Yes, I just wanted to say that the
[2:04]
council is muted on Zoom. We can't hear

[3:00]
Does anybody on the council have any
[3:02]
questions or comments about the bills?
[3:06]
I did have one question regarding uh the
[3:09]
a cemetery
[3:11]

[3:15]
was just wondering what that was
[3:16]
specifically.
[3:18]

[6:02]
We will move on to item number five,
[6:06]
consideration of resolution 2026-26
[6:09]
approving the memorandum of
[6:11]
understanding with the inland Port
[6:13]
Authority. And we have Stephanie Pack
[6:16]
here, it looks like, and I'm hopeful
[6:18]
that she's going to give us some great
[6:20]
information.
[6:22]
>> Thank you so much, Mayor. Um, Stephanie
[6:24]
Pack. I'm with the Utah Inland Port
[6:26]
Authority. The memorandum of
[6:27]
understanding that we provided to the
[6:30]
city really outlines the uh commitment
[6:33]
that we've discussed in previous
[6:35]
meetings where uh the Utah Port
[6:37]
Authority who statutoily uh collects
[6:40]
sales tax revenue within our project
[6:42]
areas. Uh this memorandum of
[6:44]
understanding would pass through any
[6:46]
sales tax collected by the inland port
[6:48]
to the city. Um we we anticipate that
[6:51]
the areas within our project area are
[6:53]
largely going to be um industrial. Uh
[6:56]
there may be some instances in the
[6:58]
future of future retail uh requiring the request of this memorandum of
[7:04]
understanding. Um but happy to answer
[7:07]
any additional questions from the city u
[7:10]
regarding the pass through of sales tax.
[7:12]
And
[7:12]
>> this will cover all the locations. Th
[7:15]
this memorandum of understanding would
[7:17]
cover all of our our project area
[7:20]
boundaries within the city.
[7:22]
>> Perfect. So the Broken Arrow site site,
[7:25]
the Romney site,
[7:27]
>> the site for Mr. Green's property, all
[7:29]
three of those are entailed in this.
[7:31]
Okay. Thank you.
[7:33]
[clears throat]
[7:43]
So, you came and visited us. Was it back
[7:45]
in February?
[7:46]
>> Uh, I believe around that time. Yeah.
[7:48]
>> Yeah. Thank you. I mean, we we went
[7:50]
through this in detail. Um, back then.
[7:54]
So, I don't I don't really have any
[7:57]
specific questions for you in this
[7:59]
regard. [clears throat]
[8:00]
>> This is this is a dumb little I've got
[8:02]
one dumb little question. Has it always
[8:05]
been called the 20 wells in Lumpport?
[8:08]
>> Yes.
[8:08]
>> I'm struggling with that because we have
[8:10]
a development 20 wells that have nothing
[8:12]
to do with each other. Correct.
[8:14]
>> Right. [laughter]
[8:17]
[clears throat]
[8:19]
>> So my question is on here I didn't see
[8:22]
anything where it says it defines a
[8:25]
percentage we get or anything from any
[8:27]
of the the sales taxes. So, how how
[8:31]
>> so the the sales tax portion is a little
[8:34]
bit different than the property tax
[8:36]
rebates. Um the the sales tax that the
[8:39]
inland port receives uh when we create a
[8:42]
project area isn't at the a 75%
[8:46]
breakdown and I actually think it's
[8:47]
closer to 20%. Um, and so it will be the
[8:51]
entirety of any sales tax that that the
[8:54]
inland port collects within those
[8:56]
boundaries, we will remit back to
[9:00]
Grantsville City. Um, so I I don't think
[9:04]
um it's precisely 75% like the property
[9:08]
tax breakdown is um but it's closer to
[9:12]
that 20% of sales tax generated within
[9:15]
that project area comes to the port. So,
[9:18]
we're just remitting back our portion
[9:20]
that we collect back to the city.
[9:28]
» Property tax is a different issue
[9:30]
though, right?
[9:33]
>> Talked about that at length in that
[9:35]
February meeting.
[9:36]
>> Wouldn't we want those percentages in
[9:38]
this though?
[9:42]
I think for the property taxes, it
[9:44]
depends on the the what it is and the
[9:46]
development and how it goes. So, this is
[9:48]
just locking in the the sales tax and we
[9:51]
want that across the board on every one
[9:52]
of them. And then the individual
[9:56]
locations will make different agreements
[9:58]
on those property taxes. So, that's why
[10:00]
we don't necessarily want to include
[10:01]
them here because we don't know those
[10:02]
numbers quite yet. And so each location
[10:06]
like Broken Arrow will have a different
[10:08]
pass through and like probably like Mr.
[10:10]
Greens with a higher density of
[10:12]
highdensity housing that we want to
[10:13]
maybe pass through some more to the
[10:15]
school district or the county than the
[10:18]
industrial location on the Romney's.
[10:21]
But in any event, in all of them, if
[10:23]
there's any retail, we want the sales
[10:24]
tax pass through.
[10:28]
» And this is just saying we will get the
[10:30]
>> we will get the sales tax pass through.
[10:31]
That would have gone to the port in this
[10:32]
area. It will come to Grantsville.
[10:34]
>> I mean, and ours is is highlighted. It's
[10:37]
left blank, but this will say
[10:38]
Grantsville City.
[10:39]
>> Yes.
[10:41]
>> I need some blank.
[10:42]
>> Yeah.
[10:43]
This is add whatever you want,
[10:45]
[laughter]
[10:46]
>> Britney.
[10:47]
>> Yeah. This is the template. Uh once the
[10:49]
city council uh uh passes a resolution
[10:53]
approving the memorandum of
[10:54]
understanding, that'll then go to our
[10:56]
board uh who will who will make a motion
[10:58]
on it and then we will execute the the
[11:00]
contract.
[11:02]
I know we we went into this in a little
[11:04]
more detail back in February, but um the
[11:07]
monthly reports that are issued to the
[11:09]
city. Um I mean obviously you're doing
[11:13]
this elsewhere. What do those entail?
[11:14]
I'm just trying to un get an
[11:16]
understanding of what's involved in
[11:18]
those I guess the first question. And
[11:19]
then the second question I had was
[11:22]
regarding
[11:23]
um the pay those payments obviously um
[11:27]
are those audited by the state as well
[11:29]
in this process? Um correct. So the the
[11:33]
sales tax collection that is a little
[11:36]
different than property tax collection.
[11:38]
Sales tax collection happens on a
[11:39]
monthly cadence. Uh whereas uh property
[11:43]
taxes are are are collected on an annual
[11:45]
cadence. And so um every month that uh
[11:50]
taxes are collected, we will be turning
[11:54]
back those funds back to the city. um
[11:57]
you'll you'll find that you know those
[12:00]
amounts will will likely be really small in the beginning. Uh they
[12:03]
won't be super substantial. Um but you
[12:06]
know as more retail comes into these
[12:10]
project areas um as more sales tax gets
[12:13]
generated even in an industrial area
[12:15]
where they may have an outlet at a
[12:18]
manufacturing site. Um if any sales tax
[12:20]
is being generated you know we will we
[12:22]
will remit that back on a monthly basis.
[12:24]
And so you will get a report of what
[12:26]
that remittance looked like. Um we're
[12:28]
working really closely with the state
[12:31]
sales tax commission. Uh the state tax
[12:34]
commission um is is trying really really
[12:37]
hard to um hopefully create a process
[12:40]
where uh it won't have to come to us
[12:42]
first. It will go directly to the city
[12:45]
rather than coming to us first. We're
[12:47]
not sure if we can make that happen and it's for that auditing purpose. uh
[12:52]
we need to demonstrate that per this
[12:54]
statute we did collect our portion of
[12:57]
sales tax even though we have a
[12:59]
memorandum of understanding where we
[13:01]
remit that back to the city. And so um
[13:04]
we're we're hopeful that we can automate
[13:06]
the process so you know you don't have
[13:09]
to think about it. We don't have to
[13:10]
think about it. You get your monthly
[13:11]
reports and and um and that revenue
[13:14]
coming in like normal. Um, we just want
[13:16]
to make sure that from a an accounting
[13:19]
standpoint, uh, we're we're [snorts]
[13:21]
doing everything according to the law.
[13:25]
>> Have you ever done one of these that
[13:27]
have the property tax written in with an
[13:30]
article where there's some sort of
[13:32]
understanding that each individual
[13:34]
project or each parcel um that we'll discuss what that what that looks
[13:40]
like? So, uh, you know, we I think what
[13:43]
you're describing would would look like
[13:45]
an interlocal agreement. I think if
[13:47]
there's changes that need to be made on
[13:50]
the property, uh, tax level, uh, we
[13:53]
would want to look into going into an
[13:56]
additional agreement uh, with the city
[13:59]
and it would look more like an
[14:00]
interlocal agreement rather than anou.
[14:03]
Um, this is a a a common of enough
[14:06]
request that we've adjusted our policies
[14:09]
internally to move to anou format to
[14:13]
facilitate
[14:15]
uh us being able to go into these
[14:17]
agreements uh a lot quicker, a lot more
[14:20]
efficiently uh than having to go through
[14:22]
the interlocal agreement process which
[14:24]
is a little bit different legally. Um
[14:27]
the the the outcome is the same. you
[14:29]
know, we we remit these these taxes back
[14:31]
to the city as needed. And so if there
[14:34]
needs to be adjustments on the property
[14:36]
t the property tax side of things, um we would just request we we engage in
[14:44]
the interlocal agreement process to make
[14:46]
any of those adjustments.
[14:49]
>> Can we have that written in here
[14:52]
>> um in in this agreement?
[14:53]
>> Yeah. Um I I guess I guess are there
[14:56]
>> question
[14:58]
>> that that you would want to engage in an
[15:00]
interlocal agreement in the future
[15:02]
>> just just it's a memorandum of
[15:04]
understanding so an article of of a
[15:08]
property tax just like sales and use tax
[15:11]
to help future
[15:13]
councils and future individuals with the
[15:15]
city understand
[15:17]
you know what what that is and where
[15:19]
those agreements come from and where that dialogue starts. That's kind
[15:23]
of what I'm saying.
[15:24]
>> Yeah, I think that could be perfectly
[15:27]
appropriate for this document. Um, if
[15:30]
your team would like to suggest some
[15:32]
language that you would like to include
[15:34]
in the memorandum of understanding, um,
[15:37]
we we can run that through our board.
[15:46]
» I'd like your thoughts on it.
[15:48]
So what we're [clears throat] trying to
[15:50]
accomplish is set forth in the
[15:52]
memorandum of understanding that uh in
[15:55]
order to further negotiate the property
[15:58]
tax percentages ratios we would um enter
[16:02]
into some future interlocal agreement
[16:04]
and that would be part of the the
[16:06]
memorandum of understanding just so that
[16:09]
we've got something on paper to say that
[16:11]
at some future point if we want to
[16:12]
renegotiate some of these ratios then we
[16:15]
are going to use the the vehicle of a
[16:19]
interlocal agreement that that we're
[16:22]
contemplating that going forward just so
[16:24]
that future future officials and uh uh
[16:28]
city staff can can review this document
[16:31]
and and know that that's the avenue to
[16:33]
pursue if they want to address those
[16:35]
issues. Is that what we're trying to do?
[16:38]
I I think it's a great idea
[16:40]
>> because
[16:42]
>> in for years when other people are
[16:43]
sitting in these chairs then they have
[16:46]
that to to reference back to and have an
[16:49]
understanding as to what the procedure
[16:51]
is to make those those adjustments as
[16:56]
needed. Do you do you have any issue
[16:58]
with that Stephanie?
[16:59]
>> I don't think so. Um it's it's always on
[17:02]
the table for the city to uh to approach
[17:06]
the port and engage in an interlocal
[17:08]
agreement um with anything pertaining to
[17:11]
our project areas. Um it's it's
[17:13]
something we've done in other
[17:15]
communities. I think Salt Lake is a
[17:16]
great example. um you know, their
[17:19]
project area matured to a point where,
[17:21]
you know, they they needed to to sit
[17:23]
back down and and renegotiate, you know,
[17:26]
what uh what those those uh obligations
[17:32]
were within the project area. Um what
[17:35]
was needed by the community and how we
[17:37]
could utilize those project area funds
[17:39]
to help support the community. And so I
[17:43]
it's always been on the table for the
[17:44]
city. It always will be on the table for
[17:46]
the city. Um, I think enumerating that
[17:49]
within the memorandum is a great idea.
[17:52]
>> Perfect. Thank you.
[17:53]
>> Council is okay with with with me
[17:55]
drafting that language. I can uh I can
[17:58]
draft it, run it by city staff, and if if uh if council is okay with us
[18:03]
going forward without bringing it back,
[18:05]
we can make those changes and uh just
[18:08]
have that that that understanding put in
[18:11]
one one additional clause within that of
[18:15]
understanding.
[18:24]
Tyson, do you see any issues with number
[18:27]
10 and 16
[18:40]
mostly about the jurisdiction being in
[18:42]
Salt Lake County on number 10 and then
[18:44]
17
[18:45]
where it says or no sorry 16
[18:51]
that UIPA is not shall be liable let's
[18:55]
see in no event shall UIP be liable to
[18:59]
the city for any indirect in incidental
[19:02]
consequential special or exemp exemplary
[19:05]
damages arising out related to this
[19:07]
agreement including but not limit to
[19:09]
loss revenues anticipated profits even
[19:11]
if UIP has been advised of the
[19:14]
possibility of such damages
[19:20]
Well, that's it. So, starting with
[19:22]
number 10, um Salt Lake County being the jurisdiction. I mean, that's I I I
[19:28]
don't have a problem with that. We we do
[19:30]
like to if if we're going to file
[19:32]
something, we do typically file it with
[19:34]
Tilla County, but Salt Lake County is
[19:36]
still the third district. And really,
[19:38]
[clears throat] the the way the third
[19:39]
district works right now is they they
[19:42]
kind of share cases. And so there's a chance even if the rope to
[19:45]
Willow County here, it would would end
[19:47]
up in Salt Lake County anyway. So I
[19:49]
don't I don't have a [clears throat]
[19:50]
problem with with going to Salt Lake
[19:51]
County disputed.
[19:54]
Um, as far as 16 goes, the that that's a
[19:57]
little bit more of a a waiver that we're
[20:00]
looking at here. Um,
[20:05]
we're not waving direct damages. What
[20:08]
we're waving is um all of the uh
[20:12]
indirect incidental, consequential and
[20:15]
special exemplary damages, things like
[20:18]
punitive damages. Um
[20:21]
so I guess to the extent that um
[20:25]
we believe that there there could be
[20:26]
some downwind um indirect
[20:30]
um [clears throat] loss, we we would be
[20:32]
waving that in this in this uhou.
[20:35]
Um but there's as as far as recovery of
[20:40]
direct um um
[20:44]
>> damages, we would be able to to recover
[20:46]
those. Um so this is the um
[20:52]
the downstream impact of of some uh some
[20:56]
negligence or um or a breach that that
[21:01]
happens on behalf of of UEO would we
[21:05]
would not be able to pursue any of those
[21:08]
special types of damages that are
[21:09]
consequential.
[21:21]
So this is just a personal question.
[21:24]
While you're standing there, could you
[21:26]
give us a just a twominut? So when you
[21:29]
were here in February, I was somewhat
[21:32]
surprised and this is
[21:35]
if this is my lack of education, I
[21:37]
understand, but I was l I was really
[21:39]
surprised that the Inland Port Authority
[21:41]
had morphed into covering property that
[21:43]
would be residential.
[21:45]
>> You know, we and maybe that's just
[21:48]
visual driving by what's happening, you
[21:50]
know, in unused areas and industrial
[21:55]
kind of that arena. and then the
[21:57]
presentation where there was a heavy
[21:59]
residential component.
[22:02]
Is that working? [clears throat] Is it
[22:04]
full steam ahead? Is that being done in
[22:06]
other areas? I just want a
[22:08]
>> one minute update or is it going well?
[22:11]
>> So in in the
[22:14]
in most of our project areas um that
[22:17]
include residential, a lot of them are in rural areas. Um, the reason that
[22:24]
we've engaged in the re residential side
[22:28]
of things is is because our our project
[22:31]
areas need it. Um, and so if there's a a
[22:35]
and and we always always take the lead
[22:37]
of the community and so the the
[22:39]
community approaches us and says, "Hey,
[22:41]
we do need industrial, but we need a
[22:43]
place for the the workforce to live."
[22:47]
And so that's when we started engaging
[22:50]
in residential at the behest of the
[22:53]
communities that we're working with. Um
[22:55]
similarly with the project that we're
[22:57]
doing here in Grantsville, um we we take
[23:00]
the lead of the city and we respond to
[23:02]
the city's needs utilizing the tools
[23:04]
that the legislature has given us. Uh
[23:07]
the legislative tools we've been given
[23:08]
are are broad enough that they can
[23:11]
include things like residential. Um it really is up to the city to determine
[23:17]
what makes the most sense. Um we've had some good dialogue with the
[23:22]
county on on you know what including
[23:25]
residential in these project areas can
[23:27]
mean. Uh that's been really beneficial
[23:29]
dialogue uh since you know the the
[23:31]
property tax increment that we collect
[23:34]
uh it impacts the city and the county
[23:36]
and the school district and you know all
[23:39]
of the taxing entities that that are
[23:41]
downstream. um we're sensitive to that
[23:43]
and we want to make sure that we're focused on projects that have
[23:48]
economic significance for your city and
[23:52]
um we've we've seen it work in in other
[23:54]
project areas as well. We find that the
[23:56]
residential is complimentary to the job
[23:59]
centers that we're creating in these
[24:01]
industrial zones. Um and we hope it'll
[24:03]
be the same here in Grantsville.
[24:06]
>> Thank you.
[24:10]
If you guys were to terminate this
[24:12]
agreement, what happens to the revenue
[24:13]
that's already been generated or
[24:15]
expected?
[24:17]
>> So, the purpose of this agreement would
[24:19]
be um for us to pass through the sales
[24:23]
tax revenue um that that is generated
[24:26]
month over month. So, so you'll be
[24:28]
receiving that money month over month.
[24:30]
It won't be held for any specific amount
[24:33]
of time. Um if if for whatever reason
[24:37]
the city decides, hey, we actually want
[24:39]
to capture the sales tax revenue for
[24:41]
whatever reason, um we can use that
[24:44]
revenue in the same way we use the
[24:46]
property tax revenue for infrastructure
[24:49]
upgrades for, you know,
[24:52]
um whatever statutoal uses make sense
[24:55]
within our project area, which is
[24:57]
largely infrastructure related. um we we
[25:01]
would just continue to allow that sales
[25:04]
tax to flow throughout the life of the
[25:05]
project. Um our our project area life
[25:08]
has a statutory length of 25 years. At
[25:11]
the end of 25 years, um we we dissolve
[25:15]
that project. Um,
[25:19]
if the project area dissolves before
[25:21]
that 25-y year time horizon's up, the sales tax would would be flowing
[25:28]
through like normal as well. Um, so we
[25:30]
would dissolve that that sales tax
[25:32]
collection as well. And so, you know, in
[25:34]
the case where
[25:36]
um, you know, we're collecting it, we're
[25:38]
going to have to, you know, demonstrate
[25:40]
that we did collect it per the statute
[25:43]
um, and remit it back. Since the project
[25:45]
area has been closed, we we no longer
[25:47]
have to demonstrate that we're
[25:48]
collecting that. So, it'll just go back
[25:49]
to the city. Um, so I I did that answer
[25:52]
your question
[25:54]
>> in a roundabout way. [laughter]
[25:57]
Um I I I
[26:01]
in a f if a future council decides to
[26:04]
dissolve uh this this memorandum
[26:07]
um you know we would we would collect
[26:10]
that that sales tax and we would use it
[26:13]
the way we use the property tax
[26:16]
increment that we're collecting and we
[26:18]
would put it towards the statutory
[26:21]
earmarked uses of that of those funds
[26:25]
and and we wouldn't be able or take it
[26:27]
[snorts] away from Grantsville. We
[26:28]
wouldn't be able to use it for anything
[26:29]
other than what's uh statutoily
[26:32]
required.
[26:34]
>> Thank you.
[26:40]
Mayor, I make a motion that we approve
[26:43]
resolution 2026-26
[26:45]
approving the memorandum of
[26:47]
understanding with the Inland Port
[26:49]
Authority with the addition of an
[26:53]
article or clause
[26:55]
um directly after the sales tax
[26:59]
which is uh article three sales and use
[27:02]
tax
[27:03]
>> [clears throat]
[27:03]
>> um with a a heading of property tax and
[27:06]
having attorney Barker uh draft that up
[27:09]
and and approve that with staff and then
[27:12]
and send that on to u the the Utah
[27:15]
Inland Port Authority.
[27:17]
>> Okay, we have a motion by Council Member
[27:20]
Butler. Is there a second?
[27:22]
>> Second.
[27:22]
>> And a second by Council Member Williams.
[27:24]
All in favor?
[27:27]
>> Thank you.
[27:28]
>> Okay, thanks Stephanie.
[27:31]
Item number six is a public hearing
[27:33]
item. Um it's a discussion and
[27:36]
consideration of adopting resolution
[27:38]
2026-22
[27:40]
approving the expenditure of class C
[27:42]
road funds for road department
[27:43]
equipment. So we're going to have the
[27:46]
presentation by our roads department
[27:48]
first and then if there um are any
[27:52]
anybody that would like to make a
[27:54]
comment is able to do that following the
[27:56]
presentation. So, we'll turn that um to
[28:00]
Ben now, our roads
[28:03]
department supervisor.
[28:06]
>> Good evening, Mayor and Council. I am
[28:08]
Ben Henderson, the road department
[28:10]
supervisor for Grantsville. Um been here
[28:13]
since first part of January, end of
[28:15]
December. I appreciate the opportunity.
[28:17]
Um
[28:19]
I come with a pretty strong background
[28:21]
of asphalt maintenance and preservation.
[28:25]
uh starting with my time at uh Bernal
[28:29]
City as just a regular road hand and
[28:32]
then moving on to South Salt Lake for
[28:34]
several years, growing to a supervisor
[28:36]
at that position and then moving on to
[28:39]
Kemer, Wyoming for several years as
[28:41]
public works director, running the
[28:43]
airport and many other assets uh besides
[28:46]
roads, parks, doing uh all those
[28:49]
maintenance duties there. small crew
[28:51]
similar to here uh with 70 road miles
[28:55]
very similar to here as well. Um and
[28:58]
then moving on to Duchen County where I
[29:01]
spent eight years uh growing my
[29:05]
extending my expertise and learning a
[29:08]
lot of the traits that I have today with
[29:10]
asphalt maintenance and doing uh
[29:14]
reclamation projects with zippers. And
[29:17]
uh I call I I love to call it zip and
[29:20]
chip. So we we zip a road, we come back
[29:22]
in and we can either chip it or pave it.
[29:24]
There's just lots of different um
[29:27]
applications that we can use in that. In
[29:30]
this presentation, there will be several
[29:32]
photos that we can if you have questions
[29:34]
during this process, feel free. We can
[29:37]
do it either buy piece of equipment that
[29:40]
I'm asking for at the end, ask me any
[29:42]
questions or we can wait till we get
[29:44]
down to the bottom line and then go from
[29:46]
there however you feel. So we can start
[29:48]
going through the slides.
[29:57]
Okay, we go back to
[30:00]
[snorts] that. that one is this this is
[30:02]
just our strategic equipment investment
[30:03]
to maintain Grantsville's roads to
[30:05]
reduce long-term repairs and cost which
[30:07]
we are behind the curve on quite a ways
[30:09]
in in the city. Um but we're going to
[30:11]
get ahead of it pretty quickly. That's
[30:13]
my goal. So um you can move to the next
[30:16]
slide please. Then this is for a
[30:18]
crackill machine which we just rented to
[30:21]
get the ball rolling until we could get
[30:23]
this equipment bought. We did complete
[30:26]
about 93% or 95% of Anderson Ranches at
[30:30]
this point by renting a piece of
[30:32]
equipment. Um, we did not get a couple
[30:34]
of those roads on the 26 list for
[30:36]
crackill. That'll bring our PSI up
[30:40]
dramatically once we drive that with our
[30:42]
analytic system. And uh, so we just made
[30:47]
a big jump on it. The thing that I did
[30:49]
notice and our crews did notice that the
[30:51]
cracks because I'm not sure how old
[30:54]
Anderson Ranches is, but it's got to be
[30:56]
plus 10 years, right? Um, some of those
[30:58]
cracks sucked up that oil pretty good.
[31:00]
So, that tells me there's voids already
[31:03]
being created through the through water
[31:06]
and so we've caught that, but we may be
[31:09]
a little bit late. They may start
[31:11]
sinking at some point, but we're we're at least doing something. So, and
[31:16]
I and I would fear that any road within
[31:19]
the city at this point, we just need to
[31:22]
jump on and get ahead. So, the 5-year
[31:24]
pro program would be to do about
[31:26]
approximately
[31:29]
15 tons, which covers approximately 25
[31:32]
miles. It depends on the road, uh, how
[31:34]
many cracks, what's there, how much
[31:36]
sinking we're we're getting in those
[31:39]
roads. So currently we started out with
[31:42]
16 tons and we ended up we had to give
[31:44]
the machine back because they sold it.
[31:46]
Uh we we have 3 and 12 tons left in the
[31:49]
yard that we can put in the fall when
[31:51]
things start cooling down. Crack seal
[31:52]
needs to kind of go down in cooler
[31:54]
temperatures. It's it's much better
[31:57]
because the cracks are at their widest
[32:00]
at that point.
[32:01]
>> [snorts]
[32:01]
>> So, um, if you have any questions on the
[32:05]
return of investment, uh, we can go or
[32:08]
any questions on this slide. Basically,
[32:11]
for every dollar invested in a crack
[32:12]
sealing project saves you about $48 in
[32:16]
future road maintenance. Um, and I kind
[32:20]
of ran off numbers of adding five miles
[32:22]
per year. We currently have 95 miles in
[32:24]
the in the city and uh, we'll be ending
[32:28]
up at five years. That's assumptive. So
[32:32]
115 miles over the five years,
[32:36]
which we'd have depending on that year,
[32:39]
we would have somewhere between 35 and
[32:42]
$40,000 in annual budget. And we can go
[32:46]
to the next slide. It'll show the um
[32:50]
so
[32:52]
we bought crack seal this year under
[32:54]
contract, state contract for $1,100 a
[32:57]
ton. So based on numbers and throughout
[33:02]
Utah is 12-,800 per ton for us to do our
[33:04]
own material. If you contract that out,
[33:08]
which we had even bids much higher than
[33:10]
6,500. I had one contractor bid the
[33:12]
parking lot at public works was in
[33:14]
excess of 13,000. So for one ton or
[33:18]
three ton, excuse me. So um it could go
[33:22]
higher than the $65 $6,500
[33:25]
per ton. So that saves us annually
[33:28]
between 90 and you know or between 42 to
[33:32]
58,000 in annual. So we pay that machine
[33:34]
back somewhere between two and one and a
[33:36]
half to two years $85,000 investment
[33:42]
and posing the you know the question is
[33:44]
to lease it or rent it. It it just runs
[33:47]
into the same problem. We only have two
[33:49]
companies in the state of Utah that
[33:50]
really rent their equipment and you're
[33:53]
stacking with everybody else that needs
[33:55]
it. UD do is probably one of the largest
[33:57]
renters in the state. So they get kind
[34:00]
of first precedence. If we don't jump on
[34:02]
it early and get it, we may not get a
[34:04]
machine during the period that we need
[34:05]
it. So it's this way we can attack other
[34:08]
things besides just crack sealing. We
[34:11]
can go out and deal with our water cuts
[34:13]
which have kind of been neglected over
[34:15]
the years. Not purposely, but it's
[34:18]
there's just no way to they've kind of
[34:20]
used tac in the past. It doesn't work
[34:22]
very well, but it does work. Um but uh
[34:25]
we can deal with other things at our at
[34:29]
our leisure when we need to. Um when we
[34:32]
have slow times, we keep the crews busy
[34:34]
doing other things.
[34:37]
So that's the crack seal investment.
[34:41]
We can move on to the mask. So this is a
[34:44]
picture of unfortunately our videos. We
[34:46]
ran into some technical issues. I had
[34:48]
quite a few videos on here. This was a
[34:50]
drone flight of saddle when we first got
[34:53]
started. It'll show you going down
[34:54]
around saddle, but uh we didn't it it's
[34:57]
not going to play. So, if if you want
[34:59]
these videos, I'm more than happy to try
[35:01]
to send them to you. They just didn't
[35:02]
download very well. Um there's a lot of file there. So, but this was a
[35:07]
drone flight of saddle
[35:09]
as our crews were doing it.
[35:13]
Mastic has grown is growing in in uh
[35:16]
popularity over the last seven to eight
[35:19]
years really. It's been around for more
[35:21]
than that, but popularity wise, it's
[35:23]
really starting to take a grip. Um it's
[35:25]
great for uh deficiencies in the road
[35:28]
like potholes or starting of potholes.
[35:30]
Um, when you have your meat lines for
[35:32]
your asphalt, your cold joints, you can
[35:35]
get in there and crack seal or you can
[35:37]
mastic those and it acts as a much
[35:41]
better sealer than crack seal in a lot
[35:42]
of places. When you get a real wide gap,
[35:44]
it fills that gap very well. Uh, it's
[35:47]
chippable, so you can chip over it. You
[35:49]
can m you can do your slurry seals, your
[35:51]
microsurfaces,
[35:53]
pave over it. It's very it it it h works
[35:57]
really well in that condition.
[36:00]
So to contract that work, it's usually
[36:02]
$6 a foot per foot, 120,000 a year based
[36:06]
on my numbers of using 50 ton a year. Uh
[36:10]
the annual savings if we buy this
[36:12]
machine and do it oursself is somewhere
[36:14]
between 40 and 80,000 a year. And the
[36:16]
payback would be about 1.2 years based
[36:18]
on that 50. 50 is an assumptive number,
[36:21]
but that would be my goal to get us
[36:24]
ahead. We have a lot of areas that we
[36:27]
can do that. We can smooth out rides. We
[36:29]
can do we can stack it. So when you have
[36:31]
a indent in the road, you can put a thin
[36:34]
layer over it, come back and another
[36:36]
thin layer and it'll help you with your
[36:38]
rideability.
[36:43]
There's some pictures of the mastic
[36:45]
going down in different generally you do
[36:47]
uh drag boxes. They have one foot, two
[36:49]
foot, four foot boxes depending on the
[36:52]
deficiency.
[36:54]
You can also hand iron it. So this is uh
[36:59]
a truck that I found when I was at
[37:00]
Duchen County. Uh the seme truck I
[37:03]
believe was born for the for this
[37:05]
environment small city. I used it in the
[37:08]
county of 4,500 miles with about 600
[37:11]
miles of paving with our efforts of
[37:13]
chipsill zip and chips. Unfortunately I
[37:17]
had a video that showed the truck in use
[37:19]
in Duchain but I don't have that didn't
[37:21]
download as well. So it'll it'll handle
[37:24]
chip sealing, gives ability to seal
[37:26]
coat, fog, uh some other applications of
[37:29]
oil, um scrub sealing, you can drag a
[37:33]
broom behind it and come back behind
[37:34]
that at a later date and chip over it
[37:37]
and make a better road. And then
[37:39]
multi-surface applications, just
[37:41]
different oils. Uh there's a lot of
[37:43]
different companies out there that offer
[37:44]
us a lot of gamut on different oils that
[37:47]
we can use that will uh rejuvenate the
[37:51]
asphalt, bring it back to life and give
[37:53]
us the ability to cover it up when it's
[37:55]
it the sun just beats on it. Vehicles,
[37:58]
it'll help us with that
[38:01]
single operator. Um
[38:04]
>> that's kind of a huge thing.
[38:05]
>> That's a big thing. There's one guy
[38:07]
running the truck. It's still an
[38:08]
operation, but it's one guy running the
[38:10]
truck. All one button push operation.
[38:14]
You can It widens out 15 ft. It drops
[38:17]
the oil one foot in front of the chip.
[38:19]
So you you can release traffic a lot
[38:22]
faster than trying to pull a train, the
[38:24]
chip seal. I don't know if anybody's
[38:26]
familiar with seeing chip seal
[38:28]
operations. Usually there's 20 trucks, a
[38:30]
big chip seals, you know, piece of
[38:32]
equipment and oil trucks. It requires a
[38:35]
big crew. This cuts your crew in half.
[38:37]
You can really get it down to a roller
[38:40]
operator, the truck operator, and then
[38:43]
an operator to load the truck with
[38:45]
chips. And then you have your flaggers
[38:48]
basically, and you can cut traffic back
[38:49]
on it fairly quick depending on the oil
[38:51]
you choose.
[38:52]
Within
[38:54]
maximum a couple of hours, you can have
[38:56]
traffic on that oil.
[38:58]
So,
[39:01]
yeah, that was the video. So, we can it
[39:03]
didn't download. So, unfortunately, That
[39:06]
truck is uh I did talk to the sales rep
[39:09]
again. Uh I originated that conversation
[39:11]
with him to get the numbers that I did
[39:13]
for this presentation. I spoke with him
[39:16]
today. They have one that's just
[39:18]
stepping out of manufacturing in South Carolina. He thought it was
[39:22]
ready to ship. So we have that truck
[39:25]
being available at our if we choose to
[39:28]
adopt it. uh pneumatic wheel rollers.
[39:32]
They they call it a loader in this, but
[39:34]
it's actually it's a pneumatic roller.
[39:37]
You use it for chip roll your chip over.
[39:39]
Lays the rock down into the oil for full
[39:41]
emulsion into the oil. And then you can
[39:44]
also use it for your for road widening
[39:46]
projects and other projects that we need
[39:48]
to do within the city, zip and chip
[39:50]
projects. Lay that. It it acts just like
[39:53]
a steel drum roller in some cases. It
[39:55]
will give you a strong compaction. So,
[39:58]
it's just kind of an allin-one machine
[40:00]
versus doing steel drum. You can't
[40:02]
really roll chip with a steel drum.
[40:04]
People do it, but it crushes the rock.
[40:06]
And we're going to be using, my idea was
[40:08]
use much smaller rock than I've used in
[40:11]
the past. Duchang County, Lee County.
[40:14]
Um, you were using anywhere from 3/4 to
[40:17]
58 rock because of the semi and oil
[40:20]
fields that I'm used to working in. So
[40:22]
they use a much bigger rock and that we
[40:25]
use more I'm looking at more like a 38
[40:27]
or smaller if I can get it. So that's
[40:29]
better for environment in the
[40:31]
neighborhoods. People don't like chip
[40:32]
seals in neighborhoods. I will not chip
[40:34]
seal a culde-sac. It's just not a good
[40:36]
idea with all the turning and the
[40:38]
ripping of it. But you can do everything
[40:40]
else pretty much all your straight runs
[40:42]
and get that and then you can fog it
[40:44]
with a a a good oil to fog it. Lock
[40:48]
those rocks in and you don't get near
[40:50]
the rough ride. you don't get all the
[40:52]
skateboard problems, kids on their
[40:54]
boards complaining about it. Uh, as well
[40:57]
as then you can come back over and do a
[40:59]
uh scrub seal. There's a lot of
[41:01]
different things we can do with that.
[41:06]
Your return on investment on that is
[41:08]
about two to three years typically.
[41:12]
And I had a video here too for the Timco
[41:15]
500. It's the strongest sweeper. It's
[41:17]
what all the contractors are gone to for
[41:19]
chip sills currently. the big
[41:21]
[clears throat] granite construction and
[41:22]
most everybody is using this particular
[41:24]
sweeper because of its power to pick up.
[41:26]
That video actually shows them dumping
[41:29]
that road base on the road and showing
[41:31]
it picking it up completely. Um over
[41:34]
time you've got to do maintenance on
[41:35]
sweepers, but it versus a sweeper we
[41:38]
have that's the box is rusted. It
[41:41]
doesn't have any vacuum. It can't keep a
[41:43]
vacuum. We just don't we don't even use
[41:45]
it. So, um, that is an all-in-one
[41:48]
machine. What will give us ability to
[41:50]
sweep the streets as well as sweep after
[41:51]
our chip sills. The good thing about the
[41:53]
Seekmier truck is it's very efficient.
[41:55]
So, we don't end up with that big pile
[41:57]
of rocks on the road that you have to
[41:58]
sweep off. It's it's tight. It runs a
[42:02]
very tight rock and oil. You have very
[42:05]
little waste with that truck. So, we I
[42:08]
feel like we wouldn't have near the rock
[42:09]
to pick up that you would in a regular
[42:11]
chip sill.
[42:13]
On that one, you're looking at about
[42:15]
three year three to five years. Most
[42:16]
likely in the end of the when you're
[42:18]
paying that much money for that piece of
[42:19]
equipment, it it's going to be on that
[42:22]
four to five year range.
[42:27]
Asphalt zipper. Um I'm I'm a big
[42:31]
proponent for the use of those.
[42:32]
Unfortunately, we had one and uh just
[42:35]
needed other things and uh but we're
[42:38]
going to I'd like to present getting it
[42:40]
back. Uh there's a lot of things that we
[42:42]
can do like South Street needs to be re
[42:44]
rehabilitated. There's a lot of things
[42:46]
you can do with rotoill um and just
[42:49]
taking up old roads. Uh there's several
[42:51]
roads that I would, you know, recommend
[42:53]
that we go back. You try not to use it
[42:55]
in high utility areas, but we can
[42:58]
maneuver around those utilities or you
[43:00]
just go up to them and then you you may
[43:02]
end up tearing out some asphalt to get
[43:05]
to that. But you just put rotomill back
[43:07]
in. So, uh, if you're going to do a zip
[43:10]
and ship, that's one thing or a repave.
[43:13]
So, they call that, uh,
[43:16]
reclamation,
[43:18]
but, uh, in place reclamation. So,
[43:21]
purchase price for the new updated
[43:23]
version of the of the asphalt zipper
[43:26]
comes with a water tank. It has It used
[43:28]
to have a very cumbersome box that you'd
[43:31]
have to mount to get to so you could
[43:33]
either zip without the box or the box,
[43:37]
but they've integrated that now to where
[43:39]
the box is integrated in the system.
[43:40]
It's not something that comes off. It's
[43:42]
just part of the system. So, it's it's a
[43:44]
much better machine than it was before.
[43:46]
They the good thing about asphalt
[43:48]
zippers, they they do spend a lot of
[43:50]
money on bringing out the latest piece
[43:53]
of equipment. So,
[43:56]
we could do, you know, my two two and a
[43:58]
half miles is assumptive, but just based
[44:00]
on what we have out there and what I'm
[44:02]
seeing and we have roads that need to be
[44:04]
treated. Um, even dirt roads we can do
[44:07]
and a really good treatment with that as
[44:09]
well. So, payback period on that piece
[44:11]
of machine is between two and three
[44:13]
years based on what we can do.
[44:18]
So, these are pictures. The upper
[44:19]
pictures are is a road that went to our
[44:22]
gravel pit in Lee County that I did just
[44:24]
before I left there. Um, one of many
[44:27]
roads that we did and I've got over 100
[44:29]
miles that I did in Duchain similar to
[44:31]
this. You'll see the rock is bigger
[44:33]
because I mentioned that that's half to
[44:35]
58 rock. Um, but that is a road that's
[44:38]
the before and that's the after. So
[44:40]
that's that's what you end up with a
[44:42]
double chip. Uh, makes for a very good
[44:44]
road. And then you seal over that with a a seal coat
[44:50]
to blacken it up. The lower pictures are
[44:53]
from a friend of mine up in Boise. She
[44:55]
uh is the public works director up
[44:57]
there. That is a curb and gutter
[44:59]
scenario with chipsill and fogging. So
[45:01]
that's what it would look like with fog
[45:04]
oil over the top of the small chip. And
[45:06]
they use a 38 chip there down to a 5/8
[45:09]
or down to a 316. So,
[45:14]
the key to it is get it fogged and get
[45:16]
it covered up.
[45:18]
Okay.
[45:20]
Uh, water tanker. Um, many reasons why
[45:23]
many uses for that, many reasons why
[45:25]
it's good to water your chips down
[45:27]
before you load them in the truck. So,
[45:29]
that gives us the ability to wet those
[45:31]
chips down a couple of days before we
[45:32]
start our project because the oil loves
[45:35]
water in rock. So, if you have some
[45:37]
those soaked up a little bit, you don't
[45:39]
want them drenched, but you want some
[45:40]
moisture in there. Gives us the ability
[45:42]
to to uh wet down our dirt roads when we
[45:46]
need to grade them as well as keep dust
[45:49]
suppression down and many other uses. We
[45:51]
have, you know, we have a bunch of
[45:53]
rotomill that I just spent time
[45:54]
screening with uh that needed screened
[45:57]
out in our pit that was just kind of
[45:59]
sitting there with big chunks. So we got
[46:01]
a screen and went through that and ended
[46:02]
up with quite a bit of that road to mill
[46:04]
and I my future would be to hope get
[46:07]
with you do and get as much of that
[46:09]
that's available to us in the future
[46:10]
because it it really is a good tool for
[46:13]
building roads. You got to do it right
[46:15]
and water's the biggest key. You'll see
[46:18]
that as I I just built a ADA ramp out
[46:21]
here at the rodeo grounds with road to
[46:23]
mill and water. So you take a look at
[46:25]
that.
[46:28]
So,
[46:30]
um, but so talking with Michael and
[46:33]
working things out with what we want to
[46:35]
do in the future with roads and widening
[46:37]
roads and road projects, we went through
[46:39]
the scenario of getting a greater or
[46:41]
dealing with and I and dealing with a
[46:43]
sales rep and doing my due diligence
[46:46]
that the 275 CAT and the and the smart
[46:50]
blade with the ability to hook up GPS is
[46:54]
a really good version for us. cost
[46:57]
effective wise if you're looking at over
[46:59]
a half a million dollar investment for a
[47:00]
greater can take that GPS system and
[47:03]
work with it or this piece of equipment
[47:05]
is $120 $130,000 GPS so um that gives
[47:11]
you the ability to you know do your do
[47:13]
your grading your 2% even without the
[47:15]
GPS that the smart blade comes with the
[47:18]
ability it hooks up it integrates with
[47:20]
the machine it tells you your 2% your 1%
[47:23]
your crimes your your digs it levels
[47:26]
out. It's It's a very good system that
[47:28]
CAT has CAT's got the best piece of
[47:31]
equipment when it comes to that. So,
[47:33]
this will give us the ability to do road
[47:35]
widening projects and other projects
[47:38]
within the city and save a bunch of
[47:41]
money in contractor abilities or
[47:43]
contractors, you know. So, pay back on
[47:47]
that piece of equipment is about 2.2
[47:50]
years.
[47:52]
So, two and a half years based on what
[47:54]
we can save.
[47:56]
And I'm looking at, you know, poss,
[47:58]
we're looking at the ability to hire a
[48:01]
uh supervisor and somebody that has the
[48:04]
ability to work with GPS in the future.
[48:07]
I can tell you my crews and probably
[48:10]
some of the best crews I've ever had,
[48:12]
too. So, they're they're very apt to
[48:15]
pick that up as well. So,
[48:19]
» how many individuals do you have on your
[48:20]
crew right now?
[48:22]
>> Three.
[48:22]
or four, excuse me. And then yeah,
[48:25]
and we're lacking the one supervisor, so
[48:27]
it'll be six with me.
[48:34]
I'm doing pretty good. I must say the
[48:36]
guys with the number of people we have,
[48:38]
we're doing pretty good. We bounce
[48:39]
around a lot. That was a video of the
[48:42]
blade with the w those wings open and
[48:45]
closed so you can close the product and
[48:46]
carry it. Gives you a lot of abilities.
[48:51]
Um, late into this I found out we were
[48:54]
probably giving our old truck, our old
[48:56]
dump truck to the sewer department with
[48:57]
their with their need with the new sewer
[49:00]
plant. So, I put together the pricing
[49:02]
for Freight Liner came in with the
[49:04]
lowest bid for the cabin chassis. What
[49:07]
we're what I'm recommending is we take
[49:09]
the old stainless steel bed off the old
[49:11]
truck, retrofit it to the new truck, and
[49:14]
then we'll get all new plow mechanisms
[49:16]
uh operational because it it doesn't old
[49:18]
stuff doesn't integrate well with new
[49:20]
trucks. So, it's just best we spend the
[49:22]
extra money to get new plow controls,
[49:25]
put a new plow plate that adapts to the
[49:28]
current plow and sander that we have.
[49:30]
So, uh with that savings, you're saving
[49:33]
between 80 and 150,000 by not buying a
[49:36]
truck with all a new bed, new plow
[49:39]
retrofit. So,
[49:45]
and then we are in need of some pickups
[49:47]
in the we have a couple real old trucks
[49:49]
in the road department that are two
[49:51]
wheel drive. One's a two wheel drive
[49:53]
that's got a it's pretty old and then
[49:55]
the other one is it's well on its way as
[49:57]
well. So, I'm recommending we move to
[50:00]
3500 crew cabs so we can put fuel cells
[50:03]
in the back of them and give us the
[50:04]
ability to fuel in the field versus
[50:07]
coming back every day and refueling it.
[50:10]
at the UD do shed. Uh it just gives us
[50:12]
more mobility to do that. So that's why
[50:15]
I recommend going to the 3500s. I've
[50:17]
started getting bids. Uh some of the
[50:19]
first bids came back from I have a
[50:21]
really extensive contact list with
[50:24]
dealerships that I've worked through my
[50:26]
times in municipalities as well as uh in
[50:30]
my earlier life. My dad had a tire shop
[50:32]
in Salt Lake for 40 years and I was
[50:33]
outside sales for that for a long time
[50:36]
and I dealt with every car dealer in the
[50:39]
state of Utah. So I have a very
[50:41]
extensive list of people that give me
[50:43]
good prices. So initially the prices I
[50:46]
set high but Dodge came in with under 50
[50:50]
for that truck for a gas truck. So, um,
[50:53]
to and then we we're looking at doing a
[50:57]
work box on one of them and that would
[50:59]
boost that by about 13,000
[51:02]
depending on the box we choose.
[51:05]
So,
[51:07]
and then the equipment king trailer to
[51:11]
pull behind our dump trucks, our
[51:12]
bobtails. That will give us the ability
[51:14]
to haul back hose. Uh, the track the
[51:17]
min's double. With that trailer, we
[51:19]
could haul two mini X's to one location
[51:21]
if we needed to or stack them and move
[51:23]
them around for different divisions
[51:26]
quicker. And our, you know, some of our
[51:29]
trailers that we have currently are a
[51:30]
little underutilized size-wise and
[51:32]
they're just they're not really the best
[51:34]
trailer for what we're using it for. So,
[51:36]
it gives us a much broader ability to
[51:39]
haul a lot more equipment
[51:42]
instead of road it. you know, we're
[51:44]
roing our back hose and it it it gets
[51:47]
expensive to to start roing equipment
[51:49]
around the city as we grow. It's just
[51:51]
probably a better way to go.
[51:54]
And then my sign guy sometimes he's a
[51:57]
lone wolf and this is a towbehind unit.
[51:59]
It we did rent one from Home Depot has
[52:01]
those and we rented one for just to make
[52:03]
sure that it vested out and it it worked
[52:07]
wonderfully. It doesn't do great or no
[52:10]
augur really does great in rocky soil,
[52:12]
but it gives him the ability to it's a
[52:14]
lot less maintenance or uh labor on him
[52:18]
to dig a hole for a sign. So, we would
[52:22]
make that the sign for signs and other
[52:24]
stuff that we do.
[52:27]
So, and then this is the cost of all the
[52:30]
equipment together piece by piece and my
[52:34]
notes or certain things. So if you guys
[52:36]
have any questions based on that, I
[52:39]
stand for questions.
[52:56]
» You want to do the public hearing before
[52:59]
questions?
[53:00]
>> That's kind of what I was thinking, too.
[53:02]
[clears throat]
[53:02]
>> Let's uh let's hear if anyone's here to
[53:04]
make any public comment. All right.
[53:06]
>> And then we can
[53:07]
>> then we'll bring you back up if that's
[53:09]
all right.
[53:09]
>> That's perfect. Okay.
[53:11]
>> And or Christie
[53:13]
>> and perhaps Aspen too with financial
[53:15]
side. [clears throat]
[53:17]
>> Was there anybody who would like to make
[53:18]
a a public comment on this this item
[53:21]
after hearing the presentation?
[53:27]
Anybody online?
[53:37]
All right.
[53:40]
Does anybody have any questions at this
[53:41]
point? Would you like me to bring Ben
[53:43]
back up?
[53:45]
If we can have Aspen kind of walk
[53:47]
through the finances,
[53:49]
I think is where you're gonna go with
[53:51]
that. Let's just go right [laughter]
[53:52]
there. We were reviewing the budget and
[53:54]
the mayor
[53:55]
>> wants to utilize the the weather. So, we
[53:58]
wanted to put this on the budget right
[53:59]
now instead of waiting for the the new
[54:01]
budget year to try and get ahead on this
[54:03]
and start repairing our roads.
[54:07]
>> What questions do you have?
[54:08]
>> Kind of walk you through how where the
[54:10]
money is currently and how much is
[54:13]
there.
[54:14]
>> Okay. So, every month I send you guys a
[54:16]
copy of our financials. Um, this is
[54:18]
indicated on page two of those
[54:20]
financials. About the eighth line down,
[54:23]
it is account 10165.
[54:25]
This is our class C road PTIFF. It's the
[54:27]
PTIF 1425.
[54:29]
Um, that's where our class C road money
[54:32]
sits. And so, as of March 31st, 2026,
[54:37]
there's $4,796,8501
[54:41]
in that account. Um, so sufficient to
[54:46]
cover the $3 million price tag on these
[54:48]
things. Um, class C road funds are
[54:52]
basically distributed from the state
[54:54]
based on fuel tax. Um, it's distributed
[54:58]
based on population and miles of road.
[55:01]
Um, so every city, county gets different
[55:04]
amounts based on those two factors. Um
[55:09]
it's
[55:11]
really
[55:13]
so that's where the money comes from I
[55:14]
guess. So uh if you have questions there
[55:18]
um but it is restrict before you go on
[55:21]
to that would you just maybe make it
[55:24]
just so that everybody in the public and
[55:26]
even the council as well understands
[55:28]
it's not like you can just take the
[55:29]
class C road money and say oh well we're
[55:31]
going to stick it into the sewer because
[55:33]
we need a new sewer treatment. Just make
[55:36]
an explan explain that segueing.
[55:38]
Perfect. [laughter]
[55:39]
>> Okay, perfect.
[55:40]
>> So, it is very restricted on how we use
[55:42]
this money. It is a restricted fund.
[55:44]
It's give it um it's distributed by the
[55:48]
state and we it's state code R 926 if
[55:53]
you guys want to look it up, but that's
[55:54]
where they specified how we can use the
[55:56]
class B, which would be the county, and
[55:58]
the class C, which is our road funds.
[56:00]
And it has to be for roads within our
[56:03]
community. That's why we get it is to
[56:04]
help us afford to maintain the roads
[56:08]
that we have here within. Um so one
[56:12]
qualifying is to purchase equipment and
[56:13]
machinery to construct and maintain our
[56:16]
roads. Um so all of these would qualify
[56:19]
within that. It is specified that it's
[56:23]
for road equipment. We can't just say oh
[56:26]
this dozer's a road dozer and then you
[56:29]
know someone else is always using it. it
[56:31]
has to be specifically
[56:33]
for roads like road maintenance. Um I
[56:36]
think Ben did a good job to explain why
[56:38]
all of that equipment was necessary for
[56:41]
his department in roads. Um
[56:45]
the one thing with that with it being
[56:48]
the restricted fund is we report every
[56:50]
year in our audit that we have those
[56:53]
funds and they're restricted or we
[56:55]
report that we've used those funds for
[56:57]
qualifying events. And so we can't even
[57:00]
really truly borrow from the road fund
[57:03]
solely because at that year end you have
[57:06]
to show that you still have that same
[57:08]
amount of money restricted or have spent
[57:10]
on a qualifying fund. So we couldn't
[57:12]
even say well we're going to borrow from
[57:14]
the roads fund for a couple of years and
[57:17]
then pay it back. You can't. It has to
[57:20]
be within you within that same year you
[57:22]
have to show that you have 4.7 million
[57:25]
or whatever our number is at that point
[57:27]
restricted for this. So you you can't
[57:29]
just use it to help you float cash from
[57:31]
year to year. The state looks at that
[57:33]
every year with our audit. So
[57:36]
>> thank you.
[57:38]
>> Anything else?
[57:38]
>> Does anybody have any questions for
[57:39]
Aspen and the financial side of this?
[57:42]
>> I do. So if we use this 3 million, which
[57:45]
is a lot of money, we're still having
[57:46]
enough money for other things, right?
[57:48]
We're not going to like be draining our
[57:49]
account. today something else.
[57:51]
>> There'll still be 1.7 sitting in the
[57:54]
PTIF and that's separate from um you
[57:57]
know where we're Yeah. So there would
[57:59]
still be
[58:02]
>> every year usually
[58:03]
>> about 1.3 million every year. And the
[58:07]
way it's been used before is the city
[58:09]
went out and contracted with outside
[58:12]
contractors, sorry, to come and do this
[58:15]
maintenance for us. And this way we'll
[58:17]
be able to do it in house.
[58:20]
because we did we didn't have the
[58:21]
equipment.
[58:25]
» So, in essence, we're going to get far
[58:27]
more miles repaired or maintained or
[58:30]
created as opposed to the contracted
[58:33]
price, which it looked to me about three
[58:36]
times higher than doing it yourself.
[58:38]
>> Yes.
[58:38]
>> And some some things will have to be
[58:40]
contracted just because of
[58:43]
>> equipment. We can't buy every piece of
[58:45]
equipment for something that we need.
[58:47]
It's the right tool for the right road
[58:49]
at the right time, right? It's the same.
[58:51]
There may be some services that we need
[58:52]
to rent a piece of equipment for to for
[58:54]
our crews to do as far as applications
[58:57]
um outside of what we're buying, but and
[59:00]
then sometimes just because of workload,
[59:02]
we may have to have somebody come and
[59:04]
help us do certain things. Hopefully, we
[59:06]
can try to tackle most of that. That's
[59:08]
my my goal, but it it may be an
[59:12]
inevitable that that's why we'll have
[59:14]
some contingency for that. My goal is to
[59:17]
try to trim that down dramatically.
[59:22]
[clears throat]
[59:28]
» Christie, could I could I ask you a
[59:30]
question?
[59:31]
>> Um, do you feel like that we've
[59:34]
underutilized this fund over the last
[59:36]
few years and and not done more with it?
[59:39]
seems like I mean it's obvious we
[59:41]
have $4.7 million in that fund and maybe
[59:44]
we've done all that we can do
[59:49]
but could we have done more? I guess I
[59:52]
want to say
[59:52]
>> um we didn't have the expertise with
[59:55]
that we have with Ben now that for
[59:58]
knowing what to do and how to do it
[1:00:00]
either. So we didn't have the equipment,
[1:00:02]
the manpower or the expertise. So again,
[1:00:05]
we were given an amount and we would go
[1:00:08]
out to bid and we would say we think we
[1:00:11]
should do this much road or what to do
[1:00:13]
with it and did it to the best that we
[1:00:16]
could with that amount of money each
[1:00:17]
year. So,
[1:00:19]
>> but contracted out
[1:00:23]
>> and I mean yes it's a big investment but
[1:00:26]
um would you say what's the us doing it
[1:00:30]
ourselves and having the expertise here
[1:00:33]
with us which I think is great that
[1:00:36]
we've got Ben on board. Um
[1:00:39]
what do you think the I mean we saw a
[1:00:41]
lot of savings a lot of numbers up
[1:00:42]
there. So, is hiring a contractor three
[1:00:46]
times more expensive, five times more
[1:00:48]
expensive? I mean, what's your what's
[1:00:50]
your thought on?
[1:00:51]
>> Like Ben said, there's some things we
[1:00:52]
don't have the equipment to do. To do a
[1:00:54]
full reconstruction, we don't have the
[1:00:57]
ability to do it. It would cost us way
[1:01:00]
too much time to do it. Even with
[1:01:02]
renting the equipment, but being able to
[1:01:05]
crack seal ourself is at least three
[1:01:07]
times savings.
[1:01:14]
And when it's not done, you just
[1:01:18]
shorten the lifespan of that roadway
[1:01:20]
specific.
[1:01:20]
>> Yeah. Just like we learned last night,
[1:01:22]
we build a road to last 20 years, but if
[1:01:25]
it's preserved by crack, sill, fog,
[1:01:28]
slurry, those things, then it can be
[1:01:31]
indefinite depending on the traffic. Of
[1:01:33]
course, roads can break down if they're
[1:01:35]
not built to the um level of use, but we
[1:01:40]
can get a lot further on our residential
[1:01:43]
roads.
[1:01:45]
>> Let me ask you a specific road and
[1:01:47]
whether or not we could do it. South
[1:01:49]
Street,
[1:01:50]
>> dirt road.
[1:01:50]
>> Yes. So,
[1:01:52]
>> is that something that
[1:01:53]
>> with this equipment we could do South
[1:01:54]
Street ourselves?
[1:01:57]
>> So, he a year ago because that would
[1:01:59]
have been a great bypass.
[1:02:00]
>> Yeah. [laughter] Yeah.
[1:02:02]
You're fine to come back up, buddy.
[1:02:05]
>> Yeah, that that would be really the
[1:02:07]
perfect road for the zipper. Go in
[1:02:09]
there, reclaim all that, bring in some
[1:02:11]
fresh stuff as well, get it all blended
[1:02:13]
in there very well, and then you can do
[1:02:15]
a double chip and end up with that
[1:02:16]
picture that I showed you from Lee
[1:02:18]
County. So, that's one version. Or you
[1:02:21]
could spend the money to pave it. That
[1:02:23]
chipping it with a double chip is far
[1:02:25]
less money to do costwise than it is to
[1:02:29]
do uh overlay. So, and it'll buy you you
[1:02:33]
a good double chip road should last you
[1:02:36]
minimum 10 years with another
[1:02:38]
application of chip within that 7 to 10
[1:02:41]
year mark. So, there's there's this
[1:02:43]
technic curve. I may be using the wrong
[1:02:46]
language, but there's a curve in the in
[1:02:48]
our in our industry that shows new
[1:02:51]
pavement from the time it's installed
[1:02:52]
and it dra drastically starts dropping
[1:02:54]
over 20 years. So you with the
[1:02:57]
three-legged stool system at seven five
[1:03:00]
to seven years you do your first
[1:03:01]
application of some seal coat and you
[1:03:04]
keep doing chip seal you might do an
[1:03:06]
overlay or you might do a mill and fill
[1:03:08]
at some point you can stretch you can
[1:03:10]
and he mentioned that last night in the
[1:03:12]
transportation that you can extend by
[1:03:15]
bunny hopping that out there on that
[1:03:17]
curve to you can make roads last 40
[1:03:19]
years initially by doing that between
[1:03:23]
five to sevenyear treatments every and extend the life of that pavement,
[1:03:28]
>> which is what you're proposing here
[1:03:30]
>> with all that equipment.
[1:03:32]
>> We run through it every five years.
[1:03:33]
>> And I've got the water truck. I found a
[1:03:34]
water truck. I put 150. I did find a
[1:03:37]
water truck here locally. It's the only
[1:03:39]
one in the state of Utah. Everything
[1:03:41]
else that I found is California,
[1:03:43]
Arizona. There's a lot of these little
[1:03:45]
2,000galon trucks out there, but Kate
[1:03:47]
Equipment has one and they've given us a
[1:03:50]
price of 59,000. So I told him, try to
[1:03:53]
hold it for me. I couldn't get him to
[1:03:54]
commit, but that is possibly available
[1:03:57]
at a much lesser cost than that. So, and
[1:04:00]
I did the assumptive shipping because
[1:04:02]
all pieces of equipment when I bought
[1:04:04]
that uh chip truck in Duchen County, I
[1:04:08]
negotiated Secier to pay for our flight
[1:04:12]
out to South Carolina and all of our
[1:04:14]
hotel stays and fuel to drive it back
[1:04:17]
and it saved
[1:04:19]
like $30,000 and they paid for the whole
[1:04:22]
thing. I'm not proposing that, but
[1:04:24]
that's just some of the things that we
[1:04:26]
can negotiate.
[1:04:28]
>> Um,
[1:04:30]
don't take this the wrong way. You're no
[1:04:32]
spring chicken. So, I'm [laughter] just
[1:04:33]
thinking in my mind, here we're here we
[1:04:36]
are.
[1:04:36]
>> My hair doesn't give me away, does it?
[1:04:38]
>> Yeah. [laughter]
[1:04:40]
So, here we invest $3 million in all
[1:04:42]
this equipment and we have the the
[1:04:45]
knowhow, the expertise. You're training
[1:04:47]
individuals.
[1:04:49]
Um, [snorts] I'm just thinking of
[1:04:50]
contingency plans on individuals, you
[1:04:54]
know, having opportunity to rise up and
[1:04:56]
Yep.
[1:04:56]
>> and and take those positions.
[1:04:58]
>> I'm big on planning for succession.
[1:05:01]
>> I train my guys for that. So, Duchain
[1:05:04]
County, two of my guys that were under
[1:05:06]
me are now leading that group that were
[1:05:09]
under me under my succession plan. So, I
[1:05:12]
do,
[1:05:14]
you know, things change, life changes.
[1:05:16]
It's nothing's solid anymore. So
[1:05:20]
>> we do have the lead over tomorrow lead
[1:05:22]
position where
[1:05:24]
>> we do have the but I do plan for
[1:05:26]
position open right now and if this
[1:05:29]
passes tonight that's where we're going
[1:05:30]
to go after and find um that replacement
[1:05:33]
option in that person.
[1:05:36]
>> Do the wages um ask this question for
[1:05:39]
you. Do the wages for this part of the
[1:05:42]
public works department, do they come
[1:05:43]
out of the class C fund
[1:05:45]
>> or does that come out of a different
[1:05:47]
>> Yeah. So it it does get messy once we
[1:05:50]
start talking about wages because it
[1:05:52]
does have to be tied to a roads job
[1:05:56]
specifically that they're working on. So
[1:05:58]
like um we can so ultimately the guys
[1:06:01]
will be set up to be paid out of streets
[1:06:03]
instead. And then what we will do is
[1:06:06]
monthly or quarterly we can go through
[1:06:09]
and we'll basically audit our guys and
[1:06:12]
what work they've been doing so we can
[1:06:14]
have the backup support that we need to
[1:06:16]
then say okay classy road fund can
[1:06:19]
transfer into streets for x amount of
[1:06:22]
dollars because that was how much work
[1:06:23]
qualified for these guys. So like right
[1:06:26]
now most of what I mean Ben is pretty I
[1:06:30]
drive home and Ben's filling a pothole
[1:06:31]
right? So like Ben even qualifies under
[1:06:34]
the class cuz that's like he's out there
[1:06:36]
actually maintaining our roads which
[1:06:38]
does qualify. So it's because it's no
[1:06:40]
different than paying a contractor. It's
[1:06:42]
just we're paying Ben.
[1:06:47]
» My goal is to be here
[1:06:49]
as long as I can till I till I retire.
[1:06:51]
But I'm here as long as need be. Long as
[1:06:54]
you guys accept me, I'm here. So
[1:06:57]
>> right.
[1:06:59]
>> Well, Ben, we're glad you are here.
[1:07:00]
Honestly, I think infrastructure is one
[1:07:02]
of the areas that we've lacked on and
[1:07:06]
you see that as you as you drive around
[1:07:08]
and how we take care of what we have and
[1:07:10]
doing a better job at that. I I have a
[1:07:12]
couple of questions. One of them is
[1:07:14]
really more
[1:07:17]
regarding uh other individuals that tie
[1:07:20]
into our road systems and establishing
[1:07:23]
and and maybe we have this already
[1:07:26]
entirely and I'm and I'm just unaware of
[1:07:28]
it, but establishing a standard for any
[1:07:31]
tie-ins into our roadways, you know,
[1:07:33]
that they that they have to mill and do
[1:07:36]
it right. we're not just getting a
[1:07:38]
little trench in there that settles and
[1:07:40]
then we have a a jump that everybody
[1:07:43]
gets to break their tires through. Um, I
[1:07:47]
think establishing a standard and and in
[1:07:50]
what we expect as a city is one of the
[1:07:52]
things I know this is kind of off. The
[1:07:54]
other the other thing that I'm I'm
[1:07:56]
struggling with in my mind is is we it
[1:07:59]
feels like the last few weeks we've made
[1:08:02]
some pretty significant financial
[1:08:04]
decisions as a city, as a council. And
[1:08:07]
um I just want to ensure you know if we
[1:08:09]
have four 4.7 that we're working with
[1:08:12]
and we spend three of that on equipment,
[1:08:14]
we really only have one point for
[1:08:16]
materials or um to be I would I would
[1:08:19]
like to look at this and and if and if
[1:08:22]
this is the worst case scenario and we
[1:08:23]
come through this I mean there are other ways we can get
[1:08:29]
equipment you know we get used um I
[1:08:32]
don't know crack seal machine and mastic
[1:08:35]
trailer or if those are equipment you
[1:08:37]
want to buy used because you end up
[1:08:39]
maintaining it more than right. So I
[1:08:42]
think those make sense. Um but as we
[1:08:45]
look at I just want to ensure that we
[1:08:47]
have frugality in our decision making
[1:08:52]
um in that in that process. It would be
[1:08:55]
nice to say, look, we spent $2 million
[1:08:57]
worth of equipment and we were able to
[1:08:59]
use $2 million worth of class C funds to do the roadway you were just
[1:09:04]
referring to and maybe maybe another um
[1:09:07]
>> multiple roadways miles.
[1:09:09]
>> So to try to get the most for our money.
[1:09:11]
That is my biggest that is my biggest
[1:09:13]
concern right now. Totally understand.
[1:09:15]
>> So and but there is a need for it. Um
[1:09:20]
I'm I'm I'm glad we have looked and
[1:09:22]
addressed the rows. We've classified
[1:09:24]
them in
[1:09:26]
>> where where they need repair and and
[1:09:29]
then we start prioritizing how we
[1:09:32]
>> little bit
[1:09:33]
>> how we attack it, right? And and just
[1:09:36]
hasn't been done before now. So, like I
[1:09:38]
said, grateful you're here. Um,
[1:09:41]
appreciate the time and effort into the
[1:09:43]
presentation. My main concern was just
[1:09:46]
getting the most for our dollar.
[1:09:47]
>> Be assured that I will be finding and
[1:09:49]
searching out the best deals I can find.
[1:09:51]
used, new, demo, whatever it takes. Um,
[1:09:54]
I will thoroughly vet that that piece of
[1:09:57]
equipment that I'm looking at to
[1:09:59]
possibly buy used is topnotch. We'll run it through our mechanic. I
[1:10:04]
have a lot of mechanical experience
[1:10:05]
myself. Bought a lot of equipment over
[1:10:07]
the years. Um, I I have a lot of
[1:10:10]
connections, so I would use every
[1:10:12]
available contact that I can use to try
[1:10:16]
to minimize. I just use worst case
[1:10:18]
scenario numbers because it's always
[1:10:20]
better to use that than try to tell you
[1:10:23]
that I used a lower number and then come
[1:10:24]
back and ask for more money. So
[1:10:26]
>> yeah, I mean you quoted a water truck
[1:10:27]
100 less than what you specified here.
[1:10:30]
>> We buy two pickups for 50 versus I think
[1:10:33]
I put them in there for
[1:10:34]
>> 80.
[1:10:35]
>> Yeah. 160. So
[1:10:39]
there's there's a couple hundred
[1:10:40]
thousand in savings right there.
[1:10:47]
» [clears throat]
[1:10:47]
>> Um, do we have the current manpower to
[1:10:50]
run all this equipment? Are we going
[1:10:51]
have to hire more? I know we talked
[1:10:52]
about we've got one opening. We're going
[1:10:55]
to need to hire more. If so, how many?
[1:10:57]
>> No, I think if we just pan if we just
[1:10:59]
plan it out properly and you utilize,
[1:11:03]
you know, certain months to do the
[1:11:05]
things that we can do like crackill in
[1:11:07]
the winter time or or when we have
[1:11:09]
colder mastic can be put down any time
[1:11:11]
of the year. try not to do it when it's
[1:11:13]
super hot. But so you just it's just a
[1:11:16]
matter of me planning the proper
[1:11:19]
attack method to go do that. Um 20 miles
[1:11:22]
of doing a if we do 20 miles of chip
[1:11:24]
ceiling, I could probably two weeks if
[1:11:27]
we have everything lined out properly,
[1:11:29]
we could do that within a twoe period
[1:11:31]
every year. So really it looks scary as
[1:11:34]
far as trying to plan it. But and then
[1:11:36]
there's always other things that get in
[1:11:38]
the way, right? There's special
[1:11:39]
interests. there's things that we need
[1:11:40]
to do for the rodeo or this or that, but
[1:11:42]
it's I work personally I work every
[1:11:46]
extra second with my crews bouncing back
[1:11:49]
and forth. Um, we tackled one of the
[1:11:52]
very first things I tackled when I came
[1:11:54]
here was the disc golf baskets that were
[1:11:57]
sitting in the yard for about a year or
[1:11:58]
so and we've got those baskets
[1:12:00]
installed. So, we're about 50% done with
[1:12:03]
that disc golf park at this point and
[1:12:06]
that's just working extra time when
[1:12:08]
we've got it. So, it's just a matter of
[1:12:09]
planning and processing that stuff and
[1:12:11]
getting it done right.
[1:12:12]
>> But I think if we do need some more, I
[1:12:15]
think we I would like to look at the
[1:12:16]
option of getting like summer hires
[1:12:18]
during the summer period, getting more
[1:12:20]
opportunity for our youth to have those
[1:12:22]
jobs during that time period because
[1:12:24]
they'll be good at flaggers and shoving
[1:12:26]
the rock and sweeping up the rock and
[1:12:28]
stuff like that. So, that could fall
[1:12:30]
under that and that's not a significant
[1:12:32]
lift to get a lot of um summer hires.
[1:12:35]
>> Yeah. And I have a belief in the road
[1:12:36]
department, you're always 10 guys short.
[1:12:38]
It doesn't matter how big your crew is.
[1:12:40]
I've managed as many as 50 people and
[1:12:41]
I'm always 10 guys short. So we just do
[1:12:44]
what we need to do.
[1:12:46]
>> Um on these RO ROIs you've got um those
[1:12:51]
true RO ROIs because they didn't there
[1:12:53]
was nothing in there about fuel
[1:12:55]
maintenance, insurance, depreciation,
[1:12:58]
any of that stuff. So, I just didn't
[1:12:59]
know if you took that into account on
[1:13:00]
these or
[1:13:01]
>> just basically went through the cost,
[1:13:03]
you know, appreciate or depreciation
[1:13:06]
when you start looking at it, you maybe
[1:13:08]
10% goes into replacement per year. So,
[1:13:11]
if you want to do a 10-year cycle, it's
[1:13:14]
like that for instance, the chip truck.
[1:13:15]
I I I can see with a small town that we
[1:13:18]
have and the ability to grow like we are
[1:13:21]
that the chip truck could be here for 20
[1:13:23]
years. So you can cut that down instead
[1:13:26]
of 10,000 a month or 10,000 a year for
[1:13:30]
replacement, you can cut that down to
[1:13:31]
like 5,000. So in that assumptive, so we
[1:13:35]
run everything off of FEMA in our in our
[1:13:38]
uh
[1:13:39]
I works. So FEMA drives what we can
[1:13:42]
charge hourly to a municipality. We
[1:13:45]
don't use we don't compete against the
[1:13:48]
market. So FEMA rates assume labor,
[1:13:52]
maintenance, all of that stuff as we put
[1:13:55]
our time into our eyeworks every day
[1:13:58]
that those numbers are in there for the
[1:14:00]
equipment. So that gives us a little bit
[1:14:01]
better idea of what and I I didn't I
[1:14:03]
apologize I didn't pull those numbers.
[1:14:05]
So but they're there in I work so we
[1:14:08]
could do that but all those numbers like
[1:14:11]
for instance I think our dump truck PS
[1:14:13]
for about 120 an hour under fummer rate.
[1:14:16]
So that is assumption of labor cost of
[1:14:21]
maintaining it and other other things to
[1:14:23]
go with depreciation.
[1:14:25]
>> That's accurate.
[1:14:27]
>> Um
[1:14:29]
with Jake with the
[1:14:31]
you know the the optics of we just spent
[1:14:34]
all this money and I know they're
[1:14:35]
different funds and I kind of went
[1:14:37]
through I'm not an expert but I kind of
[1:14:39]
looked through here. There was a lot of
[1:14:40]
the things on here. I mean, a 30 ton
[1:14:44]
trailer. I mean, is that do we really
[1:14:45]
need need that? Um, the skid steer looks
[1:14:49]
like it's top of the line. It's got
[1:14:50]
climate control. I mean, there I think
[1:14:52]
there's some things that we might we
[1:14:54]
don't need to go to the top line of. We
[1:14:56]
can maybe get some things for less to
[1:15:00]
um,
[1:15:01]
you know, save some money for supplies
[1:15:04]
or or road different things that we
[1:15:06]
need. Um, so I appreciate you looking at
[1:15:09]
the truck and the water truck getting
[1:15:10]
those down, but I I think we should look
[1:15:12]
at I mean that 30 ton trailer. I don't
[1:15:16]
>> What equipment do we need for
[1:15:18]
>> Well, if you're driving out to like
[1:15:20]
what's the farthest like sheep lane?
[1:15:22]
>> Sheep lane.
[1:15:23]
>> You going to drive the skidster out
[1:15:25]
there or like the your back hose and
[1:15:27]
everything like that along 138. Everyone
[1:15:29]
complains about or 112 the back hose.
[1:15:32]
Are we going to drive them all the way
[1:15:33]
out there on that regard? Everyone
[1:15:35]
complains about how slow they go and so
[1:15:36]
it's not safe to do that. And so putting
[1:15:38]
them on a trailer like this will make it
[1:15:40]
safe for that the road crew to do that.
[1:15:43]
>> Well, and also the wear and tear on the
[1:15:44]
machines to drive them.
[1:15:47]
>> Let's just say we're building South
[1:15:48]
Street because that example's been used.
[1:15:51]
Um even to go from the public works
[1:15:53]
building to South Street back and forth
[1:15:55]
every day is
[1:15:57]
that's putting quite a few
[1:15:59]
>> I'm not saying we don't need a trailer.
[1:16:00]
I'm just saying it's 30 town. is that
[1:16:03]
>> we went yeah I went to the highest
[1:16:04]
because we don't know what we're going
[1:16:05]
to add in the future you know future we
[1:16:08]
may need a track and we get into a 320
[1:16:10]
or 318 or something then you're going to
[1:16:12]
need a trailer like that so if we have
[1:16:14]
one we why we got the money to spend it
[1:16:17]
unfortunately it's that type of
[1:16:19]
situation for me I'm not not saying that
[1:16:21]
I'm spending wildly but I just look at
[1:16:24]
the future very similar to the traffic
[1:16:26]
management plan we are we will need
[1:16:29]
right now we rely on the county to come
[1:16:30]
and take their track goes in. That will
[1:16:33]
be a future expense for any
[1:16:35]
municipality. It's just a must for
[1:16:37]
drainage and it just gives you the
[1:16:40]
ability to haul much more equipment.
[1:16:42]
Even if we go out and lease something,
[1:16:44]
we don't have to pay the cost of having
[1:16:47]
somebody to truck that to us, which is
[1:16:48]
extremely high right now. You know, a
[1:16:51]
trip from Salt Lake for them to road one
[1:16:53]
way is typically between $800 and $1,500
[1:16:56]
one way to mob. So that's a $3,000
[1:17:00]
expense if you have to rent something.
[1:17:02]
So it gives us the ability to haul more.
[1:17:05]
So as far as the skid steer, yes, you
[1:17:09]
can buy cheaper skid steers. Um
[1:17:12]
Caterpillar has this grater and this
[1:17:15]
greater blade. That's why they
[1:17:16]
recommended to me the the 275 because it
[1:17:19]
has all the capabilities to run those.
[1:17:22]
systems don't integrate with it's
[1:17:24]
a CAT piece of equipment. will not
[1:17:27]
integrate with a K Cabota. It won't it
[1:17:30]
won't plug and play. We have that
[1:17:32]
problem right now with Bobcat that we
[1:17:34]
have. Somebody took an older piece of
[1:17:37]
equipment that we had and tried to one
[1:17:39]
of our mechanics or whoever it was tried
[1:17:41]
to integrate the plugs to run a piece of
[1:17:43]
equipment that was not a Bobcat piece of
[1:17:45]
equipment and now we have that Bobcat
[1:17:47]
down more than we have it operable
[1:17:50]
because somebody messed with the wiring
[1:17:52]
and it's caused a lot of problems with
[1:17:54]
the computer. that particular skid
[1:17:56]
steer. We were trying to use it out here
[1:17:58]
at the rodeo grounds. It's it's gone
[1:18:00]
down on us about four or five times
[1:18:01]
because it's got an electrical issue.
[1:18:03]
So, you have to be very careful about
[1:18:05]
thinking that I need to go buy a K
[1:18:08]
Cabota. All those quotes from
[1:18:11]
Caterpillar onstate contract, so they're
[1:18:13]
already negotiated and to the lowest
[1:18:15]
ability. And I just feel like you don't
[1:18:18]
want to be crosssectioning
[1:18:20]
CAT material with something else. And
[1:18:22]
there's not a lot of those greater
[1:18:23]
blades out there currently for some of
[1:18:26]
the other manufacturers with that in
[1:18:28]
with that integration. So,
[1:18:30]
>> and I do want to point out that Ben has
[1:18:32]
done a fabulous job as far as being
[1:18:35]
fiscally responsible and following
[1:18:36]
purchasing policies. Like he's found
[1:18:38]
items that are on state contract, which
[1:18:40]
we encourage. That's the lowest
[1:18:42]
negotiated rate you can get. That's why
[1:18:44]
they're on state contract. um in
[1:18:47]
collecting several bids. He h it's not
[1:18:49]
like he just went and picked that's the
[1:18:50]
one I want and has no justification for
[1:18:53]
it. He has done expensive he has spent
[1:18:56]
extensive amounts of time gathering the
[1:18:58]
necessary bids or making the calls to
[1:19:00]
get the state contracted price. So I
[1:19:03]
just want to give Ben credit there
[1:19:05]
because he has done a lot of work to try
[1:19:07]
to get the most fiscally responsible
[1:19:09]
option.
[1:19:14]
Do we have a place to store all this?
[1:19:17]
>> It's going to be a challenge, but
[1:19:20]
I've driven by it a lot, so I'm just
[1:19:22]
curious.
[1:19:25]
>> We We don't have a locked place to store
[1:19:28]
this.
[1:19:29]
Okay,
[1:19:34]
» I guess the next question that I had is does this equipment need to be
[1:19:39]
>> collected together or is there a phase
[1:19:41]
one and a phase two here that we see or
[1:19:43]
a phase partial phase this year, second
[1:19:46]
phase next year? Does it need to kind of
[1:19:48]
I mean I'm talking logistically what you
[1:19:50]
need to do it. Um
[1:19:52]
>> really the the mastic and the crack seal
[1:19:54]
trader would like to probably put those
[1:19:56]
on board as soon as possible, but a lot
[1:19:58]
of these things are not going to be like
[1:19:59]
more than half of them are they're going
[1:20:01]
to have to be built. So they're out
[1:20:03]
there three to six months depending on
[1:20:05]
the truck. The dump truck is probably 90
[1:20:08]
days to or so out. By the time we bring
[1:20:10]
it back and retrofit it could be 120. So
[1:20:13]
a lot of this equipment is going to
[1:20:14]
stack out there. The chip seal truck is
[1:20:17]
available now as I told me, but that
[1:20:20]
doesn't mean we have to buy that truck
[1:20:22]
today, right? Um, but it's available.
[1:20:24]
So, it's just a matter of how we want to
[1:20:27]
stack that and what we need right now to
[1:20:30]
keep our crews busy, make things happen,
[1:20:33]
and start taking those bites out of the
[1:20:34]
settlement that we have. So,
[1:20:38]
we can stage that any way the council
[1:20:42]
sees fit. You know,
[1:20:44]
>> I I had another question on the class C
[1:20:48]
funds. Um
[1:20:51]
I just wanted to clarify for the public.
[1:20:54]
Can we kind of can we go through how
[1:20:56]
that how those funds come in
[1:20:58]
specifically where we get them from, how
[1:21:00]
they're just maybe
[1:21:02]
>> Yeah.
[1:21:03]
>> the definition of them.
[1:21:04]
>> Uh yeah,
[1:21:05]
>> we hear them a lot. I just
[1:21:07]
>> Yeah. So it, like I had mentioned
[1:21:08]
before, it's based on our fuel tax that
[1:21:10]
everyone pays when they fuel up. The
[1:21:12]
state collects everything and then
[1:21:14]
distributes them across the state based
[1:21:16]
on our mileage and our population. Um,
[1:21:20]
>> yeah, the um,
[1:21:21]
>> can I interrupt for one second, Aspen?
[1:21:24]
>> Last night when we were hearing the road
[1:21:27]
transportation plan, they said they had
[1:21:29]
updated all the miles of roads and
[1:21:31]
turned that into UD do or the state.
[1:21:34]
>> They turned it to us and we submitted
[1:21:35]
that to the state. We So was that number
[1:21:38]
up to the point that we will get an
[1:21:40]
increased number of
[1:21:42]
>> dollars already? It was only three more
[1:21:44]
miles from the last time we submitted.
[1:21:46]
>> Okay. So not a substantial difference. I
[1:21:48]
just had that question last night. Okay.
[1:21:50]
>> But that is something that uh Christie
[1:21:52]
submits every year as far as our road
[1:21:54]
mileage goes to report that because
[1:21:55]
that's on us to keep that up to date. So
[1:21:58]
that is something that she updates every
[1:22:00]
year. Um the population is actually
[1:22:02]
based the state passed the legislation a
[1:22:04]
couple years ago and they do the state
[1:22:06]
through an extensive process that also
[1:22:08]
is used for a sales tax but regardless
[1:22:11]
that's how it's calculated. Um but so as
[1:22:15]
far as it's collected also on our
[1:22:18]
financials on the that packet that you
[1:22:20]
guys get. So what's sitting in the PTI
[1:22:22]
is there from previous years but you can
[1:22:25]
see on page
[1:22:29]
four under interlocal agreement we have
[1:22:31]
our class C road fund aotment and you
[1:22:33]
can actually see as that money is coming
[1:22:35]
in to our
[1:22:38]
like is being distributed from the state
[1:22:40]
to us throughout the year. Um, and just
[1:22:43]
based on this year's budget that was
[1:22:46]
approved for class C roads, I mean 1.3
[1:22:50]
million was approved for spending this
[1:22:51]
year um, in the budget that to be sure
[1:22:54]
hasn't been spent, but that was the
[1:22:55]
working budget that was approved by last
[1:22:57]
year's council for this fiscal year's
[1:22:58]
operating budget for class C funds. So,
[1:23:01]
um, it was budgeted to spend most of
[1:23:04]
what would have been collected this year
[1:23:06]
in the aotment that we would receive by
[1:23:09]
the state. But yeah, it just comes out
[1:23:11]
throughout the year and you guys get an
[1:23:13]
updated copy of this every month that
[1:23:15]
you guys can watch that climb. But
[1:23:16]
>> and our goal is in this new budget year
[1:23:18]
is to plan for replacement, start using
[1:23:21]
that funds to buy the crack, sell the
[1:23:22]
material to to actually use this on the
[1:23:26]
roads going forward because it's in that
[1:23:28]
way is not a lot of that doesn't go to
[1:23:30]
the contractor's fee and different
[1:23:31]
things like that. It'll go directly to
[1:23:33]
our roads themselves. Again, I've been
[1:23:36]
working with Aspen to create some new
[1:23:38]
budget line items for some of the
[1:23:40]
numbers that I've assumptive ran that we
[1:23:43]
would be using for cracks and chips and
[1:23:46]
asked, we should create line items for
[1:23:49]
those so we know what we've got to
[1:23:50]
spend. Some of those we're probably
[1:23:52]
going to depending on the year, weather,
[1:23:55]
whatever, we may have to flow one to the
[1:23:58]
other to get it to work, right? It's
[1:24:00]
always a it's it's it's a it's a moving
[1:24:03]
target all the time with the with the
[1:24:05]
funds, but I assure you that I'm real
[1:24:08]
spot on about trying to keep my budget
[1:24:11]
under control. I don't like to I've
[1:24:14]
never in [snorts] my tenure, I've never
[1:24:16]
gone over budget ever. So,
[1:24:24]
I have just two more questions. When um
[1:24:30]
uh when do we get the class C road fund
[1:24:33]
um from the state? What do we get it in
[1:24:37]
July throughout the year?
[1:24:38]
>> Yeah, it's throughout the year. So, it's
[1:24:40]
not like we don't get 1.3 million. It
[1:24:42]
trickles in.
[1:24:43]
>> Yeah. So, it's typically uh as Ben
[1:24:45]
stated, it's typically [clears throat] a
[1:24:46]
quarterly payment that we receive every
[1:24:48]
quarter, just throughout the year as our
[1:24:50]
years go on. Um, one thing to keep in
[1:24:52]
mind is with potential income mean
[1:24:56]
annexations or something that would
[1:24:58]
increase the mileage of roads. So, we
[1:25:00]
would be receiving a larger loan.
[1:25:04]
» Then my my last question is that's once
[1:25:08]
again to do with just the equipment
[1:25:09]
costs. Um, if we do approve this
[1:25:11]
tonight, can we get a reporting back and
[1:25:15]
accountability of what was purchased?
[1:25:18]
Um, I I'm assuming that, you know, with this resolution passing that we're
[1:25:24]
giving you the green light to be able to
[1:25:25]
purchase what you need, but we'd like um
[1:25:28]
kind of a return and report
[1:25:30]
accountability of what were we able to
[1:25:32]
get certain things for. Let's say you do
[1:25:35]
find a street sweeper, you know, that's used in the market and it's
[1:25:40]
$250,000 rather than half a million.
[1:25:43]
>> Um, which would make more sense to me.
[1:25:46]
Um, and you're able to come back and
[1:25:48]
say, "Okay, well, you know, this is what
[1:25:50]
I did with those funds and those
[1:25:51]
monies." And report back to the council.
[1:25:53]
>> Yep. That'll be through as well as
[1:25:55]
through PO systems. We can report that
[1:25:57]
back to you however.
[1:25:58]
>> Yeah.
[1:25:59]
>> As things are purchased,
[1:26:00]
>> Yeah.
[1:26:01]
>> we would we'd like to have you I would
[1:26:03]
like to have you come back.
[1:26:04]
>> We can do that.
[1:26:05]
>> And report back to us. No problem.
[1:26:08]
I think maybe even a report of uh what
[1:26:10]
projects have been completed along with
[1:26:13]
the purchases that have been made and
[1:26:14]
how that
[1:26:15]
>> how many miles of roads.
[1:26:16]
>> Yes. How many miles of road were
[1:26:18]
repaired so that we they did not have to
[1:26:20]
be replaced and what we say what we
[1:26:23]
estimate that we saved as opposed to
[1:26:26]
having a contractor do that same work.
[1:26:28]
>> Right. And right now we've done 24 just
[1:26:31]
over 24 miles of Crackill for the 26
[1:26:35]
year. So that that was a big deal.
[1:26:40]
[clears throat]
[1:26:40]
>> Ben and Christie, is there this is just
[1:26:44]
an observation, but I know we've been in
[1:26:47]
South Willow Estates fixing a relatively
[1:26:50]
new road that wasn't done right. You
[1:26:52]
showed a picture of Anderson Ranch.
[1:26:55]
That's the road looked terrible. And
[1:26:57]
that's one of our newer subdivisions.
[1:27:00]
>> That's 20 years old.
[1:27:01]
>> Anderson Ranch is 20 years old.
[1:27:03]
>> Yes.
[1:27:03]
>> Is it really old? It's never been
[1:27:05]
cracked. [laughter]
[1:27:07]
>> It's never had a crack at all.
[1:27:08]
>> Just shut one. Phase one is 20 years.
[1:27:12]
Maybe
[1:27:13]
>> where they were is was still part of
[1:27:14]
phase one where they were on saddle
[1:27:16]
road. That's phase two.
[1:27:18]
>> I just want to make sure our underlying
[1:27:21]
um
[1:27:22]
quality is
[1:27:25]
that we're inspecting our roads that our
[1:27:27]
quality is better than ever.
[1:27:30]
what we're getting out of contractors
[1:27:33]
in the initial input of a road or stall
[1:27:36]
road.
[1:27:37]
>> No, Gransville's come a long way from
[1:27:39]
when I first started. We now have two
[1:27:41]
infrastructure inspectors plus Barry
[1:27:43]
that is here to help us. So, our roads
[1:27:46]
are getting inspected more than they
[1:27:48]
were when I first started.
[1:27:50]
>> Uh South Willow, you mentioned South
[1:27:52]
Willow has multiple problems. One of its
[1:27:54]
biggest problems is the way the water
[1:27:56]
lines were put in. It's our water lines
[1:27:57]
that are breaking. They're making us
[1:27:59]
continually cut into that road. So, at
[1:28:02]
some point, all of South Willow will
[1:28:04]
need to be reconstructed,
[1:28:07]
but not yet. So,
[1:28:09]
>> keep this in mind, though, for when she
[1:28:11]
comes back for a while. [laughter]
[1:28:15]
» And right now, we'll just kind of attack
[1:28:17]
South Willow with trying to patch what's
[1:28:20]
there, fix what we can. I don't
[1:28:23]
recommend we tear unless we've got the
[1:28:25]
funds to work into utilities because the
[1:28:28]
rule of thumb in municipalities it is is
[1:28:31]
[snorts] any road without a any
[1:28:33]
utilities is always a million dollars a
[1:28:34]
mile to to reconstruct. You start
[1:28:37]
putting utilities into it. It's get
[1:28:39]
takes a drastic jump to over four
[1:28:41]
million per mile. And you don't want to
[1:28:44]
tear into a road just to go and do the
[1:28:46]
road because you start that vibration
[1:28:50]
and the creation of all the equipment
[1:28:51]
going in there to tear that up. You're
[1:28:53]
just putting more stress on your water
[1:28:55]
system, your sewer system. So you it
[1:28:58]
needs to kind of be planned out to where
[1:29:01]
it's either done in phases, one section
[1:29:03]
at a time. It's going to take time, but
[1:29:05]
um my goal would be to let's get started
[1:29:08]
somehow.
[1:29:10]
Can you can you tell me what kind of
[1:29:12]
warranty comes with some of these new
[1:29:14]
equipment that we're getting?
[1:29:16]
>> Generally, one year is most of most of
[1:29:18]
the equipment unless the manufacturer
[1:29:20]
like with a Seekmar truck. It's a
[1:29:22]
Kenworth chassis. So, it would come with
[1:29:24]
whatever Kenworth offers on their
[1:29:26]
transmission. Sometimes it's four, you
[1:29:28]
know, three or 36 extended on some of
[1:29:30]
that stuff. It really depends on each
[1:29:32]
individual piece of equipment. If we buy
[1:29:34]
it used, we get basically what we do.
[1:29:36]
Some companies offer an extended
[1:29:39]
warranty for that. So, um that's where I
[1:29:43]
really go strongly on trying to put my
[1:29:45]
hands on what I'm looking at use to make
[1:29:47]
sure that um we're not buying something
[1:29:50]
that's been just shredded. So,
[1:30:00]
one last question I think I've got and
[1:30:04]
whoever aspen probably. So, do we have
[1:30:06]
to go out and and purchase this
[1:30:09]
equipment from the government contracts
[1:30:12]
already negotiated or can we go out and
[1:30:14]
find our own equipment that may be
[1:30:16]
cheaper somewhere else? What's that
[1:30:18]
process?
[1:30:18]
>> Yeah, absolutely. And Ben's worked on
[1:30:20]
that, but the government contract that I
[1:30:22]
mentioned earlier, there's various
[1:30:24]
companies for anything you can think of
[1:30:27]
that's contracted with the state um
[1:30:29]
through uh UP3. it's their state
[1:30:31]
contract um that is companies trying to
[1:30:35]
get in the good graces to have low rates
[1:30:38]
to get more business from
[1:30:40]
municipalities. So you can absolutely go
[1:30:42]
out and
[1:30:44]
like you know bargain or negotiate other
[1:30:47]
deals elsewhere. You don't have to use
[1:30:48]
state contract. Um, we do steer towards
[1:30:51]
state contract because typically that is
[1:30:53]
the lowest price, but you can absolutely
[1:30:55]
spend time and effort in looking for at
[1:30:57]
other avenues and you may find a cheaper
[1:30:59]
option which would be great, but state
[1:31:03]
contract is typically already that
[1:31:04]
lowest negotiated price that you're
[1:31:06]
going to be able to find in the state.
[1:31:08]
So,
[1:31:08]
>> I do encourage that we use someone
[1:31:11]
that's reputable and is going to stand
[1:31:14]
behind their equipment. You mentioned
[1:31:15]
CAT. I agree with you. cat skidsters.
[1:31:18]
They they sink after the dozers. Those
[1:31:21]
are probably the most powerful minis
[1:31:24]
skidsters that are out there. So, but
[1:31:27]
they also have a parts department. They
[1:31:29]
have they stand behind their stuff and
[1:31:31]
if something goes down, they'll bring
[1:31:32]
another piece of equipment out and drop
[1:31:34]
it. And
[1:31:35]
>> yes,
[1:31:35]
>> so whoever we choose or the whatever
[1:31:37]
direction we go, I just want to make
[1:31:39]
sure that they stand behind what they're
[1:31:40]
selling us. So,
[1:31:41]
>> I can assure you that Seek Meer with the
[1:31:43]
chip truck is they're spot on with their
[1:31:45]
customer service. They're out here. If
[1:31:47]
you have an issue, they're out. They
[1:31:48]
send a guy from South Carolina. The
[1:31:51]
company originates out of France and
[1:31:53]
usually their their service techs are
[1:31:55]
French and they come out and they are very stickler about making sure
[1:31:59]
that their name stays where it's at. And
[1:32:03]
they they own BowG. They're they own
[1:32:05]
some of the largest companies in the
[1:32:07]
United States. So,
[1:32:12]
» and there's just not another
[1:32:14]
manufacturer for that particular
[1:32:23]
Any other discussion?
[1:32:28]
Thank you Christie Ben Aspen for all the
[1:32:31]
information. Done a great job of getting
[1:32:34]
that all put together.
[1:32:42]
Mayor, I make a motion that we approve
[1:32:44]
resolution 2026-22
[1:32:47]
approving the expenditure of class C
[1:32:48]
road funds for the road department
[1:32:50]
equipment.
[1:32:52]
>> We have a motion by council member
[1:32:54]
Butler. Is there a second?
[1:32:55]
>> I'll second the motion.
[1:32:56]
>> We have a second by council member
[1:32:58]
Skinner. All in favor?
[1:33:00]
>> I.
[1:33:02]
>> Is that everybody?
[1:33:04]
>> Nay.
[1:33:06]
>> Roll call. Council member Butler,
[1:33:08]
>> yay. [clears throat]
[1:33:10]
>> Thomas,
[1:33:10]
>> yay.
[1:33:11]
>> Williams,
[1:33:12]
>> yay.
[1:33:13]
>> Skinner,
[1:33:14]
>> yay.
[1:33:14]
>> Dalton,
[1:33:15]
>> nay.
[1:33:17]
>> All right. Thank you very much.
[1:33:21]
Uh, moving on to item number seven. This
[1:33:25]
is also a public hearing item. uh
[1:33:27]
discussion and consideration of
[1:33:28]
ordinance 2026-16
[1:33:30]
approving and adopting an updated
[1:33:33]
annexation policy plan repealing and
[1:33:36]
replacing the prior annexation policy
[1:33:38]
plans and providing for an effective
[1:33:40]
date
[1:33:41]
and we have Bill here to talk about this
[1:33:44]
and after the presentation um there will
[1:33:46]
be a time for public comment if you
[1:33:48]
would like to make is that true yes it
[1:33:51]
is okay
[1:33:53]
>> so we talked about this um a couple of
[1:33:55]
meetings ago and we have since uh
[1:33:58]
adjusted according to state codes
[1:34:00]
noticing requirements and so uh that's
[1:34:03]
why we're seeing it again tonight. Um I
[1:34:05]
don't have much more to add to it. Um
[1:34:08]
it's uh they're in front of you and so
[1:34:10]
if you have any questions let me know.
[1:34:11]
Otherwise uh you do have the planning
[1:34:13]
commission recommendation for approval
[1:34:15]
on this as well. So um we're uh
[1:34:19]
>> for the public since it is public
[1:34:22]
hearing we do like an initial overview
[1:34:24]
of what it is.
[1:34:24]
>> Yeah, of course. So um just to uh
[1:34:27]
reiterate what we spoke about uh
[1:34:30]
month ago, was it two meetings ago?
[1:34:31]
>> I think it was two
[1:34:32]
>> two meetings ago. Last month um we spoke
[1:34:35]
about this and uh the annexation policy
[1:34:37]
plan is intended to be a guiding
[1:34:40]
document for annexation in Grantsville
[1:34:44]
and in the the unincorporated area
[1:34:46]
surrounding Grantsville City. Um there
[1:34:48]
are certain areas that we have
[1:34:50]
designated areas A, B, and C that uh
[1:34:53]
will
[1:34:55]
uh be for consideration when the time
[1:34:58]
comes for those areas to develop and or
[1:35:01]
be annexed into a a neighboring
[1:35:04]
municipality. What this does for us is state that if those areas were to be
[1:35:10]
um developed out and had interest in
[1:35:14]
annexing into the city or if the city
[1:35:16]
decided we wanted to annex property into
[1:35:19]
the city. Um this this uh sets the stage
[1:35:23]
for that and enables us to go out and
[1:35:25]
grab those lands as they come in. It
[1:35:28]
doesn't create any obligations for the
[1:35:30]
city. There's no um infrastructure
[1:35:34]
look out there that we would be required
[1:35:36]
to do. It would be understood that as
[1:35:38]
these property owners and developers uh
[1:35:42]
look to develop these areas that they
[1:35:44]
would hook on to our existing system and
[1:35:47]
bring water shares and and other
[1:35:48]
infrastructure with them. So the burden
[1:35:51]
would uh the initial burden at least
[1:35:53]
would not be on the uh city. It would be
[1:35:57]
on the properties to be annexed into the
[1:35:59]
city.
[1:36:01]
Um,
[1:36:07]
state code requires that if we have the
[1:36:08]
annexation policy in play, that we have
[1:36:11]
an annexation policy in place and that
[1:36:13]
it uh governs um how property is pulled
[1:36:17]
into the city if and when that time
[1:36:19]
comes. Again, this isn't uh intended to
[1:36:22]
be any kind of uh land grab or any kind
[1:36:26]
of um indication of where we want to go.
[1:36:30]
It's it's saying these are areas that we
[1:36:33]
can see as being part of the city and
[1:36:35]
being a valuable part of the city at
[1:36:37]
some point in the future. So uh it also
[1:36:40]
helps to uh guide additional uh adjacent
[1:36:44]
communities claims on property that may
[1:36:47]
be uh annexed in uh to adjacent
[1:36:51]
municipalities. So um we would uh have
[1:36:56]
the first right of refusal as it were on
[1:36:58]
some of these other properties if um
[1:37:01]
other communities wanted to look at
[1:37:03]
that.
[1:37:07]
» I got it. Thank you, Bill.
[1:37:09]
>> You bet.
[1:37:11]
>> And I think at this point we'll open it
[1:37:12]
up to public comment. If anybody would
[1:37:14]
like to make a comment on the annexation
[1:37:17]
uh policy plan, uh now is your time. And
[1:37:21]
if you're online and would like to make
[1:37:22]
a comment, please raise your hand.
[1:37:32]
Anything online, Alicia?
[1:37:34]
Okay, we will close that public hearing
[1:37:37]
and
[1:37:39]
we will turn to a discussion with the
[1:37:40]
council. Is there anybody who has
[1:37:42]
anything they would like to add or
[1:37:45]
questions or concerns they would like to
[1:37:47]
raise?
[1:37:47]
>> This is the same one we looked at
[1:37:49]
though. This this hasn't changed from
[1:37:50]
what we looked at. We just did pushed it
[1:37:51]
off to do the public comment hearing,
[1:37:53]
right? Okay. because it's amended. So, I
[1:37:55]
didn't know this was this but this is
[1:37:56]
the same one we've looked at
[1:38:00]
>> and we're following all the statutory
[1:38:02]
provisions.
[1:38:06]
That's
[1:38:12]
» Tyson, you've reviewed this as well.
[1:38:15]
We've seen it.
[1:38:16]
>> Okay. any concerns on it or questions?
[1:38:20]
>> No, it's a this is a this is a benefit
[1:38:23]
for the city to adopt the the annexation
[1:38:26]
policy plan. We're required to do so by code and it also sets the stage for
[1:38:34]
um for for future potential for the
[1:38:38]
city. It doesn't it doesn't lock us in
[1:38:40]
or bind us in any way. Um but what it
[1:38:43]
does do is
[1:38:45]
for example, If a property owner from
[1:38:47]
one of these extr territorial
[1:38:50]
um pieces of property wanted to annex in
[1:38:54]
this doesn't automatically give them an
[1:38:56]
entitlement to coming in. They would
[1:38:58]
have to engage in the in the normal
[1:39:00]
process and they'd have to meet the
[1:39:01]
criteria that was the the go through
[1:39:05]
planning commission to come to city
[1:39:06]
council and uh we can even engage in
[1:39:09]
annexation
[1:39:11]
um agreements with them. So, so that you
[1:39:14]
know there's a there's a a benefit to
[1:39:18]
bringing new new uh new parcels into the
[1:39:21]
city as opposed to a detriment and
[1:39:24]
liability of the city.
[1:39:29]
» Thank you.
[1:39:46]
Mayor, I'll make a motion that we
[1:39:48]
approve ordinance 2026-16
[1:39:50]
approving and adopting an updated
[1:39:53]
annexation policy plan repealing and
[1:39:55]
replacing the prior annex annexation
[1:39:57]
policy plans and providing for an
[1:39:59]
effective date.
[1:40:01]
>> We have a motion by council member
[1:40:02]
Dalton. Is there a second?
[1:40:04]
>> I'll second.
[1:40:05]
>> Second by council member Thomas. All in
[1:40:07]
favor? I
[1:40:10]
>> All right. Passes. Thank you.
[1:40:13]
>> Um item number eight, consideration of
[1:40:16]
resolution 2026-23
[1:40:18]
of purchasing the approving the purchase
[1:40:21]
of a sewer vector truck and authorizing
[1:40:23]
partial funding and financing. And this
[1:40:26]
will be presented by Marcus and Christie
[1:40:28]
from the public works department.
[1:40:32]
» Thank you guys. Sorry. Go ahead.
[1:40:33]
>> Okay. Uh so Gransville City is looking
[1:40:36]
to purchase a sewer vac truck with
[1:40:38]
partial funding. Uh each year we
[1:40:42]
grantsville city sewer department uh
[1:40:44]
budgets to clean the the sewer system.
[1:40:47]
Grantsville city has approximately 90
[1:40:49]
miles of sewer sewer system.
[1:40:52]
>> The cleaning of that has been going on
[1:40:54]
recently. Right. That's what I've been
[1:40:55]
seeing on the
[1:40:56]
>> Yeah. Okay. We we actually currently
[1:40:58]
have a small ram jet, but that uh is was
[1:41:02]
built in the it's a early 90s uh jet
[1:41:06]
roer. It does not have a back setup on
[1:41:08]
it.
[1:41:09]
>> Okay.
[1:41:09]
>> So, we we really don't like to use it
[1:41:12]
too much because once you're jet rotting
[1:41:14]
the sewer, you're actually bringing
[1:41:15]
stuff down through the sewer system and
[1:41:17]
you have no way of vac back trailering
[1:41:19]
out. This truck would actually back
[1:41:21]
trailer any heavy material, gravel, uh
[1:41:25]
sludge, grease. Uh we're also looking,
[1:41:29]
this truck can also also be used to
[1:41:31]
clean storm drains and it'll have a
[1:41:34]
hydro excavation package on it too. So
[1:41:36]
it'll actually help with water jobs uh
[1:41:39]
as well.
[1:41:41]
uh we have we approximately have about
[1:41:42]
1,600 manholes in our system and uh we
[1:41:47]
would like to take partial payment and
[1:41:50]
uh every year I'm I think about the next
[1:41:54]
five to seven years to to pay for the
[1:41:56]
loan. So every year we have to to budget
[1:41:58]
for this anyway. So we're looking to
[1:42:01]
take that budget and just put towards a financial loan on this.
[1:42:04]
>> How much are we paying for the cleaning
[1:42:07]
every year? So currently we budget about
[1:42:09]
$90,000 that goes towards cleaning the
[1:42:12]
sewer and it only cleans a portion. This
[1:42:14]
way we'll be able to clean all of the
[1:42:16]
sewer with our team every year.
[1:42:19]
>> And each year with the increasing size,
[1:42:22]
new development, whatnot, we we have to
[1:42:25]
ask for more each year. And
[1:42:27]
unfortunately, we don't it's still not
[1:42:29]
enough to clean what we need. And the
[1:42:31]
sewer system needs to be cleaned. It's
[1:42:33]
something you don't want to you don't
[1:42:35]
want to clean.
[1:42:36]
cuz if there is a backup, it can
[1:42:38]
actually it could be very costly and I
[1:42:42]
would like to be or actually not have
[1:42:44]
any backups. That's my main goal is try
[1:42:47]
to avoid backups as much as possible.
[1:42:52]
» Has anyone ever had a backup in their
[1:42:53]
basement? [laughter]
[1:42:55]
>> I have.
[1:42:58]
>> So you don't want that?
[1:43:00]
[laughter]
[1:43:01]
>> Unfortunately, they do happen, but we
[1:43:03]
want to try to avoid this as much as
[1:43:04]
possible.
[1:43:06]
And when we have emergencies, it's
[1:43:08]
harder to get a get someone out here
[1:43:10]
now. Uh the contractor that we use,
[1:43:13]
they're a great company, but it's if you
[1:43:15]
want them out here the next day, you're
[1:43:17]
it's not going to happen. So, it'd be a
[1:43:22]
good truck to have. Uh and if we do have
[1:43:25]
emergencies, uh we'd be able to be right
[1:43:27]
on top of it.
[1:43:30]
>> I I had more of a question regarding the
[1:43:32]
functionality of the truck itself. I
[1:43:34]
mean
[1:43:36]
you can use these to locate lines etc.
[1:43:39]
Right.
[1:43:40]
>> Yes.
[1:43:41]
>> So hydrox. So
[1:43:44]
would that classify I'm not would that
[1:43:46]
classify as something that could be used
[1:43:49]
in another department?
[1:43:51]
Meaning could this classify as a class C
[1:43:53]
if it was used in that setting or no? Or
[1:43:55]
am I outside the
[1:43:57]
>> this truck I mean Christie can speak on
[1:44:00]
this but this truck will be used mainly
[1:44:02]
for the sewer. for the sewer.
[1:44:04]
>> Yeah. And the storm drain.
[1:44:05]
>> Okay.
[1:44:07]
>> And for water lines, too. Right.
[1:44:08]
>> Well, we have a back trailer that we use
[1:44:12]
right now on a lot of our water jobs.
[1:44:15]
>> But you don't want to crosscontaminate
[1:44:17]
when you're cleaning. So, and it is a
[1:44:19]
lot smaller and we have lift stations
[1:44:21]
that are 30 foot deep and that won't do
[1:44:23]
anything,
[1:44:24]
>> okay,
[1:44:24]
>> to clean our sewer. So, this suction
[1:44:26]
pipe will be an 8 in pipe.
[1:44:29]
So, it'll be mainly [clears throat]
[1:44:31]
clean grease and
[1:44:34]
>> a lot of other fun stuff.
[1:44:36]
>> Do we have the expertise to be able to
[1:44:40]
run this truck?
[1:44:42]
>> Yes,
[1:44:42]
>> we do.
[1:44:43]
>> I have the experience. Uh I work with a contractor every year. Have been for
[1:44:48]
years. We've actually already we're
[1:44:51]
continuing training. We've already had
[1:44:52]
training and we're going to continue it
[1:44:54]
even when we purchase this truck.
[1:44:58]
Are we going to need to hire?
[1:45:00]
I mean, there's always more need for for more help. [snorts]
[1:45:06]
Um, when do you anticipate that there'll
[1:45:08]
be uh more hiring due to purchasing
[1:45:13]
something like this or any sort of
[1:45:15]
needs? Will there be anything like that?
[1:45:17]
>> Not currently for with the purchase of
[1:45:19]
this. It will come when the new sewer
[1:45:22]
treatment plant comes online.
[1:45:24]
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When the new sewer
[1:45:25]
plant comes, we're looking for one guy.
[1:45:27]
But currently, we have uh men to operate
[1:45:29]
this truck.
[1:45:31]
>> You're running the sewer treatment
[1:45:32]
plant, right? I mean, to a certain
[1:45:33]
extent.
[1:45:34]
>> Yes.
[1:45:34]
>> Yeah.
[1:45:35]
>> You can't can't be all places at once.
[1:45:38]
>> I try to be [laughter] a great job,
[1:45:40]
Marcus.
[1:45:43]
[clears throat]
[1:45:46]
» I'll just say too, Marcus has gone out.
[1:45:48]
He's went to other municipalities,
[1:45:50]
looked at more than one truck, and have
[1:45:54]
settled on this would be and went off of
[1:45:57]
other recommendations that this would be
[1:45:59]
the best purchase.
[1:46:01]
>> Can we use this in storm as well?
[1:46:03]
>> Same. Yes. So, you probably mentioned
[1:46:05]
that, but I missed it. So,
[1:46:07]
>> okay.
[1:46:09]
>> Ask what other municipalities you went
[1:46:11]
to.
[1:46:12]
Uh, Riverton, Eagle Mountain, uh, Salt
[1:46:16]
Lake, uh,
[1:46:18]
>> Spanish Fork, Harrisville. I I Twilla. I
[1:46:22]
met with them several times. I tried I
[1:46:25]
got a whole list.
[1:46:27]
>> They have trucks similar to this or was
[1:46:29]
this their recommendation because they
[1:46:31]
had
[1:46:32]
>> No.
[1:46:33]
>> Yeah. So we went we actually a lot of
[1:46:36]
cities actually will have a truck just
[1:46:37]
for storm drain and they'll have trucks
[1:46:40]
just for for sewer. So you kind of have
[1:46:43]
a mixed bag there. But talking to many
[1:46:45]
operators and and what we experienced
[1:46:48]
this truck would be best for cleaning
[1:46:50]
sewers.
[1:46:55]
Um you don't want to go cheap on a back
[1:46:57]
truck. I mean it is a lot of money but
[1:47:01]
yeah you you buy the wrong one and it
[1:47:04]
just doesn't work.
[1:47:05]
>> Yeah.
[1:47:06]
>> You don't buy used.
[1:47:07]
>> No. No.
[1:47:08]
>> Yeah. There [laughter] there is used
[1:47:09]
options out there but these are they can
[1:47:12]
be costly.
[1:47:12]
>> Everyone has said that
[1:47:14]
>> there's a reason why they're used.
[1:47:16]
>> So
[1:47:17]
>> and for sale
[1:47:19]
[laughter]
[1:47:20]
want to buy a new one and you want to
[1:47:21]
buy
[1:47:23]
>> factors the best.
[1:47:25]
So,
[1:47:27]
>> so the plan is to use [clears throat]
[1:47:28]
300,000 of the budget and then loan out
[1:47:31]
the rest. Do a loan for the rest.
[1:47:33]
>> 100,000.
[1:47:33]
>> Oh, I thought it said budgeted.
[1:47:35]
>> So, there's 200 in the budget line right
[1:47:38]
now.
[1:47:38]
>> Oh, so we're going to use a hundred of
[1:47:39]
that and then the rest will be
[1:47:41]
>> on a loan of 70.
[1:47:42]
>> That's correct.
[1:47:43]
>> And 90,000 we're already paying to have
[1:47:46]
somebody else come and do a portion of
[1:47:48]
our sewer. We can't do it all because
[1:47:49]
that contracted amount doesn't cover
[1:47:52]
90,000 doesn't cover the whole city
[1:47:54]
>> and that 90,000 will go to the loan
[1:47:57]
>> to the loan,
[1:47:58]
>> right?
[1:47:58]
>> And that will cover the loan for the
[1:48:00]
>> Okay.
[1:48:02]
>> Plus the 100. [laughter]
[1:48:04]
So
[1:48:04]
>> plus the 100 that we have.
[1:48:06]
>> Yeah. That we're we have 200 in the
[1:48:08]
budget right now. So we'll use a hundred
[1:48:10]
of a down.
[1:48:11]
>> And then we'll have to budget
[1:48:15]
uh the payment plan. Did I don't include
[1:48:18]
that? I think it's about 110 per year.
[1:48:21]
>> So, in the past when we've had an issue
[1:48:25]
like obviously these issues get larger
[1:48:27]
by the second. So, um how have we
[1:48:31]
addressed that not have I mean obviously
[1:48:33]
we have a piece of equipment that we've
[1:48:34]
been trying to use. Has that worked and
[1:48:38]
so we we're at the behest of how we can
[1:48:41]
get a another machine.
[1:48:43]
>> Yeah. whether it's been Twin D or Twilla
[1:48:45]
Valley Pumping or whoever, we can get
[1:48:47]
out here as as quickly as they can come.
[1:48:49]
>> And on those emergency calls, they're
[1:48:51]
about 5 to $10,000 every time I have to
[1:48:53]
call them to come to do that.
[1:48:54]
>> And that could be just a onetime deal.
[1:48:57]
>> Yeah.
[1:48:59]
>> But this truck will then take care of
[1:49:00]
that. We won't have to
[1:49:02]
>> I feel like I'm in a man's world.
[1:49:04]
[laughter]
[1:49:07]
Sorry.
[1:49:10]
um any sort of uh additional insurance,
[1:49:14]
liability insurance that we may need to
[1:49:16]
have or cover by us doing it that a
[1:49:19]
contractor takes on themselves that that
[1:49:22]
may may we may not already have in place
[1:49:26]
that
[1:49:26]
>> coverage.
[1:49:30]
» What you're saying is by using it and if
[1:49:33]
we cause a problem by using it. Yes,
[1:49:37]
that's
[1:49:39]
because the contractor would take on
[1:49:40]
that liability if they caused an issue.
[1:49:45]
>> Just curious,
[1:49:47]
>> we carry like so obviously the vehicle
[1:49:49]
would be insured through city and then
[1:49:51]
grful city does have like a general
[1:49:53]
liability insurance policy already
[1:49:55]
placed into the trust that we pay for
[1:49:57]
that something if it did become
[1:49:59]
expensive would
[1:50:01]
come into play. So we it would be
[1:50:02]
covered under that policy that we do our
[1:50:04]
pay for it at that place.
[1:50:09]
» I think from a liability standpoint
[1:50:10]
though and I I just needed to ask the
[1:50:12]
question but sucking the bad stuff out
[1:50:15]
actually eliminates the liability
[1:50:16]
because that's the liability. So I mean
[1:50:18]
that's why we're doing it
[1:50:22]
sludge.
[1:50:23]
>> Did you look into
[1:50:25]
>> any other suppliers besides own like
[1:50:28]
>> Yeah.
[1:50:28]
>> Yes.
[1:50:29]
>> Yeah. And they
[1:50:30]
>> Yeah. So, we looked at three I'll let
[1:50:32]
Marcus speak.
[1:50:33]
>> Yeah. So, we we spoke with a couple
[1:50:35]
other companies. Uh, one truck was
[1:50:37]
pretty close to this price. One was a
[1:50:39]
lot cheaper
[1:50:41]
uh by about 80,000 but it the truck was
[1:50:45]
smaller and we're looking at doing a 12
[1:50:48]
yard truck so it haul more. There's some
[1:50:51]
areas, you know, getting out there and
[1:50:53]
coming back and forth hauling the
[1:50:54]
material back does take a little longer.
[1:50:56]
So, we're looking at a 12 yard truck. So
[1:50:59]
if you actually put 12 yard on that
[1:51:01]
actually come out to about the same
[1:51:02]
price. But we did go through three
[1:51:05]
different trucks manufacturers.
[1:51:10]
» And Owen is also on state contract. So
[1:51:13]
>> the best price.
[1:51:16]
>> I don't know though. Does the government
[1:51:17]
really pay the best price for things
[1:51:19]
[laughter]
[1:51:21]
>> that that's why I asked the
[1:51:23]
>> the UP3 up UP3 website and and the the
[1:51:28]
process that everyone goes through to to
[1:51:30]
get those state contracts, they do have
[1:51:32]
to bid those out and and they um they
[1:51:35]
get the best price for whoever
[1:51:37]
submitted.
[1:51:39]
So in answer to your question,
[1:51:42]
>> they go through like a bid process
[1:51:43]
similar to like we would on a project.
[1:51:45]
The state does something similar to
[1:51:47]
determine a contractor that would be on
[1:51:49]
state contract for the items
[1:51:52]
>> or supplier.
[1:51:53]
>> Yeah, exactly.
[1:51:55]
>> This truck does they did it does come
[1:51:57]
with fiveyear warranty on it. the truck
[1:52:00]
itself. Sorry, the vac truck and then
[1:52:02]
Freightlininer will be the truck and
[1:52:04]
that'll be through Freightlininer. But
[1:52:06]
the vac truck itself has a 5year
[1:52:08]
warranty on it. Bumper to bumper.
[1:52:11]
>> No, just on the vax back equipment.
[1:52:14]
[laughter]
[1:52:36]
Anyone have any other questions or
[1:52:40]
comments?
[1:52:42]
>> Mayor, I make a motion. We move to
[1:52:44]
approve resolution 2026-23
[1:52:47]
approving the purchase of a sewer vector
[1:52:50]
truck and authorizing partial funding
[1:52:52]
and financing. We have a motion by
[1:52:55]
council member Thomas. Is there a
[1:52:57]
second?
[1:52:58]
>> Second.
[1:52:59]
>> A second by council member Butler. All
[1:53:01]
in favor?
[1:53:02]
>> I say nay. I think it's overkill.
[1:53:06]
>> Okay. Uh, roll call. Council member
[1:53:09]
Butler,
[1:53:10]
>> yay.
[1:53:11]
>> Thomas,
[1:53:12]
>> yay.
[1:53:12]
>> Williams,
[1:53:13]
>> yay.
[1:53:14]
>> Skinner,
[1:53:15]
>> yay.
[1:53:15]
>> Dalton,
[1:53:16]
>> nay.
[1:53:17]
>> Thank you.
[1:53:23]
All right. Item number nine,
[1:53:25]
consideration of resolution 2026-21
[1:53:29]
approving the surplus of a
[1:53:30]
decommissioned police department vehicle
[1:53:32]
presented by Chief Sager.
[1:53:36]
>> Mayor, council, thank you. Um, I'm
[1:53:39]
looking to offload something, not pick
[1:53:41]
something up as come to its depreciation
[1:53:44]
time. We had two that came came forward.
[1:53:47]
We're able to mechanic thought we could
[1:53:49]
use one transfer it to code enforcement
[1:53:50]
because it's a part-time job and and
[1:53:52]
this one was recommended for surplus.
[1:53:55]
So, it's been in our fleet since 2018.
[1:53:57]
It's just got under 100,000 miles on it.
[1:54:01]
has some mechanical issues that uh
[1:54:03]
Riley didn't think was worth fixing and
[1:54:05]
time to get what money we can out of it.
[1:54:08]
So, that's what we have.
[1:54:18]
Can we walk through the decommissioning
[1:54:20]
process really quick? That's news, a
[1:54:23]
little bit new to me as far as what
[1:54:24]
processes followed there.
[1:54:26]
>> Last year, we presented it um in the
[1:54:29]
budget that I would need to looking at
[1:54:31]
these two. So about a year ago, I was
[1:54:33]
looking at this and then once once we
[1:54:36]
were approved for new vehicles, then we
[1:54:38]
started we kept these until the new
[1:54:41]
vehicles were up and running and then we
[1:54:42]
started tearing down all the equipment,
[1:54:44]
the older equipment that either work
[1:54:46]
that can be put into the new ones or
[1:54:49]
that the electrical equipment goes out
[1:54:51]
and you just kind of have to replace. So
[1:54:53]
it kind of goes by each vehicle. Like
[1:54:55]
right now I drive a 2012 truck and I
[1:54:57]
I'll probably be in that forever just
[1:54:59]
because I don't do the wear and tear
[1:55:01]
that patrol does, right? Because this
[1:55:03]
was a patrol vehicle. It's out running
[1:55:04]
around all the time. Investigation
[1:55:06]
vehicles are a little different. So
[1:55:07]
decommissioning is a little different on
[1:55:08]
those. We'll keep those a little longer
[1:55:10]
because they're not out running around,
[1:55:12]
you know, um going emergency calls and
[1:55:15]
things like that. But the patrol
[1:55:16]
vehicles, they have a little bit tighter
[1:55:18]
um window and it just depends on the
[1:55:21]
vehicle, but they usually last up to
[1:55:22]
five, six years. Um, some of them can be
[1:55:25]
lemons and we get rid of them sooner.
[1:55:27]
So,
[1:55:30]
>> and then if it's approved, then it goes
[1:55:31]
to public auction and then it's
[1:55:33]
auctioned off public auction website.
[1:55:36]
>> Yeah, Marie will take care of all that.
[1:55:38]
Um, a city staff member over here.
[1:55:44]
» Any idea how much we may get for
[1:55:47]
a a Dodge Ringo like this?
[1:55:49]
>> I don't know. I watch auctions quite a
[1:55:51]
bit. I I would say
[1:55:54]
I'd say minimum 10. Yeah, I would think
[1:55:58]
depend. I don't know. The economy is a
[1:55:59]
little different right now. So, it's
[1:56:00]
kind of Yeah, we see it everywhere else.
[1:56:04]
>> But the ones I've I see 10ish, I would
[1:56:08]
say. Last year, I estimated it uh up to 15, but I just don't think it's
[1:56:15]
there yet or this year.
[1:56:19]
That's just my guess on what I've seen.
[1:56:23]
Thank you.
[1:56:26]
>> Thank you, Chief.
[1:56:28]
>> Thank you. That sounds good. We're
[1:56:30]
actually making some gummy. [laughter]
[1:56:31]
>> Let's put this towards the back track
[1:56:35]
that
[1:56:36]
>> goes through.
[1:56:37]
>> I know. I know.
[1:56:38]
>> I don't know where it goes. I would hope
[1:56:40]
it goes back to equipment to put into
[1:56:41]
the new ones, but it goes to general
[1:56:43]
fund wherever it goes from there. Yeah.
[1:56:47]
[laughter] There
[1:56:47]
>> you go.
[1:56:48]
>> We'll try to get it back to you.
[1:56:53]
Mayor, I make a motion. We move to
[1:56:54]
approve resolution 202621 approving the
[1:56:57]
surplus of a decommissioned police
[1:56:59]
department vehicle.
[1:57:01]
>> We have a motion by council member
[1:57:03]
Thomas. Is there a second?
[1:57:05]
>> I'll second the motion.
[1:57:06]
>> A second by council member Skinner. All
[1:57:08]
in favor?
[1:57:09]
>> I.
[1:57:10]
>> Thank you.
[1:57:14]
Agenda item number 10, presentation of a
[1:57:16]
concept plan for the Sunage Terrace
[1:57:18]
subdivision phases 4 through six. And
[1:57:21]
just a reminder, this is a presentation
[1:57:23]
and discussion item only. We will not be
[1:57:26]
taking any action on this agenda item
[1:57:29]
tonight.
[1:57:37]
» So do we have you have the concept?
[1:57:39]
>> Do you have that Alia? Oh, this is Well,
[1:57:42]
this is the only thing.
[1:57:43]
>> Okay, that's Yeah, that's pretty much
[1:57:45]
what we were looking at doing.
[1:57:47]
>> Um, I've been working with staff for
[1:57:50]
quite a few months trying to come up
[1:57:51]
with a concept that works here for us.
[1:57:55]
Uh couple of things that we ran into was
[1:57:58]
on the very far west side the staff is
[1:58:02]
requiring us to put that main collector
[1:58:04]
road in. And they felt like it wasn't
[1:58:08]
fair to push half of it onto the
[1:58:09]
neighbors. So they requiring us to put
[1:58:12]
the whole road and I can't remember how
[1:58:15]
wide is the road.
[1:58:18]
[clears throat]
[1:58:18]
>> Yeah. There how wide that road that be?
[1:58:21]
>> It's a 90 foot road and then Main
[1:58:23]
Street. How wide is Main Street there?
[1:58:27]
>> 108.
[1:58:29]
>> Yeah. See, Main Street kind of starts
[1:58:31]
there and then it has a jog.
[1:58:33]
>> We weren't in the first couple phases we
[1:58:36]
did, we didn't do 108 foot wide road.
[1:58:38]
So, we kind of ran into some issues
[1:58:42]
there of we lost quite a few lots and
[1:58:45]
then uh we they wanted some
[1:58:46]
connectability up there onto the north
[1:58:49]
to Matt Canyon which cost us another
[1:58:51]
lot. So, what we were what I was coming
[1:58:53]
to the city council tonight to propose
[1:58:56]
is this is requires halfacres. It's a
[1:58:58]
halfacre density. Um, everything in
[1:59:01]
yellow is halfacre or larger. And we
[1:59:04]
were wondering if they would guys would
[1:59:07]
give us a small variance. The the lots
[1:59:09]
in the black are 20,000 square feet or
[1:59:12]
just over 20,000. So, just barely
[1:59:14]
smaller than a half acre, but it still
[1:59:18]
overall is halfacre density. But by
[1:59:21]
putting all the roads in and stuff, we
[1:59:23]
did lose quite a few lots and we're
[1:59:24]
trying to get it up to a minimum of 128.
[1:59:31]
So, is there any other questions? Oh, we
[1:59:33]
do have uh some open space that's going
[1:59:35]
to be maintained by an HOA.
[1:59:38]
Um it's approximately I think it's 8
[1:59:40]
acres
[1:59:42]
8 7.8 acres I believe. If I can read
[1:59:45]
this. Yeah, 7.8 8 acres of open space
[1:59:48]
that we will have while walking trail
[1:59:50]
in.
[1:59:52]
>> Can you point out where that would be?
[1:59:55]
>> Yeah.
[1:59:56]
>> I mean, I see the area at the end of
[1:59:57]
Apple Mill Road. I'm assuming that's
[1:59:59]
where you're
[2:00:00]
>> Yeah, it's kind of hard to see in
[2:00:01]
yellow. So, there's some open space
[2:00:02]
here. There'll be a drainage ditch that
[2:00:04]
comes down through here and then
[2:00:05]
there'll be a walking trail.
[2:00:08]
>> I don't believe it's on here. I think it
[2:00:09]
comes down and then comes around here. A
[2:00:11]
walking trail and then this will be some
[2:00:13]
open space there. Well, there on the end
[2:00:15]
of that Apple
[2:00:18]
[snorts]
[2:00:21]
said about seven acres.
[2:00:22]
>> Yeah, just over seven acres.
[2:00:40]
So, you're you're asking for 128 lots.
[2:00:43]
So if we had the road if the road wasn't
[2:00:45]
if you weren't being required to do the
[2:00:47]
road width where where were your lot
[2:00:50]
numbers before that?
[2:00:52]
>> 128.
[2:00:53]
>> So you're just trying to keep the same
[2:00:56]
keep put the roads in that are being
[2:00:57]
required.
[2:00:58]
>> Yeah. The wider roads, right? Trying to do that.
[2:01:05]
» So there is no increase in density.
[2:01:07]
>> There is not. No.
[2:01:11]
They would just be a little smaller than
[2:01:13]
the half acre I think that's required in
[2:01:16]
that zoning. I think at 21,780
[2:01:20]
square foot and these would be just like
[2:01:22]
20,500 square feet or
[2:01:24]
>> you're talking 15600 square feet total.
[2:01:27]
>> Yeah. Total.
[2:01:28]
>> And this road on the left would that be
[2:01:29]
that nag green loop?
[2:01:30]
>> I'm sorry. The left of
[2:01:32]
>> ultimately we connect over with the
[2:01:34]
larger network that we're trying to
[2:01:36]
build
[2:01:38]
>> that we discussed yesterday.
[2:01:40]
>> Yeah.
[2:01:42]
And and that is the loop though I'm
[2:01:44]
not asking you. I know you're going what
[2:01:45]
are you talking city staff green.
[2:01:49]
Thank you. Arterial
[2:01:51]
classifial.
[2:01:55]
[clears throat]
[2:02:14]
Just a question I guess I have on the
[2:02:17]
opposite side of what we're calling
[2:02:21]
Who is the property owner there and why
[2:02:22]
is it being pushed onto his side?
[2:02:25]
>> It's being pushed on.
[2:02:27]
>> Yeah,
[2:02:27]
>> that's what I mean. Yeah.
[2:02:28]
>> Yeah, I can speak to that. So, Matt
[2:02:30]
Canyon um borders the next development
[2:02:34]
up. That's the uh
[2:02:37]
>> um
[2:02:39]
Matt Canyon development.
[2:02:41]
>> Okay. So imaginatively named Matt Canyon
[2:02:44]
Development. Um
[2:02:46]
this is that road of existing homes that
[2:02:49]
uh moves to the south from off of Matt
[2:02:52]
Canyon.
[2:02:53]
>> Taylor Road,
[2:02:54]
>> I think it's Taylor Road. Yeah. So uh
[2:02:56]
these are those homes on that.
[2:02:58]
>> So there are existing homes that will
[2:03:00]
border this.
[2:03:01]
>> Correct. That's why we're pushing this
[2:03:03]
over.
[2:03:04]
>> That's right. Okay.
[2:03:05]
>> So it has to be unless we wanted to go
[2:03:07]
in and condemn everyone's backyards up
[2:03:09]
there. um which is uh
[2:03:12]
>> not popular.
[2:03:13]
>> It's not popular. It's possible, but not
[2:03:15]
popular. That's a good way to put it.
[2:03:16]
>> I'm for it. [laughter]
[2:03:20]
» Um
[2:03:21]
>> unless you get your 128 units, right?
[2:03:23]
>> Yeah. [laughter] I understand.
[2:03:26]
>> Uh Larry's been good to work with. I
[2:03:28]
just wanted to comment on that. He's been responsive to staff's concerns
[2:03:31]
and requests um as we've worked together
[2:03:35]
to modify this into something that is uh
[2:03:38]
equally
[2:03:42]
frustrating,
[2:03:43]
equally desirable, equally uh beneficial
[2:03:46]
for everybody. And um it's uh it's been
[2:03:49]
an iterative process as we've worked
[2:03:51]
through. uh he's got a few phases of the
[2:03:55]
development that he's already installed
[2:03:58]
uh as indicated, but uh as we look
[2:04:00]
forward to finishing these ones out, um
[2:04:04]
this is what his request is. U staff
[2:04:07]
does have a concern in that uh if we do
[2:04:10]
allow for a relaxed application of this,
[2:04:13]
it would probably need to be put into a
[2:04:16]
master development agreement that would
[2:04:18]
do uh a couple of things for us. it
[2:04:21]
would lock in his entitlements and make
[2:04:22]
sure that this layout is is guaranteed
[2:04:25]
and um not subject to future
[2:04:30]
changes in the ordinance. But it would
[2:04:32]
also um
[2:04:34]
allow him to have the the flexibility to
[2:04:37]
come in under the uh required
[2:04:41]
uh minimum square footage for the zone
[2:04:43]
which is exactly one half acre. So the 21,07 whatever um
[2:04:52]
again it doesn't need to be a big
[2:04:54]
science project that way but it it would
[2:04:56]
be something that we would need to do in
[2:04:58]
order to provide that flexibility from
[2:05:00]
the strict requirements of the code
[2:05:06]
for lots 319 320 and 321 are those
[2:05:09]
already built
[2:05:10]
>> just off of Apple Mill Road right out of
[2:05:12]
that culde-sac
[2:05:13]
>> um everything outside of the blue line.
[2:05:16]
>> The the darker blue line.
[2:05:18]
>> 319.
[2:05:19]
>> Yeah. The bottom of that culdeacite,
[2:05:22]
right? To your left. Down.
[2:05:24]
>> No. Down
[2:05:25]
>> the south. The
[2:05:26]
>> No, the three to the your left.
[2:05:29]
>> Okay. No, they're not build. They'll be
[2:05:31]
part of phase three, which is
[2:05:33]
>> has been approved. We're just working
[2:05:35]
with staff to get the construction
[2:05:38]
drawings finalized and get started on
[2:05:40]
those. But that phase three had been
[2:05:42]
approved a year ago. I asked I think it
[2:05:44]
was brought up in planning commission
[2:05:46]
too. If we're going to make these lots
[2:05:48]
to the north smaller, is there any way
[2:05:51]
we can make those three lots smaller to
[2:05:53]
get so there's not that jut in in Main
[2:05:55]
Street? Is that something you'd be
[2:05:57]
willing to do or No,
[2:06:00]
>> I mean, I'd be willing to do it if it
[2:06:03]
didn't delay my start date on when I
[2:06:07]
could start on this phase because we're
[2:06:08]
pretty close to having everything ready
[2:06:10]
to where we can start turning dirt and going along. I mean, I think it
[2:06:14]
would be nice. I know, uh, staff has
[2:06:17]
asked if we would straighten the road
[2:06:18]
out, and I think if if we could work
[2:06:20]
with, uh, if they didn't hold up our
[2:06:23]
phase three approval, I mean, I I don't
[2:06:26]
think it's a big deal for us just to
[2:06:28]
draw a straight line across the
[2:06:29]
construction.
[2:06:30]
>> The hard one is going to be this one
[2:06:31]
that is just off of the
[2:06:33]
>> Yeah, that one there because that's
[2:06:35]
already sold. So, um I mean we could we
[2:06:39]
could do something to make it a little
[2:06:41]
bit less of an abrupt shift here, but it
[2:06:45]
doesn't really get us a whole lot. Um
[2:06:47]
this is a 33 foot cross-section here.
[2:06:51]
That's what that number is up. You can't
[2:06:53]
see it.
[2:06:54]
>> How big are those lots there, Bill?
[2:06:56]
They're bigger than a halfacre.
[2:06:57]
>> Yeah, these are 22,000. That's 21. So,
[2:07:00]
this is just over. This is just over.
[2:07:02]
This is a little bigger because it's got
[2:07:03]
this over here.
[2:07:05]
Um,
[2:07:07]
yeah,
[2:07:11]
we would like it just for aesthetics,
[2:07:13]
but as far as the flow and function of
[2:07:15]
the road, we're not going to be gaining
[2:07:17]
that much uh additional
[2:07:21]
uh capacity out of those three lots to
[2:07:23]
make it worth a big fight over.
[2:07:26]
>> But we could smooth that out.
[2:07:27]
>> It would smooth it out and maybe look
[2:07:29]
aesthetically more pleasing. But we
[2:07:30]
could also push that little dog leg over
[2:07:34]
to the west just a little bit more. So
[2:07:36]
that smooths it out on on the property
[2:07:38]
that um is not involved with the phase
[2:07:40]
three
[2:07:43]
>> because we have the open space there
[2:07:45]
that we could maybe take that smooth
[2:07:48]
that dog leg out into that as well.
[2:07:49]
>> Yeah, if if necessary. That something we
[2:07:52]
could look at there.
[2:07:54]
[clears throat]
[2:08:23]
Is there anything in in this agreement
[2:08:26]
that states that 128 lots
[2:08:31]
um is the maximum. I mean, I'm seeing it
[2:08:33]
here, but I just want to make sure that
[2:08:34]
it like this is where we stay. 128.
[2:08:39]
>> Yeah. We don't have an agreement, per
[2:08:40]
se. We would have to enter into an
[2:08:42]
agreement that would protect his
[2:08:44]
interests and entitlements as well as
[2:08:46]
give the city what we want. Um that's
[2:08:50]
typically how this kind of thing is
[2:08:51]
done. you get a a little bit of a
[2:08:53]
relaxed
[2:08:55]
maximum or minimum square footage rather
[2:08:57]
um on those lots so that they come in
[2:09:00]
and and um the number of units is what
[2:09:03]
is protected not necessarily the square
[2:09:06]
footage of each one
[2:09:07]
>> right
[2:09:07]
>> so
[2:09:12]
and I'm not sure how the math works out
[2:09:13]
but it's approximately
[2:09:16]
if I can read this 80 that's up here in
[2:09:18]
the corner it gives you that's 90 92.5
[2:09:21]
five seven acres and I'm not sure
[2:09:24]
exactly how the math would work out on
[2:09:26]
if that was halfacre lots. I think I did
[2:09:30]
some napkin math and it was about 132,
[2:09:33]
but you have to take in the roads and
[2:09:35]
stuff.
[2:09:37]
So, we're only asking for 128
[2:10:02]
We're just looking at Google Earth.
[2:10:04]
Sorry. You [laughter] guys got any
[2:10:05]
questions?
[2:10:07]
>> I'm trying to orient
[2:10:09]
>> the edges of this how they tie into what
[2:10:11]
we currently have.
[2:10:12]
>> So, are those north plots that backside
[2:10:15]
that's going to be Matt Canyon Road
[2:10:16]
right there?
[2:10:18]
>> Kirk.
[2:10:18]
>> Yeah.
[2:10:19]
>> No. No. Um maybe I need to Google Earth
[2:10:22]
too then. [laughter]
[2:10:23]
>> So it's going to be on the top.
[2:10:25]
>> This is Main Street here. This is the
[2:10:27]
extension of Main Street. This is
[2:10:30]
>> West
[2:10:31]
138 goes up this way.
[2:10:33]
>> Then you have
[2:10:34]
>> there. And then that canyon is you've
[2:10:36]
got the subdivision
[2:10:37]
>> above subdivision to the north.
[2:10:40]
>> And then on the other side of that is
[2:10:41]
where Desireette starts.
[2:10:43]
>> So the homes on Taylor Road, where do
[2:10:45]
they align with? I'm trying to see where
[2:10:48]
they align with the edge of this
[2:10:49]
property.
[2:10:50]
>> Right.
[2:10:51]
>> And they all have larger lots. So
[2:10:54]
>> on the left hand side is that that's
[2:10:55]
what I right along that side right
[2:10:57]
there. Right.
[2:10:58]
>> And then this is that that other
[2:11:00]
subdivision that's gone in with the much
[2:11:01]
larger lots. They're like several acres.
[2:11:05]
>> Yeah. They're five plus acres.
[2:11:06]
>> Yeah.
[2:11:07]
>> So 10.
[2:11:09]
>> Yeah. Unlikely to and unpopular like
[2:11:12]
that. unpopular to take 45 ft of their
[2:11:15]
backyard and only require him to do 45
[2:11:18]
ft
[2:11:19]
of the half width on his property, which
[2:11:21]
is what he's done here. That's 45 ft.
[2:11:24]
This is 33 and this expands to 45 right
[2:11:27]
through here.
[2:11:29]
So,
[2:11:33]
» you want me to put this up?
[2:11:35]
>> Yeah. Yeah, sure.
[2:11:43]
a little more to the west if you would
[2:11:45]
please.
[2:11:47]
>> Yeah, that road properties there.
[2:12:10]
You can see that the open space that's
[2:12:12]
to be dedicated is this gully that's
[2:12:14]
right through here.
[2:12:16]
So that would be
[2:12:19]
>> where that open space dedication would
[2:12:21]
be those uh a little bit down through
[2:12:24]
here and then Main Street you can see
[2:12:26]
would come over this way and
[2:12:30]
Yeah.
[2:12:48]
Anybody like to make a motion? Anybody
[2:12:50]
have any other question?
[2:12:52]
>> Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. I'm the one
[2:12:54]
that said it.
[2:12:55]
>> We'll take a motion.
[2:12:56]
>> Yeah. [laughter]
[2:12:57]
>> Okay. Could could I just give um just
[2:13:00]
the other council members um who may not
[2:13:03]
have been here when you were in last um
[2:13:07]
you brought forth a um a plan previously
[2:13:12]
that had
[2:13:14]
more density, right? plenty of open
[2:13:16]
spaces, parks, and um at the request of the the citizens, the neighbors, and
[2:13:25]
even the city council, we directed you
[2:13:27]
to just go with the halfacre lots and
[2:13:30]
just build um build build what you had.
[2:13:34]
So, um just kind of an FYI, that was the
[2:13:38]
direction we gave him in early 2025,
[2:13:41]
probably
[2:13:43]
maybe late 2024.
[2:13:46]
Yeah. Something like that. Been
[2:13:47]
>> going on for quite a while.
[2:13:49]
>> Yeah. Yeah. And Derek, you were involved
[2:13:51]
with planning and zoning um with all
[2:13:54]
that and I think planning and zone was
[2:13:55]
pretty much on the same page
[2:13:58]
>> um with city council. So,
[2:14:06]
any other discussion if this is not
[2:14:08]
something we're going to vote on
[2:14:09]
tonight? Does anyone have any other
[2:14:11]
direction to give?
[2:14:13]
>> I guess I had a question on on Brett.
[2:14:14]
So, you're saying is this closer to what
[2:14:16]
the city council wanted and
[2:14:18]
>> this is closer to the direction we gave
[2:14:20]
them? Yes. I mean,
[2:14:22]
yes.
[2:14:24]
>> Well, we would always like more open
[2:14:26]
space.
[2:14:27]
>> Um Yeah. I mean
[2:14:29]
>> I mean to me the lots still there's
[2:14:31]
still all at least 20,000 square feet.
[2:14:33]
They're all they're just under
[2:14:36]
>> half acre. The black is what we're
[2:14:38]
looking at, right? That are the
[2:14:39]
>> within 5%.
[2:14:40]
>> Right. It's not
[2:14:41]
>> Yeah. I guess what I was just seeking
[2:14:43]
[clears throat] tonight is just to see
[2:14:44]
if this is something you guys can get
[2:14:46]
behind before I go throw a whole lot
[2:14:47]
more money in the engineering and then
[2:14:49]
come back for final approval.
[2:14:50]
>> Yeah.
[2:14:51]
>> Then for guys to say, "Oh, no. It
[2:14:52]
doesn't meet requirements." So
[2:14:54]
>> then he will be taken on the full road
[2:14:56]
of
[2:14:58]
>> That's right.
[2:14:58]
>> Yeah.
[2:14:59]
>> Which is huge compared to because
[2:15:01]
usually it's split happen.
[2:15:02]
>> Yeah. And we can't front anything on
[2:15:05]
Main Street or Nigraine. We can't have
[2:15:08]
any lots fronting that. So that's one of
[2:15:11]
the reasons we did lose some some lots
[2:15:13]
on our original layout. We did have some
[2:15:16]
fronting onto that road. So that was one
[2:15:19]
of the challenges as well.
[2:15:20]
>> Alicia, can you move that back to see
[2:15:21]
Main Street?
[2:15:24]
>> So as far as the buildout of of Main
[2:15:26]
Street, because none of this is I mean
[2:15:28]
this is just a dirt road, right? This
[2:15:31]
Main Street.
[2:15:32]
>> Um no, Main Street is
[2:15:34]
>> up until you get
[2:15:35]
>> Oh, yes.
[2:15:35]
>> Yes.
[2:15:35]
>> Uhhuh. So will you be building out the
[2:15:38]
full build out of Main Street as well or
[2:15:40]
just one side?
[2:15:42]
>> Just one side. As far I understand
[2:15:43]
correct, Bill, we just it's uh it's a
[2:15:46]
108t road. So we are putting in you know
[2:15:49]
54 feet which which is a big road.
[2:15:52]
>> Yes.
[2:15:57]
» But the full width of the Green
[2:15:59]
Street.
[2:16:00]
>> Yes.
[2:16:00]
>> Okay.
[2:16:04]
What's between lot 511 and 12?
[2:16:07]
>> Um, where's that? Oh, that is an access
[2:16:10]
road to get to Matt Canyon. Um, staff
[2:16:13]
had thought we should have a uh
[2:16:16]
>> a road halfway through so it's not I
[2:16:19]
think Bill's words were it's it'll be a
[2:16:20]
racetrack.
[2:16:21]
>> Yeah.
[2:16:21]
>> If uh you don't
[2:16:23]
[clears throat and cough] have
[2:16:23]
connectability people get going too
[2:16:24]
fast.
[2:16:26]
>> So that
[2:16:27]
>> so you won't be responsible for any of
[2:16:29]
Matt Canyon Road. So Matt Canyon Road is
[2:16:31]
not directly behind these lots. Is that
[2:16:33]
correct? That is correct. It's a ways
[2:16:36]
further.
[2:16:36]
>> Yeah. There'll be houses from Matt
[2:16:38]
Canyon that border up against those.
[2:16:40]
>> Yeah.
[2:16:46]
» I think the only question I have is just
[2:16:48]
more in line with the visibility of the
[2:16:51]
open space as far as what that entails.
[2:16:54]
Um I know we've one of the main desires
[2:16:58]
I I'll speak for myself uh regarding new
[2:17:02]
developments is ensuring that we have uh
[2:17:07]
trail systems that are interconnecting.
[2:17:10]
Um I know that is one big request from
[2:17:13]
residents is one. So, I'm sure it's a
[2:17:16]
selling point for new residents is
[2:17:18]
having a space to be able to walk and trying to have some
[2:17:21]
interconnectivity
[2:17:23]
from one uh subdivision
[2:17:26]
or development to another would be also
[2:17:29]
of interest. And so maybe just
[2:17:33]
being able to visually see what that is.
[2:17:36]
Uh because this is new to me. It's not
[2:17:38]
new to some of the other members members
[2:17:40]
of council, but just being able to see
[2:17:42]
what that would be and entail that. I
[2:17:44]
don't see anything here. I mean, I know
[2:17:46]
this is conceptual, but what does that
[2:17:49]
what would that look like or
[2:17:51]
>> Yes. Um, that's a good question. We did
[2:17:53]
have a trail system on the a concept
[2:17:55]
that we were working with staff on.
[2:17:57]
>> Okay.
[2:17:57]
>> Um, so there is a trail and I think uh
[2:18:00]
it comes through those yellow
[2:18:02]
down there and then around and up
[2:18:04]
through the open space. But we can, you
[2:18:06]
know, we'll we'll we'll put a trail
[2:18:08]
system in. I know that is something that staff has recommended we do. I
[2:18:13]
think city council two years ago had had
[2:18:15]
requested a trail and we had
[2:18:16]
incorporated that in there but we just
[2:18:18]
didn't put it on this concept and so
[2:18:20]
there will be a trail system in there
[2:18:21]
>> and that will go to
[2:18:24]
>> no it won't go over to it'll come
[2:18:26]
up it'll come I think if I remember Bill
[2:18:29]
didn't it come down through here I believe was it
[2:18:36]
here I think it came down
[2:18:38]
>> through here like this and then
[2:18:42]
down into this open space and then over
[2:18:44]
like that is how I thought we had it
[2:18:46]
right. remember.
[2:18:48]
>> Yeah. So, so he he did have an iteration
[2:18:50]
where
[2:18:51]
>> he had trail network kind of going
[2:18:52]
through the middle of lots. I think in
[2:18:54]
our last vision we asked, you can
[2:18:56]
imagine that 10 foot wide thing between
[2:19:00]
these lots right here and it's kind of a
[2:19:02]
vandalism alley or whatever. So, we
[2:19:04]
asked him to to put the trail system
[2:19:07]
through here. I know. And then I think
[2:19:10]
that was the extent of it. It probably
[2:19:11]
came through here and then up to this
[2:19:14]
street, but we didn't think that that
[2:19:16]
was the best just just like secluded,
[2:19:20]
you know, people tag, whatever between
[2:19:23]
two fences. So, but that certainly could
[2:19:25]
be a different away, but that's kind of
[2:19:28]
the latest direction that we we thought
[2:19:30]
might be a good idea is a trail system
[2:19:32]
along this goalie way.
[2:19:37]
» And it would go up through that goalie
[2:19:39]
way and then tie into that canyon just a
[2:19:42]
subdivision up there.
[2:19:51]
Just so you guys know, the distance
[2:19:52]
between the far north side of his
[2:19:55]
property and Matt Canyon is 1300 feet.
[2:19:58]
Looks quite a ways.
[2:19:59]
>> Yeah. Yeah, that is more than I
[2:20:02]
expected.
[2:20:08]
» All right. Do we have any other
[2:20:10]
direction? Oh, Jake.
[2:20:11]
>> The roadway on the west is is 60 feet. I
[2:20:15]
can't see that. It's in yellow. My I'm
[2:20:17]
color blind to yellow. I think for
[2:20:20]
>> about 108
[2:20:21]
>> 108 ft. Okay. All right. So the and the
[2:20:25]
roadway between lot 511 and
[2:20:28]
>> 66
[2:20:29]
>> 60
[2:20:30]
>> 66
[2:20:34]
>> Okay. So standard.
[2:20:36]
>> All right.
[2:20:37]
>> Yeah. The yellow didn't show up very
[2:20:38]
well. Change the color.
[2:20:41]
>> Yeah. We'll change it to black next
[2:20:43]
time, but we just wanted to see. But if
[2:20:45]
this is something that we feel like we
[2:20:47]
get support from state from city
[2:20:48]
council, we'll we'll proceed with it and
[2:20:50]
then we'll be back with the uh MDA and
[2:20:54]
the the concept.
[2:20:56]
>> Um I I mean I know you've been
[2:20:58]
frustrated at times. It's been a long
[2:20:59]
process, but I think this is a a good
[2:21:02]
give and take for the city to get those
[2:21:04]
roads that we need. And it's 5% off, so
[2:21:08]
I'm I'm a I'm a go on it.
[2:21:11]
>> Okay. 5% off and we're not taking from
[2:21:14]
the existing residents.
[2:21:15]
>> Yeah.
[2:21:16]
>> Um
[2:21:17]
>> and we're not increasing the density in
[2:21:19]
any way.
[2:21:20]
>> Nope.
[2:21:21]
>> Just percent. And there's been there's
[2:21:24]
been times where we've had um concept
[2:21:28]
plans come in and even final PL plans
[2:21:30]
where they've adjusted here and there
[2:21:32]
with square footage wise and just
[2:21:34]
doesn't work out. And I mean this is a
[2:21:36]
little bit more than what we've seen in
[2:21:38]
the past. This is How many lots are
[2:21:40]
there in black? Probably
[2:21:43]
>> 50 plus.
[2:21:46]
[clears throat]
[2:21:47]
>> I counted them. Um 53.
[2:21:50]
>> Yeah. And there's 75 that are half and a lot of them are over at half acre.
[2:21:56]
They're 53 or so. So it's a nice mix.
[2:22:03]
» Thank you for your efforts.
[2:22:04]
>> All right.
[2:22:04]
>> Any other direction for him tonight?
[2:22:08]
>> No. Okay. Thank you.
[2:22:09]
>> Thank you.
[2:22:12]
» All right. Moving on to item number 11.
[2:22:15]
A discussion and council direction of
[2:22:18]
the town homes on Willow sidewalks.
[2:22:25]
» Before we turn the time over to Barry,
[2:22:27]
um I just wanted to who's got going to
[2:22:29]
do the bulk of that?
[2:22:32]
I just wanted to say that uh Sean has
[2:22:34]
been very patient working with us. um
[2:22:38]
trying to I mean this is his project
[2:22:40]
that's being held up and we've tried to
[2:22:43]
get answers for him and and work with
[2:22:45]
him. Um we've met with him out on site
[2:22:48]
several times and he's been very
[2:22:49]
gracious about uh working with staff and
[2:22:52]
with property owners trying to get to a
[2:22:54]
good resolution on this. Um and uh just
[2:22:58]
wanted to say publicly thank you to Sean
[2:23:01]
for uh being willing to work with us on
[2:23:04]
these things and being patient as we try
[2:23:05]
to figure these things out. So, uh, just
[2:23:07]
wanted to make that comment and then let
[2:23:10]
Barry take it over.
[2:23:15]
» Do you want to say anything?
[2:23:18]
>> Go for it. I'll say it afterwards.
[2:23:20]
[laughter] Anything you miss? I doubt
[2:23:21]
you will.
[2:23:24]
Well, um
[2:23:27]
I think the whole well my goal is is to
[2:23:32]
demonstrate to the council the
[2:23:34]
conditions of Willow Street from Dery to
[2:23:37]
Maine and incorporate with that the
[2:23:41]
plans of we just had this, you know,
[2:23:44]
this transportation plan yesterday and
[2:23:47]
Willow Street is is a already considered
[2:23:51]
a collector road and it's continued to
[2:23:54]
be a collector road. Um, and so with
[2:23:58]
this development, sorry, I'm just so I
[2:24:02]
can keep track of my own thoughts here.
[2:24:05]
Just going to log in.
[2:24:08]
Um, and so there's been a lot of
[2:24:11]
discussion about what the rightway is
[2:24:13]
and what it should be in the future and is it all going to work together? Um
[2:24:19]
there's a memo in here about
[2:24:21]
originally we we had questions about can
[2:24:24]
this sidewalk in particular be in a
[2:24:27]
different location because there are se
[2:24:29]
you know three residents south of this
[2:24:31]
project that their front yards are being
[2:24:33]
impacted. You know they've put in their
[2:24:35]
grass and some landscaping rocks and we
[2:24:37]
just wanted to confirm that where the
[2:24:39]
sidewalk is planned to be is in the
[2:24:41]
correct location and we have verified
[2:24:44]
that. Um there's also discussion about
[2:24:47]
do we need the park strip and what kind
[2:24:49]
of curb and gutter and and a bunch of
[2:24:52]
things. And so um one thing that I just
[2:24:56]
want to point out is the town homes on
[2:24:58]
Willow is a planned unit development and
[2:25:01]
there are certain conditions that were
[2:25:02]
placed on the development as part of the
[2:25:04]
approval and one of those conditions is specifically written that the
[2:25:10]
sidewalk should be at the west boundary
[2:25:11]
of the rideway and some other things. So
[2:25:14]
when it was asked of me if we could make
[2:25:16]
a change, you know, I discovered these
[2:25:18]
things and and frankly I said I I can't
[2:25:20]
bypass what what the conditions of the
[2:25:23]
city council were were put on the
[2:25:25]
project and and do something different
[2:25:27]
without
[2:25:29]
unless it was dee deemed you know some
[2:25:31]
minor change. And so that's one question
[2:25:34]
I guess. But um so there's there's that
[2:25:37]
there's benefits of having the sidewalk
[2:25:39]
be where it is separated from from the
[2:25:42]
curb and gutter. Um there's a multiple
[2:25:46]
number of reasons why and I don't know
[2:25:47]
if it's detailed in this memo. I don't
[2:25:50]
know if you've read through it, if you
[2:25:51]
have any questions about that, but um so
[2:25:55]
there are benefits. There are, you know,
[2:25:57]
safety reasons to consider that with
[2:26:01]
where the lane configuration is antic
[2:26:04]
anticipated to be in the future and the
[2:26:06]
sidewalks and the proximity of the
[2:26:08]
school plus all these town homes comes
[2:26:10]
into play in this situation where we
[2:26:13]
really need to think about pedestrians
[2:26:16]
in this area versus vehicles. And and so
[2:26:19]
there is a benefit of separation.
[2:26:21]
There's a benefit of a highback curb
[2:26:23]
for, you know, just alerting an errant
[2:26:26]
driver before they might get into a
[2:26:28]
sidewalk. Um
[2:26:31]
there's a lot of things that are being
[2:26:33]
considered here, I guess. But but mainly
[2:26:35]
I I wanted to point out that
[2:26:38]
I felt like I couldn't make a decision
[2:26:40]
about where the sidewalk or curbon
[2:26:41]
gutter could go because it was
[2:26:43]
specifically outlined in a in a
[2:26:46]
resolution. So that's in here. Um
[2:26:51]
the next thing that was kind of just to explore ideas was well can we make it
[2:26:55]
a a different kind of curb and gutter
[2:26:58]
and leave the sidewalk where it needs to
[2:27:00]
be so that you know maybe um there's
[2:27:04]
some grading, some elevation challenges
[2:27:07]
with the just sloping the road how it
[2:27:09]
should be done and then where people's
[2:27:11]
driveways are at. So, I looked at that
[2:27:13]
and and there is a minimal um elevation
[2:27:17]
gain to doing a a modified curb and
[2:27:19]
gutter, but you give up a bunch of
[2:27:22]
capacity and conveyance of of storm
[2:27:24]
water. Um that's if you want to go down,
[2:27:30]
keep going, and we can go back to some
[2:27:32]
of these things. So, I highlighted there
[2:27:34]
where this was a memo that talked about,
[2:27:37]
you know, put the sidewalk curb and
[2:27:38]
gutter aligned on the west rightway
[2:27:40]
line. So, I didn't feel like I could
[2:27:43]
bypass that language. Um, keep going
[2:27:46]
down [clears throat] and and this was
[2:27:48]
just more of the resolution that was
[2:27:52]
made when this was approved. Talks about
[2:27:55]
the sidewalk. Um, if you keep going
[2:27:57]
down,
[2:27:59]
this is just hydraulic analysis of a
[2:28:00]
different kind of a curb. Um, so that
[2:28:03]
was the modified type. And if you keep
[2:28:06]
going down, um, that's the traditional
[2:28:09]
standard
[2:28:10]
city standard curb and gutter. Um, so I
[2:28:14]
did some hydraulic analysis here. If you keep going down, I can't remember
[2:28:17]
the number off the top of my head, but
[2:28:18]
this is the modified number. Um, it can
[2:28:22]
flow 5.6 CFS at its fullest, you know,
[2:28:26]
at when the water level is at the top of
[2:28:28]
the curb versus if you keep going down.
[2:28:30]
So 5.6 six versus
[2:28:33]
keep going till the next page. Keep
[2:28:36]
going. Uh 10.75 right there. So, it's a
[2:28:40]
trade-off. If you go to this modified
[2:28:43]
curb, you're you're giving up some
[2:28:44]
capacity to say convey minor and and
[2:28:48]
significant storm events that that may
[2:28:50]
run in the street in the future. So
[2:28:53]
those were these are just engineering
[2:28:56]
background information
[2:28:58]
um and and questions that came up. What
[2:29:01]
can we do? Can we do something
[2:29:02]
different? You know, because we are kind
[2:29:04]
of uh unfortunately when the subdivision
[2:29:07]
that these three lots that are south of
[2:29:10]
this development were put in, you know,
[2:29:12]
they they didn't do the curb gutter and stuff at that time. And so then
[2:29:16]
people build their driveways to what the
[2:29:17]
street is. And so they kind of sit low
[2:29:20]
where if you put in a curbon gutter,
[2:29:22]
they would have been a little higher.
[2:29:23]
So, and then it just, you know, that's
[2:29:25]
just kind of the natural thing. And so
[2:29:27]
there just are some grade challenges at
[2:29:29]
the back of the sidewalk that that need
[2:29:31]
to be I mean they're part of the
[2:29:32]
consideration and part of the questions.
[2:29:36]
Um and [clears throat] then just what
[2:29:39]
just more explanation of what's next in these documents is just a futuristic
[2:29:45]
look of of what Willow Street would be
[2:29:48]
if we you know consider it to be a
[2:29:50]
collector street which is a minor
[2:29:54]
collector here with three lanes um one
[2:29:56]
in each direction with this center turn
[2:29:58]
lane that you know then intersections
[2:29:59]
could be configured differently but um
[2:30:04]
so here at this in the top. You can see,
[2:30:07]
maybe it isn't clear to you, but it's a
[2:30:09]
currently a 60 ft ride ofway. When the
[2:30:12]
town homes on Willow Development came
[2:30:14]
in, the standard road section calls for
[2:30:17]
a 66 ft ride of way. So that's 33 ft on
[2:30:22]
their half of the road, right? So
[2:30:24]
there's a 3-ft difference between the
[2:30:26]
existing 30ft half width and the 33 foot
[2:30:30]
half width, which is our current
[2:30:32]
standard. So here in the green you can
[2:30:34]
see where the sidewalk is is planned to
[2:30:36]
jog and and the park strip widened by 3
[2:30:38]
ft. Um that's the current plan and
[2:30:42]
that's what's been approved. These are
[2:30:44]
approved construction drawings.
[2:30:47]
Um
[2:30:49]
and yeah, if you go kind of at the
[2:30:52]
bottom there would need to be a
[2:30:54]
transition back to the 60oot rideway or
[2:30:57]
the 30 foot half width. Um and where
[2:31:01]
that development particularly did that
[2:31:03]
is in the park strip. You went from 6
[2:31:05]
1/2 ft to 3 1/2 ft. And um so this plan,
[2:31:10]
this concept here um shows the road,
[2:31:14]
futuristic road within the 60 ft ride
[2:31:16]
ofway. And again, it's a lane in each
[2:31:19]
direction with a potential center turn
[2:31:22]
lane. Um there's only a two-ft shoulder
[2:31:25]
before you get to the curb and gutter
[2:31:27]
and then only a three and a half foot
[2:31:28]
park strip with a five foot sidewalk. Um
[2:31:31]
but it but it's doable in plan view.
[2:31:35]
There's also you know things to consider
[2:31:37]
grades and and stuff like that. So, um,
[2:31:41]
but
[2:31:43]
the intent of these drawings is just to
[2:31:45]
show what it what it could be long term
[2:31:48]
if we if we just build out what's
[2:31:51]
planned and and push it all the way
[2:31:54]
through from this development north to
[2:31:56]
Main Street just to demonstrate that
[2:31:58]
that's what it would would look like and
[2:32:00]
that that's the potential and that's
[2:32:01]
what it's planned to be. um according to
[2:32:04]
our transportation master plan just a
[2:32:07]
lane in each direction with a potential
[2:32:09]
you know left turn lane so that you know
[2:32:12]
you don't get the queueing and the
[2:32:13]
backup for the through lanes. So, um
[2:32:19]
there there's a lot of um questions that
[2:32:23]
have been asked about this and these are
[2:32:24]
just some things that I that have been
[2:32:27]
brought up and my analysis of the
[2:32:29]
situation and what the benefits and
[2:32:31]
trade-offs may be. I don't know if I
[2:32:34]
need to say any more but um other than
[2:32:38]
you can see if you go to the this bottom
[2:32:40]
sheet and then maybe the next sheet I am
[2:32:43]
showing a 25 ft which is the the zoning
[2:32:46]
regulation here uh 25 ft front yard
[2:32:50]
setback and you can see that most of the houses are placed right at that line
[2:32:56]
and so if we were to go in here and
[2:32:58]
widen out Willow Street to get something
[2:33:02]
wider
[2:33:03]
you know, we're really kind of shrinking
[2:33:05]
up people's front yards quite a bit. And
[2:33:08]
then, you know, we're maybe in that
[2:33:09]
situation where we're eminent domaining
[2:33:12]
these properties.
[2:33:12]
>> Back to the unpopular thing.
[2:33:14]
So,
[2:33:16]
>> is too narrow.
[2:33:17]
>> Like, if somebody's parked on the side
[2:33:19]
of the road [laughter] and two vehicles
[2:33:20]
are passing, it's already almost an
[2:33:22]
issue. Yeah. So,
[2:33:23]
>> and part of that is because of the
[2:33:25]
pavement width isn't
[2:33:26]
>> right
[2:33:27]
>> exactly what what it would be in this
[2:33:29]
scenario. the pavement widths only ft
[2:33:32]
but you also have people street
[2:33:36]
>> maybe even less you know in in places.
[2:33:39]
So, um [clears throat] I think the
[2:33:42]
outcome to this is or or I I think where
[2:33:47]
the town homes on Willow development
[2:33:49]
wants solid direction is is he putting
[2:33:53]
in the curb gutter where it needs to go?
[2:33:55]
What kind of curb gutter is it? Is the
[2:33:57]
sidewalk going per the plan? Because you
[2:33:59]
there's been some questions is, you
[2:34:01]
know, can we do something different?
[2:34:02]
What are the options? And
[2:34:04]
[clears throat] so, you know, he's
[2:34:06]
getting to the point where once school
[2:34:08]
gets out, this road is going to be
[2:34:10]
completed and and done. And we're trying
[2:34:13]
to wait till then just to avoid all the
[2:34:16]
traffic of the elementary school on this
[2:34:18]
road.
[2:34:20]
And so, um,
[2:34:22]
>> then the other one was his set pack
[2:34:24]
whether it's goes six feet for the 32.
[2:34:26]
>> Yeah. So if if the I mean you can see
[2:34:29]
here that if the majority of the road is
[2:34:32]
60 ft
[2:34:34]
you know for his development the
[2:34:36]
standard at the time was a 33 ft half
[2:34:38]
width so it the park strip got wider. So
[2:34:41]
if the rest of the street isn't going to
[2:34:43]
be that way do we want his portion of
[2:34:46]
the street to have that wider park
[2:34:48]
strip? So that's the other question.
[2:34:52]
And you know there there are benefits to
[2:34:55]
that perceived and real of of separation
[2:34:58]
of you know pedestrians but that goes
[2:35:00]
away once you get south of the of this
[2:35:02]
project anyways before you get to Dery.
[2:35:04]
And so um it it doesn't offer any more
[2:35:08]
parking. It doesn't you know do anything
[2:35:10]
for the drainage. It's just more park
[2:35:13]
space or park strip space where, you
[2:35:15]
know, plantings and signage and things
[2:35:18]
like that are placed, snow, other
[2:35:21]
considerations. Um, but yeah,
[2:35:25]
that's that's another question.
[2:35:29]
>> What was the curbing gutter approved?
[2:35:32]
>> The Was it a cat the 6inch highback or
[2:35:35]
was it it was a cat? Okay. So, was
[2:35:37]
wasn't push?
[2:35:39]
No,
[2:35:40]
>> just the standard patch.
[2:35:41]
>> This one.
[2:35:42]
>> Correct. That one.
[2:35:49]
» And you know,
[2:35:53]
some of the the residents there have
[2:35:54]
expressed that they don't even want a
[2:35:57]
park strip and what are they going to
[2:35:58]
do? What can they do with the park
[2:36:00]
strip? They're going to be maintaining
[2:36:01]
it. Um some of those things. And so
[2:36:05]
those are real, you know, in any case
[2:36:08]
for any resident on the street, that's a
[2:36:11]
consideration of 3 and 1/2 ft. What do
[2:36:13]
you do with that? I mean, maybe you can
[2:36:15]
put some plantings in it that, you know,
[2:36:17]
some shrubs that you can drip irrigate
[2:36:18]
and they can survive.
[2:36:21]
Does it need to be, you know, stamped
[2:36:24]
concrete that nothing grows in?
[2:36:26]
You haven't done that in the city
[2:36:28]
anywhere. I don't know that know of
[2:36:29]
[clears throat] anyways but those are
[2:36:31]
other questions that that have come up
[2:36:36]
and with that in mind because I said
[2:36:38]
that the development has a an approved
[2:36:42]
construction set so technically
[2:36:45]
for their interests they could go and
[2:36:47]
build what's been approved but he's been
[2:36:49]
good enough to consider the residents
[2:36:51]
and just what's good for the city and is
[2:36:54]
it cohesive and and those things so
[2:36:56]
kudos to to Sean for bringing up this
[2:36:59]
and being able to hear the the voice of
[2:37:01]
a residents and and just bringing up
[2:37:03]
these concerns to make sure that they're
[2:37:04]
not, you know, he could just go go get
[2:37:07]
in there and plow through it and be done
[2:37:09]
and whatever. So,
[2:37:14]
» so I guess we're looking for direction
[2:37:17]
on the width in front of his property,
[2:37:19]
whether we keep it at six feet or 3
[2:37:21]
feet, whether we change the highback
[2:37:24]
curb to a roll back curb or keep it as
[2:37:27]
is, and whether we adjust the sidewalk
[2:37:29]
at all or keep that as is.
[2:37:31]
>> Is that property designed to cap capture
[2:37:34]
any water on it?
[2:37:35]
>> Yes.
[2:37:37]
>> Which property are you? uh the new
[2:37:39]
developed property.
[2:37:40]
>> Yeah.
[2:37:41]
>> So,
[2:37:42]
>> it's it's picking up.
[2:37:43]
>> So, is it dumping into a drain? Is is
[2:37:46]
there an inlet somewhere along Willow
[2:37:49]
that's taking water on or is that just
[2:37:51]
pushing water down the roadway?
[2:37:53]
>> The way it was designed and approved is
[2:37:55]
there's no inlets or or piping
[2:37:58]
>> anywhere in Willow Street and it just
[2:37:59]
runs into that development.
[2:38:00]
>> All those highback curves are going to
[2:38:02]
push water down Willow.
[2:38:04]
>> Yes.
[2:38:04]
>> Okay.
[2:38:06]
I mean from Dury to this development for
[2:38:09]
sure. Beyond that I don't there's
[2:38:11]
nothing there's nothing.
[2:38:12]
>> Yes that's that's that's what I'm
[2:38:13]
concerned about.
[2:38:15]
>> Yeah there are I believe on the three
[2:38:17]
homes that are facing this there is a
[2:38:22]
what do you have Jody Larry? What what
[2:38:24]
is there? There's big sums on my place
[2:38:27]
at Doug Eeks in the ground there that
[2:38:30]
>> when the [clears throat] father-in-law
[2:38:31]
built that the city made it put in two
[2:38:34]
grade.
[2:38:35]
>> So they're like the ground swell. No,
[2:38:37]
they're
[2:38:40]
>> 20 ft
[2:38:40]
>> below grade,
[2:38:45]
» but there it is a swell system and and
[2:38:47]
you know when a development I don't I
[2:38:49]
haven't looked at the background on that
[2:38:51]
but typically when those are put in
[2:38:53]
they're sized for their development
[2:38:56]
only really. I don't know what was done
[2:38:58]
there. I can't say for certain that it
[2:39:00]
wasn't different, but that's the typical
[2:39:03]
standard is
[2:39:05]
you take care of your own water.
[2:39:09]
And Jake, to to speak more about the
[2:39:12]
highback curb going down Willow, when it
[2:39:14]
gets to the northern road here of this
[2:39:17]
development, it is running into the
[2:39:19]
development and it's not, you know,
[2:39:22]
blowing past or whatever. It goes into
[2:39:23]
the development and it's captured there.
[2:39:25]
Okay.
[2:39:26]
Because there is water retention Sean in
[2:39:29]
your
[2:39:30]
>> Yeah, I saw them. I saw inside all the
[2:39:33]
storm drain going in inside. I was just
[2:39:34]
wondering if there was anything outside
[2:39:36]
and no just sheet flow into the
[2:39:38]
development basically. So they're taking
[2:39:40]
on Willow Street water and holding it.
[2:39:43]
>> That area is so unique because the
[2:39:46]
residents on the east side, all of those
[2:39:48]
homes are below the roadway, which is al
[2:39:50]
which is a major no. Um uh you know, but
[2:39:55]
obviously those are some of the oldest
[2:39:57]
homes in in Grantsville. Um but that's
[2:40:02]
usually a major no. You don't want
[2:40:04]
anything below the you want everything
[2:40:05]
above the roadway. So you don't have
[2:40:07]
water, you know, if we have a major rain
[2:40:09]
event. And so I I we had that sidewalk
[2:40:12]
that was built on that side of the
[2:40:14]
roadway. And I think there was an effort
[2:40:16]
there from the city to raise that
[2:40:18]
substantially to try to create a curb on
[2:40:22]
that side of the road. So, so to speak.
[2:40:25]
Um,
[2:40:28]
» I guess I would ask I mean is there a
[2:40:31]
cost difference between the two? And
[2:40:34]
that's maybe more of a question for
[2:40:35]
Sean.
[2:40:36]
>> Can I give you a couple my thoughts
[2:40:38]
considerations? So, this is why I'm
[2:40:40]
saying pause. If you look at what we
[2:40:43]
have here,
[2:40:44]
so this is what I have to do. Let me
[2:40:46]
flare this road out. And it's going to
[2:40:47]
go right here. So this road's going to
[2:40:49]
stay here. So if you drop down one more
[2:40:56]
» if it helps.
[2:40:58]
>> I can plug in and just drive on a CAD
[2:41:00]
map.
[2:41:01]
>> So th this right here needs to be
[2:41:02]
considered. Are you really going to
[2:41:05]
design this road so that those front
[2:41:07]
yards are 15 ft? And this needs to be
[2:41:10]
the time of consideration. I understand
[2:41:12]
the road's narrow, but all you're
[2:41:14]
creating with the 66 foot rideway that
[2:41:16]
we have all through town is, hey, we'd
[2:41:19]
like you to park on the side of the
[2:41:20]
roads and we'll still drive down the
[2:41:22]
narrow. And that's what needs to be
[2:41:24]
planned out. And that's what we need to
[2:41:25]
plan out better whole city non-stop. We
[2:41:28]
just keep looking at little sections and
[2:41:30]
doing that and that's it. Instead of
[2:41:32]
like go going, hey, let's look at the
[2:41:34]
whole zone here. What's the best for the
[2:41:37]
citizens that have been here forever?
[2:41:40]
And that's that's what I ask here,
[2:41:41]
right? Because I could just put it in,
[2:41:43]
but I I'm just
[2:41:45]
tired of not planning it out, not doing
[2:41:48]
it right, not looking out for what
[2:41:50]
should be. So that's my two cents.
[2:41:53]
Costwise, it's going to be the same.
[2:41:55]
You're going to you're going to shuffle
[2:41:56]
it. I've already curved cro cost by not
[2:41:59]
doing it while we were there. Once
[2:42:01]
again, I just want it to be right. And
[2:42:04]
so narrowing that road, dragging my
[2:42:06]
roads out further, planning for the
[2:42:09]
future, that could be 20 years from now
[2:42:12]
based off your budget, but it should
[2:42:14]
still be planned now.
[2:42:18]
» Okay.
[2:42:20]
Can I point something out that just
[2:42:22]
>> from the aerial Let me point up on this.
[2:42:27]
>> Just because rooftops show up in Oh, you
[2:42:29]
can see this home right there on the
[2:42:32]
north side of you can kind of see how
[2:42:34]
the wall is is tipped like this. You can
[2:42:36]
see the windows and stuff. So, the roof
[2:42:38]
is kind of in the image is slanted this
[2:42:40]
way.
[2:42:42]
It doesn't happen everywhere because
[2:42:44]
they're stitching images together, but
[2:42:47]
it does right here in this area. But for
[2:42:49]
the most part, most of these homes are
[2:42:50]
set back at that 25 ft from the rightway
[2:42:54]
boundary.
[2:42:59]
I mean, I I walked this road with Sean
[2:43:02]
um went and looked at everything and
[2:43:04]
measured. I mean, if you do the full
[2:43:07]
width that we're making Shawn do on that
[2:43:09]
south end all the way through, neighbors
[2:43:12]
are literally walking out of their house
[2:43:14]
and there's the curb and gutter and then
[2:43:15]
the road on some of these these
[2:43:17]
properties. So, it doesn't make sense to
[2:43:20]
me to have it narrow on one end and then
[2:43:23]
flare out to this giant road on the on
[2:43:26]
the south end. And and then it the
[2:43:28]
elevation with the the sidewalks and
[2:43:30]
what the three houses on that side are
[2:43:32]
going to have to deal with. I think the
[2:43:34]
narrower road so they can blend it in
[2:43:35]
better um would be the better route to
[2:43:38]
go on this
[2:43:42]
blend into their sidewalk. So because
[2:43:43]
it's a it's quite the elevation change
[2:43:47]
jump on that and getting in and out of
[2:43:49]
those driveways are going to be fun.
[2:43:53]
» [clears throat]
[2:43:54]
>> So with that, the the plan that's been
[2:43:58]
we had the developments engineer kind of
[2:44:01]
look at the grades on those driveways
[2:44:03]
and and just give a a better plan to
[2:44:06]
transition. So, if the sidewalk stays
[2:44:08]
where it is per the plan at the
[2:44:10]
elevation, they would have to cut back
[2:44:13]
on some driveways, you know, remove some
[2:44:15]
of their concrete and make a transition
[2:44:18]
back to the back of the sidewalk so that
[2:44:20]
it's not kink like that. You know what I
[2:44:22]
mean? But it does be it goes down and
[2:44:25]
then especially rats and then the
[2:44:29]
eekens.
[2:44:33]
» I
[2:44:35]
remake that.
[2:44:36]
>> Are you sure that it goes back down?
[2:44:38]
>> Yeah.
[2:44:40]
And they put [clears throat] me at rest.
[2:44:43]
It was like 1 point something
[2:44:48]
and then about in the middle of about
[2:44:50]
610.
[2:44:54]
» [clears throat]
[2:44:58]
» Yeah, if you're walking on that sidewalk
[2:45:00]
and miss it, fall into R's yard, that's
[2:45:03]
[laughter] going to break a leg.
[2:45:05]
>> I'm accusing myself of discussing this
[2:45:07]
so because it affects me. So, you guys
[2:45:10]
hash it out and I have faith that you'll
[2:45:12]
make the right decision.
[2:45:14]
>> I honestly I feel like I'm not super
[2:45:16]
familiar with it. I feel like maybe I
[2:45:17]
need to go look at it. I drive a little
[2:45:18]
a lot, but I don't pay attention. But I feel like what we're saying is we
[2:45:22]
don't want to take poo driveways by
[2:45:24]
doing
[2:45:24]
>> police.
[2:45:25]
>> Well, the question is is
[2:45:28]
>> do we address a width issue now or do we
[2:45:30]
address it later really? Right. And how
[2:45:33]
we address it.
[2:45:34]
>> And we're trying to basically uniform
[2:45:36]
the road because we've got a small
[2:45:37]
portion here trying to mix it with a
[2:45:39]
portion that's already there. So we're
[2:45:40]
trying to figure out how to do that.
[2:45:41]
>> So the way it was approved is was at 66,
[2:45:44]
right? So the question is are we
[2:45:46]
>> for the for the town homes development
[2:45:48]
south is the 33 foot half width but then
[2:45:51]
they also have this portion that goes
[2:45:53]
from their development south to Dery
[2:45:56]
Street that narrows down to the 30 foot
[2:45:58]
half width
[2:46:01]
and that's how it's
[2:46:03]
>> in the resolution and on the plan and
[2:46:06]
>> so then on the town homes you want
[2:46:08]
>> 36 to 30 we're going
[2:46:09]
>> yes
[2:46:10]
>> question is
[2:46:10]
>> so do you want to move the park strip to
[2:46:12]
from 6T to 3 ft. Three and a half ft to
[2:46:15]
make it consistent across the road width
[2:46:20]
on that portion. [clears throat]
[2:46:29]
I think we shorten it
[2:46:33]
the parks.
[2:46:35]
>> Yeah. I I mean the old way to be honest
[2:46:38]
like I don't know. We do have some
[2:46:40]
residents in here. I kind of defer to
[2:46:44]
the park strip question. Probably would
[2:46:45]
be more of what seems like shortening
[2:46:48]
would solve
[2:46:51]
>> would be better.
[2:46:53]
>> Well, the only place that it would
[2:46:54]
shorten would be in the town homes
[2:46:56]
frontage.
[2:46:57]
>> It's already shortened in everywhere
[2:46:59]
else.
[2:47:00]
>> In front.
[2:47:00]
>> Yeah. It would already be the three and
[2:47:03]
a half ft everywhere else. So
[2:47:06]
the question of shortening the park
[2:47:08]
strip doesn't affect any existing
[2:47:10]
residents. It's
[2:47:12]
>> the town home development frontage.
[2:47:13]
>> How's it going to align with what?
[2:47:15]
>> Yeah. You know,
[2:47:15]
>> and then to be clear and that whether we
[2:47:18]
want to change the curve to the roll
[2:47:20]
back curve, which again that increases
[2:47:22]
the city's risk and that's why we're
[2:47:23]
here to council because any risk that we
[2:47:25]
increase council has to make that
[2:47:27]
decision. And again they have the sumps,
[2:47:30]
the different things to collect the
[2:47:31]
water in those areas. Do we want to do
[2:47:33]
the roll back curb for those in front of
[2:47:35]
their houses because that way they can
[2:47:38]
get in and out a lot easier for them as
[2:47:41]
opposed to the highback curb.
[2:47:43]
>> Do we need the park strip though at all?
[2:47:45]
Like what's the what's
[2:47:46]
>> the park your your mailboxes and your
[2:47:50]
meters?
[2:47:52]
>> You're going to you can imagine you got
[2:47:54]
to get up from from pavement grade to
[2:47:56]
sidewalk grade.
[2:47:59]
And are you just going to drive over a
[2:48:01]
6-in curb every time you get in? So, you
[2:48:04]
need the park strip distance to ramp up
[2:48:07]
to get to the sidewalk elevation.
[2:48:11]
In any case, so we looked at that as
[2:48:14]
well. Can we just put it the sidewalk
[2:48:17]
over against the curbon gutter, but then
[2:48:18]
you got to bounce it back so you have
[2:48:20]
that ramping distance through the park
[2:48:22]
strip to get up to sidewalk level and where you can keep your water in
[2:48:27]
your roadway because otherwise water
[2:48:30]
comes down Willow Street and it goes
[2:48:32]
into private property. Now, that's the
[2:48:33]
liability that we're talking about. Um,
[2:48:36]
so we need the sidewalk to stay high or
[2:48:39]
the curb to stay high to keep the water
[2:48:42]
from the street in the street.
[2:48:44]
So, the park strip offers that ramping,
[2:48:48]
makes it traversible to get in the
[2:48:49]
driveway. If you do a mountable curb, a modified, you're still going to have
[2:48:53]
this 4in bump instead of a 6-in bump. I
[2:48:57]
would argue that the ramp is a better
[2:49:00]
driveway than the mountable curve. And
[2:49:05]
>> I mean, people can go and drive this.
[2:49:06]
>> Maybe I'm I'm taking looking at it
[2:49:08]
wrong. So, do we need the 60 foot? Do we
[2:49:11]
need that road to be 60 foot when the
[2:49:13]
north end's 45 in some places, 53 in
[2:49:17]
some? Like why can't we just be
[2:49:20]
consistent the whole way and make and
[2:49:22]
then reclassify this not as a as a
[2:49:24]
arterial road because
[2:49:26]
>> so sorry I don't mean to cut you off but
[2:49:29]
I just wanted to it is 60 feet
[2:49:31]
everywhere.
[2:49:32]
>> It's not at the north end. It's like 45.
[2:49:35]
>> No, it's 60.
[2:49:39]
I mean, I can plug in my my computer and
[2:49:41]
we can look at at maps. And I mean, if
[2:49:44]
>> you're talking about two different
[2:49:45]
things, you're talking right away.
[2:49:46]
>> Yeah.
[2:49:46]
>> And you're talking what's physical
[2:49:48]
there. You guys need to look at what's
[2:49:49]
physically there.
[2:49:50]
>> Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Physical
[2:49:52]
road. It should be
[2:49:52]
>> talking about right away.
[2:49:54]
>> Yeah. I'm saying the physical road
[2:49:55]
should be consistent from north to
[2:49:57]
south.
[2:49:58]
>> Yeah. I mean, if we did change the
[2:50:00]
rideway and the physical road, then
[2:50:02]
obviously we would adjust the road width
[2:50:04]
at that mouth when we redid that portion
[2:50:07]
of the road.
[2:50:07]
>> Yeah. and widen it to our current ride
[2:50:10]
of weight. But so right now, you're
[2:50:11]
right, it is very narrow right there.
[2:50:14]
But if we did redo the road there with
[2:50:16]
in our right
[2:50:17]
>> talk about on the north end or Yes. on
[2:50:19]
the north.
[2:50:19]
>> I know. But I'm saying it's that's never
[2:50:21]
going to happen. And if it does, it's
[2:50:22]
going to be a long ways away. I just
[2:50:25]
think that road just 45 feet or whatever
[2:50:28]
it is now just consistent the whole way.
[2:50:31]
>> You're going to widen it. And you're
[2:50:32]
we're talking about the kids from the twin the the town homes or whatever.
[2:50:37]
All that is is asking for higher speeds,
[2:50:40]
faster cars.
[2:50:43]
>> Please feel free to try.
[2:50:47]
>> So
[2:50:48]
>> if you do, then you have to go take
[2:50:50]
these people on the north ends, their
[2:50:51]
front yards. And like I said, you
[2:50:53]
literally walk out and you're on the
[2:50:55]
sidewalk.
[2:50:55]
>> I think that's misleading because that's
[2:50:57]
not true. We wouldn't widen the ride
[2:50:59]
ofway anywhere. We would build to the
[2:51:01]
rightway.
[2:51:02]
>> We would build to the rightway and their
[2:51:03]
front yards would be
[2:51:04]
>> a right to build to. That's why it's
[2:51:07]
called a rideway. I the the the question
[2:51:10]
in my mind is I mean there are probably
[2:51:13]
some areas on that northern portion
[2:51:16]
where people have things out past that
[2:51:20]
are in the right way. I would I would
[2:51:22]
assume and that's why it probably
[2:51:24]
>> feels tighter than it actually is.
[2:51:27]
So, I I've done some some survey
[2:51:29]
research. You can see my CAD on the
[2:51:33]
screen, but I've pulled in surveys from,
[2:51:36]
you know, other other things that show
[2:51:38]
here's the rideway. Um, this development
[2:51:42]
itself. I don't know why it's glitching,
[2:51:43]
but
[2:51:45]
anyway, it and then this Legacy Lane
[2:51:48]
project that's here,
[2:51:50]
it's 60 ft from Willow, I mean from Dery
[2:51:55]
to Maine. That's the existing rideway
[2:51:57]
width, 60 feet. The only place where it
[2:52:00]
would be different would be at the town
[2:52:01]
home's frontage where it would widen by
[2:52:03]
three feet. We would get 63 feet.
[2:52:07]
And the road lanes wouldn't change at
[2:52:09]
all. The park strip is the only thing
[2:52:11]
that would be different in that area.
[2:52:12]
Otherwise, it's the same from Dery to
[2:52:16]
Maine. And it's 60 ft wide right away
[2:52:19]
existing.
[2:52:20]
We wouldn't be taking anybody's
[2:52:21]
property. We wouldn't be doing anything.
[2:52:23]
And we would just be building within our
[2:52:25]
existing rightway.
[2:52:27]
>> I get that. But I'm talking about the existing road. We're going to go
[2:52:31]
from 45 ft that it currently is on the
[2:52:33]
north end and we're going to widen it
[2:52:34]
out to 60 or 66, whatever we decide.
[2:52:37]
>> Where did you get 45 ft?
[2:52:39]
>> That's what the asphalt is right now.
[2:52:41]
I'm not saying the rightway. That's
[2:52:42]
what's currently asphalt on 45
[2:52:46]
feet more than what our standard is.
[2:52:49]
curb to curb the main streets where
[2:52:54]
» up here
[2:52:55]
>> because the willow apartments they jog
[2:52:57]
in make it a little smaller.
[2:52:59]
>> It's hard to see where it is and I don't
[2:53:01]
have a survey on it but but I think
[2:53:03]
that's maybe a misleading um dimension.
[2:53:09]
I get that maybe there's some curbs here
[2:53:11]
and I don't know what they are to be
[2:53:13]
honest. Our
[2:53:15]
curb to curb, what our standard would be
[2:53:17]
and what we would build here is 38 ft of
[2:53:21]
asphalt plus curb and gutter
[2:53:24]
all the way through.
[2:53:26]
And that wouldn't change whether it gets
[2:53:28]
to the town homes or not. It would be 38
[2:53:30]
ft the whole way. The only thing that
[2:53:32]
would be different is the park strip. We
[2:53:34]
would just fit this three-lane collector
[2:53:36]
road which is on our transportation
[2:53:38]
master plan. And it may not be 20 years.
[2:53:41]
I think I don't know when it was, but it
[2:53:45]
it's on that list of improvement
[2:53:47]
projects. I don't remember where it was,
[2:53:49]
what years, but anyway, it's in there.
[2:53:52]
>> Yeah, but Willow's a there's a lot of
[2:53:55]
traffic that goes up Willow. So, I mean,
[2:53:57]
it it's got South Willow above it, you
[2:54:00]
know, and they get there from other
[2:54:01]
areas like some come down Dery and
[2:54:04]
>> Yep. No, but
[2:54:06]
>> so we can call it what we want, but it's
[2:54:08]
really what are people using it for
[2:54:10]
unless we
[2:54:11]
>> Right.
[2:54:12]
>> I don't know what we would do to have
[2:54:14]
people, you know, put in a a median
[2:54:16]
barrier and dirty or something so it
[2:54:18]
wouldn't be a collector road. It
[2:54:20]
wouldn't get used except for local
[2:54:21]
residents. I mean, those are things that
[2:54:23]
can be done, but that's not what our
[2:54:25]
planning suggests or recommends. And
[2:54:30]
I mean, not not that we can't change,
[2:54:32]
right? that this this drawing and what
[2:54:36]
was presented as far as the drawing goes
[2:54:37]
is just to demonstrate what the
[2:54:39]
futuristic whether it's 20 years away or
[2:54:42]
10 or 15 or whatever it is. This is what
[2:54:45]
could fit in the current rideway
[2:54:49]
and it would match the transportation
[2:54:51]
master plan that we have that you guys
[2:54:53]
saw yesterday
[2:54:57]
with a lane in each direction and a
[2:54:59]
center turn lane.
[2:55:04]
But you're right, Derek. You could give
[2:55:05]
up that right away and keep the road and
[2:55:07]
narrow it down to what it looks right
[2:55:08]
now. But that would be a council choice
[2:55:10]
that they do that to that road.
[2:55:13]
>> That's what I'm saying. That's narrow
[2:55:14]
down the road. That's my that be my
[2:55:17]
recommendation.
[2:55:19]
>> I think staff's recommendation is to
[2:55:21]
keep the the right way as is.
[2:55:24]
>> If as long as you're pardon,
[2:55:26]
>> sorry, go ahead. No, as long as you're
[2:55:28]
aware that if you narrow it now, you
[2:55:31]
can't fit a lane in each direction with
[2:55:32]
the center turn lane. You're only going
[2:55:33]
to have a lane in each direction.
[2:55:34]
>> Then we're going to have to find another
[2:55:35]
alternative collector.
[2:55:37]
>> Yeah. And I think that's throughout the
[2:55:39]
wheel. Find find a different north
[2:55:40]
south.
[2:55:41]
>> That's another cost to add to where what
[2:55:43]
that would be. And then the build cost
[2:55:44]
of doing that.
[2:55:46]
>> I see. I Yeah, I don't I don't agree
[2:55:49]
with that. I think it needs to have an
[2:55:52]
opportunity for eternally. So, and we
[2:55:54]
already have that issue on Dery. So,
[2:55:59]
you know, Dery should follow the same. I
[2:56:01]
mean, the you have somebody that's
[2:56:03]
trying to make a left turn there.
[2:56:05]
Everybody's in line
[2:56:07]
>> that's wanting to turn right but can't
[2:56:08]
turn right. So, and vice versa. So,
[2:56:12]
>> at this intersection under
[2:56:14]
>> Yes.
[2:56:14]
>> Okay.
[2:56:15]
>> So, you would have it
[2:56:16]
>> turning on to Main Street. I'm saying so
[2:56:19]
>> from Will to Main.
[2:56:20]
>> Yeah. So, my my my
[2:56:23]
recommendation would be
[2:56:26]
the same as staffs is to ensure that it
[2:56:28]
stays
[2:56:30]
that way.
[2:56:31]
>> Would you want the the three feet extra
[2:56:34]
during the
[2:56:36]
um
[2:56:37]
town homes or would you like that to go
[2:56:40]
be the 60 ft all the way down?
[2:56:50]
understand that if you change it, that
[2:56:53]
may have an implication to the platting
[2:56:56]
and other stuff, you know, unless you
[2:56:58]
keep the ride away and just say built
[2:57:00]
the sidewalk straight through
[2:57:04]
because the plat's prepared. It's not
[2:57:05]
recorded. Doesn't need to come back for
[2:57:08]
approvals if you change the plat. Um
[2:57:13]
those are implications to the
[2:57:14]
development that
[2:57:16]
you know just timing
[2:57:19]
if you're going to consider his timing
[2:57:21]
and and you know in good faith keep him
[2:57:24]
>> whole and maybe the rideway stays where
[2:57:27]
it is but the sidewalk goes straight
[2:57:28]
through. I don't know.
[2:57:30]
>> I just wanted to clarify um because I
[2:57:32]
I'm sitting in the back trying to follow
[2:57:34]
along and maybe I misunderstood. Was was
[2:57:36]
there a recommendation that we take
[2:57:38]
existing city rightway and
[2:57:42]
deed it to adjacent property owners in
[2:57:44]
the name of narrowing a street down? Was
[2:57:46]
that what the suggestion was? Because
[2:57:49]
that's what I'm trying to wrap my mind
[2:57:52]
around. We're trying to get right away
[2:57:54]
everywhere else in town and on this road
[2:57:56]
maybe the suggestion was let's narrow it
[2:57:59]
down. Was that
[2:58:01]
>> Yeah. Keep keep a little straight. I'm
[2:58:04]
not saying take the rideway away. Keep
[2:58:06]
the rideway where it's at, but keep the
[2:58:07]
road narrow from north to south.
[2:58:10]
>> Oh, okay. I just didn't understand.
[2:58:15]
>> I I think you need to No, that was not
[2:58:17]
my suggestion.
[2:58:18]
>> That was mine.
[2:58:19]
>> So, one one more detail that would be
[2:58:21]
beneficial is if we understood
[2:58:24]
>> what the front the leftover front yard
[2:58:26]
would be.
[2:58:27]
>> So, based off your 66 foot rideway, how
[2:58:30]
much front yard would those people have
[2:58:32]
left? So I don't think the intention is
[2:58:34]
take any of their front yards.
[2:58:36]
>> But it will.
[2:58:37]
>> You would though.
[2:58:38]
>> Why?
[2:58:40]
>> 20 years. We're going to widen this road
[2:58:42]
and we going to
[2:58:43]
>> But we wouldn't take any of their
[2:58:44]
property.
[2:58:44]
>> You'd have to
[2:58:47]
No, you wouldn't technically. You got to
[2:58:48]
remember Barry's talking in a box that
[2:58:50]
he has to.
[2:58:51]
>> Right.
[2:58:51]
>> You guys are seeing what's happened. So
[2:58:53]
in his box, you're not going to take any
[2:58:55]
of their property because right now they
[2:58:56]
only have 15 foot front yards. This is 25 ft from this pink line to the
[2:59:02]
back of the proposed
[2:59:03]
>> future. You're going to reduce their
[2:59:04]
front yards.
[2:59:06]
>> No,
[2:59:06]
>> what they've been using as their front
[2:59:07]
yards.
[2:59:09]
>> I don't think in a lot of places that's
[2:59:11]
very true. I mean, certainly in some
[2:59:13]
cases, but you look at like this line
[2:59:15]
right here that's blue is the rideway
[2:59:17]
line and which would be the future back
[2:59:19]
of walk. This house right here, yeah,
[2:59:21]
they have a driveway. The grass comes
[2:59:22]
out to here. Um, these people's driveway
[2:59:25]
comes roughly to the to the rideway
[2:59:29]
boundary. Um, this one goes out to to
[2:59:32]
meet the pavement, but their fence is a
[2:59:35]
little bit extended. This fence is a
[2:59:36]
little extra.
[2:59:41]
That house most likely only has a two
[2:59:43]
foot overhang.
[2:59:44]
>> Which house?
[2:59:45]
>> The one that you were just
[2:59:46]
>> This one?
[2:59:47]
>> No, down.
[2:59:48]
>> Down here.
[2:59:48]
>> No, back up.
[2:59:49]
>> Oh, pardon.
[2:59:50]
>> Barely. It's right there. that hip proof
[2:59:52]
one
[2:59:52]
>> right here.
[2:59:53]
>> Yeah.
[2:59:54]
>> So, yeah, and that's why I wanted to
[2:59:55]
point out that you can see right here at
[2:59:57]
this location is the grass where the
[2:59:58]
grass meets the house. So, there's this
[3:00:00]
much distance that's misleading from the
[3:00:03]
roof that's similar to this distance
[3:00:05]
>> oblique angle of the image.
[3:00:07]
>> The oblique angle of the image. So, this
[3:00:10]
line right or this image out here on
[3:00:12]
this roof isn't the same vertically to
[3:00:16]
where the footing is.
[3:00:17]
>> You got to measure the driveway. Well,
[3:00:19]
if we have a little more time and you
[3:00:21]
guys don't make a decision tonight,
[3:00:24]
staff could go shoot this and give you
[3:00:25]
that exact measure.
[3:00:26]
>> Hey, seeing it from here is great. I've
[3:00:28]
walked out there and physically stood in
[3:00:30]
the yard and we marked where that where
[3:00:32]
it would be where the back of curb and
[3:00:34]
gutter would be. You're Yes, it's not
[3:00:36]
their yard, it's the rideway. But
[3:00:38]
literally, they would walk into their
[3:00:40]
front yard, then the ride rightway would
[3:00:41]
be there, and they'd be walking right on
[3:00:43]
out to the smell. Would it benefit if I
[3:00:45]
staked out where the rideway boundary is
[3:00:48]
at the fence lines on several places
[3:00:50]
along here?
[3:00:50]
>> I think that would be great
[3:00:52]
>> cuz I think you'll see that we're not
[3:00:53]
taking people's front yards.
[3:00:55]
>> Well, and and and the thing and the and the issue the issue is is it's a
[3:01:00]
rideway like
[3:01:02]
>> when I say we don't design roadways
[3:01:05]
based on
[3:01:07]
>> on
[3:01:08]
>> encroachments
[3:01:09]
>> encroachment. So, um,
[3:01:12]
>> you know, I understand it and I
[3:01:14]
understand the need to marry them
[3:01:16]
together and to marry him good.
[3:01:17]
[clears throat]
[3:01:18]
>> Um, but yeah, I Yeah, I think we'd like to probably
[3:01:23]
see that. I know Sean's probably needing
[3:01:27]
some decisions to to pour a driveway
[3:01:29]
forward.
[3:01:30]
>> If we have a decision in two weeks, I'm
[3:01:32]
good.
[3:01:33]
>> I just want this done right. You know,
[3:01:34]
we talk about not taking people's front
[3:01:36]
yard. How much your front yard have we
[3:01:38]
taken in your perspective?
[3:01:39]
>> Two feet.
[3:01:40]
>> Two and a half. Almost three feet.
[3:01:42]
>> They think that's theirs. The rideway is
[3:01:44]
back there. Barry showed them where they
[3:01:46]
signed and gave [clears throat] that
[3:01:47]
away.
[3:01:47]
>> Originally it was.
[3:01:48]
>> Our world of us that understand this is
[3:01:51]
different than everyone else's world.
[3:01:53]
And we've got to start looking at that
[3:01:55]
and we've got to start helping them
[3:01:57]
understand what's about to happen. If if
[3:02:00]
everyone on Willow Street knew what was
[3:02:02]
about to happen, this room would be
[3:02:03]
purple
[3:02:05]
and they would not be pleased.
[3:02:08]
It would look like that's the reason why
[3:02:10]
we did what we did with Matthews Lane
[3:02:12]
where the that Matthews Lane would have
[3:02:14]
been right in front of the Hall's old
[3:02:16]
house and the the trailer up the street
[3:02:18]
from it. We would have been right in
[3:02:19]
their front yard.
[3:02:20]
>> Yeah. I mean, I
[3:02:20]
>> but we we jut it in just for that
[3:02:22]
reason. But what's going to happen here?
[3:02:25]
>> I get that. But when you have your
[3:02:27]
property lot surveyed and and you build
[3:02:30]
past those things, I I understand the
[3:02:32]
reason why you do. Um, but we have to
[3:02:36]
keep that into consideration, too.
[3:02:38]
>> That was changed after our lawn was in
[3:02:40]
though,
[3:02:41]
>> was it?
[3:02:41]
>> The original property line was where we
[3:02:43]
have our lawn and then when my dad cut
[3:02:44]
his subdivision or culde-sac that went
[3:02:46]
back in there, unbeknownst to us, it got
[3:02:48]
pulled back by about two and a half feet
[3:02:50]
and so that's where it's at. So what
[3:02:51]
would that just if you're okay if I ask
[3:02:54]
>> your property and what's
[3:02:55]
>> what would that affect in the front two
[3:02:57]
feet of your of your property? Can I
[3:03:00]
just you're okay if I ask what likeass
[3:03:03]
grass I've got sprinklers I mean that'
[3:03:05]
all have to be done that'd be a cost to
[3:03:07]
sean an additional cost and if you just
[3:03:09]
pulled that out two feet nobody would be
[3:03:11]
affected
[3:03:12]
>> and the elevation's going to be
[3:03:14]
>> close [clears throat] and I can speak
[3:03:16]
for Doug
[3:03:17]
>> we're both against park strip we don't
[3:03:19]
want park strip we keep talking about
[3:03:21]
the flood control the overflow well give
[3:03:26]
us 27 inches like you got along works
[3:03:31]
» on on again right against the you're
[3:03:34]
saying put it just back slightly off the
[3:03:36]
curb.
[3:03:37]
>> I mean it's already one of the most
[3:03:38]
narrow streets in town.
[3:03:40]
>> Yeah.
[3:03:40]
>> You know, you can't if somebody's parked
[3:03:42]
on the side of the road down on the
[3:03:43]
north end. You can't you have to stop
[3:03:45]
and let somebody come by,
[3:03:46]
>> right?
[3:03:47]
>> You know, and all we're doing is choking
[3:03:49]
them back down. We got this big bubble
[3:03:52]
for the town homes and then we choke it
[3:03:54]
back down again by putting a 5ft park
[3:03:56]
strip.
[3:03:59]
[clears throat] I mean we're when we
[3:04:00]
talk about the water flow we're talking
[3:04:02]
[laughter]
[3:04:04]
100 foot in rats and 100 foot in Doug by
[3:04:08]
the time it gets to me where we got the
[3:04:10]
two big sump drains which we haven't
[3:04:12]
even looked at or considered. So, I
[3:04:16]
mean, we're talking 200 ft of rain,
[3:04:19]
>> you know, that we got in October,
[3:04:22]
>> didn't even come close to us.
[3:04:26]
>> And that's a point. That's a good point.
[3:04:28]
I think in the future, these roads will eventually connect with curb and
[3:04:31]
gutter and and there's the potential
[3:04:34]
that a lot of
[3:04:37]
wherever
[3:04:38]
Dury Street has a high point that that
[3:04:41]
comes back to here can be channeled and
[3:04:44]
sent down Willow Street. if we don't put
[3:04:45]
in storm drain, which which is, you
[3:04:48]
know,
[3:04:49]
likely that we put in storm drain and so
[3:04:51]
that it wouldn't come around the corner.
[3:04:52]
But, um,
[3:04:55]
in any case, um, beyond the drainage, I
[3:04:58]
mean, we we do want to keep the drainage
[3:04:59]
of the city's property in the city's
[3:05:02]
property as much as possible, right? To eliminate the potential for for
[3:05:07]
hazard litigation, whatever that may may
[3:05:11]
come up. It's just the practice. And
[3:05:14]
then um yeah, the park strip distance
[3:05:18]
offers some traversible driveway to to
[3:05:21]
get from pavement up to a place where
[3:05:24]
the drainage can be contained within the
[3:05:26]
rightway.
[3:05:28]
So, I don't I don't know if this is any of this makes sense
[3:05:34]
um because of what what's on the screen,
[3:05:37]
but from what I see, everybody's yard or
[3:05:42]
for the most part, everybody's home is
[3:05:43]
25 ft away from the
[3:05:46]
current rideway in
[3:05:48]
>> right would be the back of curb.
[3:05:50]
>> Yes. Back of sidewalk.
[3:05:52]
>> Back of sidewalk.
[3:05:53]
>> Yeah.
[3:05:55]
I mean, if if you look on here, this
[3:05:57]
fence comes out a little bit, but there
[3:05:58]
might be some skew in the image on the fence. Um, a lot of these
[3:06:04]
driveways are are coming out and built
[3:06:08]
very close to
[3:06:11]
I mean, this extends a little bit
[3:06:13]
further.
[3:06:15]
This fence line is is basically right on
[3:06:17]
the line.
[3:06:20]
Um, yeah. A a lot of is it a park
[3:06:24]
required?
[3:06:25]
>> Now, Barry, would it be appropriate to
[3:06:27]
say that that sidewalk on the east side,
[3:06:30]
does it line up with the existing
[3:06:31]
sidewalk or you're pushing that sidewalk
[3:06:33]
further east, right?
[3:06:35]
>> Yeah. So, it's in the correct like
[3:06:38]
ultimately correct space here at this
[3:06:42]
>> but but then it does let me uh
[3:06:45]
>> do this. makes this little jog right
[3:06:47]
here
[3:06:50]
away from the fence line or the the
[3:06:51]
rideway boundary and then it more or
[3:06:53]
less follows that same alignment. So,
[3:06:55]
it's not in the ultimate correct or
[3:06:58]
planned
[3:07:00]
position where it would be right at the
[3:07:02]
back of the ride ofway.
[3:07:03]
>> So, your 66T rightway is affecting
[3:07:06]
everyone on the road.
[3:07:09]
>> Correct.
[3:07:10]
>> I don't know what you mean by that. See
[3:07:11]
that?
[3:07:11]
>> Yeah. The sidewalk will push.
[3:07:13]
>> Yes.
[3:07:14]
>> It would have to get rebuilt. Yeah.
[3:07:16]
>> But do they understand that? See what
[3:07:18]
I'm saying? It's that whole side, you're
[3:07:20]
going to go rip up all their front yards
[3:07:22]
because it's your right away. This side,
[3:07:24]
the same thing. You're affecting
[3:07:25]
everyone on that entire road.
[3:07:28]
And I don't think everyone understands
[3:07:30]
that.
[3:07:31]
>> Well, we're not doing this tomorrow. And
[3:07:34]
there's certainly some public, you know,
[3:07:35]
we do these kind of projects. There's
[3:07:37]
some public outreach and and information
[3:07:42]
sharing and and those kinds of things.
[3:07:44]
um public involvement that would take
[3:07:47]
place obviously, but
[3:07:49]
>> my suggestion to other members, I don't
[3:07:51]
know if anyone has done it. I might have
[3:07:53]
been the only one, but go walk Willow
[3:07:55]
Street and see where those marks markers
[3:07:57]
are. I'm sure Sean like you did me'd be
[3:08:00]
happy to walk your he do it because I
[3:08:03]
was major that existing sidewalk that's
[3:08:06]
wrong and so they're going to move. It
[3:08:08]
looks like they're going to move about
[3:08:09]
three or four feet where you and I were.
[3:08:11]
But once Barry does it, then you'll know
[3:08:13]
exactly what your evidence.
[3:08:14]
>> Yeah.
[3:08:17]
» I think to be able to make a decision, I
[3:08:19]
need to see that and have some
[3:08:21]
conversations regarding with some of the
[3:08:24]
residents there.
[3:08:25]
>> Okay.
[3:08:26]
>> I know we're talking a time that needs
[3:08:29]
time frame that needs to probably move
[3:08:31]
pretty quickly. I think we can
[3:08:32]
accommodate that
[3:08:34]
>> realistically if I can start in the road
[3:08:36]
after school is out. That's what we
[3:08:38]
agreed to at precon. So obviously
[3:08:41]
there's some paperwork that needs to be
[3:08:42]
done there. As long as all that can be
[3:08:43]
done, we can get into the road come when
[3:08:46]
we get out of school Memorial Day June
[3:08:49]
first.
[3:08:51]
That's totally reasonable. And we can
[3:08:53]
put this on the next council meeting and
[3:08:55]
try to get it addressed if council wants
[3:08:58]
to come look or whatever, like what
[3:08:59]
questions exactly are you wanting so we
[3:09:01]
can prep that, send it to you off
[3:09:05]
in an email to kind of give you an idea
[3:09:07]
of what's going on with this, what
[3:09:08]
answer those questions.
[3:09:10]
>> I think the biggest thing is how is this
[3:09:11]
affecting the citizens? How much are we
[3:09:13]
taking of lots? How much are we taking
[3:09:14]
of things that are already there? Now, I
[3:09:16]
know I know what we're saying. We
[3:09:18]
already we own the rideway, but how much
[3:09:19]
are we going to be disrupting them
[3:09:21]
affecting them,
[3:09:22]
>> right?
[3:09:23]
>> And and for us, I mean, and the two and
[3:09:26]
a half feet or whatever is not as big a
[3:09:27]
deal as the the elevation. I mean, I
[3:09:29]
just don't know. I just can't physically
[3:09:31]
wrap my head around how we're going to
[3:09:32]
get in the driveway without having to
[3:09:34]
have the same situation as on the east
[3:09:35]
side where those people have to go in
[3:09:37]
there, overcross the sidewalk, and drop
[3:09:39]
back down into their driveway. It's a
[3:09:40]
mess.
[3:09:41]
>> Yeah. So, that's like
[3:09:43]
>> I think that's the biggest thing that
[3:09:44]
seeing it in person and walking it is
[3:09:47]
what that shows you.
[3:09:48]
>> I don't know if these kind of numbers
[3:09:50]
would make any sense, but this is this
[3:09:52]
is the Ericson's driveway right here on
[3:09:55]
the screen.
[3:09:56]
>> So, can I just ask while we look at
[3:09:58]
this, does the modified does this fix
[3:10:00]
that?
[3:10:02]
>> Not really. The difference is 2 in.
[3:10:06]
>> Okay.
[3:10:08]
>> Lessens the incline. Just it's still an
[3:10:11]
incline. So this is
[3:10:12]
>> you can't drop the elevation of the you
[3:10:14]
can't drop the elevation from the road
[3:10:16]
down to the
[3:10:17]
>> So this is not a solution.
[3:10:21]
>> You could use that that curb and gutter,
[3:10:23]
but it what it does is if your road is
[3:10:26]
kind of fixed because you're trying to
[3:10:27]
match into existing and come at a at a
[3:10:29]
draining grade, then you're going to
[3:10:31]
step up either 6 in well actually 4 in
[3:10:34]
or or 2 in. It it's it doesn't change a
[3:10:38]
lot as far as elevation. Um, unless the
[3:10:42]
only benefit that you you could get out
[3:10:44]
of this is if you lowered the sidewalk
[3:10:46]
behind the curb and gutter, but then
[3:10:47]
when you have driveways,
[3:10:50]
then the water from the road will run
[3:10:52]
into their yard and then unless you
[3:10:54]
contain it. So maybe the this modified
[3:10:58]
curbon gutter where there isn't a place
[3:11:01]
where it, you know, dips into a a
[3:11:03]
driveway
[3:11:05]
kind of contains the the drainage, but
[3:11:06]
there's a limit to it. It doesn't offer
[3:11:08]
the same drainage capacity as the
[3:11:10]
highback does. And you're and you're
[3:11:12]
only getting a little bit of elevation,
[3:11:15]
you know, as far as where the sidewalk
[3:11:16]
goes, where the driveways tie in. It's 2 in. And this plan has already
[3:11:23]
made a little bit of a modification to
[3:11:25]
the to the position, vertical position
[3:11:27]
of the sidewalk at the driveways. And
[3:11:29]
you can see here, this is the plan
[3:11:31]
elevation with a 9.18 at the end. And
[3:11:33]
then it comes back here to a 9.25
[3:11:35]
slightly above that. But that's come
[3:11:37]
coming back to match into their existing
[3:11:39]
driveway. So the driveway would be cut
[3:11:42]
for this portion and then it would be
[3:11:45]
sloped from the back of the sidewalk up
[3:11:49]
until this point and it would match in.
[3:11:51]
And similarly to
[3:11:54]
um the EANS who are the neighbor a
[3:11:57]
little bit further south. Oops, not the
[3:11:59]
right sheet. Bear with me.
[3:12:02]
Um, this one is so Ericson's are over
[3:12:06]
here. Then you got this Chester Hollow
[3:12:08]
Road and then the Eekans driveway is
[3:12:10]
this one. Again, elevations at the back
[3:12:13]
of sidewalk 1129 and 1136, 1128 and
[3:12:18]
1120. So, they are they would have to
[3:12:21]
come back in here and cut out their
[3:12:22]
driveway and repour that to make it all
[3:12:24]
blend in and match. Um, and same thing
[3:12:28]
happens here.
[3:12:30]
And that's with this highback curb and
[3:12:32]
gutter traditional standard stuff. Um,
[3:12:37]
so that's already kind of planned to be
[3:12:39]
done
[3:12:41]
as far as the construction drawings,
[3:12:45]
but that could be changed to a modified
[3:12:47]
curb and then, you know, maybe this
[3:12:50]
driveway gets cut back slightly less.
[3:12:53]
You know, I don't know how much, but
[3:13:00]
And just for the record, like I'm not uh
[3:13:05]
>> So, can I ask you if I was just to pay
[3:13:08]
for the concrete if I have to cut half
[3:13:10]
my driveway out?
[3:13:12]
>> That would if I don't misunderstand the
[3:13:15]
rules, if you have a private property
[3:13:18]
and and some project comes along, they
[3:13:20]
need to make you whole again. And so, it
[3:13:22]
would be on the developments.
[3:13:23]
>> What's that distance? Because that's the
[3:13:25]
way I understand it, too. There's a
[3:13:27]
distance that I have to correct you to.
[3:13:29]
>> Yeah,
[3:13:30]
>> it's not half your driveway. It's
[3:13:33]
>> 10 feet or whatever.
[3:13:36]
Tell me
[3:13:38]
18 in high. Red's got the big jump. So,
[3:13:42]
>> he's going to have to be cut way back.
[3:13:46]
>> But my driveway is up way higher.
[3:13:49]
>> So, this is Rhett's His
[3:13:52]
feet.
[3:13:53]
>> Grass is going to be dramatic. Beacons
[3:13:55]
was the a pretty good one.
[3:13:58]
>> Yeah, this is the biggest one.
[3:13:59]
>> Right.
[3:14:02]
>> Yeah, that one's probably the biggest
[3:14:04]
one. Where's the scale on this thing?
[3:14:07]
>> And they're they're in their mind. Well,
[3:14:09]
they kind of knew they were past, but I
[3:14:10]
think they're four, six feet, four seat.
[3:14:13]
How far past the line were their yard
[3:14:16]
goes way out there. Maybe four plus
[3:14:17]
feet.
[3:14:18]
>> And they knew that.
[3:14:21]
>> So that was like almost 17 feet. So Sean
[3:14:24]
in your mind so I understand the all the
[3:14:27]
issues and I think visually you can look
[3:14:30]
across the street but
[3:14:33]
like it just never thought that sidewalk
[3:14:36]
was common sense but what's the
[3:14:40]
solution? What's in your in my mind the
[3:14:43]
right thing to do is narrow that. It's
[3:14:45]
it it's not a collector. I understand
[3:14:47]
that's probably what they think. It's
[3:14:48]
not it's Willis Street. It's been Willis
[3:14:50]
Street for how many years? It's narrow.
[3:14:53]
The wider you go, the faster people go.
[3:14:55]
We're trying to slow people down. Let's
[3:14:57]
narrow it down. So what if you have to
[3:14:59]
pause when two cars go past and a car's
[3:15:02]
parked? It slows down. It's 25 miles an
[3:15:04]
hour. But but that's my opinion. Narrow
[3:15:08]
it. Give the right proper curbing
[3:15:10]
gutter. Give them strip. Put the
[3:15:12]
sidewalk. But that gets the sidewalk
[3:15:14]
clear out of them. It affects them the
[3:15:17]
impact is less on both sides of the
[3:15:20]
road. So, one of the things I thought of
[3:15:22]
is I do feel with the school up the
[3:15:24]
road, the kids, it'd be nice for them to
[3:15:27]
walk up a sidewalk to the school.
[3:15:30]
>> So, across the road and use the one
[3:15:32]
there.
[3:15:32]
>> So, I ask [snorts] staff if inside the town homes I could do that modified
[3:15:38]
curb so that I could put the sidewalk
[3:15:40]
next to it so when they park on those
[3:15:42]
driveways that are smaller, there was
[3:15:44]
more room and they said no because of
[3:15:47]
safety and and I agreed with them. We
[3:15:48]
left it with that. So I think what's
[3:15:51]
Barry's saying to have that section of
[3:15:54]
curb the right curve with the right mo
[3:15:56]
strip with the right sidewalk is
[3:15:58]
important. So how do we meet the middle
[3:16:00]
on all this right? We go down n willow
[3:16:04]
straighten that thing out narrow it and
[3:16:07]
call it for what it is. It's not a
[3:16:08]
collector. You're going to be frustrated
[3:16:10]
when it's a 66 foot right away and you
[3:16:13]
got more cars on there trying to
[3:16:15]
jam-pack. It's going to be as busy as
[3:16:16]
you build it. Okay? So you're never
[3:16:18]
going to satisfy it.
[3:16:21]
>> Visually, it's impossible to imagine a
[3:16:23]
turn lane there. Even
[3:16:25]
>> you just visually [clears throat] and
[3:16:27]
even if we do it now, even if we stick
[3:16:28]
with this, that end of the road is going
[3:16:31]
to stay that wide for the next 20 years
[3:16:34]
in you guys' budget tonight and the
[3:16:35]
money you're spending on different
[3:16:36]
things. Where are you going to come up
[3:16:38]
with money and priorities that widen
[3:16:40]
Willow Street? Without a developer
[3:16:42]
paying for it, you'll never do it.
[3:16:48]
would look like Cork with that turn
[3:16:49]
lane and that's dangerous right there.
[3:16:51]
So you just have another cork street
[3:16:52]
because there's not a through street.
[3:16:54]
You'd have three-way and you'd have
[3:16:56]
every car in the world trying to go off
[3:16:57]
boiler like they are quirk and it would
[3:16:59]
just be another danger. Those hot spots
[3:17:01]
again like we saw yesterday of the roads
[3:17:05]
that would turn into just a nightmare.
[3:17:08]
People are going to use the roads that
[3:17:09]
you build. So that won't be a collector.
[3:17:10]
They'll go another route. Just so I
[3:17:13]
understand though, you're saying now the
[3:17:15]
rope and but you are saying keep the
[3:17:17]
sidewalk there.
[3:17:19]
>> I personally think the right thing to do
[3:17:21]
is keep the sidewalk even though we have
[3:17:23]
one on the other side. It's just you're
[3:17:25]
talking about trails in other
[3:17:26]
subdivisions. The sidewalk's a natural
[3:17:28]
trail. It's a na natural connects
[3:17:31]
everything connectivity. So having the
[3:17:33]
sidewalk on both sides with the proper
[3:17:36]
mo strip
[3:17:38]
for putting snow and safety and all
[3:17:40]
those things, that's the right way to do
[3:17:42]
it. So the only solution that gives us
[3:17:44]
is cut the asphalt down, right? And
[3:17:47]
don't make it as wide as the rest of the
[3:17:49]
roads. Make it as wide as the previous
[3:17:51]
roads we put in Grantsville before we
[3:17:53]
decided we had to have 66 foot rideways.
[3:17:56]
Remember, we've gone through all phases.
[3:17:58]
And that's my frustration.
[3:18:01]
I've been through every phase, every
[3:18:03]
council change, every different one
[3:18:05]
ever. And it's like time that we can
[3:18:07]
pick something and stay with it.
[3:18:19]
So,
[3:18:20]
>> where are we here then? [laughter]
[3:18:22]
>> I would just just throw out another
[3:18:25]
consideration.
[3:18:26]
>> Okay,
[3:18:27]
>> we already all know that Willow Street's
[3:18:29]
pavement is not wide, but does that
[3:18:31]
deter travelers from using it?
[3:18:36]
Unless it's backed up and congested,
[3:18:40]
That's kind of their path of least
[3:18:41]
resistance. People that live on the
[3:18:43]
road, they know my used to live on the
[3:18:46]
road. My parents still live on that
[3:18:47]
road. And people are using it to connect
[3:18:50]
to other streets, right? It's it's
[3:18:51]
that's what the definition of a
[3:18:53]
collector is. So, if we're going to
[3:18:56]
narrow it,
[3:18:58]
>> and you're about to put town homes there
[3:19:00]
that people will be wanting to turn
[3:19:01]
into. And if there's no turn
[3:19:03]
>> 96 97 town homes times 10 trips per day
[3:19:07]
or eight or whatever for a town home
[3:19:09]
that's a lot of cars every day
[3:19:11]
>> coming in on the street on Cherry Street
[3:19:13]
that connected to Cherry and the other
[3:19:15]
one and so you know eventually you're
[3:19:18]
going to have that connected
[3:19:20]
>> do wide and cherry street on that end
[3:19:23]
>> if it's got 60 feet then we can fit
[3:19:25]
three lanes.
[3:19:27]
[clears throat]
[3:19:28]
>> They'll go through Cherry and use cork
[3:19:30]
like they should. So,
[3:19:32]
>> well, cherry's a mess, too.
[3:19:34]
>> It is.
[3:19:36]
>> So, I guess my thought is unless you put
[3:19:39]
some sort of physical barrier that keep
[3:19:42]
from South Willow continuing on down
[3:19:44]
Willow Street, it's going to be a
[3:19:46]
collector whether you put it 32 feet of
[3:19:48]
asphalt or 38, it's going to be used the
[3:19:51]
same unless there's a physical barrier
[3:19:54]
that makes people turn and go a
[3:19:55]
different route. I think people are
[3:19:57]
already turning now because I mean I
[3:19:59]
live there and I know because it's a
[3:20:01]
nightmare to get to make a left-hand
[3:20:02]
turn at the end of Will Street on the
[3:20:04]
main street. So I think people from
[3:20:05]
South Will are going down Derpy Street
[3:20:06]
going around to get onto the light or
[3:20:08]
whatever they need to do to get not
[3:20:10]
having to come down will street because
[3:20:12]
I mean there's traffic but not everybody
[3:20:13]
coming from South Will is going all the
[3:20:15]
way down Will Street.
[3:20:17]
>> Oh that's true.
[3:20:18]
>> Wider roads aren't always answer. That's
[3:20:20]
why you don't see seven 10 lane free
[3:20:23]
highways.
[3:20:24]
doesn't help with [clears throat]
[3:20:25]
traffic jams or anything. So, just
[3:20:28]
because it's wider doesn't mean it's
[3:20:29]
going to be any less congested than what
[3:20:31]
it's already at.
[3:20:33]
>> Yeah. But narrowing it doesn't make any safer in my opinion. Like I it
[3:20:39]
actually compounds the safety issue in
[3:20:42]
my opinion. So,
[3:20:44]
>> I don't know. I've been on that road a
[3:20:46]
lot the last little bit looking at it
[3:20:48]
and meeting with with these guys and
[3:20:50]
Sean and uh traffic it's a lot slower on
[3:20:53]
that street than it is Cork Street where
[3:20:55]
I live.
[3:21:03]
Um, would
[3:21:05]
somebody offered I don't know if it was
[3:21:07]
Sean or Barry to go stake it out so that
[3:21:10]
if you haven't seen it, you could. Is
[3:21:12]
that something we would still like to
[3:21:14]
have done?
[3:21:16]
>> And which areas would you like that
[3:21:20]
>> just all the way along every 500t or 300
[3:21:23]
feet or what? Tell me. Yeah, I think I
[3:21:26]
think if we were to get some points on
[3:21:28]
the north side, both on the north side
[3:21:30]
and then against the three residents on
[3:21:32]
the south side, we can visually see the
[3:21:34]
rest of it probably. I mean, we could do
[3:21:36]
every 500 if you wanted to or
[3:21:38]
everywhere.
[3:21:39]
>> I'll just kind of do it something that
[3:21:42]
it looks like it's
[3:21:44]
>> further out than it should be, then that
[3:21:46]
would that would help visualize it.
[3:21:48]
>> And I can gladly help Barry. I think
[3:21:50]
Barry needs to do it. But I can carry
[3:21:52]
the stakes and the paint and whatnot to
[3:21:54]
help you do it because the more marks we
[3:21:56]
have, the better off we are. But it
[3:21:58]
needs to come from Barry.
[3:22:00]
>> Yeah.
[3:22:01]
>> And as long as you all are happy that I
[3:22:04]
spend time doing that, that's great. I
[3:22:06]
can [laughter]
[3:22:08]
>> I'm sure you have plenty of free time.
[3:22:09]
Barry,
[3:22:12]
that was pretty sarcastic comment.
[3:22:14]
[laughter] So,
[3:22:16]
um I visually yeah I I think I think
[3:22:19]
it's important we make the right
[3:22:20]
decision there and I do think there's
[3:22:22]
probably a balance between them. Um
[3:22:26]
>> so so having all the information is
[3:22:28]
going to help. So may I ask so I can
[3:22:31]
stake where our existing rideaway is the
[3:22:35]
boundary of what we own
[3:22:37]
and we could pull tapes over or I can do
[3:22:41]
that plus maybe paint some stuff on the
[3:22:43]
ground that says this is the anticipated
[3:22:46]
future curb and gutter location. What information beyond staking the
[3:22:51]
boundary of the rideway is useful?
[3:22:55]
>> What what would you guys like to see?
[3:22:57]
Let's just paint the same colors. I've
[3:23:00]
got all those colors. Seriously,
[3:23:03]
put the 25 foot set back out there in
[3:23:06]
purple and put a blue line. What you got
[3:23:08]
there?
[3:23:09]
>> Well, it gets like that's that's fine,
[3:23:12]
but colors mean things in blue staking.
[3:23:15]
And I don't I don't want somebody
[3:23:17]
>> about that. I I wanted to say that uh I
[3:23:19]
think Derek was right on in his comment
[3:23:21]
about wide streets and narrow streets
[3:23:24]
and how traffic patterns work. Um, one
[3:23:28]
of the things that's kind of of a best
[3:23:31]
practice thing that's coming up lately
[3:23:33]
is rather than put a yellow stripe or a
[3:23:35]
center turn lane down the middle of the
[3:23:36]
road, you bring in the white lines and
[3:23:39]
remove the yellow stripe down the middle
[3:23:40]
and that has a a natural traffic calming
[3:23:43]
effect because everyone thinks, "Oh,
[3:23:44]
this road's a little more skinny, so I
[3:23:47]
have to slow down a little bit." The
[3:23:48]
pavement width is the same. It's just a mind trick that makes you think, "Oh,
[3:23:52]
this road is narrow." This road is
[3:23:54]
already narrow. The pavement width is
[3:23:55]
narrow and you have to kind of you you
[3:23:58]
your brain thinks I got to slow down
[3:24:00]
because this road is a little bit
[3:24:02]
dangerous or scary. You don't want to
[3:24:04]
say that it's dangerous, right, Tyson?
[3:24:06]
It's it's not dangerous. It's totally
[3:24:09]
safe. It's perfectly safe in every way,
[3:24:11]
but um no, we all know that it feels
[3:24:15]
different to drive down a skinny little
[3:24:17]
road as opposed to a sevenlane freeway.
[3:24:20]
Um, and and I think that's what could be
[3:24:23]
instructive is if you went out and did
[3:24:25]
some dots at at lane widths and then you
[3:24:29]
can get an idea, not not big long
[3:24:33]
stretches, but just
[3:24:35]
yeah, something that would that would
[3:24:37]
kind of give you an idea what the width
[3:24:39]
would be like
[3:24:41]
>> on the on the ground and then you could
[3:24:42]
look at it and go, "Oh, this is way
[3:24:44]
different than I expected." Because I
[3:24:46]
think that's what we're locked into is
[3:24:48]
how it feels on the road right now. It
[3:24:50]
feels like a a a skinny country road.
[3:24:54]
What Barry's trying to say is it's not.
[3:24:56]
It's actually a 60 foot rideway, which
[3:24:58]
is as big as we we require
[3:25:01]
most places in town. Um
[3:25:05]
>> the pavement is the same.
[3:25:06]
>> The pavement is going to be the same
[3:25:08]
local road.
[3:25:09]
>> Well, we all we do is is make the um
[3:25:12]
park strips just a little bit more
[3:25:13]
skinny on this kind of cross-section.
[3:25:16]
It's it's the same road that you're
[3:25:17]
getting anywhere in town. it it feels
[3:25:19]
different. The trees are different. The
[3:25:21]
fences are are in weird places. And
[3:25:23]
that's why I think it would be
[3:25:24]
instructive to go out and stake it out
[3:25:26]
and then maybe indicate where those
[3:25:29]
travel lanes might be. That would be my
[3:25:32]
suggestion.
[3:25:38]
» Any other feedback we want to give Barry
[3:25:40]
or Sean?
[3:25:48]
Isn't the curb already poured in front?
[3:25:49]
No, it's not. [gasps]
[3:25:52]
Not
[3:25:52]
>> yet.
[3:25:53]
>> It's I'm winging out.
[3:25:54]
>> It's winged.
[3:25:55]
>> Yeah, but nothing out
[3:25:56]
>> in there in the road. Nothing north to
[3:25:58]
south.
[3:26:03]
» Obviously, we don't want to waste a ton
[3:26:05]
of Barry's time and we don't want to
[3:26:07]
waste a lot of Sean's time and this has
[3:26:09]
been going on for several months.
[3:26:12]
How could we make this less
[3:26:16]
>> time consuming for you to mark this out?
[3:26:19]
Is it easier if the council is just
[3:26:22]
there? Obviously, we can all be there at
[3:26:24]
the same time, but couple at a time as
[3:26:27]
and just demonstrate this so that it can
[3:26:29]
be seen or what is easiest for you,
[3:26:33]
Barry? I think I [clears throat] could
[3:26:34]
go out and and say I mark the boundaries
[3:26:38]
of the rideway at intervals so you can
[3:26:40]
kind of still see from one to the other
[3:26:43]
and then maybe mark a center line,
[3:26:45]
center of the road, center of the
[3:26:46]
rideway because sometimes the pavement
[3:26:48]
is not in the center
[3:26:50]
>> at the center
[3:26:51]
>> and then and then people can go and see
[3:26:54]
that and then if there's questions or
[3:26:56]
you want to discuss it more then I can
[3:26:58]
meet you out there bring the instrument
[3:27:00]
and we can say well here's the this
[3:27:02]
here's where this will be and we can
[3:27:03]
find it on the ground as we go. Well,
[3:27:05]
what about over here? We can find it on
[3:27:06]
the ground with the instrument. Um if if
[3:27:11]
that
[3:27:13]
I don't that's a recommendation.
[3:27:15]
>> Okay.
[3:27:16]
>> Everyone okay with that?
[3:27:18]
>> Yes.
[3:27:19]
>> Okay. But I I think in the end, you
[3:27:23]
know, we just because it's a planned
[3:27:26]
unit development,
[3:27:28]
we need your guys' decisions to to move
[3:27:31]
forward with something, right? So,
[3:27:37]
» okay, thank you everybody for your
[3:27:39]
patience. Hopefully, we're going to get
[3:27:40]
to the best solution.
[3:27:44]
Um,
[3:27:46]
our next item, uh, item number 12 is a
[3:27:48]
discussion of a utility assistance
[3:27:50]
program and council member Dalton has
[3:27:53]
recommended that we perhaps move this to
[3:27:56]
the next council meeting based on the
[3:27:57]
times. Does anyone have an issue with
[3:27:59]
that?
[3:28:01]
Is anyone's brain still even functioning
[3:28:03]
at this point?
[3:28:05]
[laughter]
[3:28:06]
>> I think we're going to be a little more
[3:28:07]
attentive next time. So, we're going to
[3:28:09]
do that if that's
[3:28:10]
>> I'm just worried about your taxes only.
[3:28:11]
>> Yeah. [laughter]
[3:28:14]
We're not getting
[3:28:14]
>> no Troy's back and we're on it. It's all
