[0:07] All right, it's 7.05 p.m. on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. The tool city council meeting in a business meeting, that's being held immediately following the RDA meeting that we just had. We are still in the council chambers. Okay, at 90 North Main Street, and we are still streaming this on the tool city YouTube channel. We will start with the pledge of allegiance. If you'll please rise and repeat after me.

[0:50] Thank you. Our second item is a roll call. Councilman Gossett. Councilwoman Goaches. Councilman Hansen. Councilman McCall.

[0:58] President and Councilman Brady and I'm also present.

[1:01] Item three is the Mayor's Youth Recognition Awards.

[1:04] We will turn the time over to Mayor Marisa Manzio.

[1:11] Thanks, Council, I'm going to turn to the audience.

[1:13] So, no offense.

[1:15] Tonight we have a special treat.

[1:17] We have a Mayor's Youth Recognition Award.

[1:20] There's something we've never done before.

[1:21] We are honoring a group of students tonight

[1:24] who I think are unaware that they are receiving

[1:26] the Mayor's Recognition Award.

[1:28] So tonight we would like to award the Mayor's Youth Recognition

[1:32] to the Settlement Canyon Elementary Show Choir, they are directed by Jeanine Gilley.

[1:37] And they are here tonight.

[1:38] I'll just read their nomination to you.

[1:40] This choir was nominated by Jeanine Gilley, the music director.

[1:44] The Settlement Canyon Show Choir is a group of talented 3 to 6 graders who have auditioned

[1:48] and committed to hours of rehearsal to not only seeing, but to learn complicated dance

[1:53] numbers.

[1:53] It is more than required time commitment for a regularly elementary scheduled day.

[1:58] and more than a regular elementary school choir.

[2:03] Their songs are ones of hope and perseverance,

[2:05] giving the message of life to their peers,

[2:08] of finding strength in our weaknesses,

[2:10] and of pushing on because no one's book is finished.

[2:14] And we are still writing.

[2:16] Giving the message that if we fail, we will fail together.

[2:19] And when we rise, we rise together.

[2:22] In love and friendship and bravery,

[2:24] each of these songs contributes to the theme of America 250

[2:27] because of nation even after 250 years is continuing to grow and persevere as well as stand together through ups and downs.

[2:35] We rely on each other and will continue to do so.

[2:39] This group of children put forth the effort to stretch their talents, try something new,

[2:43] stick to something even when it gets tough and overcome their anxiety and performing for others.

[2:48] They are wonderful example to our community.

[2:51] So congratulations to the settlement canyon elementary show choir.

[2:59] have a certificate for each of them and we have a little gift bag for each of them as well but we

[3:06] have a special treat tonight because they are actually here to perform for us. So we will let

[3:11] the show choir do their performance and then after your two songs, okay, and then after the

[3:19] performance we'll give you a certificate, sing your gift bag and we'll try and get a picture in

[3:24] in the Rotunda with the Council. Okay? All right. So let's hear it for the show choir.

[3:40] Here's the second.

[12:34] Certificates. Great job. And I feel to recognize your choreographer,

[12:40] AirDreamerofigans. Hopefully I said it right.

[12:43] Morafigan. Thank you. I'm sensitive to that because I have a hard name too. So

[12:49] okay. Thank you. Good job. You guys. That was a lot of practice where we were happy to have you

[12:54] So I'm going to read your names.

[12:55] I don't know who each of you are.

[12:57] So you'll have to raise your hand.

[12:57] If you're not here, I'll give them to your teacher, OK?

[13:00] OK, Austin Blunk,

[13:04] Alison and Arsau, and Arsau.

[13:09] Madi Nielsen.

[13:11] Thank you.

[13:13] Is a Hori Behedad,

[13:17] Jack Rydolch,

[13:22] Jacob Piseno-Vaca,

[13:27] McKenna Robertson, I think you're a stuck.

[13:30] Lenora Bray, Clara Hanson, Paisley Freidenberger, Lila Hart,

[13:46] Kimber Colovich,

[13:56] Gemma Serato, Tylee Hill,

[14:03] Strider, McBride, sage, friend, brother, and bow write-outs.

[14:09] Good job.

[14:11] Thank you, you guys.

[14:17] In case you had a friend that wasn't here and didn't see you, we are on YouTube, so you

[14:22] can look at the Tourist City Channel and you can watch it on YouTube.

[14:25] You can show all your friends.

[14:26] So if you will just come out into the road time to write out here, we'll have the council

[14:29] come out and we'll just take a picture with you all, okay?

[14:32] Okay.

[18:44] I think we're all back. Okay, that brought a lot of positive energy. So we're going to move on to our next item, which is an America 250 tribute by just serve city designation and proclamation. This is presented by Cameron and Annalee Storp.

[19:08] That's a hard act to follow, and we will not be dancing. Sorry. Well, nobody wants to sue me dance. Mayor Manzion, members of the city council, thank you for allowing us to be here with you tonight. My wife and I serve.

[19:24] As representatives of just serve for the Twilla Valley, just serve help spring people, organizations, faith groups, and communities together through meaningful opportunities to serve, and we are grateful to work alongside so many who are dedicated to making a difference here in our valley.

[19:40] One of the things that stands out most about Twilla is that people here genuinely care about one another.

[19:46] There is a spirit of helping, volunteering, and building unity in the community through service.

[19:51] Just serve, brings people together across the community to promote and support

[19:56] volunteerism and to help build a culture of service.

[20:03] As Tawila continues to grow, there is an incredible opportunity to continue building a culture of service.

[20:10] One where individuals, families, organizations and neighborhoods work together to strengthen

[20:15] the community and care for one another.

[20:18] Mayor Manzione and members of the City Council, thank you for your leadership and for

[20:22] your vision for service in our community. Your support of community partnerships and

[20:27] volunteer efforts is helping make Tula City an even better place to live. A community

[20:32] where people feel connected, supported and willing to serve one another. So today it

[20:38] is our honor to officially recognize Tula City as a just serve city and to present this plaque

[20:44] as a symbol of that partnership and shared vision of service. We look forward to continuing

[20:50] to work alongside, tool-a-city, to expand opportunities for service, strengthen community

[20:57] connections, and help build a future where a tool is not, is no, not only for its growth,

[21:02] but for the way its people care for and serve one another.

[21:06] Thank you for your leadership, and thank you for your commitment to the people of tool-a-city.

[21:17] We also have some other goodies for the city as well.

[21:20] Thank you. Thank you. And I think we had our proclamation in the packet but here is our

[21:28] signed proclamation.

[21:34] So there are shirts.

[21:39] We have

[21:48] some signs and then we also have stickers

[21:52] that can be displayed anywhere that you want throughout the city so that you guys can be

[21:57] recognize this is a just serve city so it's all in the box. It's all yours awesome and we would

[22:11] love to get a picture if that's okay. Thank you and thank you for your help in getting

[22:17] is certified.

[22:33] Item

[24:14] five, that's our public comment period.

[24:17] We ask that you state your name into the mic.

[24:20] You keep your comments to three minutes or less, and then you sign the paper by Shiloh.

[24:25] Shiloh has the timer going, it'll pop up on the screen, that your time is up, and then

[24:29] and there'll be an audible alarm as well,

[24:31] and then the microphone will be shut off.

[24:34] The time is now the public's

[24:42] seeing no one come forward.

[24:44] I will close the public comment period.

[24:46] We'll move on to item six,

[24:48] a public carrying in motion on ordinance 2026-11.

[24:52] Inordinates of the Tual City Council,

[24:53] mending section seven, dash 14, dash 11,

[24:56] landscaping a water conservation with new development

[24:59] regarding the use of sod and residential landscaping,

[25:02] and the use of irrigation systems associated

[25:05] with residential landscaping.

[25:06] Presented by Andrew Agar, the Community Development Director.

[25:10] Thank you, Council.

[25:11] We went over the details of this ordinance

[25:14] in your work meeting earlier today,

[25:15] so I'll be brief in my presentation.

[25:18] We are presenting some ordinance amendments to clean up,

[25:21] and to make it easier to understand

[25:24] an ordinance regarding the residential landscaping.

[25:29] The areas highlighted in red on the screen

[25:31] are areas that we are desirous to change.

[25:33] We are wishing to remove the limitation on sod in areas 8 feet or less in width and then to remove the 250 square foot total landscaped area limitation and to reword the final sentence to make it more easy and clarifying understand these are the proposed amendments, which we discussed earlier.

[25:57] and then the ordinance as it is currently proposed with those edits.

[26:04] This item did go to the Planning Commission on April 22, 2026,

[26:09] and the Planning Commission did recommend in favor with some edits of their own,

[26:15] as illustrated here on this slide.

[26:18] The City Attorney did provide in your packet both two exhibits.

[26:22] What's one exhibit is the edits by staff?

[26:24] The other is the proposals by planning commission.

[26:28] And with that, do you have any questions?

[26:30] I'd be happy to try and answer before you.

[26:32] Do we need to clarify which one we're doing?

[26:37] Do you want to choose right now?

[26:38] Or do someone want to make a motion with which I choose before motion?

[26:42] So we know we're voting.

[26:46] I'm okay with the planning commission's proposal.

[26:49] I kind of like it.

[26:50] It has the date at the top.

[26:52] I think it's just easier to see.

[26:55] You agree with that?

[26:56] I meant that too.

[27:01] Oh, then what does this say about the sod?

[27:03] Was there more?

[27:04] I don't know all the changes, the minimal changes, I think.

[27:08] Yeah, so the changes proposed by the planning commission are just to move the effective date

[27:14] to the, the chapter, are they, the heading?

[27:17] Yeah.

[27:18] And then to eliminate the, the limitation on artificial turf, that was the only changes

[27:24] the planning commission recommended.

[27:28] I'm still okay with that, weren't we received more information tonight on why the 50% so is that still going to stay 50% then?

[27:42] No, it would be eliminated with this edit, with this proposal.

[27:46] Okay, so may we...

[27:48] Do you want the 50% is that?

[27:50] I felt like we got the reasoning why it was 50% tonight from you, so I like the date at the top of the foundation.

[27:59] Yeah.

[28:00] So staff's proposal would be to maintain the 50% limitation, but the planning commission recommended in favor of eliminating the 50%.

[28:11] I think after hearing your explanation as to why the 50% I'm for the date at the top to leave the staff recommendation for the 50%

[28:24] Does it because your your yard could be different sizes though right so if you have a small yard

[28:31] It has to be 50% of the total yard right it's the total square footage of the front and side yards correct

[28:39] That's the only reason I would hesitate to put a percentage, because then if someone has a small front yard and they're just doing all turf, I think it might be better if they just do that.

[28:51] I don't know.

[28:55] Any other discussion or thoughts on that?

[28:58] I think a lot of the newer subdivisions, they have a lot smaller front yards.

[29:03] like I can't even think of somewhere they're most of their front yard if they

[29:08] did alter if I don't think it would be I don't think it would cause the heat

[29:12] concern that we have it's just not a big enough area so how do you do that if

[29:17] you have a lot with bigger yeah front yards you know like some of them over

[29:22] that are being built down there with a bigger front yard they get all

[29:25] struck and then the concern is the heat and the drainage I don't know I don't know

[29:33] The recommendation rather than a rule on that part of it, I'm not gonna put a hundred percent salt in my yard

[29:43] So I like a little bit of salt to lay on, you know

[29:54] Okay, somehow we have to decide either on to vote on something so everyone's okay with the date

[30:00] At the top. Yeah. Um, the real discussion is, do we have a percentage of artificial turf or no percentage? And the planning commission wanted that part taken out, didn't they? Yeah, they wanted, they wanted no limitation.

[30:17] And I'm still okay with that. Yeah. I think I am to, I think it's hard when we put a percentage on certain things. I think it, it puts staff in a difficult position to determine what is 50% and

[30:30] So I don't know that I, you'll get no argument for me on that one.

[30:34] So, enforcement can be very interested when there's percentages involved.

[30:39] Okay.

[30:41] Mr. Chair, just a reminder that this is a public hearing.

[30:45] Okay.

[30:45] Thank you.

[30:45] Yes, I, before you make a motion.

[30:49] Any other discussion before we open it up to the public?

[30:56] Okay.

[30:57] Okay, as Shiloh stated, this is a public hearing, so we invite the public to address the council with the same rules that were stated during the public comment period.

[31:06] The time is now the public's.

[31:16] Kelly Anderson, I live here in Twillow.

[31:21] As a realtor, I look at property rights and anytime you start putting limitations on what a resident can do with their own property.

[31:30] I really think that it should be your goal to create an environment for the citizens where they can live their best life.

[31:41] However they see fit as long as it's not affecting other owners next door to them or whatever.

[31:47] So I think that the property, the 50% limitation should be wiped off.

[31:58] Okay. Thanks, Kevin. Just send the paper over by the

[32:02] driver. Okay. Restated there.

[32:06] Okay,

[32:12] seeing no one else come forward in the public

[32:15] caring time, we'll close the public caring and any other

[32:19] discussion from the council. It's not and I will entertain a

[32:23] motion. I'll make a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make a

[32:26] motion and we approve ordinance 2026-11 in order to

[32:30] of the Tourist City Council amending Section 7-1411,

[32:34] landscaping water conservation with new development

[32:37] regarding the use of sod and residential landscaping

[32:40] and the use of irrigation systems associated

[32:42] with the residential landscaping,

[32:45] using the planning commission's recommendation

[32:47] of moving the date to the top

[32:50] and eliminating the 50%

[32:55] of the limit, yeah, limitation for sod.

[32:58] I mean, for artificial, okay?

[33:01] I got it.

[33:02] Okay.

[33:05] I'll second.

[33:06] Okay.

[33:07] We have a motion from Councilman Hansen and a second from Councilwoman Goaches.

[33:10] We'll take you to a vote.

[33:11] Councilman McCall.

[33:13] All right.

[33:14] Councilman Hansen.

[33:15] All right.

[33:15] Councilwoman Goaches.

[33:16] All right.

[33:16] Councilman Gossett.

[33:17] All right.

[33:18] I'm Councilman Brady and I vote.

[33:19] I don't know.

[33:20] That passes 5-0.

[33:22] Item 7 is Resolution 2026-26.

[33:25] A resolution of the Twill City Council tentatively adopting the budget officer's tentative budget

[33:30] for Toilet City fiscal year 2026 through 2027, and establishing the time and place of a public hearing to consider its adoption, presented by Mayor Marisa Manzion.

[33:42] Thank you, Council.

[33:43] Just as Shannon stated in the RDA meeting, this is just the presentation of the tentative budget.

[33:49] This is new to you, you haven't really seen it, or had a chance to discuss it, but we will have that chance in the upcoming months, and it does establish a time for the hearing on the same June 17th.

[34:02] As well, so a public hearing.

[34:04] So I'm going to just read my budget officer's message to you.

[34:09] Dear residents of Tuala City, each year we take seriously our responsibility to develop a budget that reflects the needs, priorities, and values of our community.

[34:18] This tentative budget is designed to maintain the quality of life you expect while being mindful of the financial impact on you and your families.

[34:24] It balances ongoing needs, service needs, with long-term planning to ensure continued stability and responsible growth.

[34:31] This tentative budget is based on projected property tax revenue generated using the current fiscal year's values.

[34:37] Because of the final certified property valuation data will not be available until June 8th.

[34:43] Final determinations cannot yet be made, but we anticipate participating in the truth in taxation process this year.

[34:50] Based on current projections, any potential increase would be less than 5%.

[34:55] For a median valued home of $445,000, this would equate to approximately $2.26 a month.

[35:02] While we recognize the impact any tax increase has on our residents, we believe that when adjustments

[35:07] are necessary, small and incremental changes are more responsible and sustainable in larger

[35:11] one-time increases.

[35:13] We remain committed to transparency and will evaluate any final adjustments once valuation

[35:19] information data is certified.

[35:20] Our financial policies continue to emphasize fiscal discipline,

[35:24] careful evaluation of expenditures, maintaining service levels,

[35:27] and promoting economic development to broaden the tax base,

[35:30] and reduce the burden on residents.

[35:33] Like households across our city,

[35:36] dual city continues to face rising costs due to inflation,

[35:39] affecting fuel materials, equipment, and services.

[35:43] This budget reflects those realities while prioritizing

[35:46] efficiency and responsible spending.

[35:47] Public safety remains a top priority.

[35:50] The budget includes additional funding for our volunteer fire department to address increasing call volumes,

[35:55] allowing us to continue relying on this model and delay transitioning to a full-time department.

[36:00] We are also adding one SOAR and police officer to maintain service levels.

[36:05] To support community standards, the budget includes the addition of another ordinance compliance officer to help maintain clean safe and attractive neighborhoods as the city grows.

[36:13] This budget also prioritizes maintenance of critical infrastructure, including roads,

[36:19] public facilities and essential equipment, ensuring reliable service and avoiding more costly repairs in the future.

[36:26] Several major capital and community projects are included.

[36:29] These include necessary upgrades to the water reclamation facilities such as solar drying panels and

[36:34] other improvements to increase capacity and reliability.

[36:37] The city is also designing and constructing an all abilities bike park funded through park impact fees.

[36:42] a developer donation, grant funding, and capital funds.

[36:46] Additionally, we are designing a permanent stage at Tuala City Park to enhance community events such as the Fourth of July celebration and the summer concerts.

[36:54] Key changes in this year's budget reflect the city's continued growth and increased service demands.

[36:59] These include targeted additions in public safety staffing, the creation of an ordinance compliance position,

[37:05] increased investment in infrastructure, maintenance, and funding for critical capital improvements in community projects.

[37:11] rising costs due to inflation have also required adjustments across multiple operational levels.

[37:17] There are no major changes in overall financial policy for this budget period.

[37:21] The city continues to prioritize conservative budgeting practices, maintaining stable tax rates where possible.

[37:28] Investing in essential infrastructure and supporting economic development efforts.

[37:31] We remain focused on expanding the local business base to strengthen revenues and reduce reliance on residential property taxes over time.

[37:38] I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to our City Council and our dedicated staff who have worked diligently to develop this budget.

[37:46] Their continued efforts to find efficiencies, control costs, and ensure responsible use of public funds are critical to maintaining the high level of service our residents expect.

[37:55] To all of the cities is strong and growing community and this budget reflects our commitment

[38:00] to managing that growth thoughtfully and responsibly.

[38:03] At every level we are focused on efficiency, accountability, and long-term planning while

[38:08] being responsible sewers of your tax dollars.

[38:10] Thank you for your continued trust and engagement.

[38:14] And we have just a couple of slides that give talk a little bit about tax.

[38:19] Tax is super hard to understand even for people who are in government sometimes, but the property

[38:25] tax formula that setup does not count for inflation or any other factors.

[38:30] So cities collect the same amount of revenue each year that they received the prior year plus a little bit for new growth that was created in that year.

[38:38] So taxpayers might see a change in their taxes paid due to valuation of their home.

[38:44] Whether they've done improvements or there's been a re-evaluation by the county, and this increases offset by other taxpayers, it's not received by the city.

[38:51] We have a stable tax revenue, that's just how our state has set up taxes.

[38:59] So in this budget, we want to fund ongoing expenses like personnel, operation maintenance on the day-to-day operations.

[39:07] Personnel is of course our first priority as far as our operating budget.

[39:11] We want to take care of our people.

[39:13] We want to have good people working for the city, we don't want them to go work elsewhere.

[39:16] So this budget does include an increase in salaries and benefits for step increases and

[39:21] Medical Adjustment has three new positions, so the additional police officer, an administrative

[39:26] assessment for the fire department and a position IT department.

[39:29] It includes some stipends for a fire department to address their demands.

[39:34] They have, I think last year they had upwards of 650 calls.

[39:39] That's a lot for a volunteer fire department.

[39:42] And it increases some operating budgets mainly to increase costs like fuel and inflation.

[39:49] And then number two, we have our capital projects and equipment and we want to maintain

[39:54] in some ways, in some places, increase the service level of the city.

[40:00] We don't want to ever get in a position where we've let things go so long that it costs

[40:04] us more in the end to fix something than to just maintain it along the way, much like we

[40:08] do in our own homes.

[40:10] So it includes a variety of capital projects, lighting at the pools and things at the golf

[40:15] of course the library chiller, we all want to have air conditioning, we go to the library

[40:19] in the summer, some forensics tools for the police, lifts and some trucks and others in

[40:24] different departments, different departments.

[40:29] Do you have any burning questions right now?

[40:35] I don't.

[40:38] That was fast, though.

[40:40] That was fast?

[40:41] Yeah.

[40:41] I was talking slow.

[40:42] I thought.

[40:44] I think there's a lot of good projects that this will be utilized for, so I agree.

[40:53] It'll be good to talk about it as we continue on.

[40:57] So now that you have your budgets, take a look and as you have questions, please email

[41:03] them to Shannon and I and it's better if you have questions along the way and you can

[41:09] email them so that we can prepare when we have the public hearing because the budget is

[41:13] kind of large and so I don't know every line item.

[41:16] Shannon knows a lot more of the line items than I do, but it's hard, you know, it's easier

[41:19] If we can prepare, of course, if you haven't emailed them, we'll still answer them.

[41:23] But sometimes we might have to get back to it if we have to research them.

[41:26] And typically in our next work meeting, we'll have a budget discussion.

[41:30] That gives us two weeks to review it and try to email questions before.

[41:35] But okay, any other questions, comments, concerns?

[41:43] I do, but it's probably not what I will talk in our meeting about it.

[41:51] and it was about the lighting at the crack,

[41:54] the Quarantine Center.

[41:57] Grandma knows the Kepper Project

[41:58] and knows something that we need to fix.

[42:00] Yeah.

[42:00] We do.

[42:04] But it's been, it's a bad thing for me

[42:10] because with me, because I look at it,

[42:13] that the citizens of Tuala City

[42:15] are spending their money to fix that,

[42:17] which it is a city thing.

[42:19] But yet, we can't use that pool half the time because the school is in there.

[42:24] So to me, the school board should be paid for part of that.

[42:27] I know they give us a little bit of money, but it just irritates me.

[42:33] It just does, you know, that we have to put the bill.

[42:37] And yet, if I wanted to go over there and go swimming right now, I probably, well, right now I could.

[42:41] But during the day, when most people that are retired want to go to the swimming pool,

[42:45] they can't because the school kids are in there and now we've got four schools that use it

[42:49] which means it's even more time that we're not the citizens that are paying for it can't use it.

[42:55] I don't think that's fair. I just I just don't think it's fair. But that's my thing to bear.

[43:04] Okay. Okay. Sorry, Mr. Chair. No, that's perfectly fine. Yeah. It just robs me in the wrong way. Yeah.

[43:11] Okay. Any other discussion? I will entertain a motion.

[43:17] Mr. Chair, I make a motion to approve resolution 2026-26.

[43:25] I'll second.

[43:26] We have a motion from Councilman Hanson and the second from Councilman McCall.

[43:29] We'll take you to a vote.

[43:31] Councilman Gossett.

[43:32] Aye.

[43:32] Councilwoman Goaches.

[43:33] Aye.

[43:34] Councilman Hanson.

[43:35] Aye.

[43:35] Councilman McCall.

[43:37] Aye.

[43:37] I'm Councilman Brady and I vote aye.

[43:39] That passes 5-0.

[43:42] Item 8 is a statement.

[43:43] I'll just be reading this and then we'll go to item 9.

[43:45] So this is our statement of intent.

[43:48] The budget officer intends to state that the tentative budget includes a proposed property tax increase.

[43:54] And we'll move to item 9, which is the statement of budget officer that the tentative budget includes a proposed tax increase.

[44:01] This is presented by Mayor Marisa Manzio.

[44:03] Okay, this is a new requirement by state law.

[44:06] So it's just a statement, which I will read.

[44:08] The Tuala City Fiscal Year 2027 budget includes a proposed property tax that exceeds the estimated certified tax rate.

[44:17] This increase is expected to generate an additional $409,905 in property tax revenue,

[44:24] which is estimated to be a 4.48 tax increase.

[44:28] These additional funds will be used to fund the increase in the 2016 Judgement Levy Bond payment,

[44:33] as well as fund stipends and a new administrative assistant in our volunteer fire department.

[44:39] If dualist city proceeds with a proposed property tax increase,

[44:43] the city will provide notice and conduct a public hearing where residents will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed tax increase.

[44:50] The Truth in Taxation Public Hearing will be held on August 19th, 2026, at 7 p.m. at dualist city hall.

[45:00] Thank you.

[45:04] Then we'll move on to item 10. Is it presentation of property tax impact schedule? This is also presented by Mayor Marisa Manzião. This is also a new requirement by the state. And these all have to be separate items on the agenda. So we're just following the new state code. So this is our impact tax impact schedule. So it says it will consider an increase to the property tax rate from .002475.

[45:32] to 0.0025, I can't see that far, 2587, which exceeds the estimated certified tax rate and

[45:41] it's estimated to generate additional $409,905 in property tax revenue.

[45:47] The following information is intended to provide the City Council and the public with an

[45:51] explanation of how the city's operations would be affected if the proposed property tax increase is adopted.

[45:58] So you can see the current property tax rate, the property tax revenue, and the proposed revenue with the tax changes not including new growth.

[46:07] And then if you look at the, just the graph there has residential and commercial, the median sales price for

[46:16] the tourist city estimated tax rate, the proposed tax rate, and what the increase would be per year, which equates to about a 4.48% increase.

[46:27] And then the impact of the tax increase on the judgment levy, you can see the proposed budget is the long term debt is $1 million 75,537.

[46:37] The budget without the tax change is $765,632 and then there's the budget change.

[46:44] And then in the fire department, it would be the affected department to buy this increase and you can see the changes there.

[46:54] They're requesting, right now, they're a volunteer fire department, they're requesting to implement some stipends for volunteers.

[47:00] It's not necessarily a per-call basis, but it's kind of a rubric that includes a per-call stipend.

[47:06] So, and then they're at the assistant to the fire department.

[47:12] Anything we can do to prevent or keep volunteer fire fighters as long as possible, I think is a great thing for the city.

[47:19] They've saved us millions.

[47:20] They've saved us millions and millions of dollars.

[47:22] Yes. Yes. Any other questions or comments?

[47:29] We don't vote on anything, right? This is all new.

[47:33] You don't. And this impact statement you'll get familiar with because we do have to publish that,

[47:38] you know, anytime we have a public hearing, so we'll see that a couple more times just to be transparent

[47:43] with the public. Okay. Thank you. We will move on to item 11 is resolution 2026-27. A resolution of the

[47:53] The Twilis City Council declaring the intent of Twilis City to consider an increase in property tax revenue

[47:58] above the certified tax rate for fiscal year 2026 through 2027 pursuant to the requirements of Utah House Bill 236, 2026,

[48:09] publishing a property tax impact disclosure and establishing the time and place of a truth in taxation public hearing.

[48:16] This is presented by Shannon Wimmer, the finance director.

[48:19] Good evening, Council.

[48:21] So basically this resolution just ratifies in resolution form everything that the mayor just did.

[48:26] So this is just a document that we can use to prove to the state that we have followed these new requirements.

[48:32] This is just stating that we made the intent to make the statement that the mayor did make the statement that we provided to the public the property tax impact schedule that she just went over.

[48:41] And it is also again announcing that we will have a public hearing on this on August 19th at 7 p.m.

[48:48] So, this is just ratifying everything that just happened on the agenda.

[48:52] Thank you.

[48:53] Any questions for Shannon?

[48:56] I will entertain a motion.

[48:59] Mr. Chair, make a motion that we approve Resolution 2026-27, a Resolution of 12 City Council

[49:06] declaring the intent of 12 City to consider an increase in property tax revenue above the

[49:12] a certified tax rate for fiscal year 2026-27,

[49:16] pursuant to the requirements of Utah House bill 236-2026.

[49:24] Publishing a property tax impact disclosure

[49:27] and eliminate establishing a time and place

[49:32] of a truth in taxation public hearing.

[49:35] Seconded.

[49:35] We have a motion from Councilman McCollum

[49:37] and a second from Councilman Gossett.

[49:39] We'll take a do vote.

[49:40] Councilman McCollum.

[49:41] Aye.

[49:42] Councilman Hanson.

[49:43] Councilwoman Goaches.

[49:45] Aye.

[49:45] Councilman Gossett.

[49:46] Aye.

[49:46] Councilman Brady and I vote aye.

[49:49] That passes 5-0.

[49:50] Item 12 is ordinance 2026-10,

[49:54] in ordinance of duality enacting

[49:55] duality code chapter 9-8,

[49:58] regarding enforcement of false alarms

[50:00] for business and residential security systems

[50:02] and establishing a fee for administrative appeals

[50:06] under duality code chapter 9-8,

[50:08] presented by Adrian Day, the police chief.

[50:11] Thank you, Council.

[50:12] We were able to discuss this at a previous work meeting.

[50:19] And we've placed it in the services title in Title IX.

[50:25] It's a new chapter.

[50:26] I didn't know where else to place this.

[50:30] We usually deal with Title VI and control or 10 traffic or the criminal code.

[50:36] but I think it's important to point out this isn't an audible alarm that can be called in

[50:43] from a neighbor that's being disruptive. This is one that's routed to dispatch

[50:49] getting the response of officers and it excludes a panic alarm in the definition or false alarm.

[51:00] I think we don't have a big problem with that, and I don't want that being an issue when somebody needs a police response immediately.

[51:14] The fourth alarm, we are required to give a warning notice.

[51:19] I have not created this form yet, and I have instructed the police department to bring any concerns of many alarms to my office so we can vet them through their first.

[51:30] I plan on taking a warning to two businesses that hit 47 and 32 times last year just to make them aware not as an official notice.

[51:41] I just want them, the purpose is this, this is to promote fixing their alarm.

[51:48] So it's good for everyone.

[51:53] I don't, the fifth false alarm in a 365 day period you can be served with a civil citation which will come through my office at the beginning, and we'll see how this goes because it's very new to us.

[52:10] And this can be appealed through the recorders office, any others, and I can take any questions if you have any.

[52:19] Any questions or comments?

[52:25] Thanks, Chief.

[52:27] Thank you.

[52:27] We'll entertain a motion.

[52:29] Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion to approve ordinance 2026-10 and ordinance of Twillis City

[52:34] enacting Twillis City Code Chapter 9-8 regarding enforcement of false alarms for businesses

[52:41] and residential security systems and establishing a fee for administrative appeals under Twillis

[52:47] City Code Chapter 9-8.

[52:50] Okay, I heard John first. I'm going to go have a motion from Councilwoman Goaches and

[52:57] a second from Councilman Gossett. We'll take you to a vote. Councilman Gossett.

[53:01] Aye. Councilwoman Goaches. Aye. Councilman Hanson. Aye. Councilman McCall. Aye.

[53:19] The administrative services related to the Twillow Rogers Road Well site and Salt Shed construction, and this is presented by Shannon Wimmer, the finance director.

[53:27] Thank you, Council.

[53:29] As you're aware, we've already approved the contract to build the new Salt Shed, and so this contract is to provide those administrative services to be able to start and construct that project.

[53:41] So I'm happy to answer any questions if you have any, but I may have to go call Nathan if you do.

[53:47] Okay, I'll entertain a motion if there's no questions.

[53:53] I'll make a motion that we approve resolution 2026-24 resolution of the Twilla City Council

[53:59] approving a professional services agreement with JUB engineers for administration services

[54:05] related to the Twilla Rogers road while site and the Salt Shed construction.

[54:10] We have a motion from Councilman Gossett and a second from Councilwoman Goaches.

[54:15] We'll take you to a vote.

[54:16] Councilman McCall.

[54:17] Aye.

[54:17] Councilman Hanson.

[54:29] A resolution of the Toll City Council authorizing the Toll City Purchasing Agent to dispose of surplus

[54:34] personal property from the fire department, presented by Shiloh Baker, the City Recorder.

[54:40] Good evening, Council.

[54:42] Thank you.

[54:42] The fire department currently has a 1996 KME 102 aerial cat fire truck that no longer

[54:51] meets the operational needs of the department.

[54:53] It was originally donated to the city several years ago and at this time it is not actively

[54:58] being used in fire service and it is not fully equipped to do so.

[55:03] As the council has previously approved the fire department has ordered a new fire truck

[55:08] And that's why the department has chosen to not continue spending money to equip this truck and just wait for the new truck to arrive.

[55:19] In accordance with city policy we are requesting that the council declare this vehicle is surplus property and upon approval we will dispose of the truck through sale donation recycling or other appropriate means our plan is to first offer the truck to eligible entities within the county.

[55:38] with a minimum offer of $15,000.

[55:40] This is the amount reflects,

[55:42] this amount reflects the approximate investment

[55:44] that the city has made in maintaining the trucks

[55:47] since it was received.

[55:49] Happy to answer any questions.

[55:51] Any questions or comments?

[55:55] I'll let her take a motion.
