Meeting Called to Order- 6:02 p.m. Pledge of Allegiance and Invocation by Ray Justice.

Recognitions:

Employee of the Month: Kyle Gubler awarded June Jeffery as employee of the month. June is a hard worker and very knowledgeable about her job. Mayor Wilson added that June keeps the website updated.

Mayor Wilson recognized Maurine Roberts, Judy Schultz, and Susan Hurt from the Beautification Committee. There has been a lot happen in LaVerkin through the committee. These ladies have been an effective part of those happenings, including clean up days, and tree planting. The city has planted over 40 trees in the past year. Certificates and letters of thanks were presented to the three ladies.

Wilson mentioned to the audience that the Beautification Committee would be looking for reappointments and asked for suggestions.

Presentations: Open Meeting Training: Kevin Bennett gave open meeting training to the board and committee members in attendance. Handouts were given to members of committees in attendance.

Bennett discussed by power point, the need for government to be open in its deliberations and actions. Due process needs to be given to the public through reasonable notice and an adequate opportunity to be heard. Citizens have a right to freedom of information. There is the spirit of the law and the letter of the law. People who follow the spirit of the law will follow the law because it's the right thing to do. Letter of the law people will push to see what may be had. The Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) is in Title 52 of the Utah State Code.

Government is business "in the fish bowl" because government is the public's business. Bennett reviewed the basic requirements of OPMA and which bodies are affected by it. He listed City Council, Planning Commission, Land Use Authority, Board of Adjustment, Commissions and Committees - particularly if officially set by ordinance or resolution. There are four conditions for "any administrative, advisory, executive, or legislative body of the state or its political subdivisions" that determine whether the regulations fall on the board or committee in question. Those are:

• Is created by the Utah Constitution, statute, rule, ordinance, or resolution;
• Consists of two or more persons;
• Expends, disburses, or is supported in whole or in part  by tax revenue; and
• Is vested with the authority to make decisions regarding the public's business.

Vested authority was discussed as to whether final decision lies with the body for any decision.

Bennett discussed the meaning of "quorum" and changes in the 2008 State Code, which excluded counting the mayor as quorum. Now the code allows three plus the mayor. Generally, a quorum is a majority of the members of the body.

OPMA requires minimal notice, tape recording, minutes to be kept and special rules for e-meetings.

Closed meetings are never mandatory and may only be held under very limited circumstances. Including:

• Character, professional competence, mental or physical health- not personnel matters;
• Strategy for litigation; purchase, lease, or exchange of real property;
• Security systems, devices, personnel; or
• Criminal investigations

If violation of OPMA occurs, there are civil and criminal sanctions. Suit to void final action taken, suit to compel compliance with OPMA, and Class B Misdemeanor when a public body knowingly or intentionally violates or abets/advises in the violation of any of the Closed Meeting provisions.

Bennett cited the handbooks by the League of Cities and Towns, Attorney David Church CD, and Robert's Rules as reference materials.

There was no public comment.

Public Hearings:

Budget Amendment - FY 2009-2010: This amendment is being done because the capital project funds were not included in the last amendment and includes grants for 100 E., and 300 S. Sidewalk project. There was a typo on the resolution. Both the expenditure and revenue lines should read Capital Projects Streets and verbiage should be included in the motion.

Mayor Wilson opened the public hearing.

There were no public comments.

Mayor Wilson closed the public hearing.

Unfinished Business:

Budget Amendment FY 2009-2010 - Resolution R-2010-06:

Motion by Councilmember Beecher to amend the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 budget for Fund 45 Capital Projects Streets revenue and expenditures from $40,400 to $46,252, second by Councilmember Jensen. Roll Call Vote: Stratton-yes, Beecher-yes, Jensen-yes, Justice-yes, Howard-yes. Motion carried unanimously.

Resolution R-2010-07: A Resolution affirming/confirming the Council's approval of the Summer 2009 Irrigation Line Replacement Project at 88 N. State Street, as a Capital Improvement Project.

Mayor Wilson explained that this project was completed with Water Board approval. This resolution has been created to affirm the use of capital project funds rather than operational funds.

Motion by Councilmember Justice to approve Resolution 2010-07, second by Councilmember Howard. Roll Call Vote: Howard-yes, Justice-yes, Jensen-yes, Beecher-yes, Stratton-yes.  Motion carried unanimously.

New Business:

Reinstate Council Compensation: Mayor Wilson stated that he put this item on the agenda. He gave history about suspending Council and Mayor compensation about 1 ½ years ago until the General Fund was in the black. He stated that the General Fund is in the black now and though he is still cautious, he would like to reinstate that compensation back to the Council. He continued that the Fund Equity needs to be between 5% and 18% to meet the requirements of the State Auditor and cannot include transfers. Wilson had included the reinstatement into the budget amendment in January and would recommend paying the Council as it was at the time of suspension.

Brief discussion that the amount as by ordinance was $200.00 per month.

Jensen stated that City Council suspended pay in good faith until the budget was balanced. He stated that staff has done their part to help balance the budget. Council has a lot to of responsibility, whoever is serving expends a lot of time and money to volunteer. It is a good thing to do without compensation, but in his responsibilities it helps him get where he is supposed to be. He believed it was a good time to reinstate and thanked the mayor for the work.

Mayor Wilson supported that compensation really only paid for serving on the board, but there is more expected than that, including meetings, travel, and gas. LaVerkin was probably one of the lowest paid councils in the county.

Justice wondered about the budget being in the black - in July or now? Mayor Wilson stated that the fund equity is over 18% right now.

Howard wondered if there was anything else that needed to be brought back on line before the council compensation was reinstated.

Wilson stated that he has underestimated revenues and overestimated expenditures. The money is there. The fund equity looks good; there is still caution in regards to cash flow.

Beecher stated that staff had gone without raises. He would like to take care of that. Wilson said that he would address that in the budget work meeting and that staff had unanimously encouraged this reinstatement. There would always be repairs and places where money could go - Council would be the last to be compensated.

Beecher wondered about an effective date. Wilson calculated the amended budget from January 1^st.

Motion by Councilmember Jensen to reinstate Council Compensation as of January, second by Councilmember Beecher. Roll Call Vote: Howard-yes, Justice-no, Jensen-yes, Stratton-no, Beecher-yes. Motion carried with 3 in favor, 2 opposed.

Cemetery Disinterment: Debbie Corisis applicant: Attorney James Spendlove represented Ms. Corisis. In December 2008 her mother, Florie Goodman, passed away. Florie was the wife of Bill Goodman - they married late in life. Corisis is the only daughter of Florie; Bill has four children. The head stone was purchased by the Goodman children and Corisis' name was not included in the engraving. There is on-going litigation between the family members for annuities and funds. Corisis has asked that she be allowed to disinter her mother. There is a joint head stone. Bill Goodman died about 5 months after Florie. Corisis asked the State Health Department for approval and was unable to disinter because of a clause in the LaVerkin City Code (7-6-5) stating that it was unlawful to disinter without direction from the sexton, a written statement by the Southwest Department of Health, and statement by the owner or heirs. The plot certificate was made to Bill Goodman, not Bill and Florie - as she had already passed away, so there is a question about ownership. Bill's heirs will not give permission. Corisis has already purchased another lot in the LaVerkin cemetery in which to move her mother. Laurie and Edwin Hardy, who were present, have said that Bill purchased the plot but was repaid by Ms. Corisis. Utah Administrative Rules for the Department of Health (R-436-8-4) says that permission "for disinterment and re-interment of a dead body shall be issued by the local registrar of the district where the body is interred or by the State Registrar, upon receipt of a written application signed by the next of kin and ...who is in charge of the disinterment..." Shall is mandatory. Utah State Code 26-2-17(6) states that permit is required prior to disinterment except as allowed by other rules. Spendlove discussed that when language is given "advisedly" some things are left out on purpose. It is expected that only the state requirement is necessary to get a permit for disinterment when the Health department gives approval. He suggested that because the city required more than state statute required, the city ordinance is in conflict and is invalid. If the city permits what the state says can't be permitted - the opposite is also true. Spendlove discussed that actual ownership of plots in the cemetery is by LaVerkin City and that certificate purchase allows an individual to use the plot. Bill Goodman's children as his heirs, own the plot as it is written. Spendlove held that the city ordinance is in conflict with state statute. There is possible conflict with his client and Bill's family that may not allow Florie's body to be moved. There is also a dispute as to who actually paid for the plot.

Kevin Bennett responded to Spendlove's presentation. He had looked at the statutes cited by Spendlove. Bennett stated that the local registrar as stated in the Department of Health Administrative Rule is not LaVerkin, but is an entity of the state. Bennett recited the Department of Health Administrative Rule and continued "upon receipt of a written application signed by the next of kin and the person who is in charge of the disinterment, or upon receipt of an order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing such disinterment." Bennett emphasized the following statement from the Rule: "If the next of kin are in disagreement regarding the disinterment, the State Registrar may require a court order before issuing the disinterment permit." "May" is the verbiage here. Bennett doesn't see a conflict. The State says that before a disinterment can take place, there are certain things that must be done. If they understood that there was a disagreement concerning the disinterment, they may require the court order. This has nothing to do with the city owned cemetery property. Bennett has researched other districts to find out any determination of ownership. This plot was purchased two days after Florie passed away. Bennett referred to a family plot that was given to a female relative by the owner of the plot. He is still the owner; she was just laid to rest there. There is nothing in State Code that asserts jurisdiction over cemeteries. It only gives requirements for the state. The permission that was granted by the state to Ms. Corisis was to disinter and move to Salt Lake. City Code requires permission from the owner or heirs. There is no right for the sexton or the attorney to override that Code. The picture of the headstone was taken before Mr. Goodman passed away. The plot was purchased after her death. Bennett has presented several options including 1) next of kin permission; 2) court order to decide. Moving mother is no problem, city is only the caretaker of the plot, but can't infringe on another's property right. If the law were to be changed now, it doesn't reach back to deprive rights from Mr. Goodman's heirs. It is not extremely clear cut. Because "shall" is included in one part of the rule, that doesn't bind the city. Neither does it say that is all the city can do. The city is bound by its own ordinances. The city is not in possession of paperwork to show that Corisis is the personal representative, or the only heir on her mother's side. The only paperwork available is the plot certificate after her mother's death in the name of someone else. Staff has no problem with the movement, but needs the means to get there.

Spendlove stated that Corisis is the only daughter of Florie Goodman, Bill's next of kin are his four children. If a court order is requested, the state registrar will then "wash his hands" of the issue and let a judge decide. The statute doesn't say that the city has the ability to push off the decision onto a judge. The permit is the only requirement from the state. There is not a lot of law on this. The state didn't include because of advisability - purposely leaving out. Once the permit is granted, if the city applies its own code, people have to jump through hoops in every city. The purchase should have included both names, even though Florie had passed away. He's now dead and is still the listed owner. The application shows both names, the certificate shows only his. Spendlove is not necessarily looking for a decision. The options from Bennett include agreements from the adverse party, which is not going to happen.

Discussion between Spendlove and the Council included that Mr. Goodman's family is still thinking about it. Ms. Corisis' name on the current headstone was an absolute "no" from the Goodman heirs. Changing the ordinance will not reach back and affect the heir rights. If the city affects those rights it becomes a city issue. Parties need to come together or have the court do it for them.

Mayor Wilson suggested that Council table the issue and take time to ponder. Discussion that if it goes to the table someone would have to bring it back in the future. Spendlove supported that if it is tabled, there would be time to look at and come back to visit. It was possible that a settlement may happen from a legal standpoint. The city runs the risk of being involved either way - rights inherent to cemetery plot, or challenge for invalid LaVerkin Code. He believes that tabling would be a reasonable position until further inquiry.

Motion by Councilmember Beecher to table, second by Councilmember Stratton. Motion carried unanimously.

Staff, Mayor, & Council Reports:

City Administrator: Kyle Gubler reported that the water project had its preconstruction meeting and the company is mobilizing now.

Derek Imlay will report further.

Scott Stratton will report on the Fire District.

Names of festival volunteers were sent to Hugh Howard.

Kyle Gubler, Derek Imlay, and Doug Gubler met with the Division of Water Resources on the Irrigation Filter Project. The state officials were optimistic about the funding.

Leeds water master is selling the same filters LaVerkin is looking to buy. They are 10" not 12".

Solid Waste District has sent two waivers to allow residents who may otherwise be charged a fee for dumping, for the city to give out. The waivers are good for 48 hours. Phil Jensen explained that the District is starting with two and may go up depending on the course of events. Jensen will meet with Gubler to discuss the use of the waivers.

Monthly staff meeting was held earlier today. Encouraged all workers to be engaged in their jobs.

Questions from Council about the Leeds filters. They were installed incorrectly and have never worked for the city. LaVerkin will be filtering before the main filters, and there shouldn't be a design problem. Discussion about using combination of 10" and 12". Leeds also had a limited space for their installation.

Public Safety: Lloyd Watkins has received stat report from the state. 2008 comparisons. Rough numbers are posted on the website. Department meeting today. Kade Hall has been asked to take on sergeant role to allow Chief to do more policy, grants, and administrative duties.

Questions from Council about dog napping. Chief stated that there have been three missing dogs. There is nothing to go on. Hugh Howard stated that two Yorkies were taken out of his daughter's yard. Watkins said that would be the second set of Yorkies that have been taken. He had not been given any information about Howard's dogs.

Director of Operations: Derek Imlay stated that he and Doug Gubler will have a walk through the State Street project with Hawkins on Thursday. The work will begin on Monday, 8^th and will last 75 calendar days.

There was also a road issue at the Toquerville Falls. Representatives from Hurricane, LaVerkin, County, Toquerville, and BLM met about repairing the washed out road. All parties will be involved with the repair in March, using their own equipment and personnel.

Every second Thursday there will be coordination to work with boys homes here to take a section of the city, sweep the street and clean the curbs/gutters. Should allow the whole town to be done three times in a year. Pothole maintenance will be done on the same type schedule.

The department is in the process of trimming trees. Just finished between 300 N to 380 N. Will be doing the cemetery and Main Street next.

Treasurer: Troylinn Benson reported that she, Mayor Wilson, and June Jeffery travelled to Richfield to close on the bond. The first draw was taken today. Benson will be taking a vacation and will be gone after Monday. Kyle will be doing the financial reports until after the 1^st of March. Benson will be available by email or phone.

Mayor & Council as follows:

Mayor Wilson: Wilson requested that Troylinn or June get with Derral Eves to look at reading the traffic on the website.

He attended the Council of Government to view a corridor presentation. A new $10.00 fee will be added to car registration. The plan is to make sure that corridor roads connect cities. LaVerkin has three ways in/three ways out. Will participate as necessary.

Mayor Association discussed H1N1. Washington County had five deaths. At one time, the hospital was full to capacity for a short period of time, but were able to handle the concern. Karl will get with Lloyd.

Wilson wondered about the correct spelling of LaVerkin. Old documents show a space between "La" and "V". Jeffery explained that Incorporation Papers show a space, but with the advent of computers and ease of searching, the space had been dropped.

Jensen: Attended Don't Waste Dixie. Grayson Gubler will have cleanup as an Eagle Project.

Recycling is increasing. LaVerkin participation is good.

Solid Waste District meeting Monday 8^th.

Justice: No report

Beecher: Beautification Committee met prior to Council. There was a big hole without the three ladies that resigned. The committee discussed plans for the crescent area across from Chevron. There should be a visual available in the next couple of months.

The website is looking good. Need to add LTEC to the Economic Development section. Creatus should be adding video shots to this section as part of the contract.

Stratton: Ash Creek is looking at a new capital facilities plan. Will probably include an impact fee reduction from $4031 to about $2400.

There is action from developers and contractors to allow the payment of impact fees at the time of CO rather than at the time of permit. Need to have an assurance that the fees will actually be paid.

Questioned traffic light not changing for east/west travel when there is no traffic on State Street. Ray Justice said that in talking with UDOT, the timer is set for the expected amount of traffic on SR9. It takes time for the light to change because of the expected traffic flow and timing. Street light replacement helps with activating the traffic light because movement is easier detected. Derek will put a meeting together with Scott, Phil, Ray and the UDOT representative.

Fire District is moving ahead. Still a couple of issues with funding. Will continue as is until other plans. Looking at mil levy. Hurricane City is looking for the District to pay back the equipment and assets. Discussion that the equipment was purchased by the tax payers in all districts. There will be more discussion in the District.

Howard: Easter Egg Hunt volunteers are Mary and Martha Gubler.

Adjourn: Motion by Councilmember Justice to adjourn from the regular meeting with a brief recess before the work meeting, second by Councilmember Beecher. Motion carried unanimously. 8:00 p.m.

Work Meeting:

Present: Mayor Karl Wilson; Councilmembers Ray Justice, Doug Beecher, Phil Jensen, Scott Stratton; Staff: Kyle Gubler, Attorney Kevin Bennett, Chief Lloyd Watkins, June Jeffery, Derek Imlay, Troylinn Benson, Rory Johnson; Public:

Call to Order: Mayor Wilson at 8:10 p.m.

FY10-11 Budget: Mayor Wilson referenced the Kiplinger Letter economic forecast included in the work packet for Council interest.

The budget as it is presented is not balanced yet. It shows actuals spent in the current budget year so far. He would like to have another work meeting following the next council meeting. Would like councilmembers to bring wish lists.

The pie chart shows percentages of expenditures in the General Fund for this draft - not balanced with the revenues.

Sales tax is decreasing, this is a cautious budget. Property tax may go down or up depending on the mil levy/Truth in Taxation decision.

B&C Road fund has been maintained.

Mayor Wilson and Troylinn Benson are still working to clean up account codes. Wilson would like to add "legal" another year as a line budget.

There are payroll issues particularly where insurance is concerned. Those rates should be available by March. This budget leaves that item where it was last year. Retirement is changing and has gone up. COLA, Merit, Overtime and part time have been built into the draft.

Sewer fund is a little red, but will be balanced in fund equity. Garbage is a healthy fund, transferring out as labor. Drainage includes Derek, Doug, Karl, Chief cleaning gutters with storms etc. Tracking staff hours. Admin Garbage Fund part of utility billing. These have been weighted this year.

Derek has requested a track hoe and equipment. These would have been operational, but now capitalized. Operation includes interest, Capital includes the equipment. Will check with Pelorus. Derek explained the purchase of the track hoe would allow work in small spaces with limited access - for irrigation maintenance where lines run through properties, and at the cemetery to dig graves. Will conserve labor and time. Back hoe tears up grass and needs bigger space to work. Can possibly get at 2.9% interest, will look at several angles to purchase. Funds are available. There was discussion that used equipment and auctions could be a way to look at the purchase.

Wilson pointed out that the draft shows a short fall in the General Fund of $156,806 and includes wish lists. Need to maintain the 5-18% balance in the fund equity. Also need to designate fund to cover requirement of COPS grant 4^th year.

Street Bond is paid off. In the Cemetery Fund, would like to recover perpetual care balance to $35,000.

Council would like to take the budget and review before the next council meeting with a work meeting following the regular meeting.

Adjourn: Motion by Councilmember Beecher, second by Councilmember Justice. Motion carried unanimously. 8:37 p.m.
