Price City Council approves land-use code update, job descriptions, promotion ladder, phased retirement, water grant support and lodging incentive
Summary
At its Jan. 8 meeting the Price City Council adopted an updated land use code and approved a package of resolutions and an incentive interlocal agreement, all by voice votes after little or no public discussion.
Price City Council on Jan. 8 approved an updated edition of the Price City Land Use Management and Development Code and a series of resolutions and agreements, including job descriptions for project managers, an employee promotion career ladder, a phased retirement policy, support for a WaterSmart funding application, and a development incentive interlocal agreement for new lodging.
The actions were taken during the council's regular meeting after a public hearing on the land use code drew no speakers. Council members moved, seconded and approved each item by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies in the public transcript.
The most significant item was the adoption of ordinance 2025-001, described at the meeting as updates to the Price City Land Use Management and Development Code (2002/2008 edition). Council Member Jesperson moved approval and Council Member Richardson seconded. The motion carried by voice vote.
Other council actions approved at the meeting: - Resolution 2025-1: Adoption of updated job descriptions for the positions of project manager and senior project manager. Moved by Council Member Richardson; seconded by Council Member Miller. Approved by voice vote. - Resolution 2025-2: Adoption of an employee promotion career ladder for the public works specialist and project manager career track. Moved by Council Member Chrisman; seconded by Council Member Miller. Approved by voice vote. - Resolution 2025-3: Adoption of a phased retirement policy and a phased retirement employee agreement. Moved by Council Member Miller; seconded by Council Member Jesperson. Approved by voice vote. Council discussion noted at least one employee had been offered the option previously and declined and that other employees were being considered for the program. - Resolution 2025-4: Confirmation of Price City's support and approval of an application to WaterSmart for funding related to the Lower Basin Reservoir inlet works. Moved by Council Member Richardson; seconded by Council Member Jesperson. Approved by voice vote. - Incentive interlocal agreement (no ordinance/resolution number specified in the transcript): Consideration and approval of a development and tax increment financing (TIF) incentive interlocal agreement for proposed new lodging properties in Price City. Moved by Council Member Jesperson; seconded by Council Member Kriszmann. Approved by voice vote.
The council approved the consent agenda (items A through L) by motion of Council Member Chrisman, seconded by Council Member Richardson. Council Member Jesperson disclosed an employment relationship with Key Engineering on the public record and noted her interest in consent item 5(f) before the consent motion was approved.
Meeting minutes and formal ordinance/resolution documents should be consulted for the full text of the code amendments, the phased retirement agreement template, the career-ladder matrix, and the incentive interlocal agreement; the public record from this meeting records only the actions taken and the resolution/ordinance identifiers used by council members during the session.
