Osborne thanked the council and the community for support and described seasonal patterns of need: donations typically increase during the holiday season but decline in summer months when school meal programs are not available and family demand rises. She said the pantry will participate in the statewide Feed Utah food drive on March 15 with three drop-off locations (Springville Macy’s; Spanish Fork Macy’s; and the Spanish Fork Tabitha’s Way pantry) and invited local residents to drop off donations from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Staff said donated food will be distributed directly to families served by Tabitha’s Way.

Osborne also invited councilmembers and residents to a ribbon-cutting for Tabitha’s Way’s new, larger Spanish Fork facility, which staff said roughly doubles the previous space and was needed because the pantry was serving about 100 households every three hours at its previous location. She left QR-coded cards for council offices for RSVP and encouraged attendance.

Why it matters: Tabitha’s Way is a local distribution point for food assistance. The pantry’s reported service numbers and call for donations highlight seasonal demand for food support and provide an opportunity for residents and officials to participate in the March 15 Feed Utah drive and the facility ribbon cutting.","Tabitha’s Way volunteer pantry reported it served 2,691 Springville households (9,317 individuals) last year, described increased summer need, announced participation in the statewide Feed Utah food drive on March 15, and invited councilmembers to a ribbon cutting for its larger Spanish Fork facility.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6648424,"Council authorizes directors to operate retail sales at city facilities and sets pricing and reporting rules",269,1946000,2215000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2656572-fd0da0d779fe37e8e0a1947dab417f2c&start=1946&end=2215","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2656572-fd0da0d779fe37e8e0a1947dab417f2c/thumbnail_1946000.jpg","/articles/6648424/Utah/Council-authorizes-directors-to-operate-retail-sales-at-city-facilities-and-sets-pricing-and-reporting-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6648424-44033b33b8b3877026f02dfc149a31b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163465&Signature=HfIrDh2hNf~Bn-nu-WYwA9F5cl8EkH-Wbi~A89D7OfNkGgNneoOPyXU1HwnTysI6i0xMtMQdjCO-o0JG3jdB7kpUgJfEJmCsR99VzX7Y3akZSMCqRSj-Pz29e-Y1su5VvtgutpusyIqg5pRtS58t~yuQWEJnwuolf8WM4NnhtjEGY372tFeb5fatV~tYsnJ3lx0b1dvQ723jAIXjmqzjTIPSBUYKkeN31USOmmkjA~6xB9E0dPbt6RL1aj57RbAejIe3pwX4HN4KPKm5dHNWRapYWjKdOLGybNA8AG31~NliJ08j~iFmLkKs3miHATVkQMOUI~Iq0KFLTrWe2BDGtw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Springville City Council approved a resolution authorizing department directors to operate retail sales functions in city-owned facilities and establishing guidelines for pricing, inventory, discounts and reporting.

City staff explained that retail sales already occur in multiple locations — the art museum store, the CRC, a small library sales pilot, compost sales and the municipal golf pro shop — and that the city’s current budget process treated most items as fees rather than retail pricing. The resolution gives managers authority to operate retail functions, requires directors to adopt store policies addressing revenue goals, purchase strategies, inventory management, markups and discounts, training and other practices, and requires an annual report to the city controller summarizing revenue and expenses, audit results and future plans.

Staff described allowable discount rules: directors may provide discounts for employees, bulk purchases, seasonal sales and items held in inventory longer than one year; policies must not sell items below wholesale price unless an item has been in inventory at least one year. Staff also said the city’s financial controls — deposit timelines and monthly financial reporting to directors and the controller — remain in effect and that monthly revenue reports are already available to directors and supervisors.

The resolution was moved and seconded and passed on a roll-call vote recorded in the meeting: Mike — yes; Jake — yes; Logan — yes; Mindy — yes; Craig — yes.

Why it matters: the change standardizes city retail operations and pricing authority across departments, clarifies allowed discounts, and creates required reporting to help the city monitor retail revenues and inventories as the municipal golf shop moves to city operations.","Council approved a resolution authorizing department directors to operate retail sales functions (museum, CRC, library, golf, compost sales), set pricing and discount rules, and require annual reporting to the city controller.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6648429,"Council approves boundary-line adjustment with Provo north of 1400 North",233,1699000,1932000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2656572-fd0da0d779fe37e8e0a1947dab417f2c&start=1699&end=1932","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2656572-fd0da0d779fe37e8e0a1947dab417f2c/thumbnail_1699000.jpg","/articles/6648429/Utah/Council-approves-boundary-line-adjustment-with-Provo-north-of-1400-North","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6648429-0c3308ca5c19bc5852d54056fe30e50a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163465&Signature=jerFj5nYz5fnGxSBpK5lQKpdYxEcQh8sMWlQgmFiTTeRIR4XhkYgme44wpwN7x7nbklnjHLClpgWPkgI3wKCkutVLTJOulHjmRuHYZ6GpK93eFoA3YZUus4k0tLU3qVuzPY4apr8rvQ9cRQfUZjSe29bmgFwaLWSpe9D2GnbA-FcuZ8il05xkOpULgahHgzRS8MVz5KerDNWnvbNQWWJATYX00GTgE28WbLmd07A203GSWkQE8h2CYWRmsfIc4aa5MCf4hVj0qgohIGLWfWxtXeyZwFBtVQMvXk0EzDRojxG1APO16x2QdjIDH-DrJvhcZ8AGs2Xl8Dk~PIl3xlONA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Springville City Council approved a resolution to adjust the common boundary line with Provo City immediately north of 1400 North and approximately 820 feet west of Main Street.

Staff and a resident presentation recounted prior discussions of the boundary adjustment going back to February 2022 and explained the practical purpose: to move Springville’s boundary to the back of curb along a newly completed road and to remove a narrow “nuisance” strip between the cities. Staff said the adjustment will give Springville ownership to the back of curb and add small portions of property adjacent to the road, which staff described as property gains rather than losses for residents. Staff also said the change is intended to support a future routing change to make the intersection on State Street safer.

A resident who spoke during the item noted the council previously agreed to the boundary move but that Provo had not completed its side of the process; the item was brought back so both cities could complete the required procedural steps. Council discussed whether the change would allow property owners to access the newly-adjusted area and were told that access or use questions would be handled with Provo and property owners as needed.

A councilmember moved to approve “resolution number 2025-06, adjusting the common boundary line immediately north of 1400 North and approximately 820 feet west of Main Street in Springville between Springville City and Provo City” (text as recorded in the meeting). The motion passed on a roll-call vote recorded in the meeting: Craig — yes; Logan — yes; Mindy — yes; Mike — yes; Jake — yes.

Why it matters: the boundary adjustment clarifies municipal responsibility for property adjacent to a completed road, eliminates a small unincorporated strip between the cities, and supports anticipated roadway improvements to improve intersection safety on State Street.","Springville City Council approved a resolution to adjust the common municipal boundary with Provo immediately north of 1400 North, moving the line to the back of curb to eliminate a nuisance strip and support a future intersection reconfiguration.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6648434,"Springville council approves multi-department budget amendments and reallocations for FY ending June 30, 2025",699,995000,1694000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2656572-fd0da0d779fe37e8e0a1947dab417f2c&start=995&end=1694","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2656572-fd0da0d779fe37e8e0a1947dab417f2c/thumbnail_995000.jpg","/articles/6648434/Utah/Springville-council-approves-multi-department-budget-amendments-and-reallocations-for-FY-ending-June-30-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6648434-e565199ebef38bb6b6c46d15cd9eb3fc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771163465&Signature=mtngedYOZWPuNzBDJqtjKmoCYKWqx4AgiRkpUw549LdLuYpwxAhPTeB0FuVy7OO6sj1ZY6gRaCi6rP7mp0qXTPyW5P-5CpC7eIZTpGq8eQwnUcusNmnuRaNLGYQ5d8UyfvWCFuYQ3JDzBcbqidlOuuSjNV8-i8EfLeOGoIaI~2q5YbfDQM~Y9dGJtRUHEfxh1SwFUcvf2mHTIQaMzJivT7Vgqc-3jHmE8O9NdMMoKFjm7OqHa1G08EWqph6kNqRZ9OWj8raBnVKmx58AiCtDJ6qWYE58rIQ-dR4~6Bhd4MD2pd9YwmY4nkGAJybGJDxrazLBU-w1X3QQBTS0AIrnKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Springville City Council approved a resolution to open and amend the general fund, special revenue fund, power fund and golf course fund budgets for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, after a staff presentation and a public hearing with no speakers.

City finance and department staff told the council the amendment would appropriate an additional $26,117 in existing state grant funds to the police department’s general grants line, allowing the department to spend remaining state public safety mental-health program grant dollars this fiscal year. Staff said the grant had been received previously and the remaining balance was needed now because the department was ahead of the original spending schedule.

Council also approved additional authority for the Springville Art Museum’s facility study. The museum had $25,000 in the current budget and issued an RFP; the Art Association agreed to contribute up to an additional $75,000. Staff said the amendment would provide the museum with up to $100,000 of authority to finish the study within the scope of the RFP, with the Art Association contributing only what is actually needed.

Multiple power department items were included. Staff explained ongoing arrangements for temporary backup generation at the water reclamation facility will shift to a standalone wastewater generator for operational and economic reasons. Rental charges tied to temporary backup generation will be covered by identified savings in other power plant projects, including a fuel tank replacement, an ironworker machine and air handler work, with the identified amount cited by staff of $68,000. Council was also told the 1500 West–Center Street substation is a multi-year, multi-million-dollar, impact-fee-funded project; staff requested an additional $800,000 from impact fee funds to close out that project.

Parks and Recreation staff described a proposed fitness park on the southeast corner of the CRC property (adjacent to existing pickleball courts). The project already had $250,000 budgeted; the parks advisory board recommended and staff requested an additional $300,000 in PAR revenue to complete the preferred design, bringing the project total to $550,000. Presenters said the open-air fitness park will include a timed 40-yard dash, a “ninja” course with features for different ages and space for CRC-led fitness classes; restroom infrastructure was described as a later phase.

Staff also described a business-model change at the municipal golf course: the city plans to transition ownership and operation of the pro shop and retail sales from the contracted golf professional to city management. The proposed changes will include renegotiating the golf professional’s employment agreement, purchasing existing inventory and fixtures, and covering startup costs; staff estimated an aggregate appropriation of about $195,000 related to that transition. Staff said the pro shop has produced net profit historically (reported ranges in staff comments of roughly $60,000 to $80,000 across recent years), and the change is reflected in the fiscal 2026 budget projections.

Council opened and closed a public hearing on the amendments with no public comments. A councilmember moved to approve “resolution number 20 20 five-five, opening and amending the general fund, special revenue fund, power fund, and golf course fund budgets for operating and capital expenses, applying to the fiscal year ending 06/30/2025 as outlined in exhibit A” (resolution text read as recorded in the meeting). The motion passed on a roll-call vote recorded in the meeting: Jake — yes; Logan — yes; Mindy — yes; Craig — yes; Mike — yes. Staff closed the presentation following the vote.

Why it matters: the amendments free previously received grant dollars for immediate expenditure, add city and community association-supported funding for an arts facility study, allocate impact-fee funds to finish a major power substation, fund a new public fitness amenity, and formalize city operation of municipal golf course retail activity — each of which will affect departmental operations and capital project timelines for the upcoming fiscal year.","The council approved a resolution to open and amend several city funds for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, authorizing grant expenditures and additional appropriations for power projects, an art museum study, a CRC fitness park, and changes to golf course operations.","actionData","errors"]
