Water projects, impact-fee drawdowns and east-tank scoping on South Weber agenda
Summary
Staff reported Water Fund decreases tied to the East Bench Transmission Line and Cornia Drive Line Replacement; Water Impact Fees declined due to project spending and lower fee collections. Larson flagged a $90,000 match for multi-hazard mitigation plan (east tank scoping) with potential grant opportunities.
City staff outlined recent and planned water projects and the effect on water-related funds during the Feb. 8 retreat.
Finance Director Brett Baltazar and City Manager David Larson reported a decrease in the Water Fund tied to capital work including the East Bench Transmission Line and the Cornia Drive Line Replacement. Baltazar also said Water Impact Fees fell because fees were drawn down to pay for projects and the city received fewer impact-fee receipts in FY24.
Larson described a $90,000 match request tied to a Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (MHMP) grant application for east-tank scoping and said staff expect a grant may be available for design; he tasked staff to coordinate with the city’s grant assistant and provide more detail to the Municipal Utilities Committee or council. The conversation included review of how restricted impact-fee balances were used to reimburse capital projects, including South Bench Drive and Canyon Meadows Park West.
Next steps: City Engineer Brandon Jones and the grant assistant will assemble more information on the MHMP match, possible grant timelines, and scope for east-tank work and return with options.
