MOAB CITY COUNCIL MINUTES--DRAFT
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
August 27, 2019
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. An audio recording of the evening
meeting is archived at: https://www.utah.gov/pmn/index.html and a video recording is
archived at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT5nPWNw1fY&t=2779s.
Workshop Meeting for Special Presentation:
At 12:056 PM, Mayor Emily Niehaus called a workshop meeting to order for a special
presentation by Utah Department of Transportation regarding the Possible Night Work
Provisions for the Highway 191 Widening Project. UDOT representatives were Ryan Anderson,
Monte Aldridge, Region Four Deputy Direction for UDOT, Jered Beard, District Engineer for
UDOT, Chris Blanchard, Resident Engineer for UDOT and Tony Brianholt, Consultant. In
attendance were Mayor Emily Niehaus, Councilmembers Kalen Jones, Karen Guzman-Newton,
Mike Duncan, Rani Derasary and Tawny Knuteson-Boyd. Also in attendance were City Manager
Joel Linares, City Attorney Chris McAnany Sustainability Director Rosemarie Russo,
Communications Director Lisa Church, City Engineer Chuck Williams, Streets Superintendent
Jeff Galley, Executive/Administrative Assistant, Carmella Galley, Deputy Recorder II Kerri Kirk
and Deputy Recorder I Joey Allred. Thirteen members of the press and public were present.
Anderson gave a presentation about the impacts of the project and UDOT’s goal to do their work
and fulfil the needs of the taxpayers in the area with as minimal an impact as is reasonable. They
discussed potential concerns and any mitigation requirements that they believe need to be
included. They need to acquire a temporary noise permit from the City to allow the necessary
night work. Jones requested that Williams get them a list of more specific options of time frames
that the night work could be done. Williams agreed. A video recording of the workshop is
archived at https://youtube/watch?tv=707PF220kN4.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Jones moved to recess the meeting until 6:00 PM.
Councilmember Knutson-Boyd seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0 aye with
Councilmembers Jones, Knutson-Boyd, Derasary, Guzman-Newton and Duncan voting aye.
Mayor Niehaus recessed the meeting at 1:09 PM.
Executive Closed Session:
Councilmember Rani Derasary moved to enter an Executive Closed Session to Discuss
Reasonably Imminent and/or Pending Litigation and an Executive Closed Session to Discuss the
Deployment of Security Personnel, Devices or Systems. Councilmember Tawny Knutson-Boyd
seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0 aye, with Councilmembers Derasary, Knutson-
Boyd, Jones, Guzman-Newton, and Duncan voting aye. Mayor Emily Niehaus called the
Executive Session to order at 6:02 PM. Councilmember Rani Derasary moved to end the
Executive Closed Session. Councilmember Kalen Jones seconded the motion. The motion
passed 5-0 aye with Councilmembers Derasary, Jones, Knuteson-Boyd, Guzman-Newton and
Duncan voting aye. Mayor Niehaus ended the Executive Closed session at 6:23 PM.
Pre-Council Workshop:
Mayor Niehaus called the Pre-Council Workshop to order at 6:30 PM for discussion regarding
sewer rates for churches and non-profits. A video recording of the workshop is archived at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAeT39raD1A. City Manager Linares opened the
discussion by presenting a historical timeline back to 1977 so they could see where they had
been, talk about their current state of affairs and how they would proceed going forward.
Historically, sewer rates for churches were done as commercial rates. In 1995 an ordinance was
Page 2 of 10
March 12, 2019
adopted that classified them as institutional. The rate was lower than commercial, but higher
than residential. How they can be amended and changed. In 2017 they were adopted as other
non-residential that no longer used the winter average and that led to an increase. Churches and
non-profits don’t really fit in the existing categories for rates. Linares proposed a new rate study
to create another category to the existing chart that will, in essence, be a not-for-profit, non-
taxable entity provision, let the study determine what rate would be fair and create a category
for them. His recommendation is for the City to put out a bid, get an engineering firm to provide
them a new rate study analysis, get a category for non-profit/non-taxable entities and then
adopt that rate for them. Such a study would probably cost around $50,000. However, the fees
collected from adopted rates are called Enterprise Funds and they are separate from the normal
tax funds. He also recommended that the City not set new fees with hiring a firm to set their
rates. There was further discussion on other possible options. Linares proposed that the City
allow he and City Engineer Williams to prepare information for a study to determine cost, and to
determine the number of churches and not-for-profit’s that the City has in their system for them
to look to at to see if they can calculate their use. Linares will get a quote for the study and get it
back to the Council.
Regular Meeting—Call to Order and Attendance:
Mayor Niehaus called the meeting to order at 7:03 PM and led the Pledge of Allegiance. In
attendance were Councilmembers Kalen Jones, Karen Guzman-Newton, Mike Duncan, Rani
Derasary and Tawny Knuteson-Boyd. Also in attendance were City Manager Joel Linares, City
Attorney Chris McAnany, Police Chief Bret Edge, Finance Director Rachel Stenta, City Engineer
Chuck Williams, Deputy Recorder II Kerri Kirk and Deputy Recorder I Joey Allred. Thirteen
members of the public and media were present.
Approval of Minutes:
Councilmember Duncan moved to approve the minutes of the August 13, 2019 meeting.
Councilmember Guzman-Newton seconded the motion. The motion carried 5-0 aye, with
Councilmembers Derasary, Jones, Knuteson-Boyd, Guzman-Newton and Duncan voting aye.
Mayor and Council Reports: Mayor Niehaus began by stating that they will be getting a
new policy intern from the high school in the Mayor’s office. She attended several meetings with
a recap of the state legislative session and noted several bills the City and individual Council
members had been tracking. The Mayor also reported on a meeting of the Utah League of Cities
and Towns (ULCT) that she participated in along with Councilmember Derasary. She mentioned
a meeting of the Southeastern Utah Association of Local Governments (SEUALG) at which
decisions were made regarding Permanent Community Impact Board (CIB) grants as well as
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). Also noted were the Mayor’s attendance at the
rural caucus meetings and Housing Day at the capitol, a Webelos visit to City Hall, the Planned
Affordable Development (PAD) workshop with City Council, and a tour of the Uranium Mill
Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) site. She updated Council on a meeting of the Utah State
University (USU) Advisory Board and mentioned $2.5 million had been raised locally and
groundbreaking would likely be after the completion of the entry road in the summer. Mayor
Niehaus noted USU continues to secure funding for the Moab campus project at the state level.
She was involved in interviews for Assistant City Manager. She and Linares met with Cara Dora
Ren regarding fire mitigation efforts along the creek. Attended Interim meetings at the Utah
State Legislature and was joined in several meetings with Councilmembers Duncan and
Guzman-Newton. The Legislative Policy Committee meeting was with President Adams as part
of the Utah League of Cities. She also attended a meeting with the Governor’s Deputy Chief of
Staff Mike Mower, Director of the Utah office of Tourism Vicki Varela, and Director of the
Page 3 of 10
March 12, 2019
Office of Outdoor Recreation Tom Adams regarding the steps Moab is taking to mitigate the
impacts of outdoor recreation, the City’s recreation economy, their tourism based economy, the
steps the City is taking and the City’s partnership with the Governor’s Office of Economic
Development who shared their support of that and they intend to be legislative advocates for
Moab in this matter. Member of the City and County Councils met to show a unified front with
legislature regarding overnight accommodations and other matters that deal with Moab’s
increasing tourism. She attended a Zion’s Bank, meeting with City Manager Joel Linares, City
Finance Director Rachel Stenta and Alex Buxton, Vice President and Municipal Securities
Representative for Zion’s Bank regarding the City’s debt policy. She also attended a USU
property meeting where she was asked if the City was interested in furthering a conversation
about buying the existing USU building.
Councilmember Derasary reported that she watched the ULCT meeting online on August 21st
and sat in on one of the interviews that Linares had for the Assistant City Manager position with
other Councilmembers.
Councilmember Duncan thanked Grand County’s Water Agency. They had an audit and were
very proud of the fact that they’ve only lost 6% of ther water in their culinary pipelines. What
they didn’t talk about was Ken’s Lake, which is used for irrigation, which leaks terribly. He also
attended the Interim session which was an eye opener for him because he saw that fiscal
conservatism was prevalent there. They talked a lot about Wasatch growth and the new ideas
that came from that, including more roads and denser housing. He was happy to see that they
have a Quality of Growth Initiative.
Councilmember Knutson-Boyd reported that she discovered a letter from the United States
Conference of Mayors that had been signed by over 250 mayors and the letter went to Senator
McConnell encouraging him to pass the gun legislation that the House passed back in February,
which included universal background checks and “red flag” laws among other things. Mayor
Niehaus was able to sign on to that letter, which made her happy because she was one of only
two mayors in Utah that signed on. She met with one of the candidates for the Assistant City
Manager position last week. She also attended the Housing Authority’s Board meeting. The
Land Trust was going to go to the County Council for the approval of their infrastructure loan.
They also discussed the MAPS project. She attended the Utah State University meeting where
they discussed the City being offered right of first refusal for the current property and she
wonder if they should put it on the agenda for a future meeting to discuss where they sit and if
they want to seriously look at possibly partnering some other way with another entity. Linares
asked if they had a time frame of when they are wanting to sell it. They have an appraisal that
they will share with Council. It will be put on the agenda for discussion at the August 9, 2019
City Council Meeting.
Councilmember Guzman-Newton also attended the UTCT meeting with State President Adams
where the City and County tried to explain the reasonings for the Moratorium on Overnight
Accommodations and the goals for the community and setting higher standards. She attended
the tax reform meeting where they were trying to figure out the issue of the flow of funding and
the fact that the State of Utah is the only state in America to set income tax for education. As
100% of the City’s income tax currently goes to education. They are looking at possibly doing a
constitutional amendment for the state budget so that some of the income tax can be moved to
the general fund. Education isn’t going to lose money, but it needs to be distributed differently.
She attended a transportation meeting where UDOT was trying to get funding with state
legislators. The Aeronautical Program is trying to purchase two new airplanes and UDOT was
trying to set goals for next year. They are planning for unmanned aerial vehicles and to connect
Page 4 of 10
March 12, 2019
autonomous vehicles and road use charges. They explained that UDOT was trying to set goals
for this year and discussed the fact that 94% of crashes are human error, so autonomous
vehicles are the future and they trying to get ready for that. It’s another reason that they are
trying to set up 5G in all communities. She also attended a meeting with Mike Mower, Vicki
Varela and Tom Adams. They were set the task getting legislators to come here to get an
understanding of what the Council is trying to do for the community.
Councilmember Jones reported that he attended the CAST Summer Conference that started
with the Sustainable Tourism Panel. Breckenridge presented some of their work on their
Destination Management Plan that included a community survey to try to gauge some of the
community’s relationship with their tourist economy and despite having a strong tourism focus,
their residents were largely alright with the direction of the town and their events, but that the
areas that they felt crowding on was parking, sidewalks and the supermarket. Aspen’s parking is
even more constrained than ours. They also have a short optional training for hospitality
workers, many of whom are seasonal and may not return. The training gives them the basics
about where to send people and what to recommend to tourists. In exchange they get things like
a meal or coupon tour. They are looking at their travel carbon impacts, trying to have more
direct flights, encouraging vehicle rental companies to have more electric vehicles and more
shuttles. He was aware there are Friends Boards of national parks, but there are Friends Boards
of other public land management agencies, as well. They provide an interface and support for
those agencies. They do visitor surveys every two years to try to understand the evolving
characteristics of the people visiting. Colorado tourism office has a campaign making core
principles of visitors not harming the outdoors or themselves into bite-sized ads. They have a
partnership with the Leave No Trace Organization, so the local tourism offices use the Leave No
Trace materials and they have a development program to help emerging destinations clarify
their vision and focus. It’s competitive and comes with a starter implementation grant. There
were a number of presenters on Community Engagement on Climate action. Colorado passed a
number of bills, include the Colorado Just Transition Office to help extractive economies
transition to other means of support. The High-Country Conservation Center working with
Summit County Colorado and its cities and ski resorts published a climate action plan
specifically focusing on that aspect of sustainability. He sent the Councilmembers a link to that.
They are also engaging other local government entities, such as school districts, as partners as
both sources of emissions and possible solutions participants. He and Grand County
Community and Economic Development Director, Zacharia Levine, presented on their local
work on an Outdoor Lighting and Dark Sky advocacy.
Mayor Niehaus mentioned a few conferences that were coming up and wanted to know if anyone
was going to attend. She said that she will be speaking on the panels of the Outdoor Recreation
Summit October 21 – 24, 2019 and the Rural Business Summit in Price on September 6, 2019.
She will also speak on the panel at the Rural Summit in Cedar City. She wanted the Council to
consider who all could attend. Knutson-Boyd, Guzman-Newton and Derasary will attend the
LPC.
Administrative Report: City Manager Linares reminded everyone of the ribbon cutting
event for the new road that goes out to the new campus area across from the Millcreek extension
on September 19th at 9:00 a.m. He attended the interim session and appreciated them taking the
time to meet with the City rather than just reacting towards them. It goes a long way to have
open dialog. He looks forward to attending other interim sessions and showing them what the
City is doing as they move forward with overnight accommodations and work with them in the
league to solve Moab’s problems and make this city awesome. Still working on Walnut Lane.
He’s continuing to reach out to the City’s partners through land exchanges and tring to continue
Page 5 of 10
March 12, 2019
to keep working on a way to start the development. They should also have the burned trailers
gone this week as they signed an agreement with an individual who is going to remove them. He
thanked the staff on Walnut Lane because they are really working hard and not hesitating They
are taking a lot of pride in it and it’s so outside of what they normally do. He reminded the
Council that their next meeting will be on September 9th and that there will a longer workshop
that day, probably from noon to 3:00 pm. The Public Works and Engineering Departments will
be there and they will go through the infrastructure and the things they talked about at that
day’s earlier workshop.
Police Chief Bret Edge reported that they had had a difficult week last week. Multiple officers
were involved in both of the critical incidents and performed absolutely flawlessly in very
difficult situations and he was proud of them. He said that they are working on a program to
offer them the support that they need following critical incidents. It’s something that has been
long overdue. He also mentioned that jaywalking is an issue in the community, and they will be
doing education and enforcement as much as possible. They will have officers on Main Street
making contact with people who are walking outside of the crosswalks and educating them
about the dangers involved and, at some point, they will also start issuing citations. They are
planning to work with Communications Manager, Lisa Church to develop some education
material to push out into the community. He also notified them that he will out of the office for a
couple of weeks, possibly longer, and Assistant Chief Mike Thurston will be acting in his place. If
Thurston is absent Sergeant Jerry Niemeier will take the reins. Linares thanked both the
Sheriff’s Department and Highway Patrol for their assistance in the critical incidences. The
highway patrol had stepped in and did the on-scene investigation with aid from the other
departments, but they have other technology and equipment that the Police Department doesn’t
have. He also thanked the Police Department as they have been taking on some roles that,
historically, haven’t been their function.
Citizens to be Heard:
Marc Thomas urged the Council to approve Resolution 45-2019 Adopting the Sustainability
Action Plan for Moab. Up the road in Salt Lake City, the three-day United Nations Civil Society
Conference with attendees from around the world is pointing out that only with aggressive
policies can humankind stem climate change. The Conference discussions have centered on the
UN Sustainable Goal #11, which if achieved, would make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and
sustainable by 2030 while increasing access to renewable energy, affordable housing,
transportation alternatives and green spaces. In fact, one panel was titled Local and Regional
Governments Leading the Way to Sustainable Communities. He said that Moab adopted a
Resolution in 2017 calling for the transitioning, community-wide, to 100% renewable energy by
2030 plus significantly reducing greenhouse emissions over time. To get there, initiatives
including lighting, retrofitting citywide recycling, bike sharing, dark skies, and participation in
the Watt Smart Communities Program are already underway, but to achieve a Moab that is
inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable by 2030 as outlined in the UN Sustainable Goal #11.
More action is needed, and the 2019 Sustainable Action Plan points the way forward with
necessary and achievable initiatives. He, therefore, employed the Council to adopt Resolution
45-2019.
Sara Melnicoff also wanted to talk about sustainability and wanted to remind the Council that in
2007 she created a petition that was signed by hundreds of people in the community, before the
word sustainability was in common usage, calling for a recycling, conservation and healthy
community specialist. Highlighting the fact that it would save the city a lot of money while
encouraging the public to do healthy things that were good for the planet and the community,
including green spaces, protecting wildlife, protecting domestic animals, encourage green
Page 6 of 10
March 12, 2019
business startups and encourage recycling city wide. She said that the recycling actually has to
be recycled for it to count and, that in a lot of ways, that’s not happening with single stream.
She wanted to highlight some the partnerships that she’s been building. She’s been working with
someone at the ballpark. She’s been checking it every week and cleans the bin. Everything is
working well over there now, because there’s teamwork and cooperation. She dislikes single
stream recycling, but she’s putting stuff in the single stream can and making sure it’s clean. She
said that she’s doing it because “you have to use every tool in the toolbox”. She said that the
Sustainability Plan does not mention Moab Solutions even though she’s been working on this for
20 years, and the Recycle Center is never mentioned. She doesn’t think it’s getting the respect
it’s due and it’s going to be 29 years old soon. She’s started recycling at the Virginian Motel and
all the guests and owners are loving it as they don’t need to have their trash picked up as often.
She said that it takes her seven minutes to load it in her truck and take it to the Center where it
gets source separated and sent to Salt Lake. She was very upset regarding Monument Waste. She
said that have brought no cardboard to the Center since July 31st. Monument doesn’t take
shredded paper, but the Recycle Center does. She encouraged the Council to try to talk to people
about working together. An example is that the “three to seven” everyone puts in their single
streams is getting land-filled in Denver. That is according to a broker who was there and talked
to senior staff. It’s great to feel like to you’re doing something that makes a difference, but it only
counts when you are really doing something that makes a difference. The Recycling Center is in
its best shape thanks to the new management and staff deserves some respect and to be included
in a sustainability recommendation report, because the only way we’re going to solve the climate
crisis, or any other crisis is by working together.

Old Business:
Proposed Resolution 46-2019: A Resolution Authorizing the Execution of a
Restated and Amended Subdivision Improvements Agreement for the MAPS
Subdivision, Phase II
Special Events Sponsorship—Approved
Discussion: City Attorney McAnany presented a revised version of the Agreement. He had
emailed a red-line version earlier in the day so that they could see the changes. The plat for the
subdivision was previously approved by the Council in March of 2019. However, the developer
had to make some changes to its plans due to some financing changes. The City has an existing
subdivision improvements plan with the Housing Authority of Southeastern Utah, but a
different entity.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Knutson-Boyd moved to approve the Resolution
Authorizing the Execution of a Restated and Amended Subdivision Improvements Agreement
for the MAPS Subdivision, Phase II. Councilmember Jones seconded the motion. The motion
carried 5-0 aye, with Councilmembers Derasary, Jones, Knuteson-Boyd, Duncan and Guzman-
Newton voting aye.
Proposed Resolution 45-2019: Adopting the 2019 Sustainability Action Plan
Discussion: Russo was thanked for all of her work on the plan. Councilmember Jones was
concerned about the spelling and grammatical errors contained in the document. He had made
Page 7 of 10
March 12, 2019
some corrections and sent them out to the Council but wondered if there was someone else that
could be a part of the team that vets the documents before they get to the council, because the
document doesn’t look like it’s quite ready. He said that he could make a motion to approve
subject to those identified errors. Mayor Niehaus asked him to share documents with
corrections with Russo to have the staff make the necessary corrections. Councilmembers
Derasary and Guzman-Newton had also made corrections to the document and recommended
that it be shared in Google Docs with “track changes” so that they could all make changes and
corrections and get it to Russo. Mayor Niehaus had asked Linares to put in the Agenda
Summary Sheet, a suggested motion that tentatively passes the Sustainability Plan so that the
Council can pass it and allow them time to flush out the edits and then finalize it. Linares said
that his suggestion is that they tentatively pass the Sustainability Plan and then hold it until
their 1st meeting in October as they are attending a Park City Summit on October 1st. That way
they can also incorporate some of what they learn at the Summit into the living document if they
choose to do so.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Derasary moved to approve that the Council Adopt the
City of Moab Resolution 45-2019. A Resolution Adopting a Tentative Ten-Year Sustainability
Plan. Councilmember Knutson-Boyd seconded the motion. The motion carried 5-0 aye, with
Councilmembers Derasary, Jones, Knuteson-Boyd, Duncan and Guzman-Newton voting aye.
Update on the City of Moab 2019-2020 Administrative Work Plan
Discussion: Mayor Niehaus stated that the Council had never finished approving the
Administrative Work Plan. The working document had been created by a former City Manager
and, as the City has a new City Manager, she wanted to give Linares the opportunity to go
through it and see how he feels about this very important tool, so that they can move forward for
the remainder of this year and set up expectations for next year. Linares said that he can work
on it as there are some things in the Plan that have been completed and can be removed, some
that need to be changed and some that need to be added. Staff will bring it back before Council
at the Strategic Planning Session in January so that the Council can have the opportunity to
make changes or have any additions that they would like included. Staff will then work on those
changes and/or additions and bring it back before the Council in June when they are working on
the budget, so that they can see how the items that both Council and staff are prioritizing are
going and how they are being budgeted. In that manner, they will be able to know how they’re
being budgeted, what they have the money for and what is realistic financially going forward,.
Perhaps readjusting things as they go through the budget process. They can make it a viable
document that both staff and Council can have access to and make changes as deemed
necessary. Derasary requested that Linares share with Council, the parts of the Plan that have
been completed when staff cuts them out. They would like to be able to celebrate/recognize the
accomplishments made.
Update on the Administrative Guidelines for the Use and Reservation of City
Owned Property
Discussion: Linares said that he thinks that this is something that he is going to ask the
Council at some point to get everyone to thinking about it again. Staff is going to meet on this
and hone it in a lot more. They will then present it to Council in a much more completed idea.
Staff is open to whatever changes Council would like to make. He has already heard some great
ideas. He liked Guzman-Newton’s idea of creating a table and making it smaller. Staff also
thought that was a great idea and want to get it finalized and put on the website where people
can just look at it and be able to read how they can rent a City owned property and see what they
can have there. However, there are some things that he doesn’t feel comfortable as a staff,
unilaterally, making some of the decisions. There are some decisions that he believes that it
would be better for the Council to come to terms with and inform staff on how they are to be
Page 8 of 10
March 12, 2019
handled. At this time, dogs are not allowed on the grass in the parks, but they are allowed on the
sidewalks/paved surfaces, except that Lions Park allows dogs on the grass with a leash. Staff just
needs to know that they haveCouncil’s support when they implement such policies for the parks.
Derasary asked Linares what document she should send people to if they have questions about
park policies. He explained that that was the reason for to subject to be on the agenda. There
really isn’t one. So, what they are working off of right now is historical precedence because
nothing was ever finalized. Derasary asked what his suggestion would be, since they had only
made it partly through the document and there had been questions. Linares said that he would
meet with the park staff and other city staff to go through it and implement the ideas that
Council has provided, as well as, identify and take care of problems. They will then bring it back
before Council to formalize it. Derasary asked that he include Animal Control in the staff that
will be reviewing the document. He said that he would include parks, animal control, law
enforcement, public works reservations staff and possibly finance so that all of them can have a
hand in how the process works. Derasary asked that he look into two other questions that she
had been asked regarding the park policies. One asked if there were amplification limits and one
was slacklining at Old City Park. Linares will look into it and do a risk assessment regarding
slacklining. Niehaus offered to assist any Councilmembers who would like to try slacklining.
There is a group of professional slackliners who are part of the community as well. Duncan said
that he thought the website idea was great but wanted to make sure that the customer service
would continue for phone calls that come in and that staff would not just refer people to the
website rather then assist them. Linares assured him that was not going to happen. It would be
more for the people who want to start online.
New Business:
Proposed Resolution 44-2019: Establishing a Debt Policy for the City of Moab.
Briefing and First Review
Discussion: City Finance Director Rachel Stenta provided a presentation to provide a quick
overview of the Debt Policy. Historically the City favored a “pay as you go” approach which
keeps the debt load low but neglects the infrastructure needs. This will be the City’s first formal
Debt Management Policy. She went over what has worked with the former debt management
system and what hasn’t. The pay as you go approach has kept debt obligations low. However,
the City’s infrastructure requires regular investment of capital to keep it functioning. The City’s
services and operations have grown, and maintenance of their infrastructure has fallen behind
due to lack of funding. The City’s reserves have also been declining as they have used cash to pay
for capital projects for several years. They’ve also been using those reserves to pay for
operations. She explained why the City would want to have a Debt Policy. One is infrastructure.
The draft capital improvements plan currently has over $14,000,000 in needed improvements
and that number is going to get larger as the plan becomes more comprehensive and prioritized.
Cash for projects is limited and the City won’t be able to do major infrastructure projects with
the amount of cash they have on hand. There are new projects that the Council has identified as
community-based priorities include repairing their infrastructure and affordable housing.
Dedicated revenue streams that retire debt will bring those projects to completion. The goals of
this policy if adopted, would be in place for future Councils and would be updated each year, or
every 2 years to make sure that they are using their resources to the best of their ability and in
the most fiscally responsible manner. It can be used to decide when the City is going to take on
new debt and how they are going to use it. It would give guidelines of what the Council should
look at before taking on new debt to make sure that they have sufficient revenue to repay it and
to look at other options for financing that could be put toward those projects. The debt policy
ensures that debt will not be used to fund ongoing operating expenses. The policy also outlines a
formal fiscal rule for operating expenses that states “To conserve the General Fund equity
balance and to avoid reliance on this balance, the City will not finance operations from the
Page 9 of 10
March 12, 2019
General Fund Equity balance for periods longer than two years”. The Strategy is to ensure the
proper use of debt to fund capital projects within the five-year Capital Improvements Plan that
the City will revise and adopt each year. The Capital Improvements Plan ties into a Financing
Plan and will make sure that the user rates and the impact fees are supporting the City’s
operations and enterprise funds. Stenta said that there is a lot of technical jargon and there are a
lot of terms and processes that take place behind the scenes with debt and she will be happy to
sit down and explain any of the those in depth. What the Council would be adopting is a policy
document that is administered by staff in conjunction with the City’s financial consultants and
with bond council once they have undertaken debt. Basically, what the policy says is that these
are the range of products and loans and structures that they can use whenever they are looking
at going into debt. Guzman-Newton asked if the City scores very high when it comes to getting
bonds. Stenta said that it depends on the type of financing they are looking at and that their
financial consultant said that adopting a debt management policy improves their score. Niehaus
asked what the next steps would be. Stenta stated that it has gone through legal review with the
City’s attorney and that Alex Buxton Vice President of Zions Bank had also reviewed it and only
made a couple of suggestions that she has incorporated into the policy. The City’s auditors have
reviewed it as well, so the next step would be for the Council to adopt it and then get the going
on the Capital Improvements Project Plan. Once that is done, they will move forward with the
financing plan. Linares said that they would be looking at their impact fee and expanding their
impact fee table to include more than what they are currently collecting on.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Guzman-Newman moved to adopt Proposed
Resolution 44-2019: A Resolution establishing a debt policy for the City of Moab.
Councilmember Knutson-Boyd seconded the motion. The motion carried 5-0 aye, with
Councilmembers Derasary, Jones, Knuteson-Boyd, Duncan and Guzman-Newton voting aye.
Proposed Ordinance 2019-26: An Ordinance Renaming Rimrock Road to a New
Name of “Aggie Boulevard”
Discussion: A request was brought to Council and then Staff by USU Director Liana H Berger
asking that they consider renaming Rimrock Road to Aggie Boulevard for the new college
campus. Linares and City Engineer Williams put the Ordinance together. Knutson-Boyd asked
for clarification that they were only changing the City’s portion of that road and that it would
remain Rimrock Road in the County closer to the Rim. Linares confirmed that was correct.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Derasary moved to approve Ordinance 2019-26: An
Ordinance Renaming Rimrock Road to a New Name of Aggie Boulevard. Councilmember
Guzman-Newton seconded the motion. The motion carried 5-0 aye, with Councilmembers
Derasary, Jones, Knuteson-Boyd, Duncan and Guzman-Newton voting aye.
Resolution 40-2019: Authorizing the City of Moab To Commence Eminent Domain
Proceedings to Acquire a Utility Easement Across the Pilles Property in
Conjunction with the North Corridor Wastewater Improvements
Briefing and Possible Action
Discussion: Mayor Niehaus invited the property owners to speak if they were present. They
were not present, so it was recommended that Council move forward. Derasary thanked the staff
for all of the information they provided. She said that they did a great job of explaining what
Eminent Domain is and what it isn’t. Knutson-Boyd agreed and said that it gave them the
knowledge that they needed to take the necessary steps. Linares explained that the easement
will allow the City to install a North trunk line sewer line and that the easement they are
requesting will be in the setback portion of the property of the parcel which will allow them to
bury the line, and that the parcel involved is not developable due to the existing setback. This
easement will, hopefully, minimize their impact as much as possible. It is also in the public good
as this line will provide sewer service out to the North end of town. McAnany added that an
Page 10 of 10
March 12, 2019
invitation had been sent to the landowner by Federal Express inviting them to attend this
meeting so that they could address the Council if they chose to do so, but he had not heard from
them. Linares stated that there were 11 easements that needed to be acquired by the City the for
this project, nine of which were successfully negotiated and done without having to go through
this process.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Knutson-Boyd moved to approve Resolution 40-2019
authorizing the City of Moab to Commence Eminent Domain Proceedings to Acquire a Utility
Easement Across the Pilles Property in Conjunction with the North Corridor Wastewater
Improvements. Councilmember Guzman-Newton seconded the motion. The motion carried 5-0
aye, with Councilmembers Derasary, Jones, Knuteson-Boyd, Duncan and Guzman-Newton
voting aye.
Resolution 40-2019: Authorizing the City of Moab To Commence Eminent Domain

wanted to address the Council. They were not present. McAnany stated that the landowner was
notified in writing more than 10 days prior and was invited to attend the meeting and speak to
the Council if they chose to do so. Guzman-Newton pointed out that fair market value
compensation is being offered to these property owners. The City is not allowed to take
property.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Duncan moved to approved Resolution 40-2019
Authorizing the City of Moab To Commence Eminent Domain Proceedings to Acquire a Utility
Easement Across the Moab Lodging LLC Property in Conjunction with the North Corridor

1) Proposed Ordinance 2019-24: Amending Title 3 of the Moab Municipal Code
to Include Chapter 3.50 Master Fee Schedule and Modifying Certain Fees and
Rates Charged by the City
Suggested Motions for September 24 Council Meeting:
1. “I move to adopt Ordinance 2019-24, an Ordinance Amending Title 3 of the
Moab Municipal Code to Include Chapter 3.50 Master Fee Schedule and
Modifying Certain Fees and Rates Charged by the City.”
Background/Summary:
A public hearing was held on September 9 for public input on the Master Fee Schedule.
No public input was received. Staff have made some minor changes since the public
hearing in these specific categories:
Culinary Water connection fees – updated fees based on actual costs
Sanitary Sewer connection fees – updated fees based on actual costs
Culinary water rates – updated fees, corrected rate schedule
Building Service Fees – split out into a separate fee subsection
Planning and Engineering Service Fees – corrected several fees
Civil code violation penalties – corrected fees
Miscellaneous fees – added/adjusted accounts receivable fees
Locating and consolidating all fees in a new Chapter of the Moab City Code will help to
ensure that fees are easy to find and understand, and consistently applied throughout
the City and over time. Fees must be approved in order to be assessed.
The fees presented here are a culmination of input and research by both current and
previous City Staff, commissioned rate and fee studies (collectively) and the work of
several professional consultants. The draft Master Fee Schedule has been reviewed by
all departments and is presented here for solicitation of public input and future
adoption and enactment.
The Master Fee Schedule will be updated and presented for adoption each year as part
of the City’s annual budget approval process.
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.

City of Moab City Park Use Policies
The City of Moab is pleased to provide a beautiful park and trail system for residents
and visitors. Swanny Park, Lions Park, Rotary Park, Old City Park, the Center Street
Ballfields, the Bark Park, and Sun Court are official City parks. The City is also
responsible for the Millcreek Parkway trail system, Anonymous Park (the BMX track
area), Center Street Gym, and other smaller park areas and trails within the City.
Generally, park use is on a first-come, first-served basis. Gatherings that involve fewer
than 50 people and that do not involve business activity, amplified music, moved‐on
structures or other special accommodations do not require prior permission, special
event licensing, or the payment of a fee.
When an individual or a group wishes to use part or all of a park for an event or
gathering that does not meet the above criteria, the City uses two different processes to
ensure that park resources are used fairly and sustainably:
1.Park reservations. Specific areas of some parks (pavilions, stages, etc.) may be
reserved for private use for birthday parties, weddings and more. See Table 1.
2.Special Event permitting. Parks, in whole or in part, may be used subject to the
special event permitting process, as defined in Chapter 4.02 of the Moab
Municipal Code.
Questions about what permits and licenses your group may need for an event should be
directed to the City at (435) 259‐5121.
Below you will find park policies that apply to all city parks and areas, policies for
individual parks, and information about reservations and fees.
General Park Policies
All parks and park areas 0pen at 5:00 am and close at 11:00 p.m, unless approved as a
special event. This does not apply to pathways.
Citywide noise regulations apply to all parks. See Moab Municipal Code Section 17.74.
The following activities are prohibited at City parks, park areas, and pathways, unless
specifically allowed in Table 1 or per individual park policies:
Commercial activity
Smoking
Alcohol, unless approved per City Ordinance
Dogs or other pets. Dogs are allowed on shared use pathways (including the
Millcreek Parkway) and trails, but must be on a leash and under voice control.
See Table 1. Where permitted, dogs must remain on leash at all times.
Bounce houses and other inflatable structures.
Slacklining, except for where specifically designated. All permitted slacklines
must be removed before dark. See Table 1.
Moved‐on structures.
