Dog license code amendment, Section 6.04.180 (Ordinance 2026-29)

Item 7 · Other
Appeal process policy for fee assessment waivers and rebates (Policy 2026-4)
Approved · 5-0
Andrea Steiniger said appeals received since the fee was adopted showed the policy needed clarifying and the fee process separated out, under the same rules.
Item 8 · Contract
RFP for a financial analyst pool
Discussed
Steiniger said the pool, like the existing acquisition agent pool, would cover bonding, utility rate structures and impact studies. Council gave direction in support of an RFP.
Item 9 · Roads and utilities
Skyline Drive Phase 1 funding exchange with the Wasatch Front Regional Council and UDOT (500 West to 1100 West)
Approved · 5-0
Steiniger said the city has federal funding for all of Skyline Drive, but the realignment and environmental assessment must be redone, so it will phase the work and trade federal funds for local funds on this phase. The city comes away with less money but expects to come out ahead through lower federal-work and engineering costs. Construction must begin within three years, with funding in the 2029 budget year.
Item 10 · Other
Disposal of city property at 2739 N Parkland Blvd
Discussed
Mayor Gibson said the parcel was bought for $300,000 with regional funds, which would have to be returned if it is sold. Councilmember Marriott asked whether the city needs it for access. Direction was given to update the appraisal and set a public hearing.
Item 11 · Appointment
Planner job title change
Approved · 5-0
The city has not been able to hire a planner. The council voted 5-0 to retitle Planner I/II as Principal Planner, adjust the salary and post the job.
Item 13 · Other
Closed meeting on property acquisition

The council voted 5-0 to close the meeting under Utah Code 52-4-205(1); minutes of the closed meeting are filed separately.
