Key items in the presentation: staff proposed a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to match the December‑to‑December CPI and a 2% merit pool to be allocated by department heads; staff estimated a 5% increase in property and auto insurance and a 7% increase in medical and dental insurance. The staff recommendation did not include a property-tax rate increase; Nate noted that the city will not have final new-growth numbers from the county until June, and that will affect the final tax revenue available. \"Once the tentative budget is adopted, it’ll be available for review on our website as well as a physical copy here at city hall,\" Nate said, and reminded the council that final adoption would occur in June after public comment.

Council members pressed for clarity on the proposed merit pool. One council member said a department head should not be able to allocate the merit pool in a way that awards one person most of the pool without an objective evaluation metric. Nate and staff said department heads typically distribute merit funds based on performance evaluations and that unused merit dollars revert to the budget at year end. Staff also said Brent (city administration) has final review of proposed raises and can push back if allocations appear unreasonable.

Staff reported updated revenue-line estimates since the budget retreat: justice-court revenue was increased from $320,000 to $350,000 on the basis of year‑to‑date citation numbers, and sale-of-fixed-assets was corrected to $305,000 after removing an originally budgeted vehicle replacement. Sales-tax revenue remained budgeted at $5.5 million in the tentative budget.

Nate reiterated the timeline: adoption of a tentative budget makes the plan public and starts the window for comment and amendment before the June final adoption. The hearing was opened; no final budget action was taken at the meeting. Council members requested clearer merit-evaluation metrics, and staff said it would return with refined data and recommended changes before the June adoption.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 6th, City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","City staff presented a tentative FY2026 budget that includes a proposed 2.5% COLA and a 2% merit pool, estimated insurance-cost increases, and no recommended property-tax increase; the public hearing was opened.","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},6245307,"Council amends Centerville Corporate Park plat condition so recording can proceed without waiting on all easement signatures",380,5335000,5715000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3226730-fcfb08ddffb24af9ac94eefe0e74d7f6&start=5335&end=5715","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3226730-fcfb08ddffb24af9ac94eefe0e74d7f6/thumbnail_5335000.jpg","/articles/6245307/Utah/Council-amends-Centerville-Corporate-Park-plat-condition-so-recording-can-proceed-without-waiting-on-all-easement-signatures","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6245307-bcfc438a66ebac1824be5e25204a8e2f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191054&Signature=h5ekJlgd-yXdD6yRZzbDJEkDUsKwn9bCb9IjTn3j~~-STmzqAJiYXVDqyjXWbYie3iICC3DMj-4UwPkxfpp0D9v-0-k5ZWc14N0l89JhHyh89qDMWSxM8VrDFRhPNLdYR3~UcpQjnff4TzriEOt1BwGfkGbBp6tzGgWNN-LvgISnsKZC0rwuPpDrl4xmG50KxEDtRuCscpx49gCfwL-K89BhW0hKpIyEtzyHF3wtOsYIhUv9pkyr1RFhus-l8XduHp86B6L~CqOYbiKgFZ0rjHMHIvAWYD-JuGQt0vNgyUz5u~EsYgEiXZ8Ghk0lfmOkIGSGjG5LcuoeQm44qb8OoQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Centerville City Council approved an amendment to a prior plat-approval condition for the Centerville Corporate Park at 500 North Marketplace Drive so the amended plat can be recorded without waiting for all grant-of-easement amendments to be signed by every owner.

Lisa (city staff) explained the background: in January the council had approved a final-subdivision-plat amendment and included a condition requiring that proposed amendments to grant-of-easements and restrictions be recorded \"prior to or concurrent with the recording of the amended plat.\" The applicant asked the council to remove the second sentence of condition No. 10 so the plat recording would not be delayed while the developer obtains signatures from other property owners in the park (for example, Chick‑fil‑A). Lisa said the Redevelopment Agency had already approved the easement amendments and staff did not want to hold recording of the plat solely to wait for additional private-party signatures.

Michael Petragorge, representing the applicant, told the council the documents had been sent to the other owners for signature and that the applicant preferred not to have the boundary-line adjustment held indefinitely. He said the applicant has the ability to amend via RDA ownership if necessary but wanted the plat recorded now to allow flexibility, such as marketing a second building for sale.

A motion to amend the prior approval by deleting the second sentence of condition No. 10 carried unanimously. Council staff said they will continue to work with the applicant and any other property owners if further easement adjustments are required.","The council agreed to delete a sentence in a prior condition so the amended plat for Centerville Corporate Park can record while owners work to finalize grant-of-easement amendments; the Redevelopment Agency had already approved the easement changes and the developer said it has sent documents to other owners for signature.",{"_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},6245312,"Centerville council approves vacation of north Rolling Hills Drive right-of-way with conditions",1869,3443000,5312000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3226730-fcfb08ddffb24af9ac94eefe0e74d7f6&start=3443&end=5312","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3226730-fcfb08ddffb24af9ac94eefe0e74d7f6/thumbnail_3443000.jpg","/articles/6245312/Utah/Centerville-council-approves-vacation-of-north-Rolling-Hills-Drive-right-of-way-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6245312-41e55458ffa86b65aac99b5d365c2b63/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191054&Signature=R4dWw9MAWQM1z~tVXzmgmez9ilOP0cmLyjm9x-zCXeWVnLGlSCi0z81FXVYckyjVSs7Kfbn2rHFM4SbHy8xzU8mDOo6~8-nRZTDtxmlOMIbOMByzNeIp4tD~clxmguh37dNhy8IXY8zlvFtFxJyfcudVkDv-f3BlXc3HKjpOPhpYC25fRuavbbPwfe1RzYZDrXrgUTBSE0U3bHnizBWpnYNx5TTOxQ9rvCbsQcNXToQY8ZVxVz7pgPeVWgkYw3zDG3zUIXnsiqmF88OXg7x0uiU40xDQhgTLUxPKLpF3RBm08oZVCW~E4hTCvPRfOABVjY6jBUcA2raKRDVJWBRkkw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff presented a public hearing and recommendation to approve a public-street and right-of-way vacation at the north end of Rolling Hills Drive, near 350 East, and the council voted unanimously to approve the request with conditions.

Mike (city staff) summarized the proposal and notification process: the applicant, Intellis Engineering, and property owner Mark Leon (participating by Zoom) requested the vacation in tandem with a minor subdivision application for the Jensen property. Mike said the shaded curved area at the top of Rolling Hills is the portion proposed for vacation and that staff recommended approval with conditions that must be completed before final recording. He told the council the city requested the vacation to address stormwater, mud and gravel flowing onto Rolling Hills Drive, and to create a more practical turnaround for snowplows and city maintenance vehicles. \"City staff are of the opinion that vacating the public street and right away easement will [assist] future recording of the proposed Rolling Hills Subdivision plat...and there is good cause for the requested street and right away vacation,\" Mike said.

Scott Argyle, representing the applicant, told the council the project had not originally included the vacation but that the city \"strongly encouraged\" it to solve maintenance and access issues. The owner, Mark Leon, participated online.

Staff told the council that utility providers were notified as required by state code and that the South Davis Sewer District requested an easement be included for an existing sewer or storm drain box; staff recommended including that easement as a condition. Mike also said the vacation could not be finalized until the subdivision plat was fully reviewed and recorded.

Council members asked questions about access to Firebreak Road, slope and developability of upper parcels, and whether vacating the right-of-way would remove informal public access to Firebreak Road. Mike and staff explained Firebreak Road access crosses multiple private parcels and existing utility and easement arrangements (including a Weaver Basin easement) would continue to allow emergency and utility access; staff also said the vacation would improve public-works maintenance in wet weather.

A motion to approve the right-of-way vacation with the conditions listed in the staff report carried unanimously. The council did not specify any monetary consideration for the right-of-way; city staff noted that, under the relevant property law for typical public-rights-of-way vacations, a remnant can revert to adjacent private ownership rather than creating a fee obligation to the city. The approval included the staff-recommended condition that the vacation documents be coordinated with the final subdivision plat and recorded only when the plat is ready for recording.

Council members said they would continue discussions if neighboring access to Firebreak Road or deeding of remnant parcels became issues, and staff indicated it would work with the applicant and impacted utilities on the sewer easement request.","The Centerville City Council unanimously approved a request to vacate a curved segment of public street and right-of-way at 350 East Rolling Hills Drive, contingent on conditions and recording with the future subdivision plat; staff said the change will improve snowplow turnaround and reduce storm debris on municipal streets.",{"_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},6245317,"South Davis Recreation District reports membership, revenue gains and flags upcoming capital needs",1396,1734000,3130000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3226730-fcfb08ddffb24af9ac94eefe0e74d7f6&start=1734&end=3130","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3226730-fcfb08ddffb24af9ac94eefe0e74d7f6/thumbnail_1734000.jpg","/articles/6245317/Utah/South-Davis-Recreation-District-reports-membership-revenue-gains-and-flags-upcoming-capital-needs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6245317-2b07827ba8c52ee3b08e9aee3bf05e94/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191054&Signature=SVKG1EW~gUkdmj6VFTxIQ97AsdGj5Eh-Xh0xHhW30LPM6ap3kMdKwwdC~sM0EhPe8MSsdHTEKUxMSL8z4KIvpmuRkXdV1YWQ8ZWhVyykdyKyWd-R8-JUEgM6ZyS-czeQ1GNuoVTDsthU7p48AzKwW4YNXtp-~~Fdjf~GaqMXJMh0BKRe02mE8MMGDfXAVovg7rVVp2CDROW7bl-egaAX-AFjcgjdd9h4Q~-9jZhB2d9xX4YreTxKlSYPJW8aui7y3FiT36o1Ntd0qHUajcX59T9hsjzLyMrvzqyLkKBqHsgIOMo0HOVQ~YsjCkN2-Hx1BUhC0Ab2eEHiXWSsIN-0YA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tiff Miller, executive director of the South Davis Recreation District, told the Centerville City Council the district’s finances and participation rebounded in 2024 and remain positive so far in 2025. \"We ended up bringing in about $499,000 for 2024,\" Miller said, adding that annual membership and program participation have grown since the pandemic lull.

The update matters because Centerville is a member city of the district and a major source of participant registration and facility use. Miller said district programs draw substantial Centerville participation and that collaboration around field space at Centerville Community Park has been important for youth soccer and other sports.

Miller highlighted several measures of growth and pressure: the district saw \"28,000 more visitors in 2024,\" annual-pass sales were \"$26,000 higher already for our annual pass sales through the first quarter,\" and specific program lines — including junior-jazz basketball, swim lessons and flag football — reported increased enrollment. She also described rising operating costs: utilities, insurance and pool-chemical expenses have increased in recent years, and maintenance of an ice sheet and pool remain cost drivers.

Miller outlined capital needs and timing. The South Davis Recreation District and its partner city, Bountiful, are discussing a parking-lot project likely in 2027; Miller said a roof membrane replacement at the recreation facility will probably be required in the next three to four years (staff estimated around 2028). She said the district is analyzing larger, longer-term capital projects but has no finalized plans. The district’s current bond matures in January 2026.

Miller also described program changes and outreach: a new district website launched in February through a vendor that specializes in special-district sites; minor fee adjustments for 2025 (passes increased by $10); expanded ice-rink and hockey programming; and an expanded sponsorship package tied to facility dashboards. On mental-wellness programming, Miller said the district added Doctor Nedley and Sky Breath programs for adults and youth.

Council members and staff praised the district’s turnaround and participation numbers. Council members asked practical questions about facility rentals, the timing of capital projects, and how the district coordinates with the school district. Miller said many Centerville residents participate: she characterized Centerville as one of the district’s stronger member cities and said roughly one in five Centerville residents holds a district membership under the district’s current accounting for passes.

Miller invited further conversation on partnership opportunities, including special events and parade participation. She said some underground utility and parking projects will require ongoing coordination with Bountiful City and the school district.

The update was for information; no council action was taken. Council members thanked Miller and invited staff follow-up on specific capital-timing questions.","The South Davis Recreation District told the Centerville City Council it saw revenue and participation rebounds after COVID in 2024 and stronger first-quarter numbers for 2025, but warned of rising operating costs and several near-term capital needs including a parking lot and roof membrane replacement.","actionData","errors"]
