[0:00] Of our local building authority.
[0:02] So we'll proceed.
[0:04] Oh I I see a flag inbound.
[0:07] As we speak.
[0:10] We can do normal procedure it looks like.
[0:12] There it comes.
[0:51] Thank you for the.
[0:58] I think that's.
[0:59] Left side of the.
[1:03] Always turn this way.
[1:21] Post colors.
[2:06] I hope it all stay up there, yeah.
[2:10] We don't pledge allegiance to that one anyway.
[2:15] All right.
[2:30] Video some repair work on that one.
[2:46] OK.
[2:49] We'll call the meeting of the City Council to order. As always, let's rise and we'll.
[2:54] The Pledge of Allegiance.
[3:00] I pledge allegiance to the flag.
[3:02] Of the United States of America.
[3:04] And to the Republic for which it stands.
[3:08] One nation under God.
[3:10] Indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
[3:16] OK, welcome to.
[3:20] City Hall West.
[3:22] Or Holiday in Mill Creek. That sounds like a Marilyn Monroe movie title.
[3:28] And let's proceed with.
[3:31] Item number three, public comment.
[3:34] If you wish to address the Council, we invite you to do so. Just come up to the podium, state your name and address.
[3:40] Please keep your comments to 3 minutes if you can, or less.
[3:44] Oh no, no, this is a regular City Council meeting.
[3:46] And then we'll.
[3:47] I think.
[3:51] We are doing LBA first.
[3:53] I thought we'd just do like through #4 and then go to LBA.
[3:58] But.
[4:00] LBA OK.
[4:01] OK, so let's do LBA then.
[4:03] Which is also public comment.
[4:06] OK, so the the LBA is our local building authority.
[4:10] And the LBA, just like our RDA board, consists of the City Council.
[4:16] The LBA boards.
[4:18] Mandate is to manage the.
[4:22] The building authority for the project.
[4:24] That's going on.
[4:26] Other City Hall.
[4:29] But for this meeting as well, we have public comment.
[4:32] You can make them now.
[4:34] Or when we this meeting should be pretty quick if you'd rather have your public comment and be part of regular City Council
[4:37] meeting.
[4:40] Meeting that'll be probably in about.
[4:42] 4 minutes.
[4:43] So that said.
[4:46] For the local building authority meeting.
[4:48] Public comment is open.
[4:53] Are there any who wish to address the local building authority?
[4:57] Seeing none, we'll close public comment.
[4:59] And move to item number 3.
[5:01] Of the LBA agenda.
[5:03] Public hearing.
[5:05] On the fiscal year 202526 budget amendments.
[5:10] So we'll open the public hearing.
[5:13] On the budget.
[5:14] Amendments. Uh.
[5:16] Are there any here to address?
[5:18] Of the Council with regard to.
[5:21] Budget amendments for the local building authority.
[5:25] Shocking.
[5:28] OK, seeing none, we'll close the public hearing on the LBA budget amendments.
[5:34] And move to item number 4 resolution.
[5:38] Adopting the budget amendments.
[5:40] Is there any discussion?
[5:41] Or, umm.
[5:42] Christian, did you need to address that?
[5:48] Good evening, Mayor and Council. This is a very straightforward amendment. It is just recognizing the fact that.
[5:54] The 2025.
[5:55] LBA budget, we issued 2025 bonds for the project and this is just us recognizing the transfer in.
[6:02] From the general fund and then also the expense of the debt service for interest for that 2025 bond.
[6:07] The 2026 debt service payment will be roughly.
[6:10] Double this, maybe a little more, but this is just for a portion of the year that is.
[6:14] That we had the bond.
[6:16] For 2026.
[6:19] Any questions?
[6:21] Thank you.
[6:22] Thank you.
[6:24] Any comments or questions? Otherwise, I'm happy to take a motion.
[6:34] Mr. Mayor, motion that we approve.
[6:37] Can you pull that up?
[6:38] Stephanie, so we can get the number on that?
[6:46] LBA Resolution.
[6:48] 202601.
[6:51] 2nd.
[6:52] OK, we have a motion and a second.
[6:56] Let's go to roll combo with the.
[6:59] Member.
[7:00] Of course, one of our direct director right, our trustee.
[7:04] OK.
[7:06] Trustee Sewell.
[7:08] Yes.
[7:09] And Trustee.
[7:10] Yes.
[7:11] And.
[7:12] Trustee Bradley.
[7:14] Yes.
[7:15] Trustee Quinn? Yes. Trustee Gray.
[7:17] Yes.
[7:17] And share votes yes.
[7:19] Thank you.
[7:21] All right, item number 5.
[7:23] Regarding the minutes of the LBA for September 8th and October 2nd and November 6th.
[7:28] Happy to take a motion.
[7:30] Mayor, I approve.
[7:32] I move for the approval of the minutes.
[7:35] Of September 18th, October 2nd and November 6th.
[7:38] 2025.
[7:40] 2nd I have a motion to a second.
[7:43] All those in favor.
[7:44] Aye.
[7:45] Any opposed?
[7:47] Thank you very much. The minutes are approved.
[7:49] And I'll need a motion to adjourn and.
[7:52] And then also to reconvene in a City Council meeting.
[7:56] So.
[8:00] Second. OK, all in favor.
[8:02] Aye, any opposed?
[8:04] Like you were adjourned and reconvened in a City Council meeting.
[8:07] And now what you've been waiting for, I think perhaps.
[8:11] We'll go to item number 3, which is public comment.
[8:14] Please.
[8:16] If you wish to make.
[8:18] Comment to the Council. Please come to the podium with your name and address and.
[8:21] Let us know what's on your mind.
[8:26] Oh yes, Trudy is here from the library please.
[8:29] That was how it's done.
[8:31] I'm Trudy from the library.
[8:33] I just wanted to let you know, the tax season's over. Yay. And we had, we made just short of 900 appointments for people to have
[8:38] help with their taxes at the library. So that was awesome. Wow.
[8:45] Tomorrow.
[8:46] We will have an.
[8:48] In conjunction with America 250 celebrations, we're going to be doing oral history, so we'll have our sound studio set up.
[8:55] People can come in with their own memory device, like a thumb drive.
[8:59] And we'll have staff there and available to help them record their own oral history if they would like to. And if tomorrow doesn't
[9:03] work for people then?
[9:07] Just make an appointment with a librarian and we'll be happy to help.
[9:11] On the 29th of April, we're going to have an all abilities activity at 10:30 in the morning.
[9:15] There will be crafts.
[9:17] And bingo for adults and teens with intellectual disabilities.
[9:21] Um and then on May 1st.
[9:25] At 10:15 there's going to be a Dia de Los Ninos Y libros.
[9:29] Face painting treats.
[9:31] Lots of fun.
[9:33] And then on Monday, May 4th.
[9:36] From 3:00 to 5:00 will be Maker Monday and you can come in and make your own monster bookmark.
[9:41] In our space.
[9:43] And that's what's going on at the library right now. Do you have any questions?
[9:46] That's for me. Thank you so much.
[9:48] Thank you.
[9:52] Public comment remains open.
[9:54] For any wish to address the Council.
[10:01] Good evening.
[10:02] Hi, Tom Sharlow.
[10:04] 3930 S. 3030 E.
[10:08] We spoke with you I think a couple of months ago.
[10:11] About the.
[10:12] Difficulty we had with the previous season's fireworks that were exploding all over our.
[10:19] Cul-de-sac with the high winds that we're experiencing.
[10:23] It was a.
[10:25] It was not a fun night.
[10:28] I realized at the time, and we've been told since there's things that we could have done to possibly prevent it, like.
[10:33] Stand there with a sprinkler.
[10:36] Pointed.
[10:37] At the fireworks.
[10:39] But we just want to make it very clear that.
[10:42] These fireworks that have been legal.
[10:45] I guess five years or so now.
[10:47] Or just have no place in our neighborhoods.
[10:50] They create circumstances where one neighbor fears for their house and the other neighbor.
[10:57] Thinks it's a great thing.
[10:59] As we mentioned before, we had.
[11:03] Hundreds of thousands of sparks that you could hear landing on our.
[11:08] On our roof.
[11:09] Against our windows.
[11:11] We had high winds that night which made.
[11:14] Way more inappropriate than it already was.
[11:18] We just want to.
[11:19] Continue to.
[11:21] State our feelings about this.
[11:24] Frankly, I think if the.
[11:27] If the people that made those fireworks.
[11:29] Weren't maybe involved in.
[11:34] Trying to.
[11:36] Have more?
[11:38] Business with.
[11:39] With our neighbors.
[11:41] You know, you see these.
[11:43] Huge tents set up.
[11:45] For the whole month of July, if not more.
[11:48] Selling these.
[11:49] So what I will say about fireworks. One more thing though is that.
[11:53] The fireworks that we did have before these.
[11:56] Nearly professional level.
[11:58] Fireworks, uh.
[11:59] Were put upon us.
[12:01] By our legislature, I believe.
[12:04] The fireworks that we had before that were.
[12:08] Were fairly benign.
[12:10] The little kids they.
[12:11] They enjoy lighting them off and they would go up maybe 6 to 10 feet.
[12:16] And that's it.
[12:16] The ones that we see now.
[12:18] Are fully in the sky.
[12:23] And they're just very inappropriate in neighbors.
[12:26] In neighborhoods especially.
[12:28] With the drought we're experiencing.
[12:30] With.
[12:34] The fire that took place.
[12:36] Around July 4th.
[12:38] In Mill Creek.
[12:40] Which was?
[12:41] Tragic for so many people.
[12:46] Anyway, thank you very much.
[12:48] We appreciate what you do.
[12:49] Thank you.
[12:55] OK, public comment remains open. Anyone else?
[12:59] OK. Thank you. We'll close public comment.
[13:03] And proceed to item number 4.
[13:06] Regarding the parking agreement adjacent Spring Lane.
[13:10] Did we have a?
[13:11] Any staff report or any other comments or?
[13:16] We don't have a staff report.
[13:18] Or if you have questions though, we'd be happy to answer them.
[13:23] And I know that we've had discussions about this is the the parking agreement.
[13:27] Between the LDS church.
[13:30] Adjacent to Spring Lane.
[13:34] And our opportunity to.
[13:36] To continue that.
[13:38] Agreement that the Granite School District had.
[13:42] With that church building.
[13:44] That agreement is now being extended to the city.
[13:47] As the city has now acquired that property, of course, for the development of.
[13:52] There was an issue that.
[13:55] I presume was resolved adequately with regard to it was a liability or a.
[14:00] Indemnification that there was.
[14:02] Over overstepped a bit and.
[14:04] But we've got that resolved, apparently.
[14:07] OK.
[14:09] I don't have any further questions. Anyone else have any questions or concerns?
[14:12] OK. Otherwise I'm happy to take a motion.
[14:17] Stephanie, can we go back?
[14:19] Get that number.
[14:20] Mr. Mayor.
[14:23] OK, Mr. Mayor, motion that we approve resolution.
[14:26] 2026-10.
[14:31] 2nd.
[14:32] OK. Is that adequate?
[14:33] Just with the number. OK, very good.
[14:35] OK, Thanks very much, Councilmember Gray.
[14:38] Yes, Councilmember Quinn.
[14:40] Yes. Councilmember Bradley, Yes, Councilmember Durham, yes. And Councillor Sunbol, Yes.
[14:45] And share votes. Yes. Thank you.
[14:47] OK, let's proceed to City Manager report. Thanks.
[14:57] It's a much longer walk to get over here than it is in our regular building.
[15:03] Good evening, Mayor and Council.
[15:05] I have.
[15:08] Actually, mainly good news to share tonight.
[15:12] 1st, I want to alert all of you to a conversation that several staff.
[15:19] And I had.
[15:20] This afternoon with representatives from.
[15:24] Udot.
[15:26] Who told us that we are. We have been prioritized.
[15:31] Our trail project along 215 from 23rd East.
[15:36] To Highland Dr. has been prioritized as part of the Utah Trail Network.
[15:42] For the next.
[15:44] State fiscal year, so for fiscal year 2627.
[15:49] That will be submitted as a recommendation from the staff level to the Transportation Commission.
[15:56] And we're looking for approval of that funding recommendation by the end of June.
[16:02] If that recommendation is successful, design could start as early as.
[16:08] This summer.
[16:09] On that section of trail.
[16:12] The funding that is would support that project is a little different. You may recall that we applied unsuccessfully for funding.
[16:22] For that same stretch through WFRC.
[16:25] That section would have that opportunity would have required a match.
[16:31] On the cities part.
[16:33] This funding source would require no match.
[16:37] There are some project expenses that they may consider a betterment that we may.
[16:42] Wish to provide ourselves but that will all be sorted out in the design process.
[16:48] Since that's one of our trail priorities, that seems like.
[16:52] Really good news, and we'll keep you posted on that process as it works its way through the Transportation Commission.
[16:59] And then as we.
[17:01] Hopefully can get started.
[17:03] Later this summer.
[17:04] And you said from Highland Drive to 2300, we're doing that section first, OK, Yep.
[17:08] That's the section that they have prioritized.
[17:12] Honestly, based on our application to the WFRC.
[17:15] And this is.
[17:17] Does this tie into the?
[17:19] Potential design of.
[17:22] Path bottom of the highland.
[17:24] How I'm thinking of a different?
[17:26] It is a different one. This is a long 215. Eventually would like that to tie to Canuteson Park on the east and Big Cottonwood
[17:30] Trail.
[17:36] And then eventually tie into a trail network that would.
[17:41] Provide access to Wheeler Farm.
[17:44] And also.
[17:46] Cottonwood Heights is proposing a section of trail that would.
[17:49] Across 215.
[17:51] And then go into their community as well.
[17:55] So that is exciting news.
[17:59] Wanted to make the council aware that Holly and Sean Tierlink and I had a.
[18:06] Really good meeting with staff representatives from Senator.
[18:10] Curtis's office a few weeks ago.
[18:13] To lay the groundwork as we apply for additional potential federal funding for Highland Drive.
[18:22] We'll see how that goes.
[18:23] Speaking of.
[18:25] Federal funding.
[18:26] As you probably all know, we are in your mark is.
[18:30] Still being held.
[18:34] And we'll see where that ends up.
[18:38] I am no longer.
[18:40] Optimistic about it as a source of funding for our project.
[18:45] But we'll see.
[18:47] Last night we had what I would characterize as a really successful open house for the Spring Lane project.
[18:56] We had a great turn out, I would say in excess of.
[19:00] 40 ish people.
[19:02] Lots of.
[19:03] Passionate ideas.
[19:08] Divergent positions, but lots of really great energy from the crowd.
[19:13] And you'll have an opportunity to talk about.
[19:17] The feedback that they provided and then some further direction next week.
[19:24] There's a couple of leftover items from the Legislature.
[19:29] Having to do with.
[19:30] State holidays.
[19:31] One thing that.
[19:32] I had missed in the session is that the legislature did a.
[19:37] Approve the alignment of Juneteenth.
[19:41] With the federal holiday.
[19:43] So.
[19:44] Going forward, it will always be I.
[19:47] June 19th.
[19:50] And our employee manual.
[19:52] Reflects we'll do whatever the state does.
[19:55] So don't know who.
[19:57] Change there.
[19:58] The state also approved an additional holiday.
[20:03] For state employees.
[20:06] For Good Friday.
[20:08] Although, uh.
[20:08] It looks like it will only be 1/2 day holiday. I want to find out a little bit more about what the state is recommending there.
[20:17] And then?
[20:18] Bring that to you as an issue for your consideration whether you want to align our.
[20:24] Our employee handbook with that guidance.
[20:26] Or not. That'll be a decision for you.
[20:31] And then finally, I just wanted to recognize.
[20:34] We're here in this new building.
[20:36] Of a very successful move.
[20:38] And I want to publicly thank everyone who.
[20:42] Help to make that possible.
[20:44] All of our staff really contributed, but I want to highlight a couple of folks, especially we had a.
[20:51] Move team that was led by Joel.
[20:54] Joe Bolton.
[20:55] He really did a heavy lift.
[20:59] Stephanie Carlson coordinated.
[21:02] Utilities Tech.
[21:05] Internet service and appreciate the effort that they did.
[21:10] Lena, John.
[21:12] Christian and Holly.
[21:15] Not forgetting anyone. That's the tube, right? Oh, and me.
[21:20] We were the group that coordinated with that.
[21:24] And on the court side, both Kaylin Olsen and Judge Chen were here on Thursday.
[21:32] Doing a lot of packing and moving as well.
[21:34] So appreciate everyone really coming together to make this happen and we're happy to be here. And.
[21:41] Can't wait to go home.
[21:45] Any questions for me?
[21:48] Well, I just after what you said, I mean, I witnessed a fair amount of this moving and it really was a tremendous project.
[21:55] And with a lot of work and.
[21:59] The fact that you know you're loading up.
[22:01] Truck Friday night at 6:00-ish up there.
[22:04] And to see the state.
[22:06] That we are in now to have our first Council meeting so quickly after the beginning of that move.
[22:11] I mean, it's one week and we're.
[22:13] This is the result of one week.
[22:15] In terms of the move.
[22:17] But yeah, tremendous effort.
[22:18] I thought that Joe and the team.
[22:20] Really.
[22:21] Well, the proof is.
[22:23] That we're here and.
[22:24] Having a council meeting.
[22:26] We're in a great facility and.
[22:27] We got a great deal so.
[22:29] Kudos to you and the staff.
[22:34] OK, let's proceed with council reports. How about down at this end?
[22:37] Remember Greg, this morning I had the opportunity to visit with.
[22:41] The Bonneville Junior High Community Council.
[22:45] As a follow up from their meeting before there's real concern at Bonneville.
[22:50] The community.
[22:53] Tasked with approving the safe walking route and one of the safe walking routes for Bonneville.
[22:58] Says that it's safe for students unsupervised to cross.
[23:02] The intersection of his 5600 S and Van Winkle, which is A5 lane.
[23:07] Road we're.
[23:08] Cars are going.
[23:09] I mean, limited at 50 miles an hour, they're often going.
[23:13] More than that, you have a lot of very young drivers getting into Cottonwood High School.
[23:20] Something that I was made aware of in this meeting is that there are 270 students that attend Bonneville.
[23:27] That live.
[23:28] On the other side of that intersection.
[23:32] So the community council did not approve the safe walking route.
[23:36] Not that that really has.
[23:37] Any long term consequences? But they're really looking at.
[23:40] What we can do to make that?
[23:43] Routes safer for students?
[23:46] And reduce the congestion of driving in the neighborhood if we can make it more safe, because most parents end up just driving
[23:49] their kids.
[23:53] So one of the things that they're requesting from Holiday City is.
[23:57] To work with Murray City and get.
[23:59] Some crossing guards.
[24:02] They're, I mean, they want, they would love an elevated footpath and I thought that was a little too heavy lift.
[24:09] But I think looking at getting crossing guards.
[24:12] Where we split the costs with Murray City.
[24:15] Is something that I think we.
[24:17] Could really look into it. It really is not a safe intersection.
[24:20] For these kids.
[24:22] For all of the reasons that I mentioned, is that something that I would?
[24:25] Love it it's that we we could look into as a city and.
[24:28] And obviously work with Murray City to.
[24:30] What the costs on that?
[24:36] I don't have anything tonight.
[24:38] OK. That's member Bradley.
[24:39] I don't have anything tonight.
[24:41] Councilmember Durham.
[24:42] Just a reminder about our Harvard.
[24:45] Day event on a week from Friday at.
[24:48] Wasatch, Waldorf School.
[24:51] That's all.
[24:53] Council.
[24:54] I don't have anything.
[24:55] OK, I'll have one thing I'll defer to Councilmember Gray if you wanted to chat about.
[25:01] Chief Widdison of the HOA.
[25:04] Oh yes.
[25:06] So Chief Woodson and I had the opportunity to.
[25:09] Speak at the.
[25:12] Canyon Cove, HOA.
[25:15] About.
[25:16] The issues.
[25:18] With Holiday City directly.
[25:20] Relating to that particular neighborhood.
[25:23] And I talked a lot about Gina's excellent work.
[25:27] And ongoing work with UDOT and all other parties and trying to.
[25:33] Come to a more permanent resolution for the care of the park and ride that has.
[25:38] That deteriorated then. They were very grateful.
[25:41] For that.
[25:42] And also for our help in dealing with.
[25:44] A lot of the deaths that they were seeing from the construction site.
[25:48] Blowing directly into their neighborhood, Chief Woodson then also talked about.
[25:52] The WUI map and how that affects their neighborhood is very good at.
[25:56] Addressing their concerns and kind of helping them understand.
[25:59] What? Umm.
[26:01] What it means and what it doesn't mean as far as.
[26:04] For them so.
[26:05] Appreciate his efforts.
[26:07] Appreciate.
[26:09] Captain for setting that up and I think it was a good event.
[26:12] Great. OK. And all my items have already been talked about, so.
[26:17] I have nothing beyond that so.
[26:20] I'll go ahead and take a motion to.
[26:23] Recess and reconvene.
[26:26] So moved.
[26:27] Second, all in favor?
[26:29] Aye.
[26:30] Any opposed?
[26:31] OK, we are in a work meeting.
[26:34] Do you want us to stay in the seats we're in or are we moving seats or?
[26:40] Stay right.
[26:46] OK, very good.
[26:49] All right, first item up.
[26:52] Is it Captain Dan? Are you doing this next part?
[26:54] OK, you're up.
[27:03] All right. Good evening, Mayor and Council, and thanks for having me.
[27:06] For a little UFA 101.
[27:08] So this is the first time I've done this one.
[27:10] So we'll see how it goes and hopefully it's not it's not too boring.
[27:14] So we'll start we.
[27:15] Clear the slides. Period.
[27:16] I guess we'll give it a second.
[27:21] I sent it to you.
[27:24] Oh, there he.
[27:31] OK. We'll start there. So just as the summary, we'll go to that second slide. So unified Fire authority.
[27:37] Where the where the state's largest fire department with almost 700 personnel and we have 26 stations.
[27:42] Ranging all the way from Immigration Canyon.
[27:44] All the way down to Eagle Mountain. Eagle Mountains the the lone city that we serve in in Utah County.
[27:50] The City of Holiday.
[27:51] Is to be a member of UFA.
[27:53] You can either be.
[27:54] A direct member, which the City of Holiday is, along with Riverton, Cottonwood Heights and Harriman.
[27:59] Or you can be a member of the Unified Fire Service Area or UFSA.
[28:03] Which is a taxing entity and we'll kind of go into that a little bit later on.
[28:07] The governance is made-up of a.
[28:09] Of a board of.
[28:10] Of 17, which is our.
[28:12] Our 15 municipalities and then the Salt Lake County.
[28:15] Two members or Mayor Fotheringham serves as the the chair of the board.
[28:19] And then of course you have your station 104 and we'll kind of go over that which.
[28:24] Delivers your.
[28:25] Your response?
[28:26] But then it it also benefits from being.
[28:29] From our regional infrastructure of.
[28:31] Of many specialties that we have from our wildland program to heavy rescue to hazmat and other things that.
[28:37] The benefits of a large organization has.
[28:39] So that's the summary and then we'll go on to the next slide.
[28:53] OK, so this is kind of the.
[28:54] The history of UFA and kind of how we got to where we are from.
[28:58] From the city of holiday being a customer to a co-owner so.
[29:02] Traditionally, they.
[29:04] Most cities got their.
[29:06] Their Fire Protection from Salt Lake County.
[29:08] Fire Department.
[29:09] And then?
[29:10] As cities incorporated, they would contract with the Salt Lake County Fire Department.
[29:13] But.
[29:14] They were kind of a customer with no with no say.
[29:16] So.
[29:17] In 2004.
[29:19] Unified fire authority was.
[29:20] Was introduced.
[29:22] And.
[29:23] That way everybody has a say right now, everybody has someone on the board and everybody has a little bit of a more buying rather
[29:27] than just being a customer with no say.
[29:31] And then in 2019, Interlocal Agreement was refined to clarify member roles and governance.
[29:36] And then Holiday solidified his position as direct member and co-owner with the voting seat on the board of directors concerning
[29:40] direct oversight and strategic control over fire EMS services.
[29:45] So and that was in 219 for that and that's a 50 year in a local agreement.
[29:50] Next slide.
[29:51] So this is just kind of a slide right here that shows.
[29:54] That we have the one seat and that's Mayor Fotheringham at this time. So the primary decision making is is 1, but everybody gets a
[29:57] vote.
[30:02] But for financial?
[30:04] For the tentative budget.
[30:05] The final budget and budget amendments.
[30:07] Now if any 2.
[30:09] Two board members my of different entities so it can't just be the 2 Salt Lake County ones.
[30:14] They can invoke a weighted vote.
[30:16] And the way the weighted vote is is calculated as a as a combination of.
[30:21] The budget and population.
[30:24] I would like to point out that that's never been invoked, so as long as unified Fire authority has been around.
[30:29] It has never been invoked the the weighted vote.
[30:32] The next slide does kind of show where holiday ranks and the weighted voting.
[30:35] So right there you can see.
[30:38] 6.5% of the population and 4.33% of member fees, so they would have a 5.43%.
[30:44] If anybody did invoke the.
[30:50] So right here, so there's among the Unified Fire Authority board.
[30:54] There is 3 board subcommittees of the Finance Committee of the Governance Committee and the Benefits and Comp Committee.
[30:59] So.
[31:00] And I know there's been some changes.
[31:02] But Mayor Fotheringham, you're on the benefits and cop and finance both, correct, right?
[31:05] So there has there has been some changes with the election. So the Finance Committee, the mandate is.
[31:09] You know they conduct granular line by line reviews of the proposed budget.
[31:13] May ensure fiscal transparency and I don't know if anybody has ever seen our budget book, but.
[31:18] It is a phone book and it really, and it literally has.
[31:22] Every dollar.
[31:23] Where everything goes.
[31:25] And where it's spent and we'll kind of go into the budget a little bit more later, a little later on.
[31:29] But Unified Fire Authority and our CFO Tony Health, they've won awards for this budget book and the transparency so.
[31:35] It's a boring read.
[31:36] So if you ever wanted to look at it, that's online or I can get you a physical copy.
[31:40] But it's pretty impressive.
[31:42] The Governance Committee the mandate is to manage the legal and structural framework of the agency.
[31:47] And then of course the benefits and compensation, they they balance fiscal responsibility with the workforce retention.
[31:54] And so those 3 subcommittees.
[31:56] They make the recommendations to the UFA board.
[31:58] And.
[31:59] I don't think it's ever happened Where?
[32:01] As they're made-up of board members, usually their recommendations are.
[32:04] Are usually always ratified because they do all the work and they do all the.
[32:09] All the heavy lifting on those subcommittees before it goes to the UFA board.
[32:16] Here is our organizational structure. You can see at the top we have the board and then the Fire Chief and the chief legal officer
[32:19] answers to the board.
[32:23] I won't read.
[32:24] Go through every single one of these things but.
[32:26] That's organizational structure.
[32:28] For UFA.
[32:32] And so here we'll go into it. So as a.
[32:34] There's two more, like I said. So holiday Cottonwood Heights.
[32:36] Riverton and Harriman are direct members.
[32:39] And everybody else was UFSA member. So these are the major differences. So as a UF I say member, a separate legal entity that's a
[32:44] special service area acting as a as a taxing district, whereas holiday as a contract in any entity maintaining total municipal
[32:48] separation from the taxing district.
[32:53] So.
[32:54] Holiday peas.
[32:55] UFA with a single.
[32:58] A member fee from the general fund where the funding mechanism of ufsa is they levy lever the.
[33:03] Property taxes on residents to fund the operations.
[33:05] And then the other big difference is.
[33:07] Asset ownership, so UFSA.
[33:09] UFSA owns the fire stations and they maintain the fire stations where.
[33:13] Holiday ONS their fire station.
[33:14] And they maintain their fire station.
[33:16] And we can get into what's better or what's worse or what's different sometimes. But.
[33:21] For holiday, I think it definitely does make sense.
[33:23] You know, if you knew you had three more fire stations to build in the future, maybe you look at UFSA because then you could split
[33:27] that cost. But holidays?
[33:30] And we'll get into that in the future, too.
[33:33] Where station 104 is located and where our neighboring stations are located.
[33:37] It's pretty covered.
[33:38] For for having one station, it's it's it's a good idea and then you also are already 4 handed staff so.
[33:44] You can't really increase staffing very much and that's that's your other big cost where?
[33:47] You don't have to say. You would say to say if you're.
[33:50] Eagle Mountain.
[33:51] They have three stations. They're.
[33:52] Projected to build two more and they're gonna. There's gonna be a lot of.
[33:55] Costs coming up, so it makes more sense for someone like that to be a member of UFSA and split that cost.
[34:00] Versus Holiday or Riverton or some of these places already built out, it's kind of a.
[34:06] You get the same exact service though, that's the big thing.
[34:08] And, umm.
[34:09] You have total control over your.
[34:11] Of your taxes.
[34:12] So those are the big benefits. Is there any questions about that? That's because.
[34:16] That's a big.
[34:16] Point and I don't want to.
[34:19] It's a. It's a.
[34:20] Big difference for holiday.
[34:23] Is a we're essentially charged.
[34:26] There are a couple of variables, but the primary variable is our call volume.
[34:29] Right. How?
[34:31] Calls that come out of the.
[34:33] First serve station and such.
[34:35] One of the decision we have is you know three man cruise versus 4 man cruise. We wanted to go the best which is a four man crew
[34:38] which.
[34:41] Makes the most sense that that is a variable though.
[34:43] That we could decide.
[34:46] But in terms of our.
[34:49] Yeah, we're not pooled with other communities.
[34:52] We're only we're charged for our call volume that happens in holiday.
[34:56] And of course we did.
[34:58] Pay for our own fire station. That's another thing that UFSA does They.
[35:01] They're essentially assessing all the.
[35:03] UFSA members.
[35:05] As if they're one big city in a.
[35:07] A shared pool.
[35:09] For their station costs and their operating costs.
[35:13] But.
[35:15] Relative to the other cities.
[35:17] Holiday is a.
[35:19] Low call volume relative to our tax base.
[35:22] And so as a result.
[35:23] We're getting a screen and deal.
[35:24] Because we the same service provider.
[35:27] That gives the same great service to everybody but.
[35:29] The cost allocation metric is.
[35:33] Really favorable.
[35:34] So.
[35:36] Great deal. Go ahead.
[35:38] And we'll go over that with the call volume and things about in a little later on.
[35:43] But you know, just just as another example, say.
[35:46] Last year they.
[35:47] Currents open another fire station.
[35:49] And so when currents open to the fire station, they're a member of UFSA. UFSA met, all had to.
[35:54] Vote and share that cost.
[35:56] Where Holiday being a direct member, it didn't affect Holiday.
[35:58] To open a fire station elsewhere.
[36:00] So OK.
[36:03] Next slide.
[36:05] So this is kind of how our member fee system works, so.
[36:07] And I'll get into this more. This is the overview, but I'll get in the nuts and bolts in just a little bit. But it takes your
[36:11] first two areas, so 104 and there's a.
[36:15] And you can kind of.
[36:16] It's not an exact circle, but you kind of put an area around 1:04.
[36:19] And and, and the calls that are running holiday and, and you get charged for that and there's kind of a give and take between
[36:23] 1:12, which is up in Olympus Cove.
[36:28] And 116 which is low enough on Wasatch and 1:10 which is 1 in Cottonwood Heights. So there's a there's a give and take between.
[36:35] 104.
[36:36] And then?
[36:37] The neighboring cities and we capture all that.
[36:39] And charge accordingly. And every year there's, you know.
[36:43] I think for a couple years.
[36:44] It seemed like the call point there, people were coming into holiday a little bit more and then this year.
[36:49] Holiday went out a little bit more, so they went down just a little bit and.
[36:53] Kind of minuscule as far as in the grand scheme of things.
[36:56] But we do capture all of that.
[36:58] So the the the cost is is based on the geographical zone and I have a map of that and we'll show.
[37:02] And then?
[37:04] And then that you have your loaded crew cost which we'll get into that, which is how much it costs we we charge either.
[37:10] Do you have a three handed engine or a four handed engine?
[37:12] And for those that have been to fire school.
[37:14] You know the.
[37:15] Big, huge difference. And as a firefighter.
[37:17] It is a huge benefit to be on a four handed apparatus versus A3 handed apparatus.
[37:22] For almost every call. So that's that's one reason that.
[37:25] It's great. It is just.
[37:26] Firefighters.
[37:27] That a lot of people don't even like to work on 300 apparatus.
[37:31] You'll have your overhead, which we'll go over and then the offsets, which can be the revenues, which is ambulance revenue and
[37:35] things like that. But we'll get all into that total member fee number.
[37:39] More in just a little bit.
[37:43] Next slide.
[37:46] Oh, OK. We are on the next slide. So the budget is preparing accordance with the the Uniform Fiscal Procedures Act for cities.
[37:52] So UFA maintains a.
[37:55] A fund balance at or above state required minimums and.
[37:57] And they target 8 1/2% to provide a fiscal buffer for emergency contingencies and.
[38:02] There's constant scrutiny, always throws looking at the fund balance and then.
[38:06] That one of the benefits of economies of scale is the support services historically.
[38:10] They represent 14 to 16% of the budget, which is, which is really good as far as the the overhead.
[38:20] So the.
[38:21] The major cost of the UFA General Fund is obviously personnel in overtime.
[38:25] That's, that's always the number one, but what you get from that. So we maintain a hard floor of daily staffing across all our 26
[38:28] stations.
[38:32] So in any business.
[38:34] You know, staffing is always number one, but.
[38:37] You Station 104 will have your four people on your.
[38:41] Engine and two people on your ambulance.
[38:44] Doesn't matter, they can be.
[38:47] 30 sick calls We can have people deployed to a hurricane.
[38:51] But we we have a minimum staffing which is which is what it is so.
[38:55] Station 104 is always staffed, but that's a benefit because in some smaller departments.
[38:59] Sometimes it's hard to eat up.
[39:01] Sick calls or some of these other things?
[39:03] But that's the one thing that we have is we have, we have a hard minimum staffing and there has been times when.
[39:09] UFA.
[39:10] There has been every once in a while that we go down but.
[39:12] Holiday is way down that list because.
[39:14] They're pretty busy so they usually they like to draw down on a smaller one, but that handle that only happens a handful of times
[39:18] a year.
[39:22] And sometimes for instance.
[39:25] If we have people that can sign up for overtime.
[39:27] So and that's usually how we fill vacancies, but we also have something called mandatory staffing, so.
[39:33] It's just the unfortunate I I believe. I don't know if you PD has anything like this.
[39:37] Where some days.
[39:38] You may think you're going home.
[39:40] But guess what?
[39:40] You're not going home, you've been mandatory staff for that day and it's just the nature of the work.
[39:44] And everybody understands it.
[39:46] So, so that is one way we keep the minimum staffing.
[39:49] It could be hard, like I said, in a smaller department.
[39:51] And then health care costs and as a major driver and then the capital outlay.
[39:56] Which we'll get into a little bit later on too, which is a our capital plan.
[40:04] You don't get stuck. Well, actually the next slide I'll kind of explain it.
[40:07] A little bit so.
[40:09] We have a, we have a capital plan where we replace.
[40:12] Everything of value in a predetermined amount of time, for instance, and we'll get into this a little bit later, but we buy.
[40:19] Every.
[40:20] Every 9 or every nine years.
[40:23] Will buy Every three years we'll buy.
[40:25] 5 fire engines.
[40:26] And so there's a strict rotation.
[40:28] Right. So as the and as you can see.
[40:30] I don't know if you noticed that we went on it before, but for Councilmember Sunwall and Councilman Bradley, we just got a new
[40:34] fire engine this last year and so.
[40:38] The good thing about it is is that.
[40:40] Holiday is not the pony up $1,000,000 to get a fire engine which is the.
[40:43] Which is the cost of a fire engine nowadays.
[40:45] You kind of pay into this capital outlay fund every year.
[40:48] Which makes the cost predictable.
[40:49] And then?
[40:50] During the life cycle, about 10 to 12 years.
[40:52] You'll get a new fire engine.
[40:54] So we do that with everything from our.
[40:56] Ambulances to our brush trucks.
[40:59] To our radios. To our Scbas, which are our breathing apparatus.
[41:03] They're all on timelines.
[41:04] And so it makes things.
[41:07] Predictable and cost.
[41:09] I'll say a little story. I think it was in 2007 or.
[41:13] Kind of right when I got hired, we bought.
[41:15] I think 16 fire engines at once.
[41:17] And it was great, right? Everybody's like, oh, we have brand new fire, brand new fire engines.
[41:22] And, well, they all started breaking down at the same time.
[41:24] And they all came off warranty at the same time, so it was a nightmare.
[41:28] To predict costs and no one knew. And it was, it was, it was a huge challenge. So now.
[41:33] As we every three years.
[41:35] We purchased, we put an order in.
[41:37] And then you know, and the other thing is.
[41:39] We didn't like this on this last batch. We can change this on this fire engine or a little tiny changes.
[41:44] It's definitely made a.
[41:45] A more predictable.
[41:47] For costs.
[41:48] That's the biggest thing, more predictable and it keeps on a good rotation for replacing these apparatus.
[41:57] OK, and here is your station 104.
[42:01] So staff, like I said, a staff 24/7, four person fire engine and the two person ambulance.
[42:06] And then it's it's perfectly placed.
[42:09] And we'll go and start a little bit on a side note.
[42:11] People love working there. It's a it's a beautiful fire station.
[42:15] And the citizens?
[42:16] Treat everybody great here.
[42:18] The one drawback is is that there's a lot of night calls on holiday. I don't know if that's the same thing with the police.
[42:23] Seems to be a lot of night calls which.
[42:25] As firefighters, we hate that.
[42:27] But it is what it is, right? But it's a beautiful station.
[42:30] People love working there.
[42:31] And it's.
[42:32] Yeah, yeah, it's.
[42:34] That's great. That's one of the places people like to work.
[42:39] So and then the.
[42:40] For the strategic outlook, so this is this is our mission statement to save lives, protect property and strengthen community
[42:44] relationship with professionals and courage and dedication and then holiday retains total municipal autonomy and local property
[42:47] tax control.
[42:51] But you gained a.
[42:52] You gain the protection of retail's largest and specialized fire agency. So now we're going to get into some of the nuts and bolts
[42:55] of.
[42:58] The budget, does anybody have any questions over the governance or any of the things that I just.
[43:03] Covered.
[43:05] OK.
[43:08] So this is the the budget that was passed in for fiscal year 2526 and we'll kind of just go over a little bit line by line.
[43:15] Up at the top are some of the some of the revenue so.
[43:18] They always budget ambulance revenue.
[43:20] And just bridge you is so.
[43:22] For the state sets the.
[43:24] The cost for ambulance rides, so we always have people that come in and say, oh, this.
[43:29] Was this much and it is expensive? I'm not.
[43:31] There's there's no way around that, but.
[43:34] The state is due determines.
[43:36] Ambulance costs.
[43:37] Just just for people now. So you have a.
[43:40] Your ambulance revenue, which we budgeted low.
[43:43] URS actually went down.
[43:45] And then stress test cuts so.
[43:47] Cheaper chat every year.
[43:49] He I cannot.
[43:50] For the life of me remember which seat a famous CEO does this but every year he goes so just his different divisions from fire
[43:53] training.
[43:56] The operations to.
[43:58] Medical training to fire prevention to logistics.
[44:01] And he says.
[44:03] Give me a.
[44:04] Budget where you cut 10%.
[44:06] Like if you had to do it, give me a budget that you cut 10%.
[44:08] And they look at it and they decide what they can live with and what.
[44:11] And what they can't?
[44:11] But that's an exercise that he does every year.
[44:14] Which is he is, he makes them go each division, go through a stress test and then interest. So last year.
[44:20] We got a.
[44:21] Over 3.6%.
[44:22] For all increase all all employees.
[44:25] A market adjustment for sworn civilian. So they they look at every rank and see where where we are in the market from Battalion
[44:29] Chief to captain to paramedic to engineer.
[44:34] And then they usually do about.
[44:35] Have to 1/3 of the civilian employees every year with a with a look at their market.
[44:41] Health insurance, we had a 7 1/2 percent renewal rate and hoping for.
[44:44] Something similar about this year, but.
[44:48] New ambulance again So so a new ambulance started in January 2025.
[44:53] So.
[44:54] Just for clarification.
[44:56] So.
[44:56] Holiday pay how we bill is either through a three or four handed.
[44:59] Engine umm.
[45:00] And then ambulances go into a regional.
[45:03] A regional service delivery, which we'll kind of show you so.
[45:06] So for instance.
[45:08] Last year.
[45:10] The City of Holiday.
[45:11] Had a part-time ambulance, which was.
[45:14] Part time employees on an ambulance.
[45:16] Who they were staffed.
[45:18] Six days a week.
[45:20] I believe it was from 9:00 to 9:00.
[45:22] And then through the call volume.
[45:24] And just how they looked at it through data.
[45:26] They flip-flopped.
[45:27] That part-time ambulance?
[45:29] With the full time ambulance that was actually right up the street here at station 106.
[45:33] Because that would better serve everybody.
[45:34] But because that moved and that's part of the regional service delivery, there was number.
[45:38] Fiscal.
[45:39] Changing between Mill Creek and Holiday, even though you switched a part-time, full-time ambulance, so the ambulance service is
[45:42] just built in.
[45:45] Does that make sense? So. So even though there was a.
[45:48] So there's a new ambulance that was actually put in.
[45:52] I believe in currents.
[45:53] That is why, that's why that's on there for everybody.
[45:55] Same thing with the Battalion Chief. We added the 4th Battalion Chief.
[45:58] Battalion Chief serves around. It used to be 7 to 8 stations, now they serve 5 to 6, which is much more manageable.
[46:05] And then and then I won't.
[46:07] Go over the rest but.
[46:09] Or even the smallest miniscule budget impacts are kind of.
[46:11] Kind of noticed right here.
[46:17] I will say the capital fund when you go back one more time.
[46:21] So the capital fund transfers, so that was kind of a big one. I will point on that is that.
[46:26] Things are just getting much more expensive. So when we go to, I'll show you one of our capital.
[46:29] Our capital funds or our capital leases are one of our nine year leases where?
[46:33] Where we buy the fire, 5 fire engines, fire all that, it's kind of like a down payment to lessen the impact because.
[46:38] I don't know if you've ever seen it's actually been national news. Where?
[46:41] They've actually these fire.
[46:43] Fire apparatus manufacturers have actually like to appear in front of Congress because the prices of skyrocketed so much.
[46:49] Like.
[46:50] So now you know they're sitting at 1,000,000 bucks. I feel like five years ago there were 700,000, right? So that they're.
[46:56] They're going up. It used to be. We still build on our fire engine and we get it in a year.
[47:00] Now we're looking at 3-4 years.
[47:01] So it's it's actually been.
[47:03] I mean, maybe it's just national news to me because that's what I follow, but they've they've actually had to bring the
[47:07] manufacturers in front of Congress and they've been kind of grilled about this.
[47:11] So that's what that one is and I just want to point to that because I was over 1,000,000 bucks.
[47:17] OK, so here's the here's the service demand.
[47:20] And this is kind of how.
[47:22] Things are built a little bit, so if you look at the top.
[47:24] So holiday, what we do is we take a three-year.
[47:29] We combined three years so.
[47:31] So it's not just if you happen to have one.
[47:33] Year were.
[47:34] Call volume goes up in some in an area.
[47:36] It's not going to change the funding very much, so we take a three-year rolling.
[47:41] Rolling call count right here and so if you see.
[47:44] I'll kind of go. So if you look at 1:04 and you look over.
[47:48] They ran.
[47:49] 5000 incidents.
[47:51] Between 2022 and 2024.
[47:53] In in their own in their own city and.
[47:56] In in holiday.
[47:58] And UFSA.
[48:00] Gram, which is.
[48:02] 112 which is Olympus Cove.
[48:04] Which is 106 right here at Mill Creek.
[48:06] 116 or 116 is actually not that actually down there, but UFSA. So which is really 112.
[48:12] And, umm.
[48:13] And 1:06.
[48:15] They ran 32% of holidays calls.
[48:17] And so then they get down to the to the.
[48:19] To the 100% and then but then if you look down holiday ran.
[48:23] 684 calls in Cottonwood Heights area.
[48:26] And they also ran 654 calls in 112 UFSA.
[48:30] And then?
[48:31] 282 calls.
[48:32] And when I in 116's area.
[48:35] And so you take that and they kind of calculate a give and take on.
[48:38] What calls are go where?
[48:40] And then that's how they come up.
[48:42] With the billing so which is pretty good because.
[48:45] That way.
[48:46] If let's say that.
[48:48] Holiday was going into.
[48:50] One 10s area, All the time. Just all the time.
[48:53] Then at least that would be captured.
[48:55] Fiscally, rather than just.
[48:56] We're just giving it now if.
[48:58] The fortune thing for holidays that they're surrounded by UFSA in some areas where.
[49:04] It's not shared fiscally, for instance.
[49:08] Say Magna which is in UFA and then.
[49:10] West Valley.
[49:12] If West Valley was coming in all the time.
[49:15] More say that we're coming into Magna way too much.
[49:18] Then it becomes more of a cheap to cheap thing rather than we can't just figure out fiscally, it actually becomes something they
[49:21] have to workout and like.
[49:24] How we're going to do this So so holiday is right smack in the middle. I'm watching Charlotte next slide and how lucky it is.
[49:31] So if you can see where station 104 is, right in the smack in the middle.
[49:35] And the weird shape that's around it, Not the green, but just.
[49:39] That is what's called 104's first in SO.
[49:42] Any call in that area?
[49:44] Is considered.
[49:45] 104 is called and.
[49:46] For how it's built now, if you look at that little chunk on the northeast side.
[49:50] 112 actually owns that chunk of holiday, so if any call comes in there.
[49:54] 112 goes first because they're closer.
[49:56] Right, so.
[49:57] And then 110 owns a little.
[49:58] Chunk to the South.
[49:59] And then 116 owns that little chunk, the little boot there on the on the.
[50:04] Southeast.
[50:05] And.
[50:05] So the good thing about that is, is that.
[50:09] Holiday has.
[50:10] It pays for one station.
[50:12] But they have 4 stations that own a part of it.
[50:14] Which is not always the case. So if it was if they were on their own fire department.
[50:18] They might own all of it.
[50:19] Right. So, so it's very lucky that they are right smack in the middle and they're surrounded by.
[50:24] Other members of the UFA that own part of it and it's best for service delivery.
[50:31] Next slide.
[50:32] This kind of explains it a little bit more.
[50:34] So.
[50:35] If you just look at the holiday section, so a number of stations that own a first new area, SO4 stations own.
[50:40] A first two area in holiday, which is like I said, if a call goes in there.
[50:44] That station goes to it.
[50:45] Now if you look at the other ones for instance.
[50:48] Harriman. They have three in the 1st 2:00.
[50:50] But they paper two of them.
[50:52] Riverton they have 3.
[50:53] They pay, they pay for three of them and then Cottonwood Heights, they have three, but they pay for two of them, so.
[50:57] Holiday gets the best bang for the buck strictly for.
[51:00] Geographical standpoint that.
[51:02] They pay for one.
[51:03] And then they.
[51:04] Have for that on 1st stand and so the proportion of the station so holiday because.
[51:08] Those other stations own a chunk of holiday proportionally.
[51:11] You pay for 1.04 stations.
[51:14] Total and then the percent of this member fee.
[51:17] The Member. The member fee for the fiscal year 2526.
[51:20] The percentage increase from the year before.
[51:22] And then the actual dollar amount.
[51:24] Cost increase.
[51:26] Is that it's? It's kind of confusing.
[51:29] So.
[51:31] Maybe it's not.
[51:32] But does anybody have any questions of kind of how that works?
[51:35] I mean basically.
[51:37] Call volume We pay for our own station.
[51:39] And that covers the bulk of it, but.
[51:43] But you provide service based on.
[51:46] What's the best way to get there? You're providing coverage.
[51:50] And our.
[51:51] Cost share is is based primarily on our activity and we're not.
[51:54] Pulled with anyone else but we.
[51:57] Service delivery from.
[51:59] Pooled service but we just pay for.
[52:00] What's ours?
[52:01] Regardless of where it comes from.
[52:03] Yeah, yeah.
[52:05] So you you pay for the for the crew 104 and it.
[52:08] And if they were going out way more than.
[52:10] It would be.
[52:11] It would be captured.
[52:12] Recapture the call volume, which is great. So you pay from what you you pay for what you get.
[52:16] Which I think is great.
[52:19] OK, go to the.
[52:22] So here's just another way. This is. This is the.
[52:25] Exactly how the member fee is.
[52:27] And so if you if you look at it.
[52:29] Pretty small. You look at 1:04 so.
[52:32] The first part is the.
[52:34] The engine of the truck, so you can see there's two different numbers so you can you can get either get a three or four handed.
[52:39] Apparatus. Almost all of them are four handed apparatus.
[52:42] And then you get the service delivery.
[52:44] The service delivery is your ambulance service, it's your battalion chiefs.
[52:48] It's your heavy rescue and your hazmat.
[52:51] Then you give your support, which is your administrative support. So that would be logistics, it'll be.
[52:56] HR It'll be our legal department.
[52:59] Things like that, the administrative side.
[53:01] And then you have your your capital fund.
[53:03] Which we'll get, we'll go again. And that's that's how we buy all our stuff and so that.
[53:07] Even though we might get.
[53:08] 5 new fire engines.
[53:10] In a year.
[53:11] That is not going to.
[53:12] Go like this.
[53:13] Which is, which is the whole plane?
[53:15] Instance to keep a predictable.
[53:17] To keep a predictable.
[53:20] Budget and then you can kind of go over and then it just adds up. So it just.
[53:25] Over here, it'll show again. It has Cottonwood.
[53:27] Holiday, Herriman, Riverton and then UFSA.
[53:30] And then it'll add up everything to 100%. It's just another way of showing it's more detailed.
[53:34] Than the view of the previous line.
[53:41] Any questions?
[53:43] OK, right here. So again, this is these are some of the things you get from the member for you so operations that's.
[53:49] The people on the fire engines and the people that work, that's obviously the biggest expense, special operations, those are
[53:53] hazardous materials and our heavy rescue response.
[53:57] Camp Williams.
[53:59] This is actually great, so we provide.
[54:01] If anybody remembers the.
[54:03] It's the machine gunfire of 2000 and.
[54:07] 10 You remember when that came over?
[54:10] So traditionally.
[54:12] Camp Williams had their own.
[54:13] Fire department or their own Fire Protection.
[54:15] After that.
[54:16] They got rid of them and they.
[54:18] Got with.
[54:19] UFA and so UFA is providing.
[54:21] Has been providing fire service ever since to Camp Williams.
[54:24] With a it's basically a wildland firefighter crew.
[54:27] And that's their job is to protect campaigns. But the great thing about it is.
[54:30] Is if if there's nothing going on at Camp Williams.
[54:33] And say.
[54:35] Wildland fire breaks out on holiday. We can actually call them out.
[54:37] And they can actually come out and do initial attack and things like that for us, which is great.
[54:41] Which doesn't cost anything.
[54:44] Then you have fire prevention so.
[54:46] If you look over here to the holiday you pay 66,000 but you have your own.
[54:50] Erie Fire Marshall, which is great, along with Chief Wade Watkins, who you'll probably see and.
[54:55] And, umm.
[54:57] And I'll just.
[54:58] Say this about fireworks so.
[54:59] You met with Chief Watkins, correct?
[55:01] So I actually had a meeting with him yesterday about about fireworks and about weather because everybody's worried about that. And
[55:05] as it gets closer because it's too late to predict.
[55:08] He is going to come in and give a presentation.
[55:11] And uh.
[55:12] Because it's it's up to the council and everybody, he'll come in and give.
[55:16] Updated information on.
[55:18] Fuel low or moisture and fuels and things like that for you to make a decision.
[55:22] But that's another thing you get from our fire prevention. You get a, you get a, a fire Marshall and this fire training EMS
[55:26] special enforcement, which is our, our.
[55:31] Bomb and arson. We have our dogs and our arson investigators.
[55:36] Urban search and rescue so.
[55:39] Unified Fire Authority is the sponsoring agency for.
[55:43] Utah Task Force One, which is 1 of 28 FEMA search and rescue teams.
[55:46] Which is made-up of firefighters and civilians all around.
[55:50] All around Salt Lake County, even further.
[55:52] But it's it's, it's funded by FEMA and then.
[55:55] But you don't like unified fire authorities and sponsoring agencies? We're actually located out in our logistics building in West
[55:58] Jordan.
[56:01] And then you have our our wildland division.
[56:04] Which if you look over holidays portion is.
[56:07] 17,870.
[56:09] And what that is, is we have a whole violin division with.
[56:12] With hand crews. With ten person hand crews.
[56:15] They also have 3.
[56:17] Fire engines that go out and generally we go out and they deploy.
[56:20] To to different fires around the country.
[56:23] But.
[56:23] When they're in, when they're in house, they're.
[56:25] At our beck and call, so if they're in town, we can call them.
[56:28] And they also have a fuels crew under the wall.
[56:32] Can come and make them. They'll do mitigation work for holiday.
[56:34] And so actually you'll be getting e-mail from me.
[56:37] And we're looking for mitigation work and holiday for they can go and do some things and you know, but the priority being.
[56:43] City property.
[56:44] But you'll get an e-mail from me about that and then.
[56:47] Emergency Management, and you can see there's actually a refund in Emergency Management.
[56:51] So it's Salt Lake County Emergency Management.
[56:53] But because they're located in UFA headquarters.
[56:56] We get a little bit of a refund for that because we handle their payroll and and they were RHR and things like that.
[57:01] And then there's finance admin information outreach.
[57:04] Human resources Logistics.
[57:07] And then the capital fund transfer and that gives you the total cost, so you can see holiday.
[57:11] 3.198.
[57:12] Million.
[57:15] And then OK.
[57:18] Next slide.
[57:19] So here's here's just an example of SO.
[57:23] Unified UFA. We do.
[57:25] We have 3.
[57:26] Nine month.
[57:27] They call them leases or loans that.
[57:30] That we are 9 year, nine year, nine year. Thank you. 9 year so.
[57:33] So when one falls off.
[57:35] Another one comes on. When one falls off, another comes on. And here's just the example of one of them so.
[57:39] Type 1 fire engines.
[57:41] Five of them, which is that's like the fire engine here in Holiday. That's the tip. When you think of a fire engine, it's a that's
[57:44] what is a Type 1 fire engine.
[57:48] A type 1/3 engine is is kind of a.
[57:51] It's got the capabilities of.
[57:53] Type one fire engine but it's kind of.
[57:55] Has some wildland abilities at the same time.
[57:58] It can do both.
[58:00] But in a municipal area.
[58:02] We just have them in a couple places. Harriman has one.
[58:05] Our Canyon station has them because they're more like.
[58:07] The the more likely to have.
[58:09] A house buyer or a wildland fire than a place like holiday.
[58:13] And then you have a tractor drawn.
[58:15] Aerial apparatus, let's say.
[58:16] We call them tillers, so it's the ladder truck the guy drives in the back.
[58:19] Or the girl drives in the back.
[58:20] These emails.
[58:21] 5 ambulances, 1 heavy rescue apparatus.
[58:25] 3 mechanic trucks. I won't go through the whole thing but you can look.
[58:28] And that's, that's an example of things on our capital replacement fund like this we have, we have 3.
[58:32] Nine year ones and 1-6 year one.
[58:34] And we'll kind of go over the six year one, but.
[58:36] The six year 1 is just for the.
[58:38] Usually those things don't last nine years and it's something that we want to replace all the same time. For instance, radios.
[58:43] We'll get, we'll replace all the radios at the same time because it's not one of those things where.
[58:48] Well, what kind of radio am I working with today? We want it all to be the same.
[58:51] Or cardiac monitors. When we replace the cardiac monitors, we replace them all at once because we don't want different cardiac
[58:55] monitors out there at the same time. So those are and.
[58:59] Usually we don't keep those things for nine years. So those are examples of those kind of leases and we'll kind of go on that.
[59:04] On the next slide.
[59:11] This is just more of this SO.
[59:14] Oh, these are, these are our cash purchases. I'm sorry. So these are things that just wouldn't make sense.
[59:18] So.
[59:20] Body truck with chipper. A couple some IT equipment.
[59:24] Some software stuff.
[59:25] This is cast purchases that we did last year.
[59:27] And the big ones.
[59:31] And here's our example of our capital replacement plan, so you can see up at the top.
[59:36] You have your fiscal every three years.
[59:38] Kind of tells you what you're going to buy.
[59:40] And I won't go down it but.
[59:42] Everything is captured.
[59:47] Which is good. One thing that I forgot to go over.
[59:50] Which I think is important.
[59:51] Important is can we go back? I'll tell you when to stop.
[59:55] Go back, go back.
[59:57] OK, great.
[1:00:00] Let's see, go back one more.
[1:00:04] Yes, so on this one.
[1:00:06] I just wanted to see on.
[1:00:08] I wanted to point something better on the.
[1:00:12] The member free before the.
[1:00:14] The member fee credit.
[1:00:15] So.
[1:00:17] I always like to tell the story.
[1:00:18] So when I was in the Marine Corps before I.
[1:00:22] Became a firefighter.
[1:00:24] And I always remember this.
[1:00:25] We went to the Philippines for a training.
[1:00:27] And.
[1:00:28] We're only over there for.
[1:00:30] Four or five days. I can't remember exactly how much.
[1:00:32] This is an.
[1:00:33] 2004 since this was a long time ago.
[1:00:35] And.
[1:00:36] Our trainings all got rained out so before we got back on the boat.
[1:00:41] We sat there and in the middle of the night.
[1:00:44] We shall. I can't remember.
[1:00:47] Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of rounds.
[1:00:50] Into nothing.
[1:00:51] Into the blackness.
[1:00:52] And I remember like, why are we doing this?
[1:00:54] And.
[1:00:55] And they said it was the whole.
[1:00:57] Well, if we don't use it, we won't get it next year.
[1:00:59] Right. Typical government.
[1:01:02] Spending, uh.
[1:01:02] Which?
[1:01:04] Years and years ago.
[1:01:05] I've seen things like that here. So here.
[1:01:08] There is, we actually give a member free credit, so.
[1:01:11] The budget is.
[1:01:12] Is approved.
[1:01:14] And you can see it's, I mean it is down to every single little purchase.
[1:01:17] And while most of it is open allocations.
[1:01:19] Whatever goes left doesn't just get spent.
[1:01:21] It actually gets.
[1:01:23] Set back to offset the number for you the next year and I should have.
[1:01:26] Put on that, but that's that's very important because.
[1:01:30] In the previous UFA administration, I'm talking.
[1:01:34] 1617 years ago.
[1:01:36] That extra money would have been spent on something.
[1:01:38] To be perfectly honest, but now.
[1:01:40] It's not.
[1:01:41] It's back.
[1:01:43] They don't just spend the money and that again, most of this is open allocations, but I didn't want to point that out because I
[1:01:46] did skip it.
[1:01:50] All right.
[1:01:54] Oh, that was it.
[1:01:56] So.
[1:01:57] That was.
[1:01:58] That's UFA 101 in a nutshell. At least the governance.
[1:02:02] And the budget?
[1:02:03] Portion. How many questions about that?
[1:02:08] That's either a good or a bad thing. I'm I'm hip deep in it myself quite often, but I'll just reiterate.
[1:02:15] We are, and we're served extremely well.
[1:02:18] The the arrangement that Holiday has with this organization has extremely beneficial for Holiday in my view.
[1:02:25] I appreciate very much, I've come to appreciate very much that capital rotation blanks. It really does smooth out.
[1:02:32] Those big costs in a way that makes it manageable for municipalities that have a regular.
[1:02:38] You know, cycle of revenue that can't spike the way capital purchases could.
[1:02:43] If we were employing it.
[1:02:45] A different methodology. Think of us.
[1:02:47] Our previous Chief Peterson, was it that created that this capital rotation?
[1:02:52] That was one of the primary contributions he made among.
[1:02:55] Many great contributions.
[1:02:57] And.
[1:02:59] I couldn't be happier. And so this was.
[1:03:01] This showed.
[1:03:02] Our increase from.
[1:03:04] Last year, the current year at.
[1:03:06] Four point.
[1:03:07] 11 or 4.12.
[1:03:10] We're significantly less than that this coming year. Coming up, our call volume went down relative to the total. So I think we're
[1:03:13] going to.
[1:03:17] The 2.11 range.
[1:03:19] So we're we gotta scream and deal this next budget. You're coming up too. So.
[1:03:25] Anyway, appreciate.
[1:03:25] All you do at UFO.
[1:03:27] Or proud members and.
[1:03:29] Delighted and.
[1:03:30] But but yeah, there any questions or comments?
[1:03:33] I just have a quick question. You were talking about, I know a lot of times in my neighborhood because we are a little bit closer
[1:03:38] to Murray, we see Murray come in. How does that work?
[1:03:42] With umm.
[1:03:43] The costs.
[1:03:44] Than expenses, sure.
[1:03:46] Sure. So.
[1:03:47] Well, first I'll say how things are dispatched.
[1:03:49] So, and I don't know exactly where you live, but.
[1:03:54] So for a heavy apparatus.
[1:03:56] It's what is dispatched is.
[1:03:59] So that for the funding is is that map.
[1:04:02] Right, but.
[1:04:03] For how they're dispatching heavy apparatus if it can get there within 4 minutes.
[1:04:07] Then that heavy apparatus will go. So I don't know if you live within 4, approximately 4 minutes of 104. So is it always Murray?
[1:04:13] Are you on the border?
[1:04:14] We're yeah, we're on the border.
[1:04:16] So it's probably always Murray.
[1:04:17] For the most part.
[1:04:19] Yeah, just noticing what I yes, Yep, Yep, Yep. So yeah, so, so.
[1:04:25] How is dispatch Is is?
[1:04:26] Is it? I'll get back to it, but just because I went, I already started. This is 4 minutes for heavy apparatus. So if if a heavy
[1:04:30] apparatus can get there within 4 minutes.
[1:04:34] In in in their zone, so.
[1:04:37] It'll go into that 104 weird shaped box and then it'll.
[1:04:40] It'll GPS it and say where is medic engine 104?
[1:04:44] And.
[1:04:44] If medic engine 104 can get there in 4 minutes.
[1:04:47] It will dispatch them.
[1:04:49] And if not, then it goes to what we call AVL Automatic vehicle location. I think is what is basically GPS. It'll send the closest
[1:04:53] apparatus.
[1:04:57] And we actually just changed that this year and I'll kind of.
[1:04:59] Just go on to it real quick.
[1:05:03] It wasn't a UFA thing but.
[1:05:05] Back in the day.
[1:05:06] When they people used to build fire stations.
[1:05:08] They actually used to build the fire stations on the borders of the cities to keep other cities out.
[1:05:12] And so.
[1:05:13] What was happening is we switched to.
[1:05:16] With the technology and we used to.
[1:05:17] Start dispatching everybody just straight off GPS.
[1:05:21] Was that places like?
[1:05:22] West Valley were.
[1:05:23] Taking a high purport because they're right. They built themselves around the border of Taylorsville because that's how.
[1:05:28] What they used to do, they were taking a ton of calls into Taylorsville.
[1:05:31] Right, which is not theirs.
[1:05:32] So then so the Chiefs all got together and they decided to just proximity dispatching. So now.
[1:05:37] Within 104 they'll if 104 can get there within 4 minutes.
[1:05:41] Then they'll do it and then the ambulance is an 8 minute window.
[1:05:44] Now.
[1:05:44] Seeing that you're not within 4 minutes, it's going to go.
[1:05:47] GPS and so you'll get and that's Murray.
[1:05:50] Is not in house. Sit at Murray Station is not there.
[1:05:52] It'll go GPS, it'll send the next closest unit which.
[1:05:55] Who knows?
[1:05:55] Who might that be?
[1:05:56] So and that becomes a chief to chief.
[1:05:59] Thing as far as.
[1:06:00] Mutual aid, where they'll talk.
[1:06:01] Call volume and.
[1:06:03] Hey, you know you guys come in more than us or we.
[1:06:05] And we come in more than you, and it becomes kind of a negotiation. Now, I can't tell you this with Murray.
[1:06:10] Is we have a great relationship with Murray.
[1:06:12] And I don't think there's.
[1:06:13] Even though they may own a little section of holiday right there.
[1:06:18] A typical house buyer takes.
[1:06:20] 3 fire engines and one ladder truck that is.
[1:06:23] That is dispatched to one house fire. Murray doesn't have that whole city, so every house fire UFA is supplementing.
[1:06:29] So there's a give and take there.
[1:06:30] That is managed by the Chiefs.
[1:06:32] And uh.
[1:06:33] And that and that's why that is so if you don't live within 4 minutes.
[1:06:36] And Murray's a little closer.
[1:06:37] You'll get them every time right there. And so I know exactly where you live.
[1:06:42] Probably.
[1:06:43] I can probably guess.
[1:06:45] But that's a, that's a shoe area close to that. Yeah. So you see, So it must be 82. If you can see 82, they must be able to get
[1:06:49] there faster than 104.
[1:06:53] Or maybe just 104 has been out.
[1:06:55] Very much.
[1:06:56] I'm actually interested. I might.
[1:06:57] But that's how it works.
[1:07:00] OK. Thank you.
[1:07:03] Any other questions?
[1:07:04] Can I just add to that, I don't know if Chief Burchett is doing this, but I know Chief Peterson.
[1:07:10] Had a pretty.
[1:07:11] Complicated matrix to make sure that mutual aid.
[1:07:15] Penciled out.
[1:07:16] And I was impressed with how.
[1:07:21] Closely umm.
[1:07:23] The mutual aid.
[1:07:25] Really worked.
[1:07:26] One community wasn't subsidizing another.
[1:07:30] People were helping each other.
[1:07:34] Pretty equally.
[1:07:36] It's actually.
[1:07:37] Pretty amazing how it works out, but yeah, that's he.
[1:07:40] Cheaper than.
[1:07:41] Pretty much taking everything cheap. Peterson's done and.
[1:07:43] Kind of continued it. So I'm sure it's the same thing. Yeah, I've, I've had that conversation that chief.
[1:07:48] And so UFA.
[1:07:51] Is uh.
[1:07:52] Is feels pretty even Steven there are a couple of communities that.
[1:07:57] Are a little out of balance, but.
[1:08:00] But so we're kind of.
[1:08:02] Deficit with one.
[1:08:04] Outside organization, but.
[1:08:05] Have an access with another and.
[1:08:08] It we're kind of worked out in the wash.
[1:08:11] Yes and but.
[1:08:13] There are certain communities to the South who are.
[1:08:16] Not but.
[1:08:18] We're OK.
[1:08:20] Not only that, Mares that we have a lot of.
[1:08:22] Stuff. So like I said.
[1:08:24] We have our only, we have the only dedicated wall division that.
[1:08:26] Frankly, everybody benefits from.
[1:08:28] And then we have our own specialty, hazardous materials companies and owned specialty.
[1:08:32] Heavy rescue companies were.
[1:08:34] A lot of smaller departments, they have to dual specialize, right, So.
[1:08:38] There's a lot of things that.
[1:08:40] That we have plus our.
[1:08:41] Most smaller departments don't have.
[1:08:43] Investigators.
[1:08:44] Bomber arson so and that gets utilized by.
[1:08:47] By other smaller departments utilize ours. So there's there's give and take. It's not it's all not just all about call volume.
[1:08:53] As far as the mutual aid type stuff.
[1:08:56] OK, sorry, we're not taking public comment on the.
[1:09:03] The date that the Fire Chief.
[1:09:07] Cheapens.
[1:09:08] Yes, I will make sure that when it is it and.
[1:09:11] Again, it's going to be.
[1:09:12] Closer to.
[1:09:14] Actual fireworks time.
[1:09:15] But I'll make sure it's on the agenda.
[1:09:17] But we are happy to meet with you. You have my number. We talked before. I'm I'm happy. We're happy to be with you.
[1:09:25] And not in this form if it's easier for you.
[1:09:28] All right. Thanks, Mayor. Thanks. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you.
[1:09:33] OK, but Speaking of that, the next item.
[1:09:36] Up is discussion of the fireworks map.
[1:09:38] Yes, who? Don't go too far.
[1:09:42] Capping down.
[1:09:44] There's a fireworks map discussion as the.
[1:09:46] Next item on the agenda.
[1:09:51] Yeah. So we received from.
[1:09:55] Chief Watkins a letter.
[1:09:58] Telling us that in accordance with state law, we need to adopt a map.
[1:10:03] By me first.
[1:10:06] So wanted to have a preliminary conversation with the council tonight, knowing that they need to adopt something next week.
[1:10:15] The letter really outlines.
[1:10:17] Process.
[1:10:18] And not a lot of guidance. It sounds like that may be coming at a later time. Well, very soon, yes. I thought actually would have
[1:10:24] come out already. But yeah, I think he might be doing it right now.
[1:10:30] OK, so.
[1:10:32] Will he, will we get that guidance before we need to make this?
[1:10:35] Decision. Well, I can kind of.
[1:10:37] Guided a little bit.
[1:10:41] I will say.
[1:10:42] And then, Todd, you stop me if I.
[1:10:48] What the state has basically kind of said is that.
[1:10:50] It's people, citizens rights.
[1:10:53] To use fireworks.
[1:10:54] So.
[1:10:55] The Council cannot.
[1:10:57] You cannot arbitrarily.
[1:11:02] Restrict fireworks without certain criteria.
[1:11:06] Is that a good way to say it?
[1:11:07] Yeah, the state law.
[1:11:09] State law for several years.
[1:11:12] Has.
[1:11:13] Identified certain areas where you can restrict the discharge of fireworks and it talks about areas of.
[1:11:19] Dry grass as it talks about around.
[1:11:22] Creek beds.
[1:11:23] Washes like that. It talks about the urban wildland interface.
[1:11:26] But then it indicates that.
[1:11:29] You need to make sort of a.
[1:11:31] A finding that there exists hazardous conditions.
[1:11:34] That.
[1:11:35] Have.
[1:11:36] Historically.
[1:11:37] Existed for at least two of the last five years.
[1:11:40] To aid you in drawing your line.
[1:11:42] Where you would be able to prohibit fireworks.
[1:11:44] And so.
[1:11:46] I know a few years ago the Council had a line along 1300 E.
[1:11:50] In this city.
[1:11:51] That was, for lack of a better term, I guess, kind of relaxed.
[1:11:55] Last year.
[1:11:56] But that had been your line.
[1:11:59] Based on.
[1:12:00] Sort of the environmental conditions we've had.
[1:12:03] Over the last several years.
[1:12:05] For a few years preceding that.
[1:12:07] So.
[1:12:08] As we look at that line.
[1:12:10] You know, we think about.
[1:12:11] The lack of moisture we've had this winter, all those things can weigh into your discussion now.
[1:12:16] That you will be required to make a specific finding that.
[1:12:20] There's a hazardous area.
[1:12:21] That's existed for at least two of the last five years.
[1:12:24] And there is specific statutory language that identifies areas of dry grass brush.
[1:12:30] Cover.
[1:12:31] The urban wildland interface or those?
[1:12:34] Natural, uh.
[1:12:35] Creek Ways.
[1:12:36] Essentially Todd.
[1:12:38] Can the fact that we used that line?
[1:12:42] Within the last five years for a couple of be part of the finding.
[1:12:46] That would because if we're looking at just this year, that's what you're saying is insufficient. But if we're saying like within
[1:12:50] the last five years that 13th East.
[1:12:54] It's it's good evidence of the fact that you made a finding to that effect in the last five years and it certainly.
[1:13:00] If we go back.
[1:13:01] Three years.
[1:13:02] You know, for you certainly wouldn't be hard to justify.
[1:13:05] Those lines.
[1:13:08] I will say.
[1:13:09] So I think it was, it's two years ago.
[1:13:11] Gina that we expanded it.
[1:13:13] Was it 2? So we've had two years of the non 313 hundred ease.
[1:13:17] So I will say.
[1:13:18] And I'm not.
[1:13:20] Thing going for one or another but.
[1:13:22] There hasn't been an increase in fireworks related incidents in those two years.
[1:13:27] Just I mean grant on the.
[1:13:28] The days of.
[1:13:29] Legal discharge there's always.
[1:13:31] There's always the illegal discharge ones and that's.
[1:13:34] Has nothing to do with this.
[1:13:36] But on the days of legal discharge.
[1:13:38] From the.
[1:13:39] Expanding of the times there hasn't been.
[1:13:41] An increase another.
[1:13:45] Tool that you may have is.
[1:13:47] A red do we have?
[1:13:49] The opportunity to pull a map up.
[1:13:50] Stephanie commutes so they can see it.
[1:13:54] Is a.
[1:13:55] As like Todd said, you you can look at conditions, hazardous conditions or.
[1:13:59] Or or historical fires which you don't have.
[1:14:02] In the two of the five years.
[1:14:04] But you also have.
[1:14:05] A readably accessible line.
[1:14:08] So, uh.
[1:14:09] Something that's easy to enforce where?
[1:14:12] It's not all over the place where well, over here I can't tell or I can't. I'm on the boundaries over here. I don't know.
[1:14:18] So that that's another way to delineate.
[1:14:21] Where you can.
[1:14:23] Discharge fireworks is something that's easily recognizable and enforceable.
[1:14:28] Is this the UFA? Is this the the?
[1:14:31] Last year, is this the whole thing or just holiday? I was going to say if you saw Cottonwood Heights.
[1:14:35] They have. Well, it's it's.
[1:14:37] So confusing and they've had problems that they're actually gonna have to redo theirs a little bit this year just because it's so
[1:14:42] hard to enforce. They just have pockets where you can and you can't and things like that, so.
[1:14:46] That would be another thing, but.
[1:14:50] It's not a.
[1:14:51] It's not I don't like fireworks so.
[1:14:54] We don't want them. It's it's that's, that's not.
[1:14:56] Something that you can.
[1:14:58] You can do.
[1:14:59] Well, I think we.
[1:15:00] You did create some.
[1:15:02] Precedent. They were primarily based on environmental conditions.
[1:15:08] And that those environmental conditions eased the last couple of years and so then we.
[1:15:15] Applied that same precedent.
[1:15:17] Given the.
[1:15:18] Used environmental conditions.
[1:15:20] It would appear to me we haven't had the data yet.
[1:15:24] Although I do read the newspaper.
[1:15:26] So it seems to me that those environmental conditions perhaps have changed again.
[1:15:31] But but.
[1:15:32] I'd still just want to essentially.
[1:15:34] Apply the precedent.
[1:15:36] That.
[1:15:37] The Council.
[1:15:38] Or at least have an opportunity to review that precedent and have an opportunity to reapply that precedent given current
[1:15:42] environmentals to help us make that decision.
[1:15:47] I would agree with you.
[1:15:49] Mayor, that that that's kind of how I've been looking at this going into. I was hoping that we would get more.
[1:15:55] Specific data as far as like fuel load and those kind of things.
[1:16:00] And with.
[1:16:02] The terrible snow year that we've had this year. So I don't know if that's.
[1:16:06] Well, so I will say so that.
[1:16:08] The fuel moisture.
[1:16:09] Mm-hmm. That you can't predict that.
[1:16:11] Because that's.
[1:16:12] Because we could that could.
[1:16:14] That could happen. We could have a lot of rain from now until then. You so you can't.
[1:16:18] Predict that.
[1:16:19] As far as?
[1:16:20] Is.
[1:16:22] The fuel moisture levels, which is which is a big thing.
[1:16:24] Right. So that's one thing that.
[1:16:26] When I said that Chief Watkins would come in, that was kind of where I was going to say where.
[1:16:30] Say we had really dry. Say you adopted a map.
[1:16:33] Of whatever.
[1:16:36] The Council, and correct me if I'm wrong, Todd, that.
[1:16:38] Under extreme conditions you can and you can change it.
[1:16:42] Under so whatever you.
[1:16:44] You is your map.
[1:16:45] If there's extreme weather conditions that have persisted.
[1:16:48] You can.
[1:16:49] Restrict at that time.
[1:16:51] So you're not locked in.
[1:16:54] Yeah. But like we've, we've established kind of a.
[1:16:57] A set of parameters from a couple of years ago. I'd like to review those.
[1:17:01] And assuming we can get the.
[1:17:03] Similar related data that we used.
[1:17:06] In in those previous years when we've made these decisions.
[1:17:10] To both restrict.
[1:17:12] Completely like we did three to four years ago.
[1:17:16] And then those eased because conditions changed.
[1:17:19] Well, conditions have changed back or not, we'll just evaluate those parameters.
[1:17:25] And stick with our.
[1:17:27] Precedent, unless there's reason to.
[1:17:29] Change the precedent.
[1:17:30] So, Councilmember Gray, I think the answer question that data is not this.
[1:17:33] Not not there yet.
[1:17:36] We suspect we'll have it by the time we're required to make that decision. Well, not the, not the.
[1:17:42] The the.
[1:17:43] The data I was talking about with cheap walk.
[1:17:45] Was going to be more of the fuel and moisture load and it might have been.
[1:17:48] You know.
[1:17:49] A couple weeks before the 4th of July or something like that, that was I was kind of alluding toward the more of the emergency.
[1:17:57] We have drought conditions.
[1:17:58] We can't have fireworks, period.
[1:18:00] Type of thing because of the.
[1:18:01] Fuel moisture levels.
[1:18:03] That was more of the the data that I was talking about. Yeah. Oh, the.
[1:18:06] But whatever data we use.
[1:18:08] Because the timeline for us hasn't changed.
[1:18:10] Right. No. And so we had.
[1:18:13] Data that we had at the time we made the decision in those previous years.
[1:18:18] We just need to have that.
[1:18:19] The similar data that was.
[1:18:22] That we have at the time of year we need to make the decision.
[1:18:25] I feel like we had more data.
[1:18:27] Did that like seemed like?
[1:18:29] Yeah. So if we can.
[1:18:31] Yeah, I remember last year we had a wet spring.
[1:18:35] And then as soon as we voted.
[1:18:37] To allow fireworks in parts of the city.
[1:18:40] The rain stopped.
[1:18:41] Yes, and by the time the 4th of July.
[1:18:44] Came around. It was.
[1:18:46] Dry as dry.
[1:18:48] And actually I was really nervous and I talked to former Mayor Dally and said hey.
[1:18:55] I think we ought to.
[1:18:57] Look at re.
[1:18:58] Restricting fireworks for the 24th and.
[1:19:02] Couldn't.
[1:19:03] Get enough people to back me on it.
[1:19:09] I guess I say this because I'm nervous.
[1:19:12] Not only.
[1:19:13] The dryness that we've had so far, but also.
[1:19:16] The fact that.
[1:19:17] Our water situation is so dire.
[1:19:21] I would be really mad at.
[1:19:22] Somebody who started a fire with fireworks and see all those.
[1:19:26] Millions of gallons.
[1:19:27] Being used.
[1:19:29] To fight it.
[1:19:32] Yeah, anyway.
[1:19:33] Let's try to get that.
[1:19:34] Relevant data and.
[1:19:35] For sure I can for because.
[1:19:37] Council meeting next for council meeting next week.
[1:19:40] Yeah.
[1:19:41] Is there any other? Is there additional information?
[1:19:45] That the Council is interested.
[1:19:48] In in.
[1:19:51] Looking at.
[1:19:53] Well, I don't recall the specific data sources and data elements, but those should be.
[1:19:58] I guess in the minutes from those years.
[1:20:00] Of what those parameters were we used to?
[1:20:03] To make those decisions. I mean, I'm sure one of them is going to be snowpack.
[1:20:06] Yeah, and.
[1:20:08] I remember that was 1.
[1:20:09] Yeah, but I think we all know that and just.
[1:20:13] Zero. I mean not basic drought. I think it's a basic drought measurements.
[1:20:17] You know, oh, I think, I think 1 was like what?
[1:20:20] Are we?
[1:20:21] It's like our city in like what drought condition?
[1:20:24] Is the city of Holiday Inn.
[1:20:26] At that time.
[1:20:27] I think that was another one.
[1:20:29] And that was kind of all state fire Marshall stuff, as I recall.
[1:20:33] And this is something we have to vote on next week. We do.
[1:20:36] And that is that is state.
[1:20:40] Law, I guess.
[1:20:41] Captain Brown, I had assumed I that.
[1:20:45] Perhaps Chief Watkins was.
[1:20:48] More reticent to offer.
[1:20:51] Guidance than say a previous fire Marshall.
[1:20:56] Yeah, yeah, I will make sure that.
[1:20:58] Therapy. I'm going to speak to him.
[1:21:01] Tonight, OK.
[1:21:03] Do we, I'm assuming other municipalities?
[1:21:06] Are obviously on the same timeline as we are.
[1:21:08] Are they or any further?
[1:21:10] Along in the process of making their decisions about what they've done. So I will say this, I know that.
[1:21:15] Codman Heights.
[1:21:16] Is minus.
[1:21:18] A couple of the pockets.
[1:21:19] Mainly because of enforcement, because they have little.
[1:21:22] Pockets all over the place.
[1:21:23] Is going to be pretty much the same, and Mill Creek is going to be.
[1:21:26] The same as well.
[1:21:28] The same as they were last. That's that was, that's the feeling of the liaisons. They haven't voted on it.
[1:21:31] But that was the feeling that they were going to get. They were first. Mill Creek is banned, right?
[1:21:35] Yeah, it's way more strict than Holiday. It's more strict than.
[1:21:38] Yeah, So yeah. And I thought Cottonwood Heights was more strict than holiday, too. No, Hardwood Heights has a lot of.
[1:21:45] Checkerboard.
[1:21:46] Goofiness. So the fact that Mill Creek can ban.
[1:21:50] Fireworks on the East End of the city, which is basically as Far East as the entire city of Holiday is.
[1:21:57] If I'm remembering what you.
[1:21:59] Explained to me before it's because they never.
[1:22:01] Retreated. They never allowed.
[1:22:04] Fireworks, they just.
[1:22:06] They just keep continuing. And so because of that, they can continue it. They don't have to justify.
[1:22:13] Walking back, is that right? I don't think that's right. Oh, you know, that's right.
[1:22:18] No, the same conditions in the statute.
[1:22:21] Have to be.
[1:22:22] A specific finding by a council and.
[1:22:25] You may look to your past practice to say we have these kind of conditions and this is where we drew the line, but your past line
[1:22:29] has nothing to do with.
[1:22:33] Satisfying the statutory OK, good to know.
[1:22:36] Thank you.
[1:22:39] So we have a free hand to make whatever decision we feel best.
[1:22:42] I just happen to think looking to precedent is.
[1:22:44] Helps. I think it's happening.
[1:22:46] Well, and I, I like the idea and I said this when we were making the decisions in the past, I think.
[1:22:51] Government can be nimble in so few things.
[1:22:54] But I think this is 1 where we can be more nimble and on.
[1:22:58] Years where?
[1:22:59] There's a lot of water.
[1:23:01] I think.
[1:23:02] I think we could.
[1:23:03] Use restrictions and then years where.
[1:23:06] We're looking at.
[1:23:07] More drought conditions, I think.
[1:23:09] I like the idea of being nimble and approaching it that way.
[1:23:17] Any other comments?
[1:23:19] So the only thing I would highlight for the Council if you and Stephanie, if you could pull up.
[1:23:24] Are 25 map.
[1:23:27] There was an area that was.
[1:23:30] Included as a permissible area for fireworks last year.
[1:23:36] That.
[1:23:37] You may want to revisit if you stay with a map that looks something like this.
[1:23:42] And that is the.
[1:23:43] Park and ride.
[1:23:44] Mill Rock and Old Mill. Oh yes.
[1:23:48] I'm just going to say right now, yes, that needs to be revisited.
[1:23:53] Is that because of activity we saw there?
[1:23:55] Yes.
[1:24:02] Yeah, I'd like to just advocate right now that we.
[1:24:04] Don't allow that, regardless of other decisions that we make.
[1:24:08] OK. Thank you.
[1:24:09] All right. Anything else on that?
[1:24:11] Agenda item.
[1:24:13] OK, let's go to the business license fee discussion.
[1:24:28] OK, so included in your packet is the answers to some questions that you posed.
[1:24:36] The last time we had Fred Philpott.
[1:24:40] With us to talk about the business license fee.
[1:24:43] Study umm.
[1:24:44] I wanted to just.
[1:24:46] Spend a little bit of time going through that information and some past conversations.
[1:24:51] Because this has taken some time.
[1:24:55] Umm, just to remind you of where we are. And that's what Stephanie is bringing up right now.
[1:25:01] So just starting at the very beginning, two years ago, the prior council authorized us to.
[1:25:09] Take a look at our business license fees to determine costs associated with providing services.
[1:25:16] To our business community.
[1:25:19] The fees that we charge for those businesses can either supplement other general fund dollars or they can completely cover those
[1:25:23] costs and that.
[1:25:27] That that's up to you.
[1:25:29] The study found that the cost of us providing services.
[1:25:34] Two businesses is about a million dollars, 900.
[1:25:37] $41,000.
[1:25:40] And we've been collecting over the last five years. I think our average is right around $290,000 from business license fees. So
[1:25:46] the general fund is making up.
[1:25:53] Other tax sources are making up the rest of.
[1:25:57] How we cover those costs?
[1:26:01] The other thing that the business license.
[1:26:04] Fee study found is that some business types have a disproportionate impact on that total cost.
[1:26:10] So not everybody's the same in.
[1:26:13] In what they cost the city to be a business here.
[1:26:19] So if you could go to the next slide.
[1:26:22] Guide.
[1:26:25] Here's the guidance that we think we've heard from the council to date.
[1:26:30] We think you've said that business license fees.
[1:26:33] Should supplement other general fund dollars.
[1:26:37] And that fees don't need to cover 100% of the cost of providing services to our business community.
[1:26:44] I think we've heard that loud and clear.
[1:26:46] We've also heard that business types that have a disproportionate impact should pay.
[1:26:51] A disproportionate fee.
[1:26:54] But we've also heard that businesses don't need to cover 100% of that disproportionate impact.
[1:27:00] The guidance that we've had to date has varied between 25 and 40% depending on those business groupings and we'll look at those in
[1:27:04] just a second.
[1:27:13] I wanted to highlight what I think.
[1:27:15] The answers to that?
[1:27:17] Are in your packet.
[1:27:21] Mean for some business group.
[1:27:25] Many business groups will payless.
[1:27:28] Under the new.
[1:27:29] Proposed structure.
[1:27:31] So 85% of our business licenses that we issue are renewals in our community.
[1:27:37] And that means that most businesses are going to payless.
[1:27:41] With the new structure.
[1:27:44] Some businesses and.
[1:27:47] Hang on just a second, I have a list of those groups.
[1:27:56] So our most common business grouping which is the business professional and contracted services.
[1:28:02] The new cost of a business license will increase.
[1:28:06] But most will payless.
[1:28:09] Restaurants both with and without liquor.
[1:28:12] Will payless for both the renewal.
[1:28:14] And a new license.
[1:28:18] We do have a few businesses that are going to see an increase.
[1:28:22] And that includes.
[1:28:24] Banks. Convenience stores.
[1:28:27] Grocery stores. Pharmacies.
[1:28:30] Regulated home occupations, things that have to go, businesses that have to go through our conditional use process.
[1:28:36] On and off.
[1:28:37] Promised beer retailers and hotels.
[1:28:40] All of those groups.
[1:28:42] Are going to see an increase.
[1:28:46] This new fund.
[1:28:47] Fee structure that we've been talking about is projected to generate.
[1:28:52] Approximately $70,000 in additional revenue.
[1:28:58] However, that includes a lot of your conversations have focused on.
[1:29:03] What do we do about assisted living and.
[1:29:06] Nursing facilities.
[1:29:08] So if.
[1:29:10] The disproportionate impact for.
[1:29:13] Nursing.
[1:29:15] Residential and personal care remains up 40%.
[1:29:18] That would equal that $70,000 in additional revenue.
[1:29:23] If you.
[1:29:24] However, wanted to take that to 25% the way you have for some other categories.
[1:29:30] It would basically be revenue neutral.
[1:29:36] So the next slide.
[1:29:38] Looks at where we had ended up.
[1:29:41] On disproportionate fees.
[1:29:44] By groupings and that.
[1:29:47] Occluded an adjustment.
[1:29:52] To 40% of the disproportionate for some and.
[1:29:56] Had reduced to 25%.
[1:29:58] For those that you had categorized as generating economic benefits for the city.
[1:30:05] Economic development related.
[1:30:07] Groupings like.
[1:30:08] Convenience stores and.
[1:30:11] Gas stations.
[1:30:13] Grocery stores. Hotels.
[1:30:15] Pharmacies and drug stores.
[1:30:17] And then 40%.
[1:30:19] For a few other categories.
[1:30:24] So.
[1:30:25] Next slide.
[1:30:31] This evening I think we're really looking for direction on assisted living in nursing homes.
[1:30:37] Where you end up?
[1:30:39] With them, also included in your packet is the answer to your question about adjacent communities and what they're charging.
[1:30:47] So we're looking for direction as the council comfortable with us starting to do some outreach regarding these potential new fees.
[1:30:56] Knowing that.
[1:30:57] You won't adopt them until you adopt.
[1:30:59] The budget.
[1:31:02] In June.
[1:31:04] And by outreach, tell me what?
[1:31:06] Exactly. That looks like. So it could look a variety of different ways. I think we would use the business Advisory Board to start
[1:31:12] some of those conversations.
[1:31:17] With business.
[1:31:19] Groups.
[1:31:20] And then probably some direct outreach to.
[1:31:24] Groups that.
[1:31:26] Like assisted living in nursing homes, that might see some.
[1:31:29] Larger impacts.
[1:31:31] Just to get their feedback.
[1:31:34] Would that be done through like surveys or direct contact or?
[1:31:38] I'm anticipating that a lot of it would be.
[1:31:44] I mean traditional kind of public engagement.
[1:31:46] Flyers, that sort of thing.
[1:31:48] With an opportunity than to have.
[1:31:50] Conversations, yeah.
[1:31:54] So.
[1:31:55] In my view, though, the only one that's really outstanding in my mind again is the assisted living. And so I kind of wanted to hit
[1:31:59] the details of those.
[1:32:03] In terms of.
[1:32:04] What?
[1:32:04] We're charging now.
[1:32:08] And and then.
[1:32:11] What the proposed?
[1:32:13] And we're looking at it, we're talking 40% then I mean the real element is the cost per unit.
[1:32:20] So at 40%, we're saying that's 300 bucks.
[1:32:22] A bed, essentially.
[1:32:24] And how does that compare with what we're charging now?
[1:32:28] And then?
[1:32:29] I'd want to look at.
[1:32:33] Equivalents.
[1:32:35] Our surrounding neighboring communities.
[1:32:37] Because it seemed to me when I looked at.
[1:32:39] But I did a little bit of my own research which.
[1:32:41] Not very deep.
[1:32:43] That that was going to be.
[1:32:45] Significantly higher than.
[1:32:47] Neighboring communities.
[1:32:49] So currently our base for a nursing, residential and personal care is a $200 base.
[1:32:58] And $44 per resident.
[1:33:00] The proposal would take that to a 330 base.
[1:33:05] Plus 299.
[1:33:06] 60 per bed.
[1:33:10] So it because.
[1:33:12] Because we're going from a resident.
[1:33:14] To a bed, it's hard to make a.
[1:33:18] Perfect apples to apples comparison the last.
[1:33:22] Sheet.
[1:33:24] Called assisted living comparisons.
[1:33:27] Also looks at.
[1:33:28] What we would be proposing?
[1:33:30] Versus where other cities are.
[1:33:35] I.
[1:33:38] And we would be.
[1:33:41] Our base would be higher.
[1:33:46] And at 40%?
[1:33:48] The disproportionate.
[1:33:51] Amount would be higher as well.
[1:33:53] I thought we were talking about doing it at 25%.
[1:33:56] So if we take it.
[1:33:57] Where we had left the conversation was it?
[1:34:00] 40 if we take it to 25.
[1:34:03] I had done this math somewhere, let me see if I can find it.
[1:34:07] I think it would take it from 299.
[1:34:12] To 180.
[1:34:18] And even that.
[1:34:20] Higher than everybody else, Yeah, we'd still be on top.
[1:34:23] It is.
[1:34:25] But our costs are higher than everyone else.
[1:34:28] Our costs relative to our neighbors.
[1:34:31] So looking at.
[1:34:33] The disproportionate impacts.
[1:34:36] That's what it.
[1:34:39] So S Jordans could be as high as 901.
[1:34:43] So they went from.
[1:34:44] They went to.
[1:34:48] 5%.
[1:34:51] Our costs are higher than Linden's.
[1:34:57] Murray charges a disproportionate fee only to group homes.
[1:35:02] Midvale does not charge a disproportionate fee for assisted living.
[1:35:07] And Mill Creek is.
[1:35:09] Limited it's $145 per bed with.
[1:35:13] A $10 disproportionate fee.
[1:35:18] Why are our costs?
[1:35:23] That that is, that would be another study, whether it is just the number of beds we have, whether it is.
[1:35:31] Practices within our homes? That would be hard to say.
[1:35:35] Well, it Could it be that Mill Creek and Cottonwood Heights haven't reevaluated?
[1:35:39] It absolutely could.
[1:35:41] It absolutely could that that would make more sense.
[1:35:44] Yeah, Cottonwood Heights is about to go through this same process.
[1:35:47] Understand, but they haven't done it quite yet.
[1:35:51] So yeah.
[1:35:55] Certainly for document 40 versus 25, I think it's pretty easy to knock down to 25 and not feel too bad about it because we're
[1:35:58] still on the high end of the market.
[1:36:02] Yeah.
[1:36:04] And then that would make.
[1:36:06] In terms of our overall budget, we would make it revenue neutral, revenue neutral because the other even though we're.
[1:36:12] It's getting significantly more revenues in this group.
[1:36:14] Were losing revenue and.
[1:36:16] In the other ones.
[1:36:17] Like for the renewal process exactly.
[1:36:20] Right.
[1:36:22] These fees are these, is this the renewal fee or is this the new fee?
[1:36:26] So.
[1:36:28] The disproportionate fee.
[1:36:30] Is regardless right?
[1:36:32] It is but because the base will go down.
[1:36:36] Many businesses will see a reduction, so the fee comparison.
[1:36:44] We'll give you an example of that. Let's just take automotive.
[1:36:48] Now I remember looking at that I wanted to compare the specific with the.
[1:36:53] Nursing homes.
[1:36:55] So that is about.
[1:36:57] 1/3 of the way down the.
[1:36:59] Page and that is the $200 base.
[1:37:02] Plus $44 per resident.
[1:37:05] Versus the.
[1:37:07] 330 base.
[1:37:11] Plus 299.
[1:37:13] For a renewal though, that base goes to 87.
[1:37:17] Plus 299.
[1:37:26] But that's the 299 at the 40%.
[1:37:30] Right, so it would be.
[1:37:32] 87 plus let's say 187.
[1:37:36] For the disproportion.
[1:37:39] OK.
[1:37:42] But also, but I'm thinking I'll I'm getting more comfortable with that.
[1:37:45] 25% number, even though it's a higher end of the market just in terms of the.
[1:37:50] Total.
[1:37:51] Cost per month for rental for those?
[1:37:55] I really wonder if Mill Creek and Cottonwood Heights do this if we would be more in the middle.
[1:38:00] Or like.
[1:38:02] More comparable to the market than what it looks like currently. Yeah, that's hard to predict, but.
[1:38:08] Just in terms of.
[1:38:09] We're starting to approach.
[1:38:11] The the higher end of the market as opposed to being double the market.
[1:38:14] At 299.
[1:38:15] Yeah, that's yeah.
[1:38:18] And I'm OK being at the higher end of the market.
[1:38:20] Because they were providing a lot of up.
[1:38:23] UFA services to those folks.
[1:38:25] But then you talk about.
[1:38:27] If you breakdown that annual cost.
[1:38:30] Prepared by month compared to the monthly rental.
[1:38:34] It becomes a small.
[1:38:35] Smaller percentage of the total.
[1:38:37] And it just feels more digestible.
[1:38:42] Yeah, yeah, I.
[1:38:47] I think I'm where you are.
[1:38:51] I'm seeing nods.
[1:38:53] Is everyone comfortable with that, at least as a starting place?
[1:38:57] For conversations, I think.
[1:39:00] For most of our business community, this will be.
[1:39:03] Received really well because it will mean a reduction.
[1:39:07] Or most businesses, right?
[1:39:10] And an equalization and a.
[1:39:14] Acceptance of more responsibility for their type of business when they are.
[1:39:18] Occurring more constant to us.
[1:39:20] Yeah. And I think you can make a case for especially for nursing homes where they're.
[1:39:24] They are using our services very regularly.
[1:39:28] Yeah. I'm also OK with the level of subsidy we're making, because they are.
[1:39:32] They're a business, but they're also a.
[1:39:34] Replacement for our residents.
[1:39:36] Yeah. And they do get the residential exemption in terms of the property tax side.
[1:39:41] So that I think we.
[1:39:42] We do have some justification for.
[1:39:45] Providing some subsidy there.
[1:39:47] Yeah, but we've been.
[1:39:49] Perhaps over subsidizing?
[1:39:52] Yeah, I would agree with that.
[1:39:54] Are we going to run into any problems? I know we talked about before that we have to.
[1:40:00] If we pull nursing homes out of the.
[1:40:03] Generating.
[1:40:04] Income discount.
[1:40:06] Are we going to run into problems?
[1:40:08] On that end.
[1:40:10] In terms of.
[1:40:11] Over our overall revenue or just from a fairness standpoint?
[1:40:17] I mean, I mean I.
[1:40:18] Think we can?
[1:40:21] I think some of the points that the mayor just made.
[1:40:25] Will be sufficient.
[1:40:28] We'll need to look at that, but.
[1:40:31] At first blush, I feel comfortable with that.
[1:40:36] I feel like it's really truly a legislative decision that's a judgment call, the legislative body.
[1:40:42] As long as it's.
[1:40:43] You know, it's got some rationale to it.
[1:40:47] OK. All right. Well, I appreciate the direction. Thank you and we'll.
[1:40:52] Will incorporate this into the tentative budget and I'm sure it won't be the last time we talk about it.
[1:40:59] Gina, thank you and for everyone, I mean, I know we.
[1:41:01] Contracted out with.
[1:41:03] Fred for a lot of this work, but it's, it's been a lot of work and we appreciate.
[1:41:07] OK. Thank you.
[1:41:09] OK, Anything else? Otherwise we'll proceed to.
[1:41:13] Retreat goals, yes.
[1:41:15] So in your packet is a summary of what?
[1:41:18] I think where I think we landed on our.
[1:41:22] Our goals for the upcoming year.
[1:41:25] I just wanted you to take a look at them and make sure that I got them all correct.
[1:41:31] Because as you'll remember from the retreat, this was at the end of the night and.
[1:41:37] Handwriting got a lot less clearer and we didn't have a chance to go over them before we adjourned.
[1:41:44] So our priority, our first priority remains that we are a safe community.
[1:41:50] We.
[1:41:51] We prioritized regular predictable emergency response training as well as.
[1:41:58] Replacing our soon to be leaving us Emergency Management Coordinator.
[1:42:04] Talked about a couple of sidewalk fill in projects.
[1:42:08] Working with UPD to make sure that children in particular are aware of the new state law and restrictions around.
[1:42:17] E bikes and E motorcycles and the whole variety of.
[1:42:24] Toys that are available and that we sometimes see on our roads.
[1:42:28] We talked about opportunities for fire hydrant maintenance.
[1:42:33] And then working to continue addressing perceived speeding.
[1:42:38] Anything else?
[1:42:39] In that area.
[1:42:44] Priority two.
[1:42:46] Excellent public assets and infrastructure.
[1:42:49] Executing our plan for City Hall began working on.
