Commission notes appointments to appeals board, renaming of redevelopment agency and a Bureau of Reclamation encroachment agreement
Summary
The commission previewed a resolution appointing new members to the county appeals board, agreed to place an ordinance updating the redevelopment agency name on a future agenda, and reviewed a Bureau of Reclamation encroachment agreement related to a developer’s crossings of federal drainage and irrigation easements.
Weber County commissioners received a series of routine administrative updates: appointments to the county appeals board, a proposed ordinance to correct the agency name in county code, and an encroachment agreement tied to a developer project that crosses Bureau of Reclamation easements.
Janie Avery and staff summarized that two employee seats on the county appeals board would be filled (Ernest Gonzalez and Tanya Strong were named as the county employees to fill the positions) and that other appointments (Janie Avery, Lauren Thomas, Craig Grama, Ricky Hatch, Chris Crockett, Jessica Clark) were listed for consideration. Commissioners indicated general support and said the resolution will appear on a future agenda for formal action.
On another procedural item, staff said the county’s ordinance still used the older name “Redevelopment Agency of the County” and recommended updating the ordinance to reflect the agency’s current name, “Community Reinvestment Agency.” Staff said the change is editorial and will be placed on next week’s agenda for formal adoption.
The county also reviewed an encroachment application to the Bureau of Reclamation tied to a large development (JDC/GDC project). County staff said federal easements for drains and irrigation lines must be crossed and that the county will sign the encroachment documents as part of the process while the developer remains financially liable for construction impacts under a separate agreement with the developer.
Votes at a glance: the commission approved minutes for a prior work session at the start of the meeting (motion carried: “Aye. Motion carries.”). The meeting record shows other routine procedural motions to move to administrative meeting and to return; those were approved by voice vote during the session. No final ordinance or encroachment signatures were executed at the work session; staff said the encroachment items will appear on the consent agenda at the next public meeting.
Ending: staff will place the appeals-board resolution and the agency-name ordinance on a subsequent agenda for formal action, and the Bureau of Reclamation encroachment agreement will be presented on the consent calendar for approval.
