Arts/Culture – Council Member Delbert Staheli

Presentation by the Washington County Fair Organizers – Brandon Epson, Fair Board Volunteer, introduced himself and gave a brief history of the Washington County Fair. The Fair has been held for 165 years. They receive over 2,000 entries annually, and will award about $62,000 prize money this year. There will be 3 concerts, a behind-the-scene tour of the Fair for hundreds of fourth graders from around the county, and free admission to encourage everyone to attend. The focus of the fair this year will be the 250-year anniversary of America. Council Member Delbert Staheli asked some questions about city’s display entry and found out that the dimensions of the booth are 10’ x 10’. Mr. Staheli shared a picture of the sketch for the art piece that Stefanie Moyle will be enlarging and putting on canvas with acrylics for our fair entry.

Administrative/Miscellaneous: Mayor Pro Tempore Roy Adams

Presentation and Consideration of the Audit for FY 2024/2025 – Adam Bowler

The auditor is sick, so he asked if Adam could present the audit tonight. This is considered an Unmodified Opinion. In other words, it is a clean audit and no one is going to jail. The City is in a good place financially. Assets in the government fund are at about $6.5 million, with about $5.5 million in the utility funds. The sewer bond will be paid off this year. There were no findings to report to the state, a better practice note was to make sure that we have Pelorus update the inventory before sending it to the auditor and to work on submitting stale checks to the Utah State website for unclaimed property. After a thorough review, Council Member Kanton Vause made a motion to Accept the FY 2024/2025 Audit conducted by Hafen/Buckner CPAs. The motion was seconded by Council Member Bill Fowler and unanimously approved.

Fraud Risk Assessment – The Council Reviewed the Fraud Risk Assessment prepared by City Administrator Adam Bowler. This is one part of a report that we are required to send to the state. It is essentially the same as it has been in past years. We are in the low-risk category. The only way to lower our risk assessment score would be to hire an in-house CPA or attorney. The assessment lists some of the things that we have in place to lower are risk of fraud. A motion was made by Council Member Kanton Vause to accept the Fraud Risk Assessment. The motion was seconded by Council Member Delbert Staheli and unanimously approved.

Ethical Behavior Pledge Forms – the Council took a moment to fill out and sign the Ethical Behavior forms. Required by the state.

Open/Public Meeting Training - By Adam Bowler – Each Council Member and the Mayor were given the included handout about Open Public Meetings for their own reference. The rules were reviewed and discussed. Questions were taken and answered. Council Member Justin Seegmiller provided a certificate of training for OPMA because he was unable to attend tonight. (See attachment). There have been a few changes to the OPMA about public notifications and posting methods but it is basically the same since conception. A 24-hour notice of meetings is required as well as all meetings being recorded. The public does not have to be allowed to interact, except during a public hearing, but Enterprise allows the 3-minute public comment time and questions and comments at the mayor’s discretion during meetings. There are only a few reasons to close a meeting from the public, which are listed in the handout. No vote can be taken in a closed meeting, and no policy changes can be agreed upon. This training is something that the Council and the Planning Commission is required to take part in every year.
