[PUBLIC COMMENT]

SO, AMY, IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME FORWARD THIS TIME. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS AMY MOTTA. I AM A RESIDENT OF SALT LAKE CITY, AND I AM HERE TO REQUEST THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER PASSING A HUMANE PET STORE ORDINANCE, WHICH WOULD BAN THE SALE OF PUPPIES IN PET STORES. THESE PUPPIES COME FROM INHUMANE PUPPY MILLS. AND I WANT TO TALK THIS EVENING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF THE FEMALE BREEDING DOGS IN THE PUPPY MILLS. THESE DOGS ARE BRED EARLY AND OFTEN.

[00:10:02]

FEMALES ARE OFTEN CONTINUOUSLY BRED WITH LITTLE TO NO RECOVERY TIME, LEADING TO PHYSICAL EXHAUSTION, POOR BODY CONDITION, AND DEPLETION OF ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS. REPRODUCTIVE PROBLEMS. INCREASED RISK OF COMPLICATIONS LIKE UTERINE INFECTIONS, MASTITIS, AND DIFFICULTIES GIVING BIRTH. MALNUTRITION AND RELATED CONDITIONS. POOR NUTRITION AND INADEQUATE CARE CAN LEAD TO MALNUTRITION, HYPOCALCEMIA, AND OTHER NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES.

ALSO AN INCREASED RISK OF INFECTIONS. THE OVERCROWDING AND UNSANITARY CONDITIONS MAKE BREEDING DOGS HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND PARASITES. ALL OF THESE FACTORS COMBINED LEAD TO A HIGHER MORTALITY RATE FOR BREEDING FEMALES, AND THIS CONTINUING BREEDING WITH NO BREAKS OFTEN LEADS TO DECREASED LITTER SIZE TO A POINT WHERE THE FEMALES WILL NO LONGER. GET PREGNANT, AND AT WHICH CASE USUALLY THE FEMALES ARE DISCARDED. SO AGAIN, I ENCOURAGE THE CITY COUNCIL TO PASS A HUMANE PET STORE ORDINANCE TO STOP STORES FROM SELLING PUPPIES FROM INHUMANE PUPPY MILLS. AND I THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY AND I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU AMY. IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE TONIGHT, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO COME FORWARD. JUST COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR CITY OF RESIDENCE AND WE'LL HEAR FROM YOU. OH. SO I DO. I NEED A HIT. OH, THERE WE GO. HELLO, I'M ANNE MARIE BARRETT. I'M A RESIDENT OF BURR, AND I AM THE MANAGER OF THE BINGHAM CREEK LIBRARY HERE IN WEST JORDAN. SO I'M HERE TO JUST SHARE A FEW FUN UPCOMING THINGS. WITH THE SUMMER JUST OPENING UP IN SCHOOL, SOON TO BE LETTING OUT, WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO HAVE HOPEFULLY MORE FAMILIES AND KIDS IN OUR LIBRARY. SO JUST THIS WEEK ACTUALLY ON THE 30TH. SO FRIDAY WE HAVE OUR SUMMER READING KICKOFF PARTIES THAT WILL BE TAKING PLACE IN DRAPER, TAYLORSVILLE, SOUTH JORDAN, AND THE WHITTEMORE LIBRARY. SO WE'VE GOT TWO REALLY, REALLY CLOSE TO WEST JORDAN CITY. TAYLORSVILLE AND SOUTH JORDAN ARE JUST TEN MINUTES AWAY FROM HERE, QUITE FRANKLY, SO WE HOPE THAT PEOPLE SHOW UP. THAT USUALLY STARTS AT ABOUT 6:00 AND RUNS TILL ABOUT EIGHT, I BELIEVE, AND IT'S ALWAYS A REALLY GREAT TIME. THEY HAVE USUALLY PERFORMERS. FUN ACTIVITIES REALLY ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO ATTEND THOSE KICKOFF PARTIES, BUT IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SWING BY EITHER THE WEST JORDAN OR THE BINGHAM CREEK LIBRARIES TO SIGN UP FOR SUMMER READING. WE'RE GOING TO BE STARTING THAT IN THE NEXT DAY AND WE'RE REALLY, REALLY EXCITED. IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR LEARNING FOR ALL AGES. WE DON'T HAVE AN AGE LIMIT. WE HAVE THEM FROM PRE-READERS CLEAR UP TO ADULTS, SO PLEASE JOIN US. IT'S ALWAYS REALLY FUN AND THERE'S SOME COOL PERKS FROM BEING ABLE TO DO IT. IF YOU HAVE ANY FINES ON YOUR LIBRARY CARD, WE DO IT UP TO A $5 FINE WAIVER JUST FOR SIGNING UP, AND IF YOU DO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM, YOU GET A FREE BOOK THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM A SELECTION OF FREE BOOKS. AND THEN WE HAVE EVEN MORE READING OPPORTUNITIES TAKING PLACE, AS WELL AS OTHER FUN ACTIVITIES AT THE LIBRARY AT BINGHAM CREEK AT 7:00 EVERY NIGHT IN JUNE, OR EVERY MONDAY NIGHT IN JUNE. I SHOULD SAY THAT WOULD BE A LOT OF PROGRAMING. WE'VE GOT A FAMILY NIGHT PROGRAM, WE'VE GOT A CRAFT NIGHT THAT FIRST WEEK OF FACE PAINTING ON THE 9TH OF JUNE, WE'VE GOT A HAWK WATCH PRESENTATION ON THE 16TH, WE'VE GOT A MAGIC PRESENTATION ON THE 23RD. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A BOARD GAMES NIGHT ON THE 30TH OF JUNE. SO IT'S GOING TO BE SUPER FUN. AND THEN THE FIRST THREE TUESDAYS. SO ALL BUT THAT LAST TUESDAY AT 2:00 IN THE AFTERNOON WE HAVE OTHER FUN ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE. WE'VE GOT A LEGO PLAY AS WELL AS A TWO CRAFT DAYS. SO DEFINITELY COME JOIN US. IT'S GOING TO BE A BLAST AND

[00:15:02]

[a. Ordinance No. 25-18 a Rezone to R-1-9 for Bingham Heights Phase 5 (20.96 acres at 5891 West 7000 South)]

IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN AND GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE GENERAL PLAN, AND WE BELIEVE IT ALSO PROVIDES A VARIATION OF HOME DEVELOPMENT AND HOME LOT SIZES. CONSIDERING COPPER RIM DEVELOPMENT THAT'S IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO US. AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THERE. JUST AS ONE CLARIFICATION, THIS PARTICULAR PIECE WE'VE HELD, PERRY HOMES, IS HELD FOR A FEW DECADES. WE DID PURCHASE A SMALLER PIECE THAT'S TO JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THAT FIVE ACRE, A SMALLER FIVE ACRE PIECE THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO CONSIDER DEVELOPMENT WITH. BUT WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU NOW IS JUST THE 20 ACRE PIECE THAT WE'VE HELD. THAT'S GREAT. YEAH, ACTUALLY, I THINK HALF OF US WERE ON THE COUNCIL WHEN WE APPROVED THE FIRST PHASE THAT IS GOING IN RIGHT NOW. SO FOR ME, I'M EXCITED TO SEE THIS HAPPEN. AND I KNOW THAT THE CURRENT PHASE IS LOOKING REALLY WELL. SO. ALL RIGHT, VICE CHAIR, THANK YOU. MY ONLY QUESTION FOR YOU IS THESE HOMES IS THE PLAN TO SELL THEM TO INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS. IT IS TO SELL THEM TO INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS. CORRECT. THAT WILL BE GREAT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL MEMBER, JUST ONE QUESTION I HAVE. IF YOU GO BACK TO THE MAP THAT WAS UP THERE, THERE'S ONE THE PREVIOUS ONE, THAT ONE, THERE'S ONE LITTLE SECTION WHERE YOU'VE GOT TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES IN, PROBABLY THE PLACE THAT NEEDS THE LEAST TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURE. THAT'S THAT LITTLE SMALL AREA. ANY PLANS THAT WE COULD MAYBE LOOK AT, SEEING SOMETHING IN THOSE LONGER STRIPS, MAYBE AT THE BEGINNING OF, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE PEOPLE TURN IN? WE'RE HAPPY TO CONTINUE TO REVIEW ANY MEASURES WITH STAFF AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE PRELIMINARY PLAT PROCESS. IN FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW IS JUST OUR CONCEPTUAL BASED ON ZONING, SO I'M HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY OF THOSE. THAT'D BE GREAT. I JUST LIKE I SAID, I WAS EXCITED TO SEE TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES AND THEN WENT, WELL, THAT'S THE LEAST PLACE THAT NEEDS TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES IS RIGHT THERE. BUT SO I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. YES, OF COURSE, COUNCILMEMBER JACOB JUST WANTED TO DOVETAIL ON A PREVIOUS QUESTION. IS THERE ANYTHING PREVENTING SOMEBODY WHO'S NOT AN OWNER OCCUPIER FROM BUYING ONE OF THESE HOMES? NO, NOT THAT I CARE. THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK. THANKS.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY. WELL, THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS WE HAVE FOR YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NOW, I DO HAVE A NOTE DOWN HERE FOR MARK FORSYTH, OUR ASSOCIATE PLANNER. COME FORWARD. THANK YOU. CHAIR. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. I'LL JUST JUST KIND OF DO A REALLY QUICK RUNDOWN OF SOME SOME MINOR DETAILS. BUT YEAH, THE PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS TO CHANGE THE CURRENT LSF ZONE, WHICH IS A HOLDOVER FROM THE WEST SIDE PLANNING AREA, OR WSP, BUT JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY ON THIS AND WHY WE'RE REZONING THIS IS THAT GOT SOME DIRECTION FROM THE COUNCIL A WHILE BACK THAT SOME OF THESE HOLDOVER ZONES FROM THE, FROM THE WSP WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR, FOR DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE OLD WSP ORDINANCES, BUT WOULD RATHER NEED TO BE REZONED TO A MORE EUCLIDEAN BASED ZONE THAT WAS CONDUCIVE TO THE GENERAL PLAN. AND SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT

[00:20:01]

AND THEN TO THE WEST IS THE COPPER RIM PHASE FOUR DEVELOPMENT, WHICH IS MIX OF SINGLE FAMILY AND OPEN SPACE AND A PLANNED COMMUNITY. AND THEN OF COURSE, THE SOUTH IS THE NFR ZONE, WHICH IS ANOTHER HOLDOVER FROM THE WSP. BUT THAT PIECE ACTUALLY IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE HIGHLANDS MASTER PLAN BOUNDARIES. SO THAT'S JUST ABOUT IT. AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE COUNCILMEMBER BLOOM A COUPLE OF THEM. AND THE FIRST ONE IS MOSTLY FOR MY LEARNING AND UNDERSTANDING. AND IT'S NOT NECESSARILY A BAD THING. I WAS JUST CURIOUS OF WHY R1 NINE WAS CHOSEN INSTEAD OF R1 TEN OR R1 12, WHICH ALSO MEETS THAT VERY LOW DENSITY REQUIREMENT. I BELIEVE IT WAS MOSTLY TO GET TO THE TO THE MAXIMUM DENSITY AND THE MAX NUMBER OF LOTS OUT OF THAT, WHICH R1 NINE WOULD WOULD ALLOW THEM TO DO THAT. OKAY. AND THEN ON THE OPEN AREAS OF THE GREEN AREAS, IS THE HOA OR THE CITY GOING TO MANAGE THOSE. SO THE GREEN AREAS ON THERE, THAT'S THAT REGIONAL POWER CORRIDOR THAT'S ALL OWNED BY ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER. SO THEY OWN AND MAINTAIN THAT LIKE FIVE UNITS TO THE ACRE. IS THAT THE ONE YOU'RE REFERRING TO OR THE CONCEPT PLAN? THE ONLY. WELL LET'S SEE. GO TO THE OTHER MAP. THE PREVIOUS ONE. YEAH. GO BACK TO THAT ONE CONCEPT PLAN. YEAH. SO THE PLAN IS UP THERE IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER. THEY'LL, THEY'LL BE A TRAIL CONNECTION THAT WILL CONNECT BINGHAM HEIGHTS PHASE FOUR TO BINGHAM HEIGHTS PHASE FIVE. AND THAT WILL ALSO DOUBLE AS A UTILITY CORRIDOR AS WELL. SO THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF OPEN SPACE JUST ON THE OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE TRAIL WHERE THE UTILITIES ARE GOING. BUT AND THEN AS FAR AS. STORMWATER DETENTION, WE STILL HAVE TO WORK THAT OUT THROUGH PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION. SO THERE MIGHT BE SOME OF THAT AS WELL. COUNCILMEMBER GREEN. MY TRAIN GOT DERAILED JUST OH, THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO DEVELOPMENTS. THAT'S THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER CORRIDOR. CORRECT. IT IS. SO FOR THE TRAIL TO GO ACROSS THERE, THEY IS THE CITY GOING TO HELP THEM GET THAT EASEMENT. OR THEY WOULD NEED TO WORK WITH ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER TO ACQUIRE THAT. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. WORKS FOR ME. AND THERE WAS OH NOT RELATED TO THIS SUBDIVISION, BUT IT MAY BE SOMETHING THAT I'M THINKING WE MAY WANT TO LOOK, I'M WONDERING HOW MANY OF THOSE HOLDOVER ZONES WE THAT LIKE THE NFR. AND I NOTICED ON THE BIG MAP, WHEN YOU WENT TO THE ZONING, THERE WERE A COUPLE COUPLE AREAS. BUT I'M WONDERING IF IT'S NOT LIKE, LIKE ON THIS, YOU'VE GOT THE LSFL TO THE WEST OF BOWMAN'S ARROW AND WE'VE GOT THE NFR. THAT'S THE ADDITIONAL PIECE THAT THEY JUST BOUGHT. I'M JUST WONDERING IF IT'S TIME THAT WE JUST ELIMINATE AND WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO ELIMINATE THOSE OLD ZONES. IT'S JUST A RHETORICAL QUESTION, BUT I'M WONDERING OUT LOUD IF IT'S JUST TIME TO GET RID OF THAT.

AND AS I'M LOOKING AT THIS MAP, AS WE AND IN FACT, MR. LANGFELDER AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS HERE JUST BEFORE THE MEETING ABOUT THE HOME SIZE A, B, C, AND D, AND I GOT, YOU GOT ALL THESE ZONES WITH R AND R1 SIX C AND D, AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO LEGALLY USE THAT FOR A WHILE. SO. SO THE REST OF THE COUNCIL, I'M JUST THINKING, I WONDER IF IT'S TIME THAT WE DO A CLEAN UP OF THE ZONING AND JUST GET RID OF SOME OF THAT STUFF AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO CITY WIDE TO CLEAN THAT UP. BUT ANYWAY, THAT THAT WAS JUST MORE OF A COMMENT, BUT THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR MARK? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE WILL NOW GO TO THE PUBLIC

[00:25:04]

MR. ANDERSON, IS THERE ANYBODY ONLINE THAT WOULD WISH TO SPEAK FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING? COUNCIL CHAIR? THERE IS ONE INDIVIDUAL ONLINE AND THEY HAVE NOT RAISED THEIR HAND TO SPEAK. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. WE WILL THEN CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND WE WILL GO TO COUNCIL DISCUSSION OR MOTION. COUNCILMEMBER GREEN, I JUST WANT TO I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE SIMPLER REZONING REQUESTS WE'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME. IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN WE GET SOMEBODY WHO COMES IN AND WANTS TO USE THE ACTUAL LOW DENSITY DESIGNATION AND BUILD HOUSES AT 9000FT■!S OR 9000 SQUE FOOT LOT. SO THANK YOU FOR ACTUALLY THANK YOU TO PERRY HOMES FOR RECOGNIZING THAT WE STILL SHOULD HAVE SOME LOW DENSITY AREAS IN THE CITY AND THAT THEY SHOULD BE ZONED THAT WAY AND BUILT THAT WAY. SO THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION. I MOVE TO I MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 25, 18 BINGHAM HEIGHTS PHASE FIVE, REZONE ZONE CHANGE OF 20.96 ACRES AT 5891 WEST 7000 SOUTH FROM LSF TO R1 NINE. VICE CHAIR WHITELOCK I'LL SECOND HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON AND A SECOND BY VICE CHAIR WHITELOCK. DISCUSSION OF THE MOTION. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB. THANK YOU. I'M IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION. ONE OF THE. I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT, SINCE MOST I'M THE ONLY ONE UP HERE. THERE'S MAYOR DOWN THERE, BUT WHO IS STILL AROUND WHEN THE LSF AND THE MFR AND STUFF WERE BEING TOSSED AROUND. IT'S A THROWBACK TO THE FORM BASED WEST SIDE PLANNING AREA, WHICH WAS KIND OF THE WRONG EXECUTION OF THE RIGHT IDEA AND IS NOW LIMITED TO JUST THE HIGHLANDS. MASTER PLAN IS GRANDFATHERED IN BECAUSE THEY CAME OUT WITH THAT MASTER PLAN, AND THEN WE GOT RID OF IT. SO IT WAS LIKE RIGHT ON THE HEELS OF EACH OTHER. WHEN IT COMES TO, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T TALK ABOUT EUCLIDEAN ZONING MUCH ANYMORE BECAUSE WE DO SO MUCH IN PLANNED COMMUNITY ZONES AND PRDS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, BECAUSE OF JUST THE NATURE OF WHAT DEVELOPMENT IS DONE IN THE LAST 10 OR 15 YEARS AND HOW IT'S CHANGED. SO WHEN YOU SEE THIS R1 NINE AND YOU ASK QUESTIONS LIKE, WHERE'S THE OPEN SPACE? WHERE'S THIS OPEN SPACE? IN THE R1 NINE IS THE FRONT YARD AND THE BACKYARD.

AND THAT'S THE THAT'S USED TO BE ALL WE'D CONSIDER. YOU KNOW, HOW BIG'S THE FRONT YARD IN THE BACKYARD AND THAT'S IT. SO IT'S A IT'S KIND OF A THROWBACK AND IT'S KIND OF COOL. SO I'M I'M WILLING TO APPROVE APPROVE THIS ONE. IN GENERAL I THINK MOVING TOWARDS THE FORM BASED ZONES AND THE OTHER, THE PLANNED COMMUNITIES AND THE PRDS IS PROBABLY I THINK IT'S AN IMPROVEMENT ON THE OLD EUCLIDEAN ZONES. BUT BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN ONE POPS UP THAT FITS. AND SO THIS ONE FITS. SO I'M IN FAVOR. THANKS. THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER. WE WILL NOW GO AHEAD WITH THE VOTE. CINDY, YOU WANT TO TAKE US THROUGH THE ROLL CALL VOTE. COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER BLUM. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER.

BADOR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. GREEN. YES. CHAIR. LAMB. YES. VICE CHAIR. WHITELOCK. YES.

THANK YOU. I SHOW THE MOTION PASSES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU. COUNCIL. THAT WAS THE QUICKEST REGULAR MEETING WE'VE HAD. WE STILL HAVE LOTS MORE TO GO TONIGHT, BUT LET'S MOVE TO OUR REPORTS TO THE COUNCIL. SO WHOEVER WANTS TO GO FIRST, IF YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR NAME UP,

[a. City Council Reports]

AND IT WAS IT WAS IT WAS A GOOD EVENT. SO TO THE EMPLOYEE ASSOCIATION, THANK YOU FOR DOING

[00:30:03]

I THINK THAT THE MAYOR AND I GOT I KNOW AT LEAST YOU AND I GOT THEIR ARMS TWISTED TO BECOME CHARTER MEMBERS, BUT IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, THE KIWANIS CLUB IS A COMMUNITY SERVICE CLUB, AND THEY ARE TRYING TO START UP A WEST JORDAN CHAPTER. SO IF ANY OF YOU WANT TO JOIN, PLEASE WRITE OUT THE CHECK. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THANKS TO WARREN FOR WORKING ON THE YOUTH COUNCIL. AS YOU SEE, THEY THEY'VE DONE MULTIPLE SERVICE PROJECTS. SO IF WE'RE EVER KEEPING TRACK OF COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS OR THOSE KIND OF THINGS FOR THE CITY, OR EVEN SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS LIKE WORKING ON COMMUNITY GARDENS. MAYOR, PLEASE TAKE PLEASE BE WILLING TO INCLUDE THOSE IN YOUR NUMBERS AND TAKE CREDIT FOR IT. COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON, I JUST WANTED TO. THANK THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THE PLANNING AND THE EXECUTION OF THE MEMORIAL DAY CAR SHOW AND THE MEMORIAL DAY TRIBUTE. IT WAS SIMPLY AMAZING HAVING THE ARMY AIR NATIONAL GUARD HELICOPTER THERE WAS WAS WONDERFUL. I CAME BACK AT 2 P.M. JUST SO I COULD WATCH IT, THE HELICOPTER TAKE OFF AND LEAVE AND IT WAS IT WAS THRILLING TO BE THERE AND TO WITNESS THAT, APPRECIATE THE PARTICIPATION OF THE ARMY AIR NATIONAL GUARD IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND THAT MEANS A LOT TO US. THE WASATCH FRONT REGIONAL COUNCIL HAD A MEETING LAST WEEK, AND I WAS ASKED TO COME AND PRESENT ABOUT THE 5600 WEST AND OLD BINGHAM STATION AREA PLAN. I WENT AND TALKED ABOUT IT BRIEFLY, ASKED THEM FOR THEIR SUPPORT, AND THEY APPROVED IT UNANIMOUSLY, I BELIEVE. SO IT'S ONE STEP CLOSER TO FRUITION. THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER, QUICKLY, I'D LIKE TO ALSO PUT IN MY THANKS TO WARREN FOR ALL THE WORK HE DID WITH THE YOUTH. JUST AMAZING WORK. THEY FELT ENGAGED AT ALL TIMES AND FELT LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE. ALSO. JUST LOVE SEEING IT GROW AND I THINK IT'S GROWING A LOT BECAUSE OF THE WORK THAT'S DONE BY THE STAFF HERE WITHIN HERE. AND THAT'S MOSTLY THANKS TO WARREN ON THAT. SO REALLY GREAT TO SEE THE KIDS EXCITED TO TAKE AN INTEREST IN THE CITY. AND HOPEFULLY WE GET MORE OF THAT. AND WE SEE A LOT OF THEM UP HERE ON THIS DAIS AT SOME POINT. ALSO, TO PIGGYBACK ON OTHERS, THANKS TO ALL THE EFFORTS THAT WENT INTO THE MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATION, NOT JUST THE CELEBRATION, WHICH WAS VERY WELL DONE AND HANDLED WITH SUCH DIGNITY, BUT ALSO JUST TO THE MAJOR EVENT THROUGHOUT THE PARK AS WELL. I LOVE GOING THROUGH AND TALKING TO THE PEOPLE AND FINDING THE RESIDENTS WHO HAVE COME OUT, THE LOCAL RESIDENTS OF WEST JORDAN WHO'VE COME OUT TO THESE GROUPS, THESE EVENTS, AND JUST TO SEE HOW MUCH THEY LIKE SEEING THESE IN WEST JORDAN. AND AS I TALKED WITH AT LEAST TWO DOZEN PEOPLE AT THAT TIME WHO ALL ENJOYED A MOMENT TO JUST BRING THE CITY TOGETHER, AND I WILL BE A PROPONENT OF MAKING SURE THAT WE TRY TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO KEEP THIS CITY TOGETHER AND SHOW THAT WE'RE NOT ONLY GOOD NEIGHBORS TO THE NEIGHBORS NEXT DOOR TO US, BUT TO ALL WITHIN THE CITY AND TO OUR SURROUNDING CITIES AND TO AS A STATE AS WELL, THAT WE'RE A CITY THAT LEADS THE WAY IN, IN THAT SORT OF ENDEAVOR. LASTLY, I WANTED TO ADD ONE OTHER ELEMENT, BUT NOW, UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THAT WAS, SO I'LL REMEMBER IT FOR ANOTHER TIME.

BUT THANK YOU AGAIN TO EVERYONE. ALL RIGHT. NOBODY ELSE HAS LIT UP THEIR NAME, SO WE WILL MOVE

[b. Council Office Report]

[00:35:07]

PREVIOUSLY, IT'S JUST BEEN YOU TALKING AND A AND A POWERPOINT. SO NOW WE HAVE A VISUAL TO GO WITH THAT. SO WE'RE VERY, VERY CLOSE TO HAVING EVERYTHING THAT WE NEEDED JUST IN THE RIGHT SPOT TO HAVE PRODUCTIVE AND TRANSPARENT COUNCIL MEETINGS. AND THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I HAVE FOR YOU THIS EVENING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MAYOR BURTON. THANK YOU. BEFORE I START, I

[c. Mayor’s Report]

SO GOOD PROGRESS IS BEING MADE. THOSE HAVE BEEN THERE FOR YEARS. THEY JUST KIND OF HAVEN'T BEEN WELL UTILIZED. SO WE'RE HOPING TO INCREASE THE UTILIZATION. PERHAPS PART OF IT IS BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THEM. SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT ON IT AS WELL SO THEY CAN GET BETTER USE. AND COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON TALKED ABOUT OUR STATION AREA PLAN. SO I'LL SKIP THAT ONE AND GO TO THE NEXT ONE. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON, FOR BEING THERE. AND ALL OF YOU WHO'VE TALKED ABOUT THE MEMORIAL DAY EVENT. BUT THERE'S A COUPLE OF ITEMS I WANT TO MENTION ON THAT, WHICH I LEARNED AFTERWARDS. SO THE SPEAKER, WHO IS A LIEUTENANT, HENRY POWELL, WHEN HE WAS DONE, A COUPLE OF PEOPLE CAME UP WHO WERE RESIDENTS OF WEST JORDAN AND SAID, THAT PERSON YOU TALKED ABOUT THAT WAS WHAT WERE THE RELATIONSHIPS? ONE SAID HE WAS MY BROTHER IN LAW AND THE OTHER SAID IT WAS MY COUSIN. SO THEY KNEW WHO THIS PERSON WAS. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. AND I SAID, HOW'D YOU GET THAT INFORMATION? HE SAID, WELL, FIRST HE CALLED AND HE ASKED SHERRY FOR IT. SHERRY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING ON THAT. SO HE TALKED TO SOME FRIENDS AND THEY RECOMMENDED HE CONTACT THE PENTAGON. SO HE CONTACTED THE PENTAGON. HE FOUND SOMEONE AT THE PENTAGON THAT KNEW THAT AND KNEW THESE PEOPLE AND CONTACTED HIM WITH OTHER PEOPLE THAT KNEW THIS PERSON. SO HE CONTACTED THOSE PEOPLE. HE DID A LOT OF HOMEWORK ON THIS AND GOT THAT INFORMATION FROM THERE. AND THAT'S HOW HE PUT THAT ALL

[00:40:01]

THEY ARE GOING TO BE ETCHING DOWN THE ASPHALT AND PUTTING THE STICKER TAPE DOWN, WHICH THEY DO. SO THE SNOWPLOWS DON'T SCRAPE THEM OFF WHEN WINTER TIME COMES INSTEAD OF JUST PAINTED LINES, BECAUSE THESE THICK LINES REFLECT A LOT BETTER WHEN IT'S WET. AND THAT'S BEEN A BIG CONCERN FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. SO UDOT IS DOING AN EXTRA EFFORT ON DOING THAT. ALL IN ALL, ALL THE WORK ON THAT PART OF IT SHOULD BE DONE PROBABLY BEFORE OUR WESTERN STAMPEDE, SO THAT'LL BE NICE IF EVERYTHING GOES THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO. NOW THE REST OF 90TH SOUTH, THEY'RE GOING TO BE REPAVING THAT. THERE'S BEEN RUMORS OUT THERE THAT IS GOING TO BE WIDENING THAT SECTION.

IT'S NOT TRUE THAT PARTS NOT BEING WIDENED. AND THERE'S BEEN RUMORS THAT THEY'RE TAKING AWAY BIKE LANES AND PUTTING IN EXTRA LANES. THAT'S NOT TRUE. THE ONLY THING THAT'S CHANGING ON THAT, OTHER THAN THE NEW LAYER AND PAINT, IS THE BIKE LANES WILL BE SHIFTING FROM BEING NEXT TO THE TRAVEL LANES TO BEING CLOSER TO THE CURB TO MAKE IT SAFER FOR BIKERS. SOME OF US IGNORE THOSE ANYWAY AND BIKE CLOSER TO THE CURB BECAUSE I LIKE TO BE ALIVE. BUT THERE'S OTHERS LIKE PAUL, WHO LIKES TO BE CLOSER TO THE TRAFFIC. HE THINKS THAT BREEZE GOING BY THERE HELPS HIM MOVE.

OR NO, HE LIKES BEING AWAY FROM THE ROCKS SO THAT THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENED ON 90TH SOUTH, JUST SO YOU KNOW. OH, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING THE PAVING OVERNIGHT. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE STARTING TONIGHT. SO COUNCIL MEMBER WHITLOCK ON YOUR WAY HOME. IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT CHALLENGING. SO YOU MAY HEAR SOME SCRAPING IT RIGHT NOW OR PAVING IT. THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT. THEY'RE GOING TO ENGRAVE IT. AND IT HASN'T BEEN SCRAPED IT AND PAVE IT OKAY. SO MILL AND PAVE OKAY. SO BE READY FOR THAT. WHICH MEANS YOU'LL PROBABLY GET SOME RESIDENT CALLS TOO, BECAUSE THEY'LL BE WORKING AT NIGHT. BUT THAT'S TO KEEP THE TRAFFIC FLOW DURING THE DAY. OKAY. UPCOMING EVENTS, FOOD TRUCKS. THEY STARTED TODAY AND NONE OF YOU WENT THERE TO IT. SEE WHAT

[00:45:07]

[d. City Administrator’s Report]

THEY HAVE MOBILIZED. THEY ARE STARTING THAT CONSTRUCTION. SO WE'LL HAVE TWO YOU KNOW, WE HAVE 90TH SOUTH THAT GOES ALL THE WAY OUT TO U-111 DONE OPEN. AND SHORTLY WE'LL HAVE 86 SOUTH CONNECTING ALL THE WAY THROUGH AS WELL. SO THAT WILL REALLY HELP. ALSO WITH THE EAST WEST TRAFFIC CONNECTING U-111 TO THAT BRAND NEW BRIDGE. THE MAYOR MENTIONED OR IMPLIED THE ART CENTER. IT'S GOING TO BE OPEN SOON. JUNE 18TH IS OUR RIBBON CUTTING VIP EVENT FOR DONORS.

PAUL'S WORKING VERY HARD ON FUNDRAISING EFFORTS AND MAKING GOOD HEADWAY THERE. IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN BY RECENTLY, JUST DRIVE BY THE PARKING LOTS. DONE. THE LANDSCAPING IS DONE AND EXCEPT FOR THE VERY BACK CORNER, THE BUILDING IS LOOKING GREAT AND GETTING POLISHED AND READY FOR ITS DEBUT. SO IT'S REALLY COMING ALONG. IT'S REALLY A HANDSOME BUILDING. IT LOOKS GOOD AND WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE IT HERE IN THE CIVIC CAMPUS ON JUNE 21ST. THIS THIS IS ONE NEW EVENT THAT'S COMING UP UTAH MAMMOTH, OUR NHL TEAM. THEY'RE GOING TO PUT ON A STREET HOCKEY CLINIC HERE IN WEST JORDAN. THAT'S A NEW THING. WE'VE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE. SO THAT WILL BE PRETTY EXCITING. AND A COUPLE OTHER THINGS HAPPENING IN PUBLIC SERVICES WE'VE HAD OCCASIONALLY OVER THE YEARS. SOMEONE COME IN AND TALK ABOUT OUR NEED TO MAINTAIN THE MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR TRAIL. WE ARE DOING A HIGH DENSITY, HIGH DENSITY MINERAL BOND SURFACE TREATMENT ON THE MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR TRAIL FROM BORDER TO BORDER THAT'S COMING UP HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. SO WE ARE DOING SOME MAINTENANCE THERE. WELL, WILL THAT REQUIRE SORRY, CORBIN. WILL THAT REQUIRE THE CLOSURE OF THE TRAIL. WILL THAT GOES DOWN AND IF SO, FOR HOW LONG? AND PER SECTION. YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT, PAUL. USUALLY, YES, IT'LL HAVE TO BE CLOSED DOWN, BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG FOR IT TO BE READY FOR TRAFFIC ON IT. SO PROBABLY A DAY OR TWO AFTER. SO BRIAN'S SAYING ONE. SO. PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT. THEY'VE ALSO BEEN WORKING ON THE SYCAMORES. DISC GOLF THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THAT. AND ANY PLANS FOR THE OPENING THERE IN THAT AREA? CHIEF ROBERTSON MENTIONED EARLIER WAS STARTING THE PATROLS ON BANGERTER HIGHWAY ON JULY 1ST. WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THAT FREES UP OUR RESOURCES TO PATROL. MORE ON MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR, WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH

[00:50:02]

THIS IS INDEPENDENT OF WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE TAYLORSVILLE JUSTICE COURT, BUT IT WILL BENEFIT. IT WILL BENEFIT US EVEN MORE. WITH TAYLORSVILLE COMING OVER, WE LONG WANTED TO MAKE THAT AREA A LITTLE MORE EFFECTIVE FOR OUR BAILIFFS AND GET MORE VALUE OUT OF THE BAILIFFS WE HAVE. THEY CAN PROVIDE MORE SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. THIS REMODEL OF THAT LOBBY WILL MAKE THE FLOWS WORK A LITTLE BIT BETTER, BUT IT WILL ALSO ALLOW OUR BAILIFFS TO PROVIDE MORE SERVICES SO THAT WE'LL WE'RE PAYING FOR THEIR TIME ANYWAYS. LET'S KEEP THEM BUSY AND KEEP THEM OCCUPIED. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR YOU THIS EVENING. ANY QUESTIONS? NOPE. NO QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION. NO BLUE. OKAY. GO AHEAD. SORRY. THE 8600 SOUTH EXTENSION ONE ONE. IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN? I THINK YOU SAID THEY'VE ALREADY STARTED CONSTRUCTION. YEAH. COMPLETION THIS YEAR. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THOUGH. BRIAN, DO YOU KNOW WHEN 86 SOUTH SHOULD BE COMPLETED? OKAY. FALL TIME. THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE GIVEN US.

IT'LL BE DONE HOPEFULLY THIS YEAR. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT WE'LL MOVE TO CONSENT
