We haven't decided. Welcome. It's 700 p.m. on Wednesday, December 17th, 2025. The Tula City Council is meeting in a business meeting being held at Tula City Hall in the council chambers located at 90 North Main Street in Tilla, Utah. We are also streaming this electronically on the Twilla City YouTube channel. We will start with the pledge of allegiance. If you'll please rise and repeat after me. I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Thank you. We'll move on to our second item, a roll call. Councilwoman Manzio, present. Councilwoman Goes, present. Councilman Hansen present. Councilman McCall present.

And Councilman Brady and I'm also present. Item three is a recognition of Mayor W's retirement. We'll invite Mayor Win up here and the council to the podium as well. Okay. So, traditionally they give a flag to either council members or mayor. She's the first mayor that I've worked with that's gotten this. So, congratulations. Uh, Shiloh said this flew over the Capitol on your birthday, November 21st. So, makes it extra special. And then the council, we all wanted to give you a gift as well. So, Ruth Nichols, uh, we commissioned her to do a painting for you. So, Melody has that painting.

This is a card. Ruth, you should come up here for the unveiling. Yes, you should unveil it. Oh, that is beautiful. That is so beautiful.

So, that matches your challenge coin. I just look at that. That's beautiful. Thank you. Thank you so Ruth Nichols has served on the Tula City Arts Council and we really appreciate her her service and her beautiful talents.

Okay. Okay. And then we're going to turn the time over to Tiffany, I believe. Right. Come on up, Tiffany.

We lift for a minute. These are a little hesky. Okay. So, we just have a little um letter we'd like to read and we're going to try to get through it without too many tears. So, dear Mayor Win, tonight we have the privilege of honoring you both as a hero and a difference maker for Tilla City. Over over your years of service as mayor, you have guided some of Tula City's most significant projects. From major infrastructure improvements and responsible budgeting to thoughtful economic development, your leadership has positioned our city for a strong and sustainable future. But what truly defines your legacy is that while you planned for the future of the city, you never stopped caring for every resident from the youngest and the oldest and those that stop in on your retirement days. The balance of big picture leadership and personal care is beautifully reflected in the gifts we present to you tonight. First, we have a willow tree figure. It is of a woman holding a flag that represents strength, humility, and service. Just as this figure honors heroes among us, you have been a true hero for Towilla City, leading with compassion, integrity, and dedication. Next, the framed difference maker message. There's a little frame with difference maker. The difference maker definition is mayor win. A committed individual who is capable of having a significant effect

with just a few words or small act. A person who improves the lives of others. Someone who inspires, motivates others to progress and bring about change. Good change. These words perfectly capture your leadership style. How your thoughtful actions, whether through major decisions or small gestures, have had lasting meaningful impact on this community. Finally, the 13 roses which are displayed over there symbolize each year of your dedicated service in Tula City. five years as councilwoman and eight years as mayor. You have worked as a team with residents, city council, city administration, and community partners, always focused on what is best for Tula City. Each rose a reminder of your years of leadership, collaboration, and commitment to our community. Because of your guidance, Tula City is not only better built and better prepared, it is a hometown that cares for its people, honors its heroes, and inspires pride in every resident. Truly, you have made Towilla a hometown to be proud of. Mayor Wen, your service has shaped our city. Your compassion has strengthened our community and your legacy will continue to guide Tula City for generations to come. With love, your Tula City family. Oh,

go ahead. Yeah, please. I can't say it. first. Let's get a picture. Get in the middle. Where should we stand? Yeah. Those flowers.

Perfect. You're welcome. I can't say anything. This truly is a family, my other family here who I love so much. Those of you that have supported me through my times of throwing my fits when I'm when things haven't gone right or somebody writes something nasty on Facebook. It always hurt your feelings still. You can be old like me and it still hurt your feelings. But I did not do this alone. I could not have done anything without you and you know that you know. So I would just ask the residents to please read my message that we put out in the 90 door main cuz I would like to say that again. That's what it's all about is working together cuz we don't get anything done unless we work together and there were things we didn't get done. But they're going to get done. I know they will. They will get done. But I do truly love this city. And you know, I've

been coming to meetings in this city hall for over 20 years now. So I just want you to know I'm not going to turn it off. I'm going to be home watching it on YouTube or if there's something I need to comment on, I'll be sitting right there in the front row. But I know that things will go well because of who each one of you are. And I appreciate appreciate and love you all so very much. Thank you. And we'll have Mayor elect Manzion come up. We're going to have Mayor Win say a few words. This is your This is Maurice's last meeting as a council woman and we're excited that she is still going to be here as our mayor. So

awesome. That's so beautiful. Thank you. Okay, I got to get control here. Yes, it's the last time that you're going to be sitting up there a little taller. You can get to be over there. That chair is much more comfortable than that one, just so that you know. Um, I did not know Marica very well 5 years ago. I knew who she was, but we didn't we didn't know each other personally. But when she was elected to serve on the city council, she jumped in with both feet and said, "What can I do? How do I learn? What do I need to know?" And we we were worked together quite closely with a lot of things, but she would come to me and say, you know, I need to learn more about economic development. So, she went and took a a course with Jared. remember you went and then they came back and taught me about um the PIDs and all of the ways that we could make incentives and and try to get more business here. And so I learned from her and I I tell you I am going to be able to leave because I know that the city is still going to be in wonderful hands. First of all, because I know she can do this. I know that she loves this community as much as I do. And I know she has each one of you to support her. And and you will cuz she is a really, really wonderful person. And that's what it takes. Someone who's dedicated and someone who truly cares about the community and not themselves. And that's what she is. and I love her and I

appreciate her and I'll be I'll be home rooting for you all the time. Feel free to come and stay

and and yeah, she has my phone number so we can when when her feelings get hurt, she can call me and I can say, you know, the anonymous letter that you got doesn't matter cuz those come to us, too. it. Um, I appreciate her her so very much and and I'm really really happy for our community because our city's on a roll right now. In case you haven't noticed, we are on a roll and we're going to keep going. We're going to keep going and she's going to surpass every goal that I ever set for myself. So, I love you. Thanks. That's very high praise. Hopefully, I can live up to that. I know I have big shoes to fill, but I'm looking forward to serving my community. I love the community. I love the residents here, and I think we have a great staff, and I'm just looking forward to keeping that ball rolling. So, thank you. Okay, we're going to move on to our public comment period. This is the time for the public to address the council. 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. 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 five, a public hearing and motion on resolution 2025-94, a resolution of the Tula City Council approving budget amendments for fiscal year 2025 through 2026, presented by

Shannon Whmer, the finance director. Uh, good evening, council. These are uh fiscal year 26 budget amendments for the second quarter of the year. Um, these are in your packet. There's quite a few of them, so I don't really uh plan on listing each one of them individually unless you'd like me to, but I'm happy to answer any questions or go through each one individually if you'd like me to. Are there any questions or comments? Okay, I'll There's no questions, then we'll open it up to the public. So, this also has a public hearing. We invite the public to address the council. will state your name into the mic. Keep your comments to 3 minutes or less and then sign the paper by Shiloh.

Seeing no one come forward, I will close the public hearing and I'll entertain a motion. Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion we approve resolution 2025-94, a resolution of the Tula City Council approving the budget amendments for the fiscal year 2526 that are listed. I'll second. We have a motion from Councilman Hansen and a second from Councilwoman Manzio. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman McCall. I. Councilman Hansen. I. Councilwoman Goes. I. Councilwoman Manzio. I. And Councilman Brady and I vote I.

That passes 5-0. Item six is resolution 2025-98, a resolution of the Tula city council approving an amendment to the interlocal cooperation agreement with the military installation development authority, MIDIA, adding additional property to the project area. This is presented by John Perez, the economic development director. Good evening, council. So this is kind of a continuation of what we discussed in the work meeting about amending the existing project area and to be a two non-ontiguous uh project areas. And you can see um the two project areas in that exhibit again um in the map. And then you can also see this is the first um this is kind of the first amendment to the interlocal cooperation agreement between MIDA and Tila City. So I know there were some questions it seems like that kind of car that were kind of maybe perhaps not answered in the work meeting. I don't know if there were you chairman Brady you had a couple more questions.

I I think most of them were answered. My biggest thing is I don't understand it right. Um, I don't always like a deadline where it has to be done now, right? So,

well, and I think that's the thing and you know, Mayor W and Mayor Elect Manzion and myself and um, council member McCcoll, we have been meeting with Maida for, you know, months and we met with them a year ago and, you know, as it was described, we're not giving up any, you know, tax money right now. And if you look on the county assessor and you know, mayor win, we we all reviewed it too. And then you look at the financials, even if we were to, let's say, you know, Mr. Hunt were to get just the vinyl fence company and we still, you know, gave up the percentage of property tax for that, right? It still is significantly more than what, you know, we're getting right now. So you we're not losing, we're we're gaining at the end of the day. Yeah.

And the thing is too, I understand, you know, there was some discussion on some of the water rights and I think that's kind of confidential and everybody kind of saw that behind the scenes and you know, we can't disclose everything, but you know, if you know, things are not properly and timely presented within the next few months or so and everybody doesn't feel comfortable. It's no skin off anybody's back. And that, you know, extra 8 to 10 million that we can get from creating the project area now is money that can be used for fiber or rail infrastructure that can be incorporated into the deal and then that's money that wouldn't happen by not doing this. So we in the work meeting we talked about this extensively and I guess I still don't understand you're still giving up the land use authority right because it becomes MIA that is making decisions for that land.

Well regardless of the next resolution because the next resolution only has really the agreements of how that's being utilized the taxing side of it but you still gave up something. It's not like it becomes the private property owners land again. So the way the way the agreement reads and I could be mistaken from the previous one we did, but I thought it was that myself and then one other rotating employee or council member is on that board, right? So we're still on that. And the thing is too, whether or not you know we extend this, it still is the same property owner. So he's not he's not going anywhere. Yeah.

So yeah. Yeah. I don't I don't have any issue with I don't understand it. Um like I said, I don't like the time frame. That's probably my biggest holdup right now. I understand the reasoning what Ariana had told us about they're capturing this year's property tax. Calendar 24. 24. So she estimated at 8 to 10 million. Yeah. But because spreading was still in operation then. Okay. But even if you waited till next year, there's still they lose out on some money. I get that. So because there's nothing there right now. There's still building. Well, no. Where the spreading plan is. There was there's no inventory in there that's you lose some of that. I understand that.

Yeah. No, I I understand it, but if I don't feel comfortable with it, I don't feel comfortable voting for it in that way. So I'm one of five though. So just because I don't feel that way doesn't mean that the rest of the council does. So yeah, are there any other questions for John? I don't have any questions, but I'll just make a comment is that we've already approved uh this interlocal agreement with Maida. Um MIDIA is federally funded. I feel like this is an opportunity for us to obtain federal dollars that we may not get otherwise.

Right. um it all that we're doing is amending a boundary and so I think that other issues that can be discussed can be discussed later and so I'm comfortable with that. So that was my comment. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Any other discussion? Okay. Thanks John. I will entertain a motion. Mr. Ter make a motion that we approve resolution 2025-98. A resolution of the Twilla City Council approving an amendment to the interlocal cooperation agreement with the military installation development authority MIDA adding additional property to the project area.

I'll second. We have a motion from Councilwoman Goes and a second from Councilwoman Manzion. We'll take it to a vote. Councilwoman Manzion, I. Councilwoman Goes, I. Councilman Hansen, nay. Councilman McCall I. I'm Councilman Brady and I vote nay. That passes 32. Item seven is resolution 2025-9, a resolution of the Tula City Council authorizing an additional term in the sale of lot 13 of the ranch at Pine Canyon subdivision to

Celtic. I always say Celtic, but I know there's another pronunciation for that. Bank Corporation previously approved by resolution 2025-85 presented by John Perez the economic development director.

Yeah. Good evening council. So you previously approved this resolution at the 5th of November meeting of this year. So that was that agreement is attached. I believe it's exhibit B in here if I'm not mistaken. Uh, and you'll see in the appraisal that was previously given to you and we discussed it and if you go back through the minutes and watch it, you can see that we did mention it, but on page 23 in the appraisal, it strictly says right here, utilities available to the subject are summarized below. And then it says utilities and it says service water and it says provider Lincoln Culinary Well. So, when this went was going through the title process, it was brought up that it was never legally stated. about that culinary share with Lincoln Culinary. So that's basically exactly what this resolution is is providing that additional term of sale and then kind of amending that real estate purchase agreement. Uh and this is specifically for the the transfer of that water share from Tuila City to Celtic Bank Corporation for this property.

Celtics. See, I always say what did I say? No, you said Celtics. Oh, but I think of the Celtics like the basketball. See, they're saying it wrong. One of us is saying it. They're saying it wrong. Celtic. Yes. I couldn't think of the other pronunciations because this is not like, you know, um this is not like an Italian name like Manzion or something where the you know, ravioli like um you know, sit your own or whatever. This is different. So, okay. Any questions for John? Okay. I'll entertain a motion.

Mr. Mr. Chair, I move that we approve resolution 2025-99 authorizing an additional term in the sale of lot 13 of the ranch at Pine Canyon subdivision to Celtic Bank Corporation previously approved by resolution 2025-85. Second. We have a motion from Councilwoman Manzion and a second from Councilman McCall. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman McCall. I. Councilman Hansen. Hi. Councilwoman Goes. I. Councilwoman Manzion. Hi. I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 5. Item 8 is ordinance 2025-33, an ordinance of the Tula City Council establishing the dates, times, and places of its public meetings in 2026. Presented by Shiloh Baker, the city recorder.

Thank you, council. By both city charter and city code, the city council is required by ordinance to set and establish the dates, times, and places of its meetings in the coming year 2026. We have meetings scheduled for a 5:30 work meeting and a 7:00 business meeting on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. Except for the month of July, we do not have a meeting scheduled that first Wednesday of July. It typically falls within our Fourth of July week-long celebration. And so, in the past, we have ended up cancing that meeting. So, we just have not scheduled that for this year. Any questions or comments? I'll entertain a motion.

Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion to approve ordinance 2025-33, an ordinance of the Tula City Council establishing the dates, times, and places of its public meetings in 2026. I'll second. We have a motion from Councilwoman Gochas and a second from Councilman Hansen. We'll take to a vote. Councilman McCall, I. Councilman Hansen, I. Councilwoman Gochas, I. Councilwoman Manzio. Hi. I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 5-0. Thank you. Thanks, Shiloh. Item nine is resolution 2025-93. A resolution of the Twilla City Council approving the renewal of an agreement with Lake Point Improvement District for sewer backup assistance presented by Jamie Grandprey, the public works director.

Good evening, council. So, this resolution, I guess back in 2016, there was an agreement with the city and Lake Point Improvement District for us to offer backup services, sewer backup services to them when they needed assistance from us, which doesn't seem to happen very often. In my tenure, the last 5 years, I've only know of one time that they needed us to come out and help them with a sewer backup. And so we uh we take our Vatcon out and a couple of one of couple of our operators out to help them with that. Uh we did have an agreement with them that was in 2016 that expired 5 years later and they are now wanting to see if we can re u renew that agreement for another five years starting in December of 2025. Probably won't need us very often. If they do, uh, they'll call us. Uh, they do pay for all services. So, any equipment mileage operators I send out. If it's overtime, a holiday, they pay that rate. So, they've always been good doing that. But, um, they use us as kind of their backup backup type personnel because they will reach out to like a third party like Twendy or somebody like that first and see if they can get assistance from them first. And if they can't get somebody to come out, then they call us for help. Uh sometimes it could be an emergency and might need us pretty dang quick to come out if they have problems. So yeah, just one of those things. Uh we like to help out and try to be assistance to people if we can. And we're the only uh or only sewer district or sewer entity in the county that has the equipment to handle this kind of stuff without having to get it from the other side. So,

uh could be a good one just to have for their back pocket. Do we have other agreements with other entities, other cities or uh like we for us like us helping them? you know, helping them know that Lake Point. Yeah, just Lake Point. We do once in a while the county kind of reaches out for help if we have some issues and I've I've taken I've sent equipment out for the county to help out with the county, but then in return they've helped me out for stuff. So, but that's just kind of been, you know, here and there, but yeah, we don't really have an agreement for that. Okay, any other questions, comments? Collaboration is good. It is good. I'll entertain a motion.

Mr. Chair, I make a motion we approve resolution 2025-93, a resolution of the Tula City Council approving the renewal of an agreement with Lake Point Improvement District for sewer backup assistance. Second. We have a motion from Councilman Hansen and a second from Councilman McCall. We'll take it to a vote. Councilwoman Manzio, I Councilwoman Goes. Hi. Councilman Hansen. Hi. Councilman McCall. Hi.

I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 50. Item 10 is resolution 2025-95, a resolution of the Twil city council approving an agreement with Big T Recreation for installation of a playground at Reddale Papa/Bay Ruth Park, presented by Darwin Cook, the parks and recreation director. Uh thank you, council. Uh in this year's budget, you approved some funds in the park tax line item to replace the playground. uh very fortunately in the last uh 5 years you've been uh allocating money from the PAR tax to replace some of our aging playgrounds. Uh we decided as a parks department that this would be our next one to replace. Not so much that the playground is as bad as some of the others ones that we've replaced, but more so because it's aged to the point that none of the replacement parts are available anymore. and it is one of our smaller ones, which means uh usually if one of the features breaks, it pretty much shuts the entire play feature down. Um, so it's it's not something that we could put a block panel in and then the the playground maintains its same function. So we chose this one as the replacement for this year. Um, these are the renderings of the playground that we're going to get. This this is a smaller it's a 30x30 enclosure. And so uh if you just these are some of the slides of the of the playground that will be built there. Uh some climbing and sliding features and bridges and you know just you know try to and interact with the with the playground a little bit. Uh felt one of it was one of our better designs. We did have uh two other agencies provide designs. Uh we did go with big T. Uh all we're using basically

three different uh contractors right now and all three of them are state contractors. So really with them it's customer service that really matters right now. And Big T just does a fantastic job on their they they employ their own installation crew and they secure the site with us without us asking. Um they fence it the entire time while they're working on it to keep the the site safe and uh so we we just chose them. Price was very competitive across the across the you know all vendors. And so um any questions? Is this on the north side of that baseball field? Yep. Okay. It's right there by Vine Street.

Yeah. There's a little uh single single picnic table awning right there. And then uh and it it gets used by the neighborhoods that are around there, but I I'll admit this playground mostly gets used by the younger siblings of the baseball players. Okay. Any other questions or comments? I should mention the the price for this playground with installation and the ground ground covering or the fall surface is 84,9115 and this is funded through the part tax. So

I love that there's five cents on there. Okay, I'll entertain a motion. Mr. Cher will make a motion to approve resolution 2025-95 a resolution of Tula City Council approving an agreement with Big T recreation for installation of a playground at Redell Papa Bay Ruth Park. I'll second. We have a motion from Councilwoman Gochas and a second from Councilwoman Manzion. We'll take it to a vote. Councilman McCall. Councilman Hansen. Hi. Councilwoman Gochas. Hi. Councilwoman Manzio. I.

I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 5-0. Item 11 is resolution 2025-96, a resolution of the TW City Council approving a real estate purchase contract for the purchase of 3 acres of undeveloped property located northeast of Memory Lane, presented by Darwin Cook, the parks and recreation director. Uh just to clarify a little bit, so Memory Lane is the address that the post office has associated with our Wigwam Park. Uh so this is this is actually adjacent to the Wigwam Park. It's at the very furthest north easterly part of the pro of the project. Uh Loretta, if you have that uh map if you'll Oh, you don't have the Well, I apologize that was in the resolution. So, but um I thought that that was actually attached as part of the display. I apologize. So, at the end of that uh lot, we have a chlorinator building, and there's just some privately owned property there that we it it technically separates the city's uh uh green space area that we have up there. So, up up uh Settlement Canyon on the left hand side, we actually the city owns a significant part of open space. Um and then at Wigwam Park, we also own 15 acres of um open space. This particular piece of property actually separates our Wigwan Park property with our open space property. So, purchasing this property will actually connect the two pieces into one big piece of our property of open space. Um it's just shy of 3,000 acres, so it's like 2,992 acres. uh that will be 100% connected. Uh part, as you guys know, uh couple years, two years ago, we partnered with the county to have the Skyline Ridge

Trail placed. That's part of this property or not, sorry, not this three acres, but part of this group of properties. So, this will just help us connect the property a little bit. Uh there's also an abandoned uh city well on this property that we would like to dismantle and get closed off properly and this just gives us the easier opportunity to do that because uh it's it will now be our property. We did have a real estate agent uh provide us some uh comparisons and with the comparisons we decided on an offer of $25,000 for the 3 acres and the owners of the uh property did accept that offer and are ready to move forward with the condition as mentioned in the resolution that it maintains as open space which which is our plan anyways. So,

it only makes sense, right, to add it to the 3,000 acres or whatever. Okay. Any other questions or comments? This is great. I'll entertain a motion. Mr. Chair, I make a motion that we approve resolution 2025-96, a resolution of 20 city approving a real estate purchase contract for the purchase of 3 acres of undeveloped property located northeast of Memory Lane. Presented by Oh, I don't need to put that part in there. I'll second. We have a motion from Councilman McCall and a second from Councilman Hansen. We'll take it to a vote. Councilwoman Manzium. Hi. Councilwoman Goches. Hi. Councilman Hansen. Hi. Councilman McCall.

I And and um can I say I'm glad Loretta found that. That is great because I really wanted the people in the audience to see.

If you can see this up on there, that that right there is the reservoir. That little blue mark. And then the chlorinator is about right here. And then it's this this uh it's that darker green property is the shape of the three acres. So you can tell it's a weird piece of property. And then our wigwam park is this right here. So technically it's blocking us from connecting right here. And this will allow us to connect that whole thing. So okay. And I didn't get a vote. I'm Councilman Brady. I vote I. That passes 5. I didn't forget to vote. So that's good.

Okay. Okay. Item 12 is resolution 2025-97, a resolution of the Tula city council amending the Tula city fee schedule to increase the fee for age group age group annual membership passes at the Pratt Aquatic Center. Presented by Darwin Cook, the parks and recreation director. So um in the last couple years we've kind of improved our age group swimming to uh US swim and in so the age group was just a local uh organization within our own aquatic center. Uh the US US swim team is actually a larger more established organization and in that in that process the the fees are a little bit more uh expensive to participate in the meets uh and thereby uh as we assess that recognizing that we do need to get our fee a little more in line with the participation that we've brought into our team. It's a little more competitive and uh a little better training field for the younger kids that are coming up that want to put that as part of their uh sports interest in high school. Uh so uh Josh, our superintendent, uh went to a couple neighboring cities, did some kind of comparisons as you can see in the resolution. We compared West Valley and Murray. Uh they uh have uh West Valley has three different levels and Murray has four. And to explain the levels, it is most of the levels the bronze, the silver and the gold is kind of based upon skill level. However, the bronze is is is kind of set up for the younger uh age. They only practice for about 45 minutes. both the bronze or the sorry the silver and the gold actually

practiced for about an hour and 15 minutes. Uh but it is it is kind of geared towards skill level too. Uh so we decided in in following that same process of having three different uh three different pay scales. Currently it's all the same. Uh we are currently with the US swim we are operating those three different levels but we've currently just had a single price for all of them. Uh they also recommended or the the aquatic staff is also recommending that we offer a discount. And so what it would be is a family that has three kids their first registration would be at the listed price. The other two registrations would be at a discounted price of 10% for each of the additional ones. Any questions?

Hopefully that makes So this is different than just a normal annual membership or this is this is your if you want your child to be in competitive swimming, this is the program that they would be. Yeah. This is not your your annual membership to the aquatic center. This is an additional and the age group's really defined by your skill. Yes. Like it doesn't matter your age if you're

No. And that's why we're kind of we don't want to do necessarily by age group. I mean it be cuz that's kind of a a misnomer because it's Yeah. It's it's more the skill level that you have. Right now we kind of do youth and seniors but this is more dividing up the way that it is with the US swim. Can they only swim during that hour or can they stay? Yeah, they have a set time now. They can come and swim other times, but they they use their pass for that. So, or they just pay to enter. But so, but they do have a set time that they actually do come and practice. So, it doesn't include an annual pass. It does not.

I just wanted you for the public to hear what the old price was and the new price is.

Thank you. Yeah, the old price was $23 monthly or $250 or $280 uh annually for a current resident. A non-resident was $2375 monthly and annually was 26 or 285. It will now go to for bronze $30 monthly for resident, 35 for silver, 40 for gold, and then annual will be 360, 420, 480, and then the proposed nonresidential will be gold uh or sorry, bronze 35 monthly, silver 40, gold 45, and then the annual fees respectively would be bronze 420, 480 or sorry, silver 480, gold 4 or 540 for non-resident

which is significantly less expensive than the comparison cities. Yes, we are. We are still very significantly inexpensive. Do we do we have a lot of non-residents come out to our program? There's a there's a few that live in Stanbury, Grantsville. Oh, yeah. I don't think about them close. Yeah, just the non-resident just refers to outside of Tool City limits. Okay. All right. I I guess I'm trying to understand. So they're swimming when the public's not there or they're

they are so they're swimming in their So right as soon as the the we have a block in the 5:00 hour where they're swimming right before it basically takes place at the exact same time that swim lessons are taking place. So in the other the leisure pool they have swim lessons taking place. In the lap pool, they have the a the age group for the swim club. I wish it was tied to their annual membership just to get into the pool, but maybe I'm thinking about this wrong. Like, if you're spending 480 bucks, why can't you just go to the pool anytime you want kind of thing? So, but I don't

Well, you know, like my child played competitive soccer and we paid at least that much of an annual fee and he didn't get to go practice at the indoor facility anytime he wanted. We had to pay every time still. It's kind of the same thing. Okay. I don't know. I just feel like if they're already spending that much money, like they should I'm I'm open for suggestions. Like remember it is it is your within the charter. It is your So how much is just an annual membership, not competitive sweet?

Um I apologize. I did not have that with me. It's like three. It's like three something per and we do have a military a senior discount or a senior price on that and a military on the annuals. Maybe you would get more people involved in competitive swimming if you had some kind of deal or like how many people are in this program. Well, so two years ago we were at 40 to 45. We're approaching 100 right now. Wow. Well, I had no idea. And part of that is just we have shaken the staff up a little bit and have hired a swim coach for the the age group swimming that she's just been fantastic. So,

and this must bring in revenue for um competition. Do they hold competitions at our park? They do. They do. And then they go to competitions as well. Okay. An annual pass for a youth age 3 to 17 is $100 for resident and $105 for a non-resident. And what's the adult fee? And the adult is $180 for resident and 185 for a non-resident. And they still And then there's also a family, correct? Yeah. Yeah. And you said this is at 5:00.

Yeah. It's it's they hold it at the exact same time that they do swim lessons till 5:00. And then the public the public time opens at 6:30. So what time does the school use it? They use it up until 5. So, based on what you just said and and I said it for a reason, you can't go there until after 5, right? Right. You as a public, you can't go there until after 6:30, but you would go to your swim practice, you would have to leave and go back and pay to get back in. Sure. I mean, I'm not saying that happens, but I mean, if I was doing swim, competitive swimming, I

maybe would ask my parents, hey, can I do my hour of competitive swim and then just stay after and swim? And right, I think if you paid for the annual membership already, then you should be privileged to that to do that. I am supportive of that. I honestly am. I mean, if I'm the only one feeling that way, then once again, I'm one of five. So I just it's a hundred kids, right? Right. And we are trying to keep a fair form, too. So I mean cuz it I mean you have three kids and they're participating in this. It that's a chunk of change. I mean it honestly is. Yeah. If you're all in the gold, you're spending like 1,500 bucks or something. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. That's my opinion. I I I'm not opposed. I'm not opposed.

I'm not opposed either. I would I would support that. I don't know how you would do that if you just say part of this is you get an annual membership and it shows up on there that happens in my opinion is more people sign up for competitive swim which is a good thing right and this shows up in their profile on sportsman so they would they would have a card that they scan and we would just activate their entrance to that card. Yeah. Do you have a limit on the number of kids that can participate in competitive swim? like what does our pool hold?

I mean, we haven't necessarily because there's multiple things you could do before you reach that limit. Uh because we we're not we're not we're not forcing dry land practicing right now because we have the space, but that would just be one of the rotations that you put into it is some dry dry land, you know, uh exercises basically. Darwin, do any of this the portion of these fees go to pay for their travel when they're doing those events? It does. And and it also pays for the salaries of the staff. Yeah. We we tried to do it so that it covers that. Okay. For that coach. Yes.

And granted, it's revenue coming in versus the line item for staff. But yes, the idea is for the city to recuperate that cost. Yeah. And I I know we don't ever recuperate. We do not the pool never will run at a profit pool, right? We don't have the pool to make it as a We do not. And the public does need to understand that that this this is an amenity that we are providing to the to the public as a recreation amenity. Yeah. And if you try to run it even to break even, the cost would not be effective. We figured the minimum entry into the thing would have to be n bucks to even come close to covering and then nobody would swim

and no and then nobody would show up to swim. Yeah. No, it it definitely this is one of the benefits that a recreational benefit that we as a city are trying to offer to the the citizens. It honestly is okay. Well, I support just giving them an annual pass as and maybe we could even say if they if they purchase an annual pass to begin with then because how would you do monthly? I don't know. Is there a little month pass that they get? Okay. So, that would you just set the you just accept you just set the expire expiration for the whole month. They could swim for 30 bucks or whatever which No, I don't think kids are going to swim. You don't have to go every day almost to Yeah. What do we charge? 250 or something to

Yeah, it's 275. 270. Yeah. Okay. Well, that's my opinion. I don't know. And I councilman, I or chairman, I do support that. I honestly do. Part of our goal is to make this so that the public can use the facility. So, I'll make a motion. Okay. Make a motion. I move that we approve resolution 2025-97 amending the Tulicity fee schedule to increase the fee for age group annual membership passes at the Pratt Aquatic Center with an addition that um people who pay the fee for the age group annual membership pass would include a pass to the pool for the time that they paid entrance to the pool

for open swim that I'll We have a motion from Councilwoman Manzion and a second from Councilwoman Goes. We'll take you to a vote. Councilwoman Manzion, I. Councilwoman Goes, I. Councilman Hansen, I. Councilman McCall, I. I'm Councilman Brady and I vote I. That passes 5-0. Thank you, Council. That was a great That was a great conversation. So, thank you. And that's exactly why we come to have the discussion to resolve. The only reason I paused on the I I was going to say I say I anyway, but the only reason I paused is because what time did the pool close?

Uh on the weekdays it closes at 8:30 and then but we do have aerobics that go in after that

and and the reason for that is because even with that pass they can go there. I mean if during school hours if he's on the swim team or her on the swim team they can go with the school and swim. But for the ones that are not swimming on the swim team in the school can't swim until after 5:00 and they have to be out by 8:30. And granted, I totally understand what you're saying. We're funding this mainly because the citizens, but let's face it, if you had 50, 60, maybe 70 citizens show up at at 5:00 to swim as a as a taxpaying citizen, they wouldn't be able to swim. You know what I mean? It'd be too It'd be over over the occupancy. And again, this is not none of our doing, but I I it just irritates me that I as a taxpayer can't go to that swimming pool at 3:00.

Yeah. There's, you know what I mean? The capacity over 300. And and quite frankly, I think the school board should be paying more to the city. You should build a pool. They should build a pool. And and I I' I've actually had the superintendent tell me cuz I asked him point blank, why don't you put a swimming pool at when he was building Stanbury and he told me point blank. Pools are expensive, Dave. Yeah, they already know. We know. We know they're expensive. I'm just God, it just irritates me. Sorry, Chairman. No, you're good. That's okay. Yeah, that's another day's discussion, right?

I do appreciate the conversation because we do respect that you guys do set fee schedule, so that's why we're here. Well, I hope you get 200 kids now cuz I get Thank you. Darwin, would you would you mind staying there for just one second and and help me? Um I I would like to bring some recognition to Darwin and and I'm trying to think of what you call it, but um he is he he took a test last week which is a very difficult test to become certified certified certified as a parks and recreation professional

parks and recreation professional. He has studied and worked very hard. It is not an easy test just like our public works test. They're they're so hard to get those certifications, but he took it took it and passed it. And I'm just very proud that he took the initiative to do it and passed it all right before our employee lunch. So, it was it was very good. I just want to praise him because I'm very, very proud. Thank you. Good job. Congrats. Item 13 are invoices and purchase orders presented by Shiloh Baker, the city recorder.
