The Alpine City Council will meet Tuesday, Oct. 27, to consider a $100,000 sponsorship agreement with Alta Bank for naming rights to the community room within the new fire station and community center. The deal, which is on the consent calendar, would rename the space the Alta Bank Community Room in exchange for donations paid over three years.
Under Resolution R2026-29, Alta Bank would provide the $100,000 through three annual installments. The city would receive $33,333.34 on Nov. 1, 2026, followed by $33,333.33 on both Nov. 1, 2027, and Nov. 1, 2028. Stan Sorensen, Alta Bank's senior vice president and chief marketing officer, is the bank's signatory on the agreement. The agreement includes provisions requiring the city to restore any altered or removed naming rights within 10 business days following written notice from the bank.
The council will also vote on permanent traffic safety changes along Main Street. Proposals presented by City Engineer Jason Judd include installing at least four permanent no-parking signs along Legacy Park, costing approximately $150 per sign. Additionally, the city may extend temporary median delineators about 200 feet north to block left turns from northbound Main Street onto 120 South. This project would require roughly 40 new delineators at approximately $100 each, totaling about $4,000, bringing the combined cost of both projects to up to $5,000.
John Haderlie of Larson & Company will present the city's annual audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. An audit dated Oct. 21 gave Alpine City a clean opinion, stating that financial statements present fairly in all material respects. The audit found that the city's total net position grew by $4.9 million to $105.7 million, and governmental fund balances rose by $1.9 million to $16.3 million. Auditors reported no material weaknesses in internal controls and no compliance violations.
The naming rights deal involves the community center being built as part of the Alpine Fire Station No. 20 project. Alta Bank, which was formerly known as Bank of American Fork, is a division of Glacier Bank. The city originally approached the bank earlier this year to contribute to the community center project.
The council will also consider spending $23,765.15 at RC Willey for appliances and televisions, and $4,818.81 in PARC tax funds for wood for trail bridges being built by Eagle Scouts. Other discussion items include a potential property sale to Alpine Fitness and the installation of signage along the Timberline Middle School sports fields on Long Drive.
