Item Work 1 · Roads and utilities
Snow Creek crossing feasibility: tunnel or bridge over SR 248
Discussed
Staff narrowed options to a tunnel (about $13.5 million) or a bridge (about $12.4 million); a tunnel under SR 248 alone was about $9.3 million. Gerber, Doilney, Dickey and Toly favored a tunnel, with Dickey wanting all three tunnels bid together and Doilney suggesting a guaranteed maximum price contract. Rubell asked for the SR 248-only tunnel and favored intersection safety improvements. No formal direction or vote; members agreed at-grade safety measures would be favorable. Funding in the tentative budget included $4.57 million in walkability bonds, $522,000 in transit sales tax, $4.6 million from the transportation fund, a $225,000 county grant and $3.5 million from UDOT not yet approved.

Item Work 2 · Budget
FY2022-23 city manager's recommended budget presentation
Discussed
Staff cited a $5 million general fund revenue increase and a peak-traffic package including a traffic coordination manager ($144,000), two peak traffic positions ($204,000), a parking officer ($127,000) and a traffic officer and vehicle ($226,000). Gerber said the city spends $1 million on resort-related congestion and asked that resorts share more cost; Doilney called the traffic plan a good start but insufficient long term; Rubell asked about budget scoring criteria and the pay plan. Final adoption is set for June 23.
- Budget$5.00 million

Item V.1 · Budget
Ordinance 2022-12: tentative revised FY2022 and tentative FY2023 budget
Approved · 5-0
Council adopted the tentative budget and no-tax-increase rate and set final budget hearings for June 23. Staff said unfunded projects include the Arts and Culture District, the long-range transportation plan, moving a Rocky Mountain Power substation, soils remediation, and housing and recreation expansion, and that a majority of council did not favor a property tax increase. Rubell suggested a holistic look at the Bonanza district under the name Bonanza Park Neighborhood. No one spoke at the hearing.
Item V.2 · Subdivision
Ordinance 2022-13: 45 Daly Avenue subdivision
Approved · 5-0
Combines a lot with part of another lot to allow one single-family home. The Planning Commission approved unanimously. Rubell raised that the remainder lot is noncomplying, which the planner confirmed.
Item V.3 · Development
Mine Bench work plan for workforce housing
Discussed
Staff described about 10 developable acres with soil, slope, access and utility challenges and proposed using the lower area, with workforce housing at 40 to 80 percent of area median income and an RFP requiring a lease to build and operate. Gerber and Doilney wanted few RFP restrictions, with Doilney favoring 100 percent workforce housing; Toly wanted an affordability component; Dickey was hesitant about housing just for businesses and wanted a site visit; Rubell asked for a longer RFP timeline and favored rentals. No vote.
