CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Eric P. Carr, P.E. – Community Development Director THROUGH: Anthony Tolstedt – City Administrator
DATE: April 20, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance 21-003 – An ordinance annexing various properties contiguous to the city limits of Riverton, Wyoming
Recommendation: The City Council approve on second reading Ordinance 21-003 annexing various properties, Fremont County, Wyoming.
Background:
Resolution 1426 was approved by City Council on February 16, 2021.Utility services for water, sewer, and sanitation have either been connected to, or made available to the properties described in Resolution 1426 for over 10 years. Normally, the Riverton Municipal Code would stipulate annexation prior to allowing either singular, or multiple properties to connect to utility services.
For myriad reasons, the properties described in Resolution 1426 were not required to annex into the city; however, those reasons have now expired.
Discussion:
Annexation of properties by municipalities is regulated by Wyoming Statute, Title 15, Chapter 1, Article 4 – Annexation; Determination of Boundaries; Addition and Exclusion of Land. Several of the properties listed in Resolution 1426 have previously submitted requests for annexation;
however, the requests have long since reached their expiration date, which is why staff is recommending following the procedures in W.S. §15-1-404 Annexing territories; initiation of proceedings; by governing bodies.
In following W.S. § 15-1-404, Resolution 1426 was the first step in the process. It was adopted February 16, 2021, certifying compliance with statute. The required advertisements were published March 2nd and March 16th, 2021. A public hearing and presentation of the proposed annexations to the Riverton Planning Commission was not required by State Statue, but was held to allow the Commissioners access to this information since it involves land. Ordinance 21-003 was recommended for approval by the Riverton Planning Commission at their March 18th, 2021 regular meeting, and was approved by the Riverton City Council on first reading April 6, 2021.
16
Budget Impact:
Infrastructure required for annexation has been in place to the properties listed in Resolution 1426 for well over a decade. The City of Riverton has been providing services to many of the properties since at least 2007; however, the properties have remained in the Riverton Fire Tax District rather than the City of Riverton. The Riverton Fire Tax District’s current mill levy is 75.414, while the City of Riverton Tax District mill levy is 80.414 (a $5.00 per thousand dollars of valuation difference). This means a property with an assessed valuation of $250,000 would see a yearly property tax increase of $118.75.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Eric P. Carr, P.E. – Community Development Director THROUGH: Anthony Tolstedt – City Administrator
DATE: April 20, 2021
SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance 21-004, Title 15 – 2020 National Electric Code
Recommendation: The City Council approve on second reading Ordinance 21-004 amending Section 15.04.010 (A) (10) of Chapter 15.04, Building Construction and Maintenance Codes for the purpose of adopting the 2020 version of NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC).
Background: An ordinance automatically adopting the latest version of the NEC was proposed at the March 16th, 2021 regular council meeting. The ordinance, as presented, failed on first reading. Ordinance 21-004 has been modified upon council’s request to reflect the adoption of the specific 2020 publication of the NEC.
The NFPA 70 – National Electrical Code (NEC) is a triennial publication produced by the National Fire Protection Association. It sets a minimum standard to which electrical work is to be completed and is automatically adopted by the State of Wyoming via reference to the most current edition in state law. The latest version of the NEC (c. 2020) was adopted by the state on July 1, 2020. The City of Riverton currently operates under the 2017 edition of the NEC; the predecessor to the 2020 version now available.
Discussion: The State of Wyoming grants authority over electrical construction to the Department of Fire Prevention and Electrical Safety in Title 35 – Public Health and Safety, Chapter 9 – Fire Protection; and more specifically, through the State Fire Marshal’s Office. Under Wyoming Statute § 35-9-121 (a), the State Fire Marshal can:
“…delegate complete authority to municipalities and counties which apply to enforce and interpret local or state fire, building, existing building standards or electrical safety standards…”
The City of Riverton has maintained local enforcement authority under this provision since it was made available.
As a caveat, Wyoming Statute § 35-9-121 (a) (ii) stipulates municipalities granted local enforcement authority shall adopt the same version of the NEC as the state; or:
22
“…enforcement authority shall immediately revert to the department.”
In other words, electrical work in the state of Wyoming is subject to compliance with the current edition of the NEC. Those municipalities and counties who possess local enforcement authority may either choose to adopt the same version of the NEC as the state, or relinquish their local enforcement authority. If this option is taken, the state would oversee permitting, plan review, and inspection duties for commercial/public electrical work and permitting and plan review duties for residential electrical work (homeowners may elect to have the work inspected for a fee). According to Mr. Mark Young (Assistant State Fire Marshal), the State Fire Marshal’s Office is not in favor of this outcome. They do not have the work force to accommodate the increased plan review and inspection load, which has the potential to produce significant delays.
Adoption of the 2020 NEC (in the form of Ordinance 21-002) was reviewed by the Construction Board of Appeals on March 11, 2021 and was recommended for approval by the City Council unanimously. Ordinance 21-004 was approved on first reading by the Riverton City Council at the April 6, 2021 regular meeting.
Budget Impact: There is no additional cost associated with the adoption of the 2020 NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code (NEC).

CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEMO
TO: His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Anthony Tolstedt, City Administrator
DATE: April 16, 2021
SUBJECT: Fee Waiver for Riverton Medical District
Recommendation: That Council consider the factors denoted in this report as part of their consideration towards waiver of fees/costs for the potential Riverton Medical District facility.
Background: At the most recent regular Council meeting, Council discussed the
possibility of waiving fees for the potential Riverton Medical District project proposed to be located in the Eastern Shoshone Business Park. Council previously received the attached information denoting the estimated development costs through the City of Riverton. Those numbers have been updated and are provided.
Pass through costs: Two of the provided estimates are items that are ultimately pass- through costs for the developer. This includes those costs associated with third party review as well as the cost for the water meter. The third party review is estimated
between $16,300 and $21,000 the meter cost is $2,775. These fees are pass through costs associated with development. As these are not costs within the control of the City of Riverton, payment of these fees is not recommended, as this would not be a waiver of fees but rather the assumption of development costs.
Fee Costs: Fees levied by the City of Riverton and their associated estimates are as follows:
Building Permit Fee: between $26,500 and $31,800 Water Tap fee: $11,966
Sewer Tap Fee: $4,823.
Total: These three items total between $$43,289 and $48,589. Waiver of these fees would affect the separate funds as denoted in the Budget Impact section of this
correspondence. Council may choose to waive the following fees for RMD as they deem appropriate.
Agreement Structure: If Council chooses to waive fees associated with recommended fees, Staff will prepare a funding agreement for Council’s approval, which would formalize the specific waiver of funds.
26
Future Requests: One of the questions / topics of discussion at the previous meeting was the standards by which future proposals are to be considered for the same consideration and what standards would be applied to those future requests. The most notable potential standard for such consideration might be linked to economic impact each project could potentially produce. Waiver of fees could be tied to particular performance of a development in terms of job creation or a similar metric. Additionally, the City could look to develop a scale by which requests are considered. Each of these options and any other potential methods will require significantly more time to develop prior to
consideration.
Alternatives: Council may direct staff as Council deems appropriate towards the waiver of fees associated with the development of the proposed RMD facility. If Council wishes additional analysis and presentation of standards for future fee waivers, additional discussion guidance is requested before a complete recommendation might be made.
Budget Impact: If City Council were to waive fees, the the denoted funds would forgo the following estimated revenue amounts.
1. General Fund: $26,500 to $31,800 2. Water Fund: $11,966
3. Sewer Fund: $4,823
4. Other: It is not recommended to waive/supplement pass through costs associated with third party review and meter purchase.
Council Goals: If the facility is built and performs as proposed, waiver of fees would align with Council Goal # 6: Promote Economic Development.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
TO: His Honor the Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Eric P. Carr, P.E. – Community Development Director THROUGH: Anthony Tolstedt – City Administrator
DATE: April 20, 2021
SUBJECT: Conceptual Airport Property Division
Recommendation: The City Council provide direction to staff on how it wishes to proceed on a proposed division of property near the Central Wyoming Regional Airport.
Background:
Several lots and tracts of land have been for sale near the airport for well over a decade. Some of the land available is either not platted as individual lots, or the lot(s) available is awkwardly shaped, making them more difficult to attract potential buyers.
Discussion:
At the request of the mayor, a conceptual lot layout has been developed for two large parcels proposed for division into smaller portions (see attachment). At this time, staff is requesting direction on whether to proceed with the division proposal. This would require obtaining a land surveyor, developing plats for the proposed property division, and setting property corners.
Budget Impact:
Land surveyor fees required for the proposed division of land were not accounted for in the 20- 21 fiscal year budget, and are anticipated to be on the order of $15k-$25k; however, given the addition of several lot, land sales would likely offset these costs. It should also be noted, under current subdivision regulations, the city would be acting as a developer and as such would be responsible for road improvements throughout the subdivision (water and sewer infrastructure are already in-place).
Council Goals:
Division of certain parcels of land near the airport coincides with council goals: 3. Enhancing City Image and Beautification, 6. Promotion of Economic Development, and 7. Maintaining Financial Stability.
