The Riverton Law Enforcement Service Area Board met on October 20, 2026, at 12830 South Redwood Road, Riverton, UT. The meeting began at 7:30 PM and focused on approving prior meeting minutes and discussing the long-range financial plan for police operations. Key topics included the projected deficit, potential property tax increases, and the level of general fund subsidy for the police department.
We're ready to begin. Thank you for coming. Yeah. Okay. Our final meeting of the night. Call it to order. And we will start with minute approval. Don't we need a motion? Move to approve. Thank you, Councilmember. Councilmember Johnson. You second it? Yep. Okay. All in favor, please. Thank you very much. We will now move to item two B, the long range plan for police operations. Mr. Geer. Thank you, mayor, council, or you know, board members, as we are in a different meeting. So it's always I just have to remember that we talk as though we're we're board members for this. A few weeks back, we started to have conversations about our long-range plan for the city. Um we're now having kind of a similar meeting, but for our Riverton law enforcement service area. Okay. I want to take just a minute to remind us what the long range plan is and what it is not. The long range plan is not a budget, right? This is a tool that is helping that is meant to help us try to predict the future. And I say try, I don't have a crystal ball to tell you exactly what's going to happen one year, two year, three years, four years, five years. But what we do is we try to make assumptions. We try to look at history and we try to make estimates about what that's going to be. The biggest takeaway that I hope more than anything is we have this discussion tonight, is that we have a discussion about the long-term health and and long-term goals and plans of our law enforcement service area. That's the purpose of this discussion and the purpose of what we want to accomplish today. This slide is a slide that you guys have seen in different ways, shapes, and forms for every one of the presentations I've done so far. And it's very similar, but this one's probably very starkly different than some of the others, where it's very clear our revenues and our even our transfers in don't quite equate to what we're doing for operating expenditures and capital outlay. And over time it kind of gets worse, right? Same graphic in a different way. This just shows how the fund balance is projected to end over the next five years, which is we we know is going to be going a little bit farther down the hole. Councilman Pucci, sorry, does that. Yeah, sorry. Yeah, please hit me. Are these projections based upon if we fund everything that's been recommended in the long term? Okay, I just wanted to. It is based upon that and is based on a few other things, such as no change to revenue, and no additional general fund assistance outside of paying for animal control. Those are good those and all of the hiring, all of the vehicles, all of the.
