TC Report September 9, 2026
Homelessness Mitigation Task Force
I traveled to Salt Lake City to attend the bi-weekly meeting of this committee. Erin Mendenhall,
the Mayor of SLC, is the chair of the group. Other members are the mayors of Bountiful, Orem,
South Salt Lake, Tooele, and Ogden.
We’re not necessarily tasked with proposing a change to the amount of sales tax allocated to
the fund by cities and towns, but we’re looking at the formula for reimbursement of shelter cities.
Meetings will be held every two weeks until the 2027 legislative session.
LPC Housing and Land Use Advisory Subgroup
As always, Utah has some of the smallest lot sizes and largest homes in the country. This is
counter to our desire to build more affordable housing.
Utah may start a pilot program that explores using AI for processing plan reviews, permits, etc.
This is intended to help planners, not replace planners.
One of the biggest issues in the upcoming session will be impact fees. It’s going to get “spicy.”
Zion Regional Collaborative Quarterly Workshop
Our quarterly workshop was held in Cedar City at the Visitor Bureau building. Items of interest
are as follows:
Sheep Bridge Road is still scheduled to be paved this fall.
Washington County will contract with St. George shuttle to run shuttles from St. George on
Labor Day weekend. The usual Suntran buses don’t run on Sundays and holidays.
There have been more than 60 bike crashes that needed medical attention at Zion National
Park this year (compared to 50 all year last year).
Virgin is getting a new electrical substation and improving their BMX track. The Kolob Terrace
Road will be repaired once those projects are completed.
Dixie Transportation Executive Committee (DTEC)
Washington City has approved an inland port project, primarily because it comes with funding
for the Purgatory Bridge that will connect Washington with Hurricane.
Healthy Utah
I’ve been invited to participate in the Get Healthy Utah annual event in Salt Lake City on
September 16. I will be a keynote panelist in the final session along with mayors of other (large)
cities. I will specifically be discussing how we welcome visitors from around the world while
remaining home to a small community. I have a Mitigation Task Force meeting in Salt Lake City
on September 17, so this worked out well from a timing perspective.
O. C. Tanner Amphitheater
Tom Dansie and I met with three executives from Utah Tech University to discuss the future of
the Amphitheater. They have completed a feasibility study, which determined that the cost to
bring the theater up to par is $34 million. No decisions have been made at this time.
Housing Committee
The projects at Trapper Circle and Redhawk are moving forward, and construction could begin
as soon as late Fall.
Zion National Park was successful in getting grants for housing in the Park. The projects will
take about two years and will include approximately nine new housing units for their employees
at Watchman and another on the east side of the Park.
Zion Forever Project is looking at properties along SR-9 for locations for employee housing.
Mayors Association of Washington County
Our September 1 meeting was held at Purgatory Correctional Facility, where we enjoyed a K-9
presentation, SWAT demonstration, jail tour, and drug task force presentation. A few fun facts:
Washington County has the only cadaver dog in the State of Utah, and they also have two K-9
officers.
They have about 25 ICE inmates a day coming through; they’re usually deported within a week.
They are the only 287-G agency in the County.
They only have two cameras in the county (Motorola), both on highway 91. They are not using
them for random license plate recognition.
Their annual budget this year is $36 million.
The jail capacity is 550-600 inmates.
Zion Canyon Visitor Bureau
Greater Zion is sponsoring a training session in Springdale for employees of our hospitality
businesses; the training will focus on providing excellent customer service.
The occupancy rate for hotels in Springdale in July was 67.5%, up two percent from last year
Average daily rate for a hotel room in Springdale in July was $228.
Zion National Park visitation was down one percent through July of this year.
Suntrans Zion ridership is up 17 percent this year.
The County is providing free transportation to ZNP on Labor Day; the SunTran buses don’t run
on holidays.

River Park Expansion Project
Progress continues, though we lost a couple of days due to weather conditions. Sidewalks
have been poured along with other paths delineated. A number of trees and shrubs have been
planted with more to come. The restroom has been painted - I like the new color! - and a new
asphalt roof installed. Jason with ASSIST continues to do a good job keeping the contractor on
schedule.
Art Review Board (ARB) Meeting and Budget Discussion
We had an excellent meeting with board members to continue discussions on the Springdale
Draft Master Art Plan. Topics covered included:
- process used for a call for public art
- should we consider a loan program for public art
- review criteria
- community input
- maintenance of public art
- funding opportunities
- etc
I later met with the Mayor and town staff to discuss the need for a line item budget for the ARB
and explore other potential funding sources to purchase public art. This will be further
discussed with the Council later this year during preliminary budget planning. ARB members
have raised the need for a budget during several meeting discussions. This would put the town
in a better position to move forward with purchasing public art resulting from a call for
applications.(
AED at the Pickleball Courts
Ryan is working on logistics to install an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) at the Pickleball
courts. The AED unit has been delivered so the next step is installation. He plans to hold a
community AED/CPR training later this year so stay tuned.

URC/ Clean Communities- Our regular board meeting will be later in the month because of
Labor Day. I will attend a communications meeting between the writing of this report and our
council meeting. Our program design committee has been working on the same content
concerning project bids, noticing requirements, and fund management administrative vs project
cost. RMP has signed the utility agreement that was also signed by all of the committed
communities.
Community Development- New FEMA Flood maps have been published. A copy is held at the
Town office, and an email has gone out to the community. Outdoor lighting will be audited for
dark sky compliance. Plans for preserving the jail are continuing with structural analysis and
eventually landscaping and signage. The first grant application was not selected for this project,
but Eugenia has plans for other grant opportunities. The USU wellbeing survey results are in
and have been shared. Dr. Flint will present later in the month.
Housing- Both the Trapper Circle and Red Hawk Drive projects are moving forward. We
welcomed two new members to the group from planning commission and ZNP. Zion Forever
has received grant funding for a new housing project in the Watchmen housing area and a
remodel of an older structure near the East entrance.
Community Health Coalition- I workd with Ryan on a grant to improve social connection
through Get Healthy Utah. Unfortunately our application was not selected this round.
Messaging- We reviewed the input from our workshop. The feedback was supportive of the
project moving forward. We may have an opportunity to have a USU student work on ideas for
our project, but that is TBD. We will be working on a more defined mission statement and scope
and sequence for the entire project as we consider bringing more stakeholders into the project.

Emergency Management
The tabletop disaster response exercise scheduled for September 3rd was postponed while
Town staff focus on cleanup following the August 31st flooding event. Our timing was off by just
three days—but the real event offered a practical reminder of why this training matters. We’ll
reschedule the exercise soon.
Utah League of Cities and Towns - Legislative Policy Committee meeting: Aug-24
The central message was that the coming legislative session is likely to be unusually
volatile—particularly on property taxes, housing and land use, water, public safety technology,
and local authority—and that municipal officials should begin direct conversations with
legislators now. ULCT staff urged cities and towns to reinforce a consistent policy message:
partnership rather than state preemption, with respect for local decision-making, collaboration,
and measurable outcomes.
ULCT expects several difficult property-tax proposals considered in the prior session to return in
2027, including proposals that would cap increases, require voter approval, or resemble
Colorado-style taxpayer bill-of-rights restrictions.
Housing was the most extensive policy discussion. Staff described continued pressure from
state leaders to produce smaller, owner-occupied, more affordable housing, with increasing risk
that the Legislature may preempt local land-use decisions.
HOAs: The state HOA ombudsman is gathering stakeholder input amid concern about the
growing number of associations. Separate legislation may propose that local governments
assume responsibility for certain HOA infrastructure.
Fireworks and wildfire: For July 4, 213 of Utah’s 257 cities and towns—roughly 83%—used
the Governor’s statewide ban in full. In ULCT’s surveys, 69% of responding jurisdictions said
they saw fewer fire starts around July 4 than they had historically.
License Plate Readers
ULCT expects legislation on automated license-plate readers, commonly called Flock cameras,
or on broader government collection and use of similar data.
Southwest Mosquito Abatement and Control District
SMACD expenditures through June totaled approximately 43.7% of its annual budget, below the
expected midyear level of 50%. The Board reviewed and updated its annual Pesticide
Discharge Management Plan, including staffing changes, the Aedes aegypti program, and
current larval-control products.
Mosquito activity increased rapidly following recent rainfall, and West Nile virus has been
detected in several areas of the District, with the highest concentration in portions of St. George.
In response, crews have increased trapping, testing, treatment, and fogging. Residents are
encouraged to eliminate standing water, protect themselves from mosquito bites, and ensure
horses are vaccinated against West Nile virus.
The District continues door-to-door inspections and public education in neighborhoods affected
by Aedes aegypti. It is also developing a GIS storm-drain mapping system to improve treatment
tracking, as storm drains have been a significant mosquito source this year.
The Board also completed its annual Open and Public Meetings Act training and approved the
transfer of two surplus backpack sprayers to the Paiute Shivwits Band for its mosquito-control
program. The Utah Mosquito Abatement Association Conference is scheduled for October
26–28, and the District’s next meeting will be November 12, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.

Re:
Resolution 2026-11: Amending the FY2026-27 Budget
Executive Summary
The Council adopted the FY2026-27 budget in June of this year. For various reasons as explained in this
report it is now necessary to amend the budget. Staff has prepared a proposed budget amendment that
adjusts both revenues and expenditures based on circumstances that have arisen since the budget was
approved in June.
State law requires the Council to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget amendment. The Council
should hold a public hearing and deliberate on the merits of the proposed amendment. If the Council
wishes to adopt the amendment then the Council should adopt Resolution 2026-11 to formally make the
changes to the budget.
Summary of Proposed Changes to the Budget
The proposed amendment makes the following changes to the budget.
Police JAG Grant
The Police Department has been awarded a JAG Grant. This grant will allow additional expenditures from
the Equipment Supplies and Maintenance line in the Public Safety account (10-56-250). The additional
revenue from the JAG grant and the additional expenditures in 10-56-250 offset each other. So there is
no impact on other currently budgeted revenue sources.
Police Vests
Each Officer in the Police Department is issued a protective vest. This is vital safety equipment for each
officer. These vests have a predetermined time of duty. The Department’s vests have exceeded this time
of duty and need to be retired. A new expense of $13,500 is proposed in 10-56-265 for these vests.
Revenue to offset this expense comes from the fund balance.
Public Works Radios
The Town has experienced two episodes of significant flooding in the last month. In each of these
incidents the Public Works and Parks crews have mobilized immediately to mitigate flooding impacts. As
the Town debriefed the response to these two incidents one of the biggest areas for improvement we
identified is internal communication among Public Works and Parks field staff responding to the incident.
Currently the Public Works and Parks crews use a combination of cell phone and handheld hobby radios
for communication. Cell phones are problematic because they do not allow group communication and
are cumbersome to operate in an emergency. Hobby radios have a very limited range and do not allow
communication between crew members who are not within line of site. To solve these problems staff
proposes purchasing an inventory of professional grade radios with a dedicated Springdale channel
supported by a repeater system that allows communication over greater distances. The total cost of
these radios (including the radio units and annual subscription to the repeater service) is $10,626. The
proposed amendment includes expenses for the radios in four accounts (streets, water, sewer,
irrigation). The streets portion of the expense ($2,665) is offset by fund balance. The other three
accounts (water, sewer, irrigation) show these as enterprise fund expenses.
CCC AV Repairs
The AV system in the Canyon Community Center has consistently exhibited technical failures. Staff has
researched solutions to these problems with a number of different AV professionals, beginning earlier
this Spring. It has taken several months for these professionals to diagnose the problems and propose
solutions. Thus, at the time the FY26-27 budget was approved staff did not have a firm idea of what the
repairs would cost. Now we have a better idea of the actual costs we can accurately budget for these
repairs. The total cost of the repairs is $29,000. An expense for these repairs is shown in 10-80-260.
Revenue to offset these repairs comes from the fund balance.
CCC Refrigerator
The commercial grade double door refrigerator in the CCC kitchen ceased to operate in early July. The
refrigerator was an original piece of equipment in the CCC and was nearly 20 years old. Rather than
expend money on costly repairs for a piece of equipment at the end of its life cycle, staff replaced the
refrigerator with a new model. The new refrigerator is not top commercial grade (as was the original),
but is a solid model. The refrigerator expense was $2,700. A proposed expenditure for this amount is
shown in 10-80-260. Revenue to offset this amount comes from the fund balance.
Backup Generator at the 500K Gallon Water Tank
The backup generator at the 500K gallon water tank (located at the top of Tiley Hill) ceased to operate
last year. The FY25-26 Budget was amended to allow the replacement of this generator. Staff arranged
for the purchase of a new generator and scheduled it for installation. However, the generator company
delivered the wrong model generator. It has taken some time to coordinate the installation of the correct
replacement generator. The new correct generator is now ready to install. Money for this expenditure
was budgeted last year, but it was never spent because the generator was not installed. Therefore, that
budgeted money went back into the fund balance at the end of last fiscal year. The proposed budget
amendment takes that money ($78,000) back out of the fund balance and puts it in the water fund
(51-40-780) to cover this expense.
Public Works Starlink Accounts
The Public Works department does field work (GPS mapping, inspections, etc.) that requires an internet
connection to sync with the Town’s GIS asset management database. There are areas throughout the
Town where the cellular network is not strong enough to support a data connection for this work. The
Public Works Department is experimenting with a Starlink internet connection to provide connectivity in
cellular data deadzones. The expense for this service ($1,320) is split between the water fund
(51-40-490) and the sewer fund (52-40-490).
Emergency Sewer Repairs
The FY26-27 budget as approved in June includes a transfer from the sewer fund balance to the sewer
fund to cover unanticipated sewer repairs (an expense in 52-40-300). However, this transfer was not fully
shown on the budget sheets in the adopted budget. The proposed amendment corrects this minor
clerical oversight. This is not a newly proposed expense, it is just housekeeping to correct the
bookkeeping.
Council Action
The proposed revisions to the budget are shown in the attached budget sheets1. Proposed changes are
highlighted in yellow for ease of reference. Line items not highlighted are unchanged from the original
budget.
The Council should review the attached budget amendment and determine if the proposed expenditures
and revenues are in keeping with Town priorities. If so, the Council should approve Resolution 2026-11
which will formally make these changes.

Treasurer Dawn Brecke has completely revamped the format of the budget sheets. The new format shows the
proposed changes associated with the budget amendment in the light blue shaded columns. The light green
shaded columns show the approved FY26-27 budget. The light yellow columns show the FY25-26 actual amounts
and final budget amounts. This new format is intended to help the Council more easily track the proposed revisions
to the budget.

Memorandum
T o:
Town Council
From: Niall Connolly, Director of Community Development
Date: September 4th, 2026
Re:
Lease Agreement with Atlas Tower LLC
I ntroduction
Atlas Tower is proposing to lease an area of Town property (30ft x 24 ft) at 226 Paradise Road for the
purpose of building a cell tower.
Figure 1. Location of land proposed to be leasedshown in yellow rectangle
tlas Tower is a company that builds cell towers, and leases space on those towers to carriers. They are
A
based in Boulder, Colorado. Verizon has expressed an interest in deploying at this location if Atlas builds
a tower. If a tower is built, other cell providers may also be able to attach their antenna to this tower (i.e.
collocate).
T he proposed lease is structured to include a three year “testing period”, during which time Atlas would
carry out the relevant engineering investigations and also obtain the relevant permits from the Town to
build a tower. At the end of the three year “testing period”, Atlas would have an option to construct a
tower and lease the land for a period of thirty years. The term could be extended. Rent would be payable
beginning the first day of the month following site construction completion. The proposed rent is as
follows:
O
●
ne time payment of $10,000
● Monthly rent of $1,250 (increasing by 2% annually)
● Additional $250 rent per month per additional tenant (other cell networks that choose to
collocate). This would also increase by 2% annually.
T he lease agreement presented to the Town Council has been reviewed and negotiated by the Town
Attorney, as well as Town staff and the Mayor.
ell Tower Policy in Springdale
C
The Town adopted a Wireless Communications Master Plan in 2025. Concurrent with the master plan,
the Town also updated the Wireless Communications chapter of the Town Code. One purpose of these
efforts was to enable the development of more cell towers in Springdale, so that our often unreliable cell
service could be improved. The master plan also considered the potential visual impact of cell towers. A
key component of the master plan process was to ensure cell tower development in Springdale would
not compromise our stunning natural setting and village character. The master plan identifies nine
priority locations in Town where cell towers would be appropriate. Most of these are on Town owned
property. The intention of this was to give the Town more control over the design of these structures.
The location that Atlas is proposing is one of the priority sites identified in the master plan:
T own Council Action
The Council should review the proposed lease agreement. If the Council supports the agreement, it
should instruct the Mayor to sign it. If there are elements of the lease agreement that the Council is
concerned about, or thinks should change, the Council could instruct staff to work with Atlas Tower on
a mendments. Alternatively, if the Council does not think the Town should move forward with this lease
agreement, the Council could vote against signing the agreement.
T he Council should note that this location was identified in the Wireless Communications Master Plan as
a priority location for a cell tower. Therefore, a 70 ft cell tower at this location has already been
approved in principle. Further, should Atlas want to proceed to build a cell tower at this location, they
would be required to go through the Town’s permitting process. This includes applying for a wireless
communication facility permit. Signing the lease agreement does not guarantee approval of a permit,
but it does indicate that the Town is anticipating a 70 ft cell tower being built on this property.
S ample Motion Language
The following sample motion language may be of use for the Council:
T he Town Council approves/ does not approve the Lease Agreement with Atlas Tower LLC for the property
at 226 Paradise Road, as discussed at the Town Council meeting on September 9th, 2026, and instructs
the Mayor to sign/ not to sign this Lease Agreement.

Noise Exemption Permit – UDOT Zion Canyon Fiber Optics Project / SR-9
Introduction
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), with project contractor BHI, has submitted an
application for a noise exemption permit associated with installation of fiber optic infrastructure along
State Route 9 through Springdale.
The project includes installation of fiber cable, conduit, and junction boxes within the UDOT right-of-way.
Construction activities are anticipated to include directional drilling, hydrovac operations, mini
excavators, heavy equipment, crews, and support vehicles.
The project will involve evening and nighttime construction activities that are anticipated to exceed the
noise limits established by Section 4-3B-2 of the Springdale Town Code. UDOT is therefore requesting
approval from the Town Council for a noise exemption permit for nighttime construction.
Requested exemption period: September 9, 2026 through December 31, 2026, between the hours of
8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.
Background
UDOT is installing fiber optic infrastructure as part of the Zion Canyon Fiber Optics Project. The fiber
optic network will support Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) infrastructure in the Zion Canyon
region, including traffic cameras, weather stations, road signs, real-time traffic management, and
incident response.
UDOT states that nighttime construction is proposed to minimize impacts to businesses and pedestrian,
bicycle, and vehicle traffic during peak travel periods along SR-9. The project team anticipates
completing approximately 500–600 feet of installation per night, with excavated areas backfilled as work
progresses.
Applicable Town Code
Section 4-3B-2 establishes the following maximum noise levels within the Town:
● Daytime, 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.: 90 dBA
● Evening, 8:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.: 60 dBA
● Nighttime, 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.: 50 dBA
Section 4-3B-2(D) exempts noise associated with construction equipment used for an approved and
permitted project when operated between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. The proposed evening and nighttime
construction therefore requires an exemption if the applicable noise standards will be exceeded.
Section 4-3B-2(C) authorizes the Town Council to approve an exemption permit for a specific
noise-making occurrence when all applicable standards are satisfied.
Analysis
1. Necessity of the Noise-Making Activity and Community-Wide Public Benefit
The Code requires the noise-making occurrence to be necessary for the operation or construction of an
approved project and limits exemptions to unavoidable instances of noise-making necessary for the
project.
UDOT states that the proposed fiber optic network will support transportation safety and operations
throughout the Zion Canyon region through traffic cameras, weather stations, road signs, real-time traffic
management, and incident response capabilities.
UDOT further states that nighttime operations will reduce construction impacts during peak travel
periods on SR-9. Conducting portions of the work at night is also anticipated to shorten the overall
construction schedule by approximately one month, although the actual duration will depend on
subsurface conditions encountered during drilling.
Staff finds that the project provides a community-wide public benefit and that the applicant has
provided justification for conducting portions of the construction during evening and nighttime hours.
2. Notice to Property Owners
Section 4-3B-2(C)(2) requires the applicant to mail notice of the proposed noise-making occurrence and
the Town Council meeting to property owners within 600 feet of the proposed noise-making location at
least ten days before the Council meeting. Proof of mailing must be submitted to Town staff.
The applicant has provided documentation regarding the required notification, including the notice
distributed to affected property owners, the applicable property-owner mailing information, and proof
of mailing.
Staff finds that the notification requirement has been satisfied, subject to confirmation that mailing
occurred at least ten days prior to the September 9, 2026 Town Council meeting.
3. Limitation to One Exemption Permit Per Year
Section 4-3B-2(C)(3) provides that only one exemption permit may be granted to the same person,
group, organization, or property within a one-year period.
The applicant states that BHI does not anticipate conducting additional nighttime work in Springdale
following completion of the work covered by this application.
Staff finds that this standard can be satisfied provided the proposed exemption constitutes the
applicable exemption for this project during the one-year period.
4. Measures to Limit Noise Impacts
Section 4-3B-2(C)(4) requires the applicant to take all reasonable measures to limit noise impacts and
nuisance on surrounding properties.
BHI proposes the following mitigation measures:
● Avoid use of vehicles requiring backup alarms during nighttime work when possible and refrain
from unnecessary use of backup alarms.
● Use two-way radios for crew communication rather than yelling.
● Conduct no asphalt paving during nighttime operations.
● Conduct jackhammering and sawcutting operations during daytime hours.
● Backfill excavated areas as work progresses through the corridor.
● Fence and cover excavated areas that must remain open.
● Work efficiently through the corridor with a goal of completing approximately 500–600 feet of
installation per night and having excavated areas backfilled by morning.
Staff finds that these measures are appropriate to reduce nighttime noise impacts. Staff recommends
incorporating the applicable noise mitigation measures as conditions of approval.
5. Minimum Noise and Shortest Necessary Duration
Section 4-3B-2(C)(5) requires the proposed noise to represent the minimum amount of noise necessary
and occur for the shortest duration necessary to effectively complete the project.
The applicant proposes limiting particularly disruptive activities, including jackhammering, sawcutting,
and asphalt paving, to daytime operations. Nighttime work will primarily consist of activities necessary
for fiber installation, including directional drilling, hydrovac operations, excavation, and associated
construction activities.
The applicant also states that nighttime operations are intended to allow work to proceed efficiently
while traffic, pedestrian activity, and business activity along SR-9 are at their lowest levels. Nighttime
operations may reduce the overall project schedule by approximately one month. Based on the
information submitted, staff finds that the applicant has proposed reasonable measures to limit
nighttime activities to those necessary to complete the project and to minimize the duration of the
noise-producing work.
Town Council Action
If the Town Council decides to approve the UDOT Zion Canyon Fiber Optics Project Noise Exemption
Permit, the Council should consider the following conditions of approval:
1. The noise exemption shall apply only to the UDOT Zion Canyon Fiber Optics Project within the
Town of Springdale and only during the dates and hours approved by the Town Council.
2. Nighttime construction activities shall be limited to those necessary for completion of the fiber
optic installation.
3. Jackhammering and sawcutting shall be conducted during daytime hours and shall not occur
during the nighttime exemption period.
4. Asphalt paving shall not occur during the nighttime exemption period.
5. BHI shall minimize the use of vehicles and equipment requiring backup alarms during nighttime
operations to the greatest extent reasonably practicable.
6. Construction crews shall use two-way radios or similar communication methods to minimize
unnecessary nighttime noise from crew communications.
7. BHI shall implement the noise mitigation measures represented in its application and supporting
materials and shall conduct nighttime operations in a manner that minimizes noise impacts on
surrounding properties.
8. The applicant shall maintain the project contact information/hotline during the exemption
period so that concerns associated with nighttime construction can be reported to the project
team.
Suggested Motion Language
Approval:
I move that the Town Council approve the Noise Exemption Permit for the UDOT Zion Canyon Fiber
Optics Project along SR-9, for September 9, 2026 through December 31, 2026, between the hours of
8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m., subject to the following conditions (list conditions) . This motion is based on the
finding that the application satisfies the requirements for a noise exemption permit established in
Section 4-3B-2(C) of the Springdale Town Code.
Denial:
I move that the Town Council deny the Noise Exemption Permit for the UDOT Zion Canyon Fiber Optics
Project based on the finding that the application does not satisfy the requirements of Section 4-3B-2(C)
of the Springdale Town Code.

(8 PM to 7 AM) operations (conducted by the project contractor, BHI) from August 24,
2026 through as late as December 31, 2026. Specific details regarding how these
operations meet the Town noise standards as established in section 4-3B-2 of the Town
Code are outlined below.
1. The noise making occurrence is necessary for the operation or administration of
a project, event, or land use which has been permitted by the Town of
Springdale. Exemption permits shall only be granted for unavoidable instances of
noise making necessary for the function or construction of an approved project,
event, or land use. Exemption permits shall not be granted for private parties or
commercial events that do not have a community wide public benefit:
The fiber optic network supports intelligent transportation system (ITS)
technology that enhances the safety and reliability of travel through the Zion
Canyon region, including traffic cameras, weather stations, road signs, and realtime traffic management and incident response. The Zion Canyon Fiber Optics
project is part of UDOT’s broader effort to enhance connectivity and quality of life
throughout Utah through modernizing the state’s fiber optic infrastructure. In
order to minimize traffic impacts during peak travel times along SR-9, the project
team is requesting a noise exemption in order to perform some operations in
Springdale at night.
2. The person seeking the exemption permit has mailed notice of the proposed
noise making event, as well as the Town Council meeting where the permit
application will be reviewed, to all property owners within 600 feet of the
proposed noise making location. Such notice must be mailed at least ten days
prior to the Town Council meeting where the permit application will be
considered. The applicant must submit proof of mailing to Town staff: please see
a copy of the mailer, the list of property owners within 600 feet of State Route 9
who received copies of the mailer, and proof of postage attached.

3. Only one exemption permit will be granted to the same person, group,
organization, or property within a one-year period: BHI does not anticipate
needing to conduct any night work after the period specified in the application
(August 24, 2026 to December 31, 2026) in the Town of Springdale.
4. The applicant will take all reasonable measures to limit the noise impact and
nuisance on surrounding properties
AND
5. The proposed noise is the minimum amount of noise necessary, and for the
shortest duration, to effectively complete the project, event, or land use:
BHI will implement the following measures to minimize noise nuisance and
conduct work as efficiently as possible:
• Crew members will refrain from utilizing backup alarms from vehicles onsite and will avoid using these trucks during nighttime work altogether
when possible.
• Crew members will utilize 2-way radios to facilitate communications and
avoid yelling.
• There will be no asphalt paving during nighttime work.
• Excavated areas will be backfilled as work progresses through the
corridor; if dug areas must remain open, BHI plans to fence off and cover
these areas to limit public interference with any open work zones
• Jackhammering and sawcutting operations will be completed during
daytime operations
• BHI will aim to complete 500-600 feet of installation per night with
everything backfilled by morning.
In closing, night work operations, permitted under an exemption by the Town of
Springdale, will be less impactful to traffic and businesses along the corridor, as
businesses will be closed during the evenings and pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicular
traffic will be at its lowest point. Completing operations during evening and nighttime
hours in Springdale brings the potential to save a month of time on the total project,
though this estimate is dependent on the material crews encounter underneath the
roadway and how difficult it will be to drill through.
Please reach out to the project team through their dedicated project email
([email protected]) or hotline (855-663-6800) with any questions.

Re:
Resolution 2026-10: Public Body Code of Conduct, Rules of Procedure
Executive Summary
The Town of Springdale has adopted various iterations of a Conduct Policy, Rules of Procedure, and
Meeting Protocol for Elected Officials and Public Bodies. The Town Council held a work session in April to
discuss potential changes to the meeting protocol. At that meeting the Council gave staff direction on
changes to make to the policy.
The Council reviewed a proposed update to the conduct policy in the August meeting. The Council gave
staff direction to revise the policy in several ways, including:
- Revising the restriction on discussing administrative items with the public outside of a public
meeting.
- Clarifying the protocol surrounding attendance at meetings of other public bodies.
- Changing the media policy to clarify that all members of a public body may speak to the media
to express their personal opinions.
- Revising the permissible content of public comments during the open comment period of Town
Council meetings.
Staff has made these changes to the policy.
Staff has also added language to section 1.4.2 clarifying the nature of legal opinion letters. Additionally,
staff has made several formatting and stylistic changes which do not impact policy.
Council Action
The Council should discuss the proposed updated Code of Conduct, Rules of Order and Procedure for
Public Meetings. If the Council finds this document is consistent with the Council’s direction, the Council
should adopt Resolution 2026-10.
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-10

of order and procedures that govern a public meeting; and

governance; and

basic rules of order for its public bodies, and a format for conducting its public meetings and public
hearings;

these rules of order and procedures for public meetings and public hearings will be utilized to
effectuate orderly, efficient, and fair public meetings. These rules of order and procedures replace any
other previously adopted rules of order and procedure.

etc.) has approved the direction or officially authorized you as the public body’s representative
on the issue.
d. Follow the procedure below when seeking information from staff about specific issues outside of

i. First, coordinate with the Council Member assigned as liaison for the department
responsible for the issue to see if they have the sought-after information, then

come to the meeting fully prepared to deliberate policy matters efficiently. If an agenda item
includes a document such as a contract or policy that, in the opinion of a member of the public

adopted plans and policies, information received through public comments, and the best

electronic platforms; all others shall clearly distinguish personal views from official Town

appointed public officials. If an elected or appointed public official receives a media request
at any time, the official shall coordinate with the Mayor prior to making any comments to the
media. Officials are free to express their own ideas and perspectives to the media, if they
clearly indicate they are speaking for themselves and not on behalf of the Town in general.
The Mayor may designate a Public Information Officer (PIO) or other spokesperson to

establish fair, transparent procedures for reviewing alleged violations and determining
appropriate responses, which may include counseling, training, formal censure or
reprimand, removal from appointments where legally allowed, or employment discipline
consistent with Town policy and law.
c. Retaliation against any person who makes a good‑faith complaint or participates in an
investigation is prohibited and itself constitutes a violation of this policy.
2.0 Rules of Order for Public Meetings
All public meetings of Springdale Town Public Bodies shall follow the rules or order outlined below:
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
in the meeting must sign the attendance record so there is a record of their attendance
and the proper spelling of their name.
• Time will be allotted on the agenda of each open public Town Council meeting to allow a
reasonable opportunity for the public to provide verbal comment that is germane to the
purpose of the Town Council. This time is referred to as the “public participation” part of the
meeting in these rules of order and on the meeting agenda.
• During the Public Participation part of the meeting, community members may: 1) make
comments directed to the Town Council regarding any topic germane to the Council’s function,
and 2) ask clarifying, non-rhetorical questions of staff regarding any topic on the agenda or any
other topic of current interest in the town. Staff may elect to follow up with the community
member(s) outside of the meeting if answers to questions are not readily available.
• If a public meeting includes a public hearing, the public hearing process will include an
opportunity for community members to ask clarifying, non-rhetorical questions of the staff and
the applicant at that time.
• If no public hearing is included on a meeting agenda, public comment is allowed only
during the public participation portion of the agenda. When an agenda item includes
a public hearing, public comment on that item shall be taken only during the public
hearing for that item, and not during the general public participation portion of the
agenda.
• Public comment, whether during the public participation segment of the agenda or
during a scheduled public hearing, shall be limited to three (3) minutes per person, or
at the discretion of the public body chair.
• If others have already expressed the same views as your own, you may simply indicate that
you agree with the previous speaker. If appropriate, a spokesperson may present the views
of a group.
• To encourage and respect the expression of all views, meeting rules prohibit clapping,
booing, or shouts of approval or disagreement from the audience.
• Attendees leaving a meeting before it is adjourned must leave in a quiet and orderly
manner until outside the meeting room so as not to disrupt the meeting.

brief overview of the hearing format and general instructions to the public to help them be
aware of the appropriate time and manner of their participation in the meeting.

the public body and for the record. Speaking time is limited to three minutes.
