Finance Director John Veidt described a bundle of adjustments and one-time expenditures across multiple funds; council members discussed specifics and removed a duplicated line item before final approval.

Major items in the amendment as described by staff include:

- Police impact fees: Reallocation of available cash including a transfer of $550,000 to ensure compliance with impact-fee restrictions.
- Port of Rockwell Trail access (1300 East): Request to use $150,000 from parks impact fees for access improvements.
- Bubbling Brook pickleball courts: An additional $150,000 requested after bids came in higher than estimated, bringing the total project budget to $250,000; the HOA previously contributed $10,000 and the original budget included $90,000 from park impact fees.
- Cranberry Hills to Porter Rockwell Trail access: $41,000 from parks impact fees to finalize an easement and approach approved previously by UTA; owner willing to donate the land as an easement.
- Ambulance power-load system: $82,500 from the ambulance fund for a new power-load stretcher and related equipment tied to a new ambulance.
- Temporary office trailer: $40,000 (including $30,000 for a configured container and $10,000 for networking) to create office space on city-owned property for public services and fire operations.
- SWAT Bearcat vehicle: Additional $69,000 to cover the final bid (total $369,000), following an earlier council approval of an estimated $300,000.
- Alcohol-enforcement dash equipment and program: $95,000 drawn from restricted state funding already held for that purpose.
- Stormwater and 700 West improvements: Use of stormwater impact fees to bridge a funding gap; $180,000 total project budget for the 700 West stormwater work, and other stormwater project increases including an additional $500,000 to bring a separate storm-drain project to $1.25 million (impact-fee-driven; staff noted these funds must be spent within the fiscal year).
- Pavement maintenance: Plan to set the annual pavement-maintenance program to $3,000,000 (council noted current balance and the intent to reach that level).
- Point Project contingency: $100,000 from general fund balance to support initial assessments and allow reimbursement from the Point Project later.
- U.S. Department of Energy grant: The city was awarded $117,100 to replace approximately 1,200 streetlights with high-efficiency fixtures; staff said federal approval and guidance will be followed before spending.

During the council discussion council members asked staff where specific small contributions (for example the HOA $10,000) appeared in project budgets; Veidt explained the original split between HOA and impact-fee funding. Council members also asked about timelines for the DOE streetlight replacements and staff said the work will be phased and done with existing personnel; it may take time to complete all fixtures.

A duplicate line item (25-33) was removed from the resolution before the final motion. A council member moved to approve Resolution 25-05 without the duplicated line item; another council member seconded and the resolution passed 5-0 on roll call.

Ending: Staff will track the amended balances and ensure impact-fee requirements and federal grant conditions are met as projects proceed; several items require subsequent procurement, grant compliance and project-level engineering and will return to council as needed for contract approvals.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Draper City Council February 4, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Draper City Council voted unanimously to adopt Resolution 25-05, the third-quarter budget amendment covering impact-fee reallocations and a set of one-time capital and equipment purchases.","taxTitle","Draper City Council, Draper , Salt Lake County, Utah","taxId",21432,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6342432,"Council approves South Willow rezoning to RA-2; applicant to improve private access road to meet code (Ordinance 16-33)",431,2669000,3100000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2255114-06b8f890a8d94b5e2a802119d256e518&start=2669&end=3100","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2255114-06b8f890a8d94b5e2a802119d256e518/thumbnail_2669000.jpg","/articles/6342432/Utah/Council-approves-South-Willow-rezoning-to-RA-2-applicant-to-improve-private-access-road-to-meet-code-Ordinance-16-33","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6342432-e77890513008917981d5a6b4b4d55edf/orig.mp4?Expires=1775903165&Signature=nqbqCHCFQgnnPGiW0b5S3hAbNhoAF6WhVuERcTvFivaDrCN2oj8i4kFDTRkmknk1Fut~5h-9EW162n0azfYknY2K5sGGO3GCJfK5VUIeM0z07IrpEJMlh4fe5ED2n9wvMJdF-pBFRklR1ij71AuoNK4ZqzON3FX4rVrDgwT1WgVWO~BW9vpfLPh6u85TjOKkBpSNI3qCOr2EjXZ-Q6BKWyfZkBrIflYK7z4-wTVXMDGMhFjwDXW1lWxm1oHkc2a9XurF8tjOJ5mcut31CcOiC4iwRxm7KyPuUUaZlNl1SmogGcEffytdL1W-515AG2hhEPlGw6pajEFIuRnnBzurHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Draper City Council voted 5-0 to approve Ordinance 16-33, amending the zoning map for about 2.465 acres at 1516 East 13800 South from RA-1 (40,000-square-foot minimum lots) to RA-2 (20,000-square-foot minimum lots). Planning staff said the proposed zone is compatible with the land-use map and that the Planning Commission recommended approval by a 5-0 vote on Jan. 9, 2025.

Nick Whitaker of Draper planning staff explained the proposal and said the development would be consistent with surrounding R2 zoning. Applicant representative Brandon Preece of Gilson Engineering told the council the planned access road would be a 30-foot right-of-way, paved with curb and gutter, similar to neighboring subdivisions, and would address concerns about fire apparatus access raised at the Planning Commission.

Neighbor Tim Johnson, who said he lives at 490 East 13800 South and uses the existing back access, told the council he was mainly concerned about road width for fire apparatus. \"I know he's mentioning 25 feet. I believe the current code is supposed to be 26 feet... It's 31 feet total with curb and gutter,\" Johnson said. Planning staff replied that final compliance, including fire access dimensions, will be reviewed at subdivision application and building permit stages and that any outstanding issues would be addressed then.

After the public hearing and discussion, a council member moved approval, another seconded, and the ordinance passed unanimously. The motion instructed staff to verify that the final road section and other site improvements meet city code, including fire-code access requirements, during the subdivision review.

Ending: Applicant will submit formal subdivision plans and staff will ensure the access road and other infrastructure meet city and fire-code standards before final approval.","Draper City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 16-33 to rezone approximately 2.465 acres at 1516 East 13800 South from RA-1 to RA-2.

Todd Taylor, city planning staff, told the council the development agreement would allow a reduced right-of-way width on the portion of Costanza Way immediately north of the subject parcels and would remove the sidewalk requirement from that segment. \"The planning commission heard this on October 10 and forwarded a positive recommendation to the city council,\" Taylor said during his presentation.

Applicant Chad Evans, who owns one of the properties, told the council the families intended to keep the site low-density to preserve the existing rural character and neighborhood trail access. \"We're doing this for basically two reasons. State family planning is number one... we want to preserve that feeling of friend and family,\" Evans said, describing the proposed four-lot plan and local trail use.

After a brief public hearing with no public comment, a council member moved to approve the ordinance and another council member seconded. The ordinance passed on a 5-0 roll call. The development agreement allows conceptual placement of four lots as shown in the submitted master plan and removes sidewalk requirements for the specified segment of Costanza Way.

Ending: The development agreement also constrains future development to the four lots and sets the reduced right-of-way width in the roadway section adjacent to the parcels; staff will process subsequent subdivision and building permits under the approved zone and development agreement.","Draper City Council unanimously approved Ordinance 16-32, rezoning about 4.44 acres on Costanza Way from A-5 to RA-2 and limiting the site to four lots and a reduced right-of-way; the Planning Commission had recommended approval.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6342441,"Draper City staff presents 3-year budget framework and options to preserve expiring bond capacity for community center",1190,146000,1336000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2255114-06b8f890a8d94b5e2a802119d256e518&start=146&end=1336","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2255114-06b8f890a8d94b5e2a802119d256e518/thumbnail_146000.jpg","/articles/6342441/Utah/Draper-City-staff-presents-3-year-budget-framework-and-options-to-preserve-expiring-bond-capacity-for-community-center","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6342441-247e2b4639a6d27cec4fe4b369eddbc0/orig.mp4?Expires=1775903165&Signature=g-yKzvcFfIz2Pn1njCMMenjHtd7PKMlYXDrvPbVQA~STBYrLP0ZkAY7XJ5j6-AlLGMNWMf0Tg4fT0oNNLUW2C2Jg3GmTTrg8zqP~ATd~gWzNi2jGK1TKJ1ZR2bpkz-JE2b7V0LxNfgYSfjKdeMWs-j94Oi~Wz3UhLD2Btq3-NAaq4~4KBFBoxS~IXA-sXFDMoObpYNWZ1h-RT2ev5~cEXVyD~CiQbrOKPMCpm7iP8YIqAAzb~aHITU98NIBgdBERY1nYKVRLpKci~YNHOzBg~D7zOek8GRTY7lx~IRbXpeWlBaMlt1v9cwo4PkpsnrFD4R6wa9nCCtmJfmQh9l6wwg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","John Veidt, Draper City finance director, presented a proposed three-year budgeting framework and a 10-year outlook to the Draper City Council, laying out funding choices including sales-tax measures, maintaining the current property tax rate through the truth-in-taxation process, or pursuing a future general obligation bond for capital projects such as a community center.

Veidt said the city is reviewing a range of options for funding capital needs and emphasized that different mechanisms have different procedural requirements and voter implications. \"One of the scary things about talking about budgets is it always means that you gotta talk about how are you gonna fund it,\" Veidt said during the council discussion, adding that staff will return with more detailed numbers in March and at the council retreat.

The presentation highlighted three large categories of future expense: fleet replacement, building maintenance and repairs, and personnel. Veidt told the council the city maintains roughly 234 frontline vehicles (police cars, fire trucks, snow plows) and estimated replacement costs for that subset at about $30 million, or roughly $3 million per year in a steady replacement program. He also noted the city now manages 22 buildings that will require periodic roof, HVAC and other capital repairs.

On funding the community center discussed by council members, staff pointed out that a general obligation bond previously used by the city will expire this fiscal year. Veidt explained that maintaining the same property tax rate through a truth-in-taxation process would allow the city to collect roughly an additional $500,000 annually (as presented) that could be set aside for future capital needs. \"If we adjust and maintain the property tax rate, there would be about a half a million dollars,\" Veidt said, calling the approach a way to \"start a nest egg\" for long-term projects rather than waiting to request a large tax increase later.

Council members discussed alternatives including sales-tax financing, impact fees, user-fee bonds and voting on a new general obligation bond. Veidt and staff cautioned that each option carries timing and legal constraints — for example, a general obligation bond requires voter approval and bond counsel guidance on timing and expenditure deadlines. Veidt also noted that some funding choices (such as maintaining tax rate via truth-in-taxation) would require public hearings and formal truth-in-taxation procedures.

Veidt asked the council what guidance staff should use in preparing the March materials and retreat discussion. He said department directors were asked for data-driven staffing requests (for example, officers per thousand residents, lane miles per person, park acreage per person) rather than wish lists, and staff will bring department-level requests to the retreat. The council did not take formal action at the meeting; staff will provide the requested numerical options and scenario analyses at future sessions.

Ending: Veidt said staff will circulate the draft plan and numbers ahead of the retreat and is available to meet individually with council members. Council members said they want scenario analyses showing trade-offs (time to build, tax impact, and likely voter reaction) before deciding on a formal financing path.","City finance staff outlined a three-year budget and 10-year outlook, including fleet and building replacement needs, and discussed using the expiring general obligation bond capacity to set aside about $500,000 a year toward a community center. No formal vote was taken; staff will return with numbers in March and at an upcoming retreat.","actionData","errors"]
