The speaker, identified as Preston, told the council he had counted seven homes currently hosting short-term rentals in Roosevelt and suggested increasing allowable units \"up to 20\" and loosening placement restrictions. \"I just noticed out how much Airbnb traffic we have in Roosevelt,\" he said. \"...it'd be good to have that up to 20, something like that.\" He recommended the city re-evaluate limits and zoning restrictions as the community develops recreational attractions.

Council members said the city had adopted a state-required short-term rental policy and zoning restrictions and that staff would consider revisiting placement or caps at a later date. \"We put it in because we were required by the state to have [a policy], and so we put it in. But we definitely can look at some of those things,\" Councilman White said. Council did not take any action at the meeting.

The council and staff noted short-term rentals are permitted in some commercial and mixed-use zones. The council asked staff to keep the topic for future discussion rather than making immediate changes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Roosevelt City Council Meeting March 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A resident urged Roosevelt City to relax restrictions on short-term rentals and Airbnb listings, saying they boost visitation and economic activity; council members said the city must follow state-required policy and will consider revisiting zoning and placement rules in the future.","taxTitle","Roosevelt City Council, Roosevelt , Duchesne County, Utah","taxId",21324,"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},6125482,"Council awards 2025 street-reconstruction contract to BHI after bid review",253,3258000,3511000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2677013-2424af3afed04ed69ed40aadacc515d9&start=3258&end=3511","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2677013-2424af3afed04ed69ed40aadacc515d9/thumbnail_3258000.jpg","/articles/6125482/Utah/Council-awards-2025-street-reconstruction-contract-to-BHI-after-bid-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6125482-370341488299db35189eb9817030918a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178559&Signature=TjB2tPT6D~xB8kpeO~iX05wUd0kW6NgGAMsdb8-eLs-4HVlRe5Pli3n2xtLRGo-NKlRzCapma2ksStw6SflePGk8GspO6GVYCv3ae14QXjQYSOmqGWtKRMqBad129LJsT~7s1mfdKiNYwIqDvkVWX-J1W-uzipMHsMwIKxt5VWrcpjRqX9g2wx9nX5Ou09ogrQDeuWDiFM9xCBy7ar3TSQtCpR~M5F9RWU-tLXSJeupKahA1HWIfbQUKC8kz7-CkkBQg6YG8hLb1f5chjLeAWv2ahY~64H3Dv7i~lumqIA77fZL7gQpBFpaAgbOFG3ZbmEoQrecfVm6BooSBrD945w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Roosevelt City Council awarded its 2025 street and root reconstruction project to BHI after staff reviewed bids and contractor references.

The city received three bids for the project. Staff said the engineer's estimate was $2,298,460. The apparent lowest bid was from HMH Excavation at $1,998,571.48; BHI bid $2,075,471; TNT General Contractors submitted $2,337,854.96. City staff and the project engineer reported that HMH’s bid contained unusually low line-item asphalt pricing and that reference checks produced concerns about similar road-construction projects.

\"We did some reference checks and there were some not-so-favorable things, and we haven't worked with them in the past,\" an engineer recommended, explaining that BHI offered a better combination of experience and reliable references. The council accepted the staff recommendation and approved awarding the contract to BHI. Councilman White moved to award the bid to BHI; Councilman Allen seconded. The motion passed with all council members present voting aye.

Staff said the award will proceed to contract execution and that construction and schedule details will be coordinated with the city’s public-works department. The project covers various roads in the city and also includes repairs to water infrastructure in locations identified by the city’s street-maintenance program.","After evaluating three bids and checking references, council awarded the 2025 street and root reconstruction contract to BHI for the best balance of price and demonstrated experience; the apparent low bidder raised reference concerns, leading staff to recommend the second-lowest responsible bidder.",{"_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},6125487,"Council approves temporary easements for pipeline crossings; company to pay about $324 in fees",427,2685000,3112000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2677013-2424af3afed04ed69ed40aadacc515d9&start=2685&end=3112","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2677013-2424af3afed04ed69ed40aadacc515d9/thumbnail_2685000.jpg","/articles/6125487/Utah/Council-approves-temporary-easements-for-pipeline-crossings-company-to-pay-about-324-in-fees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6125487-280a98cf06a1cfa4a36f2f2bcd39675c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178559&Signature=nThATR3LfM9L2kHRDEdI2C3h2OyvIkrXmECiqyf1oQzYOf11Qk0pTpk8phm9Lqziaw~0fg3adffPa~rUU2dujxxm~U0nnaFtrBpSnG1VWtAdBy2D~z56d5HHSRJ4xWnxwfAomnXQndKyO5saz8RRa6U9TS2Ad2NutxhRB3VMCjf1ZYLwpuJRETEN6mGMpcP~VwxwCyLK3n67-pTtc3ybj~sSdzD0W~ezJxfe8qzOAjOGa9EocJ4ju9ZsA~GCTdEXswaNERvaJWZKI7eNyKh~OZWew1ti4TdRuaAr0DPuUhamrorIu7ufSYJz7uo-khPvE2WZl6MCdn8aQvg-vFSaIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Roosevelt City Council approved temporary right-of-way easements for a lay-flat pipeline the utility company proposed to run across a corner of the city’s freshwater pond and across a culvert on Fifth East at the gulch crossing.

City staff described two temporary easements: a small corner of the freshwater pond area and a longer crossing along Fifth East that would use a corrugated culvert crossing to reach a development area. Staff said the company — referred to in the meeting as UnaWax (presented by Oncor Land Services) — proposed a lay-flat polyurethane line, roughly 10 inches in diameter, for a temporary term staff estimated at several months to a year.

Jennifer Hall of Oncor Land Services, representing the applicant, said the offer typically is $10 per rod but the company proposed $250 plus $0.25 per foot for this crossing, which the staff-calculation yielded as approximately $324.30 to be paid to the city for the temporary right of way. Hall described the line as \"a 10 inch polyurethane line\" and said the crossing would be temporary to move fresh water for production.

Council members asked technical questions about line thickness and high-flow protection where the lay-flat line would pass through the culvert; staff said they had inspected the culvert with public-works staff and believed the crossing could be mitigated for high-water situations. One council member noted that because the water involved is fresh water (not a hazardous or contaminated fluid), the risk concerns were lower.

Council moved to approve the temporary easements subject to review of a final contract by the city attorney. The motion passed unanimously.

Staff said the city will receive the payment when the contract is executed and that the final contract will be filed and recorded as required. The council approved the easement contingent on attorney review and on receiving the contract prior to granting recorded rights.","Roosevelt City granted temporary right-of-way easements to allow a lay-flat pipeline to cross city property and a culvert, with the applicant agreeing to pay a small fee; council approved the easement subject to attorney review of the contract.",{"_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},6125492,"Roosevelt City Council approves annexation and P-O/R zoning for 9.4-acre Lone Tree property after public hearing",1683,995000,2678000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2677013-2424af3afed04ed69ed40aadacc515d9&start=995&end=2678","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2677013-2424af3afed04ed69ed40aadacc515d9/thumbnail_995000.jpg","/articles/6125492/Utah/Roosevelt-City-Council-approves-annexation-and-P-OR-zoning-for-94-acre-Lone-Tree-property-after-public-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6125492-904b961e051d635827a921b6965756fc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178559&Signature=MhuRnAgGlPmGbT0aE-w1fro05NAJm0KrokyCvLu~xpwNjgbpcLI76HZVDsp1BbDeB~q5489K3tDLUvieDndNq2Pb-fVKWEkwlkEo8dcO3pLeXW2nMghqnXPBtKQfrRWHEvzXvWq~WZPr1AdQ-Ffuv8XtalDJM9VwHw6JrVT3arNHK2rK9Zvm06YKs5xf-FGNR0Oi1xppmzF2nk90hP8XpekilurZhJ1PhsdS4l6iGByIDhX7oJMLvaR1pEOZx0p576D3SK2BkUfSkFXGDwbcT5pWbh5Cbg3xSiarN16BhuAOvXd912sETun9bbLdYBJWr5eqVD7qaduJUNBPgM0e-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Roosevelt City Council on a unanimous vote approved the voluntary annexation of 9.4 acres along 3000 West and 450 West — named the Lone Tree Annexation — and assigned a Professional Office & Residential (P-O/R) zoning designation after a public hearing that drew multiple nearby residents.

Planning staff described the petition from property owner Nate Snow and said culinary water is available on the west side of 3000 West, while sewer infrastructure is not currently within a reasonable distance. Staff said that under present conditions the property would require septic systems permitted by Tri County Health Department and that future development could change utility availability. \"Currently, sewer infrastructure is not located within a reasonable distance to be a benefit,\" a planning presenter said.

The proposed P-O/R zoning would allow a mix of professional-office uses and residential uses, and short-term rentals are a permitted use in P-O/R and some commercial districts, staff said. Planning and zoning recommended annexation and rezoning; the planning commission had previously approved the petition.

Neighbors at the public hearing raised concerns about density, septic systems and potential groundwater contamination. Tracey Burr, a nearby resident, told the council: \"I don't see no benefit from it. The one that's putting it in is gonna put a whole bunch of little houses.\" Other residents asked how road, curb-and-gutter and well impacts would be handled; planning staff replied that development plans and associated infrastructure would require separate review and permits and that Tri County Health would review septic-system designs.

Property owner Nate Snow said he has cleaned up the site and currently rents the existing home; he said his intent was to build two or three similar-sized houses along the road and that his plan would comply with Roosevelt City's regulations. \"My goal would be to have 2 to 3 more along that road as I could, similar size. I'm not trying to build anything big,\" Snow said.

At the close of the public hearing the council voted to approve the voluntary annexation and the zoning request for the Lone Tree Annexation. Council members said annexation does not force development and that any subdivision plan creating more than three lots would return to the city for additional public hearings and planning review. Councilman Baird moved to approve; the motion was seconded and passed with all members present voting aye.

Planning staff and the applicant were asked to ensure future public notices and development proposals address neighbors' concerns about septic density, wells and road improvements.","Council approved the voluntary annexation of 9.4 acres near 3000 West and 450 West into Roosevelt City with a Professional Office & Residential (P-O/R) zoning designation; residents voiced concerns about septic systems, wells and future subdivision density during a public hearing.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6125496,"Roosevelt City Council approves FY25 budget adjustments, asks staff to probe rising bank fees",620,362000,982000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2677013-2424af3afed04ed69ed40aadacc515d9&start=362&end=982","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2677013-2424af3afed04ed69ed40aadacc515d9/thumbnail_362000.jpg","/articles/6125496/Utah/Roosevelt-City-Council-approves-FY25-budget-adjustments-asks-staff-to-probe-rising-bank-fees","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6125496-a0d045cc3cfa39c0d9d32e558f08dab0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178559&Signature=cwRlUHKEGoqtU5zr0lU-IGV5oX6jyY5iBXUqeiBsE~HkzkdIXsI5EHN~XXvZMTY1uPS1lKFIHy5nJkN5N9hPIrzGuj~TM14vSX10IrgtD72xB8eo9QGAZyYGUTBHGUP6pXbCge577Fx1yZxP-7ucow5C4jBxL~7DMZmqIXQbv6oqXPaykR5YzYoLTEpn~1eeyoMo~6T6fuE36~FNpPg73Y~C153yhnYUxDWYpw5w7NQfYMyn8SfFJVd3R9T7lCQ2fPg3N4R1qM-JcFxglCn2d8cruoismaSK2KkjXuC0Rva-1BvIxkSIfnqrrPuD2-m4Bp5LptQSU2ITUOMoB8u4yA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Roosevelt City Council approved adjustments to its fiscal year 2025 budget on a unanimous vote after a brief public hearing and discussion about rising bank and card-processing charges.

Council members voted to add lineup items including a $13,000 allocation for a Fourth of July community celebration, reinstate insurance claim reimbursements for police fleet maintenance, budget donated funds for parks and golf course improvements, and add funds for irrigation and sewer pump replacements. Finance staff told the council the total requested increase across all funds was $498,744.79.

The changes were presented by Zeke, a city staff member handling the budget review. Zeke said bank charges and processing fees throughout the budget added up to a requested $85,900 because last fiscal-year spending outpaced the amount the city had budgeted. \"Last fiscal year, we spent 98,000, but we only budgeted 44,000 this year,\" Zeke said. He told council an additional $30,000 in fees had hit accounts and staff would analyze where fees are coming from and whether options such as surcharges or discounts for noncard payments should be considered.

The council moved the budget to a public hearing and, after hearing no public comments on the changes, returned to regular session and approved the requested adjustments. Councilman White moved to approve the amendments; Councilman Allen seconded. The motion passed with all council members present voting aye.

Council also approved the regular monthly financial reports for the city after staff noted revenues and expenditures were tracking roughly on schedule: \"With 33.4% of the year remaining, we are only 39% short of our revenues, which is expected,\" a staff presenter said. Capital-project spending was below budget and staff said they expect to roll unobligated capital funds back to the general fund at year-end.

The council asked staff to return with options to mitigate card-processing fees, including whether fees could be shifted to payers who use cards or whether incentives could be offered for using bank transfers or cash. The finance presenter said the city would analyze peer practices and return with recommendations.

The council also heard a separate update that some depreciation entries and a multi-phase street/water project will affect end-of-year accounting, and that staff would present a preliminary budget for the next fiscal year in a few weeks.","Council approved a set of midyear adjustments to the fiscal year 2025 budget, covering program donations, capital maintenance and unplanned utility and bank fees; council also approved routine financials. Members asked staff to analyze and recommend ways to reduce growing credit-card processing costs.","actionData","errors"]
