    There will be a public hearing before the council considers a resolution adjusting user fees for the city’s bulk water system.

    City staff said the bulk water fees haven’t been adjusted for several years.

    The council will also consider a resolution supporting a name change for the Riverton Rendezvous Committee.

    Staff said the committee wants to change its name to the Riverton Rendezvous Balloon Committee because “they have been confused with the 1838 Rendezvous Association” in the past.

    “Also, they stated it would clarify that the committee is responsible for the Riverton Rendezvous Balloon Rally,” staff said.

    Staff recommended that the council approve the name change and require the committee to adopt bylaws.
