[b. West Jordan Fire Department Badge Pinning]
YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN, THE NEXT ITEM OF OUR ON OUR AGENDA WILL BE LED BY CHIEF MAXFIELD.[00:05:03]
IT WILL BE PINNING OF SOME OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS. THANK YOU, COUNCIL, FOR GIVING US A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE SOME OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS AND THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS. I'LL GO AHEAD AND ASK ALL THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO BE RECOGNIZED OR PINNED TO COME ON UP. WE'LL JUST HAVE THE THOSE THAT ARE BEING PINNED LINE ALONG HERE. AND THEN THE OTHER, WE'VE GOT ANOTHER COUPLE OF SPECIAL RECOGNITIONS AND WE'LL HAVE THEM OVER HERE. SO JUST BY WAY OF INTRODUCTION, SO THAT YOU KNOW WHY THESE PEOPLE ARE HERE BEING PINNED TONIGHT. FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE AUSTIN SHELLEY, WHO WAS RECENTLY PROMOTED TO CAPTAIN, AND HIS WIFE WHO WILL BE PINNING HIS BADGE, CURTIS MADSEN, WHO IS ALSO RECENTLY PROMOTED TO CAPTAIN WITH HIS WIFE PINNING HIS BADGE. AND THEN WE'VE GOT THREE NEW FIREFIGHTERS. WE'VE GOT PORTER. SCOTT IS A NEW FIREFIGHTER. HE'LL BE PINNED BY HIS FATHER. RIGHT HERE. WE HAVE ALEX MCNETT, WHO WILL BE PINNED BY HIS MOTHER, MEREDITH, AND BAILEY ZEAL, WHO WILL BE PINNED BY HIS GIRLFRIEND, CHELSEA. ALL THREE OF THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE OUR NEWEST FIREFIGHTERS HERE IN THE WEST JORDAN FIRE DEPARTMENT.SO AT THIS TIME, WE'LL GO AHEAD AND ASK THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN ASKED TO PIN TO GO AHEAD AND PIN THE BADGE AND IF ANY FAMILY WOULD LIKE TO GET PICTURES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, FEEL FREE TO. GET RIGHT UP CLOSE.
YOU CAN SCOOT RIGHT UP THERE IF YOU NEED TO. PERFECT. THANK YOU. WE HAVE TWO OTHER RECOGNITIONS. WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THE ACTIONS OF A COUPLE OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS TONIGHT, AS WE TYPICALLY DO WHEN WE DO THESE BADGE PAINTINGS, WE RECOGNIZE ANY OF OUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE RECEIVED THEIR SUPERVISING FIRE OFFICER DESIGNATION OR THEIR MANAGING FIRE OFFICER DESIGNATION, AS I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE, BUT JUST KIND OF AS A WAY OF REMINDER, THE SUPERVISING FIRE OFFICER DESIGNATION IS GEARED MORE TOWARD THAT FIRST LEVEL OF SUPERVISORS, KIND OF OUR CAPTAINS. MANAGING FIRE OFFICER REQUIRES A LOT MORE EFFORT AND EDUCATION AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS, AND THAT'S TYPICALLY SOMETHING THAT A CHIEF OFFICER WOULD PURSUE WITH THAT. THE LAST TIME WE PASSED ONE OF THESE OUT, I THINK THERE WERE MAYBE TWO TO 3 TO 5 PEOPLE IN THE STATE THAT HAVE ACTUALLY RECEIVED THIS MANAGING FIRE OFFICER DESIGNATION. AND TONIGHT, WE'RE EXCITED TO PRESENT BLAIR MARSHALL, CAPTAIN BLAIR MARSHALL WITH HIS DESIGNATION. FOR OUR FINAL RECOGNITION. I'M GOING TO ASK ONE OF OUR ENGINEERS, PAUL ROBERTS, TO READ THE AWARD. HE WAS THE ONE THAT NOMINATED OUR FIREFIGHTER, AND I'M GOING TO TURN THE TIME OVER TO HIM TO TO READ AND PRESENT THIS AWARD. THANKS, COUNCIL, FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE HERE. IT'S BEEN SOME 15 PLUS YEARS SINCE I WAS BEFORE YOU LAST. AND I WAS UNDER THIS GUY, MY WORK DAD, BRIAN CLEGG. SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU CHIEF. THANK YOU BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE BACK. AND THANK YOU, MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU GUYS ALSO FOR BEING OPEN.
MANY OF US IN THIS ROOM SERVE OUR COMMUNITY, WHETHER WE'RE BEING PAID TO OR NOT. MANY GIVE LONG, THANKLESS HOURS, OFTEN UNSEEN AND UNDERAPPRECIATED. FIREFIGHTERS, THOUGH WE'RE WE'RE HONESTLY THE LUCKY ONES. IT'S TRULY REMARKABLE HOW HIGHLY THE PUBLIC HOLDS US. WE GET THANKS CONSTANTLY. BUT THE TRUTH IS, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, WE SHOULD BE THANKING ALL OF YOU. PERSONALLY, I CAN SAY WITH CONFIDENCE THAT THERE'S NO OTHER JOB IN THIS WORLD THAT I PERSONALLY FIT INTO BETTER THAN, AND THAT I WOULD RATHER DO. AND ALTHOUGH WE OFTEN GET RECOGNIZED FOR SIMPLY DOING OUR JOBS. TONIGHT IS DIFFERENT. TONIGHT WE RECOGNIZE A
[00:10:04]
FIREFIGHTER WHO EMBODIES WHAT IT MEANS TO SERVE NOT ONLY WHEN THE TONES DROP AND HIS SHIFT BEGINS, BUT IN EVERY MOMENT HE WALKS AMONG THE PUBLIC AS A QUIET GUARDIAN OF HIS COMMUNITY'S. ON JUNE 14TH OF THIS YEAR, FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC HUNTER MORGAN WAS OFF DUTY CAMPING WITH HIS LOVELY WIFE MOLLY, AND THEIR THREE YOUNG BOYS IN THE REMOTE UINTA MOUNTAINS. IT WAS MEANT TO BE A DAY OF REST AND FAMILY. NO RADIOS, NO INTERNET TRAININGS AND NO STRESS. BUT EMERGENCIES DON'T CHECK THE SCHEDULE. THIS IS WHEN IT GETS A LITTLE HEAVY.WHEN A TWO YEAR OLD BOY WENT MISSING, THAT MOMENT OF REST AND RELAXATION BECAME A MOMENT OF CRISIS. HUNTER IMMEDIATELY JOINED THE SEARCH. AND WHEN THE CHILD WAS FOUND UNRESPONSIVE, FACE DOWN IN A STREAM, HE WAS THE FIRST TRAINED RESPONDER ON SCENE. WITH NOTHING BUT HIS TRAINING, HIS HANDS AND HIS RESOLVE. HUNTER BEGAN LIFE SAVING EFFORTS IN RUGGED TERRAIN UNDER IMMENSE EMOTIONAL WEIGHT. AND WHILE OTHERS LOOKED ON IN DESPERATE HOPE. HE DID NOT HESITATE. HE DID NOT WAIT FOR HELP. HE ACTED SWIFTLY, CONFIDENTLY AND COMPASSIONATELY.
UNFORTUNATELY, TOO MUCH TIME HAD PASSED FOR THE EFFORTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL. AND THAT RIGHT THERE IS ENOUGH TO GET RECOGNIZED AND AWARDED. BUT HUNTER DIDN'T STOP THERE, AND THIS IS WHERE IT TRULY GETS REMARKABLE. HE THEN BECAME THE BRIDGE BETWEEN EMERGENCY AGENCIES. ARRIVING ON SCENE, HE RELAYED CRITICAL INFORMATION TO THOSE IN NEED, AND HE EVEN PERSONALLY WENT AND FOUND THE FATHER AND GUIDED HIM BACK TO HIS SON. ALL THE WHILE, HIS LOVELY WIFE, MOLLY STAYED WITH THE CHILD'S MOTHER, OFFERING WHAT COMFORT SHE COULD IN AN UNTHINKABLE MOMENT. HUNTER, WITH PROFESSIONALISM, HONESTY AND EMPATHY, DELIVERED COMMUNICATION NO PARENT SHOULD EVER HAVE TO RECEIVE. HUNTER STEPPED UP INTO THAT ROLE. NOT BECAUSE IT WAS EASY, NOT BECAUSE HE WANTED TO, BUT BECAUSE IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. THERE ARE MANY CALLS IN THIS PROFESSION WHERE THE OUTCOME IS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
COURAGE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE RESULT. IT IS DEFINED BY WHAT A PERSON CHOOSES TO DO WHEN HOPE IS AT ITS LOWEST. HUNTER CHOSE TO SERVE. HE CHOSE TO LEAD. HE CHOSE TO CARRY A BURDEN SO OTHERS WOULD NOT HAVE TO CARRY IT ALONE. THE MERITORIOUS SERVICE AWARD RECOGNIZES EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE UNDER GREAT PERSONAL CHALLENGE. ACTS THAT MEANINGFULLY SUPPORT MAJOR EMERGENCY OPERATIONS AND UPHOLD THE HIGHEST VALUES OF OUR PROFESSION. TONIGHT, WE HONOR EXACTLY THAT. FIREFIGHTER PARAMEDIC HUNTER MORGAN DEMONSTRATED UNWAVERING READINESS, EXCEPTIONAL MEDICAL SKILL, INTERAGENCY LEADERSHIP, AND A LEVEL OF COMPASSION THAT REMINDS US WHY THIS WORK MATTERS. HUNTER, YOUR ACTIONS REPRESENT THE VERY BEST OF THIS DEPARTMENT AND HUMANITY. YOU SHOWED THAT EVEN OFF DUTY, DUTY LIES WITHIN YOU. ON BEHALF OF THE COUNCIL, THE CITY OF WEST JORDAN, YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IT IS MY HONOR TO PRESENT TO YOU THE MERITORIOUS SERVICE AWARD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CHARACTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COURAGE AND THANK YOU FOR LIVING THE OATH YOU SWORE TO PROTECT LIFE IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE.
[00:15:25]
THAT'S ALL WE HAVE. BUT I ASSUME A PICTURE. YES. PLEASE COME UP HERE AND WE'D LOVE TO DO A PICTURE WITH YOU. SO IF YOU'LL COME UP HERE AND FORM A SEMI-CIRCLE AND WE'LL JUST STAND UP HERE.THANK YOU. WE SO APPRECIATE OUR FIREFIGHTERS AND ALL THEY DO FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
ALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILY. CAN WE PLEASE MEET DOWN ON THE THIRD LEVEL? DON'T CONGREGATE OUT IN THE HALLWAY THERE. IT'S REALLY LOUD. SO WE'VE GOT TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE ROOM ON THE ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR. SORRY. NO THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY, OKAY. SO
[PUBLIC COMMENT]
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM JUST A SECOND TO EXIT. AND THEN WE WILL OPEN UP OUR PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. IF YOU'RE HERE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME TO THE LECTERN.YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. WE ASK THAT YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME AND YOUR CITY OF RESIDENCE. AND WE WILL BEGIN. SO IF YOU WANT TO, PLEASE COME FORWARD. COUNCIL CHAIR WHITELOCK, MY NAME IS CASEY SAXTON. I AM NOT A RESIDENT OF WEST JORDAN, BUT I DO WORK HERE AND SPEND PARTS OF PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY HERE. I LIVE NEXT DOOR IN KEARNS, BUT I DON'T COME TONIGHT WITH THE REQUEST OR SOMETHING I WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF, WHICH IS COMMON IN PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. BUT I JUST CAME TO EXPRESS MY PERSONAL GRATITUDE FOR INVESTING IN THE GOLD STAR FAMILIES MEMORIAL MONUMENT. IT'S A PERFECT ADDITION TO THE VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK AND SOMETHING THAT IS VERY HEARTFELT AND VERY SPECIAL FOR THOSE WHO WHO ARE IMPACTED, WHO WHO HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE IN MILITARY SERVICE. SO I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INVESTMENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE COUNCIL, TO THE MAYOR, ALL THE STAFF WHO WERE INVOLVED IN MAKING THE PROJECT A REALITY. THANK YOU.
ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL TONIGHT? ANNE MARIE? OF COURSE. I'M ANNE MARIE BARRETT. I'M THE MANAGER OF THE BINGHAM CREEK LIBRARY. I'M ALSO, SADLY, NOT A RESIDENT OF WEST JORDAN. I'M A RESIDENT OF DRAPER, BUT I SPEND MOST OF MY WAKING HOURS HERE, SO I MIGHT AS WELL BE RIGHT. I'M JUST COMING TO SHARE A FEW REALLY FUN THINGS GOING ON AT THE BINGHAM CREEK LIBRARY. COMING UP NEXT WEEK ON NOVEMBER 3RD AT 7:00 AT NIGHT. WE HAVE A FAMILY STEAM BUILDING NIGHT WHERE WE WILL HAVE MAD FARMERS BRACKETS AND INCREDIBLY EPIC COLLECTION OF LINCOLN LOGS. IT IS ON BEYOND YOU GUYS WOULDN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY WE HAVE. IT'S AMAZING. SO HOPEFULLY WE HAVE SOME SOME COMMUNITY MEMBERS COME JOIN US. HAVE JUST A LOT OF FUN BUILDING WITH OUR REALLY GREAT COLLECTION OF LINCOLN LOGS AND OTHER BUILDING MATERIALS KIND OF THING. ON THE FOURTH, WE START OUR 12 DAYS OF GIVING PROGRAM THAT WE'VE DONE LAST YEAR AND AGAIN THIS YEAR, WHICH IS AN AWESOME PROGRAM WHERE PEOPLE CAN REGISTER IN ADVANCE. COME PICK PICK UP A SMALL KIT THAT THEY CAN USE TO MAKE DIFFERENT TYPES OF GIFTS.
THIS IS GOING TO BE TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS AS LONG AS WE'RE OPEN. SO OF COURSE VETERANS DAY WE WON'T BE DOING IT, AND THANKSGIVING WE WON'T BE DOING IT. BUT OTHERWISE, FROM THE 4TH
[00:20:02]
OF NOVEMBER ON EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY TILL DECEMBER 18TH, THERE WILL BE SOMETHING PEOPLE CAN REGISTER FOR AND PICK UP A KIT TO MAKE A FUN LITTLE GIFT. AND THEY'RE DIFFERENT EVERY DAY, SO IT'S FOR ALL AGES. SUPER FUN. AND FINALLY, ON THE SEVENTH AT 230, WE HAVE A CREATE YOUR OWN MASTERPIECE FAMILY PROGRAM. SO ALL AGES COME HAVE FUN! IT'S REALLY GREAT AND SUPER RELAXED, BUT I LOVE BEING PART OF WEST JORDAN COMMUNITY AND I ALWAYS COME AND SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING ALLOWING US TO BE HERE IN THE COMMUNITY. BUT I WANT TO SAY A SPECIAL PERSONAL THANK YOU BECAUSE I GOT INVITED TO BE PART OF YOUR CITIZENS ACADEMY PROGRAM AND IT WAS AMAZING. YOU GUYS, I CAN'T STOP RAVING ABOUT IT. I JUST WANT TO SAY A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR AMAZING CITY EMPLOYEES. I LEARNED SO MUCH. THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN DESIGNING THE PROGRAM DID AN INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE JOB, AND I'M JUST GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF THEIR HELP. I NOW HAVE MORE INFORMATION I CAN SHARE WITH OUR RESIDENTS AND I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT IT. THE ONLY REGRET I HAVE ABOUT THE PROGRAM IS IT'S OVER. IT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE LAST EIGHT WEEKS. ANYBODY WHO HAS A CHANCE TO DO IT, I WOULD SERIOUSLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE IN CHAMBERS WISHING TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL COME FORWARD, MR. HALLMARK, THERE ARE FIVE INDIVIDUALS ONLINE, NONE OF WHICH HAVE RAISED THEIR HAND. OKAY, THEN I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD AND WE[a. Ordinance No. 25-55 Amending City Code Sections 13-2-3 Regarding the Definition of “Affordable Housing”, 13-8-23(B) Regarding Balanced Housing, and Enacting a New Article 13-5P Home Ownership Promotion Zone (HOPZ)]
WILL GO ON TO OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS. WE HAVE ONE TONIGHT. I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ORDINANCE NUMBER 2555. I'LL INTRODUCE IT IN A MINUTE. AMENDING CITY CODE 13 DASH TWO THREE REGARDING THE DEFINITION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, MR. JENSEN. THANK YOU. COUNCIL, I APPRECIATE THE CHANCE TO TALK TO YOU TONIGHT ABOUT THIS ORDINANCE CHANGE TO INTRODUCE THE HOMEOWNERSHIP PROMOTION ZONE HERE IN THE CITY. JUST AN OVERVIEW. SENATE BILL 168 LAST YEAR CREATED THE MECHANISM TO ALLOW US TO DO HOMEOWNERSHIP PROMOTION ZONE TO ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IT DOES REQUIRE HOUSING BE AFFORDABLE, AND IT HAS A DEFINITION FOR THAT. AND IT MUST BE DEED RESTRICTED. AND IN EXCHANGE FOR THAT DENSITY IS GRANTED TO THE DEVELOPERS OF THAT, AS WELL AS ACCESS TO TAX INCREMENT. JUST AN OVERVIEW OF THE ORDINANCE. WE DEFINE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS HOUSING OFFERED FOR SALE AT 80% OR LESS OF THE MEDIAN COUNTY HOME PRICE FOR THAT HOUSING TYPE, THE HOMEOWNERSHIP PROMOTION ZONE MAY ONLY BE PLACED ON PARCELS TEN ACRES IN SIZE OR SMALLER, AS A MINIMUM DENSITY OF SIX DWELLING UNITS PER ACRE MUST BE DEED RESTRICTED FOR TEN YEARS. IT REQUIRES A MASTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, WHICH WILL GO THROUGH THIS BODY TO APPROVE, AND THEN IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR REDUCED DESIGN STANDARDS AND GARAGES ARE NOT REQUIRED. IF THIS GETS ADOPTED TONIGHT AND SOMEBODY WANTS TO PURSUE IT, THE NEXT STEPS ARE ON THE BOARD. BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CITY COUNCIL PROCESS BEFORE THIS BE APPLIED TO ANY PROPERTY. AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS FOR MR. JOHNSON. COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. ONE QUESTION I HAD, AND I AM LOOKING FOR AN HONEST IT'S NOT MEANT AS A RHETORICAL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT. ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE HOMES IS THAT THEY HAVE TWO TYPES OF OF FINISHES ON THE FRONT OF THE HOME, THE THE SIDE OF THE HOME FACING THE STREET. AND MY THOUGHT WAS, YOU KNOW, WE ELIMINATED THE REQUIREMENT FOR GARAGES TO MAKE MAKE IT LESS EXPENSIVE. IS THAT IS THAT SOMETHING? WOULD WE BE COMPROMISING TOO MUCH OF THE LOOK OF THE CITY AND THE LOOK OF A NEIGHBORHOOD TO TO DROP THAT REQUIREMENT OF TWO DIFFERENT FINISHES ON THE FRONT OF THE HOME? I'M JUST LOOKING FOR YOUR OPINION. YEAH, IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I THINK IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE MATERIAL IS. I THINK IF IT'S JUST STUCCO OR CINDERBLOCK OR CMU, POSSIBLY IF IT'S HARDIE BOARD, MAYBE THAT'S OKAY. BUT WITH THESE BEING SUCH SMALL PARCELS, TEN ACRES ARE[00:25:02]
SMALLER AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE INTEGRATED INTO NEIGHBORHOODS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WASN'T A SORE THUMB STICKING OUT AND THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THAT'S WHERE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS. LIKE WE WANTED TO INTEGRATE INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND FOR IT TO STILL LOOK LIKE THE REST OF WEST JORDAN. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY. THEN WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE PUBLIC HEARING. IF YOU'RE HERE TO SPEAK TO THE COUNCIL TO THIS ITEM, PLEASE COME FORWARD. SEEING NONE IN THE AUDIENCE, MR. ANDERSON, ANYONE ONLINE WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS? THERE ARE FIVE INDIVIDUALS ONLINE THIS EVENING, NONE OF WHOM HAVE RAISED THEIR HAND TO SPEAK. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THEN I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BRING IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE MOTION. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB, THANK YOU. I HAD ACTUALLY A SIMILAR THOUGHT TO WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON ASKED ON MAYBE MAKING THE REQUIREMENT MORE A MATCHING THE EXISTING OR THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD FINISHES, RATHER THAN SPECIFICALLY CALLING OUT TWO OR MORE. MY HOUSE IS ALL STUCCO FRONT, BACK, SIDES. THE TOP ISN'T, THE FRONT DOOR ISN'T. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT COUNTS, BUT. OR THE BORDERS AROUND THE WINDOWS NEXT TO THE FRONT DOOR. THAT'S WHAT I GUESS. SO MAYBE THAT COUNTS. OR THE, YOU KNOW, PART OF THE EXPOSED FOUNDATION THAT'S JUST CONCRETE. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT COUNTS. SO THAT'S JUST JUST A THOUGHT THAT I HAD A SIMILAR THOUGHT. THERE'S SEVERAL KIND OF TYPOS IN THE ORDINANCES DRAFTED THAT WILL NEED TO BE FIXED, BUT THOSE ARE SCRIBNER. SCRIBNER. ERRORS THAT WE CAN FIX. YOU KNOW, SAYING THAT THE MEDIAN HOME PRICE IS THE PRICE OF THE MEDIAN HOME OR MEDIAN COUNTY PURCHASE PRICE SHALL BE UNDER 80% OF THE COUNTY AVERAGE FOR THAT TYPE. JUST GOT TO FIX THE WORDING ON THAT. IT'S A LITTLE THINGS.OTHER THAN THAT, I'M BASICALLY IN FAVOR OF THIS. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE AN INTERESTING TOOL TO PUT IN THE TOOLBOX AND SEE IF IT GETS USED BY DEVELOPERS. SO THAT'S ALL I HAD. THANK YOU.
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING TO SHARE OR A POSSIBLE MOTION? COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 22 DASH 55 AND I'LL SECOND. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN. A SECOND BY CHAIR WHITELOCK. IS THERE DISCUSSION TO THE MOTION. SEEING NONE.
MISS QUICK VOTE PLEASE. COUNCIL MEMBER BLUM. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES. CHAIR.

[b. Resolution No. 25-053 Providing Advice and Consent to Appoint Michael Wilkey as the Human Resources Manager]
PROVIDING ADVICE AND CONSENT TO APPOINT MICHAEL WILKIE AS THE HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER. MAYOR BURTON. WE ARE EXCITED TO PRESENT TO YOU A PERSON WHO HAS GONE DONE WELL IN ALL THE INTERVIEW PROCESS AND EVEN WAS LIMITED. OKAY, GOT THROUGH THE ELIMINATION OF OTHERS WITH OVER 100 APPLICANTS. SO TODAY I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LET DENISE PRESENT TO YOU, MR. WILKIE. MR. WILKIE, I SHOULD KNOW THAT MY CUSTODIAN BACK WHEN I WAS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WAS MR. WILKIE. COUNSEL, I'D LIKE TO TAKE A FEW MOMENTS HERE AND INTRODUCE MR. WILKIE TO YOU, AS WELL AS GO OVER THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS. WE INCLUDED A MEMO ON TO YOU EARLIER, KIND OF GOING OVER THIS, BUT TO REASSURE THE PUBLIC THAT WE'VE DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE IN PROVIDING MR. WILKIE BEFORE YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE AND CONSENT. WE PERFORMED A RECRUITMENT FOR FOR TWO WEEKS BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 18TH AND THE 28TH. OUR PREVIOUS HR MANAGER PROVIDED NOTICE AND HIS LAST DAY WAS SEPTEMBER 12TH. SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITHOUT THIS POSITION FOR QUITE SOME TIME. IT FEELS LIKE WE RECEIVED 117 APPLICATIONS WHEN I INITIALLY WENT THROUGH ALL THE APPLICATIONS. IT TOOK HOURS AND HOURS, SCREENED IT DOWN TO A 25 INITIAL APPLICANTS, AND THEN REVIEWED 13 OF THEM FOR THE FIRST INTERVIEW PROCESS. THAT FIRST ROUND OF INTERVIEWS HAPPENED BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 29TH AND OCTOBER 3RD, AND IT WAS 13 CANDIDATES. WE KIND OF WENT[00:30:04]
OVER THEIR BACKGROUND, THEIR IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY AND INDIVIDUALS IN THEIR CAREER ANDR HUMAN RESOURCES. THAT COMMITTEE CONSISTED OF THE ASSISTANT CIO PAUL JEROME, JOSH CHANDLER, OUR CITY ATTORNEY, MYSELF, AND DIANE HANSON, WHO'S THE BENEFITS ADMINISTRATOR. THROUGH THAT PROCESS, WE SELECTED FIVE IN THAT ROUND TO GO TO THE NEXT ROUND. SO THAT WAS ONE HOUR OF INTERVIEWS IN THE FIRST ROUND, ONE HOUR PER CANDIDATE. WE INTERVIEWED. THE NEXT ROUND. WE INTERVIEWED FIVE PEOPLE AGAIN. THEY WERE ONE HOUR INTERVIEWS AND THEY WERE REVIEWING ORGANIZATIONAL ALIGNMENT, INTERPERSONAL SKILLS, AND JUST AN OPEN DIALOG, WHICH CAN GET QUITE CHALLENGING BEFORE OUR ENTIRE DEPARTMENT HEADS. SO WE HAD THE DEPUTY POLICE CHIEF, JEREMY ROBERTSON, CHIEF MAXFIELD, BRIAN CLEGG, COREY FRALICK, GREG DAVENPORT, SCOTT LANGFORD AND OUR PREVIOUS HR DIRECTOR DEREK ORTH ALSO JOINED US FOR THOSE INTERVIEWS, WHICH WAS VERY HELPFUL AS WELL, BECAUSE HE JUST LEFT THAT POSITION. IN THAT PROCESS, WE DECIDED TO PUSH FOR CANDIDATES THROUGH, AND SO FOUR CANDIDATES WENT THROUGH TO ROUND THREE. SO ALREADY NOW WE'VE GOT 12 PEOPLE WHO HAVE INTERVIEWED THESE CANDIDATES AND AND MADE THE DECISION TO PUSH THEM FORWARD. IN ROUND THREE, IT WAS MAYOR BURTON CORBIN LEE, OUR CEO AND CHIEF WALLENTINE. THEY QUITE SPENT QUITE SOME TIME GRILLING THESE CANDIDATES ON OUTWARD MINDSET, PROBLEM SOLVING, COLLABORATION, NEGOTIATIONS AND INTERPERSONAL SKILLS. AND THEY FELT VERY STRONGLY ALL THREE COMMITTEES. MR. WILKIE SCORED VERY HIGH, AND WE FELT LIKE HE HAD STRONG EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, STRONG PROBLEM SOLVING AND COLLABORATION SKILLS. SO WE ARE ASKING WE'VE WE REQUESTED THE MAYOR AND THE MAYOR APPROVED AFTER ROUND THREE THAT MR. WILKIE BE PROVIDED TO YOU FOR ADVICE AND CONSENT AS YOU'VE REVIEWED HIS RESUME. I JUST WANT TO GO OVER A FEW THINGS. HE IS BILINGUAL, WHICH IS VERY HELPFUL IN OUR COMMUNITY. HE SPEAKS BOTH SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE. SO WE'RE WE'RE EXCITED TO ADD THAT TO OUR TOOLBOX. YOU HAVE TO SPEAK ENGLISH. HE DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH, JUST SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE. HENCE HENCE BILINGUAL. INSTEAD OF TRY TRILINGUAL. OKAY. HE'S TRILINGUAL. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW. I DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THAT WAS A WORD. SO THANK YOU. HE DOES SPEAK ENGLISH AS HIS FIRST LANGUAGE, I THINK SINCE HE GREW UP IN LOGAN. I'M PRETTY POSITIVE HIS FIRST LANGUAGE IS ENGLISH. HE SPENT THE PAST DECADE IN PUBLIC SERVICE. AS YOU SAW. HE'S AN ASSISTANT VICE PRINCIPAL FOR A MIDDLE SCHOOL IN JORDAN SCHOOL DISTRICT. HE WAS VERY POPULAR IN THAT SCHOOL. HE SERVED AS A COUNSELOR AND STUDENT GOVERNMENT TEACHER AT HERRIMAN HIGH SCHOOL, PARTICULARLY DURING SOME DIFFICULT TIMES. WHEN HERRIMAN WENT THROUGH A SUICIDE PERIOD WITH THEIR STUDENTS AND HE NAVIGATED THAT INCREDIBLY WELL.HE'S THE CO-FOUNDER AND PROGRAM DIRECTOR OF THE HOME FOR OPPORTUNITY. HE OPENED A BOYS HOME FOR FOSTER CARE IN ARIZONA AND MANAGED THAT WITH HIS BROTHER, AND HAD QUITE AN IMPACT ON MANY INDIVIDUALS THAT WENT THROUGH THAT HOME AND WERE ABLE TO BE REUNITED WITH THEIR FAMILIES AGAIN. SOME INCREDIBLE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN THAT ROLE, AND THEN ALSO WORKED AS A RECRUITMENT SPECIALIST FOR THE UTAH STATE AS HE PUT HIMSELF THROUGH COLLEGE, WHICH IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE AS WELL. IF MR. WILKIE WOULDN'T MIND JOINING ME UP HERE AT THE PODIUM, WE WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT HIM TO YOU FOR YOUR ADVICE AND CONSENT, AND TO REVIEW THE RESOLUTION THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED TO YOU FOLLOWING YOUR APPROVAL AND ADVICE AND CONSENT. WE WILL ASK TANJU TO SWEAR HIM IN WITH AN OATH OF OFFICE. SAY ANYTHING. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I'M. I LOVE WEST JORDAN CITY. IT'S IT'S IT'S AN HONOR TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH WEST JORDAN.
AND I JUST REALLY APPRECIATED GETTING TO. GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE IN THE COMMITTEE AND HAVING THE CHANCE TO SHOW HOW I CAN CONTRIBUTE AND BETTER WEST JORDAN CITY. THANK YOU.
ANYTHING ELSE? THAT'S ALL. WE'LL LEAVE IT IN YOUR CAPABLE HANDS. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN I TURN ON THE LIGHT SO I CAN MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 25, DASH 053.
I WILL SECOND THAT MOTION. WE HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL

AMENDMENTS TO TITLE FOUR, CHAPTER TWO, ARTICLE NINE. MISTER BOYCE, FOR A MINUTE, I HAVE TO TELL YOU, I PANICKED. I COULDN'T SEE YOU OUT THERE AND I WOULD HAVE SAT OVER THERE, BUT I IT DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT. I WANTED TO STAND UP FOR A MINUTE. THIS IS JUST THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE FROM THE PAST TWO COMMITTEE. THE WHOLE MEETINGS ON THE RENOVATIONS TO OUR HOME OCCUPATION, BUSINESS LICENSING CODE. IT KIND OF DIFFERS. A LOT OF THE RESTRICTIONS TO TITLE 13, WHERE MOST OF THE RESTRICTIONS HAD HAD REALLY BEEN, CUTS OUT ANY OF THE CONFLICT THAT THERE HAD BEEN BETWEEN TITLE FOUR AND TITLE 13 WITH WHAT WAS PERMITTED, WHAT WASN'T, AND I THINK JUST MAKES IT A BIT MORE SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD FOR HOPEFULLY OUR HOME BUSINESS OWNERS TO TO NAVIGATE AND TO WORK THROUGH. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS. WE'VE BEEN HERE A COUPLE OF TIMES ON IT FOR FOR COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE, THERE HAVEN'T BEEN A TON OF CHANGES THAT THAT SHOULDN'T BE ANTICIPATED OR THAT AREN'T REFLECTED IN THE MEETING MINUTES, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE COUNCIL MIGHT HAVE.

THE NEXT ITEM ON[c. Mosquito Abatement Report Report by Kelvin Green of a proposed property tax increase by South Salt Lake Valley Mosquito Abatement District Comment on report by members of the public and/or city council members.]
OUR AGENDA IS A REPORT FROM COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN ON THE MOSQUITO ABATEMENT. AS WE ALL KNOW. THE THERE WERE SOME REALLY INTERESTING THINGS THAT HAPPENED WHEN PEOPLE WHEN MUNICIPALITIES DID THEIR TRUTH IN TAXATION AND SOME OF THE CITIES WEREN'T ABLE TO GET THEIR TAX INCREASES THROUGH BECAUSE OF ISSUES THAT THEY HAD WITH THE TAX COMMISSION. SO ALTHOUGH WE KIND OF DID THIS ONCE BEFORE, THE MOSQUITO ABATEMENT DISTRICT HAS GOT WITH THEIR ATTORNEY AND, AND PEOPLE OF THE STATE TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS GOT THEIR I'S[00:40:01]
DOTTED AND T'S CROSSED. SO THEY WANTED US TO REDO THE REPORT IN COUNCIL MEETING 40 DAYS PRIOR.AND I WILL JUST SO THAT WE COMPLETELY COMPLY WITH UTAH CODE 17 B11003, SUB PARAGRAPH TWO. I WILL REPEAT THE. I WILL READ THE FOLLOWING. THE SOUTH SALT LAKE VALLEY MOSQUITO ABATEMENT DISTRICT HEREBY ANNOUNCES ITS INTENT TO LEVY A PROPERTY TAX RATE THAT EXCEEDS THE CURRENT CERTIFIED TAX RATE, THEREBY INCREASING THE CURRENT PROPERTY TAX. THE PROPOSED INCREASED AMOUNTS TO $320,000, WHICH WOULD BRING THE DISTRICT'S TOTAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUE TO 1 MILLION $1,420,000 FOR 2026 CALENDAR YEAR. THE ADDITIONAL INCREASES WOULD FULFILL THE PURPOSES OF COST STABILIZATION OF ESSENTIAL SERVICES, $160,000 TO SUSTAIN UNINTERRUPTED, SUSTAINED SERVICE LEVELS. RESTORE KEY PROGRAMS SUCH AS PUBLIC RELATIONS AND BLACK FLY CONTROL, AND MAINTAIN THE DISTRICT'S FINANCIAL HEALTH. OPERATIONAL ENHANCEMENTS OF $100,000 TO EXPAND DRONE BASED SURVEILLANCE AND TREATMENT. UPGRADE DATA SYSTEMS FOR IMPROVED RESPONSIVENESS, AND IMPLEMENT ECOLOGICALLY CONSCIOUS CONTROL MEASURES. A CAPITAL BUDGET INCREASE OF $60,000 TO SUPPORT FUTURE CAPITAL PROJECTS, MODERNIZE THE FLEET EQUIPMENT, AND EXPAND LABORATORY CAPABILITIES. THIS REPRESENTS AN APPROXIMATE 29.09% INCREASE OVER THE CERTIFIED TAX RATE. FOR CONTEXT, THE AVERAGE HOMEOWNER WITH A PROPERTY VALUE OF $600,000 WOULD SEE AN ESTIMATED ANNUAL INCREASE OF $0.77. THAT'S. THAT'S RIGHT. I DID NOT STUTTER. IT WAS $0.77. WHILE A PROPERTY OWNER WITH PROPERTY VALUED AT $600,000 WOULD SEE AN ESTIMATED ANNUAL INCREASE OF $1.40. A PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THIS PROPOSED TAX INCREASE WILL BE HELD ON DECEMBER 8TH, 2025 AT 6 P.M. AT THE SALT LAKE SOUTH SALT LAKE VALLEY MOSQUITO ABATEMENT DISTRICT OFFICES THAT IS ON AIRPORT ROAD. IF ANYBODY WANTS TO ATTEND, THE HEARING WILL ALSO BE ACCESSIBLE VIRTUALLY VIA ZOOM. AND IF SOMEBODY WANTS THE ZOOM, I WILL JUST READ THIS SO THAT THERE'S NO QUESTIONS.
IT'S AT HTTPS DOUBLE SLASH US ZERO TWO WEB.US/J/81630315463. SO IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THE JOIN BY ZOOM, YOU CAN ALSO JOIN BY ZOOM. AND AND THE MEETING WILL BE NOTICED APPROPRIATELY AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE PUBLIC MEETING. BUT THEY JUST WANTED THAT READ SO THAT WE DON'T MISS ANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE THE UTAH CODE AND NOT HAVE THE 77 CENT PER HOUSEHOLD TAX INCREASE NOT GO THROUGH. SO THANK YOU. THE GRAPHIC SAYS $0.99. BUT YOU KNOW. ALRIGHT.
THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN. THE NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA CHAIR. YEAH. THERE'S ALSO JUST AN OPPORTUNITY UNDER THE STATE CODE FOR SPECIAL DISTRICTS THAT IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING IS DECEMBER 8TH. SO IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK AT THE TRUTH AND TAXATION HEARING AT THE MOSQUITO ABATEMENT, YOU WOULD GO TO THEIR MEETING. BUT THE COUNCIL CAN RECEIVE INPUT.
THAT'S JUST PART OF THE CODE. OKAY. SO IS THERE ANYONE THAT WISHES TO ADDRESS OUR COUNCIL ON THE MOSQUITO ABATEMENT? PLEASE COME FORWARD. ANYONE ONLINE? THERE ARE FOUR PEOPLE
[d. Consider Mayor’s Veto of Ordinance No. 25-54 Amending West Jordan City Code Title 7, Adding Chapter 6 Regarding Golf Carts]
ONLINE, NONE OF WHOM HAVE RAISED THEIR HAND. SEEING NONE, WE'LL GO TO OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM WITH WHICH IS TO CONSIDER THE MAYOR'S VETO OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 25. DASH 54, AMENDING WEST JORDAN CITY CODE TITLE SEVEN, ADDING CHAPTER SIX REGARDING GOLF CARTS. I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD GIVE THE MAYOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO THIS IF HE WISHES. DO YOU WISH TO SPEAK TO IT, MAYOR? WELL, I IT'S NOTHING NEW. I'VE EXPRESSED MY OPINION ON THIS SO LONG, AND I HAVE SENT A WRITTEN DOCUMENT THAT I PUT TOGETHER QUICKLY. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D LIKE TO ANSWER THOSE, BUT I THINK IT'S KIND OF CLEAR. THANK YOU. OKAY. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION BEFORE WE. COUNCIL MEMBER BLUM, I WROTE A STATEMENT OUT AS I WANTED TO[00:45:02]
MAKE SURE I SHARED MY THOUGHTS. I WANT TO BEGIN TO BY ACKNOWLEDGING THE MAYOR'S STATED CONCERNS REGARDING SAFETY. WE ALL SHARE THAT CONCERN AND NONE OF US WANT UNSAFE OR UNREGULATED VEHICLES OPERATING ON OUR STREETS. BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I FEEL THAT THIS IS A BIG PART OF THIS ORDINANCE TO CREATE STRUCTURE AND ACCOUNTABILITY WHERE THERE CURRENTLY IS NONE. RIGHT NOW, GOLF CARTS AND SIMILAR VEHICLES ARE ALREADY BEING DRIVEN IN SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. WITHOUT LOCAL REGULATION, ENFORCEMENT IS MURKY AND SAFETY STANDARDS ARE INCONSISTENT. THIS ORDINANCE GIVES US THE ABILITY TO REGULATE, NOT TO OPEN FLOODGATES, AND ESTABLISHES CLEAR PARAMETERS, AGE LIMITS, INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS, SAFETY EQUIPMENT, AND RESTRICTED ROUTES. IT BRINGS EXISTING BEHAVIOR INTO COMPLIANCE. THE MAYOR'S VETO CITES INJURY STATISTICS FROM NATIONAL STUDIES, AND THOSE NUMBERS ARE VERY REAL. BUT MOST OF THOSE INJURIES COME FROM UNREGULATED PRIVATE USE UNBELTED RIDERS. NO SIGNALS OR CARTS USED OFF ROAD. THE ORDINANCE BEFORE US SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES THOSE ISSUES BY ALIGNING WITH FEDERAL LOW SPEED VEHICLE STANDARDS HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, SEATBELTS, MIRRORS, SPEED LIMITS, AND OTHER WORDS. IT ENFORCES THE VERY SAFETY FEATURES THAT DATA SHOWS REDUCED RISK. THIS ISN'T A QUESTION OF GOLF CARTS OR NO GOLF CARTS. IT'S A QUESTION OF WHETHER WE WANT CLEAR, ENFORCEABLE RULES. CITIES ACROSS UTAH, SAINT GEORGE, SARATOGA SPRINGS, IVINS HAVE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED SIMILAR ORDINANCES SUCCESSFULLY. THEY'VE IMPROVED COMPLIANCE AND REDUCED UNSAFE MODIFICATIONS. THEIR EXPERIENCE PROVES THAT REGULATION WORKS BETTER THAN PROHIBITION. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB. THANK YOU. MY ISSUE IS MOSTLY WITH THE STATEMENT OF OPPOSITION THAT WE WERE GIVEN. I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL IT UNDER THE AGENDA. AS MAYOR'S STATEMENT TALKS A LOT ABOUT GOLF CARTS AND SAFETY ISSUES AND STREET LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.AND THE GOLF CARTS ARE ABOUT FOUR FEET WIDE, EIGHT FEET LONG AND SIX FEET HIGH, WHICH IS GOOD TO KNOW AND WEIGH 900 TO 1000 POUNDS AND HAVE A TOP SPEED OF 15 TO 20 MILES AN HOUR, WHICH IS ALL GOOD INFORMATION. BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU VETOED THE ORDINANCE BASED ON THIS.
THIS DOESN'T TELL ME ANY ANY THING ABOUT YOUR OPINION ABOUT WHY. AND I'M NOT ASKING THE QUESTION NOW. I'M JUST SAYING AS A DEFICIENCY IN THE STATEMENT. IT DOESN'T SAY WHETHER THE ORDINANCE HAS PASSED WOULD ADDRESS THESE ISSUES OR WHETHER IT WOULDN'T, OR WHETHER THERE IS SOME OTHER PROBLEM OR THERE'S SOMETHING THAT WE DIDN'T CONSIDER THAT WE SHOULD HAVE CONSIDERED, OR SOMETHING THAT WE DID CONSIDER, THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE CONSIDERED. THE THE ORDINANCE IS NOT ADDRESSED IN THIS STATEMENT. SO I'M I'M AT A LOSS OF WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN DIFFERENT BASED ON THIS STATEMENT. SO THAT'S THAT'S MY ONLY MY ONLY COMMENT REALLY. I MEAN, I VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE ORDINANCE WHEN WE HAD IT BEFORE US. I WILL DO SO AGAIN. IN OTHER WORDS, I'LL BE IN FAVOR OF OVERRIDING THE VETO.
BECAUSE I AGREE WITH WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER BLUM SAID THAT IT'S IT'S APPROPRIATE TO REGULATE AND TRY AND ADDRESS THIS THAT WAY THAN JUST OUTRIGHT PROHIBIT IF IT'S A PROBLEM NOW, NOT PASSING AN ORDINANCE DOESN'T CHANGE THE PROBLEM. IT KEEPS THINGS THE SAME. LET'S TRY IT UNDER UNDER AN ORDINANCE WITH SOME REGULATIONS AND LET'S SEE WHERE IT GOES. COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN JUST JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. FIRST OF ALL, I THINK MOST OF THIS IS POINTED OUT IS PREVENTATIVE. IF WE IF WE GET IN FRONT OF THIS NOW, THERE'S GOING TO BE LESS PROBLEMS. AND AND THE AND THE REGULATIONS WILL BE CLEAR. BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT OUR CURRENT UNDER UTAH CODE, UTAH CODE, CURRENTLY ALLOWS UNDER 40 16A 1509. TYPE ONE, TYPE TWO, AND TYPE THREE ATVS ON CITY STREETS.
THOSE OF YOU THAT AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH TYPE ONE, TYPE TWO, AND TYPE THREE ATVS AND OFF HIGHWAY MOTORCYCLES. THE TYPE ONE ATV IS THE STANDARD FOUR WHEELER. TYPE TWO AND TYPE THREE ATVS ARE THE THE BIGGER SIDE BY SIDES, AND THE OFF HIGHWAY MOTORCYCLES. ARE ARE THE ONES THAT WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS ABOUT. EVERY ONE OF THOSE IS CURRENTLY LEGAL IN THE CITY. THE ONLY WHERE THE ONLY PLACE THAT A TYPE ONE ATV, THE 4X4 CAN'T BE RIDDEN IS ON TWO
[00:50:03]
STREETS IN WEST JORDAN, AND I WOULDN'T. I HATE TAKING MY CARS ON THOSE TWO STREETS, BECAUSE THE SPEED ON BANGERTER AND MOUNTAIN VIEW SOMETIMES IS MORE THAN I WANT TO DEAL WITH, EVEN IN MY BIG CAR. THE STATE STATUTE ALSO ALLOWS FOR A LOW SPEED VEHICLE. AND DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE THERE ARE VEHICLES THAT LOOK LIKE GOLF CARTS THAT ARE LOW SPEED VEHICLES? THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT FROM THEM IS THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT HEAVIER AND THEY HAVE A VIN NUMBER. SO WE ALREADY THE STATE STATUTE ALREADY ALLOWS LOW SPEED VEHICLES. STATE STATUTE ALREADY ALLOWS ATVS TYPE ONE, TWO AND THREE AND OFF OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLES OFF HIGHWAY MOTORCYCLES. I'M SORRY. ALL WE'RE DOING IS ALLOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT THE THAT THE THE LEGISLATURE CAN SAY CITY CAN DECIDE WHETHER IT'S VALID OR NOT. I THINK THAT WE'RE JUST PLUGGING THE GAP AND SAYING THERE'S ALREADY TWO. AND BY THE WAY THE THE LOW STREET VEHICLE AND THE, THE, THE ALL TERRAIN ALSO ALLOWS FOR EXPERIMENTAL VEHICLES AND NOVEL VEHICLES. AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE. I WANT TO BUILD ONE. BUT IF IF WE'RE GOING TO IF WE CAN ALLOW DUNE BUGGIES LITERALLY ON DUNE BUGGIES ON THE STREETS, GOLF CARTS AREN'T GOING TO CAUSE ANY MORE SAFETY ISSUES. AND SO IN MY MIND, ALL WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE JUST MAKING IT CONSISTENT THAT PEOPLE THAT THAT WANT TO USE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, ALONG WITH THEIR ATVS, ALONG WITH THEIR LOW SPEED VEHICLES, THAT THEY CAN USE A GOLF CART TO TO GET AROUND. SO THAT'S MY THOUGHT AND I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT.THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS? THAT COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON, I AM WONDERING IF WE COULD ASK. CHIEF WALLENTINE TO SHARE HIS THOUGHTS ON THIS IS WOULD THE COUNCIL. I'M GOING TO GO TO THE MAYOR FIRST. AND I THINK THE COUNCIL. DOES ANYONE OPPOSED TO HEARING FROM CHIEF WALLENTINE? I DON'T SEE ANY OPPOSITION AFTER THAT. I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO THE MAYOR AS CHIEF WALLENTINE IS HIS EMPLOYEE, MAYOR BURTON. THE THE POINT I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE. AND APPARENTLY I DIDN'T DO IT WELL, WAS ON DESCRIBING WHAT GOLF CARTS ARE DESIGNED FOR. THE DESIGNED IS FOR SOFT SURFACES SUCH AS GRASS SURFACES, AND FOR MOVING PEOPLE AROUND GOLF CARTS WITHOUT DAMAGING THOSE TYPE OF SURFACES. AND THAT'S WHY I INCLUDED THOSE DESCRIPTIONS ON THERE, THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY MADE AND DESIGNED FOR DRIVING ON A GRASS SURFACE, NOT ON A PAVED SURFACE WITH TRAFFIC AND IN STREET AREAS. SO THAT'S WHAT THAT IS. AND THEN. CHIEF WALLENTINE, IF YOU DESIRE TO HEAR FROM HIM, I WOULD BE FINE TO LET HIM SPEAK IF HE SO CHOOSES TO DO SO, I. CHIEF WALLENTINE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING TO THIS? THERE ARE TIMES WHEN AT HOME I KNOW THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE ANSWER, SO I DON'T THINK I CAN SAY NO, BUT I DON'T. I'M NOT PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES. I CAN TELL YOU MY OWN EXPERIENCES WITH GOLF, A GOLF CART IN THIS COMMUNITY WAS A 13 YEAR OLD DRIVING HIS PARENTS GOLF CART WITH HIS PARENTS PERMISSION, WITH NO TRAINING, NO LICENSE, AND SIX PASSENGERS BOUNCING OVER SPEED BUMPS DOWN ON THE STREETS AND WATCHING THE KIDS BOUNCE UP AND DOWN. THAT'S A PARENTING ISSUE, RIGHT? THAT'S NOT A THAT'S NOT A AN ORDINANCE ISSUE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO COLLEAGUES OF MINE, POLICE CHIEFS WHO WERE MY STUDENTS IN THE POLICE ACADEMY YEARS AGO, THE POLICE CHIEF, PARTICULARLY IN SAINT GEORGE, WHO HAS SHARED WITH ME SOME CONCERNS. AND OFTEN IT COMES DOWN TO A QUESTION OF PARENTS AND TEENAGERS EXERCISING COMMON SENSE. THE PROBLEM, AS MY GRANDFATHER OFTEN USED TO QUOTE TO ME, IS THAT COMMON SENSE AIN'T SO COMMON ANYMORE. I'M. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT OPENING UP THE STREETS TO GOLF CARTS, OPENING UP THE SIDEWALKS. IT POSES A BURDEN ON THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO ENFORCE. AND RIGHT NOW, WE'RE PULLING OUR HAIR OUT OVER SOME OF THE YOUNG KIDS THAT WE'RE FINDING ON THESE, ON THESE MOTORIZED BICYCLES, THESE ELECTRIC BICYCLES GOING VERY FAST. AND ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT AS A GRANDPARENT, I'VE EXERCISED MY
[00:55:02]
INFLUENCE OVER MY KIDS TO TO KEEP KIDS OFF MY GRANDKIDS OFF THESE KIND OF VEHICLES, UNLESS IT'S ON MY DAUGHTER'S RANCH OUT THERE IN THE BACK PASTURE, ALL THE GRANDKIDS CAN GO TOGETHER.AND THAT'S NOT THE SITUATION HERE. WE JUST. AND I GET IT, I GET IT. YOU'RE TRYING TO ALLOW MAYBE EVEN SENIOR CITIZENS THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THEIR GOLF CARTS OUT LIKE THEY DO IN SUN CITY DOWN IN FLORIDA. BUT THAT'S NOT THIS PLACE. I THINK THAT IT'S AN ILL, ILL ADVISED COURSE TO GO DOWN. THANK YOU. CHIEF COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB, JUST A QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU, CHIEF, ON THAT. THE THE THE ANECDOTE THAT YOU BROUGHT UP OR THE 13 YEAR OLD WITH THE SIX FRIENDS ON THE GOLF CART, DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, BOUNCING. IT LOOKED FUN. I'M SURE IT DID. IT'S CURRENTLY ILLEGAL, CORRECT? YES IT IS. AND IT WOULD BE ILLEGAL UNDER THIS ORDINANCE AS WELL. IT WOULD. NOTHING. SO NOTHING CHANGES. IT'S JUST AND AND FRANKLY, IF I HADN'T BEEN AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME, I WOULDN'T HAVE CAUGHT HIM. MAYBE NO ONE WOULD. MAYBE NOTHING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. BUT I KIND OF SUSPECT THAT SOMETHING WOULD HAVE AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN INJURY. I DON'T KNOW, RIGHT? I JUST THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT'S MY ONLY QUESTION FOR YOU. BUT MY MY POINT IN ASKING IS THAT WE OFTEN NOT NOT JUST US, BUT I HEAR IT AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT WHEN SOMETHING IS BEING CONSIDERED THAT I A CASE IN POINT IS BROUGHT UP THAT IS NOT GERMANE TO THE ORDINANCE.
IT'S ILLEGAL BEFORE, IT'S ILLEGAL AFTER. THE ORDINANCE DOES NOT CHANGE THAT. I AGREE.
IT'S A QUESTION OF ENCOURAGING AND AND DISCOURAGING AND MAKING A PUBLIC STATEMENT. YEAH. IN MY IN MY MIND, THIS ORDINANCE DISCOURAGES THAT BEHAVIOR EVEN MORE BECAUSE IT PUTS AN AGE LIMIT WHERE IT IS ALLOWED AND IT'S NOT 13. SO WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT IT'S A 13 YEAR OLD THAT'S CAUSING THE PROBLEMS AND THEREFORE WE CAN'T PASS THIS ORDINANCE, I LOOK AT THAT AND GO, WELL, WAIT A SECOND. TO ME, THAT'S WHY WE NEED THIS ORDINANCE, IS BECAUSE THIS ORDINANCE SAYS, SEE 13 YEAR OLD, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS. AND IT SPELLS IT OUT SPECIFICALLY IN THE CODE. SO THAT'S THAT'S JUST THANK YOU FOR ENTERTAINING MY QUESTION.
THANK YOU, CHIEF VICE CHAIR. SO MY CONCERN TO GO WITH WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB HAD SAID IS RIGHT NOW IT IS ILLEGAL. WE PUT THIS INTO PLACE. THEN IT BECOMES A QUESTION IS THAT A HOW OLD IS THE PERSON DRIVING THAT? DO THEY MAYBE HAVE A LICENSE? DO THEY HAVE THIS NOW THERE'S GOT TO BE, YOU KNOW, MORE. AND TO GO WITH WHAT THE CHIEF WAS SAYING, THIS NOW BECOMES A MATTER THAT THE POLICE ARE NOW CALLED INTO ON SOMETHING THAT RIGHT NOW IT SHOULD JUST BE NO CARTS ON THE STREETS. AND THAT'S AN EASY THING TO KNOW, WHETHER IT'S ILLEGAL OR NOT. I LOOK AT THIS CODE AND I. I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING WITH THIS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, OPENING UP SOME, SOME DIFFERENT VENUES FOR PEOPLE. BUT I DON'T THINK THIS DOES MUCH. THERE ARE VERY FEW STREETS THAT THESE CARTS COULD GO ON, AND THOSE THAT THEY CAN GO ON ARE NOT ONE THAT POLICE GENERALLY ARE PATROLLING. MOST OF THE TIME. THEY'RE THE, YOU KNOW, THE THE STREETS THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO TO BE AT MOST TIMES. SO I THINK WHAT WE DO IS WE MAKE SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE WILL NOW MAYBE START SEEING SOME GOLF CARTS THINKING THIS IS LEGAL AND NOT KNOW THE FULL RULE UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS. SO I THINK THAT THE EXAMPLE THAT THE CHIEF GAVE ACTUALLY DOES WEIGH SOMETHING WITH ME, BECAUSE THAT'S AN EASY THING TO SAY. IT'S AGAINST THE LAW, BUT IT'S SO HARD SOMETIMES TO TELL WITH KIDS THESE DAYS BETWEEN 14, 15, 16 AND NOW SUDDENLY IT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT NOW HAS TO BE POLICED AND ADDS MORE WORK TO OUR ALREADY BURDENED POLICE FORCE. OKAY, NOW I WILL ADD MY $0.02. WE HAD THE POLICE. I DON'T REMEMBER WHO CAME IN, BUT HE CAME IN TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE POLICE FORCE BECAUSE HE'S OVER THAT AND HE ASKED US NOT TO THE THE POINT OF BRINGING THIS UP. WHAT I HEARD WAS WE WANTED TO MAKE A, A FORM OF TRANSPORTATION, AND ESPECIALLY FOR OUR ELDERLY TO BE ABLE TO GET TO CHURCH AND GROCERY STORES. YET MANY OF OUR CHURCHES AND ALL OUR GROCERY STORES ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE BY THIS ORDINANCE. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING IN THIS ORDINANCE THAT
[01:00:01]
SAYS THEY WILL HAVE TO HAVE INSURANCE, WHICH MEANS WHEN THEY HIT ME, JUST LIKE THE BICYCLIST THAT HIT ME, THEN IT'S MY VEHICLE THAT'S DAMAGED AND THE OFFICER JUST SMILES AND SAYS, I'M SORRY BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. AND SO WHEN I HAVE A MAYOR, A POLICE CHIEF BASICALLY SPEAKING AGAINST IT, THE PERSON HE SENT TO SPEAK TO US SAYING, NO, AND IT'S NOT GOING TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT WHAT I THOUGHT THE SPONSORS WERE HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH FOR IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE LEGISLATURE ALLOWS SIDE BY SIDES THAT ARE STREET LEGAL, WITH TIRES THAT WORK ON ASPHALT AND MIRROR AND LIGHTS AND ALL OF THAT STUFF. I JUST THINK WHAT WE'RE DOING IS ADDING A LAYER THAT WE DON'T NEED ADDED. SO I WILL BE VOTING.HOWEVER, I NEED TO VOTE TO NOT OVERRIDE THE MAYOR'S VETO. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANYTHING TO SHARE BEFORE WE GO FOR A MOTION AND. SO MY LAST COMMENT IS, MR. ANDERSON, EXPECT TO SPEAK.
EXPECT THE TICKET ON THE 4TH OF JULY WHEN YOU RETURN THE GOLF CART DOWN THE PARADE AND BACK TO CITY HALL. I HOPE THE POLICE ARE SITTING THERE READY TO TICKET THE CITY COUNCIL. THANK YOU. THEY WON'T BE BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR THAT. SO THEN. SO THEN WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THE CITY COUNCIL IS GOING TO BREAK THE LAW BECAUSE WE THINK IT'S EXPEDIENT. SO I JUST WANT TO POINT THAT OUT. THANK YOU. I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SAYING. IT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE SAYING BECAUSE GOLF CARTS ON CITY STREETS ARE ILLEGAL. AND WHEN WE TAKE A GOLF CART FROM THE PARADE BACK DOWN, 2200 WEST, THEY GET BACK TO CITY HALL. THAT IS A VIOLATION OF CODE. AND WE WILL HAVE TO STOP THAT, BECAUSE THIS COUNCIL, THIS COUNCIL WILL BE VERY CLEAR THAT THAT IS ILLEGAL. AND WE'LL HAVE AND AND THEN SO IF WE WANT THE COUNCIL TO TO SHOW THAT IT'S OKAY TO BREAK THE LAW, WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. IF NOT, THEN THE COUNCIL HAS TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT NEXT SUMMER FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. HEY, GREAT. WE CAN WALK AT THE END OF THE ROUTE. THERE CAN BE A TRUCK THAT PICKS US ALL UP AND TAKES US BACK. IT'LL BE GREAT. MY MY COUNCIL MEMBER BLOOM, MY LAST LITTLE BIT IS I OBVIOUSLY SUPPORT IT BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THIS REGULATION PROTECTS OUR COMMUNITY. IT CLARIFIES ENFORCEMENT AND REFLECTS THE PRACTICAL REALITIES THAT MANY OUR RESIDENTS ARE ALREADY LIVING AND, AND I FEEL THAT OUR RESIDENTS DESERVE THIS CLARITY OF OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO TO PROTECT THEM AND AND GIVE THEM THE PARAMETERS OF, OF A SITUATION THAT'S REALLY GOING TO JUST KEEP GROWING AS OUR. CITY GROWS. AND THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO SAY. DO I HAVE A MOTION? COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB. YES. I'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO OVERRIDE THE VETO FOR ORDINANCE 2554. SECOND, I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER, SECOND COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB AND A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER BLOOM. I WILL SPEAK TO THIS MOTION AND SAY, WHILE I APPRECIATE THE YOUR PERSPECTIVE, I FEEL IT'S ALREADY ILLEGAL. SO I FEEL WE ALREADY HAVE SOMETHING ON THE BOOKS THAT GUIDES THIS. AND AND MY EXPERIENCE IS MOST MOST PEOPLE CHOOSE TO OBEY LAWS. NOT ALL, BUT MOST. WITH THAT, MISS QUICK, I HAVE A MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER. I DIDN'T WRITE IT DOWN. JACOB AND THEN COUNCIL VICE SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER BLOOM. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER. GREEN. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. NO. COUNCIL MEMBER. BLOOM. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. CHAIR. WHITELOCK. NO. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. NO. VICE CHAIR. BADOR. NO.
HOW DO I SAY THIS? THE MOTION FAILS. 3 TO 4. SO THE MAYOR'S VETO STANDS BECAUSE IT MUST PASS BY TWO THIRDS MAJORITY. ALL RIGHT, NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA ARE REPORTS TO COUNCIL.
[a. City Council Reports]
AND WE'RE GOING TO START WITH CITY COUNCIL REPORTS. ANYONE WISHING COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN.[01:05:05]
JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. LAST WEEK WAS MY LAST I GUESS ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPAL COUNCIL MEETING. THE THE TOPIC OF THIS LAST AMC MEETING WAS ON HOW PROPERTIES WERE EVALUATED, HOW PROPERTIES ARE VALUED AND EVALUATED, AND WE HAD A GREAT PRESENTATION BY THE CURRENT COUNTY ASSESSOR, CHRIS STAVROS. IT WAS AN INTERESTING THING HOW TO HEAR HOW THEY USE MULTIPLE REGRESSION ANALYSIS AND ALL KINDS OF STUFF TO COME UP WITH THE VALUES OF HOMES AND BUSINESSES IN SALT LAKE COUNTY. I WALKED AWAY WITH A NEW APPRECIATION OF HOW MUCH MATH GOES, AND IT DECIDED THAT I NEVER WANT TO BE THE SALT LAKE COUNTY ASSESSOR. WITH ALL THE MATH I HAVE TO LEARN, I'D HAVE TO LEARN. BUT THE ONE THING, THAT ONE THING THAT DID THAT DID CATCH ME IS I, AS I HAD LEFT THAT MEETING, IS THAT AT SOME POINT IN TIME IN THE IN THE FUTURE, IT MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA FOR WEST JORDAN CITY TO INVITE THE COUNTY ASSESSOR TO TO A MEETING OR EVEN A TOWN HALL OR AN OPEN HOUSE AND HAVE HIM OR ONE OF HIS STAFF MEMBERS GO THROUGH THAT PRESENTATION SO THAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW PROPERTIES WERE VALUED, BECAUSE IT REALLY IS AN INTERESTING PROCESS. AND AND THE ONE THING ABOUT THE COUNTY ASSESSOR IS THEY THEY REALLY ARE ON THE TOP AND THE LEADING FRONT OF TECHNOLOGY. AND AND SO THAT WAS THAT WAS REALLY GOOD. THE LAST THING IS, AS WE MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT WITH THE WITH THE AWARD WITH TYLER, IS THAT IT WAS GREAT TO BE PART OF THE GOLD STAR. FAMILIES MEMORIAL DEDICATION A WEEK AGO SATURDAY. THANKS FOR EVERYBODY WHO WAS THERE AND BEING THERE. I THINK WHEN WE WHEN WE STARTED, IF YOU REMEMBER, WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT THAT MEMORIAL. WE WERE IN THE COMMUNITY ROOM OVER IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO THAT'S HOW LONG IT'S BEEN. AND I THINK THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE WHO WERE WONDERING WHY WE DID IT, OR THERE WERE SOME HESITANCY ON ON HAVING THAT PARTICULAR MEMORIAL. BUT I WILL TELL YOU, AFTER WALKING AWAY FROM THAT, THAT DEDICATION AND THE LUNCH THAT DAY, I KNOW WE DID THE RIGHT THING. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB, THANK YOU. PURSUANT TO THE COUNCIL'S RESOLUTION, I THINK IT WAS I WAS SWORN IN THIS LAST WEEK. THIS WEEK, MONDAY, YESTERDAY WAS YESTERDAY. SORRY. IT WAS A LONG NIGHT. LAST NIGHT I WAS UP LATE. I'LL LET YOU GUYS GUESS WHY. 18 HOURS, 18 INNINGS LONG? YES. AS A TRUSTEE ON THE WASATCH FRONT, WASTE AND RECYCLING DISTRICT BOARD, I THINK THAT'S THE EXACT WASATCH FRONT. THEY CALL IT. WOOLFORD. WOOLFORD THEY GOT IT ALL TOGETHER AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. SO THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY. THEY TALKED ABOUT THE BUDGET. THEIR THEIR BUDGET IS ON A CALENDAR YEAR AS WELL. LIKE THE MOSQUITO BUDGET IS AND AND IT'S COMPLETELY FEE BASED. THERE'S NO PROPERTY TAX IN IT. SO THAT'S THAT'S INTERESTING AND IT'S PURELY SOLID WASTE COLLECTION. THAT'S ALL THEY DO. SO IT'S LIKE ONE OF OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS. BUT IT'S A WHOLE ORGANIZATION AND A WHOLE THING ALL AROUND ONE OF OUR ENTERPRISE FUNDS. SO IT'S GOING TO BE VERY INTERESTING TO BE A PART OF THAT. BUT JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IS GOING WELL SO FAR. THANK YOU. I WANT TO THANK CHIEF WALLENTINE AND THE MAYOR. THEY GAVE AN INVITATION FOR US, SOME OF US, TO ATTEND THE NAACP DINNER, AND THOSE ARE ALWAYS INFORMATIVE AND REALLY NICE TO ATTEND. THIS YEAR THEY HAD A COUPLE OF PERFORMING GROUPS THAT DID A GREAT JOB. THEY HAD A PACIFIC ISLANDER GROUP AND THEN A NATIVE AMERICAN GROUP, AND THEY AND THEY PERFORMED, AND THEN THEY PRESENTED ONE OF THEIR AWARDS. AND I SHOULD HAVE LOOKED UP HER NAME. BUT NAMES ARE NOT MY STRONG SUIT. BUT SHE IS AN EDUCATOR THAT MOVED HERE FROM THE SOUTH WITH THE PLANS, WITH HER HUSBAND. THEY WERE[01:10:04]
GOING TO BE HERE TWO YEARS AND THEY WERE OUT OF HERE AND IT'S BEEN OVER 40 YEARS. AND SHE BECAME A PRINCIPAL IN GRANITE DISTRICT, WHERE THEY KIND OF SHE HAD A MENTOR THAT KIND OF PUSHED HER INTO THAT ROLE. AND, AND YOU COULD TELL THAT SHE WAS WELL, LOVED. SHE ASKED ANY OF HER PAST STUDENTS TO STAND AND AND THOSE THAT STOOD, YOU COULD TELL THEY LOVED HER AND THAT SHE WAS A GREAT TEACHER. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY. THE GOLD STAR MEMORIAL, THAT WAS VERY MOVING. I SAT NEXT TO A GIRL THAT AT FIRST I THOUGHT SHE WAS WITH THIS COUPLE THAT WERE NEXT TO HER, THAT IT TURNED OUT SHE WAS JUST THERE FOR HER BROTHER. AND SHE AND THEY, THEY ALL BRING THEIR PICTURES OF THEIR LOVED ONES. AND THEN THEY SET THEM BY THE MEMORIAL FOR A TIME. AND IT WAS IT WAS REALLY ACTUALLY A SACRED EXPERIENCE. AND, AND I FEEL PRIVILEGED TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO, TO BE THERE WITH THEM FOR THAT. THEN THE OTHER THING I WANT TO SAY IS, I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE MY KIDS SOMETIMES EMAILS AND I'M LIKE, WHY ARE THEY SENDING THIS TO ME? BUT THIS ONE WAS ABOUT YOUR SERVICE ON ON THE BOARD THAT YOU JUST REFERENCED FOR MR. STAVROS. AND, AND THEY EXPRESS THEIR GREAT APPRECIATION FOR COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN AND ALL THE GREAT INPUT AND HELP THAT THEY GAVE THAT HE GAVE TO THAT ORGANIZATION. SO THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER LAMB. THANK YOU. A FEW WEEKS AGO, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A FAMILY DINNER AND I WAS ON 13TH WEST AND ABOUT 70 SOUTH, AND I NOTICED A TACO CART ON THE CORNER BY 7-ELEVEN. I THOUGHT, WELL, THAT'S ODD, CAN THEY BE THERE? I LOVE TO TALK. I LOVE THE CARTS IN OUR CITY AND I LOVE THE FOOD TRUCKS IN OUR CITY. BUT I KNEW THAT THERE WERE SOME RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT YOU HAVE TO ABIDE IN ORDER TO DO THAT. IN OUR CITY, WHETHER IT'S BUSINESS LICENSE OR PERMISSION FROM THE SALT LAKE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO SERVE FOOD, I WANTED TO THANK OUR CITY STAFF AND OUR POLICE STAFF AS WELL, FOR FOLLOWING UP ON MY QUESTIONS REGARDING THAT. IN OUR CITY, THERE IS A A FOOD TACO CART. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT BUSINESS THAT HAS MOVED INTO SALT LAKE COUNTY. AND THEY WERE NOT ONLY IN WEST JORDAN, THEY WERE ALSO IN MURRAY AND SANDY, SERVING FOOD WITHOUT A BUSINESS LICENSE AND WITHOUT HEALTH CODE PERMISSION TO DO SO. I DID CONTACT THE COUNTY AS WELL, AND THEY KNEW ABOUT IT. AND IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE HERE, NOT ONLY IN WEST JORDAN, BUT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AS WELL. AND APPARENTLY THEY'RE ALSO GOING INTO AREAS NORTH AND OGDEN AND ALSO AREAS SOUTH IN UTAH COUNTY AS WELL. I JUST WANT TO SAY OUR CITY IS NOT CLOSED TO TACO CARTS AND FOOD TRUCKS. WE WELCOME ANY OF THOSE BUSINESSES WITH OPEN ARMS, AS LONG AS THEY ARE DOING IT LEGALLY AND HAVE PERMISSION AT THE BUSINESS AREAS THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING THAT BUSINESS AT. AND AND THE BIGGEST ISSUE I GUESS I HAD WAS WHEN I HEARD THAT THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE THAT WERE REPORTING SICKNESSES AND ILLNESSES FROM EATING AT THESE THE CARTS AND COME TO FIND OUT, THIS COMPANY THAT WAS DOING THAT WAS ACTUALLY PREPARING THEIR FOOD IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, IN A HOUSE IN THE BACKYARD, WHICH KIND OF SCARES ME. SO I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE ISSUE IS GOING TO GO. IT'S NOT ONLY AN ISSUE HERE IN UTAH, BUT I'VE NOTICED ONLINE THAT SAME ISSUES IN CALIFORNIA, IN LAS VEGAS, IN DENVER, EVEN IN SPOKANE, WASHINGTON. SO THANK YOU TO OUR OUR CHIEF OF POLICE AND HIS POLICE OFFICERS AND ALSO OUR CITY STAFF FOR FOLLOWING UP ON THAT AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR CITY IS SAFE FOR EVERYONE THAT COMES HERE. I'VE HEARD THAT THEY HAVE WONDERFUL FOOD, BUT PLEASE, IF YOU'RE GOING TO VEND IN OUR CITY, PLEASE DO IT LEGALLY. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN AND I FORGOT ONE LAST THING I WANTED.SINCE HE'S SITTING OVER THERE AND THE MAYOR'S PROBABLY GOING TO SAY SOMETHING. BUT KEN, THANKS FOR THE FAITH. AND BLUE. THAT WAS A THAT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE WITH ALL THE, THE THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS OF THE CITY AND INTERACT WITH THEM. IT. AND IF FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT AREN'T FAMILIAR, THIS WAS THE FIFTH, FIFTH ANNUAL AM I RIGHT, KEN? FIFTH ANNUAL FAITH IN BLUE. AND IT WAS IT WAS A WELL ATTENDED EVENT. EVENT. IT ALWAYS IS. AND WE APPRECIATE THE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THEIR CONNECTIONS AND BUILDING THOSE CONNECTIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY. SO THANK YOU AGAIN. MR. ANDERSON IS EXCUSED BECAUSE HE HAD AN EMERGENCY THAT HE HAD
[b. Council Office Report]
TO LEAVE FOR. MR. HALLMARK, ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE A REPORT? A VERY QUICK ONE, YES, ONLY TO FOLLOW UP ON THE TECHNICALITIES FROM THE COMMITTEE. THE WHOLE MEETING, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED IT WAS ON TOP OF IT. WE DID MISS SOME VIDEO AND AUDIO RECORDING FROM A MINIMAL[01:15:06]

THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW.IT'S MAKING FANTASTIC PROGRESS. SO NOT ONLY DID THEY REPAVE THE ROUNDABOUT OVER BY VETERAN SORRY, RON WOOD PARK, THEY ALSO IS PAVED ALL THE WAY DOWN ALL THE WAY TO U-111. NOW IT IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC YET. IT'S NOT FINISHED. IT'S NOT STRIPED. LANDSCAPE AROUND THERE IS NOT FINISHED YET. SO WE'RE NOT OPENING IT UP YET SO THAT THEY DON'T CREATE HAZARDS FOR THOSE THAT ARE STILL WORKING ON IT. AND IT PROBABLY WON'T GET OPEN UNTIL SPRING. BUT WE'VE MADE SOME GREAT PROGRESS, AND THAT IS ANOTHER EAST WEST DEVELOPMENT WITH TRAFFIC THAT WE HAVE PERFORMED. AND AS COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN MENTIONED, WE HAD THE FIFTH ANNUAL FAITH IN BLUE, AND THERE'S A PHOTO FROM THERE, AND I DON'T SEE COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN IN THERE, BUT I DO SEE COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK, HE'S THERE. I CAN SEE HIM OKAY. HE'S JUST A LITTLE HARDER TO FIND. HE REALLY WAS THERE. HE'S BY THE DOORS. BY THE DOORS. OH THERE IT IS. OKAY. IF I LOOK BY THE DOOR THAT I COULD SEE I COULD ADORE HIM THERE. OKAY. SO WE'RE WE'RE GLAD THAT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT PUTS THAT ON EVERY YEAR. AND THEN YOU ALREADY MENTIONED THE GOLD STAR MEMORIAL. SO THANK YOU FOR EVERYBODY, PARTICULARLY COUNCIL MEMBER GREEN FOLLOWING THROUGH ON THAT FROM START TO END AND MADE THAT HAPPEN. SO WE'RE VERY PLEASED TO HAVE THAT IN OUR COMMUNITY, AS ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE. AND THEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE WEST JORDAN CITIZENS ACADEMY. THEY JUST HAD THEIR GRADUATION. OH, I DON'T GET TO PREVIEW THOSE PHOTOS, BUT WE'RE HAPPY THAT SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE ATTENDED THAT AND WE HAD GREAT SUCCESS THERE. AND IT WILL BE OPEN IT UP TO THE PUBLIC FOR OUR NEXT ROUND ON THAT. AND WE HAD OUR LAST DUMPSTER DAY FOR THE YEAR. AND CHECK OUT THAT BEAUTIFUL SKYLINE. JUST AS HE'S GETTING READY TO START THAT DUMPSTER DAYS. BECAUSE WE STARTED THE DARK BECAUSE IT STARTS AT 7 A.M.

AND YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON TUESDAY. I THINK THEY CALLED AN ELECTION DAY. SO WE'RE ALL ANTICIPATING SOME THINGS TO COME FROM THAT. THAT WILL AFFECT HOW OUR COUNCIL LOOKS. SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT DAY. OUR FIRST FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7TH, COMING UP, NOT THIS WEEK, BUT NEXT WEEK. THIS WEEK IS HALLOWEEN. BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING.
THIS IS DONE BY LYRICAL OPERA THEATER. THAT IS A WEST JORDAN OPERA THEATER THAT OFTEN HAS BEEN PERFORMING IN THE TAYLORSVILLE THEATER. AND NOW THEY WILL BE HERE IN THE VIRIDIAN. SO I INVITE YOU TO COME OUT AND CHECK THAT OUT. EVEN THOUGH WE'RE DONE WITH DUMPSTER DAYS, WE ARE NOT DONE WITH OUR E-WASTE AND SHREDDING DAY. OUR NEXT ONE WILL BE NOVEMBER THE 8TH. THAT'LL BE OUR LAST ONE OF THOSE FOR THE YEAR. SO IF YOU'VE GOT SOME ELECTRONICS, YOU WANT TO GET RECYCLED OR SOME PAPERS THAT ARE DELICATE, YOU WANT SHREDDED, COME SEE US. AND THEN WEST NOVEMBER WITHOUT REMEMBERING VETERANS DAY. VETERAN'S DAY IS NOVEMBER 11TH AND THE 11TH AND 11 IS A VERY IMPORTANT. SO WE HOPE TO SEE YOU AT OUR VETERANS DAY EVENT AT VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK, RIGHT NEAR THE BRAND NEW GOLD STAR MEMORIAL WELLNESS FRIDAY, OUR FINAL OF THE SERIES. IF YOU'VE BEEN PARTICIPATING THAT, OR EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T, WE INVITE YOU TO PARTICIPATE AND BE WELL AND HEALTHY. FANTASTIC. ENJOYING LIFE BETTER.
