[b. Ordinance No. 25-12, Amending Sections 13-13-1 Through 13-13-10 Inclusive (Landscaping Requirements; In Particular, Adding Requirements for Single-Family Residential Landscaping and Removing Landscape Bonding Requirements).]

SHOW THAT MOTION PASSES 6 TO 0. ALRIGHT. BUSINESS ITEM B, ORDINANCE NUMBER 25, DASH 12.

MANY SECTIONS 13, 13, ONE THROUGH 13, 13, TEN INCLUSIVE. LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS IN PARTICULAR ADDING REQUIREMENTS FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPING AND REMOVING LANDSCAPING BONDING REQUIREMENTS. LARRY GARDNER, YOUR TURN. GOOD EVENING COUNCIL, A LOT OF RESPECT FOR YOUR TIME. DO YOU WANT ME TO GO THROUGH THESE ADDITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE OR. I KNOW WE'VE ALL SEEN THEM. DO YOU HAVE A JUST A QUICK SUMMARY? YEAH. SO LINE NUMBER 178 IS THE LANGUAGE USED TO BE REQUIRED TO FOLLOW. IT'S JUST AS THE NEW SINGLE FAMILY IS SHALL MEET THE WATER EFFICIENCY STANDARDS. AND THAT KEEPS US IN GOOD GRACES WITH THE STATE OF UTAH. HOPEFULLY AT THIS TIME. AND THEN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL IS NOT REQUIRED.

EXCUSE ME. THAT'S LAND NUMBER 181. BUT THEY SHALL MAINTAIN THEIR LANDSCAPING AND LIGHTING, EVEN IF THEY'RE WHEN THEY'RE CHANGING THEIR EXISTING LANDSCAPING. THE OWNER IS ENCOURAGED. ENCOURAGED TO FOLLOW THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS CHAPTER. LINE 239. IT SAYS THE CITY RECOMMENDS THAT ENOUGH LANDSCAPING BE INSTALLED TO CREATE A 50% LIVING PLANT, COVER MATURITY. AND THIS IS IN THE WATER EFFICIENCY STANDARDS. LINE 241. LAWNS ON TURF ARE PROHIBITED FROM BEING INSTALLED IN PARK STRIPS AND AREAS LESS THAN EIGHT FEET WIDE, AND THAT KEEPS US AGAIN FOLLOWING THE STATE GUIDELINES. AND AGAIN, ANYTHING, ANY HOME IS PROHIBITED FROM EXCEEDING 250FT■!S OF SOLID LAWN OR TURF IN THE FRONT YARD OF SO WE CAN PUT IN A WHOLE BED OF ROCKS, BUT NOT TURF. YOU CAN. THERE'S NO ONE TO EXCLUDE. ALL RIGHT. YEAH, I HAVE THE SAME THING ABOUT ROCKS, BUT ALL RIGHT. AND THEN 365, IT BASICALLY A NEW SINGLE FAMILY CONSTRUCTION. IT IS JUST MARRIES TO WATER EFFICIENCY STANDARDS. AND FINALLY, ON 457. IT IS MR.

[00:45:08]

BENNETT SAID IN HIS COMMENT IT REQUIRES HOMEOWNERS TO MAINTAIN THEIR LANDSCAPING RATHER THAN.

AND WHAT THAT DOES IS IT GIVES OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, THEY CAN GO OUT AND REQUIRE SOMEONE TO AT LEAST MAINTAIN THEIR YARD AND NOT HAVE IT, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS THAT ONE HOUSE IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT RUNS DOWN THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO BE DOING AT LEAST THE BARE MINIMUM, YOU KNOW, WITH WEEDS AND DEAD PLANTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO ANYWAY, THAT'S IT. ANY QUESTIONS? LARRY, FROM OUR SIDE WITH THE CITY, DO WE PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO THE DEVELOPERS FOR THE NEW ONES? AND THEY THEY SHOW THOSE TO THE PEOPLE WHEN THEY BUY THE HOMES. AND I KNOW THE MAJORITY OF DEVELOPERS ARE ACTUALLY PUTTING IN THE FRONT YARD. IT SEEMS LIKE. YEAH. OKAY. SO FOR ANY RESIDENTS ON OUR WEBSITE, WE HAVE A LANDSCAPE GUIDEBOOK THAT WAS, BY AND LARGE, TAKEN FROM THE JORDAN VALLEY WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT. AND THAT'S AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE TO EVERYONE. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE WITH QUESTIONS FOR LARRY? LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE COUNCILMEMBER GREEN. HAVE WE PULLED THE BRADFORD PEAR OUT OF THAT BOOK? SURE. OKAY. THAT'S ISN'T THAT ISN'T THAT THE PEAR THAT CAUSES ALL THE PROBLEMS IN THE PARK STRIPS? AND I DON'T THINK IT'S A STREET OF FRUIT TREES TRAINED FOR MANY YEARS. IT USED TO BE, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT THERE ANYMORE. I KNOW THERE WAS A BID TO GET EDITORIAL IN THE TRIB NOT TOO LONG AGO ABOUT DUMPING THAT ONE PEAR TREE AND TRYING TO GET RID OF THEM, SO. OKAY. I'LL MAKE SURE. YEAH. I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS MY THANKS TO PATRICK. WE, WE WENT BACK AND FORTH HOW MANY EMAILS ON THE WORDING OF TWO LINES. SO WAS IT SIX. OKAY. I STILL DON'T LIKE THE WORDING, BUT HEY, YOU KNOW, WE'LL LIVE WITH IT. SO ANYWAY, YEAH, IF YOU REMEMBER, WE DID I, I PROPOSED TO SUBSTITUTE JUST BECAUSE OF A COUPLE OF LANGUAGE AND THEY WENT BACK AND EVEN WORKED ON IT SOME MORE. SO THANK YOU. YOU WANT TO GIVE US A MOTION? SURE. OH, SOMEHOW I STOLE IT. OH, I MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 25, DASH 12, AMENDING SECTIONS 1313, DASH ONE THROUGH 13, 1310, INCLUSIVE. SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON AND A SECOND BY VICE CHAIR WHITELOCK. DISCUSSION TO THE MOTION. VICE CHAIR WHITELOCK. I JUST WANT TO THANK STAFF FOR WORKING ON IT. AS YOU RECALL, WHEN I WENT ON MY RIDE ALONG, IT WAS SOMETHING THAT THE CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER BROUGHT TO LIGHT FOR ME THAT THAT PERHAPS WE NEEDED TO HAVE SOMETHING. AND I FEEL THIS REALLY WORKS WELL TO HELP WITH WHAT WE'VE SAID. WE WANT ESTHETICS IN OUR CITY TO BE A PRIORITY. SO THANK YOU, STAFF.

ALL RIGHT. SEEING NO OTHER DISCUSSION, LET'S VOTE. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB. YES. VICE CHAIR WHITELOCK. RESOUNDING, YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. BADOR. YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER. GREEN. YES. AND CHAIR. LAMB. YES. THANK YOU. I SHALL THE MOTION PASSES 6 TO 0.

[a. City Council Reports]

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL NOW MOVE TO REPORTS TO COUNCIL. WE WILL START WITH OUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND LOOKS LIKE FIRST LINE. I HAVE VICE CHAIR WHITELOCK. THANK YOU. JUST A BIG SHOUT OUT TO STAFF AND SORRY JAGUARS THAT OUR COPPER HILLS GRIZZLIES WERE A BIG HELP FOR THE EGG HUNT. IT TAKES LIKE HOURS TO PREPARE THAT EGG HUNT. AND THE CHILDREN FIND THOUSANDS OF EGGS WITHIN. IT SEEMS LIKE TWO MINUTES IF YOU'RE LATE. IT'S REALLY SAD BECAUSE THEY'RE DONE, BUT IT WAS A GREAT TIME. I APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO GO TO UTAH LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS.

I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OUR MR. ANDERSON THAT ARE COMING IN. OR HAVE ONE IS AND I KNOW BASED ON THINGS THAT WE LEARNED THEN JUST KIND OF A FUNNY STORY. WENT TO A OPEN HOUSE FOR GARBETT HOMES, A TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT IN OUR CITY. AND THE GENTLEMAN WAS

[00:50:05]

TELLING US, I THINK HE IS LIKE THE ARCHITECT OR SOMETHING. HE WAS TELLING US ALL ABOUT THE HOMES, BUT THEN WE WENT OUTSIDE AND HE SAID, AND NOTICE OUR WATER WISE LANDSCAPING. AND HE ACTED LIKE THAT WAS SO GREAT. I SAID, OH, THAT'S GREAT. YOU FOLLOWED CITY CODE. I'M GLAD YOU DID THAT. COUNCILMEMBER GREEN. I TOO WANT TO THANK. THE STAFF FOR THE EASTER EGG HUNT. FOR THOSE OF YOU SITTING OUT THERE AND YOU DON'T KNOW, OUR EASTER EGG HUNT IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW THAT ARE HAVE AN AREA FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES, AND I GOT TO TALK TO A COUPLE OF PARENTS THIS YEAR ABOUT THIS IS THEIR CHILDREN. THEIR THIS IS THEIR CHILD SOON TO BE ADOPTED CHILD FOSTER CHIL.

SOMETHING CHILD'S FIRST EASTER EGG HUNT. SHE'S PROBABLY 4 OR 5 BASED ON WHAT I WHAT I COULD OBSERVE. AND IT WAS THE FIRST EASTER EGG HUNT BECAUSE SHE LIVED SHE'S LIVED MOST OF HER LIFE IN A HOSPITAL. SO THAT WAS THAT WAS FANTASTIC. YES. I TOO WAS GLAD THAT WE COULD GO TO UTAH. LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS. THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS ON WATER THAT CAME UP AND A COUPLE OF BILLS THAT EVEN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT WONDER HOW WE'RE IMPLEMENTING THOSE.

AND SO THERE ARE A COUPLE OF I KNOW THERE'S AT LEAST ONE RCA IN ON WATER BECAUSE I PUT IT THERE.

SO IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO TALK ABOUT THAT. I WAS ABLE TO GO A WEEK A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, WHENEVER THE 14TH WAS WAS THE MOSQUITO. ABATEMENT DISTRICT BOARD MEMBER. SO, MARIE, WHEREVER YOU'RE AT, THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE MOSQUITO ABATEMENT DISTRICT. THERE WILL BE IN MAY. WE'RE GOING TO START THE TRUTH IN TAXATION PROCESS. THERE WILL BE A MINOR I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS. WE'LL FIGURE OUT. IT'LL BE IT'LL BE A LITTLE BIT OF A TAX INCREASE FOR THE MOSQUITO ABATEMENT BECAUSE THEIR COSTS ARE GOING UP. LUCKILY, THAT ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH TARIFFS DOESN'T HURT THEM BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY BOUGHT THEIR MOST OF THEIR CHEMICALS FOR THIS YEAR. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IF, IF, IF YOU SAW THAT THE CITY'S FACEBOOK PAGE OR WERE INVOLVED IN YOUR OWN RAIN BARRELS, THE QUESTION CAME UP IN THE LAST MEETING ABOUT IF I HAVE A RAIN BARREL, DO I GET MOSQUITOES IN MY BACKYARD? AND IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO ASK THAT QUESTION BECAUSE COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON ASKED ME THAT AND IT CAME UP AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO ASK IT. SO THAT WAS GOOD. BUT IF YOU DO HAVE A RAIN BARREL, ALL YOU NEED IS A TIGHT MESH, YOU KNOW, LIKE A REALLY TIGHT WINDOW SCREEN MESH. THAT'S THAT'S GOT THE VERY SMALL HOLES THAT, THAT OVER YOUR RAIN BARREL WILL PREVENT THE MOSQUITOES FROM HATCHING IN THERE AND, AND THE, THE RAIN BARRELS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE CITY. IF YOU HAVEN'T BOUGHT ONE, THEY ALSO THEY'RE ALREADY PRE DONE WITH THE SCREENS. SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MOSQUITOES IF YOU HAVE A RAIN BARREL. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO REPORT ON SOMETHING THAT THAT I HEARD AT THE LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS THAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE SPREADS FAR AND WIDE. WE ALL HEARD IT, THAT WE'RE THERE. ARTHUR BROOKS IS AN AUTHOR AND A HARVARD PROFESSOR WHO WAS OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKER. AND HE TALKED ABOUT THE DIVISION THAT WE SEE IN POLITICAL LIFE AND IN JUST OUR SOCIETY IN GENERAL. RIGHT. AND HOW SOCIAL MEDIA EXACERBATES THIS BY ONLY SHOWING YOU CONTENT THAT REINFORCES WHAT YOU ALREADY BELIEVE. SO YOU YOU LIVE IN YOUR OWN LITTLE ECHO CHAMBER, AND YOU THINK THAT ANYBODY WHO COULD POSSIBLY DISAGREE WITH YOU MUST BE CRAZY BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT EXPOSED TO THE OTHER SIDE OF ANY ISSUE. YOU'RE ONLY EXPOSED TO THE THINGS THAT YOU ALREADY AGREE WITH. BECAUSE ALGORITHMS AND STUFF. SO HE SAID, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO TO HEAL OUR COUNTRY, AND I'LL SAY IT TO HEAL OUR CITY AND ANY OTHER GROUP OR COMMUNITY THAT

[00:55:01]

YOU CHOOSE TO BE A PART OF, HE SAID. STAND UP TO THE MAN. AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN TO STAND UP TO, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WHO ARE IN CHARGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, HE SAID. STAND UP TO THE PEOPLE WHO AGREE WITH YOU ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH YOU. WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME THAT THAT THAT WE'RE WE'RE WILLING TO STAND AND DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF THOSE WHOSE TEAM WE'RE ON, BUT WE'RE NOT, AS ALWAYS, WILLING TO STAND UP AND DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF THOSE WHOSE TEAM WERE NOT ON.

AND WE HAVE TO WE HAVE TO GET PAST THAT, AND WE HAVE TO WE HAVE TO. WE HAVE TO STAND UP FOR THE FOR THE RIGHTS OF EVERYBODY, OR WE'RE STANDING FOR THE RIGHTS OF NOBODY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT. SO IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT I HEARD THERE WAS A LOT MORE TO IT. IF THERE'S A RECORDING OF THAT SOMEWHERE AVAILABLE, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO FIND IT AND WATCH IT. IF THERE'S NOT ONE YET, I'M HOPE SOMEBODY PUTS ONE OUT THERE. IT WAS. IT WAS TRULY AMAZING. REALLY, REALLY POWERFUL. YOU KNOW, 40 MINUTES OR WHATEVER HE SPOKE FOR. SO JUST WANTED TO PASS THAT ON FOR EVERYBODY WHO'S HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE PEOPLE HERE. SO THERE YOU GO. ALL RIGHT. COUNCILMEMBER, I JUST QUICKLY WANTED TO GIVE THE EVENTS TEAM ANOTHER SHOUT OUT FOR THE EASTER CELEBRATION. I I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT KIDS MIGRATE AND WANT TO TALK TO. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE LITTLE BLESSINGS. AND SO MANY KIDS TALK TO ME ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY WERE ENJOYING THIS EVENT, HOW MUCH THEY LOVE IT, AND LOOK FORWARD TO IT. COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK HEARD ME TALK WITH SOME YOUNG GIRL WHO WAS STRETCHING OUT SO SHE WOULDN'T PULL A HAMMY WAS I THINK SHE WAS MAYBE FIVE, BUT IT WAS A GREAT TIME. I LOVED TALKING TO ALL THE KIDS, BUT WHAT I, WHAT I REALLY LOVE IS NOT ALL THE WORK THAT WENT INTO IT, BUT THE WORK TO BE THOUGHTFUL. NOT ONLY DID WE HAVE THE ADA SECTION, BUT COUNCILMEMBER GREEN AND I SPENT ABOUT A GOOD HALF HOUR AFTER THE EVENT HANDING OUT CANDY AND EGGS TO KIDS WHO GOT THERE A LITTLE LATE, OR WHO DIDN'T GET ENOUGH BECAUSE THEY GOT BOXED OUT. AND SO THERE'S SO MUCH THOUGHT THAT GOES INTO THAT. WITH THAT. I LOVE HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOW UP AT THAT. IT IS JUST PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. AND SO I'M GOING TO KEEP FIGHTING THAT. WE TAX OUR EVENTS TEAM A LITTLE MORE AND COME UP WITH SOME MORE EVENTS THAT BRING PEOPLE, NOT ONLY THE RESIDENTS OF WEST JORDAN DAYS, YOU KNOW, EVENTS THAT ARE FUN AND BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. BUT WE HAD SO MANY PEOPLE COME FROM OUTSIDE OF WEST JORDAN BECAUSE OF THINGS LIKE THE ADA AREA AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO LIKE I SAID, I LOVE EVERYTHING OUR EVENTS TEAM DID. UNFORTUNATELY, I'M GOING TO KEEP TRYING TO MAKE THEM DO MORE BECAUSE THEY DO IT SO WELL. AND I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR OUR CITY TO BE ABLE TO DO THESE EVENTS THAT BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER. ALL RIGHT. FROM THERE, WE WILL MOVE

[b. Council Office Report]

TO OUR CITY COUNCIL OFFICE REPORT. MR. ANDERSON, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT ON TONIGHT? I DO HAVE A FEW THINGS. YOU PROBABLY HAVE NOTICED THE GREEN LIGHT AT THE LECTERN. THAT IS THE NEW MIC THAT WE'VE REPLACED THAT HAS A MORE CONICAL RANGE SO IT CAN HEAR, HEAR PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, ONE, 2 OR 3 PEOPLE THAT WOULD MIGHT BE AT THE LECTERN. SO THAT'S THAT'S A NEW THING. WE'VE GOT. OUR PROVIDER WAS HERE YESTERDAY FOR NINE HOURS HELPING WITH SOME PROGRAMING ISSUES AS YOU'RE ALL WELL AWARE OF. SO NOW THE WORK ROOM AND THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS ARE INTEGRATED. IT WORKED REALLY WELL TONIGHT. SO WHAT WOULD ESPECIALLY WITH THE CROWD THAT WE HAD IN THE WORK ROOM, WE HAD OVERFLOW IN THIS ROOM AND THEY COULD SEE THE PRESENTATION. THEY COULD HEAR YOU SPEAK FROM THE WORK ROOM. THAT WORKED REALLY WELL IN THE WITH THE ADDITION OF THIS MICROPHONE, BECAUSE THIS ROOM COULD HAVE MULTIPLE USES AND WE HAVE THE PARTITION AND THE AND THE BACK HALF THAT COULD BE RENTED OUT BY RESIDENTS AS LIKE A CONFERENCE ROOM. WE HAVE ADDED A WIRELESS MIC SYSTEM AS WELL AS A LAPEL SYSTEM, SO THAT WHEN THE PARTITION IS CLOSED, THE AUDIO WOULD WORK IN THE BACK HALF. AND IF YOU LOOK OVER ON THE WALL BEHIND MR. CHANDLER, YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE BLACK PANEL ATTACHED TO THE WALL. WHEN WE'RE IN THE COUNCIL MEETING, THAT PANEL IS DEACTIVATED, BUT THAT PANEL TURNS THAT BACK HALF INTO A CONFERENCE ROOM. SO IF SOMEBODY, FOR EXAMPLE, A COUNCIL MEMBER, WANTED TO DO A TOWN HALL OR VISIT WITH A LARGE GROUP OF CONSTITUENTS, WE CAN CLOSE THE PARTITION AND YOU CAN SHARE A POWERPOINT. THERE IS A CAMERA.

IF YOU WANTED TO BE ON ZOOM, YOU HAVE WIRELESS MIC AND AUDIO MIC, SO IT GIVES A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY TO THAT BACK HALF. WHEN THAT HAPPENS. THE OTHER THING IS WE, BASED ON YOUR APPROVAL OF COUNCIL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, WE DID THE REGISTRATION ON ZOOM AND I WAS ONE WHO DID REGISTER

[01:00:07]

FOR THIS MEETING. AND YESTERDAY AT ABOUT 350, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM ZOOM THAT SAID, HEY, JUST A REMINDER OF COUNCIL MEETING TOMORROW AT FOUR FOR THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. AND THEN TODAY, ABOUT 3:00, A LITTLE BEFORE 3:00, THEY SENT ME A REMINDER. IT SAID, HEY, DON'T FORGET COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE AND COUNCIL MEETING STARTS IN AN HOUR. AND THOSE ARE ALL AUTOMATED. WE'VE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE YELLOW CARDS, AND WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF REALLY FOCUS ON THE YELLOW CARDS FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. THERE WASN'T A LOT OF PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT, BUT WE'RE APPRECIATIVE OF THE SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE TO HELP THE COUNCIL HEAR FROM RESIDENTS. WE ALSO HAD A GROUP OF STAFF THAT WATCHED THE PROCEEDINGS ON SWAGGERT, AND WE HAD A COUPLE STAFF MEMBERS THAT WERE ON ZOOM SO THAT WE COULD JUST MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS GOOD. AND I REALLY JUST WANT TO APPRECIATE ROBERT ALLRED AND THE IT TEAM, WHO WORKED VERY HARD WITH OUR PROVIDER TO GET THEM HERE, PUT IN THE AMOUNT OF TIME THEY NEEDED TO GET THE ROOM READY, ESPECIALLY FOR TONIGHT. AND THE LAST THING I'M GOING TO HAVE IS WITH ALL THE YOUTH THAT ARE HERE, IS I'M GOING TO HAVE WARREN TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUTH COUNCIL. THE YOUTH COUNCIL IS WRAPPING UP THEIR ACADEMIC YEAR. THEY WERE ABLE TO HELP OUT WITH THE EASTER EGG HUNT ON SATURDAY, AND THEY'LL BE HELPING WITH ARTS IN THE PARK THIS SATURDAY. WE HAVE ANOTHER SERVICE PROJECT SCHEDULED FOR THE COMMUNITY GARDENS IN THE NEXT MONTH ISH, AND THEN THEY WILL COME IN A COUNCIL MEETING IN MAY AND GIVE THEIR FINAL REPORT TO COUNCIL. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE ARE GOING TO OPEN REGISTRATION FOR THE YOUTH COUNCIL THIS WEEK. SO SPECIFICALLY IF YOU ARE A SOPHOMORE OR JUNIOR, WE HAVE A YOUTH COUNCIL LOOKS REALLY GOOD ON COLLEGE APPLICATIONS. WE GET TOGETHER EVERY MONTH OR SO. WE DO SERVICE PROJECTS. YOU GET TO RUB SHOULDERS WITH LOCAL OFFICIALS, THE MAYOR AND HIS STAFF. IT'S A REALLY GOOD EXPERIENCE. SO VISIT OUR WEBSITE. COTTONWOOD OR COTTONWOOD HEIGHTS? THAT'S A PREVIOUS CAREER. WEST JORDAN AND THEN THE CITY COUNCIL PAGE WILL GIVE YOU A LINK TO THAT. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT. AND YOU GET A NICE SHIRT. YES YOU DO GET A NICE SHIRT AND A BACKPACK. SWAG ITEMS. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL TURN

[c. Mayor’s Report]

THE TIME OVER TO THE MAYOR FOR HIS MAYOR'S REPORT. THANK YOU. OKAY, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO SHOWED UP TO THE UTAH LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS. AS I COULD HEAR, AS YOU WERE GIVING YOUR REPORTS, IT'S A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR ALL OF US. SO I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT CONFERENCE, WHICH WILL BE IN SEPTEMBER. AND YOU MAY KNOW, I RODE MY BIKE MOST WAY TO SAINT GEORGE. THE DISTANCE I RODE WAS WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME BEYOND SAINT GEORGE BECAUSE I TOOK A BIG LOOP AROUND, BUT IN, I DON'T KNOW, 500 SOMETHING MILES. I HAVEN'T CALCULATED IT YET, BUT NEXT TIME IT'LL BE IN SALT LAKE CITY AND THAT'LL BE REAL EASY. I CAN DO IT ALL IN ONE DAY, SO THAT'LL BE GOOD. AND I WAIT FOR THE PICTURES TO COME UP. WHILE HE'S DOING THAT, I WANT TO MENTION I'LL RIDE MY MOTORCYCLE. REAL SALT LAKE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH WEST JORDAN YET. BUT, YOU KNOW, PERHAPS WE CAN ANNEX THAT LOCATION AND MAKE THAT PART OF WEST JORDAN, BUT PROBABLY NOT. OKAY, WELL, I'LL WAIT FOR THAT TO COME UP. I TEXT YOU A LITTLE FLIER FOR THE SYCAMORES.

DISC GOLF. WE'RE HAVING A LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD GET TOGETHER ON THAT TOMORROW AT 6:00. AND JUST TO LET THE RESIDENTS KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON SO THAT THERE IS LESS CONFUSION BECAUSE WE WERE GETTING LOTS OF CALLS FROM RESIDENTS AND THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE GOOD, TO GIVE THEM THE CLEAR INFORMATION SO THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BACK IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I ALSO INVITED SOME OF THE RESIDENTS FROM HOMES, HOMES, WHICH IS DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH IN THAT DEVELOPMENT OVER THERE. AND THEY'RE THEY'RE ALSO PRETTY EXCITED TO DO THAT. IT HAS A LOT OF SIMILARITIES TO THE ONE IN TETON, BECAUSE IT'S IN A LITTLE GULLY, WATERWAY, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, AND SLOPED AREAS AND LOTS OF NATURAL GROWTH IN THAT AREA AND WHICH WILL REMAIN THAT WAY AFTERWARDS. SO THAT'S EXCITING. ON MY WAY TO SAINT GEORGE, I STOPPED AND VISITED WITH A FEW MAYORS. ALONG THE WAY I SAW THE MAYOR OF SPRINGVILLE, THE MAYOR OF HELPER, THE MAYOR OF PRICE, THE MAYOR OF EAST CARBON CITY. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS AN EAST CARBON CITY BEFORE I WENT ON MY RIDE. BUT THERE IS THE MAYOR OF. CARBON. GREEN RIVER, THE MAYOR OF TORREY, THE MAYOR OF HATCH, THE MAYOR OF PANGUITC. AND I THINK THAT'S IT. AND IT WAS INTERESTING TALKING WITH

[01:05:10]

THEM, HOW MANY SIMILARITY PROBLEMS WE HAVE AND HOW MANY DIFFERENCES WE HAVE. OUR BUDGETS JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF EXTRA ZEROS IN THERE. BUT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE BUDGETS RIGHT NOW JUST LIKE WE ARE. BUT SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS ARE SO DIFFERENT. I WAS TALKING TO THE MAYOR OF TORREY, AND THEY'RE WORKING ON PUTTING IN SOME HIGH DENSITY HOMES. TWO FOURPLEXES THEY'RE WORKING ON DOING, AND HE PUTS IN THOSE TWO FOURPLEXES HE ESTIMATES. SO IF YOU GO EIGHT UNITS AND YOU FIGURE THREE PEOPLE PER UNIT, THAT GIVES YOU 24 PEOPLE AND THEIR POPULATION IS 250, LOOK WHAT THAT DOES TO THEIR POPULATION. ISN'T THAT AMAZING. SO THAT'S HOW THE GROWTH GOES. OH THERE WE GO. SO IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THAT THOSE ARE SOME OF THE MAYORS. AND THEN RIGHT THERE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE THERE WE GOT THE BUILDING A HEALTHY UTAH AWARD FOR HEALTHY UTAH. SO ASHLEY HAD A LOT TO DO WITH THAT. AND SHE WAS THERE TO HELP US RECEIVE THAT AWARD, AND WE BROUGHT THAT BACK WITH US. SO THAT'S QUITE EXCITING THAT WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT. AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT IN DOING THAT. AND NOW AS A RESULT OF THAT, WE'RE HELPING STRENGTHEN OUR HEALTHY WEST JORDAN COMMITTEE. AND YOU TALKED ABOUT THE EASTER EGG HUNT. THERE'S A COUPLE OF PICTURES FROM THE EASTER EGG HUNT. AND SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT KNOW IS I'M LOOKING TO EXPAND THE EASTER EGG HUNT BY INVOLVING NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, TOO. AND WE DID TWO OF THOSE THIS YEAR, AND I HOPE TO EXPAND THAT SOME MORE. SO THAT WAY PEOPLE CAN COME TO THIS BIG, FANCY ONE THEY WANT, OR IF THEY WANT TO HAVE A QUIET ONE IN THEIR LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD. IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS, WE'RE HELPING SUPPORT SOME OF THOSE AS WELL. SO LIKE I SAID, WE JUST DID TWO THIS YEAR. I HOPE TO EXPAND TO GET A COUPLE MORE NEXT YEAR AND SEE HOW THAT GOES.

COMING UP, WE HAVE THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION PLAQUE DEDICATION, AND ALL OF YOU ARE INVITED TO THAT. AS LONG AS AND AS WITH THE PUBLIC. THAT WILL BE THURSDAY, APRIL 24TH AT 10 A.M. RIGHT HERE IN VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK. THIS IS UNIQUE. IT'LL BE THE ONLY ONE IN THE STATE OF UTAH. EACH STATE GETS ONE, AND WEST JORDAN IS THE CITY THAT WAS CHOSEN FOR THIS. HERE IN UTAH. FIRST FRIDAY COMING UP. WE'RE PRETTY EXCITED. THOSE FIRST FRIDAYS HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC, THIS ONE FOR CINCO DE MAYO A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE. IT'LL GET YOU READY, GET YOU IN THE MOOD FOR IT, AND THAT WILL BE AT THE MERIDIAN. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE A PAINTING ACTIVITY PRIOR TO THAT. THEN THE CINCO DE MAYO MUSIC OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. SO WE INVITE YOU TO COME TO THAT, AND THIS WILL PROBABLY BE THE LAST ONE INDOORS FOR THE SUMMER. WE'LL PROBABLY BE MOVING THEM TO OUTDOORS AFTER THAT, UNLESS THE WEATHER'S REALLY GOOD, THIS ONE, WE MIGHT MOVE TO OUTDOORS AS WELL. OKAY, COMING UP ON MAY 3RD IS OUR E-WASTE AND SHRED EVENT DAY. SO IF YOU'VE GOT SOME SECRET PAPERS YOU WANT ANYONE TO READ, BRING THEM OUT. WE'LL SHRED THEM UP AND DESTROY THEM FOR YOU. OR IF YOU HAVE SOME ELECTRONICS YOU WANT TO HAVE RECYCLED, BRING THEM OVER. WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THAT. AND THEN AS SOON AS YOU LEAVE THAT, JUST HEAD STRAIGHT OVER TO THE BRIDGE AT 8200 SOUTH AND MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BRIDGE PARTY. WE'RE GOING TO BRIDGE THE CITY FROM 6400 WEST OVER INTO 5600 WEST, ACTUALLY, NOT 64.

IT'S LOWER THAN THAT. BUT ANYWAY, WE COME TO THAT, WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE THE ROAD DOWN AND HAVE A PARTY ON TOP OF THAT BRIDGE AND GIVE IT A REAL OPENING. WE HAD JUST A SMALL PARTY WHEN IT HAPPENED BEFORE, BECAUSE IT WAS THE MIDDLE, MIDDLE OF JANUARY, AND WE WANTED TO GET THAT MOVING QUICKLY. ACTUALLY, IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY, STARTED JANUARY. SO LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE. THAT'S FROM 11 TO 1. WE'LL HAVE FOOD AND MUSIC AND IT'LL BE A LOT OF FUN OVER THERE. AND THAT IS MY REPORT. CORBIN'S GOT SOME COOL THINGS TO

[d. City Administrator’s Report]

THANK YOU, CORBIN. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. SPEAKING OF 8600 SOUTH, WE HAD A PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING TODAY WITH THE CONTRACTORS THAT WILL BE BUILDING THE ROAD 8600 SOUTH FROM 64TH WEST ALL THE WAY TO U 111. YOU SHOULD SEE CONSTRUCTION ON THAT PROJECT STARTING WITHIN A MONTH. SO IT'LL GET GOING HERE FAIRLY QUICKLY. ALSO, I'D LIKE PAUL JEROME TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON OUR FUNDRAISING AND DONATIONS EFFORTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMMUNITY AND ARTS CENTER. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. YES, WE'RE CONTINUING ON THIS CAMPAIGN TO RAISE MONEY TO PROVIDE LIGHTING INSIDE THE BUILDING, AS WELL AS SOME SOUND EQUIPMENT. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY $150,000 IN EITHER CASH OR OTHER OTHER ITEMS OF VALUE, NAMELY A PIANO, GRAND PIANO, GOT A BABY

[01:10:02]

GRAND PIANO THAT'S GOING TO BE DONATED TO BE PLACED IN THERE, THAT COULD BE USED IN THE RECEPTION AREA, AS WELL AS MOVED AROUND TO THE DIFFERENT AREAS LIKE THE BLACK BOX FOR PERFORMANCES OR SOME OF THE OTHER ROOMS FOR SMALLER EVENTS AND THAT KIND OF THING. SO THE WEST, OR SORRY, CULTURAL SOCIETY OF WEST JORDAN IS STILL DOING THEIR SEAT NAMING CAMPAIGN FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT, YOU CAN FIND THAT AT ORG. AND IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER THERE'S A BUTTON THAT SAYS DONATE SLASH SPONSOR. YOU CLICK ON THAT, IT TAKES YOU TO THEIR LIGHT THE ROOM CAMPAIGN. AND THERE YOU CAN PICK FROM A VARIETY OF OPTIONS TO DONATE TO HAVE YOUR NAME PLACED ON A SEAT INSIDE THE BLACK BOX. SO FAR, THE ART SOCIETY HAS RAISED ABOUT $25,000 OF THAT 150,000. AND WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF BUSINESS, WELL, BUSINESS AND PRIVATE DONOR WHO DONATED 50,020 THOUSAND, RESPECTIVELY. SO WE'RE CONTINUING. WE'VE GOT OTHERS THAT ARE HAVE PLEDGED TO BE INVOLVED, AND WE HOPE TO GET FIRM COMMITMENTS ON THOSE IN THE COMING WEEKS. SO HOW DO WE HANDLE THOSE DONATIONS? ARE THOSE HANDLED THROUGH THE ARTS COUNCIL? SO ANY THAT ARE DONE THROUGH THE ART SOCIETY'S WEBSITE ARE HANDLED THROUGH THROUGH THEM AND THEY ARE NONPROFIT. SO WE'VE HAD OTHER ONE OF THE OTHER DONATIONS WAS ACTUALLY MADE OUT TO THE ARTS SOCIETY. SO THEY'LL HANDLE THAT AS WELL. ANY DONATIONS GIVEN TO US, WE CAN TAKE THOSE AS WELL. I'M JUST CURIOUS, SINCE THE NAMES ARE PUT ON SEATS IN THE CITY, BUT WE DON'T HANDLE ANY OF THE MONEY. WELL, YEAH. SO THE, THE ART SOCIETY IS THE ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE TASKED WITH GATHERING THAT SPECIFIC COMPONENT OF THE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THEY WERE COMMITTED TO BEING INVOLVED IN THIS FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN, BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY TRACKING THAT. THEY'RE GIVING US REPORTS SO WE KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH THEY'RE RAISING. I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, DOES THAT MONEY COME BACK TO THE CITY FOR THE ARTS BUILDING, OR DOES IT STAY WITH THE ARTS COUNCIL FOR THEM TO USE IN ARTS? IT'LL COME BACK TO THE CITY. OKAY. THANK YOU. YEP. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? AND THANKS FOR ALL OF YOU FOR GETTING THE WORD OUT TO. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL NOW MOVE TO CONSENT

[CONSENT ITEMS]

ITEMS. DO I HAVE ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION MOVE TO APPROVE CONSENT ITEMS. SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY VICE CHAIR WHITELOCK AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THAT PASSES. ALL RIGHT, SO BEFORE WE ADJOURN, JUST TO NOTE THAT WE HAVE THREE MEETINGS, WE HAVE THE FAIRWAY ESTATES, WE HAVE THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING AUTHORITY AND THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO PRESENT OUR TENTATIVE BUDGETS. AND MR. ANDERSON, YOU HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE YOU ADJOURN. I'M JUST WONDERING, SINCE YOU STILL HAVE A FEW PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE, IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE BREAK BEFORE YOU TAKE THOSE THREE OUT, IT'S JUST SIMPLY RECEIVING THE BUDGET AND SETTING THE PUBLIC HEARING DATE FOR THE FOR THOSE AGENCIES. IT'S UP TO YOU. JUST A SUGGESTION. I'M GOOD TO KEEP GOING. I DON'T NEED A BREAK. IT WAS A SHORT MEETING TODAY, SHORTER THAN USUAL. ALRIGHT THEN. AT THIS
