OPENING

D

Mayor Tamara Tran called the Kaysville City Council meeting to order, welcomed those in
attendance, and invited Council Member Blackham to provide the opening.
Council Member Blackham shared remarks about former Phoenix Fire Chief Alan Brunacini and
his philosophy of treating those served by the fire department with kindness and respect. He
explained that despite Chief Brunacini’s significant contributions to incident command, firefighter
accountability, and fireground safety, he emphasized that people often remembered how they were
treated during an emergency. His “Mrs. Smith” philosophy focused on customer service, kindness,
trust, teamwork, listening, continued learning, and supporting one another. Council Member
Blackham said the underlying message was to “be nice” and encouraged everyone to consider how
they could treat others with greater kindness. He then offered the invocation and led the Pledge of
Allegiance.

CALL TO THE PUBLIC
Matthew Lemmon, a Kaysville resident, addressed the Council regarding political accountability.
He stated that a group of northern Utah voters had organized around concerns regarding corruption
and government accountability rather than political party affiliation. He referenced several elected
officials whom he said voters had recently removed from office, expressed opposition to
Congressman Blake Moore, and stated his support for Carlton Bowen of the Independent
American Party as a congressional candidate. He encouraged support for candidates he believed
represented integrity and accountability and also expressed opposition to the proposed data center,
which he characterized as a symbol of corruption.

R
AF

T

Brent Toller, a resident of Kays Drive, addressed the Council regarding accessory dwelling units
and recent discussions concerning changes to City regulations in response to state requirements.
He reiterated concerns regarding the size and height of detached accessory dwelling units and
advocated limiting them to one story and approximately 1,000 square feet. He expressed concern
regarding two-story structures, balconies, window placement, neighborhood privacy, and potential
effects on surrounding property values. Mr. Toller stated that a real estate professional had advised
him that a recently constructed two-story structure near his property could negatively affect his
property value. He asked the Council to consider beginning with more restrictive standards,
including a single-story limitation, and adjusting the regulations in the future if warranted.
PRESENTATIONS AND AWARDS

PRESENTATION OF THE SUPERVISING FIRE OFFICER AWARD TO COLTON BASCOM
Fire Chief Paul Erickson invited Captain Tyler Reece, B Shift Captain, to make the presentation.

D

Captain Reece explained that Colton Bascom had earned the Supervising Fire Officer designation
through the Utah Fire Officer Designation Program after meeting criteria developed by the
International Association of Fire Chiefs and additional Utah-specific requirements. The
designation required career development courses, higher education, certifications, training, and
fire service experience. Captain Reece described it as the first level in a career preparation pathway
and a significant professional milestone demonstrating Mr. Bascom’s commitment to professional
development and service. He recognized Mr. Bascom for his work and continued dedication.
PROCLAMATION DECLARING OCTOBER 4–10, 2026, AS FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Chief Erickson addressed the Council regarding Fire Prevention Week, explaining that the annual
observance had historical connections to significant fires in the United States and had been
sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association since 1922. He explained that the 2026
theme focused on safe charging practices and fire risks associated with batteries and charging
devices, including those used for electric vehicles, scooters, and portable power packs.
Chief Erickson also announced that the Kaysville Fire Department would hold its annual open
house on October 7 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. He then read the proclamation declaring October 4
through October 10, 2026, as Fire Prevention Week in Kaysville City. The proclamation
2
Page 4 of 36

encouraged residents to remain aware of their surroundings, identify available exits during fires
and other emergencies, and immediately leave a building when a smoke alarm sounded.
SWEARING-IN OF THE 2026–2027 KAYSVILLE YOUTH CITY COUNCIL

T

Mayor Tran invited the Kaysville Youth City Council members and their advisors forward and
congratulated the youth on being selected to serve. She discussed several activities in which Youth
City Council members participate, including Day at the Legislature, the Scarecrow Walk at the
USU Botanical Center, Fable Forest, and other community service activities. Youth City Council
Advisor Marny Clark added that members participate in Kaysville Gives, cemetery cleanup, and
approximately one volunteer service activity each month. Mayor Tran also noted their previous
assistance with the City’s “Lunch with the Mayor” elementary school program and described the
Youth City Council as an opportunity to serve the community while learning about municipal
government and City operations.
Mayor Tran administered the oath of office and congratulated the Youth City Council members
on their appointments.

R
AF

SWEARING-IN OF THE 2026–2027 KAYSVILLE YOUTH COURT

Mayor Tran invited members of the Kaysville Youth Court and their advisors forward. Youth
Court Advisor Randi Von Bose explained that although five members were present that evening,
the program included approximately 25 youth court judges. Participants volunteer approximately
two and one-half hours per week for about 25 weeks during the year, with each member potentially
contributing approximately 50 hours of service.

D

Ms. Von Bose explained that the Kaysville Police Department could refer certain minor juvenile
offenses to Youth Court rather than the juvenile court system, providing an opportunity for local
intervention intended to redirect youth toward better behavior. She noted that Kim Smith had
established the Kaysville Youth Court approximately 26 years earlier and that the program had
handled many cases since that time. She added that Youth Court had already experienced a
substantial caseload during the current year and commended the youth judges for their service.
Mayor Tran emphasized that Youth Court membership required responsible conduct,
confidentiality, impartiality, and good citizenship at school, at home, and in the community. She
administered the oath of office, formally appointed the members, and thanked them for their
service.
DAVIS COUNTY ANIMAL CARE PRESENTATION
Michelle Hicks, Director of Animal Care of Davis County, provided an overview of the agency’s
services and Kaysville-specific data. She identified core services including pet adoption and owner
surrenders, field enforcement, volunteer and foster programs, the community cat program, and
emergency preparedness. She explained that ten field officers respond to nuisance complaints,
barking dogs, animal fights, agency-assist requests, and other animal-related incidents. The agency

3
Page 5 of 36

also operates a community cat program through which stray or feral cats are trapped, vaccinated,
spayed or neutered, and generally returned to their colonies when they are not suitable for adoption.
Ms. Hicks highlighted community support services, including a donation-supported pet food
pantry intended to help residents experiencing financial difficulties keep their pets, as well as
efforts to reunite lost animals with their owners.

T

Ms. Hicks reviewed Kaysville-specific data from January through June 2026. Agency-assist
requests from the Police and Fire Departments were the most common calls involving Kaysville,
and park patrols were another significant service. During the reporting period, 34 animals from
Kaysville were surrendered to the shelter, 42 were adopted, and 16 community cats were trapped,
neutered, and returned. Ms. Hicks said nuisance complaints frequently involved barking dogs and
explained that officers generally attempt education and other solutions before enforcement. Bite
investigations included both animals biting people and animal-on-animal incidents, with many
animal conflicts involving unleashed animals.

R
AF

Ms. Hicks recommended additional animal-related signage at Heritage Park, particularly along the
walking path and near the splash pad. She identified Barnes Park as an area of concern because
dogs continued to be brought into the park despite City rules prohibiting them. She recommended
additional signage near parking and entrance areas to assist with education and enforcement. She
also recommended garbage cans at trailheads where appropriate because officers had observed pet
waste bags left along trails when disposal facilities were unavailable.
Ms. Hicks reported that volunteers contributed more than 7,000 hours of service to the shelter
during 2025. Kaysville residents accounted for 90 volunteers and more than 700 volunteer hours.
She also described short-term programs that allow residents to take shelter dogs on outings or
temporarily into their homes, providing the animals with time outside the shelter and helping staff
learn more about their behavior.

D

Mayor Tran asked whether the agency handled large animals, including horses. Ms. Hicks
confirmed that Animal Care of Davis County accepts livestock owner surrenders and works with
livestock rescue organizations or other placement options when necessary.
KAYSVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION ANNUAL REPORT
Parks and Recreation Director Cole Stephens presented an overview of the Parks and Recreation
Department, which includes the recreation, parks, and cemetery divisions, as well as responsibility
for City facilities. He explained that the department’s mission supports the City’s goal of
enhancing quality of life by providing and maintaining parks, open spaces, recreation programs,
facilities, and cemetery services.
Mr. Stephens reported that the Kaysville City Cemetery was officially established in 1865, with
the first burial occurring in 1857. He discussed efforts to preserve cemetery capacity for Kaysville
residents and noted that recent policy changes had shifted the proportion of interments toward
residents after nonresident interments had previously outpaced resident interments. Approximately
150 new headstones are installed each year, and staff maintains approximately 8,000 headstones
4
Page 6 of 36

and 187 trees. There had been 98 interments year-to-date, and the City had recently completed its
first two sales in the new cremation garden. Approximately 1,400 veterans are interred in the
cemetery and are recognized each Memorial Day through the placement of flags by the City,
American Legion, and community volunteers.

T

Mr. Stephens reported that the City maintains approximately 163 acres of developed park property
and 205 acres of undeveloped property, including approximately 139 acres at Wilderness Park.
The department also maintains more than 17 miles of trails and sidewalks, approximately 2,200
trees, and more than 100 acres of turf. Planned or designed projects included the future reimagining
of Trappers Field and Quail Crossing, improvements at 950 North Sunset Escape, and the UDOTfunded West Davis Corridor landscape enhancement project. Recent improvements included water
conservation projects at several City properties, including removal of approximately 4,000 square
feet of turf at the fire station, for which the City anticipated receiving more than $10,000 through
a Weber Basin water conservation program. Other improvements have been completed at Barnes
Park and City Hall, along with upgrades to the sand volleyball court lighting.

R
AF

Mr. Stephens reported that approximately 10,500 youth and adults participate in the City’s primary
recreation programs. He highlighted the Super Sport summer program, which allows children to
experience multiple activities in a noncompetitive setting. He said the opening of the new Field
House Gymnasium would significantly expand the department’s ability to offer programming,
particularly for adults.
Mr. Stephens also reviewed the department’s involvement with several City boards and
commissions and explained that the department oversees maintenance of approximately 80,100
square feet of City buildings, in addition to park structures and amenities. Upcoming or potential
facility projects included improvements to the former library building, renovation of the
Operations Center, and a potential second fire station.

D

Council Member Hunt asked what adult recreation programs were being considered for the Field
House. Mr. Stephens said staff anticipated opportunities such as men’s and women’s basketball,
volleyball, yoga and fitness classes, and walking programs for seniors. Consistent access to the
Field House would allow staff to develop programs that had not previously been possible because
of limited facility availability. Council Member Adams also expressed appreciation for Mr.
Stephens’ work and service to the city.
DECLARATION OF ANY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Mayor Tran asked whether any Council members had conflicts of interest to declare. No conflicts
were identified.
CONSENT ITEMS
Council Member Adams then moved to approve the following consent items:
a) Approval of Minutes from the August 20, 2026 Council Meeting.
b) Approval of Minutes from the August 20, 2026 Kaysville Business Park Architectural
Review Committee Meeting.

AN ORDINANCE REPEALING ORDINANCE 26-08-02, ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY
LAND USE REGULATION ON ACCESSORY STRUCTURES
Community Development Director Brad McIlrath presented an ordinance repealing Ordinance 2608-02, which had established a temporary land use regulation (TLUR) on accessory structures. He
explained that the TLUR had been adopted following concerns raised by staff and the Planning
Commission. Staff had since reviewed several provisions with the Building Official and City
Manager, including building height, setbacks, lot coverage, and terminology within the existing
code.

D

Mr. McIlrath clarified that the regulations applied to accessory structures generally, not detached
accessory dwelling units. Under the existing code, accessory structures larger than 200 square feet
may be up to 12 feet high at or within one foot of a property line. Structures exceeding 12 feet
require an additional one-foot setback for each additional foot of height, up to a maximum height
of 30 feet, measured to the average roof height. He explained that the graduated setback and roofpitch requirements were intended to reduce the impact of taller structures on neighboring
properties. He also identified code language referring to required side and rear yards that could be
clarified to specify setback areas.
Mr. McIlrath explained that the combined area of accessory structures cannot exceed 20 percent
of the lot area remaining after subtracting the footprint of the primary building, and no single
accessory structure may exceed 10 percent of that yard area. He used diagrams to illustrate the
relationship between building height, roof pitch, property lines, and setbacks. In response to Mayor
Tran, he explained that the 12-foot standard was developed in part to accommodate detached
garages capable of storing trailers or boats while limiting impacts on neighboring properties and
allowing sufficient maneuvering space.
Council Member Hunt supported continuing the review initiated through the TLUR rather than
repealing it. She noted that residents had raised concerns from differing perspectives and said the
review could determine whether the existing balance remained appropriate. She identified issues
6
Page 8 of 36

for further consideration, including whether regulations should differ based on zoning or lot size,
whether taller structures should receive Planning Commission review, whether height and setback
requirements adequately addressed neighboring impacts, and whether ambiguous provisions such
as side-yard requirements should be clarified. She believed the Council should complete the review
process it had begun.
Council Member McBride recognized the work that had gone into the existing regulations and
noted that the City had a scale model demonstrating how the height and setback requirements
functioned. He said the existing ordinance already addressed several concerns, including windows
on certain sides of accessory structures.

T

Council Member Adams asked about notifying applicants of applicable homeowners association
requirements or private covenants, conditions, and restrictions. Mr. McIlrath clarified that the issue
had primarily been discussed in connection with detached accessory dwelling units but said staff
intended to consider language or a checkbox on City applications reminding applicants of their
responsibility to comply with applicable private restrictions. He noted that the City does not
enforce private CC&Rs.

R
AF

Council Member Blackham moved to approve the ordinance repealing Ordinance 26-08-02,
ending the temporary land use regulation on accessory structures. Council Member Adams
seconded the motion.
The vote on the motion was as follows:
Council Member Hunt, Nay
Council Member Blackham, Yea
Council Member McBride, Yea
Council Member Adams, Yea

The motion passed with a vote of three to one.

D

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING KAYSVILLE CITY CODE § 17-31-3, INTERNAL
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS, TO COMPLY WITH SENATE BILL 284 REGARDING
DETACHED ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT
Community Development Director Brad McIlrath presented proposed amendments to Kaysville
City Code Section 17-31-3 to comply with Senate Bill 284, which established statewide
requirements for detached accessory dwelling units (DADUs) effective October 1, 2026. He
reviewed the process leading to the proposed ordinance, including an August 13 Planning
Commission public hearing, Council review on August 20, and a special Council work session on
September 4.
Mr. McIlrath explained that the existing code section governing internal accessory dwelling units
(IADUs) would be expanded to address both internal and detached ADUs. General standards
applicable to both included limiting properties to one ADU, requiring owner occupancy of either
the primary dwelling or ADU, compliance with applicable building, health, and fire codes,
7
Page 9 of 36

licensing and parking requirements, and prohibiting separate utilities. Required parking displaced
by an ADU would have to be replaced elsewhere on the property, parking surfaces would be
required to be asphalt or concrete, and ADU parking could not be provided in tandem with parking
for the primary dwelling.

T

Standards specific to DADUs included a minimum lot size of 11,000 square feet. An existing
accessory structure could only be converted to a DADU if it complied with applicable DADU
standards. Maximum size would be 50 percent of the footprint of the primary dwelling, including
its garage, or 1,200 square feet, whichever was less. DADUs would not be permitted in the front
yard and generally would be required to meet the same setbacks as the primary dwelling. A twostory DADU would require a 15-foot side setback in addition to the 15-foot rear setback. Maximum
height would be the lesser of 25 feet or the height of the primary dwelling. Required off-street
parking would vary based on the size of the DADU. DADUs would also be prohibited where
infrastructure was insufficient and could not consist of recreational vehicles, travel trailers, mobile
homes, or other temporary structures.

R
AF

Mr. McIlrath explained that second-story decks and balconies would be subject to applicable
setbacks.
Mayor Tran opened the item for public comment.

Paul Toller addressed the Council and supported retaining the primary dwelling setbacks for
DADUs. He suggested clarifying language regarding the design and construction of DADUs,
noted a typographical error, questioned the difference between the 30-day minimum rental period
for IADUs and 90-day minimum for DADUs, and asked the Council to reconsider regulating
window orientation to protect neighboring properties.
Mr. McIlrath explained that the different minimum rental periods reflected state law. Mayor Tran
noted that the Council had previously discussed window orientation but had chosen not to restrict
windows because bedrooms require windows and such restrictions could limit the functionality of
a DADU.

D

The Council discussed whether additional restrictions should apply to second-story balconies and
decks to reduce potential privacy impacts on neighboring properties. Council Member Adams
expressed concern about balconies or decks located directly along a side of a DADU facing an
adjacent property. After considering several approaches and the need for a standard that could be
clearly administered, the Council agreed that a second-story balcony or deck should be located on
a facade facing an interior yard area and extend no more than one-half the width of that facade,
measured from the interior corner. Staff was directed to incorporate language reflecting that
direction into the ordinance.
Council Member Hunt revisited whether windows facing neighboring properties should be frosted
or otherwise obscured. The Council and staff discussed potential enforcement difficulties. Mr.
McIlrath also noted that the 15-foot side setback for a two-story DADU provided greater
separation from the property line than could be required for the primary dwelling, which could

8
Page 10 of 36

similarly contain second-story windows. The Council did not add additional restrictions on
window placement or require windows to be obscured.
Council Member Adams moved to approve the ordinance amending Section 17-31-3 of Kaysville
City Code, including the changes discussed regarding second-story balconies and decks. Council
Member McBride seconded the motion.
The vote on the motion was as follows:

The motion passed unanimously.

CONSIDERATION OF THE ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE
ISSUANCE AND SALE OF NOT MORE THAN $6,500,000 AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL
AMOUNT OF SALES TAX REVENUE BONDS, AND RELATED MATTERS
City Manager Jaysen Christensen introduced a resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of up
to $6.5 million in sales tax revenue bonds for improvements to the City’s Operations Center. He
recognized Garrett Gross of Gilmore Bell, the City’s bond counsel, who was present to answer
questions.

D

Mr. Christensen explained that the approximately 34-year-old Operations Center houses Public
Works, Power, and Parks operations and no longer adequately accommodates the City’s growth
or current operational needs. The project had been discussed for several years and had been scaled
back from an earlier concept estimated at approximately $39 million to a project currently
estimated at approximately $6.4 million. The proposed project would renovate and expand the
existing facility, provide covered storage for City vehicles and equipment, and bring the fuel island
into compliance with current requirements.
Mr. Christensen explained that the bonds would be repaid through utility revenues rather than
property taxes. He referenced previously adopted average monthly rate increases of approximately
$1.63 for water, $0.31 for electric, and $2.40 for stormwater, clarifying that those increases
supported broader citywide utility infrastructure needs and were not solely attributable to the
Operations Center project.
Mayor Tran opened the item for public comment.
Laurene Starkey, a Kaysville resident, requested clarification regarding the financing. She noted
that the resolution authorized up to $6.5 million over as many as 21 years at an interest rate not to
exceed six percent and referenced an estimated total debt service of approximately $9.1 million.
She asked about the total cost of borrowing, including interest; why the project had increased from
an approximately $5.4 million estimate discussed in November 2025; and why the financing
9
Page 11 of 36

structure had changed. Mrs. Starkey also asked whether the renovation represented a long-term
solution or primarily delayed the need for additional expansion and how the debt would fit with
other significant City financial commitments. She stated that she recognized the need for the
project but requested clarity regarding its cost, anticipated useful life, and overall financial impact.
Mr. Gross explained that the resolution established maximum parameters rather than final
borrowing terms. The $6.5 million principal amount and six percent interest-rate ceiling provided
flexibility for market conditions, construction contingencies, and ordinary project adjustments
without requiring further Council action. The authorization did not obligate the City to issue the
full amount or proceed with the bonds if market conditions were not favorable. The resolution also
authorized the pledged revenue source and delegated authority to designated City officials,
working with the City’s financial advisor and bond counsel, to establish final terms. Mr. Gross
explained that the sales tax pledge was expected to support a stronger bond credit rating.

R
AF

T

Council Member Adams noted that the project would still be competitively bid and that
authorization of up to $6.5 million did not establish the amount the City would ultimately spend
or borrow. Mr. Gross agreed and stated that maximum bond parameters are commonly set higher
than the amount ultimately issued.
Parks and Recreation Director Cole Stephens explained that the earlier approximately $5.4 million
figure primarily represented construction costs and did not include expenses such as design,
construction documents, permits, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Mr. Christensen emphasized
that the project scope had not materially changed.
Mr. Christensen acknowledged that additional expansion could eventually be necessary as the City
continued to grow but emphasized that the improvements included in the current project would
remain useful and necessary if future expansion occurred. He described the project as a financially
manageable step toward addressing long-term operational needs rather than constructing the
substantially larger facility previously considered.

D

Mayor Tran asked about the anticipated construction schedule. Mr. Stephens reported that design
and construction documents were expected to take approximately four to five months, with the
City targeting a construction bid in February or March 2027. Construction was anticipated to begin
around April or May and take approximately 12 to 18 months.
Council Member Hunt moved to approve the resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of not
more than $6.5 million aggregate principal amount of sales tax revenue bonds and related matters.
Council Member McBride seconded the motion.
The vote on the motion was as follows:
Council Member McBride, Yea
Council Member Adams, Yea
Council Member Hunt, Yea
Council Member Blackham, Yea

10

The motion passed unanimously.
COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS
Council Member Hunt recognized Constitution Day and noted that it was fitting that Youth Court
members had taken their oath of office that evening. She also provided an update on the Central
Three Communities That Care Coalition, explaining that the coalition continued to focus on
prevention efforts and family activities intended to strengthen relationships between youth and
their families. The coalition was working to establish a youth component to provide greater input
from young people, and she encouraged interested youth to become involved.

CITY MANAGER REPORT

T

Mayor Tran announced the upcoming Scarecrow Walk at the Utah State University Botanical
Center and encouraged residents to attend. She noted that the Kaysville Youth City Council would
be contributing a scarecrow.

R
AF

City Manager Jaysen Christensen provided an update on the former library building project. He
reported that the City had received 15 architectural proposals, narrowed them to three finalists,
and completed final interviews. AJC Architects had been selected, and the next phase would
include preliminary design, cost estimates, and financial analysis. Mr. Christensen said the City
was also working with Colliers on preliminary market rent estimates and was optimistic that
leasing space within the building could fund a significant portion of the project costs. Mayor Tran
said the City hoped to have sufficient information to make a decision regarding the project before
the end of the year.
Council Member Blackham recognized Community Development Director Brad McIlrath for his
first Council meeting presentation and thanked him for his professionalism and preparation.

PUBLIC HEARING - 7:00 PM

PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC WITH RESPECT TO (A) THE
ISSUANCE OF APPROXIMATELY $16,500,000 OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS AND
(B) THE POTENTIAL ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT THE IMPROVEMENTS, FACILITIES,
OR PROPERTIES TO BE FINANCED IN WHOLE OR IN PART WITH THE PROCEEDS OF
SAID BONDS WILL HAVE ON THE PRIVATE SECTOR

D

Mayor Tran opened the public hearing regarding the proposed issuance of general obligation bonds
to construct a new fire station. She explained that the bond proposition would be presented to
Kaysville voters at the November 3, 2026 election. The hearing was held pursuant to Utah Code
Section 11-14-318 to receive public input regarding the proposed bond issuance and any potential
economic impact of the improvements financed by the bonds on the private sector.
Mayor Tran reviewed the public hearing procedures and explained that the Council's purpose was
to receive public input rather than engage in discussion or debate with individual speakers. She
stated that questions and concerns would be documented and addressed through additional
information or follow-up as appropriate. She encouraged attendees to provide their contact
information so the City could respond to questions and provide updates.
Jay Davis, a Kaysville resident, stated that he supported the need for an additional fire station but
believed a suitable facility could be constructed for substantially less than the proposed $16
million. Drawing on his experience working on Salt Lake City fire stations, he suggested a preengineered steel building with additional insulation and radiant floor heating as a more economical
alternative. He also opposed borrowing for the project, stating that the City should have begun
1
Page 14 of 36

setting aside funds when the need for another station was identified in 2018. He encouraged the
City to reduce expenditures and save toward construction rather than incur long-term interest
expenses.
Lynn Galbraith expressed concern regarding the information provided to voters and the financial
impact of the proposed bond. He stated that the City's informational materials did not include an
opposing argument, which he believed was important for an informed decision. He referenced the
City's existing debt obligations, including approximately $13 million at the beginning of 2025 and
additional obligations associated with the Kaysville Field House, and questioned the potential for
total indebtedness to approach $40 million if the bond were approved. He estimated that his annual
property taxes could increase by approximately $700 when considering the bond and other tax
increases. He emphasized the burden on residents with fixed or limited incomes and encouraged
the City to delay the project until existing debt had been reduced.

Brigg Lewis, a Kaysville resident, questioned the proposed location and necessity of a second fire
station. He suggested that existing or proposed fire stations in neighboring communities, including
Layton and Farmington, might provide emergency response coverage to portions of western
Kaysville. He expressed concern about the impact of increased property taxes on homeowners and
renters, as well as the estimated annual staffing and operating costs of an additional station. He
encouraged the City to evaluate regional resources and consider saving for construction rather than
borrowing.
Dave Black, a Kaysville resident, suggested evaluating City-owned property as an alternative
location, noting that selling the proposed site could potentially reduce project costs. He also
questioned whether the reported average of approximately seven emergency calls per day citywide
justified constructing and staffing a full second station. He recommended considering a smaller
ambulance-only facility staffed by emergency medical personnel or a basic station designed for
future expansion as demand increased.

D

John Deker, a Kaysville resident, raised concerns regarding financial planning for residential
growth and the costs of providing additional municipal services. He requested a breakdown of the
proposed $16.5 million bond amount, including construction, design, furnishings, equipment, and
related expenses, and questioned how the City would oversee project expenditures.
Mr. Deker also questioned whether the projected emergency call volume justified staffing a second
station and whether the estimated $2 million in additional annual staffing costs represented the full
operating expense. He referenced the Fire Department's existing budget of approximately $4.3
million and asked whether additional tax increases could be necessary to support ongoing
operations. He also requested information regarding a proposed additional administrative position
and the percentage of residents and emergency calls located on the west side of the City.
Mike Schubert, a Kaysville resident, expressed dissatisfaction with the City's financial decisions,
particularly its participation in the Field House project. He opposed the proposed fire station bond,
characterizing it as another example of excessive municipal spending.

2
Page 15 of 36

Brian Gough, a Kaysville resident, expressed opposition to the proposed bond based on its
financial implications. He raised concerns regarding property tax increases, inflation, and the cost
of constructing a facility to meet National Fire Protection Association standards, which he noted
were not mandatory. He encouraged the Council to consider the City's financial capacity and the
impact of additional taxes on lower-income residents.
Greg Burgoyne, a resident of Autumn Park Circle, questioned the estimated property tax impact
of the proposed bond and asked whether the approximately $306 annual increase would be added
to his existing City property taxes. He referenced the City's financial statements and asked whether
a portion of its approximately $7.58 million unrestricted fund balance could be used toward
construction. He also questioned changes in reported population figures and expressed concern
about the affordability of continued property tax increases.

T

Dan Memmott, a Kaysville resident, requested clarification regarding the City's existing bond
obligations, including bonds he understood would mature in 2031 and 2033. He also questioned
how existing interlocal fire protection agreements with Davis County and neighboring jurisdictions
had been considered in evaluating the need for a second station.

R
AF

Mr. Memmott suggested several alternatives for further consideration, including delaying
construction while establishing a dedicated capital reserve, constructing a smaller facility, phasing
construction, developing a regional fire and emergency medical services model, contracting for
services, and pursuing other response-time improvements without immediately constructing a full
station. He distinguished existing mutual aid arrangements from a regional model involving jointly
staffed facilities. He also expressed concern about public awareness of the proposal and the
absence of an opposing argument in the election materials. He acknowledged the importance of
adequate emergency services while encouraging further evaluation of costs and alternatives.

D

Matthew Lemmon, a Kaysville resident, expressed opposition to what he considered excessive
City spending. He referenced previous comments regarding residents becoming more involved in
local elections and encouraged Council Members to consider constituent concerns when making
financial decisions. He stated that a group of residents intended to increase voter participation in
the 2027 municipal election.
John Leary, a longtime Kaysville resident, expressed concern that residential development had
increased demand for public safety services without sufficient financial planning for additional
facilities. He suggested that development-related revenues should have been accumulated to help
fund future public safety needs. He also questioned whether the proposal originated from residents
and estimated that the bond would increase the City portion of his property taxes by approximately
68 percent.
Mr. Leary asked whether an independent evaluation had been conducted to establish the need for
a second fire station and requested additional emergency response statistics. He questioned
whether the number of structure fires and overall call volume justified constructing a full station
and purchasing additional apparatus. He suggested considering a smaller ambulance facility and
requested information regarding the size and cost of the existing and proposed stations. He also

3
Page 16 of 36

questioned the voting process for general obligation bonds, noting that all eligible voters could
participate although property owners would bear the direct property tax obligation.
Rick Shaw, a longtime Kaysville resident, asked how changes in fire service arrangements
involving Fruit Heights and Farmington affected the emergency call statistics used to support the
proposal. Mayor Tran confirmed that Fruit Heights had changed its service arrangement.
Mr. Shaw also questioned the proposed site's proximity to railroad tracks and expressed concern
regarding potential noise and vibration affecting firefighters working and sleeping at the facility.
He asked whether studies had been conducted to evaluate those conditions and whether the bond
would fund new fire apparatus and equipment. He suggested considering locations farther west
and questioned whether the proposed site would provide adequate freeway access and emergency
response coverage.

R
AF

T

Laurene Starkey, a Kaysville resident, expressed concern that the bond proposition would allow
voters to approve or reject the proposed project without considering alternative locations, designs,
or financing methods. She questioned the proposed site's proximity to railroad and freeway activity
and requested information regarding site-specific noise and vibration studies, including whether
the City's architects had experience designing fire stations under comparable conditions.
Mrs. Starkey also requested additional information regarding the long-term financial impact of the
project, including projected operating costs beyond the estimated annual bond-related property tax
increase of approximately $306 for a home valued at $711,000. She asked the City to identify
alternative locations, designs, and financing methods that had been evaluated and provide
comparative cost information. She emphasized the importance of considering emergency response
needs alongside the project's financial implications.

D

Following the public comments, Mayor Tran thanked those who participated and acknowledged
the questions and concerns raised. She reiterated that the Council and staff had documented the
comments and would review the questions and provide additional information or follow-up
responses as appropriate. After asking whether anyone else wished to speak and receiving no
additional requests, Mayor Tran closed the public hearing.
The Council then proceeded to its regular City Council meeting.
OPENING – 7:37 P.M.

Council Member Jackson thanked those in attendance for participating in the public hearing and
City Council meeting. He emphasized the importance of public involvement in helping the Council
make difficult decisions and acknowledged that the proposed fire station had been discussed for
several years. He encouraged residents to remain engaged in City government.
Council Member Jackson then offered the invocation and led the Pledge of Allegiance.

CALL TO THE PUBLIC
Matthew Lemmon, a Kaysville resident, expressed concerns regarding City Manager Jaysen
Christensen's handling of a complaint involving Kaysville Police Officer Tyson Embley. Mr.
Lemmon stated that he had reported what he believed were violations of his constitutional rights
and was dissatisfied with Mr. Christensen's response. He questioned the City Manager's
compensation and asserted that overseeing City employees and addressing concerns regarding
their conduct were among his responsibilities.
Following Mr. Lemmon's comments, Council Member Adams disputed the compensation figure
presented and expressed support for Mr. Christensen, describing him as an honorable and effective
City Manager. He disagreed with Mr. Lemmon’s characterization of Mr. Christensen and
expressed confidence in his leadership and service to the city.

Community Development Director Brad McIlrath presented proposed amendments to Kaysville
City Code Section 17-33, Sign Regulations, to comply with House Bill 33, adopted during the
5
Page 18 of 36

2026 Utah Legislative Session. He explained that the legislation amended Utah Code Section 20A17-103, requiring corresponding changes to the City's political sign regulations.
Mr. McIlrath reviewed the proposed amendments to Section 17-33-9, which would allow political
signs on private property and in park strips adjacent to private property, as permitted under state
law. The amendments would also relocate existing language requiring signs to be at least 10 feet
from a driveway. The existing sign size and height requirements would remain unchanged.
Mr. McIlrath reported that the Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 10, 2026,
during which no public comments were received. The Planning Commission voted unanimously,

DISCUSSION REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO PARKING CITATION
REGULATIONS AND FEES
City Attorney Nic Mills presented proposed amendments to the City's parking citation regulations
and consolidated fee schedule. He explained that staff had identified inconsistencies between the
procedures outlined on the City's website, in the City Code, and on parking citations. The proposed
amendments were intended to establish a consistent process for issuing, paying, and appealing
parking citations and align the consolidated fee schedule with those procedures.
Mr. Mills explained that the Police Department would continue issuing citations and forwarding
them to the Finance Department for processing. Under the proposed process, a representative of
the City Attorney's Office would serve as an internal hearing officer for appeals, with residents
also having the option of appearing before an administrative law judge to provide an additional
level of independent review.

6
Page 19 of 36

Council Member Blackham questioned whether the proposed amendments would increase citation
fees. Mr. Mills clarified that the maximum fine would remain $40, but the discounted amount for
citations paid within the first ten days would increase from $15 to $20.
Council Member McBride identified an ambiguity regarding the discount available on the tenth
day after a citation was issued. Mr. Mills clarified that the intended 50 percent discount would
apply through the close of business on the tenth day, with a 25 percent discount beginning on the
eleventh day. Council Member McBride suggested revising the language to clearly identify the
applicable payment periods, and Mr. Mills agreed.
Council Member Blackham also noted that the payment instructions incorrectly referenced
Kaysville.com rather than Kaysville.gov and requested that the address be corrected.

COUNCIL MEMBER REPORTS

Council Member Blackham asked how the City intended to respond to questions raised during the
public hearing regarding the proposed fire station general obligation bond.

D

City Manager Jaysen Christensen explained that staff had documented the questions and would
prepare additional information and responses. He encouraged attendees to provide their contact
information on the meeting sign-up sheet so the City could respond directly. He stated that
information would also be made available through the City's website and other communication
channels.
Mayor Tran reiterated that the City intended to provide consistent information to residents through
direct responses, updates to the fire station frequently asked questions webpage, and social media.
She acknowledged the significant financial impact of the proposed bond and emphasized the
importance of providing information to help residents make an informed decision.
Mayor Tran also addressed concerns regarding the City's previous financing of the police station
following an unsuccessful bond election. She stated that the Council did not intend to pursue
alternative financing to construct the proposed fire station if voters rejected the bond proposition.
7
Page 20 of 36

She explained that construction would not proceed under the current proposal if the bond failed,
although the need for an additional station could be revisited in future years.
Mayor Tran encouraged residents to review the City's newsletter and website for information
regarding upcoming community activities in October.
Council Member Adams thanked residents for attending and encouraged them to review
recordings of previous Council meetings and work sessions regarding the proposed fire station. He
explained that the Council had discussed the project extensively over several months, including
many of the questions and alternatives raised during the public hearing. These included
constructing a smaller ambulance or paramedic substation, reducing construction costs, evaluating
alternative locations, and considering fire service arrangements involving Farmington and Fruit
Heights.

T

Council Member Adams noted that the Council had also reviewed emergency response statistics
and that the Fire Chief had expressed concerns regarding response times that did not meet
established standards. He explained that, after considering the information and alternatives, the
Council had determined that the proposed bond should be presented to voters. He encouraged
residents to review the previous discussions and contact Council Members with questions.
Mayor Tran reiterated the Council's willingness to communicate with residents and encouraged
them to contact Council Members directly with questions or concerns. She noted that the bond
proposition was already on the November 3 ballot and that ballots had begun reaching voters living
outside the country. She emphasized the importance of residents reviewing the available
information, discussing the proposal with others, and participating in the election, regardless of
their position on the bond.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 15, 2026
TYPE OF ITEM: Action Item
PRESENTED BY: Nic Mills, City Attorney
SUBJECT/AGENDA TITLE: Approval of an Ordinance Amending the Parking Citation Appeals Process
and a Resolution Amending the Fiscal Year 2027 Consolidated Fee Schedule Related to Parking
Citations
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This item stems from recent issues with parking enforcement. First, city code, the consolidated fee
schedule, parking citations, and the city website conflict regarding the amount of parking fines.
Second, the city does not have a clear process for parking citation appeals. These issues have
contributed to inconsistent and ineffective parking enforcement. The attached amendments to the
parking ordinance and fee schedule are the first step to addressing these issues.
The proposed ordinance clarifies the process for contesting parking citations and the City's authority to
collect unpaid civil penalties. Specifically, the ordinance provides that a person contesting a parking
citation may submit a written appeal for review by a designated hearing officer. The ordinance also
clarifies the City's ability to pursue lawful collection of unpaid civil penalties, including the recovery of
reasonable costs of collection.
The proposed resolution amends the fee schedule to mirror the language of the parking ordinance.
Together, the proposed ordinance and resolution are intended to provide greater clarity regarding the
parking citation appeal process, establish a consistent administrative framework for civil penalties, and
ensure that the City's fee schedule accurately reflects the fees authorized by the ordinance.
Once these amendments are adopted, staff will make needed changes to the website and citations as
well as ensure that administrative processes are in place for appeals.
City Council Options:
Approve, table, or deny.
Staff Recommendation:
Approve
Fiscal Impact:
We anticipate that the amendments will have a positive fiscal impact by leading to more consistent

Page 27 of 36

and effective enforcement of parking violations.

SUBJECT/AGENDA TITLE: Award of a Contract to AJC Architects for Architectural Services for the
Library Renovation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
BACKGROUND
The City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to select an architectural firm to assist with the
future renovation and use of the Old Kaysville Library building.
The City received 15 Statements of Qualifications. A review committee evaluated each submission
based on the criteria included in the RFQ:
• Relevant Project Experience – 30%
• Project Team and Key Personnel – 25%
• Technical Approach and Methodology – 25%
• Public-Sector Experience and References – 15%
• Schedule and Availability – 5%
After the initial review, the 3 highest-ranked firms were invited to participate in interviews with City
staff and representatives. The interviews focused on the firm's project team, experience with existing
historic buildings, approach to the Old Library project, and design process.
Following the interviews and final evaluation, AJC Architects was selected as the preferred firm.
AJC ARCHITECTS
AJC demonstrated a strong understanding of the Old Kaysville Library project and the challenges
associated with working with an existing building. Their team has experience with public projects and
demonstrated an approach that will allow the City to evaluate the building, develop options, consider
costs, and work with the community as the project moves forward.
Staff also felt that AJC's team would be a good fit to work with City staff and the City Council
throughout the design process.
The final scope, fee, and schedule will be negotiated with AJC Architects following Council approval of
the selection.
