Council approves fiscal-year amendment and three-year senior-services interlocal agreement

At its May 20 meeting the Washington Terrace City Council approved two resolutions: a fiscal-year 2024–25 budget amendment (Resolution 25-06) and a three-year interlocal agreement with Weber Human Services for senior services (Resolution 25-07).

Resolution 25-06 (fiscal-year 2024–25 budget amendment) The council voted to approve Resolution 25-06, described by staff as the final budget amendment for the fiscal year ending June 30 and consisting largely of housekeeping adjustments (fleet sales, investment earnings adjustments and similar items). A council member moved approval and another seconded; the roll-call vote recorded "yes" votes by named members including Council member Parkinson, Council member West and Council member Thomas, and the clerk announced the motion passed unanimously. The mover and seconder were not identified in the transcript.

Resolution 25-07 (interlocal agreement with Weber Human Services for senior services) The council approved Resolution 25-07 to confirm a three-year interlocal agreement with Weber Human Services beginning July 1 to provide senior programming such as congregate meals and activities at the city’s senior center. Staff said the agreement designates the city as responsible for the physical facility maintenance and listed a contribution amount (mentioned in the meeting as roughly "$6,000 and change" for Weber Human Services personnel support) with an escalation clause discussed in the staff presentation. Staff also said the city is negotiating the escalation language (3% and CPI) with participating jurisdictions and hoped to separate those components for clarity. The mayor and council praised South Ogden for partnering to share cash support after South Ogden closed its center; staff indicated South Ogden will contribute and the arrangement helped secure Weber Human Services’ continuing role.

The vote on Resolution 25-07 was recorded by roll call with Council member Parkinson, Council member West, Council member Thomas and Council member Ziz Shah recorded as voting "yes;" the clerk announced the motion carried.

What the motions mean Staff characterized the budget amendment as routine year-end adjustments and said the city expects to finalize numbers after the fiscal year closes. The interlocal agreement commits Weber Human Services to provide programming and services for three years and assigns the city responsibility for facility upkeep; South Ogden and other partners will share some cash contributions. City staff emphasized the senior center remains part-time in daily hours but staff reported increases in participation and new programming.
