We are still in the council chambers located at 90 North Main Street. And we are still streaming this on the Twilio City YouTube channel. We will start with the pledge of allegiance.

Thank you. Our second item is a roll call. Councilman Gossit present. Councilwoman Goes present. Councilman Hansen present. Councilman McCall present. And Councilman Brady and I'm also present. Item three is the mayor's youth recognition awards. We will turn the time over to Mayor Mara Manzion.

Thanks council. I'm going to turn to the audience. So no offense. Tonight we have a special treat. Um we have a mayor's youth recognition award. That's something we've never done before. We are honoring a group of students tonight who I think are unaware that they are receiving the mayor's recognition award. So tonight we would like to uh award the mayor's youth recognition to the settlement Canyon Elementary show choir. They are directed by Janine Gilly. Um and they are here tonight and I'll just read their nomination to you. This choir was nominated by Janine Gilly, the music director. The Settlement Canyon Show Choir is a group of talented third to sixth graders who have auditioned and committed to hours of rehearsal to not only sing but to learn complicated dance numbers. It is it is more than required time commitment for a regularly elementary scheduled day. Um and more than a regularly ele regular elementary school choir. Their songs are ones of hope and perseverance, giving the message of life to their peers, of finding strength in our weaknesses, and of pushing on because no one's book is finished. And we are still writing. Giving the message that if we fail, we will fail together. And if when we rise, we rise together in love and friendship and bravery. Each of these songs contributes the to the theme of America 250 because of no of nation even after 250 years is continuing to grow and persevere as well as stand together through ups and downs. We rely on each other and will continue to do so. This group of children put forth the effort to stretch their talents, try something new, stick to something even when it gets tough and overcome their anxiety in performing for others. They are wonderful example to our community. So, congratulations to the Settlement Canyon Elementary Show choir. Have a certificate for each of them and we have a little gift bag for um each of them as well. But we have a special treat tonight because they are actually

here to perform for us. So, we will let the show choir do their uh their performance and then after your two songs, okay? And then after the performance, we'll um give you your certificate, sing your gift bag, and we'll try and get a picture in in the rotunda with the council. Okay. All right. So, let's hear it for the show choir. This is their first time in here, so give me a second. Let's go. I can go right there. Oh, this is for the busted hearts. This for the question marks. This is for the outcastle lost control. No one knows.

Sing it for the can't go back. Singing for the broken past. Singing for the just found out. Life is now upside down. If you're looking for hope, do not raise your hand. And if you're feeling alone and don't understand. And if you're fighting in the body of life, then stand. And we're going to make it through this hand in hand. And and if we fall, we will fall together. Together is the second chance. This for the new romance. Singing for the loved in pain over. It's not too late.

That's a hard act to follow. And we will not be dancing. Sorry. Well, she

Yeah, nobody wants to see me dance. Mayor Manzion, members of the city council, thank you for allowing us to be here with you tonight. My wife and I serve, excuse me, as representatives of Just Serve for the Twilla Valley. Just Serve helps bring people, organizations, faith groups, and communities together through meaningful opportunities to serve, and we are grateful to work alongside so many who are dedicated to making a difference here in our valley. One of the things that stands out most about Towilla is that people here genuinely care about one another. There is a spirit of helping, volunteering, and building unity in the community through service. Just Serve brings people together across the community to promote and support volunteerism and to help build a culture of service. As Tilla continues to grow, there is an incredible opportunity to continue building a culture of service, one where individuals, families, organizations, and neighborhoods work together to strengthen the community and care for one another. Mayor Manzion and members of the city council, thank you for your leadership and for your vision for service in our community. Your support of community partnerships and volunteer efforts is helping make Tula City an even better place to live. A community where people feel connected, supported, and willing to serve one another. So today, it is our honor to officially recognize Tula City as a just serve city and to present this plaque as a symbol of that partnership and shared vision of service. We look forward to continuing to work alongside Tula City to expand opportunities for service, strengthen community connections, and help build a future where Tula is not is known not only for its growth, but for the way its people care for and serve one another. Thank you for your leadership, and thank you for your commitment to the people of Tilla City.

We also have some other goodies for this for the city as well. Oh, thank you. Thank you. And I think we had our proclamation in the packet, but here is our signed proclamation. They sent us with us some shirts. We have some t-shirts. Make them look pretty. So, there's shirts, we have some signs, and then we also have um stickers that can be displayed anywhere that you want throughout the city so that you guys can be recognized as a just served city. So, it's all in the box. It's all yours.

Awesome. There's also an SD drive with some like promotional materials if you want to use them, like the hero award that we were talking to you about. Okay. So, it's all in here. Excellent. and we would love to get a picture if that's okay. That's perfectly fine. Thank you and thank you for your help in getting us certified.

Just do it right here. I think smaller group We might have to do kind of two rowsish a little. There you go.

And really squeeze in. And now everybody slide just a little bit this way so we don't have the podium right in front of all of you and squeeze in just a little bit. Here we go. Take a few. I'm going to take a few. Keep your eyes open. Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you.

You're welcome. Thank you. All right, we'll move on to item five. That's our public comment period. We ask that you state your name into the mic. You keep your comments to 3 minutes or less, and then you sign the paper by Shiloh. Uh Shiloh has the timer going. It'll pop up on the screen that your time is up and then there'll be an audible alarm as well and then the microphone will be shut off. The time is now the public's seeing no one come forward, I will close the public comment period. We'll move on to item six, a public hearing and motion on ordinance 2026-11, an ordinance of the TW city council amending section 7-14-11, landscaping and water conservation with new development regarding the use of sod in residential landscaping and the use of irrigation systems associated with residential landscaping presented by Andrew Agard, the community development director. Thank you, council. We went over the the details of this ordinance in your work meeting earlier today. So, I'll be brief in my presentation. We are presenting some ordinance amendments to clean up and to make easier to understand an ordinance regarding the uh residential landscaping. The areas highlighted in red on the screen are areas that we are desirous to change. Uh we are wishing to remove the limitation on sod in areas 8 ft or less in width

and then to remove the 250 square ft total landscape area limitation and to reward the final sentence to make it more easy and clarifying to understand. Uh these are the proposed amendments which we discussed earlier and then the ordinance as it is currently proposed with those edits. This item did go to the planning commission on April 22nd, 2026 and the planning commission did recommend in favor with some some edits of their own as illustrated here on this slide. Uh the the city attorney did provide in your packet both two exhibits. One exhibit is the edits by staff. The other is the proposals by planning commission. And uh with that, do you have any questions? I'd be happy to try and answer them for you.

Do we need to clarify which one we're choosing? Okay. Okay. Do we want to choose right now or does someone want to make a motion with the We should probably choose before motion so we know what we're voting on. I I'm okay with the planning commission's proposal. I I kind of like it how it has the date at the top. I think it's just easier to see. I agree with that. Fine with that, too. Oh, then what does it say about the sad? Was there more? I don't know all the changes, the minimal changes they had.

Yeah. So, the changes proposed by the planning commission are just to move the effective date to the the chapter or the uh the heading. Yeah. and then to eliminate the the limitation on artificial turf. That was the only changes the planning commission recommended. So, I'm I'm still okay with that. Weren't we weren't we uh we received more information tonight on why the 50%. So, is that still going to stay 50% then? No, it would be eliminated with this with this edit with this proposal. Okay. So maybe we do want the 50%. Is that

I felt like we got the reasoning why it was 50% tonight from you. So I like the date at the top. Yeah.

So staff's proposal would be to maintain the 50% limitation, but the planning commission recommended in favor of of eliminating the 50%. I think after hearing your explanation as to why the 50% I'm for the date at the top but to leave the staff recommendation for the 50%. Does it cuz your your yard could be different sizes though, right? So if you have a small yard, it has to be 50% of the total yard, right? It's

Yeah. The total square footage of the front and side yards. Correct. That's the only reason I would hesitate to put a percentage because then if someone has a small front yard and they're just doing all turf. I think it it might be better if they just do that. I I don't know. I Any other discussion or thoughts on that? I think a lot of the newer subdivisions they have a lot smaller front yards. Like I can even think of some where their most of their front yard if they did all turf I don't think it would be I don't think it would cause the heat concern that we have. It's just not a big enough area. So So how do you do that if you have a lot with bigger

Yeah. front yards, you know, like some of them over that are being built down there with a bigger front yard. If you did all then you the concern is the heat and the drainage. I don't know. I don't know if you make a, you know, recommendation, a recommendation rather than a rule on that part of it. I don't know. I'm not going to put 100% saw in my yard, so I I like a little bit of sod to lay on, you know. Okay. Somehow we have to decide either on to vote on something. So, everyone's okay with the date at the top. Yeah.

Um, the real discussion is do we have a percentage of artificial turf or no percentage? And the and the planning commission wanted that part taken out, didn't they? Yeah, they wanted they wanted no limitation. And I'm still okay with that. Yeah, I think I am, too. I think it's hard when we put a percentage on certain things. I think it it puts staff in a difficult position to determine what is 50% and so I don't know that I you'll get no argument from me on that one. So enforcement can be very interesting when there's percentage is involved. I'll make a motion. Okay,

Mr. Chair, just a reminder that this is a public hearing.

Okay. Thank you. Yes. I before you make a motion. Any other discussion before we open it up to the public? Okay. As Shiloh stated, this is a public hearing. So, we invite the public to address the council with the same rules that were stated during the public comment period. The time is now the public's Kelly Anderson and I live here in Tilla. Um, as a realtor, I look at property rights and anytime you start putting limitations on what a a resident can do with their own property, I really think that it should be your goal to create an environment for the citizens where they can live their best life however they see fit, as long as it's not affecting other owners next door to them or or whatever. So, I think that the property uh the 50% um limitation should be wiped off.

Okay. Thanks, Kelly. Just sign the paper over by Shiloh. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Restated usually that.

Okay. Okay, seeing no one else come forward and the public hearing time, we'll close the public hearing. And any other discussion from the council? If none, I will entertain a motion.

I'll make a motion. Uh, Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion we approve ordinance 2026-11, an ordinance of the Tula City Council amending section 7-1411, landscaping water conservation with new development regarding the use of sod in residential landscaping and the use of irrigation systems associated with the residential landscaping using the planning commission's recommendation of moving the date to the top and eliminating the 50% um Artic yeah limitation for for sod I mean for artificial. I think I got it. Okay, I'll second.

Okay, we have a motion from Councilman Hansen and a second from Councilwoman Goes. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman McCall I. Councilman Hansen. Hi. Councilwoman Gochas. I. Councilman Gossit. I. I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 5. Item seven is resolution 2026-26, a resolution of the Tilla City Council tentatively adopting the budget officer's tentative budget for Tilla City fiscal year 2026 through 2027 and establishing the time and place of a public hearing to consider its adoption. Presented by Mayor Marissa Manzion.

Thank you, council. Um, just as Shannon stated in the RDA meeting, this is just the presentation of the tentative budget. Um, this is new to you. you haven't really seen it or had a chance to discuss it, but we will have that chance in the upcoming months and it does establish a time for the hearing on the same day on June 17th um as well. So, a public hearing. So, I'm going to uh just read my budget officer's message to you. Um, dear residents of Tula City, each year we take seriously our responsibility to develop a budget that reflects the needs, priorities, and values of our community. This tentative budget is designed to maintain the quality of life you expect while being mindful of the financial impact on you and your families. It balances ongoing needs, service needs with long-term planning to ensure continued stability and responsible growth. This tenative budget is based on projected property tax revenue generated using the current fiscal year's values. Because of the final certified property valuation data will not be available until June 8th. Final determinations cannot yet be made, but we anticipate participating in the truth and test taxation process this year. Based on current projections, any potential increase would be less than 5%. For a median valued home of $445,000, this would equate to approximately $2.26 a month. While we recognize the impact any tax increase has on our residents, we believe that when adjustments are necessary, small and incremental changes are more responsible and sustainable than larger onetime increases. We remain committed to transparency and will evaluate any final adjustment adjustments once valuation data is certified. Our financial policies continue to emphasize fiscal discipline, careful evaluation of expenditures, maintaining service levels, and promoting economic development to broaden the tax base and reduce the burden on residents.

Like households across our city, Tilla City continues to face rising costs due to inflation affecting fuel materials, equipment, and services. This budget reflects those realities while prioritizing efficiency and responsible spending. Public safety remains a top priority. The budget includes additional funding for our volunteer fire department to address increasing call volumes, allowing us to continue relying on this model and delay transitioning to a full-time department. We are also adding one sworn police officer to maintain service levels. To support community standards, the budget includes the addition of another ordinance compliance officer to help maintain clean, safe, and attractive neighborhoods as the city grows. This the budget also prior prioritizes maintenance of critical infrastructure including roads, public facilities, and essential equipment, ensuring reliable service and avoiding more costly repairs in the future. Several major capital and community projects are included. These include necessary upgrades to the water reclamation facility such as solar drying panels and other improvements to increase capacity and reliability. The city is also designing constructing an allabilities bike park funded through park impact fees, a developer donation, grant funding, and capital funds. Additionally, we are designing a permanent stage at Tula City Park to enhance community events such as the Fourth of July celebration and the summer concerts. Key changes in this year's budget reflect the city's continued growth and increased service demands. These include targeted additions in public safety staffing, the creation of an ordinance compliance position, increased investment in infrastructure maintenance, and funding for critical capital improvements and community projects. Rising costs due to inflation have also required adjustments across multiple operational levels. There are no major changes in overall financial policy for this budget period. The city continues to prior prioritize conservative budgeting practices, maintaining stable tax rates where possible, investing in essential infrastructure and supporting economic

development efforts. We remain focused on expanding the local business base to strengthen revenues and reduce reliance on residential property taxes over time. I would also like to express my sincere sincere appreciation to our city council and our dedicated staff who have worked diligently to develop this budget. Their continued efforts to find efficiencies, control costs, and ensure responsible use of public funds are critical to maintaining the high level of service our residents expect. Tula City is a strong and growing community, and this budget reflects our commitment to managing that growth thoughtfully and responsibly. At every level, we are focused on efficiency, accountability, and long-term planning while being responsible stewards of your tax dollars. Thank you for your continued trust and engagement. Then we have just a couple of slides that give talk um a little bit about tax. Tax is super hard to understand even for people who are in government sometimes but the property tax formula that's set up does not count for inflation or any other factors. So cities collect the same amount of revenue each year that they received the prior year plus a little bit for new growth that was created in that year. So tax taxpayers might see a change in their taxes paid due to valuation of their home. You know, whether they've done improvements or there's been a reevaluation by the county and this increase is offset by other taxpayers. It's not received by the city. We have a stable um tax revenue. That's just how our state has set up taxes. So in this budget, we want to fund fund ongoing expenses like personnel, operation, maintenance on the day-to-day operations. Um, personnel is of course our first priority as far as our operating budget. We want to take care of our people. We want to have good people working for the city. We don't want them to go work elsewhere. So, this budget does include an increase in salaries and benefits for step increases and a cola adjustment. Has three new positions. So, the additional police officer, an administrative assistant for

the fire department, and a position in the IT department. Um, it includes some stipens for our fire department to address their demands. Um they have I think last year they had upwards of 650 calls. Um that's a lot for a volunteer fire department and it increases some operating budgets mainly to address like increased costs like fuel and inflation. And then um number two we have our capital projects and equipment and we want to maintain and and in some ways in some places increase the ser service level of the city. um we don't want to ever get in a position where we've let things go so long that it costs us more in the end to fix something than to just maintain it along the way, much like we do in our own homes. So, it includes um a variety of capital projects. Um lighting at the the pool, some things at the golf course, the library chiller. We all want to have air conditioning when we go to the library in the summer. Um some forensics tools for the police, lifts, and some trucks and autos in different department different departments. Do you have any burning questions right now?

No, I don't. Don't. That was fast though. That was fast. Yeah, I was talking slow, I thought. So, a lot of I think there's a lot of good projects that this will be utilized for. So, yeah, I agree. Okay, any other questions? It'll be good to talk about it, you know, as we continue on. So,

yeah. So, you know, now that you have your budgets, take a look and and as you have questions, please email them to Shannon and I. And um it's it's better if you have questions along the way and you can email them so that we can prepare when we have the public hearing. Um because the budget is kind of large and so I don't I don't know every line item. Shannon knows a lot more of the line items than I do. But it's hard, you know, it's easier if we can prepare. Of course, if you haven't emailed them, we'll still answer them, but sometimes we might have to get back to you if we have to research. But and typically in our next work meeting, we'll have a budget discussion that you gives us two weeks to review it and that's correct. Try to email questions before, but Okay. Any other questions, comments, concerns,

I do, but it it's probably not what I Well, we'll talk in in our meeting about it and and it was about the the lighting at the PRA um aquatic center. Yeah. Granted, I know it's a secret project and I know something that we need to fix. Yeah. Um we do.

Um but I'm it's it's been it it's it's a it's a bad thing for me because with me because I look at it that the citizens of Tilla City is spending their money to fix that which it is a city thing but yet we can't use that pool half the time because the school's in there. So to me, the school board should be paying for part of that. I know they give us a little bit of money, but it it just irritates me. It it just does, you know, that we have to foot the bill and yet if I wanted to go over there and go swimming right now, I probably Well, right now I could, but during the day when most people that are retired want to go to the swimming pool, they can't because the school kids are in there. And now we got four schools that use it, which means it's even more time that we're not the citizens that are paying for it can't use it. I don't think that's fair. I just I just don't think it's fair.

But then that's my thing to bear. Okay. Okay. Sorry, Mr. Chair. No, that's perfectly fine. It just rubs me the wrong way. Yeah. Okay. Any other discussion? I will entertain a motion. Uh, Mr. Chair, I make a mo motion we approve resolution 2026-26. I'll second it. We have a motion from Councilman Hansen and a second from Councilman McCall. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman Gossit, I. Councilwoman Goches, I. Councilman Hansen, I. Councilman McCall, I.

I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 5-0. Item eight is a statement. I'll just be reading this and then we'll go to item nine. So this is our statement of intent. The budget officer intends to state that the tenative budget includes a proposed property tax increase. We'll move to item nine which is the statement of budget officer that the tenative budget includes a proposed tax increase. This is presented by Mayor Marissa Manzion. Okay. This is a new requirement by state law. So it's just a statement which I will read. The Tula City fiscal year 2027 budget includes a proposed property tax that exceeds the estimated certified tax rate. This increase is expected to generate an additional $49,95 in property tax revenue, which is estimated to be a 4.48 tax increase. These additional funds will be used to fund the increase in the 2016 judgment levy bond payment as well as fund stipens and a new administrative assistant in our volunteer fire department. If Toula City proceeds with the proposed property tax increase, the city will provide notice and conduct a public hearing where residents will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed tax increase. The truth and taxation public hearing will be held on August 19th, 2026 at 7 p.m. at Tula City Hall.

Okay, thank you. Then we'll move on to item 10 is a presentation of property tax impact schedule. This is also presented by Mayor Mara Manzio.

This is also a new requirement by the state. Um, and these all have to be separate items on the agenda. So we're just following the new state code. Um so this is our impact tax impact schedule. So it says to city will consider an increase to the property tax rate from 0.2475 to 025 I can't see that far. 2587 which exceeds the estimated certified tax rate and is estimated to generate additional 4 $49,95 in property tax revenue. The following information is intended to provide the city council and the public with an explanation of how the city's operations would be affected if the proposed property tax increase is adopted. So you can see the current property tax rate, the property tax revenue and the proposed revenue with the tax changes not including new growth. Um and then if you look at the just the graph there, it has residential and commercial. um the median sales price for the Tula city estimated tax rate, the proposed tax rate, and what the increase would be per year, which equates to about a 4.48% increase. And then um the impact of the tax increase on the judgment levy um you can see the proposed budget is the long-term debt is 1,75,537. The budget without the tax change is 765,632. And then there's the budget change. And then in the fire department, it would be the affect the affected department by this increase. And you can see the changes there. Um they're requesting right now they're a volunteer fire department. They're requesting to implement some stipens for volunteers. Um it's not necessarily a per call basis, but it's kind of a rubric that includes a per call um stipen. So

and then the assistant to the fire department. Anything we can do to prevent or keep volunteer firefighters as long as possible, I think is a a great thing for the city. They've saved us millions. They've saved us millions and millions of dollars. Yes. Yes. Any other questions or comments? Okay. We don't vote on anything, right? This is all new. You don't. And this impact statement you'll get familiar with because we do have to publish that, you know, anytime we have a public hearing. So, we'll see that a couple more times just to be transparent with the public.

Okay. Thank you. We will move on to item 11 is resolution 2026-27. A resolution of the Tula City Council declaring the intent of Tula City to consider an increase in property tax revenue above the certified tax rate for fiscal year 2026 through 2027 pursuant to the requirements of Utah House Bill 236 uh 2026 publishing a property tax impact disclosure and establishing the time and place of a truth and taxation public hearing. This is presented by Shannon Whmer the finance director.

Good evening council. So basically this resolution just ratifies in resolution form everything that the mayor just did. Um so this ju is just a document that we can use to prove to the state that we have followed these new requirements. This is just stating that we made the intent to make the statement that the mayor did make the statement that we provided to the public the property tax impact schedule that she just went over. And it is also again announcing uh that we will have a public hearing on this on August 19th at 7 PM. So this is just ratifying everything that just happened on the agenda.

Thank you. Any questions for Shannon? I will entertain a motion. Mr. Chair make a motion that we approve resolution 2026-27, a resolution of Tua City Council declaring the intent of Tua City to consider an increase in property tax revenue above the certified tax rate for fiscal year 2026 27 pursuant to the requirements of Utah House Bill 3236 2026 publishing a property tax impact disclosure and in eliminate establishing a time and place of a truth and taxation public hearing. We'll second it.

Item 12 is ordinance 2026-10, an ordinance of Twilla City enacting Tula City code chapter 9-8 regarding enforcement of false alarms for business and residential security systems and and establishing a fee for administrative appeals under Twilla City Code Chapter 9-8 presented by Adrien Day, the police chief.

Thank you, council. We were able to discuss this at a previous work meeting and uh we've placed it in the services title in title 9. It's a new chapter. I didn't know where else to to uh place this. We usually deal with title six animal control or 10 traffic or or the criminal code, but uh I think it's important to point out this isn't an audible alarm that can be called in uh from a neighbor that's being disruptive. This is uh one that's routed through dispatch getting the response of officers and it excludes a panic alarm in the definition under false alarm. I I think it we don't have a big problem with that and I don't I don't want that being an issue when somebody needs a police response immediately. the the fourth alarm, we are required to give a warning notice. I have not created this form yet, and I I've instructed the police department to bring bring any concerns of many alarms to my office so we can vet them through there first. We want I plan on taking a warning to uh two businesses that hit 47 and 32 times last year just to make them aware, not as an official notice. I just want them I I the purpose is this this is to promote um fixing their alarm. So um it's good for everyone. I don't the fifth uh the fifth false alarm in a 365day period you can be served with a civil citation which will come through my office at the beginning and we'll see how this goes cuz it's

it's very new to us and this can be appealed uh through the recorder's office like any others and I can take any questions if you have any any questions or comments. Okay. Thanks, Chief. I will entertain a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion to approve ordinance 2026-10, an ordinance of Twilla City enacting Twilla City Code Chapter 9-8 regarding enforcement of false alarms for businesses and residential security systems and establishing a fee for administrative appeals under Twilla City Code Chapter 9-8.

Item 14 is resolution 2026-25, a resolution of the Twilla City Council authorizing the Twilla City Purchasing Agent to dispose of surplus personal property from the fire department. Presented by Shiloh Baker, the city reporter.

Good evening, council. Thank you. The fire department currently has a 1996 KME102 aerial cat fire truck that no longer meets the operational needs of the department. Um, it was originally donated to the city several years ago and at this time it is not actively being used in fire service and it is not fully equipped to do so. As the council has previously approved, the fire department has ordered a new fire truck and um that's why the department has chosen to not continue spending money to equip this truck and just wait for the new truck to arrive. Um in accordance with city policy, we are requesting that the council declare this vehicle a surplus property and upon approval, we will dispose of the truck through sale, donation, recycling, or other appropriate means. Our plan is to first offer the truck to um eligible entities within the county with a minimum offer of $15,000. This is the amount reflect this amount reflects the approximate investment that the city has made in maintaining the truck since it was received. Happy to answer any questions.

Any questions or comments? I'll entertain a motion.
