Councilors cited proximity to homes, competing facility needs and upcoming larger regional courts as reasons to wait.

Why it matters: Pickleball was a frequent request in a city survey, but councilors balanced community demand against limited park space, potential maintenance costs and other capital priorities such as a proposed senior-center update.

Pickleball proposal and council response

Staff described a proposal to convert the sand-volleyball area at Golden Spike Park to three pickleball courts, noting grant opportunities that could offset construction costs but not necessarily ongoing maintenance. One councilor summarized the concern: \"We don't have enough information at this point as we move forward towards 2030 to know for certain what's what needs to happen,\" and said the timing felt premature given competing priorities.

Councilor Stevens delivered a detailed objection to permanent installations in small neighborhood parks: \"I'm a hard no on this, and it's because I consider Riverdale Park and Goldsby Park as neighborhood parks, and they're not that big... If you start putting permanent structures in these neighborhood parks, you're cutting down on the open spaces.\" Several councilors favored delaying the project to allow more research and to monitor capacity at nearby new courts in other communities.

Strategic planning steering committee

On strategic planning, the council agreed to keep the steering committee small and to consult outside historical resources or subject-matter contributors as needed. Staff outlined a core group involving the mayor, finance staff and the city manager; councilors asked that the group be able to call on additional advisors on specific issues rather than expand the core panel.

Ending

Council consensus: do not include pickleball court construction in the current fiscal-year budget; form a smaller steering committee for strategic planning with options to consult external experts and community members when needed.","Riverdale councilors put pickleball-court construction on hold for the current budget year, citing competing priorities and concerns about permanent facilities in neighborhood parks.

The council directed staff to draft a resolution that would recognize the trail system while clarifying that any acceptance is nonpermanent and subject to city oversight.

Why it matters: Trail users and youth mountain-bike teams have maintained and used sections of trail on city property for years. Council members raised concerns about liability, special-event rules, impacts on private property, and whether accepting the trail would trigger the city parks ordinance and associated fees and insurance requirements.

What council heard

Mister Brooks briefed the council on recent outreach and said the city's insurer indicated the city \"will insure anything that you guys do as long as you do it right,\" but that the insurer expects engineering and documented standards for public amenities. \"Their answer basically will ensure anything that you guys do as long as you do it right,\" Brooks told the council.

Mister Staten, who identified himself as a mountain-bike coach and organizer, said the trail work proposed is intended to restore connectivity between existing public-trail segments and to be performed \"by the book.\" He explained he uses International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) guidance for natural-surface trails and said routine maintenance could be minimal if trails are used: \"If they are being used, that keeps the vegetation from growing back onto the trails with perhaps 1 or 2 days walking through with hand snips and snipping things back once or twice a year.\" Staten also gave target dig/maintenance dates: the last Saturday in April (April 23) and the first Saturday in May.

Insurance and events

Staten and other volunteers said organized practices and most team activities are covered by league insurance and that larger events typically seek special-event permits and provide insurance certificates. City staff warned that if attendance exceeded special-event thresholds, the city’s special-event review and insurance requirements would apply.

Council direction and next steps

Councilors voted to untable the item and later gave consensus direction for staff to draft a resolution acknowledging the trail’s existence while clarifying that the city’s recognition would not create a permanent park or long-term easement. Councilor comments reflected support for volunteer maintenance but caution about creating long-term obligations: one councilor said any formal acceptance should make clear the use is temporary and could be revoked if the city needs the land for future development.

The council asked staff to place the drafted resolution on the April 15 agenda so volunteers could proceed with planned April maintenance if council action is taken before the dig dates.

Ending

City staff will draft a resolution that (1) recognizes the trail's existence as a city-acknowledged, nonpermanent amenity, (2) records insurance and engineering expectations (IMBA guidance cited), and (3) establishes a process for volunteer maintenance and reporting to the city. The council requested the item be agendized for April 15.","After debating liability, maintenance and engineering standards, the council agreed to place a drafted resolution on the April 15 agenda to acknowledge the Riverdale bike-trail alignment as a temporary, nonpermanent city amenity and to allow volunteer maintenance under agreed terms.",{"_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},6617352,"Riverdale leaders praise police response to recent homicide, outline grants and protest planning",1253,433000,1686000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2842371-aae30a479d0ac75dc46a5a44dc7a2cb6&start=433&end=1686","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2842371-aae30a479d0ac75dc46a5a44dc7a2cb6/thumbnail_433000.jpg","/articles/6617352/Utah/Riverdale-leaders-praise-police-response-to-recent-homicide-outline-grants-and-protest-planning","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617352-3e14e666f2435335a5996e2e52528e45/orig.mp4?Expires=1770980584&Signature=L1-mp~z9A2zP0uM5NCxGnXutYuQOblrtQXozBIcj-QRcugz-jLuYsuBFWLc-NOeotw9Txkya2j0OasAGK-E-hUPMMAVrP3xUyfUP-t-KGgx3ckuS37uixDguK8XAj6jnQMh3UgELJZ95jsEYLKOp8vbinLD8CxGeplyoWhRArtJTCHm9WWjJgK6OE4gZuF4nmlaM7urmEuIWdY-r0NGGIzr9ffVhnqiBaBNZbI5-SuwaiDBdDrrs54jhlRSi8HmAvWWK7oO9xJHi8aZWWhVVIVKtVTyP0ygu39jh6fWjQ-7VSxTpKxhSLpPF~i74tvG-uMS2hSvz51Fmfc3wjSSWXA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riverdale City Council meeting, April 1, 2025 — Riverdale city officials praised the Riverdale Police Department and partner agencies for their response to a recent homicide and described several grants and equipment purchases intended to support policing and first-responder wellbeing.

The council heard a report from city staff and Police Chief Casey Warren detailing interagency work at a recent serious incident. \"Our hearts are broken for the the lady that lost her life, but ... we're able to recover those kids and get them where they need to be and give them a chance,\" Chief Casey Warren said, describing the department's role in recovering victims and working the case.

Why it matters: Council members and staff said the episode illustrated the city's reliance on mutual aid and modern policing tools, and they used the presentation to outline ongoing investments in equipment, mental-health support for first responders, and community safety planning.

The department recap listed multiple grant-funded programs and purchases. Chief Warren said the city obtained a mental-health services grant to provide specialized counseling for first responders and to support mandatory twice-yearly check-ins; the grant amount cited for that program was $23,750 and some funds will be carried forward. The police also received state grant funding for DUI and seat-belt enforcement shifts, applied for LIDAR units (five devices), and allocated a small ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) grant toward evidence-preservation equipment for mobile devices.

Warren also described a partner-funded school resource officer position at the Utah Military Academy that is offsetting police costs: \"This year, we're getting 72,000. Next year, I think it was, like, 85,000. And so I think the total cost of an officer is roughly a hundred and 50,\" he said.

Protest planning and interagency coordination

Council members and staff reviewed the city's planning for a protest that took place near the Tesla site. City staff member Mister Brooks said the event was planned and staged with neighboring jurisdictions, private businesses and a temporary perimeter: \"This thing was planned out to a t. Everything that would have happened and could have happened was was prepared for. Surveillance, there was just everything,\" Brooks said. He credited officers and partner agencies for preparedness and for avoiding major incidents.

Brooks also noted a local company provided a mobile tower-mounted surveillance unit at no charge during the event to preserve potential evidence. Chief Warren said organizers cooperated with city staff and that the visible crowd remained relatively small.

What the council directed

Council members did not take new policy actions at this presentation but used the report to acknowledge police work, accept updates on grant-funded programs, and note the value of interagency planning for large public gatherings.

Ending

Councilors thanked police, fire and partner agencies for the response and for planning work around public safety. City staff and the police chief said they will continue to pursue grant funds and equipment to support traffic enforcement, first-responder mental-health services and digital evidence preservation.","City leaders commended Riverdale Police Department for a fast multiagency response to a recent homicide and described new grants and equipment purchases for the department.
