Council Department Report

TC Report August 12, 2026
Post Office
The mayors of Virgin, Rockville, and I had a conversation with three representatives of
the United States Postal Service (one in Washington, D.C., and two in Las Vegas) and a
representative of Congresswoman Maloy’s office. Our priority at this time is to help
Virgin get their post office back. Of course, the response is that the USPS is out of
money and can’t open any new post offices anywhere. Meanwhile, we’ve learned of
many cities and towns in the state of Utah that are in the same situation. Mayor Krause
of Virgin will lead the effort to continue the conversation.

Zion Regional Collaborative
ZRC no longer has enough funding to support a full-time coordinator position, and we
are looking for someone local that would be willing to work with us on an as-needed
basis. The Steering Committee has made a decision to expand the Committee to
non-funding entities in order to communicate on a wider basis. All invitees have
accepted the invitation, so we have a total of 12 Steering Committee members. New,
first-time members are Kane County and UDOT.

Housing and Land Use Advisory Committee
This committee has resumed its meeting schedule in order to work with legislators as
the 2027 Legislative Session approaches. The Moderate Income Housing Plans will
move to a second version, but we expect that municipalities under 5,000 residents will
remain exempt from filing the plan.

TRT Allocations
I requested and received a spreadsheet from the Greater Zion Visitor and Tourism
Office showing the amount of TRT generated in Washington County over the last ten
years. As you can see from the attached summary, Springdale is second in the amount
of money generated but is getting a much lower percentage back than most of the other
“top-generating” communities. I think we can agree that we are more impacted by
visitation than any other community in Washington County, and this will be good
information to have as we think about future TRT applications.

Washington County Mayors Association meeting
Toquerville hosted our monthly meeting and gave us an update on their city. They
currently have 800 residential units, and there are over 5,000 “entitled” to be built. They
estimate that the buildout will take 15 to 20 years.
We reviewed the TRT summary referenced above and had a lively discussion with the
two County Commissioners who attended the meeting. Shortly after, Tom Dansie had a
good discussion with Greater Zion and those two Commissioners about our needs.

Art Review Board Special Meeting
The board met to review a mural application for the Iceberg Restaurant. The application
was denied because the majority of board members felt it resembled a window
treatment or a sign rather than complying with mural parameters. The applicant will
work with town staff to determine the next steps.
Board members also provided comments in a work group session for the master plan.
Lisa offered to compile all comments received to date into a clean draft plan for further
review. Thank you to Jim Walshe for the significant time and effort he has put into the
draft plan.
Springdale Trails Public Engagement
Bike Utah consultants compiled and shared the comments received from the June open
house. They are now meeting with three stakeholder groups for further input, and the
online survey was sent out in July.
Two Cent Event
Tom did an excellent job facilitating the well-attended Two Cent event to seek resident
input on the best use for the two-acre parcel adjacent to Town Hall. The background
information he provided was very helpful for understanding prior Town Council
discussions and decisions. I look forward to reviewing the summarized resident
feedback.
River Park Expansion Project
Weekly project updates continue, including three-week outlooks. The temporary parking
for park access appears to be working well. Thank you to the resident who noted the
need for a dog waste garbage can, and thanks to Ryan and his staff for promptly
installing it. Jason Wheeler with ASSIST is doing an excellent job with contract
oversight. Significant progress is expected in August, including sidewalk installation,
landscaping, and restroom work.

Bingo
Thank you to Robyn for organizing this well-attended event that brought community
members and foreign visitors together. There were many prizes and excellent treats,
and I look forward to the next one.
Commemorative Plaque Update
Thank you to Louise Excell for providing draft language for a plaque recognizing the
joint effort of several town residents (including Nina Rodrequz) to establish the
tennis—now pickleball—courts. Once the review of the draft language is finalized, it will
be presented to the Town Council for final approval.

TC Report August 12, 2026
URC/ Community Clean Energy- We should be receiving a few more approved
communication assets for distribution in the next few weeks. We did receive updated
valuations and transmission studies for the projects that have made the short list. The
valuations are better than before, but the transmission costs are more costly so we are
looking into colocation which is battery storage. We are continuing to refine the opt out
notices and all of the different formats that customers will receive. Working with RMP to
refine how the $4 is used to meet administrative costs and project costs.
Community Health Coalition- We met in July. We reviewed some of the options that
are available through the 5 County AOG. Options for volunteering and receiving
services are available to county residents. We are working on ideas that will help
connect the community with resources. We took time to think through ideas for a grant
available from Get Healthy Utah. We will be submitting our ideas soon.
Messaging- We held a workshop that tried to answer three questions; Should the
project continue? How can we package the concept so that it is better understood by
the community? If we continue, what values should be represented?
There was a lot of great discussion, and we gathered quite a bit of information that we
are reviewing. We are scheduled to meet later in the month.
Community Development- our new staff members are coming up to speed, and doing
a great job of it. Eugenia is looking into grants for restoring the old jail.
I attended the 2 Cent event. I’m looking forward to hearing the ideas that residents
suggested.
YAZ- According to my daughter YAZ was a lot of fun this summer. Thanks Robyn for
planning activities for our canyon kids!

TC Report August 12, 2026
Utah League of Cities & Towns (ULCT)
ULCT conducted a member survey on fireworks law and implementation.
The Legislative Policy Committee (LPC) won’t re-convene until August.
Utah’s landmark legislation Senate Bill 284 requires all Utah cities with populations
over 5,000 to permit Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs) in single-family
residential zones. Cities have until October 2026 to update their zoning ordinances to
comply with the new code. The legislation sets a baseline for DADU approvals while
leaving specific development standards, such as minimum lot size, height, setbacks,
and parking, to local municipalities.

●​ Lot Requirements: Municipalities must allow DADUs on qualifying lots that are
at least 11,000 square feet.
●​ Unit Limits: Property owners are allowed a maximum of one ADU per lot (either
internal or detached), and the unit cannot be sold separately from the primary
home.
Emergency Management
I participated in Incident Command System training with Town staff and helped initiate
and coordinate the training. Jason Bradley, Director of Emergency Management for
Washington County, presented the training. A tabletop exercise is planned for
September.

BOARD MEMBER NEWSLETTER

Summer is in full swing, and our crews continue to stay busy monitoring mosquito activity,
responding to service requests, and treating breeding sources throughout Washington County. As
many residents enjoy vacations, backyard barbecues, camping trips, and evenings outdoors, we're
working hard to help keep those activities as mosquito-free as possible. Here are a few highlights
from this month.

MOSQUITO SURVEILLANCE REPORT
Here are the trap numbers through July 14, 2026:
Collections (adults):
-Total mosquitoes collected year-to-date- 9452 mosquitoes
-Comparison to last year- 13168 mosquitoes
Testing:
-Total vials tested year-to-date- 256
-Comparison from last year- 253
-Positive West Nile Virus (WNV) pools to date- 2 (trap date: 7/14/2026)
- Comparison to last year- 0
-Positive St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE) pools to date- 0
-Comparison to last year- 0
Service Calls:
-Total service calls to date: 173
-Comparison to last year: 41

BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS

MONSOON SEASON

We recently finished building a new kitchen area
in the shop, giving employees a convenient place
to take breaks without having to use the lab
kitchen. The new space includes a sink,
refrigerator, ice machine, cabinets, and countertop
space, making it much more functional for
everyday use. It's a simple improvement that helps
keep the lab dedicated to lab work while giving
staff a comfortable place to prepare meals and
enjoy their breaks.

As we move into monsoon season in
Southern Utah, even small amounts of rainfall
can create new mosquito breeding sites.
Temporary water that collects in yards,
irrigation areas, or outdoor containers can
become a place for mosquitoes to lay eggs.
After a storm, take a few minutes to check
around your home and remove any standing
water before mosquitoes have a chance to
develop.

WELCOME TO THE TEAM
We are excited to welcome Shane Mathis, Christopher Cheney, and Sonny Bounds to Southwest
Mosquito Abatement & Control District. They have joined our field operations and Aedes aegypti
response teams, helping us increase coverage, monitor mosquito activity, and continue providing
timely service throughout Washington County.
We are grateful to have them on board and look forward to the work they will do to support our
mission.

BEHIND THE SCENES:
AFTER YOU REPORT
MOSQUITOES
When we receive a service request, a Mosquito
Surveillance Technician will inspect the area
to locate mosquito breeding sources. They will
begin at the requester’s property and, if
needed, check surrounding areas until the
source is found. Mosquitoes can develop in
very small amounts of standing water, such as
flower pot bases, forgotten blow-up pools, or
neighborhood storm drains.
Once a source is identified, it will be
eliminated when possible by removing the
standing water or treated with a larvicide to
prevent mosquitoes from developing into
adults.
Our goal is to respond to service requests the
same business day they are received. However,
requests submitted later in the day or during
periods of high activity may be addressed the
following business day.
To report mosquito activity, call our office at
435-627-0076 or submit a request through
www.swmosquito.org. Every report helps us
identify problem areas and better protect our
community.

COMMUNICATIONS
CORNER
Our next Board Meeting will be held on August
13, 2026, at 4:00 PM at the District office.
Supporting documents for the meeting will be
sent approximately one week prior, along with the
Google Meet link for those who would like to
attend virtually.
As summer continues, we hope you have plenty of
opportunities to enjoy the outdoors with family
and friends. Please continue to help reduce
mosquito populations by eliminating standing
water around your home and reporting areas of
increased mosquito activity.
Fun Fact: It is said that mosquitoes have been
around for more than 100 million years — they
survived the dinosaurs, but they still can’t survive a
good source reduction program!

Fire Board
●​ In our 6/11/26 meeting we passed a resolution for $22 million to build 5 new fire
stations in the future. During our 7/9/26 meeting we held a public meeting to get
input from the public about the resolution passed in June. There were no public
in attendance, and we received no public input in writing prior to the meeting.
We then voted to proceed with the issuance of not more than $22 million of
Lease Revenue Bonds.
Community Renewable Energy Agency
●​ Our communication committee is working on a flyer to send out to RMP
customers explaining the opt out notice and the cost of the program. This flyer
will have to be approved by RMP before we send it out.
●​ I want to again clarify that the program we have set up is called the Community
Clean Energy Program (because the state legislature wants this to be the name).
The organization of the 16 communities in this program is called the Utah
Renewable Communities (URC).
●​ As mandated by the state, schedule 135 residential customers (roof top solar)
are not eligible to be part of this program. However, schedule 135 commercial
customers are eligible to participate in the program.
●​ Our program will be labeled schedule 100. RMP will be filing schedule 100 with
the PSC (Public Service Commission) early this month so that RMP can start
sending opt out notices in November of this year.

​Memorandum​
T​ o:​
​Town Council​
​From:​ ​Niall Connolly, Director of Community Development​
​Date:​ ​August 7th, 2026​
​Re:​
​Request from Craig Neal for an easement across Town property​

​Introduction​
​ r. Craig Neal is the owner of the property at 117 Quail Ridge Road (parcel number S-161-A-5). The​
M
​Town of Springdale owns the parcel of land immediately to the east and south (parcel number​
​S-161-A-1-C). Mr. Neal’s property is separated from the road by a band of land owned by the Town. This​
​is shown in the aerial view below:​

​Figure 1. Aerial view of the property​

​ r. Neal is requesting an easement from the Town, across the Town’s property, to enable him to build a​
M
​driveway to his property.​
​Why does his property not have proper frontage to Quail Ridge Road ?​
​ uail Ridge Road is defined in the Code as a “historic access” (see section 10-25-10(K) of the Town​
Q
​Code). The Code says the following about historic accesses:​

I​n situations where there has been historical access to properties that function as private lanes, but the access​
​has not officially been designated as a private lane, the historical access shall have all the rights and privileges​
​enjoyed by private lanes. Existing parcels which have been accessed by historical accesses prior to the​
​adoption date hereof shall not be denied a building permit based solely on noncompliance with access or​
​frontage requirements. Existing "historical accesses" are: Valley View Drive, Kinesava Drive, Dixie Lane, Eagle​
​Lane, Steamboat Lane, Quail Ridge Road, Apple Lane, Dillyholler Drive, Sage Lane, Sundance Lane, West​
​Temple Drive, Paradise Road, Elm Street, Kokopelli Drive, Big Springs Road, Wilkins Lane. No extensions of any​
​historical access will be permitted unless the historical access is improved to meet the minimum standards of​
​this chapter.​

​ ather than being within its own parcel, Quail Ridge Road simply exists as an easement across the​
R
​various properties. This is shown in the screen shot below, which is taken from the Town’s GIS map.​
​Many of the properties on Quail Ridge Road have unusual access. This may be partially due to historic​
​surveying errors.​

​Figure 2. Property Lines​

​The Town’s Parcel​
T​ he Town of Springdale owns the parcel of land immediately to the east of Mr. Neal’s property. The​
​property was donated to the Town some years ago. Due to its extreme slopes, it is unlikely that it will​
​ever be developed. Mr. Neal’s property however has more favorable topography and it would be possible​
​to build a home there. The Town property is an unusual shape, and it is possible that the curved portion​
​immediately to the south of Mr. Neal’s property was intended to follow the line of the road, but was​
​incorrectly surveyed. Whatever the reason, there is a gap between Quail Ridge Road and Mr. Neal’s​
​property, and the Town owns that land. At its widest point, this gap is about 35 ft.​

​Figure 3. Gap between Quail Ridge Road and Mr. Neal’s property​

E​ asement Request​
​Mr. Neal has provided a survey with an overlaid diagram showing the easement he is requesting. He is​
​requesting easements in two locations. These are shown in Figure 4 below.​

​Figure 4. Requested easements shown in blue and pink​

T​ he main access easement (entrance) requested is 24ft - 27ft wide. This is shown in the diagram in blue.​
​Mr. Neal also proposes a secondary access as an exit. This is shown in the diagram in green and pink. The​
​green portion is all within Mr. Neal’s property boundaries. The pink portion is also mostly within his​
​property boundary. A small portion measuring about 2 sq ft, which is on the Town’s property, is needed​

t​ o complete this exit. Mr. Neal requests an access easement from the Town to build his proposed​
​driveways.​

Memorandum

Town Council
From:​ ​
Thomas Dansie, Town Manager
Date:​ ​

Re:​
​
Resolution 2026-09: Fee Schedule Revisions
The Town charges fees for various services. The proposed Resolution 2026-09 revises a number of these
fees, as summarized below.
Fee Increases Based on Inflation / Increased Town Costs to Provide Service
The fees the Town charges for administrative services are designed to cover a portion of the
costs of providing services, while also making the service accessible to the community. The Town
has historically charged fees for administrative services which are far less than the actual cost of
the service. Fees are established to prioritize accessibility of the service over revenue generation.
While recognizing the above, many fees for services have not been adjusted for a number of
years. In particular, business license fees and community development application fees have not
been adjusted for ten years or more.
The proposed fee schedule resolution increases a number of administrative fees based on the
increased cost to the Town to provide these services. These fees are still well below the actual
cost of providing the service.
Fee Increased Based on Increased Cost of Pass Through Charges
A number of the fees the Town charges are pass through costs for parts and equipment the Town
provides to residents and businesses (e.g. water meters and sewer grinder pumps). The cost of
these parts and equipment is constantly increasing. The proposed fee schedule updates the
amount the Town charges for these parts and equipment to reflect current actual costs.
Inclusion of Parks and Recreation Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges rental fees for Town facilities (Gazebo and Field
rentals, CCC rentals, etc.). The fees for these rentals are in the CCC policies, but are not currently
in the fee schedule. The proposed resolution includes these fees in the fee schedule.
Fees Based on Agreement with Canyon Springs Subdivision
Through an Agreement with the Canyon Springs Subdivision, the Town maintains sewer grinder
pumps located at homes in the subdivision. The Agreement states the Town will charge a
maintenance fee for this service. The fee is updated every five years and is based on the actual
costs of sewer grinder maintenance in the subdivision. The proposed resolution includes a five
year update of these fees.

All of the fee changes described above are included in the attached proposed updated fee schedule. I
have provided a red-line copy of the current fee schedule that shows the changes, as well as a clean copy
for the Council’s potential adoption as part of Resolution 2026-09.
Council Action
The Council should review the proposed fee changes in the red-lined copy of the fee schedule. If the
Council supports these fee changes, the Council should adopt Resolution 2026-09.

SECTION B. WATER & SEWER RATES ADJUSTMENTS
1. In order to obtain an adjustment to the water and sewer charges incurred in the event of an
aboveground water leak on the property owner’s side of the meter, the following conditions
must be met:
a. The Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee must review and
inspect the leak before any repair is made, or sufficient evidence must be
provided to the Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee to
document the cause and nature of the leak.
b. The Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee must determine that
the leak resulted from a major failure of the water system such as a broken pipe or
valve as opposed to a condition or situation that the property owner was or should
have been aware of such as a tap or hose left running, running toilet, leaking taps,
leaking swamp cooler, known and unrepaired leaks, irrigation usage, etc.
c. The Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee must see evidence of
the repair of the leak.
d. The amount of water used on the utility bill (water used and water lost due to the
leak) must be equal to or greater than twice the historical usage on the property for
the same month in the previous year. If the property has had utility service for less
than one year, the Town Manager and Town Treasurer shall estimate the usage
based on the nearest month in the same season.
e. No adjustments shall be made for water used for irrigation purposes.
If the above conditions are met, the Utility Superintendent or Town Manager will instruct the
Town Treasurer to make an adjustment to the utility account. The water and sewer rate will be
adjusted according to paragraph 3 below. Rate adjustments will be applied only if the property
owner is diligent in fixing the leak within three days of its detection. If diligence is not shown
within three days, a Waste of Water penalty of $50 per day will be assessed each following day
until the Superintendent is satisfied the repair is completed, and additional penalties as outlined
in Section 8.1.16.B may apply. Repair costs are the responsibility of the property owner.

2. In order to obtain an adjustment to the water and sewer charges incurred in the event of an
underground water leak on the property owner’s side of the meter, the following conditions
must be met:
a. The Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee must review and
inspect the leak before any repair is made, or sufficient evidence must be
provided to the Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee to
document the cause and nature of the leak.

SECTION B. WATER & SEWER RATES ADJUSTMENTS, CONT.
b. The Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee must determine that
the leak resulted from a failure of the water system as opposed to a deliberate
waste of water, a condition or situation that the property owner was or should have
been aware of, or an aboveground leak as described in paragraph 1 above.
c. The Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee must see evidence of
the repair of the leak.
If the above conditions are met, the Utility Superintendent or Town Manager will instruct the
Town Treasurer to make an adjustment to the utility account. The water and sewer rate will be
adjusted according to paragraph 3 below. Rate adjustments will be applied only if the property
owner is diligent in fixing the leak within five days of its detection. If diligence is not shown
within five days, a Waste of Water penalty of $50 per day will be assessed each following day
until the Utility Superintendent is satisfied the repair is completed, and additional penalties as
outlined in Section 8.1.16.B may apply. Repair costs are the responsibility of the property owner.
3. Adjustments shall be based on the amount of the meter readings for the same month a year
prior. The water user will pay the current rate for the amount of water and sewer as the prior
year’s reading plus ½ of the current lowest usage rate for all additional water resulting from the
leak. If the property has had utility service for less than one year, the Town Manager and Town
Treasurer shall estimate the usage based on the nearest month in the same season.
4. In order to obtain an adjustment to the sewer charges incurred on the filling of a swimming
pool, 1) the owner must provide sufficient proof to the Utility Superintendent that the pool
doesn’t drain to the sewer, and 2) the owner must contact the Utility Superintendent before
filling the pool and when the pool is full, so the water used to fill the pool can be metered. The
Utility Superintendent will provide the meter readings to the Town Treasurer. Only the amount
of water used for filling the pool will be adjusted from the sewer fees; there will be no
adjustment to the water charges. If this procedure is not followed, or if the pool is found to
drain into the sewer system, there will be no adjustment to the sewer charges.

SECTION C. WATER LOSS
Loss of Water – Private Unmetered Fire Service Connections
Fire service connections or fire sprinkler connections are generally private unmetered connections to
the Town’s culinary water system that provide support during fire emergencies. Due to line size, breaks
or other failure in these lines has the potential to result in the loss of hundreds of thousands of gallons
of treated culinary water.

When a break in a private, unmetered fire service connection or line results in the loss of water, the
property owner responsible for the private fire sprinkler connection/line will be billed for the value of
the water lost due to the break based on the cost to produce water, currently $5.61 per 1000 gallons
according to the Town Engineer.

Water loss will be estimated by the Town Public Works Department based on documented tank levels
before and after the break or leak is reported.

SECTION B. WATER & SEWER RATES ADJUSTMENTS
1. In order to obtain an adjustment to the water and sewer charges incurred in the event of an
aboveground water leak on the property owner’s side of the meter, the following conditions
must be met:
a. The Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee must review and
inspect the leak before any repair is made, or sufficient evidence must be
provided to the Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee to
document the cause and nature of the leak.
b. The Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee must determine that
the leak resulted from a major failure of the water system such as a broken pipe or
valve as opposed to a condition or situation that the property owner was or should
have been aware of such as a tap or hose left running, running toilet, leaking taps,
leaking swamp cooler, known and unrepaired leaks, irrigation usage, etc.
c. The Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee must see evidence of
the repair of the leak.
d. The amount of water used on the utility bill (water used and water lost due to the
leak) must be equal to or greater than twice the historical usage on the property for
the same month in the previous year. If the property has had utility service for less
than one year, the Town Manager and Town Treasurer shall estimate the usage
based on the nearest month in the same season.
e. No adjustments shall be made for water used for irrigation purposes.
If the above conditions are met, the Utility Superintendent or Town Manager will instruct the
Town Treasurer to make an adjustment to the utility account. The water and sewer rate will be
adjusted according to paragraph 3 below. Rate adjustments will be applied only if the property
owner is diligent in fixing the leak within three days of its detection. If diligence is not shown
within three days, a Waste of Water penalty of $50 per day will be assessed each following day
until the Superintendent is satisfied the repair is completed, and additional penalties as outlined
in Section 8.1.16.B may apply. Repair costs are the responsibility of the property owner.

2. In order to obtain an adjustment to the water and sewer charges incurred in the event of an
underground water leak on the property owner’s side of the meter, the following conditions
must be met:
a. The Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee must review and
inspect the leak before any repair is made, or sufficient evidence must be
provided to the Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee to
document the cause and nature of the leak.

SECTION B. WATER & SEWER RATES ADJUSTMENTS, CONT.
b. The Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee must determine that
the leak resulted from a failure of the water system as opposed to a deliberate
waste of water, a condition or situation that the property owner was or should have
been aware of, or an aboveground leak as described in paragraph 1 above.
c. The Utility Superintendent, Town Manager or their designee must see evidence of
the repair of the leak.
If the above conditions are met, the Utility Superintendent or Town Manager will instruct the
Town Treasurer to make an adjustment to the utility account. The water and sewer rate will be
adjusted according to paragraph 3 below. Rate adjustments will be applied only if the property
owner is diligent in fixing the leak within five days of its detection. If diligence is not shown
within five days, a Waste of Water penalty of $50 per day will be assessed each following day
until the Utility Superintendent is satisfied the repair is completed, and additional penalties as
outlined in Section 8.1.16.B may apply. Repair costs are the responsibility of the property owner.
3. Adjustments shall be based on the amount of the meter readings for the same month a year
prior. The water user will pay the current rate for the amount of water and sewer as the prior
year’s reading plus ½ of the current lowest usage rate for all additional water resulting from the
leak. If the property has had utility service for less than one year, the Town Manager and Town
Treasurer shall estimate the usage based on the nearest month in the same season.
4. In order to obtain an adjustment to the sewer charges incurred on the filling of a swimming
pool, 1) the owner must provide sufficient proof to the Utility Superintendent that the pool
doesn’t drain to the sewer, and 2) the owner must contact the Utility Superintendent before
filling the pool and when the pool is full, so the water used to fill the pool can be metered. The
Utility Superintendent will provide the meter readings to the Town Treasurer. Only the amount
of water used for filling the pool will be adjusted from the sewer fees; there will be no
adjustment to the water charges. If this procedure is not followed, or if the pool is found to
drain into the sewer system, there will be no adjustment to the sewer charges.

SECTION C. WATER LOSS
Loss of Water – Private Unmetered Fire Service Connections
Fire service connections or fire sprinkler connections are generally private unmetered connections to
the Town’s culinary water system that provide support during fire emergencies. Due to line size, breaks
or other failure in these lines has the potential to result in the loss of hundreds of thousands of gallons
of treated culinary water.

When a break in a private, unmetered fire service connection or line results in the loss of water, the
property owner responsible for the private fire sprinkler connection/line will be billed for the value of
the water lost due to the break based on the cost to produce water, currently $5.61 per 1000 gallons
according to the Town Engineer.

Water loss will be estimated by the Town Public Works Department based on documented tank levels
before and after the break or leak is reported.

2026 RAP Tax Allocation Application: Zion Canyon Art Festival
Executive Summary
In the May meeting the Council reviewed two applications for RAP Tax funding. The Council approved
one (an award to Z-Arts for $15,000). The Council tabled the review of the other (a request for $5,000
for the Zion Canyon Arts Festival) because the applicant was unavailable to answer questions at the
meeting.
The Zion Canyon Arts Festival Applicant, Adrienne Gates, will be attending the July meeting to present
the request. The Council should determine whether or not to grant the request after hearing the
applicant’s presentation.
Background
The Council has adopted a policy governing the use of the Town’s RAP Tax. This policy allows the Town
to use RAP Tax for its own recreational and cultural projects and programming. It also allows cultural
organizations to apply for RAP Tax funding for their programing and projects. A copy of the RAP Tax use
policy is available in this link.
The Town received two applications from cultural organizations to use RAP tax in FY 26-27:
●
●

Z-Arts for several ongoing programs (request for $15,000).
Zion Canyon Art Festival for an inaugural event (request for $5,000).

The Council approved the Z-Arts request in a previous meeting. The Council will be reviewing the Zion
Canyon Arts Festival request in the current meeting.
Zion Canyon Art Festival
Adrienne Gates is requesting $5,000 in funding for the inaugural Zion Canyon Art Festival. This event is
planned for Saturday, October 10. The Festival’s stated goal is to “establish an annual cultural tradition
that celebrates artists, strengthens Springdale's creative identity, encourages sustainable tourism, and
supports the local economy through collaboration with businesses, nonprofits, and community
partners.”
The Festival was originally anticipated to use the OC Tanner Amphitheater as the primary venue, with
other activities in conjunction with participating local businesses. The event planning has evolved. Now

there is no central venue. Rather the event will be a free flowing event between a number of
participating businesses in the community.
The applicant has included a proposed budget detailing how the requested $5,000 will be spent.
As this is the inaugural event, the applicant has not received RAP Tax funding from the Town in the past.
Council Action
The Council should determine whether or not to fund the proposed RAP tax applications for the Zion
Canyon Art Festival for an inaugural event (request for $5,000).
If the Council approves the application, staff will prepare a RAP tax funding agreement with the
applicant.

across participating locations while reducing future event costs
Reusable Streetscape Banner Program — $800
Production of durable, reusable street banners to identify the festival throughout Springdale and establish a recognizable annual cultural event
Festival Coordination & Implementation — $800
Project coordination, volunteer organization, website updates, print management, artist communication, installation logistics, and administrative support
necessary for successful implementation of the inaugural festival.
_____________________________________________________________________

Featured Festival Posters
Each year, the Zion Canyon Art Festival will commission an original poster from a featured artist, creating a signature work that reflects the spirit and
landscape of Zion Canyon The inaugural festival will feature an original commission by acclaimed artist Jeremy Collins
The annual poster is intended to become a collectible tradition that celebrates the festival while showcasing exceptional artistic talent. Limited-edition prints
may be offered through participating businesses and with festival partners, creating additional opportunities to support artists, encourage visitor engagement,
and contribute to the festival's long-term sustainability.
By commissioning a new artist each year, the festival will build an enduring collection of original artwork that documents the evolving story of Springdale and
the Zion Canyon Art Festival.

Business Participation
The Zion Canyon Art Festival is designed as a collaborative, gallery-centered event that encourages visitors to explore Springdale while supporting local
businesses, restaurants, retailers, lodging properties, and community organizations
Participation is intentionally flexible, allowing each business to tailor its involvement based on its space, staffing, and interests. Businesses may choose to host
visual art e hibitions, live music, artist demonstrations, workshops, film screenings, or other creative e periences Others may participate through special
menu offerings, poster sales, extended hours, sidewalk displays, or by featuring local artists within their existing spaces.
By distributing festival activities throughout Springdale, the event encourages visitors to spend more time walking the town's corridor, discovering participating
businesses, and experiencing the community beyond a single event venue. This model helps increase foot traffic, supports local commerce, and creates a
festival e perience that reflects the unique character of Springdale Information available on the event website ZIONCANYONARTFESTIVAL COM

Community & Partnerships
The Zion Canyon Art Festival is intended to complement and strengthen the work of e isting arts, cultural, educational, and community organizations
throughout Springdale. Potential partners include Z-Arts, Arts to Zion, Zion Canyon Mesa, the Zion Forever Project, Springdale Elementary, the Springdale
Historic Preservation Commission, and other local organizations whose missions align with the festival
The festival will also celebrate Springdale's existing artistic and cultural assets by highlighting public art, murals, mosaics, galleries, and other creative spaces
throughout the community
Initial conversations have already begun with several community stakeholders, including Zion Canyon Mesa, local gallery owners, and Kathy LaFave of
Worthington Gallery All of them are participating and looking forward to the festival Additional partnerships will continue to be developed as planning
progresses, and letters of support or participation can be provided upon request.
Participating businesses, artists, sponsors, and community organizations will be recognized on the festival website and included in printed and digital festival
maps, schedules, and promotional materials.

Festival Structure & Visitor Flow
The Zion Canyon Art Festival is designed as a pedestrian-focused art walk that activates businesses, galleries, and public spaces throughout Springdale
rather than concentrating activity in a single venue This distributed model encourages visitors to e plore the community on foot, discover local businesses,
and experience the town at a comfortable pace while minimizing congestion, parking demand, and infrastructure impacts.
The event website outlines and links directly to Springdale's parking information, as well as encouraging car pooling, taking public transportation and utilizing
bikes and the shuttle to relieve congestion in the canyon We will be seeking all of the appropriate permits as variables are finalized
Festival activities will be connected through printed maps in selected locations, with an eco-friendly focus on digital guides, QR-based wayfinding, and
Springdale's e isting pedestrian network By utilizing established public spaces and business locations, the festival can grow incrementally while remaining
flexible and responsive to the community's needs.
This approach also reflects the spirit of Springdale's earlier community art walks, building on a tradition of celebrating local artists and businesses while
creating a sustainable model for future growth. Participating venues featuring live music or performances will be encouraged to maintain sound levels that
complement Springdale's small town atmosphere and comply with local regulations

2.1 RULES OF ORDER
•​ All members of the public attending the meeting are requested to sign the attendance
record. Those members of the public who intend to address the public body at any point

meeting in these rules of order and on the meeting agenda.
•​ Community members may make comments during the public participation part of the meeting.
To ensure the meeting runs effectively, only comments (not questions) are allowed in the public
