Kyle Blacker, who led the site walk-through and assessment, told councilors the building contains multiple types of masonry and construction approaches that would make a seismic retrofit and full rehabilitation expensive. Blacker cited the 2021 International Existing Building Code and said if a project replaces more than 50% of certain structural elements the building must be brought up to modern seismic standards — a requirement that drives much of the retrofit cost. He also said older sewer, piping and other infrastructure in the building would require replacement if the facility returned to active use.

After the assessment, council members discussed three basic options: tear down and do nothing, demolish and build a new facility, or attempt a full retrofit. Several councilors advised against preparing a full-cost financial plan for keeping the existing structure because they judged the retrofit option likely to be infeasible. Councilors and staff discussed salvaging facade or historically significant elements for reuse as part of a new project.

City staff reported the insurer has already indicated an initial payout of roughly $1.4 million related to the loss, less cleanup costs, which could leave approximately $1.0 million available pending final adjustments. Council discussed whether building back a new city center could increase the insurance recovery if the city documents that it will rebuild. Staff recommended pursuing conversations with the insurer to determine how the claim would be adjudicated if the city demolishes and builds back a single-level city center; councilors agreed.

Council directed staff to: schedule a meeting with the insurance company to discuss demolition-and-rebuild options, retain architects/engineers to prepare options and budgets that could be incorporated into the insurance/bid process, pursue Community Impact Board (CIB) grant timing (the council is tentatively slotted for a February 2026 county rotation but may be able to apply in October 2025 depending on a county swap), and consider concentrating recreation facilities at the 600 North parcel rather than rebuilding recreation at the city center site.

Council members said they favored a single-level replacement to reduce ADA and long-term maintenance costs rather than trying to retrofit multiple stories. Staff will return with cost estimates, RFQ/RFP language for architects and engineers, and an updated insurance coordination plan.","An engineering review found substantial structural and seismic retrofit costs for the Belknap (city center) building; councilors leaned toward demolition and rebuilding a single-level city center, directed staff to meet with the insurer and pursue potential CIB grant timing and architect services.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":50,"_51":92,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":93,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":94,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6624849,"Council approves concept to upsize Tanner Ditch pipe, city to fund inlets and installation costs",776,1286000,2062000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3379119-9e819ee7986e2b19b81660941ff2161a&start=1286&end=2062","/articles/6624849/Utah/Council-approves-concept-to-upsize-Tanner-Ditch-pipe-city-to-fund-inlets-and-installation-costs","Beaver City Council voted March 24 to approve in concept a partnership with the Canner/Tanner Ditch Company to upsize a section of ditch piping on 300 North from the existing 24-inch to 30-inch pipe and to install inlet structures that would capture street stormwater.

City staff described the plan as replacing open ditch with a piped system from roughly 400 East to 300 North and installing inlet boxes at intersections (northeast corners) to collect additional stormwater. City staff said the inlet boxes and the city-funded upsizing would be paid by the city while the ditch company would proceed with the primary pipe installation under its contract.

Staff discussed two cost scenarios for inlet structures: a concrete box option (higher cost, easier maintenance) and a less-expensive metal riser/collar option. City staff estimated the inlet work in one scenario at roughly $30,000 per unit and said an overall inlet budget could total about $75,000 for a concrete approach; they also said total costs could vary materially depending on pipe material and contractor choices, and later mentioned a possible $50,000 estimate in some circumstances.

Council approved a motion “to approve the concept, upsizing the pipe from 24 to 30 inch and working with Canner Ditch Company to install inlet structures,” with the motion made by Council member Fox and seconded by Council member Webb. Council expressed support for coordinating construction so the city can install inlet structures while the ditch company completes the pipe work in the fall after flows decrease.

City staff will continue coordination with the ditch company and its engineer, prepare cost estimates for the inlet options and report back for budget approval and final contracting steps.","Council agreed in concept to work with Tanner (Canner) Ditch Company to upsize a section of pipe on 300 North from 24-inch to 30-inch, with the city paying for inlet boxes and the incremental cost to upsize; staff will coordinate design and pricing with the ditch company and its engineer.",{"_33":96,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":97,"_41":98,"_43":99,"_45":100,"_47":101,"_49":50,"_51":102,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":103,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":104,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6624854,"Beaver City Council agrees to round fees, directs staff to draft resolution and approve veteran discount",268,472000,740000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3379119-9e819ee7986e2b19b81660941ff2161a&start=472&end=740","/articles/6624854/Utah/Beaver-City-Council-agrees-to-round-fees-directs-staff-to-draft-resolution-and-approve-veteran-discount","Beaver City Council on March 24 agreed to round several items in the city fee schedule, asked staff to draft a resolution formalizing the changes and approved a $50 discount on golf season passes for veterans.

Council members said the intent is to make fee amounts easier to understand and to formalize any changes by resolution. City staff and council discussed whether a second public hearing would be required; councilors said a public hearing is required for water impact fees but that most fee rounding can be handled by resolution. Council asked Justin (staff) to draft the resolution and to advise whether an additional public hearing is necessary.

Council members also approved a proposal to offer veterans a $50 discount on the golf season pass. Councilors discussed whether the discount should also apply to active-duty military, first responders or teachers; they asked staff to return data on how many such passes were used last year and whether a different discount or eligibility should apply. Council members agreed a resolution would be needed to finalize the discount.

No specific ordinance or statute was cited during the discussion. Council did not vote on a new fee amount in open session beyond directing staff to prepare the resolution; they signaled unanimous support for the rounding approach and the veteran discount.

City staff will draft the resolution to amend the fee schedule, confirm which fees (if any) require another public hearing, and report back with counts and projected revenue impacts for discounts and other concessions.

The council handled routine minutes and bills approvals earlier in the meeting; separate actions for those votes are recorded in the meeting summary.","Council members agreed to round several municipal fees, asked staff to draft a resolution and approved a $50 veteran discount for the golf season pass; staff will confirm whether a public hearing is required for impact fees such as water.","actionData","errors"]
