The consent package included approval of minutes for Jan. 21, 2025; Resolution 2025‑R‑06, an interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County for traffic signal maintenance; the city’s 2025 fleet purchase and surplus list; and Resolution 2025‑R‑08, authorizing the use of an alternative voting method—ranked‑choice voting—for the 2025 municipal election contingent on state authorization. A council member moved to approve; the motion was seconded and passed on a unanimous roll call.

City staff noted that ranked‑choice voting will be used “for full elections this year as long as the legislature allows us,” and officials asked residents to monitor state bill tracking for potential changes affecting municipal election procedures. The council’s approval places the city in position to deploy ranked‑choice procedures should the state permit it prior to the election.

Roll call for the consent agenda was recorded and the motion passed without dissent. The interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County assigns traffic signal maintenance responsibilities as described in Resolution 2025‑R‑06; staff will proceed with the procurement and fleet procedures included in the approved 2025 list.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Midvale City Council 2/04/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council approved the consent agenda unanimously.

City finance staff summarized the annual comprehensive financial report and auditors from Kennington presented their findings. Marcus, an auditor for the firm, told the council auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the city’s basic financial statements and noted no internal‑control recommendations. The auditors’ state compliance review identified one minor finding: an approved meeting minute was posted to the Utah public notice website later than the three‑business‑day requirement.

Mariah Hill, city finance staff, reviewed highlights from the audited financial statements. She said Midvale’s general fund balance increased by $32,790 and that a roughly $2 million transfer to capital projects was recorded to maintain fund‑balance policy. She reported the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) fund balance rose by just over $2 million and that the city expects to budget several million dollars of RDA fund balance in FY25 for planned projects. The water enterprise fund’s working capital rose to about 160 days of operations, up from a lower level but below the 180‑day policy target; Hill said planned capital spending and earlier 2023 bond activity affect those balances. The stormwater fund showed a decrease in working capital and remains under review as staff assess a fee schedule update.

Auditors also reported that city accounting policies and internal controls were sound and that they found no instances of fraud. Councilmembers thanked finance staff and auditors for their work. The council approved Resolution 2025‑R‑07 acknowledging the audit and directing that notice be published pursuant to Utah Code Section 10‑6‑152; the motion passed by unanimous roll call.

Council members asked staff to continue monitoring enterprise fund days‑of‑operation metrics and to bring fee‑setting work (stormwater) back for council consideration as planned.","Council accepted the fiscal year 2024 annual audit after auditors issued an unmodified opinion and a single compliance finding about the timeliness of posting approved minutes to the state website.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6668541,"Midvale council adopts new parking rules for tennis and pickleball facilities",207,3968000,4175000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2220345-a0d3f826692c46f05b734a67fdd569b9&start=3968&end=4175","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2220345-a0d3f826692c46f05b734a67fdd569b9/thumbnail_3968000.jpg","/articles/6668541/Midvale/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Midvale-council-adopts-new-parking-rules-for-tennis-and-pickleball-facilities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6668541-0cfd811b2fb405a1577700dddd45abd2/orig.mp4?Expires=1774948599&Signature=Jssxj14WVZCZOGOzqJGyIMc8hw8QVoiLsz6T7ZXK3leDbB6GWSN8306YDCK9VUaMw6v3s4LLWr49FsObtgaWZNT1sR0qTM3Wq6OnSdzzro35XyYcAEMs7aBtTHGBCzqFZ5VEr8Vdk4joKaR6ohMvArEuMSaHqiKjY8taZ5uvfMM2Md31EsFdXIIIdxebrQAzeaHr--0y-QRdcsvnPlXENI5BMBJq1bVII3zg5xE9P3Bt-JutmlKwtZI3kLUFTjb1xT1YI~Y2yMRFSV7UaVIZq~o53Si6UYTHJEkbVWckrO5M0s2W71lt3TYdp73PjQbHX0LC50SpW-Vz89T~4TfpaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Midvale City Council on Feb. 4 adopted a text amendment to Title 17 of the Midvale Municipal Code establishing new parking requirements for tennis- and pickleball-only commercial recreational facilities.

City planning staff proposed a standard of six parking spaces per court, arguing that existing commercial parking requirements would have required an “over 90” stall count for a proposed six‑court facility, a number staff said was disproportionate to likely use. Elizabeth, a city planning staff member, told the council the draft language would “have six parking stalls per court for both pickleball and tennis,” noting the per‑court formula is simple to administer.

Council members raised concerns about events, employees and peak use. Councilmember Bridal Brown called the existing code calculation “crazy” for smaller, dedicated facilities and supported a per‑court approach but urged adding stalls for staff. Several council members suggested alternatives such as an additional per‑square‑foot calculation; the council settled on adding one stall per court to cover employees or on‑site managers. Staff printed a revised ordinance reflecting that change and the council later un‑tabled and approved the amended ordinance.

Planning staff said the amendment applies only to facilities that are exclusively tennis or pickleball; mixed commercial recreation facilities would remain governed by existing commercial recreation standards. Staff said the change was prompted by an application for a roughly 18,000‑square‑foot commercial pickleball facility in a clean‑industrial zone that would have been subject to the “greatest of” parking ratios in the current code.

The council approved Ordinance 2025‑O‑002 as amended. The motion passed unanimously in a roll‑call vote.

The ordinance establishes a straightforward per‑court parking metric for the growing number of standalone pickleball and tennis facilities while allowing staff to continue applying existing commercial parking standards to mixed‑use recreational developments. The council directed staff to incorporate the amended text into the municipal code and to provide the final ordinance language for the official record.","The Midvale City Council approved a text amendment to Title 17 setting parking standards for tennis- and pickleball-only commercial recreational facilities, adopting six spaces per court plus one space per court for employees after council amendments and brief debate.","actionData","errors"]
