[c. Resolution No. 25-018 requesting the City Council waive $2,500 for the security deposit of the rodeo arena for South Oquirrh Hills Western Riding Club]

YOU. WE WILL NOW GO TO PUBLIC HEARING. SEE RESOLUTION NUMBER 25, DASH 018, REQUESTING THE CITY COUNCIL OF $2,500 FOR THE SECURITY DEPOSIT OF THE RODEO ARENA FOR THE SOUTH HILLS WESTERN RIDING CLUB. MR. ANDERSON, DO YOU HAVE SOME INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH US BEFORE WE TALK TO THE APPLICANT? YES. HOWEVER, I DO WANT TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND. THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL FEE WAIVER. THIS IS A SECURITY DEPOSIT WAIVER. AND IN CITY CODE, SO THAT THE 1082 THAT THE STATE HAS DOES NOT APPLY. THIS ONE IS IN OUR CITY CODE 341. I JUST WANT TO GIVE A COUPLE OF DEFINITIONS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC THAT ARE HERE.

SERVICE FEE IS DEFINED IN THREE FOUR, ONE AS A REQUIREMENT TO PAY MONEY TO THE CITY FOR GOODS OR SERVICES RENDERED AS IDENTIFIED IN THE CITY'S UNIFORM CONSOLIDATED FEE SCHEDULE AND IN SECTION TWO OF BB2, THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORITY CAN WAIVE ANY SERVICE FEE. AND SO THAT'S WHAT EMPOWERS YOU TO HAVE THIS ITEM COME BEFORE YOU. THE SOUTH OAK HILLS WESTERN RIDING CLUB DESIRES TO RENT THE RODEO ARENA FOR PRACTICE SESSIONS. THEY HAVE 12 MEMBERS. THE CLUB IS PREPARING FOR THE UPCOMING PARADE SEASON, WHERE THEY RIDE HORSES IN PARADES AND THEY JUST WOULD LIKE TO PRACTICE. THEY ARE PAYING TO USE THE FACILITY. IF YOU LOOK IN THE CONSOLIDATED FEE SCHEDULE, YOU CAN RENT 28 SESSIONS OF THE RODEO ARENA FOR $600, WHICH THEY HAVE PAID FOR.

THEY HAVE A THEIR APPLICATION STATES THEY CARRY A $1 MILLION LIABILITY POLICY TO COVER ANY POTENTIAL INCIDENTS. HOWEVER, THE ONLY SECURITY DEPOSIT FOR THE RODEO ARENA, WHICH IS $2,500, AND THE BELIEF IS THAT THAT IS PROBABLY SET ASIDE FOR A FULL, FULLY PRODUCED RODEO AS OPPOSED TO JUST USING THE ARENA. NO ONE REALLY IN THE STANDS, NOT REALLY USING THE PARKING, JUST A GROUP OF 12 INDIVIDUALS TO PRACTICE WRITING THEIR HORSE. SO THEY HAVE PAID FOR RENTAL TO GET READY FOR THE PARADE SEASON. THEY'RE SIMPLY ASKING THE COUNCIL IF YOU WOULD WAIVE THE $2,500 SECURITY DEPOSIT. TYPICALLY, THE SECURITY DEPOSIT IS RETURNED WHEN THEY'RE COMPLETE. THE AMOUNT IS PRETTY SUBSTANTIAL FOR 12 MEMBERS OF THIS CLUB TO RIDE, AND ALINA LITTLE NO, IT'S OH, SHE'S HERE TOO. OKAY, SO THERE'S A COUPLE PEOPLE FROM THE SOUTH HILLS RIDING CLUB TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE FOR THEM. SPEAK FIRST. YEAH, I

[00:45:06]

HAVE A QUESTION. OKAY. YOU CAN COME UP, BUT HOLD ON. WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE A COUNCIL MEMBER.

JACOB HAS A QUICK QUESTION AND THIS IS FOR OUR STAFF. I DON'T KNOW WHICH SIDE OF THE WHICH SIDE OF THE ROOM WANTS TO ANSWER, BUT WAVING A SECURITY DEPOSIT, BEING VERY APPROPRIATELY POINTED OUT THAT IT'S DIFFERENT THAN WAIVING A FEE SECURITY DEPOSIT IS NORMALLY COLLECTED IN THE EVENT THAT SOME DAMAGE OR SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS, WE DEDUCT THAT FROM THE SECURITY DEPOSIT AND REFUND THE REST OR WHATEVER. IF NO SECURITY DEPOSIT IS COLLECTED, WHAT IS THE CITY'S POSITION IF THERE IF SOMETHING DID HAPPEN WHERE THAT WOULD NORMALLY COME OUT OF A SECURITY DEPOSIT. WE DON'T HAVE A SECURITY DEPOSIT. WE'RE NOT WAIVING THAT. RIGHT. NO. YEAH.

WE ACTUALLY HAD A PRETTY ROBUST ARGUMENT OR DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS IN OUR OFFICE. I THINK THE ISSUE IS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PURSUE LEGAL REMEDIES CONTRACTUALLY UNDER THE RENTAL AGREEMENT AND TO AVOID HAVING TO GO THROUGH THAT EXPENSE, THAT, THAT COST. I MEAN, THAT THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE WOULD HAVE TO DO IF, IF THERE WAS DAMAGE TO ONE OF THE, THE. GATES OR, OR TRUCK BACKED INTO SOMETHING, WE'D, WE'D HAVE TO PURSUE THOSE LEGALLY. SO IT IS IT IS A RISK OR IT IS A CONCERN, BUT THAT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'D HAVE TO PURSUE. OKAY. AND DOES THE RENTAL AGREEMENT PROVIDE FOR THAT, THAT THAT EVENTUALITY IF THAT HAPPENED? OKAY. YES. OKAY. AS LONG AS IT'S IN THE RENTAL AGREEMENT THAT I'M THEN I'M MORE OR LESS I'M LESS CONCERNED. AS LONG AS THERE'S A PATH LAID OUT IN THE RENTAL AGREEMENT. AND WE'RE NOT ASSUMING THAT THE RENTAL AGREEMENT IS THE SAME AS IF AS IF IT WAS THERE WAS A SECURITY DEPOSIT ON FILE. AND MAYBE, SORRY, IF I COULD SAY ONE MORE THING. SURE. EVEN EVEN IN THE CASE THAT WE DID GET A RENTAL OR A SECURITY DEPOSIT, IF DAMAGES EXCEEDED THAT SECURITY DEPOSIT, OUR REMEDIES WOULD WOULD STILL ESSENTIALLY BE THE SAME WOULD WOULD HAVE TO PURSUE THOSE THROUGH A CAUSE OF ACTION. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR. SO KIND OF ON THAT SAME LINE AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S STAFF OR THE APPLICANTS, BUT THAT'S GREAT THAT THEY HAVE THIS INSURANCE POLICY. BUT WHAT DOES THAT INSURANCE POLICY COVER. DOES IT COVER OUR ARENA OR DOES IT JUST COVER THE RIDERS? WHAT WHAT'S THE INSURANCE POLICY, $1 MILLION? THAT'S GREAT. BUT WHAT DOES IT COVER? OH, YOU REALLY THINK I COULD SEE THAT? WELL, LET'S HAVE THEM DISCUSS AND THEN WE CAN ASK MORE QUESTIONS IF YOU CAN JUST. YEAH, IF, YOU KNOW, I'D LOVE TO KNOW. OKAY. GO AHEAD. HI, I'M ELENA LITTLE. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF SOUTH OCHER RIDING CLUB. THIS IS CHRISTY SPENCER. SHE IS OUR DRILL DIRECTOR. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT. I WILL LET CHRISTY DO BECAUSE I HAVE ASKED HER TO KIND OF TAKE OVER THIS, SINCE THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT I PERSONALLY HAVE TO DO. AND I WANTED TO DELEGATE. THE POLICY THAT WE HAVE IS IN PART BECAUSE ELENA SPONSORS A LOT OF SHOWS FOR KIDS. OUR WHOLE THING IS ABOUT INCLUSION, BRINGING THE KIDS IN, TRYING NOT TO LOSE THAT CULTURE WHEN IT COMES TO THE HORSES AND THE POWER THAT THEY HAVE FOR THINGS LIKE SUICIDE PREVENTION, TO BE ABLE TO HEAL THE MIND AND BODY, THE POLICY THAT WE HAVE IS SIMPLY TO COVER, AND WE HAVE TO ADD THE TIME. ANYTHING THAT GOES AMUCK, UP TO $1 MILLION. AND WE'VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING GO AMUCK THAT BADLY. SORRY. I WANTED TO EXPLAIN OUR ASSOCIATION A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN THAT PART, THAT PART. I HAVE THIS COPY THAT I BELIEVE YOU EMAILED TO ELLEN. I DIDN'T EMAIL, OKAY, I HAVE IT. I'M HAPPY TO LEAVE IT WHERE WE CAN EMAIL IT TO YOU GUYS CAN ACTUALLY GO OVER IT AS WELL, BUT IT BASICALLY COVERS ALL TYPES OF DAMAGE. BASICALLY WE HAVE 100 A MILLION TO COVER THE WHOLE RODEO GROUNDS. ANYTHING THAT OUR PEOPLE THAT WILL BE THERE SCREW UP NOW, IT DOESN'T TECHNICALLY COVER. IF SOMEBODY CHOSE TO COME ACROSS THE LINES DURING OUR PRACTICE TIME THAT IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH US, THAT ISN'T OUR FAULT. BUT IF IT'S BY ANY OF OUR PEOPLE OR ANY OF THEIR CHILDREN, ANYBODY THAT WE BRING, IT COVERS. IT ALSO COVERS ALL OF LIKE INJURY FOR OURSELVES AND ANYONE WE INVITE THERE. AND IT'S ALL LISTED IN HERE. AND OUR CHARTER IS INTENDED TO BE A CIVIC ORGANIZATION. SO WE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO ALIGN OURSELVES WITH WEST JORDAN IN THE POSSIBILITY OF OFFERING SOME OF THOSE CIVIC TYPES OF DUTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, A COLOR GUARD FOR THE WEST JORDAN

[00:50:01]

PARADE OR INVASIVE SPECIES OF NASTY PLANTS GROWING ALONG THE JORDAN RIVER PARKWAY. IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN INTO OUR CHARTER SINCE 2006, WHEN WE PUT IT TOGETHER THAT WE ARE A NONPROFIT. WE ARE JUST A GROUP OF ENTHUSIASTS THAT WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THE LOVE OF THESE WONDERFUL ANIMALS AND CONTINUE THAT PROCESS ON WITH OUR CHILDREN AND WITH OUR CHILDREN'S CHILDREN. ELENA AND I MAY AS WELL BE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER WERE THAT FAR APART IN AGE, THAT SHE GREW UP IN THIS AREA AND CONTINUES TO BE VOLUNTEERING IN FOUR-H ACTIVITIES, WHICH SHE HUSTLED OVER HERE FROM AND USED THE ARENA AS A RODEO QUEEN HERSELF. ATTENDED. I WASN'T GIVEN THAT PRIVILEGE, NOR AM I PRETTY ENOUGH, SO I JUST DONE MORE OF THE CIVIC RESPONSIBILITIES. I VOLUNTEER WITH SALT LAKE COUNTY SHERIFF'S MOUNTED POSSE, AND ALSO BOTH OF US ARE INVOLVED WITH THE BACKCOUNTRY HORSEMEN. THESE ARE ALL SITUATIONS THAT TRY TO INCREASE AND IMPROVE EDUCATION AWARENESS TRAILS AND CONTINUE THE NEXT GENERATION. THIS CLUB GIVES US KIND OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. AND LAST YEAR, I CAN BOAST IN SAYING THAT IN MY FIRST YEAR AS THE DRILL COORDINATOR, WE WON AT THE STATE LEVEL, THE ENTIRE STATE FOR THE WESTERN RIDING CLUBS AND OUR THEME WAS MILITARY AND THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE WAS SAID DURING IT, AS WE HAD A GENTLEMAN THAT POSTED THE FLAG THROUGH HIS ACTIVE MILITARY. SO ALL THESE THINGS WERE DISCUSSING TONIGHT, INCLUDING SOME OF OUR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE UP HERE.

I THINK WE COULD ALIGN WELL WITH AND WITH WEST JORDAN TO CONTINUE THAT FOCUS WITH US. IT HAS BECOME HARD IN THE LAST 20 YEARS OR SO, AS LAND IS TURNED INTO DEVELOPING AND HIGH DENSITY, TO MAINTAIN A FOOT IN THE DOOR FOR THE EQUESTRIAN COMMUNITY. AND MOST OF YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW THAT THE SALT LAKE COUNTY EQUESTRIAN PARK IS NO MORE, AT LEAST AS A FACILITY THAT WE COULD USE IN THAT CAPACITY. SO WE WERE HOPING THAT WE COULD BE OF VALUE ENOUGH AND KEEP THAT FOOT IN THE DOOR AND CONTINUE THAT CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION TO COME.

SHE'S REALLY GOOD AT IT BECAUSE SHE RUNS THE SHOWS. ALL RIGHT. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO MENTION AS GROWING UP IN FOUR-H AND STUFF, I PERSONALLY USED TO USE THE WEST JORDAN ARENA FOR OUR CLUB PRACTICE NIGHTS, AND THIS WAS ABOUT TEN ISH. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY STOPPED, BUT FOR ME IT WAS ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO. BUT WE USED TO DO THAT AND I WOULD, AS A WEST JORDAN RESIDENT, LOVE TO SEE THIS FACILITY THAT IS HERE. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS ALREADY MAINTAIN IT SO WELL AND ALL THESE WONDERFUL THINGS ACTUALLY BE UTILIZED FOR THE HORSE COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF JUST THE RODEO AND JUST THE DERBY. AND SO WE'RE HOPING THAT MAYBE WITH THE OPTION OF US USING IT AND RENTING IT THIS YEAR, THAT MAYBE IT COULD OPEN IT UP TO USE IT FOR OTHERS THAT ARE IN OUR SITUATION OR BRING YOU GUYS MORE OTHER SHOWS AND ASSOCIATIONS THAT WOULD LOVE TO COME UTILIZE THIS WONDERFUL PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE HERE IN ASTORIA. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A QUESTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN. I'M GOING TO THIS. THIS IS MORE DIRECTED TO. OUR CITY ATTORNEY, ACTING CITY ATTORNEY BECAUSE JOSH DECIDED HE COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT. THE INSURANCE POLICY THAT THAT THEY HAVE. I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN IT. I ACTUALLY HAVE NOT. OH, I WAS JUST. OKAY.

HAVE YOU SEEN IT, ALAN? OKAY, WELL, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU'D SEEN IT. IF IT IF IT'S COMPARABLE TO THE INSURANCE THAT WE REQUIRE FOR. YEAH. MY MIND GOES BLANK. PIONEER HALL. YEAH, I AND FROM WHAT I SAW WHEN IT WAS HELD UP AND THINGS IT IT LOOKS IT LOOKS SIMILAR. I'D HAVE TO LOOK I DON'T WANT TO TAKE YOUR ONLY COPY BY THE WAY. YOU HAVE YOU HAVE PLENTY I MEAN WE SO WE CAN LOOK AT IT. I DON'T THINK THIS HAD EVEN COME THROUGH OUR OFFICE QUITE YET BECAUSE IT HADN'T GOTTEN TO THAT POINT. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THE CITY WOULD WANT TO BE LISTED AS AN ADDITIONAL INSURED ON, ON THE INSURANCE POLICY. BUT YEAH, I DON'T THINK WE HAD GOTTEN TO THIS STAGE IN, IN OUR REVIEW. SO THIS WILL BE HELPFUL. I CAN IF I CAN HAVE THIS. GREAT. THANK YOU.

I'LL, I'LL TAKE IT BACK TO THE OFFICE AND WE'LL LOOK AT IT. BUT BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE BASICALLY THE SAME FORMAT AND FORM THAT WE GET FOR ANY OTHER SIGNIFICANT USAGE OF CITY FACILITIES. OKAY.

SO COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. JUST A BASIC ONES AND ZEROS KIND OF QUESTION HOW MUCH IS A DEDUCTIBLE AND DOES YOUR ASSOCIATION HAVE THE FUNDS TO COVER THAT DEDUCTIBLE. BECAUSE OF THE POLICY? IT IS AND THE FACT THAT WE CAN I AM THE PRESIDENT OF THIS ASSOCIATION.

IT ACTUALLY IS ALREADY COVERED AND PAID FOR. SO THERE IS NO DEDUCTIBLE. OKAY. MY LAST

[00:55:10]

QUESTION IS JUST A REMINDER TO ALL OF US HOW MANY PRACTICES OR USES OF THE RODEO GROUNDS ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE SUMMER? I BELIEVE IT WAS ASKED, OR YOUR GUYS'S NORMAL IS 28. WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO BE LESS THAN THAT. OKAY, WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE AMENDMENTS FOR THE WESTERN STAMPEDE EVENT. AND THEN THE OTHER MAJOR THING, YOU GUYS, THEY'RE KIND OF BUSY THAT WEEKEND. YEAH. WHICH I'M ALL FOR. YEAH, I STILL VOLUNTEER THERE EVERY YEAR TO THIS DAY. SO ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS. ALL RIGHT WELL THANK YOU. OKAY. SO THIS TIME WE WILL NOW MOVE TO OUR PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING. IF THERE'S ANYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THIS, PLEASE COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME. SEEING AS HOW THERE'S NOBODY IN THE AUDIENCE. MR. ANDERSON, IS THERE ANYBODY? OH, WE DO HAVE ONE. I'M SORRY. COME ON. FORWARD. SORRY. MY NAME IS WILL SPENCER. I'M KRISTY'S HUSBAND, BUT I'VE BEEN A WEST JORDAN RESIDENCE MY ENTIRE LIFE AND HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE WESTERN STAMPEDE. AS A LITTLE KID, I FELT LIKE WEST JORDAN WAS THE WEST. DRESSED IN THE COWBOY OUTFIT. I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST GREAT. BUT AS SHE SAID, IT'S BECOME MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT FOR EQUESTRIANS TO DO ANYTHING IN THE VALLEY ANYMORE. SO IT WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE THE ABILITY FOR THESE CLUBS TO STILL EXIST AND USE SOME OF THE. THROW SOME OF THE PROPERTIES. AND, AND I KNOW AS AN ACCOUNTANT MYSELF, THEY HAVE VERY LITTLE MONEY IN THEIR COFFERS. SO THE $2,500 IS TOUGH. THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO COME UP WITH THE FEE JUST TO USE THE PLACE. BUT THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE WESTERN STAMPEDE IN WEST JORDAN. IT'S ONE OF THOSE LEGACY THINGS THAT I'VE GROWN UP WITH AND I JUST LOVE. SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE, MR. ANDERSON, IS THERE ANYBODY ONLINE WITH THEIR HAND RAISED? THERE IS NO ONE ONLINE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL NOW GO TO SOME COMMENTS FROM VICE CHAIR WHITLOCK. I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION UNLESS OTHERS HAVE COMMENTS. I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN, AS WE'RE HEADED TOWARDS BUDGET SEASON, THIS WOULD BE MORE DIRECTED TOWARDS THE STAFF. BUT AS WE'RE HEADED TOWARDS THE BUDGET SEASON AND WE'RE LOOKING AT CONSOLIDATED FEE SCHEDULES, THIS IS ONE. THIS IS ONE THAT THE DEPOSIT MAY NOT MAKE SENSE. AND DOES IT MAKE SENSE. YOU KNOW, WE ALLOW THE INSURANCE POLICY OVER ON PIONEER HALL IS THAT THE INSURANCE POLICY IN IF THE CITY WERE AN ADDITIONAL INSURED ON THAT OR SOMETHING. ARE THOSE CAN THOSE BE CONSIDERED IN LIEU OF THE DEPOSIT. WE OUGHT TO LOOK AND START. WE OUGHT TO LOOK AT SOME OTHER THINGS FOR OTHER DEPOSITS ABOUT CAN WE DO LIKE HOTEL ROOMS DO. AND YOU, YOU RUN YOUR THE CHARGE CARD THROUGH OR THE RENTAL CAR COMPANIES THOSE KIND OF THINGS BECAUSE AND IF YOU DIDN'T, IF YOU DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE MEETING EARLIER TONIGHT, ONE OF OUR DISCUSSIONS WAS FOCUSED ON THE RODEO ARENA AND TRYING TO GET IT TO BE USED MORE. AND SO IF THIS IS IF THIS IS A BARRIER TO GETTING IT TO BE USED AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS, IF THERE'S A WAY WE CAN DO IN LIEU OF AND WE CAN LOOK AT THAT AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE BUDGET SEASON, I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE RIGHT THING TO DO, BECAUSE I THINK THE RIGHT, YOU KNOW, THERE I THINK THERE'S ONE OTHER INDOOR KIND OF SEMI KIND OF RIDING ARENA UP ON 54, 90 WEST THAT SOMEBODY OWNS. IT'S A BIG RED BARN I KNOW ON THE NORTH END, BUT OTHER THAN THAT SOME OF THE AREA IN JORDAN IS GOING AWAY FOR, FOR RIDING. AND SO WE OUGHT TO USE THE RODEO ARENA TO, TO KEEP GOING. AND YES, THE WESTERN STAMPEDE IS HITTING ITS 70TH ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR. COMMENT. ONE MORE QUICK THING. THIS IS IF YOU IF YOU CAN, YOU COME UP TO THE MICROPHONE REAL QUICK SO WE CAN HEAR IT. I MADE THE ATTEMPT STARTING IN JANUARY TO TRY TO GET TO THIS POSITION. SO I'M GRATEFUL TO ELLEN ANDERSON EXPEDITED, BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN IN A DIALOG WITH SHERRI MILLER FOR A LITTLE WHILE. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS BROUGHT FORTH WAS THE WEST JORDAN, NOT NOT JUST THE WEST JORDAN ARENA, FOR

[01:00:01]

THE USE OF THE CLUB, BUT I'M A MEMBER OF THE SALT LAKE COUNTY MOUNTED SHERIFF'S POSSE. WE ARE COMPLETELY UNDER SALT LAKE COUNTY'S RULE. WE ARE INSURED BY SALT LAKE COUNTY, COVERED BY SALT LAKE COUNTY, AND CONSIDERED AN EMPLOYEE OF SALT LAKE COUNTY. WHEN WE'RE INVOLVED IN THAT, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT THING TO ALIGN WITH WEST JORDAN BEING A SALT LAKE COUNTY PLACE, AND ALL WE ARE WITH THAT IS A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION THAT HELPS WITH CAMP HOPE AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH. UNFORTUNATELY, THE BARRIER FOR THAT $2,500 WAS THERE AS WELL.

AND THAT IS A 500 AND 1C3 CORPORATION THAT IS AGAIN COVERED COMPLETELY UNDER SALT LAKE COUNTY. AND NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE TO ANDY BALLARD BECAUSE THEY WERE WILLING TO GIVE US THAT ARENA, WHICH WAS THE RIGHT PRICE. BUT I WAS REALLY PUSHING FOR IT BECAUSE THERE'S ABOUT FOUR MEMBERS IN WEST JORDAN THAT ARE ACTIVE WITH THAT, AND THAT'S QUITE A TREK. SO JUST TOSSING THAT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MR. ANDERSON. DID YOU HAVE A COMMENT? YES. THANK YOU I DID ASK I WAS AWARE OF THIS QUESTION. COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN ASKED ABOUT HOW HOTELS TAKE MONEY AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I DID TALK TO OUR FINANCE DIRECTOR, ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR AND THE MONEY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL WITH THE STATE OF UTAH REQUIRES THAT CHECKS AND DEPOSITS BE DEPOSITED. EVEN A SECURITY DEPOSIT, WITHIN 72 HOURS. SO IF SOMEONE WERE TO MAKE A SECURITY DEPOSIT, THAT WOULD NEED TO BE DEPOSITED, NOT ON A HOLD, AND THEN WHEN THE EVENT CONCLUDED, THEN WE COULD CUT THE CHECK. AND THAT THAT'S FROM MISS STECKLER RAN THAT QUESTION BY HER. IT'S JUST MORE CLARIFICATION FOR THE COUNCIL. THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR WHITLOCK. THANK YOU. I DO WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE IN THIS APPLICATION YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE THE CITY. IT REALLY IS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT THAT WHEN WE ARE GIVING OUT. RESIDENTS MONEY, THAT THEY'RE GETTING SOMETHING IN RETURN. SO WHEN MR. CASTRO SAID THAT I USED TO VOTE NO ON ALL OF THESE BECAUSE I FELT LIKE I WAS GIVING AWAY RESIDENTS MONEY, BUT THE CITY WASN'T GETTING ANYTHING. SO SERVICE IN LIEU OF FEES IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME. AND I LOVED THAT IN THERE THAT THAT YOU WANT TO SERVE. I LOVE THAT YOUR EMPHASIS IS KEEPING SOMETHING ALIVE. THAT IS A SPORT THAT IS GOING AWAY, NOT JUST IN OUR CITY, OUR STATE, BUT OUR COUNTRY. AND I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, AS A MOTHER WITH A CHILD THAT HAS AUTISM, RIDING HORSES IS HELPFUL. IT THEY IT'S JUST A GREAT THING. SO I'M GOING TO MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 25 018, REQUESTING THE CITY COUNCIL WAIVE 2500 FOR THE SECURITY DEPOSIT OF THE RODEO ARENA FOR SOUTH OAK HILLS WESTERN RIDING CLUB. COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION BY VICE CHAIR WHITELOCK AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. DISCUSSION OF THE MOTION. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB, I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK IN FAVOR. I APPRECIATE MR. BOYCE'S CLARIFICATION ON WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMETHING HAPPENS. NOT THINKING THAT OF COURSE A SECURITY DEPOSIT IS ONLY GOOD FOR SO MUCH ANYWAY AND DAMAGE COULD EASILY EXCEED THAT. AND OF COURSE, WE HAVE A COURSE OF ACTION IN THE CONTRACT IF THAT EVER HAPPENS. SO NOW THE SECURITY DEPOSIT IS JUST A SMALLER AMOUNT, MUCH, MUCH SMALLER AMOUNT. SO IT'S IT GETS US TO THE SAME PLACE. SO I'M SATISFIED WITH THAT EXPLANATION. SO I'LL BE VOTING. YES. THANK YOU. AND I'LL SPEAK ON THIS AS WELL I, I LIKE HAVING THE SECURITY DEPOSIT THERE. I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE CHANGING IT UP A LITTLE BIT, BUT I THINK THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO GO IS TO HAVE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO USE OUR GROUNDS KNOW THAT THIS IS HERE AND KNOW THAT THERE IS A WAY FOR THEM TO GET THIS WAIVER. OBVIOUSLY, WE CAN HAVE MORE DISCUSSIONS IN OTHER MEETINGS LATER THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR ABOUT WHETHER WE SHOULD CHANGE THIS OR NOT, BUT I DO LIKE THAT THIS IS HERE AS SECURITY DEPOSIT, SO PEOPLE WILL KNOW THAT IT'S THERE IF THEY WANT TO USE THE RODEO GROUNDS, AND IF THEY CAN'T, THEN THEY CAN COME FORWARD, JUST LIKE YOU GUYS DID.

AND, YOU KNOW, MAKE SURE THAT THOSE WAIVERS CAN GO AHEAD. SO THIS TIME WE WILL MOVE TO A VOTE SINCE WE HAVE THE MOTION AND THE SECOND. VICE CHAIR. WHITELOCK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. GREEN. YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. BARDO. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES.

CHAIR. LIAM. YES. THANK YOU. I SHOW THE MOTION PASSES 6 TO 0. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. GIVE MR. ANDERSON THE DATES SO WE CAN MAKE SURE WE COME BY. ALRIGHT. STARTING NEXT WEEK. ALRIGHT?

[d. Ordinance No. 25-14 amending West Jordan City Code Section 14-5-5 regarding Stub Streets]

[01:05:05]

ALRIGHT. WE'LL NOW MOVE TO OUR FINAL PUBLIC HEARING OF THE NIGHT. ORDINANCE NUMBER 2514, AMENDING WEST JORDAN CITY CODE, SECTION 14 DASH FIVE FIVE REGARDING STUB STREETS. ALAN ANDERSON, YOU ARE UP AGAIN. YEAH. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN ON THE COUNCIL'S TABLE FOR A FEW MONTHS. JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THE BACKGROUND BACK IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER, YOU MAY REMEMBER A DEVELOPMENT THAT CAME GEM APARTMENTS THAT HAD A MAJOR VARIATION THAT WAS PROPOSED. THE COUNCIL ADOPTED AN AMENDMENT TO THE ORDINANCE. THE MAYOR VETOED THAT ORDINANCE. THE COUNCIL OVERRODE THAT VETO AND EXPRESS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THE STUB STREET ORDINANCE IS CURRENTLY WORDED, SO THE SPONSORS OF COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON AND COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN. THEY SPONSORED SOME AMENDMENTS TO THIS SECTION OF CODE. ONCE THEY CAME UP WITH THE DRAFT, THEY MET WITH THE ENGINEERS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TO MAKE SURE THEY THEY THEY SOUGHT TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT WOULD RELATE TO THE CITY. SO THEY THEY MET WITH THEM. IT CAME BACK TO THE COUNCIL ON FEBRUARY 11TH FOR A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING, WHERE SOME DISCUSSIONS AND SOME SMALL TWEAKS WERE SUGGESTED. THE ATTORNEYS WORKED ON THAT AND BROUGHT UP TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION ON MARCH 4TH, 2025. SOME OF THE CHANGES ARE OUTLINED. REGULATIONS FOR THE STREET LAYOUTS IN NEW SUBDIVISION CONNECTING EXISTING STUB STREETS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT DEALS WITH UTILITIES, WATER AND SEWER, WHICH ARE IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. MANDATE INSTALLATION OF STREET NAME AND TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNS, FOLLOWING THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN AND OTHER BULLETS THAT ARE ON THE REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION. SO WE'RE JUST BRINGING IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL. IT'S BEEN TO. THE PLANNING COMMISSION WAS APPROVED SIX ZERO. AND MR. DUNCAN MURRAY, WHO IS THE ATTORNEY THAT HELPED DRAFT IT, IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE. BUT THIS IS THIS IS BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR FINAL ACTION. HOPEFULLY. ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. MURRAY FROM ANY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS? ALL RIGHT. I SEE NO QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. SO I WILL MOVE TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT OF THIS PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE ANYBODY THAT'S IN THE ROOM IF THEY'D LIKE TO COME MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT TO COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME. ALL RIGHT. WE SEE NONE HERE IN THE ROOM. MR. ANDERSON, ARE THERE ANY ONLINE HAVE THEIR HANDS RAISED? THERE IS NO ONE ONLINE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I WILL THEN CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS AND I WILL LOOK FOR DISCUSSION OR A MOTION TO THE ORDINANCE. COUNCILMEMBER GREEN, I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE STAFF FOR WORKING WITH US. I KNOW THAT WHEN WE WHEN WE FIRST PROPOSED THIS, I THINK THERE WAS SOME PEOPLE THAT WERE SCREAMING OVER ON THE SECOND FLOOR GOING, NO, BUT I THINK WE GOT TO A GOOD I THINK WE GOT TO A GOOD PLACE WHERE. WE CAN WE DON'T HAVE TO CONNECT NEIGHBORHOODS IF WE THEY DON'T WORK TO CONNECT NEIGHBORHOODS. AND THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS ORDINANCE IS AS YOU LOOK THROUGH, YOU SEE ALL THOSE RED LINES. THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF DELETE DELETING OF ORDINANCES. THAT AND ALTHOUGH WE ADDED SOME BACK, THERE'S A LOT OF RED THERE. AND SO THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF WHO WORKED ON THAT.

THANKS TO COUNCILMAN SHELTON FOR CALLING ME AND SAYING, YOU WANT TO WORK ON THIS BECAUSE WE GOT TO FIX THIS. SO I'M GLAD THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO FIX THIS. AND FOR THOSE THAT ARE SITTING OUT HERE, THIS WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF NEIGHBORS SHOWING UP TO A PUBLIC HEARING ABOUT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT IT CONNECTED TO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THEY WERE WORRIED ABOUT TRAFFIC. AND THAT WAS THE HISTORY THAT MR. ANDERSON GAVE. AND SO IT'S NICE THAT WE CAN. IMPLEMENT SOME ORDINANCES THAT ACTUALLY, BASED ON RESIDENT FEEDBACK, COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK, DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT OR CAN I. OKAY. MY COMMENT IS JUST THOSE SAME NEIGHBORS THAT YOU CALLED OUT WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS ORDINANCE CHANGE BECAUSE IT WOULD AFFECT THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS ALSO MY NEIGHBORHOOD. SO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BECAUSE WE HAVE A DIFFERENT USE COMING IN ON A STUB STREET. SO I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT UP, AND I APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL DOING WHAT WE FEEL IS RIGHT, EVEN IF WE GET PUSHBACK. WITH THAT. I'M GOING TO MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2514 AMENDING WEST JORDAN CITY CODE SECTION 14

[01:10:07]

FIVE FIVE. COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER GREEN, A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. ANY MORE DISCUSSION TO THE MOTION? NO. ALL RIGHT, LET'S VOTE. CHAIR. LIAM. YES. VICE CHAIR WHITELOCK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. BADOR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. GREEN. YES. THANK YOU. I SHOW THE MOTION PASSES 6 TO 0. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THAT'S IT FOR OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS TONIGHT.

[c. Resolution No. 25-009 approving amendments to Council Policies and Procedures]

WE WILL NOW MOVE TO BUSINESS ITEMS. AND WE HAVE ONE BUSINESS ITEM UP TONIGHT, WHICH IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 25 009, APPROVING COUNCIL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. AND I'LL TAKE THE LEAD ON THIS ONE. SO REAL QUICK, WE'VE HAD TWO COMMITTEE OF THE HOLES TO DISCUSS AND DEBATE WHAT THESE ARE. AND WE'VE ALSO HAD ONE CITY COUNCIL MEETING WHERE WE DID SOME DISCUSSION AND SENT IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL OF THE WHOLE. SO TONIGHT I DO ASK THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY DEBATE ON THIS, BUT I DO ASK THAT IF YOU STILL WANT TO MAKE SOME PUBLIC COMMENTS ON IT FROM THE COUNCIL, GO RIGHT AHEAD AND THEN WE CAN MOVE INTO VOTING ON THIS TONIGHT. SO LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE COUNCILMEMBER GREEN. DO YOU WANT TO WAIT ON THAT OR DO WE HAVE I WAS GOING TO MAKE A MOTION BUT I'LL WAIT. WE HAVE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR ANY THOUGHTS BEFORE WE MAKE A MOTION. VICE CHAIR WHITLOCK TONIGHT I'M GOING TO BE VOTING AGAINST THIS I. EVEN TONIGHT WE DIDN'T FILL THE CHAMBERS AND IT'S ONLY 810. AND WE HAD SEVERAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS SPEAK. AND I STRUGGLE WITH THE PORTION WHERE WE ARE CUTTING DOWN OUR PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD TO ONLY AN HOUR. SO MOST OF THIS I THINK IS GOOD, BUT I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT I DON'T FEEL WE SHOULD EVER CUT OUT THE PUBLIC.

AND I KNOW THAT WE CAN STILL VOTE. WE THAT WHAT IT WOULD TAKE FOR TO EXTEND THE TIME. AND I'M OKAY IF RESIDENTS SHOW UP AND I HAVE TO SIT HERE FOR 3 OR 4 HOURS TO HEAR THEIR CONCERNS. SO FOR THAT REASON, I'LL BE VOTING NO, THANK YOU, CHAIR, THANK YOU. AND I'LL JUST MAKE MY COMMENT, WHICH I MADE BEFORE. AND THIS IS NOTHING, YOU KNOW, SINGLING ANYBODY OUT. BUT IT BASICALLY THE MECHANISM IS THERE JUST TO HELP US IF WE NEED IT. BUT LIKE YOU SAID, WE HAVEN'T HAD TO USE IT. WE HAVEN'T HAD TO CUT OFF PUBLIC COMMENT. AND I BELIEVE IF IT CAME UP THAT WE NEEDED TO, WE WOULD THE VOTE WOULD COME THROUGH AND IT WOULD ALLOW MORE PEOPLE TO SPEAK. SO I, I DO FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT. AND THAT'S WHY I'LL BE VOTING YES TONIGHT. AND SO FROM THERE WE'LL LOOK FOR A MOTION. COUNCILMEMBER GREEN, I'M GOING TO MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 20 5-009. SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER GREEN AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB. ANY MORE DISCUSSION TO THE MOTION? SEEING NONE. LET'S VOTE. COUNCIL MEMBER BADOR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER.

VICE CHAIR. WHITELOCK. NO. I SHOW THE MOTION PASSES 4 TO 2. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE WILL

[a. City Council Reports]

NOW MOVE TO REPORTS TO COUNCIL AND WE WILL START WITH OUR CITY COUNCIL REPORTS. AND LOOKS LIKE I HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN UP FIRST. YEAH, I BUZZED IN FIRST COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT TO THANK THE OWNERS FOR THE APPLEBEE'S GRAND OPENING IN THEIR HOSPITALITY THE OTHER WEEKEND.

IT WAS IT WAS ACTUALLY A REALLY GOOD EXPERIENCE. I GOT TO SIT WITH AT LUNCH WITH THE FRANCHISE OWNER WHO LIVES IN A NEIGHBORING TOWN. WE WON'T MENTION THEIR NAME, BUT TO THE TO THE EAST.

BUT IT WAS GOOD TO LEARN ABOUT HIS BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY AND EVERYTHING. AND IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT THAT APPLEBEE'S IS BACK OPEN IN WEST JORDAN CITY. WE I DID ATTEND REMOTELY BECAUSE I GOT THE I GOT THE EMAIL 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE MEETING. IT SAID, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN A MEETING IN MURREE. AND I WAS IN DRAPER AND I THOUGHT, I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT. SO I ATTENDED THE ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPAL COUNCIL MEETING REMOTELY. SENATOR BLOWN. AND I THINK THAT'S HOW YOU SAY HIS NAME FROM MILLCREEK SALT LAKE AREA. AND SENATOR HARPER GAVE KIND OF A RECAP OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION. THE ONE, THE ONE THING THAT THEY POINTED OUT THAT I MISSED IN SOME OF THE LEGISLATION, AND THERE'S ONE THAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT, AND I THINK IT'S SENATE BILL 181. WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT. BUT THE ONE THAT I THINK WE REALLY NEED

[01:15:05]

TO SPEND SOME TIME ON IN THE FUTURE WOULD BE HOUSE BILL 386. IT DEFINES IT ACTUALLY DEFINES PARKING SPOTS AND THE FACT THAT GARAGES COUNT AS PARKING SPOTS TOWARDS THE REQUIRED PARKING AND A COUPLE OTHER THINGS. AND I THINK WE NEED TO REALLY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. AND IT DEFINES HOW BIG A DRIVEWAY OR A PARKING SPOT IN A DRIVEWAY CAN EVEN BE. AND THAT'S TALKING ABOUT DRIVEWAY LENGTH AT 20. AND I THINK WE HAVE SOME 22. SO THERE'S SOME WORK THAT I THINK WE NEED TO DO.

SO SOMEBODY'S PAYING ATTENTION TO THAT. WE OUGHT TO LOOK AT THAT. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST TO, TO THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE STILL HERE, THAT YOU YOU COMMENTED ABOUT STUFF. I MAKE THE COMMENT, WE ARE IN THE PROCESS. IF YOU DIDN'T SEE OUR WHAT WAS THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING AT THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE OR THE TIME BEFORE THAT? I DON'T KNOW IT ALL TOGETHER WE TALKED ABOUT THE GOOD LANDLORD PROGRAM, HOW TO REGULATE AIRBNB. AND SO YES, I WOULD HAVE YOU TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THAT STUFF AS IT COMES OUT. IF THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE NEED TO KNOW, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO EMAIL US. AND I'M GOING TO SEE IF I CAN GET SOME OF YOUR EMAIL. I GOT I THINK I HAVE COLLEEN'S EMAIL ON THIS FLIER, SO I'LL REACH OUT TO YOU SOMETIME HERE THIS WEEK. WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS, AND I THINK THAT MOST OF THE COUNCIL I'LL SPEAK FOR THE COUNCIL ON THIS ONE. WE HAD LONG DISCUSSIONS ON HOW THE GOOD LANDLORD PROGRAM SHOULD WORK TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO, TO KEEP THEIR PROPERTIES MAINTAINED. SO WE ARE WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME OF THOSE KIND OF THINGS. WHETHER WE CAN BE SUPER SUCCESSFUL, ONLY TIME WILL TELL. BUT THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR WHITELOCK, WE HAD OUR FINAL LEGISLATIVE WRAP UP MEETING. MANY, MANY LEGISLATORS PARTICIPATED. THE ONES FROM WEST JORDAN WERE SENATOR AND REPRESENTATIVE IVORY. SENATOR HARPER ALLUDED TO A LOT OF MONEY COMING TO THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT FOR TRANSPORTATION, BUT WOULD NOT NARROW THAT DOWN QUITE YET. SO HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET A GOOD CHUNK OF THAT FOR OUR CITY. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB, THANKS. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP ON WATER RATES FROM JORDAN VALLEY WATER. WE HAD OUR FIRST PRELIMINARY BUDGET DISCUSSION, NOT REALLY THE FIRST, BUT THE FIRST ONE THAT KIND OF NAILED DOWN SOME NUMBERS. AND WE'RE LOOKING AT 3.9%, IS THE WHOLESALE RATE INCREASE THAT JORDAN VALLEY WILL BE PASSING ON TO WEST JORDAN. HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS IN THAT WE HAVE DONE A LOT IN THE CITY IN THE TEN ISH YEARS, 12, 12 ISH YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE BUDGET AND WATER RATES IN THIS CITY. WE'VE DONE A LOT TO REDUCE THAT. PEAKING FACTOR, IS WHAT THEY CALL IT. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DON'T KNOW, OUR WHOLESALE WATER RATES FROM JORDAN VALLEY WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT ARE BASED ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS, BUT ONE OF THEM IS HOW MUCH WATER WE USE ON THE DRIEST, HOTTEST, MOST WATER USE INTENSIVE DAY OF THE YEAR. IT'S USUALLY SOMEWHERE TOWARD THE END OF JULY, BUT THEY TAKE THAT HIGHEST WATER USE AND THEY FIGURE THAT IN BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE US THAT MUCH WATER. SO WE HAVE WORKED ON WATER STORAGE SOLUTIONS AND WELLS AND SOME OTHER THINGS TO REDUCE THAT PEAK FACTOR, THAT PEAK DAY FACTOR IN OUR WATER RATES. AND AS A RESULT, OUR WATER RATES. YES, THEY'RE GOING UP 3.9%. OUR WHOLESALE RATES THIS YEAR, THE AVERAGE FOR ALL OF THEIR WHOLESALE CUSTOMERS IS 4.9%. SO WE HAVE DONE SOME GOOD WORK IN THAT. WE ARE NOW ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THAT CURVE. AND YES, THE RATES STILL GO UP. I KNOW THAT'S BAD, BUT WE ARE WE ARE ONE OF THOSE BRINGING THE AVERAGE DOWN, NOT PUSHING THE AVERAGE UP. SO WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB WITH WATER CONSERVATION, WITH OUR SUPPLY, WITH OUR STORAGE, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. SO WE'VE DONE WE'VE DONE SOME GOOD WORK IN THE CITY. SO JUST WANTED TO PASS THAT ON. THOSE RATES ARE NOT THAT'S NOT FINAL YET. THEY'RE STILL BUDGET DISCUSSIONS. AND THERE'S RATES AND PROPERTY TAXES THAT THEY'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT. SO FINAL NUMBERS TO COME. BUT THAT'S WHAT'S IN THE PROPOSED TENTATIVE BUDGET SO FAR THAT WE'LL BE VOTING ON TOMORROW. THANK YOU. LOOKS LIKE WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE COMMENTS FOR TONIGHT. SO I

[b. Council Office Report]

WILL MOVE TO MR. ANDERSON. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FROM THE COUNCIL OFFICE TO REPORT ON? I DO JUST JUST TWO THINGS. COUNCIL NUMBER ONE, JUST THE EMAIL THAT RESIDENTS CAN USE TO CONTACT THE COUNCIL IS COUNCIL COMMENTS AT WEST JORDAN UTAH.GOV JUST SO THAT THEY'VE GOT AN EMAIL ADDRESS TO USE ON THAT. THERE'S ALSO A VOICEMAIL NUMBER (800) 156-9505 TWO. I'M SECOND

[01:20:10]

GUESSING MYSELF ON THAT NUMBER. IT'S PROBABLY ONLINE SOMEWHERE. IT IS ONLINE ON THE WEB. BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT IS HERE. LET ME MAKE SURE I HAVE IT CORRECT. OTHERWISE I GAVE YOU IT IT SUPPORT. THE SECOND THING IS YOU SAW THESE YELLOW CARDS. WE'RE JUST GOING TO CALL THEM YELLOW CARDS. THEY'RE KIND OF VISIBLE. YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THEM IN THE BACK AND ON THE ON THE DESK UP HERE. THIS WILL HAVE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'VE ASKED US TO DO. AND NOW WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE COUNCIL, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. WE WILL BE HAVING A NEW LOOK TO OUR AGENDA, COMPLETE WITH THE REGISTRATION FOR ZOOM THAT YOU'VE ASKED FOR, WHICH WILL BE LIKE THE YELLOW CARDS. IT'LL BE CLEANER, A CLEANER AGENDA. AND I JUST WANT TO PUBLICLY THANK OUR STAFF, WARREN AND CINDY, WHO HAVE PUT AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF TIME INTO HAVING IT LOOK REALLY GOOD AND BE INFORMATIVE AND TRANSPARENT TO THE PUBLIC AS THEY USE IT. AND I'LL SEND SOME SHOTS OVER AT THAT, SCREENSHOTS OF THAT OVER TO YOU. AND THE NUMBER IS CORRECT. 58015695052 THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU CHAIR. THANK YOU. CORBIN, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING FOR THE MAYOR

[d. City Administrator’s Report]

TONIGHT OR IS IT ALL YOU. YEAH. YOU'RE STUCK JUST WITH ME. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MAYOR. MAYOR BURTON LOVES RIDING HIS BIKE. HIS SPENDING THE ENTIRE WEEK BIKING FROM HERE TO SAINT GEORGE BY WAY OF SOUTHERN, SOUTHEASTERN UTAH. SO HE'S MAKING A LOOP PRETTY MUCH AROUND MAJORITY OF THE STATE. HE'LL BE IN SAINT GEORGE FOR THE LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS CONFERENCE. I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A COUPLE UPDATES ON THE FROM THE FROM THE CEO REPORT. YOU KNOW, WE'RE BUILDING THE WATER TANK AT THE CEMETERY SITE NEXT TO SALT LAKE COMMUNITY COLLEGE OVER ON 90TH SOUTH. WE'VE HAD SOME STOP AND GOES AS WE FOUND SOME SMALL ISSUES WITH CONCRETE, WE MADE THEM TEAR OUT PART OF THE CONCRETE AND REPORT IT TO MAKE SURE THAT MET ALL SPECS. THE WALLS ARE GOING UP NOW. IT'S MOVING QUICKLY. WE'RE IN THE PHASE WHERE YOU'LL START TO SEE PROGRESS HAPPEN QUICKLY ON THAT SITE. IT'S BACK ON TRACK AND SHOULD FINISH UP LATER THIS YEAR. THAT WATER TANK IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR SERVING CUSTOMERS DOWN IN THE ZONE ONE PRESSURE AREA, WHICH IS WHERE WE ARE HERE, CLOSER TO REDWOOD ROAD. THAT WATER TANK IS PARTIALLY FUNDED BY RDA BECAUSE THE WATER FROM THAT TANK HELPS US DEVELOP AND GROW AND REDEVELOP DOWN HERE IN THE CITY CENTER AREA. FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. JUST WANT TO LET YOU BE AWARE OF TWO THINGS. ONE, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DOES AN ANNUAL FIRE STATION RUN WHERE THEY START OUT RUNNING FROM STATION TO STATION, AND THEN THE NEW RECRUITS SIGN THE PLEDGE THAT IS GOING TO BE ON MAY 3RD. IF YOU WANT TO RUN WITH THEM FROM FIRE STATION 5055 ALL THE WAY IN, THEY START AT 7:15 A.M. I KNOW A COUPLE OF YOU ARE RUNNERS. THAT'S COVERING THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE CITY. IF YOU WANT TO START A LITTLE BIT LATER AND START JUST AT STATION 53 AND RUN FROM 53 TO 52, I THINK THEY'RE LEAVING STATION 53 MUCH LATER, 830 OR 9:00 LATER IN THE MORNING. FINALLY, YOU PROBABLY NOTICED MARIE'S SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH AND OTHER TRADITIONAL MEDIA OUTREACH. SEASONAL CANS HAVE STARTED THIS PAST WEEK. THIS IS OUR FIRST FULL WEEK OF PICKING UP THE SEASONAL CANS. SO WHAT COLOR IS THAT? SO WE'RE REALLY FORTUNATE IN OUR COMMUNITY. A LITTLE MORE THAN SIX MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR, YOU GET AN EXTRA GARBAGE CAN FOR YOUR GREEN WASTE, FOR ANY WASTE THAT OCCURS FROM ALL THE EXTRA ACTIVITY DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THOSE CANS WE END PICKING UP THOSE GREEN CANS IN NOVEMBER. THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR TONIGHT. THANK YOU. I HAD A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU. WHAT WAS THE UPDATE ON THAT? THE WATER LINE THAT GOT CHOPPED. DID WE WAS THAT A QUICK FIX ON THE WATER LINE? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE WATER LINE AT OLD BINGHAM HIGHWAY? SO THAT WAS NOT OUR WATER LINE. IT WAS A 48 INCH MAIN TRANSMISSION LINE FROM JORDAN VALLEY. IT WAS STRUCK BY A CONTRACTOR THAT WAS RUNNING A VERY BIG FIBER OPTIC LINE FOR THE DATA CENTERS THAT ARE OUT THERE. SO JORDAN VALLEY AND THE CONTRACTORS FIXED IT, BUT IT WAS A IT WAS A PRETTY BIG FIX. IT TOOK THEM THE BETTER PART OF A DAY WORKING THROUGH THE NIGHT TO GET IT FIXED. IT DIDN'T AFFECT OUR WATER, THOUGH. IT DID NOT AFFECT OUR WATER. IT AFFECTED

[01:25:04]

SOUTH JORDAN'S ABILITY TO TAKE WATER OUT OF THAT TRANSMISSION LINE A LITTLE MORE THAN US. WE WERE WE HAD OTHER MEANS OF GETTING WATER OUT TO THAT PART OF THE CITY. SO WE WERE FINE.

THANK YOU. THEN MY LAST COMMENT ON THE ON THE SEASONAL CAN THAT IS GREEN. I ALWAYS FEEL MINE UP AT THE END OF NOVEMBER BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON LEAVES. THEY USED TO LIKE FALL IN NOVEMBER, THEY FALL IN DECEMBER. AND SO IT WAS NICE TO FINALLY EMPTY MY GARBAGE CAN AFTER SITTING FOR PROBABLY THREE MONTHS WITH FULL OF LEAVES FROM DECEMBER. SO I WAS EXCITED TO HAVE IT OUT TODAY AND FINALLY HAVE AN EMPTY GREEN CAN. SO THANK YOU! YES, I KNOW THOSE LEAVES ARE NOT GOOD COMPOST. OH AND BY THE WAY, I HAVE ONE TREE IN MY YARD, BUT I HAVE LOTS OF LEAVES FROM THE
