1.          This Work Session of the City Council of the City of Cedar Hills, having been posted throughout the City and the press notified, was called to order at 6:10 p.m. by Mayor McGee.

 

2.          Presentation by Pleasant Grove R/UDAT

 

See handouts. Deann Taylor of Pleasant Grove R/UDAT (Regional Urban Design Assistance Team) gave a presentation on her group’s activities. R/UDAT is a program of the American Institute of Architects. Pleasant Grove City has applied for their services to get help on the revitalization of their historic downtown, the transportation corridors and the gateway area. Their application was submitted in April. As part of the process, Pleasant Grove was encouraged to meet with neighboring cities. She asked that a Cedar Hills Council representative meet with the team in January.

 

3.          Report from RC Management Regarding the Cedar Hills Golf Course

 

RC Management was not present, but Konrad Hildebrandt gave a report. Rounds doubled over last year and revenue was up $10,000. Sunset Room rental, pro shop sales and concessions were also up. The City has never taken any action on sledding. The golf course would like to post no trespassing signs and fence off sensitive areas, like the greens and tee boxes.

 

4.          Noticed Agenda Items for this Regular Council Meeting

 

           Fiscal Year 2004-2005 Audit - Mike Hale, Angie Anderson and Kalyn Hilton were present for this presentation. They did not find any weaknesses in internal controls. There were two audit findings: (1) The recording of accounting transactions - Some were not being reported accurately or in compliance with general accounting standards. (2) Classification of expenses - Some expenses were posted to the contingency account rather than the specific account. C. Perry said he would like to see an e-mail report with the root cause for each finding. The City improved all the findings from last year except Finding #1, which was the recording of accounting transactions. There were a few departments that were over budget for the year: Fire, Solid Waste and General Government.

 

5.          This meeting was adjourned at 7:02 p.m. by Mayor McGee.
