Municipal Council - Regular Meeting

State your name, please state your city of residence as well and take three minutes or less. And with that, I will open the microphone.

How are you, Josh?

I'm just wondering how that watershed project is looking. Have we tabled it yet? Or have we gotten rid of it yet? I'm hoping so. It's a bad, bad plan. You guys know how much pushback we've had at that meeting. There's some underlying things about it that I've been wondering about and that is, I've actually brought it up numerous times, you know, on social media about some underlying things about it. Drying up, you know, areas. When you take water and you put it through the pipe, saturation doesn't happen. So you start to empty out aquifers, natural running water underground. Most of us just see water above ground and think, you know, we're okay. But when you start piping it, it's not okay. There's a lot of creatures, a lot of necessary necessities with that water that runs through the city. And yeah, piping that is just one of the worst things that Logan could possibly do. I mean, we'd be looking at maybe some flood zones getting dried up. Rich for development if we do that. Yeah, it's just a really bad idea. I think it needs to be shot completely out of existence. Opening that book is really, really bad. Sorry if I'm going back and forth. I hope you guys figure out to get rid of it. Is it still going on? Are we still discussing it? You're on the water district.

Go ahead and answer.

The draft environmental impact statement is completed and was presented to the sponsors of the project. I believe that those sponsors have signed off on that statement and it sits where it is until such time as anybody could possibly acquire funding to do any portion of it. I know that the Crockett Avenue Irrigation Company has submitted some grant requests to redo the diversion. on the island right by, I don't know exactly where it's located, but to redo that diversion because it gets blocked easily and so it needs to be redone. Beyond that, nothing has been started or anticipated to be done in the near future because of the cost.

Okay. So thank you, thank you, Josh.

My name is Eric from the city of Logan. I just wanted to come and follow up from our. Our meeting two weeks ago on one of the petitioners signed the paper and we were looking to get information on the 99 foot right-of-way and the recorded deed and proof of that and we haven't heard anything. So I'm here to ask when we might hear something, who would I contact to get more information on this 99 foot right-of-way, the recorded deed, what the status is? How do I get that information?

Thank you, Eric. Can we get back to you? Can I have staff get back to you with that once they have all the information? Do you know when I...

I don't have a deadline that I know they'll have that for. Or is there somebody I can keep contacting and keeping the bug in their ear so this doesn't go by the wayside too much? It won't go by the wayside, but yeah. Because it's been going on for probably over a month now and nothing sells.

Yeah. Can I have staff get back to you? I don't have a deadline when they will, but we will talk with staff and get back to you.

Do you have any information? It's in process and it'll be produced shortly. It'll be finished shortly. Okay. I'll be in contact more.

Thank you. You are always welcome to email. It will not fall by the wayside. We'll get you the info.

Okay. Thank you.

Seeing no one else, we will close our public comments and questions. And we will move to mayor and staff reports, which there's nothing on the agenda.

I do not have any mayor staff reports.

Make sure. Okay. Perfect. Thank you for asking. I'll always triple check. And then we'll move on to council business. And we'll start with planning commission update.

Gene? Planning commission met not last Thursday and they had two items on the agenda. One is called the Redfield Tower Extension, which is a request to make a tower taller. A communication tower. 10 feet. A tower tower. I can't say it twice. 770 South, 80 East in the Woodruff neighborhood. There were some conditions put on that. They had to provide some data in order to get the extension of the tower. So that's pending with staff. The other item that was discussed is a rezone and that will come to us. We'll probably hear the workshop in two weeks or workshop tonight. Yep, workshop.

Two weeks. Two weeks, okay.

I thought it was two weeks. He's like, over here, Gordon.

Sorry, so I know so we'll workshop it in two weeks and vote on it after that so Okay Now's the time for council announcements This is time for any council member who has something they feel is pertinent to bring up before the council or the public I have set them and we met with the or I met with the Parks and Rec board last week It's the first one we've had

since a couple months summer hiatus that they do because summer's so busy. But just wanted to announce that the pool will be closing after Labor Day. And then also they're still looking for a lot of volunteers for the day of service, which is September 11th. It is a Friday, which is kind of hard for people to go on Fridays and we discussed that, but it's what they've been asked to do is have day of service on the actual day, September 11th. If you are available and interested in serving, go to justserve.org to sign up. There's a bunch of projects throughout the city that can be done.

A couple of the city's projects are completely full.

A couple are, but there's still a lot more.

There's still plenty to participate in, and they're all really great projects. But we've had a lot of response already, and we're hoping to see more in the next week. So there's some really great opportunities to serve in the city. So please try and take advantage of it. It's a great, great time.

Yeah, it is. And I also got to go to Logan High School today during their rush week for their clubs to encourage youth to join the Youth City Council. And it's fun to see how many we got to sign up and hopefully they stay engaged in Our City Matters.

Thank you, Melissa.

So I can talk a little bit about one of the committees that I'm involved in is the CASH Metropolitan Planning Organization and otherwise known as Building Roads in the entire area. So we passed a proposed, we call it a transportation infrastructure plan for the next 10 years that sort of gives highlights on where the roads are planned, what projects are planned for that time period, and what the status is of their funding. You can always go to the CMPO website and read through it if you'd like. The next step for this year is to allocate some federal and state funding that we have toward road construction. That will happen in the next month or two. But the advanced air mobility discussion is really interesting. That's right. We had a lot of Jetson talk. There's a significant investment occurring in the state of Utah and several other states to increase Air mobility to transportation, both for individuals and groups. So a taxi as well as an individual transport as well as package delivery. Um, a lot of work with drones and, um, electric vehicles. And we're well-positioned in Utah, especially in Cache Valley, because of Aspire at the university. And we also have a high-end battery manufacturer that is in North Logan right on the edge of the airport. And we've been working in that space for quite a long time. And they're plowing right ahead so they can be transporting people all over for the Olympics in 34.

So it'll be zoom, zoom. Can I ask a question about that? Do we as a city have to have ordinances in place? Yes. We discussed that yesterday. Because that drone, that's a lot of noise. No, there's no noise. No noise with the drones?

The mice don't make noise.

But it's like a...

It's like a giant swarm of bees. So we're aware of the ordinance issue and if anybody comes and we don't have an ordinance in place, kind of like what we just dealt with with the data centers, then...

They can do whatever they talked a lot about help pads and things, you know, and draw ports locations for them to land as well as. The whatever ordinances we might have with them flying above our heads. Yeah.

So it was a really good presentation.

Thank you for reminding me.

I was impressed with what they're doing and it sounds like the state is willing to invest a lot of money in this before the Olympics. To try and make it happen, and they have a lot of federal funding for it as well, too. So it'll be interesting to see. I have a couple of announcements too. Can I participate here? Yes, Mayor. All right, thank you. As long as they're not my announcements. The 9-11 stair climb is coming up.

On 9-11?

On 9-11 for obvious reasons.

If we stair climb, we can't volunteer, we'll be dead.

Go volunteer and then you go stair climb afterwards. So I think the registration starts at five and the event starts at six and we participated the last, I'll be there this year. Two years, yeah. I wasn't last year, but I was the year before. That's right, that's right.

I participated last year. It's in the evening. We volunteer all day and stuff all night.

It's a good experience. You get to find out how many stairs up and down those firefighters and first responders did. It's a lot of stairs. It's a lot of stairs, and your calves will hurt the next day, and you cannot walk down the stairs. I can still walk up the stairs, but you cannot walk downstairs easily after that.

I cannot wait. Yeah.

Was it like 2000? Yeah, it's 2007 stairs. It's every stair in Maverick Stadium. Bob's Stadium now, yeah. Yeah, so stair climb is a great experience. It is worth it. You do not have to do every stair.

And you do not have to be fully clothed in 60 pounds of... You do have to be fully clothed.

Yeah, fully clothed is good.

I'm just clarifying for the public record.

Firefighter gear is not essential. Correct. And Senator Curtis's staff is coming tomorrow and we're actually going to do a tour of the water tank and the water infrastructure that we're doing, which they asked for specifically. And for Josh, I'm taking them to see the diversion at Crockett. Yeah. So I think that will be really good. Josh left, didn't he?

Dang it.

Oh, well, but I thought that was significant that they want to come and see what's happening here in Cache Valley. So spending some time with Senator Curtis's staff tomorrow. Yeah, that will be there, I'm sure.

Yeah, I'm sure that will be there. That's all I've got. I've got a couple very short things. Jeannie, Mayor, and Melissa and I spent two days at a power conference that was conveniently held in Logan this week for UAMS, which I always feel like is a great education. And then Mayor Anderson and I participated in the first Logan Cash Airport Sponsor Board last Friday, which is good to see some new organization there at the airport. We'll have to figure out how everything's working, but it is good to see some changes there. Any other update?

The Fine Arts Committee met, I guess it was last week, and so the city budgeted $24,000 this year for fine arts and there were so it's it's a very small amount total that we're able to allocate to support our projects and there were 19 applications requesting a total of $58,000. So more than, of course, we had funding for. Ernesto also sits on that committee. And so we made the decisions and reviewed those proposals and those notifications. I suspect we'll be going out soon to let the recipients know.

It was nice to see that there were like six or seven brand new I thought that was great that you were able to allocate even just a little bit of money to some new participants.

We also talked about some potential adjustments on the grant process next year, some improvements that we think should be made both in the application as well as the The grading. Yes, the considerations that we are using to score and make funding decisions for those. So that's something people can expect to see. That's it.

Yeah. I also wanted to maybe ask Craig. We've received quite a few emails regarding the Canyon Road. project and we feel it'd be helpful to kind of be reminded about the responsibilities of our two branches of government, especially when it comes to projects like this.

Craig. Yeah. In Utah, there are various forms of government that a city can adopt. One of those is the strong mayor form of government. And that's what Logan City operates under, the strong mayor form of government, which is a true separation of powers between the executive branch and the legislative branch. So there's no overlap between those two branches of government. So all the legislative powers reside in the city council. So you make decisions regarding budget, passing laws, resolutions. The mayor cannot make any of those decisions. The executive function resides with the executive branch, and the mayor is the chief executive officer of the executive branch. So implementation of the budget and projects and things are decisions made by the executive staff. So the council wouldn't make those decisions. The executive staff would make those decisions.

And the mayor is overall?

Thank you.

And one more thing. He can buy property but not sell it without our permission?

Is that correct?

No, he can sell property but not buy it. Sell it without buying it. Sorry, I got it backwards. But we do have notification.

Yeah, on a significant parcel of property, there's a public care requirement and the council's involved to give input. So anything over $100,000.

Any further announcements or discussion from the council? Okay, we'll move on into our agenda items. We've got two action items today, with the first one being a budget adjustment. Rich, do you wanna give us a little bit of a run through on that one?

Sure, it's the most exciting part of our meeting. We're requesting to appropriate $883,206 of Enterprise fund reserves from various enterprise funds. For new utility building software, this would pay for the implementation of that software as well as the 1st year of. Software as a service fee, which means it would be housed. Not on our own servers, but on the servers of the provider. The breakout is approximately $730,000 for implementation, so it's quite sizable. And annual implementation fees, the first year is $150,000. We expect those to go up in future years. That's kind of for the base service. There are various services, and they charge you as you use them. If you want an AI agent or the ability to chat, the ability to receive IVR payments or various other things could increase those annual fees, but those will be part of the annual budget in the future. Next is a request to appropriate 172,366 for our portion of the populate our population allocation from the wraps tax for parks and rec projects. Request appropriate 126,624 for after school programs. Unfortunately, those have. Decreased in dollar amount recently upwards of $300,000. And lastly, a request to appropriate $450,000 in specific RAPS funds for the Koonsler Trail Improvement Project.

So the last three items on that are monies that we've received from elsewhere. All grants, yes. Yes. Well, POP split is sort of just an allocation. True. But it's from other sources that it's coming into us.

Other questions for Rich?

Do we have enough or I guess how does that 150 annual fee that we'll get from the new software, how does that get covered in the future?

So it would be, we have an internal allocation, how we allocate the costs of utility building, and it would be paid for from 911, we'll pay about 20, let's see, they'll pay approximately 3% of that, so. About $10,000 also stormwater would pay about 10,000. And the remainder would be split evenly between the water fund, sewer treatment, electric and our garbage.

So, I feel like it'll be covered because that seems like it's a new fee that we're going to have with this new software. going forward, correct?

There will be some offsets. We already paid for our current software.

We do pay for current software, so that'll be an offset as soon as we're able to offload and only have one piece of software.

And we're saving money on statements.

The second request, it'll be kind of a joint council and mayor initiative when we bring it forward, but to go to electronic-only statements. If we do that, we would save $125,000 roughly per year.

That's a pretty big savings. Almost pays for itself.

Almost pays for the software just by that one initiative. We're going to figure out when the right time is to bring that forward and make sure Council and Mayor are both on board on going in that direction. We've wanted to do this for a long time. We've looked for the right opportunity. When we have new software, it's definitely the right opportunity. It may be the right opportunity before we transition. We'll just have to see, but that could be a tremendous savings. Again, it shouldn't be a shock to most people. We could have an exemption for people who Meet some criteria that we certainly we decide is fair. We mean. Counselor there, but this isn't unusual or. Infrequent this, this is something that's happening everywhere. You want a bank statement? You pay for it. You want a statement for your cell phone company? You pay for it. You want a statement from pretty much anybody you're going to pay for it nowadays. It's just too easy to get electronic.

For the Crescens for Rich?

They've just offloaded all the costs to us.

They really have. We want to follow suit.

But that paper savings is substantial.

I'm surprised we still have that many people getting statements. I get statements.

I still get statements, too.

I think a lot of people get them, but they don't need them, and they don't want them. They just haven't taken the initiative. Taking the time to do. A lot of people will say, I don't want it anyway.

I think so.

Yeah, thank you. Certain individuals may want them. And we can say, maybe there's an exception for the person who is in a certain situation. I think you would have to have exceptions.

It's ready to go.

It's ready to go.

I have a question for Russ Akina, since one of these applies to him. Can I actually get the microphone, Russ, so that it's on the record? Rather than yell from back of the room. And maybe the answer is you don't know yet. But on this last one, the consular trail improvements, do we know construction timeline on that?

About the end of September, first week of October. We're going through the trail alignment design work right now. It'll take about that long for us to get finished up.

And when do you think you'll finish construction on it?

Depending on what the weather brings this winter. We actually have to be done before the nesting season of the yellow-billed cuckoo, which is later next spring, somewhere in May.

I'm still going to laugh at the yellow-billed cuckoo. I haven't seen one, but apparently they nest there. Do you think it'll be done this fall, or do you think you'll be finishing next spring?

No, we'll be finishing next spring, depending on what river conditions are like.

And what spring brings.

Yeah, right. That's the plan. And then somewhere in May, I believe, then we have to stop for the nesting season. And then if we still have work to do, we'll start again after September 1st.

And this is the trail that's after the bridge at Trevor Park?

This is after the bridge. And after our five and a half feet of snow melt in April.

Let's hope we get it.

Thank you, Russ. Appreciate it. Any other questions before we open a public hearing? This is a public hearing. If anyone in the audience would like to comment or have questions on resolution 26-28, this is your time to come to the microphone, state your name, city of residence, and please take three minutes or less.

My name is Linda Johnson and I live here in Logan and I love it when Logan gets money, especially for the RAPZ tax. That's always exciting. And I heard you guys mention that the amount of money we're able to spend this year on after-school programs is about a third of what it usually is. And having kids and also taking advantage sometimes of those programs, I'm just hoping that they're is enough that we're not having to cut any of those programs or we're seeing under usage, things like that. Just, I mean, of course, I know you guys know as many as you have, many of you have kids that childcare is really expensive and that we live in a, we have a lot of people who definitely can use good arts and park services for kids who are school-aged specifically. So please keep that in mind.

Thank you, Linda.

Seeing no one else, we'll close our public hearing. Rich, how much did we usually get for what was historically normal for the after-school program?

It was upwards of $300,000 in previous federal funding.

But we get it more than once a year.

We do get various grants, but it has been cut about a third.

But it was cut federally, not from us.

No, this is federal funds that we receive that pass through the school district or directly from an agency.

And I know it's a highly attended program in Logan City. It's a great program.

It has impacted...

Logan schools in terms of their capacity for accepting students. I know from my daughter's school, they're on a lottery and I think they are accepting less students because they have less allocation. So it is a significant impact. And the federal dollars, my understanding is, I know a portion of that has to be used for low-income families to have access to that program. So that's another component, you know, to it as well. It's a really important program. And so... But I have actually seen that and the impact that it's had.

Thank you, Rich.

I'll move we approve Resolution 26-28. I'll second.

We have a motion and a second. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Any opposed? Resolution 26-28 passes. Our next is also a... budgetary resolution. I was gonna say budget adjustment, but it's not sort of. Resolution 2629. Rich, do you wanna discuss carry forwards?

Whole bunch. In fact, it goes on to two pages, but this is not unusual. This is something we do every year because our fiscal year ends June 30, which is right in the middle of our building season. And most of these are significant capital design projects. Because it ends right in the middle of our building season, we need to request Council to re-appropriate these funds that were appropriated toward these same purposes so that we can continue with those capital projects. Council understands some cities automatically carry those forward. We come to Council each year because we wait until we know what's left over before we carry those forward. So Council knows we are proceeding with most of these projects even though because they were appropriated in the prior year. But we wait until this point so that we are fairly confident in the numbers. Most of these changed very insignificantly. There are only a handful. It's probably the least change that I've seen in the last five, 10 years for whatever reason. So these changed insignificantly as invoices came in or as we made journal entries between grants and various capital project projects. So a whole bunch, but just remember these were funds that were appropriated previously

Any questions for Rich? Okay, this is a public hearing. Anyone that would like to comment on resolution 26-29 is welcome to come to the microphone, state your name and city of residence, and please take three minutes or less. Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing and bring it back to the council for action.

I move we approve Resolution 26-29. I'll second.

We have a motion and a second. All those in favor, please say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed? Resolution 26-29 passes. I'm really glad we don't have to stop projects in the middle of them. That would be exciting. It would be stressful.

Oh, God, we get to move the next one, too.

It does.

You are popular tonight.

Can't decide if this is a punishment or a reward. We'll move on to our workshop items. First is a budget adjustment with Rich, Resolution 2632.

Two grants to consider. The first is Request Appropriate 10,786 that the library received. It's a Cleft Grant Community Enhancement Fund grant. It is to be used for furniture. I apologize. It says collection development and technology. That is what it's typically used for. But the library director let us know his intent is to use that for furniture to make sure councilor will make that change on the action item. Assuming council is okay with that. And the second grant is request appropriate 2377 for our 911 front for training for personnel from the state of Utah. Questions for Rich?

I think it's great he wants to buy furniture. That means there aren't enough seats in the library, which means there are no people there.

That's a good point. That was my question. Why does he need new furniture? It's only like two years old. He brought it to our attention that the Cleft Grant is for that also. So these are all. Is he replacing furniture, you know? No, they're just adding, yeah. and they're adding one. So these are all authorized uses for this particular grant.

I'm glad you're getting the CD drawers, wasn't it? You know what they use the cliff grant for? So it's additional furniture. It's not necessarily like sitting furniture, but it could be shelves or, yeah.

That's a great opportunity to expand our services.

Any further questions or concerns for Rich before we move on to Erin, who's Ready to go. Thanks, Rich, for doing all three of those. Aaron, you want to take us through ordinance 2616?

See, I wanted to be seated by the time you got to my introduction. Sorry. Sorry, that's why I was jumping. Next time I'll talk a little slower. Some people will be happy and some people will be annoyed. I'm happy to walk us through this rezone request. I may switch our screen real quick. This is the Rykoff Rezone. This is down on 7th South and 80 East, just south of Riverwoods, a little bit east of Main Street. This is an undeveloped lot in an older single-family subdivision from 1994. So currently on our future land use plan, this area south, this south of 700 south is designated for mixed use. And then the area around it to the north and west is commercial. This is a change from the underlying zoning for this particular block. The property is currently zoned in R6, part of that residential subdivision, and the property all around it is zoned commercial. The request is to go to community commercial. So community commercial is for small-scale commercial around the edges of more intense commercial developments, sort of those transitional areas towards neighborhoods. Examples around town of community commercial include Frederico's near campus, Dwell Realty on 2nd West. It's usually the smaller spot zones of commercial uses in sort of interesting areas. It's tended to fill a niche kind of between that neighborhood center, which is even a smaller intensity zone, and then our regular commercial mixed-use zones. There's the site. It's only 0.17 acres. And like I said, it's an undeveloped lot from that subdivision. Looking at community commercial a little closer, so it does permit residential development up to 12 units per acre. It's that less intense commercial that's really kind of the selling point of this zone. So you can't have a commercial footprint larger than 10,000 square foot. When we start getting into the mixed use zone, more specifically, we have a lot of minimums, but this one really is meant to keep it at a scale that's compatible with lower intensity uses. Other highlights here, and really the other highlight for Community Commercial is the change in the use chart. So this page has a lot of color. I'm going to explain that color real quick. So this is comparing mixed use, which is the middle column, and Community Commercial, which is the right column. And where there's a difference in intensity, whether it's permitted and it goes down to not permitted, that would be highlighted in red here. And when it goes from permitted to conditionally permitted, it goes to yellow. So what I'm trying to highlight here is that uses, your commercial uses, your sales and retail, it's more restricted in the community commercial zone than compared to like a mixed use zone, which would align. So this is meant to create that buffer and transition towards residential areas not allow intense commercial uses that might overwhelm neighbors and cause disturbances and nuisances. Staff's recommending approval of the three zone. Staff's finding where this is at the edge of of sort of the more intense commercial area and the existing residential development uh along that street that this fits into that character better uh it doesn't preclude any future mixed use development if the whole area was to go mixed use in the future and that the uh residential density uh wasn't a huge bump up to create some sort of strange transition from single family homes to high intensity use the community commercial works pretty well here as well because of that the site not having, when compared to a mixed use zone, which requires a lot of minimum commercial square footage, working on a small site like this, this has more flexibility for that use. With that, I'm happy. Oh, and Planning Commission recommended approval. And there we are. That's the end of my presentation on this rezone request. Questions?

Was Planning Commission unanimous? It was. Has the property owner who I'm assuming applied for this, have they looked at the UDOT proposed changes in the area and does that affect this parcel? I can't remember where the line is.

It does not affect this parcel. proposed proposed as as currently in draft form very rough draft very rough draft it would affect uh parcels for themselves okay and i i thought so but i just wanted to make sure and are they and they are aware of that okay uh that yeah they are aware of the proposed uh wonderful questions for talkative group tonight aaron thank you we'll see you in a few weeks

as an action item.

Thank you.

We have one more workshop item with Ms. Amanda Pierce. Resolution 2631. How are you, Amanda? Good.

Okay, I'm presenting the CDBG CAPER, or Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report. That's for project year 2025, which ran from July 1st, 2025 through June 30th, 2026. So the CAPER reviews the progress of the 2025 annual action plan and the five-year consolidated plan. And the main objectives of the con plan and annual action plan are to invest 60% towards providing a suitable living environment, 50% to infrastructure projects and 10% to the remediation of access and mobility barriers, 20% towards community assistance, 10% to public facility improvements and 10% to public service activities and then 20% towards CDBG administration and planning projects There were seven projects completed during project year 2025 benefiting approximately 14,000 Logan residents and spending approximately $404,000 of CDBG funding and $186,000 of CDBG-CV or COVID funding. The 600 South Main sidewalk project spent approximately $27,000 in CDBG funding to install 275 feet of a new 10-foot wide multi-use sidewalk along the south side of 600 South, connecting the West Side Trail and the new pedestrian underpass beneath Main Street. This project improves pedestrian and bicycle safety, accessibility, and connectivity for the residents. 100 North, 500 East sidewalk. spent approximately 198,000 in CDBG funding to install 2000 feet of sidewalk, curb and gutter, park strip, ADA ramps and street trees along the north side of 100 North, between 500 East and 800 East. And the Spring Creek Trail project spent approximately 186,000 in CDBG CV or COVID funding, to install approximately 2,500 feet of a 10-foot wide multi-use trail connecting Trapper Park Trail southbound to the new Spring Creek Bridge, improving pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, accessibility, and recreational opportunities. There's some pictures of the trail. The Willow Park Sports Complex mural spent approximately $27,000 to install public mural on the softball building at the Willow Park Sports Complex. The project enhances the appearance of a highly used park, strengthens community identity, and contributes to neighborhood revitalization. And the Sunshine Terrace. spent 16 000 to purchase and install two new commercial grade ice machines they provide ice for resident hydration dietary needs and patient care benefiting the 72 full-time residents at the facility and the senior center nutrition program spent 25 000 to help purchase food to provide nutritious meals to older adults in the community the nutrition program improves food security supports the health and well-being of the 186 participating logan seniors and helps older adults maintain their independence and quality of life and then admin and planning during project year 2025 a total of 111 000 was spent on administration and planning expenses including $105,000 to administer the CDBG program and $6,000 on a homelessness feasibility study that was completed by the William A. Bernard Warming Center.

Have we seen that?

I do have a copy of that, and I realized I probably should have sent it to you.

Yeah, could you scan it and send it to us?

Yep, I will. That's all I have.

That's what we did. That's a lot of sidewalks. That's really good. Awesome.

Questions, concerns, comments for Amanda?

So my understanding correctly, we've put 10% of that funding towards accessibility and things like that throughout the city, right? 10% of the funding can go to accessibility. Do we find that that's enough? I mean... Like I said, he's doing a good job, but I know there's still a lot of areas that could use more accessibility, sidewalks and things like that.

But it is limited by, it has to be, it has to serve a certain population to use this money, right? Yeah. And a certain income.

But during our meetings for CBDG funding, we can adjust how that allocation is funded. As long as it's within the federal parameters, then yes. And that is your decision next spring.

Okay.

Amongst four others.

Yeah. I'm curious about that. She has a 20% vote.

Yeah, the remediation for access to mobility is usually used in non-LMI areas. Because if it's low to moderate income, then we can just do it under infrastructure. Oh, okay.

Gotcha.

Or for specific projects that are just to

Yeah, we've used it in parks on occasion to create handicapped access to certain facilities within a park. I know we've used it in separate instances, but when we do sidewalks, we always do ADA compliant curbs at corners.

Yeah, but there's old ones that could be adjusted.

Yeah, we didn't do it 40 years ago. So we're plugging away slowly. They do, I think it's like a dozen or two a year with CBDG funding, isn't it? Intersections.

to make an 88 compatible. Yeah, there's a lot coming.

Thank you. We'll see you back in two weeks. Other considerations before we adjourn this evening and move on to the Logan Redevelopment Agency meeting? No other concerns? We got 30 minutes. We are adjourned as the Logan City Council, and we will reconvene as the Logan Redevelopment Agency. Did I say that right?

Yes, you did.

Done masterfully. Done masterfully. Yes. We have one public hearing, similar to our Gary Ford's in the other meeting, and that is Resolution 2630. Rich? Yes. Do you want to run us through the one carry forward for the RDA?

Kirk's here. We don't want to steal his thunder. He wants to read it. It says you.

It does. Kirk waited a whole 45 minutes to present. We made Kirk wait like him his four hours last time. So I was trying to keep it quick for you just to throw it in.

Four hours. It was long. That was a long meeting. I will agree. So this is $50,000 in the RDA. This is in the 1400 North Main Community Reinvestment Project area. The purpose behind it is it's the RDA's portion of the total funding for the dedicated turn lane into the Cache Valley Marketplace project where target is. So just bumping that forward into fiscal 27.

Because they didn't finish it in 26.

Right. The target date is December 1st on that. So we'll see how that progresses. Questions for Kirk? Okay.

This is a public hearing. Anyone interested in commenting on resolution 26-30 RDA is welcome to come to the microphone. State your name, city of residence, and please take three minutes or less. Everyone looks really excited to talk about this small carry forward. Seeing no one, I'll close the public hearing. Bring it back to the council for action.

I move we approve resolution 26-30 RDA. And I'll second that.

We have a motion and a second. All in favor, please say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed? Resolution 26-30 RDA passes.
