Item LBA · Budget
Local Building Authority organization and lease revenue bond parameters resolutions, City Hall and Hogan Park project
Approved · 6-0
Attorney Brandon Johnson said the authority was created Sept. 15 and walked the board through electing officers (Ryan Westergard president, Annette Hanson secretary/treasurer), adopting bylaws and ratifying prior actions. Financial advisor Mark Anderson of Zions Bank recommended parameters resolutions because of bond-market volatility: a maximum of $33,000,000, 31 years and 6.50 percent interest, without obligating the city to borrow that much. A public hearing is set for Nov. 3.
Item Title 6 · City code
Ordinance amending Title 6, Business Regulations (public hearing)
Approved · 6-0
Community Development Director Curtis Poole said the business licensing, fees, revocation, beer license and sexually oriented business rules were outdated and the liquor language now defers to state law. The council kept a January 31 renewal grace period and moved license expiration to March 1. No one spoke at the hearing.

The Parks Manager recommended $29,049.56 for three citywide fertilizer applications and $2,102.20 for seed, $31,151.76 plus shipping, lower than last year because Hogan Park acreage is excluded for construction. The consent agenda passed except the Bamberger Bridge options letter to UDOT and the employee manual, which were tabled.
