MOAB CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -- DRAFT
SPECIAL MEETING
APRIL 4, 2017
Special Workshop Meeting & Attendance: The Moab City Council held a Special Meeting on the above
date in the Council Chambers at the Moab City Center, located at 217 East Center Street, Moab, Utah. A
recording of the meeting is archived at http://www.utah.gov/pmn/index.html.
Meeting Called to Order: The meeting was called to order at 5:38 PM. In attendance were Mayor David
Sakrison, Councilmembers Heila Ershadi, Tawny Knuteson-Boyd, Kyle Bailey and Kalen Jones. Also in
attendance were City Manager David Everitt, City Recorder/Assistant City Manager Rachel Stenta, Public
Works Director Pat Dean, Safety Officer Don Hunt, and Parks, Recreation, and Trails Director Tif Miller.
One member of the public attended.
The Workshop began with City Manager Everitt presenting an overview of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018
budget process, and outlined the general categories of expenditure priorities. Councilmember Bailey
asked about renewal of the contract for sanitation services and City Recorder/Assistant City Manager
Stenta replied it would up for renewal in November. Everitt added there would be a Request for
Proposals (RFP) advertising for sanitation services. Stenta clarified the existing contract was extended
with Council approvals three times since 2000.
Everitt continued by describing discrete funds used for clarifying certain revenue and expenditure
streams. He then explained the methodology for projecting revenues. Based on recent trends, he stated
he worked with Stenta to estimate a 7.9% increase in revenues over 2017, for a projected amount of
$8,732,179. Councilmember Ershadi made note of the lack of increase in the franchise tax and Everitt
concurred that it was budgeted at the same level as the current year due to the unpredictability and lack
of great fluctuation of that revenue stream. He also described a conservative approach to predicting the
energy tax revenues. He added the Resort Community tax is estimated at a nine percent increase, and
there is expected to be added revenues from fees such as plan reviews and building permits. He
explained some monies would be pulled from the fund balance, while ensuring the fund balance will
continue to reflect 15% of the total budgeted revenue. Also, some rollover from FY2017 would carry
over to 2018.
In the general fund, Everitt stated that expenditures give emphasis to salary increases established with
mid -year changes; departmental requests for increases in supplies, equipment, and staffing (particularly
in the Enterprise fund and Public Works); and that recreation increases are big and that recreation
related services have been consolidated and moved to the 23 (Special Revenue) fund which should
create a more accurate picture of the total recreation services provided by Moab City for the entire
County. Mayor Sakrison asked if the City had enough people to get the job done staffing needs and
Everitt stated that no the City doesn't and that this budget includes some staffing increases but can't
accommodate all of the staffing increases needed at one time. Everitt then explained that the proposed
staffing increases — especially those in the Enterprise (Water and Sewer) fund would take place over the
next three to four years and would likely require some fee increases or other revenue sources. Everitt
then gave a brief overview of the capital projects fund (41) emphasizing infrastructure projects.
Everitt briefly outlined concerns associated with relying on sales tax, which may fluctuate, rather than
April 4, 2017

property tax, service fees, or use fees. He also touched on a concern about overlap, informalities, and
inconsistencies regarding services provided by the City and the County. He gave an example of the
County -provided dispatch service fee, which may see an increase.
Councilmember Bailey asked for graphs showing percentage of expenditures by type, for the City in
general and departments in particular.
Mayor Sakrison raised a concern about the level to which the City has reached capacity with regard to its
ability to bond for projects. He mentioned the potential for a future need for a property tax, or a use fee
for roads, as an example. He mentioned a variety of possible fees, including a road use fee, and a
potential Recreation, Arts, and Parks (RAP) tax. He mentioned that subsidizing recreation services for a
million dollars a year is not sustainable.
Councilmember Jones asked for more detail regarding discretionary spending. Discussion ensued about
the preference for narrative descriptions of budgetary needs.
Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd asked about the prospect of a property tax and if it would be in addition
to a County Property Tax. City Manager Everitt stated that it would be additional as County property
taxes pay for County provided services. Councilmember Bailey inquired if the City could adopt a
property tax by using a mill levy or a Resolution or would have to go to a vote. City Recorder/Assistant
City Manager Stenta explained the City has the ability to levy a property tax, but would need both a legal
opinion and the State Tax Commission's opinion with regard to the process to implement the tax and
that Truth in Taxation hearings would need to be held. There was discussion about a general obligation
bond combined with Community Impact Fund Board (CIB) grants for major projects, such as for streets.
Councilmember Jones pointed out Moab is one of two municipalities in Utah without a property tax.
Councilmember Ershadi asked about the unfunded personnel liabilities that are mentioned in the Audit.
The unfunded liabilities regard unused vacation and sick leave as well as the City's share of the Utah
Retirement Systems liability. Stenta stated that it could be a multi -year process to address the liabilities
and Ershadi agreed that approach would be appropriate.
The discussion turned to water. Everitt explained that water operations are generally subsidized by the
surplus in sewer operations. The culinary water fund for operations exceeds revenues by about
$700,000. He discussed possible funding sources, including raising rates or subsidizing it from the
general fund. Councilmember Bailey stated there was discussion some time ago to raise rates
incrementally. City Recorder/ Assistant City Manager Stenta commented that in prior budgets,
infrastructure improvements were not funded by the existing rate structure. Discussion ensued
regarding raising base rates, commercial rates, actual use, and water conservation. Stenta remarked
that water expenditures have fallen below revenues for an average of over $400,000 per year over five
years. Councilmember Ershadi brought up the desire to be presented with scenarios for rate increases
and being mindful of local residents on fixed incomes and their ability to pay increased rates.
The next topic involved the need to increase sewer rates in order to pay for the new Water Reclamation
Facility. Everitt explained rates will go into effect in July. He commented that commercial rates are not
yet equitable. Mayor Sakrison asked about septage impacts on sewer revenues. Everitt stated Bowen

Collins is working on the commercial rate study.
Sewer Rate Schedule Changes - Approved

changes in the City of Moab Sewer Rate Schedule. Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd seconded the
motion. The motion passed 4-0 with Councilmembers Bailey, Jones, Knuteson-Boyd, and Ershadi voting
aye.
Mayor Sakrison introduced Doug MacDonald, who is a financial consultant for the Utah League of Cities
and Towns. MacDonald stated he is able to provide a ten-year financial strategic plan for the City.
Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 6:38 PM.

REGULAR MEETING
APRIL 11, 2017
Regular Meeting & Attendance: The Moab City Council held its Regular Meeting on the above date in
the Council Chambers at the Moab City Center, located at 217 East Center Street, Moab, Utah. A
recording of the meeting is archived at http://www.utah.gov/pmn/index.html.
Pre -Council Workshop: Mayor David Sakrison called the Workshop to order at 5:00 PM. In attendance
were Councilmembers Rani Derasary, Heila Ershadi, Tawny Knuteson-Boyd, Kyle Bailey and Kalen Jones.

Stenta, City Attorney Chris McAnany, Public Works Director Pat Dean, City Treasurer Jennie Ross,

Also in attendance were Planning Commission members Wayne Hoskisson, Jeanette Kopell, Allison
Brown, and Laura Uhle.
The Workshop consisted of an overview of city planning and land use regulation topics with Wilf
Summerkorn, Director of Regional Planning and Transportation for Salt Lake County. He discussed the
Land Use Development and Management Act (LUDMA). He outlined the planning functions of
municipalities and other local governments, including the roles of each jurisdiction's governing body,
planning commission, land use authority, and appeal authority. He continued with a description of the
three roles involved with the planning process: legislative, administrative, and quasi-judicial. Mayor
Sakrison asked about Conditional Use Permits (CUPs) and Summerkorn described how the state code
was revised regarding CUPs, in favor of entitling developers if they substantially mitigate impacts.
Summerkorn fielded questions from planning commission members about CUPs and he recommended
removing CUPs from the planning ordinance, and encouraged a well -developed general plan and
specificity of code.
Summerkorn then moved to a discussion of the General Plan. He outlined required elements, including
land use, transportation, and moderate -income housing. He also outlined optional elements of the plan,
including environmental, public services and facilities, community rehabilitation and redevelopment,
and more. Discussion ensued about the process of revising and amending the general plan. He indicated
there are some good examples of plans he can recommend as models. He discussed the pitfalls of
identifying specific properties and their prospective uses in a general plan rather than areas or
neighborhoods as having preferred uses.
After the presentation, City Manager Everitt updated the Council on the ongoing hiring search for Police
Chief.
Mayor Sakrison stated that he and City Recorder/Assistant City Manager Stenta had attended the bond
closing that morning in Richfield, Utah for the Wastewater Reclamation Facility, for a total amount of
$14.2 million and with an expected completion date of October, 2018.

UTV Speed Limit — Discussion
Community Services Director Amy Weiser and Interim Police Chief Steve Ross presented an overview of
work they had completed regarding a Proposed Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) Speed Limit Ordinance. Weiser
stated that staff took an informal sound survey, testing sound levels of a UTV at various speeds. She
pointed out that the main difference in decibel levels occurred between 20 and 25 miles per hour
(MPH). She also noted that the difference in sound levels between 15 and 20 MPH was negligible. Sound
levels allowed by code were discussed.
Weiser went on to recommend outreach, education, informational kiosks, and signage aimed at
reducing UTV noise. It was pointed out that no particular vehicle type may be singled out with regard to
speed limits. Weiser noted that a cost estimate for a formal study by an acoustical engineer was
approximately $10,000. Mayor Sakrison commented that there was a lack of enforcement on speed and

noise. City Attorney McAnany stated that code exists for noise levels yet is inefficient for law
enforcement officers to enforce due to the time required to use noise -measuring equipment.
Councilmember Ershadi asked about progress regarding traffic calming structures aimed at slowing
vehicles. Councilmember Bailey commented on communities that realize sound reduction by utilizing
vegetation. Councilmember Derasary mentioned lowering speed limits. City Manager Everitt stated the
Council has the latitude to lower speed limits and noted evidence to suggest that lower speed limits are
safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists. City Attorney McAnany concurred that the Council has
the authority to change speed limits. Councilmember Jones confirmed his interest in lowering speed
limits. Councilmember Ershadi asked if staff was available to gauge the effectiveness of such a program.
Weiser commented that it is difficult to measure sound informally.
The discussion shifted to the radar speed signs. Councilmember Jones asked about placement on certain
streets. Councilmember Bailey complimented the police department's Facebook page. Councilmember
Ershadi asked how traffic calming will fit with other infrastructure improvements. City Manager Everitt
stated these improvements may be incorporated into other street projects.
Sidewalk Repair and Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Program — Discussion
Engineer Mark Jolissaint presented the City's sidewalk repair program and gave an overview of priorities
for curb ramp improvements requisite for compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA).
Fifty thousand dollars per year were estimated to be the budget need to address priorities. City
Manager Everitt asked if the sidewalk repair work would be bid out and the answer was yes.
Councilmember Jones asked about areas that lack sidewalks. Jolissaint responded that ADA requires
equal access, so lack of a sidewalk is less of any issues than areas with sub -par sidewalks. City Manager
Everitt noted that repairing and upgrading sidewalks is advantageous for an age -friendly community.
Councilmember Derasary asked if priority was given to public facilities.
Budget Discussion
City Manager Everitt presented an overview of the proposed budget and the budget process. He
included discussion of the addition of a civil code enforcement position. The position would be part of
the planning department team, reporting to the City Planner.
Also discussed was funding for Recreation. Everitt mentioned the budget outlook calls for status quo
staffing and services. He also mentioned realignment of some positions within the City organization.
Everitt also outlined alternative funding sources for the City, such as bonding using the general fund,
enterprise fund increases, and implementing a property tax, service fees, or a transportation fee. He
also pointed out that an alternative is to cut back on City operating expenses. He noted enterprise funds
include sewer, culinary water, and stormwater funds, and are generally used for operations and large
capital projects.
Interlocal Agreement with Grand County for Joint Funding of a Nexus Study — Discussion
City Manager Everitt stated that the Nexus Study for an Affordable Housing initiative was proposed to
cost $80,000. Mayor Sakrison suggested a 60/20 split in expenses with the County. Councilmember
Knuteson-Boyd stated she felt the fee was too high. Councilmember Ershadi requested to examine the
Request for Proposals (RFP). Councilmember Jones stated he was comfortable with the 50/50 split in
April 11, 2017

Title: Public Hearing to Solicit Public Input of Proposed Ordinance #2017-16 - An
Ordinance Amending the City of Moab Municipal Code, Sections 13.25.060 B and 13.25.060
C, to modify the Sewer Impact Fee,
Fiscal Impact: The proposed ordinance will increase the Sewer Impact Fee for the City of
Moab adopted in November 2016, and will also increase the Sewer Impact Fee for outside
agencies. The exact effect on the total amount of Sewer Impact Fees collected per year is
not known.
Staff Presenter: David Everitt, City Manager
Department: n/a
Consultant: Bowen Collins and Associates, Inc.
Background/Summary: City staff has worked closely the City's engineering consultant,
Bowen Collins and Associates, Inc., (BCA), to create a Sewer Impact Fee Facilities Plan and a
Sewer Impact Fee analysis. The completion of these two studies is necessary per the Utah
Impact Fees Act to establish and collect a Sewer Impact Fee from new development within
the City and within any other service agencies served by the City's sewer collection system
and wastewater treatment plant. The Sewer Impact Fee Analysis has determined a
Recommended Impact Fee amount that is different than the amount currently established
in the Moab Municipal Code, Section 13.25, and this proposed ordinance will modify the
Code to collect the recommended impact fee.
The Sewer Impact Fee Facilities Plan (IFFP) and the Sewer Impact Fee Analysis (IFA) were
prepared in strict conformance with the Utah Impact Fees Act. The original IFFP and IFA
were presented and discussed with the City Council at a workshop in May 2016, and
Ordinance 2016-08 was approved by the City Council on November 8, 2016.
Based on the increased construction cost of the new wastewater treatment plant, an
