Riverdale council approves UMA resource-officer contract and bridge-cost amendment; several routine items pass unanimously
Summary
At a council meeting, Riverdale City Council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-01 to place a resource officer at the Utah Military Academy and Resolution 2025-02 to amend a bridge betterment reimbursement agreement with America First Credit Union. Consent items (minutes and an appointment) and a motion to enter closed session also passed.
Riverdale City Council unanimously approved two resolutions and cleared routine consent items at a council meeting.
The council approved Resolution 2025‑01, authorizing a three‑year agreement that places a Riverdale police officer as a resource officer at the Utah Military Academy (UMA). Chief Warren told the council the contract was signed last year and the resolution provided final council approval. Councilor Arnold moved to approve the resolution; a roll call showed unanimous support.
The council also approved Resolution 2025‑02, amending an earlier 2024 agreement that made America First Credit Union responsible for bridge betterment costs on 400 South. City staff explained the original betterment amount, provided by UDOT, was $1,651,825; refined project costs increased by roughly $555,000 to a revised total of $2,206,993.50 (the resolution text contains a minor written discrepancy, discussed on the record, between “.53” and “.50” cents). The amendment updates the reimbursement amount and includes a provision requiring the city to refund any overpayment if final UDOT costs are lower than the updated figure. Councilor Arnold moved approval; the motion passed unanimously.
Earlier consent votes included approval of the Dec. 17 council work session and meeting minutes and the reappointment of Councilor Bart Stevens to the mosquito‑abatement board; both passed without discussion. The council then voted unanimously to enter a closed session pursuant to Utah Code 52‑4‑205 to discuss property and potential litigation.
