The Cleggs presented medical documentation of severe, ongoing health problems — including congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cancer — and cited constrained household income. County staff said the family has paid $2,200 toward the delinquency and plans to continue monthly payments of $400 from a disability payment, but their remaining balance of roughly $12,000 could not be retired by year‑end without outside assistance. County staff recommended a human‑interest exception under Weber County ordinance 2‑16‑1‑35 and the tax review committee unanimously approved a second‑year extension.

The second parcel, owned by Kevin Adams, had been granted a first‑year extension after substantial payments last year. Adams paid $4,000 in April and now has a remaining balance of $1,808.16. He proposed monthly payments of at least $200; county staff concluded that his recent payments and low remaining balance justified a second‑year extension and the tax review committee unanimously recommended approval.

Why it matters: Weber County offers second‑year extensions only in exceptional cases and requires applicants to submit statements of assets, circumstances and repayment plans. Staff said second‑year extensions are escalated to the tax review committee and then to the commission; third‑year extensions are not available.

Next steps: Both extension recommendations were set to appear on the commission’s consent agenda at the next meeting for formal approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Weber County Commission Work Session Zoom Meeting 05/19/25","oneSentenceSummary","Weber County’s tax review committee unanimously recommended, and commissioners placed on consent, second‑year tax‑sale extensions for two delinquent accounts — one citing severe medical hardship and one with a near‑complete repayment plan.","taxTitle","Weber County Commission, Weber County Commission and Boards, Weber County, Utah","taxId",19971,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6234797,"Tax review panel, then commission, move to deny retroactive primary-exemption claim for Roy property",644,5788455,6432515,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3409732-468396ae4903622b9c82a20124d051d6&start=5788&end=6432","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3409732-468396ae4903622b9c82a20124d051d6/thumbnail_5788455.jpg","/articles/6234797/Utah/Tax-review-panel-then-commission-move-to-deny-retroactive-primary-exemption-claim-for-Roy-property","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234797-ef47403a6a66a1fd353bcddb9e6378ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142468&Signature=O7HJ4OQOZplmUUHk8s~RCyFjX8FgTNE2OKS38jIuGuLEtdt4Q4W6OdHqsGh0V2MzaaESAv3wlFlP9SkrlIn1a6bH4mAxeyI0XvTLuoRnwMcx0S6kwxtno4rYllrIYA9QVp8uV8ty492~JreKh5hbwhz6t2AA4ArVTAkFjlHoNYA0H0teUMu0z2aBy2Yj78J-EDuMtVjrQQKX1n3HTfOe29RJczfqenqDVqJi6FNyOZMn7c5RZDVQr2lV3VBtCogkOsoSo4j3SZJDQNVmdFCJzjz4xO1VUU5VTwbTsz89E83pDv3lx0lPGWbrI-dOASoOcOWTsUpqF6rCj3shtggaWg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Weber County tax review staff told commissioners on May 19 they had sent multiple required notices after a deed transfer changed the mailing address for a Roy property and recommended denying a retroactive primary-residence exemption for tax year 2024. The commission followed the tax review committee’s recommendation and moved to deny.

What happened: County staff said a warranty deed recorded after the sale changed the parcel’s tax mailing address to a Tremonton address; under state procedure, the county mailed multiple notices to that address after the conveyance and then treated the parcel as non‑exempt when no reply was received. Jared (clerk/auditor staff) said the office sent three separate notice mailings and the valuation and tax notices to the Tremonton address but received no response.

Property representatives told the commission they never received the notices. Darren Stansford, representing the property owners, said, “We never received any of these, these letters,” and produced a residential lease dated March 1, 2024, and payment records showing the parcel met occupancy requirements for a primary-residence exemption in 2024.

Why the county denied: The tax review committee reviewed the record twice and determined the assessor had followed statutory notice procedures; staff said they could only reinstate the exemption for tax year 2025 because the online application to restore the exemption arrived after the 2024 deadlines. Commissioners supported the review board’s recommendation to deny the retroactive 2024 exemption but left the correction for 2025 in place, noting the 2025 exemption was already restored.

Next steps and guidance: County staff advised property owners to pursue standard administrative remedies if they believe mail delivery failed and to provide any additional proof of non‑receipt. Commissioners noted staff will include the item on the consent agenda and that anyone could request to remove it for separate discussion.","Weber County tax review staff and commissioners discussed and moved to deny a request to retroactively restore a 2024 primary-residence property tax exemption for a Roy parcel after the county said notices tied to a deed change were sent to a Tremonton mailing address.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6234802,"Commission debates Benton Lane pathway alignment; canal route preferred if easements secured",897,3872725,4770639,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3409732-468396ae4903622b9c82a20124d051d6&start=3872&end=4770","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3409732-468396ae4903622b9c82a20124d051d6/thumbnail_3872725.jpg","/articles/6234802/Utah/Commission-debates-Benton-Lane-pathway-alignment-canal-route-preferred-if-easements-secured","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234802-6921e8f936b8fa4ee5303d9e8f871601/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142469&Signature=c8boFP4cWFoI1kDcxP~QbzHkl8C2MORWNtMKQ7HT6geI73gN5hSzgCFVSPwnNRWQjqaH~tNTIqP9xIjMh2qm5WASunlkVyvLCkEC~7onjBFsGneJ01qjQ8YrcajcuUDUtRrVvV9kMj266ph0KdRSrD9vXqkcswTF~77oWlLW977BaWmVsiwaE8A8SY97Haf6qV1B7j7IJ34DwoEVkgwOJGzT2l9Mm7fkQRUq5rO-GyN58GG8EX6JFITik3uT-XEDeoqZbrc~2e4x4PZ2kFdCSIpKfj13iQ4Tnc44IY6wBXutLBeA5mrgUvtVlppUP1ioi1Do4dob3zmcjkciW9pY9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Weber County planners and commissioners discussed route options for a 10‑foot multiuse pathway tied to the proposed Benton Lane rezone during the commission’s May 19 work session. The options include a direct alignment along the Hooper irrigation canal, a sidewalk-style pathway within the public right-of-way, and a route that skirts a detention basin.

Why it matters: The pathway is intended to connect new neighborhoods to 4100 West and the larger county trail network, including the Emerald Necklace along the Weber River. Commissioners emphasized that temporary cul‑de‑sac connections that force users onto streets can frustrate cyclists and pedestrians, so priority was given to alignments that maximize connectivity and future-proof the route.

Planning staff presented three options: a) the general‑plan alignment following the canal corridor (which would require easements or purchase because the canal and an adjacent parcel are privately owned); b) a 10‑foot asphalt path located within a widened public right-of-way and connected through neighborhood stub streets; and c) a route that loops around the detention basin and ties into neighborhood paths. A project proponent in the audience said he had already contacted the canal owner and received preliminary willingness to negotiate if the county pays for access across the canal pipe.

Commissioners voiced a preference for the canal route if the county can secure rights and avoid creating a trail “dead end.” Staff stressed design measures to reduce unwanted activity along confined trail corridors — options include wider rights-of-way (30 feet) to avoid high fences or narrower rights-of-way with 30% opacity fence design to reduce hiding spots and graffiti.

Next steps: Planning staff will pursue discussions with the Hooper canal company and affected property owners to determine easement feasibility. The conventional 10‑foot asphalt pathway through the public right-of-way will remain a required element of the tentative plan and will be expected to connect to future trail segments as neighboring properties develop.

Ending: Commissioners said a clear route that connects to the wider county trail system is a priority; staff will return with property‑control options and proposed language for development agreements.","The commission and planning staff discussed several alignment options for a 10‑foot pathway tied to the Benton Lane rezone, including a preferred alignment over the Hooper irrigation canal if easements can be acquired.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6234806,"Riverdale, America First seek expanded tax-increment funding to pay for sewer and roadwork",976,2274559,3250980,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3409732-468396ae4903622b9c82a20124d051d6&start=2274&end=3250","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3409732-468396ae4903622b9c82a20124d051d6/thumbnail_2274559.jpg","/articles/6234806/Utah/Riverdale-America-First-seek-expanded-tax-increment-funding-to-pay-for-sewer-and-roadwork","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234806-379b43eb2139044ac64bdc60ac471dfd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142468&Signature=WiJM6u6LNpnPIEe6lxxwS8YLjxZ15k2ZjzQS5NOf4YMEB2~iil9iZ8rtUv7CB914tmkYxtSegMvikKCkdmOCcjtKk3OobH-idqLpImBsp1qKwVviAsAPjQOT8QbWIAwQHV04nuygi-6nS1YUHskmNfE-hamFSNWlmrQcIwhIQUI33RtIgr-jz9Zd~WOcgGoJZD1D46umWvMYtr-fC~Rg8fE6MLFVEwgVvI81RkTmLaFHsxXRu9OWak3zluxPI7CHFOXwTG3Wdpfey7AWOKB0KTtG2p7qAN~FP8I4A4bDsqnDOWDySLxNfKZAUKIVyUOPMnfbqoLwM3lIeJysvKceZQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riverdale City officials and representatives from America First Credit Union presented a request to the Weber County Commission on May 19 to amend a long‑standing redevelopment area (RDA) budget so tax‑increment financing can pay for new roads, utility trunk lines and interchange upgrades near Interstate 15 and I‑84.

Brandon (presenter) and Riverdale City Administrator Steve Brooks asked the commission to approve an amended RDA budget that would extend the district from 17 to 22 years and raise the county’s cap on participation to $10 million. The proposal would change the current participation split and allow construction of the infrastructure the parties say is necessary to support nearly $1 billion in private development and as many as 7,000 jobs on and around the America First campus.

Why it matters: Riverdale and America First said most of the central infrastructure — sewer mainline, widened collector roads and modified I‑15/I‑84 ramps — cannot be funded without tax increment. Brandon said the existing RDA valuation base and $9 million cap are insufficient to build the network that would support planned commercial and employment development.

Riverdale City Administrator Steve Brooks told commissioners, “we’re not trying to hide anything from anybody,” and said city staff, engineers and America First executives were present to answer questions. County staff and commissioners focused on the requested participation rate. Commissioner Bert said the county’s policy on tax‑increment projects exists to ensure “everybody play[s] on the same field, not play favorites,” and pressed for explicit protections that a county contribution would only fund public infrastructure, not private building costs.

Brandon outlined the requested terms: extend the collection period to 22 years, increase the participation cap so the county’s incremental share would total about $10 million over the period, and adjust the split to 80% TIF participation to support initial heavy infrastructure investment. Staff noted that because the RDA predates current interlocal tools, the county cannot use the same interlocal contracting approach it uses with more recent RDAs — a legal/administrative constraint that prompted commissioners to ask for binding resolution language.

Next steps: Commissioners asked Riverdale and Brandon to work with county staff (including the county attorney’s office) to draft explicit resolution language that confines county funds to the listed public infrastructure items and clarifies reporting and procurement safeguards. Riverdale staff agreed to deliver a proposed resolution for commission review before any final action.","Riverdale City and America First Credit Union asked the Weber County Commission to amend an existing RDA budget, extend the TIF term and raise the county participation cap to finance major sewer, roadway and interchange upgrades supporting a new America First campus.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":55,"_73":55},6234811,"Weber County commissioners press for water-conservative phasing on Westbridge Meadows rezone",790,45615,836165,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3409732-468396ae4903622b9c82a20124d051d6&start=45&end=836","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3409732-468396ae4903622b9c82a20124d051d6/thumbnail_45615.jpg","/articles/6234811/Utah/Weber-County-commissioners-press-for-water-conservative-phasing-on-Westbridge-Meadows-rezone","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6234811-adf83d73e23929450308b9631b2fe833/orig.mp4?Expires=1771142468&Signature=Y8emn-8-CJ4ZPO5jcJM4TV2qBMICJznIK4moLVUSKlsn5k~7K7Q69JsRpe6OJm7hIqP5qo9EHvSmAHnk~Y0xgTCe3Sjk1d~aqdaEPeEgCgerGpFc93HG1mUf5I31CZCydFvAIRNkoCr050EeFbplhCCIpHFl4gfTnBoxIigkbTqM~~rx2gcgIgzamIrONobAmBQ2hOVpXdoGQVBqN1GmYAfFCS8A-wXNKXKxrbkD8gM9U6bWsV3RZw0iWVbdW47bIHg182iddXs2DpaMYp8Ow7vQg3jU57l0KnuaO8GnTOuWjTVOz4CUsNpRlNqqrY9PRveQWF9K2Zh0xsCAp~vZSg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Weber County commissioners discussed limits on water supply and asked for phased approvals and tight conservation measures for the proposed Westbridge Meadows master-plan rezone during a May 19 commission work session.

Commissioners and county water staff said the site could support residential development only if water demands are reduced and new deliveries are phased to match available water rights and infrastructure. The planning effort, county staff said, should prioritize culinary-only service for residential areas, minimal turf and water-efficient landscaping to reduce outdoor use.

Why it matters: County water managers said Westbridge Meadows is not unique — any large unincorporated development in western Weber County will face the same constraint. Commissioners said incorrect phasing or open-ended approval could give the public the impression that thousands of homes were immediately approved. They asked for explicit staged milestones before additional units could proceed.

County staff told commissioners the developer has purchased some water rights and has experience building water-efficient projects in other states. Darren Hess, a county water staff member, said, “They’ve purchased water rights,” and that the county will not contract for water “upfront for the 13,000 or even a portion of the 13,000” homes; instead staff called for “phase by phase approvals” because the basin’s supply is limited.

Several commissioners said they welcome residential use of land that has never been irrigated if that approach conserves water compared with converting productive agricultural ground. One commissioner said the key will be to limit outdoor irrigation — “decrease infrastructure, but limit then the green — the turf almost down to 0, maybe some drip lines,” and to design homes and infrastructure so that outside water demand is minimal.

Commissioners and staff also discussed infrastructure coordination. County planners emphasized that final approval remains subject to separate water and sewer commitments; multiple speakers noted the site’s build-out would likely occur over decades, not years. Commissioners asked that any rezone approvals include clear phasing triggers and that planning commission review continue to refine density, infrastructure and open-space standards to support low-water development.

Ending: Staff said they would return with more detailed phasing and density proposals and that future meetings will focus on the specific conservation, infrastructure and legal commitments needed before the commission would consider final rezone action.","County commissioners and water staff discussed water availability, conservation measures and required phasing for the proposed Westbridge Meadows master-plan rezone west of the Weber River.","actionData","errors"]
