Mr. Fraizer talked about city equipment that is used for maintenance. There is a current proposal to lease two mowers for the park facility and sell the older equipment. Mayor Woolstenhulme said that there has been recent discussion with concerning engineering concerning the water and sewer and what needs to be prioritized. Mr. Frazier and City Treasurer, Konni Thompson, said they had reached out to Brian Baker, a Zions Bank representative to check on the status of the bond that pays for these projects. There was discussion about bond money and ensuring that the city knows how to book it. Specific bond money must be spent within two years. Oakley will have $196,000 in unrestricted funds. Legally a city can have up to $225,000 in unrestricted funds. Capital fund had a transfer from the general fund in the amount of $63,500. This included grant money that is used on the trails. Parks and Recreation are $75,00 for the next year. The amended amount in the sewer fund is $300,000 from capital. The goal is to have this fund operate on its own. Councilmember Hoggan asked how many years is left on the Municpal Building Authority and Mr. Frazier and Mayor Woolstenhulme informed her it is two years. Mr. Frazier pointed out that the GO Bond will be gone at the same time. With a GO Bond one can levy a tax equal to the payment. In 2022 the bond will go away, but Mr. Frazier recommends keeping the tax rate the same. It will not be an increase but maintain the same payment. The sewer fund has been running at a negative balance since it was started and an increase in fees is needed. Mr. Frazier recommended increasing rates by $10-25. There was general discussion about specific budget items and rates. Please see attached 2019-2020 budget for each item.

Wheelwright Zoning change & development agreement City Planner Amy Rydalch stated that again Mr. Wheelwright has come before the board to ask for the zone change on his property. There was a community meeting with Mayor Woolstenhulme, Councilmember Smart, City Planner Amy Rydalch, and representatives of each of the affected districts who met together to discuss the zoning change with the developer, Mr. Wheelwright, and his engineer. Ms. Rydalch pointed to proposed survey changes in a packet depicted in Attachment C. Mr. Wheelwright is proposed a change from SL- A 40 to SL - A5. He would be entitled to six lots under that zoning change, but is only seeking four lots of density. The developer agreed to address any drainage issues that arise, provide the city with a mitigation plan, and pay the city $1,000 to the engineer to work on behalf of the city to address drainage issues at the intersection between Weber Wild and Pinion Lane. The city will have to pay for any cost about $1,000. Access to Lot 1 will be from Pinion Lane, access to Lots 2-4 will be from Weber Wild Road. Secondary access from Pinion Lane will be restricted to emergency, construction, and agricultural access. The developer has agreed to the following concessions: - 23 feet along Weber Wild road to the city - $8,500 toward the improvement along Weber Wild and Pinion Road area - 15 foot strip of land along Pinion Lane to the city - Easement across the property to Dominion Energy - Will pay for annual share of assessments for weber wild road and a one-time donation of $5,000 - An easement onto the property for a turnaround along lot 56 (approved by the fire chief) All fencing will be done at the developer's expense. Councilmember Hoggan raised questions about the cost of engineering to the city. There was discussion about the drainage issue in the area and possible solutions. Tom has went over and looked at the property and will that solve the problem. Councilmember Wilmoth expressed concern over how many lots Mr. Wheelwright will be granted. Ms. Rydalch informed the council that they have control over how many lots are created in this agreement and that the zoning change discussed today would be made permanent if they vote in favor. There was discussion about Weber Wild Road (which is not an Oakley City road) and that the residents in that area will have to form their own HOA to make decisions. Councilmember Smart made a motion approve the zoning change to approve the applicants request for parcel 020T201 from SL-A40 to SL-A5 contingent upon, and not taking effect until all of the agreements have been enforced by June 10, 2019 with the following conditions forthwith and is signed and recorded. Councilman Frazier seconded. Passed 3:1 (Lorrie Hoggan voted against). D. Water Connection for Development homes in Annexation Area Ms. Rydalch said the city may want to investigate annexing homes that are in Oakley's annexation area, but are currently county land. The city may want to look at an arrangement with the county to have them connected to the city water and sewer system. It would increase user fees, hookup fees, and if the city provides it for a year they can initiate annexation. There was discussion about how the annexation would affect roads and other services. E. South Bench Ditch - David Lake David Lake shared information South Bench Ditch. Mr. Lake raised issues relating to water shares and reservoir water. Mr. Lake stated that they are considering leasing the water to pay for pipe and materials. They can lease the water to anyone who gets water from Weber River. Mr. Lake shared details of a proposal to lease the water. Mr. Lake proposed that the council do an investigation into exactly how much water the complex takes and consider using South Bench Ditch water. If the city opts to connect now, the construction fees may be lower. The city can connect at a later date; however, it may be at a higher cost. The council discussed and asked Mr. Lake more questions about details of the water shares. City councilmembers discussed water usage and needs. Please see Attachment C for details on the proposal. F. Updates on Councilman duties for the 4th of July The mayor went over the duties with the board. Councilmember Smart went over grant items and discussed ideas of grants to apply for and how to apply the money.
