CAMPOS WAS A WORKING IN A
[00:05:12]
ONE OF THE RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS HERE IN OUR CITY AND OBSERVED A ELDERLY WOMAN COME IN THERE AND THEY HAVE A BITCOIN MACHINE IN THIS PLACE. AND HE JUST BASED ON THE TOTALITY OF WHAT HE WAS OBSERVING, THIS INDIVIDUAL HAD A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO FACILITATE A TRANSACTION. AND BASED ON THE TOTALITY OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HE WAS OBSERVING, HE RECOGNIZED THAT THIS WAS LIKELY A FRAUD SITUATION. AND AND AGAIN, A LOT OF PEOPLE, UNFORTUNATELY, IN TODAY'S SOCIETY, PUT ON THE BLINDERS.AS YOU GUYS ARE AWARE, YOU KNOW, THE WEST JORDAN POLICE DEPARTMENT KIND OF HAVE A MOTTO, YOU MATTER, LIKE I MATTER. AND HE EMBODIED THAT. HE, HE RECOGNIZED THIS FOR WHAT IT WAS.
HE WENT UP AND SPOKE WITH THE LADY, SUGGESTED THAT SHE CONTACT LAW ENFORCEMENT. SHE THOUGHT AS PART OF THE FRAUD, THAT SHE HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND WAS DOING WHAT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. LONG STORY SHORT, THIS INDIVIDUAL IS SOMEONE WHO WAS LIKELY ON A FIXED INCOME. IT WAS, WE'RE TALKING $20,000 THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST THAT WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE RECOVERED. AND AND DUE TO HIS ACTIONS, HE, HE PREVENTED THAT FROM FROM OCCURRING. SO WE JUST WANTED TO, TO RECOGNIZE HIM FOR THAT AND SAY THANK YOU. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING? SURE. THANK YOU. YEAH. I JUST DID WHAT I THOUGHT WAS RIGHT BECAUSE MY FAMILY'S BEEN IN FRAUD SCENARIOS BEFORE MY OWN MOTHER GOT DECEIVED HORRIBLY.
AND SHE LOST. SHE'S BACK IN DEBT. WE'RE DEALING WITH SO MUCH NOW. AND WHEN I SAW HER GOING THROUGH THE SAME PATH AND SHE SEEMED SO LOST AND SHE NEEDED HELP, I JUST COULDN'T LET HER DO IT. IT WAS JUST ONE AGAINST. I JUST COULDN'T, I COULDN'T ALLOW THAT. SO I JUST DID WHAT I BELIEVED WAS RIGHT. AND HERE I AM. WELL THANK YOU. I CAN I CAN SAY NOT THAT THIS MEETING IS ALL ABOUT MY DAD, BUT HE WAS SCAMMED FOR OVER $20,000 AND THAT SAME WAY. AND HE FED A LOT OF MONEY INTO A BITCOIN MACHINE AND NEVER SAW IT AGAIN. SO THANK YOU FOR HELPING SOMEONE. THANK YOU GUYS. THANK YOU. DID WE WANT TO DO PICTURES WITH BOTH OF THE WINNERS INDIVIDUALLY OR OR RECIPIENTS? WHAT'S THAT. YEAH. LET'S GO AND DO THE SECOND ONE.
[b. Presentation of the Volunteer of the Year Award]
AND THEN WE'LL BRING THEM UP SO THAT WE CAN DO THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME. ALL RIGHT, DEPUTY CHIEF, YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. AND THIS NEXT ONE, HE HE KNOWS THAT OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE HERE TO BE RECOGNIZED, BUT HE DOESN'T REALIZE THAT THIS IS SPECIFICALLY TO RECOGNIZE HIM.SO WITH THAT, LAUREN, WILL YOU COME UP, PLEASE? SIR? SORRY TO DO THIS TO YOU, BUT SURPRISES ARE GOOD, RIGHT? BUT SO THIS IS LAUREN SISAM. AS YOU ARE AWARE, WE HAVE A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM AND LAUREN BEGAN VOLUNTEERING FOR THE WEST JORDAN POLICE DEPARTMENT. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW THE YEAR, BUT IT WAS BEFORE COVID. SO IT'S IT'S BEEN A WHILE. IT HAS HE HAS HAS BEEN ONE OF OUR STALWARTS. HE YOU KNOW, I'LL PROBABLY MISS SOME THINGS HERE. BUT HE, YOU KNOW, HE GOES OUT AND DOES PROPERTY CHECKS. HE HAS HELPED YOU KNOW THE SPEED TRAILERS THAT WE HAVE THE YOU KNOW, THE YOU KNOW THE TO ADVISE THE COMMUNITY TO REMIND THEM TO SLOW DOWN AND THINGS LIKE THAT. HE, HE PLACES THOSE. THERE WAS ONE THAT WASN'T FUNCTIONING. HE TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO, TO FIX THAT. MORE RECENTLY, A PROJECT THAT HE UNDERTOOK IS HE HAD BECOME AWARE THAT JUST BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE CONSTRAINTS AND STUFF ON ON FLEET, A LOT OF OUR LINE VEHICLES, OUR SPARE VEHICLES THAT ARE THERE FOR WHEN AN OFFICER'S CAR IS GETTING REPAIRED OR SERVICED, THE OFFICERS CHECK OUT WHERE YOU KNOW, DIRTY AND IN NEED OF JUST SOME SOME TLC. AND HE HEADED UP AN EFFORT TO TO DO THAT, HELPING NOT ONLY US BUT BUT FLEET AS WELL. AND HE HAS COME TO A POINT IN HIS LIFE AND I, YOU KNOW, I ADMIRE HIM FOR THIS.
HE IS MOVING TO NORTH CAROLINA TO BE CLOSER TO FAMILY, HIS DAUGHTER, GRANDCHILDREN, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO WE JUST WANTED TO RECOGNIZE HIM FOR THE THE WORK, THE WORK THAT HE HAS DONE, HE HAS PUT IN OVER THE COURSE OF THIS TIME, AVERAGED 40 HOURS A MONTH THAT HE HAS JUST GIVEN TO THE CITY OF WEST JORDAN. AND I THINK IN PARTICULAR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND WE JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT. THANK YOU. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK, I'LL OFFER YOU THAT AS WELL. JUST A LITTLE BIT. PROBABLY GIVES ME MORE CREDIT
[00:10:03]
THAN WHAT I DESERVE. THERE'S MORE THAN JUST ME INVOLVED. THERE'S OTHER VOLUNTEERS TOO. I DO WANT TO SAY, THOUGH, I REALLY ENJOYED WORKING WITH THE VOLUNTEER UNIT AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. THE MORE I GET TO KNOW THE WEST JORDAN POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE MORE DEPTH I FIND THAT THEY HAVE. YOU'VE GOT AN AWESOME POLICE DEPARTMENT HERE, AND IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WILL MISS, BUT I'M JUST NOT GOING TO LET MY KIDS GET RID OF ME THAT EASY.I'M GOING TO FOLLOW THEM TO NORTH CAROLINA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. WE. WE WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME PHOTOS WITH BOTH THE RECIPIENTS WITH THE COUNCIL. SO THE COUNCIL MAYOR, WE CAN JOIN IN FRONT OF THE DAIS HERE AND WE'LL DO THOSE INDIVIDUALLY. IF YOU'RE TELLING.
[a. Report from West Jordan Fire Department]
ALL RIGHT. WE APPRECIATE THAT AUDIENCE FOR THAT TIME THERE. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO SOME OF OUR COUNCIL REPORTS. NOW, FIRST, THOUGH, WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM CHIEF DEREK MAXFIELD AS WE GET A REPORT FROM THE WEST JORDAN FIRE DEPARTMENT. GOOD EVENING.COUNCIL. I, I FEEL LIKE WE'VE HAD A GREAT START TO THIS MEETING. WHAT AN INSPIRATIONAL MEETING SO FAR. HOPEFULLY I CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THAT WITH THIS REPORT ABOUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. I RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HAVE A PRETTY FULL AGENDA, SO I WILL TRY TO BE BRIEF. I KNOW I GAVE MANY OF YOU KIND OF A AN OVERVIEW OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT A FEW MONTHS AGO AFTER THE ELECTION, SO I WON'T DIVE INTO THE WEEDS TOO MUCH, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO, TO GIVE A BRIEF REPORT ON KIND OF KIND OF THE 10,000 FOOT VIEW OF SOME THINGS THAT WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO, SOME THINGS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, AND THEN ALSO SOME THINGS THAT WE'RE HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH SOON. LET'S SEE IF THERE WE GO. SO FIRST OF ALL, JUST KIND OF AS A BROAD OVERVIEW, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT WE'VE DONE OVER THE LAST YEAR, OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WE RAN IN 2025, 7919 CALLS. OF THOSE 7000, 2464 WERE FIRE CALLS. THOSE ENCOMPASS ANYTHING BASICALLY THAT ISN'T MEDICAL RELATED. SO THAT WOULD BE HAZMAT CALLS, CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS, THINGS LIKE THAT, AS WELL AS FIRES AND THEN MEDICAL CALLS. WE RESPONDED TO 5455 CALLS FOR SERVICE. IF YOU LOOK AT THAT GRAPHIC ON THE RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE THE GROWTH THAT WE'VE EXPERIENCED OVER THE LAST 15 OR 16 YEARS. THAT TREND LINE SHOWS ABOUT A 4% GROWTH IN CALL VOLUME THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, AND THAT CONTINUES TO HOLD STEADY. AS FAR AS OUR STAFFING OVER THIS LAST YEAR, WE'VE HAD 11 RETIREMENTS OR RESIGNATIONS, SO WE'VE HAD QUITE A BIT OF A TURNOVER OF OUR PERSONNEL. WE'VE HIRED SEVEN FIREFIGHTERS AND WE HAVE JOB OPENINGS POSTED RIGHT NOW. WE'RE GOING TO HIRE FIVE MORE HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. WE DID HIRE A NEW PUBLIC EDUCATION SPECIALIST. MOST OF YOU ARE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH BECKY AND SOME OF THE PROGRAMS THAT SHE RAN, LIKE OUR OUR SUMMER DAY CAMPS, JUNIOR FIREFIGHTER ACADEMY, CPR CLASSES, THINGS LIKE THAT. WE DID HIRE SOMEONE TO REPLACE HER.
SHE MOVED ON AND GOT ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY. AND SO WE HAVE HIRED ASHLEY COLOSIMO AND SHE'S TAKING OVER THOSE PROGRAMS AND IS ACTUALLY EVALUATING KIND OF WHAT WAS ALREADY PUT IN PLACE
[00:15:02]
AND WHETHER WE CAN IMPROVE UPON ANYTHING, OR WHETHER WE NEED TO ADD SERVICES OR EVENTS OR, OR REDUCE SOME. AS FAR AS PARAMEDICS, WE'VE GOT FIVE FIREFIGHTERS AND PARAMEDICS SCHOOL CURRENTLY. WE SENT THREE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FALL SEMESTER. THEY ARE NOW IN THEIR CLINICAL PHASE AND DOING RIDES WITH US AND DOING THINGS AT THE HOSPITAL. AND THEN WE HAVE THREE MORE THAT ARE READY TO GO THIS FALL. SO THAT'S A THAT'S A GOOD CHANGE. FOR A WHILE, WE WERE HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING PEOPLE TO WANT TO GO TO PARAMEDIC SCHOOL, AND THAT HAS KIND OF FLIPPED. AND NOW WE'VE GOT PEOPLE THAT ARE WAITING IN LINE TO GO TO PARAMEDIC SCHOOL.SO THAT'S GOOD. AND I'LL TALK ABOUT A COUPLE OF THE THINGS MAYBE THAT WE DID TO HELP ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL. THE NEXT SLIDE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE'RE PROUD OF. OVER THE LAST YEAR. WE'VE I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT STATION 56, A NEW FIRE STATION OUT ON THE WEST SIDE. WE HAVE SECURED LAND FOR THAT. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEVELOPER AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THAT MAP. I APOLOGIZE, THAT WAS MY HANDWRITTEN PLACEMENT OF THE FIRE STATION WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING THIS, BUT IF I CAN GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF ORIENTATION, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PICTURE IS 90TH SOUTH AND ON THE LEFT SIDE IS U 111. SO THAT LITTLE CHECKERED AREA IN BLUE IS KIND OF THE AREA THAT WE'VE RESERVED FOR NOW FOR A NEW FIRE STATION IN THE FUTURE.
WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THAT IN THE LOCATION THAT WE NEEDED. SO. THE OTHER THING THAT I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT, AND I MENTIONED THIS TO YOU BRIEFLY A FEW WEEKS AGO, BUT WE STARTED A NEW PROGRAM IN COLLABORATION WITH THE HOME HEALTH AND HOSPICE COMPANY ABILITY HOME HEALTH AND HOSPICE. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE, SO FAR, WE'VE HAD 68 REFERRALS FROM OUR PARAMEDICS TO TO THIS COMPANY, 22 SUCCESS STORIES, 37 THAT ARE STILL IN PROCESS. AND WE'VE ONLY HAD NINE OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WE'VE REFERRED THAT HAVE REFUSED SERVICES. AND I'D LIKE TO REALLY QUICKLY JUST SHARE A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES OF THE SUCCESS STORIES. I'VE CHANGED SOME OF THE THINGS SO THAT WE CAN PROTECT PEOPLE'S IDENTITY AND INFORMATION. BUT THIS THESE ARE REPORTS THAT CAME FROM OUR CONTACT IN THIS COMPANY, SHE SAID. THREE ATTEMPTS ON PHONE, ONE ATTEMPT DRIVE BY SPOUSE ANSWERED ON RING CAMERA AND SAID SHE WAS NOT AVAILABLE, BUT THAT HE WOULD LET US LET US KNOW WHEN WE CAN COME BACK BY. GOT A CALL FROM HER SPOUSE, BLANK AND HE HAS PARKINSON'S. HER MOBILITY HAS BEEN SEVERELY COMPROMISED.
SHE'S CURRENTLY IN THE HOSPITAL. AT TIMES SHE IS HALLUCINATING AND HAVING SYMPTOMS OF DEMENTIA.
HUSBAND IS WORKING JUST TO KEEP HER ON INSURANCE. HE IS REALLY STRUGGLING TO KEEP HIMSELF TOGETHER. WE ARE GOING TO EVALUATE AND GET HER ON SERVICES AT DISCHARGE. JOHN, I'LL SAY, IS WANTING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH HOSPICE SERVICES AND THEN THE UPDATE. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE STORY AND NOT ONLY HAVE WE BEEN SUPPORTING THE PATIENT, BUT WE HAVE NOW EVEN BEEN SUPPORTING THE HUSBAND WITH MOBILE PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS AND HAVE PUT IN PLACE COUPLES COUNSELING. AND THE HUSBAND HAS BEEN SOBER AND IS ACTIVE IN ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS. WE HAD ANOTHER ONE SAYS MET WITH I'LL SAY JOHN AGAIN, AND WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING TO SET HIM UP WITH A PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER, HOMEMAKING SUPPORT AND HELPING HIM LOOK AT ASSISTED LIVING. UPDATE IN FEBRUARY, NEW PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER IS GOING TO BE SEEING JOHN AT HOME ON A REGULAR BASIS. HE ALSO HAS ELECTED TO GO ON OUR LONG TERM HOSPICE SUPPORT, AND WE ARE ASSISTING HIM IN GETTING A CLEANUP CREW IN THE HOME. HE WILL ALSO HAVE REGULAR NURSE VISITS, CNA VISITS, VOLUNTEER SUPPORT, MASSAGE THERAPY SUPPORT AND WOUND CARE FOR HIS RECENT FALL. AS OF FEBRUARY, HE IS NOW ON FULL SERVICES AND SEEING MOBILE PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN WEEKLY. THESE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES OF KIND OF THE GAP THAT WE NOTICED IN PROVIDING SERVICE TO OUR RESIDENTS, THAT A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE NEEDED EXTRA CARE THAT WE COULDN'T PROVIDE AS PARAMEDICS. AND SO THROUGH THIS PARTNERSHIP, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PUT THEM IN TOUCH WITH ALL OF THESE SERVICES. AND THESE SERVICES, AGAIN, AS A REMINDER, ARE ALL FREE TO THEM. THEY'RE THERE THROUGH MEDICARE. SO ALL OF THESE PATIENTS THAT HAD CHALLENGES AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO KIND OF HELP WITH THAT. ONE OTHER THING THAT WE IMPLEMENTED, WE KIND OF FOLLOWED THE THE LEAD OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
AND WITH MARIE'S HELP, WE SET UP A CITIZEN FEEDBACK FORM AND WE WERE ABLE TO SET IT UP IN OUR PATIENT CARE REPORTING SYSTEM SO THAT WHEN OUR PARAMEDICS GO ON A CALL, THEY CAN EITHER GIVE A CARD TO SOMEBODY. BUT EVERY WEEK IT GENERATES A REPORT, OUR SYSTEM, AND IT SENDS OUT A BRIEF EMAIL SURVEY TO THE PATIENTS THAT WE'VE HAD CONTACT WITH. AND WE'VE HAD 144 OF THOSE SURVEYS COMPLETED. AND AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO SHARE JUST A COUPLE OF
[00:20:02]
FEEDBACK PIECES THAT WE GOT. ONE SAYS, I AM JOHN'S MOM. THEY CARE. MY SON RECEIVED WAS TRULY WONDERFUL. IT'S NEVER EASY TO WALK INTO THE SCHOOL AND SEE YOUR CHILD ON THE GROUND, SURROUNDED BY SO MANY PEOPLE, BUT I FELT REASSURED KNOWING HE WAS IN GREAT HANDS. I WISH I COULD THANK EACH OF THEM PERSONALLY FOR THE LOVING CARE THEY PROVIDED TO HIM. ANOTHER ONE. I WAS EXPERIENCING A HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE READING. THE TEAM GAME CAME VERY QUICKLY, TAKING MY BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS AND WERE SO VERY HELPFUL EXPLAINING A SCARY SITUATION TO CALM ME, ANSWERING SO MANY QUESTIONS I HAD AND OFFERING TO TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEM, I WAS COMPLETELY COMFORTED AND DECIDED I DID NOT NEED EMERGENCY TREATMENT. THEY STAYED WITH ME UNTIL I WAS CALMED AND INFORMED ABOUT THE SITUATION, ALSO ADVISING ME TO CALL THEM AGAIN IF I NEEDED ANYTHING ELSE. AGAIN, THOSE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES. OUT OF THE 68 AND THE 144 THAT WE'VE ALREADY GOT, AND I JUST WANT TO PUBLICLY THANK OUR FIREFIGHTERS AND PARAMEDICS FOR THE GREAT SERVICE THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING. I HEAR FREQUENTLY FROM RESIDENTS AND FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE INTERACTED WITH OUR FIREFIGHTERS, HOW GRATEFUL THEY ARE AND HOW PROFESSIONAL OUR FIREFIGHTERS HAVE BEEN TO THEM.NEXT, SOME THINGS THAT ARE KIND OF IN PROGRESS RIGHT NOW, WE AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT KIND OF HELPED WITH PEOPLE WANTING TO GO TO PARAMEDIC SCHOOL. YEARS AGO, THE STATE LAW STATED THAT PARAMEDICS HAD TO WORK IN PAIRS OF TWO IN ORDER TO PROVIDE ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT. THERE HAD TO BE TWO OF THEM THERE. A FEW YEARS AGO, THE THE STATE CHANGED THAT STATUTE TO WHERE NOW A PARAMEDIC AND AN EMT CAN BE CONSIDERED ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT. SO WHAT WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING RIGHT NOW IS MAKING EVERY SINGLE APPARATUS IN WEST JORDAN CAPABLE OF ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT. AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT CURRENTLY OUR OUR AMBULANCES ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT ARE DESIGNATED AS ALS. AND THAT MEANS THAT NOW WE WILL HAVE A PARAMEDIC ON EVERY SINGLE FRONTLINE RIG, AND WE WILL HAVE THEM EQUIPPED WITH ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT THEY WILL NEED TO PROVIDE THAT ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT. PART OF THAT IS WE'RE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW OF PURCHASING NEW EKG MONITORS. WE HAVE TO DOUBLE THE AMOUNT THAT WE HAVE. AND OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS, I WOULD SAY WE'VE BEEN PURCHASING EXTRA DRUG BOXES, MEDICATIONS, SUPPLIES, AIRWAY KITS, THINGS LIKE THAT, SO THAT EVERY RIG ON THE STREETS WILL BE OUTFITTED TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL. AND THEN, LIKE I SAID, A PARAMEDIC ON EVERY APPARATUS. AND SO A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT MAYBE DIDN'T WANT TO RIDE ON THE AMBULANCE BEFORE, AND SO THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO PARAMEDIC SCHOOL ARE NOW FIGURING, WELL, WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE ANYWAY. WE MIGHT AS WELL GET THE EDUCATION AND TRAINING. SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS. THERE WERE A FEW OTHER THINGS, BUT THAT HAS KIND OF SPURRED PEOPLE TO SAY, YEAH, I MIGHT AS WELL GO TO PARAMEDIC SCHOOL. OUR LADDER TRUCK. I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT A LOT. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE THAT WE HAVE PLACED THAT ORDER FOR THAT LADDER TRUCK. WE'RE LOOKING AT 48 TO 52 MONTHS OUT, BUT IT HAS BEEN ORDERED. AND NOW WE WAIT. SO THAT THAT HAS THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE. AND THEN I MENTIONED BRIEFLY PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH. OUR NEW SPECIALIST ASHLEY IS REEVALUATING OR EVALUATING PROGRAMS. AND I SPOKE TO HER TODAY. SHE'S BEEN GOING OUT TO ALL OF THE SCHOOLS AND SAID SHE'S BEEN MEETING WITH SCHOOLS TWO AND THREE TIMES A DAY, AND THAT THE FEEDBACK SHE'S GETTING IS GREAT.
SO OUR GOAL KIND OF IS THAT NOBODY WILL EVER KNOW. WEST JORDAN RESIDENT WILL EVER MAKE IT FROM KINDERGARTEN TO 12TH GRADE WITHOUT HAVING AN INTERACTION IN THEIR SCHOOL WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, WHENEVER THAT IS. IT MAY BE DIFFERENT GRADES, BUT WE DON'T WANT ANYONE TO SAY THEY NEVER HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY. AND THEN FINALLY, JUST SOME THINGS.
WE'RE LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE. WE'VE BEEN HAVING SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT A LOGISTICS OR A STORAGE FACILITY FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT COULD PROBABLY BE USED WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS IN THE CITY. BUT WITH ALL OF OUR APPARATUS RIGHT NOW, WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF SPACE IN OUR BAYS. AND SO WE'RE AT THE POINT WHERE WE'RE WE'RE HAVING TO STORE SOME THINGS OUTSIDE, AND THAT'S NOT GOOD FOR THE EQUIPMENT. WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. SO WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME DIFFERENT OPTIONS WITH THAT. AND THEN I ALSO WE WORKED WITH A ARCHITECTURAL FIRM TO GIVE US JUST SOME CONCEPT DESIGNS FOR STATION 56 TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD FIT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD ON THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT WE HAVE. AND SO YOU CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT HERE, THIS ISN'T NECESSARILY HOW IT'S GOING TO BE. IT HASN'T BEEN DESIGNED, BUT THIS IS JUST A CONCEPT PLAN TO MAKE SURE THAT TURNING RADIUSES ARE ADEQUATE, THAT WE CAN FIT THE NUMBER OF BAYS WE NEED ON THAT KIND OF SITE, AND ALSO HAVE LIVING QUARTERS AND, AND OTHER THINGS. SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE HOW THAT, THAT LAYOUT IS DESIGNED. AND IT LOOKS LIKE WITH THE AMOUNT OF LAND THAT WE HAVE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO, TO BUILD THE KIND OF STATION THAT WE NEED. SO AS PART OF THAT STATION 56 BUILD AGAIN, THAT'S IN THE FUTURE.
[00:25:03]
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT DIFFERENT WAYS TO KNOW WHEN THAT TIME IS COMING. BUT AS WE GET CLOSER TO THAT, WE ARE GOING TO NEED TO START RAMPING UP PERSONNEL A LITTLE BIT. AND AGAIN, ENGINES AND AND LADDERS ARE 36 TO 48 MONTHS OUT ON BUILD. SO AGAIN, WHEN WE START GETTING THAT CLOSE TO BUILDING A STATION, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PROBABLY START LOOKING AT PURCHASING ANOTHER PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. AND THEN FINALLY, THE VERY LAST THING I JUST WANTED TO MENTION, WE JUST RECENTLY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DONATE 30 OLD EXPIRED TURNOUT SETS AND 15 PAIRS OF STRUCTURAL FIREFIGHTING BOOTS TO THE STATE OF ZACATECAS, MEXICO. AND THEY THEY ARE SEVERELY LACKING IN ANY KIND OF PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. AND WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY AND WE HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF TURNOUTS THAT ARE EXPIRED. WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THEM AFTER TEN YEARS, AND WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN RID OF THEM. WE'VE JUST HAD THEM SITTING ON A SHELF, AND WE'RE ABLE TO DONATE THOSE AND SEND THEM DOWN TO MEXICO. SO WITH THAT, I WILL OPEN IT UP FOR ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. CHIEF, DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL FOR THE CHIEF? OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU MUST HAVE DONE YOUR JOB. WELL, THANKS. THANK YOU. CHIEF. OUR[b. City Council Reports]
NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS OUR COUNCIL REPORTS. THIS IS WHERE THE COUNCIL REPORTS ON VARIOUS THINGS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN OF NOTE IN THIS THE LAST FEW WEEKS. ONE I WILL BRING UP, AND I KNOW THE MAYOR WILL TALK ABOUT IT AS WELL. BUT LAST WEEK MYSELF, COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON AND THE MAYOR, PLUS MANY OF THE CITY STAFF WERE ABLE TO GO AND GET A TOUR OF THE JORDANELLE RESERVOIR DAM. IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE TO KIND OF SEE WHERE WE GET OUR WATER FROM AND HOW IT GETS TO US, AND ALL THE STEPS THAT IT TAKES TO GET THERE. ALSO A LITTLE REASSURING TO TO KNOW, AS THEY SAID, THAT WE DO HAVE THE WATER WE NEED TO MAKE IT THROUGH. I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE ALL BEEN A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT WITH THE LACK OF MOISTURE WE GOT DURING THIS LAST WINTER SEASON, BUT I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN WHERE WE GET OUR WATER FROM. YOU CAN LOOK UP A LOT OF WHAT HE WAS ABLE TO SHOW US ONLINE. A LOT OF YOU WON'T GET TO DO THE LITTLE TOURS AND STUFF, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF FASCINATING INFORMATION ONLINE BECAUSE AFTER THE TOUR I WENT AND LOOKED UP SOME MORE. SO IT WAS JUST A GREAT LITTLE THING TO DO WITHIN THE CITY. I'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANY OF THE OTHER COUNCIL.IF THEY HAVE ANY REPORTS THEY WOULD LIKE TO SHARE AT THIS TIME. WE'LL SEE. NONE. IT'S A
[c. Mayor’s Report]
SLOW DAY, SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE MAYOR AND THE MAYOR'S REPORT. THANK YOU. AND I'D LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND PIGGYBACK. PIGGYBACK ON YOURS. WELL, THAT'S GETTING BROUGHT UP.I YOU PROBABLY SAW I LEFT A LITTLE BIT EARLY DURING THE WORK SESSION. JUST BARELY MADE IT BACK IN TIME FOR THIS. I GOT TO GO MEET WITH GOVERNOR COX FOR A FEW MINUTES. AND WHILE I WAS MEETING WITH HIM, I INVITED HIM TO COME OUT TO OUR NEW COMMUNITY ARTS BUILDING AND WATCH A PLAY AND AND FIND OUT WHAT THE GOOD THINGS ARE THAT ARE HAPPENING HERE IN WEST JORDAN. SO HE AGREED TO DO THAT AND HOLD HIM TO IT. OKAY. ARE YOU RUNNING THE SLIDES, ALLEN? THANK YOU. SO THIS IS A PICTURE OF JORDAN L. COUNCILMEMBER BADAWI WAS TALKING ABOUT.
COUNCILMEMBER SCHULTZ WAS ALSO THERE WITH US. AND AS YOU SEE, THAT IS THE JORDAN L RIGHT THERE. YOU SEE ON THE BOTTOM PICTURE. AND THEY SAID THAT RESERVOIR IS MORE THAN 60% FULL.
AND YOU THINK, WELL, THAT'S NOT A LOT, BUT IT REALLY IS. KEEP IN MIND THOSE RESERVOIRS HOLD BETWEEN 4 TO 5 YEARS OF WATER SUPPLY. SO THAT IS REALLY GOOD. OF COURSE THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SNOWPACK KNOWING THAT'S NOT GOING TO RISE THIS YEAR LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES. BUT KNOW THAT IF WE CONTINUE TO DO OUR CONSERVATION PROJECTS BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT NEXT YEAR IS GOING TO BRING, THAT WE WILL STILL WILL BE FIGHTING THIS YEAR. AND IF WE DO GOOD JOB CONSERVING, WE'LL BE FINE NEXT YEAR AS WELL. SO PLEASE CONTINUE TO CONSERVE. BUT WE DO HAVE A GOOD SUPPLY OF WATER STILL. OKAY. NEXT. OH, THAT'S JORDANELLE AS WELL. AND THAT'S A PICTURE OF ONE OF THE PIPES THAT SENDS THE WATER THROUGH THE TURBINES TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY IN THAT. AND THAT PICTURE ON THE LEFT, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF OPEN THE GATE THAT LETS WATER OUT OF THE SPILLWAY. SO THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE DOWNSTREAM ON THE PROVO RIVER PROBABLY HAD AN INFLUX OF WATER FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. WE DIDN'T KEEP IT OPEN TOO LONG, THEN WE CLOSED IT BACK DOWN. IT'S JUST SOMETHING I GOT MY FINGERS ON TOO. OKAY, A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, I ASKED CODE ENFORCEMENT AND ARE YOU HERE? OH, HE IS, IN CASE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS I DON'T ANSWER TO FOR A CALCULATION OF HOW MANY CALLS ARE GENERATED BY PEOPLE SENDING
[00:30:02]
IN ON THE WEB PAGE, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON THE APP, HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY CALL ENTRY PORT THINGS, HOW MANY CALL COUNCIL MEMBERS, WHATEVER WHO REPORT THEM? HOW MANY CODE ENFORCEMENT FINES AS THEY'RE OUT JUST DRIVING AROUND LOOKING AT DIFFERENT THINGS AND YOU CAN'T SEE IT IN THAT. BUT IF YOU LOOK ON YOUR SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY'RE COMING FROM WITH EMAIL AND PERSON, INTERNAL BY MAIL ON VIEW PHONE SERVICE REQUEST. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE UNKNOWN IS, BUT WE SURE HAD A LOT OF UNKNOWNS FOR THAT ONE PEAK THERE. IT LOOKS LIKE, DIDN'T WE? ANYWAY, SOMETIMES CODE ENFORCEMENT GETS A BAD RAP. I HAVE PEOPLE TELL SAY TO ME ONE TIME, WELL, THEY'RE PICKING ON ME. WELL, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS, YOU SEE HOW MANY CASES THEY'RE DOING. THEY'RE NOT PICKING ON ANYBODY EXCEPT FOR THOSE THAT NEED TO BE PICKED ON.SO IF THEY'RE PICKING ON YOU, PERHAPS YOU COULD CHANGE YOUR SITUATION THERE. AND THEN ALSO, THEY ARE VERY GOOD AT FOLLOWING UP AND CONTINUING TO GO BACK AND MAKING SURE THAT THE CASES WERE TAKEN CARE OF AND COMPLETED. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT, THAT WHILE BROCK IS HERE, BECAUSE I ASKED HIM TO SIT DOWN JUST FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, IN CASE YOU HAD QUESTIONS ON THAT, THAT HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER. IF NOT, I'M GOING TO RELEASE HIM AND LET HIM GO HOME. OR GO ENFORCE SOME MORE CODE. THANK YOU. BROCK. OKAY. OKAY. SO WE CONTINUE TO HAVE OUR CITIZENS READINESS CORP. IF YOU KNOW OF ANYBODY ELSE THAT'S INTERESTED, THERE IS ROOM FOR A COUPLE MORE. THEY HAVE A GOOD TURNOUT. BUT THAT'S LIKE I SAID BEFORE, ONCE A MONTH, THE NEXT ONE WILL BE ON MARCH 26TH. ON THURSDAY EVENING. AND THEN WE ENJOY.
INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR THE FINANCIAL LITERACY MONTH OF THE CANYON VIEW COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION. THE CANYON VIEW CREDIT UNION COMMUNITY AND ART CENTER. I LOVE SAYING THAT WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU COME OUT AND JOIN US WITH THEIR. AND THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE EXTRA THINGS THAT HAPPEN AT THAT FANTASTIC BUILDING THAT'S BEEN HERE FOR GETTING CLOSE TO A YEAR NOW. IF YOU WANT TO MEET WITH ME IN PERSON, I'LL HAVE OPEN OFFICE HOURS THURSDAY, APRIL 2ND. I'M GLAD IT WASN'T ON APRIL 1ST AND THAT'LL BE FROM 4 TO 6. THANK YOU MAYOR. ANOTHER ONE. OH, I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE DONE. THERE'S ANOTHER ONE AFTER THAT. OUR NEXT FIRST FRIDAY CONCERT WILL BE APRIL 3RD. SO COME AND JOIN US FOR THERE. IT'LL BE LIVE MUSIC AND SOME ACTIVITIES.
AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, IF IT'S STILL WARM ENOUGH, IT MIGHT BE TURNED AROUND AND PUT IN THE AMPHITHEATER. USUALLY WE WAIT UNTIL JUNE, BUT THIS YEAR WE MIGHT SNEAK IT A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. OKAY. AND OUR EASTER EGG HUNT IS COMING UP AT THE SOCCER COMPLEX ON SATURDAY, APRIL 4TH. IT STARTS AT 9:00. THEY SAID SHARP. BECAUSE IF YOU'VE BEEN THERE, YOU KNOW WHAT, 901? YOU'RE TOO LATE. IT'S OVER AND DONE. BUT THE HEARTACHE LIVES ON INSIDE. SO WE INVITE YOU TO COME OUT TO THAT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE BIG GROUPS AND BIG CROWDS AND YOU THINK, WELL, I DON'T KNOW THE FIRST 10,000 PEOPLE HERE, ONLY THE SECOND AND THE THIRD THOUSAND PEOPLE, THE CITY IS PUTTING TOGETHER KITS. AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD POCKET PARK, WE CAN PROVIDE YOU A KIT AND YOU CAN DO A COMMUNITY EASTER EGG HUNT RIGHT IN YOUR VERY OWN PARK. AND SO FAR, WE'VE HAD ABOUT A DOZEN PEOPLE TAKE US UP ON THAT OFFER. SO IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE WHO'S INTERESTED IN DOING THAT, THAT USUALLY LASTS LONGER THAN 901. OH, OKAY. SO EVERY YEAR THE. WHICH UNIVERSITY, UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY DOES A WELL-BEING STUDY FOR SPECIFIC CITIES. AND WE'RE ONE OF THE CITIES THAT THEY DO IT ON EVERY YEAR. AND SO THIS SURVEY IS ACTIVE RIGHT NOW AND IT'LL BE ACTIVE FOR LIKE ANOTHER WEEK. SO IF YOU HAVEN'T TAKEN THIS SURVEY YET, WE INVITE YOU TO DO SO. IT REALLY HELPS IF YOU DO IT MULTIPLE TIMES EACH YEAR. SO WE CAN COMPARE IT TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S SURVEY RESULTS. AND THAT WAY WE CAN SEE HOW WE'RE IMPROVING OR AREAS WE WANT TO IMPROVE ON. ALSO, COUNCIL MEMBERS, IF YOU HAVE A SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT YOU MAY WANT TO SHARE THIS WITH. FEEL FREE TO DO SO AND PUT THAT OUT THERE AND INVITE MORE PEOPLE TO GO.
THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TAKING THAT SURVEY IS DOWN A LITTLE BIT THIS YEAR. ACCORDING TO THE UNIVERSITY. WE'RE NOT ALONE IN THAT. PEOPLE ARE JUST NOT DOING SURVEYS THIS YEAR. SO I THINK GOTTA DO A SURVEY TO FIND OUT WHY THEY'RE NOT TAKING SURVEYS. AND THEN THE LAST ITEM, WHICH IS NOT ON HERE, YOU MAY RECALL TREVOR CRANE, WHO WE CELEBRATED OR RECOGNIZED AND MOURNED WITH
[00:35:09]

WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE THAT WE HAVE SOME PUBLIC HEARINGS COMING UP ABOUT SOME CERTAIN SUBJECTS. IF YOU ARE WANTING TO TALK ON THOSE PUBLIC HEARINGS, WE ASK THAT YOU SAVE THAT TIME FOR THEN, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SPEAK AT BOTH OF THESE. SO WE ARE GOING TO OPEN UP FOR OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS, OUR PUBLIC COMMENTS. EXCUSE ME. WITH THAT, WE HAD ONE PERSON FILL OUT A CARD. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IN ADVANCE YOU'RE GOING TO SPEAK. IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE THAT CARD. THAT WAY. WE HAVE A GOOD WAY TO TO GET BACK WITH YOU WITH WITH ANY ANSWERS YOU MIGHT HAVE. BUT WE WILL FIRST START OFF WITH KRISTIE SPENCER. AND AS YOU COME UP, KRISTIE, WE JUST ASK THAT YOU WOULD GIVE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE, PLEASE, BEFORE STARTING, AND THEN YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES. MY NAME IS KRISTIE SPENCER. I AM A WEST JORDAN CITY RESIDENT, AS ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE ON THE SALT LAKE COUNTY SHERIFF'S MOUNTED POSSE. A FEW YEARS AGO, WE TRIED TO GET THE ARENA AND WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL, BUT WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL. SO I WANTED TO THANK THE COUNCIL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE PRACTICE ARENA. WE'D LIKE TO REPRESENT WEST JORDAN WHEN POSSIBLE, AND ON THE 27TH WE ARE ACTUALLY DOING A MEDIA EVENT WITH SIM GIL'S OFFICE BECAUSE WE ARE DONATING TO CAMP HOPE. SOME OF YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH CAMP HOPE, BUT IT IDENTIFIES SOME OF THE KIDS WHO'VE BEEN DEALING WITH KIND OF A ROUGH HAND SIMILAR TO THE CHRISTMAS BOX HOUSE, BUT IT'S A CAMP SPECIFICALLY TO HELP THEM OUT. THE POSSE HAS INSTIGATED A EQUINE PROGRAM THAT'S PART OF THAT, AND IT'S MORE OF A WELLNESS AND FEEL GOOD AND OPPORTUNITY FOR THESE KIDS TO CONNECT WITH HORSES AND TO USE SOME MINDFULNESS IN THE MOMENT. WE HAVE HAD SOME AMAZING STORIES. IF ANYBODY HAPPENED TO WATCH THE SALT LAKE COUNCIL MEETING A FEW WEEKS AGO, SIM WAS IN TEARS OVER SOME OF THE EXPERIENCES THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THESE KIDS IN THE HORSES. SO IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SEE US, WE'RE STARTING IN MAY. WE'RE GOING TO BE OUT AT THE PRACTICE ARENA. YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME AND SAY HI. MOST OF THESE HORSES ARE PRETTY DARN GOOD AND FRIENDLY, OR ELSE THEY WOULD NOT BE DOING PARADES. WE ARE A 500 1C3 ORGANIZATION THAT SIMPLY REPRESENTS SALT LAKE COUNTY SHERIFF IN COMMUNITY EVENTS AND OUTREACH, JUST TO TRY TO CREATE A MORE WELL THOUGHT OF POLICE SORT OF GROUP. BUT WE ARE ONLY WITH SALT LAKE COUNTY, SO FEEL FREE TO COME OUT AND SAY HI. YOU'LL PROBABLY AT SOME POINT HEAR SIRENS BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING THOSE ANIMALS USED TO WHAT THEY HAVE TO TOLERATE IN A PARADE. BUT I WANTED TO THANK THE COUNCIL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. AND HOPEFULLY IT BEARS WELL ON THE ON THE IMPACT FOR WEST JORDAN AS WELL. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHRISTIE. APPRECIATE THAT. WE WILL NOW OPEN IT UP FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT FILLED OUT A CARD, BUT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR THE COUNCIL AGAIN, YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES AND YOU CAN SPEAK ON ANY TOPIC. BUT ONCE AGAIN, I'LL ASK IF YOU WERE GOING TO SPEAK ON A PUBLIC HEARING MATTER TO JUST SAVE THAT UNTIL THEN. SO I'LL OPEN IT UP. JUST IF YOU WANT TO STEP FORWARD, JUST GIVE US YOUR NAME AND CITY[00:40:03]
OF RESIDENCE. MY NAME IS ANNE MARIE BARRETT AND I AM A RESIDENT OF DRAPER, BUT I'M THE MANAGER OF THE EXCUSE ME, OF THE BINGHAM CREEK LIBRARY HERE IN WEST JORDAN. SO I CONSIDER MYSELF AN HONORARY RESIDENT, IF YOU WILL. I LOVE BEING PART OF YOUR COMMUNITY, AND I JUST WANTED TO SHARE SOME REALLY GREAT FUN THINGS HAPPENING AT THE LIBRARY RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE A REALLY FUN DRAWING THAT YOU CAN COME INTO ANY COUNTY LIBRARY TO DO, WHICH IS THE COMMUNITY EXPLORATION CARD. AND BY ENTERING THIS DRAWING UP TO FOUR PEOPLE, WHOEVER WINS THE DRAWING FOR THE MONTH CAN GET UP TO FOUR PEOPLE. FREE ACCESS INTO THE CLARK PLANETARIUM, THE UTAH MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM OF UTAH, THE TRACY AVIARY AND THE RED BUTTE GARDEN ALL DURING THE COURSE OF THAT MONTH. IT'S A REALLY AWESOME OPPORTUNITY, SO I ALWAYS LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT IT BECAUSE IT'S FREE. IT'S SO AMAZING AND WHAT A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY. WE HAVE SO MANY GREAT CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES HERE IN THE VALLEY, AND THIS IS ONE THAT JUST OPENS UP SO MANY MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO OUR RESIDENTS. AND IT'S SO FUN AND VERY EASY. WE ALSO HAVE A REALLY AWESOME 3D PRINTING DESIGN CLASS WHERE PEOPLE CAN DESIGN THEIR OWN LITTLE MINI KEYCHAIN LIGHTSABER FOR THE UPCOMING MAY THE 4TH. THAT CLASS IS GOING TO BE HELD ON APRIL 4TH FROM 1015 TO 1115. SO THAT'S A SATURDAY MORNING. AND REGISTRATION ONLINE ACTUALLY OPENS UP THE SATURDAY. THEY ARE VERY LIMITED SPOTS. SO I WOULD RECOMMEND IF YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR OWN MINI LIGHTSABER TO GET ON THAT LIST. WE ALSO HAVE WHAT IS GOING TO BE A REALLY FUN COMPETITION COMING UP THAT WE WOULD INVITE EVERYBODY TO COME IN AND GET INVOLVED WITH. STARTING MAY 6TH, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE KITS FOR A BUILD A BOT CONTEST THAT PEOPLE CAN COME UP, PICK THE KITS UP, THEY CAN ADD THINGS TO IT, AND UNTIL THEY BRING IT IN ON THE 25TH OF APRIL AND IT WILL BE JUDGED PUBLICLY. SO IF YOU WANT TO JOIN AND MAKE YOUR OWN BOT. GREAT. IF NOT, COME IN THE NEXT WEEK AND VOTE. WE DEFINITELY WANT YOU GUYS OPINIONS ON ON THESE BOTS THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS GOING TO BE CREATING. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AND I DID JUST WANT TO SAY WINTER READING CLOSED IN FEBRUARY AND IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS. IT'S ONLY A MONTH LONG PROGRAM, BUT WE HAD OVER 316 BEGINNER PEOPLE START THE PROGRAM AND OVER 200 PEOPLE FINISHED. SO PRETTY AWESOME FOR A ONE MONTH READING PROGRAM. SO THANKS. SO GLAD TO BE PART OF WESTERN COMMUNITY. IT'S SUCH A GREAT PLACE TO BE. THANK YOU. I WILL ALSO ADD IN JUST A LITTLE BIT ON APRIL 11TH, THEY'RE GOING TO BE HAVING BEGINNER'S IMPROV CLASSES TAUGHT BY SOMEONE WHO I BELIEVE HAS WAY TOO MUCH EXPERIENCE IN IMPROV. SO YOU CAN COME OUT TO THAT AND THAT'LL BE FOR BEGINNERS. THANK YOU. EMERY. YEP. COME ON UP. YOU KNOW THE DRILL. DAVE NEWTON AND I AM A 51 YEAR RESIDENT OF WEST JORDAN, HAVING SAT WHERE YOU ARE SITTING. I APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS AND ALL THE WORK THAT GOES IN WHAT YOU'RE DOING. SO THANK YOU. HAVING SAID THAT, ONE THING I NOTICED IS AS WE'VE WORKED ON DIFFERENT LAWS AND CODES AND POLICIES, IS THAT THERE ISN'T A CODE OR POLICY OR LAW THAT FITS EVERY SITUATION. AND SOMETIMES IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS THAT WE TRY TO PUT THINGS IN A BOX, BUT THEY'RE NOT. EVERYTHING FITS IN THAT BOX. SO MY THOUGHT IS, CAN THE COUNCIL COME UP WITH A SIMPLE WAY TO ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS THAT ARE BROUGHT TO YOU AND ALL OF US, THAT WHEN SOMEBODY BRINGS SOMETHING AND YOU SAY, YEAH, THAT MAKES COMMON SENSE, BUT THE CODE WON'T ALLOW IT. CAN WE FIGURE A WAY TO WORK AROUND THE CODE WITH WITH A SIMPLE COMMITTEE OR A SIMPLE GROUP, MAYBE OF CITIZENS, MAYBE A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER, THE MAYOR AND THE AND A CITIZEN SOME WAY THAT VERY SIMPLY, WE CAN SAY, YES, THAT MAKES COMMON SENSE. DO IT. I WOULD HOPE THAT THERE MIGHT BE A WAY TO ACCOMPLISH THAT AND[00:45:06]
GET AROUND SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT DON'T SEEM TO FIT THOSE BOXES THAT WE TRY AND PUT PEOPLE IN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. THE IDEA OF COMMON SENSE AND POLITICS, THAT'S. I REALLY HOPING YOU CAN MAKE THAT STICK. I'D LOVE THAT. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE IN THE ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? YOU'VE. YOU. YOU SPOKE. HOLD ON. CREDIT UNION. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GO. WE NEED TEENAGERS. OH, THEY'RE DOING FOOTLOOSE. YOU CAN LOOK UP, LOOK IT UP ONLINE THAT THEY'VE GOT THAT WE NEED TEENAGERS REALLY BAD. SO I DO SOME CASH. CAN'T TELL IF I'M DRAMATIC ENOUGH. SOME ACTING OVER THERE WITH THE GROUP. SO PLEASE, IF ANYONE KNOWS OF TEENAGERS, THEY ARE AUDITIONING FOR FOOTLOOSE HERE. THAT SHOULD BE COMING UP IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. AND CURRENTLY, MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM IS ON TAP. ON TAP. ANYWAY, TEENAGERS GOING ON RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU. YOU DID HAVE 30S LEFT, SO I'LL ALLOW YOUR YOUR TIME TO BE PUT WITH THAT NOW. NO PROBLEM. AND I WOULD AGREE. YEAH. I THINK THAT THAT'LL BE A, A VERY GOOD THING TO GET SOME OF THE TEENAGERS INVOLVED IN FOOTLOOSE SINCE THAT WILL BE A LARGER PRODUCTION, NOT JUST NORMALLY ONE OF THE YOUTH THEATER PRODUCTIONS THAT WE DO THAT WILL BE PART OF THE MAIN, THE MAIN SET. SO PLEASE PASS THAT ALONG. ALRIGHT, ANYONE ELSE WANT TO JUST JUMP UP AND RISE AND COME? LOOKS LIKE WE DO HAVE ONE. PLEASE COME FORWARD.PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. HI, COUNCIL. MY NAME IS EDUARDO GUZMAN. I'M A. I GREW UP HERE IN WEST JORDAN, BUT I'M A RESIDENT OF WEST VALLEY NOW SINCE MY WIFE TOOK ME OVER THERE. SO I'M A CARPENTER BY TRADE. I WORK IN THE INTERIOR SYSTEMS. AND YOU KNOW, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS INVESTING IN THE COMMUNITY AND SETTING UP, YOU KNOW, NEW PROJECTS LIKE THE FIRE STATION THAT YOU GUYS ARE PLANNING TO BUILD. IN THE TEN YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN A CARPENTER, I HAVE YET TO WORK IN A, IN A PROJECT IN MY OWN COMMUNITY. AND IT WOULD BE JUST, YOU KNOW, GREAT. IF WE COULD INVEST IN PEOPLE THAT ARE RESIDENTS OF WEST JORDAN, THAT COULD DO THE WORK, AND THOSE PEOPLE THAT CAN DO THE WORK IS UNION CARPENTERS.
WE ALWAYS DO REALLY GOOD JOB, AND WE TAKE PRIDE IN WHAT WE DO. AND I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU GUYS COULD TAKE US INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN BUILDING THESE PROJECTS. THAT WAY WE DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO OGDEN OR LOGAN OR DOWN BY UTAH COUNTY PAYSON, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I DID THAT A LOT, A LOT OF YEARS. SO I REALLY APPRECIATE IF YOU GUYS LOOK INTO THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL CHECK ANYONE HERE IN ATTENDANCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME AND SPEAK. LOOKS LIKE I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE. SO I'LL GO TO MR. ANDERSON. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ONLINE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? THERE IS NO ONE ONLINE, SO THERE'S NO ONE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK. WELL, I'M GOING TO TAKE THAT PERSONALLY. ALL RIGHT THEN WITH THAT, I'LL JUST ONE MORE TIME. GOING, GOING, GONE. WE WILL. WITH THAT, WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION. AGAIN. WE'RE GOING TO BE MOVING ON TO PUBLIC HEARINGS. SO THOSE ARE CHANCES YOU'LL HAVE AS THE PUBLIC. YOU'LL HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO SOME OF THOSE IN THE INDIVIDUAL
[a. Resolution No. 26-006 Requesting a Fee Waiver in the Amount of $825 for the Browns Meadow Neighborhood Cleanup Day]
HEARINGS. AND WE'LL START WITH ITEM SIX A. THIS IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 6-006, REQUESTING A FEE WAIVER IN THE AMOUNT OF $825 FOR THE BROWNS MEADOW NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP DAY. AND I BELIEVE JENNIFER ANDERSON ISN'T GOING TO BE HERE. SO WE HAVE BETHANY RASMUSSEN, WHO WILL SPEAK ON JENNIFER'S BEHALF. SORRY, I DIDN'T KNOW IF I'D BE ASKED ANYTHING, BUT YEAH, OUR NEIGHBORHOODS BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER 20 YEARS, AND IT'S A REALLY GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER FOR EVERYBODY TO REACH OUT AND DO SERVICE AND JUST HELP OUR NEIGHBORS OUT. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE APPRECIATE THE ASSISTANCE WITH WHEN WE CAN GET IT. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR BETHANY ABOUT THIS? ALL RIGHT, ALLEN, DO YOU HAVE ANY NOTES YOU NEED TO SAY ON THIS REGARDING NO, JUST NO. THANK YOU. THE THE ONLY THING IS, ON THE FISCAL NOTE OF THE RCA, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE FEE WAIVERS FOR $825 STATE LAW[00:50:03]
PROHIBITS ANYTHING OVER 1% OF THE BUDGET. COLLECTIVELY, YOU'VE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO APPROACH THAT. IT'S ABOUT $740,000. THE FISCAL NOTE ALSO NOTES THAT THE DUMPSTERS ARE SUBSIDIZED AT THE REQUEST OF THE COUNCIL. AND SO YOU'LL SEE THE TOTAL COST IN THAT FISCAL NOTE. BUT THE FEE WAIVER IS 825. GREAT. THANK YOU. WE WILL OPEN THIS UP THEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS. IF THERE'S ANYONE IN THE ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS REQUEST, THIS RESOLUTION. IT LOOKS LIKE BETHANY. NO ONE WANTS TO PUSH YOU AWAY FROM THAT. OH, WAIT.WE DO. YOU'LL HAVE TO GIVE UP YOUR MIC FOR JUST A MOMENT. BETHANY, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. ROB BENNETT, RESIDING IN WEST JORDAN. OUT OF THE TWO WAIVERS THAT ARE BEING REQUESTED TONIGHT, ONE OF THEM IS GOING TO BE COSTING THE CITY $3,879 FOR 11 DUMPSTERS. THE OTHER IS GOING TO BE ESTIMATED TO COST $705 FOR TWO DUMPSTERS.
COLLECTIVELY, THESE TWO REQUESTS WILL COST THE CITY $4,584. IF THE COUNCIL RECEIVED JUST FOUR MORE OF THESE KINDS OF REQUESTS THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE YEAR. ON AVERAGE, ALL THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY WOULD BE ON THE HOOK TO PAY $18,336, SO THAT SOME GROUPS DON'T NEED TO PAY A SHARE OF SOMETHING THAT DIRECTLY BENEFITS THEM. BUT FOR MY NEIGHBORHOOD, NOT SO MUCH. FEE WAIVERS SHOULD BE FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY NEEDS, NOT JUST REGULAR OCCURRENCES. THESE NEED TO BE BUDGETED AND PLANNED FOR TO MAKE THEM EQUITABLE AND FAIR TO ALL THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY, NOT JUST THOSE WHO HAPPEN TO LIVE IN A PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE THERE IS A TRADITION OF GETTING SOMETHING VERY GOOD, BUT FOR FREE. IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF GIVING SOMETHING BELONGING TO ALL THE RESIDENTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO JUST A FEW THAT I OBJECT TO.
HERE ARE SOME POSSIBLE WAYS TO MITIGATE THE COSTS, OR MAKE IT MORE FAIR FOR ALL OF US TO CONTRIBUTE, SO THAT SOME NEIGHBORHOODS CAN HAVE CLEANUP PROJECTS. FIRST, IMPLEMENT A VOLUNTARY DONATION FUND LIKE IS ON THE UTILITY BILL, SIMILAR TO THE UTILITY HARDSHIP FUND THAT COULD BE USED TO FUND DUMPSTER NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP PROGRAMS LIKE THESE. SECOND, HAVE ORGANIZERS DO FUNDRAISING IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS BEFORE THE EVENT TO COVER REAL COSTS THAT WILL BENEFIT THOSE RESIDENTS DIRECTLY, BENEFITING NOT HAVING THE CITY PAY FOR ALL THE COSTS OF THESE DUMPSTERS DOES NOT MEAN THE END OF A FANTASTIC NEIGHBORHOOD TRADITION. OTHER TRADITIONS CAN BE MADE THAT WILL HELP THE SITUATION. PUT A WAIVER LINE ON CITY UTILITY BILLS FOR DUMPSTER WAIVERS, SO THAT AT LEAST THE TAXPAYERS HAVE SOME IDEA THAT THEIR MONEY IS BEING APPROPRIATED FOR SOME OF THESE TYPE OF ACTIVITIES THAT ARE GOING TO BE HAPPENING REGULARLY, OR APPROVE A REDUCED FEE SCHEDULE ITEM FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUPS, WHERE THE ORGANIZERS PAY A CERTAIN AMOUNT OR COMMIT TO A CERTAIN NUMBER OF SERVICE OR VOLUNTEER HOURS TO BENEFIT THE ENTIRE CITY IN LIEU OF PAYMENT, WHICH THE CITY COULD THEN CONTRIBUTE THE REMAINING DUMPSTER PROCESSING FEES. THE CASE COULD BE MADE HERE THAT THE WHOLE CITY WOULD BENEFIT FROM THESE ACTIVITIES, NOT JUST SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S SERVICE IN LIEU IS MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE TO TAXPAYERS IN THE CITY. WHEN THE CITY IS GETTING SOMETHING LIKE SERVICES OR VOLUNTEER HOURS IN EXCHANGE FOR THE DUMPSTERS, AND IT CHANGES FROM A NOTHING FOR SOMETHING. VOLUNTEERING AND CLEANUP ACTIVITIES ARE ADMIRABLE AND BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY, BUT THE MANNER IN WHICH IT MUST, IN WHICH IT IS DONE, MUST BE FAIR AND NOT JUST GIVE AN ADVANTAGE. THANK YOU, MISTER BENNETT. ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? COME ON UP AGAIN. NAME AND CITY RESIDENCE. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS RYAN RASMUSSEN. I LIVE IN WEST JORDAN. I AM IN BROWNS MEADOW WHERE THIS IS GOING TO BE DONE. WE'VE DONE IT FOR MANY YEARS. I UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER. BUT THE AVERAGE AGE OF PEOPLE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ARE 80 YEARS OLD. MOST DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE TO TAKE STUFF TO THE DUMPSTER. DAY, WHICH MAYOR BURTON IS ADVERTISES ALL THE TIME. WE DO OUR BEST TO HAUL THEM ON AND HELP THEM, BUT I CAN'T DO IT. YOU KNOW, THEY LINE THESE DUMPSTERS UP. I AGREE WE SHOULD DO THIS FOR ALL OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT YOU TELL ME WHAT NEIGHBORHOODS ARE DOING THIS. OUR NEIGHBORHOODS BEEN DOING IT FOR 20 YEARS. IT'S NOT JUST A TRADITION, IT'S A NEED. IF YOU WANT TO BEAUTIFY A CITY AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S A FAIRLY MINIMAL COST, BUT I DON'T SEE THE I DON'T SEE THE ISSUE. AND I APPRECIATE WE AS A COMMUNITY AND AS MY
[00:55:04]
NEIGHBORHOOD, WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. AND IT IS USED TO MAKE MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR A LOT OF SENIOR CITIZENS WHO REALLY STRUGGLE. AND THOSE. I MEAN, WE HAVE DISABLED PEOPLE THAT, THAT HAVE NO ABILITY TO GET ANYTHING TO THE DUMP. OTHERWISE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT IN THE STREETS. IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE THE OLD WEST VALLEY USED TO LOOK LIKE. SO I'D RATHER NOT THAT I'D RATHER IT BE BEST. JORDAN. SO ANYWAYS, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER? MR. ANDERSON, HAVE WE HAD ANYONE JOIN US ONLINE YET? NO, SIR, YOU HAVE NOT. WELL, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CALL MY MOM AND TELL HER TO GET ONLINE. ALL RIGHT THEN WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION FOR THIS HEARING OF ITEM SIX A, AND WE'LL OPEN THIS UP NOW TO A COUNCIL DISCUSSION. OR IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US, BETHANY, OR ANYONE ELSE, I WILL SAY I HAVE BEEN A PART OF OF THIS AS MORE OF AN OBSERVER SINCE I HAVE BEEN ON THE COUNCIL, I'VE BEEN AMAZED AT HOW MUCH WORK IS PUT TOGETHER. WHAT I DO ENJOY WITH THIS ONE AND WHAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MISSED IN SOME OF THE COMMENTS, IS BEYOND THE AMOUNT OF COMMUNITY THAT IS BUILT WITH THIS AND THE HELPING OF EACH OTHER AND ALL THAT COMES THROUGH IT. I THINK THAT THERE IS SUCH A GREAT AMOUNT OF GOODWILL AND AND GOODNESS THAT COMES FROM THINGS LIKE THIS. AND I'M GRATEFUL TO, TO HAVE HAD THIS ONE. THIS IS THE ONE I'VE SEEN FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS YEAH, I JUST HAVE A QUESTION. I'M GOING TO USE MY NEW COUNCIL MEMBER CARD HERE. ARE WE GOING TO BE VOTING ON EACH OF THESE SEPARATELY? YES. OKAY. SO A VOTE ISN'T FOR ALL OF THEM. IT'S FOR JUST JUST AS THEY COME UP THE BROWNS MEADOW. YEAH, WE'RE JUST ON BROWNS MEADOW RIGHT NOW. THIS IS FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO ARE WONDERING, THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WE DO START TO GET A LOT OF THESE TYPE OF FEE WAIVERS FOR CLEANUP. THE SPRING CLEANING BUG HITS PEOPLE AND THIS WORK COMES THROUGH. SO WE'LL GO THROUGH MORE. ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? DIRECTOR ANDERSON, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO ADD JUST FOR THE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS? MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT. PRIOR TO MAY OF 2020, THE DUMPSTERS WERE FREE. THE CITY COUNCIL AT THE TIME HAD SUBSIDIZED THE DUMPSTERS. I THINK MISS STEC CAN CORRECT ME, BUT I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 8 OR $900,000 A YEAR THAT THE COST OF THE FREE DUMPSTERS WERE AT THE MAY 20TH OR MAY. IN THE MAY 2020 WORK SESSION, THE COUNCIL OPTED TO NO LONGER DO FREE DUMPSTERS AND TO DO A SUBSIDIZED AMOUNT OF 50 FOR THE FIRST DUMPSTER THAT ALLOWED MORE RESIDENTS IN THE CITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS DUMPSTER PROGRAM. IT WAS LATER INCREASED TO $75 FOR THE FIRST DUMPSTER. AFTER THAT, DUE TO INFLATIONARY MEASURES, AND THE COUNCIL HAS OPTED TO SUBSIDIZE THAT PORTION THAT'S IN EXCESS. THAT'S NOTED ON THE ON THE FISCAL NOTE, USUALLY THIS TIME OF YEAR IS WHEN WE GET MOST, IF NOT ALL OF THE FEE WAIVER REQUESTS. SO I EXPECT AFTER TONIGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE A COUPLE MORE AND THEN IT WILL, IT WILL. TAPER OFF. SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE SOME CONTEXT FOR THE THE NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS. THERE ARE OTHER SOLUTIONS THAT I HAVE TALKED TO THE MAYOR ABOUT WITH THE BUDGET THAT YOU'LL BE DISCUSSING, PROBABLY MAY. JUNE. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. ANDERSON. COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS. YES, SORRY. ONE MORE QUESTION. SOMETHING YOU SAID JUST I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY. THIS IS KIND OF A SEASONAL, SEASONAL BUMP, RIGHT? SO THESE THESE KIND OF REQUESTS COME THIS ISN'T A TREND THAT YOU SEE FOREVER. IT'S, IT'S, IT'S TIS THE SEASON FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUP. ALL RIGHT? WE LIKE IT WHEN OUR CITY GETS CLEANED UP AND IT'S USUALLY RIGHT AROUND THIS TIME. IT STARTS A LOT OF THE TREES AND STUFF. ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE COUNCIL? IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE, I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK, I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 6-006 REQUESTING A FEE WAIVER AND THE AMOUNT OF 825 FOR BROWNS MEADOW. SECOND. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER LAMB. ALL RIGHT. WE HAD A MOTION FROM COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK AND A SECOND FROM COUNCILMEMBER LAMB. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK? THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE MR. NOPE. MR. BENNETT DOES NOT APPRECIATE MR.[01:00:07]
BADOURA THAT IS ON RECORD. MR. BENNETT COMING AND SHARING HIS THOUGHTS AND I AT ONE TIME HAD A LOT OF THOSE SAME THOUGHTS. BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS IS AVAILABLE TO ANY NEIGHBORHOOD. AND WHAT WHEN WE DECIDED AS A COUNCIL TO NO LONGER JUST HAVE PLAIN FREE DUMPSTERS, WE DID THAT BECAUSE SOME NEIGHBORHOODS WERE KIND OF OVERUSING. I WOULD SAY. AND SO WE, WE FELT LIKE SOMETHING NEEDED TO BE DONE, BUT ALLOWING A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WANTS TO WORK TOGETHER AND ENSURE THAT A CLEANUP IS DONE JUST SEEMS LIKE A GOOD USE OF FUNDS. AND WHERE IT'S OPEN TO ANYONE, I GUESS I DON'T SHARE THE OPINION THAT THAT ONLY CERTAIN PEOPLE GET IT, BECAUSE ANY NEIGHBORHOOD CAN COME AND APPLY FOR THAT FEE WAIVER. NOW, I WOULD AGREE THAT SERVICE IN LIEU IS MY PREFERRED METHOD, AND I APPRECIATE IT WHEN THEY COME IN AS THAT. AND SOMETIMES EVEN THOUGH THE PERSON PUTS THAT ON THEIR APPLICATION, WHAT COMES BEFORE THE PUBLIC DOES NOT SAY THAT. SO WHILE I APPRECIATE MR. BENNETT'S COMMENTS, I WILL BE A YES ON THESE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUPS. I THINK IT HELPS IN OUR CITY TO KEEP OUR CITY LOOKING BETTER, TO HAVE CLEANUP OCCUR. AND WHEN NEIGHBORS ARE WILLING TO HELP NEIGHBORS, I THINK THAT'S A WIN FOR OUR CITY. THANK YOU, MADAM COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK. ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? COUNCIL MEMBER? JACOB? SURE. I WILL ECHO MUCH OF WHAT COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK JUST SAID. AND YOUR POINT, MR. BENNETT, ABOUT THE THE COST OF X NUMBER OF YOU KNOW, THE MORE THE MORE OF THESE THAT COME IN, THE MORE IT'S GOING TO COST IS VALID. HOWEVER, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD COMPROMISE. MR. ANDERSON'S SUMMARY OF THE HISTORY KIND OF GOES PLAYS INTO THE CONTEXT OF THIS. WHEREAS IT USED TO BE A FREE PROGRAM AND NOW IT'S A YOU PAY A LITTLE BIT PROGRAM, AND IF YOU WANT TO NOT PAY A LITTLE BIT, YOU CAN COME IN AND REQUEST A WAIVER AND JUMP THROUGH A COUPLE OF HOOPS AND YOU'LL MOST LIKELY GET IT. IT'S KIND OF A GOOD COMPROMISE BETWEEN HAVING EVERYBODY PAY FOR A FEW PEOPLE TO ABUSE THE PROGRAM. NOW TO A LITTLE MORE OF A BALANCE. SO I APPRECIATE I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT. AND I, I AGREE THAT IN A LOT OF THINGS YOU WANT THE, THE USERS AND THE BENEFICIARIES TO PAY FOR THE PROGRAM THEY'RE USING OR BENEFIT OR BENEFITING FROM SPECIFICALLY. BUT IN A LOT OF CASES, THERE IS A COMMUNITY GOOD THAT IS BEING PROVIDED.AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK SHOULD BE SUBSIDIZED BY THE CITY. SO, I MEAN, FOR EXAMPLE, A PARK IS PAID FOR BY THE CITY. EVERYBODY PAYS THEIR SAME PROPERTY TAXES, AND ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD GENERALLY USE THAT PARK. BUT THERE IS A GOOD TO HAVING PARKS THAT EVERYBODY BENEFITS FROM. SO WITH THOSE THOUGHTS IN MIND, IT'S I'LL BE I'LL BE IN FAVOR AS WELL TONIGHT. THANKS. ALL RIGHT. WELL, IF THERE'S NO FURTHER DISCUSSION, WE WILL TAKE IT OVER TO MISS SLOANE FOR A VOTE. THANKS, CHAIR. CHAIR. YES.
COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. HARRIS. YES.
COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES. VICE CHAIR. WIGNELL. YES. THE MOTION PASSES SIX IN FAVOR. THANK YOU.
[b. Resolution No. 26-007 Requesting a Deposit Waiver in the Amount of $2,500 for the Security Deposit of the Rodeo Arena and a Reduction of the $600 Main Arena Fee as a Service in Lieu of Fees for the South Oquirrh Hills Riding Club]
WE'LL NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX. B, THIS IS RESOLUTION 20 6-007 REQUESTING THE DEPOSIT WAIVER IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,500 FOR THE SECURITY DEPOSIT OF THE RODEO ARENA, AND A REDUCTION OF THE $600 MAIN ARENA FEE AS A SERVICE IN LIEU OF FEES FOR THE SOUTH OCHER RIDING CLUB. BEFORE WE HEAR FROM OUR FROM OUR APPLICANT, MR. ANDERSON, WE CAN VOTE ON THESE TOGETHER AS ONE RESOLUTION. YES, THIS IS ONE APPLICANT AND THE CONSOLIDATED FEE SCHEDULE LISTS A SECURITY DEPOSIT OF $2,500. LAST TIME THIS CAME BEFORE THE COUNCIL, WE KIND OF DISCUSSED THAT. THAT[01:05:03]
IS TYPICALLY FOR USE OF ALL OF THE FACILITIES THERE AT THE RODEO GROUNDS. THEY'RE ONLY ASKING TO USE THE MAIN RODEO ARENA. WITH PART OF THEIR PERMIT. THEY DO HAVE A THEY RECEIVED FROM THE CITY. THEY DO HAVE A $2 MILLION LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY TO COVER ANYTHING AT THE RODEO ARENA. IN TALKING TO LEGAL. THE $2,500. TYPICALLY, WE DON'T WAIVE THE SECURITY DEPOSIT BECAUSE THAT'S REFUNDED BACK. THIS IS OVER 28 DAYS THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO USE IT OVER SEVERAL MONTHS ALL SUMMER LONG. HOWEVER, IN TALKING WITH LEGAL, THE THE $2,500 BEING IN THE CONSOLIDATED FEE SCHEDULE DOES ALLOW THE COUNCIL TO DECIDE WHETHER TO COLLECT THAT OR NOT. AND LAST YEAR, I BELIEVE YOU DID APPROVE THE WAIVER ON THAT.AND THEN THEY'RE ASKING FOR HALF OR MORE OF THE MAIN ARENA FEE, WHICH WOULD BE $300. OR IF YOU WANTED TO WAIVE THE WHOLE THING LAST YEAR, YOU WAIVED BOTH THE $2,500 DEPOSIT AND THE $600 MAIN ARENA FEE. AND AS SHE MENTIONED, I'M SORRY I FORGOT YOUR FIRST NAME ALREADY. OH, ELENA. YEAH. THE CHRISTIE? YEAH. THEY'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. THEY DO PRACTICE WRITING. AND THE SHERIFF'S POSSE IS IS PART OF THAT. AND THEY THEY SEPARATE.
OKAY, OKAY. SO THEY CAN ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS BETTER THAN I CAN. THE WAIVER DOES NOT. I'M SORRY. THE SECURITY DEPOSIT DOES NOT COUNT AGAINST THE FEE WAIVER BECAUSE THAT'S A SECURITY DEPOSIT. THE $600 WOULD. AND AGAIN, STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT ALL FEE WAIVERS BE LESS THAN 1% COLLECTIVELY. AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE. SO ANYWAY, I'LL LEAVE THAT WITH YOU TO DISCUSS IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS WITH THE APPLICANT. THANK YOU. THEN WE'LL BRING UP OUR APPLICANT, ELENA LITTLE, AND YOU CAN BRING UP YOUR WRITING BUDDY IF YOU'D LIKE. MY PARTNER. AND PLEASE ENLIGHTEN US A LITTLE MORE. FIRST, MY NAME IS ELENA LITTLE AND I AM A RESIDENT OF WEST JORDAN. SAME WITH KRISTIE SPENCER. SHE IS ALSO A RESIDENT OF WEST JORDAN.
WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR MAINLY THE $2,500 DEPOSIT TO TO BE. TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE OF OUR INSURANCE. THAT COVERS ANYTHING THAT WOULD GO WRONG OR COULD GO WRONG OR ANYTHING. WE DID UTILIZE THE FACILITIES LAST YEAR WITH NO PROBLEMS THAT I'M AWARE OF ON OUR END. ANYWAYS, WE TRIED TO KEEP IT GOOD. WE CLEANED UP OUR HORSE MANURE EVEN THOUGH THAT WASN'T ASKED OF US. WE CLEANED UP TRASH FOR YOU GUYS AS WELL AND DEFINITELY TRIED TO HELP WITH THE RODEO IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE AND WORK WITH THEM. SO WE'RE HOPING AT LEAST FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT HELPS OUR CLUB. WE ARE A VERY TINY CLUB, SADLY. SO WEST JORDAN RESIDENTS AND ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE TO JOIN AN ADULT WRITING CLUB, PLEASE COME. WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MORE. AND OF COURSE ANYONE OUTSIDE OF WEST JORDAN. AND THEN ON TOP OF JUST THE FEE SCHEDULE, LIKE I SAID, WE ARE A SMALL CLUB AND WE ARE JUST HOPING TO HELP KEEP OUR CLUB GOING THE BEST WE CAN AND WOULD LIKE TO HELP WITH THAT. I DO UNDERSTAND WE ASKED FOR AT LEAST A REDUCTION JUST BECAUSE OF LIKE TRACTOR COSTS AND WATERING AND STUFF LIKE THAT. WE ARE HAPPY TO HELP WITH MANAGING THAT OR DOING IT SO YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE TO PAY PERSONAL TO DO IT. WE DO HAVE QUALIFIED PEOPLE THAT CAN SHOW CERTIFICATION THAT THEY CAN DRIVE A TRACTOR OR WHATEVER, AND WE'RE HAPPY TO HELP IN OTHER WAYS OUTSIDE OF JUST TAKING CARE OF THE ARENA. WE I AM ALSO A LEADER OF FOR H AND FOR SALT LAKE COUNTY. AND WE TRY TO DO A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SO THAT HELPS AS, AS WELL AS OUR SOUTH OAK RIDING HILLS, WE DO LIKE TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO US. SO WE'RE HAPPY TO LOOK INTO OTHER WAYS THAT YOU GUYS MIGHT THINK OF OR HELPING WITH, LIKE THE PARADE, THE RODEO.
OBVIOUSLY, THOSE ARE UP OUR ALLEY A LITTLE BIT MORE, WHICH IS WHY I SUGGEST THEM. BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO HELP WITH LIKE CLEAN UPS AND THINGS LIKE THAT AS WELL. ELENA IS ALUMNI OF THE RODEO QUEENING COMMUNITY. I CAN'T SAY I EVER QUALIFIED AS THAT YOU QUALIFY. LUCKILY, LAST YEAR THEY DID A CALLBACKS FOR RODEO QUEENS, WHICH WAS COOL, AND I WASN'T EXPECTED. AND IT WAS MY TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY BEING RODEO QUEEN. SO I WAS LIKE, OH WOW. LIKE THANKS. SO YES, I WAS ALSO ONE OF WESTERNS, RODEO QUEENS, AND OUR RIDING CLUB IS ALSO A COMMUNITY OUTREACH D I LOVE EVERYBODY. PLEASE COME JOIN US. WE, WE PASS NO JUDGMENT AS FAR AS
[01:10:05]
RIDING SKILLS OR EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A HORSE. SOME PEOPLE JUST SHOW UP FOR THE HAPPINESS AND THE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY THOSE ANIMALS PUT OFF. THAT BEING SAID, WE HAVE DONE THINGS LIKE THE FOUR H CLEANUP IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. I OWNED A DUMP TRAILER. I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP SOMEBODY OUT. IF YOU KNOW A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT THAT NEEDS A LITTLE HELP, BUT WE HAVE BEEN, AS A CLUB, CIVIC MINDED. WE LET THE MIC GO THERE. THE APPLICANT SPEAKING. OKAY, GO AHEAD AND CONTINUE. WELL, IF YOU CAN'T TELL, WE'VE BEEN PRETTY CIVIC MINDED IN GENERAL WITH REGARD TO OUR GROUP AND TO ALSO TRY TO MAINTAIN WHAT THERE CAN BE LEFT OF THE EQUESTRIAN COMMUNITY AS THE SUBURBAN SPRAWL AND THE CITY SPRAWL TAKES IT AWAY, IT IS A STRUGGLE TO TRY TO MAINTAIN THAT NICHE DESPITE OUR CUTE LITTLE RODEO GROUNDS OVER HERE. AS AS MORE THINGS GROW, MORE BIKE PARKS GET PUT IN THE NECESSARILY THE EQUESTRIAN. SO WE'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT AND ALSO HELP THE COMMUNITY. AS ELENA SAID, BOTH HER AND I RUN TRACTORS. WE WERE BOTH DOING THAT FOR SPANISH FORK LAST YEAR. OUR CLUB SUFFERED SOME CHALLENGES. ELENA GOT A COMPOUND FRACTURE AND BROKE HER LEG, SO WE KIND OF HAD TO BACK OUT A LITTLE EARLIER THAN WE'D LIKE. GOOD JOB ELENA, BUT WE'D LIKE TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT IF WE CAN SO WE JUST DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE PUTTING MONEY INTO THE OFFER. UNDERSTOOD. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'RE GOING TO OPEN THIS UP FOR FOR PUBLIC COMMENT DURING THIS HEARING. IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, WE'LL LET YOU LADIES SIT DOWN FOR A MOMENT, SEE IF ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT. AGAIN, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES AND THEN YOU CAN SPEAK ON THIS TOPIC IF YOU'D LIKE. NONE. MR. ANDERSON AND MY MOM JOINED YET? NO SHE HASN'T. WELL, IT'S HER LOSS. ALL RIGHT THEN WE MIGHT HAVE YOU LADIES POP BACK UP HERE NOW AGAIN, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT QUESTIONS WE MIGHT HAVE FOR YOU FROM THE COUNCIL. ONE THAT I WOULD HAVE, I'M SURE OTHERS MIGHT BE LOOKING AT AS WELL, IS THE SERVICE IN LIEU OF FEES. YOU MENTIONED SOME POSSIBILITIES, BUT DO YOU HAVE THINGS IN MIND THAT YOU ARE DEFINITELY PLANNING TO DO WITH THIS? NOT CURRENTLY, AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. LIKE SHE SAID, I SEVEN MONTHS AGO REALLY, REALLY DID A NUMBER ON MY LEG AS WELL AS WOUND UP PREGNANT. SO THAT'S BEEN A LITTLE ROUGH AND WE'RE LUCKY I'M HERE, SADLY, BUT THAT'S A ROUGH WAY TO GET PREGNANT. LUCKILY, IT'S NOT TECHNICALLY CONNECTED, BUT YES, THAT IS THE RUNNING JOKE. I KNOW IN THE PAST I USED TO DO FOUR H IN THIS ARENA TOO WHEN I WAS A CHILD, AND WE'VE DONE LIKE CLEANING UP THE RODEO STANDS, WHICH WE KIND OF DID ACTUALLY DO LAST YEAR AS A CLUB. WELL, COMMUNITY CLEANUP THAT DIDN'T GO DIRECTLY THROUGH ANY RESOURCES THAT YOU FOLKS WOULD BE AWARE OF. WE HAD A NEIGHBOR THAT DECIDED THEY NEEDED A NEW DRIVEWAY, AND WE WORKED TOGETHER AND HAULED ALL THE DIRT AWAY, WHICH IRONICALLY, WE TOOK TO ANOTHER HORSE FACILITY SO THAT THEY COULD LEVEL OUT THEIR GROUND. SO THERE'S JUST BEEN A FEW THINGS WE'VE DONE, BUT THEY JUST HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH DOCUMENTABLE CHANNELS.YEAH. AND SAME WITH LIKE MY FOUR-H CLUB. WE USED TO LIKE WRITE THE NUMBERS ON THE BLEACHERS AND THAT'S SOMETHING. SO I DON'T HAVE ANY LIKE PLANNED ONES, MAINLY BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOUR GUYS'S NEEDS ARE AT THE TIME, BUT WE'RE DEFINITELY WILLING TO TALK ABOUT IT, FIGURE IT OUT, OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO COME BACK UP IN A MONTH OR TWO OR WHAT? WELL, OKAY, LET ME REPHRASE THAT. PROBABLY IN JUNE SO I CAN HAVE THIS BABY, BUT I'M HAPPY TO BRING STUFF UP THEN TOO. AND OF A PLAN. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COUNCIL VICE CHAIR. WOULD. YES, I AND I'M GOING TO USE MY NEW COUNCIL MEMBER CARD TOO, BECAUSE I WASN'T HERE WHEN YOU GUYS REQUESTED THE FEE WAIVER PREVIOUSLY. AND YOU MENTIONED YOUR INSURANCE. DO WE HAVE PROOF OF INSURANCE? HAS THAT BEEN A REQUIREMENT IN THE PAST THAT WE SEE THAT NOT AND I'M NOT QUESTIONING THAT YOU'RE I PROMISE I JUST I'M A TRUST BUT VERIFY PERSON. YEAH, I DID GIVE IT TO THEM THIS LAST YEAR. I HAVE A COPY OF WHAT IT WOULD STATE. IT DOES NOT HAVE WEST JORDAN ON IT YET AS THAT'S PUT ON ONCE WE GET APPROVED AND I GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU GUYS NEED STATED ON IT, BUT I DO HAVE A COPY IF IT NEEDS TO GO TO YOU GUYS AS WELL RIGHT NOW. OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. ALRIGHTY.
COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK, ELENA AND KRISTIE, HAVE YOU MET GLORY? THIS IS GLORY AND GLORY WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP YOU FOR HER BIRTHDAY. SHE WOULD BE SOMEONE THAT YOU COULD HELP, COULD HELP
[01:15:03]
YOU TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU COULD SERVE. THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. COOL. YEAH. GREAT. GREAT. DO I HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? FOR THIS? I WOULD SAY THAT BEFORE WE GET TO A MOTION, WE WOULD NEED TO DECIDE WHAT WE AS A COUNCIL MIGHT FEEL GOOD AT WAVING. AS FAR AS THE MAIN ARENA FEE AS IT STANDS NOW, AT $600, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A REDUCTION OR COMPLETE WAIVER IN THAT AS WELL.SO I'LL OPEN TO SEE IF ANY OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS. HAVING NO REAL. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS, I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION. IT FEELS A LITTLE OPEN ENDED. WELL, THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO CLOSE THAT OPEN END. THE WAY IT WAS PRESENTED TO US IS THAT THE ARENA FEE RIGHT NOW IS $600, RIGHT? THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A REDUCTION IN THAT. AND ON OUR POTENTIAL MOTION, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A BLANK NEXT TO THE DOLLAR SIGN. WE NEED TO FILL THAT IN WITH SOMETHING PROBABLY UNDER $600. THEY WOULD BE UPSET IF WE WENT HIGHER THAN WHAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY. OR WE COULD SAY WE CAN WAIVE THAT ENTIRELY.
THAT IS UP TO US AS THE COUNCIL IN THIS. BUT THEY ARE LOOKING TO. WHATEVER WE REDUCE. IF IT'S ALL OF 600, THEY ARE LOOKING TO MAKE THAT UP IN WITH SERVICE IN LIEU OF THOSE FEES, IF THAT IS SOMETHING WE DECIDE TO DO. OKAY, I SEE, THANKS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHOOSE A NUMBER, BUT THANKS FOR THE EXPLANATION. SORRY I CAN'T CLOSE IT. I WAS USING MY COUNCIL CHAIR PRIVILEGE TO FORCE SOMEONE ELSE TO SAY THAT. I WILL THROW OUT. THEN I WILL JUST MAKE A MOTION. WE'LL SEE WHAT GOES. I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 6-007, REQUESTING A DEPOSIT WAIVER IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,500 FOR THE SECURITY DEPOSIT OF THE RODEO ARENA, AND A WAIVER OF THE FEE AS A SERVICE IN LIEU OF THAT FEE FOR THE SOUTH HILLS RIDING CLUB. VICE CHAIR. I'LL SECOND. OKAY, I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE WITH THE AMOUNT BEING ZERO FOR THAT AMOUNT MADE BY MYSELF AND A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER WIGNALL. IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THIS? SO THERE'S NO NUMBER? THERE IS NO NUMBER. OKAY. THE NUMBER IS ZERO. OKAY. SO TECHNICALLY THERE IS A NUMBER. GOT IT? GOT IT. ALL RIGHT.
WITHOUT FURTHER DISCUSSION THEN I WILL GO TO MISS SLOAN AND WE'LL HAVE A VOTE. THANK YOU.
COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER LAM YES. CHAIR BADER. YES. VICE CHAIR WIGDAHL.
YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITLOCK. YES. I SHOW THAT MOTION PASSES 6 TO 0 AND WE WILL SICK GLORY ON YOU TO FIND SOMETHING FOR YOU TO DO. ALL RIGHT. PERFECT. THANK YOU
[c. Resolution No. 26-009 Authorizing a Fee Waiver in the Amount of $150 for the Spring Hollow HOA Neighborhood Cleanup Day]
VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON. NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO TO OUR ITEM SIX C. THIS IS ANOTHER FEE WAIVER AND AMOUNTS OF $150 FOR THE SPRING HOLLOW HOA NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN UP DAY. OUR APPLICANT ON THIS IS TRISH HATCH. ACTUALLY IT'LL BE GLORY. TRISH IS UNABLE TO BE HERE THIS EVENING. WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THEN WE WILL. WE WILL HAVE GLORY. OH WE'LL GET YOUR MIC ON HERE. KEEP IN MIND WHAT THE MICROPHONE. THERE WE GO. OKAY. GOOD EVENING. THIS IS THE SPRING CLEANUP THAT HAS BEEN GOING FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS. THEY TAKE THE ROAD OF 70TH SOUTH AND TRUNK LINE AND CLEAN IT FOR THE CITY. THEY'RE ASKING FOR TWO DUMPSTERS AND THE FEE WAIVER FOR THOSE DUMPSTERS. ALL RIGHT, ANYTHING FURTHER WE NEED FROM YOU, MR. ANDERSON, OR ANY QUESTIONS THAT WE MIGHT HAVE FROM THE COUNCIL? IT'S IT'S THE SAME. YES, I KNOW THE OTHER ONES. SO JUST TRYING TO TRYING TO TOUCH ALL THE BASES AS WE ROUND, THEN WE WILL OPEN THIS UP AS WELL TO A PUBLIC COMMENT DURING THIS PUBLIC HEARING. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, YOU CAN STEP FORWARD. NOT SEEING THE MAD RUSH WILL OH OH NOW I NOW I SEE MR. LEE CORBIN. WE'LL[01:20:09]
SPEAK AFTER YOU CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT. OH, OH, I THOUGHT YOU WERE MAKING A PUBLIC COMMENT.SOMEHOW I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUMPING IN. I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT SO THAT WE CAN HEAR FROM FROM MR. LEE. THIS AS GLORIA MENTIONED, THIS NEIGHBORHOOD CLEANUPS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS. THIS ONE'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. THIS THIS IS IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH SPRING HOLLOW HOA, IT'S SURROUNDED BY PUBLIC SPACES. IT'S GOT A VERY BUSY ROAD OUT IN FRONT, 70TH SOUTH ON THE WEST SIDE OF IT IS THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER CORRIDOR, A BUNCH OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER LAND. AND ON THE EAST SIDE OF IT IS THE JORDAN RIVER TRAIL. THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. WE HAVE NOT DONE IN THE PAST A FEE WAIVER REQUEST FOR THEM AS THEY'VE REQUESTED DUMPSTERS. BUT THE DUMPSTERS ARE TO CLEAN UP CITY PROPERTY AND PUBLIC PROPERTY. THEREFORE, WE VIEWED IT AS A CITY SERVICE PROJECT AND DIDN'T CHARGE THEM A FEE. DIDN'T SEE A WAIVER OF A FEE BECAUSE IT WASN'T A PRIVATE PROPERTY BENEFIT. IT WAS MORE OF A PUBLIC PROPERTY BENEFIT. THIS YEAR, WE THOUGHT WE MAYBE OUGHT TO RUN IT THROUGH THIS FEE WAIVER REQUEST, DISCLOSE TO THE COUNCIL IT'S HAPPENING.
THEY HAVE ASKED FOR TWO DUMPSTERS IN THE PAST. IT'S BEEN ONE DUMPSTER. SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. BUT JUST WANTED YOU TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION. THIS IS PRIMARILY TO CLEAN UP PUBLIC PROPERTY SURROUNDING THE HOA. AND IT'S A SERVICE PROJECT DONE BY THE HOA.
IT'S NOT PRIMARILY TO BENEFIT CLEANUP OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD PRIVATE PROPERTIES. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY ANY MORE DISCUSSION? DOES ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION ON THIS? SEEING NONE, I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION. COUNCIL MEMBER LAM I MOVED TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 6-009. I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION THAT WAS FROM COUNCIL MEMBER LAM SECONDED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION NEEDED HERE? SEEING NONE, WE WILL MOVE TO MISS SLOAN FOR A VOTE. THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR WAGNER. YES, COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WHITELOCK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER LAM YES. CHAIR. YES. I SHOW THAT MOTION PASSES 6 TO 0.
[d. Resolution No. 26-010 Requesting a Fee Waiver in the Amount of $4,902 for the Jordan Education Foundation for the Challenge Obstacle Run]

THIS IS FOR THE AMOUNT OF $4,902 FOR THE JORDAN EDUCATION FOUNDATION. FOR THE CHALLENGE OBSTACLE COURSE WE HAVE KRISTINA LEIKAM. AND PLEASE FILL US IN.

SO WE'VE WE'VE RAISED THIS EVENT WILL RAISE ABOUT $20,000, AND WE DO IT EVERY YEAR FOR THE LAST 11 YEARS, EXCEPT FOR THE COVID YEAR 2020. AND YOUR CITY HAS BEEN A GREAT PARTNERSHIP IN IT, NOT ONLY FOR OUR CIVIC INVOLVEMENT. AND TYPICALLY WE DO A FEW FEE AND WAIVER OF SERVICE. WE HAVE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL KIDS THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT COME THROUGH AND DO 100 HOURS PLUS OF SERVICE.
TYPICALLY, WE ACTUALLY AVERAGE ABOUT 260 HOURS OF SERVICE EACH YEAR JUST FOR WEST JORDAN CITY SPECIFICALLY. SO YOUR ACTUAL FEE WAIVER ACTUALLY GETS YOU QUITE A BIT OF SERVICE FOR THAT.
AND WE DO SEVERAL PROJECTS, NOT ONLY JUST AT PARKS, BUT PAINTING IN THE PAST AND OTHER COMMUNITY EVENTS. SO WE'RE PRETTY MUCH AT YOUR SERVICE AS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THIS IS A
[01:25:05]
DISTRICT WIDE EVENT AND WE HAVE A GREAT PARTICIPATION. WE, OUR TEACHERS, COME FREE, BUT OUR STUDENTS OR OUR FAMILIES THAT JOIN HAVE A FEE.

[e. Ordinance No. 26-18 Amendments to West Jordan City Code Title 13, Chapter 5B, Section 8 – Accessory Dwelling Units]
YOU GUYS ARE READY TO MOVE ON THIS. ODDLY ENOUGH, I'M GOING TO SURPRISE ALL OF YOU. OUR NEXT ONE IS NOT A FEE WAIVER. WE'RE LOOKING AT ITEM SIX C. THIS IS ORDINANCE 2618 DASH 18 AMENDMENTS TO THE WEST JORDAN CITY CODE TITLE 13, CHAPTER FIVE B, SECTION EIGHT.ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS. AND WE'VE GOT OUR CITY ATTORNEY PATRICK BOYCE. AND YOU BROUGHT A FRIEND. LOOK AT YOU, MISTER CHAIR. YEAH, I'VE BROUGHT MY GOOD FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE, MISTER GREG DAVENPORT HERE, WATER MASTER EXTRAORDINAIRE, TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE CHANGE. THIS HAS BEEN BEFORE A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. MOST OF THE CHANGES THAT YOU'RE SEEING IN THE RED LINE ARE STYLISTIC. THEY'RE UPDATES TO DEFINITIONS. THEY'RE UPDATES TO CHANGES IN STATE CODE. WE'VE MADE A COUPLE OF CHANGES BECAUSE THE STATE MADE SOME WORDING INSTEAD OF AN EXTERNAL ADU, THEY'RE CALLING THEM DETACHED ADUS OR DADOS IF YOU WANT, WHICH I THINK IS FUN TO SAY. THE OTHER THING THAT'S INCLUDED IN HERE THAT MR. DAVENPORT WAS INSTRUMENTAL ON AND CAN SPEAK TO IF YOU'D LIKE, IS JUST THE STANDARDS AND THE METHODS THAT WE'D USE TO ADD A SECOND METER TO A DADO. IF, IF IT COMES TO THAT, THAT IT NEEDS TO COMPLY WITH OUR PLUMBING CODE AND THAT IT NEEDS TO MEET CERTAIN STANDARDS THAT MAKE IT EASY AND FEASIBLE FOR THE CITY TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE UNITS AND THOSE METERS. BUT IT LEAVES THE DOOR OPEN. IT'S NOT AN OUTRIGHT PROHIBITION ON IT. IT'S IT'S FAIRLY FLEXIBLE AND ALLOWS A CASE BY CASE SITUATION, AS ONE OF OUR FORMER MAYORS HAS MENTIONED TODAY IN HIS PUBLIC COMMENTS. SO ANYWAY, I DON'T KNOW, MR. DAVENPORT, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD. NO, THAT'S GREAT, UNLESS YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS? WELL, FROM THE CZAR OF WATER, WE
[01:30:01]
SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THESE AP. NOT AT THE MOMENT. BUT WHO KNOWS? WE MIGHT, AFTER OUR PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION FOR THIS, WHICH I'M GOING TO OPEN RIGHT NOW. AGAIN, THIS IS WHERE YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK ON THIS SUBJECT. IF SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, WE JUST ASK FOR YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE. DAVE NEWTON, WEST JORDAN. MOST OF THE DISCUSSION THAT WE'VE HAD IN IN YOUR. YEAH, YOUR PRE-MEETING MEETING, MEETING OF THE WHOLE HAS EVOLVED AROUND THE WATER. WATER METERS IS A SEPARATE, SEPARATE METER. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ELECTRIC AND GAS METERS AS WELL. AND THE THE STATE HAS PUT US IN THIS BOX THAT I MENTIONED BEFORE. AND, AND BY ALLOWING THESE, THESE METERS ACCORDING TO CODE, THEN WE'RE MAKING THIS BOX EASIER TO LIVE WITH. AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO VOTE FOR IT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR NEWTON. ALL RIGHT. ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME UP AND SPEAK ON THIS? NO. YOU BRINGING OUT THAT THEATER? YEAH. WELL, I'VE TALKED TO MAYOR NEWTON A LITTLE BIT. WELL, EX-MAYOR, ANYWAY, ABOUT SOME OF THIS. AND HE'S REALLY TRIED TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO FOLLOW THE CODE, TO MAKE SURE THAT HE'S GOT THINGS CROSSED AND DOTTED AND DONE EVERYTHING. AND IF WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW THESE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS, WHICH I KIND OF WISH THEY HADN'T BECAUSE I WANTED THAT MORE RURAL ATMOSPHERE, AND NOW I GET TO SHARE IT WITH TWICE AS MANY PEOPLE. YAY! THE PROJECT! IF ANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR THAT HE'S WORKING ON IS INDEED JUST SIMPLY DIVIDING THAT IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WILL BE A GOOD PART OF THE COMMUNITY COMING DOWN THE ROAD AND BE ABLE TO BE THEN USED IN THEIR TRUST AND IN THEIR FOLLOWING AND FOR THEIR KIDS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. WHEREAS THE DOMINO ADU HOUSE OVER ON 27TH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL. THANKS. THANK YOU, MISS SPENCER. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? MR. ANDERSON, ANYONE ONLINE WHO WOULD LIKE TO JOIN THIS? STILL? NO. MY MOM.ALL RIGHT. THEN WITH. OH, WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION. WE'LL SEE IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING FROM THE COUNCIL ON THIS MATTER. WE ARE. OH COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB, I'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2618. WHITELOCK ALL RIGHT. THEN I HAVE THE MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB, A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK, AND I'LL CHECK WITHOUT ANY THOUGHT THAT WE MIGHT HAVE ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THIS. SEEING NONE, I WILL MOVE ON TO MISS SLOAN AND WE WILL LOOK FOR A VOTE.
THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER LAM. YES, CHAIR. YES, COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK. YES. VICE CHAIR YES. I SHOW THE MOTION PASSES 6 TO 0.
[f. Ordinance No. 26-19 Amending West Jordan City Code Title 13, Chapter 6, Article K to Add Area D to the IOZ Map and Make Associated Technical Revisions and Clarifications]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'VE GOT THE LAST OF OUR PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. THIS IS GOING TO BE ITEM SIX F. THIS IS ORDINANCE NUMBER 26 DASH 19 TO AMEND THE WEST JORDAN CITY CODE, TITLE 13, CHAPTER SIX ARTICLE K TO ADD AREA D TO THE I, O, Z MAP AND MAKE ASSOCIATED TECHNICAL REVISIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS. WITH THIS WE HAVE MR. FORSYTH, ONE OF OUR CITY PLANNERS, TO BE HERE FOR THIS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. SO SORRY I'M USING THIS. SO JUST TO START WITH A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND AND HOW THIS ALL STARTED. SO UDOT OWNS THE SHOPPING CENTER AND PARKING LOT JUST ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF BANGERTER HIGHWAY AND 6200 SOUTH THAT THAT LARGE HIGHWAY INTERCHANGE THERE. AND SO THEY ACQUIRED THE PROPERTY SEVERAL YEARS AGO IN ORDER TO BUILD THAT, THAT NEW OVERPASS AND THE ON AND OFF RAMPS THERE AND IN THE PROCESS TOOK OUT A LOT OF THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS IN THERE.THERE WAS A NEW DOLLAR TREE THERE ORIGINALLY, AND MOST OF THAT SHOPPING CENTER THAT WAS THERE WAS TAKEN OUT AS WELL. SO TODAY, THERE'S REALLY JUST KIND OF A, A HANDFUL OF SMALL
[01:35:04]
BUSINESSES IN THERE. AND WHAT'S LEFT OF THE SHOPPING CENTER, THERE'S A STARBUCKS ON THE NORTH AND A VERY LARGE UNDERUTILIZED PARKING LOT IN BETWEEN. SO, SO THAT'S BEEN KIND OF STRUGGLING TO MARKET THIS AND FIND POTENTIAL BUYERS, POTENTIAL DEVELOPERS TO USE THAT SPACE. AND SO REALLY KIND OF WANTED TO EXPAND THEIR OPTIONS. AND SO IN DECEMBER, THEY MET WITH THE COUNCIL AND THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING TO SEE WHAT THOSE OPTIONS ARE. AND ONE OF THE OPTIONS THAT WAS FLOATED IN THAT MEETING WAS TO. EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY OF CREATING AN I, O OR AN INTERCHANGE OVERLAY ZONE TO ALLOW FOR MORE OF A VARIETY OF USES. SO THIS COULD ALLOW FROM COMMERCIAL TO MIXED USE TO HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL, KIND OF WITHIN THAT THAT AREA. SO THE RESULTS OF THAT MEETING, THE COUNCIL SEEMED FAIRLY POSITIVE. AND WITH THAT, STAFF WAS DIRECTED TO DRAFT THE ORDINANCE THAT IS BEFORE YOU TONIGHT. SO I DO WANT TO GIVE KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THIS IS NOT. SO THIS IS NOT A REZONE. IT'S NOT A FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT. IT'S NOT A PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN.THIS REALLY JUST MAKES IT POSSIBLE AND SETS THE TABLE FOR SOMEONE TO REZONE THE PROPERTY AND GET THOSE ENTITLEMENTS FOR AN I, O, Z. WHEREAS TODAY THEY REALLY DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION.
SO WHAT THIS WILL ALSO DO IS BASICALLY AMEND THE THE MAP IN THE ORDINANCE. AND I'LL GO OVER THAT LATER, BUT IT'LL ALSO ADD A NEW DESCRIPTION OF THE OVERALL AREA AND KIND OF PROVIDE THE INTENT FOR WHAT THIS AREA D WILL BE, WHICH IS REALLY TO CREATE A MIXED USE COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL AREA IN A WAY THAT'S APPROPRIATE TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND REALLY KIND OF CREATES A GOOD TRANSITION FROM FROM THAT SINGLE FAMILY TO THE HIGHER DENSITY. SO THIS MAP JUST SHOWS THE AFFECTED AREA THERE. SO UDOT OWNS THE PROPERTY ON THE EAST SIDE OF DIXIE DRIVE, BUT THE COUNCIL HAD WANTED TO EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITY IN THE COMMITTEE. THE WHOLE MEETING OF INCLUDING THE REAMS THERE, THE VACANT LAND THERE AND THE DAYCARE AS WELL. SO KIND OF CREATING THAT, INCLUDING THAT WHOLE AREA RATHER THAN JUST ONE PROPERTY. SO HERE YOU CAN SEE THE, THE CURRENT MAP IN THE ORDINANCE AND THE PROPOSED MAP.
SO THE CURRENT MAP REALLY JUST FOCUSES ON THE MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR AND REALLY DOESN'T INCLUDE ANY OTHER AREAS. SO THIS NEW MAP WOULD REALLY INCLUDE THAT CORRIDOR. AND THEN JUST THE ONE AREA ON HIGHWAY. AND IN CASE YOU CAN'T SEE IT, THERE'S A RED ARROW MARKING IT.
SO JUST REALLY QUICK GOING OVER THE CONSIDERATION CRITERIA. WE FEEL THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN WITH BASICALLY THIS CREATES ANOTHER AREA IN THE CITY THAT ALLOWS FOR FOR MORE MIXED USE, WHEREAS IT'S KIND OF LIMITED AS TO WHERE WE CAN DO THAT. SO THIS REALLY JUST CREATES ANOTHER OPTION, CREATES POTENTIAL FOR HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT NEAR EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE, PARTICULARLY NEXT TO THE INTERCHANGE TO HANDLE THE TRAFFIC. AND IN AN AREA WHERE WE'VE GOT EXISTING UTILITIES AROUND IT. AND THEN THIRDLY, JUST CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A NEW PLANNED COMMERCIAL MIXED USE CENTER THAT WE CAN CONTROL.
AND THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN PROCESS, IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT SUFFICIENT, SUFFICIENT JUSTIFICATION FOR THE TEXT AMENDMENT. BASICALLY, LIKE I WAS SAYING BEFORE, THIS IS JUST KIND OF AN UNDERUTILIZED SHOPPING CENTER THAT HOPEFULLY BY ADDING THE IOC, WE CAN BRING BREATHE MORE LIFE INTO CONFLICTS WITH OTHER ORDINANCES. WE'VE WE'VE LOOKED THROUGH THE CODE AND REALLY THESE CHANGES ARE PRETTY SPECIFIC JUST TO THE IOC ORDINANCES THEMSELVES. THERE'S REALLY NO OTHER OTHER SECTIONS OF THE CODE THAT IT WOULD AFFECT. THERE'S JUST A FEW FEW TWEAKS IN THE NUMBERING THAT WE NEED TO MAKE. AND IN ADDITION TO THE MAP AND THE PURPOSE STATEMENT. AND THEN LASTLY, DOES THE TEXT AMENDMENT GRANT SPECIAL PRIVILEGE TO ONE ENTITY? WELL, WHILE UDOT IS INCLUDED IN THIS ONE, IT ALSO INCLUDES
[01:40:04]
OTHER PROPERTIES LIKE THE SAME RINGS, THE VACANT LAND BEHIND IT, THE DAYCARE. SO THERE'S IT'S REALLY KIND OF AFFECTS THAT WHOLE AREA RATHER THAN JUST JUST THAT ONE PROPERTY.AND THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT. AND I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. FORSYTHE? VICE CHAIR WIGNALL THE AREA JUST OFF THE WHERE REEM'S IS, ARE THOSE SHOPS GOING TO BE CLOSED AND I GUESS REPLACED AND SAME WITH MAYBE I MISSED MISSED THIS PART.
I WAS READING THE. YEAH. SO THAT WOULD REALLY BE UP TO THE. ANY FUTURE DEVELOPER AND WHAT THEY PROPOSE IN THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. SO THIS, THIS ORDINANCE, LIKE I WAS SAYING, JUST REALLY KIND OF SETS, SETS THE STAGE AND ALLOWS THEM TO DO THAT. BUT THERE'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE A LOT OF LEGWORK DONE WITH THE PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT TRAFFIC, LOOKING AT PARKING, LOOKING AT DENSITY, ALL OF THAT. SO, OKAY. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK. IF I RECALL CORRECTLY, WHEN UDOT CAME IN, THEIR SPOKESPERSON TO TALK ABOUT THIS PIECE OF LAND, THEY DID SAY THAT THOSE BUSINESSES WOULD GO AND WHAT THEY WANTED TO PUT IN WAS HIGH DENSITY HOUSING THERE. SO SINCE THEY'RE THAT PROPERTY OWNER AND THAT WAS WHAT THEY BROUGHT TO US AT THE LAST MEETING, I THINK THAT'S THE INTENT.
COUNCILMEMBER LAMB, JUST A FEW COMMENTS. NO QUESTIONS. IT'S WEIRD TO THINK THAT HERE I AM ON THIS COUNCIL 20 YEARS LATER. WHEN I WAS FIVE, I USED TO RIDE MY BIKE IN THAT FIELD. IT'S BEEN 20 YEARS NOW. SO YEAH, SO THIS WHOLE AREA WAS THE SHOPPING CENTER. THE RIMS WAS NOT THERE WHEN I LIVED THERE AS A KID. SO IT'S JUST I WANTED TO JUST MAKE A COMMENT THAT THIS IS INTERESTING, THAT HERE I AM ON THE CITY COUNCIL AS AN ADULT, AND NOW I'M LOOKING BACK AT MY CHILDHOOD GOING, OH, HEY, YEAH, I USED TO RIDE MY BIKE THROUGH ALL THAT AND I'M INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO WITH IT. IT'S REALLY SINCE BANGERTER CAME IN AS A CHILD, BANGERTER WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE PUT THERE, WE WERE TOLD, BUT IT WASN'T THERE. WHEN I WAS A KID, IT WAS A FARM. BUT ONCE BANGERTER CAME IN, IT KIND OF MESSED UP THIS WHOLE AREA, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD TO TAKE AWAY HALF OF THE SHOPPING CENTER AND. AND REEM'S. I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH LONGER THAT'S GOING TO BE THERE. IT'S, YOU KNOW, REEM'S IS STILL A GREAT GROCERY STORE, BUT IT'S ALSO AN OLDER BUILDING AND IT'S REALLY TINY IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN IN THAT, THAT LOCATION. SO I'M, I'M ALL FOR LOOKING AT THIS AREA AND, AND DOING THIS ZONING, THIS NEW ZONING AND SEEING WHAT SOMEONE CAN COME IN AND MAKE PART OF MY CHILDHOOD LOOK EVEN BETTER. SO THANK YOU. I WILL SAY A LITTLE MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO WHEN I MOVED IN, I WOULD DRIVE BY THAT AREA CONTINUOUSLY, SAW THINGS CHANGE, SAW STORES COME UP, SAW STORES GET TAKEN DOWN, STORES, NOT STORES THEY BECAME. BUT YEAH, SO IT IS INTERESTING TO SEE THIS LITTLE AREA CHANGING SO MUCH AND STILL BEING NOT NEAR THE POTENTIAL IT COULD BE. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? I WAS GOING TO SAY, MAYBE WE CAN TURN IT BACK INTO THE PLACE WHERE I RODE MY BIKE, TURN IT INTO A FIELD. THANK YOU. THAT WOULD DO THAT. YEAH, EXACTLY. CAN WE HAVE THE COUNCIL MEMBER LAND BIKE PARK? I DON'T THINK WE'VE GOT ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR YOU RIGHT NOW, MR. FORSYTH, BUT WE WILL OPEN THIS UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS. IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ORDINANCE THAT THAT WE HAVE HERE, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK, AND YOU COULD DO SO BY COMING UP. OR NOT, AND WE'LL LOOK ONLINE. I'M GOING TO ASSUME WE'RE STILL VACANT. YOU ARE CORRECT. AT LEAST I'M DOING THAT RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THEN WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION FOR THIS. WE'LL JUST CHECK TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION FROM THE COUNCIL. AND SEEING NONE, I WILL THEN LOOK FOR A MOTION ON THIS.
COUNCIL MEMBER LAM. I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NUMBER 26 DASH 19. I WILL SECOND, SO WE WILL HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER LAM, A SECOND FROM MYSELF AND JUST ASK ONCE MORE IF THERE'S ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS MOTION. AND WITH THAT, WE WILL MOVE ON TO MISS SLOAN FOR OUR VOTE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER LAM YES. COUNCIL MEMBER
[01:45:05]
WHITELOCK. NO. COUNCIL MEMBER WIGNALL. YES. CHAIR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES, I SHOW THAT MOTION PASSES FIVE TO TO ONE WITH COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK AS THE NO. ALL RIGHT[a. Resolution No. 26-011 Authorizing the Mayor to execute a Lease Agreement for the West Jordan Historical Society]
THEN. NOW WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR BUSINESS ITEMS. ALWAYS SOUNDS WEIRD SINCE IT SEEMED LIKE THAT WAS VERY BUSINESS LIKE, BUT NOW ACTUAL BUSINESS. ITEM SEVEN A RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 6-011, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A LEASE AGREEMENT FOR THE WEST JORDAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY. AND WE'LL HAVE MR. CORBYN LEE PRESENT THIS IDEA TO US. COUNCIL. AS YOU KNOW, THE LEASE AGREEMENT HAS EXPIRED FOR THE MUSEUM SITE. THIS IS A LEASE OF THE LAND. I WANT TO BE CLEAR. IT'S NOT A LEASE OF THE HOUSE OR THE BARN OR THE COLLECTION. WE DON'T OWN ANY OF THOSE. WE OWN THE LAND UNDERNEATH. WE AT LEAST WE HAVE HISTORICALLY LEASED THE LAND TO THE MUSEUM. THIS IS A NEW LEASE AGREEMENT BECAUSE THE PRIOR LEASE AGREEMENT EXPIRED PRIOR TO US RENEWING IT. WE. SO WE. WE NEED TO EXECUTE A NEW LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE MUSEUM. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM MR. LEE ON THIS? IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS ON THESE. IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING, WE DON'T DO PUBLIC COMMENTS ON OUR BUSINESS ITEMS, SO WE WILL GO TO SEE IF WE HAVE NO MORE QUESTIONS IF WE HAVE A MOTION ON THIS. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK, I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 6-0 11, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A LEASE AGREEMENT FOR THE WEST JORDAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS, I'M SO SORRY. I ACTUALLY HAD A QUESTION. I WAS JUST A HAIR TOO SLOW. YOU CAN ASK THE QUESTION. YOU CAN COMMENT IN JUST A MOMENT. MY QUESTION AFTER THE MOTION, I, OH, I SECOND, I SECOND. OKAY, YOU CAN SECOND THEN YES, YOU CAN DO THAT. OH, I UNDERSTAND NOW HOLD ON ONE MOMENT AS I SAY THAT WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK AND AN ENTHUSIASTIC SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS. AND NOW IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS MOTION? SO MY QUESTION WAS, DO WE DO THIS EVERY YEAR FOR THE LEASE AGREEMENT? THE MAYOR WHISPERED TO ME, NOT INTENTIONALLY. IT'S IT'S A I I'M PAUSING A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT TERMS. WE CAN LOOK IT UP, BUT I BELIEVE IT'S A FIVE YEAR LEASE AGREEMENT WITH OPTIONS TO RENEW. OKAY. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS RESOLUTION? THEN WE WILL LOOK FOR A VOTE. MISS SLOANE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK. YES. VICE CHAIR. YES. CHAIR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB. YES.COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER LAM YES. I SHOW THAT MOTION PASSES 6 TO 0. WE
[b. Resolution No. 26-012 Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a Grant Agreement for the West Jordan Historical Society]
WILL NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN B, RESOLUTION NUMBER 20 6-0 12, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE A GRANT AGREEMENT FOR THE WEST JORDAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY. MR. LEE, WE'LL GO TO YOU AGAIN. THANK YOU. THIS IS SEPARATE AND DISTINCT FROM THE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE MUSEUM.SO THERE'S TWO AGREEMENTS. ONE IS THE LEASE. THEY CAN USE THE LAND AT THE PARK TO PUT THEIR BUILDING, THEIR HOUSE, THEIR BARN AND THEIR COLLECTION ON IT SEPARATELY. THIS IS A GRANT AGREEMENT FOR THE MUSEUM TO RECEIVE PER COUNCIL APPROPRIATIONS, AND ONLY BY APPROPRIATION FROM THE COUNCIL A GRANT EACH YEAR, GIVEN THE CONDITION THAT THEY OPERATE THE MUSEUM, THEY HAVE TO OPERATE THE MUSEUM, MAKE IT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, BE OPEN SET IN REGULAR HOURS EACH WEEK AND NEW. IN THIS GRANT AGREEMENT IS AN EXHIBIT THAT REQUIRES THEM TO.
THEY HAD PRIOR A REQUIREMENT TO REPORT TO THE COUNCIL, BUT IT WASN'T SPELLED OUT VERY WELL.
