On the architectural standards, staff told the council the code amendments change language that previously could be read to require equally elaborate facades on every side of a building. The revised text requires \"consistent architectural consideration\" of all sides so material and color cohesion is maintained without forcing identical treatments on non-visible back walls. Staff also removed strict limits on glass area and added narrow exceptions for precast concrete treatments on side and rear walls when those faces are not visible from public roadways. In a geographically-limited area near City Hall and Petersen's Market staff proposed brick as a cohesion element; the council voted to adopt the update.

On the DAI Utah development, staff summarized changes requested in the two-week continuance: the development agreement was clarified to show that if the agreement expires the underlying zoning for the property would remain Commercial Regional limited to self-storage, and that any other use would require a zone change. The council approved a motion to adopt the development agreement, rezone the property to Commercial Regional, and approve preliminary site and design review.

Votes at a glance:
- Ordinance (architectural standards) approved by roll call.
- Ordinance 25-15 (DAI Utah development agreement and rezone for 12270 South 4000 West) approved by roll call.

Ending: Both items passed on council votes after staff clarifications; staff will publish the adopted ordinance language and the recorded development agreement.

Council considered multiple fee scenarios after staff presented data showing the current $13 monthly charge combines both garbage and recycling pickup. Under the option the council approved (referred to in staff materials as \"estimate 2\"), the first garbage pickup would be set at $10 per month and the first recycle tote at $5 per month (a combined $15), additional garbage cans would be $9 each and additional recycling $7. The council recorded its support for that scenario in a formal motion and roll-call vote.

Council members cited several drivers behind the change: a planned Trans-Jordan landfill tipping fee increase that staff said is projected at $2 per ton in the coming years; anticipated construction of an East Side transfer station; and long-term pressure on the sanitation enterprise fund. Staff also noted the city's curbside recycling contract runs through June 30, 2028, and any earlier change would require rebidding the contract.

Several council members advocated keeping curbside recycling but making the fee structure more transparent so residents could see the separate cost for recycling. At least one councilmember reiterated a long-standing proposal to phase out curbside recycling in favor of regional drop-off locations; council did not adopt that option.

Other discussion points included the probability of some households cancelling service if costs rise and how cancellations could affect the fund balance. Staff warned that the revised fee structure could cause some households to opt out and that the city should track cancellation requests if recycling were split out on bills.

Council directed staff to prepare notice and ordinance language for the upcoming fee-schedule public hearing; staff will also prepare comparative scenarios requested by council (for example, a $2 across-the-board increase and a tiered structure) for the next meeting. The motion to adopt estimate 2 passed by roll call (result recorded by council).

Ending: Staff will post the new fee schedule proposal for the upcoming public hearing and track resident responses and opt-out requests if the recycling fee is shown separately on bills.

","After extended debate on curbside recycling and projected sanitation costs, Riverton City Council directed staff to adopt a fee schedule (\"estimate 2\") that breaks out garbage and recycling charges and raises the overall rate to get the sanitation enterprise closer to self-sufficiency.",{"_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":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6525463,"Riverton council restores part of training budget, approves National League membership",1395,100000,1495000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3413772-2462b7775178d3608baf93c7e9d6bb72&start=100&end=1495","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3413772-2462b7775178d3608baf93c7e9d6bb72/thumbnail_100000.jpg","/articles/6525463/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Riverton-council-restores-part-of-training-budget-approves-National-League-membership","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525463-731d565f443e0945f7c6c0cccbf4e420/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153704&Signature=ORk2BLwmVGZ3pNRO8hYJV6OCx-imt7mEB7drzb9rxVWDDvIpHUcpk0WQ3PMERCa~LyEDWTJ8H2XqaFHj2EUccn6cklEPVsCVCeqZaXkWtKfP6pUUBKBUZM6oCYIkfLidrWdfucDmh0o1gTis~p3tZRAzmOFn55jtRYjvqLfDhdIvP6c1ty7qFkN~lNAnqT~c2nPU4kHwIFTE482ZNNXkJXSi7wWQPR3we9Pue0cOcGn4PTDCMm-IkpTe9YuVt-FM9OJh6oV8bhD8rniA6t~tE8wvSqPXfStdg4uwtbpwQk69kLsiY4~mJ~b8GE7In7Jvb87tetLm2dxc1Lia2s4olA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riverton City Council voted on a change to the mayor's proposed budget that partially restores cuts to the city's education and conference line item and authorizes a onetime payment to join the National League of Cities.

The council approved restoring $26,000 of a $52,000 reduction that staff had identified after a review of department requests, and directed that part of that restored amount be used to pay the National League's membership fee so elected officials could attend the national conference to be held in Salt Lake City this year.

The item grew out of the budget work session, where council members and staff discussed the value of membership in the Utah League of Cities and Towns (ULCT) and other training opportunities. A council member summary in the work session noted staff originally proposed a total education and training budget of $229,005.85; the mayor's proposed budget reduced that by about $52,000 (to $177,585) after department-level cuts. Council members debated whether to restore all, none or some of the reduction.

Councilmember McKay, who described the ULCT training as \"extremely helpful,\" advocated adding funds back and noted longstanding council practice of membership. A separate council member said the perceived value from some conference years is low and said the city could prioritize targeted training or lobbyist support over league dues.

After discussion, council members settled on a compromise: restore $26,000 of the cut and use part of that to pay a one-year National League of Cities membership. The council recorded the motion and conducted a roll-call vote in the meeting; the motion carried.

The council asked staff to reflect the change in the budget materials to be presented at the next public hearing.

Ending: The budget change will appear in the materials for the council's upcoming hearings; councilmembers said they expect to re-evaluate training spending if unused funds accumulate next year.

","Riverton City Council voted to reverse half of a proposed $52,000 cut to the city's training and conference budget, restoring $26,000 and authorizing funds for a one-year National League of Cities membership to allow local elected officials to attend the national conference in Salt Lake City.","actionData","errors"]
