Farrell has attended several meetings. There are the public comments then discussion with the City. If we can get a different system, we could avoid miscommunication. It could have been straightened out and the public know about. What happened with business itemsiandj. or cannot say. This is not a dictatorship. Give us the correct data to talk to. will work with you and not against you ify you do these things. out. Maybe the City can educate residents on that. Mayor Tait closed the public comment period. 10. Mayor/Council Follow-up Mark Wilson explained Lexipol gave the department Gold Status. Iti is based on policy and how officers apply it. This is the third year of gold status. Officer Paradis completed his training on CITYCOUNCIL MEFING-JENETL304 non-lethal methods and can instruct others now. All officers are up to date on their forty hours of training. We are up roughly one thousand calls from this time last year. We are looking for a new officer to replace one that is leaving. The department is looking to fill the position of a victim Justin Shinsel addressed some public comment. Rocky Mountain and the city share responsibility for street lights. Please call the city and let us know sO we can get a work order in to get the light fixed. It is a busy time of year. There is a lot of development going on in the City. Ify you see sidewalk in your vicinity that is breaking up let us know sO we cani fixi it. If you see Bryan Fife updated Council about the splash pad. They turned it on May 20th, an electrical component went out. The part was installed today. The Health Department will be doing their inspection tomorrow. Hopefully it will be open Friday. The park on 1100 N. was hydro seeded. It was watered heavily per the recommendation of the manufacturer. There is a movie int the park Jennie Knight explained the moderate-income housing report is due by the end of July. We will be working to get our plan finished with what we have done over the last twelve months to meet our goals. We might need to have a general plan work session with strategic plans from department heads. The last plan was adopted in 2019. They need to be adopted every ten years but staff feels like it may be relevant to adopt it sooner. Last year legislatures passed a Council Member Wilhelmsen reported on the senior luncheon. There were about 35 people. During the meeting a citizen mentioned that a stop sign would be nice on 2550 West and 600 advocate. issues with the roads, please let us know sO we can fix them. Friday. lawi fining cities if they do not meet the moderate-income housing needs. North. 11.Adjournment Wilhelmsen.
