The agenda for the meeting is as follows: Call to Order Invocation Flag Salute 1. Consent Calendar. a. Consider approval of a Federal Aid Agreement with UDOT for the Foremaster Dr. Culvert Replacement Project. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The Rim Rock Wash corrugated metal pipe culverts under Foremaster Dr were installed in the 90s. The City was awarded $1,838,496 from the State bridge replacement funds with a local match of $133,504 (6.77%) to replace the culverts. Because these funds were not planned to be available for another year, this project was not in the Public Works Capital Projects for this current fiscal year. As such, this project will require a budget amendment. During the recent Aug 23/24 storm event, the culverts under Foremaster Dr have been damaged which has necessitated the need to move this project forward. Staff recommends approval. b. Consider approval of a new hangar lease with Northcom 74, LLC for Hangar Lots 56k & 57L. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: Gordon Rock (St. George Hangar, LLC) is selling his hangars on lots 56k & 57L to Brett Broadhead (Northcom 74, LLC). This new hangar lease is with Northcom 74, LLC. Staff recommends approval. c. Consider approval of an addendum to the Greater Together Small Business Resilience Fund Agreement with the St. George Chamber Foundation to convert the City's original $250,000 zero-interest loan contribution to a grant. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The Greater Together Small Business Resilience Fund was created in Spring 2020 to provide local small businesses with COVID-19 relief until Federal or other funding was available. These zero-interest loans could be used only for COVID-19 related expenses, which are also CARES Act eligible costs. Converting the funds to a grant allows the City to reimburse itself from its Cares Act allocation and the appropriate percentage of the total original loan amount to be forgiven, further assisting local small businesses in this challenging time. Staff recommends approval. d. Consider approval of Addendum #7 to the Tech Ridge Purchase and Option Agreement for the takedown of 35.74 acres of retired St. George Airport property and to extend the Development Agreement deadline to March 31, 2021. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: Takedown 2 includes 30.23 acres of property west of Dixie Technical College and the Tech Office parcel and 5.51 acres of Trail Head property on Tech Ridge. The takedown is consistent with the original agreement and includes an additional $717,000 in verified in-kind work for hillside storm drain and piping material costs. Addendum #7 also extends the Development Agreement deadline to March 31, 2021. Staff recommends approval. e.

This application fits within the required time period. St. George Rehabilitation is an existing business located at this location. The property has faced extensive damages during the recent flooding and would like to remodel as they make their repairs. The proposed general plan amendment would allow for a potential zone change needed for renovations to occur and be in compliance with current code.
