[a. City Council Reports]
REPORTS. OUR FIRST GOING TO BE OUR CITY COUNCIL REPORTS. I WILL START JUST BRIEFLY SAYING WHAT AN HONOR THIS HAS BEEN TO BE THE CHAIR OF THIS COUNCIL. VERY EXCITED. WE HAVE MADE A CHANGE IN COUNCIL'S THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THESE SIX MONTH TERMS, AND MINE WILL BE COMING TO AN END AS FAR AS COUNCIL MEETINGS ARE FOR AT THIS POINT, BUT THIS HAS BEEN JUST A GREAT CHANCE OF SERVICE. AND JUST, JUST JUST HUMBLING. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE BEEN MOST GRATEFUL ABOUT IS THE REALIZATION AND THE HONORED SPEND TO REALLY WORK OUT THAT THIS COUNCIL CHAIR POSITION IS NOT ABOUT BEING THE SMARTEST PERSON IN THE ROOM, BUT TRYING TO BE THE UNIFIER OF THE ROOM. AND THAT IS A TASK I TOOK ON WITH THIS, AND I'VE BEEN VERY HAPPY TO SEE HOW THAT HAS BEEN WORKING OUT. AND I'M GRATEFUL TO MY VICE CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER WIGNALL, AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT SHE IS GOING TO BRING TO HER POSITION AS CHAIR. SO AGAIN, I THANK YOU ALL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY YOU GAVE ME FOR THIS COUNCIL MEMBER, WHITELOCK. THANK YOU. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY, AS SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE AWARE OF OR NOT AWARE OF. THE HOSPITAL IN OUR CITY WAS NOT TOO LONG AGO. ABOUT A YEAR, YEAR OR SO AGO WAS WHEN IT FIRST CAME TO OUR CITY. IT WAS HOLY CROSS AND THEN IT WAS SOLD TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL ORGANIZATION AND HOLY CROSS. COMMON SPIRIT HAS ACQUIRED THAT PROPERTY AGAIN IN THAT HOSPITAL, AND THEY'VE MADE SOME GREAT UPDATES. AND I WAS PRIVILEGED TO BE ABLE TO ATTEND THEIR CHRISTENING OF THEIR NEW CHAPEL THERE. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE AND WAS VERY WELL DONE. SO WELCOME, HOLY CROSS, TO SAY THANKS TO CITY STAFF FOR AN EXCELLENT MOVIE IN THE PARK.MY KIDS ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT. IN PARTICULAR, MAYOR, THE STAND UP ROUTINE YOU DID AT THE BEGINNING WAS REALLY A CROWD PLEASER WITH MY CHILDREN, AND MY SON HAS BEEN TELLING EVERYONE THAT HE TOLD JOKES WITH THE MAYOR, SO THANKS FOR THAT. IT WAS BEAUTIFULLY ORGANIZED AND SUPER FUN. AND I DO KNOW THAT COUNCILMEMBER HARRIS'S SON LOVES TO TELL JOKES. THAT IS HIS FAVORITE THING. COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON. THANK YOU. ON THURSDAY THE 18TH, I ATTENDED THE ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPAL COUNCILS MEETING IN MURRAY, AND THAT THAT MEETING MOSTLY DISCUSSED IDEAS SURROUNDING WATER CONSERVATION. IT WAS A GOOD MEETING AND SOME GOOD IDEAS WERE DISCUSSED AND SHARED. ALSO ON SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO SHARE WAS ON FRIDAY, JUNE 12TH, MY WIFE AND I. WE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO TAKE OUR 2020 YEAR OLD KITTY AND HAVE HER PUT TO SLEEP. SAD DAY FOR OUR FAMILY, BUT WE TOOK OUR KITTY OUT TO THE WEST JORDAN CITY ANIMAL SERVICES BUILDING AND EVERYONE OUT THERE WAS JUST SO KIND AND PATIENT. AS WE SAID
[00:10:02]
GOODBYE TO OUR. OUR DEAR OLD CAT. AND I JUST WANT TO THANK DANNY CHILL AND AND HIS STAFF AND AND DAN FOR HIS AMAZING WORK. OVER MANY YEARS. HE'S BEEN OUT THERE FOR HIS WORK IN BUILDING SUCH A, AN AMAZING DEPARTMENT WITH, WITH AN AMAZING STAFF. SO THANK YOU.THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON. I'D LIKE TO ECHO THOSE AS WELL. THAT IS A AN AMAZING TEAM WE HAVE THERE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ANY STATEMENTS? WE DO HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB WHO IS ONLINE AT THIS TIME. I'M NOT SURE IF HE HAS A HAND RAISED TO SPEAK OR NOT. NOPE. ALL RIGHT. THEN WE WILL END OUR CITY COUNCIL
[b. Mayor’s Report]
REPORTS AND MOVE ON TO THE MAYOR'S REPORT. MAYOR, THANK YOU. MAPLE HILLS PARK, THERE IT IS. WE HAD SOME. THE COPPER HILL AZURE PROVIDED SERVICE FOR US. AND THAT'S A PICTURE OF THEM GOING OUT THERE AND MAKING THAT REPLACING THE OR ADDING THE SOFTBALL ON THERE, WHICH IS BASICALLY A BARK, ESPECIALLY TREATED. SO IF SOME CHILD DECIDES THEY WANT TO CHEW ON THE BARK, THEY WON'T GET CANCER. WE DON'T RECOMMEND YOU DO THAT WITH THE REGULAR BARK STUFF. SO ANYWAY, THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL IN GETTING THAT SPREAD OUT AND TAKING CARE OF OUR PLAYGROUNDS OVER THERE. SO THANK YOU FOR THE TO THE COPPER HILLS AND THE MANITOU FESTIVAL. I ALMOST FORGOT THE NAME OF THAT, BUT I SHOULDN'T BECAUSE MANITOU MEANS REMEMBER. AND SO THEY HAD THEIR FESTIVAL HERE IN WEST JORDAN. IT WAS A THREE DAY EVENT, AND IT WAS A SPECTACULAR OPPORTUNITY TO BE THERE. AND I DID NOT CHOOSE THOSE PHOTOS, BY THE WAY, BUT I WAS HONORED AT THAT EVENT. THEY HONORED ME AS THE MAYOR AND IN ARE SITTING NEXT TO A COUPLE. STATE REPRESENTATIVES ARE ALSO HONORED THERE AND SOME OTHERS. AND IT WAS A GREAT TO SEE THEM COMING TOGETHER. THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT REMEMBERING THEIR HERITAGE AND WHERE THEY'VE COME FROM WHILE THEY'RE HERE AND INCORPORATING AND BECOME AMERICANS WHILE REMEMBERING THEIR PACIFIC ISLANDER ROOTS. AND IT WAS A GOOD, SUCCESSFUL EVENT. THEY HAD THEIR MOVIES IN THE PARK. YOU HEARD ABOUT THAT ALREADY. SO THAT WAS GREAT. WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE COMING UP, WHICH IS GOING TO BE ON JULY 3RD, AND THAT'LL BE NATIONAL TREASURE RIGHT HERE IN VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK. SO HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE. AND IT WAS GREAT TO SEE COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS THERE WITH HER FAMILY, WHO APPARENTLY ENJOYED THE SHOW MORE THAN THE SHOW. I DON'T KNOW, THE PRE-SHOW WAS NOT PLANNED. IT WAS JUST MADE UP ON THE SPOT. AND COUNCIL MEMBER WHEELOCK TALKED ALREADY ABOUT THE HOLY CROSS HOSPITAL CHAPEL DEDICATION AND BLESSING. SO THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK FOR BEING THERE AND REPRESENTING OUR CITY AT THAT EVENT. THAT WAS IMPORTANT. THAT WAS GOOD. UPCOMING EVENTS IN THE CITY. WE. THE LIST IS GOING TO BE LONGER IN ONE SENSE, BUT SHORTER IN ANOTHER SENSE. BUT ANYWAY, FOOD TRUCKS ARE STILL HAPPENING ON TUESDAY NIGHTS AND THEY GO TILL 8 P.M. CHAIR, ARE WE GOING TO MAKE IT TONIGHT? NO.OH, OKAY. I'LL GO TO THE NEXT ONE THEN. OUR EMERGENCY READINESS CORP, THAT WILL BE JUNE 25TH FROM 7 TO 9 IN THE COMMUNITY ROOM. WE'LL SHARE. CAN WE MAKE THAT ONE? THURSDAY, JUNE 25TH. THAT'S LIKE TWO DAYS. OKAY, IN TWO DAYS FROM NOW. SO HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT TO THOSE.
EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO IT BEFORE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE PREVIOUS ONES TO BENEFIT FOR THE NEXT ONES. NOW, THE GREAT THING IS WESTERN STAMPEDE BEGINS JULY 2ND. IT'LL BE JULY 2ND, THIRD AND FOURTH. AND OF COURSE, WE HAVE A WHOLE LIST OF EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES WILL BE HAPPENING THAT TIME. MAKE SURE YOU GET A HOLD OF YOUR ACTIVITY GUIDE. YOU CAN LOOK AT THAT AND THAT'S GOT THREE PAGES OF THE EVENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING DURING THE WESTERN STAMPEDE. SO I WON'T, LIKE I SAID, I WON'T GO OVER ALL THOSE HERE, BUT MAKE SURE YOU LOOK IT UP OR GO TO WESTERN STAMPEDE.COM AND CHECK OUT THERE. AND IF YOU ARE PURCHASING TICKETS OR HAVE IT PURCHASED YOUR TICKETS YET, MAKE SURE YOU DO IT FROM EITHER OUR WEBSITE OR OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE. MAKE SURE YOU DO IT FROM US. DON'T BUY IT FROM A RESELLER BECAUSE WE CANNOT ASSURE THAT IF YOU BUY IT FROM A RESELLER, THAT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN FRAUDED AND THOSE HAPPEN EVERY YEAR. AND SADLY, THERE'S VERY LITTLE WE CAN DO FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT IT AND GOT TAKEN. AND THE MONEY GOES TO WHO KNOWS WHERE, BUT THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY BUY TICKETS. SO BUY THEM FROM THE SOURCE. YOU'LL BE SAFE THAT WAY. OKAY. AND BECAUSE OF THESE FANTASTIC THINGS HAPPENING, AS WE CELEBRATE THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES INDEPENDENCE, WE WILL HAVE OUR CITY OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED ON JULY 3RD, EVEN THOUGH THE FOURTH IS ACTUAL HOLIDAY. THAT'S THE SATURDAY. AND THEN AFTER ALL THAT'S OVER AND THE
[00:15:01]
DUST SETTLES AND FIREWORKS ARE ALL DONE, THEN WE'LL GO BACK TO NORMAL THINGS. I'LL HAVE MY MAYORS OPEN OFFICE HOURS. WE'LL BE JULY 9TH. SO IF YOU HAVE SOME GREAT THINGS YOU WANT TO COME AND TELL THE MAYOR ABOUT, I'D LOVE TO HEAR THEM. BUT IF YOU HAVE SOME THINGS YOU THOUGHT WEREN'T SO GREAT, I'D LOVE TO HEAR THOSE AS WELL. THAT IS MY REPORT. THANK YOU[c. City Administrator’s Report]
MAYOR. OUR NEXT REPORT WILL BE FROM OUR CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT. I HAVE IT LISTED HERE AS PAUL JEROME GIVING IT, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE CORBIN IS ON DECK. PAUL IS INTENDED TO COVER FOR ME AS I'VE BEEN OUT OF TOWN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE OUT OF TOWN THE REST OF THIS WEEK. THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING THE MOVIES IN THE PARK. THE MAYOR MENTIONED THE FRIDAY NIGHT, THE FUN FRIDAY. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE THE MINI PITCH OPEN. I WANT TO JUST RECOGNIZE COREY FREILICH. WE HAVE THAT MINI PITCH BECAUSE HE SAW AN EXAMPLE, SAW A NEED, FOUND A WAY TO ADD A GREAT RECREATION AMENITY IN OUR COMMUNITY FOR NOT A LOT OF ADDED COST. WE ALREADY HAD THE CONCRETE PAD THERE, AND I'VE DRIVEN BY A FEW TIMES IN THE EVENINGS AND IT'S ALWAYS BEING USED. AND SO THAT'S WE ANTICIPATE THAT THAT WILL BE A WELL LOVED RECREATION AMENITY IN THE FUTURE. SPEAKING OF PARKS, WE ARE WORKING HARD. YOU KNOW, WE'RE IN A STAGE TWO DROUGHT. THAT MEANS WE HAVE TO REDUCE OUR WATER CONSUMPTION BY 10%. WE ARE WORKING HARD ON THAT. THE PARK STAFF ARE DOING A LOT OF BALANCING BETWEEN ESTHETICS AND WATER CONSERVATION, AND WORKING VERY HARD TO REDUCE OUR WATER USE, WHILE ALSO KEEPING THE PARKS USABLE GREEN, ESPECIALLY IN THE RECREATION AREAS OF THE PARK. ALSO, SPEAKING OF PARKS AND RECREATION, AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TURNED IN OUR ZAP AND OUR ZAP, OUR RECREATION BOND PROPOSAL FOR A REC CENTER OUT AT THE ROUNDWOOD PARK AREA. WE ANTICIPATE WE'LL BE GIVING A PRESENTATION TO THE RECREATION BOND BOARD ON JULY 10TH. IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHETHER THEY WILL FORMALLY REQUIRE IN PERSON PRESENTATIONS OF US, BUT WE ANTICIPATE THAT THAT WILL HAPPEN ON JULY 10TH. A LITTLE SNEAK PREVIEW. I HEARD FROM ONE OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT OUR APPLICATION. IT WAS THE VERY BEST. ONE OF ALL THE APPLICATIONS WENT IN THERE. AND THIS IS SOMEONE FROM THE CITY WHO SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION. GET MY HOPES UP. OKAY. LASTLY, ALL ON THE MAYOR. IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN NOW. I KNOW IN THE WEEKLY REPORTS YOU'VE BEEN GETTING SOME UPDATES ABOUT THE MURAL OUT ON 90TH SOUTH NEAR THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE. IT'S COMING ALONG. THE ARTIST BETO HAS BEEN WORKING VERY HARD ON IT, AND IT'S NICE ENHANCEMENT TO OUR COMMUNITY. WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE'S PARTNERSHIP ON THAT.THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND I HAD FAILED TO MENTION THE THE LITTLE MINI PITCH AREAS AS WELL. I WALK MY DOGS AROUND NOON AND I THEY'RE ALMOST ALWAYS IN USE AT THAT TIME DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY AS WELL. A LOT OF THEM I'VE SEEN SOME LIKE FATHERS AND SONS OUT THERE PLAYING SOCCER. SO THAT'S REALLY GREAT TO SEE THAT. THAT'LL END OUR REPORTS AT THIS
[Public Comment]
POINT. NOW GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION OF OF THIS DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS.THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, YOU MAY DO SO AND SPEAK ABOUT ANY TOPIC IN WHICH YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON. YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. WE DO ASK THAT IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK ABOUT ONE OF THE PUBLIC HEARINGS AND WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING THAT, THAT YOU SAY THOSE PUBLIC HEARING COMMENTS FOR THOSE AS THEY COME DOWN. BUT THE FIRST SECTION WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS, PUBLIC COMMENTS CAN BE ABOUT ANYTHING. AS I SAID, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. WE ONLY ASK THAT YOU START WITH YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE AS WE DO THIS. AND I WILL NOW OPEN THIS UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS. IF THERE'S ANY OF YOU WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, THE TIME IS NOW YOURS. WE HAVE A STARE OFF BETWEEN TWO, SO WE'LL JUST SEE WHO'S GOING TO COME UP. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE OUR FIRST APPROACH. ANNE-MARIE BACK AND I WERE BACK THERE ARGUING ABOUT WHO WAS GOING TO FIGHT EACH OTHER TO GET HERE FIRST. SO KELVIN GREEN, WEST JORDAN, THREE QUICK THINGS. IF I CAN GET IT DONE IN THREE MINUTES, THAT'LL BE A MIRACLE. BUT FIRST THING IS JUST A QUICK REPORT FROM THE SOUTH SALT LAKE VALLEY MOSQUITO ABATEMENT DISTRICT. BY THE WAY, THAT TAKES THREE MINUTES TO SAY THAT BY IT'S BY ITSELF. A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT MOSQUITOES IS THE WATER GETS LOWER. THERE'S NOT THAT THERE ARE FEWER MOSQUITOES, BUT THE MOSQUITOES THAT YOU DO GET ARE MORE CONCENTRATED. AND SO THEY CAN BECOME A LOT MORE DANGEROUS. SO IF YOU HAVE STANDING, WHAT JUST TO TELL EVERYBODY, IF YOU'VE GOT STANDING WATER IN YOUR YARD FOR SOME REASON, BECAUSE YOU'RE OVERWATERING YOUR GRASS, IT IT IT'S A CAUSE FOR MOSQUITOES. WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY WEST NILE VIRUS UP UNTIL THE LAST MEETING THAT WE HAD, BUT THERE WERE A COUPLE OF ONES WAY SOUTH IN
[00:20:05]
ARIZONA, SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. THE THE THE BOARD WENT THROUGH AN AUDIT RECENTLY.YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL AUDITS THAT EVERYBODY GOES THROUGH THE THE THE BOARD PASSED THE AUDIT WITH ONE FINDING THE ONE FINDING WAS, IS THAT WE ACTUALLY OVERSPENT THE BUDGET. AND IT'S BECAUSE WE DID A BUDGET AMENDMENT DECEMBER TO REDUCE THE BUDGET AND WE REDUCED IT TOO FAR AND THEN WE OVERSPENT. SO WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO CORRECT THAT.
BUT SO WE DID GET ONE AUDIT FINDING. BUT THE THE DISTRICT IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE. NUMBER TWO, I WANT TO THANK THE MAYOR AND CORBIN FOR HELPING OUT ON SOME PROJECTS. IT'S. IT'S BEEN FUN. I I'M A LITTLE BEHIND ON THE ONE, BUT WE'LL WE'LL GET THERE AND GET THE TRAINING PLANS DONE. AND IT, IT WAS GREAT TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND HELP REPRESENT THE CITY AT COLONEL VASQUEZ'S PROMOTION OUT AT THE AVIATION UNIT HERE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, YOU ALL GOT AN ENVELOPE. WITH THE THE AMERICUS 250 COIN AND AND A PEN. PLEASE WEAR THAT. AND YOU ALSO RECEIVED AN INVITATION. YOU'RE ALL MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME AND TO OUR BLOCK PARTY ON JULY 5TH AS PART OF AMERICA'S POTLUCK, I NOTICED THAT THERE.
THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO OTHERS, THREE OTHERS IN THE CITY GOING ON. AND SO IF WE CAN ENCOURAGE OTHER COMMUNITIES TO OTHER, OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS TO COME TOGETHER. MAYBE WE CAN GET PAST A LITTLE BIT OF THE POLITICAL POLARIZATION THAT WE HAVE IN THE COUNTRY. SO ANYWAY, THAT'S WELL, THAT WAS ACTUALLY THREE MINUTES. THAT'S NOT BAD. AND ALLEN DIDN'T MESS UP THE TIMER.
THANK YOU. NO. AND COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON OWES ME TEN BUCKS BECAUSE YOU GOT IT IN UNDER THREE. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL NOW OPEN THE FLOOR AGAIN TO PROBABLY ANNE MARIE TO COME UP.
SO I'M ANNE MARIE BARRETT, I'M THE MANAGER OF THE BINGHAM CREEK LIBRARY AND A RESIDENT OF DRAPER CITY. I JUST CAME TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE UPDATE ON THE BINGHAM CREEK LIBRARY. YOU PROBABLY ALL HEARD ABOUT SOME OF THE AWESOME IMPROV CLASSES WE'VE HAD. THEY HAVE BEEN SUPER POPULAR AND VERY WELL BELOVED BY OUR ATTENDEES. WE ALSO HAD THE SUMMER READING KICKOFF PARTY JUST AT THE END OF MAY WAS HOSTED AT BINGHAM CREEK LIBRARY. WE ONLY GET TO DO THIS EVERY LIKE 4 OR 5 YEARS, SO IT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL WHEN WE GET TO DO IT. AND WE HAD PROBABLY SOMEWHERE AROUND 700 PEOPLE SHOW UP IN, WHICH IS AMAZING FOR IF YOU'VE BEEN TO OUR BRANCH, THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE FOR JUST A COUPLE HOURS. SO IT WAS VERY WELL ATTENDED.
PEOPLE HAD A GREAT TIME AND SUMMER READING IS OPEN, SO PLEASE COME SIGN UP. IT'S FOR ALL AGES, FROM LITTLE BABIES TO AS LONG AS YOU'RE STILL BREATHING. WE DON'T, WE DON'T DISCRIMINATE. WE WANT EVERYBODY TO HAVE A GREAT TIME WITH SUMMER READING AND IT'S SUPER FUN. WE HAVE SOME GREAT PROGRAMS COMING UP NEXT WEEK. ON JULY 29TH AT 7 P.M. WE HAVE A FAMILY EVE FAMILY FUN NIGHT WHERE PEOPLE CAN MAKE SLAP BRACELETS SO YOU CAN DESIGN YOUR OWN. THESE ARE GOING TO BE SUPER COOL. PRIMO DELUXE. IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME. AND JUNE 30TH, WE ACTUALLY HAVE TWO PROGRAMS. ONE IS AT 2 P.M. IN THE AFTERNOON WHERE PEOPLE CAN DECORATE AND MAKE THEIR OWN PET ROCK. TO CELEBRATE OUR UNEARTHING A STORY THEME OF SUMMER READING. BUT THEN AT 730, WE'RE GOING TO ALSO BE DOING A RED, WHITE AND BLUE JEWELRY EVENT, PROBABLY MORE FOR TEENS AND ADULTS. BUT WE WELCOME ALL AND HOPE THAT PEOPLE COME AND CELEBRATE A LITTLE BIT OF UPCOMING INDEPENDENCE DAY AND THE AMERICA 250 ANNIVERSARY.
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER A LITTLE BIT MORE KID FRIENDLY PROGRAM ON JULY 2ND AT 1030 IN THE MORNING, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING FIREWORK PAINTINGS.
THAT'S GOING TO BE SUPER FUN. WE ARE OPEN ON JULY 3RD BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE CLOSED ON JULY 4TH BECAUSE THE LIBRARY USUALLY IS OPEN ON SATURDAY. SO THAT'S WHEN WE'LL BE OBSERVING AND HAVING INDEPENDENCE DAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR. SO GLAD TO BE PART OF WEST JORDAN.
[00:25:06]
THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES YOU HAVE FOR THE CITIZENS HERE. WE ALWAYS APPRECIATE THAT. AND I DO BELIEVE THAT SUPER COOL PREMIUM DELUXE WAS WHAT WE PUT ON OUR REC CENTER APPLICATION. WHEN WE PUT THAT, THAT'S THOSE ARE THE WORDS THAT GOT US THERE.SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE COUNCIL? AGAIN, THIS IS ON ANY TOPIC TOPIC YOU WOULD LIKE. I'D SEE NONE. I'LL GO TO MR. ANDERSON. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ONLINE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? YEAH, THERE'S THREE PEOPLE ONLINE, TWO OF WHOM HAVE RAISED THEIR HAND. WE HAVE MISS SARAH STEVENS AND MR. RYAN WILKINSON.
OKAY, I BELIEVE THEN WE'LL START WITH MISS SARAH STEVENS. THEN IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SET HER UP AND YOU'LL BE GIVEN THREE MINUTES AND YOU CAN. WE'LL START THE CLOCK WHEN YOU START TALKING. GO AHEAD. I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S AN ECHO. SO IF THERE IS, UNMUTE MYSELF, BUT I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT. WE DON'T NEED TO DO THAT AFTER THIS YEAR. NOW THEN IT WOULD BE MORE FUN.
WHAT I WOULD DO IT SO MUCH MORE GENIUS IN THE PAST THAN I AM. ON THAT NOTE, I'M SORRY I'M LATE, BUT I HEARD THAT THE HOOVER DAM SHUT DOWN, TURNED OFF BECAUSE THERE IS NO MORE WATER COMING TO THE CITY, THAT THERE'S NO MORE WATER TO GO ON TO ARIZONA OR ANY OF THAT. SO AS FAR AS THE SOCIAL CONTRACT IS, THOSE OF US WHO ARE WATERING THE GRASS ARE OUR HEARTS ARE REALLY THANKFUL AT THIS POINT. I DON'T KNOW, LIKE, AT WHAT POINT LIKE, HOW MANY DAYS DO WE AS A STATE HAVE WATER THAT'S GOING TO COME OUT OF OUR TAX? SO TOILET WATER GO FIRST. I'M NOT QUITE SURE BUT THAT YOU ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF REALLY NOT. I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING COMING OUT OF IT. ANYTHING TO MANAGE OUR RESOURCES LIKE WE SHOULD BE SETTING UP. VERY EXCITING. RIGHT NOW. I FEEL LIKE IT'S REALLY HEARTBREAKING. I TRIED TO BLEED AND OUR PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE NOTHING LESS THAN BIBLICAL. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T BELIEVE THAT HUMANS CHANGE THE CLIMATE, I ASK YOU TO ASK YOURSELF HOW WE CAN BE DONE.
WHY IS THAT? BUT AS FAR AS EVERYTHING WE KNOW, EVERY SPECIES THAT HAVE CHANGED THE ENVIRONMENT AND ADAPT TO CHANGES AND ADAPT TO THE ENVIRONMENT. IT'S THE NURTURING GIFT OF COMMON SENSE OF KNOWING OUR ACTIONS HAVE IMPACT. BEING ABLE TO SEE THAT IMPACT AND BEING AFFECTED BY WHAT IT CAUSES. POSITIVE EFFECTS GIVE US THE POWER WE HAVE HERE, AND LET US TAKE GOOD CARE AND RESPECT THE HARMONY THAT'S HERE, OR PUT OUR FAITH IN HUMANS OVER THE PERIOD OF TREATMENT. AND WHAT'S MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN MAN FALLING FOR THE EVIL OF MEN PLAYING EVEN BETTER THAN THE CREATOR? I CAN READ TEN BOOKS. THAT'S A MORAL. WE. AND THEN I'VE SPENT TIME BETTER THAN NATURE. WE FAIL. WE BECAME ONLY INVASIVE, UNNECESSARY SPECIES HERE. BUT EVERYTHING CHANGES THE WORLD JUST BY BEING IN IT. SO WE'RE TRYING TO STEP AWAY, AT LEAST UNTIL THE EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES. SINCE THE TECTONIC PLATES. BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE REMOVED TO NOT HURT YOU. I USED TO THINK THE MOST TRAGIC BOOK IN THE SCRIPTURES WRITTEN ABOUT US WOULD BE THAT THEY SLAUGHTERED THEMSELVES. BUT NOW HE CANNOT DIE IN A LIFETIME.
YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT NOT EVEN GET TO A TIME WHEN WE GET TO WATCH OUR LOVED ONES DIE FROM LACK OF WATER. FINGERS CROSSED. RIGHT. AGAIN, I'M GOING TO BE ON THIS PARADE, BUT IF ONLY I WAS NAMED.
I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WATER IS ONLY LEFT. YOU KNOW, THREE DAYS. WE CAN'T MAKE WATER.
WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT IN THREE DAYS WITHOUT WATER, WE'RE DEAD. THAT'S IT. RIGHT. SO I WOULD LIKE YOU TO KIND OF THINK ABOUT HOW MANY DAYS ON THIS DATE YOU MIGHT HAVE. SOMEONE MIGHT WANT TO RUN THE NUMBERS BECAUSE I CAN DO IT. BUT YOU REALLY DON'T WANT ME KNOWING THAT WITHOUT YOU KNOWING THAT FIRST. I'VE SEEN WE'VE ALL FAILED. AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW THOSE NUMBERS, YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED ENOUGH IN LIFE. YOU'RE NOT PASSIONATE ENOUGH TO BE IN POWER. AND I'M SORRY THAT THIS IS COMING OUT, BUT LIKE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HOOVER DAM DOESN'T HAVE ANY MORE WATER AND YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT. I'M DEEPLY SADDENED, WORRIED, YOU KNOW, AND WE PAID PEOPLE TO POISON OUR WATER, TO TURN OUR AIR TOXIC, TO MAKE DIRT HURT AGAIN. AND I SUSPECT EARTH HAS A WAY OF STOPPING IT. AND I'M SORRY THAT THREE MINUTES ARE UP ON THAT. THAT WAS THE CALL WAS CUT OFF THERE. THAT RESIDENT PRESIDENT ALSO SENT AN EMAIL TO COUNCIL COMMENTS. SO WE HAVE A LOT OF THAT AS WELL THAT WE CAN GO THROUGH. I BELIEVE YOU SAID YOU HAD ONE MORE, MR. WILKINSON. MR. RYAN WILKINSON YES. ALL RIGHT. RYAN, CAN YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK AND YOU CAN BEGIN WHEN YOU'RE READY. OKAY. YOU CAN BEGIN. YEAH. WE'RE GOOD.
GO AHEAD AND BEGIN. OH. GOOD STUFF. YEAH. I DIDN'T PREPARE ANYTHING. I JUST LEFT THE GYM AND REMEMBERED IT WAS TUESDAY NIGHT. I REALLY LIKED SARAH STEPHENS COMMENT. I WAS WORTH WAITING FOR ALL THAT. ALL THE FOOD TRUCK STUFF AND. I KEEP GETTING CUT OFF BEFORE I CAN FINISH MY THOUGHTS. I HAVE SOME NOTES HERE PULLED UP NOW. OH, ABOUT 5 OR 6 WEEKS AGO. ZACH
[00:30:12]
JACOBS RESPONDED TO A COMMENT I MADE. HE WAS EARLY MAY, AND HE MENTIONED THAT I HAD A FIXATION WITH WEST JORDAN, AND IT WAS WEIRD CONSIDERING THAT I DON'T LIVE IN WEST JORDAN. THE REASON WHY I'VE HAD TO COME BACK AND START MAKING COMMENTS IS BECAUSE MR. JACOB SENT ME A CEASE AND DESIST LETTER BACK IN MARCH, AND HE MENTIONED IN THAT FIRST EMAIL TO BE TO BE CLEAR.AND HE SAID THAT I HAD A SEASON TO SIT AND DESIST TALKING ABOUT THE STALKING INJUNCTION THAT HE HAD FILED AGAINST ME. AND I DID A LITTLE LEGAL RESEARCH AND SENT IT TO HIM, AND HE NEVER RESPONDED. AND THEN ABOUT FIVE WEEKS AFTER THAT, HE RESPONDED TO MY COMMENT DURING THE COUNCIL MEETING AND SAID THAT I WAS FREE TO TALK ABOUT THE STALKING INJUNCTION AGAINST HIM.
SO HIS OPINION THERE ON THAT CAME IN, I THINK IT WAS ABOUT SIX WEEKS. PRESUMABLY DUE TO SOME LEGAL RESEARCH I DID, AND CRAMMED DOWN HIS THROAT. SO I'M CURIOUS, DID HE NOT KNOW THAT I WAS FREE TO MENTION STALKING INJUNCTION, OR DID HE KNOW AND TRIED TO SHUT ME DOWN REGARDLESS? NO, I DIDN'T TAKE THE BAIT. I KNOW, I KNOW WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO WAS IT JUST A AN ATTEMPT TO HARASS ME AND SHUT ME DOWN AND RESTRICT MY SPEECH? OR IS HE REALLY IGNORANT? YOU KNOW, IS HE IS HE IGNORANT OR EVIL? I GUESS THOSE ARE THE THE BINARY OPTIONS. AND WITH EVIL ALSO THAT THAT'S AN ILLEGAL ACT TO TRY AND SHUT DOWN SOMEONE'S SPEECH. AS A GOVERNMENT ACTOR. IT'S ALSO A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. IT'S HARASSMENT TO, TO TRY AND DO THAT. AND I'VE MADE A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT. IT'S SO JUST TO GET BACK TO TO THE POINT I WAS MAKING MY MY FIXATION WITH WEST JORDAN, I DON'T HAVE ONE. YOU BROUGHT THIS BACK UP IN MARCH BY SENDING ME THAT EMAIL. THAT'S AN ILLEGAL ACT. I THINK YOU KNOW THAT. NOW. I KNOW YOUR CITY ATTORNEY KNOWS IT NOW BECAUSE I SENT IN THE SAME RESEARCH. NEITHER OF THEM HAVE RESPONDED TO ME. BY THE WAY, EVEN THOUGH I'VE INVITED SOME KIND OF RESPONSE. WELL, THAT'S NOT. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE CLEAR THAT WE HAVE NOT CUT OFF MR. WILKINSON IN SPEAKING HIS TIME RAN UP FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN THE ROOM COULD SEE THE TIMING. WE HAVE NEVER CUT HIM OFF. AT ANY POINT THE TIMER RUNS OUT AND THAT IS SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM WITH BEING REMOTE AND NOT BEING HERE. SO YOU CAN SEE THE TIMER. I WILL OPEN UP. I WILL ASK AGAIN IF THERE'S ANYONE IN THE ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK. AS WE'VE SHOWN, WE TAKE ANY TOPIC. WE'VE HIT FOUR DIFFERENT ONES TONIGHT. MR. ANDERSON, DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE ONLINE WHO HAS DECIDED TO JOIN? THE THREE ARE STILL ONLINE AND THAT NO ONE HAS RAISED THEIR HAND TO SPEAK FURTHER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THEN WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE OUR PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION AT THIS TIME. AGAIN, WE WILL BE HAVING PUBLIC HEARINGS, WHICH WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN NOW, AND WE WILL HAVE SOME PUBLIC COMMENTS DURING THOSE HEARINGS. AT THOSE TIMES, THOUGH, YOU'LL
[a. Resolution No. 26-034 Amending the Property Tax Impact Schedule for Fiscal Year 2027]
ONLY BE ABLE TO SPEAK ON THE TOPICS AT HAND. AS WE START WITH PUBLIC HEARINGS, WE'LL DO ITEM SIX A, WHICH IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 26-034, AMENDING THE PROPERTY TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027. AND WITH THAT, WE WILL HAVE OUR ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR, DENISE STECK. OKAY, COUNCIL. OH, I GET TO USE THIS. TURN IT ON. MAYBE. ON. THANKS.ALRIGHT. COUNCIL RESOLUTION 2634 IS PRESENTED TO YOU TO AMEND THE PROPERTY TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE. PER YOUR DISCUSSION TODAY IN THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. SO THE INTENT IS TO PRESENT AND MAKE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC THE PROPERTY TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE AT EACH PUBLIC HEARING PRIOR TO JUNE 30TH, AT WHICH THE TAXING ENTITY DISCUSSES THE TAXING ENTITIES PROPOSED GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR THE ENSUING FISCAL YEAR PERIOD. SO WE RECEIVED UPDATED NUMBERS FROM THE COUNTY ON JUNE 12TH AND RAPIDLY HAD TO AMEND THE TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE BECAUSE IT WAS BASED ON ESTIMATES THAT WERE PREPARED IN MAY. THIS SLIDE SHOWS YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WAS PROPOSED AND PRESENTED IN THE ORIGINAL IMPACT STATEMENT, AND WHAT IS MOVING FORWARD. IN GREEN, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE PROPOSED REVENUE WITH THE TAX INCREASE
[00:35:03]
AND THE CERTIFIED PROPERTY TAX REVENUE BOTH INCREASED BY THE AMOUNT OF NEW GROWTH THAT WE RECEIVED AS A CITY. THAT'S FROM THE ANNEXATION AREA THAT WAS PLACED INTO THE CITY ON JULY 1ST. THAT'S FOR NEW HOMES THAT WERE BUILT, NEW BUSINESSES, THAT KIND OF THING, NEW INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THOSE BUSINESSES PUT IN THAT THEY PAY PROPERTY TAX ON. WE RECEIVED ABOUT $992,000 OF NEW GROWTH THIS YEAR, WHICH IS MORE THAN OUR AVERAGE. SO ONCE I GET NUMBERS, I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH MORE INFORMATION REGARDING WHAT THAT WHAT MAKES UP THAT NUMBER.BUT THAT WILL TAKE ABOUT 60 DAYS TO LOAD INTO OUR GIS SYSTEM. THAT SAID, OUR PROPERTY TAX IS CURRENTLY 0.001328. THE NEW CERTIFIED TAX RATE THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE COUNTY IS 001281, AND WITH THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE THAT'S PROPOSED, IT WOULD CHANGE TO 001309. THE INCREASE WILL CHANGE FROM 2.26 TO 2.19. BECAUSE WE HAVE BROADENED THE BASE AND THE INCREASE, EVEN THOUGH THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE VALUE INCREASED FROM 549,800 TO 562,200, IT STILL WILL SHOW A DECREASE FROM THE INCREASE. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY $8.96. IT WOULD NOW BE $8.66 TO AN AVERAGE RESIDENCE IN THE CITY ANNUALLY. THAT'S NOT MONTHLY, THAT'S ANNUALLY AND AN INCREASE OF THE BUSINESS OF THAT SAME VALUE OF $15.74. AS WE'VE SPOKEN ABOUT, THE SCHEDULE NEEDS TO INCLUDE ITEMS THAT THE COUNCIL IS WILLING TO GO WITHOUT IF THE PROPERTY INCREASE DOES NOT PASS. THESE ARE ITEMS THAT WE'RE GOING TO RESTRICT SPENDING ON UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1ST, AND YOU MAY AMEND THE SCHEDULE AT ANY TIME AFTER THIS EVENING. AND THE BEST PRACTICE IS TO HAVE THE SCHEDULE IN PLACE PRIOR TO THE PROPERTY TAX NOTICING, WHICH IS GOING TO BE HAPPENING IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. JUST LIKE WE HAD OUR DISCUSSION IN OUR COMMITTEE, THE WHOLE MEETING, AND YOU MADE SOME CHANGES. AND SO WE'VE MADE THOSE CHANGES IN THIS PRESENTATION AS WELL. SO THE ITEMS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED AS ITEMS THAT TO BE DISCUSSED FOR A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE ARE REALLY ATTRIBUTED, AS THE COUNCIL MAJORITY AGREED TO NEW GROWTH. THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO ADD TO THE WEST SIDE OR TO PROVIDE SERVICES BASED ON GROWTH ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY OR IN OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY. THESE WERE PREVIOUSLY ATTRIBUTED TO THE TAX INCREASE. WE ARE NOW GOING TO BE INCLUDING THESE ITEMS IN THE BUDGET THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SPENDING ON JULY 1ST. THEY WILL BE FUNDED WITH ABOUT 55% OF THE NEW GROWTH MONEY. SO TRULY NEW GROWTH PAYING FOR NEW GROWTH. COME ON. HEY THAT WORKS. THE NEXT ITEM IS THAT THE PURPOSE FOR THE TAX INCREASE IS BECAUSE OF INFLATIONARY COST INCREASES. THERE WERE SEVERAL AREAS THAT WE DISCUSSED IN THE WORK SESSION, BUT WE HAVE LANDED ON SPLITTING THE TAX INCREASE BETWEEN TWO ITEMS, THE FIRST BEING THE FUEL COST INCREASE. AS YOU KNOW, FUEL HAS INCREASED TREMENDOUSLY. AND IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS NEXT YEAR, THAT INCREASE WAS A WAS WELL OVER $500,000. IT WAS MORE TOWARDS $700,000 INCREASED FROM WHAT WE'VE SPENT PREVIOUSLY. WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IS DECREASE THE FUEL BUDGET BY $250,000 ACROSS MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS. SO WE HAVE GIVEN YOU AN AMENDED PROPERTY TAX SCHEDULE THAT SHOWS YOU WHICH DEPARTMENTS ARE AFFECTED BY THAT CHANGE, AND THAT WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE RESOLUTION THIS EVENING. THE OTHER $250,209 WILL BE TO REDUCE THE IT COSTS OR HOLD THEM UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1ST. AFTER YOU APPROVE THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE, IT WILL RELEASE THOSE FUNDS TO BE SPENT. THIS IS BASED ON THE INCREASED COST OF TECHNOLOGY AND SPECIFICALLY MEMORY AND SOFTWARE COSTS. SO THAT IS A VERY SMALL PORTION OF THE INFLATIONARY INCREASE THAT WE'VE SEEN IN IT THIS YEAR. SO YOUR AMENDMENT IS TO REMOVE THOSE OTHER ITEMS, INCLUDE THEM IN THE BASELINE BUDGET THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE ON JULY 1ST PAID FOR WITH NEW GROWTH, AND THEN PROPOSED THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE TO BE INFLATIONARY IN BASIS WITH FUEL COST. AND IT COSTS BEING THE THE EXPLANATION FOR THE TAX INCREASE. AND TO RECOGNIZE. IT'S A PHILOSOPHY THAT YOU'VE BEEN USING AS A COUNCIL FOR THE LAST MANY YEARS. THAT SAID, THE TAX INCREASES SHOULD BE SMALL AND ALIGNED WITH INFLATION. AND CURRENT INFLATION IS CURRENTLY AT 4%. SO YOUR TAX INCREASE IS
[00:40:04]
ACTUALLY ONE HALF OF WHAT INFLATION IS OVERALL. AND THAT'S IT FOR THIS. AND THERE SHOULD BE A PUBLIC HEARING OR WE SHOULD FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THIS ITEM. AND THEN YOU CAN CONSIDER THIS RESOLUTION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE'LL OPEN THIS UP TO A PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS.IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE AMENDED PROPERTY TAX IMPACT, THEN YOU CAN YOU CAN STEP UP AGAIN. YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK, AND YOU CAN GIVE US YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCY AT THAT TIME. SO I OPEN IT UP TO ANYONE IN THE ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.
SEEING NONE, I WILL GO TO MR. ANDERSON. THERE ARE TWO PEOPLE ONLINE, NEITHER OF WHOM HAVE RAISED THEIR HAND TO SPEAK. THANK YOU, MR. ANDERSON. ALL RIGHT, THEN, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION FOR ITEM SIX A, AND WE'LL NOW OPEN IT UP TO THE COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSION.
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS STACK OR ANY DISCUSSION TOPICS ON THIS COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK I JUST WANT TO THANK BECKY FOR GETTING THE WORK DONE IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
THANK YOU. YES, AS WAS MENTIONED, WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF THIS DURING OUR WORK SESSION RIGHT BEFORE THIS, AND THERE WAS A LOT OF FRANTIC TYPING AND MISS CANDY HAD TO LEAVE THE ROOM, I THINK, TO MAKE SURE LANGUAGE WASN'T HEARD. SO WE ARE GRATEFUL TO THOSE EFFORTS. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING WE HAVE FROM THE COUNCIL? IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS, THEN I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION ON THIS, SEE IF WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE BY COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. I MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 26-03 FOR AMENDING THE PROPERTY TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027. COUNCIL VICE CHAIR WIDNALL. I'LL SECOND. THANK YOU.
I HAVE A COUNT, A MEMBER, A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON AND A SECOND FROM VICE CHAIR WIGNALL. UNLESS THERE'S ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS, I WILL PUT THIS TO A VOTE AND MISS QUICK. OH NO, I SEE NO ONE. OKAY, CHAIR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WHITELOCK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES. VICE CHAIR. WIGNALL. YES. AND COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. THANK YOU.
I SHOW THAT MOTION PASSES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU. I WILL NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM SIX B. THIS IS THE
[b. Public Hearing on the Tentative Budget for Fiscal Year 2027]
PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TENTATIVE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027. AND AGAIN, WE'LL HAVE MISS DENISE STECK COME UP AND SHE'S THERE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL ONCE ADOPTED THIS EVENING, THIS WILL BECOME THE INTERIM BUDGET. IT WILL BECOME AN OPERATIONAL BUDGET AS OF JULY 1ST. AND THE ITEMS THAT WE JUST DISCUSSED WILL BE HELD AS RESTRICTED UNTIL THE PROPERTY TAX HEARING.BUDGET AMENDMENTS CAN BE MADE AT ANY TIME WITH PROPER NOTICING AND A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS. SO EVEN DURING THE TRUTH AND TAXATION HOLDING PERIOD, YOU MAY STILL AMEND THE BUDGET HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE. IT IS YOUR BUDGET, THE INTERIM BUDGET. WE DO HAVE A FEW CHANGES FROM THE TENTATIVE BUDGET THAT WE'D LIKE TO DISCLOSE. BEFORE YOU RECEIVE COMMENT ON THE TENTATIVE BUDGET. THE TENTATIVE BUDGET HAS BEEN STANDING AND SITTING IN THE RECORDER'S OFFICE AND AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ONLINE FOR MORE THAN THE TEN DAY WAITING PERIOD THAT'S REQUIRED, AS YOU ADOPTED IT AT YOUR LAST MEETING ON JUNE 9TH. SOME AMENDMENTS THERE.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES. THEY ARE NOT COUNCIL CHANGES TO THE BUDGET. THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT WERE CARRIED FORWARD THAT WERE ESTIMATED INCORRECTLY IN 2010, NOT INCORRECTLY. MAYBE THEY JUST MISSED THE MARK WHEN WE SAID ESTIMATES IN 2026. AND THEY'RE GOING TO NEED THAT PROJECT MONEY CARRIED FORWARD TO 2027. AND WE'LL GO OVER THOSE HERE IN JUST A MOMENT. SO IN THE GENERAL FUND, ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES ARE, AS WE DISCUSSED IN YOUR WORK SESSION, WE RECEIVED $5,754 OF ADDITIONAL CERTIFIED TAX REVENUE. THAT'S OUR BASELINE TAX REVENUE. AND IT TYPICALLY HAS TO DO WITH ROUNDING BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST LOOKING AT SUCH BIG NUMBERS. AND THEN THE NEW GROWTH REVENUE WAS $215,225 MORE THAN WE HAD ANTICIPATED.
AND SO WE'RE RECOGNIZING THAT IN THE GENERAL FUND, WE ARE REDUCING THAT EXACT AMOUNT IN THE SALES TAX, FOURTH OF THE FOURTH ESTIMATE AND MOVING IT OVER. YOU'LL SEE IN THE NEXT SLIDE INTO THE CLASS C ROAD FUNDS, THE FOURTH OF THE FOURTH AND THE FIFTH OF THE FIFTH.
SALES TAX COMPONENTS ARE BOTH DEDICATED TO TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS. AND SO MOVING A SMALL PORTION OF WHAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE FOURTH OF THE FOURTH TO THE CLASS C ROAD FUNDS WILL HELP US BEGIN THAT JOURNEY TOWARDS FUNDING OUR PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE PLAN LONG
[00:45:02]
TERM. THOSE ARE THE ONLY CHANGES IN THE GENERAL FUND IN THE CLASS C ROAD FUNDS, JUST LIKE WE SPOKE ABOUT, WE WILL BE RECEIVING THAT SALES TAX INTO THE CLASS C ROAD FUNDS. ON THE CAPITAL PROJECT SIDE, THE CAPITAL. I'M SORRY, COPPER HILLS PARKWAY LANDSCAPING PROJECT. WE JUST NEED TO CARRY FORWARD $200,000. SO UNSPENT MONEY IN FISCAL YEAR 2026, JUST MOVING IT FORWARD INTO 2027, STILL MAINTAINING THE SAME PROJECT BUDGET THAT YOU HAD APPROVED ORIGINALLY WHEN YOU REVIEWED THE PROJECT. IN THE WATER FUND, THERE ARE SEVERAL PROJECTS THAT ARE IN THE SAME BOAT. AGAIN, THESE ARE NOT ASKS FOR ANY NEW MONEY. THEY ARE CARRIED FORWARDS FROM FROM LAST YEAR. SO $3.8 MILLION, WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE ESTIMATES IN 26 AND INCREASE THE BUDGETS IN 27. SAME THING WITH THE SEWER FUND. AGAIN PROJECTS THAT ARE CARRIED FORWARD, JUST NOT ABLE TO FINISH ALL THE WORK IN TIME AND IN THE STORMWATER FUND. THE SAME THING. HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE PROJECT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO REDUCE AND REMOVE AND MOVE IT INTO ANOTHER PROJECT, WHICH IS ON 4800 WEST COPPER HILLS PARKWAY. SO JUST REALLOCATING THAT MONEY A LITTLE BIT. RIGHT NOW, WE ARE AT THE PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE ADOPTION OF THE INTERIM BUDGET. AS I SAID, THE TENTATIVE BUDGET HAS SAT HAS BEEN SITTING AND AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC FOR THE TIME PERIOD REQUIRED. THE CHANGES THAT WE JUST REVIEWED IN THIS MEETING ARE THINGS THAT WE WILL INCLUDE IN THE INTERIM BUDGET, UNLESS THE COUNCIL CHOOSES TO TELL US NOT TO DO SO, AND WE WILL OPEN UP FOR YOU TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING DURING THIS.THE RESOLUTION WILL ALSO SET A PUBLIC HEARING DATE FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET AT AUGUST 11TH. THAT WILL BE YOUR PUBLIC HEARING ON THE BUDGET AND YOUR PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPERTY TAX RATE AS WELL. AND THAT WILL BE THE ADVERTISED DATE ON THE PROPERTY TAX NOTICES. THAT'S IT FOR US. THANKS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. WE WILL NOW OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT. IF THERE'S ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS REGARDING THE TENTATIVE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027, THIS IS YOUR TIME. YOU CAN STEP FORWARD AND SPEAK ON THIS. AS MENTIONED BEFORE, YOU'LL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO TALK ON THIS. WE JUST ASK THAT YOU GIVE US YOUR NAME AND CITY OF RESIDENCE BEFORE SPEAKING. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO. IT IS OPEN FOR YOU TO STEP FORWARD NOW. SEEING NO ONE APPROACHING THE PODIUM, I WILL GO TO MR. ANDERSON AND SEE IF WE HAVE ANYONE ONLINE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS PUBLIC HEARING. THANK YOU. CHAIR. THERE ARE TWO INDIVIDUALS ONLINE, NEITHER OF WHOM HAVE RAISED THEIR HAND TO SPEAK THIS EVENING. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SO WE HAVE HAD THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS. I WILL NOW CLOSE IT, SEEING AS WE'VE HAD NO ONE TO DISCUSS THIS. AND WE'LL NOW OPEN THIS BACK UP TO THE COUNCIL FOR A DISCUSSION OR EVEN POSSIBLE MOTION THAT WE'RE READY FOR THAT. SEEING THAT I HAVE NO ONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS, I'LL JUST OPEN.
MR. ANDERSON POINT OF ORDER ON THIS. IT'S JUST A PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY. I JUST AM LOOKING AT THE SHEETS HERE THAT HAVE ME DOING SOMETHING ELSE. AND LIKE A TRAINED MONKEY, I JUST DO WHAT I'M TOLD, WHICH IS WHY I'LL BE EXITING THIS AFTER THIS MEETING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
THEN THANK YOU TO COUNCILMAN WHITELOCK FOR POINTING THAT OUT. AND WE WILL NOW MOVE ON. THAT WILL CLOSE OUR PUBLIC HEARINGS AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR BUSINESS ITEMS, OF WHICH WE
[a. Ordinance No. 26-32 Amending the Street Lighting Design and Construction Standards, Section 16500]
HAVE SEVERAL. WE'LL START WITH BUSINESS ITEM SEVEN A IT'S ORDINANCE 2632, AMENDING THE STREET LIGHTING DESIGN AND CONSTITUTION STANDARDS. THIS IS FOR SECTION 16500. WE HAVE COREY FREILICH, OUR PUBLIC SERVICES DIRECTOR. YES. GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL CHAIR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. TONIGHT, I'M ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL TO ADOPT THE REVISED STREET LIGHTING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS, SECTION 16 500. SINCE WE LAST UPDATED OUR STANDARDS, WE'VE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED HUNDREDS OF STREET LIGHTS AND HAVE LEARNED WHERE THE OLD LANGUAGE WAS EITHER TOO RIGID OR TOO VAGUE. LED TECHNOLOGY IS ADVANCED, AND WE WANT STANDARDS THAT ARE CLEAR FOR CONTRACTORS, MORE CONSISTENT IN THE FIELD, AND FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO USE CURRENT PRODUCTS WITHOUT CONSTANT REWRITES. THE PROPOSED UPDATES WERE DEVELOPED BY OUR ELECTRICAL TEAM AND ALIGN WITH ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER AND INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICES. HERE ARE THE KEY CHANGES. WE'RE INCREASING THE MINIMUM WIRE SIZE FROM NUMBER 12 TO NUMBER TEN. AWG WIRE. WHAT THAT IS, IT'S BETWEEN THE BASE AND THE POLE FIXTURES. THIS WILL IMPROVE CAPACITY, REDUCES VOLTAGE AND GIVES US A MORE RELIABLE, LONGER LASTING SYSTEM. WE'RE STANDARDIZING CONDUIT PLACEMENT TO ONE FOOT BEHIND THE CURB, CREATES CONSISTENCY ACROSS PROJECTS AND MAKES FUTURE MAINTENANCE MUCH EASIER,[00:50:06]
MUCH EASIER. WE ALSO REMOVED OVERLY PRESCRIPTIVE DOCUMENTATION INTERVALS WHILE STILL REQUIRING ACCURATE AS BUILT RECORDS. ONE OF THE MOST PRACTICAL UPDATES IS MOVING AWAY FROM LISTING SPECIFIC MANUAL MANUFACTURER MODEL NUMBERS AND SKEW NUMBERS FOR POLES AND LUMINAIRES. INSTEAD, WE'RE GOING TO LIST APPROVED MANUFACTURERS AND APPROVED SPECIFIC MODELS THROUGH THE SUBMITTAL PROCESS. PREVENT STANDARDS FROM BECOMING OUTDATED EVERY TIME A PRODUCT LINE CHANGES, AND GIVES US BETTER FLEXIBILITY TO EVALUATE NEW HIGH PERFORMING OPTIONS WHILE MAINTAINING QUALITY CONTROL. THEN WE ALSO MADE SEVERAL QUALITY ORGANIZATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS CONSOLIDATING RELATED REQUIREMENTS, ADDING A REQUIRED SEVEN DAY BURN IN PERIOD BEFORE FINAL ACCEPTANCE, AND REQUIRING CITY APPROVED SECURITY LIDS ON JUNCTION BOXES. THESE CHANGES REDUCE POST INSTALLATION PROBLEMS AND PROTECT THE CITY'S INVESTMENT. TAKEN TOGETHER, THESE REVISIONS WILL DELIVER MORE RELIABLE STREETLIGHTING, FEWER CONSTRUCTION HEADACHES, LOWER LONG TERM MAINTENANCE COSTS, AND STANDARDS THAT CAN ADAPT AS THE TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES. THEY SUPPORT SAFER STREETS AND THE HIGH QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE OUR RESIDENTS EXPECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND SUPPORT AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A QUESTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK. SO YOU MENTIONED IT, BUT AND IT'S PROBABLY JUST BECAUSE I'VE NEVER INSTALLED BOXES, SO I DON'T REALLY KNOW. BUT WE'VE HAD DIFFERENT TYPES OF BOXES TO KEEP UNWANTED PEOPLE OUT. AND WHAT YOU'VE GOT IN HERE IS THE NEWEST THAT'S BEEN WORKING. YEP. THAT HAS BEEN YEAH, WE HAVE HAD 106% SUCCESS RATE WITH EVERYONE WE'VE INSTALLED. WE'VE, WE'VE COME ACROSS ATTEMPTS AT VANDALISM, BUT THEY'VE BEEN PRETTY MUCH VANDALISM. THEY HAVE BEEN VANDAL PROOF. SO WE'VE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT, ALTHOUGH WE'VE SEEN ACTUAL THE NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS AND THEFT KIND OF GOING UP. WE'VE WE'VE STOPPED A LOT MORE. I COULD PROBABLY GET THE NUMBERS, BUT A LOT. EXCELLENT. THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR WIGNALL, CAN YOU GO BACK TO WHERE YOU TALKED ABOUT RECORD KEEPING? YEAH, JUST TOUCH ON THAT A LITTLE BIT. SO THE PROCESS WE'VE HAD IS JUST REALLY BEEN A LOT OF PROCESSES. SO FOR EXAMPLE, A STREET LIGHT WE HAD ON OUR STANDARDS, CERTAIN LUMINAIRES, CERTAIN POLES WITH THE CERTAIN MAKE AND MODEL NUMBER. BUT AS YOU KNOW, WITH THE ADVANCEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY, ANYTHING THEY ADD ONE LITTLE THING TO THAT AND IT'S A NEW PRODUCT NUMBER. AND SO THEN WE'RE HAVING TO WORK WITH THE DEVELOPERS, WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTORS TO APPROVE ANYTHING THAT THEY MAY SEE DIFFERENT OR ASK FOR SUBMITTALS. THIS WAY, WE JUST HAVE ALREADY PRE-APPROVED MANUFACTURERS AND THEY'LL GO THROUGH THE SUBMITTAL PROCESS, THEN A FEW OF THE OTHER HAVING SOME OF THESE, SUCH AS LIKE THE ONE FOOT INSTALLATION ON CURB THAT'S SOLIDIFIED. SO WE DON'T HAVE TO GO AND VERIFY AND ACCEPT EVERY DIFFERENT MEASUREMENT BEHIND A CURVE. SO IT'S JUST REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF STEPS, BUT THEY'RE STILL THE STILL THE SAME REQUIRED ACCOUNTABILITY AND RECORD KEEPING JUST A LOT LESS STEPS. OKAY. I WAS JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE IF SOMEBODY WHO DIDN'T INSTALL IT CAME IN AND READ WHAT THEY DID PRIOR, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED AND THEN AND THEN TAKE THE STEPS NEEDED TO REPAIR OR WHATEVER. OKAY, CORRECT. THAT'S ALL I WANT TO KNOW. THANK YOU. YEAH. MAYOR, YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS? YES. COREY WENT OVER IT PRETTY QUICK, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE MENTIONED IS FOR THE THE SPECS INSTEAD OF IDENTIFYING IS GIVEN SOME SOME VAGUENESS. THE OTHER THING THAT PROVIDES IS IT GIVES OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHER MANUFACTURERS TO COMPETE. BECAUSE SOMETIMES WHEN WE LIST ONE MANUFACTURER WITH THE PART NUMBER, THEY KNOW THAT. AND SOMEHOW THE PRICE INCREASES QUITE A BIT IN FUTURE YEARS.AND THEN WE FIND SOME THAT ARE THE SAME STYLE AND MEETS THE SAME STANDARDS. AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO JUST GO OVER AND PURCHASE THOSE BECAUSE THE SPECS REQUIRED THAT SPECIFIC MANUFACTURER AND PART NUMBER. AND THIS GIVES THEM THE FLEXIBILITY TO FIND IT. AND OUR STAFF HAS BEEN ABLE TO PULL TOGETHER AND LOOK AT THEM AND CHALLENGE US. IF WE COULD FIND THE DIFFERENCE OTHER THAN THE PRICE, AND THE PRICE IS DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A BIG DEAL. THAT WILL HELP OUR ELECTRICIANS OUT A LOT. YES, WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE HIM HELP US WITH THIS. AND AND THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. AS WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO EXPLORE SOLAR OPTIONS OR OTHER HIGH EFFICIENCY AND NEW NEW, WHETHER IT'S NEW SOFTWARE OPTIONS, WE WERE TIED TO WHO WAS LISTED IN IN OUR PREVIOUS STANDARDS. THIS ALLOWS MORE PEOPLE, ALLOWS US TO LOOK AT OTHER MANUFACTURERS THAT PROVIDE THOSE NEW OPTIONS. SO OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON. I'D JUST LIKE TO THANK COREY FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS. I THINK IT'S GOING TO BENEFIT OUR CITY A LOT. I APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU. I'M LUCKY THAT WE HAVE A GREAT ELECTRICIANS HERE. WE'RE ONE OF THE FEW CITIES THAT ACTUALLY HAS A MASTER AND APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM WITHIN OUR CITY. AND SO I'M REALLY LUCKY WITH GREAT STAFF. AND SO I BUT I APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. WE EVEN MAKE OUR MAYOR GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS. SO WE HAVE THE BEST ELECTRICIAN THERE IS AROUND. SO IT HELPS. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. FROEHLICH? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE, ARE
[00:55:05]
THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION NOTES THAT WE NEED TO MAKE ON THIS ORDINANCE? IF NOT, THEN WE'LL SEE IF WE'VE GOT A MOTION TO APPROVE OR NOT APPROVE. COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK, I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 2632, AMENDING THE STREET LIGHTING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS, SECTION 16500 VICE CHAIR WIGNALL. I'LL SECOND. ALL RIGHT ON THIS ONE. I DO HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK AND SECONDED FROM VICE CHAIR WIGNALL. I BELIEVE WE ARE WITHOUT DISCUSSION. NO ONE WANTED TO SPEAK, SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR VOTE WITH MISS QUICK. COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES. CHAIR. BADOR.YES. VICE CHAIR. WIGNALL. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES.
COUNCIL MEMBER. WHITELOCK. YES. THANK YOU. I SHOW THIS. MOTION PASSES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU VERY
[b. Resolution No. 26-020 Establishing the Water and Sewer Rates]
MUCH. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN B. THIS IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 26-020. ESTABLISHING THE WATER AND SERVICE RATES. AND WE'LL BRING BACK BECAUSE WE LOVE HER. DON'T BE STUCK AGAIN.I KNOW I THINK I WANT TO COUNT UP HOW MANY PACKETS WE'VE PREPARED IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS. SO THANK YOU TO BECKY. SHE PUT TOGETHER ALL THE PRESENTATIONS FOR THIS MEETING AND I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. RESOLUTION 2620 DURING YOUR WORK SESSION, WE REVIEWED THE WATER AND SEWER UTILITY RATE PRA LOT OF INFORMATION, AND LET US KNOW. WATER AND SEWER RATES DON'T CHANGE UNTIL OCTOBER 1ST OF EACH YEAR, SO YOU MAY ADOPT THEM THIS EVENING AND THEY BECOME EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1ST OF 2026. BUT THE BUDGET IS IS BASED AROUND THE ASSUMPTION OF THE ADOPTION OF THESE RATES. SO FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S NO CHANGE TO THE BASE CHARGE OR USAGE RATE OF WATER. CURRENTLY, OUR WATER RATES ARE SUFFICIENT TO HOLD UP THAT FUND. WE DID INCREASE THE DEPOSIT FOR A FOUR INCH HYDRANT METER. IT'S A REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT, BUT IT ENSURES THAT IF IF A METER IS NOT RETURNED OR IT IS DAMAGED IN ANY WAY THAT THE CITY IS ABLE TO RECOVER THE COST AND REPLACE THAT METER. WE RECENTLY HAD VANDALISM TO THESE METERS AND THEY'VE BEEN RETURNED BROKEN AND WE IT COSTS A LOT MORE TO REPLACE THEM, SO SHOULD THEY RETURN THEM IN GOOD CONDITION, THEY RECEIVE THEIR DEPOSIT BACK AND SHOULD THEY NOT, WE WILL KEEP THAT DEPOSIT. AND THEN THE ADDITION OF LEAD AND COPPER SERVICE LINE IDENTIFICATION OF $250. BOTH OF THOSE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM MR. DAVENPORT, THE PUBLIC UTILITIES DIRECTOR. AND THEN WE WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND A 5% INCREASE TO THE SEWER RATES OVERALL. SO ALL OF THEM. YOU CAN SEE THAT IF WE INCREASE THE SEWER RATE, THAT THE AVERAGE CUSTOMER UTILITY FEE FOR A SINGLE FAMILY USER WOULD BE $2 A MONTH FROM 39.97 TO 41.97.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE FEES AS THEY WOULD WOULD BE ADOPTED HERE IN A MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THERE IS NO VOLUME CHARGE. AND SO THE INCREASE WOULD BE $1.69 PER UNIT, PER MONTH ON COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL, I'M SORRY, COMMERCIAL SEWER RATE. THE AVERAGE CUSTOMER FEE IS ABOUT $155 A MONTH. AND THIS WOULD CHANGE TO 163, WHICH WOULD BE A CHANGE OF $7.85 A MONTH. AND AN INDUSTRIAL USER WOULD GO FROM $75,000 A MONTH TO $78,800 A MONTH, WHICH WOULD BE A $3,800 A MONTH INCREASE, OR ALMOST $40,000 A YEAR. THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TO PRESENT.
WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER RESOLUTION 2620, ADOPTING THIS WATER AND SEWER RATES AS PROPOSED. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK HAS A QUESTION. PROBABLY MR. DAVENPORT, BUT MAYBE YOU. THE LEAD AND COPPER CHARGE. HOW. HOW IS THAT ASSESSED? WHAT IS. SO THIS IS A FEE THAT COULD BE CHARGED TO AN INDIVIDUAL. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO IDENTIFY THE PUBLIC SIDE OF THE LEAD AND COPPER AND THE PRIVATE SIDE.
THERE IS A NO COST OPTION. IN FACT, IN THE BUDGET, THERE'S A WAY FOR US TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO DO THIS WITHOUT ANY COSTS AND GET A LITTLE BIT BACK FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO I HOPE ARE IN THE RARE MAJORITY WHO DON'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROGRAM, WE'RE REQUIRED TO GO AND TAKE A
[01:00:03]
VACTOR TRUCK OUT AND RIGHT BY THE SIDEWALK AND DIG DOWN TO THEIR LATERAL, AND THEN WE'RE REQUIRED TO PUT IT BACK UP AND MAKE IT LOOK NICE. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET OUR THE MONEY BACK FROM THAT, FROM THOSE PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM WHERE YOU TAKE A PICTURE INSIDE YOUR HOME. OKAY, I HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO USE THAT FEE. I HOPE SO TOO. YEAH. YOU'LL AGREE THERE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MR. DAVENPORT, OR FOR MISS DECK? ALL RIGHT THEN, WITH NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. I'LL SEE IF WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. WHY NOT? I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 26-020. ESTABLISHING THE WATER AND SEWER RATES. SECOND MEMBER LAMB. DITTO. OKAY. I BELIEVE THAT IS A SECOND FROM COUNCILMEMBER LAMB BROUGHT FORWARD BY MYSELF. WITH THAT, I BELIEVE WE'RE READY FOR A VOTE. MISS QUICK, VICE CHAIR. WAGNER.YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES.
COUNCIL MEMBER. WHITELOCK. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES. CHAIR. YES. THANK YOU. I SHOW THAT MOTION PASSES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'RE MOVING ON. LET'S GET TO ITEM
[c. Resolution No. 26-021 Amending the West Jordan City Consolidated Fee Schedule]
SEVEN C. THIS IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 26-021. AMENDING THE WEST JORDAN CITY CONSOLIDATED FEE SCHEDULE. AND SHOCKINGLY DENISE STECK WILL BE PRESENTING. HERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. SO AS PART OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS, WE ADOPT OUR NEW FEES OR ACTUALLY JUST RECOGNIZE THE FEES THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE. MANY OF OUR FEES ARE CONTROLLED BY A LEGISLATIVE PROCESS.WHETHER WE BRING THEM TO YOU FOR ADOPTION THROUGH AN ORDINANCE OR THE STATE MANDATES THEM LIKE AMBULANCE FEES OR COURT FINES. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH CONTROL OVER SOME OF THE FEES, OTHER FEES WE DO HAVE CONTROL OVER. RIGHT. BUT THERE COULD BE A PROCESS LIKE BUSINESS LICENSING OR IMPACT FEE REPORT, ADOPTION THROUGH REPORT OR STUDY FEES THAT WE DO HAVE CONTROLS OVER. WE DO ASK THAT OUR DIRECTORS REVIEW THEM ON AN ANNUAL BASIS OR MORE OFTEN IF NECESSARY, AND BRING THEM TO YOU WITH UPDATED BALANCES BASED ON INFLATION OR CHANGES IN THE ECONOMY OR CHANGES IN THE SERVICE LEVEL. RIGHT. WE MIGHT HAVE BECOME MORE EFFICIENT AT PROVIDING A SPECIFIC SERVICE AND COULD REDUCE THE COST. WHAT WE HAVE PROVIDED TO YOU IS A CONSOLIDATED FEE SCHEDULE WITH RED LINES IN YOUR PACKET THAT YOU HAVE REVIEWED, AND THE BUDGET IS BASED ON THOSE FEES AS THEY ARE PRESENTED TO YOU. HOWEVER, THEY MAY BE CHANGED BY AT ANY POINT BY YOU AS WELL, AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT RESTRICTED BY SOME SORT OF OTHER ORDINANCE.
THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TO AMEND. AND SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM IF I CAN. COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I DO HAVE A COMMENT. MR. FREILICH STILL BACK THERE. I REALLY WOULD LIKE US TO LOOK CLOSE AT OUR CEMETERY FEES. I REALLY FEEL, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE COMMODITY IS DISAPPEARING QUICKLY, YOU YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHARGE MORE. AND I REALLY THINK OUR PLOT FEE IS PRETTY REASONABLE. AND WE NEED TO CONSIDER INCREASING THAT. SO I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT COME TO US.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I BELIEVE WE ARE OPEN THEN FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 26-21. VICE CHAIR, I MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 26-021 AMENDING THE WESTERN CITY CONSOLIDATED FEE SCHEDULE. THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER SHELTON. I SECOND THAT MOTION.
ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM VICE CHAIR AND SECONDED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON. AND I BELIEVE WE ARE READY TO GO TO A VOTE. MISS QUICK, COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB.
YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WHITELOCK. YES. VICE CHAIR. WIGNELL. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES.
CHAIR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. HARRIS. YES. THANK YOU. I SHOW
[d. Resolution No. 26-024 Acknowledging the Intent to Exceed the Certified Tax Levy and Scheduling a Public Hearing Regarding the Proposed Property Tax Increase]
THAT MOTION PASSES 7 TO 0. WE WILL MOVE ON TO SEVEN D, WHICH IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 26-24.ACKNOWLEDGING THE INTENT TO EXCEED THE CERTIFIED TAX LEVY AND SCHEDULING A PUBLIC HEARING
[01:05:01]
REGARDING THE PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX INCREASE. WE'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE WITH MISS DENISE STECK. LOTS OF PROCESSES. ALL RIGHT. SO THIS SLIDE SHOWS YOU THE AVERAGE HOME VALUE IN WEST JORDAN AND HOW IT HAS CHANGED OVER TIME. IT'S KIND OF SHOCKING WHEN YOU THINK, WOW, IN 2015 THE VALUE OF A HOME WAS 40% OF WHAT IT IS TODAY. IT HAS INCREASED OVER 100% DURING THAT TIME PERIOD, WHICH DOESN'T FEEL VERY LONG. OUR PROPERTY TAX RATE DOES THE OPPOSITE, RIGHT? EVERY TIME THAT YOU INCREASE A HOME VALUE, WE GET THE SAME DOLLAR NO MATTER WHAT. SO THE TAX RATE WILL GO DOWN. SO YOU CAN SEE IN 2015 OUR TAX RATE WAS 22.002251. AND NOW OUR TAX RATE IS MUCH LOWER AT THE PROPOSED TAX RATE AT 001309. RIGHT NEXT TO IT IS THE CERTIFIED TAX RATE. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT IS ALMOST 50% OF WHAT IT WAS IN 2015. SO YOU CAN SEE WE'VE MADE SOME CHANGES IF IT WAS LIKE EXACT. AND WE HAD NEVER DONE A TAX INCREASE AT ALL DURING THAT TIME PERIOD, YOU WOULD SEE THAT EXACT SAME CURVE COMING DOWN THAT WENT UP.OOPS. THIS IS A SLIDE OF THE AVERAGE HOME VALUE IS THE LINE. AND THEN THE BAR GRAPH IS THE TAX RATE. AND THEN WHAT THE TAX INCREASES WERE EACH YEAR. SO THAT YOU CAN KIND OF IDENTIFY THEY'VE REALLY BEEN INFLATIONARY. THEY HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN SPECIFIC TO TRYING TO GROW GOVERNMENT SO TO SPEAK. COMPARISON OF THE CHANGES OVERALL. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN 2021 THE HOME VALUE WENT UP 13%. THE TAX RATE WENT DOWN, 6% WENT UP 30% WENT DOWN 17%. SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A NEXUS THERE. IN 2026, THE VALUE WENT UP 2%. AND THE TAX RATE, EVEN WITH THE TAX INCREASE, WILL BE GOING DOWN 1.4%. THE PROPERTY TAX ON AN AVERAGE HOME, YOU CAN SEE LAST YEAR IN THE GRAY THAT AN AVERAGE HOME PAID $402 IN PROPERTY TAX, WHICH WAS A $13 DECREASE FROM 2024. AND IN 2026, IT IF THE CERTIFIED TAX RATE WERE ADOPTED, THEY WOULD BE PAYING $396. SO YOU WOULD SEE A DECREASE OF $6 A YEAR FOR THAT HOME OWNER FOR THE TAX.
PROPERTY TAX, UNDER THE PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX, THEY WOULD BE PAYING $405 A YEAR. SO AN INCREASE OF $3 FOR THE AVERAGE HOME BUYER OR HOME OWNER. SORRY. THE PROPERTY TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE INCLUDES THE PURPOSE OF THE INCREASE. WE'RE ASKING THAT YOU SET THE PUBLIC HEARING DATE AS AUGUST 11TH. THAT IS THE DATE THAT WE'VE BEEN GIVEN AND APPROVED BY THE COUNTY TO HOLD YOUR PUBLIC HEARING. IT'S NOT A DATE THAT WE CAN CHANGE BASED ON THE COUNCIL MAJORITY. THE THE TAX RATE IS SET AT 0.001309 FOR DISCLOSURE TO THE PUBLIC ON THEIR PROPERTY TAX NOTICES, AND THIS RESOLUTION 2624 DECLARES THERE ARE INTENT TO EXCEED THE CERTIFIED TAX RATE TO THE 0.001302. I'M SORRY, 001309, AS WELL AS THE REVENUE THAT WE'RE EXPECTING FROM THAT PROPERTY TAX. AND IT ALSO SETS THE PUBLIC HEARING DATE FOR AUGUST 11TH. I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM. OTHERWISE WE ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER RESOLUTION 2624. THANK YOU. DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS DECK ON THIS? SEE NO QUESTIONS. I WILL THEN OPEN THIS UP FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE COUNCIL MEMBER LAMB. I MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 26-02 FOR. I WILL GO AHEAD AND SECOND THAT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. COUNCIL MEMBER LAMB SECONDED BY MYSELF AND COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR DISCUSSION? YES. COMMENT COMMENT. THANK YOU. I AM GOING TO BE VOTING ON THIS TONIGHT AND I'M GOING TO BE VOTING YES. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IN AUGUST, ON AUGUST 11TH THAT I WILL SAY YES. I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT IT AND MAYBE MAKE A FEW TWEAKS AND THAT MORE PUBLIC WILL COME AND GIVE THEIR OPINIONS OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO I KNOW THERE WAS A LADY AND HER DAUGHTER THAT CAME BECAUSE ANOTHER RESIDENT SAID THAT SHE WAS COMING AND THAT RESIDENT DIDN'T SHOW UP. SO I ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS, IF YOU HAVE OPINIONS ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING, WE DON'T KNOW UNLESS YOU REACH OUT BECAUSE NOT ALL OF US ARE FOLLOWING EVERYONE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. SO IF YOU DON'T COME TO OUR MEETING AND VOICE YOUR OPINIONS, IT'S HARD FOR US TO THEN TAKE YOUR OPINIONS AS PART OF OUR DECISION MAKING. SO
[01:10:06]
PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE OPINIONS, SHARE THEM WITH US. THANK YOU. WE CAN ALSO POINT OUT THAT WE CAN BE REACHED THROUGH OUR COUNCIL COMMENTS EMAIL, AND THAT CAN BE FOUND THROUGH OUR CITY WEBSITE. IF YOU WANT TO APPROACH US AND ARE AFRAID TO BE IN A PUBLIC SETTING, I KNOW SOME PEOPLE REALLY DON'T LIKE SPEAKING IN PUBLIC. THE EMAIL CAN BE A GREAT WAY. SO PLEASE, IF YOU'RE LISTENING TO THIS AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ANYTHING KNOWN, YOU CAN CERTAINLY LET US KNOW THROUGH OUR COUNCIL COMMENTS. EMAIL. ALL RIGHT. I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE READY FOR A VOTE MISS QUICK. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES. CHAIR. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. SHELTON. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. HARRIS. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. WHITELOCK. YES. AND VICE CHAIR. WAGNER. YES. THANK YOU. I SHOW THAT MOTION PASSES 7 TO 0. THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING[e. Resolution No. 26-025 Amending the Tentative Budget and Adopting the Interim Budget for FY 2027, and Scheduling a Public Hearing Before Adoption of the Annual Budget]
TO MOVE ON TO ITEM SEVEN E. NOW THAT IS GOING TO BE RESOLUTION NUMBER 26025. AMENDING THE TENTATIVE BUDGET AND ADOPTING THE INTERIM BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027 AND SCHEDULING A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE ADOPTION OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET. ONCE AGAIN, MISS DENISE STECK, OUR ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR, KIND OF WANT A SPARKLER OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE WE'RE AT THE BOTTOM. WE'RE I'M ON THE HOME STRETCH TO AUGUST. SO TONIGHT WE HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU AND PRESENTED TO YOU DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING SECTION AND FULL DISCLOSURE TO THE PUBLIC THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE AMENDING THE TENTATIVE BUDGET AND ADOPTING THE INTERIM THIS EVENING, WHICH WILL INCLUDE YOUR PROPERTY TAX INCREASE AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES WHICH WE PROPOSED TONIGHT. SO WE'VE GONE THROUGH THESE SLIDES ALREADY. WE'VE EXPLAINED TO YOU WHAT THOSE CHANGES ARE. THERE'S NOTHING NEW TO THEM. WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU ADOPT THE INTERIM BUDGET. SO WE HAVE AN OPERATING BUDGET FOR JULY 1ST. AGAIN, WE WILL RESTRICT ANY ANY OPERATIONS THAT ARE RELATED TO THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE. AND WE WILL RESTRICT THAT REVENUE AS WELL UNTIL YOU HAVE THAT HEARING. BUT WE HAVE INCLUDED EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE COUNCIL MAJORITY AND ADDED SOME ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES. AND APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AS WE'VE DONE. SO IT'S REALLY HARD TO PREPARE A BUDGET IN JANUARY THAT YOU KNOW, IS GOING TO BE FOR THE NEXT 18 MONTHS, BUT WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH THE OTHER DIRECTORS AND AND PRESENTED TO YOU A BUDGET THAT WE BELIEVE WILL PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICES FOR THE CITY ON YOUR BEHALF. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS STACK AT THIS TIME? SEEING NO QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED WILL THEN LOOK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 26-25. VICE CHAIR A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 26-025.

[f. Resolution No. 26-030 and Ordinance No. 26-33 Amendments to Council Policies and Procedures and City Code for Advice and Consent]
MOVE ON NOW TO ITEM SEVEN. F, THIS IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 26, 0-030 AND ORDINANCE NUMBER 26-33. AMENDMENTS TO THE COUNCIL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND CITY CODE FOR ADVICE AND CONSENT. LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT MR. BOYCE TAKING OVER MISS DECK. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO JUMP IN AT ANY MOMENT, YOU CAN. CERTAINLY CAN. I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO CEDE MY TIME TO DENISE. SHE'S BEEN DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB. EVERYTHING'S BEEN RUNNING SO SMOOTHLY. YEAH, IT'S A SHAME THAT I HAVE TO COME UP AND DISRUPT. SO, COUNCIL. GOOD EVENING. THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF A COUPLE OF DISCUSSIONS THAT HAVE BEEN HELD. IT'S A IT'S A FAIRLY LARGE ITEM IN YOUR PACKET. IT TOUCHES ON NOT JUST COUNCIL RULES, BUT ALSO A COUPLE TITLES IN THE CITY CODE.THERE'S DIFFERENT MEETINGS THAT WE'RE KIND OF COMBINING IN THIS ONE AS WELL, FROM DIFFERENT DISCUSSIONS THAT WERE HELD REGARDING COUNCIL RULES AND POLICIES THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO BE IMPLEMENTED. SO WE TALKED ABOUT NOT JUST THE CONSENT ADVICE AND CONSENT FOR MAYORAL
[01:15:08]
APPOINTMENTS, BUT WE TALKED ABOUT SIGNING OF DOCUMENTS. THERE'S SOME CLEANUP WITH REFERENCES IN HERE THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT ATTENDING REMOTELY. HOW MUCH NOTICE NEEDS TO BE GIVEN, EMERGENCY CIRCUMSTANCES AND THINGS. I THINK BETWEEN MR. ANDERSON AND I, WE PROBABLY LISTENED TO THOSE MEETINGS AT LEAST HALF A DOZEN TIMES TO TO TRY AND GRASP EVERYTHING THAT THE COUNCIL WAS LOOKING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THESE CHANGES. SO HOPEFULLY WE INCLUDED EVERYTHING THAT YOU WERE HOPING TO SEE IN HERE, BUT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. IF YOU'VE GOT ANYTHING IN HERE, I WILL JUST ADD THERE'S. BECAUSE THERE'S REVISIONS TO THE COUNCIL RULES, THERE'S A RESOLUTION, AND BECAUSE THERE'S REVISIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO CITY CODE, THERE'S AN ORDINANCE.SO IT TOUCHES ON THE SAME TOPICS. BUT BUT THIS DOES HAVE ESSENTIALLY TWO ACTIONS THAT WILL NEED TO BE TAKEN TO EFFECTUATE ALL THE CHANGES THAT YOU WANTED TO SEE. SO WE WILL BE VOTING ON THOSE SEPARATELY. JUST TO MAKE NOTE OF THAT. FIRST OF ALL, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. BOYCE AT ALL? SEEING NO QUESTIONS. LOOK AT THAT. YOU'VE DONE JUST AS GOOD A JOB. I COULD AS WELL. YEAH. YOU YOU. SHE WALKS SO YOU COULD RUN. ALL RIGHT. LET'S START THEN WITH. I'LL BE LOOKING FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE FIRST RESOLUTION 26-30. THIS IS AMENDMENTS TO THE COUNCIL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR ADVICE AND CONSENT. I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 26-030. AMENDMENTS TO COUNCIL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. THANK YOU, COUNSELOR WHITLOCK AND VICE CHAIR. I'LL SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK AND SECONDED FROM VICE CHAIR ALL. THEN WE HAVE ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THIS, SO WE'LL GO TO MISS QUICK FOR A VOTE.

[g. Resolution No. 26-033 Formalizing the Appointment of Council Leadership Positions (Chair, Vice-Chair, and Past Chair) for the Period of July - December 2026]
G, OUR LAST OF OUR BUSINESS ITEMS. THIS IS RESOLUTION NUMBER 26-033. FORMALIZING THE APPOINTMENT OF COUNCIL LEADERSHIP POSITIONS. CHAIR, VICE CHAIR AND PAST CHAIR FOR A PERIOD OF JULY THROUGH DECEMBER OF 2026. MR. ANDERSON, THANK YOU. IT DOES SAY DENISE STACK, BUT I THINK SHE'S HAD ENOUGH. WELL, NO, WE NEED TO BRING HER UP THEN. IT'S IT'S REALLY IT SHOULD BE ME. THE HEART WANTS WHAT THE HEART WANTS. NO. SO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THE COUNCIL ADOPTED A ROTATION SCHEDULE FOR THE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR. JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THAT. AND SO FOR THIS YEAR, COUNCIL MEMBER, COUNCIL CHAIR BADER HAS BEEN CHAIRING FROM JANUARY TILL NEXT WEEK'S MEETING. COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE AND COUNCIL MEMBER WIDNALL HAS BEEN THE VICE CHAIR. SO WE WILL ROTATE WHERE IN JULY? ON JULY 1ST, COUNCIL MEMBER WAGNER WILL BECOME THE CHAIR AND IF WE STAYED WITH THE ROTATION, IT WOULD ACTUALLY BE COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB WHO WOULD BE THE VICE CHAIR. HOWEVER, THE INTENT WAS TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAD A TURN TO BE CHAIR WHILE THEY'RE IN OFFICE. AND SO COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB AND COUNCIL MEMBER SHELTON HAVE AGREED TO KIND OF SWAP, WHICH IS WHAT YOU'LL FIND IN ATTACHMENT A. SO WHAT IS BEFORE YOU IS A RESOLUTION TO APPOINT COUNCIL MEMBER WIDNALL AS THE[01:20:03]
CHAIR FROM JULY 1ST TO DECEMBER 31ST, AND COUNCIL MEMBER KENT SHELTON AS THE VICE CHAIR. AND IF YOU LOOK AT ATTACHMENT A ON THE ROTATION, YOU'LL SEE THAT DISTRICT THREE AND FOUR HAVE SWITCHED. AND I'VE ALREADY HAD ONE QUESTION IN THAT. DISTRICT THREE WOULD BECOME CHAIR WITH THIS MODIFICATION IN JANUARY 2028, AND THAT IS WHEN FOUR DISTRICT MEMBERS ARE UP FOR ELECTION. SO THERE'S A POTENTIAL THAT IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT. AND WHEN WE DEVELOP THIS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, THE PRIOR COUNCIL POLICY ANALYST AND I WENT THROUGH AN EXERCISE TO SEE HOW OFTEN THAT WOULD HAPPEN AND HOW WE WOULD SOLVE IT. AND IT'S ACTUALLY LISTED AT THE VERY BOTTOM. IT SAYS IF THE CHAIR IS NEWLY ELECTED, THEY SWAP WITH THE ALTERNATE SEAT HOLDER IN THE SAME SEMESTER OF THE FOLLOWING YEAR. THAT SOUNDS COMPLICATED, BUT WHAT THAT DOES IS BASICALLY IN 20TH JANUARY OF 2028, IF DISTRICT THREE HAS A NEW REPRESENTATIVE AT LARGE SEAT A, WHICH WOULD BE COUNCIL MEMBER WHITELOCK WOULD ROTATE INTO CHAIR AND WHOEVER THE NEW DISTRICT THREE IN THIS EXTREME EXAMPLE WOULD. CHAIR IN JANUARY OF 2029. SO WE ALREADY HAVE A PROVISION WHERE AN EXPERIENCED PERSON TO BE. CHAIR. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT FOR TONIGHT. WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING IS THE TWO THAT I MENTIONED AS CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR, COUNCIL MEMBER, MIDORI, YOU WOULD BE THE PAST CHAIR. THERE WILL BE IN JANUARY OR JULY, THERE WILL BE KIND OF SOME NEW SEATS WHERE EVERYBODY IS. AND THEN WE'LL WAIT TILL 2028 AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS THEN.BUT WE'VE GOT PROVISIONS IN PLACE, I BELIEVE. I BELIEVE WHEN WE WORKED THIS AT THERE'S THREE OCCURRENCES BETWEEN NOW AND 2038, WHERE THERE'S A POTENTIAL FOR A NEWLY ELECTED TO BECOME CHAIR. BUT THE REST OF THE TIME IT'LL BE SOMEBODY WITH AT LEAST SIX MONTHS EXPERIENCE. GREAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING THAT FOR US, MR. ANDERSON, DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS THAT WE'D LIKE TO MAKE FOR MR. ANDERSON? COUNCIL MEMBER LAMB, I JUST HAVE A COMMENT ABOUT THIS. LAST YEAR, I HAD BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT THAT IT'S HARD WHEN NEW PEOPLE JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN NEW PEOPLE COME INTO THE CITY COUNCIL AND THEY'RE THROWN INTO A LEADERSHIP POSITION RIGHT AWAY. AND I PROPOSE THAT WE MOVE THINGS AROUND TO GIVE THE NEW PEOPLE, WHOEVER WAS GOING TO BE THAT A SIX MONTH REPRIEVE, WHICH WOULDN'T HAVE REALLY HURT ANYBODY. AND I WAS BASICALLY TOLD, LET'S JUST KEEP IT IN ORDER. SO NOW TODAY I'M ASKING, NOW I'M BEING ASKED TO TAKE IT OUT OF ORDER. AND I'M THINKING TO MYSELF, WELL, WHY WAS MY PROPOSAL NOT GOOD? BUT THIS ONE IS NOTHING AGAINST KENT DOING. I THINK HE'LL DO A GREAT JOB, BUT THIS DOES TAKE IT OUT OF ORDER THAT WE HAD ALREADY PLANNED. IRONICALLY, IF WE WOULD HAVE GONE THE PROPOSAL I HAD, KENT WOULD HAVE BEEN A CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR NEXT YEAR ANYWAY, SO I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM MAKING THE SWAP, BUT JUST KNOW THAT THIS KIND OF TAKES IT OUT OF ORDER NOW. NOW WE'RE DOING THREE AND FOUR, FOUR AND THREE. YEAH. SO IT'S JUST I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT FRUSTRATED THAT MY PROPOSAL WAS NOT GOOD. BUT THIS ONE IS AND WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH IT.
SO JUST WANT TO PUT MY $0.02. YOU DON'T NEED TO RESPOND TO ME. BUT I JUST THAT'S HOW I FEEL TONIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WELL THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS? THEN I WILL LOOK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE OF OUR RESOLUTION 26-33. AS THE ONE GOING OUT, I MIGHT AS WELL JUST APPROVE IT. RESOLUTION APPROVED. MOTION. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 26-033. FORMALIZING THE APPOINTMENT OF COUNCIL LEADERSHIP POSITIONS. CHAIR, VICE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY THROUGH DECEMBER OF 2026. VICE CHAIR ALL. AND AS THE PERSON MOVING TO CHAIR, I. SECOND MOVING OR KICKING ME OUT ONE OF THE TWO. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'VE GOT A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM MYSELF AND SECONDED BY INCOMING CHAIR. NOW, VICE CHAIR WIGNALL, ANY MORE DISCUSSION ON THIS THEN WE WILL LOOK FOR A VOTE. MISS QUICK CHAIR. YES, COUNCIL MEMBER. JACOB. YES.
COUNCILMEMBER SCHULTZ? YES. VICE CHAIR. WAGNER. YES. COUNCIL MEMBER. LAMB. YES.

WE HAVE ABOUT 5 TO 7 RETURNING MEMBERS WHO HAVE NOT FINISHED THE APPLICATION QUITE YET THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE REACHING OUT TO IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO, BUT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP APPLICATIONS OPEN THROUGH AUGUST, AND WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO REVAMP OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE TO MAKE SURE OUR THE WORD ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING, WHAT THE COUNCIL IS DOING, THE YOUTH COUNCIL IS ABLE TO GET OUT THERE SO MORE PEOPLE CAN BECOME INVOLVED AND UNDERSTAND AND KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE YOUTH COUNCIL? NO. JUST ALWAYS EXCITED TO SEE OUR OUR YOUTH COUNCIL ACTIVELY ENGAGED. SO WE APPRECIATE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO YOU LEADING THAT FROM YOUR POSITION.

OUR CONSENT ITEMS. THIS IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO BE APPROVING THE MEETING MINUTES FROM JUNE 9TH, 2026. THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE AND JUNE 9TH, 2026 REGARDING CITY COUNCIL MEETING. MOVE TO APPROVE AND I WILL. SECOND. SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE FROM COUNCILMEMBER WHITELOCK AND SECONDED FROM MYSELF, I REALLY DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS. SO ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I. AND ON THAT SEE NO FURTHER BUSINESS. I WILL ADJOURN THIS MEETING. THANK YOU. YOU'RE GOOD. GOOD EVENING. WE WILL OPEN OUR FAIRWAY ESTATES SPECIAL SERVICES RECREATION DISTRICT MEETING FOR JUNE 23RD, 2026. WE HAVE ALL MEMBERS OF COUNCIL PRESENT, THOUGH. WE HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER JACOB REMOTE, AND WE WILL BEGIN WITH ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE REGARDING THE FAIRWAY ESTATES SPECIAL SERVICES RECREATION DISTRICT MEETING AT THIS TIME. DO I HAVE ANYONE IN THE ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE TO TALK ON THIS, OR ANYONE IN THE ROOM EVEN KNOWS WHERE THAT IS? I DO, BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT UP MY STREET. MR. HENDERSON, DO I HAVE ANYONE ONLINE WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS? THERE IS NO ONE ONLINE, SO THERE'S NO ONE WHO RAISED THEIR HAND. WELL THAT'S HURTFUL. ALL RIGHT THEN, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS, AND WE WILL MOVE THEN TO THE PUBLIC HEARING SECTION OF THIS. AND THIS IS WITH REGARDING RESOLUTION NUMBER 31, AMENDING THE PROPERTY TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2027. AND WITH THAT, WE HAVE MISS BECKY CANDY, OUR BUDGET ANALYST HELLO, BOARD, JUST AS WE AMENDED THE PROPERTY TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE FOR THE CITY, WE ALSO NEED TO DO THAT FOR THE FAIRWAY ESTATES DISTRICT. AND SO WE ARE PRESENTING THIS TONIGHT WITH THE UPDATED INFORMATION ON THE CERTIFIED PROPERTY TAX THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTY ON JUNE 12TH. YOU CAN SEE HERE WHAT WE HAD ORIGINALLY IN THAT IMPACT SCHEDULE ON THE LEFT. AND THEN THE NEW NUMBERS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTY. IT'S A DIFFERENCE OF $17. AND SO WE HAVE THE IN THE CERTIFIED PROPERTY TAX REVENUE AT 12,278, WHICH WOULD BE AN INCREASE OF 1209. YOU CAN SEE THERE THE CURRENT PROPERTY TAX RATE THAT THEY WERE CHARGED IN THEIR LAST PROPERTY BILL, PROPERTY TAX[01:30:03]
BILL. AND THEN THE CERTIFIED TAX RATE IS THE 000809 AND IS PROPOSED THAT THE INCREASE WOULD TAKE THAT TO 000889, WHICH IS AN INCREASE OF 9.89%, RATHER THAN THE 10% THAT WE WERE PROPOSING ORIGINALLY. AND YOU CAN SEE THE IMPACT TO THE RESIDENTS. THAT IT WOULD BE A $23 AND 62 CENT INCREASE FOR AN AVERAGE VALUE HOME IN THAT AREA. THIS SECTION OF THE IMPACT SCHEDULE IS NOT CHANGING BECAUSE WE ARE NOT TYING THAT IMPACT, THAT INCREASE TO A SPECIFIC LINE ITEM. IF FOR SOME REASON THE TAX INCREASE DOES NOT PASS, WE WILL USE FUND BALANCE RESERVES TO COVER ANY ANY DIFFERENCES. THAT SAID, ALLOW YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AND HEAR FROM ANY RESIDENTS ON THE ISSUE, AND THEN ADOPT THE RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE PROPERTY TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE. THANK YOU. WE WILL NOW OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THIS, WE CAN DO THAT. YOU WILL HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK. I'M VAMPING FOR TIME. AS PEOPLE KNOW NO ONE'S EVEN HERE, SO WE WILL. EMERY, DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK ON THE FAIRWAY ESTATES? MAYBE GET THEM TO COME TO THE LIBRARY? MR. ANDERSON, HAVE WE HAD ANYONE JOIN? NO. ALL RIGHT THEN. WITH THAT, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION ON THIS PUBLIC HEARING AND OPEN IT UP FOR ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE COUNCIL, IF THERE'S ANY, REGARDING RESOLUTION NUMBER 31. SEEING NO ONE DESIROUS TO SPEAK, I WILL OPEN THIS UP FOR A MOTION ON RESOLUTION NUMBER 31. I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER 31, AMENDING THE PROPERTY TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027.VICE CHAIR WIGNALL.

THIS IS JUST COMPLETING THE PROCESS OF AMENDING THE INTERIM BUDGET TO MATCH THE CERTIFIED TAX THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTY ON JUNE 12TH. THIS AMENDMENT IS VERY SIMPLE. WE'RE ONLY TAKING THE THE DIFFERENCE FROM THE PROPERTY TAX INCREASE LINE TO THE PROPERTY TAX LINE. ALL OF THE REST OF THE INFORMATION IN THE BUDGET REMAINS THE SAME, GIVING US AN ENDING RESERVE BALANCE BUDGETED FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027 AT 24,000 977.
