Show water service. This study shows that the golf course reservoir can serve approximately one-third of the City's secondary water needs. The City has been unsuccessful In finding funds to purchase the reservoirs. The golf course has had financial struggles. As such, the City risks losing its secondary water source and its investment In the system. Two plans have been examined by the City Council. Plan 1 would entail the city seeking a $7 million bond through Zions Bank to acquire the golf course. The Bank made a presentation on this option as invited by the council. The City Council prefers that the city avoid going into debt and keeping the golf course private. Plan 2 would assist IHC in acquiring the golf course in exchange for continued use and operation of the secondary water system, and keeping the facility private with expertise of certain staff affiliated with the golf course. It avoids the city going into debt. Mr. Tom Uriona, representing IHC, advised that IHC is constantly looking for property as communities grow in order to secure sites for future health care facilities. A large site is needed to allow for expansion. IHC is now looking in the northern part of this county to serve growth of the community. The great interstate access at the Marriott-Slaterville exit and the golf course allows for an accessible hospital. IHC hopes to be a partner with the community and does not want to force themselves into the City. The golf course property became available and would work very well for a future hospital. They will allow the golf course to continue on the site until the hospital is built. The Initial building will be 150,000 to 200,000 square feet. Technology is changing every day in hospitals. Most patients are outpatients with overnight stays only for serious reasons. The owner of the golf course has the purchase agreement in his hands, but a development agreement is needed as part of the purchase. If the City acquires land from Frank Blair, IHC would be interested in purchasing more ground that would accommodate the future hospital and preserve the golf course. Councilman Kim Slater said the Weber School District in the past has purchased property for Investment, and asked if this is what IHC does. Mr. Uriona said that SHC does not do this. Councilman Rob Smout asked if the hospital space would include medical office space for doctors, and Mr. Uriona replied in the affirmative. The development time line for the future proposed hospital depends on the growth in the broader community. The City would collect sales tax from the businesses involved. As soon as the deed is recorded it would be public information-not if but when. Resolution 2013-B authorizing the Mayor to finalize a Development Agreement with IHC was passed unanimously. City Administrator Bill Morris advised that Waste Management notified the City that they intend to increase residential solid waste collection and disposal fees charged to the City. The City seeks to recoup this cost by increasing garbage fees from $12.00 to $12.75 for the first garbage can. Each additional can cost will increase from $4.25 to $4.50. This increase should cover inflationary costs for several years. Resolution 2013-C, increasing residential solid waste collection rates was discussed and passed unanimously by the Council on May 16, 2013. Resolution 2013-D, amending the park reservation fees and policy, was also discussed by the Counci! on May 16, 2013. The Resolution increases fees for non-residents and presents two options for park reservations. Concern has risen over the use of Slaterville Park in connection to weddings by the adjoining Green Barn Gardens. Councilman Rob Smout said he has no interest in Green Barn Gardens as operated by his sister, but recused himself from the meeting to avoid the appearance of bias. Regina Smout Carver addressed the Council and said she felt whoever scheduled the park first should have access to the entire park, including the bowery and park. Councilman Scott VanLeeuwen felt it improper for a business to tie up the entire park when it is a public park. President Dennis Ilium agreed and suggested that she rent some portable restrooms rather than use park facilities. He felt that the public park should not be used to benefit a for-profit business. Councilman Deibert Hodson suggested that park policies be published in The Pioneer Post. Two options were outlined in the Resolution: 1. A person who reserves the park, reserves the whole park (the current policy). 2. Park reservations apply only to use of the bowery. Field fees apply only to use of the playing field. |
