Box Elder council approves consent agenda and several measures including bank-depository correction, police training license, ordinance first reading and TIF
Summary
The council approved the consent agenda and multiple items on Jan. 20: amended Resolution 26-09 (correcting the official depository to First Interstate Bank), a license allowing the police to train on installation property, first reading passage of Ordinance 781 (truck-route code changes), certification of Tax Increment Financing District No. 5 for Cheyenne Boulevard, several tax abatements, and a customer water-bill relief under municipal code §42-196.
The Box Elder City Council voted through its consent agenda and approved several separate items at its Jan. 20 meeting.
Bank depository correction: The council approved Resolution 26-09 to correct the official depository listing from “First National Bank” to “First Interstate Bank” and to give the amendment a unique resolution number for recordkeeping. The city clerk described the correction and the council adopted the resolution by roll call.
Police training license: The council approved a license authorizing the Box Elder Police Department to use property on the installation (described in the transcript as base/installation space) for tactical and firearms training and authorized Police Chief Bob Connell to execute related documents.
Ordinance 781 — truck routes, first reading: The council approved on first reading Ordinance 781, amending municipal code sections on traffic and vehicles to clarify the definition of "truck" by reference to GVWR, limit the truck-route designation to streets within city limits, require a publicly posted weight map, and add exceptions including garbage trucks and school buses.
TIF District No. 5 certification: Finance Officer Renee Baker presented a Department of Revenue letter certifying Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District No. 5; the council certified the district for use of increment to fund Cheyenne Boulevard and authorized the mayor to sign the associated documents.
Tax abatements and utility billing relief: The council approved recommended abatements forwarded to the county Department of Equalization for several mobile/trailer-home tax IDs and approved a water-bill relief request for the property at 22650 151st Street under §42-196 after staff and the LPS committee recommended relief on the basis that the property owner replaced an extremely long service line (noted in the transcript as approximately 4,000 feet) and offered to pay a portion of the bill.
Votes: For recorded roll-call votes on the consent/amendment and the separate items where roll calls were taken, council members recorded aye votes and the motions passed as announced by the mayor/clerk.
Procedural notes: The meeting recorded no public comments, no emails for public comment, and no executive session; the council adjourned at 7:39 p.m.
