wellness program (mental, physical, and financial) for officers. He stated that the budgetary
priorities are to minimize overtime, mitigate unplanned vehicle fleet and maintenance expenses,

equipment (i.e. laptops, rifle plates, and spike strips).
City Engineer Williams presented his department goals: provide support to multiple City
departments regarding construction-related issues and development/building applications,
coordinate with UDOT on the Highway 191 widening project, provide plan reviews in
compliance with the State requirements, expand internal technical expertise through training,
support implementation of the 5-year capital improvement plan, and utilize public engagement

Councilmember Jones moved to adjourn the closed session. Councilmember Duncan seconded
the motion. The motion passed 5-0 aye with Councilmembers Jones, Derasary, Knuteson-Boyd,
Guzman-Newton and Duncan voting aye. Mayor Niehaus ended the executive closed session at
2:00 PM.
City Council Discussion of Goals and Priorities for Calendar Year 2020:
Mayor Niehaus stated that each councilmember will share their individual goals and priorities,
and then there will be discussion.
Councilmember Derasary stated that she wants to review the budget to decide which goals are
feasible, focus on public works and safety, look at capital improvement items, focus on
sustainability, implement a community vision, follow up on consultant expenditures, and
support staff improvements (such as City Code updates). She also stated that she wants to follow
up on citizen questions such as: time-limits for parking on Main Street, lower speed limits, and
Dark Sky lighting limiting visibility at night for senior citizens. She wants to ensure that people
feel welcome at all City buildings due to high levels of customer service.
Councilmember Guzman-Newton’s goals are customer service, promote small businesses in
Page 5 of 7
February 9, 2019
Moab, improve water conservation, define and implement a community vision, focus on grant
writing to achieve additional funding, and increase focus on downtown safety through the Police
Department.
Councilmember Jones thanked departments for their presentations today. His goals are to
improve appropriate driver behavior in Moab and increase cross-departmental cooperation.
Regarding sustainability, Councilmember Jones stated that he wants to follow up on the plastic
bag ban by encouraging people to use reusable bags versus paper bags. He also stated that the
Waste Hauling Franchise Agreement needs to move toward transparency regarding recycling
when it’s renewed in 5 years. He wants to review renewable energy goals and transportation
networks with Rocky Mountain Power.
Councilmember Duncan stated that his goals are aimed towards the bigger picture. He said that
Moab has entered a “mature” phase where exponential growth is not feasible. He wants to keep
the town vibrant and healthy by having slower growth.
Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd thanked City Manager Linares for bringing Council the
information today. She commended staff for their time, effort, and professionalism on achieving
the goals set by Council. She stated that staff has earned Council’s support and respect.
Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd’s goals are to ensure a safe community, provide information to
the public that is accurate and factual, update planning procedures, and verify that staff is doing
their best.
Mayor Niehaus said that she used the SWAT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats)
analysis for her priorities. She said that the City’s strengths include staff capacity to address
issues, the beauty of Moab, having a diversified Council, and City Manager Linares’ dedication
to the City. The City’s weaknesses include not having a diversified revenue and communication.
The opportunities are improving professional development, building upon assets like Old City
Park and the MARC, and improving relationships with the legislature and private sector. The
threats for the City are a drop in sales tax revenue due to the Coronavirus which could result in a
decrease in operations funding, failing infrastructure (like water and sewer), and a loss of
institutional knowledge due to many new staff and Council members. Mayor Niehaus also stated
that she is grateful for City Manager Linares and all City staff. Councilmember Duncan thanked
staff for being on the frontlines of the Council’s decisions.
Mayor Niehaus stated that the discussion would proceed to priorities and details. She stated that
the Blue Beam application is a great way to move forward in the planning department. She
wants to incentivize people to build ADU’s (accessory dwelling units) to aid in the housing
shortage. Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd wants clarification about community vision.
Councilmember Derasary states that she agrees with Councilmember Guzman-Newton
regarding water resources. Councilmember Duncan wants to focus on the overnight
accommodations process and maintaining the downtown area’s character.
Councilmember Jones stated that community vision statements need to go through a process
with the public to be created. Councilmember Derasary wants to hire a local consultant to assist
in the creation of the City’s community vision. Councilmember Jones said that the value is in the
process itself. City Manager Linares stated that the process leads to ownership. Mayor Niehaus
asked Councilmember Derasary for the contact information of the consultant that assisted
UMTRA with their vision statement. Councilmember Derasary stated that a consultant doesn’t
provide services for free. Mayor Niehaus and Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd both stated that
people in the community may want to volunteer for this project. Councilmember Guzman-
Page 6 of 7
February 9, 2019
Newton suggested a non-profit group from Colorado called Community Builders that could be
beneficial. City Manager Linares asked if this task should be city- or county-based.
Councilmembers Guzman-Newton and Derasary stated that the project should have a broader
view and be county-based.
City Manager Linares reiterated Council’s focal points to confirm understanding: finalize the
downtown plan, improve community outreach, create a community vision, improve water
conservation, review and update the City Code, finalize the budget for fiscal year 2021, discuss
taxes, review rates and impact fees, create a plan for electric transportation by 2030, and
emergency preparedness. Mayor Niehaus also stated that she wants a strategy for
councilmembers when they receive concerns from the community. Communications and
Engagement Director Church led a discussion about the differences between a town hall
meeting, public hearing, press conference, and focus group. She said that town hall meetings are
to receive input from the community on an issue prior to being presented before Council. These
meetings must be recorded, but they don’t require a structured format. She said that press
conferences are for things that are extremely important, such as when urgent information needs
to reach the public. For a small town, it may only be necessary to have three press conferences a
year. Communications and Engagement Director Church said that focus groups do not require
minute-taking, since they are not sanctioned by Council. It is an informal group of people
bouncing ideas off each other. City Manager Linares said that focus groups can be recorded and
broadcasted. Communications and Engagement Director Church stated that she likes utilizing
neighborhood meetings, because the people involved are invested in the topic. Mayor Niehaus
requested clarification between public hearings and town hall meetings. Communications and
Engagement Director Church stated that a public hearing is required for Council meetings
regarding a specific topic. Councilmember Jones would like a plan to know which tool is best for
each topic. Communications and Engagement Director Church stated that Council needs to
create an engagement plan. Councilmember Jones wants to utilize an online survey program to
get the pulse of the town regarding some topics. Communications and Engagement Director
Church stated that online surveys are a great tool and have high levels of participation.
Mayor Niehaus expressed concerns about the possible decrease in international tourism this
year due to the Coronavirus. She asked Council if they should meet to discuss a City property tax
to increase revenue. Councilmember Jones said yes. City Manager Linares said that a property
tax in a small amount can still raise a lot of revenue. He knows that many people with second
homes located in Moab are not paying taxes to the City for their properties. This means that
these homeowners are not contributing to the costs of the City while reaping the benefits. He
also mentioned the RAP tax that is in progress as another revenue source. He stated that Zions
Public Finance will present to Council ways to improve the financial standing of the City.
Finance Director Stenta said that the City does not currently have a revenue stream for roads.
She stated that the property tax could create revenue for the road improvements. However, once
the property tax is set for a specific purpose, the funds can’t be redirected anywhere else (i.e.
operations). Councilmember Jones said that forward-looking communication will be essential
because taxes are never popular. Councilmember Duncan proposed a delay in discussing the
property tax with the public. He stated that, if the City shows that it has cut $1.2 million in
funding first, it may make the property tax more saleable. City Manager Linares said that we are
the only City in the state that doesn’t have a property tax. Mayor Niehaus asked Council if the
direction to staff is to come up with a communication plan for the property tax. Councilmember
Duncan said that he is not in agreement yet. City Manager Linares said that staff will put
together a plan for implementing a property tax. He said that, in a few months, the information
will be provided to Council. Mayor Niehaus requested that the property tax plan remain off
Council agendas for at least a year. Finance Director Stenta stated that the topic won’t get the
Page 7 of 7
February 9, 2019
same level of buy-in if it’s only being discussed by staff. City Manager Linares said that staff will
create a plan and review it with Council in April. Mayor Niehaus said that she wants the plan
discussed informally and not as an agenda item.
Adjournment: Councilmember Duncan moved to adjourn the meeting. Councilmember
Guzman-Newton seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mayor Niehaus
adjourned the meeting at 4:01 PM.

Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: March 24, 2020
Title: Approval of Proposed Resolution #11-2020 – Amending the Fiscal Year
2019/2020 Budget
Date Submitted: March 18, 2020
Presenter: Rachel Stenta, Finance Director
Attachment(s):
1) Draft Resolution #11-2020
Background/Summary:
Since the public hearing on February 25, 2020, one change has been made to the
proposed resolution as outlined below:
Capital Projects Fund:
The Millcreek Drive West Project (USU/Aggie Blvd) was not included in this fiscal year’s
budget as the department thought that the project would be completed in the last fiscal
year. The project spanned into this fiscal year and - as presented by the Engineering
Department - the project is now closed out. The expenses added into the budget
through this resolution are offset by revenues from the escrow account which represent
CIB funds, SITLA funds, Grand County funds and Moab City funds.
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.

and Terminating the Design Contract for the Downtown Parking Structure Project and
Directing Coordination with UDOT and Grand County to Pursue Alternative Projects for
Hotspot Funding

Options: Approve, deny, or modify
Recommended Motion: I move to approve Resolution 15-2020, A Resolution Directing the
Renegotiation of the UDOT Agreement and Terminating the Design Contract for the Downtown
Parking Structure Project and Directing Coordination with UDOT and Grand County to Pursue
Alternative Projects for Hotspot Funding
Background/Summary:
In 2019, the UDOT was tasked with administering the distribution of $100 million of “Hotspot”
funding to areas with significant congestion related to recreation and tourism activity, for
transportation improvements which met the three broad goals set by the Utah Legislature of
congestion reduction, improved recreation access, and economic development, and which would
be awarded via a competitive process. Moab was identified as one of these Hotspot regions
eligible for funds.
UDOT implemented a stakeholder group and process in the Moab area to identify capital
projects which would score well in more detailed criteria established by UDOT. The stakeholder
group identified a range of possible projects, which were scored relative to more granular
criteria descending from the broad goals set by the Legislature. The projects identified from this
process were one or more parking structures in downtown Moab, more efficient use of existing
surface parking lots (“dispersed parking”) serving other areas and additional vehicle types, and
191/Main St. improvements to increase pedestrian safety and calm traffic.
$10 million was awarded to Moab for these projects, the majority going to the design and
construction of the Downtown Parking Structure (DPS). On May 28, 2019, the City Council
approved a Cooperative Agreement with UDOT for the design and construction of the DPS, and
in October 2019, the City Council approved a contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates, for
DPS design work.
Recently, issues regarding the DPS as not being an optimal use of Hotspot funds has grown
because of the expense of the project, lack of community engagement at the beginning of the
selection process, and the specificity of the location. Currently, in the absence of public and
the majority of downtown business support and lack of endorsement to spend public funds on
the DPS from both local government bodies, some members of the City Council have expressed
a desire to select an alternative project for the Hotspot money. UDOT and the Transportation
Commission have given the City until September 1, 2020 to identify and define this alternative
project or projects. To this end, the proposed resolution provides for the following process to
develop Hotspot-funded project alternatives:
1.A “stop work” order will be issued for the Kimley-Horn design contract; and City staff
will develop a path forward to renegotiate the Cooperative Agreement with UDOT.
2.City staff will engage with UDOT to determine a process by which an alternative
project or projects may be identified and selected for the Hotspot Funds. Grand
County will also be engaged to participate in these efforts.
3.The City will coordinate with Grand County to form the Arches Hotspot Region
Coordinating Committee, a body which will be used to identify and evaluate potential
projects, and help to determine the alternative project or projects to be paid for using
the Hotspot Funds.
RESOLUTION NO. 15-2020
A RESOLUTION DIRECTING THE RENEGOTIATION OF THE UDOT AGREEMENT
AND TERMINATING THE DESIGN CONTRACT FOR THE DOWNTOWN PARKING
STRUCTURE PROJECT & DIRECTING COORDINATION WITH UDOT & GRAND
COUNTY TO PURSUE ALTERNATIVE PROJECTS FOR HOTSPOT FUNDING
WHEREAS, significant investments have been made in delivering a Downtown Parking
Structure (DPS); and
WHEREAS, the primary need for the DPS as identified in the 2017 UDOT Region 4 Arches
Hotspot Study was to replace on-street parking lost as part of Main Street Improvements, but that
those Improvements were rejected by residents and Council who objected to loss of on-street
parking; and
WHEREAS, building private vehicle capacity, including parking, does not always lead to
congestion reduction, and capital projects other than the DPS may result in better long-term
satisfaction of Hotspot program goals and community priorities; and
WHEREAS, the DPS, according to the Downtown Parking Study, primarily benefits businesses
within 600 feet of the structure, that is a limited number of businesses, and thus is a poorer use of
public funds than dispersed parking or a regional shuttle which benefits a broader number of
businesses; and
WHEREAS, DPS design has changed significantly from its original less-intrusive, partially
buried bottom floor, and two additional stories, to an imposing and view-shed blocking four
story structure of 42 feet including its roof parapets; and
WHEREAS, the DPS, still early in its design phase, has already incurred significant cost
overruns forcing the adoption of structural construction techniques that trade lower construction
cost for increased maintenance cost during its life; and
WHEREAS, the DPS will incur significantly higher maintenance cost than the existing surface
lot, with poor prospects for offsetting revenue whether it charges for parking or not, since
according to the Downtown Parking Study the lot is often under-utilized; and
WHEREAS, the DPS cannot accommodate over-sized vehicles, a critical parking need; and
WHEREAS, UDOT is receptive to the redirection of Hotspot Funding if an alternative project
achieves the goals of reducing congestion, increasing economic development, and increasing
tourism opportunities; and
WHEREAS, alternate uses of DPS funds have been identified that may satisfy the above
criteria;
WHEREAS, Moab City is currently partnering with Grand County and UDOT on a series of
comprehensive transportation planning efforts, and is committed to improving transportation
throughout Spanish Valley including Moab City, but as currently sequenced the transit
component will not be complete until well after the Hotspot funding opportunity is passed; and
WHEREAS, meetings of UDOT staff and local advisory bodies convened by UDOT are not
subject to the conditions of Utah Open and Public Meetings Act; and
WHEREAS, Moab City officials and residents value government transparency, and Moab City
is committed to and capable of providing meeting noticing and record keeping facilitation, as
well as other public engagement tools; and
WHEREAS, given a UDOT project may fall either entirely within or without Moab City limits,
or include both Moab City and Grand County; and
WHEREAS, Moab City is interested in cooperating with Grand County to deliver services to
their shared constituents more efficiently, Moab elected officials are accountable first and
foremost to the citizens within their jurisdictional boundary, and Moab officials desire to
cooperate with the County on projects which include both their areas, and retain the authority
over projects entirely within City limits; and
WHEREAS, the Moab City Council believes that, despite the previous investments of time,
money, goodwill, public process, and commitments made, on balance the interests of Moab and
the satisfaction of the Hotspot criteria may be better served by project(s) other than the DPS.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MOAB, UTAH that:
1)The City Council directs the City Manager to issue a “stop work” order to Kimley-Horn
to cease work on design for the DPS;
2)The City Council directs City staff to seek clarity from UDOT regarding the measures by
which alternative projects will be evaluated to meet Hotspot Funding criteria, and any
UDOT submittal requirements in order to develop projects that meet the criteria of the
Hotspot Funding Program and which the City anticipates would garner community and
local leadership support. City Staff shall engage with relevant parties at Grand County
and UDOT to determine the feasibility, cost, and staffing needs to quickly develop
alternative Hotspot-funded projects. This information shall be brought to City Council,
and County Council should their leadership so choose, for consideration;
3)The City Council directs the City Manager to renegotiate the Cooperative Agreement
with UDOT, dated July 22, 2019, in a way that minimizes legal and financial risk to the
City and the goals outlined in item #2 above;
4)The City Council directs the City Manager, following the renegotiation discussions with
UDOT, to produce to the City Council a proposed framework and process to accomplish
the goals outlined in item #2 above;
5)If UDOT and the City Council agree to terminate the July 22, 2019 Cooperative
Agreement, the City Council directs the City Manager to terminate the City’s consulting
services agreement with Kimley-Horn, dated October 24, 2019; and
6)City Council and City staff will coordinate with Grand County Council to form the
“Arches Hotspot Region Coordinating Committee,” which shall consist of seven (7)
members. The City Council shall establish the Hotspot Region Coordinating Committee
by resolution or ordinance, with clarity as to appointing authority, membership,
organization, purpose, authority, and expiration date. The Arches Hotspot Regional
Coordinating Committee shall provide noticing and record keeping in compliance with
the Utah Open and Public Meetings Act. City staff shall consult with the Council on other
public engagement tools and efforts for this process. Transparency and public
involvement shall be prioritized in the definition of alternative projects.
PASSED AND ADOPTED in open Council by a majority vote of the Governing Body of the
City of Moab this xxth day of March, 2020.

SUBJECT: Recreational Hotspot Funding
The Transportation Commission and UDOT understand there are challenges when
developing project(s) that meet the criteria of the Hotspot Funding and garner the support of
the community and local leadership. UDOT and the Transportation Commission want all parties
to be successful in any project that is carried forward.
UDOT and the Transportation Commission support a collaborative process to define a
project that meets the requirements of the Recreation Hotspot funding and has consensus
support from the community and local officials. We understand there have been questions
regarding time frame for delivering a hotspot project and would like to offer additional time of
up to six months to work through the project selection process. Please work towards the goal of
having a project defined by September 1, 2020. The Region 4 leadership and staff are eager to
offer technical assistance to help move the process forward.
For clarity, following are the requirements of the Recreation Hotspot funding
from Senate Bill 277:
(b) $100,000,000 to be used by the Department of Transportation for transportation
improvements as prioritized by the Transportation Commission for projects that: (i)
have a significant economic development impact associated with recreation and tourism
within the state; and (ii) address significant needs for congestion mitigation.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have further questions.

THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into on the 07/22/19 by and between the UTAH DEPARTMENT
OF TRANSPORTATION, hereinafter referred to as "UDOT", and I The City of Moab I, a political subdivision of
the State of Utah, hereinafter referred to as the "Local Agency."
The Moab area has been identified for transportation improvements in area with recreation and tourism activity
that experiences significant congestion. Moab City is receiving money designated for this purpose in SB 277
(2017). The Transportation Commission has funded a parking structure in downtown Moab City. Subject to
the attached provisions, Local Agency will perform the Work for the Project. UDOT will not provide any
additional funds beyond the lump sum payment amount of $8,300,000.00.
Description of Work:
Moab City will construct a parking structure in downtown Moab to accommodate 320 parking stalls, The structure will
be 4 levels, 3 above ground and 1 below. The chosen location for this structure is on City owned land located mid -block
between 100 N and Center Street. The City of Moab will contract engineering, architectural, and any additional services
needed to deliver the project for advertisement within 14 months from the effective date of this agreement. No more
than 6% or $498,000 of these funds will be used for structural aesthetics. The City of Moab will also be responsible for
construction inspection and engineering management, UDOT will not be paying the City of Moab separately for any of
these costs. The City of Moab will own, operate, and maintain the parking facility. Any remaining funds from the
parking structure project will be used to further the design and construction of Main Street improvements from 100 S to
200 N as detailed in the funding request. UDOT will give The City of Moab $8,300,000 for this work. The City of
Moab is required to maximize the parking stall to extent feasible. The proposed structure is based on a few assumptions.
1. The parking structure will be four levels, but The City of Moab is concerned that ground water or utilities may
make a below ground level unfeasible, height limitations will only allow for 3 levels above ground. if the
structure is reduced to three levels, then 320 stalls may not be feasible.
2. Current plans also require some minor right-of-way acquisition, it appears the property owner is agreeable;
however, if this property cannot be acquired by The City of Moab, the lack of this right-of-way
may also reduce the number of stalls possible. I

Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: March 24, 2020
Title: Consideration of Proposed Resolution #05-2020 – Adopting the 2020-2024
Capital Improvement Project List
Date Submitted: March 4, 2020
Presenter: Rachel Stenta, Finance Director
Attachment(s):
1) Draft Resolution #05-2020
Background/Summary:
At the City Council meeting on December 10, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution
#51-2019 – Adopting a Capital Projects Prioritization Matrix for the City of Moab. The
Staff Capital Improvements Project (CIP) Committee has met for three sessions to apply
the newly adopted matrix to identified Capital Projects and has compiled the attached
rated and ranked Capital Improvements Project (CIP) list for Council review and
adoption.
The horizon of this CIP list is one to four years. Projects were rated beyond that
horizon, however staff felt that a four year horizon was the maximum that should be
addressed in this year’s process. This list is not inclusive of all identified Capital
Projects – it represents those projects identified as critical to complete in the one to four
year time frame. The CIP list should be updated and presented to Council annually for
adoption which will begin to capture longer horizon projects. Once this initial list is
approved by City Council, staff can begin the process of preparing project budgets,
identifying funding sources, prioritizing funding needs and then draft and present a
Capital Improvements Budget (CIB) and a Capital Improvements Financing Plan to City
Council – including a debt service forecast worksheet.
Please note that inclusion of any of these projects in the budget will depend
on the following:
• Availability of grant funding or other non-debt funding sources
• Availability of Cash for Pay-as-you-go projects
• Assessment of debt capacity for each existing revenue source
• Exploration of new revenue sources to expand debt capacity
• Ability of staff to manage and complete projects
• Council approval of project budgets
Given our budget constraints for the ensuing Fiscal Year, the only capital
projects that I anticipate presenting in our FYE 21 proposed budget will be
those with the highest proportion of outside, non-debt funding. We do not
have capacity for new debt and very limited cash for capital projects at
this time.
2
The Citywide proposed Capital Projects for FYE 21 are:
Project name: Condition of funding:
Kane Creek Road Construction If FLAP funding is approved
Walnut Lane Housing Project If grant or other outside funding is
secured
Downtown Parking Structure 100% outside funding is already
secured
Water Tank If CIB awards 100% grant
As previously discussed, the prioritization of capital projects is crucial to the financial
process of analyzing the annual debt repayment limit of the municipality and other
resource constraints. It is recommended that all proposed capital projects be assessed
using the Capital Projects Prioritization Matrix accompanied with a supplementary
financial analysis to determine the specific impact the project will have on tax revenue
allocations, user fees and the municipal tax rate, if applicable. This will assist Council
with an understanding of how a specific project ranks in relation to other capital
projects and the direct financial impact its implementation will have on residents.
Staff requests that the Council evaluate the prioritized project list and formally adopt it,
allowing staff to move forward with pursuing funding and financing resources.
Thank you for your consideration.

Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: March 24, 2020
Title: Approval of Proposed Resolution #08-2020 – Designating Depositories for Moab
City Funds
Date Submitted: February 28, 2020
Presenter: Rachel Stenta, Finance Director
Attachment(s):
1) Draft Resolution #08-2020
Background/Summary:
From time to time it is necessary to update the authorized staff members on our banking
accounts to approve disbursements. Each disbursement (check) requires two cross-
check signatures, one from the Treasurer’s office and one from the Recorder’s office. It’s
necessary to designate alternates to fill in on either side (but not both sides) if one office
is understaffed and unavailable to sign checks. During those absences, the alternates
would be the City Manager or the Assistant City Manager.
This resolution updates our Wells Fargo account with new staff in the Treasurer and
Administration departments. The second part of the resolution adds a backup to our
Public Treasurers Investment Fund (PTIF) account to transfer money into our Wells
Fargo account during the unlikely event of the combined absence of our Assistant City
Treasurer and City Manager. Personnel accessing this account can only transfer money
between the PTIF account and our Wells Fargo account – the only account that is
authorized for fund transfers.
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.
