Staff said water charges are projected at $20.39 million for FY23 with debt service rising from $6.55 million to $9.31 million and coverage falling from 1.8 to 1.2; the 3Kings Water Treatment Plant is on schedule. Flagstaff transfer fees average about $600,000 a year and total $6.42 million since 2003. FY22 adjustments cited grants including $715,000 and $500,000 from Summit County RAP funds, $2.39 million from the FTA for three battery-electric buses and a van, and capped the Snow Creek tunnel at $13 million. On the former Old Peace House at 516 Marsac Avenue, bought in 2017 with transit funds, members favored employee or transitional housing and agreed a partner is needed for renovation costs; Toly said she was not comfortable raising the employee parking pass fee to $500. No votes.

Item VI.10 · City code
Ordinance 2022-21: fractional ownership single-family dwelling definition

The ordinance defines fractional ownership, limits it to zones allowing timeshares and private residence clubs, and requires a business license per unit. The Planning Commission approved it May 11; the 180-day deadline is November 7. Pacaso representatives and owners argued it targets one company and asked for time; other speakers favored regulation. Gerber supported approving now; Dickey, Toly and Rubell wanted more work on enforcement, HOA authority and consistency with nightly-rental rules; Doilney suggested property managers contribute 1% of sales to affordable housing. Doilney moved to continue to October 6 with staff work and a CAST meeting in August.
Item VI.11 · Public safety
Ordinance 2022-22: fireworks and ignition sources
