Okay. Thank you. I'd like to call to
order the Alpine City Council meeting
[0:07]

I'm sorry, August 25th, 2026.
[0:15]
[laughter]
Excuse me.
[0:17]
We will start with a roll call starting
from Councilman Young and then a prayer
[0:23]
led by Councilman Young and a pledge um
I'm [clears throat] sorry, prayer
[0:28]
offered by Councilman Young and a pledge
offered by or led by um Councilwoman
[0:33]
Sarah Blackwell.
Okay, roll call.
[0:37]
» I'll substitute for Councilman Young and
say the prayer.
[0:40]
» Okay.
>> Bren Remler, present.
[0:42]
» Sarah Blackwell, present.
>> Chrissy Henman, present.
[0:46]
Okay,
so we have two that are not present.
[0:50]
Andrew Young and Jessica Smeuan. We will
move to a prayer offered by Councilwoman
[0:56]
Haniman.
[1:00]
Our dear kind heavenly father, we're
grateful for this beautiful evening that
[1:03]
we could gather as a community and
discuss important things to each of us
[1:07]
and to the public at large. We're
grateful for those who serve, grateful
[1:12]
for the uh time and interest. We're
grateful for a successful alpine days
[1:17]
that no harm or fire. We're grateful for
the extra rain we've received and uh the
[1:24]
accompanying rainbows and bless that
everyone will um learn and listen well
[1:32]
tonight. And we say these things Christ.
Amen.
[1:34]
» Amen.
>> Please rise and join me in the pledge of
[1:37]
allegiance.
>> Ready? Begin. I pledge algiance to the
[1:42]
flag of the United States of America and
to the republic for which it stands. One
[1:50]
nation under God, indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all.
[1:58]
» Okay, let's move on to the consent
calendar.
[2:05]
» Are there any questions uh for the items
on the consent calendar?
[2:09]
Just one quick one and that is uh um in
the future what what would really help
[2:15]
is if we can get just a couple
comparisons because I mean I'm no expert
[2:19]
in uh lawnmowers. Just a couple
comparison. Look, there's a big tier,
[2:23]
there's a little mil tier, there's a
used one, there's a notused one. Um and
[2:27]
maybe just some cost estimates because I
mean I don't know how uh the rest of the
[2:30]
council is arriving at where they feel
comfortable with the decisions on these.
[2:35]
Uh so any sort of comparison will help.
The other thing that'll help is when uh
[2:40]
we have like a $68,000 lawnmower come
up, just what fund it's coming from, how
[2:46]
much we've got in there, and then we can
kind of identify, okay, we're here. This
[2:50]
is a big expense, it's a small expense.
Just those that that's the only uh
[2:54]
» and that information is all outlined in
the budget as far as where it's coming
[2:58]
from. It's it was part of the budget
that was approved,
[3:01]
» right? I know that it what what I what I
don't know is how much is in there and
[3:07]
like how big of a dent this makes that
that's all just just because of those
[3:10]
uncertainties. It makes it hard to uh
and we want to be there. We know you
[3:13]
know that information. It's just helpful
for us. That's all. Thank you.
[3:16]
» Yeah. And then I can report that the
used park equipment that we sold on
[3:21]
public surplus ended up bringing in
about 21,000.
[3:25]
So it'll offset some of this cost as
well.
[3:30]
» Okay. Oh, wait. Last. Is this Is this
new used? I don't I don't know.
[3:33]
» This is new.
>> Okay.
[3:37]
» Okay. Well, yeah, it's Especially when
it's something that's going to be used
[3:41]
every day during the season,
>> right?
[3:42]
» I don't think we want to deal with
>> No, it's just the most expensive lawn
[3:46]
mower I've ever seen. That's [laughter]
>> Well, you're not
[3:51]
I just I can't handle it. That's
>> the one it's replacing, if we bought the
[3:55]
same model, would be probably 150,000.
Wow. Lawnmowers went up.
[4:01]
» It's a bigger one.
>> Okay. Well, just as I get clarification
[4:04]
on those things, I'll be more in
supportive. Until I can, I can't make
[4:07]
those decisions on such a big cost. So,
>> so with that being said, I'll entertain
[4:11]
a motion.
>> I'm to approve the consent calendar as
[4:15]
noted.
>> Is there a second? Okay. It's been moved
[4:18]
by Councilman um Rmler, seconded by
Councilwoman Haniman. Um let's proceed
[4:22]
with the roll call vote starting from
Councilman Young.
[4:25]
» Uh Andrew Young, no.
>> Chris, yes. No.
[4:28]
» Oh. Oh, sorry.
>> I'm sorry. Brent, can you
[4:32]
» Brent Rumler? Yes.
>> Sarah Blackwell. Yes.
[4:35]
» Chris Anamman. Yes.
>> Okay. Motion passes. Let's move forward
[4:40]
with public comment.
We will start with Julie Scott,
[4:47]
followed by Isabelle Squires.
[4:55]
» How long would you like these comments
to be, Mayor? Uh, let's see. Probably
[4:59]
two minutes. We've got a lot on the
>> state's
[5:12]
» on the base on the microphone. Yeah.
>> No, it doesn't.
[5:20]
» Oh, it's on the back.
>> Ah, wonderful. Thank you.
[5:25]
» All right. I'm I'm here for to talk
about the stop putting in the stop signs
[5:30]
up on Grove Drive and Alpine Boulevard.
Um,
[5:36]
did I say that right?
>> Yes. Anyway, [snorts] I we've my parents
[5:40]
have lived here almost 50 years and um I
was here for my high school years and
[5:47]
and at that time Grove Drive ended just
a little bit above. But now there's so
[5:52]
many houses up there and so many people.
It's become a thoroughfare. I mean,
[5:56]
that's the way to get out of Alpine. And
so, there's so much more traffic coming
[6:01]
down that road. And I noticed that there
are only two spots on Grove Drive coming
[6:07]
down where there's a cross, like a
four-way cross, and that's one of them.
[6:12]
The other one's down here on the main
area. So, I really think that it is a
[6:18]
good proposal to to put in a four-way
stop, put in the sidewalks, um put in
[6:24]
crosswalks. I know as since I've been
here the last three years have helping
[6:28]
my parents, I have seen children walking
and biking and and adults too um on that
[6:36]
road and crossing the road. And I know
our ward is on both sides. So, these
[6:41]
kids have friends on both sides and
they're crossing that. I think it's
[6:44]
really important and I'm voting for it.
Thank you.
[6:48]
» Would you say your name again? I missed.
>> I'm Julie Scott.
[6:52]
» What street do you live?
>> Um, and I live on Moy Drive. So, we come
[6:55]
off Moy Drive and go right up there and
and take either one either go straight
[7:00]
and down or go down Grove Drive. So,
that's that's a road that we go down a
[7:04]
lot.
>> Thank you very much.
[7:06]
» So, thank you.
>> Isabelle Squires followed by Elizabeth
[7:09]
Wilson.
[7:14]
Hello, my name is Isabelle Squires from
999 Grove Drive. Um, I am a part of
[7:20]
Mountainville's Mountainville Academy
student council. When I found out that
[7:23]
you were not letting us park at the
park, I was sad because I love going to
[7:26]
the park to hang out with my friends and
play on the playground while I wait for
[7:29]
my mom to pick me up. If you're worried
about safety, the park is the safest
[7:33]
place to go. It's a big open space, so
it's easier to find your parents' car.
[7:37]
You can see almost any car anywhere in
the park. And if you're on the grass,
[7:41]
you are safe from any vehicle like cars
or bikes. On rainy days, it's nice to be
[7:44]
able to go into the gazebo or or into
the pavilion to be sheltered from the
[7:48]
rain. At our school, we focus on the
seven habits. Think win-win is one of
[7:52]
them. To think win-win is when two or
more people have different ideas and
[7:56]
they combine them so everyone gets what
they want and are happy by working
[7:59]
together to get an outcome that
everybody likes. Do you think the city
[8:02]
did that? They didn't ask us about our
opinion about the traffic. If they would
[8:06]
have told us nicely that they had issues
with what we were doing, we could have
[8:09]
come up with a better solution, maybe we
could still work out a solution. I love
[8:13]
going to the park for pickup during
school. I look forward to going to the
[8:16]
park after school. Going to the park is
the highlight of my day, so I hope you
[8:20]
take that into consideration.
>> Thank you. [applause]
[8:26]
Okay, after Elizabeth, we'll um hear
from Julian Julianne Rally.
[8:32]
» Okay. Thank you. My name is Elizabeth
Willis. I live on May Circle and I came
[8:38]
to city council about a year ago with um
concerns that there was not a school
[8:46]
speed limit sign as you approach the
school from the south in Mountainville.
[8:50]
And I'm just so happy. I'm really
grateful that that has been amended um
[8:54]
because I even spoke with a state
representative about that. So really
[8:58]
happy about that. I do love the
crosswalk change. I think it's just such
[9:02]
a huge safety improvement. I have kids
that go to Mountainville. Um, I will say
[9:07]
I do think it would really help
alleviate traffic if we had the ability
[9:12]
to go to the park. Those individuals
that come to the school from the north,
[9:17]
then you're catching them before they
come south all the way to the school and
[9:21]
having to come and contribute to that
congestion. So, I will say I do think
[9:26]
that that could be tweaked again with
being able to go and alleviate some of
[9:29]
that traffic and get some of that up
north instead of the congestion right
[9:33]
there on Main Street. But I do really
appreciate the safety improvements for
[9:38]
my kids. So, thank you so much.
>> Thank you,
[9:41]
» Mayor. There there was a sign there. We
actually just took it down. So, maybe
[9:46]
the new design is more visible. So,
that's great.
[9:48]
» Yeah.
[9:52]
the last two years and it wasn't
[10:06]
» typ typically the officers let us know
um that check with that work the
[10:10]
crossing guards if there's an issue
because we go work on them all the time.
[10:13]
It seems like we're at Westfield Road
all the time. So that's one we had never
[10:17]
heard about not working.
Okay.
[10:23]
Okay. We've got
and then after um after Julianne we will
[10:30]
have Addie Squires.
>> Okay.
[10:33]
» All right. Hi, I'm Julianne Rally and I
live on Ponderosa Drive. I am an over
[10:38]
13-year resident of um Alpine and I am
an also a 13-year
[10:44]
um employee at Mountainville Academy.
So, I have two loves and I want to see
[10:49]
both um I want to see a win-win with
this um parking situation. So, first I
[10:54]
want to I want to say um I want to add
and say that I love the new crosswalk.
[10:59]
That is brilliant and I think it's going
to help a ton. I really love it that um
[11:06]
and I love the new signs and flashing
lights. I feel like it makes our school
[11:10]
safer and our students safer and that is
my number one goal. I love my students
[11:14]
and I love um all of the students at
Mountainville Academy and I want to keep
[11:18]
them safe and I want to um as a staff
we've all we're constantly talking about
[11:24]
traffic and what we can do to you know
we talk about ideas and things and so we
[11:29]
want a win-win there. I have my
neighbors who come and talk to me and
[11:33]
they're like I hate the traffic and so I
love that you're working on it and and
[11:38]
and I want to fully support that. Um my
biggest thing is I read the report that
[11:44]
came out um earlier this year about uh
recommending Legacy Park to be a drop
[11:51]
off and pickup solution for students.
And I also read that there were concerns
[11:56]
about safety, but I feel like it is one
of the safest
[12:00]
option. We've had that option for what
is it 17 18 years and there haven't been
[12:05]
any incidents. it has been a safe option
for students and to help alleviate
[12:11]
traffic. I think it's a really excellent
solution. I would love to see you bring
[12:14]
that back. Um
and
[12:19]
Oh, my phone doesn't want to work. Um
but I do want to um I have 10 seconds.
[12:25]
Okay. I think that's the biggest thing
is just please reopen and visit it. I
[12:29]
feel like it's safe. I think it's a
win-win. It'll help alleviate traffic
[12:32]
and I really think that I see
Tuesday
[12:38]
» and I see traffic there and I think we
can make it again. Thank
[12:43]
» we'll have Addie Squires followed by
Monica Ship.
[12:49]
» Thank you Isabelle. That was really
brave. Oh, Addy Squires also 999 Grove
[12:54]
Drive. That was really brave and thanks
for reminding us that we need to seek a
[12:57]
win-win here. I think that Mountainville
had tried to do that by joining a task
[13:03]
force on safety and traffic. And so I
think it's unfortunate from what I hear
[13:08]
that the city made these decisions
unilaterally
[13:12]
sort of in an overnight ambush right
before school started. And that's
[13:16]
exhibiting the win-lose mentality. Okay.
And as has already been mentioned, it's
[13:22]
asinine to ask the city residents from
the north to join the traffic to the
[13:26]
south and use the red pine option. Uh we
were communicated with by the school
[13:32]
that that's where you want to move the
traffic. So even though you might say,
[13:35]
"Oh, the kids can still play at the
park." You're communicating we want to
[13:38]
move the pickup from the park to Red
Pines. Now, the traffic report said that
[13:44]
the city suggested red pines as an
option and they evaluated it and they
[13:49]
said, "Well, sure, okay, but if you're
going to do it, you have to do it with a
[13:53]
trial period, with communication,
collaboration, cooperation."
[13:58]
None of that was done, right? You just
threw up those signs. And I mean, I have
[14:02]
questions about how that works because
according to my understanding, the mi
[14:05]
the municipal code requires that the
governing body direct the placement of
[14:11]
parking signs. And I've had
communication from the council that
[14:14]
there was no council action taken to put
up those temporary signs out there. Um,
[14:20]
and so I would ask you to follow your
own rules and take the action properly.
[14:24]
And finally, you know, city parks hold a
historic place uh in our constitutional
[14:30]
rights as places to gather to peaceibly
assemble and enjoy freedom of speech and
[14:36]
their public spaces. And that's why I
prefer to park there. I don't want to
[14:39]
park in front of a neighbor's house. I'd
rather park in front of my city hall.
[14:42]
So, I respectfully ask that you
reconsider the placement of those
[14:46]
parking signs. And maybe Andrew, I'm not
sure how this works, but if we could
[14:50]
take a second and clarify, you know, and
>> thank you for your time. I appreciate
[14:55]
it.
>> If we could have Monica Ship followed by
[14:59]
Karen Mson.
>> Is this I actually don't know the
[15:03]
process and is this clarified or is this
something we have to do in closed
[15:06]
meeting to ask what the actual process
is for uh uh us to make decisions on
[15:12]
putting up signs or not? I I read the
email, but it was unclear. Let's talk
[15:16]
about this after. Yeah, this is public
comment. It's not a public discussion.
[15:20]
It's public comment. So, let's let them
have that time.
[15:23]
» Sorry,
>> Monica.
[15:24]
» Hi, I'm Monica Ship. I live on 1270
North Grove Drive. Um I'm here to talk
[15:29]
about the um road improvements on Grove
Drive from Alpine Boulevard to I believe
[15:35]
Heritage Hills. And um as many of the
council members have heard, we had a
[15:40]
child hit there about five weeks ago on
their baptism day. They went over there
[15:45]
on a bike and got hit by uh by a car.
They broke their femur, had a
[15:49]
concussion, blood everywhere. Um it was
not a good good good situation for him.
[15:54]
He is recovering and doing better and we
hope he continues to recover. But um I
[15:59]
live just I am that house right north of
that intersection and I have five little
[16:03]
kids of bike riding age that will be
utilizing that street for the eternities
[16:08]
to come because we are not planning to
move. Um, and so the concern here isn't
[16:12]
really that people are driving faster
than the 25 miles per hour, which they
[16:16]
are. Not only the residents, but we have
countless uh dump trucks just zooming up
[16:22]
there. Um, trades people going up there.
We had people just r uh running over
[16:27]
there to get to Lambert Park as fast as
they can to get on the trails. Um, we
[16:32]
understand that the city has conducted
um previous studies to see if a four-way
[16:37]
stop sign is warranted and it wasn't
warranted then, but since that study was
[16:41]
conducted, I believe 2022, maybe 2023,
um, uh, we have had significant uh,
[16:47]
growth in the population just north of
Grove Drive. Um, and so I am hoping that
[16:53]
we don't wait for another child or
pedestrian or honestly a car accident to
[16:58]
happen, which I've witnessed this
morning on my way back from uh dropping
[17:01]
my kids off from school. Two cars almost
collided at that intersection because
[17:04]
they could not see each other um coming
up from the both hills that are at that
[17:08]
intersection. So, I would ask you to
please reconsider a four-way stop sign.
[17:14]
And then I know that the city has talked
about curbs and gutters on North Grove
[17:18]
Drive. to prioritize that um for the
kids going up there on their bikes and
[17:22]
um in the immediate time that this
traffic study is
[17:29]
» Thank you, Julie.
>> Traffic calming measures. So, thank you.
[17:34]
» Thank you, Monica. Um Karen
Mson followed by Michelle Shamway.
[17:42]
» Hi, my name is Karen Mudson. I have a
child who goes to Mountainville Academy.
[17:48]
I
am Am I speaking out of turn?
[17:52]
» Okay. Um, so I came I actually live in
Pleasant Grove. I don't live in Alpine,
[17:57]
but having a son who comes to
Mountainville and hopefully three more
[18:01]
children right behind him coming to
Mountainville wanted to come and address
[18:06]
uh the topic of traffic. And um I
believe that it would be in everyone's
[18:11]
best interest if we can get traffic off
of Main Street because that blocks the
[18:15]
city residents access that blocks um the
the parents coming from neighboring
[18:21]
cities like myself. And so if we can
increase the um access that the children
[18:28]
have to Mountain, one solution that I
thought of comes from my hometown of
[18:33]
Sandy, Utah, where Sunrise Elementary
School, the students could only access
[18:38]
through a very congested neighborhood.
And so my parents helped to get an
[18:43]
easement of a sidewalk put in to allow
the kids to walk through um in between
[18:50]
two home residences so that they could
walk to another area to be picked up
[18:56]
there. And I think that this would work
well on either 200 South or over to Red
[19:02]
Pines, but the faster that that parents
can be picking up their students, the
[19:07]
less congestion there will be on Main
Street. and Red Pine is too close to
[19:11]
that traffic circle to get traffic
moving. So, the more that you could even
[19:17]
move up toward Legacy Park as been as
has been talked about or to the backside
[19:22]
of Mountainville, if there's even a
sidewalk, that would help the children
[19:27]
be able to get out of Mountainville to
another road safely. That's all. Thank
[19:33]
you.
>> Thank you.
[19:36]
Okay, Michelle. Excuse [clears throat]
me. Michelle Shamway, followed by our
[19:40]
last um commenter, Sarah. I am going to
slaughter your name. I'm sorry.
[19:46]
» Zistra.
>> Zilstra.
[19:48]
» Zilstra. Sorry about that.
Um, so my name is Michelle Shemway. I
[19:54]
live on 197 Hawthorne Court. And you
guys probably remember I came before to
[19:58]
speak about golf carts. And I just
wanted to readress it and see if you had
[20:02]
thought more about it. Um, I still feel
really strongly that this is a really
[20:06]
good thing for our community. And after
hearing all these things addressed about
[20:10]
traffic and things like that, I just
can't help but feel like golf carts
[20:14]
could honestly be a solution. Like, you
know, a lot of residents in Alpine have
[20:18]
golf carts and it could actually slow
down traffic and be a safer way for drop
[20:22]
offs and pickups. And um, I feel safer
in my golf cart than I do riding a bike.
[20:27]
So, I just feel like it's safe and I
feel like um maybe I was thinking of
[20:32]
proposing like a trial period. You could
do like a 30-day trial period and see
[20:35]
how it goes or something like that. Just
an idea I just thought of before this
[20:39]
meeting, but just wanted to um readress
it. So, thank you so much for your time.
[20:44]
» Thank you. Um Sarah,
[20:54]
hi. I live on Campfire Circle just down
the street. Um, and to add to Michelle's
[21:01]
comment about golf carts. Um, we feel
the exact same way. She kind of went
[21:05]
over the safety issues or the safety
reasons why um, we want them, but um,
[21:12]
our mine is more like memories with my
kids. Like I want to be able to ride my
[21:16]
or take my six-year-old to his baseball
game at Westville down the street like
[21:20]
to the gas station. like memories small
city feel like we don't have any stop
[21:25]
sign or stop lights like it just kind of
slows everything down and just makes
[21:29]
everything
um fun for the kids, fun for us. We get
[21:34]
outside, we have fresh air, we don't
have to jump in a car all the time. Um
[21:39]
it's just a really fun thing for our
family and I know it's a big thing for a
[21:42]
lot of other families that have special
needs kids that take them out in the
[21:46]
neighborhood to interact with other
kids. like that's how they get out and
[21:48]
interact and um something they look
forward to. And um yeah, we just really
[21:54]
miss being able to ride them around and
um socializing, the socialization that
[21:59]
it brings into the community and the fun
memories that we're able to make with
[22:04]
our kids.
Thanks.
[22:06]
» Thank you, Michelle. Okay,
let's move on to item five, which is
[22:12]
reports and presentations.
Um, who's doing the report on the golf
[22:17]
carts and the fiber survey?
>> That would be me, mayor.
[22:21]
» Okay,
[22:26]
» zoom out of this.
So, perfect segue from the last two
[22:30]
comments into this. Um,
so as as everyone knows or should know,
[22:36]
we did a general information survey in
the month of July regarding golf carts
[22:41]
and internet fiber. Um, so this is just
kind of the the results of that.
[22:47]
So I'll just go through it. Um, we asked
five questions with the golf carts, one
[22:51]
about the fiber. The first question we
asked about golf carts was how
[22:55]
supportive are you of allowing golf
carts to operate on designated public
[22:58]
streets within the city? And this was
the result from the respondents. we had
[23:05]
uh a good amount strongly support um and
an even greater amount that some would
[23:10]
oppose or strongly oppose uh golf carts
and we'll get into the reasons why but
[23:14]
that's just the the raw numbers on that.
Uh question two was what do you believe
[23:20]
are the primary benefits of allowing
golf carts in your community? Select all
[23:24]
that apply. And so you can see the gray
here is other which we'll get into those
[23:27]
comments and then these others that go
around the pie chart. Uh the red is no
[23:32]
clear benefits. So these were obviously
the people that didn't think golf carts
[23:35]
were a good idea. And then these are
other uh responses that people could
[23:38]
fill out. Neighborhood mobility,
recreation, environmental benefits,
[23:42]
reduce traffic congestion.
[23:46]
And you can see there's a lot of numbers
here that more than the amount of people
[23:50]
that took the survey. We had about 650
people that took the survey, but that's
[23:55]
because they can answer multiple answers
on this. Same with this one. Uh, what
[24:00]
concerns do you have about allowing golf
carts on public roads? Select all that
[24:05]
apply. So, the gray is the other column
as well, which has people filled in
[24:09]
comments on that one. Uh, the orange
here is no concerns. So, as you can see,
[24:13]
most people had some level of concern. I
think even the the people that favor
[24:17]
golf carts were were admitted that there
might be some concerns that they wanted
[24:22]
to to address there. Um, concerns such
as driver behavior was was the biggest
[24:28]
one.
uh road sharing confluence traffic
[24:31]
accidents are some of the big ones.
Um the fourth question was just where
[24:37]
you live. So you can see there's a wide
sample here. This is just one page. So I
[24:40]
put etc here. We had people from all
over the city responding to this and you
[24:44]
can see that in the raw data if you if
you follow the link. And then the last
[24:49]
question was just what is your age? Um
and so most people that responded were
[24:53]
were 45 or older to this survey.
[24:59]
Um, so yeah, the other information that
I was referring to before, I can zoom in
[25:04]
a little bit on this. So there were 168
people that selected other, there were
[25:10]
166 total write in answers. So for
question two that was about the
[25:14]
benefits, we had 26 people talk about
the benefits of golf carts and 140
[25:19]
people talk about the concerns with golf
carts on public roads. So that equals
[25:24]
the 166 respondents.
However, we looked at the data a little
[25:29]
bit closer and what we found was that a
lot of people that actually clicked on
[25:33]
the benefits other question actually
filled out a concern. So that benefit
[25:38]
number went down to eight. Uh and the
139 of the responses were regarding
[25:43]
concerns. And then the other responses
that were there, the 19 that were there
[25:48]
were more neutral or related to just
policy suggestions.
[25:52]
So you can see in that table that that
still equals the 166 uh respondents.
[25:57]
So I'll click on this link. This shows
the the data that we did to make sure
[26:02]
that this is accurate what I'm saying
right now. So
[26:06]
so we have for example one the question
two primary benefits what the person
[26:11]
actually said was safety concerns
greatly outweigh the benefits of my
[26:14]
mind. So we reclassified that as a
concern.
[26:19]
uh or such as this one. This was clicked
on as a benefit by the by the
[26:23]
respondent, but they actually said too
many disobedient teenagers in town. So,
[26:26]
it's actually a concern. So, we just
filled that out. Made sure that was
[26:30]
actually classified according to what
the people were saying.
[26:36]
Let me go back to this now.
[26:41]
[clears throat]
[26:44]
Okay. Um and then I just had a word
cloud made here. That was like the main
[26:50]
words that we found in the since
concerns were the biggest response that
[26:53]
we got uh on those other responses. Uh
this world word word cloud came out as
[27:00]
as these words the main words used
driver age kid cart because the main
[27:06]
concern was definitely underage driving
was what we found. So those are the most
[27:10]
used words.
All right. And then the last question
[27:14]
like I said there was just one question
about fiber that we had in the survey.
[27:17]
So, we said, "How likely is it that you
would switch to Centricom Fiber from
[27:20]
Comcast if it was available as an option
in Alpine City?" And these were the
[27:24]
results of that.
[27:29]
» Shane and I have been working with the
new president of Centriccom to um see if
[27:34]
they would come into our city. Since
I've been mayor, I've been trying to
[27:37]
excuse [clears throat] me, especially
after the pandemic, realizing the need
[27:41]
for our residents to get reliable and
consistent um fast-speed internet. Um,
[27:47]
as you guys all well know, we only have
one provider in our city and um I've had
[27:52]
a lot of complaints from our residents
that their rates keep getting hyped up,
[27:56]
their um connection isn't reliable. And
so we have spoken with many many
[28:02]
different fiber providers throughout the
years, but Centriccom is the one that
[28:07]
has come the furthest. They um they kind
of specialize in smaller cities. Um we
[28:12]
had another meeting a couple of weeks
ago um with Highland City also try to
[28:17]
entice them to come in and it looks like
it's looking pretty good. what they need
[28:22]
from um our residents is to do if
they're not getting reliable um fast
[28:29]
speed internet. What we're finding is
what Comcast reported to the government
[28:34]
as far as the speeds that they're
providing is that they're according to
[28:38]
the government and Comcast our map shows
that
[28:42]
most of our residents are being serviced
by one gig or more. But when I talk to
[28:47]
residents and have them do actual speed
tests, there's one that's paying for one
[28:52]
gig and the speed that they're getting
is like 211, which is not even, you
[28:58]
know, a fourth of what they should be
getting for download speeds or upload
[29:02]
speeds. Um, so Centric, what it is, it's
fiber to the home. So you have your own
[29:08]
fiber connection. Their infrastructure
allows up to 11 gigs per line or, you
[29:14]
know, per connection. But um their
general I believe one gig up and down um
[29:21]
their rate is about $74 and it hasn't
changed much throughout the years. They
[29:26]
don't do the practice of raising your
rates every six month six to 12 months.
[29:30]
Um I feel like you know if we can get
somebody else to come in it's better for
[29:34]
our residents whenever there's a
competitive market. So that's why I
[29:38]
needed some data to give to them what
the temperature was of with our
[29:42]
residents because most of our residents
are on that single
[29:47]
provider. Um they needed to know if
there was a market that was available to
[29:51]
them. So that's why I asked Heidi since
we were already doing one on the golf
[29:55]
carts that we um attached this to the
end so that we can um see what the
[29:59]
temperature is of our residents.
>> I would have responded but my internet
[30:03]
was too slow. [laughter]
Is there a is there an infrastructure
[30:07]
cost to that to the city?
>> Not to the city. No,
[30:10]
» that's why it's good. And they want to
come in to the ones that are the most
[30:14]
underserved because I think they feel
like the people that aren't getting
[30:17]
reliable internet are more likely to um
you know go with them. And so that's
[30:23]
they want to see high success and be
able to justify going more into our
[30:27]
city. They're already here. They service
um city hall. They will be servicing the
[30:33]
fire station. They service all the
schools in the city. So they do have a
[30:37]
backbone.
>> If they were to come, do they have to
[30:42]
tear up our roads?
>> No, they go into behind they do it um
[30:48]
it's in our rightway, but they do it
behind the sidewalk
[30:52]
kind of like what um is it Utopia? I
believe Utopia Fiber also does that. And
[30:57]
it's nice because they're not tearing up
our roads. They're not doing the micro
[31:00]
trenching. um and you know if they can
they'll try to utilize our overhead
[31:05]
lines which makes it much more um
cost-effective for them but no there is
[31:11]
not an infrastructure cost to us which
is huge because most of the fiber
[31:15]
companies I've met with wanted a2 to4
million
[31:19]
um outlay from us well and actually it
was two million back before it was right
[31:25]
about the pandemic times when all the
prices started going up.
[31:30]
Okay. Anything else?
>> Nope. That is it. I'll just say because
[31:33]
Heidi wanted me to make sure I
communicated this. Um, oh, so yeah,
[31:37]
here's the source for the raw data for
anyone who wants to look at the actual
[31:40]
raw data. The survey, Heidi wanted to
make sure I communicated that this is a
[31:43]
statistically valid survey based on how
we conducted it. Um, it was put in the
[31:47]
news line in early July. It ran for
about three weeks to July 1 to July 5th
[31:53]
to around um, you know, mid July. Um
there were two to three social media
[31:58]
posts about this that she put out. Uh it
was emailed to every email we have for
[32:02]
the utility building. So about 200
households or more. Um like I said we
[32:07]
had over 600 responses to it and the
survey was filtered so that only one
[32:13]
response could be given per device. So I
just wanted to put that information out
[32:17]
there
>> which is I mean that's a huge response
[32:19]
pool for a small city like our size. I
think um when I told when I was telling
[32:24]
them about the survey results, they were
surprised that we had so many
[32:27]
respondents.
[32:30]
» Okay.
>> You just want us to go one by one
[32:32]
quickly on them.
>> No, that's just the results. Is there if
[32:36]
you if you have questions about it, you
can look at the raw data or you can
[32:38]
» Well, just a couple comments. Did you
want to go though, Brent? I will you
[32:42]
» No, I Sarah doesn't I I'll go quick
then.
[32:44]
» The um Thanks for doing it. That's
awesome. The uh I'm looking at golf
[32:49]
carts like fireworks. Like the reason
fireworks are dangerous is because the
[32:53]
environment we're in is like high fire.
>> Um
[32:56]
» Okay. Um
>> Well, no. I was just going to say no.
[32:58]
Okay. Hold on just a second. And it's
really quick.
[33:00]
» This isn't a discussion. This is a
presentation that he made. If you have
[33:05]
something that you want
>> to let him want to know what to do next,
[33:07]
what to do next. So,
>> if you want to pursue it, then it's the
[33:11]
same thing as anything else. Get another
council person to get it on the agenda.
[33:16]
» Right.
>> But this is just a
[33:17]
» We're not We're not going to discuss it
at all. not not discuss it at all.
[33:21]
» No, we're moving on.
>> Okay. The the
[33:24]
» discussion will be if you want to bring
it back to a
[33:27]
» Well, it's it's not it's just one thing
with the study. That's all I was going
[33:29]
to say. I'll just say it quick. The
study, everyone is against kids driving
[33:33]
golf carts. In the study, though, it
wasn't clear that kids would not be
[33:36]
allowed to drive golf carts. So, most of
the people saying that they don't like
[33:41]
them. We're all in agreement. We don't
want kids to drive golf carts. as I
[33:45]
talked to them, they didn't understand
this was a survey for only adults with
[33:49]
driver's license to drive golf carts.
So, there's just one loophole. So, so
[33:53]
the people that are for this who have
been pushing for this, you might want to
[33:57]
do a little more education for the folks
and let them know what this actually was
[34:02]
and then maybe come back at it because I
know this was your this was this the
[34:07]
genesis was you and so they didn't
understand that. So, just that was all.
[34:11]
Thank you and thank you for doing the
fiber. I think that's I think it's gonna
[34:14]
help.
>> Okay. Financial report, Shane.
[34:18]
[clears throat]
>> Yeah. So, we're we're just one month
[34:20]
into our our new budget year. Uh but we
did uh get our last sales tax uh
[34:27]
allocation for FY26,
which put us about 2.76%
[34:33]
uh increase over the previous year. Uh
so, it's good to see some growth there.
[34:39]
um uh the books were closed after we
received this last week. Um Dave
[34:44]
finalized that and we're actually moving
into our audit um next week. So he had
[34:49]
that all kind of teed up and it's
actually pretty much unheard of to do
[34:54]
that. Um but Dave Dave does a great job
with it. So um you only being one month
[35:00]
in, we have we've expended some funds.
If you go through and look at insurance,
[35:05]
it might say 80% or something like that,
but it's 8% through the budget year, but
[35:09]
it's front-loaded, so don't get
concerned with those type things.
[35:15]
Uh, the largest project in our budget is
well underway, um, the fire station. And
[35:20]
so, we'll start seeing regular monthly
uh, payments, you know, in the 250,000
[35:26]
range, probably sometimes more depending
on equipment and things. But, um, It's
[35:32]
going well so far.
So, um, any questions
[35:38]
related to the financial report? It's
pretty brief, one month in.
[35:43]
» Anybody have questions?
Okay. Thank you, Shane. Let's move on to
[35:50]
um
report on the CWPP.
[35:55]
Chief, are you doing that or is Chief
Beck?
[35:58]
» Okay.
[36:12]
I'm going to talk about CWP.
Essentially, the CWPP
[36:16]
coincides with our CWS that we that we
go through every year, which is our
[36:22]
cooperative
wildfire agreement, which essentially
[36:26]
says that we are going to
play ball with the state. And what what
[36:33]
we do for our CWS is we keep a current
CWPP.
[36:38]
We have a monetary cost based on
um essentially our threat level which we
[36:47]
t we do in kind work. Um so things like
equipment purchases and engine purchases
[36:55]
and and also mitigation projects,
anything like that, we count that
[36:59]
towards the cost of of the CWS. And what
the CWS really gives us is
[37:08]
I I would I would refer to it as more of
an insurance. If we have a fire that
[37:12]
starts in Alpine proper and goes to
state or federal or if it stays in
[37:17]
Alpine proper, if if Lambert Park, which
is completely in Alpine City, caught on
[37:22]
fire,
if that fire gets big enough to where we
[37:26]
have resources that come in and that
fire gets delegated, the state is going
[37:30]
to take on the cost of that fire. So if
you know back to 2012, we have that fire
[37:36]
again. We've got VLATs coming. I mean,
one VLAT drop is going to be
[37:41]
a million dollars, right? And that's why
fires cost so much money. And
[37:46]
essentially what that does is protect us
from
[37:49]
protect you rather from having to have
that
[37:54]
cost. So the CWP is something that we
keep current all the time. Um what you
[38:01]
have in your packet I believe is
probably somewhere in the neighborhood
[38:05]
of 91 pages long. Um we opted rather
than to just fill out the state template
[38:12]
to really put in a very detailed
um CWPP plan.
[38:19]
um so that we can also use this to
hopefully fund some grant requests and
[38:27]
help with the mitigation efforts in both
Alpine and Highland.
[38:31]
With the the old CWPP,
um it became very apparent quickly that
[38:37]
nobody's going to give us a bunch of
money if we don't have a plan. So the
[38:40]
CWPP, the community wildfire protection
plan is what is required and it needs to
[38:45]
be a robust plan that's detailed and and
really lines out what we are going to do
[38:51]
if the state or the federal government
or anybody gives us money.
[38:58]
» So how soon um can we start going for
these grants for the mitigation or
[39:04]
» I would assume right now. We have all
the signatures. CWPP's been put back,
[39:10]
given back to the state. So, I would
think that it's official and we just
[39:14]
need to figure out what grants are out
there. And
[39:17]
» well, what about the grant that um
Draper got um to do all their wildlife
[39:23]
or wildland mitigation work that came
down into Alpine on the northwest
[39:28]
corner? Um is there any way that we can
go for grant that will continue that
[39:32]
work along the northern border and then
if eventually the east um the eastern
[39:38]
border of our city
>> as long as that northern and eastern
[39:41]
border are not forest
>> right
[39:45]
» that was a state grant
>> right the northern side it's mostly
[39:48]
owned by the city right it's um public
open space and so when I talked to the
[39:54]
» that's the place that we could
>> when I talked to is it Mike is that his
[39:57]
name when I talked to Mike I said that's
all city property and we give you
[40:01]
permission to do mitigation work. Um the
east um border of Alpine is a little bit
[40:08]
more difficult but it's mostly private
own private land owners and I think they
[40:12]
would be amendable um once we get that
grant money or if we need to get their
[40:16]
permission and we can go around and
start doing that also but the sooner we
[40:20]
can get working on that the better.
>> Absolutely. We just need a grant writer.
[40:27]
We know of one.
>> Good.
[40:31]
» We have to pay him. But yes, we do know
of one.
[40:34]
» Well, we we have a little bit of money.
We Did you get the first submission we
[40:38]
got? Did that go to you or Justice
Shane?
[40:41]
» No, I was copied on it.
>> Were was it good?
[40:46]
» Well, I don't He's the boss of the fire
brigade.
[40:50]
» Did you like it?
>> We'll talk.
[40:53]
» Why don't you We pitch the first one to
do is Lambert. basically all the homes
[40:57]
on Lambert on our trail to get rid of
all of the fire problems. I thought it
[41:02]
was good.
>> Okay.
[41:03]
» I think we ought to change our name to
fire brigade.
[41:05]
» There you go. Do you guys have any
>> I like it. Well, whatever.
[41:08]
» Do you have any questions?
>> Well, just whenever you have one
[41:11]
» regarding the CWPP.
>> Uh, we love it.
[41:15]
» I don't I don't have any regarding the
CWP. I did notice in there that they
[41:19]
commended, you know, three falls for
their mitigation work. And would it be
[41:22]
possible either for Jason Jones or Chief
Beck or yourself to come and speak to
[41:27]
like have a community education night
and go over what's worked really well
[41:31]
for Three Falls and how we can translate
that into other community subdivisions
[41:36]
and
>> Yeah, absolutely.
[41:38]
» Would you be the one or should I reach
out to Jason?
[41:41]
» No, I think Jason would be the one. He's
he's the one that's been either
[41:44]
facilitating or recommending the work
that's being done up there. So,
[41:48]
» okay. Jason or or I mean we've worked a
lot with with Jason to try to make sure
[41:53]
that we're I mean we want to know what's
being done so that because there are
[41:57]
there are parts of that work that's
being done that we can tie into if we
[42:01]
had an event up there. So we're very
much want to be a part of it. Not so
[42:06]
much the work but as far as knowing what
the resources are up there.
[42:11]
» Okay.
>> Yeah. So like all the people that I know
[42:12]
up at Three Falls, they've done their
own mitigation work and Jason has kind
[42:16]
of guided them and kind of gave them
hints like oh you know this is what you
[42:20]
want to do not like a complete fire
line. He's kind of in line with what the
[42:24]
um Forest Service
>> and um what the state and the county
[42:28]
level have kind of suggested with that
and that's what they're working on is
[42:31]
basically clearing the dead fall,
thinning it out.
[42:34]
» So it's more the private property owners
up there that have been doing it and
[42:37]
Jason's just kind of been helping. The
only thing that has not been done by the
[42:41]
um private property owners was the
leftover money that was given to Draper
[42:44]
to do the fire mitigation when they were
going around the perimeter of their city
[42:49]
was that there was extra monies and so
they used it to come down and kind of
[42:54]
met up with three falls and did a little
bit to that. So coming down that there's
[42:58]
been fire mitigation done on um Draper
side and then where it meets Alpine and
[43:04]
it comes down into Alpine but then the
money ran out. So if there is a
[43:08]
potential like on the east side that's
more privately owned like if we get
[43:12]
grant money we would focus primarily on
the north city property and then if
[43:17]
there's extra we could we can help
>> private res
[43:22]
none of it went into private residents.
>> Okay.
[43:24]
» It's all on city property.
>> Okay. That was my
[43:27]
» there was some access through private
property um just to get access so that
[43:33]
they didn't have to come up and over the
mountain every single time especially
[43:35]
when they were getting closer that they
did ask for access and we work with
[43:39]
private property owners to be able to
use their drives to get to an area so
[43:44]
that it wouldn't take them hours to get
to where they needed to be.
[43:48]
» Okay. Thanks. And I just have one last
question in here. It talks about
[43:52]
specific subdivisions
that are, you know, have a higher higher
[43:58]
risk or would you just classify those as
like along the interface and the benches
[44:03]
or are there other subdivisions that are
not bordering wilderness or on the
[44:09]
higher elevations that would also be
considered
[44:13]
high risk? Um, right off the top of my
head, we do have a couple, at least one
[44:18]
that I can think of that is not
necessarily bordering the urban
[44:21]
interface that is internal, if you will.
>> Okay.
[44:24]
» It's not right on the border pushing up
against the foothills that is for sure a
[44:29]
high risk.
>> Okay. Maybe I'll just email you. I'm
[44:32]
just curious what where they are, you
know, if there's a way we can target
[44:36]
target some education towards those
specific areas, those communities.
[44:41]
Right. Yeah. That's
>> and and the CWPP that is part of part of
[44:45]
the CWPP is the education component. It
also brings into you know evacuation and
[44:51]
how we get information out. And so when
you know going through this and doing
[44:55]
our tabletops and everything that we did
leading through this, we had police, we
[45:00]
had city officials. Um, yeah, it's it's
a it's a lot of people when you start
[45:07]
looking at a if we were to have a huge
event for us to be prepared.
[45:12]
» Yeah, I got to participate in that or
attend the tabletop. That was really
[45:15]
interesting. So, thank you.
>> My um Kaden, would you mind scrolling
[45:21]
down to page 149 of this document? Of
course, me being a visual person, I love
[45:27]
these maps or hated them one way,
however you look at it. Could you just
[45:31]
put this into layman's terms about the
the risk that we all live with daily?
[45:36]
[laughter]
[45:39]
» Well, you see the red,
>> that's the wildfire risk in Alpine. So,
[45:44]
Alpine C currently sits at I want to say
98
[45:49]
point something percent of cities in
this country when it comes to wildfire
[45:55]
risk. Meaning 98% of this country has
less wildfire risk than Alpine.
[46:00]
So what that red is is is wildfire risk.
Alpine has is a beautiful city that has
[46:09]
a lot of open space. It has a lot of
contiguous places for fire to travel,
[46:14]
which is how we outline urban interface.
if a fire can move from one home to
[46:18]
another or from this part of the forest
to that part of the forest. And really
[46:23]
urban interface is going to be one home
to another. So one house house catches
[46:27]
on fire, it has the ability to travel
via trees, shrubs,
[46:33]
those types of things. That's really how
we define urban interface.
[46:37]
H
>> how come the north is white?
[46:41]
» Those are the granit.
>> Oh, okay.
[46:44]
» They don't burn. There's just no Yeah,
the rock.
[46:47]
» We don't find out.
>> Can you go down to the next one? Um, and
[46:52]
I was curious about
the blue here. What What makes it more
[46:58]
very low? What are those places? Because
because I can't interface this with like
[47:03]
Google Earth, but you you probably know
these by the like at the back of your
[47:07]
hand.
>> Um, maybe not. So, where the mouse is
[47:11]
down on the bottom right there, that's
Alpine.
[47:14]
Okay,
>> so back to our white. If we scrolled up
[47:18]
and we look at that same line, the white
up there on top where we've got the
[47:23]
little looks kind of like a mountain
range and we go down to the next one.
[47:28]
So, back to the granit, very low risk of
burning the granates.
[47:32]
» Okay.
>> So, then down here in the there, if you
[47:35]
go if you go where the mouse is, that
that's our city.
[47:38]
» There's like our our our canyons and
stuff. Yes.
[47:42]
» I see. Okay. And I would assume that
that lower right is going to be the top
[47:47]
attemp. So back to rock,
>> right? Okay. Thank you for helping me
[47:52]
interpret these. I was not following
this very well to be honest. Let's keep
[47:56]
going down the next one. Let's see if
there's anything that stands out worth
[48:00]
that's noteworthy. So knowing we're down
here in this lower corner. This is the
[48:04]
wild. This is the lone peak. So this
includes Highland Highland and Alpine.
[48:08]
Is that correct?
>> Yes.
[48:11]
» Okay.
All right.
[48:15]
» So, where you see that yellow line where
you know you kind of have the white
[48:18]
there, that that line that wraps around
is going to be your, you know, where
[48:23]
your exposure score starts.
>> So, in a future meeting, we will be
[48:28]
presenting a
with uh House Bill 48 or 41, whichever
[48:33]
one mandated the new maps.
>> Okay.
[48:36]
» We will we will have we need to approve
a five or greater. So essentially, we're
[48:42]
going to draw a line through Alpine that
says everything on this side of the
[48:45]
line's five or higher. Everything on the
side on the inside of that line's going
[48:50]
to be five or lower or four or lower.
>> But it could be internal like it could
[48:55]
be polka dot like because we have such
internal open areas.
[48:59]
» No.
>> No.
[49:00]
» The state did not build it that way.
Basically what the state did is they
[49:04]
came off of the mountains and then they
brought brought it down.
[49:08]
» Okay. I don't exactly know how they did
it.
[49:11]
» How far they came in, but they came in.
>> So, okay,
[49:15]
» rather than poke it out, it really is
just kind of an outside line,
[49:19]
» which makes the CWP and some of this
stuff even more important so that we can
[49:25]
articulate, hey, while we may not be in
your high-risk zone,
[49:31]
» this is an identifiable high-risisk zone
that we need some help with.
[49:36]
Okay, let's just look at the last one. I
don't remember if I had a question. Just
[49:41]
that I needed a little bit of lay man's
interpretation. Anything here?
[49:45]
Suppression difficulty index. Is that
because of the steepness of the slopes?
[49:49]
It's
>> inaccessible roads, that type of thing.
[49:51]
» Yeah. No roads, right?
>> Steepness. So everything on on your east
[49:55]
side and even on your,
>> you know, up to the granite, that's
[49:58]
going to be really hard for us for us to
suppress and and really anybody for that
[50:04]
matter. Okay, thank you. That was very
helpful.
[50:07]
» And I just want to clarify. Sorry,
Chief. Alpine's actually up here now.
[50:10]
I'm remembering the wildlife urban ever
face map. We're not down here. We're
[50:14]
We're like right here.
>> Yeah, that's the corner.
[50:16]
» So, we're in the yellow.
>> Yeah.
[50:18]
» Yeah. You got a bunch. You got a lot of
your yellow.
[50:21]
» Moderate exposure. 30 three out of
eight. Four out of eight.
[50:25]
» So, you can get on the It's called the
URAP, which is essentially if you just
[50:29]
kind of Google Utah wildfire, it'll put
you on the URAP portal. You can go into
[50:35]
the URAP portal and you can put in an
address. You can pull up the whole city
[50:39]
and it will give you your exposure score
per property.
[50:43]
» Yeah.
>> One of the other things because um I I
[50:47]
re recently was learning more about
water. There was one in here about our
[50:51]
watershed.
>> So um is that how is how does that
[50:55]
relate is if there was a fire it would
ruin all our water or like how does that
[50:58]
interface?
>> Okay. essentially. So when we look at
[51:02]
like American Fork Canyon, you know, Dry
Creek, any of these places where all of
[51:06]
the water and not just our water,
>> a lot of water in the north part of this
[51:11]
county,
>> um that all of the a potential, you
[51:16]
know, if if we had a fire, you look at
what happened with Beaver with their
[51:19]
fire when the flooding came down and
that kind of stuff. We have something
[51:22]
similar, a fire that goes through
American Fork Canyon, we have similar
[51:26]
type of vents. We may not be able to get
PI water. You know, a lot of our PI
[51:32]
water comes out the stuff we're not
pumping comes out of American Fork
[51:35]
Canyon and maybe not Alpine, but
Highland for sure. Um, but all of your
[51:41]
groundwater, you put that kind of,
you know, contaminants and fire and
[51:46]
stuff into your groundwater. Um, we we
have a a big potential for
[51:53]
water contamination as well as, you
know, one of the things that we saw with
[51:57]
the quail fire was was flooding, right?
The mudslides and and those types of
[52:03]
things.
>> Okay. Now that I'm still getting my
[52:05]
bearings here on this map, why are you
saying that we as a fire district and I
[52:10]
serve on that board, we cover way up
into the mountains? Like that's your
[52:14]
resp like our like that's us. We cover
125 square miles. We cover clear to the
[52:20]
Salt Lake border. So basically, and it's
not right up the Highland Boulevard, but
[52:27]
it's in around Draper now where Draper
owns essentially to the Salt Lake County
[52:31]
border.
>> Clear up to the corner where we meet
[52:33]
Wasach. And then down Wasach, we come
around the face of Temp.
[52:37]
» We cover a large portion of Mahogany.
And
[52:41]
» so what you're telling me it's much
larger than our city boundary. Correct.
[52:45]
» Yeah. The combined city, I believe, is
25 square miles. So, we cover
[52:52]
» Well, Alpine is only eight, but with
Highland, we're probably
[52:57]
» in that neighborhood.
>> 25. Yeah.
[53:00]
» So, this square portion on the bottom is
that American Fort Canyon.
[53:03]
» That is our that is our coverage area.
So, American Fort Canyon's actually in
[53:08]
come down just a little bit. Right about
there is where American Fort
[53:11]
[clears throat] Canyon is. And then
you've got mahogany going up and then
[53:14]
the face of temp. And
>> I see. So that's why it's all dark
[53:17]
because lots of vegetation. Okay. I'm
learning to read your maps. Thank you.
[53:21]
» Not my maps. That's tutorial. Wait, why
does it go down so far south? Are you
[53:26]
guys still including Cedar Hills or is
that
[53:29]
» we still cover from the agreement with
whatever agreement was it made? We still
[53:34]
cover that part of the mountains. So we
cover clear down to the Cedar Hills city
[53:39]
border on the face of
>> the mountains. Okay.
[53:42]
» Interesting.
>> These aren't our maps. These are also
[53:44]
state maps. So, you can pull all of
these maps off that URAP site.
[53:49]
» Okay.
>> But I won't have you to tell me what
[53:51]
they mean. So, I'm really glad you went
through it.
[53:52]
» Call me anytime.
>> Thank you.
[53:54]
» A little darn work.
>> Andrew, do you mind if you could talk to
[53:58]
um Draper Fire Department and see who
they use to write their grants and maybe
[54:03]
get direction from them?
>> Sure. So, if we could move forward on
[54:06]
that because my understanding was that
we try to go for those mitigation grants
[54:10]
and we didn't get it because our CWPP
wasn't um
[54:15]
» robust enough
>> robust enough for a lack of better and
[54:18]
then that's why we went through this
process. We got a grant to do the CWPP,
[54:22]
hired um outside consultants, they came
in um
[54:26]
» this has been an 18month process.
>> Yeah, it's been a long long process.
[54:29]
They finally have it together. So, for
me the next step would be to go after
[54:32]
those grants.
Yeah.
[54:35]
» Thank you, Chief.
>> Just need a grant writer. I didn't ask
[54:39]
» Draper and see who they use for their
grant writing because you want somebody
[54:43]
you want somebody who knows what they're
doing. And grant writing is very
[54:46]
specific to each specialty, whether it's
fire, playground equipment, roads,
[54:50]
whatever it may be. Everybody has their
things that um they know. So, if you
[54:54]
could talk to them and kind of get a
lead
[54:56]
» and then we can move from there. Thank
you. Mayor Merrill, do you mind if I ask
[55:00]
a follow-up question to one of before
Andrew goes? Thank you, Andrew. Um, just
[55:05]
with regards to watershed, is there
anything that we can or should be doing
[55:10]
now to help protect our wershed in case
of a fire? Is there anything we can do
[55:15]
to prevent that? Besides just preventing
>> our best I think our best bet is to try
[55:18]
to prevent the fire.
>> Okay.
[55:21]
» So, I don't I don't know. I mean,
>> yeah. I don't I don't know what we would
[55:25]
do.
>> More water. Maybe if there's less water
[55:29]
to contaminate. I don't know. I'm just
kidding. They're in California. They're
[55:33]
doing the big
>> Thank you, Chief. Appreciate it.
[55:34]
» Well, hold on. I got one from the
They're doing the big storage tanks at
[55:38]
people's homes
>> because that that is helpful to have it
[55:42]
dispersed. So, anyways, it's a double
one for So, I learned that uh the the
[55:47]
window for doing the mitigation is not
in the winter. I thought it was in the
[55:51]
dead in the winter. It's from October to
Novemberish, September, October. So,
[55:56]
we're actually arriving in our perfect
window. That was the only reason I
[55:59]
submitted that project is because our
windows open. Thanks for doing it with
[56:02]
me, Brent. Um, so if you have projects
that you would like us to do or you
[56:09]
think could be urgent, we'd love to do
it or I I should say I would love to do
[56:13]
it uh before the winter because if we
can do it this fall, then by spring and
[56:19]
summer when we h if we have another year
like this, we'll just be we'll be a lot
[56:24]
more ready for it. So, I don't know what
process you want to go through on that.
[56:27]
However you want to do it, we'll follow
your lead. But I'll just submit ideas.
[56:31]
But if you have one you want, let us
know. And we have the budget allotted
[56:34]
that we put for this budget. Uh we can
also start with that. Uh am I under the
[56:39]
» We might want to use it for a grant
writer.
[56:41]
» Sure. Or grant writing. Grant. Am I
under the understanding that that budget
[56:44]
is just by us submitting to utilize
those funds? Is that the process?
[56:49]
» There there are funds allocated in the
budget for
[56:52]
» mitigation work. Yeah.
>> Right. Okay. So, do we submit for a
[56:55]
grant writer or submit for a project or
an emergency or whatever he says would
[56:59]
be best? Is that fair for everyone? Is
that
[57:01]
» that's a discussion that we need to
have. Yeah. How to
[57:04]
» I mean obviously we would want the input
from the fire chief. He would be he's a
[57:09]
subject matter expert. So, we will lean
on his expertise.
[57:11]
» You got to have the chief.
>> Okay.
[57:13]
» Okay. Well, if you have a process, let
us know because currently we're a little
[57:15]
bit
>> we're we're it's ambiguous and we're in
[57:18]
the dark as to what the process is to do
fire mitigation. So, let us know what it
[57:22]
is.
Thank you.
[57:25]
Okay, let's move on to um citizens water
committee report. We have Mr. Steven
[57:31]
Burroughs who has championed um
conservation for our city and has done
[57:36]
so much work. I've asked him to come and
give a report um just to keep everyone
[57:41]
updated especially the work that you did
during alpine days.
[57:44]
» We'll do so. Thank you for your time.
We're [clears throat] twothirds of the
[57:48]
way into the water year right now and a
lot has happened. We especially
[57:53]
appreciate the city staff, Heidi and
Shelley and Carolyn and Don and Deian
[57:59]
for the cooperation. Clyde uh Staer and
I, we come every Monday for two hours
[58:06]
and we partner with them and making
calls to those who have leaks. We
[58:10]
consider what uh can be done to help uh
increase the uh uptake of our app and
[58:18]
consider for a long term what we could
be doing. So let me give you some
[58:21]
statistics that will help you understand
where we are and a sense of where we
[58:25]
think we should be going forward. So our
goal this year was to when compared to
[58:32]
last year decrease total utilization by
25%.
[58:36]
That's a lofty goal. Okay. Uh that sort
of goal will need to continue into next
[58:42]
year. So far during that twothirds of
the water year through uh August 15th,
[58:50]
our total water use is down uh about 11%
and a little over 11% is PI only. So
[58:59]
yes, we do have places where outdoor
water is used culinary, but we're down
[59:06]
and I think once over 10, that's good.
We're moving fast and hard to the rest.
[59:12]
The first few months have been a focus
on education. Education around two
[59:17]
things. One is the ordinances around
restrictions and the guidelines around
[59:21]
using and then conservation. Uh we this
is an experiment in how much can we get
[59:29]
in way of results with conservation
education and restriction education. The
[59:35]
answer is it helps. It's one of the many
levers you pull to ultimately get to the
[59:41]
point that the use of water doesn't
exceed the supply of water. And as you
[59:47]
read about what the Colorado uh river
plans are, it's all about not about what
[59:54]
the state's demand or need. It's all
about the supply. And as we move
[59:59]
forward, we're going to recommend some
ways to understand what our supply is as
[1:00:05]
we enter next water season so we can
adjust if needs be education,
[1:00:11]
restrictions, enforcement, etc. so that
we don't exceed the supply. Hopefully
[1:00:18]
with a good uh snow pack, the supply
will be higher and it won't affect those
[1:00:23]
things that we're accustomed to. Uh a
couple things we're we're doing. Let me
[1:00:28]
just talk about Ion water first. Ion
water is an app that's made available
[1:00:33]
free from the city. Um about 44% of of
property owners have it. It grow it's
[1:00:40]
going gradually in the 1 of June 41% of
the city users had it. Um unfortunately
[1:00:48]
only 39% of those who have leaks have
it. The challenge is have it and use it.
[1:00:56]
So, a fun story that Carla's very much
aware of, uh, Clyde and I are retired,
[1:01:02]
so we choose fun projects and we saw
with Heidi's help Alpine Days. Who would
[1:01:08]
not want to be at Alpine Days? And we
got a free t-shirt. So, that made the
[1:01:13]
difference. So, from 10:00 until 8:00 on
Friday and on Saturday from 10 until 6,
[1:01:20]
he and I manned a booth right next to uh
the city booth. Now Clyde and I are
[1:01:26]
business development people. So it's one
of those we're proceliting basically.
[1:01:31]
And Clyde knows everybody. So anyone
that he knows, even about 15 yards away,
[1:01:36]
if he called their name, they'd come
over. Long story short, half we we
[1:01:42]
talked to a hundred people about 50 of
them chose to stay long enough with us
[1:01:47]
to pull out their iPhones and do the
steps. There's only a few steps to
[1:01:52]
actually download the ion water. Okay. A
major part of that is make sure they
[1:01:58]
allow push notification. So if there's a
leak, they would know. The other half
[1:02:03]
were I've got it, but I don't know how
to use it or as a partner may say,
[1:02:08]
"Honey, you deleted it." So we
reinstalled it. The whole idea is raise
[1:02:14]
the consciousness level of what we can
do personally to manage water. The next
[1:02:20]
project that we've been working on, uh,
like I said, since June, we've been
[1:02:23]
making those calls. We're finding
there's got to be a more productive way
[1:02:27]
to reduce what we call leaks. Leaks in
our definition are is a continuous flow
[1:02:33]
of water for 24 or more hours. Think of
that. We think of a broken pipe. We
[1:02:40]
think of a valve that's malfunctioning.
There's also the possibility that
[1:02:44]
consciously or subconsciously I I allow
my watering to go 24 hours or more. So
[1:02:51]
we right now no one should be watering
24 hours or more. Okay. So we during the
[1:02:58]
next couple months and with the help
especially of of Don and Shelley we're
[1:03:02]
we're doing two things. We're
identifying those who and there's 608 of
[1:03:07]
the there's about 12% of all the meters
out there that there is a leak as per
[1:03:12]
that definition. Okay. Half of that is
10 gallons or more an hour. All right.
[1:03:20]
So about a third of that uh 608 have a
problem. Okay. So you take 10 x 24* 7*
[1:03:29]
30 it adds up fast. Okay. um some and so
our goal is that our goal is a couple
[1:03:36]
fold. One is we'd like that number of
608 to be less than 500 by the time the
[1:03:42]
the water uh year ends. And we'd like as
many people as possible, especially for
[1:03:48]
PI to be notified and take action to
repair after October 15th. You repair
[1:03:55]
something, you don't know if it's
repaired until April 15th next year.
[1:04:00]
Second of all, we have a goal of over uh
five over 50% of all water users having
[1:04:07]
ion water. And so there's a we're we're
like I said very closely with the sea
[1:04:11]
staff and combining efforts and ideas to
decree increase the number of
[1:04:17]
applications through of ion water and
decrease the number of accounts that
[1:04:21]
have leaks going forward. That's what
we're doing the next couple of months.
[1:04:26]
The priority that hopefully this will go
work right into the next uh agenda item
[1:04:31]
is to support a couple things. One is to
support the identification and funding
[1:04:37]
of those deficiency projects that
support water both PI and culinary and
[1:04:43]
second of all is to figure out processes
that will help the enforcement.
[1:04:50]
We're we're working with uh Clyde as a
tech guru and Heidi to automate where
[1:04:58]
possible the notification to of those
608 accounts who have a leak. And then
[1:05:05]
for right now, every week the major
segments, the city uh for business and
[1:05:11]
parks, the schools, the the um churches
and the a users, they get a report uh
[1:05:18]
from that that leak report of who has a
leak. And then we follow up every week
[1:05:25]
and we're finding that action is being
taken. It's a personal s source of pride
[1:05:30]
to say this week is less than last week.
But to give you a sense, uh, most
[1:05:36]
recently 28 million gallons were in some
way leaked. So our goal is to reduce
[1:05:42]
that number of accounts with leaks to
under uh, five 500.
[1:05:46]
» Did you say this week or this season?
>> The this, as of the most recent leak
[1:05:52]
report, and some of these leaks have
been going on for a long time, there's
[1:05:57]
28 million. Okay. Um, so the goal the
goal is Go ahead.
[1:06:02]
» I mean, It's a huge number, but there's
always going to be leaks in the system.
[1:06:06]
Any given city is just part of it. You
do like a percentage of your total water
[1:06:10]
usage. But what these gentlemen have
been doing is it's a huge thing. Right.
[1:06:14]
There was because some of these people
have had leaks since we turned PI on and
[1:06:18]
they were not aware of it at all.
>> That's right. We have all sprinklers and
[1:06:23]
property owners. Yeah. So Clyde and I
have all sorts of fun stories of people
[1:06:26]
picking up the phone and first of all
denying that they have a leak and then
[1:06:30]
we talk through is is a hot tub, is a
swimming pool, is there a faucet in the
[1:06:36]
backyard that a grandson may have? And
then they check it out and it's like
[1:06:40]
thank you, you know, and uh very few
have been um recalcitant towards it.
[1:06:47]
most of them have tried to figure out
what the leak is and they and we help
[1:06:52]
them figure out maybe try it a different
way. So we feel pleased with what has
[1:06:57]
happened. Uh 11% reduction is good.
We're working towards having a at least
[1:07:02]
a 12 and a half% reduction by the end of
the year. There's mitigating factors and
[1:07:07]
I would just end with to get to where we
need to to make sure demand doesn't
[1:07:12]
exceed supply there's multiple levers.
It's the education. It's the
[1:07:17]
restrictions. It's our rating system.
It's uh it's it's doing what's needed to
[1:07:23]
make the system efficient. It's
enforcement. All those things are going
[1:07:27]
to have to be pulled to eventually get
to that point we don't exceed supply.
[1:07:32]
Thank you.
>> Thank you so much. Appreciate all your
[1:07:35]
work. Honestly,
[1:07:39]
[clears throat]
>> I
[1:07:39]
» One of the highlights, Mayor, was they
almost got rained out one day at Alpine.
[1:07:43]
» I know. No. Friday. No, I was um able to
sit down with them for much of Friday
[1:07:48]
and Saturday and see them in action and
they were amazing.
[1:07:53]
» So, this is a follow-up question. Are we
calling on culinary leaks or only PI?
[1:07:59]
» Both. Okay.
>> The six the 608 is for both or is that
[1:08:03]
just PI?
>> Both. All together. All the leaks
[1:08:07]
together. And so, yeah, all we get is
whether they have a leak or not. And
[1:08:10]
then we, you know, and then when they do
the eye on water, it should tell them,
[1:08:14]
it tells them what the leak is. And then
you can go into the app and it depends
[1:08:18]
on
there's a setting um on how big the pipe
[1:08:22]
sizes that tells you whether it's
culinary or PI. The larger pipe size is
[1:08:27]
for PI, the smaller pipe size is for
indoor. Indoor is usually leaky toilets.
[1:08:33]
um outdoors either PI or as we
discovered it's um hot tubs that
[1:08:38]
automatically recycle and autofill and
there was a leak in the hot tub and it
[1:08:43]
just kept filling it and they had no
idea.
[1:08:47]
» I I'm a success story too but we'll tell
that success story offline.
[1:08:51]
» I'll come tell you my experience with
ion water and my leakage report that
[1:08:54]
came to my email.
>> Yes. Okay, let's move on to action
[1:08:59]
items. No,
we've got um the sales tax bond for the
[1:09:05]
fire station.
Um do we need to do anything else or
[1:09:08]
should I just go ahead and open the
public hearing? Do you have a
[1:09:11]
» just explain this is a public hearing is
required. It's it's been scheduled. It's
[1:09:16]
been advertised. It's one of the steps
in the process. Um this will kind of
[1:09:21]
round out the public meeting
requirements for the bond. Uh we do have
[1:09:26]
Mark Anderson online. If anyone has any
uh questions for him, I'm sure he'd be
[1:09:32]
happy to answer those. Um the
uh requests for bids have been sent out.
[1:09:39]
Um they're coming due
uh couple days, the 27th and then the
[1:09:47]
first part of um September everything
can be closed out.
[1:09:52]
» Okay.
>> Okay. I will um open the public hearing
[1:09:57]
for the sales tax bond for the fire
station. So, at this point, the public
[1:10:02]
is welcome to come up and speak about um
the sales tax bond. Um you will have
[1:10:09]
three minutes to make a statement.
The floor is open.
[1:10:23]
Okay. As no one has come forward, I'm
going to close the public hearing
[1:10:30]
and then we'll move. Okay. Item B. Um,
so sir, when they do you want to explain
[1:10:36]
with the brick why?
>> Yeah. So, uh, we meet every Thursday,
[1:10:40]
just a progress meeting on the fire
station. Um, last Thursday we met and
[1:10:45]
they said, "Hey, we we got to have this
brick on whatever approval process you
[1:10:49]
have, uh, we need to do it ASAP." They
were estimating based on what they had
[1:10:55]
been told by some of these brick
companies 12 to 16 week delivery times
[1:11:00]
and to hit their marks it had to be
right now. So as they were I said I need
[1:11:05]
actual samples not just pictures of what
the brick color would be or whatever.
[1:11:10]
Um, so they were gathering those up and
as they were working on that end of it,
[1:11:17]
the times they were given were more
favorable and they said, "We're we're
[1:11:22]
still gathering samples. We're fine to
wait two more weeks." And so that's
[1:11:27]
that's why it's um just needs to be put
off for a couple weeks. So we will have
[1:11:32]
actual samples. We'll try to have them,
you know, maybe shoot for like the
[1:11:37]
Friday before the meeting. So if you
want to come in city hall and look at
[1:11:40]
them earlier, you can do that. But
>> is the timeline so favorable? We may
[1:11:46]
still be able to use real brick because
>> Yeah.
[1:11:50]
» Okay.
>> Yeah.
[1:11:51]
» They thought they had to get it in, but
when they asked for the samples, they
[1:11:55]
realized that the lead time wasn't quite
as long as they were originally told. So
[1:11:59]
that's why they're
>> they're the seller is trying to
[1:12:01]
underpromise and overd deliver.
>> Probably.
[1:12:05]
» Okay, let's move on to item C.
Approval of the sculpture garden plan.
[1:12:13]
» Okay. So, um
>> there no motion needed on either of the
[1:12:16]
last two.
>> No,
[1:12:17]
» no motion needed. Okay.
>> The public hearing is just kind of like
[1:12:20]
a public comment period and then B was
is removed from the agenda.
[1:12:28]
» Okay. the um Heritage Arch Arts
Foundation have been working hard to uh
[1:12:35]
prepare planning, irrigation, and
lighting plants u to be uh put for the
[1:12:41]
city council for approval. Um they've
been coming in and either coming in or
[1:12:46]
checking in with us weekly. Um we work
through a few things. Uh there's still a
[1:12:53]
a few outstanding items after tonight um
that are being worked on, but those will
[1:12:58]
be brought back later.
Um
[1:13:01]
so
these plans are
[1:13:07]
there will be some changes. Um for
example, there's a closet door out here
[1:13:11]
and it shows a tree planted in front of
it. There's going to be some little
[1:13:14]
things like that.
Um but uh Bob has a presentation. He'll
[1:13:20]
he'll go through some things with you
tonight and uh hopefully answer any
[1:13:25]
questions that you have um to work
towards moving uh this project forward.
[1:13:32]
You
[1:13:35]
» Thank you.
We have some fun
[1:13:40]
» sorry this Yeah, we do have some fun
updates to share with you. Um so if we
[1:13:46]
go to slide two just real quick. Um
we've uh we've met with two households
[1:13:54]
and we're at about 56% of campaign goal
that's pending right now. Two
[1:13:59]
households. Um
we're confident that things are going to
[1:14:05]
go in the right direction. Um
so uh yeah um
[1:14:11]
if we go to the next slide this uh this
was a question that was raised about
[1:14:16]
just the relative roof heights um and
the garden pavilion the gazebo um
[1:14:24]
element um right now uh stands about 20
feet 2 in um we're still going to be
[1:14:32]
getting some specs on that from a
builder and and some others that are
[1:14:36]
doing engineering um architectural
drawings. Uh but it's going to be close
[1:14:41]
to that range. Um and there were
questions about how high it was and whe
[1:14:46]
whether or not it would um um kind of be
dominant in the area. So wanted to make
[1:14:54]
sure that that was understood. Um the
next slide talks about um the safety for
[1:15:02]
the stained glass. Um, so I was able to
get some great feedback from Tom
[1:15:08]
Holdman, his team. Uh, they've been
installing stained glass and uh, 200
[1:15:14]
temples. They've got another hundred
that they're working on. Um, they just
[1:15:18]
installed in some islands. Uh, is
designed to withstand hurricane force
[1:15:22]
winds. Uh, 2x4s going 80 miles an hour.
Um, and it protect it's protected. So,
[1:15:29]
um, those those will be, uh, there for a
good long time. Now, that doesn't mean
[1:15:34]
they're indestructible, right? Somebody
who's bound and determined to wreck them
[1:15:38]
can do that, but uh, we're taking that
into account also. And so, um, let's go
[1:15:45]
to the next slide. Um, it's a familiar
face.
[1:15:52]
[laughter]
[1:15:54]
» Yeah. Um, so one of the families that we
met with uh
[1:16:00]
just suggested, you know, there's
there's somebody that's been around the
[1:16:03]
block a few times, understands,
you know, some sprinklers and and some
[1:16:08]
things doesn't need to take the role of
Emily who's been a part of this for so
[1:16:14]
long, right? But um could be um
instrumental in helping kind of some
[1:16:19]
boots on the ground kind of approach.
So, uh, you know, I it's important to
[1:16:24]
say that, uh, this is a volunteer role.
Um, huge, uh, thank you to him, right?
[1:16:32]
Um, but it's also part-time. He does
have other work to do, um, during the
[1:16:37]
day. And um so the ideas he would report
to Emily and um Heritage Arts
[1:16:43]
Foundation, one of the things that he
shared with me that I loved um our first
[1:16:48]
meeting, he said, "Bob, um if I think
something is bad for Alpine, I'm going
[1:16:53]
to say it." And you know, this whole uh
project for the last two years, it's
[1:17:00]
something that we've said and we stand
by it. We want to make sure that this is
[1:17:04]
a gift that comes to you with no
regrets. So, um, we love that about, uh,
[1:17:09]
what he said. So, uh, the role does not
revise designs, um, direct change
[1:17:16]
orders, approve costs, or replace
licensed professionals unless we
[1:17:20]
desperately need him, right? Somehow,
right? Um, so the next slide, um, this
[1:17:27]
is the part that, uh, we're pushing off.
Um, I don't know if you recall way back
[1:17:32]
when when we originally put together the
letter of uh, intent, there was a one
[1:17:38]
pager that had to do with um, donor
gifts and recognition and it only
[1:17:43]
focused on the statues. Um, and that now
is insufficient. And so I'm I'm
[1:17:52]
recommending that it be brought up uh,
next month um, and be presented here. um
[1:17:58]
it's the last thing that really kind of
remains. Um but uh you know because of
[1:18:03]
that change if we go to the next slide
I'll just share with you um this is a
[1:18:09]
quick one-page glimpse of the major
features. These are kind of four main
[1:18:15]
buckets that donor gift opportunities
fall into. Um significant elements
[1:18:21]
hardscape landscape individual elements
and then endowment. And I do want to
[1:18:27]
just go to the next slide real quick uh
because this is a slide of great
[1:18:32]
interest, right? Um this is an example
of some donor opportunities that all
[1:18:38]
relate to the maintenance ongoing
support of the garden. All right. Um and
[1:18:45]
we're refining these. Uh the numbers are
still in in kind of a a process, but uh
[1:18:52]
if there were no changes um to this,
we're pursuing funding that would be
[1:18:58]
somewhere around 169,000 per year
um perpetually
[1:19:04]
endowed and that would come to the city
every year to take care of this. It
[1:19:09]
could be a person, it could be product,
it could be all kinds of things. So, um
[1:19:14]
I this is an example of why we felt
having this discussion next month would
[1:19:20]
be helpful. So,
so um I'll turn the time over to Emily
[1:19:25]
to provide update on the three plans.
[1:19:32]
» So, um you should have a planting plan
and an irrigation plan and a lighting
[1:19:37]
plan. um spent a lot of time thinking
through making sure especially in a
[1:19:42]
drought year that we're not we're using
water wise plants. We have water wise
[1:19:46]
plants that um will frame the pavilion.
We also have this the water feature
[1:19:50]
that's come since we've last um spoken
to and then making sure that we also
[1:19:56]
have something that is giving year round
interest in the garden that is also
[1:20:00]
maintainable like that we don't have so
many things going on that it's not
[1:20:05]
maintainable you know just that and it's
visually pleasing to the eye. Um making
[1:20:11]
sure that we have drip line in place. We
know that you are an example to the city
[1:20:15]
as well. Um but we um
And then for the lighting, we like to do
[1:20:21]
more historical lighting. We've looked
into solar, but solar seems to take and
[1:20:25]
not take from my experience um of trying
to do solar. Um sometimes it goes and
[1:20:31]
sometimes it doesn't. So I feel like
doing electric is um a better solution.
[1:20:36]
So
have anything you any questions?
[1:20:43]
» Brent, do you have any questions?
>> Just in general questions. Um, I did
[1:20:48]
look up all the plants and I appreciate
that they are all drought resistant. I
[1:20:52]
was I didn't look up to see if they are
native to Utah, but I'm assuming maybe
[1:20:56]
one or two are, but I don't know if you
know that off the top of your head.
[1:21:00]
» Well, there are there are some that are,
and there's some that, you know,
[1:21:03]
obviously the poppies are native to
here. Um, but there are some that are
[1:21:07]
and some that aren't,
>> but a lot of them are.
[1:21:11]
» Nice.
>> We did request from the city and found
[1:21:14]
on the website um an approved set of
that the city puts out and that became
[1:21:20]
the basis for this but then we had to
expand because that list was kind of for
[1:21:26]
sidewalks I guess
>> park strips. Yeah.
[1:21:29]
» Yeah.
>> And then I did want to just bring up
[1:21:32]
those three trees again. I know that
that was brought up last time and I was
[1:21:37]
curious what your thoughts are because I
feel like if we're being wise stewards,
[1:21:41]
why would we cut down
perfectly great trees to replace them
[1:21:46]
with less mature trees? So, I don't know
if you have thoughts on that. Well, I'm
[1:21:50]
hoping that we can keep we obviously in
the plan I have to keep um the trees on
[1:21:55]
the east side of the building, but in
order to create an environment that
[1:21:59]
feels connected,
having something in the middle of
[1:22:03]
something that is more formal,
especially with the formal building that
[1:22:07]
we have, this this building itself is a
formal building. Um, having that formal
[1:22:12]
design is a lot more appealing to the
eye than having a tree that's just
[1:22:17]
shooting up in the middle of a design if
that makes sense.
[1:22:20]
» No, that makes sense. I just feel I just
it's sad to me that we would cut down
[1:22:24]
those
>> How old are those trees, Shane? Do you
[1:22:27]
know?
>> Approximately 30 years.
[1:22:32]
» Um, that was just one of my concerns um
there. And then you mentioned that it
[1:22:36]
would be $169,000
per year to take care of the garden. Did
[1:22:40]
I understand that correctly?
>> No. Okay.
[1:22:43]
» No. So [laughter]
I was like, "Wow, that's a lot. I can
[1:22:47]
come and weed it for free."
>> So that represents the total of gift
[1:22:52]
opportunities at at the present time.
Okay.
[1:22:55]
» That we have yet to really kind of
finalize and put together and present to
[1:22:59]
you next month.
>> Okay. Okay, that makes sense. Um, and
[1:23:03]
you mentioned the safety protecting the
glass. I know that other people have had
[1:23:06]
a concern about the sculptures. I don't
know if you have any thoughts on that.
[1:23:11]
» They'll withstand hurricanes also. Um,
no. And in, you know, lots of experience
[1:23:17]
with the um the Adonis bronze, anchoring
those in incredible ways. Um, all of
[1:23:23]
that will be part of the gift that comes
from the private sector. So, it's the
[1:23:28]
it's the sculptures, it's the pedestal,
it's the installation, everything that
[1:23:31]
kind of goes with it. They go they go
deep enough into the ground past that
[1:23:35]
frost point and everything. So, they're
they're they're solid.
[1:23:38]
» Have you have you seen those?
>> Yes, I have. I just some other people
[1:23:42]
had had concerns, so I thought I would
just
[1:23:44]
» So, we have we have sculptures already
at at the Alpine Art Center. Have you
[1:23:47]
ever had any issues with vandalism
there? And I know they're all throughout
[1:23:51]
Utah.
>> People climb on.
[1:23:53]
» People can do it, but I don't think it's
going to be a draw.
[1:23:55]
» Yeah. the the the the scariest part that
we have that we've talked about just a
[1:24:00]
little bit with Shane was, you know,
that we were afraid that we're setting
[1:24:04]
up a buffet for deer.
>> Um, and so
[1:24:08]
» dear love this block for some reason.
>> So there there may be an additional
[1:24:13]
giving opportunity that is put on our
list that has to do with the fence.
[1:24:18]
» So just just a heads up, but we'll bring
that back to you if that's the case.
[1:24:21]
Right. And then timeline wise, I know at
one point the discussion was October. We
[1:24:27]
were going to, but now, as far as I
understand, we're going to wait till
[1:24:30]
maybe the spring and once we have a
percentage of the money committed. Is
[1:24:34]
that correct?
>> Yes. Um, and so the next slide. Um,
[1:24:38]
where is it? It's just past that.
>> I did have questions about the garden.
[1:24:42]
If you
>> Oh, sorry. Were we just talking about
[1:24:44]
the garden? I apologize. You can the
timeline.
[1:24:47]
» Okay. Um, I I bringing up the deer. I
know I have a list that I utilize for
[1:24:53]
deer resistant and I know you're
familiar because you do great work here
[1:24:57]
in Utah all the time. Are is there a
general trend towards using deer
[1:25:00]
resistant like boxwoods and junipers?
They don't eat.
[1:25:03]
» Yeah, they will not eat those. And um
the only thing I put in the garden that
[1:25:08]
the deer would eat. There are just a few
roses to complement the red in the in
[1:25:14]
our in the rotunda because we need that
red color. Um but that is the only thing
[1:25:19]
in there. There's the peonies they won't
eat. Everything else they're not
[1:25:22]
touching.
>> Perfect.
[1:25:23]
» As far as Well, they might eat it. I
have to say that because I'm not a deer.
[1:25:27]
But I just It's really weird because
I've actually planted a lot on your
[1:25:30]
hillside and the deer have eaten some
things they don't normally eat on one
[1:25:34]
side of the hill and not on the other.
So, it I can say that they I don't know
[1:25:38]
if they will or they won't, but they're
not supposed to. Let's just say that.
[1:25:42]
» The the operative word is resistant
because nothing is deerroof. Exactly.
[1:25:46]
Right.
>> Not even offense. Okay. Um, the other
[1:25:50]
thing was that caught my eye cuz I um I
went to Europe and I discovered that I'm
[1:25:56]
an English gardener, meaning I let
nature take the lead, but my husband is
[1:26:01]
a French gardener, so everything is
squared off and like and so if you go
[1:26:05]
back to this slide, the um maintainable
edges, can you speak to me about what
[1:26:10]
does that mean to you as far as
maintenance goes? Maintainable edges.
[1:26:15]
» Yes. So, we do have some hedges in here.
Also, a very clean I feel like when you
[1:26:19]
have something that's done one time,
it's one and done rather than having to
[1:26:23]
go back over and over and over. When you
have plants that are coming up all over
[1:26:27]
a perennial, which would be more English
to be honest, I know because the English
[1:26:30]
is maintenance. Let's talk about it as
that in those words. It's a maintenance
[1:26:33]
thing. You have a lot more maintenance
that goes into an English garden than
[1:26:36]
you do a French garden just because of
how many plants they usually use that
[1:26:41]
are diverse,
>> right? So maintainable edges, is that
[1:26:45]
including like even um the turf edges or
are you talking about specifically like
[1:26:51]
the hedges? Like what what does that
mean to you? Like edges, maintainable
[1:26:55]
hedges.
>> So um for instance, I really try to to
[1:27:00]
um plant the garden beds so that there
are a lot of the same things planted in
[1:27:04]
the same area.
>> Okay.
[1:27:06]
» So let's say hydrangeas, the d the
droughtresistant hydrangeas. um planting
[1:27:13]
masses of them in one area so they can
be cut back at one time. They can be
[1:27:17]
hedged back. That's a maintainable edge
to me in that way.
[1:27:19]
» Okay.
>> Does that make sense?
[1:27:21]
» Yes. Yes. I just want to make sure that
I was connecting the dots because
[1:27:26]
trimming is a big discussion item in our
home. So,
[1:27:29]
» just want to make sure it's easy because
those that love straight lines, it needs
[1:27:32]
to be easy. And I planted all the wrong
things for the French gardener. I really
[1:27:36]
did. So, I've learned now. But just
especially also around the rotunda area
[1:27:42]
making sure that it's complimementaryary
when you're walking all the way around
[1:27:44]
it you're seeing similar things yet okay
there's different sculptures so there's
[1:27:48]
different thing different ways to have
those same items
[1:27:51]
» display okay that is good to know
because um there is concern that our our
[1:27:57]
staff what is their what is their
commitment to maintain the garden and so
[1:28:01]
that's I told them that we've we've
talked about this from the very
[1:28:04]
beginning so want to make sure we
brought that up in the public meeting
[1:28:07]
and So we can get the word out to the
staff that they're not going to like
[1:28:11]
just be trimming and weeding and like
live live in our little sculpture garden
[1:28:15]
because we've made it easy to care for.
>> Yeah.
[1:28:18]
» You know, I I know that there is in the
works um a historic committee that is
[1:28:22]
being formed. I I don't know the exact
name of the committee. Um but
[1:28:27]
[clears throat] uh uh wasn't it just
>> wasn't just Arts and his mother
[1:28:32]
» are actually serving on that and they're
looking forward to
[1:28:37]
» Yes.
>> tending to property like this,
[1:28:39]
» right?
>> So there's a volunteer force that wants
[1:28:41]
to get involved with this as well.
>> Yeah, it's super exciting. Um um I I
[1:28:46]
recently watched a program which I'll
I'll share in a different setting but
[1:28:51]
where we saw the finished product of
Emily's work and so I think it will give
[1:28:55]
you guys a really good idea of what
she's talking about the the consistency
[1:28:59]
of the same plants and those type of
things to get a really consistent feel
[1:29:03]
and that it's easier to maintain because
like I guess you're saying you go out
[1:29:07]
there once and everything's done once
instead of those this idea of blooming
[1:29:12]
all year long. you've got all this stuff
to take care of all year long whereas
[1:29:16]
there just one fell swoop you can get
things cleaned up or whatever.
[1:29:20]
» Well, and that's tricky because you also
need to have something that is peing
[1:29:24]
interest through the seasons, right? So,
it is tricky but by having a repetition
[1:29:30]
for hope that the way I put everything
in it should that should be able to be
[1:29:34]
maintainable. Okay.
>> It doesn't mean it's maintenanceree but
[1:29:37]
it's maintainable.
>> Right. Right. As as good as as close as
[1:29:40]
we can get to. Thank you. That was very
helpful. And again, it's really
[1:29:44]
exciting. Um, very exciting.
>> Just along those lines, it'll be awesome
[1:29:51]
to have some help with like a
maintenance plan because we don't really
[1:29:55]
have a gardener on staff. We don't have
a forester. You know, I'm sure in my
[1:30:00]
mind anyway, trimming stuff off at the
right point in time and and in the right
[1:30:06]
place and not overdoing it is very
important to have it look beautiful. I I
[1:30:10]
think the Thanksgiving point I think
>> yeah our our guys probably couldn't make
[1:30:14]
it look that nice. [laughter]
>> So some
[1:30:18]
» it's more complicated than it looks as
I've learned.
[1:30:20]
» Yeah, they they do an awesome job. So
we'll need help.
[1:30:23]
» So if we could have a maintenance plan.
I wrote that out.
[1:30:26]
» Perfect. Thank you so much. You're
welcome.
[1:30:30]
» I think Andrew did you have
>> Go ahead. Bob Well, just the the two
[1:30:36]
final Well, the three final slides,
right? So, so this right here is a big
[1:30:42]
significant um help I think. Um and I
appreciate Shane um staying with me,
[1:30:49]
continuing to kind of bring this topic
up about how much money needs to be
[1:30:54]
raised before it triggers the excavation
or some other site prep, right? Um, and
[1:31:00]
so, uh, we [clears throat] actually came
to an understanding that look, um, let's
[1:31:06]
just say we're not going to touch this
property.
[1:31:10]
We'll be doing a lot of things off the
property, but we won't we won't do
[1:31:14]
anything until the new year. Um, and so
what we're going to end up having is 90%
[1:31:22]
of the money in January. Um, we're
already at 56% or not booked, but
[1:31:30]
Right. Um and so I think what this does
is it um allows kind of the city to take
[1:31:36]
a take a breath. Um it ensures that
there won't be egg on anyone's face that
[1:31:42]
the project has the funding to go
forward. And so I I just wanted to share
[1:31:47]
with you that that we've made an
adjustment just this week um that these
[1:31:51]
two conditions need to be met. Um
weather ready
[1:31:57]
um at or above 90% that's raised. Um and
it'll be in the new year as soon as as
[1:32:03]
soon as the weather permits. It means
we're going to scramble. Um but um if
[1:32:08]
that is the best way to do it, then
we'll do that.
[1:32:12]
» And and Lon was in here with Bob
yesterday and he gave what I thought was
[1:32:17]
some great advice in that area. And I
think that's
[1:32:21]
» that's helpful
>> help,
[1:32:24]
» you know,
>> for sure
[1:32:25]
» these guys come to that decision. So, it
wasn't my decision. It's about what to
[1:32:29]
say.
>> Oh, for sure.
[1:32:32]
» Okay, sir. Did you have more questions?
>> No, that actually answered my question.
[1:32:35]
» Thanks for doing it. Just gratitude.
Thanks, Lawn, for helping. I hope your
[1:32:39]
surgery went well. Um, and uh, no, I
just I'm We're really grateful. This is
[1:32:45]
Some people don't understand or they
don't know that these types of things
[1:32:49]
cement for generations
uh, our heritage, our identity. um it's
[1:32:54]
done through art that endures a really
long time. So, thank you. Look forward
[1:32:58]
to supporting it.
Oh, and if uh the tree is an issue,
[1:33:04]
uh I bet you could get around that in
two ways. Utilizing the wood or I think
[1:33:09]
that's a fine. Do you Are you okay with
that idea?
[1:33:11]
» I mean, that's a great idea.
>> I mean, of things.
[1:33:15]
» It is an asht tree, though. I looked at
it. It doesn't have the greatest quality
[1:33:19]
wood. It grows fast and
>> you can build like benches or something.
[1:33:23]
» So, we'll we'll take that offline. Sorry
to digress. Sorry.
[1:33:27]
» Thank you for all your
>> If you want me to say ash trees right
[1:33:30]
now, they're not even allowing us to
plant them. I not coming out of right
[1:33:33]
now they're they're struggling and um
because in in Colorado right now they're
[1:33:39]
» [clears throat]
>> um they are dying and they're dying in
[1:33:42]
large population. So, FYI there it's a
harder tree.
[1:33:47]
This has been a motion. Any other
>> question? Tough topics. [laughter]
[1:33:51]
» No further questions. I'll entertain a
motion.
[1:33:53]
» I move to approve the sculpture garden
planting, irrigation, and lighting plan.
[1:33:57]
» Is there a second?
>> I'll second it.
[1:33:59]
» Okay. Move by Councilman Rumler,
seconded by Councilman Young. If there's
[1:34:04]
no further discussions, we'll proceed
with the roll call vote.
[1:34:07]
» Drew Young, yes. Brent Rumler, yes.
>> Sir Blackwell, yes.
[1:34:09]
» Chrissy Henman, yes.
>> Okay, motion passes. Let's move on to
[1:34:14]
the Moy Park landscaping plan.
[applause]
[1:34:21]
» Okay. Um it's on a different landscape
project.
[1:34:26]
Uh so we've been working on improvements
at Moy Park uh for a while now. We uh
[1:34:34]
last fall we completed the new curbon
gutter and the parking areas and all the
[1:34:39]
asphalt and kind of got all the lines
set up to accept landscape.
[1:34:44]
Um so uh the mayor worked with a
volunteer to actually put a planning
[1:34:50]
plan together that we wanted to bring um
for consideration for approval from the
[1:34:56]
council. Um
there's a little bit of a timing thing.
[1:35:01]
We're trying to include this as a
project for the day of service, which is
[1:35:05]
September 12th this year. Um there's a
few times we had volunteers help. Uh
[1:35:12]
first major one I remember was Creekide
Park. We had a lot of residents come and
[1:35:16]
help plant trees. Um we purchased them
inhouse to save money and then had
[1:35:21]
volunteers help plant them. They enjoyed
that. And then we did a a project on the
[1:35:26]
day of service a few years ago with
roundabout uh the roundabout landscaping
[1:35:31]
and several of them commented they
really appreciated the fact that every
[1:35:35]
time they go through the roundabout they
can look at a plan and say I was
[1:35:38]
involved with planning that plant. Um so
u we brought this before you today. Um
[1:35:46]
some of the stuff on that plan is a
little bit hard to read. You really have
[1:35:50]
to zoom in. It's it's kind of tough. I'm
sure as a volunteer she didn't have
[1:35:55]
access to everything that maybe a
someone else might have, but um if you
[1:36:00]
kind of read it close, you can tell
what's going on there.
[1:36:03]
» So, I spoke with her. This is someone
who is a master gardener and is getting
[1:36:09]
um her degree in landscape architect
design and this is part of one of her
[1:36:14]
projects and um work with her adviserss
on it. The goal was to have um I think
[1:36:20]
it's the same as before is that to have
something blooming throughout this
[1:36:25]
season. Um and you know my main
directive was we want something that
[1:36:30]
looks nice, lowmaintenance and drought
resistant. Um and so with that
[1:36:35]
directive, this is what they came up
with.
[1:36:40]
» Yeah. And then um just kind of along
with that uh there's a a few other
[1:36:45]
things um for consideration in the park.
Um
[1:36:50]
first [clears throat] of all, we planned
some fencing. There's that solid fencing
[1:36:53]
on the west side as you come into the
park. Um continuing that north and then
[1:36:59]
over on the other side of the the
entrance as well. Um, there are a couple
[1:37:07]
of gates
that
[1:37:10]
go into the backyards of private
property. The one doesn't look like it's
[1:37:15]
been used for a long long time. Um, the
other one I I know that they do use it
[1:37:23]
and so it might be something that we'll
have to deal with, you know, in moving
[1:37:28]
this fence portion of the project
forward.
[1:37:32]
Uh Shane, it's it's not the property
owners. It's the Moy Park fence that has
[1:37:36]
a opening.
>> I don't know. I'm assuming the city put
[1:37:40]
the fence the the fence has been in as
long as I've been around.
[1:37:44]
» Um I don't know.
>> Maybe we just ask them before.
[1:37:48]
» Yeah. I don't know who I don't know if
the city put it in. I don't know if
[1:37:52]
» it looks like the both uh both sides of
the road have the same fence. So I would
[1:37:56]
assume it was a city project.
>> I know your mother-in-law would know. I
[1:37:59]
wish she was still here to tell us.
>> Yeah,
[1:38:02]
» maybe someone you she knows or someone
else could tell us,
[1:38:05]
» right?
So, let's see that. There's that. Um uh
[1:38:12]
I was at a meeting at Oram City recently
and they have their new city hall and
[1:38:17]
it's very modern. It's different than
this, but I saw something there that I
[1:38:20]
thought could work really well here. Um
it's
[1:38:26]
they've taken um like metal put metal
borders in and then they have this
[1:38:32]
gravel that's compacted so hard it's
almost like concrete but not quite but
[1:38:37]
it's very like you're not rubbing it off
your feet every time you walk through
[1:38:41]
it. I thought it was pretty neat the way
they put it in there in this very formal
[1:38:46]
setting. Um so I took Lannon over there.
We looked at it and we think something
[1:38:51]
like this may be passed going up the
cabins. Um, which was part of the plan
[1:38:56]
that I also included in the packet.
Maybe not in that exact configuration,
[1:39:01]
but something like that I think could
could be good. And I think it would help
[1:39:06]
keep the weeds down in some of that
area, too.
[1:39:10]
» Can you point to that area with your
mouse? I don't know exactly what you're
[1:39:13]
speaking. Yeah. The little trails kind
of up on the north end but below the
[1:39:17]
caretaker house over by the little
cabins.
[1:39:22]
» Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Kind of over in there. Yeah.
[1:39:25]
» Yeah.
>> Yeah.
[1:39:27]
Um so there's that. Uh the plan also
called for some split rail fence. This
[1:39:34]
would be just like the stuff at the
poppies. Um but it makes sense to get
[1:39:39]
some of this other stuff in before that
goes in so it's not in the way.
[1:39:44]
Um,
let's see. A resident donated a couple
[1:39:48]
of uh pieces of antique farm equipment.
Um,
[1:39:53]
it's not been moved up there yet, but um
the thought was to maybe put it in kind
[1:39:59]
of that circle area.
If you want to look at it, it's over on
[1:40:02]
Red Pine Drive. You probably walk by it
all the time.
[1:40:06]
» There's also some on the um Alpine
Oh, come on. art center property. That's
[1:40:14]
there's Oh, yeah. There's out along
their back. Not that you're looking for
[1:40:18]
donations, but
>> but there's some out there.
[1:40:20]
» There is more. It's coming out of the
weeds. Oh,
[1:40:24]
» really?
>> Literally.
[1:40:25]
» Yeah. Okay. Uh we still need to stripe
the parking lot. Uh there's two entrance
[1:40:32]
signs. It feels like one of those could
come out and still say the same thing if
[1:40:38]
somebody wanted to give their opinion on
which one should stay.
[1:40:41]
» Kaden, can you go up to
>> I hope you won't be offended, but have
[1:40:44]
you done a swept analysis on your
parking lot?
[1:40:48]
» I'm sure it's 100%.
>> Come on, Jason. Where's the laugh? There
[1:40:51]
he's laughing.
>> Angle parking. There's a good turnaround
[1:40:54]
up there. Um I'm sure it's it's great.
Uh let's see.
[1:41:02]
And then um
we had a suggestion there's a large tree
[1:41:08]
that's just directly south of the cabins
that maybe that could get taken out and
[1:41:15]
give more visibility to those cabins and
just a couple things like that. So
[1:41:20]
there's some things on the table. The
one we're really kind of focused on
[1:41:23]
right now is trying to get the planning
plan um approved so that we can um you
[1:41:30]
know have that as part of that day of
service.
[1:41:33]
» Does anybody have questions? Oh my gosh,
we might be done.
[1:41:38]
» So why [snorts] why can you just remind
us why this this improvement was
[1:41:44]
a priority when we're doing the park
master plan and put up other park
[1:41:49]
projects?
Um it's been something that's been on
[1:41:54]
the table for quite a while actually.
>> We also have a donation specifically for
[1:42:01]
this park and so with um the 911
>> day of service coming. Um but yeah, this
[1:42:08]
is the plan's been in the works for a
long time.
[1:42:11]
» Yeah, I know we talked about it the last
city council. It's been a long time. No,
[1:42:14]
I mean I think this um this plan itself
we've been working on since last summer
[1:42:19]
asking her to work on it.
>> So I mean the prior city council.
[1:42:22]
» Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. and then um just was
waiting for her to get the right class
[1:42:27]
to be able to implement it all and to
have the um help of her adviserss
[1:42:32]
um with what we had suggested and what
we needed mainly that it be low
[1:42:37]
maintenance that we wanted it to be you
know to look good and you know and so
[1:42:42]
she um felt more comfortable doing it
with her adviserss and so we had to wait
[1:42:46]
till she had that class and so then um
along with everything else really the
[1:42:52]
and because of the money coming through
and with 911 day of service, we're
[1:42:56]
actually going to have people and I'm
with Shane. I've had several people go,
[1:43:00]
you know, my kids help plant those and
it's so cool that they're thriving now,
[1:43:05]
you know, and so we figured this would
be a similar opportunity that, you know,
[1:43:09]
they can drive by and say, "Hey, you
know, I help with this." So, it's just a
[1:43:12]
great way to get the community involved.
>> Have you considered involving the Moyal
[1:43:17]
family? because I know they're very
>> I talked to um why can't I think of her
[1:43:23]
name
>> I talked to Wanita and um obviously you
[1:43:28]
know I'm going to talk to Kathleen I see
Suzanne here so yes you can come and
[1:43:32]
make a comment in just a second um but
no I talked to Wanita because she's the
[1:43:36]
one that usually has um since Kathleen's
passing and even before um one you know
[1:43:42]
she's the one that I've been in contact
with the most about Mo Park she'll like
[1:43:45]
call me about specific things or if
somebody's trying to I guess with one of
[1:43:51]
the gates people were moving things and
there were some issues and so she called
[1:43:57]
um and she's a direct descendant. I told
her about this plan and she she was like
[1:44:02]
yeah that looks great. So
>> no I meant family to come and want
[1:44:06]
because they'll want to help. This is
their great great grandfather's farm.
[1:44:10]
Oh, you have okay that's what I meant.
Not just did she like the plant but do
[1:44:14]
they want to help with the planting?
>> Yes. No, but yes, they will. And we've
[1:44:19]
been talking with a couple other staff
directly involved with the Moy Park.
[1:44:23]
With Moy Park, it's very um
>> Yeah.
[1:44:26]
» Okay.
>> Anyways, Suzanne, did you have a comment
[1:44:28]
that you wanted to make? Suzanne
um is a direct descendant of John Romoy.
[1:44:35]
She's Kathleen's sister.
>> No, she's my sister.
[1:44:39]
» Okay. Kathleen is her sister.
I was up to the park today
[1:44:46]
and um Troy was up there digging, doing
irrigation connections,
[1:44:51]
telling me about the planting that you
want to do. And I'm going, a bigger
[1:44:57]
concern for Moyal Park is not all this
roof stuff. It's putting a security
[1:45:03]
system on that building. One of these
days, some of your cute little teenagers
[1:45:09]
who blow up the toilets in Alpine City
are going to access that house and
[1:45:17]
it could be destructive.
So, my my feeling is put all the split
[1:45:23]
rail fences you want in, put all the
plants you want in, they're going to die
[1:45:28]
anyway.
um unless you put sage brush in and
[1:45:33]
that's more conducive to the time
period. But my feeling is,
[1:45:39]
you know, my sister has contributed a
large sum of money to that park. Let's
[1:45:45]
secure the building.
Family and friends have contributed
[1:45:50]
valuable artifacts in that house.
And last summer we were up there, there
[1:45:59]
were no caretakers weren't there. You
could walk right in the house because
[1:46:03]
the door was open. So, good luck.
>> Thank you.
[1:46:07]
» Thank you.
>> Good point.
[1:46:09]
» It's a good point.
>> Um I I do have a few questions and
[1:46:14]
comments. Um I have been there once
before when the house was unlocked. We
[1:46:18]
live really close to theirs, so my kids
and I, we enjoyed that park a lot. Um, I
[1:46:23]
did look up all these plants as well and
all of them are drought resistant. So,
[1:46:28]
I'm hoping that they won't need a ton of
water and that they won't die. But I I
[1:46:32]
was I think it would have been really
great if they had all been native to
[1:46:36]
Utah. Um, and none of them are, but
that's that's all right. I'm really
[1:46:40]
grateful that someone is willing to
volunteer their time to put together
[1:46:44]
this plan and to come and help plant
these and beautify that park. So, I I
[1:46:48]
appreciate that. So just so I understand
correctly all of the landscape plan are
[1:46:53]
the plants being donated like or just
through the donation that's what that's
[1:46:58]
what's funding this I just want to
understand the funding side it was all
[1:47:02]
» all the improvements today haven't so
the donation came after the improvements
[1:47:09]
that have been done today so we haven't
spent any of the donation money
[1:47:13]
» so far so it's all available
>> the planting will be part of it and then
[1:47:17]
I'm sure there'll be I And there's a
lot, you know,
[1:47:21]
can you go page above? It talked about
all the things that the improvements
[1:47:24]
that we wanted to do. So, we would just
need to um
[1:47:30]
add, you know, security on the main
house.
[1:47:34]
» Yeah, it's a great idea. Um I do like
the pathways that you're talking about,
[1:47:38]
Shane. My brother actually just
installed those exact same ones at his
[1:47:41]
house and they're they're awesome. Um,
and then I was just curious with there
[1:47:45]
are some trails kind of on the east side
if you go down little ways. Are those
[1:47:49]
going to be cleared out because they
used to be more
[1:47:53]
» finded and accessible? And I mean, I'm
happy to help with that. I'll take my
[1:47:58]
kids over there and do it, but I didn't
know if that was a part of the plan for
[1:48:00]
the day.
>> It was just this area just because of
[1:48:04]
the new asphalt and all the improvements
that they had made. Can you go up that
[1:48:07]
one page,
>> Kayen? Can you go up?
[1:48:11]
Uh so because of all the new work that
had been done with the asphalt and doing
[1:48:17]
all of that. Um we're just taking
advantage of the labor that we have. But
[1:48:23]
that's definitely something that if you
wanted to undertake, I'm sure Troy would
[1:48:26]
work with you.
>> Okay.
[1:48:28]
» I'm thinking of that project list you
started too.
[1:48:30]
» Oh yeah. With for Alpine Youth Council.
>> Oh yeah. Okay. I'll put it I'll make
[1:48:35]
note of that. Okay. Those are
>> even youth groups. You know, we could do
[1:48:38]
it on just serve and put it up there and
say, "Hey, if you guys need a service
[1:48:42]
project, why don't you come and help
clear out the space and just do it until
[1:48:45]
it gets done?"
>> Yeah, that'd be great. Okay,
[1:48:48]
» time.
>> Thank you.
[1:48:50]
» Okay, any other questions?
>> Um, I I have a question regarding two
[1:48:54]
things. Um, I'll refer back to the
comment about security. I also had that
[1:48:59]
experience. Um, we had an appointment,
but due to a miscommunication, um, we
[1:49:04]
gave ourselves a self- tour. So I I
understand your concern. That was um I
[1:49:11]
think we can con agree with that. The
second thing though was um we've had
[1:49:16]
other and Andrew's brought them to our
attention but other the historic
[1:49:19]
committee that we've talked about. We
have these monuments um that have been
[1:49:24]
established like remember that when you
talked about the cemetery. I was
[1:49:28]
thinking, wouldn't it be good to like
have like a more localized place for
[1:49:32]
these monuments like rather than in the
middle of that cemetery like
[1:49:38]
or is this specifically geared only Moy
and anything related to him?
[1:49:44]
» This is pretty much
>> You need your microphone on
[1:49:49]
» that.
>> You need your microphone. Sorry. So, um,
[1:49:56]
yes, my understanding is Mo Park is
about the family and John Ro, but those
[1:50:02]
homes that have been put on there,
though, those weren't his. Those have
[1:50:06]
come from other parts of Alpine. So,
>> you know what I'm talking about. You You
[1:50:09]
had a monument in the middle of the new
part that is sort of lopsided and
[1:50:13]
falling apart. And it's like we could
have a more like
[1:50:17]
» the one that said you name.
>> Oh yeah.
[1:50:21]
» That's what she's talking about.
>> Tell me what you're referring to.
[1:50:24]
» Like should we relocate it here where we
have more other historic things that
[1:50:27]
relate back to Alpine.
>> Oh, I see. You're talking about the
[1:50:29]
woman's monument in the cemetery.
Bringing it here.
[1:50:31]
» That was just the first thing that came
to mind is that when you go here, you're
[1:50:35]
learning all about Alpine history. And
when you go to the cemetery, you're not
[1:50:39]
you're you're visiting your loved ones
kind of. It's really not Alpine history
[1:50:43]
though. When you go there in the home,
you're learning about John Ra Moy and
[1:50:48]
his journey of helping with the temple
and you know his journey being here, but
[1:50:53]
it's not really about the history of
Alpine. It's more about
[1:50:56]
» General Moy and his family.
>> But to your point, there's those those
[1:51:00]
other cabins that have been moved on
>> and um you know, the Salt Lake Temple is
[1:51:06]
not necessarily an alpine. So we could
and he was a pioneer.
[1:51:10]
» Yeah. No, I didn't say it was about
Alpine. I said it's more about John
[1:51:12]
Romo. It's more of a tribute to him and
the family.
[1:51:15]
» Yes, for sure. The house is, but there's
other things and like the farm
[1:51:19]
equipment, too. I I'm just saying like,
should we try to make this a place with
[1:51:24]
lots of history? The prominent most
important thing is about this particular
[1:51:30]
resident of Alpine, but like to have it
scattered throughout our city just
[1:51:34]
seemed a little disorganized. for being
an accountant, we like to think
[1:51:39]
categorize things. So, historic things
could go here.
[1:51:42]
» I think it's a good idea. I think it's
something that we can um talk to the
[1:51:45]
family about and see.
>> Yeah. Get their feedback for sure. Okay.
[1:51:49]
» Okay. Sounds good.
>> Oh, also, you had talked to us about an
[1:51:53]
angled parking, but we ended up with
straight.
[1:51:55]
» No, it's angled. It's just not been
painted.
[1:51:57]
» You really do want this one.
>> No, no, no. I really did see her. I I
[1:52:01]
saw the drawing and it had straight. I'm
like, what happened? You asked us about
[1:52:05]
the angle. I did remember that one. is
an old one.
[1:52:08]
» That's the the the master plan is kind
of handdrawn.
[1:52:11]
» Where is that? I'm not imagining.
>> No, it's Go one more down.
[1:52:15]
» It's that one. Yeah. Go down.
>> So, this one did show 90° parking
[1:52:20]
» and and parallel right there.
>> Yeah. And we do have some parallel
[1:52:24]
parking there. It's just not striped
yet. But the angle parking fit better.
[1:52:29]
» Right. I do I remember that whole
discussion. So, we we are doing that.
[1:52:32]
This is inaccurate.
>> Correct. Do we need to like note that
[1:52:36]
that it's inaccurate?
>> What we're approving is the
[1:52:38]
» this was done
>> years ago.
[1:52:41]
» Oh, it's already been approved.
>> And if you go back up to the other page,
[1:52:44]
» we're just talking about the native the
anything alive.
[1:52:47]
» We've been working off of this plan
>> as just kind of a concept and
[1:52:52]
implementing different things up there.
>> Okay, then I'll stop worrying about that
[1:52:56]
stuff then. Thank you.
>> So, it's really just about the
[1:52:59]
landscaping today. So, if there's no
further questions regarding
[1:53:03]
» Oh, since you said landscaping in when I
was doing all my um research on the
[1:53:07]
water conservation, they say six inches
of mulch. So, please let's have six to
[1:53:13]
eight inches because it deteriorates
over time.
[1:53:16]
» Okay. Andrew, did you have a question?
>> I just We do a motion right now, right
[1:53:20]
on this is
>> Yes. But do you have a question right
[1:53:22]
now?
>> I was going to just offer Are you all
[1:53:24]
okay? We
>> If you would Yes, I will entertain a
[1:53:27]
motion. Go ahead.
>> Okay. I was going to do some discussion
[1:53:30]
first. I I hope this is input from our
six city councelor. Okay, I'll do the
[1:53:35]
motion. Here we go. I move to approve
the Moy Pike Moy Park landscape planting
[1:53:41]
plan with the following conditions and
changes to prioritize security first as
[1:53:48]
the first priority.
[1:53:52]
Is there a second?
Okay, the motion dies. Is there a
[1:53:58]
substitute? Is there another motion?
>> Andrew, I think
[1:54:02]
» I think the security is very important.
I just want to say I think the security
[1:54:06]
is very important and I think it's
something that we will do. I I know
[1:54:09]
we'll do, but this is time is of the
essence and that we need this approved
[1:54:16]
so we can source these plants and have
it ready by the 12th. So to say that the
[1:54:21]
priority is security,
>> I can rephrase it. I can rephrase it.
[1:54:24]
You want me to rephrase it and just
include it as one of the uh
[1:54:26]
» Yes.
>> Okay. Sorry. Will you kind of take me
[1:54:28]
off guard? Just
>> But it's landscaping though. This is
[1:54:30]
only about landscaping. We don't have
anything.
[1:54:33]
» Can we add it? This is what I was going
to discuss. Are you all okay if we add
[1:54:36]
it?
>> We don't have anything on the agenda. So
[1:54:39]
if you we could bring it back and add
it, but like you we have all these other
[1:54:43]
things on it that they want to do, but
this is only for the landscaping plan.
[1:54:48]
» Right. Right. And I think this is good.
>> And the security on the building is
[1:54:51]
nothing to do with it. It's not noticed,
>> right?
[1:54:54]
» So, you can't make a motion on something
that's not noticed.
[1:54:56]
» Sure. Sure. All I just
>> Let's just Let's just ask our staff now
[1:55:00]
to look into potential security options,
which I think they're already,
[1:55:04]
» right? And uh well, I was going to
discuss first. You just wanted to get it
[1:55:07]
done, so I went straight to the motion.
I realized it wasn't well thought out,
[1:55:10]
but either way, um the security is not
that expensive. We just It's
[1:55:15]
» No, it's not.
>> It's really easy now. It's not a thing
[1:55:18]
of it's not going to get done, but right
now what we have noticed is the
[1:55:21]
landscaping plan. I'm pretty sure
Shane's going to be working on that
[1:55:25]
security thing as soon as possible. But
like I said with this, the reason it's
[1:55:29]
here is we need it approved so we can
source the plants and plan it according
[1:55:33]
to the plan.
>> Right. Right. I wasn't taking away any
[1:55:35]
of that. Wasn't
>> Okay.
[1:55:37]
» I think we only have the first one. Go.
>> Right. Right. Are are you all okay?
[1:55:41]
Because this is what was going to be the
discussion. Are we okay if we put it in
[1:55:43]
as because I I really uh respect what
she said and I think
[1:55:47]
» I think we all do. We're all in
agreement.
[1:55:49]
» So, how can how can we include it in
some way that
[1:55:52]
» we I will work with Shane. That's a
directive that we'll have.
[1:55:55]
» But this is only about landscaping
security of the building has nothing to
[1:55:59]
do with the landscaping and that's
what's noticed to the public that we're
[1:56:02]
going to be making a decision on today.
>> I understand.
[1:56:05]
» But I think the security be, you know,
as you said, as long as it's below a
[1:56:08]
certain amount, we can move forward with
it.
[1:56:10]
» Okay.
It doesn't have to come to council to be
[1:56:14]
approved. I wonder what's the limit.
Seven grand, five grand, 15 grand, 15.
[1:56:18]
» 15.
>> There are lots of great security systems
[1:56:20]
out there.
>> Yeah.
[1:56:21]
» Well, okay. Since you guys have the
motion,
[1:56:22]
» I'm not worried about it.
>> I'm not against any of this. I love the
[1:56:25]
Moyal family. I love the park. I think
anything we can do to beautify it, to
[1:56:28]
get our kids to never forget it,
constantly go up.
[1:56:31]
» Did you have a motion?
>> I'll move to approve the Moy Park
[1:56:33]
landscape planting plan.
>> Okay. Is there a second?
[1:56:36]
» I'll second that.
>> It's been moved by Councilman Remler,
[1:56:39]
seconded by Councilwoman Blackwell. Any
further discussion on the motion?
[1:56:44]
» If not, we'll proceed with the roll.
>> Just follow up on the security one.
[1:56:48]
Andrew Young, yes.
>> Brent Roma, yes.
[1:56:50]
» Sarah Blackwell, yes.
>> Chrissy Edamman, yes.
[1:56:52]
» Okay, motion passes.
>> I'd like to make a motion.
[1:56:57]
I move that we go into close session to
discuss land acquisition.
[1:57:02]
» Is there a second?
>> Mayor, were we going to talk about item
[1:57:05]
D from the work session before we did
that?
[1:57:08]
» Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm sorry. Yes,
we will do that. Um Shane, if you want
[1:57:13]
to talk about the PI system.
>> Yeah, so
[1:57:17]
we've been uh we've discussed a few
times the different projects uh that are
[1:57:24]
proposed uh that we bond for. Um so
there's been a couple of developments
[1:57:30]
that have came along. Um they would
require likely some cost from the city.
[1:57:35]
one for sure, the other one with the
development agreement, we might be able
[1:57:39]
to do something different, but but there
will be um a cost to those projects. So,
[1:57:46]
the first one is the uh the page
property has been moving forward and
[1:57:51]
they're working um very close to
approval, I believe. Um the master plan
[1:57:58]
showed the 24 inch line going from Ridge
Drive to Red Pine Drive to Main Street
[1:58:05]
along Maine to First South and then back
up by cutting through this project. Um
[1:58:11]
we'd save a ton of money. We wouldn't be
digging up asphalt. We wouldn't be going
[1:58:16]
through utility conflicts.
Um all those kinds of things. So the
[1:58:21]
cheapest way to put that section of the
pipe is pre-development. Um so it's a
[1:58:26]
timing thing and so we believe that that
should be considered um as part of our
[1:58:33]
kind of our group of projects for
bonding. Uh the other one is is if this
[1:58:39]
uh property below the Healey well moves
forward u we should be looking at it the
[1:58:44]
same way. Um, so if we acquire that
easement, we put that in. Again, it's
[1:58:51]
not in the asphalt, it'll be the
cheapest way we could ever do it. So,
[1:58:56]
» Jane, I wanted to get Oh, I'll wait my
turn. Go ahead.
[1:58:59]
» Uh, thanks for the foresight. I I
completely agree. Thank you.
[1:59:04]
» Yes, I agree. I um if I understand
correctly based off our conversation
[1:59:10]
earlier and what you just said is we can
we're going to work on these in tandem
[1:59:15]
with also still pursuing some of
>> that's what we're suggesting should have
[1:59:19]
» perfect. Thank you.
>> U remind me of the six items listed
[1:59:26]
here. Um the two that you're talking
about are the page development for
[1:59:31]
$735,000
and the Healey Well to Healey Boulevard.
[1:59:37]
That one.
>> Okay. The first two are the items that
[1:59:40]
we've talked about that were roughly 9,
>> right?
[1:59:43]
» Healey well to Healey Boulevard. So
that's from the wellhouse
[1:59:47]
um in this easement we discussed in the
work session.
[1:59:50]
» Okay. So that's the 420
>> Healey Boulevard.
[1:59:52]
» Okay. Uh the next one would be from that
point down to Canyon Crest, right Jason?
[1:59:59]
And then um the page development one
that would be from First South basically
[2:00:06]
to Dry Creek
or what's the
[2:00:13]
» Oh, sorry. The page development is just
through their property there south to
[2:00:16]
Red Pine.
>> Yes.
[2:00:18]
» And then the 24 inch or sorry, yeah, the
extension
[2:00:22]
That would be Ridge Drive to the P.
>> Yes.
[2:00:26]
» So the to sorry I didn't do this first,
but the total of the last four is the
[2:00:31]
$3.5 million difference. Is that right?
The last four that you just talked
[2:00:37]
about.
>> Uh about that.
[2:00:39]
» Okay. Thank you. So, so the last one on
this list would be the one that's not
[2:00:46]
absolutely necessary with these
development projects, but it would
[2:00:51]
connect
between two parts of the the overall
[2:00:56]
project, I guess. Um, I would suggest,
you know, moving forward, I'm I'm sure
[2:01:01]
uh with moving forward and finalizing
our parks master plan, there will be
[2:01:06]
some attention to Peterson Park. Um,
again, the cheapest way to put that
[2:01:12]
section of pipe in would be to I would
suggest skirting the outside of the
[2:01:17]
park, no utilities to deal with, just so
much less expensive, and then pop back
[2:01:24]
into Red Pine Drive and and connect up
to the the line going through the Page
[2:01:28]
property.
>> So, are any of these projects shovel
[2:01:32]
ready? Uh we have uh plans what would
you say 80 or 90% for
[2:01:40]
» about that 80 to 90%
>> Haley Boulevard from Canyon Crest to the
[2:01:45]
Healey Well.
>> Is that the only one that shovel ready?
[2:01:48]
» That's the only one. The others
I mean they shouldn't take a ton of
[2:01:53]
time,
>> right? And the page development they'll
[2:01:56]
be
>> Yeah,
[2:01:57]
» they'll be ready as soon as that's
ready. So
[2:02:01]
» So if we can get maybe the Healey well
to Healey Boulevard and then maybe even
[2:02:06]
the page development if we can get but
they're wanting to move on that quickly,
[2:02:10]
right? The 24 in extension. Is there any
way we can get that shovel ready and try
[2:02:15]
to get it in for You know what I'm
talking about, right?
[2:02:18]
» Yeah.
>> If we can get it in for that grant, that
[2:02:20]
would be fantastic.
>> Yeah. And that's the other component.
[2:02:23]
There's we found some potential funding
that even if they only pay for the pipe,
[2:02:29]
it has this funding has to be used by
the end of the year.
[2:02:33]
Um, but if we can work this in and even
if they just pay for the pipe, it would
[2:02:37]
be something. So, um, we'll work that,
continue to work that angle, too.
[2:02:43]
» Can you remind me how these bonds work?
Do we get the like a lump sum
[2:02:48]
so that being shovel ready is critical
so that the money isn't sitting there
[2:02:52]
charging us interest that we haven't
utilized or how does that all work?
[2:02:55]
» The shovel ready is more related to the
grants, but I mean, it kind of relates
[2:03:00]
» this
>> to
[2:03:02]
Yeah, this isn't just the construction
costs. It's also the engineering that's
[2:03:07]
involved. And so that's what helps it
get it shovel ready.
[2:03:10]
» I didn't know which pro if any of these
were shovel ready other than the Healey
[2:03:14]
Well to Healey Boulevard connection.
>> Yes. So, so the project we did last
[2:03:19]
fall, we had Horox do the surveying from
Canyon Crest up to the the driveway to
[2:03:24]
the Healey Well. We had them include
that in the survey with everything else
[2:03:28]
in Canyon Crest. And our thought was the
plan was to do it this spring, not in
[2:03:35]
the fall. And we thought, we have this
grant money. If this project comes in
[2:03:39]
way cheaper than we anticipate, we'll
have this other section ready and we can
[2:03:44]
maybe get it into. And then we kind of
switched gears and did it in the fall,
[2:03:49]
but the cost fell kind of in line with
the grant we had, so we just we just
[2:03:54]
stopped there.
>> I see.
[2:03:55]
» But we still have those plans available.
>> Okay. Okay, that work's been mostly
[2:04:00]
done.
>> So, can you scroll up one more time? Go
[2:04:04]
backwards. So, are we saying that um
we're increasing the bond by this much
[2:04:10]
or just we're going to use a mixture of
grant bonding and fund balance or
[2:04:16]
something to pay for the full
>> I would say. Yes, I I would say
[2:04:21]
potentially plan on more in the bond,
>> but I think on this particular grant, we
[2:04:26]
will know
>> like soon.
[2:04:28]
» Okay.
>> If we can get something which will help.
[2:04:31]
So it's it's not set in stone one in one
way because because as we know grants
[2:04:36]
are dependent on other
>> grants. Sometimes these developments
[2:04:39]
come along and you know they get started
and then they stall out for a couple
[2:04:45]
years or whatever. And so it was kind of
in limbo but it it really looks like
[2:04:49]
they're ready to move forward. So that's
why we're bringing this now.
[2:04:54]
» And and just to confirm these additional
projects are not taking away from the
[2:04:58]
ones that Horox Okay. We're not
suggesting that.
[2:05:01]
» Yeah. I just want Okay, that's
>> is the whole what was it? The buildout
[2:05:07]
that it's part of phase two that we have
been continually working on in phases.
[2:05:12]
And the reason that they're doing this
is take advantage of. It's just
[2:05:16]
situational, right? They're developing.
It's they're going to have raw land.
[2:05:20]
It'll be super easy to pipe it through
as opposed to going all the way back
[2:05:23]
down through the roundabout down Main
Street and go back up again just to end
[2:05:27]
up in the same place when we can go
straight through.
[2:05:30]
» And so it will save us a lot of money in
the long run.
[2:05:34]
» Yeah, that's if you do it as a crowsly,
it's very direct and we needed to move
[2:05:38]
quickly on it so we're not delaying
their project. They're being very nice
[2:05:41]
to let us do this.
>> Yeah, they've been great to work with on
[2:05:44]
it.
>> Good.
[2:05:45]
» So,
>> okay. Okay.
[2:05:47]
» Okay, I'll go. I haven't gone yet.
>> Did you go?
[2:05:51]
» Um, oh, I just wanted to ask one other
question. What's the status of a
[2:05:55]
potential rate study? Or maybe that
should come later. Maybe that's another
[2:05:59]
discussion.
>> I can answer that. So, uh,
[2:06:04]
on on PI,
we need to know what our projects are
[2:06:09]
that are on the horizon. So, we have
that number to plug in to the
[2:06:13]
spreadsheet that they've created. Um, so
we're we're getting there on the
[2:06:19]
culinary and the sewer. Um, I actually
have a meeting with them tomorrow. Um,
[2:06:24]
so those are those are moving forward.
So we'll have those to council
[2:06:31]
this fall.
>> Great.
[2:06:33]
» So,
>> thank you.
[2:06:34]
» I'll know more after tomorrow, but it
should be this fall.
[2:06:37]
» Thank you.
>> Yeah.
[2:06:38]
» Sarah, you're talking about the number
like the the difference in price on the
[2:06:42]
» Yes. what the
>> the actual cost per resident.
[2:06:45]
» Yes.
>> Okay. All right.
[2:06:48]
» Okay. There's no further questions.
>> No, I haven't gone yet.
[2:06:52]
» I haven't.
>> Okay.
[2:06:54]
» Yeah. I was just waiting. Uh so,
um Shane, there's one thing I wanted to
[2:07:01]
bring up is the uh uh and you guys have
been really helpful in giving a lot of
[2:07:06]
information about the whole system and
Horox has been helpful as well. Um the
[2:07:12]
the the neighborhood that keeps coming
after me for a fix is the north side of
[2:07:19]
the low zone and I bring it up, you
know, by Alpine Elementary where they
[2:07:23]
just have no pressure.
>> I know there's a couple others as well.
[2:07:27]
And so, uh
the fix, I had to go back and research
[2:07:31]
what it was. The fix is a pressurized
valve, PRV,
[2:07:36]
» pressure reducing valve.
>> Pressure reducing valve. And those run
[2:07:40]
around 300K.
>> Yeah, it depends on the situation,
[2:07:46]
a lot of factors, but
>> half of what I'm saying is a question
[2:07:48]
and half of what I'm saying is I'm
trying to find a fix. So anyways, I
[2:07:52]
haven't really seen that as part of any
of this. And so I'm hoping that that can
[2:07:56]
be considered. I know I know it's on the
list. I I just mean it's never been on
[2:08:01]
any of the uh I know it's on the list of
potentials. It's just never been on the
[2:08:05]
list of actual potential projects to be
carried out.
[2:08:08]
» Well, We've been talking about bonding
projects, but in that same discussion,
[2:08:12]
we talked about about being able to fund
through fund balance and like that a
[2:08:19]
project like that. So,
>> bringing those to fund
[2:08:21]
» that's why it's not on this.
>> Yes. Right. So, so since we're talking
[2:08:24]
about this, um would that be something
we could bring forward to do even before
[2:08:29]
this stuff that takes years to
implement? And because the the the
[2:08:33]
pipeline you're talking about, this
potentially will take five or six more
[2:08:37]
years to get it actually functional,
right? Getting it all the way up there.
[2:08:40]
And
>> the pipeline but the Yeah. But the other
[2:08:44]
bonded projects though, we're hoping to
get it started right away. I mean, we
[2:08:47]
want to get started on the wall this
winter,
[2:08:49]
» right? So, in the meantime, is this
something we could is does the does the
[2:08:53]
council have the stomach to to do the
smaller one that would
[2:08:58]
» bring up at a later time? But right now,
this is just something for you to
[2:09:03]
consider if you want them to add
something to the potential
[2:09:07]
» bring up the bond price. That's, you
know, that's subject that you can bring
[2:09:10]
up.
>> Right. I'm bringing it up now because
[2:09:12]
it's never in there. So, that's why I'm
bringing it up.
[2:09:13]
» This isn't anything like we're not
voting on this. This is justformational.
[2:09:17]
You know that, right?
>> That's why I'm going Yeah. No, I know.
[2:09:19]
» So, you can't take a vote.
>> I'm not asking for a vote. I'm just
[2:09:22]
asking I'm trying to be a team player.
>> Oh, I know. But you can also use the
[2:09:25]
phone.
>> Well, I'm
[2:09:27]
» Are you asking if we should add this to
the list because you'd want to bond for
[2:09:30]
it or you would prefer that we fund it
some other way?
[2:09:33]
» Well, it sounds like this is small. So,
it sounds like it doesn't even need to
[2:09:36]
be bonded. It's something small we can
work towards. It's just a community
[2:09:39]
that's been there forever and it's just
it seems like a fix we could actively
[2:09:43]
work towards.
>> Do I understand correctly? you're asking
[2:09:45]
if we can prioritize that because the
cost isn't that great and we can get
[2:09:48]
going on it sooner and
>> the original the original idea was just
[2:09:52]
to one of the priorities not above other
things but but this is one of the
[2:09:56]
priorities and
>> I I uh had been looking into it and just
[2:10:00]
wanted to follow up on it since we were
talking about pressurized irrigation.
[2:10:03]
Yeah, you have to be careful with PRVs
because they can cause other problems
[2:10:07]
because the way they're designed, if the
pressure is too low, their their
[2:10:12]
settings, the high pressure on the
upstream side, low pressure on the
[2:10:15]
downstream side, when the downstream
pressure reaches gets to a certain
[2:10:21]
point, that valve opens and feeds water
to it.
[2:10:25]
» Right. Right.
>> So that takes pressure from other areas.
[2:10:28]
» Right. Okay. And so if you don't have
the availability of water there, it can
[2:10:33]
cause other problems.
>> If there's a better solution, I'm I'm
[2:10:36]
all ears for a better solution. But
anyways, that's just one of the things
[2:10:39]
to think about. The I asked them for any
solutions. They had say that that was
[2:10:43]
the band-aid. That's the fix. And then
the other one is obviously the pipeline,
[2:10:47]
which will help as that goes further
along. That will help every zone.
[2:10:51]
» All all the projects in the master plan
will help,
[2:10:55]
» right? Right.
>> Some way throughout the city.
[2:10:57]
» Okay. Well, I just I need something to
go back and tell them that I'm working
[2:11:01]
on it because every time they show me
their sprinklers and they say this thing
[2:11:05]
won't go up and I'm trying to help them.
So, that was
[2:11:09]
» um anyways, I uh I think that's all and
thanks for doing this. I have been
[2:11:12]
reaching just just I would encourage you
guys to reach out to residents on this
[2:11:16]
bonding. I've been reaching out to them
because this is something that will
[2:11:20]
affect everyone. the rate will help that
Sarah asked because I can't give them an
[2:11:24]
exact number of how much their water
bill will increase. So that's what
[2:11:28]
that'll be really helpful to give them
those numbers. Um I have been getting
[2:11:32]
quite a a negative response from
residents on more costs. They're they're
[2:11:38]
giving me a lot of we just went through
the hardest year and we were fine. um
[2:11:42]
they're they're giving they're not
they're not I think water is painful
[2:11:46]
right now but I think right now people
are even feeling more of a pain uh of
[2:11:51]
budget and finance and just one more
thing on top so anyways just exploring
[2:11:56]
any other route for any of these
solutions that doesn't do that for
[2:12:00]
example I've had several developers
reach out asking to contribute to one of
[2:12:05]
these want something in return but
that's a potential I've tried to call
[2:12:09]
them they they're hard to get a hold
But anyways, I'll I'll keep looking. I
[2:12:13]
know you have friends as well, but
there's any other route to get to these,
[2:12:16]
I think it would help. That's all I got
to say. Thank you.
[2:12:18]
» Okay. Um, I'd like to make a motion. I
move that we go into close session to
[2:12:23]
discuss land acquisition.
>> Is there a second?
[2:12:30]
» I will second.
>> I move that we go into council. Was that
[2:12:33]
council chambers?
>> Could I give you some suggestions?
[2:12:35]
» Yes, please. [laughter]
>> Okay. to discuss the purchase sale lease
[2:12:40]
or exchange of real property
>> strategy session to discuss the purchase
[2:12:45]
sale lease or exchange of real property
>> and Mr. say where that's going to be
[2:12:50]
held
>> you can say I was just you can say so
[2:12:54]
moved to be held in the conference room
at city hall
[2:12:57]
» and Sarah and Mr. Mr. Doc, if there's
something else we want to discuss
[2:13:01]
because there's a couple items going on
right now.
[2:13:03]
» Screen Sarah, too.
>> Do we have to add Do we have to add that
[2:13:07]
to the motion in order to discuss other
items that are supposed to be talked
[2:13:10]
about?
>> If we're going to discuss other items
[2:13:12]
that are not
>> Are you involved in the talking to a
[2:13:16]
couple items that you all know about
that are in
[2:13:19]
» That's something that probably should
have been brought up before. There's no
[2:13:22]
litigation right now, is there?
>> I sorry, I meant
[2:13:26]
the chance.
It's anything that has been brought up
[2:13:29]
recently that you'd like to talk about
in closed meeting?
[2:13:33]
» I don't know. Do Can I
>> Can I just amend it? You can make it and
[2:13:36]
I'll ask.
>> Okay. List all four. I move to pause the
[2:13:39]
regular meeting and move into a closed
meeting to be held in the conference
[2:13:42]
room at city hall to discuss
um I you want me to list all of them.
[2:13:48]
The purchase, exchange, sale, or lease
of real property. Um is there anything
[2:13:53]
else you wanted to
>> If you could just say the other ones.
[2:13:55]
» Okay. pending or reasonable imminent
litigation the character professional
[2:13:59]
competence or physical and or mental
health of an individual
[2:14:03]
» that's not needed I I apologize
[laughter]
[2:14:05]
» the deployment of security personnel
devices or systems
[2:14:08]
» actually yes that is one that is one
>> okay and at the end of the closed
[2:14:12]
meeting the open open city council
meeting will be adjourned
[2:14:17]
» uh we have staff reports
>> okay can you take that part off or do I
[2:14:23]
need to restate it again
>> no I think you're okay
[2:14:25]
» we'll just come back. I'll fix it.
>> Okay. Thank you, Deian.
[2:14:28]
» Okay. There's a motion. Is there a
second?
[2:14:30]
» I'll second it.
>> It's been moved by Councilwoman
[2:14:32]
Blackwell and seconded by Councilman
Young that we go into close session for
[2:14:37]
the reasons stated.
>> There's three votes.
[2:14:42]
» There's two.
>> We got to say I though.
[2:14:44]
» Oh, all
>> call.
[2:14:46]
» Roll call.
>> I Brett Ramler. Yes.
[2:14:50]
» Sarah Blackwell. Yes.
>> Chissy Hanaman. Yes.
[2:14:53]
» Andrew. Close session.
[2:14:59]
Glad you did.
[2:15:16]
» Thanks.
>> I'm not here. I'm in Salt Lake.
[2:15:20]
» Can I contact you?
>> Um, you can. I represent the city.
[2:15:25]
» Yeah.
>> So,
[2:15:26]
» go through Shane.
>> Why don't you call Shane? Yeah.
[2:15:30]
» Shane.
[2:15:40]
» R.
Steve.
[2:15:44]
» Sorry. I thought you were talking to me.
>> Like, you put up the signs. The signs
[2:15:48]
are up. trying to enforce the parking
already. So I don't feel like we're
[2:15:51]
spending hours talking about hedges,
>> you know, but like
[2:15:56]
» Well, I know, but you guys never talked
about that parking. You tabled it and
[2:16:00]
it's never been adopted. The engineering
court was never adopted.
[2:16:04]
» These plans were never approved by the
board by the city,
[2:16:08]
» right? So our school social rights are
being violated every day that you prove
[2:16:12]
us from the park.
>> First of all, it's not the city not the
[2:16:15]
city council's responsibility.
They presented information that
[2:16:21]
there's nothing to improve or deny when
a study is presented to us.
[2:16:25]
» No, but but there is when you're doing
parking and spending city funds on
[2:16:29]
crosswalks.
>> No, actually there isn't. That was a
[2:16:32]
currency to the council.
>> What about the municipal code that says
[2:16:37]
that they have The signs are put up
under the direction of the governing
[2:16:41]
board.
>> Oh, the parking you're talking about in
[2:16:43]
the city. In the city in the
>> the parking signs out there.
[2:16:47]
» Okay. I don't know about that.
>> Okay.
[2:16:51]
You're the one who brought them.
>> Yeah, I probably
[2:17:06]
don't. park in the parking lot
>> is red curving
[2:17:11]
» but we don't have parking lot
[2:17:18]
» to me is the exact same thing
[2:17:24]
» they want you in the park thanks for
your time we'll talk
[2:17:31]
» no I know
[2:17:35]
» I need my water thirst
[2:17:39]
That's a good idea,
>> but I'm happy to talk about it.
[2:17:42]
» Okay, so
[2:17:47]
it's always good.
>> Okay. All right. Well, thank you, Chief.
[2:17:49]
Appreciate your presentation and and
finally getting the report is amazing.
[2:17:53]
» Getting it all together.
[3:21:09]
That was just a joke.
>> I think we need to edit this and take
[3:21:12]
out the brief.
>> Yeah, seriously. So, did you
[3:21:19]
Yeah, we got to do that.
[3:21:28]
» I know.
[3:21:32]
» So, I
still
[3:21:36]
» person
[3:21:41]
whatever. Yeah, I'll be there.
>> Here.
[3:21:46]
» Okay. You mean to make a motion to
extend the meeting?
[3:21:51]
» Okay. Yeah, sure.
>> Go ahead.
[3:21:53]
» I'd like to make a motion to extend the
meeting till
[3:21:56]
» I can't type
>> 9:45.
[3:22:02]
» How about that?
>> 9:35.
[3:22:06]
» Up to
>> Okay. Is there a second?
[3:22:09]
» I'll second.
>> Okay. It's been moved by Councilwoman
[3:22:12]
Blackwells and seconded by Councilman
Rumler.
[3:22:16]
» Andrew Young. Yes.
Brown rumble. Yes.
[3:22:19]
» Oh, Sarah Blackwell. Yes. Handman. Yes.
In the interest of time only.
[3:22:23]
» Okay.
>> Okay. Um Kaden.
[3:22:30]
» Uh the only update I have is just I
think we had a successful round of
[3:22:34]
committee meetings for the finalization
of the small area plan. I think everyone
[3:22:39]
participated from the council. I think
almost everyone participated from the
[3:22:43]
planning commission as well as Andy
Spencer. Uh, so I think it was really
[3:22:48]
well done. I think we have the updates
we want. The next I think at the next
[3:22:52]
council meeting I'll have those updates
ready for you to have a final approval
[3:22:55]
on them and then I will send them back
to the consultant.
[3:22:58]
» Okay.
>> Thanks.
[3:23:04]
» Wait, Kayen, it doesn't have to go back
to the planning commission at all. And I
[3:23:09]
thought you wanted a public hearing. No.
Oh, that's after the final.
[3:23:14]
» What were the last step? What are the
last steps we have to do to make it
[3:23:18]
approved?
>> So, it's already done the public
[3:23:20]
hearing. I think we are open to having
another one. I don't know if it's
[3:23:23]
required.
>> So, we did two already. I think that's
[3:23:25]
what Ryan was talking about before.
Yeah,
[3:23:27]
» they did the initial public hearing, but
it didn't get noticed very well. And so,
[3:23:31]
a lot of people said, "Hey, I wanted to
come talk about that."
[3:23:34]
» And so, they held a second public
hearing with the planning commission.
[3:23:37]
So, when you referenced that in your
notes, I think that was the second one
[3:23:39]
Ryan was talking about.
>> I thought Shane had advised that. Have
[3:23:42]
you have you have you not
>> you can
[3:23:46]
you can have one if you choose. I think
>> I meant when it's like done done before
[3:23:51]
we vote and approve it.
>> I don't think it's required but you
[3:23:55]
could it seems like we might have done
that with the conservation easement.
[3:24:00]
» That was much more controversial.
>> And so our general feeling is it's been
[3:24:04]
out in the public enough and that would
be an unnecessary step. I just want to
[3:24:08]
be clear. Yeah, that's that's my
feeling. Unless someone has a other
[3:24:13]
points to the contrary.
>> You're saying you want to just end it at
[3:24:18]
this and vote on it and like approve it.
>> Yeah, there's no two public hearings.
[3:24:22]
» It would be an unrequired like going an
extra step.
[3:24:24]
» It's not required, right?
>> Not required.
[3:24:26]
» Well, if everyone feels comfortable with
all the changes, I say a good vote on it
[3:24:29]
is good. Okay.
>> We've all put a lot of input into it.
[3:24:33]
» Can we send you any last things or is
there a Here here's one thing that I can
[3:24:37]
foresee happening. I can foresee you
bringing it forward and Andrew being
[3:24:41]
like, I want to change that one little
little thing and these guys getting mad.
[3:24:45]
Um, can you send it to us like a couple
days before? So, if there's any last
[3:24:49]
things that were like, oh,
>> that's a good idea.
[3:24:51]
» This last thing,
>> could we just buffer this?
[3:24:54]
» Yeah, don't send it to us on Friday.
That thing is massive. Okay. Can you
[3:24:57]
just give us like, guys, have a review
any last changes?
[3:25:01]
» Give everybody a deadline.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Because cuz
[3:25:04]
» so the deadline September 1st is what
Chrissy originally set up
[3:25:07]
» to get our edits to you.
>> Yes. And so all the next meeting
[3:25:10]
September
>> was the deadline.
[3:25:13]
» Last Tuesday.
>> No, it's in a week from today.
[3:25:15]
» Oh, so you want edits by But we don't
even know what the final edits are
[3:25:17]
because he's doing all the changes we
made.
[3:25:19]
» That's what that's what he's saying. No,
no. If
[3:25:21]
» when is he going to get that version to
us?
[3:25:23]
» We're talking about when he gives us the
final. It's like when you read a
[3:25:25]
contract, you read it one time.
>> He knows. But
[3:25:28]
» so yeah, so the next meeting is in two
weeks, September 8th. If the final edits
[3:25:32]
are due September 1st,
when do you want that document?
[3:25:36]
» The second week of the second meeting.
>> Oh, okay.
[3:25:41]
» What do you mean the second meeting?
>> Prior to
[3:25:43]
» Well, because the consultant is trying
to make all our edits.
[3:25:46]
» No, no, no, no. He's making the edit.
>> I thought you were saying we wanted you
[3:25:48]
wanted one more look before I give it to
the consultant.
[3:25:51]
» We have to approve the edits before they
go to the consultant.
[3:25:54]
» Oh, you're right. That was in there.
Thank you for that. I I forgot. One more
[3:25:58]
vote after that to Thank you, Brent.
That's why you're a lawyer.
[3:26:02]
» Okay. Thank you.
>> Yeah. There's one vote for the edits
[3:26:05]
approved. There's one vote for the
adoption. So that'll
[3:26:08]
» work. So we need to approve the edits on
the 8th is what you're saying.
[3:26:11]
» And that's what we'd like to get a week
ahead of time if we can.
[3:26:14]
» Yeah.
>> Time to
[3:26:16]
» How soon can you get this to council?
>> But don't do you still have the
[3:26:19]
spreadsheet?
>> Yeah. I mean I have everything ready. I
[3:26:22]
know we're we're keeping the date open
till the first, but maybe I'll just try
[3:26:25]
to send it out that same day.
>> I think I think we're done. I think we
[3:26:29]
need that's our deadline too to get it
back to you by the first.
[3:26:32]
» Yeah.
>> Okay.
[3:26:32]
» Like if you can just email it in the
next few days and we can get it back to
[3:26:36]
you by the first.
>> Okay.
[3:26:37]
» Thank you, Kayen. Anything else? I can
do
[3:26:40]
» Oh, and then Shane was having me bring
up So, we do have our consultant, we've
[3:26:44]
had three consultant groups that are
willing to do the code update for the
[3:26:49]
small area plan for us that have set
sent in RFPs. So, we're going to look at
[3:26:55]
what we think of those three, which
one's the best, and then we'll I think
[3:26:58]
we'll have that maybe at the next
meeting as well, right?
[3:27:00]
» So, that should be able to hit the
ground running when this gets adopted.
[3:27:04]
» We're also thinking that if it works out
well with the relationship that we might
[3:27:09]
go with that firm and approach them
about our planner part time.
[3:27:14]
» Okay. Anything else, Shane?
>> Uh,
[3:27:18]
yeah. So, let's see. Just Alpine Days.
Uh Heidi's not here right now, but she
[3:27:25]
did awesome. She worked herself to
death.
[3:27:28]
» She really did. And
>> yeah, she needed the week off
[3:27:33]
» and she'll be back to work tomorrow. But
um so there'll be a report. It takes
[3:27:38]
quite a while to get everything in and
um we have couple things to follow up
[3:27:43]
on. Um we'll report on that later.
uh
[3:27:49]
Burgess Park Burgess Park court
lighting. Um that project there were two
[3:27:55]
left. I'm not sure what the hold up was,
but I haven't made it down there to see
[3:27:58]
if they were finished. But everything I
hear, they love the new lights and it
[3:28:03]
was 100% grant funded. Um which is
great.
[3:28:07]
» I had people reach out thanking you for
that and saying how wonderful they were.
[3:28:10]
Whitey Whitey Anson reached out. So it
was massive improvement. Yeah, I've
[3:28:14]
tried to call him a few times and we
played phone tag, so I haven't actually
[3:28:17]
got to talk to him.
>> He wants to give you a hug.
[3:28:19]
» He's traveling.
>> Yeah. Um,
[3:28:23]
uh, I brought up at our Lone Peak staff
meeting, uh, a month ago, I guess, about
[3:28:29]
our the check that we should be getting
from fund balance, and that did come
[3:28:33]
last week. Um,
let's see. LPC, I mentioned the 6,000
[3:28:40]
foot lot thing. It's kind of concerning.
>> Um, they also brought up potential
[3:28:48]
legislation on flaw cameras and license
plate reader type cameras. That might be
[3:28:54]
coming. Um, and then fireworks. They
think that they'll
[3:28:58]
I thought it was going to go the other
way because of the fireworks lobby and
[3:29:02]
maybe it will in the end, but um the
thought right now is that they would
[3:29:06]
make it an easier process in the
situation we had this year for a city to
[3:29:11]
put further restrictions in.
>> That would be so we'll see where that
[3:29:15]
all goes.
>> Uh
[3:29:19]
the I work uh Don's continuing to work
on the onboarding there. Um I texted him
[3:29:25]
but I haven't heard back yet to see. It
should be it was like six weeks and I
[3:29:30]
think we're there. So we're about there.
Said that's going well.
[3:29:37]
Got the 912 day of service coming up.
911 day on the the 11th or on the 12th.
[3:29:44]
Yeah.
>> Um there will be some good projects
[3:29:47]
there.
>> Does that start at 9:00 a.m.?
[3:29:50]
» Uh I don't know on the timing right now.
They'll be publishing it. They have a
[3:29:54]
website and everything.
>> It's either eight or nine. I can't
[3:29:57]
remember what they said.
>> And some of them like they're building a
[3:30:00]
trail bridge. Sometimes they'll start at
six just getting the cool weather and
[3:30:04]
whatever. But
>> so more information to come there.
[3:30:08]
» And that's all I have right now.
>> So I read that the governor's office was
[3:30:13]
going to be doing an audit on the
looking for potential misuse for the
[3:30:18]
flot cameras. there might be something
coming from the state to because I know
[3:30:22]
that some of the concern the main
concern is abuse of the of the of the
[3:30:28]
system. So it sounds like the governor's
office is going to commission an audit
[3:30:31]
of that.
That's all.
[3:30:34]
» Okay.
>> I don't have anything.
[3:30:37]
» Okay. Chrissy,
>> just a reminder, just a reminder,
[3:30:42]
tomorrow at noon, there's training on
our roles for our city of a mayor vibe
[3:30:50]
council organization.
Um, sponsored by the Utah League of
[3:30:54]
[clears throat] Towns at noon. That's
it.
[3:30:57]
» Um, okay. Uh, some of these we went
over, we I sent the signs. So, you're
[3:31:04]
all aware of that, right, Shane? You're
aware of the no dog leash and I think he
[3:31:09]
knows.
>> Yeah, Heidi's working on it. She just
[3:31:11]
got back in town.
>> Thank you for all that.
[3:31:13]
» Hey, that training is actually Thursday.
>> Oh,
[3:31:17]
» thank you. It's Thursday.
>> Well, that makes it easier.
[3:31:20]
» I have it on the wrong day on my own
personal calendar. Thank you.
[3:31:27]
» Um, okay.
There was a crosswalks um
[3:31:32]
agenda item that Jessica and I had sent
to y'all. Um should we do any planning
[3:31:38]
to get that ready or anything for that?
>> I it's it's for some of the crosswalks
[3:31:43]
they brought up but for painting some
>> uh I sent it on I so I just wondered if
[3:31:49]
we should be prepared for next week or
the or the next meeting or which meeting
[3:31:52]
for that one.
>> There there were some general locations
[3:31:55]
but some of them weren't exact.
I think we just need to talk. I don't
[3:31:59]
even I don't know that it's going to
need to come to the council unless it's
[3:32:03]
a new one that requires a warrant study.
>> So, do you just want us to Well, it was
[3:32:07]
two of them were new, two of them were
uh to paint over.
[3:32:12]
» The genesis of it was when we were
watching the Mountainville Academy
[3:32:16]
parking and we realized where people
were parking and the new one looks good
[3:32:20]
and people can see it and the older ones
around there. And then we thought of the
[3:32:23]
other well mostly because Alpine days
were next to the kid with his leg, you
[3:32:27]
know, in a stretcher thing who got hit
where they were talking about the Grove
[3:32:33]
and Alpine Boulevard. That's the other
one. So, what would be the proper
[3:32:37]
format? Uh because if we did the two
signature thing, would should we just go
[3:32:41]
directly have a meeting with you or
something?
[3:32:43]
» So, on that one, I mean, if the council
wants us to
[3:32:46]
» is that something we should
>> look at a warrant study for a four-way
[3:32:49]
stop there, we can do that.
>> Well, it wasn't for the four-way. It was
[3:32:52]
just for crosswalks. We can add that if
you want, but it was for crosswalks.
[3:32:56]
» How much are warrant studies? Just out
of curiosity,
[3:33:00]
» they're not cheap. Um, I'm trying to
remember.
[3:33:05]
» Look one up that we did on Westfield and
see what it
[3:33:08]
» we have to have a warrant study to put
in a four-way stop.
[3:33:12]
» Um, that's what the MUTCD says. Um there
might be
[3:33:19]
a little provision in there something
about local approvals but they recommend
[3:33:24]
it's I might say guidance.
>> So for speed sakes would it be okay just
[3:33:28]
to do a discussion item on those and
then we can just talk about it and
[3:33:31]
figure out what direction everyone wants
to go for those crosswalks and
[3:33:35]
potentially a stop sign.
>> I would like to I would like to find out
[3:33:40]
if it's warranted now. Right.
>> Okay. So maybe a discussion item on
[3:33:43]
that. Is that okay with the downhill
speeds there? I think that's that's kind
[3:33:47]
of a a nasty intersection.
>> I I live off road and I've seen
[3:33:52]
» Yeah,
>> people expect I'd be in favor of people
[3:33:54]
expect it to be a four-way stop. So
sometimes
[3:33:57]
» Well, what would you all like to do? A
discussion item, a vote, or should I
[3:34:00]
just go directly through Shane to try to
help with the crosswalks?
[3:34:02]
» I mean, I don't think it won't be over
15,000. So on on the the four-way stop
[3:34:09]
warrant.
>> So
[3:34:11]
» why would you like me to do I'm happy to
do whatever. I think it's I think we
[3:34:14]
should
>> You're saying that there was one
[3:34:15]
conducted according to that resident
like a few years ago and it didn't
[3:34:19]
warrant one
>> conducted what Jed did. He looked at he
[3:34:22]
contacted the police department and look
for crash history. So that's one of the
[3:34:26]
bullet points as part of the warrant
study and the crash history didn't meet
[3:34:32]
what the warrant said it should to
justify a four-way stop.
[3:34:36]
» Is that just one factor though?
>> That's one of the factors.
[3:34:39]
» But you have to meet like a serious
>> We didn't do we didn't do a warrant
[3:34:41]
study. No,
>> I I I would I would be in favor of doing
[3:34:44]
a war study.
>> I as well I would be in favor of that.
[3:34:48]
» Okay. All right.
>> What else? Sandra.
[3:34:50]
» Well, hold on. That took a turn.
>> Uh I guess I can work on that then.
[3:34:56]
Jessica, if Jessica was here, she would
be saying this. Um there, this is with
[3:35:01]
Sarah. We have the zoning change
meeting. If anyone else wants to be
[3:35:04]
involved in that, just as a heads up,
it's on the back side of uh on the back
[3:35:10]
side of Main Street looking at some of
the houses to change the zoning to
[3:35:14]
residential. So, that's a meeting we're
having and if that's something that any
[3:35:19]
of you have any problems with or
concerns, let let us know. Um that we
[3:35:24]
have a height fix meeting, a speed
reduction one, and then I sent with
[3:35:28]
Brent and I the fire uh the fire
mitigation project. Is there anything
[3:35:33]
that holds that up or does it just come
forward?
[3:35:34]
» Well, we were going to ask the chief to
you asked the chief to
[3:35:38]
» he came by and talked to me. He didn't
say any problems. He says he wants to
[3:35:40]
walk it, but I don't again this is most
of these are I'm just bringing up
[3:35:43]
because of process we both signed. Does
it come up for a vote? Do we or do we
[3:35:48]
need like the chief to okay it for a
vote? Is there kind of like that as
[3:35:52]
well?
>> I would like the chief's input. But in
[3:35:54]
» Okay. So, maybe walk it with them. Is
that
[3:35:56]
» in light of the new information that we
do have a completed CWPP
[3:36:01]
» because I had heard it's, you know, it's
almost done. It's almost done. It's
[3:36:04]
almost done. This is actually the first
time that I've heard that it's actually
[3:36:08]
completed. I would really like to look
at our resources to be able to um go for
[3:36:14]
a larger chunk of money. Okay.
>> And to really kind of go after these,
[3:36:18]
you know, border areas.
>> This project was only three grand. So
[3:36:21]
just it was it's the whole just so you
know it's the um it's from basically the
[3:36:26]
entire trail from the river trail. So
when you're in Lambert it's the river
[3:36:31]
trail to the Zurker's house. It's that
trail and there's just to have a walk on
[3:36:35]
it. There's dead wood dead the entire
way both sides. So it's just to clear
[3:36:40]
that out. No living no nothing. Uh I
think we could do it in volunteers. So
[3:36:46]
» yeah let's get the opinion of the chief
and then move forward.
[3:36:48]
» Okay. That gives me d that gives me
direction. That's a good start.
[3:36:51]
» Okay. Uh the there's you already went
over the flock cameras. Deian's going to
[3:36:57]
send that. And then
>> um there's a running thing in a CP3
[3:37:01]
thing that we submitted. Are you okay
with those? Are those okay?
[3:37:05]
» Those present presentations. Do do you
by chance know will those be next
[3:37:09]
council meeting or we don't know yet.
>> I think we'll look at the agenda and see
[3:37:12]
how it looks like. Like
>> we'll let you know.
[3:37:14]
» This is the issue. We thought this
meeting would be over before now and
[3:37:18]
it's
>> last one is the fences. You just want me
[3:37:20]
to give you exact places where you want
me to put that and that's the last
[3:37:24]
thing.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I'm I think I have a little
[3:37:27]
bit of input, but I from what I've
hearing from the council, you guys just
[3:37:30]
want it to come as as you have it. And
so I think you putting it in the
[3:37:34]
ordinance where you think it should go
is is a good
[3:37:37]
» Is that still going to come up just as a
discussion item then or?
[3:37:40]
» Yes. First,
>> if it's a discussion item, I think it
[3:37:43]
would be okay just to bring it as is to
discuss each point and see if anyone has
[3:37:46]
a problem with any of them. It's the
It's the fence ordinance basically just
[3:37:51]
dialed down to it would do this, this,
and this. And if you have any problems
[3:37:55]
with it, then I could put it into the
actual script.
[3:37:57]
» But if I'm understanding what you're
proposing, you're saying add the
[3:38:00]
language you sent me into the current
ordinance. Are you saying this is all
[3:38:04]
we're we want now for the fence
ordinance?
[3:38:07]
» Well, it's just the original concept.
Uh, it's the original concept 8 foot to
[3:38:12]
six feet unless it's open.
>> Yeah. uh strategy,
[3:38:14]
» but do you want all the other lang
because there's a lot of language in the
[3:38:17]
fence ordinance longer than what you
sent me.
[3:38:19]
» Do you want that still there plus
everything you have or
[3:38:23]
» Oh, yeah. It just changes minor words in
the current fence
[3:38:26]
» or so that that's the only reason I was
suggesting if you want to just put it
[3:38:29]
where you think all these should go.
>> Yeah,
[3:38:31]
» that will help us I think with a
productive discussion.
[3:38:33]
» I think I think that's it.
>> Will we um will we also get your
[3:38:37]
thoughts on
>> Yeah, I'm happy to provide my thoughts
[3:38:40]
as well. I'd like to know that for sure.
Yeah. Then to be totally clear on the
[3:38:45]
process, it will have to go back. If
there's
[3:38:48]
» if the council says, "Hey, we want this
to move forward." Then it would have to
[3:38:52]
go back, have a public hearing, go
through planning commission, they make a
[3:38:55]
recommendation, council,
>> and it would be on here for action.
[3:38:58]
» Right. We're we're greasing our joints
for how we do this. So, thanks.
[3:39:01]
» Just make sure that's everything. Thank
you.
[3:39:03]
» Okay. Um just the centric com if you
guys can help spread the word to ask
[3:39:08]
people to take a screenshot of their
speed tests and then they can um email
[3:39:13]
me and then the city needs to make a map
and so we need the data in order to get
[3:39:17]
that to centric com before they can get
started and then should we talk about
[3:39:21]
the donation?
So we have a donation from a resident um
[3:39:27]
but it is not coming directly to the
city. It's going towards projects that
[3:39:31]
this person is supporting. $100,000 to
the mountain bike trail that is
[3:39:36]
currently being um worked on in Three
Falls, $150,000 going to the rodeo, and
[3:39:42]
then $250,000 going towards playground
equipment for one of the rings at
[3:39:48]
Creekide. So that's
>> the rings.
[3:39:52]
» That's very generous.
>> Please tell them thank you. That's very
[3:39:55]
generous.
>> Thank you, whoever you are, resident.
[3:39:57]
» Going to remain anonymous. Um I I wasn't
quite sure how they wanted it. No, the
[3:40:03]
the playground one it will have a
plaque. Um and then the trail I believe
[3:40:10]
will have a name associated with it. And
then I'm not sure about the rodeo. We
[3:40:18]
don't have um this came I'm asking which
is awesome about this donation but the
[3:40:23]
heritage foundation um is trying to come
up with a naming process and ordinance
[3:40:28]
so that when they get these donations
for the sculpture garden and it needs to
[3:40:32]
be consistent with what we do. So as far
as I know we don't have a naming
[3:40:36]
ordinance and I know we did the softball
I'm sorry the baseball park too. So, is
[3:40:42]
can we add that to your list, Kaden, to
>> we we already have it on there
[3:40:46]
» to make sure that we get that in place
so that they're in compliance with ours
[3:40:50]
instead of the other way around.
>> So, Steve and I met with Bob Hansen just
[3:40:54]
over a Zoom call last Friday, I think,
and talked about this and and some other
[3:41:02]
things. And they're getting their
attorney to talk to Steve because Steve
[3:41:06]
had some concerns with some things that
just needed to be ironed out. So, it's
[3:41:10]
that's why it wasn't presented tonight.
It's still being worked on.
[3:41:15]
» So, um is is ours more restrictive?
>> Um so,
[3:41:22]
» less restrictive.
>> We don't have a gift acceptance policy.
[3:41:26]
And so, that's that's what they said a
lot of cities that they work with will
[3:41:32]
adopt.
>> The Heritage Foundation said that. Okay.
[3:41:35]
» So, that's that's what we're working on.
So that would would whatever we do would
[3:41:40]
apply equally to the sculpture garden as
well as like a private donation even
[3:41:44]
like our new building over here. All of
that would fall under one umbrella.
[3:41:48]
» I think I think so. I haven't seen an
ordinance like this but I think so.
[3:41:53]
» So we talked about that a couple years
ago when we did baseball name like we
[3:41:56]
don't want to do it in perpetuity. Let's
have some standards.
[3:41:59]
» So just to be clear the donation
>> Ryan was working on it and he just never
[3:42:03]
got it
>> finished.
[3:42:06]
» Okay. Anything else? If not, I'll
entertain a motion to adjurnn.
[3:42:12]
» I'll make a motion to adjurnn.
>> Is there a second?
[3:42:14]
» Second.
>> Okay. All in favor?
[3:42:17]
» I
>> I
[3:42:18]
» We did it by 9:45.
[3:42:23]
» Yeah.
[3:42:27]
» Good night, everybody. Late breath
midnight.
