Summary
The Snowflake Town Council on Dec. 6 approved Resolution 2022-08 updating the town fee schedule, approved a rezoning for a corner lot in the Paradise Property Development (Ordinance 2022-10) and voted to move town funds to FDIC-insured deposit certificates; the Smith rezoning and designation of vice mayor were tabled.
The Snowflake Town Council on Dec. 6 approved several administrative and land-use items, including updates to the town’s comprehensive fee schedule and a move to protect town deposits with FDIC-insured instruments.
Council adopted Resolution 2022-08 to update the comprehensive fee schedule after members said the proposal would lower some rates. Joe Bjornn moved to approve the resolution and Kerry Ballard seconded; the motion passed unanimously with Lora Jones and Cory Johnson recorded as absent.
The council also voted to approve a rezoning request from Paradise Property Development for parcel 202-05-037J, changing its zoning from R-10 to GC and reading Ordinance 2022-10 by title. Holland, representing Paradise Property Development, described planned subdivision improvements including pavement, curb and gutter, and sidewalks on main roads; the developer said homes would include at least two-car garages. Chief Nelson reported no expected issues for emergency services. Byron Lewis moved to approve and Ballard seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
On municipal investments, staff presented a proposal to move funds from the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP), which is not FDIC-insured, to FDIC-insured deposit certificates through Moreton Capital. Town staff said the change would fully insure deposits and provide better returns; Council discussed liquidity and was told early-withdrawal penalties would apply though amounts were not specified. Kerry Ballard moved to approve investing funds with FDIC-insured deposit certificates and Joe Bjornn seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Council approved the consent agenda, which included minutes from Oct. 4 and the October and November check registers, by a unanimous vote. Several items were tabled: a rezoning request for parcel 202-05-042B (Smith/Tenney) was tabled so the applicant could attend and provide a site plan after councilmembers expressed soil and site-plan concerns; Mayor Lewis also moved to table the designation of a vice mayor until more members are present, and the motion passed unanimously.
What’s next: The council did not set dates for the tabled items; applicants or staff will return with requested materials before the items are reconsidered.
