Oct 14, 2025 City Council Meeting

[CALL TO ORDER]

[00:00:09]

EVENING. WELCOME TO THE WEST JORDAN CITY COUNCIL. WE HAVE ALL OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT THIS EVENING, AS WELL AS STAFF AND LOTS OF PEOPLE. WE DO HAVE, YOU KNOW, THOSE 4 OR 5 CHAIRS RIGHT HERE IN FRONT. IF ANY OF YOU THAT ARE STANDING WANT TO BE BRAVE AND COME UP TO THEM, YOU'RE WELCOME TO. THEY'RE AVAILABLE. BUT I KNOW THAT CAN BE INTIMIDATING.

TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN OUR MEETING, AND MISS JACOBY HAS CONSENTED TO LEAD US. SO COME ON UP. AND. JUST. SAY I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. THANK YOU, MISS JOVIE. THAT WAS A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR ALL OF US. AND YOU

[a. West Jordan Police Department Badge Pinning Ceremony]

SERGEANT GAGE HOOGVELD, WHO WAS RECENTLY PROMOTED FROM DETECTIVE TO SERGEANT, IS NOW SERVING AS A DETECTIVE SERGEANT. HE WILL BE PINNED BY HIS WIFE, ASHLEY. THEN OUR NEW OFFICERS, JUSTICE ROSADO. HE WILL BE PINNED BY HIS GIRLFRIEND, SUSAN SHARP. SAL PACHECO AND SHE WILL BE PINNED BY HER TWO CHILDREN, JORAM AND SOPHIA, AND THEN JADE VARDALOS, WHO WILL BE PINNED BY HER GRANDFATHER, MICHAEL VARDALOS. COME ON UP ON THIS SIDE. NOW I'VE GIVEN THEM ALL INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT HOW TO DO THE PINNING, AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT DEPENDENT ON THE RECENT BEHAVIOR, THE INDIVIDUAL BEING PINNED, BECAUSE IF THEY'RE DOING WELL, YOU KNOW, SCOOT ON DOWN THEIR WAY, IF THEY'RE DOING WELL, THE BADGE PIN JUST GOES STRAIGHT DOWN, RIGHT. THEY HAVEN'T BEEN DOING SO WELL. YOU KNOW, IN ISRAEL WHEN PARATROOPERS ARE PINNED THEY JUST DRIVE THE PIN STRAIGHT IN WITHOUT ANY BACKING UNTIL THEY SEE BLOOD. DON'T DO THAT.

PLEASE. WAIT. WE DO HAVE A PARAMEDIC HERE IN CASE WE NEED TO. ALL RIGHT. WITH THAT, IF YOU GO AHEAD AND TAKE THE BADGES OUT AND RESPECTIVELY, PIN THOSE ON EACH ONE OF YOUR PARTNERS THERE. IF WE HEAR AN OUCH OR A SCREAM, THEN WE'LL KNOW THAT SOMEBODY DIDN'T DO IT QUITE RIGHT. OH YES, HUGGING IS FINE. PICTURES ARE GREAT. HUGS ARE GOOD TOO. THIS IS A TIME WHEN APPLE REALLY REALIZES HOW MUCH MONEY THEY MAKE WITH THESE PHONES THAT TAKE PICTURES. YOU CAN GET CLOSER IF YOU WANT. IT'S OKAY. AND AFTER YOUR FAMILIES ARE DONE, PLEASE REMAIN HERE AND WE ARE GOING TO STAND AND HAVE OUR PEOPLE TAKE A PICTURE. ALL RIGHT. I THINK.

IF YOU IF YOU WANT TO COME OVER HERE, YOU GOOD? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OVER HERE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

[00:05:12]

THANK YOU. THANK. THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING. IF IF YOU'RE HERE WITH A POLICEMAN AND YOU DON'T WANT TO STAY, THAT'S OKAY. YOU'LL MISS ALL THE EXCITEMENT.

BUT YOU KNOW. WE'LL HAVE THREE PUBLIC HEARINGS TONIGHT. THE FIRST ONE WILL BE ORDINANCE 2550, AMENDING CITY CODE SECTION 13, DASH FIVE, F, DASH TWO PERMITTED. AND WOULD YOU

[PUBLIC COMMENT]

IT'S UP TO YOU. AND IF YOU'RE HERE FROM WEST JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT GET EXTRA POINTS IF YOU COME UP AND SAY SOMETHING DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS. SO WE WILL START WITH PUBLIC COMMENTS I HAVE RECEIVED. A HUNTER JONES HAS FILLED OUT THE FORM, SO PLEASE COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME, CITY OF RESIDENCE AND YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. HELLO MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, I'M HUNTER JONES, I'M A RESIDENT OF WEST JORDAN. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME, SO PLEASE PARDON ME IF I MISS ANYTHING TODAY. I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY.

I RECENTLY HAD A FRIEND PASS AWAY FROM A PRETTY HORRIBLE ACCIDENT HERE IN ACTUALLY IN MURRAY. SO PRETTY CLOSE TO HERE, AND IT SADDENS ME TO SEE SO MANY AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AND VERY LITTLE ENFORCEMENT. I SEE A LOT OF OTHER CITIES AND A LOT OF OTHER STATES AT THE MOMENT, FOCUSING ON AGGRESSIVE DRIVING VERY HEAVILY WITH UNMARKED UNITS, AND THIS HAS BROUGHT INSURANCE DOWN. THIS HAS BROUGHT DEATHS DOWN FROM TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS.

AND I JUST I DON'T SEE NEARLY AS MUCH OF THAT IN THIS STATE. AND IT SEEMS LIKE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE TO ME. I'VE HAD A LOT OF FAMILY MEMBERS AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. ME, MYSELF. I'VE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS BEFORE HERE IN WEST JORDAN. I AM PERSONALLY CPR AND FIRST AID CERTIFIED, SO I'VE BEEN FIRSTHAND AT A LOT OF ACCIDENTS AND WITNESSED SOME HORRIFIC STUFF. I SEE A LOT OF POLICE OFFICERS RESPONDING TO CALLS THAT THEY SHOULD. AND I LOVE MY POLICE. I LOVE MY CITY.

I WANT THE BEST FOR MY CITY. BUT IT'S REALLY HARD TO SEE SO MANY ACCIDENTS AND HOW HIGH INSURANCE IS AND JUST THE AMOUNT THAT IT AFFECTS PEOPLE. PEOPLE LOSE THEIR CARS, THEY LOSE THEIR WAY OF WAY TO GET TO WORK, AND SOMETIMES THEY LOSE THEIR LIVES. DRUNK DRIVING IS A SUPER HUGE ISSUE HERE IN THIS COUNTY. I WANT TO SEE AS MUCH ENFORCEMENT AS POSSIBLE AS THE OUR LIVES ARE AT STAKE. THIS ISN'T SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS LOITERING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CRIME THAT HAS SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. I THINK THAT IT'S AN IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE INVESTMENT TO INVEST IN OUR POLICE, AND POSSIBLY AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVING UNIT OR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT TO GET THESE AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS OFF THE ROAD AND TO GET THE ROADS TO BE MORE OF A SAFE, REGULATED PLACE THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE. AGAIN, I SEE OTHER STATES LIKE FLORIDA WITH AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVING UNIT AND INSURANCE HAS GONE DOWN LIKE HALF OF WHAT IT USED TO BE. DEATHS ARE EXTRAORDINARILY LOW, DUIS ARE EXTREMELY LOW. AND THIS IS CLEARLY AN IMPORTANT INVESTMENT FOR OUR CITY AND OUR PEOPLE. THIS IS THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. AND THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT I THINK THAT WE SHOULD JUST GLANCE OVER AND BE LIKE, CHECK THAT ONE OFF THE DOCKET. LIKE, I THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING OUR COUNCILMAN SHOULD FOCUS ON. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LIKE OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON BECAUSE IT IT DOESN'T JUST DAMAGE PROPERTY, IT DAMAGES LIVES. AND IT SERIOUSLY AFFECTS

[00:10:01]

[a. Ordinance No. 25-50 Amending City Code Section 13-5F-2 Permitted and Conditional Uses to Allow Veterinary Services as a Permitted Use in the M-1 Zone]

COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN I'M GOING TO MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 25, DASH 50, ALLOWING VETERINARY SERVICES IS A PERMITTED USE IN THE M-1 ZONE. COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN. A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. ANY DISCUSSION TO THE MOTION? COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB. YES. I'LL BE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION TONIGHT, AS I BELIEVE ALLOWING THIS IN THIS ZONE WILL CUT DOWN ON THE CREMATIONS THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IN THIS ZONE. SO I THINK HOLDING ON, DOING THE PREVENTATIVE CARE HERE IS A GOOD IDEA. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION TO THE MOTION? SEEING NONE. MISS QUICK A VOTE PLEASE. CHAIR WHITELOCK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. GREEN. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER. BLOOM. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES.

[00:15:03]

[b. Ordinance No. 25-51 Petition to Rename the Cul-de-sac at 2290 West (off 7600 South) to Poison Spider Circle]

SO THAT IS HOW THAT WOULD GET UPDATED WITH THE DIFFERENT MAPPING SOFTWARE. THE VEC 911 EMERGENCY. SO THEY WOULD KNOW THE LOCATION OF THIS. SO TONIGHT WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN DECIDE IF THAT IS HOW YOU WANT TO PROCEED. THANK YOU, MR. ANDERSON. DO WE WANT TO HAVE THE APPLICANT COME UP? MR. ANDERSON, YOU YOU MAY THE APPLICANT IS TYLER. PATRICK. I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S HERE. THEY THEY ALL OF THE PETITIONERS WERE INVITED. MR. PATRICK, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME FORWARD AND USE YOUR THREE MINUTES? SO NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE, PLEASE. I'M TYLER PATRICK OF WEST JORDAN. SO I PETITION FOR A NAME CHANGE TO THE CIRCLE DUE TO THE FACT OF A LOT OF MAIL DELIVERY ISSUES, BECAUSE A LOT OF HOUSES ARE NUMBERED THE SAME, AND I SEEM TO BE THE BIGGEST ONE THAT HAS THAT ISSUE IN THE CIRCLE. AND ALSO, ANOTHER NEIGHBOR HAD AN AMBULANCE THAT ACTUALLY TURNED THE WRONG WAY WHEN WE WERE THROUGH THERE. AND WHEN I LOOKED INTO THE PETITION OF DOING THIS AND LOOKING INTO THIS AS A SUGGESTION FROM A POST OFFICE, THEY TOLD ME THAT WEST JORDAN CITY CODE WAS ALL CUL DE SACS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE NAMED, AND THIS SUBDIVISION DOESN'T HAVE ANY NAMES, ANY CUL DE SAC. SO I PUT THE PETITION IN. SO THAT'S IT. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND COUNCIL.

COUNCILMEMBER, WE HAVE QUESTIONS FOR TYLER. WILL YOU COME UP? WE HAVE A QUESTION. A BIG PART OF, YOU KNOW, THE PREVIOUS APPROVALS THAT WE'VE HAD WITH NAME CHANGES, THE NAME USUALLY HAS SOME SIGNIFICANCE TO WEST JORDAN. I DON'T SEE A SIGNIFICANT. SO I DON'T KNOW WITH THIS PARTICULAR NAME. IS THERE A REASON WHY THIS PARTICULAR NAME WAS CHOSEN? MOST OF THE COMMUNITY, MOST OF THE SUBDIVISIONS, OFF ROADERS. SO WE JUST KIND OF STUCK. I JUST KIND OF STUCK WITH AN OFF ROAD NAME WHEN I STARTED PUTTING NAMES OUT THERE TO EVERYBODY. SO. COUNCIL MEMBER BADER, ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU WHEN WE GOT THIS PACKET ORIGINALLY FROM THE COUNCIL OFFICE, THE THREE HOUSES DID THE THE PETITION, BUT THEN IT SAID THAT THE OTHER TWO WERE OKAY WITH IT OR NO, THEY WERE NO, THEY I DIDN'T GET A I DIDN'T GET A YES OR NO FROM ONE. AND I GOT A NO FROM THE OTHER ONE WHEN I PUT THE PETITION OUT.

OKAY. THAT'S NOT WHAT WE GOT FROM THE, THE COUNCIL OFFICE. THEN ABOUT THE I DIDN'T GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM ONE. THEY DIDN'T AGREE OR DISAGREE TO, TO ME DIRECTLY. AND THEN THE OTHER HOUSE, HE JUST HE JUST SAID NO. SO DID HE. DID YOU HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HIM ABOUT IT? HE JUST TAKE THE NO. AND HAD A CONVERSATION WITH EVERYBODY ABOUT IT. I DIDN'T LEAVE ANYBODY OUT. AND YOU GUYS COULDN'T COME TO ONE THAT ALL OF YOU COULD AGREE ON A NAME.

THE OTHER, THE ONE HOUSE, HE JUST DIDN'T WANT THE NAME CHANGE AT ALL. SO OKAY, I WOULD TOO MUCH CONFLICT. HE DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS. SO. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT SOME DUE DILIGENCE WAS DONE. YEAH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY.

[00:20:10]

TARANTULA, EGG ROAD, RABID DOG CIRCLE. THERE'S ALL KINDS OF NAMES THAT COULD BE COME UP THAT WOULD BE EQUALLY OFFENSIVE TO THE PEOPLE WHO RESIDE IN THIS AREA. FINALLY, THE CITY COUNCIL IN SECTION F WILL NOT CONSIDER A NAME CHANGE UNLESS THE PROPOSED NAME CHANGE IS WIDELY SUPPORTED BY THE WEST JORDAN CITY COMMUNITY. OUT OF THOSE FIVE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES, THREE WERE FOR TWO WERE OFFICIALLY NEUTRAL, 67% IS NOT WIDELY SUPPORTED JUST IN THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR THE PROPERTY VALUES OF THE PEOPLE IN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. WHO WOULD WANT TO BUY A HOUSE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS THAT LIVES ON THE STREET? POISON SPIDER CIRCLE WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THAT SIGNIFIES? I REALLY THINK THAT THIS DOES NOT CONFORM WITH CITY ORDINANCE EIGHT. DASH 15. DASH FOUR DOES NOT HAVE THE REQUIRED SUPPORT OF THE WEST JORDAN COMMUNITY, AND IS PLOPPING THIS NAME DOWN IN THE MIDST OF 16,000 OTHER RESIDENTS. THE MOST CERTAINLY WOULD NOT APPRECIATE THE ASSOCIATION AS IT COMES TO THEIR OWN HOMES. I WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL TO JUST CONSIDER THIS AS PART OF YOUR DELIBERATIONS, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE THAT WISHES TO SPEAK ON THIS? PLEASE COME FORWARD AGAIN. STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS RON KOSHO. WE LIVE IN WEST JORDAN. THIS IS MY WIFE, DENISE. WE RESIDE IN THE CUL DE SAC THAT IS PROPOSED FOR A STREET NAME CHANGE. 7600 SOUTH, 2290 WEST. WE ARE OPPOSED TO THIS PROPOSAL FOR A COUPLE REASONS, BEING THE OVERWHELMING INCONVENIENCE AND EXPENSE OF CHANGING OUR ADDRESS WITH ABSOLUTELY EVERY ENTITY WE DO BUSINESS WITH, INCLUDING THE STATE OF UTAH, SUCH AS IDS, DRIVER'S LICENSES, ETC. SECONDLY, WE JUST RECENTLY PAID FOR AN ATTORNEY TO DRAFT AND FINALIZE A TRUST FOR OUR ESTATE. WE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK TO HIM AND PAY FOR IT TO BE CHANGED. SINCE THIS IS A LEGAL BINDING DOCUMENT, WE WOULD WANT IT AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE. AND FOR THESE REASONS, WE ASK THE COUNCIL TO DENY THIS PROPOSAL CHANGE AS SUGGESTS AS AN ALTER ALTERNATIVE IF POSSIBLE, MAYBE THE PETITIONER COULD CHANGE THEIR HOUSE NUMBER BY TWO DIGITS, EITHER LOWER OR HIGHER, TO SOLVE THEIR MAIL DELIVERY ISSUES. I DON'T KNOW. SO THANK YOU MEMBERS FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS TOPIC. HAVE A GOOD EVENING.

THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC PLEASE COME FORWARD AGAIN. NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. I STANFIELD I LIVE IN WEST JORDAN. I'M THE ONE THAT SENT YOU GUYS THE EMAIL LAST NIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF. AND IT'S BEEN PASSED OUT. I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO BRUSH ACROSS MY MAIN TOPICS ON ALL OF THIS. THE BIGGEST THING BEING THE FINANCIAL BURDEN FOR EVERYBODY ON, AGAIN, PASSPORTS, IDS, ANY KIND OF DOCUMENTS, CARDS, YOU KNOW, LOAN, ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF. IT'S JUST SEEMS LIKE A LOGISTICAL NIGHTMARE, NOT ONLY ON THAT SIDE, BUT ON THIS CITY SIDE OF HAVING TO PAY FOR ALL THIS OF THE CHANGE AND

[00:25:08]

ALL OF YOU LIVE TOGETHER. SOME LIKE IT, SOME DON'T. SO EITHER WAY, SOMEONE'S NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT THE DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE. WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST IS, YOU KNOW, IF THIS IS VOTED DOWN IS MAYBE THE CIRCLE IF THEY WANT TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE A NAME, HAVE A NAME THAT EVERYONE AGREES ON BECAUSE IT'S HARD IF THERE'S THREE HOMES THAT LIKE IT AND TWO HOMES THAT DON'T, BECAUSE YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE THE TWO HOMES THAT ARE GOING TO HATE THE NEW NAME IF THEY CHANGE IT. SO JUST SOME THOUGHTS AS WE GET READY TO VOTE TONIGHT. COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. SO MY MY COMMENTS KIND OF ECHO YOURS. I LIVE ON COPPER VALLEY LANE, WHICH ALSO HAS A COORDINATE OF 8710 SOUTH. SO MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS MAYBE IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL BECAUSE YOU COULD KEEP THE NUMBER ALONG WITH THE NAME AND MAIL WOULD GET DELIVERED TO EITHER THE NAME OR THE COORDINATE FOR THAT CIRCLE. I COULD BE WRONG ON THAT, BUT IN MY MIND THAT SEEMS LIKE IT COULD WORK. NOT BEING AN OFF ROADER, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF POISONOUS POISON SPIDER OTHER THAN WHAT'S BEEN EXPLAINED TO ME. BUT NOT BEING AN OFF ROADER GIVES ME A LITTLE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. AND IN KIND OF WHAT OUR RESIDENT MR. BENNETT BROUGHT UP WAS, IT KIND OF HAS A SOMEWHAT NEGATIVE CONNOTATION IN THE THE POISON SIDE OF IT, MAYBE, PERHAPS NOT THE SPIDER, BUT TOGETHER AS POISON SPIDER. I DON'T PERSONALLY LOVE THE NAME, BUT I DON'T HAVE TO LIVE THERE. SO I'M I'M KIND OF WAFFLING ON THIS. I'M NOT SURE WHERE I'LL VOTE. I NEED TO CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING. SO I AM CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND NOW WE WILL HAVE DISCUSSION. AND NEXT UP IS COUNCIL MEMBER. STOP MOVING YOUR BUTTONS.

[00:30:01]

IT'S MAYBE, YOU KNOW, WAITING A BIT AND COMING UP WITH SOMETHING THAT IS MORE, YOU KNOW, AN IDENTITY FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS MAYBE WEST JORDAN RELATED OR MAYBE NOT A NAME THAT ALSO RELATES TO SEVERAL BUSINESSES, BECAUSE I DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN ABOUT THAT, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE DOING THIS PROPERLY AND BRINGING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER RATHER THAN SPLITTING A COMMUNITY APART. COUNCIL VICE CHAIR BADER I WILL ALSO SAY THAT I LIVE ON A ROAD THAT HAS BOTH NAME AND NUMBER, AND SO I THAT THAT ARGUMENT, I THINK IS, IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE MOOT. BUT MY REAL CONCERN HERE IS THAT WE'VE GOT A SITUATION WHERE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT, THERE'S CONTENTION WITHIN A NEIGHBORHOOD OF FIVE. AND THAT'S WHAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT BEFORE THINGS CAME TO THE THING OF HAVING TO COME TO A VOTE AND COME TO US TO DECIDE THAT FIVE HOUSEHOLDS COULD HAVE COME UP WITH A PLAN TOGETHER, I WILL SAY FROM MY POINT OF VIEW.

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THREE PEOPLE LIKE TO GO DO SOMETHING, OR THREE HOUSEHOLDS LIKE TO GO DO SOMETHING TOGETHER. THEY SHARE THIS THING. POISON SPIDER CIRCLE IS NOW KIND OF THEIR INSIDE JOKE. THEIR THEIR INSIDE BOND. AND BY DOING THAT, THEY'VE EXCLUDED THE OTHER TWO.

THAT IS SOMETHING I, I DON'T LIKE. TO ME IT'S, IT'S, YOU KNOW, LIKE A FRAT PARTY THAT DIDN'T ALLOW A COUPLE OF PEOPLE TO THE FRAT PARTY. I GET IT AGAIN WITH THE, THE SUPPORT AND THE, YOU KNOW, THE CAMARADERIE AND ALL OF THAT. BUT I THINK THAT I WILL BE VOTING NO. I'LL JUST SAY NOT BECAUSE WE SHOULDN'T HAVE A NAME CHANGE, BUT I THINK IF IT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE. MORE COHESIVENESS FROM THE FIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT SPEAKS MORE TOWARD A. A BROADER SCAPE. I PERSONALLY, WEIRDLY WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM MOVING ON TO SOMETHING CALLED POISON SPIDER CIRCLE, AND I DO CRAZY WEIRD THINGS, SO THAT'S SAYING A LOT. IF I'M SAYING SOMETHING, THE NAME JUST DIDN'T. I ALSO DIDN'T MOVE TO THE CITY ROY, BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO LIVE IN A CITY NAMED ROY. BUT SO NAMES DO MATTER, AND I, I WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER WITH THE NAME OF ALL FIVE OF YOU WERE A PART OF THE SAME FRAT, BUT IT IT JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT THAT WAY. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB THANK YOU.

THE THE IDEA OF ALLOWING A PETITION TO COME TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO RENAME A STREET.

TOOK LIKE A COUPLE OF YEARS FOR US TO LIKE, DIGEST THROUGH THAT WHOLE IDEA, TO EVEN ALLOW THIS AS A PROCESS. AND IT WAS A CITIZENS GROUP OF COPPER HILLS HIGH SCHOOL PARENTS AND. AND COMMUNITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THINGS. WHO INITIATED THAT? BECAUSE COPPER HILLS HIGH SCHOOL WAS ON NEW BINGHAM HIGHWAY, AND THEY DIDN'T LIKE HAVING THEIR HIGH SCHOOL ON SOME OTHER NAMES, SOME OTHER TEAMS. STREET. RIGHT. THE OTHER TEAM'S STREET, JUST LIKE YOU WOULDN'T WANT UTAH JAZZ DELTA CENTER TO BE ON LAKERS DRIVE OR GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS AVENUE.

SO THAT WAS THE IMPETUS BEHIND ALLOWING THIS WHOLE THING. WE'VE DONE IT EXACTLY TWICE. WE RENAMED NEW BINGHAM HIGHWAY BETWEEN 78 SOUTH AND 5600 WEST. WE RENAMED IT COPPER HILLS PARKWAY. SEEMS FITTING. DEFINITELY HAS A NEXUS TO THE CITY. HAS A CLEAR, CLEAR MEANING, A CLEAR REASON TO DO IT. AND WE DID JUST LAST. YEAH, JUST A COUPLE MONTHS BACK.

[00:35:04]

IT'S A IT'S A CONNECTOR, BUT IT SERVES AS A REMINDER FOR EVERYBODY THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED THERE, SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT WAS DEFINING FOR OUR COMMUNITY. SO THIS IS A NICE TEST CASE TO SEE WHAT WE DO WHEN WHEN IT'S JUST SOMEBODY WHO JUST WANTS TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THEIR STREET. AND, AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON IS BECAUSE SOMEBODY WANTS TO.

AND SOMEBODY AND A COUPLE OF HIS NEIGHBORS WANT TO THAT WHICH IS, WHICH IS GREAT AND ALL. AND I APPRECIATE THE, THE EFFORT AND THE. THE THE DESIRE TO IMPROVE. JUST QUICK ASIDE, I GREW UP IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND NONE OF THE STREETS HAD NAMES. YOU MIGHT GET A FIRST STREET AND A SECOND STREET, BUT YOU DIDN'T GET 102 HUNDRED AND 309,400. I REMEMBER GETTING MY COUSIN'S ADDRESS, HAVING HIM WRITE IT DOWN FOR ME, AND HE SAID HE LIVED ON LIKE ONE, THREE, FOUR WEST AND 200 SOUTH. AND I SAID, OKAY, NOW WHAT STREET IS IT? I JUST THOUGHT HE HAD TWO NUMBERS, TWO HOUSE NUMBERS. I DIDN'T GET IT. I GET IT NOW. IT MAKES SENSE, I LIKE IT. THAT'S AN ASIDE. SO IN ANY CASE, I. I'M ACTUALLY IN AGREEMENT WITH MR. BENNETT WHO SPOKE FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER BENNETT WHO SAID I HAVE THAT SAME SECTION OF CODE PULLED UP.

I WAS ACTUALLY READING ALONG WITH YOU WHEN YOU SAID, WHERE'D YOU GO? THERE YOU ARE. I WAS READING ALONG WITH YOU AND AND SAYING THAT IT MUST COMMEMORATE A PERSON OR GROUP WHO'S MADE A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO THE WEST JORDAN COMMUNITY. I THINK COPPER HILLS APPLIES. I THINK ELI MITCHELL APPLIES. I DON'T THINK POISON SPIDER APPLIES AND MUST REFLECT THE CHARACTER, LANDSCAPE, NATURAL AMENITY, FLORA OR FAUNA OR FUNCTION OF THE SITE OR THE AREA. I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY A NAME THAT WILL WORK. I JUST DON'T THINK YOU FOUND IT WITH THIS APPLICATION. SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING AN APPLICATION FORWARD, FOR GIVING THE COUNCIL A TEST CASE TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN WHEN IT CAME FORWARD WITHOUT A SPECIFIC MOTIVATING EVENT. BUT IN THIS CASE, I'M, I'M, I'M A NO ON THIS NAME, BUT I'M NOT OPPOSED TO TRYING AGAIN.

COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN, MR. LANGFORD. YOU'RE THE YOU'RE THE YOU'RE THE MAGIC KNOW IT ALL IN THE CITY. I GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU, IF YOU DON'T MIND COMING TO FORWARD. MAYBE YOU KNOW THE. I KNOW THAT YOU'VE GOT A LONGER HISTORY WITH THE CITY THAN I DO. I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE OLD, BY THE WAY, BUT I AM. WE HEARD FROM THE APPLICANT WHERE HE SAID THAT TRADITIONALLY CUL DE SACS HAVE A NAME IN THE CITY. THIS ONE DIDN'T, AND THERE MAY BE SOME CONFUSION WITH THE COORDINATES AND RESPONSES AND MAIL. ARE WE SUPPOSED TO NAME THE CUL DE SACS IN THE CITY? THERE'S NOT A RIGHT OR WRONG. THERE'S NOT A LANGUAGE IN THE CODE OR STANDARDS THAT SAY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. WE COORDINATE WHEN WE GET A NEW SUBDIVISION PLAT IN, WE REVIEW WHAT THE DEVELOPERS BRING IN, AND WE DOUBLE CHECK THAT WITH THE SALT LAKE COUNTY. AND AND SO THERE ISN'T THAT THAT SPECIFIC GUIDANCE IN OUR CODE. OKAY.

THANK YOU. YEP. MY MY COMMENT IS KIND OF I MEAN I AGREE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER BEDAU WHAT HE SAID. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB I, I THINK LOOKING BACK AT WHAT WE'VE DONE, CHANGING THE NAME OF A STREET NORMALLY HAS SOME SIGNIFICANCE. SO MY FIRST QUESTION WOULD BE IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH POSTAL SERVICE DELIVERY OR WITH. AMBULANCE OR POLICE RESPONSE, THEN DOES THAT FALL ON? I'M ACTUALLY THINKING THAT THAT MIGHT FALL OUTSIDE THIS ORDINANCE. THIS ORDINANCE WAS DESIGNED TO COMMEMORATE THINGS OR THOSE KIND OF THINGS LIKE WE'VE LIKE WE'VE HEARD WITH WHAT FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER BENNETT SAID, WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER JACOBS SAID. IF THERE'S

[00:40:05]

I THINK THAT'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE FIX NOT A COUNCIL FIX. AND SO THAT'S WHERE I LIE WITH THAT. SO THAT'S WHERE I WOULD SAY THAT'S WHAT I'M I'M GOING TO VOTE NO.

BUT I THINK THAT I, I AND I AGREE WITH THE FACT THAT WHAT I DON'T WANT TO DO IS PIT NEIGHBOR AGAINST NEIGHBOR. AND IF IF WE VOTE YES, THEN THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO NEIGHBORS MAD.

IF WE VOTE NO, THERE'S THREE NEIGHBORS MAD. AND SO. I JUST LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF KUMBAYA IF WE'RE GOING TO NAME A STREET. IF YOU SAW THAT, THAT THE COMMUNITY THAT CAME TOGETHER WHEN WE WERE RENAMING ELI MITCHELL WAY AND YOU HAD THIS, THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY WAS DOWNSTAIRS, THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. AND ACROSS THE STREET, THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY ROOM PACKED WITH SOMETHING, WITH SOMEBODY THAT SAID, YEAH, WE WANT TO RENAME THE STREET.

THAT'S AN OUTPOURING OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT. IT'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE. AND AND THAT'S WHERE I WOULD. AND IF WE NEED TO MODIFY AN ORDINANCE, LET'S MODIFY AN ORDINANCE. BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE THE ORDINANCE WE'RE TRYING TO DO THIS UNDER IS A COMMEMORATIVE NAME CHANGE. AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO VOTE NO OKAY. I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND WEIGH IN. I WANT TO START WITH I THINK THE CITY DID DO SOMETHING. THEY DID ADD A SIGN.

WE HEARD THAT. SO THERE IS A SIGN THAT THE CITY HEARD THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND THEY PUT UP ANOTHER SIGN. SO THAT WAS GOOD. MANY STREETS AND CIRCLES SHARE THE SAME NAME. THEY'RE USUALLY A NAME INSTEAD OF A NUMBER, BUT THEY SHARE IT. BUT FOR ME IT'S MAINLY IT. IT DOESN'T FOLLOW CODE. OUR CODE IS, AS WE'VE HEARD, STARTING WITH MR. BENNETT AND MOVING DOWN THE LINE. IT DOESN'T MEET ANY OF THE THINGS THAT WERE LISTED IN THE CODE. SO FOR THOSE REASONS,

[00:45:07]

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO I SEE NO FURTHER LIGHTS. MISS QUICK, A VOTE PLEASE. WE HAVEN'T HAD A MOTION YET. OH MY GOSH, I APOLOGIZE. I HAVE A MIGRAINE TODAY AND I'M NOT DOING WELL.

SO. SO THAT'S WHY I INTERRUPTED YOU? BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO MOVE THAT I'M GOING TO MOVE TO DENY OR NOT APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 2551. I'LL SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB TO DENY THE ASK. AND COUNCIL DIRECTOR ANDERSON, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO SHARE? I JUST WANTED TO REMIND THE COUNCIL THAT A THAT A YES VOTE IS TO DENY A NO VOTE IS TO DOUBLE NEGATIVE, NOT DENY. YES. NOW, MISS QUICK. A VOTE.

COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. BLOOM. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES.

VICE CHAIR. BADER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. GREEN. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. I DON'T LIKE THE WORD DENYING A VOTE. NO. OKAY. AND CHAIR WHITELOCK. YES, I'M SHOWING THAT MOTION TO DENY

[c. Ordinance No. 25-49 Amending West Jordan City Code Section 13-5E-3 Allowing Motor Vehicle Sales as a Conditional Use in the C-M (Heavy Commercial) Zone.]

THIS APPLICATION IS A RESULT OF A VOTE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL TOOK IN A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING OF JULY 22ND, 2025. IT WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO ALLOW MOTOR VEHICLE SALES IN THE COMMERCIAL MANUFACTURING ZONE. AT PRESENT, THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 199 ACRES OF PROPERTY ZONED COMMERCIAL MANUFACTURING. YOU HAVE A AERIAL OF THOSE AREAS IN YOUR STAFF REPORT, THE ONE THAT REALLY SPURRED THIS DISCUSSION IS A 3.2 ACRE PIECE OF PROPERTY ON THE CORNER OF 7800 SOUTH AND AIRPORT ROAD. IT'S ACTUALLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF SUNBELT RENTALS AND THE GLASS SHOP. THEY WERE REQUESTING TO DO MOTOR VEHICLE SALES IN THAT ZONE, BUT THEY COULD NOT BECAUSE IT'S NOT ALLOWED IN THE ZONE. IF THIS IS APPROVED, MOTOR VEHICLE SALES WILL BE ALLOWED IN ALL COMMERCIAL ZONES, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SC ONE ZONE. AND I THINK IT'S PRUDENT NOT TO DO IT IN THE SC ONE ZONES, BECAUSE MOST OF THOSE ZONES ARE ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. SO DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? MR. GARDNER? HOW HOW MANY OF THESE ZONES WOULD IT APPLY TO THEN? HOW MANY DO WE HAVE LEFT THAT ARE ZONED? WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I'M NOT FOLLOWING YOU.

IF IF WE'RE SAYING IT'S FOR ANY ZONE, HOW MANY CM ZONES ARE THERE IN THE CITY? THERE'S ACTUALLY THREE DIFFERENT PROPERTIES TOTALING 199 ACRES. SO. OR THREE DIFFERENT AREAS, THE LARGEST BEING ACROSS FROM INTERSTATE BRICK. BUT THAT'S MOSTLY TAKEN UP BY THE TRACK STATION, A SUBSTATION AND A LARGE DETENTION POND. I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY 20 ACRES OR SO LEFT THAT IS COULD BE DEVELOPED, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S PRIME LOCATION FOR CAR LOT, QUITE FRANKLY. SO THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MISTER GARDNER? OKAY. THANK YOU.

WE WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. IF YOU'RE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS, PLEASE COME FORWARD. SOMETIMES

[00:50:03]

THEN I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR A POSSIBLE MOTION OR DISCUSSION. COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN I WAS GOING TO MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 25, DASH 49, ALLOWING MOTOR VEHICLE SALES IN A ZONE. COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON I SECOND THE MOTION. ANY DISCUSSION TO THE MOTION? OKAY. SEEING NONE. DID I CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? THANK YOU. OH, I AM SO SORRY, MISS QUICK, A VOTE, PLEASE. COUNCIL MEMBER LAMB. YES, COUNCILOR. VICE CHAIR. BADOR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. GREEN. YES. CHAIR. WHITELOCK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. BLOOM. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. THANK YOU.

[a. Ordinance No. 25-54 Amendment to West Jordan City Code Title 7, adding Chapter 6 (Golf Carts)]

NOTHING TO, LIKE I SAY, NOTHING NEW. EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN DISCUSSED BEFORE. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS. COUNCIL MEMBER BLOOM, DO WE HAVE A PLAN FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION VIA SOCIAL MEDIA? ANYTHING TO CLARIFY THE NEW LAW? POTENTIAL NEW LAW BEFORE CITATIONS BEGIN? AND CAN THIS BE COMBINED WITH THE CITY'S E-BIKE AND SCOOTER EDUCATION CAMPAIGN THAT WE'VE MENTIONED PRIOR MEETINGS? IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW, BUT I PERSONALLY VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE TO MARIE. IF IF I CAN BE PART OF A VIDEO OR SOMETHING, I WOULD VOLUNTEER, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF MR. LEE HAS HAS MORE INFORMATION. I'M JUST WAITING TO SEE WHAT ELSE YOU VOLUNTEER FOR. EVERYTHING. WELL, YEAH. AFTER THE VOTE HAPPENS TONIGHT, WE'LL SEE HOW THE VOTE TURNS OUT AND THEN GO FROM THERE ON THE COMMUNICATIONS. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB, I PERSONALLY THINK PATRICK VOICE SHOULD BE THE FACE OF THE CITY IN ALL PUBLIC FACING COMMUNICATIONS. OTHER DUTIES AS ASSIGNED, OTHER DUTIES. THAT'S RIGHT. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? COUNCIL MEMBER LAMB I'LL BE VOTING NO TONIGHT. I HAVE NOT HAD ONE PERSON CONTACT ME. I'VE NOT HAD ONE EMAIL. I'VE NOT HAD ONE CALL. I HAVE SEEN NOTHING ON FACEBOOK.

I'VE SEEN NOTHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA. THERE'S NO DEMAND TO HAVE GOLF CARTS ALLOWED ON THE STREETS. I THINK THERE'S A SAFETY ISSUE. I THINK OUR POLICE OFFICERS ALSO MENTIONED SOME SAFETY ISSUES WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS. AND, YOU KNOW, IF WE LIVED IN A GOLF CART COMMUNITY, I MIGHT FEEL DIFFERENTLY IF WE LIVED IN, YOU KNOW, EVEN DAYBREAK WOULD MAKE A LOT OF SENSE. BUT DAYBREAK DOESN'T ALLOW GOLF CARTS ON THEIR STREETS, WHICH IS PROBABLY A SAFETY ISSUE. SO I KNOW I'M NOT THE MAJORITY HERE, BUT YEAH, THIS IS SOMETHING

[00:55:04]

I'M GOING TO BE IN FAVOR OF THIS. I AGREE, THERE HASN'T BEEN A LOT OF OUTCRY. THERE HASN'T BEEN A LOT OF DEMAND, A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, CLAMOR FOR THIS. HOWEVER, IT'S IT'S PROVIDING MORE. THIS IS I GUESS I'M SO CLICHE. IT'S PROVIDING MORE FREEDOM, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. IT'S ALLOWING SOMETHING THAT WASN'T ALLOWED PREVIOUSLY. AND AND I'M GENERALLY IN FAVOR FOR THAT. I REMEMBER ONE OF MY FIRST CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS I EVER ATTENDED LONG BEFORE I WAS ELECTED, HEARING THE MAYOR AT THAT TIME, WHO AT THAT TIME WAS A MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL, SAY, WELL, IF OUR CODE DOESN'T ALLOW IT, THEN IT'S PROHIBITED. AND I WAS THINKING HOW ANTITHETICAL TO AMERICA THAT WAS, IN MY OPINION, YOU KNOW, IT'S WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A FREE COUNTRY.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FREE. WE DON'T HAVE WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SPELL OUT EVERYTHING THAT'S ALLOWED IN OUR CODE. SO THIS IS IN MY OPINION, AND AGAIN, IT SOUNDS CLICHE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A BIGGER DEAL THAN I THINK IT REALLY IS. BUT FOR ME, IT'S A SMALL STEP MOVING TOWARDS BEING MORE PERMISSIVE. AND IF IT SHOWS ITSELF TO BE A PROBLEM, WE CAN PULL IT BACK. BUT UNTIL IT UNTIL IT SHOWS ITSELF TO BE A PROBLEM, I'M IN FAVOR OF ALLOWING IT AND I'M NOT SEEING ANY LIGHTS. I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2554. OH I'LL SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB, A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER BLOOM. ANY DISCUSSION? MISS QUICK, ABOUT PLEASE. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB. YES. CHAIR. WHITELOCK. NO. COUNCIL MEMBER. BLOOM. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. CHILTON. YES. VICE CHAIR. BADOR. NO. COUNCIL MEMBER. GREEN. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. NO. OKAY, I SHOW THAT MOTION PASSED 4 TO 3.

WHAT WE WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY IS THAT THE THE POOLS AND EVERYTHING OF THE WEST NILE VIRUS ARE EXTREMELY HIGH. TO PUT IT IN CONTEXT, SALT LAKE COUNTY THIS YEAR, JUST SALT LAKE COUNTY HAD EIGHT CASES OF WEST NILE VIRUS. AND LAST YEAR IN THE ENTIRE STATE, WE HAD EIGHT. THIS YEAR, IF I REMEMBER THE NUMBER RIGHT FROM THE FROM THE REPORT, WE'VE HAD 48 CASES OF OR THAT WAS. YEAH. AND 48 CASES. THAT'S LIKE DOUBLE WHAT WE HAD ACROSS THE STATE LAST YEAR. IT'S IT'S VERY SCARY. THERE'S ALSO A COUPLE OF OTHER DISEASES I CAN'T SAY THEM

[01:00:01]

PROBABLY THE ONLY TIME I'LL EVER STAND IN FRONT OF THE UNITED STATE SUPREME COURT AND ACTUALLY ADDRESSED THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND MADE A MOTION. SO THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBER, SHELTON. I BELIEVE THE COUNCIL MAY ALREADY BE AWARE, BUT I'D LIKE TO JUST GIVE A BRIEF RUNDOWN. I ATTENDED A CONFERENCE IN INDIANA CALLED PROJECT CIVILITY. IT WAS IT WAS ABOUT HAVING MORE, BETTER CIVIL DISCOURSE AND IN PUBLIC FORUMS ESPECIALLY. AND A GREAT CONFERENCE. I WAS VERY INTERESTED IN THE CONFERENCE SUBJECT MATTER, BUT I WAS ACTUALLY MORE INTERESTED IN THE CONFERENCE'S LOCATION, WHICH HAPPENED TO BE A CITY NAMED CARMEL, INDIANA. CARMEL IS BOASTS PERHAPS THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF LIVING IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES, AND THEY RUN THEIR CITY VERY DIFFERENTLY THAN MOST CITIES. AND I'VE BEEN VERY INTERESTED, AND I'VE BEEN STUDYING THEIR CITY, SO I WANTED TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO AND VISIT IN CARMEL. THEY HAVE MORE ROUNDABOUTS THAN ANY OTHER CITY IN THE UNITED STATES.

THEIR CITY IS VERY SIMILAR DEMOGRAPHICALLY TO OURS. THEY'RE A SUBURB OF INDIANAPOLIS. THEY HAVE 110,000 RESIDENTS. THERE. SO THEIR THEIR FOOTPRINT AND THEIR NUMBER OF RESIDENTS IS SLIGHT, IS SMALLER THAN THAN WEST JORDAN CITY. BUT VERY A LOT OF SIMILARITIES NONETHELESS. I SPOKE WITH SOME ENGINEERS AT THE CITY HALL. I JUST DROPPED IN UNANNOUNCED. THEY WERE OVER OVER THE TOP, EXCITED TO HAVE ME SHOW INTEREST IN THEIR CITY.

THEY WERE JUST ELATED TO TALK ABOUT THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND AND MY INTEREST IN THEM. THEY HAVE GRACIOUSLY AGREED TO HAVE A ONE HOUR ONLINE MEETING WITH OFFICIALS FROM OUR CITY, AND AS I UNDERSTAND IT, MR. LEE IS WORKING TO SET THAT MEETING UP AND ANYONE ON OUR COUNCIL WOULD BE INVITED TO ATTEND THAT MEETING. THERE WILL BE AN INVITED TO ATTEND THAT MEETING AS WELL AS CITY OFFICIALS. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE TO TALK WITH ME ABOUT THAT FURTHER, I'D LOVE TO DO SO. AND. ALSO, WE ATTENDED ULK UTAH LEAGUE OF CITIES AND

[01:05:01]

THIS SHOW, THE HASTY HEART, ACTUALLY MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO ME, AND I'M KIND OF SAD I'M NOT IN THE SHOW. IT WAS ONE I DID AT THE OLD ORIGINAL HALE CENTER THEATER, PROBABLY 36, 37 YEARS AGO, PLAYING A DYING SCOTTISH SOLDIER. BUT IT IS. IT IS A PLAY THAT THE BEST WAY TO JUST DESCRIBE IT IS IF YOU JUST PICTURE THE BEST EPISODE OF MASH. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS. IT'S GOT COMEDY, IT'S GOT DRAMA. I WILL TELL YOU ONE QUICK ANECDOTE. IT'S VERY SAD. IN POINTS IN THE OLD HALE CENTER THEATER, THEY LITERALLY SAT RIGHT ON TOP OF YOU WHILE YOU WERE TRYING TO DO A SHOW. AND I WAS HAVING THIS VERY EMOTIONAL SCENE WITH SOMEONE, AND THERE'S AN AUDIENCE MEMBER ABOUT A FOOT AND A HALF AWAY FROM MY FACE, AND I GIVE THIS SUPER SAD LINE, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WOMAN PUTS HER HAND ON MY THIGH AND JUST GOES, THIS IS SO SAD. BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND TO GO SEE IT. IT WAS A SHOW THAT IN SOME WAYS WAS KIND OF CURSED TRYING TO PUT IT TOGETHER. IT TAKES A LOT FOR THESE PEOPLE TO EARN. THERE ARE LIKE SIX DIFFERENT ACCENTS THAT TAKE PLACE IN THIS. IT'S A BUNCH OF MEN IN A WORLD WAR TWO HOSPITAL, SO I WOULD RECOMMEND TO PLEASE TRY AND SEE THE SHOW AND PASS IT ON TO OTHERS AGAIN. IT RUNS, OPENS THURSDAY, RUNS TILL THE 25TH EVERY NIGHT BUT SUNDAY AND IT'S IN OUR BRAND NEW BUILDING, SO WE NEED TO SUPPORT THAT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ITEM UP IS MR. ANDERSON'S REPORT. THANK YOU.

[c. Mayor’s Report]

AND THEN THERE WAS THE STOP SIGN OVER THERE, AND PEOPLE WERE CLAIMING THAT THEY WEREN'T SEEING THE STOP SIGN. SO PUBLIC WORKS HAVE MOVED THE STOP SIGN. SO IT'S IN THE PARK STRIP NOW, AND YOU CAN SEE THERE IT IS NOW LIGHTED, SO HOPEFULLY THAT'LL MAKE IT SO PEOPLE KNOW THAT THERE IS A STOP SIGN. THEY JUST DROVE THROUGH IT THINKING THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO STOP BECAUSE THEY WERE THE BIGGER STREET. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THAT. YES, THE LIGHTS FOR THAT STOP SIGN HAPPENED TO COME OFF OF ANOTHER STOP SIGN IN THE CITY THAT NO LONGER HAS LIGHTS. YES, I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THAT. OKAY, BECAUSE WE ORDERED THESE. I KNOW WHICH ONE, BUT WE'RE WAITING FOR THEM TO COME IN. THEY DIDN'T COME IN, SO WE TOOK THEM OFF THE STREET. THAT WAS

[01:10:04]

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOTICED. SO THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE. WE THAT ACTUALLY GOT PUT ON THE AFTERNOON OF THIS CAR ACCIDENT. SO THE CITY RESPONDED QUICKLY TO THAT. I ASK YOU A QUESTION ABOUT THAT. YES. IT'S LIGHTED, SOLAR POWERED. YES. DOES IT DOES THAT KEEP GOING ALL NIGHT LONG UNTIL THE SUN COMES UP? OR DOES IT KIND OF DIE OUT? HAS A BATTERY IN THERE.

THE SOLAR PANELS. THE BATTERY LASTS ALL NIGHT LONG. YES. OKAY. IT'LL GO A COUPLE OF DAYS IN CASE IT'S CLOUDY DAYS OR OVERCAST. THE BATTERY WILL HOLD UP FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS OF RECHARGE. GOOD QUESTION. THANKS FOR ASKING QUESTIONS AND THE ANSWERS TO I LIKE IT THAT WAY.

NOW, I'VE GOT A SECOND QUESTION FOR YOU ABOUT THIS INTERSECTION. IF WE'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CARS WITH STOP AND WE HAVE TO DO THAT WITH STOP SIGN, ARE WE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS? BECAUSE THAT'S A SCHOOL ZONE. THAT'S WHERE THERE'S A SCHOOL CROSSING, RIGHT? THAT IS CORRECT. WE HAVE A CROSSING GUARD. WE HAVE A CROSSING GUARD, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A CROSSING GUARD THEREAFTER. AND, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL HOURS, IS THAT THE KIND OF INTERSECTION THAT WOULD BE TARGETED WITH ONE OF THOSE CROSSWALKS THAT YOU PUSH THE BUTTON AND IT'S GOT ALL THE FLASHING LIGHTS AND ALL THAT STUFF THE TO GO ACROSS. I'M WONDERING IF THAT SHOULDN'T BE HERE TOO. YES. IF WE WEREN'T PUTTING A SIGNAL LIGHT AT THAT INTERSECTION, THEN YES. WHAT ARE THOSE CONTROLLED SIGNAL FLASHES FOR? A CROSSING WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. THE THE THE SIGNAL LIGHTS BEEN FUNDED AND THE ORDER HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE COUNTY. SO WE I DON'T EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN THIS YEAR. IT'LL BE NEXT YEAR WHEN THE SIGNAL LIGHT ACTUALLY GOES IN. SO THIS STOP SIGN IS JUST TEMPORARY UNTIL THE SIGNAL LIGHT GOES IN. AND THEN SO I'M JUST WONDERING, WOULD WOULD ONE OF THOSE CONTROLLED CROSSWALK FLASH? I MEAN, THEY CAN'T BE THAT EXPENSIVE THAT WE COULDN'T THROW ONE IN HERE UNTIL WE GET A STOPLIGHT. IF THAT'S CAUSING TRAFFIC, YOU KNOW, PEDESTRIAN ISSUES, IT'S JUST SOMETHING WE PROBABLY OUGHT TO LOOK AT. GOOD SUGGESTION. THANK YOU. OKAY. UPCOMING CITY EVENTS ON OCTOBER 15TH WE'RE GOING TO HAVE CRAFT AND CRAVINGS, WHICH MEANS YOU DON'T CRAVE THE CRAFTS, BUT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO EAT SOME TREATS. THAT'S YOUR CRAVINGS TO FILL THOSE CRAVINGS WHILE YOU'RE CREATING CRAFTS THAT'LL BE HAPPENING AT THE CANYON VIEW CREDIT UNION COMMUNITY AND ART CENTER ON OCTOBER 15TH. SO THAT IS TOMORROW. HEY. AND THEN MEET THE CANDIDATES WILL BE HERE IN THIS ROOM ON OCTOBER 16TH. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO TO VOTE FOR, COME HERE AND GET SOME INFORMATION FROM THEM. OUR GOLD STAR MEMORIAL IS HAPPENING THIS SATURDAY, SO WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO JOIN US FOR THE GOLD STAR MEMORIAL. I'M EXPECTING THE COUNCIL TO BE THERE AND LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. THE FORECAST LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY, SO WE'RE READY FOR IT. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT CONTRIBUTION TO OUR VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS CLASSES ARE CONTINUING THURSDAY AT 730 TO 930 IN THE COMMUNITY ROOM.

DUMPSTER DAYS. OUR LAST ONE OF THE YEAR WILL BE OCTOBER 25TH. SO IF YOU'VE GOT SOME TRASH THAT YOU'VE BEEN SAVING UP FOR THIS SPECIAL OCCASION, BRING IT OUT. WE'D LOVE TO TO GET THAT OFF YOUR HANDS. MAKE WEST JORDAN A NICE, CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL PLACE. DID YOU GET A FEE WAIVER FOR THAT? YES. I WILL BE HAPPY TO WAVE AS YOU COME THROUGH. THAT IS MY REPORT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. MAYOR. MAYOR, ON THE DUMPSTER DAYS, THAT'S NOT ELECTRONIC OR PAPER WASTE. THAT IS CORRECT. IT IS JUST TRASH. TRASH, GREEN WASTE. BUT THAT'S COMING UP AFTER. RIGHT.

NOVEMBER OR SOMETHING I THINK IS. YEAH. I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THAT DATE IS. YEAH. IT IS ON OUR CALENDAR. SO IF YOU GO THERE AND IF YOU GET OUR NEWSLETTER, IT'LL BE IN THERE.

[d. City Administrator’s Report]

[01:15:02]

WE'RE GOING TO PLANT ABOUT 120 TREES OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. YEAH, THEY'RE BRANCHING OUT.

THANK YOU MAYOR. YOU'LL SEE THAT ONE ALONE. YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF NEW TREES GOING UP OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. SPEAKING OF PUBLIC SERVICES AS WELL, PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS. ON VETERANS DAY, NOVEMBER 11TH, WE WILL BE HAVING OUR ANNUAL VETERANS DAY EVENT. IT'S SCHEDULED AT 1030 OVER AT THE VETERANS MEMORIAL MONUMENT. WE'LL GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS ON THE TREE JOKE GOING BACK AND FORTH. I KNOW THEY CAN GO ALL NIGHT LONG WITH THESE PUNS ABOUT A TREE. I'M GOING TO KEEP GOING. YES. PLEASE CONTINUE. WE HAVE HAD A VERY, VERY WET OCTOBER 3RD INCHES OF RAIN. OUR STORMWATER SYSTEM HAS PERFORMED ADMIRABLY. WE HAVEN'T FLOODED A SINGLE HOME IN THE ENTIRE CITY. THE STORMWATER BASINS HAVE FILLED UP AS INTENDED AND AS DESIGNED. CONSTITUTION PARK FILLED UP JUST LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO, AND NOT A SINGLE HOME FILLED UP WITH WATER. I SAW SOMEONE ONLINE COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT. THEY COMPLAINED THAT IT WAS FULL, AND I'M LIKE, THAT'S WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO. YEAH, IT'S FIRST AND FOREMOST A STORMWATER BASIN. AND WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE AND BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO USE IT AS A PARK THE REST OF THE TIME. LIKEWISE, COUGAR BASIN, ALL THE STORMWATER BASINS WORKED AS DESIGNED AS INTENDED. WE'VE GOT A FEW SMALL THINGS. WE'RE TWEAKING CAMELOT DRIVE, WHICH HAD HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD FLOODING THE STORM. THE IT USED TO FLOOD BECAUSE WE HAD A RESTRICTOR PLATE THERE, BECAUSE IF WE DIDN'T CONSTRICT THE WATER AT CAMELOT DRIVE, THE WATER WOULD GO INTO HOMES ON EXECUTIVE DRIVE. YOU'LL REMEMBER LAST YEAR WE DID A BIG STORMWATER PROJECT ON EXECUTIVE DRIVE, REMOVED THE CONSTRICTOR PLATES ON CAMELOT. THAT AREA WORKED AS DESIGNED. THANK YOU, COUNCIL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS. YOUR APPROPRIATION OF RESOURCES TO BUILDING OUT THE STORMWATER SYSTEM. THIS PAST MONTH WAS EVIDENCE THAT WE DID WELL.

WE'VE DONE WELL BY THE COMMUNITY AND WE'VE KEPT THE COMMUNITY SAFE. JUST A COUPLE MORE THINGS. I JUST WANT TO KEEP YOU IN THE LOOP ON 8600 SOUTH BETWEEN 64TH WEST AND U111, YOU'LL SEE THAT IVORY HOMES IS WORKING HARD. THEY'RE WORKING VERY, VERY HARD ON THAT SECTION OF 86 SOUTH. THEY HOPE TO FINISH PAVING THEIR PORTION OF IT THIS FALL. THE INTERSECTION WITH U111 WON'T BE DONE UNTIL NEXT YEAR, AND THEN EARLY NEXT YEAR, WE WANT TO OVERLAY OUR SECTION, THE NORTH SECTION, THAT WAS PREEXISTING. SO WE HAVE ONE NICE CLEAN ROAD.

SO ALTHOUGH IT MAY LOOK LIKE THE ROAD IS COMPLETED, THIS WINTER WON'T QUITE BE DONE. AND WE WANT TO KEEP TRAFFIC. THERE'S NO REASON FOR TRAFFIC TO BE ON IT QUITE YET. AS A NECESSARY ITEM, AS A NECESSARY ROADWAY. AND SO WE WILL LIKELY TRY TO KEEP TRAFFIC OFF OF IT UNTIL WE COME BACK AND OVERLAY IT IN THE SPRING AND HAVE A NICE NEW SINGLE ROADWAY, BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES ON THAT. MR. LEE, WHO A RESIDENT, COMPLAINED ABOUT THE DUST COMING UP AND WONDERED WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING THE WATER TRUCKS GO AND MAKE SURE THAT THE DUST ISN'T SO BAD. AND IVORY, THE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS AND THEIR SUBCONTRACTORS. YEAH, PAUL. WELL, JUST KNOW THAT RESIDENTS ARE COMPLAINING. SO YEAH. THANK YOU. A COUPLE OTHER THINGS ABOUT PUBLIC WORKS. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE BUSY. BEEN VERY, VERY BUSY WORKING ON OVERLAYS ACROSS THE CITY, MAINTAINING OUR ROADS. WE PUT EXTRA RESOURCES THIS YEAR TOWARD OVERLAYS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE BEEN GETTING THOSE NOTICES ABOUT STREETS THAT ARE BEING OVERLAID, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF THEM THIS YEAR. THANK YOU. IT'S AWESOME. IT'S GREAT TO SEE THESE ROADS BEING MAINTAINED AS THE TEMPERATURES ARE TURNING. PUBLIC WORKS IS TRYING TO WRAP UP THE LAST FEW, HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF THIS MONTH. AMONG THE VERY LAST ONES WE'RE DOING IS THE ROUNDABOUT AT 86 SOUTH AND ROCKWOOD PARK DRIVE. THIS IS THE ROUNDABOUT BY THE WHEELS PARK ON SATURDAY, SO WE'RE NOT INTERFERING WITH THE COPPER HILLS HIGH SCHOOL AND THE OTHER SCHOOL TRAFFIC. THEY'RE GOING TO OVERLAY THAT ROUNDABOUT ON SATURDAY, PROBABLY DO THE CIRCLE ON ONE OF THE LEGS SO THEY CAN DO A DETOUR AND THEN COME BACK THE
