Staff stated that the purpose of the Public Hearing is to provide citizens with pertinent information about the Community Development Block Grant program and to allow for discussion of possible applications for the upcoming (2026) funding cycle. It was explained that the grant money must be spent on projects benefitting primarily low and moderate-income persons. The Wasatch Regional Council, in which Marriott-Slaterville City is a member, is expecting to receive approximately $1,000,000 in this new program year. Staff reviewed past projects. All eligible activities that can be accomplished under the program are identified in the CDBG Application Policies and Procedures Manual and interested persons can review it at any time at the City. There were no public comments. President Illum closed the Public Hearing at 6:40 PM, by consent, and re-opened the Public Meeting. 5. Discussion/action on the 2026 Capital Investment Plan.

Illum closed the Public Hearing and re-opened the Public Meeting by acclamation. Vote was unanimous. 7. Discussion/action on Resolution adopting 2025 Secondary Water Conservation Plan. Mr. Slater inquired whether the City maintains water storage and whether Toads would continue to have access to water if sold, and if such access is protected. Mr. Morris responded that the City has ponds for water storage but does not own the water utilized by Toads. Motion by Vice-pres. Holley to approve Resolution 2025-N adopting 2025 Secondary Water Conservation Plan. Motion seconded by Mr. Christoffersen. Roll Call Vote: Mr. Slater - Aye Mr. Christoffersen - Aye Mr. Smout - Aye Vice-pres. Holley - Aye Pres. Illum - Aye Vote called and passed unanimously. 8. Discussion/action on Resolution adopting Interlocal Agreement relating to the Weber County Waste Transfer Station. Marriott-Slaterville City and the Weber County Waste Transfer Station have negotiated an Interlocal Agreement for the delivery of municipal waste and the provision of expanded services at the Weber County Transfer Station. This agreement is intended to provide long-term cost savings for City residents. The agreement includes an automatic renewal for successive five-year terms, unless terminated earlier, for a maximum term of twenty (20) years, ending December 31, 2045. Either party may terminate the agreement at any time by providing written notice to the other party at least two (2) years prior to the effective date of termination. Mr. Smout expressed concern that a two-year termination notice is excessive and suggested that a one-year notice period would be more practical. Mr. Slater inquired whether the City would be required to provide a two-year written notice if it elected to transition to a different service provider. Motion by Mr. Slater to approve Resolution 2025- O. Motion seconded by Mr. Christoffersen. Roll Call Vote: Mr. Slater - Aye Mr. Christoffersen - Aye Mr. Smout - Aye Vice-pres. Holley - Aye Pres. Illum - Aye Vote called and passed unanimously. 9. Discussion/action on Ordinance adopting Wildlands Urban Interface Code. The state legislature enacted House Bill 48 in 2025, entitled 'Wildland Urban Interface Modifications' that requires municipalities to adopt WUI building codes and standards, and to protect WUI areas and at-risk properties. The Utah Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands directed the City to create a high-risk WUI map, which the City incorporates into its existing Sensitive Lands/Hazard Area Overlay Map. The WUI Map identifies areas where structures are interspersed with wildland vegetation, posing threats to life, property, and public welfare. The City finds that adoption of the WUI Map and corresponding Ordinance promotes public safety, health, and community well-being. Implementation aligns with state guidance, ensures eligibility for state wildfire mitigation and response funding, and helps reduce wildfire risk. The City, in collaboration with Weber Fire District and relevant departments, has prepared the WUI Map. Areas identified consider historical wildfire activity, vegetation, fuels, topography, and structural exposure. Adoption of the WUI Map and associated building standards is consistent with the City's obligation under the State mandate. The City seeks to formally adopt the WUI Map and associated Ordinance to comply with House Bill 48, enhance public safety, and maintain eligibility for state funding. Mr. Christoffersen asked why this ordinance is needed. Staff indicated it is mandated by state law and may affect reimbursement of the fire district receiving state funds. Mr. Slater asked who makes the maps. Mr. Morris said that the City will add this to our Sensitive Lands Map and the State Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands will create its own map. Motion by Vice-pres. Holley to approve Ordinance 2025-11 adopting Wildlands Urban Interface Code. Motion seconded by Mr. Slater. Roll Call Vote: Mr. Slater - Aye Mr. Christoffersen - Aye Mr. Smout - Aye Vice-pres. Holley - Aye Pres. Illum - Aye Vote called and passed unanimously. 10.

He recommended meeting with the new Council member to review each memo related to Development, Business License, and Infrastructure Updates in advance, to minimize the need for detailed discussion at each meeting. He further encouraged all Council members to review the memos beforehand and bring any questions to the meetings. 11. Adjourn. Being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 7:32 PM.
