Memo To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Moab City Council
From: Planning Staff
Subject: Approval of Resolution No. 15-2009, Repealing Section 5, Housing,
Article II and Replacing the Existing Language with Specific Elements of
the Housing Study/Affordable Housing Plan and Adopting the Complete
“Plan” by Reference
Background
At the direction of the Planning Commission on July 23, 2009, staff developed the attached
resolution that, if adopted, recommends that Council amend the General Plan with the Housing
Study/Affordable Housing Plan. The amendment repeals Article II, Affordable Housing, and will
adopt the Five Year Action Plan, the goals, and the objectives of the Affordable Housing Plan. In
addition, the Housing Study and the other components of the Affordable Housing Plan will be
adopted by reference.
The action of repealing the existing language will reduce concerns about contradicting
statements that may exist between the General Plan and the Affordable Housing Plan.
On September 10, 2009, the Commission held the public hearing for this proposed change to
the General Plan. A subsequent vote on September 24, 2009, adopted Planning Resolution No.
10-2009 (attached), and unanimously recommended to Council an approval of the format that is
represented in the attached Resolution.
Discussion
The Housing Study/Affordable Housing Plan (Study/Plan) contains several elements that are
crucial in understanding the magnitude of the housing problem in Moab City and Grand County.
The first is the brief but detailed history of the events leading up to the creation of the plan. This
history outlines the efforts of the City of Moab (city), Grand County (county), the Housing
Authority of Southeastern Utah (HASU), and Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC)
to recognize the issues, collect data, define the extent of the problem, form a working group,
and create a five-year action plan.
The Plan includes a comprehensive glossary to provide clarity and understanding of terms
used throughout the document, especially those used in the development and funding of
housing projects.
The housing overview uses information about local demographics, employment, population and
housing types and costs for Grand County to show the trends of our population.

October 8, 2009
The Needs Analysis is a critical portion of the Plan and justifies the effort that the city will need
to make to meet the goal “To provide or make available affordable housing for all Moab residents.”
This assessment uses income, market demand, condition of the available housing inventory,
rental and ownership housing needs/deficit and current housing availability and trends.
Barriers and impediments to affordable housing are briefly discussed in general terms and it will
be up to the appointed and elected boards of the city to determine exactly what will be included
in this item. This identification will prompt what is expected to be a series of development code
amendments to allow affordable housing development.
The recommendations made by RCAC are included as a springboard for a more in-depth review
and discussion about a commitment to the implementation of the plan from the legislative
bodies, improved land use, increasing available housing resources, developing new housing,
and maintaining existing affordable housing.
The primary goal of the Plan is,
“To provide or make available affordable housing for all Moab residents.”
The goals and objectives and the 5-year Plan are proposed to be excerpted from the Housing
Plan and inserted into the repealed Section II, Affordable Housing, of the general Plan.
The 5‐Year goals include:
1. To achieve and protect secure, affordable, decent housing opportunities for Moab/Grand County
residents.
2. To achieve adequate owned and rental housing opportunities to allow the community to recruit and
retain a workforce with the skills and credentials needed by community
employers.
3. To achieve creation and retention of housing stock affordable to very low, low, moderate, and
moderate to 120 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) households.
4. To assess on a continuing basis the gaps among housing stock, housing needs, and what households
can afford in order to revise the objectives of the Affordable Housing Plan.
5. To establish and participate in programs and efforts to reduce household operating,
rehabilitation and construction costs across the economic spectrum.
The 5‐year objectives include:
1. Through public and private partnerships, provide 8 units of transitional housing for
Moab’s homeless, within the next five years, of the total 16 needed within the next 10
years.
2. Through public and private partnerships, provide 55 units of new or rehabilitated rental housing
affordable to very low income households, within the next five years, of the total 139 currently needed.
3. Through public and private partnerships, provide 22 units of new or rehabilitated housing affordable
to low income households; 10 for purchase and 12 for rental, within the next five years, of the total 55
currently needed.
4. Through public and private partnerships, provide 124 units of new or rehabilitated
housing affordable to moderate income households; 114 for purchase and 10 for rental,

within the next five years, of the total 313 units currently needed.
5. Promote and establish energy efficiency and other programs, policies and regulations to lower the
cost of constructing, rehabilitating and maintaining homes affordable to all
households earning 120 percent of AMI or less.
6. Analyze the housing needs of moderate to 120 percent income households and develop an objective
to address the needs of this income group.
7. Coordinate with and involve multiple community and outside agencies in developing
affordable housing solutions.
The 5-Year Action Plan, provides the possible tools for the generation of housing. It contains a
wide variety of potential funding mechanisms, as well as possible public/private partnerships
and a lead agency that would be responsible for completing the indicated action. It is not
anticipated that all of the tools will be used but they are presented as a menu from which
specific actions may be chosen. This will lead to a tailored set of processes that will be best for
our community.
Process
The process for General Plan amendments is found in Utah Code 10-9a-204, Notice of public
hearings and public meetings to consider general plan or modifications.
The city must provide:
(a) notice of the date, time, and place of the first public hearing to consider any modification
of all or any portion of the general plan; and

plan that addresses the current need for affordable housing, as well as needs looking at least five years into the
future; and,
WHEREAS, given the changes in the community since the City of Moab and Grand County first adopted their plans,
engaging in a process to adopt a new, community‐wide plan has become even more important; and,
WHEREAS, in 2006, Grand County, the City of Moab and the Housing Authority of Southeastern Utah decided that
they would work together to create a housing study and communitywide affordable housing plan that would
address the unique and challenging housing needs of the community; and,

Housing Authority, was created to study the issue and establish a Five Year Plan as well as goals and objectives;
and,
WHEREAS, Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) was retained as consultant to coordinate and
facilitate a series of public workshops with community employers, government officials, housing user groups,
contractors, representatives from financial institutions, and interested community members in an effort to gather
anecdotal information regarding the housing problem in the community and gauge the community’s perceptions
regarding appropriate solutions; and,
WHEREAS, through these efforts and analysis performed by the Interlocal Housing Task Force, the Interlocal
Housing Task Force and RCAC were able to produce an Affordable Housing Needs Assessment in February, 2008.
WHEREAS, On November 12, 2008, the Interlocal Housing Task Force held two public workshops at which the
draft report and plan were reported to the public and received public input; and,
WHEREAS, the Task Force reviewed and revised the plan based on the public input and other considerations; and,

advertised public hearing on September 10, 2009, to accept public input for or against the proposed amendment;
and,
WHEREAS, on September 24, 2009, the City Planning Commission determined that the amendment was in the
best interests of the citizens of the City and the larger community of Grand County and adopted Planning
Resolution No. 10‐2009 that recommends that the Moab City Council (Council) approve the amendment to the
General Plan; and,
WHEREAS, Council reviewed the accumulated public comment and staff recommendations in a public meeting
held on October 13, 2009, to evaluate the merits of the change to the General Plan; and,
WHEREAS, Council understands the value to the community of attainable, affordable housing for all income levels,
and with the adoption of Council Resolution 15‐2009 has chosen to amend the City of Moab General Plan by the
incorporation of the Housing Plan into Section 5, Housing.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Moab City Council that the Moab General Plan, Section 5, Housing, is
hereby repealed and is amended with the following language to read:

RESOLUTION #10‐2009
A Recommendation to Council for Amending the City of Moab General
Plan by the Adoption of the Housing Study and Affordable Housing Plan
WHEREAS, the economic health of Moab and Grand County and the economic well‐being of its citizens are directly
linked and the affordability of housing directly affects every other aspect of household economics as well as the
economics of the community as a whole; and,
WHEREAS, housing prices have increased at a faster rate than wages, decreasing the relative
affordability of the housing market; and,
WHEREAS, employee‐recruitment and employee‐retention efforts are challenged by high housing costs; and,
WHEREAS, low and median income workers find themselves priced out of single family homes, and many are
unable to find lower priced rental units in good condition; and,
WHEREAS, in 1996, the Utah legislature passed a law that requires all communities to adopt an affordable housing
plan that addresses the current need for affordable housing, as well as
needs looking at least five years into the future; and,
WHEREAS, given the changes in the community since the City of Moab and Grand County first adopted their plans,
engaging in a process to adopt a new, community‐wide plan has become even more important; and,
WHEREAS, in 2006, Grand County, the City of Moab and the Housing Authority of Southeastern Utah decided that
they would work together to create a housing study and communitywide affordable housing plan that would
address the unique and challenging housing needs of the community; and,
WHEREAS, an Interlocal Housing Task Force, composed of representatives from the City, the County and the
Housing Authority, was created to study the issue and establish a Five Year Plan as well as goals and objectives;
and,
WHEREAS, Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) was retained as consultant to coordinate and
facilitate a series of public workshops with community employers, government officials, housing user groups,
contractors, representatives from financial institutions, and interested community members in an effort to gather
anecdotal information regarding the housing problem in the community and gauge the community’s perceptions
regarding appropriate solutions; and,
WHEREAS, through these efforts and analysis performed by the Interlocal Housing Task Force, the Interlocal
Housing Task Force and RCAC were able to produce an Affordable Housing Needs Assessment in February, 2008.
WHEREAS, On November 12, 2008, the Interlocal Housing Task Force held two public workshops at which the
draft report and plan were reported to the public and received public input; and,
WHEREAS, the Task Force reviewed and revised the plan based on the public input and other considerations; and,
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission has determined the proper process for public review of the draft
document, and has chosen to amend the General Plan by the incorporation of the Housing Plan into Section 5,
Housing.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Moab Planning Commission that the repeal of Moab General Plan,
Section 5, Housing, is favorably recommended to Council with the amending language to read:
II. AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Goal: To provide or make available affordable housing for all Moab residents.
The Grand County and City of Moab Housing Study and Affordable Housing Plan (Housing Plan or Plan)
was developed in an effort to address the community‐wide issue of affordable housing needs for low to
moderate income families and individuals. The Housing Plan, completed in 2009 and based on a 2008
housing needs assessment conducted by Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC) in conjunction
with the Inter‐local Housing Task Force, is hereby incorporated into the Moab General Plan as an
addendum by reference and as if printed here in its entirety.
The following goals and objectives and the 5‐year Plan are excerpted from the Housing Plan and provide
a comprehensive listing of the options that may be pursued in an effort to implement the Plan.
XIII. AFFORDABLE HOUSING 5‐YEAR GOALS AND
OBJECTIVES
Goals:
1. To achieve and protect secure, affordable, decent housing opportunities for Moab/Grand County
residents.
2. To achieve adequate owned and rental housing opportunities to allow the community to recruit and
retain a workforce with the skills and credentials needed by community
employers.
3. To achieve creation and retention of housing stock affordable to very low, low, moderate, and
moderate to 120 percent of Area Median Income (AMI) households.
4. To assess on a continuing basis the gaps among housing stock, housing needs, and what households
can afford in order to revise the objectives of the Affordable Housing Plan.
5. To establish and participate in programs and efforts to reduce household operating,
rehabilitation and construction costs across the economic spectrum.
Objectives:
1. Through public and private partnerships, provide 8 units of transitional housing for
Moab’s homeless, within the next five years, of the total 16 needed within the next 10
years.
2. Through public and private partnerships, provide 55 units of new or rehabilitated rental housing
affordable to very low income households, within the next five years, of the total 139 currently needed.
3. Through public and private partnerships, provide 22 units of new or rehabilitated housing affordable
to low income households; 10 for purchase and 12 for rental, within the next five years, of the total 55
currently needed.
4. Through public and private partnerships, provide 124 units of new or rehabilitated
housing affordable to moderate income households; 114 for purchase and 10 for rental,
within the next five years, of the total 313 units currently needed.
5. Promote and establish energy efficiency and other programs, policies and regulations to lower the
cost of constructing, rehabilitating and maintaining homes affordable to all
households earning 120 percent of AMI or less.
6. Analyze the housing needs of moderate to 120 percent income households and develop an objective
to address the needs of this income group.
7. Coordinate with and involve multiple community and outside agencies in developing
affordable housing solutions.

INTERNAL MEMORANDUM
Engineering Department Memo #09-08
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DAN STENTA, CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH COUNTY FOR MILL CREEK DRIVE PROJECT
DATE: 10/09/09
CC: Donna Metzler, Rachel Ellison
The Council will recall that I have previously reported on staff’s efforts to solicit cost sharing
participation for the Mill Creek Drive Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Project. The project entails
the establishment of a pedestrian / bicycle route connecting the Grand Vu subdivision area, (San Miguel
Street) to Powerhouse Lane, the Mill Creek Parkway, and Sand Flats Road. The City applied for and
received a state grant of approximately $130,000 to be matched by a $50,000 contribution from the
recreation district and $80,000 in City funds and in-kind services. During the design phase of the project
it became apparent that the best alternative for construction of the bike lanes involved a complete overlay
of the full width of Mill Creek Drive. However, the cost of the full overlay alternative exceeded the
project budget.
Since the affected portion of Mill Creek Drive is a county Class B road, staff decided to approach the
new transportation district and subsequently the County with a cost sharing proposal. Grand County
agreed to contribute the necessary funds to allow for the full overlay alternative. City staff prepared the
attached interlocal agreement that specifies the terms and conditions of the joint funding arrangement
and submitted it to the County for their approval. The agreement was approved as written by the County
Council on 10/6/09. At this point it is up to the City Council to review and approve the agreement. If
the Council wishes to make any changes to the agreement, the modified agreement will be sent back to
the County for their approval of the changes.
I would like to draw the Council’s attention to Articles 3 and 5 of the agreement in particular. These two
articles address financial responsibilities and long-term maintenance of the proposed improvements.

Resolution #21- 2009
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF MOAB AND GRAND COUNTY PERTAINING TO THE JOINT FUNDING OF
ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS TO MILL CREEK DRIVE.
WHEREAS, the City is planning to solicit bids for the construction of several bicycle and
pedestrian access improvements located generally along the Mill Creek Drive transportation
corridor in order to provide a pedestrian and bicycle travel route connecting Grand Vu
Subdivision to the existing Mill Creek Parkway; and
WHEREAS, the route crosses lands within the City’s corporate limits, and lands in
unincorporated Grand County and is intended to serve both city residents and non-residents
alike; and
WHEREAS, the Interlocal Cooperation Act (Sections 11-13-1 et Seq. Utah Code Annotated)
allows local governmental agencies to enter into agreements that benefit the constituencies of
the agencies entering into said agreements; and
WHEREAS, the governing bodies of the City and Grand County have determined that the
proposed roadway improvements will directly benefit city and county residents alike;
NOW THEREFORE, we, the Governing Body of the City of Moab do hereby resolve to enter
into an interlocal agreement with Grand County that covers the terms and conditions of the
joint funding arrangement for the proposed roadway improvements.
Passed and adopted by action of the Governing Body of the City of Moab in open
session this 13th day of October, 2009.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Donna Metzler, City Manager
Date: October 9, 2009
Subject: Franchise with Rocky Mountain Power – Ordinance 2009-10
The City of Moab currently has a franchise with Rocky Mountain Power that expires on
January 18, 2010. The franchise was approved by ordinance in 1977 and was originally
granted to Utah Power and Light Company, and transferred to subsequent assignees,
including Rocky Mountain Power. I have attached a copy of the “transcript” of the
original ordinance.
I have met with representatives from Rocky Mountain Power and we have crafted a new
franchise that I believe addresses the interests of the City and Rocky Mountain Power.
You may recall that the City recently adopted a franchise with Questar Gas. The
franchise was adopted by ordinance. The Rocky Mountain Power agreement
incorporates some of the same terms and conditions as the Questar Gas agreement,
including a 15 year term (instead of the 50 year term requested by the company) and a
provision for collection and remittance of the Municipal Energy Sales Tax (MET). We
have also added provisions for notice of expiration of the agreement (you will recall that
the Questar agreement actually expired prior to the company’s giving notice of
expiration), and other “on the ground” provisions regarding trees, relocation of service
facilities, etc. One important difference between the Rocky Mountain Power franchise
and the Questar franchise is that the Rocky Mountain Power franchise does NOT call
for collection of a franchise fee. This is because state law calls for the elimination of
franchise fees on energy-providing companies once new franchise agreements are
negotiated. Questar was unaware of this provision and agreed to pay the franchise fee.
This issue underwent legal review by the City Attorney.
I recommend approval of Ordinance 2009-10.
Thank you for your consideration.

ORDINANCE # 2009-10
AN ORDINANCE GRANTING AN ELECTRIC UTILITY FRANCHISE
AND GENERAL UTILITY EASEMENT
TO
ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER
WHEREAS, Rocky Mountain Power, is a regulated public utility that provides electric
power and energy to the citizens of the City of Moab (the “City”) and other surrounding areas;
WHEREAS, providing electrical power and energy requires the installation, operation
and maintenance of power poles and other related facilities to be located within the public ways
of the City;
WHEREAS, the City, pursuant to the provisions of Utah Code Ann. § 10-8-21 has the
authority to regulate power line facilities within public ways and to grant to Rocky Mountain
Power a general utility easement for the use thereof;
WHEREAS, the City desires to set forth the terms and conditions by which Rocky
Mountain Power shall use the public ways of the City;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City:
SECTION 1. Grant of Franchise and General Utility Easement. The City hereby grants to
Rocky Mountain Power the right, privilege and authority to construct, maintain, operate,
upgrade, and relocate its electrical distribution and transmission lines and related appurtenances,
including underground conduits and structures, poles, towers, wires, guy anchors, vaults,
transformers, transmission lines, and communication lines (collectively referred to herein as
“Electric Facilities”) in, under, along, over and across the present and future streets, alleys,
public ways and public places (collectively referred to herein as “Public Ways”) within the City,
for the purpose of supplying and transmitting electric power and energy to the inhabitants of the
City and persons and corporations beyond the limits thereof.
SECTION 2. Term. The term of this Franchise and General Utility Easement is for 15
(fifteen) years commencing on the date of acceptance by the Company as set forth in Section 3
below.
SECTION 3. Acceptance by Company. Within sixty (60) days after the passage of this
ordinance by the City, Rocky Mountain Power shall file an unqualified written acceptance
thereof, with the City Recorder otherwise the ordinance and the rights granted herein shall be
null and void.
2
SECTION 4. Non-Exclusive Franchise. The right to use and occupy the Public Ways of the
City shall be nonexclusive and the City reserves the right to use the Public Ways for itself or any
other entity that provides water or sewerage service to City residences; provided, however, that
such use shall not unreasonably interfere with Rocky Mountain Power’s Electric Facilities or
Rocky Mountain Power’s rights as granted herein.
SECTION 5. Municipal Energy Sales and Use Tax. Rocky Mountain Power acknowledges
that the City has levied a Municipal Energy Sales and Use Tax (MET) in the amount of three
percent (3.0%), on the sale or use of the delivered value of taxable energy within the City,
pursuant to the Municipal Energy Sales and Use Tax Act (Utah Code Ann. § 10-1-301 et seq.)
(the “Act”). To the extent consistent with the Act and City Ordinances, Rocky Mountain Power
shall collect the MET in the amount levied, as it may be adjusted during the term of this
Franchise, and pay said tax directly to the City .
Nothing in this Franchise shall affect the City’s right, under the Act, or any other
applicable law then in effect, at any time hereafter to prospectively impose upon, charge or
collect a municipal energy sales and use tax on the sale or use of taxable energy supplied by or
through Rocky Mountain Power within the City, or to impose, charge or collect any lawful fee,
tax, license fee, license tax, franchise fee or similar charge, or any combination or any of the
foregoing provided the City is or becomes legally authorized to do so. In the event that Title 10,
Chapter 1, Part 3, Municipal Energy Sales and Use Tax Act is repealed, invalidated, or the
maximum allowable rate of the MET is reduced, and if said Act is not superseded by a law
imposing a substantially equivalent tax, then Rocky Mountain Power shall pay to the City a
franchise fee in an amount equal to the MET rate imposed at the time of the repeal, invalidation
or reduction in the maximum allowable MET rate, effective on or after the day of the repeal,
invalidation or reduction.
SECTION 5. City Regulatory Authority. In addition to the provision herein contained, the
City reserves the right to adopt such additional ordinances and regulations as may be deemed
necessary in the exercise of its police power for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of
its citizens and their properties or exercise any other rights, powers, or duties required or
authorized, under the Constitution of the State of Utah, the laws of Utah or City Ordinance.
SECTION 6. Indemnification. The City shall in no way be liable or responsible for any loss or
damage to property or any injury to, or death, of any person that may occur in the construction,
operation or maintenance by Rocky Mountain Power of its Electric Facilities. Rocky Mountain
Power shall indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless from and against claims, demands,
liens and all liability or damage of whatsoever kind on account of Rocky Mountain Power’s use
of the Public Ways within the City, and shall pay the costs of defense plus reasonable attorneys'
fees for any claim, demand or lien brought thereunder. The City shall: (a) within thirty (30) days

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Donna Metzler, City Manager
Date: October 9, 2009
Subject: Revision to Animal Control Code – Ordinance 2009-12
There have arisen a number of incidents in which owners fail to provide proper medical or other
care of their animals (e.g. purposely leaving a sick animal to die in the street). Our code needs
to be clear that not providing adequate care is considered cruelty. Ordinance 2009-12 adds in
failing to provide adequate care into the definition of cruelty. This is consistent with the State of
Utah’s definition of cruelty.
The Animal Control Code is considered an administrative law and may be changed by the City
Council in a regular meeting without a public hearing or prior notice in the paper.
City staff members recommend approval of the Ordinance 2009-12.
Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Proposed rental fees for the Moab Teen Center and proposed fee adjustments for the Moab Arts and

nue to help support the Center, the following fees are proposed:

should not be placed near entrances or exits (this includes decorations). If MARC staff asks
for something to be moved, renter must comply with the request.

Please remember to unlock the ramp access door for public events and for any private events
when needed.

easily carry to the MARC’s neighbors or to other rooms in the MARC. Moab City’s noise

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Donna Metzler, City Manager
Date: October 9, 2009
Subject: Consulting Service Agreement with Montgomery Watson Harza for the
Wastewater Facilities Master Plan
Please find attached a Consulting Services Agreement between the City of Moab and
Montgomery Watson Harza (MWH). You will also find attached a cost proposal and a Scope of
Services.
City staff asked Nathan Zaug, who is fulfilling Al Anderson’s role with MWH after Mr. Anderson
died last year, to develop a cost proposal to analyze the facility deficiencies at the plant that are
causing the plant’s occasional permit violations during the winter months, and to provide an
alternatives analysis for solving the issue(s).
In the process of developing the proposal, and in discussion with the State of Utah Division of
Water Quality, the parties determined that the best course of action would be to complete the
Facilities Master Plan initiated by Mr. Anderson a few years ago. The Facilities Master Plan
would accomplish the needed analysis as well as provide necessary information to obtain
funding from the State Division of Water Quality for improvements to the plan.The attached cost
proposal and Scope of Services outlines the agreed upon scope of services and cost for
performing this work. Please be advised that this proposal has undergone significant scrutiny
and revision by city staff and the State of Utah and reflects a significant cost reduction from the
original cost proposal. City staff members, including the City Manager, the Public Works
Director and the City Engineer are in full concurrence with the scope of services and the
proposed cost. Mark Sovine from the Grand Water and Sewer Service Agency was also
involved in the discussions, since the Agency would be partially responsible for the cost of
improvements to remedy any problems that are identified. The cost of the work is set at a not-to-
exceed amount of $56,426.
You will recall that MWH is the engineering company that has been providing technical support
for issues related to the Moab Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for approximately 60
years. MWH has provided exemplary services for the City and their staff is intimately familiar
with the history and operation of the plant. For this reason, I recommend that the City Council
approve this agreement without seeking competitive proposals for the work. Approving the
agreement would constitute approval of an exception to the City’s purchasing policy for this
purchase only.
I recommend approval of the Consulting Service Agreement as presented.
Thank you for your consideration.

As you may recall, the City of Moab adopts a Community Impact Board Prioritization
List each year. This list is developed in conjunction with other CIB-eligible agencies.
Upon receipt of an official list from each eligible agency within the County, Grand
County will adopt a County-wide list.
Please note that, as in years’ past, the City places items on the CIB list for which we
may seek funding from a number of different sources, not just CIB. Any funding request
that goes through the Southeastern Utah Association of Local Governments (such as
CDBG and CIB applications) should be listed on the CIB prioritization list. You will also
note a couple of joint City/County projects are shown on the list this year.
I recommend that the City Council approve the list as shown in Resolution #24-2009.
Thank you for your consideration.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Donna Metzler, City Manager

Subject: Revision to Personnel Policies and Procedure Manual
The City of Moab follows the guidelines of the Utah State Retirement System (URS) for the
retirement of city employees. URS has provisions for public safety employees to continue
employment after retirement. URS also has special provisions for sheriffs, chiefs of police and
the Commissioner of Public Safety with respect to limitations on post-retirement employment.
The City’s Chief of Police retired on July 2005, under the guidelines of the URS “Post-
Retirement Employment” guidelines dated 1/2004. The Chief of Police’s retirement application
materials were submitted in May, 2005. Unbeknownst to the City, URS changed their
guidelines effective July 1, 2005. URS did not publish a new guidelines brochure for post-
retirement employment until June, 2007. Please see copies of the relevant brochures, as well as
some other general information. The City, having no other post-retirement employees, had no
reason to be familiar with the new guidelines.
The 2004 guidelines provide that “required payments to a defined contribution plan also apply to
an elected sheriff... and to an appointed chief of police....” Based on this guideline being in
effect at the time of application for retirement (May, 2005), the City has been making payments
into a defined contribution plan for the City Police Chief since his retirement in July, 2005.
The 2005 guidelines, published in 2007 and made known to the City of Moab in 2009, provide
that: “required payments to a defined contribution plan do not apply to...the commissioner of
public safety, an elected sheriff...and to an appointed chief of police...”
Recent conversations with URS about this situation indicate that the City may make such
contributions, and that many cities have chosen to do so. Since our Chief of Police retired
under the understanding that these payments would be made by the City, and since these
payments have been made since 2005, I recommend that the City adopt a policy to continue to
make such payments.
There is no change to the budget required for this policy, since the City has been making these
payments since 2005.
Thank you for your consideration.

for payments to a defined contribution plan for post-retirement employees changed in July, 2005 without notice
