The council voted unanimously to: extend the city’s solid‑waste, green‑waste and recycling services contract with ACE Disposal for two years with a 5% rate increase in each of the two years; enter a multi‑jurisdiction IT mutual‑aid agreement that provides up to 40 hours of aid per participating city and directs staff to report back with estimated training costs under Section 10; approve a concessions‑use agreement with a local youth organization at a flat fee of $1 for the season term; and award the 400 East/First South‑to‑Pages Lane ADA Ped Ramp Replacement project to Albertsons Concrete and Construction for $260,300. The council also approved routine meeting minutes and appointed Gary Woodrow from the tree board to the planning commission.

The solid‑waste extension, presented by staff, follows the city’s 2018 five‑year contract that allowed two two‑year extensions. Staff told council the new two‑year extension would come with a 5% increase in year one and a 5% increase in year two; staff noted there had been no rate increases during the initial 2018 term and that earlier extensions had included larger increases (staff cited prior increases of about 7.1% and 3.3% in earlier extension years). A representative from ACE Disposal, Don Begley, addressed council and described equipment and labor pressures the company is seeing; the company said it would welcome discussions about the city taking ownership of recycling (blue) containers after the contract extension.

On the IT agreement, Lisa Bednarz (city staff) described a mutual‑aid arrangement developed by several larger cities to share IT personnel and technical resources during emergencies such as ransomware incidents. The agreement includes a provision (Section 10) that training opportunities may be jointly developed and that participating jurisdictions would “equally share in the costs and expenses of such training.” Council members asked staff to get clearer estimates of how training costs have been handled to date and to report expected per‑city or per‑person costs before the city commits to ongoing training expenses; council voted to approve the agreement and directed staff to return with cost details.

Haley Turner (parks staff) presented the concession‑use agreement offering community‑park concession use to a local youth football fundraising group (operating under the Use Conference/Viewmont youth football umbrella). Council approved the agreement with a token city fee of $1 for the season so the organization can operate concessions using volunteers; council and staff noted the group’s use is permissive (the organization is not contractually obligated to operate every game) and that any cancellation must be communicated in writing.

Public works staff presented the low bid of $260,300 from Albertsons Concrete and Construction for ADA curb‑ramp replacements ahead of a larger street reconstruction project; council voted to award the contract. Councilmembers asked staff to inventory existing ped ramps and follow up on a handful of locations where textured inserts or pavers have proven brittle or slick in winter conditions.

Votes (summary): yes 5, no 0 for each of the major items listed above. No roll‑call votes naming every member were recorded verbatim in the transcript; the meeting record shows unanimous affirmations by council members present.

The council directed several follow‑ups: staff to return with training‑cost estimates for the IT mutual‑aid agreement (Section 10), continued conversations with ACE Disposal about blue‑can ownership and longer‑term procurement, and a public accounting of ped‑ramp materials and longevity for future spec updates.

\"We would like them to own our blue cans,\" a staff summary said in the discussion of the ACE contract, reflecting the vendor preference for long‑term service continuity; council asked staff to explore options during the two‑year extension. The motion to extend the waste contract and the other motions passed unanimously, and staff was instructed to return with the requested clarifications and cost figures.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","March 4, 2025 City Council","oneSentenceSummary","Centerville City Council on Monday approved several operational contracts, an intercity IT mutual‑aid pact and a $260,300 ADA ped‑ramp contract award, and appointed a planning commissioner — all by unanimous votes.","taxTitle","Centerville City Council, Centerville, Davis County, Utah","taxId",21218,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6297289,"Councilors warn of state bills that could limit local land‑use control and impose exemptions for fees",592,4596000,5188000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2510308-75d29cf3c91ae0496e99d686e2d48259&start=4596&end=5188","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2510308-75d29cf3c91ae0496e99d686e2d48259/thumbnail_4596000.jpg","/articles/6297289/Utah/Councilors-warn-of-state-bills-that-could-limit-local-landuse-control-and-impose-exemptions-for-fees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6297289-d151fbc67e2504174f843f90fb0b0ba1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185984&Signature=TnTai1lS327qH33~gWTh-dZvxvpDK8bgVd7MqkB9v7z1FvrSzGmV~OHJSO3OVkBhQL2CYHxvYfoUGPqZbhrDAeYVpQwPFQZWAFz73ma1XggxDx4p-OpY0d1EvcgzucS7bmBeJTlBsH3fYzrdxhlVgcw3oXEpCXmn7wyVI8-SsOrtXEDuZlz5k5ioyNZSBJ93G0YoczRlRyvALB~FOC8R8rr7~-Ixqy5730Wuqwc2SwATrz9a-8etdTuWpKy2YXG-E2GedmHu0ImUoUYqAEKjbI-mR0lg1kePVrgc4ue4kT53BAIHI0-aoLAoizHuSwY0G4I5exeTvVZSpRE1m6ESIg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Councilmembers used their report segment to flag two pieces of state legislation and ask staff and Centerville’s legislative contacts to monitor and, if necessary, oppose elements that could limit local authority.

Council members described Senate Bill 337 — introduced late in the session — as a proposal to create a new Beehive Economic Development Corporation with the authority to pursue cross‑jurisdictional projects the bill’s proponents describe as \"legacy projects\" benefiting the state. According to council discussion, the draft language would allow the entity to retain a large share of tax increment or taxable revenue generated within a designated area (the meeting record cited a 75% retention figure discussed in committee) and could allow projects to proceed that cross city boundaries. Council members said the bill as drafted risks reducing local governments’ consent or bargaining position on large development projects and that the League of Cities and Towns convened an emergency meeting after the bill hit the docket.

Separately council discussed a substitute amendment being considered on a tax/fee bill (Senate Bill 310 was discussed in meeting remarks as an example of recent fee/substitute activity) that reintroduces exemptions for certain organizations from municipal fees. Council members said an amendment reinstating exemptions for religious organizations would, in their view, erode equitable fee application for services such as drainage and other municipal utilities. Council members urged coordination with the city’s legislative contacts and with county and League representatives; they asked staff to brief the delegation and to provide talking points before the session’s final days.

No formal council position was adopted at the meeting, but members indicated the city’s legislative liaisons should pursue clarity and potential amendments; staff said they would continue coordination with the League and report back.","Council members raised alarms about Senate Bill 337 and other late session measures they said could erode local land‑use authority and reintroduce fee exemptions for certain organizations; the city’s legislative liaisons and the League of Cities and Towns were discussing responses.",{"_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":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6297294,"Council schedules follow‑up on drainage rate increase; staff to present analysis at next regular meeting",98,5668000,5766000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2510308-75d29cf3c91ae0496e99d686e2d48259&start=5668&end=5766","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2510308-75d29cf3c91ae0496e99d686e2d48259/thumbnail_5668000.jpg","/articles/6297294/Utah/Council-schedules-followup-on-drainage-rate-increase-staff-to-present-analysis-at-next-regular-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6297294-0bc2502e8a81a0a641d259c202b792ee/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185984&Signature=FQhpsHkq0i5c5QO3FIRfNNqzhSeF3xpCBxl~52c-9nJ-ARpmXqJ0eoBLI98uLEOvqURgLTzzueCVjgRlTyGw1k777hbCQJ-Q8I3tDqgooH0~c40PAqtbGgh0Jq67EaGIyCmyleT4Uq4hxscHyTZ8WtHKZruM0aHbay8NmPwqm6E~rdxkfrjcYMGpoIZBAQuEQ8dBFvIHZ4aHJkZSrg5c8nn-4LeaMSRATMQMHthOsRsl-yMzzOZY4GhEpcMt2K-u54Xjjt~bEsa8hdrvL8OJzR8R6nlpDqXZud4SWbTydii30RXyGrN554O3Yps7p0Yd0IlpW6DKHcRNYKyzLkiFUw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff and council discussed the city’s pending drainage rate increase and agreed to schedule a follow‑up presentation at the next regular council meeting to walk through the rate analysis and audit work before the rate appears on resident bills.

Brent (city manager) reminded council the rate change has an effective date of March 26 and will show up on customer bills beginning May 1; councilmembers asked for an additional public presentation and an open‑house option so residents can review the analysis and ask questions. Staff proposed a focused presentation from Public Works at the next meeting and said that approach will be recorded and available to residents who cannot attend in person.

Council discussed whether to delay the effective date but concluded the proposed timeline still provides adequate notice and that further public outreach — reporting on the audit and the drainage rate analysis — would be the preferred next step. Staff will prepare materials and a council agenda item that explains the basis for the 50% increase, uses of the additional revenue, and options for bill phasing if necessary.

No change to the March 26 effective date was made during the meeting; council members said they want the public presentation and additional materials before finalizing any further calendar changes.","Centerville staff and council discussed the planned 50% drainage rate increase (effective March 26 for billing beginning May 1) and agreed to a dedicated council presentation and public outreach on the analysis and audit.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6297298,"Centerville Rotary asks council to help fund Dolly Parton Imagination Library enrollment",348,900000,1248000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2510308-75d29cf3c91ae0496e99d686e2d48259&start=900&end=1248","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2510308-75d29cf3c91ae0496e99d686e2d48259/thumbnail_900000.jpg","/articles/6297298/Utah/Centerville-Rotary-asks-council-to-help-fund-Dolly-Parton-Imagination-Library-enrollment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6297298-7525bbe74b331e796693b7d8c1d5e111/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185984&Signature=NXV3mWhDi9ecAMcc4r9HEZPWPDllMVRRPzz2KrKzw1jiRKjoquLv0lHA57Y2HsQ9RS~dJGh6Xo24olHm-vd84nqq2P8GemHjMBbY7TahW2~UpPtgu7jUkCb1~rSj9anPVvUt14KjZNRLNqnpxsThHqrfHPDjSlQ7rj7C9At3TAfE6vmTrM8uZ71P3VHkX0z3KyYZZNOXqVA6fsdWhZ-TfZOrN73xz-Rqw1mIZd5H~Bjp66PB1GAaHRrsRfL4yFZ5kaW5ZkcmAiKbDaGLtZL7FmCsOGfDViYnwTuQV9FyT8SPJ72DjkacfiROVRwbL4lILgDjBi3YlVIyw9eGJnK3Yg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Bryce Peterson, past president of the Centerville‑Farmington Rotary Club, used the council’s open‑session forum to ask Centerville leaders to help expand local enrollment in the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, a nonprofit program that mails age‑appropriate books monthly to children.

Peterson told the council the program costs about $2.60 per book per month (about $31 per child per year) and that his group has enrolled 22 Centerville children since launching six weeks earlier. He said census estimates show roughly 1,042 children under age five live in Centerville and that local enrollment could grow substantially; the Dolly Parton program’s local partner estimates a 60% enrollment cap over about five years in a fully resourced rollout. Peterson asked the council to consider funding roughly 50% of the per‑child cost for enrolled Centerville children; he said a full‑funding scenario to reach the 60% estimate would cost about $18,000 per year.

Peterson said the program is run by volunteers locally and that raised funds are used to buy and mail books; the national program handles book selection and fulfillment. He also said some titles are bilingual (English/Spanish) and that scholarships and targeted outreach would help sign up eligible households. Council members asked for clarification on the funding ask and enrollment mechanics; Peterson said funds are drawn down monthly as books are mailed and that his group has already raised money and issued an initial $5,000 check to the program.

No formal council action was taken at the meeting; councilmembers encouraged outreach and suggested the organizer return with a formal funding request or partnership plan for staff review.","A Rotary organizer asked the Centerville City Council during open session to help fund enrollment in the Dolly Parton Imagination Library for children under 5; he requested the city cover roughly 50% per enrolled child and provided cost and enrollment figures.","actionData","errors"]
