Brandon Cooper (Community Development) reported that the power poles on South Weber Drive and Century Way were removed as of Sunday, resolving a safety issue that had caused some local outages. \"That safety issue has been resolved,\" Cooper said.

Cooper provided project updates: he said Trader Joe's is \"commencing with the things that they need to commence with\" and that Panera's site work was delayed but that July remained the contractor's estimated opening month. He also said the RC Willey building had renewed interest from prospective users (proposed uses not specified) and that the Riverside Flats project team has been meeting with city staff to work toward a mutually acceptable resolution.

Cooper told the council that UDOT required an island in the middle of Riverdale Road near the Panera site; staff pushed back but were unsuccessful. \"If you're coming down out of the terrace, don't cut that too sharp or you're gonna be going over a bump right there,\" he said, and clarified the island is a UDOT mandate, not a city design.

Why it matters: The removal of the power poles addresses a safety and reliability concern; updates on Trader Joe's, Panera and other sites indicate ongoing commercial development that could affect traffic, local services and future tax receipts. City staff said they are continuing negotiations on Riverside Flats to find a resolution acceptable to all parties.

Council and staff said there are no confirmed dates yet for specific tenants beyond the contractor-provided estimate for Panera; Cooper said he had been told Panera's estimated opening was July but that site delays could change that timing. No formal council action was taken on development items at this meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Riverdale City Utah City Council Meeting May 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff reported removal of power poles on South Weber Drive and Century Way, said Trader Joe's site work is starting, and provided updates on Panera, the RC Willey site and the Riverside Flats project.

Chief Warren said the department completed an internal selection process and promoted Sergeant Derek Ingram to assistant chief. \"He's been with us . . . since 2011. So roughly 14 years. I think he's got about 19 years experience,\" Chief Warren said, describing Ingram's long tenure and supervisory assignments.

Chief Warren said McNealy \"has done a great job for us\" and that the department conducted an internal search with three of the four sergeants eligible; Sergeant Ingram was selected from that pool. The chief said the department will backfill Ingram's previous sergeant position and that one of the replacement sergeant roles will be a tier 2 classification.

The department also announced an upcoming hire: Megan Foster will start May 31 after transferring from a neighboring agency, the chief said. Chief Warren added the department will post to fill the vacancy created when McNealy departs.

Why it matters: The assistant chief is a senior management post; Riverdale officials described the change as a planned, internal promotion intended to maintain continuity. The department noted the hires will also increase staff diversity with an additional female officer.

Council discussion: Councilors and the mayor thanked the department for fast case resolutions and for handling recent busy periods. No vote was required for the personnel announcements; the council received the staffing update as an administrative report.

Other personnel notes recorded in staff reports: Sean (last name not specified) was recognized for 34 years of service, Animal Services employee Kim Nguyen reached a five-year anniversary, and a public works employee listed as Abe was noted with 19 years of service.","Police Chief Warren told the City Council that Assistant Chief Mike McNealy will retire June 1.

The council approved the meeting minutes from May 6 and set five public hearings tied to the upcoming budget and waterfront adjustments. Councilors moved the public hearings for items a, b and c to June 3 and items d and e to June 17 as listed in the meeting packet.

Why it matters: The Comcast franchise grants the company the right to use city property for communications infrastructure and continues a revenue stream tied to franchise fees regulated at the federal level, council members said. The forensic-services contract is a cost-sharing arrangement based on participating cities' populations and call volumes; officials said the regional CSI provider supplies higher-level forensic services than the city could provide on its own.

The council moved each item through routine motions. Councilor Arnold moved to approve Resolution 2025-16 with an amendment changing the contract length to five years; the motion was seconded and carried. Brooks, the city administrator, told the council the original franchise began in February 2009 and that the prior 10-year contract had expired in 2019. \"This contract, I think, is significant,\" Brooks said during the discussion, describing it as \"the right to use our properties to install . . . their infrastructure.\" Councilor Arnold specifically moved \"to approve resolution 2025 dash 16 . . . with the exception that the resolution says 10 years and the contract is 5 years.\"

Forensic services: Police Chief Warren described the renewal with the regional CSI provider as \"a really good partnership\" and said the cost is allocated city-by-city based on population and average annual call volume. The renewal was moved by Councilor Arnold and passed unanimously.

Public hearings and minutes: The council approved the May 6 work session and council meeting minutes on a motion by Councilor Arnold. The council then set public hearings for the budget-adoption related items on June 3 (items a, b and c) and June 17 (items d and e) to accommodate the certified tax rate timeline referenced in the packet.

Votes at a glance:
- Resolution 2025-16 (Comcast franchise agreement): Motion to approve with contract length revised to five years; mover: Councilor Arnold; outcome: approved.
- Resolution 2025-17 (renew forensic-services agreement with regional CSI provider): Mover: Councilor Arnold; outcome: approved unanimously.
- Consent: Approval of May 6 meeting minutes; outcome: approved.
- Consent: Set public hearings for June 3 (items a,b,c) and June 17 (items d,e); outcome: approved.

The council did not provide detailed vote tallies in the public audio beyond roll-call confirmations for some items; recorded roll-call responses for Resolution 2025-17 showed affirmative votes from Councilor Stevens, Councilor Hansen, Councilor Arnold, Councilor Richter and Mr. House. Several other agenda items and staff reports were discussed but did not require formal council action at this meeting.","At its May 20 meeting, the Riverdale City Council approved a five-year franchise agreement with Comcast of Utah and renewed a contract for forensic services with a regional CSI provider.
