Amalga Town Council will hold a public hearing followed by the monthly town council meeting Wednesday September 10, 2025 at 7:00 o at the Amalga town hall 6590 N 2400 W AMALGA, UTAH Agenda as follows: 1. Welcome / Pledge of allegiance. Given By: 2. Roll call Dave Wood Mayor, Paul Hansen Council Member, Mark Cowley Council Member, Colette Dursteler Council Member, Shantrell Ritter Clerk, Ken Allsop, Charlie Erickson, Ed Dursteler 3. Approve Minutes of August 13th, 2025, meeting a. Motion to Approve Colette Dursteler b. 2nd Dave Lee 4. Vote on Proposed Accessory apartment Ordinance by Howard Kunz. a. Colette Dursteler: Utah league of Cities and towns Talks about the missing middle how cities are responsible for Affordable housing. Why Accesory Dwelling units? It helps single family income it helps family stay together eventually as a town we will be required moderate housing. Feels like this is needed and we should consider it b. Mark Cowley: If we were to pass this would existing structures be grandfathered in? Dave Lee: read the ordinance as written. I would think though before the county issued an occupancy permit they would have to inspect it. c. Dave Lee: I don't think we can look at this as a solution for low-cost housing. We need to listen to people. d. Colette: e. Dave wood: This has been going on a long time. Planning and zoning voted it down. And they advised us to vote down. It is our responsibility to listen to them. We need to do more study on this. f. Dave Lee: Not against it but wondering if it's the right time now. Our responsibility is to make sure things are safe. g. Paul Hansen: In agreement with the previous comments But we still need to consider the safety issues. Doesn't think there is enough rules to cover us. i. For: Colette Dursteler ii. Against: Mark Cowley, Dave Lee, Paul Hansen, Dave Wood 5. Vote on Proposed Accessory Farm workers housing Ordinance by Sid Munk a. Dave Lee: A lot of people when they came to the public hearing said what if. What if it does not apply. What I like about this is it has a very narrow definition. b. Dave Wood: We have a mobile home ordinance already. I think approval this will open it up to problems I think it is too soon to open this up. c. Colette Dursteler: Is opposite of Dave Lee's opinion. Concerned about the safety of the building. Dave Lee: The county must come out and do a building permit. Are we changing this to accommodate someone who has already done what they want already? I don't think that is fair. d. Paul Hansen: Maybe this would be intriguing to me if it was opened up to any worker. e. Mark Cowley: River haven LLC part of the S&S Munk farms. Dave Lee: It is hard to tell by looking at the map. f. Ken Allsop: Discussions that have come up among the council and the Public don't make sense. Because instead of bringing in more mobile homes they are improving their property. Thinking this will help more people than just Munks. g. Mark Cowley: I have come to the public hearings, and I have not heard there is a lot of support for this. i. For: Dave Lee ii. Against: Colette Dursteler, MarkCowley, Paul Hansen, Dave Wood 6. Sheriff Report- Not in attendance and have not received this months report 7. Charlie Erickson discuss annexation. a. Same plan. b.

Paul: I have drove by the one in Lewiston and it looks nice. Answer: We want it to look nice with a store front. d. Dave Lee: This presents several questions for Planning and zoning. If you are purchasing and selling those lots they will have to be 2 acres. Charlie: Would that be per business or per lot? Dave Lee: That would be per lot and then there would have to be public street. Charlie: Our plan is to put in the roads and then give them to the city or it could be made into a HOA. I wish it was in closer to the town. e. Colette Dursteler: if these went in would this be beneficial on a tax base? Not sure. f. Charlie: The thing about this is that . g. Ed Dursteler: I will be buying one of these if these come available, Because there is nothing here in the valley for my construction company. h. Dave Lee: Can we get the water down there. Mark Cowley: My concern is the south line and how much water would be used? i. Mark Cowley: Will be talking to our engineers in regards to the water. j.
