Chief Taylor said officers found the victim unconscious in a residential pool; officers and later paramedics performed life-saving interventions and the victim recovered after hospital treatment.

Chief Taylor said the officers ''represented the city as professionals and \"truly exemplified the vision of the police department\" during the response. The council then heard from Officer Tony Wolfgram, who introduced the recognized officers, and from Mike Ashley, the city's COP (community-oriented policing) coordinator, who gave a roughly 30-minute presentation on outreach programs.

Ashley described a suite of programs aimed at connecting police with residents, schools and businesses. He explained how small, sustained contacts'from lemonade-stand photos to school visits'build relationships, and described specific initiatives he leads such as middle-school \"connection ball\" activities, business visits with refrigerator magnets linking to non-emergency numbers, youth circuit training, DARE graduations and Citizens Academy. \"If we can connect and keep people connected in their communities...it's just a program,\" he said, adding the goal is to leave community capacity in place after programs change.

Council members praised Ashley's outreach and asked how the department would sustain community-oriented policing if key staff move on. Chief Taylor said the department is sharing knowledge and structuring programs so other officers can continue outreach work when personnel change. The council also discussed applying for a federal COPS hiring grant to fund two officer positions focused on community policing; staff asked council members for letters of support to be submitted within the week.

The awards presentation and COP update were held during the council's presentations and reports segment; the lifesaving medals were given prior to the COP coordinator's briefing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Riverton - City Council - Jun 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Riverton police honored two officers with lifesaving awards for rescuing a near-drowning victim and heard a detailed presentation on community-oriented policing programs by COP coordinator Mike Ashley.","taxTitle","Riverton , Salt Lake County, Utah","taxId",7396,"location","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":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6658460,"Council authorizes TransJordan landfill membership agreement; approves Harriman entry",471,4889000,5360000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5019441-889718e3804fe370e057fc5cbce318c6&start=4889&end=5360","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5019441-889718e3804fe370e057fc5cbce318c6/thumbnail_4889000.jpg","/articles/6658460/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Council-authorizes-TransJordan-landfill-membership-agreement-approves-Harriman-entry","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6658460-a102fd4499992502b25fb6bef7f36925/orig.mp4?Expires=1776183565&Signature=nLLlCXrwhYs7l2DW4T0njmFZkOyIYPefIDFljGuj--Bm3sv8FChuueAar6c~AxUu4cTx~q-Jy4YGeoudvUDtfzpvewwMWFD~BHni2AP~DOWpc40HxTnUZxI7e2IlmUF87JT3h5I6GnJMZix63HMn4O3mFHNJCh3R8KwQGklJWR8hdf70nBVl-6mdT9HkTr8tU20F4qxv2DOSfFa5HbOmYdEXwnEasMw8Q06GI7z8lpKZfu7raM9Pcxg03vVzbxwwrggalZn85ANFA5Zrm~MDKtqTwoh0joDbDHQfmDZnxAcRwIeXNdJXO14kOMTqZj0PrKU1f-V0IKAYhdgBpxDe3w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riverton City Council authorized the mayor to sign an interlocal agreement admitting Harriman City as an equal member of the TransJordan landfill authority, after a presentation outlining financial terms and operational implications.

Council member McDougall, who led the presentation, said Harriman would enter as a full commercial-rate customer and pay a multi-year buy-in that is credited toward a purchase price if the city later converts that relationship to full membership. McDougall said the deal mirrors past agreements when other municipalities joined TransJordan and that Harriman's participation would bring short-term cash to the authority while strengthening long-term revenue as the city grows.

According to the presentation, the landfill's current valuation is roughly $44 million. Under the proposed terms, non-member commercial gate rates were described as $41 per ton while member rates were noted as $26 per ton; the presentation explained the $15 per-ton difference would be credited toward Harriman's buy-in. Harriman would also provide a $400,000 buy-in payment next year, with similar payments for a multi-year term described during the presentation.

Supporters on the council said adding Harriman would provide timely cash while TransJordan moves forward with construction of a transfer station, reducing the need for long-term borrowing. Council members noted the authority is near the low end of its capital reserves while building the Sandy transfer station and that Harriman's contribution would help cover near-term capital needs and improve the authority's fiscal position.

The council voted to approve the mayor's execution of the interlocal agreement authorizing Harriman's membership. No members voiced opposition during the discussion and the motion passed on a recorded vote.

The mayor will execute the interlocal agreement and TransJordan board staff will schedule any necessary steps to onboard Harriman as an equal member.","Riverton's council voted to authorize the mayor to execute an interlocal agreement admitting Harriman City as an equal member of the TransJordan landfill authority, a move council members said strengthens the landfill's long-term finances and supports construction of a local transfer station.",{"_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},6658464,"Council adopts final FY24 amendment and FY25–26 budget, certifies 0% city tax rate; approves utility accounting",249,2468000,2717000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5019441-889718e3804fe370e057fc5cbce318c6&start=2468&end=2717","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5019441-889718e3804fe370e057fc5cbce318c6/thumbnail_2468000.jpg","/articles/6658464/Riverton/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Council-adopts-final-FY24-amendment-and-FY2526-budget-certifies-0-city-tax-rate-approves-utility-accounting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6658464-7b3b038e4072d851566526311a681f50/orig.mp4?Expires=1776183565&Signature=JmZBfUul7NvoqNbUDNzoHu2WUrFNVv5kAI2oy9ojT4pCXkAZuOHcQJkYARk15SRYTxFnjewsZqS9Vl9yWy2IOvkDvUKndjIsOLdh3oMKyWxQjpCwyq4Gry5X~s09qb-KbpkVCzj4gI6~L-z35alKyVrGnjFp7N4uZfCoPrCwagOW2j6tCBJn~eD-XdsWcoz~ZLI9wGDoF6pdQPx7~JdeKZJRmnKSkrymhjfy3qsFGhcVHOtnT8qNL-XjxxbIzwtR5AXW1ImsDGkNlpegix7Q1sOl0yAq1HT0im9TX9twZd8pKaIoge8rY7RMTXapIIR4d-FVz1mKxRS4T5wKoS0x-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riverton City Council on a series of roll-call votes finalized year-end accounting for fiscal 2024, adopted its fiscal 2025'26 budgets, approved a nonreciprocal utilities transaction report and certified a 0% city property tax rate for 2025.

The council approved a final amended budget for fiscal 2024 as required by state law, then adopted the city'wide budgets for fiscal year 2025'26. Council members also approved a routine nonreciprocal utilities transaction for the water enterprise fund'—an accounting action the city uses so city-owned enterprise activity is disclosed without actually moving cash between funds. Finally, the council certified the city's property tax rate at 0% for 2025, keeping no citywide property tax levy while still complying with state certification requirements.

City finance staff told the council that the nonreciprocal transaction is a bookkeeping step the state requires when an enterprise fund provides services to other city funds without charging an internal bill. As staff explained, the city continues to track water use and losses, separate reporting required by the state, and treats the nonreciprocal action as a disclosure rather than a cash transfer.

City staff also said updated county-certified valuation numbers improved the projected revenue outlook slightly compared with earlier drafts of the budget, reducing the anticipated use of fund balance. The council confirmed that the adopted FY25'26 budget includes funding for two additional police officers and that staff will submit letters of support for a federal COPS hiring grant focused on community-oriented policing.
