A councilor moved to approve a $5,000 annual performance compensation for a city employee; a second was received. Council members debated the effective date (January 1 versus April 1) and whether the council should be provided the performance metrics used in annual reviews. One councilor asked that the metrics be circulated to members so feedback can be provided during the year rather than surprising a supervisor during the review process. The transcript does not include a clear roll-call vote or final recorded outcome for the compensation motion; a council member asked about implementing the next $5,000 increment in a future year contingent on budget and metrics.

Separately, the emergency-preparedness committee asked to reduce the frequency of its radio check-ins to once a month (first Sunday) and to rely more on texting and cell phones for broader communication. The committee proposed a short “safety moment” — a 3- to 5-minute item at council meetings every other month — and councilors agreed to allow approximately 18 minutes a year for those moments.

Council also received a business application related to a micro school; no formal action on the application was recorded during this meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council 3.18.25","oneSentenceSummary","Councilors introduced a $5,000 annual performance compensation item, discussed timing and metrics for reviews, approved monthly radio-check frequency changes for emergency-preparedness volunteers and noted a micro-school business application.","taxTitle","Fruit Heights City Council, Fruit Heights, Davis County, Utah","taxId",21255,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6116983,"Council schedules public hearing on recycling fees, discusses citywide survey",125,1279000,1404000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2731300-08748f8944d081edd609762fc793ed0b&start=1279&end=1404","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2731300-08748f8944d081edd609762fc793ed0b/thumbnail_1279000.jpg","/articles/6116983/Utah/Council-schedules-public-hearing-on-recycling-fees-discusses-citywide-survey","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6116983-fea8860137d91f4c76b0d479ad7e65b9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770970610&Signature=UvwYnmUDC-BVS7BCckNcY7G3CavumUkPbgx1KFTwdZoQYnTFSWFghFWESNDG~g9vPjbD5PSlhK3qML0KYhVY8NOEbPZZLbPst0M3uQxgQsN0D0lYXCZjzBO5Wx0nPU5es4WXCp8h7UCjexQmYR010Mk75VDN7HDPguc-Ng4YHZ6rBswYg8t8aahFk0il2z7GqUoruxplCyRUU7tu1cAX48V7DqRupawYgskeKyHkIChsSujQhdAYWPHsZ4PwayrBu4QnkI8O6B8Ljx4s26RU~qD36sjkBlMHyHp4ZAmtTjumnr6yRd~2Yr35VkM2VIm4euafcPzBup2UCn-HnghsaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Fruit Heights City Council confirmed a public hearing on recycling and the consolidated fee schedule and discussed conducting a citywide survey in advance to collect resident input.

Staff said a public hearing is scheduled for April 8 (year not specified in the transcript) as part of the consolidated fee-schedule review. Councilors discussed whether the city should run a survey before the hearing to solicit resident preferences and noted informal email feedback suggested majority support for recycling, with one council estimate saying roughly 65–70% of respondents appeared to favor the change based on incoming correspondence.

Council members and staff discussed outreach logistics: signage requirements for a formal public hearing, separate signage and QR-code materials to promote an online survey, timing to post signs, and whether the county’s participation could affect per-resident costs. One staff estimate stated that if the county withdrew from the program, the city’s per-resident fee could rise by about $2, though staff also said detailed numbers were not finalized and the probability of county withdrawal was considered low.

Council agreed that a survey could provide residents an anonymous way to submit feedback and directed staff to proceed with outreach planning, signage and survey preparation ahead of the scheduled hearing.","Fruit Heights council confirmed a public hearing on consolidated fee schedule and discussed running a citywide recycling survey ahead of the hearing; staff explained potential cost impacts if county participation changes.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6116989,"Council reviews general fund projections, water budget and infrastructure needs",396,715000,1111000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2731300-08748f8944d081edd609762fc793ed0b&start=715&end=1111","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2731300-08748f8944d081edd609762fc793ed0b/thumbnail_715000.jpg","/articles/6116989/Utah/Council-reviews-general-fund-projections-water-budget-and-infrastructure-needs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6116989-ee89ed2647872e286d05d08830f437e3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770970610&Signature=eak9~7xO~6uQDmfb0sMfOp8InozYkFjGERkaOUDaU0KLEjWq~TLwbY-qDXjKKoR5fTtQq7CZ0qlai-vHEk3b4MFpS-rgO5dAI4BxMIU44qOMW71~0MWfWy9GU6B2U1hrIqz5QxD6q2tAgeus79geoYZWNsKlOcmPYAiPLTvl~Wf9cAfs5Od6bWNc39ZPqzh7pzTfQuVlkWZeY-Ri7hqRi1uf01drv5~NJf4iOc682eNZcad4J6x2MIjuRMf5cYrAbMBDLrPwmj0bbQSHQdk5OyIEMnLbeQvKEj-XCXSxxAIZYQ1xumF1Nr8dKJ4IQC~zAOBiIJGSz~K9ZytsLfi6SQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff briefed Fruit Heights City Council on the general fund revenue forecast, water-budget work and several capital improvements affecting operations and maintenance.

Staff said they and a contracted CPA are assembling the full budget package and expect to present it to the council in the coming weeks. The presentation compared current-year revenue percentages to budgeted projections and highlighted areas that outperformed expectations, including park reservations.

On the water budget, staff reported recent cost increases for certain services and materials and described a set of capital outlay items: a $15,000 line item for capital improvements tied to sampling stations, and cost estimates tied to installing six sampling stations as part of sanitary-survey preparations. Staff stated the city has converted several buildings to fiber and expects adjustments to monthly charges as older services are canceled; one staff comment estimated that switching services could reduce the city’s monthly costs by roughly $300 once the changes are complete.

Councilors raised the condition of aging transmission lines. Staff identified sections of asbestos-cement (“transite”) pipe in the system and said those pipes become brittle and require replacement if damaged. Staff described asbestos cement as not harmful in situ but a concern when pipes are damaged and must be handled per standard safety processes. The council discussed prioritizing replacements and budgetary options for vehicle and equipment leasing tied to these capital needs.

Staff said they will return with the formal budget package and supporting documents for council review.","City staff presented a revenue overview for the general fund, water-budget items and capital improvements including sampling stations, fiber connections and aging asbestos cement water pipes.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6116993,"Council reviews outsourced IT bids, agrees to pause decision pending missing materials",1997,276000,2273000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2731300-08748f8944d081edd609762fc793ed0b&start=276&end=2273","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2731300-08748f8944d081edd609762fc793ed0b/thumbnail_276000.jpg","/articles/6116993/Utah/Council-reviews-outsourced-IT-bids-agrees-to-pause-decision-pending-missing-materials","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6116993-f6ef21126bfda26bfbec029ca243e015/orig.mp4?Expires=1770970610&Signature=BW7mOqfvFls8YVbH61A9BxrvP4MDBYYM4-l3jwqOq~f4UW5wenqykbK8-bR0uKqDIQBKrZEP4EODskpql4h~8pCZycG~SQXecvmseg0XJEgwJxH3Fa9-3LgYR-m6zOdMs2B08~i4DfvydID-HGWSMxiiGRm2uzuGtU0FD7NlAkn4zXFU2mZCl-WF8Ky25N46x3cV-~LHr1crPrPbr5MF5Ag4veh96~SmyUQmMC46qimgt~r6KOQJ3mtRDtniez3-Xm2RR6mX3P8qog3FFHTCnvKYUy6gDRbBp8hrWdr3-Cl3drtkPS6stL8tjuC1Iqe7BYHnRa~qhg~uUxrTLEfDAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Fruit Heights City Council discussed competing bids for an outsourced information-technology contract, heard staff and council questions about vendor proposals and agreed to pause final action to allow incomplete attachments to be added to the meeting record.

Staff presented three or more vendor options including Intuitive (appearing in the staff recommendation), Comtech (examined as an incumbent), Wasatch, and a bidder identified in the meeting as “2 d by t solutions.” Council members questioned contract length, monthly costs cited in the packet (approximately $22.93 per month in one staff comment), and service-level details for remote monitoring and on-site response.

Council members raised concerns that a page or attachment referenced in the packet was missing from the public materials. One council member recommended tabling the item for two weeks so the public could review the full bid package. Other members agreed the missing materials needed to be added before a final vote.

Because the council did not complete a final vote on the record at this meeting, no award was finalized.

Staff and council members noted the winning company had performed similar work for the city previously. No dollar amount for the contract or detailed scope beyond “lighting” was included in the meeting record.

The council did not record a roll-call vote in the published transcript; minutes should be checked for a complete vote tally and the final contract amount.
