[0:04] How we doing?

[0:05] Stephanie.

[0:07] We're good to go.

[0:08] OK. All right. I have 6:00, so we're going to proceed.

[0:14] We do have.

[0:15] Three meetings tonight.

[0:17] The first two should be pretty quick.

[0:20] The first would be the meeting of the board, the Redevelopment Agency.

[0:25] Who'll be taking up just adopting the?

[0:27] Final budget for next year.

[0:29] As well as a resolution regarding the affordable housing agreement.

[0:34] At the Royal Holiday Hills project.

[0:37] And then we'll proceed to the LBA or the local building authority.

[0:42] Where also we just have one item business, which is just that the adoption of next year's budget for that.

[0:48] Organization.

[0:51] No one changes seats across these organizations. We're all.

[0:55] Your City Council also constitutes the board of the RDA.

[0:59] And the LBA.

[1:00] By statute, we didn't just.

[1:02] For convenience, appoint ourselves we.

[1:04] Have to fill those roles so.

[1:07] And then, so after the LBA, then we'll proceed to City Council.

[1:11] The first opportunity for public comment will be.

[1:14] Item number 2.

[1:15] When we get to City Council meeting, so I apologize, we just have to.

[1:18] We want to get these two other little meetings out of the way first so we can then get into the meat of the.

[1:24] Of the meet of tonight's meeting.

[1:25] So with that.

[1:27] I'll hand it over to.

[1:29] Council member slash Chairman Gray.

[1:31] Who will direct the?

[1:33] Board of Directors.

[1:35] Meeting for the RDA.

[1:37] So I'd like to call to order the Board of Directors meeting of the City of Holiday Redevelopment Agency and we will start with the

[1:41] pledge.

[1:49] I pledge allegiance to the flag.

[1:51] Of the United States of America.

[1:54] And to the Republic.

[1:56] Or which it stands.

[1:57] One Nation.

[1:59] Under God.

[2:00] Indivisible.

[2:01] With liberty and justice.

[2:03] Earl.

[2:07] All right.

[2:09] So the first item that we need to consider is the RDA resolution adopting a final budget for the fiscal year 2627.

[2:17] Do we have any other information? We went over this last week. Any other information we need to cover or anything we need to

[2:21] review? Any questions?

[2:26] All right, we'll take a motion.

[2:29] Madam Chair, I move approval of RDA Resolution 2026-04.

[2:34] Adopting the final budget for fiscal year 202627.

[2:37] For the RDA.

[2:39] Second. All right, so motion in a second.

[2:43] Uh, Chair Sundwall.

[2:45] I.

[2:48] Chair, Durham.

[2:50] Yes.

[2:51] Chair Fotheringham.

[2:52] Yes.

[2:53] Chair Quinn.

[2:54] Yes.

[2:55] And I vote yes.

[2:57] Right motion passes.

[2:59] All right. Second item to consider is resolution amending the affordable housing agreement with KMW development for the Royal

[3:04] Holiday Hills project. Do we have any?

[3:10] Questions or things that we need to discuss?

[3:13] For that.

[3:15] Chair, just for the benefit of the audience, just want to let.

[3:19] Just a brief description. We're also handling the same.

[3:23] Amendment in the City Council meeting on that agenda.

[3:28] Just to remind the Council.

[3:30] And any who are curious that this is an amendment to an existing agreement.

[3:34] The nature of the amendment.

[3:36] Is to diversify the.

[3:38] Unit mix.

[3:40] In the development of Building E.

[3:43] To be a little more diverse in terms of the unit sizes, in terms of the mix.

[3:49] This is one of those agreements in my view.

[3:51] That's in the interest. It was proposed by the the developer.

[3:55] It's in the interest of holiday as well, so it's nice to get.

[3:58] An agreement where?

[3:59] It's a win win for both sides as opposed to a.

[4:02] Middle ground between competing interests so.

[4:06] You love to have those ones that are a win, win.

[4:09] So with that.

[4:11] I'd move approval of RDA resolution 202605 amending the Affordable Housing agreement.

[4:16] With KMW development for the Royal Holidays project.

[4:20] Is there a second?

[4:21] Second. All right, see a motion in a second.

[4:25] Chair Sunwall.

[4:26] Yes.

[4:28] Chair Durham, Yes.

[4:29] Chair Fotheringham, Yes.

[4:31] Chair Quinn.

[4:31] Yes.

[4:32] And I vote yes.

[4:34] So the motion passes. Now we will adjourn the RDA meeting.

[4:37] Get a motion to adjourn the RDA meeting.

[4:41] 2nd.

[4:42] All in favor.

[4:43] Aye.

[4:43] All right, the meeting adjourned.

[4:47] OK, I will queue up the.

[4:50] Called award of the meeting of the local building authority.

[4:54] We have one item which is the adopting the final budget.

[4:58] For the coming year.

[4:59] I'm happy to take a motion unless there's any questions.

[5:06] Mr. Mayor, I.

[5:07] Motion to adopt LBA Resolution 202603. Adopting a final budget for the fiscal Year 202627.

[5:16] 2nd, we have a motion in a second Councilmember Gray.

[5:19] Yes, Councilmember Quinn.

[5:20] Yes, Councilmember Durham.

[5:22] Yes, Councilmember Sunwall, Yes, and Chair votes yes.

[5:25] And we're done with that. I'll move the motion to adjourn.

[5:27] Thank you very much.

[5:29] We have a motion to second all in favor.

[5:30] Aye.

[5:32] We are adjourned LBA and we'll take up now.

[5:36] Our City Council.

[5:37] Meeting agenda.

[5:40] Oh, I'm sorry, I should have checked with Stephanie. Were we OK to proceed or?

[5:43] OK.

[5:45] I just get on a roll, you know, and.

[5:48] OK, so welcome to City Council for June 11th. We've got a full agenda.

[5:54] Now, as we move through these agenda items, some of these may appear.

[5:59] Fairly weighty.

[6:01] That does not necessarily mean that we're going to, we're necessarily going to spend a whole lot of time on them primarily

[6:05] because.

[6:08] We are at the end.

[6:10] Of a long process with a lot of these, for instance the budget.

[6:15] Budget preparation starts in January.

[6:18] Not only with our staff.

[6:20] But also with UPD and.

[6:22] And lots of committee meetings.

[6:25] Negotiations back and forth, which then culminates.

[6:28] Into the budget document.

[6:29] And of course, every.

[6:31] Step of these processes are in open public meetings.

[6:35] And.

[6:36] So we we certainly can have as much discussion as we would like to have on any agenda item.

[6:41] But don't be surprised if some of these things which seem weighty, we just go ahead and vote on them because.

[6:46] This is the.

[6:47] Culmination of.

[6:49] Long processes.

[6:51] So heads up on that.

[6:54] So first item on the agenda is public comment.

[6:58] We don't have any public hearings tonight.

[7:00] And so public comment is open so you can speak to us about anything under the sun.

[7:06] Please keep you. If you'd like to come make public comment, please come to the podium. State your name and address.

[7:11] Try to keep your comments to 3 minutes or less. We've got a full agenda.

[7:14] But we're happy to hear your concerns.

[7:17] Public comment is now open.

[7:26] My name is Andy.

[7:27] White, I live at 5690.

[7:29] Pheasant S Pheasant Lane.

[7:33] Recently, the mail has been coming.

[7:36] Instead of the just Pleasant Lane, which has been for 40 years.

[7:41] A lot of people.

[7:42] In our.

[7:43] Community, uh.

[7:44] Walk in the evenings or on weekends.

[7:47] And a lot of them.

[7:48] Walk not very busy streets.

[7:51] And a significant number, I think.

[7:54] Walk along canal trails.

[7:57] There are two trails in particular I'd like to address tonight.

[8:01] I've been walking, I can only vouch for people on them for about 39 years.

[8:06] For that I wasn't here.

[8:08] So.

[8:11] Sometimes it's a.

[8:12] Go to the store sometime just to visit.

[8:14] Chat with a neighbor. Walk the dog.

[8:16] Those sorts of things.

[8:18] Recently, two of those trails have been blocked off.

[8:22] One on Far Down Ave. about 20.

[8:25] Roughly 22nd East.

[8:27] And another one on Arbor Lane.

[8:30] Again about.

[8:31] 22nd East.

[8:33] And I'd like to read just a little bit from the Utah Prescriptive Rd. statute.

[8:41] When it has been.

[8:43] Continuously used as a public thoroughfare for a period of 10 years.

[8:50] Used by the public is sufficient.

[8:52] It is not necessary to show that the property owner intended.

[8:56] To dedicate that roadway.

[9:01] Any public.

[9:02] Right of way may be established by public use, including roads for vehicle travel.

[9:08] As well as trails.

[9:09] Used by pedestrians.

[9:14] May the public use be stopped or interrupted?

[9:16] If the public use is interrupted or stopped.

[9:19] Before a period of 10 continuous years has passed.

[9:22] The roadway cannot be claimed as a public right away.

[9:29] The two situations that I just mentioned far down an Arbor.

[9:34] Have changed significantly in the last.

[9:37] About two months.

[9:39] One had a chain link fence.

[9:41] Put around access.

[9:42] Granted it is gated.

[9:45] It's not chain link, it's steel bar.

[9:48] And padlocked.

[9:49] So I'm sure.

[9:50] Irrigation people have.

[9:52] Keys to that.

[9:54] Because their gate.

[9:56] Is about 15 feet behind that.

[9:59] I've been unable to determine exactly who owns.

[10:02] That what looks like a driveway.

[10:04] Before that.

[10:06] And.

[10:09] The city could search that better than I can search that.

[10:14] And I would like you to.

[10:16] Consider that.

[10:17] And look and see.

[10:20] What can be done?

[10:22] Thank you. I can tell you on Arbor Lane that ones owned by Salt Lake City Public Utilities.

[10:28] Not sure about farting.

[10:42] Well, if you just don't come in front of me, Gina, then she can provide it to us.

[10:47] Our Stephanie over here, the city.

[10:50] Yeah. Thank you.

[11:07] And public comment remains open, please.

[11:13] Hi, my name is Lori Dunn.

[11:16] I've got baseball hat here.

[11:18] 5027 S Memory Lane speaking on the same issue.

[11:22] I'm here representing those of us who live on the canal.

[11:26] The gate that he's talking about.

[11:29] Has been there since I've been there.

[11:32] On Arbor Lane.

[11:33] I've been there nine years.

[11:36] Somebody has vandalized that gait. At this point, they've cut the chain link fence and moved it back.

[11:41] Which I believe is inappropriate and as somebody who lives on.

[11:44] The canal.

[11:46] I am not good with having public access there.

[11:50] Especially with the.

[11:51] Additional people that are going to be.

[11:54] There in the Cottonwood Mall area.

[11:56] Currently, the problems that we're seeing as people who live on.

[12:00] The canal.

[12:01] So those who like to have that.

[12:03] Access available are those who don't live on the canal.

[12:06] Those of us who live on the canal are seeing vandalism.

[12:10] Drug deals behind us?

[12:12] There is an area.

[12:14] That is, kind of.

[12:15] A wooded area that is just.

[12:18] Uninhabited.

[12:20] Property.

[12:21] Where we have seen drug paraphernalia.

[12:23] Condoms.

[12:24] Things like that.

[12:25] That is right in my backyard.

[12:27] I've got vandalism on my.

[12:29] On my.

[12:30] Brick wall.

[12:32] We have.

[12:34] Dogs.

[12:35] That.

[12:36] Leaving.

[12:38] Their dog stuff there.

[12:42] And so I'm I have a problem.

[12:44] With somebody vandalizing the city utility.

[12:47] Fence even though.

[12:50] They're unhappy that they can't access my backyard. In my opinion, that's my backyard, even though that's.

[12:55] The Public Utilities.

[12:57] They own that, They own what's behind us, and the only reason that that access is there is for them to access the Public Utilities

[13:00] that people have.

[13:04] Since use.

[13:05] For public access.

[13:07] I believe that that is.

[13:11] Detrimental to those of us, those of us who live there have noticed all of these problems and have seen all of these problems. We

[13:15] have no interest in opening that up, especially with.

[13:20] New people who are coming to.

[13:24] The large number of people that are going to be in the cottonwoods.

[13:28] Mall area so.

[13:30] Anyway, there are.

[13:31] I don't know of a single person who lives on there.

[13:33] Who's OK with that access?

[13:35] So that is my comment on the access.

[13:37] Thanks. Thank you.

[13:44] My name is Kim Duffy, I live at 2195.

[13:47] East Walker Lane.

[13:49] And I'm speaking on the same topic we've used that trail for.

[13:54] 39 years.

[13:55] And, umm.

[13:58] There was a while there was a period of time where there was a little wooden bridge so that you could.

[14:03] Walk around the fence on Arbor Lane and still make.

[14:07] A big loop.

[14:08] And people.

[14:09] People really like to do that and I know the city.

[14:12] Seriously considered.

[14:13] Canal trails a few years back.

[14:16] And seemed like it got right up to.

[14:20] The finish line and then backed off. I'm not sure exactly what the reasons were I'm.

[14:24] Expecting that it was probably.

[14:26] Threats of lawsuits.

[14:28] From the people that lived along the canal.

[14:30] But I would suggest that.

[14:33] We look at how Murray City has dealt with it.

[14:35] They've got an extensive.

[14:37] Canal Trail.

[14:39] That's very successful.

[14:40] And.

[14:41] I'd be interested to hear from Murray City.

[14:44] If they've seen an uptick.

[14:46] In crime, since they opened that canal to the public and they've gone so far as to, you know, gravel it and so on.

[14:53] I don't think.

[14:54] Very many people who are in favor of this canal are looking at making any improvements. No lighting, no surface.

[15:00] They just want it not to be.

[15:03] Locked at the end, so you.

[15:04] Have to turn around and and go back home again so.

[15:07] I would encourage the city to look at.

[15:11] Maybe some evidence, some data from other cities who have opened?

[15:14] Their canals to walks to see if.

[15:17] It's had a detrimental effect.

[15:19] Thank you.

[15:20] Thank you.

[15:29] Hi, thank you for.

[15:31] Hearing our comments tonight, My name is Patty Sansom.

[15:34] I live at 4985.

[15:37] South Memory Lane.

[15:39] My backyard is.

[15:41] Direct access to that canal.

[15:43] Trail that is being discussed.

[15:48] Just a little bit of brief history on my end.

[15:52] The home that I.

[15:53] Live in.

[15:54] Still live in.

[15:55] Was purchased in 1950.

[15:58] So I think.

[16:00] Maybe out of a lot of people who are here.

[16:04] I've been a resident for a very long time.

[16:09] The gate.

[16:10] That.

[16:11] Was.

[16:14] In the last year or two.

[16:16] And I I.

[16:18] I don't think you want documentation from my videos.

[16:21] But I personally have experienced.

[16:24] People's dogs entering my yard.

[16:27] To deposit whatever they want in their yard. And then I hear them walking along the canal.

[16:32] And whistling for their dog.

[16:35] That's not safe for me and my children.

[16:38] My fence.

[16:40] That.

[16:40] Was installed many, many years ago.

[16:43] And it's a 10 foot.

[16:46] Cement wall.

[16:48] Was not.

[16:48] Allowed to.

[16:50] Block the.

[16:52] Telephone poles.

[16:53] So hence there is space.

[16:56] For people to then.

[16:58] Get into my backyard.

[17:00] And to use it as an access.

[17:03] I have had people.

[17:04] People use.

[17:05] That small entrance.

[17:08] To walk from the canal.

[17:10] To the street of Memory Lane.

[17:12] Adults.

[17:13] And children.

[17:15] So what I had to do?

[17:17] Was put up.

[17:18] Temporary, you know.

[17:20] Kind of.

[17:21] Fence like gate.

[17:23] Between.

[17:24] The Rockwall.

[17:26] And the next person's fence.

[17:28] To be able to have my own private.

[17:29] Privacy.

[17:31] I am against.

[17:33] Having.

[17:34] Those kinds of things, One, because I've had invasion of personal.

[17:38] Property.

[17:38] From other people, from animals and people using that.

[17:42] I have also experienced.

[17:44] Yes, vandalism.

[17:47] Graffiti.

[17:49] Part of my cement.

[17:51] Wall being broken.

[17:54] Where I have to fix that myself?

[17:57] So I am personally against that.

[18:00] 14.

[18:03] Privacy of the citizens that do live there.

[18:05] And two.

[18:06] Yes, I have.

[18:08] Neighbors who have stated that they have had.

[18:10] Drug deals going on.

[18:12] Behind.

[18:13] Their homes. So yes, I'm worried for those.

[18:16] Types of things.

[18:18] And easy access for criminals to 1.

[18:22] Get through my area.

[18:23] An escape.

[18:26] You know.

[18:27] Without, you know.

[18:31] I'm just saying.

[18:32] Easy access for them to access from one side of the street to another.

[18:36] And I'm not.

[18:38] I do not want.

[18:39] People walking on both sides of my property.

[18:42] I do believe that we.

[18:44] We deserve some privacy.

[18:47] Thank you.

[18:57] Hi. Hi. I'm Sally Browning.

[19:00] 2318 Fieldres Drive.

[19:03] I can't speak to what she's talking about, I only know the trail from.

[19:06] Far down to 6200 S.

[19:10] And that has been.

[19:12] A lovely trail.

[19:14] And that has brought.

[19:15] A community of people who walk their dogs or just walk the trail.

[19:19] And we take care of each other and try and support each other, and several of them are here now.

[19:25] And it's been.

[19:26] A nice little.

[19:27] Bit of greenery?

[19:29] And joy. And.

[19:30] Quiet. So you could actually go from far down to 62.

[19:35] And go to the store called the store.

[19:37] And then go back.

[19:39] Without having to walk along 6200 S, which is really quite dangerous.

[19:45] The fence that was put up.

[19:47] Also cut off a friend's driveway, which is.

[19:51] Rude, I think.

[19:53] But it's just been a lovely community building thing to be able to walk along the trail.

[19:59] And it's just.

[20:01] Really nice.

[20:03] Thank you.

[20:14] Hi, my name is Shawnee Roberts.

[20:16] I live on 1921 E Tenunli circle.

[20:20] Speaking on the same issue.

[20:22] I've lived there.

[20:24] Six years.

[20:25] And.

[20:26] When we first moved in, I had a hard time finding.

[20:28] A nice place to walk my dog because if you're familiar with that area, there are a lot of dead end streets. There's not really a

[20:33] good place to do a full.

[20:37] Loop until I found the canal.

[20:39] Trail.

[20:41] As Sally mentioned.

[20:43] And there there are several people in this room who I met just from walking my dog on.

[20:48] This trail, it's, you know, it's.

[20:50] A place where?

[20:52] People establish community and.

[20:55] Socialize, I do understand.

[20:58] The concerns about privacy and.

[21:03] About.

[21:04] Maybe crime I have never witnessed.

[21:06] I've walked this trail every day for six years. I've never witnessed.

[21:10] Any crime there but I do.

[21:11] Understand their concerns.

[21:13] And and I think that a solution probably would be.

[21:19] Better upkeep and maintenance rather than completely.

[21:22] Closing.

[21:23] It off umm.

[21:25] There just really are not a lot of green spaces I think.

[21:28] For for me to walk somewhere else.

[21:30] With my dogs that.

[21:31] Is a great space and not along at the zeroed I would have to.

[21:34] To drive somewhere and I don't think that's.

[21:36] You know what we want for?

[21:38] Dog owners is to have to drive.

[21:40] Somewhere just to get a little bit of green space.

[21:45] So I would like to see the canal trail opened again and.

[21:49] Maybe just with?

[21:50] Better upkeep, bit maintenance.

[21:52] Thanks.

[22:01] I take my hat off, but I'm bald.

[22:05] Anyway, my name is Mike Neuberger. I live on memory.

[22:11] 1550.

[22:13] South.

[22:16] My my lot.

[22:19] Backs right up to the canal.

[22:21] I don't have the luxury of a tall fence. I have.

[22:24] Shrubs and so my backyard is not private.

[22:29] People can see and.

[22:31] I get a lot of noise from what's going on. We have a lot of people that walk.

[22:36] Memory lane.

[22:37] In front of the house.

[22:39] Which is just fine.

[22:41] But to bring more people to the back of the house.

[22:44] And you know.

[22:44] Your backyard is supposed to be a private thing.

[22:47] You go in your backyard.

[22:49] Hoping.

[22:50] That people won't.

[22:52] Looking see what you're doing.

[22:54] And you have a little private and quiet.

[22:57] So I'm very much against this.

[23:00] I think most people on the canal.

[23:03] Aren't happy with it?

[23:04] People are.

[23:05] Earned on the canal.

[23:07] It doesn't affect them at the way it does the people that live there.

[23:10] So I appreciate you giving that some content.

[23:13] Generation and thank you.

[23:24] Hi, I'm Jeanette Baldy. I live at.

[23:27] 61.

[23:28] 73 S.

[23:30] Vanessa Cove, which is approximately 21.

[23:33] 75 E.

[23:34] I've been walking the trail.

[23:36] Between 6200.

[23:38] And far down for five years now.

[23:40] It's very safe.

[23:42] It's safe for your dog, it's safe for me.

[23:45] As they've mentioned, they meet a lot of people.

[23:48] But on either side of that canal, both all of the properties along the east side and the West side.

[23:53] Are all fenced.

[23:55] So there's not a problem in egress without respect.

[23:59] That wouldn't be welcomed.

[24:02] As also someone has said.

[24:04] There is a person at the very, very end of that trail in the north side.

[24:08] That has lost his view.

[24:11] His whole access to his the east side of his house.

[24:14] And he was a very welcoming individual.

[24:17] If you had an animal.

[24:18] You're welcome into his house.

[24:20] And you could meet with.

[24:22] Other people.

[24:23] But the trail itself is used by so many people.

[24:26] And then I've heard also that there have been problems about drug deals or that type of thing.

[24:30] They're not that many.

[24:31] I probably walk it every other day. Five years now.

[24:35] And there are not that many drug deals that I don't have none.

[24:38] And I've only encountered one person.

[24:41] That might have been a little bit skeptical or a little bit scary.

[24:44] That trail is the nicest trail.

[24:46] Please open it back it up for us.

[24:49] Thank you.

[25:01] Hi, I'm Robert Robb. I live at 6149 S.

[25:05] 2090 E.

[25:08] And my comments are in the form of a.

[25:10] Questions for the Council.

[25:14] Are you in a position to?

[25:16] Influence.

[25:18] The closure.

[25:20] Or opening.

[25:21] These canal.

[25:24] Pathways that we're talking about.

[25:27] Or is that something that?

[25:29] Belongs to the.

[25:30] County purview otherwise.

[25:34] Generally during public comment we don't get into back and.

[25:37] Debate. It's your opportunity to be heard.

[25:40] But usually when you want to engage in discussion and debate, we don't do it.

[25:44] During public.

[25:45] Comment, but you can do it one-on-one.

[25:47] With us or in a separately scheduled meeting. I just thought it might be helpful for everyone here to know whether or not you can.

[25:54] Now I'll make a comment about the nature of our.

[25:57] Involvement with the trail.

[25:59] At the end of public comment.

[26:02] Well, go ahead and pose your questions though.

[26:05] That was my comment.

[26:06] OK. That was the question.

[26:08] But apparently it can't be answered so.

[26:18] I'm Paul Marlowe. I live at 6173 S, 2090 E.

[26:23] Just off 62nd my comments about the shutting off.

[26:26] Of the access along the canal from 62nd.

[26:30] North.

[26:32] Recently.

[26:33] Those count canals have been open.

[26:36] For more than 50 years.

[26:38] Without.

[26:40] Any problems if you go down there and look, I lived here in the 60s and 70s, That was all open. They were not shut off.

[26:47] Now all of a sudden a couple of people down at the end built new homes.

[26:52] They want to shut it off, they put a gate on their property and then they shut off the canal.

[26:57] I won't quote what the gentleman said here on the laws of seven and 10 years.

[27:02] But for some reason.

[27:05] The police got involved.

[27:06] The county got involved, they got their lawyers involved, and all of a sudden the canal was shut off.

[27:12] It makes no sense. There's a fence on the West side.

[27:16] There are only two gates.

[27:18] One is controlled by one individual and they just leave it open.

[27:22] And one is there by the winter school.

[27:24] And that one's always open. The kids come in and play, they fish in the canal, they do all kinds of things.

[27:30] But since it's been shut off, you can no longer walk.

[27:34] From 62nd up to Fardon.

[27:37] Just because two individuals up there wanted.

[27:41] Driveway put in.

[27:42] So they could control it.

[27:44] They put a gate on their own property.

[27:46] So nobody can still go into their property.

[27:49] But they were able to shut off.

[27:51] The whole canal.

[27:52] Canal at that end.

[27:54] And I don't understand.

[27:56] Why there hasn't been some kind of a city which you're here protecting us from the county and everybody else?

[28:04] Why something isn't being done by the city for the residents here? Who's who's electing you to watch out for us from the county?

[28:11] So that's my question is.

[28:14] Hopefully you will.

[28:15] Get into this. Get the attorneys.

[28:17] Involved, uh.

[28:18] And get that corrected because that property.

[28:22] Was open for years and years and years.

[28:25] With no.

[28:26] No stopping to it.

[28:28] Until they built those new houses.

[28:30] And that changed it.

[28:31] Thank you.

[28:44] My name is Steve Glaser. I live at 2052 E Arbor Lane.

[28:49] I'm not going to say anything about the canal.

[28:53] I'm here to talk about.

[28:54] The Cottonwood Mall slash Holiday Hills.

[28:58] Being on Arbor Lane, I'm directly across the street from where this new development is.

[29:03] It's been going on for several years and.

[29:06] I never expected to be thrilled by it all, but.

[29:08] It's been fine.

[29:10] Until the last few months where it's felt like.

[29:14] The compliance.

[29:16] Of the constructors.

[29:18] Construction companies with our ordinances.

[29:21] Has gone downhill.

[29:23] And when I've.

[29:27] Made complaints with the city. I felt like there hasn't been any responsiveness.

[29:34] Sorry, Steve was.

[29:35] Be regarded to.

[29:36] Dust mitigation or specifically?

[29:39] I'm going to get into that.

[29:41] OK, so.

[29:43] The first thing on April.

[29:45] 17th I filled out a form.

[29:48] With a citizen.

[29:49] Complaint or request form.

[29:52] Regarding the wall.

[29:54] That got put in by the dog.

[29:56] Park on Memory Lane.

[29:58] It used to be a few foot tall chain link fence.

[30:01] Is now a 6 foot tall wall.

[30:04] And.

[30:08] I was there one time.

[30:10] Walking along memory lane in the winter time.

[30:13] When and there was snow on the street.

[30:17] And there is a car that failed to make the turn and just went.

[30:20] Straight and if I had been.

[30:22] It happened 30 seconds sooner.

[30:24] I would have been mowed down.

[30:26] But in particular with the wall there now, I would not have.

[30:30] Any chance to get out of the way? At least not by going in that direction.

[30:34] And when I look at the city code.

[30:37] 13.76 Point 710.

[30:41] I don't know what kind of yard this would be classified as.

[30:44] But as a front yard.

[30:48] At when it's constructed by the road, it can only be 4 feet tall if it's considered a corner side yard.

[30:55] It could only be 5 feet tall.

[30:57] If they want a six foot tall wall, it should be two feet back.

[31:01] And so that's one issue, for example.

[31:03] Second issue was indeed dust.

[31:07] And I made.

[31:09] I filled out a request form on May 4th. I've also.

[31:12] Left a voicemail for the code compliance officer.

[31:17] For the.

[31:21] Section of the development alongside Memory Lane north of the cemetery.

[31:27] I have not seen any active dust control.

[31:30] The easiest thing to do?

[31:32] Would be for the vehicles that are driving on dirt roads just to wet down those roads.

[31:37] And that is?

[31:39] One major source of a dust.

[31:41] Is when they're driving on those.

[31:44] Dealing with the dirt piles, dealing with when they're dumping the soil and so forth.

[31:49] This isn't my area of expertise.

[31:51] I'm assuming that.

[31:53] There are other that there are ways to at least mitigate this.

[31:57] But there are huge plumes of dust that are coming up whenever there's any of this activity along there.

[32:02] And I'd like to see that addressed.

[32:06] The other two issues that I have.

[32:08] I have not brought forward to the city before because I hadn't gotten any response back.

[32:12] I don't know, maybe I should have.

[32:14] Spoken with Steve on this.

[32:18] One of them is the starting time of construction.

[32:22] Where by code it shouldn't be before 8:00.

[32:25] And there's always been.

[32:28] Some going on before 8.

[32:31] And.

[32:32] I can deal with that.

[32:33] But I've seen it as early as 6:20 in the morning now.

[32:38] And I like to be able to enjoy my yard. I like to be able to enjoy my neighborhood.

[32:42] Have some peace and quiet and enjoy the birds and so forth.

[32:46] And.

[32:48] If that can be brought back and it actually has gotten better over the past couple of weeks.

[32:54] Again, that's just.

[32:55] In the ebb and flow.

[32:57] The fourth thing that I have.

[33:00] Is I don't know if there's actually been any violation or not on that and that is with the city tree ordinance.

[33:08] But there have been a whole series of trees along memory lane that have been cut down.

[33:12] There are three left.

[33:14] There used to be in excess of a dozen.

[33:17] And.

[33:20] You know, one of the trees that was cut down and this is when I noticed everything actually was one where Western kingbirds have

[33:25] been nesting there every year and I really enjoyed.

[33:30] Hearing them, seeing them.

[33:33] And someone asked what kind of birds western king birds was what they were.

[33:41] But you know, these were trees that were right by the road.

[33:46] They weren't going to be.

[33:48] And any building footprint there is an exception allowed.

[33:52] For if there's going to be a driveway, but they say.

[33:55] That exceptions.

[33:56] You know they can be cut down only if there's no way to.

[34:00] Configure things.

[34:02] Where the trees still remain.

[34:04] And I'm skeptical that.

[34:07] You know, 80% of the trees.

[34:10] Had to go in order for that.

[34:12] And then?

[34:14] You know, so in this case I don't know.

[34:17] It may well have been that all the ordinances were followed.

[34:21] But I don't think the city did a good job.

[34:24] In terms of what they were requiring of the development.

[34:27] And then there's also the section to the West of memory lane.

[34:32] Where there is a whole.

[34:35] Major area that was completely.

[34:38] Tree filled.

[34:39] And that's all been cut down.

[34:43] Again, I don't know, maybe that was.

[34:45] Building footprints and couldn't be avoided.

[34:48] I would just like to see our ordinances upheld.

[34:50] And when it says and says something about it.

[34:53] For someone to get back to us.

[34:55] So thank you.

[34:56] Thank you, Steve.

[35:05] Even though it's for public.

[35:12] I unfortunately will take my hat off. I've been at a baseball game.

[35:15] My name is Ron Dunn. I live on memory lane.

[35:17] 5027.

[35:19] You know, walking is a wonderful thing and we've heard from a lot of wonderful people who.

[35:24] Like to walk and I don't have a problem with them walking, but when you open up something.

[35:29] You open it up to everybody and there is evidence off of Arbor Lane.

[35:33] Behind our House of.

[35:36] Of illegal activity.

[35:37] And that's unfortunate. And so we don't need to go and.

[35:43] You know, and investigate that. I've picked up a lot of stuff. So if you were to send policemen there, I've picked up.

[35:49] A lot of.

[35:50] Paraffin, drug paraphernalia and such like that so that kids don't get involved with it.

[35:56] Also.

[35:57] Walking dogs are great, but when you walk dogs out in the front yard of somebody and it takes a dump on your lawn, they usually

[36:01] have a plastic bag and they take care of it.

[36:06] When you go in an area that is.

[36:08] In the wild and when you go and it's out of sight, out of mind.

[36:12] I've also picked up.

[36:13] Piles and piles and piles of *** ****.

[36:16] That stinks in the summertime.

[36:19] And, you know, and I get that, you know, you're out in the open and.

[36:22] I wouldn't pick it up either.

[36:24] So.

[36:25] I my concern is that if the type of people.

[36:29] That would tear down a fence or ones that want to access it. That's not a really good thing either.

[36:36] And.

[36:38] I know it's. I know it's property that's owned by the.

[36:41] Utility districts, and I think they put up a fence for a reason. I don't think anybody.

[36:47] Would would doubt that. But anyway so my my concern is.

[36:50] Along the memory lane I we've heard a lot of in an area which I have absolutely no idea about. I don't know a thing about.

[36:58] The trails down at Fardon and maybe that's.

[37:00] Working fine.

[37:02] But it's dark.

[37:03] It's extremely dark in holiday and it's extremely dark in our backyard.

[37:08] And the last thing we want is.

[37:10] You know a lip trail and in the absence of light.

[37:14] Things happen.

[37:15] And yeah, it's been there 50 years, 50 years ago, you let your kids.

[37:19] Drive down, you know, ride their bikes.

[37:22] Miles and miles away. Unfortunately we live in an area.

[37:25] And time when.

[37:27] People don't.

[37:28] Obey the law the way they did 50 years ago. And so.

[37:31] With children and grandchildren I'm concerned about.

[37:35] People who have.

[37:36] Hopped our fence and all of the things we found.

[37:40] Right now, if you're to go there, there's graffiti on our wall and so there's.

[37:44] Great people who walk.

[37:46] And I'm.

[37:47] You know.

[37:49] But when you open up a gate.

[37:51] And at some point in time, it's going to be a problem.

[37:53] Thank you.

[38:07] Jeff Wilwright I.

[38:09] At 6007 S 2230 E.

[38:13] I've lived in the holiday area for.

[38:16] 48 years now.

[38:20] My children.

[38:21] Used to walk that section of the road from.

[38:24] The canal from.

[38:25] Far down.

[38:27] To 6200.

[38:29] They used to ride their bikes to go over to the store.

[38:33] Now I walk it all the time because I've got a little dog that.

[38:36] Tells me that's where I'm going.

[38:39] And we walk that.

[38:41] And we do miss the fact that we can't.

[38:44] Take that over there because.

[38:46] Walking down 6200 is.

[38:49] Scary at best.

[38:52] Especially when you got a dog with you.

[38:54] On a leash.

[38:56] And no sidewalks up at the top.

[39:03] The people.

[39:04] The bed gates there for a long time, but that was to keep.

[39:09] Vehicle traffic out of there.

[39:12] So that weren't.

[39:13] Driving trucks and.

[39:17] Their cars down the road.

[39:19] But people walked at it.

[39:21] For my tenure there.

[39:24] And it is an enjoyable place to go. We see ducks.

[39:29] In the river.

[39:31] Winters Water.

[39:33] And it's.

[39:35] We'd like to see it still be open for.

[39:38] Public use.

[39:39] Thank you.

[39:46] OK anyone else for public comment?

[39:50] Sure.

[39:52] His name, address and.

[39:53] Steven, 6096.

[39:55] So sorry I've never done this before SO.

[39:58] I don't really know.

[39:59] His name and address and tells what's on your mind.

[40:01] So the trail.

[40:03] The canal trail.

[40:04] I just thought I didn't get your name and address. I'm sorry, Steven.

[40:08] 1696 S. 2075 E.

[40:11] Thank you.

[40:12] The canal trail.

[40:13] I saw a sign there.

[40:15] Just recently.

[40:16] About something about a closure.

[40:17] Listed this meeting.

[40:19] So I came here.

[40:20] I only heard a few things online on live stream as I was driving here.

[40:24] And then a few things now.

[40:25] But I love the trail.

[40:27] I pick fruit on the trail, wild plums there all the time.

[40:30] We've collected the Rosebuds.

[40:32] And traditionally, like I picked up trash on the trail and kind of helped pull down some of the weeds and stuff like that.

[40:38] I'd be happy to keep.

[40:40] Cleaning weeds out.

[40:41] Picking up trash.

[40:43] If that's one of the concerns.

[40:46] I could even put in a trash can.

[40:48] Dump it with My neighborhood has a dumpster.

[40:50] Right near the trail. I'm sure I can talk to my HOA.

[40:53] And we can.

[40:54] Maybe bi weekly I can come by and dump that trash can of trash is a concern.

[40:59] I heard a couple concerns about graffiti.

[41:01] I saw a Patriot front sticker.

[41:04] Just down the street here.

[41:05] And I've seen patron front stickers in other places in Cottonwood Heights.

[41:10] I am more than happy.

[41:11] To remove any racist graffiti.

[41:13] As president in that trail.

[41:15] I haven't seen anything like that on that trail.

[41:17] Because I regularly walk it looking for that sort of stuff.

[41:19] If that's there.

[41:20] I'm happy to give my contact information.

[41:22] And I'll take that out.

[41:24] Immediately.

[41:28] Yeah. And any neighbors that are concerned about safety?

[41:30] If anyone is concerned about their safety on the trail.

[41:33] I'm more than happy, like the police respond really fast.

[41:35] Always appreciated that.

[41:37] I'm more than happy to also work with people.

[41:39] You know, give you my contact information.

[41:41] And I live.

[41:43] Right there. I could probably be there in a couple minutes if I'm home.

[41:45] If it's later at night, there's some sort of problem.

[41:48] I'm more than happy to take a phone call.

[41:52] And I because I've never done this before.

[41:54] So sorry if I'm a little out of order.

[41:58] Thank you.

[41:59] Yep, I can see that. OK, thank you.

[42:06] Anyone else for public comment?

[42:10] Going once.

[42:12] Going twice, OK.

[42:13] We'll close public comment. For now, let me just address a couple of things.

[42:17] That the city does not presently have any.

[42:20] Active.

[42:21] Trail projects on our immediate horizon.

[42:25] Those properties.

[42:26] Are not owned by the city or controlled by the city. The gates.

[42:29] Are not owned, operated, installed, removed by the city.

[42:33] And please if I say anything wrong.

[42:35] Chime in.

[42:37] Most of those canals in question.

[42:40] Our owned fee simple outright by Salt Lake City Public Utilities.

[42:45] Though there are some exceptions.

[42:47] In parts of the canal where they don't own it.

[42:50] Because someone else has owned a.

[42:51] Chunk of it since.

[42:53] Before the utility got ahold of it.

[42:55] So there's not.

[42:55] Even consistent ownership across the whole length of the canal trail.

[43:01] I'm confident that the.

[43:02] The gate.

[43:03] On the Arbor Lane side that that property and gate.

[43:07] Is owned by Salt Lake City Public Utilities.

[43:09] Could be wrong about that, but I'm pretty confident that's theirs.

[43:12] I'm unfamiliar with the far down side.

[43:15] If that's.

[43:17] Owned outright by Salt Lake City Public Utilities, or if that's one of those properties, that's.

[43:21] Owned by the adjacent property owner.

[43:25] But I.

[43:26] We were surprised to find a.

[43:28] Whole meeting here of of trail concerned citizens.

[43:31] We didn't call the meeting. There was a referred to someone who posted a sign that that was not the city.

[43:37] So you're certainly welcome always to come to City Hall and attend City Council meeting for any reason under the sun. And tonight

[43:40] it was trails.

[43:45] But at present.

[43:46] The city owns no trails where we have no trail projects.

[43:50] On the immediate.

[43:51] Horizon, uh.

[43:53] As Murphy referred to a previous effort there.

[43:57] A couple years ago.

[43:58] We got a grant.

[43:59] To do a study.

[44:01] About trails and that's all that we had was some grant money to do a study.

[44:06] And and that end result.

[44:08] Was not necessarily to then progress right into a trails project, it was just.

[44:13] Information gathering.

[44:15] And that information was gathered.

[44:17] It has not resulted in.

[44:18] The city trying to acquire.

[44:20] Property or.

[44:21] And I haven't found.

[44:23] Salt Lake City Public Utilities to be in a hurry.

[44:26] To share.

[44:27] Their property, right?

[44:29] With the city.

[44:32] I do have a meeting with them scheduled on some other issues, but that this will be a topic that I'll.

[44:36] Bring up with them.

[44:38] But I.

[44:39] I don't have high hopes.

[44:41] Large change coming about is over this meeting later this month.

[44:45] With regard to canal trails.

[44:48] Regarding the other gentleman's concern, we'll certainly make inquiries.

[44:53] I understand that is a spar down gate.

[44:54] A newer gate.

[44:57] OK. That's a newer one. OK. I know the Arbor Lanes have been there for a long time.

[45:01] But.

[45:03] I'll make inquiries about.

[45:04] The far down one and three guard to who?

[45:06] Owns it.

[45:07] And.

[45:09] So we'll make inquiries, but.

[45:11] Again, the city does not.

[45:12] Own the property. We don't control the property.

[45:16] But we'll certainly try to represent.

[45:18] The interests of the community with regard to address? You're trying to find out.

[45:22] More information about it.

[45:23] OK, so.

[45:25] That's public comment.

[45:27] We're going to move on now.

[45:28] To agenda item number 3.

[45:31] If there are those who want to.

[45:33] Take off, go ahead.

[45:34] We'll wait a minute for you if you don't want to stick around for the other agenda items.

[45:41] But thanks for coming.

[45:42] Ziya, Sally.

[45:50] Nobody wants to stay for fireworks.

[45:53] That's good.

[45:55] Yeah, really.

[45:57] OK, let's proceed then.

[46:01] To item number three. Item number three, we.

[46:04] Passed an ordinance I guess at the end of April as I recall.

[46:10] Regarding what our fireworks map would be for the year.

[46:15] Um.

[46:19] Given our.

[46:22] Given that May 1st as a.

[46:24] Fairly as it can be a long time away from July 4th.

[46:28] We wanted to give ourselves an opportunity to.

[46:32] Revisit the decision before.

[46:35] We had fireworks season upon us.

[46:39] We had decided at that late April.

[46:43] Council meeting.

[46:45] To restrict all fireworks, All personal St. fireworks that is.

[46:48] Throughout the city.

[46:50] But wanted to give ourselves an opportunity to revisit in case we.

[46:53] Experienced any monsoonal flow and.

[46:56] And the fire risk had been significantly reduced.

[47:00] So today is our opportunity to ratify or overturn.

[47:04] That, umm.

[47:07] Ordinance passed in late April.

[47:10] Do we have any?

[47:10] Comment umm.

[47:13] From the.

[47:15] I would say.

[47:16] Given the lack of.

[47:18] Monsoonal.

[47:19] Overflow and.

[47:20] Also the fires that have.

[47:22] Gone on in the Valley.

[47:23] Just even this week I'm not inclined to make any changes.

[47:27] To what we had passed in April.

[47:30] My office happens to.

[47:32] Overlook the fire that occurred yesterday on Ensign Peak.

[47:37] And it was.

[47:38] It was interesting to watch how it developed and.

[47:41] How our first responders took care of it, but I'm also not knowing.

[47:43] Climate change.

[47:49] OK. Yeah, I I'm also, I haven't seen any evidence that the fire risk has changed or lessened.

[47:55] Since our initial swipe.

[47:57] At this particular topic.

[47:59] So unless there's other comments or questions of anyone, I'll be happy to take a motion.

[48:04] Motion to ratify Ordinance 202603 restriction.

[48:09] Restricting the use of personal fireworks with all portions of the city line east of 13th East.

[48:13] 2nd.

[48:14] We have a motion and a second.

[48:16] Council Member Gray.

[48:17] Yes.

[48:18] Councilmember Quinn.

[48:19] Yes, Councilmember Durham.

[48:20] Yes, Councilmember Sundwall.

[48:22] Yes and share votes yes.

[48:23] So our.

[48:25] Use of personal fireworks in the city is.

[48:28] Not legal.

[48:29] Anywhere in the city because our.

[48:30] Entire city is east of 13th East.

[48:34] OK, moving on to item number 4.

[48:38] An ordinance regarding zoning.

[48:41] Change for the South end those locks.

[48:46] On the South end of Island Drive.

[48:48] Do we have any?

[48:49] Comments, Concerns, questions prior to taking a motion.

[48:55] Mayor, I move adoption of Ordinance 2026-07, amending the zoning map.

[49:01] For property located at 60376048 and 6051 Highland Drive.

[49:06] From hard.

[49:07] 210 and 1995 E 6060.

[49:11] South from R110 to residential multifamily RM zoning.

[49:16] 2nd.

[49:16] OK, we have a motion and a second.

[49:20] Any questions or concerns regarding the motion itself?

[49:23] Otherwise, I'm happy to help.

[49:25] We'll just proceed to the.

[49:26] OK, Councilmember Gray.

[49:27] Yes.

[49:28] Councilmember Quinn.

[49:29] Yes, Council Member Durham.

[49:30] Yes, Councilmember Sunbow.

[49:32] Yes.

[49:33] And chair votes yes.

[49:34] Congratulations. Thanks very much.

[49:39] OK, moving on to item number 5.

[49:43] This is a.

[49:45] Final amendments.

[49:47] To the current year.

[49:49] Budget.

[49:50] We went over these last week.

[49:53] At a public hearing.

[49:54] There didn't seem to be any concerns or questions at the time, but there is.

[49:58] Always today.

[49:59] Any questions, concerns?

[50:01] Clarifications you'd like to have.

[50:03] Otherwise, I'm happy to take a motion.

[50:06] Mr. Mayor.

[50:07] I move to consider ordinance.

[50:10] 20202608 Amending the budget for fiscal year beginning July 1st, 2025 and ending June 30th, 2026.

[50:18] Second, OK, we have a motion and a second.

[50:20] Councilmember Gray.

[50:21] Yes, Councilmember Quinn.

[50:22] Yes, Member Durham.

[50:24] Yes, Councilmember Sandwell.

[50:25] Yes, chair votes. Yes. Thank you.

[50:28] Item number six.

[50:30] We need to have a little bit of updating from our finance director. I understand.

[50:35] We've had some late breaking news about what that.

[50:38] Actual uh.

[50:40] Tax rate will be.

[50:43] The presumption are they're operating.

[50:46] Under the assumption that there's no increase.

[50:49] But given that there has been change in value.

[50:52] That means the mill levy has to come.

[50:54] One way or the other, presumably down.

[50:56] To meet the new.

[50:58] Valuations to then give us essentially the same amount in receipts.

[51:03] With the exclusion of new.

[51:05] Square footage growth.

[51:06] Taxable property? Something to that effect.

[51:08] Correct in the state legislature made a change this year that.

[51:11] Pushed the date back, which the certified tax rate need to be.

[51:15] Fully finalized.

[51:16] To the 13th.

[51:18] Which for this meeting is a little inconvenient, but we did have the majority of the data information available in order to

[51:24] calculate it ourselves, and there is some unfinalized information that indicates to us that this is the rate that it will be.

[51:30] In the event that there is a change that we're not anticipating, we would maybe need to do a virtual meeting.

[51:36] In order to adopt that finalized certified tax rate in the event it is different than what we have calculated.

[51:41] Right. So then, yeah, we've got.

[51:43] Numbers. A number you've calculated has been confirmed by the county, at least in terms of a.

[51:50] Tentative number.

[51:52] But is subject to a final.

[51:54] Tweak that's.

[51:56] Possible.

[51:57] My hunch is that the odds are low, but it's possible.

[52:01] That's correct. And if that were the case.

[52:03] We just need to assemble a quick.

[52:06] Virtual meeting. One agenda item meeting.

[52:09] I'd come here to City Hall to anchor the meeting.

[52:11] And then we just fire up a.

[52:14] Asked to be before.

[52:15] June 22nd.

[52:17] Is that like the?

[52:18] Deadline. Deadline.

[52:19] Yeah, so.

[52:21] Odds are.

[52:22] This is a nothing burger but.

[52:23] There's that possibility.

[52:25] OK. So in the meantime, now does our motion have to say the number in it or is it just embedded in the ordinance?

[52:32] I think it does need to have the number in it.

[52:34] Yes, and and I do have a brief.

[52:36] Presentation just on property tax information, OK.

[52:39] Proceed.

[52:40] So I just want to start with some background information, specifically to Holiday as it compares to the context of the rest of the

[52:43] county.

[52:46] The average home value in holiday in 20261 million 84,900 county wide average 657,000 so holidays.

[52:55] Definitely on the high end.

[52:57] Of that county average, and I've included a little graph there you can see where holiday stacks up compared to the rest of the

[53:00] communities.

[53:05] Can you go to next?

[53:09] So here I just wanted to provide some background information for the Council.

[53:13] In general, I'm sure the Council's heard many times.

[53:16] Property values increase, the certified tax rate decreases, and then the amount of revenue that the city receives is exactly the

[53:19] same.

[53:23] Which is true, but there are certain situations in which.

[53:26] Even if none of the taxing entities within your district.

[53:29] Do an increase. An individual resident could see an increase on their individual bill.

[53:34] And there's two scenarios I wanted to highlight in this presentation, The first one on the left.

[53:38] Let's give an example of You own a home that's.

[53:41] Valued at $400,000.

[53:43] And all the other residents within that same hypothetical community, also valued at $400,000.

[53:50] Your tax bill with a certified tax rate of 1% would be $4000.

[53:54] In the following year, let's say it's a scenario where you're.

[53:57] Home value increases by 15% and then all of the residents around you.

[54:01] Increased by only 5%.

[54:04] You would then make up a larger portion of the overall tax base and so your individual bill would increase even though the city is

[54:08] not receiving any additional funds, So.

[54:12] This is just a little bit of context if if you were to get a question how come my bill went up even though the city didn't do an

[54:15] increase?

[54:18] Just some information.

[54:20] And the second scenario on the right is very similar sort of situation, but it's within the context of OK, what happens if?

[54:27] Residential properties increase, but then commercial properties decrease. It's this very similar scenario in that.

[54:33] You're now making up a larger piece of the overall base.

[54:36] Even though none of the communities are doing an increase or none of the taxing districts are doing an increase, you would see an

[54:40] increase on your bill because you are a larger percentage.

[54:44] Of the overall hull.

[54:46] Any questions on that?

[54:47] That was clearer than I've heard it explained in the three years since I joined the Council, so thank you.

[54:53] Perfect.

[54:53] Great.

[54:56] OK. And then this is some specific information for 2026?

[55:01] So you can see the real property value increased by 5.5%.

[55:07] Centrally assessed value increased by 7.3%.

[55:11] Personal property actually decreased by 2.7%.

[55:14] And then we have a board of equalization adjustment of.

[55:17] 2.3 million.

[55:19] That would be like, for instance, if someone received an assessment on their property and they wanted to appeal that assessment.

[55:25] That is what that adjustment is. What what is centrally assessed value.

[55:29] Centrally assessed value.

[55:31] Gina, can you jump in on that one? Sure. So that is a property that is not taxed where the value is not determined at the

[55:37] individual county level, but is.

[55:43] Upset by the state tax Commission and it can include things like value of airlines and railroads. It's larger property that isn't

[55:48] specific to 1 jurisdiction.

[55:54] Thank you.

[55:55] Large mining companies, our attorney points out.

[56:01] OK. And then?

[56:02] After that, we get a total adjusted value of 6.8 billion and then the county every five years.

[56:08] Creates a.

[56:09] Their collection rate, which is just the rate of which they're able to collect those property taxes.

[56:13] We're at 97.42%.

[56:15] The then that gives us a total proposed value of 6.7 billion.

[56:19] And then we have, we're taking out the new growth that we received in the year. That's the.

[56:23] Value of the new growth.

[56:25] And then that gets multiplied by the certified tax rate which we've calculated.

[56:29] And then we add back in the new growth and it gives the total revenue for property tax.

[56:33] In fiscal year 2027 of.

[56:35] $8,605,000.

[56:38] Any questions on that?

[56:41] Great. And then finally, we just wanted to look at the context for an individual homeowner and that's why I sort of primed the

[56:45] conversation.

[56:49] With that earlier explanation of.

[56:51] The changes in some of those competing residences or commercial property values increasing or decreasing.

[56:59] An individual.

[57:01] Average homeowner within holiday, the property value went from 1,028,000 to 1,084,000.

[57:07] And you can see.

[57:09] There's a 45% residential exemption.

[57:11] And the end result of all this calculation is that the property tax for.

[57:15] An average.

[57:16] Home in holiday is going from 754 dollars.

[57:19] To $764.00, so about a $10 increase.

[57:23] Without any of us doing an increase or anything.

[57:26] Like that. So I like the head of that is.

[57:29] That slight change in residential value versus commercial value.

[57:32] More than likely.

[57:33] Yes.

[57:34] Normally goes the other way, but we're in kind of a weird state right now. Or.

[57:38] Residential is going faster than commercial.

[57:40] Correct.

[57:41] Any questions on any of this?

[57:44] OK, great. But it's very.

[57:46] Great.

[57:49] OK. Do we need to have again? Do we need to have that rate?

[57:52] Stated in the motion or is it just?

[57:53] Buried in the ordinance. And then? If so, can you?

[57:57] OK, so let's put it up there so we can.

[58:01] I didn't remember what that said.

[58:15] It's in my presentation that the amount is 0.001.

[58:19] 281.

[58:21] OK, in yellow there.

[58:23] OK, OK.

[58:24] So if there's no questions.

[58:27] Yes.

[58:28] Yeah.

[59:05] Proceed.

[59:06] Article correction in the heading of the ordinance that we'll have to make it states the wrong fiscal year.

[59:10] OK. I would like to say 2027 or 2026.

[59:14] 202026-27 OK.

[59:17] So in that.

[59:18] Top title.

[59:20] Make it 2026 dash 2027 tax year.

[59:24] Because we are a fiscal year that goes from July 1 to June 30.

[59:28] And then?

[59:31] Thanks right here.

[59:34] Density of holiday.

[59:35] Then just at the end of.

[59:37] Bold. We would just say at the rate of.

[59:40] Number.

[59:42] Good.

[59:43] Are we ready?

[59:45] Mr. Mayor, motion to approve Ordinance 2026-09 determining the tax, the rate of tax.

[59:51] For 20/26/27 tax year and levied taxes upon all real and personal property within the city of Holiday at a rate.

[1:00:01] .00128.

[1:00:03] One second.

[1:00:05] OK, we have a motion.

[1:00:07] Well constructed and a second.

[1:00:12] So Council Member Gray.

[1:00:14] Yes.

[1:00:14] Council member Quinn.

[1:00:15] Yes, Councilmember Durham. Yes, Councilmember Sundwall.

[1:00:18] Yes. And chair votes yes. OK, well done everybody.

[1:00:23] All right.

[1:00:26] Now we have the ordinance that we talked about last we had the public hearing.

[1:00:31] Regarding compensation schedule.

[1:00:34] For elected officials and executive statutory.

[1:00:37] And municipal officers.

[1:00:40] There are questions or concerns, Let's go ahead and raise them. Otherwise, I'm happy to take a motion.

[1:00:46] Mayor, I move adoption of.

[1:00:47] Ordinance 202610 approving A compensation schedule.

[1:00:51] For elected executive.

[1:00:53] Appointed or statutory and all other municipal officers.

[1:00:57] 2nd.

[1:00:58] And we have a motion and a second.

[1:00:59] Councilmember Gray.

[1:01:00] Yes, Remember Quinn?

[1:01:02] Yes, Councilmember Durham.

[1:01:03] Yes, Councilmember Sandoval.

[1:01:05] Yes and share votes yes.

[1:01:08] OK, and now the biggie.

[1:01:12] #8.

[1:01:14] Any questions or concerns regarding?

[1:01:17] The final budget for the coming year.

[1:01:21] I can't tell you how happy I'm proud I am of everybody associated with this next year's budget.

[1:01:26] Particularly our public safety partners.

[1:01:28] Well done.

[1:01:29] Both UFA and UPD both came in at.

[1:01:33] Under 2.4%.

[1:01:35] And.

[1:01:37] This is my.

[1:01:38] 9th budget season.

[1:01:41] But first as a mayor. So I'm very pleased.

[1:01:45] With the conscientiousness, conscientiousness and the great work of our staff and our public safety partners.

[1:01:52] And yeah, both coming in under 2.4%.

[1:01:56] For holiday share of.

[1:01:59] The cost increases from our public safety partners.

[1:02:01] I won't always be the case to be that low, but.

[1:02:04] As a first year mayor, that's like a gift from heaven, so I'm very grateful.

[1:02:09] And again, this is.

[1:02:11] A culmination of a lot of effort since the beginning of this calendar year.

[1:02:16] I'm happy to take a motion.

[1:02:19] And also upon your vote, if you want to make comment, you're certainly welcome to as well.

[1:02:23] Mr. May, Motion to Approve Ordinance 202611. Adopting a final budget for fiscal year 20262027.

[1:02:32] 2nd.

[1:02:33] OK, we have motion a second.

[1:02:34] Councilmember Berg.

[1:02:35] Agree. Yes.

[1:02:37] Mcguinn, Yes.

[1:02:38] Council Member Durham.

[1:02:39] Yes, Councilmerson. Well, yes.

[1:02:41] And chair votes yes. Thank you very much. Congratulations to the staff.

[1:02:44] Thanks. Great work.

[1:02:47] All right. Next is the amending the consolidated fee schedule.

[1:02:51] As you'll recall, we've made certain amendments and adjustments.

[1:02:55] We did a study.

[1:02:56] Looking at cost recovery for our city services.

[1:03:01] And we've made an amended fee schedule.

[1:03:04] That tries to capture a little more of the.

[1:03:09] What's the word?

[1:03:11] For the costs.

[1:03:12] Yeah, externality or?

[1:03:15] There's a.

[1:03:17] Starts with.

[1:03:19] The extra costs that come along with certain disproportionate, disproportionate, disproportionate cost, yes, thank you.

[1:03:25] Blanked out there.

[1:03:26] And so now these fees are changes.

[1:03:30] Our schedule, although we're making the change the fee schedule.

[1:03:34] Effective today, they don't work.

[1:03:36] If these don't go into effect.

[1:03:38] Until January 1st.

[1:03:40] Of 2027.

[1:03:41] So if we have a major revolt, we have an opportunity to.

[1:03:44] To reconsider it again.

[1:03:47] Short of that though.

[1:03:49] If there any other comments or questions?

[1:03:51] Please.

[1:03:52] Speak up. Otherwise, I'm happy to take a motion, Mr. Mayor. So one question. So.

[1:03:55] We're going to pass this now, but.

[1:03:57] The we'll send out notices to.

[1:03:59] Businesses afterwards.

[1:04:01] And then we'll feedback.

[1:04:02] OK. Yeah. Thanks.

[1:04:04] So we haven't heard anything yet.

[1:04:07] We have not.

[1:04:09] But since most businesses will see.

[1:04:12] Reduction in their annual fee.

[1:04:15] I expect the majority of feedback that you hear will be positive.

[1:04:19] There are certain categories of businesses that you may hear from that we'll see an increase based on those disproportionate

[1:04:23] shares.

[1:04:27] Thanks.

[1:04:29] The uh.

[1:04:31] Asian lady with the.

[1:04:33] Barbershop, umm.

[1:04:34] By Crown Burger.

[1:04:35] She's very happy.

[1:04:37] I told her.

[1:04:39] Down considerably.

[1:04:41] Yes, Mint the barbershop. She has a very.

[1:04:45] Mayor, I move adoption of.

[1:04:48] Resolution 2616 amending the consolidated fee schedule for the City.

[1:04:54] Relating to the cost to the city for providing certain city services.

[1:04:58] 2nd.

[1:04:59] OK, we have a motion and a second council member, Gray.

[1:05:01] Yes, Councilmember Quinn.

[1:05:03] Yes, I'm a Durham.

[1:05:04] Yes, Councilmember Sundwall.

[1:05:05] Yes. And chair votes yes. Thank you very much.

[1:05:09] OK. Next item is adopting a Fourth Amendment with the interlocal agreement. And we haven't had a whole lot of context in history

[1:05:15] on this one. So that gives you an opportunity just to give us a quick update on what this all means. Sure.

[1:05:22] So four years ago, the city entered into a five year agreement with Salt Lake County to provide public work services.

[1:05:31] That agreement is amended each year to reflect a new.

[1:05:34] Budget schedule and that matches what is in the budget that you just adopted.

[1:05:40] So this will be the last amendment under the existing contract and then we'll determine how to proceed next.

[1:05:49] Fiscal year.

[1:05:51] Any questions?

[1:05:54] Happy to take a motion then.

[1:05:56] Mr. Mayor.

[1:05:57] I move that we adopt Resolution 202617, adopting the 4th Amendment to the interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County for Public

[1:06:02] Works.

[1:06:08] 2nd I have a motion and a second.

[1:06:09] Council Member Gray.

[1:06:10] Yes, Councilmember Quinn.

[1:06:12] Yes, Councilmember Durham. Yes.

[1:06:14] Councilmember Sandwell.

[1:06:14] Yes. And chair votes yes. Thank you.

[1:06:17] OK, next is item number.

[1:06:20] 11.

[1:06:21] Which is granting vice and Senate City Council for the reappointment.

[1:06:25] Of two Planning Commission members.

[1:06:27] Gina.

[1:06:29] Yeah. So we're forwarding.

[1:06:32] For reappointment to really fantastic.

[1:06:36] Members of our Planning Commission, Brian Barrett representing District 1 and Angela Gong representing District 4.

[1:06:47] OK. And neither are he.

[1:06:48] Here looks like so.

[1:06:50] Is there a limit on how many terms?

[1:06:53] Members can serve.

[1:06:54] Two and we.

[1:06:58] Will have a vacancy in District 5 we're currently.

[1:07:02] Rooting for that.

[1:07:04] I had somebody reach out and I've been talking to John about that and I think it's a he's very excited about. Great.

[1:07:11] Uptree right?

[1:07:12] So you'll likely see a person.

[1:07:16] Being advanced for advice and consent in July.

[1:07:19] For District 5.

[1:07:23] Very good. Yeah, I know Angela also helped us out on the.

[1:07:26] General plan.

[1:07:27] Update And she was excellent, so I'm delighted.

[1:07:30] See her reappointed.

[1:07:32] Happy to take a motion.

[1:07:34] Mr. Mayor, I move to consider.

[1:07:36] Approval of resolution.

[1:07:38] 202618 Granting the advice and consent of the City Council for the appointment of planning of.

[1:07:44] Appointment of members to the Planning Commission.

[1:07:45] 2nd.

[1:07:46] OK, we have a motion in a second.

[1:07:48] Councilman Gray.

[1:07:49] Yes.

[1:07:50] Council member Quinn.

[1:07:51] Yes, Councilmember Durham.

[1:07:52] Yes, Councilmember Sunwall.

[1:07:54] Yes, chair votes, yes, do. Thank you very much.

[1:07:56] All right, Item number 12A resolution to amend the.

[1:08:00] City of Holiday employee manual.

[1:08:02] You'll recall there's just a couple of minor items.

[1:08:05] Primarily to.

[1:08:07] Sync up.

[1:08:08] The.

[1:08:09] Accrual rates for.

[1:08:13] Paid time off.

[1:08:16] Because we had.

[1:08:16] Three different systems that worked a little bit differently and.

[1:08:19] This is. Then I'll sync those systems up and publish.

[1:08:22] Rate that's being used.

[1:08:24] Now for.

[1:08:26] All synced up systems.

[1:08:28] Is there anything of significance beyond that description? That's correct. We're also.

[1:08:33] Finalizing the date of Juneteenth.

[1:08:35] That's June 19th.

[1:08:37] And we are changing our.

[1:08:41] Sick leave.

[1:08:43] Accrual policy and.

[1:08:48] Making a.

[1:08:50] Deposit to employees that have exceeded that new cap into either their 401K or 457 account.

[1:08:59] Oh, that's right. So the.

[1:09:01] Excess unused that gets written off, There's a.

[1:09:05] Trade element.

[1:09:06] That can then traded into their.

[1:09:08] Right arm, OK.

[1:09:09] Right. Any other questions, concerns, issues?

[1:09:12] Otherwise, I'm happy to take a motion.

[1:09:14] Mr. Mayor, motion to approve Resolution 202619 amending the City of Holiday Employee Manual.

[1:09:21] 2nd we have motion, second council member.

[1:09:24] Great.

[1:09:26] Yes.

[1:09:27] Councilmember Durham.

[1:09:27] Yes.

[1:09:28] Councilmember.

[1:09:29] Yes, terrible chance.

[1:09:31] Very good.

[1:09:32] Now item number 13. This is one that we.

[1:09:35] Addressed in the RDA as well. It's the same thing, just have to do in City Council.

[1:09:40] This is the agreement.

[1:09:43] Or the amendment to the existing agreement, or the primary change is just changing the available.

[1:09:48] Mixed to a more diversified mix of units, including larger units.

[1:09:53] Where in my view at least having that.

[1:09:56] Larger mix provides greater diversity of.

[1:09:59] Of unit types to the.

[1:10:01] Community, we're trying to serve by the.

[1:10:03] Affordable housing or workforce housing?

[1:10:05] Agreement. Umm.

[1:10:07] Also this.

[1:10:09] Change in mix.

[1:10:10] Apparently is also.

[1:10:12] To the.

[1:10:14] A positive thing for the developer too so.

[1:10:17] It appears to be a.

[1:10:18] Win win as opposed to a middle ground.

[1:10:21] And again, any questions or concerns about this?

[1:10:25] Otherwise, I'm happy to take a motion.

[1:10:27] Mr. Mayor, motion approved Resolution 202620, amending the affordable housing agreement with WAY.

[1:10:33] KMW development for the royal holiday.

[1:10:36] Second, can we have a motion a second?

[1:10:38] Councilmember Gray.

[1:10:39] Yeah, Councilmember Quinn.

[1:10:40] Yes, Remember Durham?

[1:10:42] Yes.

[1:10:42] Councilmember Sundwall.

[1:10:43] Yes and chair votes yes.

[1:10:44] Thanks very much.

[1:10:46] All right.

[1:10:47] That was a lot of voting.

[1:10:50] OK. But again, a lot of that was the.

[1:10:52] End of the culmination of a lot of previous work, so thanks to the council, thanks to the staff.

[1:10:57] And.

[1:10:58] Also our public safety partners budget wise.

[1:11:02] Excellent.

[1:11:03] Excellent fiscal year.

[1:11:04] Coming to that close.

[1:11:05] OK, next the city manager report.

[1:11:08] I have nothing this evening.

[1:11:10] Nothing.

[1:11:12] I mean, pretty much.

[1:11:15] Again, the culmination.

[1:11:17] Of a lot of stuff.

[1:11:19] OK, Council reports. Let's start with Councilmember Gray.

[1:11:24] I just have one item I met with the Central Wasatch Commission this week.

[1:11:29] And I found out that even after the.

[1:11:32] Mobility Hub is built in the.

[1:11:35] Current gravel pit area.

[1:11:37] I am UTA and UDOT are planning on keeping.

[1:11:41] Our park and ride open.

[1:11:43] Which was not.

[1:11:45] The best news?

[1:11:48] But there was some discussion on because it's going to be considered overflow if there's a way that we can.

[1:11:53] Permanent. So we were just talking if.

[1:11:57] If there's a way we could limit street parking in that case so that there's no street parking, obviously that's going to be a few

[1:12:01] years out, but I think that's something that.

[1:12:05] Would be much appreciated when it's not a primary parking site so if that's something that we can keep in mind as we.

[1:12:11] Move forward on that.

[1:12:14] Anyway, that's all I've got.

[1:12:15] OK, Councilmember Quinn.

[1:12:16] I don't have anything tonight.

[1:12:18] OK, Councilmember Durham.

[1:12:20] I just wanted to pass on to the staff.

[1:12:22] That I met with this tree committee last week.

[1:12:26] There was.

[1:12:28] Some interest in finding a little more.

[1:12:32] Proactive approach to their.

[1:12:34] Social media presence through the city.

[1:12:37] And so I just wanted to make.

[1:12:39] Eugenia and Lina aware of that so that if they approach you, you can.

[1:12:43] Be prepared to address that with them.

[1:12:45] Thank you.

[1:12:47] Customer support just.

[1:12:49] I met with a mosquito abatement board this week and it was just interesting to hear about.

[1:12:53] Well, that they go through to make sure that.

[1:12:55] Try to keep our mosquito populations down and just that with the.

[1:12:59] Unusually warm March and then the cooler months since it's actually mosquitoes are.

[1:13:04] Are down and hopefully they'll stay that way.

[1:13:07] Oh goodness.

[1:13:08] Excellent. Umm.

[1:13:10] I'm going to keep my.

[1:13:12] Items.

[1:13:13] To a minimum, but I do want to uh.

[1:13:15] There there is a.

[1:13:16] Recent development.

[1:13:18] In our command staff.

[1:13:20] At Updina, this hasn't been ratified by the board yet.

[1:13:23] But I think a meteor would have to hit the earth to hold this back.

[1:13:29] But our own Chief Hoyle is being promoted to assistant chief.

[1:13:33] Of UPD That's expected to take place the next board meeting.

[1:13:36] Of the UPD on.

[1:13:38] Thursday of the coming week.

[1:13:40] Congratulations, Chief Hoyle, well deserved.

[1:13:43] And though we are.

[1:13:46] A bit heartsick about losing you as our chief. We know that we remain in excellent hands.

[1:13:51] With UPD overall.

[1:13:53] And that we expect you won't be a stranger.

[1:13:57] Or you'll be in trouble.

[1:13:58] With us.

[1:14:00] So the process will be.

[1:14:04] The the the job for Chief of Holiday has been posted. We expect a pool of the current lieutenants.

[1:14:11] Who are interested will apply.

[1:14:15] And.

[1:14:16] I think that job posting.

[1:14:18] Closes in a couple of weeks.

[1:14:20] Isn't that right now we?

[1:14:22] Will hold interviews on.

[1:14:23] July.

[1:14:25] And we haven't determined who's going to do those interviews, I'm sure would be included myself and Gina.

[1:14:31] Perhaps Mayor Pro Tem.

[1:14:33] Sure.

[1:14:35] Anyway, we've got a little some vacation scheduling to navigate through this whole process because Gina is about to leave town.

[1:14:42] She gets back.

[1:14:43] We have a day.

[1:14:44] And then I leave down.

[1:14:46] So we'll have those.

[1:14:48] Interviews on July 6th.

[1:14:50] And then?

[1:14:51] I expect a decision will be made shortly thereafter.

[1:14:54] And then we'll have a new chief.

[1:14:56] But regardless where?

[1:14:58] Extend our heartfelt thanks to.

[1:15:00] Chief Hoyle for his years of service to Holiday and we.

[1:15:02] Look forward to continuing to watch your.

[1:15:05] Career, career.

[1:15:06] Yeah.

[1:15:08] OK, that's all I have.

[1:15:10] So.

[1:15:12] Council meetings coming up after this one. We get to take a break for a little while.

[1:15:17] So the next one will be July 16th.

[1:15:19] Other calendar items include.

[1:15:22] The Arts Council activities including Fiddler on the Roof.

[1:15:26] Which is.

[1:15:27] June 25th through the 30th.

[1:15:30] That's what our old.

[1:15:32] Our regular City Hall park.

[1:15:35] In the backyard there at the park.

[1:15:38] At the gazebo.

[1:15:39] Invite you to that and then of course, we are the 4th of July.

[1:15:42] Festivities it includes the same.

[1:15:44] Excellent breakfast by the same excellent caterer.

[1:15:48] And then the concert at 8:00.

[1:15:50] And the light show drone.

[1:15:53] At 10.

[1:15:55] And then we have our regular summer concert series coming up every Saturday after that through.

[1:16:00] Through all of July and August.

[1:16:03] Culminating at some point in the Blue Moon Festival. I'm not sure the date of that is, but that's.

[1:16:08] Sometime in September, morning likely.

[1:16:10] Plenty of time to talk about that.

[1:16:12] OK, so I think we're good with a calendar.

[1:16:17] And with our regular council meeting.

[1:16:20] We can take a little breath and then.

[1:16:23] To a work meeting.

[1:16:27] But I need a motion for that.

[1:16:29] Mayor I movely recessed to.

[1:16:31] Sorry.

[1:16:33] Oh, OK.

[1:16:35] Well, sure, I'll move recess to a work meeting.

[1:16:41] 2nd.

[1:16:43] Aye OK, we are recessed to a working community to take a break for a minute or.

[1:16:47] Procedure.

[1:16:50] Yes, got a quick bathroom breaker.

[1:16:52] Water break.

[1:16:57] So the word meeting we've got.

[1:16:59] A couple of items.

[1:17:02] What do you want to do first, City Hall or Spring Lane?

[1:17:06] We are doing it all as one all.

[1:17:09] All right.

[1:17:10] Joe, I guess you're up.

[1:17:12] Yes.

[1:17:13] Meaning city halls first.

[1:17:16] So just a quick.

[1:17:18] Update on construction over at.

[1:17:20] The holiday City Hall.

[1:17:23] So work done to date.

[1:17:24] Most of the demolition has been complete, so there's a couple pictures in front of you.

[1:17:30] The picture on the left.

[1:17:33] Just to Orient yourself is right outside the CED.

[1:17:36] Department and.

[1:17:38] Support Windows, which is.

[1:17:39] Unrecognizable now.

[1:17:41] As you can see.

[1:17:42] And the other picture is of the admin wing.

[1:17:45] As you can see, flooring has been removed.

[1:17:49] A lot of.

[1:17:50] Walls and ceiling is now gone.

[1:17:52] Out of mechanical and electrical plumbing demolition has been completed.

[1:17:57] And it has stalled for a reason. We'll talk about in a minute.

[1:18:02] There is a little bit more left to do.

[1:18:04] But to.

[1:18:05] Do something else in the meantime, we've started.

[1:18:08] Excavating.

[1:18:09] The Vestibule edition.

[1:18:11] On the South side of the building.

[1:18:13] To build that.

[1:18:14] Addition so that picture on the left is of the activation for the vestibule.

[1:18:19] On the South side of the building.

[1:18:21] Those stairs will be removed.

[1:18:23] During activation as well.

[1:18:25] That's coming along.

[1:18:27] Footings and foundations.

[1:18:29] Will start.

[1:18:31] To get installed tomorrow, Concrete early next week.

[1:18:35] So that's progressing along quite nicely.

[1:18:38] And then the.

[1:18:39] In the basement.

[1:18:40] Which is the right?

[1:18:41] Photo umm.

[1:18:43] We have started cutting through in the basement floor.

[1:18:46] For the new.

[1:18:47] Footings under those structural walls as well.

[1:18:51] So all this considered.

[1:18:53] Our completion date has not changed yet.

[1:18:55] We're still aiming for mid-september of 2027.

[1:18:59] And and.

[1:19:02] Yeah. So just a couple changes that we're going through.

[1:19:05] The first is just.

[1:19:08] Adding the built in cabinetry to the contractor scope of work originally.

[1:19:13] It was called out to be owner provided.

[1:19:15] We are going to have our.

[1:19:17] Furniture contractor provide this, but it's.

[1:19:20] It's not really what they do. They do furniture, not cabinetry.

[1:19:24] And our general contractor is much more.

[1:19:27] Has much more.

[1:19:29] That are subbed to deal with this kind of stuff so the the areas we're adding.

[1:19:33] The CED department.

[1:19:35] The front facing.

[1:19:36] Cabinetry and CD.

[1:19:38] This rendering from the plans.

[1:19:40] Their customer interaction counter.

[1:19:43] Land counter behind it.

[1:19:44] The UPD office downstairs, right at the bottom of the stairs.

[1:19:48] The office.

[1:19:50] The print copy room up near the admin area.

[1:19:53] Admin lobby.

[1:19:55] Between reception and admin wing.

[1:19:57] In the reception area itself.

[1:19:59] That would be the desk.

[1:20:01] And fire.

[1:20:03] Cabinets in there.

[1:20:05] And then a small change that went into this.

[1:20:08] Change order was.

[1:20:10] That these front facing counters.

[1:20:12] In the CED department.

[1:20:14] Changed from just a.

[1:20:16] Plain white laminate to wood.

[1:20:18] As it's.

[1:20:18] Forward facing customers facing, resident facing.

[1:20:21] Just to make that a little nicer.

[1:20:24] And then the cost is on there coming out of contingency, so.

[1:20:28] I think we've reviewed this.

[1:20:31] Cost it all check out.

[1:20:33] And we're ready to move forward.

[1:20:35] So the next change.

[1:20:37] Now, this is kind of what's stalled our demolition for now.

[1:20:41] And essentially when.

[1:20:42] As we started demolishing.

[1:20:45] In the building.

[1:20:45] Peeled back.

[1:20:47] The structure.

[1:20:48] That we didn't quite know what was there.

[1:20:51] Existing conditions.

[1:20:53] We found a lot of.

[1:20:54] Conflicts.

[1:20:55] With uh.

[1:20:56] Mechanical. Electric.

[1:20:57] And plumbing to where our new.

[1:21:00] Seismic.

[1:21:02] Structural walls were going to go.

[1:21:04] So we are actually going to move those.

[1:21:07] A little bit.

[1:21:09] And the major changes upstairs.

[1:21:12] Downstairs, we're still building new wall next to the existing wall upstairs.

[1:21:16] We need to remove the existing walls.

[1:21:19] And build.

[1:21:19] Back in the same spot.

[1:21:22] So that stall this out a little bit. We're waiting for costs.

[1:21:26] For that extra scope.

[1:21:28] On the bright side.

[1:21:30] We're gaining about 16 inches of hallway width.

[1:21:33] Back in both upstairs and downstairs. So I think in the long run.

[1:21:37] This is absolutely the right way to do it.

[1:21:40] And I think it'll.

[1:21:42] Kind of add some value back to the.

[1:21:44] To the building.

[1:21:45] For sure. And like I said, we're.

[1:21:47] Awaiting pricing and scheduling for that.

[1:21:49] But I don't anticipate that.

[1:21:52] Affecting our schedule at all?

[1:21:55] And the last?

[1:21:56] It's just some color changes to our staff lounge and.

[1:22:00] Which is currently part of the.

[1:22:02] Little Cottonwood rim.

[1:22:04] So the downstairs staff lounge.

[1:22:06] The flooring was discontinued, so we just.

[1:22:09] Had actually a good opportunity to revisit that.

[1:22:13] And made some new selections and I think it's actually going to work quite a bit better.

[1:22:20] And that's all I had. Any questions?

[1:22:24] All right, so.

[1:22:25] No.

[1:22:27] The red flags, major red flags, are.

[1:22:30] Indian.

[1:22:31] Burial Ground.

[1:22:32] Nope, trouble.

[1:22:34] They keep asking me about the ghost. Supposedly they've seen it.

[1:22:40] So on track and looking good.

[1:22:42] All right, excellent.

[1:22:43] Thanks.

[1:22:44] Thank you.

[1:22:51] OK, I just wanted to give some context around.

[1:22:55] Where the budget originally started and where we're at now with the budget.

[1:22:59] So in 2025 we had.

[1:23:01] Estimated our relocation cost to be roughly $700,000.

[1:23:05] The construction of City Hall we estimated to be around 8 million and then we planned in $1,000,000 contingency.

[1:23:12] Around this time we had also received an estimate. This was in mid-May. We had received an estimate that the project would cost

[1:23:15] roughly 8 and a half million.

[1:23:19] So that's just some context that's going to be relevant in just a second, but we'll get to that.

[1:23:24] And then Spring Lane we estimated would be.

[1:23:28] 8,967,000.

[1:23:30] And the funding sources we were going to use.

[1:23:32] First was the earmark, which continues to be.

[1:23:36] Elusive.

[1:23:39] Still a big question mark. Can I just are we, is?

[1:23:45] Are things moving?

[1:23:46] We are. We're so right now it is on hold until FEMA issues a notice of funding opportunity.

[1:23:57] Which is a little confusing since there is an appropriation with our name on it, but.

[1:24:03] That is what is happening. It is once that.

[1:24:07] Notice has been issued, then they will resume conversation about whether we're eligible or not.

[1:24:17] And then additionally we had.

[1:24:19] Transferred in $5.8 million from the capital projects fund to the LBA for the construction of these projects and then we.

[1:24:27] Originally planned for $1.1 million worth of grants, donations, sponsorships.

[1:24:32] And then finally, we had our $10 million lease revenue bond that we issued in 2025. So this was.

[1:24:38] The budget as we saw it back in early.

[1:24:41] Around May 2025.

[1:24:43] And if we go to the next slide?

[1:24:46] This is.

[1:24:47] The up-to-date, this is where we're at now. The 2025 LBA bond, we have $10 million from that.

[1:24:54] TRCC grant, we're planning $730,000, which is for the redesign of the auditorium.

[1:25:01] The HVAC Energy Efficiency Grant for $100,000, which has a $43,000 match from the city.

[1:25:08] We have the $5.8 million we transferred in from capital projects.

[1:25:12] We have.

[1:25:13] $180,000 worth of use of capital projects fund balance and that is within the capital projects fund itself. This is what I

[1:25:18] previously mentioned where we had intended to make certain.

[1:25:24] Capital expenditures out of the LBA, we had to move them back to the capital projects fund, per the auditors.

[1:25:30] And then we have $433,000 of general fund fund balance well.

[1:25:34] It's not fund balance, but it's it's cash and expenditure within the general fund.

[1:25:37] And that was primarily for the lease of this building as well as operating costs associated with the project.

[1:25:43] And then finally we have $400,000 of.

[1:25:47] Bond interest and I would encourage the council to view the bond interest.

[1:25:51] Monies not as necessarily readily available to spend. We should probably view it more as we're intending to use it for arbitrage

[1:25:55] rebate.

[1:26:00] Basically, uh uh.

[1:26:02] The IRS doesn't appreciate.

[1:26:04] Municipalities earning interest above what the yield rate is on their bond, we're required to remit that back to the IRS. So.

[1:26:12] It would be prudent to maintain a certain amount of cash in the event we do have an arbitrage rebate liability.

[1:26:19] And then moving on to that.

[1:26:21] Table over on the right. This is the expenditures for the City Hall renovation and I put it into very, you know, summarized

[1:26:26] categories. We have the relocation, the rent and leasehold improvements.

[1:26:32] For 500,000 furniture, fixtures and equipment of 1,000,000.

[1:26:36] Design inspection architecture of 395.

[1:26:39] Construction, uh.

[1:26:40] 4.9 million.

[1:26:42] And then a contingency of 7/22 this was.

[1:26:45] The contingency was originally a million and we've started to.

[1:26:48] To allocate that and if you'll notice we've had seen.

[1:26:50] A pretty significant reduction in what we had originally anticipated the project would cost.

[1:26:55] That's primarily.

[1:26:57] Fortunate timing on our part as well as getting a really competitive bid and a really competitive bidding process.

[1:27:04] We haven't done a reduction and with the.

[1:27:06] Scope of the project will be we've.

[1:27:08] You've just been fortunate so that.

[1:27:10] If we move down to the lower table, you can see we're anticipating after the project having roughly $10 million in cash available

[1:27:15] for Spring Lane.

[1:27:21] With the majority of that being bond proceeds and transfer from.

[1:27:25] The capital projects fund to the LBA.

[1:27:30] So yeah, great news.

[1:27:32] So our initial estimates were 9.7 mil and that were showing 7.6.

[1:27:38] That's great. So let's.

[1:27:39] You know, just short of 2 million savings relative to our initial estimates.

[1:27:43] And that was just because the bids came in that much lower.

[1:27:46] I think it was.

[1:27:47] Primarily a timing thing, and maybe Gina or Joe could speak to this more.

[1:27:50] Than I could, but it's, I think it's mainly a timing thing when we originally received the cost estimates.

[1:27:56] The market was just where it was and then when we got our bids, it was a very competitive process. I think we.

[1:28:01] Received Was it 20?

[1:28:03] Bids originally.

[1:28:06] 20 firms.

[1:28:08] Submitted through call.

[1:28:14] Yeah. So we had a very competitive bidding process and.

[1:28:17] Which is great.

[1:28:19] Great savings for the city.

[1:28:21] And then the actual work being done with.

[1:28:23] Seem to be pretty pleased with their progress and.

[1:28:25] And even though we have this.

[1:28:27] Hallway issue that's still waiting for cost on that we've got some.

[1:28:32] Cushion yes to work with.

[1:28:34] Which would then be utilized. The contingency is what that would be for, so.

[1:28:38] Right. So the fact we have an extra million.

[1:28:41] Available potentially for Spring Lane.

[1:28:43] And that excludes.

[1:28:46] The earmarked.

[1:28:47] That's ever vanishing.

[1:28:50] That could still come through.

[1:28:53] We're in bridge. It also means we can do because I remember we had like tiered system. It feels like we can do all the things that

[1:28:56] we wanted to do with that.

[1:29:00] Right, yes. And, and Holly, when she comes up, she's going to speak about Spring Lane and she's broken out a lot of the different

[1:29:05] amenities that the council can consider and if we end up in a situation where.

[1:29:11] Generally with projects like this, we're going to spend the most restricted revenue sources first. So grants are going to get

[1:29:15] spent first and then the bond is going to get spent after that and then fund balance and interest and those things would be spent

[1:29:20] very last. So theoretically we end up in a situation.

[1:29:25] Like we have here where we've spent all the grant and then the first monies that we're going to spend on Spring Lane will be the

[1:29:28] bond.

[1:29:31] And if there's cash leftover, the council could.

[1:29:34] There isn't any sort of restriction on that cash in. The council could make a decision to use it for Spring Lane or for another

[1:29:37] project.

[1:29:41] Maybe Highland Drive?

[1:29:45] OK. And I'll leave Holly to.

[1:29:48] Talk about Spring Lane.

[1:29:49] Thank you all Good news. Great.

[1:29:53] All right, Part 3.

[1:29:55] Tonight we wanted to get some feedback on Spring Lane. I know we've had a number of presentations over the last couple of months

[1:30:00] as we've worked through this bridging document process.

[1:30:05] And Tate Barney is here from MHT and I want to acknowledge the work they've done with us.

[1:30:09] And they're going to be coming on your July 16th meeting to do a final presentation on the document.

[1:30:14] But as we prepare for that, we wanted to have this broader budget discussion and also make sure that the facilities that are

[1:30:19] included on the plan are the ones that you would like.

[1:30:23] Could you go to the next slide please?

[1:30:26] All right, so this is the latest and greatest site plan that's.

[1:30:30] Currently in the preliminary.

[1:30:31] Bridging document.

[1:30:33] And it has.

[1:30:34] A lot of the elements that you've seen before, but we've also made some adjustments.

[1:30:39] In response to the community engagement that we received.

[1:30:42] As well as the insights we got from the dog park visits.

[1:30:45] And then some guidance that you provided in these past discussions.

[1:30:49] So I'm just going to start from the top with #1 and just work down the list really quick.

[1:30:54] So you'll see the parking lot is still in place. The other parking lot option has been removed.

[1:31:00] We have that access and parking agreement with the adjacent church, so we feel like we are adequately parked, which is fantastic.

[1:31:07] The concrete sidewalks the same.

[1:31:10] Pretty much providing access to the major destinations as well as the perimeter of the park.

[1:31:16] There's also a pavilion that will seat at least 50 people, if not more.

[1:31:20] Which will be great for our residents, for their own private parties, but also for our events.

[1:31:25] There's also a maintenance and restroom structure.

[1:31:28] That's number four. That is going to have restrooms for men and women separated as well as.

[1:31:35] A park facility that will be powered by solar so we can continue to transfer.

[1:31:41] All of our equipment to electric.

[1:31:43] Which will be great.

[1:31:45] The aggregate trail, we did swap the location of that, so now the aggregate trails on the outside.

[1:31:51] We thought that would be better for walkers and joggers who are using the space.

[1:31:55] And to keep that material out of the fields.

[1:31:59] There's also a pretty generous Plaza space. You've seen this before. We did add in, though, some kind of welcoming Spring Lane

[1:32:03] Park sign.

[1:32:07] We'll have the historical marker and then a public art piece possibly, but you see, the design is very reflective of the former

[1:32:12] Spring Lane Elementary School.

[1:32:16] Architect.

[1:32:17] There's there's no elevation.

[1:32:19] There may be elevation. We can determine that when we go to the.

[1:32:24] Design Build.

[1:32:25] But it could have a little variation and we do want to keep the space fairly flexible in case we want to do events over there. I

[1:32:28] mean, there's not.

[1:32:31] Higher elevation there, it's just primarily a ground level, mostly ground.

[1:32:35] Yes, they said it would want to block it.

[1:32:38] Sight lines from No, it does not block that. We keep that as the the primary view.

[1:32:43] The dog park has been moved slightly off of the east boundary.

[1:32:47] When we went through our public engagement process.

[1:32:50] The residents, there was a lot of consistency and feedback that they wanted more buffering.

[1:32:54] So we moved the dog park over and then you'll see the pickleball courts dropped a little bit even more center.

[1:33:00] And MH Stand has done a great job adding trees not only around those facilities but also the whole perimeter.

[1:33:05] Of the park.

[1:33:06] To create some more privacy and buffering.

[1:33:09] And the dog park is also 0.75 acres, so slightly up from our original half acre.

[1:33:15] And has allotted the amenities that we saw when we did the the visit so.

[1:33:20] The two gate entries, Dogway stations and stuff like that.

[1:33:24] The all ages playground is number 8. That's.

[1:33:27] Pretty much the same. We did add some shade cells just because.

[1:33:30] Of the world we live in, and it's hot.

[1:33:32] And we want to keep the little ones safe as they're you're sliding and using the space.

[1:33:38] And then the pickleball courts, as you mentioned, just moved down slightly. We're still proposing 4 courts and you'll see there's

[1:33:41] some landscaping and buffering.

[1:33:45] To help mitigate the noise.

[1:33:48] And then the filled space is also similar to what you've seen before.

[1:33:52] In the next slide, we'll talk budget. There are some options of either totally returning the space or doing some receding.

[1:33:59] And then?

[1:34:00] A couple of meetings ago, the Council did indicate that they're.

[1:34:04] Not prioritizing the reuse of some of the salvage materials.

[1:34:09] So there is a new proposal that we still per build the trellises, but maybe.

[1:34:15] We don't use the gluland beams, but we still honor some of the.

[1:34:18] Lines and shapes from the original building.

[1:34:21] And then the Truss bridges, what's being proposed now instead of like putting the full bridges into the landscaping?

[1:34:27] I'm just salvaging like the sides and making kind of a public art.

[1:34:30] Decorative fencing.

[1:34:32] So that it's.

[1:34:33] Still part of the park, but we don't have the same the.

[1:34:36] Expense and safety concerns that using the full bridge would bring.

[1:34:40] That was a lot in a short amount of time.

[1:34:42] But I just wanted to see if.

[1:34:44] If that is the right list.

[1:34:46] Of amenities be providing if there was anything that was missed.

[1:34:50] Is there anything that you'd like to change?

[1:34:52] I think it's amazing that since we were able to.

[1:34:57] Nail down the parking agreement.

[1:35:00] And absorb.

[1:35:02] That what would have been that S wing of the parking lot. That's really.

[1:35:07] Freed up.

[1:35:08] The amenities in the space.

[1:35:11] And reduced.

[1:35:12] The conflicts.

[1:35:14] Between those amenities.

[1:35:16] I'm, uh, I'm quite in love with this design.

[1:35:21] And I think but one of the keys was.

[1:35:24] Was that parking element and?

[1:35:27] In order to give more.

[1:35:30] Buffer to the fields.

[1:35:32] Without sacrificing utility of the trails around the edges because those.

[1:35:37] The trails I believe were the most popular.

[1:35:40] I mentioned.

[1:35:42] And.

[1:35:44] If those were going to be too crowded, you could see, you know.

[1:35:47] Kids using if there's a soccer game or practice going on.

[1:35:50] All the fans were going to be sitting essentially on the trail.

[1:35:53] Making them less useful and so this.

[1:35:55] Certainly.

[1:35:57] Provide some additional buffer for.

[1:36:00] You know parents attending games their practices without.

[1:36:03] Blocking the trails.

[1:36:05] The one thing a small item I'm.

[1:36:08] I'm curious to have the professional feedback on would be.

[1:36:12] Whether the bathrooms?

[1:36:14] That seemed to be.

[1:36:15] Uh, configured.

[1:36:17] Going North and South.

[1:36:19] If those maybe could be considered.

[1:36:21] To go east and West so they're closer to the.

[1:36:24] Playground.

[1:36:26] You sound like you've been to the park with little kids recently. Well, I just remember mothers telling that you need to be able

[1:36:30] to see the restroom doors.

[1:36:34] From the playground just to make them.

[1:36:36] Safer and mother's less nervous.

[1:36:41] And that would.

[1:36:42] And by putting it east West.

[1:36:45] To the South of the pavilion.

[1:36:47] Makes them no less useful to the pavilion.

[1:36:51] But then opens up.

[1:36:52] Visible. You know, sight lines for.

[1:36:55] Mothers concerned about.

[1:36:57] Does it depend on where the doors are though? Because if the doors are.

[1:37:00] On the east side.

[1:37:03] Well, yeah, I mean.

[1:37:04] Those are some of the nitty gritty, dirty details that just to be considered, yeah.

[1:37:08] On the.

[1:37:09] On a NS orientation versus an east West.

[1:37:12] That's more adjacent to the playground.

[1:37:15] And we probably could do east, West kind of perpendicular, so the pavilion this way and maybe the.

[1:37:19] Maybe seeing things in tapes like no.

[1:37:22] Oh yeah, you could reorient the pavilion to be.

[1:37:24] This way.

[1:37:26] So the doors face the playground, right?

[1:37:29] So we could.

[1:37:30] We could look, which is kind of what I envisioned for the pavilion anyway, being more east, West.

[1:37:35] With the sight lines enhanced with a longer line going this way.

[1:37:39] So it really opens up, yeah.

[1:37:41] OK. I think that's a really good point.

[1:37:43] Can you explain that?

[1:37:45] Decision on the laminate beam trellis again.

[1:37:48] Pardon the the chalice, Yeah.

[1:37:50] And so the glue land beams that we salvage from the building are interior materials.

[1:37:55] They would have to be treated in a very specialized way to be used outside and then the ongoing maintenance is very.

[1:38:02] Particular and difficult.

[1:38:04] So we're just a little worried that we're going to be placing something that's just going to be kind of a headache.

[1:38:09] And so we were trying to explore knowing that it wasn't as important to the council.

[1:38:13] How can we still honor that heritage without using the materials?

[1:38:17] What we're hoping is to find another use for them.

[1:38:20] I think the major.

[1:38:22] Honoring the school are those.

[1:38:24] Would be the.

[1:38:25] Plaza design.

[1:38:26] That replicates the imagery on the front of the old building.

[1:38:30] It's.

[1:38:31] Cubisty style stuff.

[1:38:36] I think the.

[1:38:38] The size of the dog park? I thought 1/2 acre was going to be too small.

[1:38:42] So I'm.

[1:38:42] Pleased that.

[1:38:44] It's bigger, but not dominating.

[1:38:47] And the 0.75 seems.

[1:38:51] I mean I.

[1:38:52] I'd consider as high as an acre, but then I wouldn't know where to put it in this design other than.

[1:38:57] Encroaching on that.

[1:38:58] Buffer to the east.

[1:39:01] Umm.

[1:39:04] But yeah.

[1:39:05] Really good job of fitting in the amenities that we really.

[1:39:08] Prioritize. Yeah, I agree.

[1:39:10] And I also really appreciate.

[1:39:13] Just because I feel like some of the most negative feedback was concerned for noise from the football courts and the dogs. And so

[1:39:18] I just appreciate that those are really central and that we have.

[1:39:22] To the degree it's possible, kind of moved the kids away from the dog park too, so that.

[1:39:27] Ideally, we can.

[1:39:28] We can separate.

[1:39:30] Kids that don't want to be by dogs.

[1:39:32] And it's end up moving it to the West makes it.

[1:39:36] Or easily accessible from.

[1:39:37] Directly from the parking lot.

[1:39:39] Yep, so we seem to have.

[1:39:42] Addressed a lot of the major.

[1:39:45] Goofiness.

[1:39:47] That it's working out great.

[1:39:50] Any other comments on?

[1:39:51] The plan?

[1:39:52] OK, let's talk money.

[1:39:55] So.

[1:39:57] Christian shared the good news that we do have some more budget available because city halls come under what we originally

[1:40:00] anticipated.

[1:40:04] So this is a simple.

[1:40:06] Table that just summarizes.

[1:40:07] A cost estimate we recently received.

[1:40:10] And the first column is if we did everything.

[1:40:13] Right now.

[1:40:14] As we move into this next phase.

[1:40:16] So each element is broken down.

[1:40:19] And then the very last row is kind of a lump sum that includes contingency, contingency design and some other things.

[1:40:27] So there's more detail there if you'd like me to get into it, but.

[1:40:32] Generally speaking, in option 1, the multi-purpose field.

[1:40:35] That would be if we totally returfed everything.

[1:40:39] The benefit of that is we can put in some type of turf that's more water efficient.

[1:40:44] It would also create a very safe plots.

[1:40:47] Play space for games or practices.

[1:40:49] It would allow us to redo the irrigation system again to maximize water efficiency.

[1:40:53] So that 1.5 relative to the .58 includes new irrigation.

[1:40:58] New Turkey.

[1:40:59] New turf and new immigration? Or is it new irrigation? Regardless, it's modifying the current irrigation.

[1:41:06] So we'd be doing some new but.

[1:41:08] Using I think we use the main line, but we do some.

[1:41:10] New to support the new GRASS.

[1:41:12] Do we have a sense of?

[1:41:14] What the water savings would be on that new turf.

[1:41:18] Both like in terms of like water usage and then also I don't think we have that detail yet.

[1:41:36] OK. And we're doing the sprinklers would also?

[1:41:39] It would help this well.

[1:41:43] And then the second option, as Mayor was saying, is just receding. So we basically.

[1:41:48] Use what we've got.

[1:41:49] And refeed to hopefully improve again the water efficiency.

[1:41:54] And just the overall experience of the.

[1:41:56] To play on the field.

[1:41:59] And then what's that third?

[1:42:01] And then in option three, option three and four are very.

[1:42:05] Subjective. I mean, it's more about.

[1:42:07] What the Council would like to prioritize.

[1:42:09] In option three, we could reduce the amount of the playground space that we're building out and.

[1:42:14] We have talked about trying to find a.

[1:42:17] Partner to maybe work on?

[1:42:19] A bouldering garden or a climbing wall.

[1:42:21] So that's something we could pursue outside of of the scope if you'd like us to.

[1:42:26] The fourth option contemplates.

[1:42:29] Excuse me, I said the opposite. No, the fourth option is the Plaza.

[1:42:32] So as you saw in the design, it's the Plaza is quite big. So if you'd like to pull back some of.

[1:42:37] The funding for that phase, we could simplify that a bit more and.

[1:42:42] Still get some of the design features in, but maybe not.

[1:42:45] Not everything.

[1:42:47] But if you like where we're at, we can do option one. We just wanted to make sure you were comfortable with how we were moving

[1:42:51] forward and how you were preparing the bridging document.

[1:42:56] One thing Tate did tell me before the meeting is.

[1:42:58] We can put everything in the Virgin document and then when we contract with the design build partner.

[1:43:04] We can reduce the scope so you don't have to make final decisions.

[1:43:08] If you're still not quite sure what you'd like to do.

[1:43:12] Yeah, I think.

[1:43:14] The the one thing it'd be nice to have a little more info on.

[1:43:18] Would be.

[1:43:20] Yes, some more studied.

[1:43:22] Pros and cons of the turf.

[1:43:24] Option because I just don't know that.

[1:43:28] And of the quality of the current DERF, how recoverable it is.

[1:43:31] Also.

[1:43:32] You know what sort of?

[1:43:35] You know, responsible irrigation.

[1:43:39] Improvements can be made, I know we made those.

[1:43:42] Great improvements at City Hall Park and Knudsen Park.

[1:43:45] And it seems to me.

[1:43:47] An opportunity to replicate that success.

[1:43:49] At Spring Lane.

[1:43:50] But that would require.

[1:43:52] You know some.

[1:43:53] Some upgrades.

[1:43:54] And I.

[1:43:56] I just presume that the irrigation system at Spring Lane is the typical elementary school.

[1:44:02] Blast water all over the place.

[1:44:03] Kind of a deal.

[1:44:06] And there's.

[1:44:07] Probably a fair amount of opportunity to.

[1:44:10] Be more responsible irrigating.

[1:44:12] There but.

[1:44:13] That would require this upfront investment.

[1:44:16] But it seems.

[1:44:18] The money is.

[1:44:20] Have a peer.

[1:44:23] I would agree with the mayor that.

[1:44:26] I feel like.

[1:44:27] To be good long term stewards of the city.

[1:44:30] And our water usage in this area if we.

[1:44:33] If we have the opportunity to.

[1:44:37] Create a space that is more water efficient.

[1:44:40] At this time, but if we need more information to really like flesh that out.

[1:44:44] I'm interested in that, but I I'm.

[1:44:46] I am interested in.

[1:44:48] Really looking at that and seeing that because the other element as well is.

[1:44:52] The primary use of the green space.

[1:44:54] Fields are playfield.

[1:44:57] And so if we can.

[1:44:58] Not diminish the utilization of those fields for what they're designed for.

[1:45:04] And at the same time.

[1:45:06] You know, so have robust.

[1:45:07] Craft that looks good but also fulfills its purpose.

[1:45:10] But then we can also irrigate it.

[1:45:12] Most responsible way without.

[1:45:15] Damaging utility.

[1:45:16] Therefore, in the 1st place, yeah.

[1:45:18] And some of the irrigation improvements will also be moving to drip line. So you may have noticed on the plan there, I think

[1:45:22] there's like 150 to 200 trees, so.

[1:45:27] Pretty robust.

[1:45:28] In the bed surrounding so those would be drippling.

[1:45:30] Yeah, and we wouldn't be.

[1:45:32] As you said, near.

[1:45:33] Just doing sprinklers and then a traditional elementary school field setting.

[1:45:39] And that's included in all of the options, correct? OK.

[1:45:43] So the extra mill is primarily the.

[1:45:48] But we can come back to you on the 16th with some more information on that.

[1:45:53] Yeah. The other thing is would would be if we if.

[1:45:55] It's tough to do.

[1:45:59] It seems to me.

[1:46:00] I'm not a landscape.

[1:46:01] Person so I don't even mow my own lawn.

[1:46:07] But.

[1:46:10] To decide later to do the turf when we've already got the trails.

[1:46:14] Laid out.

[1:46:15] I would seem to be.

[1:46:17] Yeah, has a potential of, you know.

[1:46:20] Disruptive node.

[1:46:21] 2 steps forward to one step back.

[1:46:23] Unnecessarily.

[1:46:24] Yes. So it's like it's either.

[1:46:26] We're not going to do it, ever.

[1:46:28] Or we do it.

[1:46:29] Up front.

[1:46:30] Otherwise.

[1:46:32] You affect.

[1:46:35] That border area?

[1:46:37] Because it would be all of it. You wouldn't just re turf them.

[1:46:40] Field piece. I'm assuming we're returning the whole area.

[1:46:44] Returning the filled space.

[1:46:47] What one other thing too is remembering that the cost of water is.

[1:46:52] Ever increasing and so.

[1:46:54] For years in the future.

[1:46:58] I think an investment in doing.

[1:47:00] The fields right and doing the irrigation system right now.

[1:47:04] Is going to pay for itself.

[1:47:06] Probably.

[1:47:07] Down the road.

[1:47:09] Yeah.

[1:47:12] OK. Stephanie, go to the last slide please.

[1:47:19] All right, so we already did #1 thank you for that feedback. I also wanted to let you know that we do have two grant applications

[1:47:23] pending for this project.

[1:47:27] And I do have intentions to apply for more.

[1:47:30] Until we start for construction.

[1:47:32] And as Christian explained, the more money we bring in.

[1:47:35] The more money you'll have available in your capital fund.

[1:47:38] Balance, which you can use for other projects. So we're going to keep pursuing funding even though we're in a really healthy

[1:47:41] budget space.

[1:47:45] So we'll keep you posted on those. One has been submitted to the Desolate County ZAP Recreation Bond.

[1:47:50] And the second is through the track program.

[1:47:53] At one point.

[1:47:54] When we were in negotiations with Granite School District, we seem.

[1:47:58] There was concern that if we weren't.

[1:48:01] All right, owners of the property, we would be.

[1:48:03] In lesser positions for some of these grants is that.

[1:48:07] Seeming to be the case or.

[1:48:09] In some of them in.

[1:48:11] The two that we've applied, we just have to provide our these and then a letter from.

[1:48:16] The landlord, which is the school district, saying that they have our permission.

[1:48:19] OK, there are some grants that it will be problematic.

[1:48:23] But these ones are fine.

[1:48:24] These these were good.

[1:48:25] So but also some of these ground state.

[1:48:27] They like the fact that we've already got matching money and they're shovel ready.

[1:48:31] Yes, versus.

[1:48:32] Stuff you have to build and stack overtime it's.

[1:48:35] Ready to use DOE as?

[1:48:38] Sounds great.

[1:48:40] Yeah, let's let's do that.

[1:48:41] Go for it, because no more we can get.

[1:48:43] For the parking lot, the more we have available for our.

[1:48:46] Drive project which also those grants are also more likely to be awarded.

[1:48:51] If we've already got our own matching funds.

[1:48:53] Yes, so.

[1:48:54] Yeah, love it.

[1:48:55] All right. And so next steps from here, we're still preparing that document. We'll come back on the July 16th meeting.

[1:49:02] And then our intention is to go out for a design build implementation.

[1:49:06] Or a similar delivery.

[1:49:07] Method. So we'll keep in touch with you as we kind of move through that.

[1:49:11] And then I just wanted to let you know that community communication will be ongoing. So if you hear from your constituents.

[1:49:16] Please let them know that we will continue to share updates and where we're at in the process.

[1:49:21] I think the community is really excited about this park and we're excited about it too.

[1:49:25] So, umm.

[1:49:27] I think we're ready to move forward. I'll share these comments with the MHTN team. If there's anything that comes to mind after

[1:49:31] the meeting too, feel free to reach out and.

[1:49:36] We'll make sure we incorporate those.

[1:49:37] Thank you.

[1:49:41] Oh, it's just all great news.

[1:49:44] OK, I presume.

[1:49:47] Please we have a closed session no?

[1:49:52] Well, then B there's only there's only what item number 18?

[1:49:57] To adjourn second.

[1:49:59] All in favor.

[1:50:00] Aye, we are adjourned. Thank you very much.
