Consider approval of Amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement between the City of St George and Jviation, A Woolpert Company for the design of the 'Reconstruct and Expand Terminal Apron Project' - AIP-43. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The City of St George and Jviation, A Woolpert Company entered into a Professional Services Agreement on September 23, 2021 for engineering services at the St George Regional Airport. This is the 1st Amendment to this agreement for the design of the 'Reconstruct and Expand Terminal Apron Project' - AIP-43. This project will be paid for with federal airport grant revenues.

Consider approval of a deed of dedication for public right-of-way for Snow Canyon Parkway, north of the intersection of Snow Canyon Parkway and Dixie Downs Road. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The deceleration lane from Snow Canyon Parkway to Dixie Downs Road was constructed a number of years ago but the dedication of the deceleration lane as public right-of-way did not occur when the lane was constructed.

Maverik has agreed to dedicate the right-of-way and has prepared the deed of dedication. Staff recommends approval. i. Consider acceptance of a municipal utility easement for a culinary water booster pump station in the Divario development. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: In order to develop a portion of the Divario development, a culinary water booster pump is required to provide the necessary water pressure. The booster pump was constructed by the developer and turned over to the City to own, operate, and maintain. The parcel of land that the booster pump occupies was not included in the final plat of the subdivision where the site is located. The pump station site will be included in the final plat of an adjacent and subsequent phase of the development. Until then, we have asked the developer to provide a municipal utility easement of the pump station site. In the near future, the site will be included in a final plat and deeded to the City. Staff recommends approval. j. Consider approval of a quitclaim deed quitclaiming 50% of City ownership of a portion of 3000 East to Washington County. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The Council of Governments (COG) is made up of local elected officials and is managed by the Washington County Commission. The COG manages funds appropriated by the State of Utah to purchase right-of-way for major future roads within the city. When funds are approved by the COG to purchase right-of-way, their rules require that the ownership be placed 50% in Washington County's name and 50% in the City until construction is complete. The simplest way to accomplish this is for the city to purchase the property in the city's name using appropriated COG funds, and then quitclaim 50% interest back to Washington County. Staff recommends approval. k. Consider approval of a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of St. George and G-Six Investments, LLC (the Glendenning family) regarding property located at 76 Tabernacle Street.

In so doing, repairs and changes to the City's building(s) regarding eave overhangs and water drainage are required. G-Six has agreed to make those repairs at their cost. G-Six also seeks to bury the current overhead powerlines to that building and seeks to work with the Energy Services department to contribute to the costs associated with burying those lines. In addition, the Theater was expanded across a pedestrian easement granted to the former owner and the City has agreed to relocate that easement on the west side of the Theater building. The applicant has also asked for a temporary construction easement on City owned property while they remodel. Staff recommends approval. l. Consider approval of a hangar lease with the Division of Facilities Construction and Management and Department of Public Safety. BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: The State, through the Department of Public Safety and the Division of Facilities Construction and Management, desires to lease hangar space to house and operate a helicopter to be used for emergency transport. Because this is a benefit to the City, the agreement requires only a nominal rent. In addition to the lease, the State desires to construct improvements to the hangar to include office space. The City is agreeing to hire and pay the contractor to be reimbursed by the State in the amount of $198,500. Staff recommends approval subject to review and approval of the agreement by the Legal Department. 3.
