Mayor Sudbury is excused this evening. Our mayor pro-town Terry George is out of town tonight, but he's joining us online. And it is better if the chair is actually on sight in the room.

I'm sorry, like an update on that. And then, I'm once again going 29 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,280 to bring up the sky bridge. I was traveling down 6200, yes, for a day. And there is a sky 30 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,020 bridge for every single school that's on the other side of 6200. They each get their own. 31 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:47,340 We don't have one, but we have two schools on the other side of 8400, an elementary and 32 00:03:47,340 --> 00:03:56,280 high school so why if other children get to have the safety of the sky bridge are we requiring 33 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:03,380 our students, our children, to cross 8400 at a crosswalk where we have now removed 34 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:12,160 the gravel pit for one-ray, one-ray trucks.

It was my understanding that they were going to put stamp concrete like from Wingpoint to 46 00:05:03,580 --> 00:05:09,340 Magnolia. It was all finished with stamp concrete, but they put I was told like 47 00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:19,020 I'm excited to see how many rocks end up in the road or in people's yards. 48 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,420 So that's just a question I'd like to capture. Thanks. 49 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:30,480 Thank you. Okay, we will move on. Item number six is our consent agenda. 50 00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:34,740 Mr. Chair, I'll move.

I'll be brief. I'm Lisa Henry. I'm the co-chair of the Magna 9-11 Magna Remembers event that 64 00:06:34,460 --> 00:06:46,580 Dan Payne I began in 2005 and this is the 25th anniversary for the Magna 9-11 event in 65 00:06:46,580 --> 00:06:52,840 the United States and it's our 26th anniversary of doing it for Magna. The event will be held 66 00:06:52,840 --> 00:07:02,600 on Friday, September 11th at 7 p.m. at the UFA Station 102 on Magna Main Street, where 67 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:09,600 we have a permanent memorial and we invite the public to come out to that and we're excited 68 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:16,760 for it. I have an understanding that I can move ahead with a new banner since ours is about 69 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:23,520 26 years old and falling apart and we will be putting together a memorial wreath for that as well. 70 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:31,000 I was wondering and this might be an item that would be answered. It may be next meeting or it might 71 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,020 still be up in the air. I know that part of the memorial we were trying to have the water feature 72 00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:46,640 working. I don't know if that is still an option and know that there was a water pipe issue with 73 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:52,600 that and I'm not sure if that's something that would be resolved well before the event or if 74 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:58,380 that's something that is going to be tabled for a later time but that was one question that I had 75 00:07:58,380 --> 00:07:59,480 about the water feature. 76 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,820 And then I would think I would get with SAC with UFA, 77 00:08:05,660 --> 00:08:10,000 Chief Procopus, about a list of those who we would want 78 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,860 to honor again this year, who have paid the ultimate sacrifice 79 00:08:15,860 --> 00:08:17,620 in their firefighting efforts. 80 00:08:17,620 --> 00:08:22,020 And I know that there's been a lot of that unfortunate 81 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,620 that has happened throughout the west this year. 82 00:08:26,380 --> 00:08:35,060 I'll also get with Chief Benadette, excuse me, with EPD to find out who we may want 83 00:08:35,060 --> 00:08:42,900 to recognize from our community, and I usually do statewide remembrance as well, and so 84 00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:48,040 I will talk to you about that so that we make sure that we honor everyone properly and respectfully. 85 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:55,580 That's fully, I don't know, for the Veterans Park, is out now under the purview of the 86 00:08:55,580 --> 00:09:04,080 VFW in order for us to post our banner to let the public know that we'll be having our 87 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,860 event at the, who handles the Veterans Park? 88 00:09:09,060 --> 00:09:15,640 That is the council here, okay, I have some misinformation, so I will be posting our banner 89 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:22,960 there with your permission and thank you and that's all I had at this juncture do you have any 90 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:32,440 questions for me okay I don't know if the city has access to a PA or a sound system for that 91 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:41,480 night's event and who are we coordinate with that you do okay and I can follow up offline so thank you 92 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,660 for your support. I know that Mike was there for the first event that we have at the Veterans Park, 93 00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:52,760 so I look forward to seeing you there again, and obviously I invite all of you to be there, 94 00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:57,900 and I thank the Mayor for the support for this all these years as well. So thank you. 95 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,620 Thank you, Lisa, for all your years of dedication to this project. I will get in touch with Kelly Miller 96 00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:10,140 to sign a chief with the UFA. We'll make sure the station knows about that event. It's on their 97 00:10:10,140 --> 00:10:13,940 calendar and I will have one of the firefighters take a look at that pump and see 98 00:10:13,940 --> 00:10:17,760 you see what it needs if we can have it operation on a month we'd love to have it 99 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:24,120 operation. Even if it's just for that evening it would be a nice compliment to 100 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,420 the tribute so thank you very much all of you I appreciate it and I hope to see 101 00:10:28,420 --> 00:10:33,120 all of you there.

Thank you. 102 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,200 Thank 103 00:10:38,540 --> 00:10:46,120 Okay thank you nine B discussion and potential action regarding drainage 104 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,740 improvements related to the 80th West Improvement Project Chad Anderson 105 00:10:50,740 --> 00:10:52,420 Assistant City Engineer 106 00:10:52,420 --> 00:10:53,160 It's 107 00:10:56,110 --> 00:10:57,530 a long walk to town 108 00:10:58,150 --> 00:11:02,450 Do you have something you want to share up there? 109 00:11:02,890 --> 00:11:04,990 It's the same thing that was on the agenda 110 00:11:06,670 --> 00:11:10,190 I need you to join the Zoom and then you can share your screen that way. 111 00:11:11,590 --> 00:11:13,570 No, because it'll take out the little message. 112 00:11:14,450 --> 00:11:15,870 Okay, this is going to take a little bit. 113 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,840 Let me see. Is it just the letter? 114 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:24,260 Yeah. 115 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,440 Oh, okay, I can put that up. Sorry, I thought there was something else. 116 00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:27,300 I thought there was something else. 117 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,340 Yep, I will get that up in free. 118 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:28,980 Okay. 119 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,600 This is the same thing that was on the last meeting. 120 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,060 It's a letter. 121 00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:37,260 It's designed by the city or on behalf of the city. 122 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,880 two Salt Lake County flood control acknowledging key statement is magnet 123 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,600 recognizes that during periods of flow of high flow within the existing 124 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,940 clover on 8,000 West some additional local ice ponding may occur temporarily 125 00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:57,380 until the flow of the 8,000 West system receives to a level that allows surface 126 00:11:57,380 --> 00:12:01,540 turnout to enter the storm ring but that such additional climbing is unlikely 127 00:12:01,540 --> 00:12:06,680 that they're in property or public health or safety. So this is an 128 00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:14,380 an acknowledgement that flight control wanted this in order to give us approval or permit to 129 00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:22,480 actually widen the road. So this is necessary for the road widening project. It's been reviewed by the city attorney. 130 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,760 And yeah, do you have any questions regarding this? 131 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,640 Thank you. Can you give the thumbs up? 132 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,100 Yeah, it includes my evidence. I think yes. 133 00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:38,640 The point to keep in mind here from a legal perspective is that every storm grain system, regardless of how perfect it is, 134 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,140 ponding is always possible if you get a large enough storm. 135 00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:44,780 So that's what this is trying to say. 136 00:12:44,980 --> 00:12:50,340 It's okay, ponding is going to occur, but it already is occurring now if you have a large enough storm in there. 137 00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:55,140 But engineering is to confirm that it's unlikely to cause any real problem. 138 00:12:55,380 --> 00:12:57,960 So anybody who's seeing like, I have a big storm in my house today. 139 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,760 a bunch of rain drop down, ponding, and stuff went in. 140 00:13:02,020 --> 00:13:02,660 Nothing got hurt. 141 00:13:03,380 --> 00:13:04,420 That's the point of this. 142 00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:06,620 Yeah, we understand that we may see a little bit more ponding 143 00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:08,240 but we're not expecting anybody to get hurt. 144 00:13:09,860 --> 00:13:12,020 So this letter includes my answer. 145 00:13:12,580 --> 00:13:12,680 Okay. 146 00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:15,380 Yeah, it's for the Martha. 147 00:13:15,740 --> 00:13:17,740 There's only very specific conditions 148 00:13:17,740 --> 00:13:21,200 that this could really occur in a normal storm. 149 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,880 This could be the trunk line would have to be used 150 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,820 for diversions from the use on solid canal to the river canal. 151 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,620 That's kind of sacred, it's the primary function of this storm grain. 152 00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:41,180 It's actually the diversion between those two, but it is very unlikely to be used. 153 00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:47,880 Not usually used at all, and definitely not used to the flook of acid, because I don't believe it here. 154 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:55,560 Mr. Chair, I'll move that we authorize the city manager to sign the letter and send it to Subway Council. 155 00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:56,600 I'll second. 156 00:13:57,060 --> 00:14:00,780 I have a motion to second any further discussion. All in favor? 157 00:14:01,140 --> 00:14:01,260 Aye. 158 00:14:02,220 --> 00:14:02,400 Aye. 159 00:14:03,020 --> 00:14:03,460 Any opposed? 160 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:05,800 Motion carries. 161 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:06,360 Thank you. 162 00:14:06,620 --> 00:14:07,240 Thank you. 163 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:16,700 Item number 9c, discussion of potential action regarding ordinance 2026-017, adopting the 164 00:14:16,700 --> 00:14:19,520 in 2024, International Wildland Urban Interface Code, 165 00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:22,220 City Attorney Nathan Racken. 166 00:14:24,390 --> 00:14:28,390 Thank you, Mr. Mayor, for attending for this meeting. 167 00:14:29,510 --> 00:14:31,970 So as the council may recall, 168 00:14:32,110 --> 00:14:33,670 those of you who were on the council last year, 169 00:14:33,830 --> 00:14:36,510 the legislature passed legislation last year 170 00:14:36,510 --> 00:14:39,390 that required every city to do two things. 171 00:14:39,470 --> 00:14:42,570 One was to adopt the Wildland Urban Interface Code. 172 00:14:42,970 --> 00:14:44,850 The legislation that was passed in 2025 173 00:14:44,850 --> 00:14:51,010 75 required us to adopt, I believe, an older section's cousin, and so they required us 174 00:14:51,010 --> 00:14:55,950 to do that and then they required us to adopt a related map that depicted which parts 175 00:14:55,950 --> 00:14:59,710 of the city are subject to that code now. 176 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:28,760 While under the interface code is more, most commonly applied if you have a cabin in the woods, but it also applies to land that a bus areas that are undeveloped. So for instance, the parts of magnitude, but they don't cyber and grasslands come down or are undeveloped to Agland. So, magnitude that last year you adopted the code. It's now part of your city code and then you also adopted a map that depicted those parts of town that are subject to it, to comply with last year's legislation. 177 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:35,600 This year, the legislature passed another bill requiring us to swap out the older section 178 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,220 of the international Louis code with the latest addition, which is the 2024 addition. 179 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:46,760 So the code that you see changed now literally just swaps out the old date and puts in 2024 180 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,680 international while the end of the interface code doesn't make any changes to the map. 181 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:57,040 It's just updating the international standard code that we would be using for Louis from the 182 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,840 the older one to the new 2024 edition to comply with state law, so it's all this 183 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,220 already stuff. This is the final step that will bring us into compliance. We're done with 184 00:16:06,220 --> 00:16:12,240 wooing. Hopefully, I wouldn't be surprised, and I don't know for sure, but with all the 185 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,540 wildfire activity this year, I wouldn't be surprised if we see some more legislation. 186 00:16:17,820 --> 00:16:22,180 Because there wasn't clarifying legislation in the past that didn't require us to do anything, 187 00:16:22,180 --> 00:16:28,360 But one of the things that the legislature said last year is that certain categories 188 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:33,780 of property that had placed some restrictions on city councils being too onerous, right? 189 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,860 And in some city, we're going kind of above and beyond and they were, you know, applying 190 00:16:37,860 --> 00:16:43,020 a Louis code to properties that probably didn't need to be subject to it, so they put some 191 00:16:43,020 --> 00:16:43,860 strictures on that. 192 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,020 But I don't know. 193 00:16:45,220 --> 00:16:50,140 With a wildfire, you're like this, I expect we'll see some legislation, but there isn't 194 00:16:50,140 --> 00:16:53,680 another version of wooly to adopt. So at least we'll have that. 195 00:16:54,340 --> 00:17:02,860 Okay, thank you. Mr. Chair, I'll move that we approve ordinance 2026-017. 196 00:17:03,700 --> 00:17:08,700 I'll second. Motion in a second. Any further discussion? All in favor? 197 00:17:09,180 --> 00:17:14,140 Hi. Hi. Any opposed? Motion carries. Thank you Nathan. 198 00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:19,160 So while I'm up here, I can report a little bit on item D and then if there are more specific 199 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:24,820 questions, Brian's here to help out. So as you know each year the City adopts an updated fee 200 00:17:24,820 --> 00:17:30,060 schedule to keep pace with costs and reflected here in cost to doing business. These fees are 201 00:17:30,060 --> 00:17:34,340 developed by the MSD staff because they're the ones that are your administrative staff, 202 00:17:34,620 --> 00:17:38,240 particular planning and zoning. So this is a fee schedule that's gone through legal review 203 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,900 because some of the fees here have land use components to it. Land use fees are considered 204 00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:48,040 land use regulations. So we have also run the Student Planning Commission. They reviewed it as well. 205 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,240 I don't think there's too many changes from what you've seen in years past. 206 00:17:52,420 --> 00:17:58,220 I do think Ryan Kirkman, there is a more streamlined approach to parking violations, I'm not mistaken. 207 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:05,120 That's right, and there's also a streamlined approach to engineering fees. 208 00:18:05,340 --> 00:18:11,260 Previously, they were calculated based on the cost of a bond, so if there wasn't a bond, 209 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,420 then the fee might only be a hundred to base fee, a hundred and twenty-five dollars, 210 00:18:15,420 --> 00:18:23,220 or in other circumstances where the bond was really high, it could be hundreds of thousands 211 00:18:23,220 --> 00:18:27,040 of dollars when we didn't put in hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of work. 212 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:33,980 So what we've gone to is more of a system that's based on a base fee plus a per watt or per 213 00:18:33,980 --> 00:18:40,740 acre fee which will result in something more akin to what it's actually costing the MSD by 214 00:18:40,740 --> 00:18:41,320 that service. 215 00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:46,540 One of the reasons why we need to make continual adjustments to the fees is that we can't. 216 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,700 We're not supposed to be exploiting our citizens and making money off these fees. 217 00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:52,820 That the purpose of these fees is to cover our costs. 218 00:18:53,420 --> 00:18:57,180 Sometimes we'll impose a fee and that actually legitimately covers our costs. 219 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,100 And then things will change or we'll legislate to modify things that we have to do. 220 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,540 And those costs can go up or down. 221 00:19:03,220 --> 00:19:10,780 And so I think that's an instance of us trying to right size the cost and accurately reflect the cost we're incurring to be fair to our citizens. 222 00:19:10,780 --> 00:19:13,100 And so I think the most part is not that different. 223 00:19:13,180 --> 00:19:15,360 I mean, these kids are kind of an iterative update, 224 00:19:15,580 --> 00:19:17,340 but those are the big ones. 225 00:19:19,260 --> 00:19:20,900 Does that not require a public hearing 226 00:19:20,900 --> 00:19:22,020 when you're changing fees? 227 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,640 Well, we did go to a public hearing with the planning commission. 228 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,220 All of they did. 229 00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:28,760 But no, this is anything you don't always require 230 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,660 if you're hearing, but in this case, 231 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,060 we did go to a public hearing process in the lady space. 232 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:32,840 Thank you. 233 00:19:32,940 --> 00:19:34,940 Most of the fees are going to have their teeth. 234 00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:35,480 Okay. 235 00:19:37,020 --> 00:19:37,940 Mr. Chair, I'll move. 236 00:19:37,940 --> 00:19:43,100 approve the approved ordinance 2026-019. 237 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:44,820 I'll second. 238 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,160 We have motion in second, any further discussion? 239 00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:48,840 All in favor? 240 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:49,560 Aye. 241 00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:51,580 Any opposed? 242 00:19:53,580 --> 00:19:54,700 That motion carries. 243 00:19:56,220 --> 00:19:57,040 Item E. 244 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:57,940 Distress? 245 00:19:58,460 --> 00:19:58,900 Oh, go ahead. 246 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:00,700 I'm sorry, I got ahead of you there. 247 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,820 So, as I think most of you may know, 248 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,820 Chief Del Craig, the precinct chief here, 249 00:20:05,820 --> 00:20:13,240 magna for UPD has, as I think, stepped down or retired. And so that requires a replacement. 250 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:19,520 This is a UPD process. It is not a mag to process per se, but under the interlocal agreement 251 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:25,060 that magna is a part of with UPD and the other member entities of UPD. The replacement of a 252 00:20:25,060 --> 00:20:29,680 precinct chief goes through UPD's internal policies. UPD has an internal policy, I believe. 253 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:48,100 Chief Master of Agriculture from Policy 200 that requires the impaneling of a hiring committee and then the hiring committee will interview candidates, make a recommendation and that recommendation will go to both Magden and the other member of the precinct, which is Cofferton, which I also represent. 254 00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:52,900 Now, I wasn't a part of this hiring committee, but I understand that there were three council 255 00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:58,120 members from Magna and one council member from Cofferton who interviewed, I think, six 256 00:20:58,120 --> 00:20:58,520 candidates. 257 00:20:59,140 --> 00:21:03,040 And after interviewing those candidates, the recommendation that they're making both to 258 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,520 Magna and then to Cofferton next week is that Lieutenant Chris Benedict is a person that 259 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,860 is selected as the next president of the chief. 260 00:21:10,460 --> 00:21:14,500 That decision, I believe, will also need to be ratified by the UPD board, if I'm not mistaken. 261 00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:16,840 So this is the step in that process, 262 00:21:17,020 --> 00:21:18,460 opportunity to do the same thing, 263 00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:21,000 and then it'll go back to the UPD forward. 264 00:21:21,220 --> 00:21:24,840 So in the past, and this was prior to my time representing you, 265 00:21:25,020 --> 00:21:26,520 but in representing other UPD entities, 266 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,160 we would typically just have a vote on the record 267 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,320 and the minutes will be enough to memorialize 268 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,420 that that ratification of the selection committee's recommendation. 269 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,000 However, I understand in talking to UPD's legal counsel 270 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,860 that they now prefer a written resolution. 271 00:21:40,220 --> 00:21:41,580 So I prepared one. 272 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:42,760 That's the purpose of this. 273 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,940 the resolution basically gratifies the selection of Chris Benedict as you're 274 00:21:47,940 --> 00:21:52,500 increasing chief subject to comfort and also the board proving that selection 275 00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:56,780 and then it also expresses thanks for chief craves years of dedicated service 276 00:21:56,780 --> 00:21:57,120 to make. 277 00:21:59,430 --> 00:22:01,530 Thank you Chair 278 00:22:04,950 --> 00:22:09,790 I'll move but we approve resolution 2026-4 279 00:22:15,710 --> 00:22:19,950 I have a motion in second. Any further discussion? 280 00:22:21,530 --> 00:22:23,070 Hearing none, all in favor? Aye. 281 00:22:24,210 --> 00:22:25,410 Aye. Any opposed? 282 00:22:27,690 --> 00:22:28,370 Motion carries. 283 00:22:29,610 --> 00:22:31,330 Congratulations, Chief Benedict. 284 00:22:36,910 --> 00:22:41,550 Item F. Discussion and potential action regarding approval of a cooperative wildfire 285 00:22:42,190 --> 00:22:45,930 system agreement with the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lines, 286 00:22:46,130 --> 00:22:51,350 Nathan. So items F and G are related. So the first item, what we're talking 287 00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:56,130 about now, is there's a program at the state level that's administered by 288 00:22:56,130 --> 00:22:58,750 the Division of Forestry and Fire and State Lines. It's called the Cooperative 289 00:22:58,750 --> 00:23:03,810 Wild Fire System. And that's essentially, and I'm oversimplifying it in Mayor 290 00:23:03,810 --> 00:23:07,470 Pro Tem, I'm sure you could probably provide more details, but it's basically in 291 00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:10,870 In some ways, an insurance policy for catastrophic wildfire 292 00:23:10,870 --> 00:23:13,250 that cities can benefit from. 293 00:23:13,850 --> 00:23:17,070 Historically, we have been able to be a part of this program 294 00:23:17,070 --> 00:23:20,230 through our interlocal agreement with UFA, 295 00:23:20,710 --> 00:23:21,910 our identified fire authority, 296 00:23:22,010 --> 00:23:23,410 which is the city's fire department, 297 00:23:23,530 --> 00:23:25,070 which is a special district. 298 00:23:25,950 --> 00:23:28,190 In UFA, I'm sorry, UFA is an interlocal entity, 299 00:23:28,610 --> 00:23:31,510 and UFA has fulfilled all the responsibilities, 300 00:23:31,510 --> 00:23:33,250 and I believe they've actually had the agreements 301 00:23:33,970 --> 00:23:35,430 with Forestry Fire State Lands. 302 00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:39,830 This year however, Forestry Fire State Lands has determined that the way that the state 303 00:23:39,830 --> 00:23:44,070 law has written that these agreements actually need to be with the individual municipalities. 304 00:23:44,750 --> 00:23:50,530 And I've had a couple calls with the Forestry Fire State Lands people and I think everyone 305 00:23:50,530 --> 00:23:55,070 agrees that the way that the code is written out really doesn't accurately reflect your situation 306 00:23:55,510 --> 00:24:00,810 which is that you are getting your fire service through a interlocal entity or a special district 307 00:24:00,810 --> 00:24:03,230 which is really quite common throughout the state. 308 00:24:03,450 --> 00:24:06,050 But the law, the way that it's written in the state code now, 309 00:24:06,150 --> 00:24:08,330 it essentially presumes that every city is 310 00:24:08,330 --> 00:24:09,550 going to have its own fire department. 311 00:24:09,770 --> 00:24:11,810 And that's kind of forced to fires concern. 312 00:24:12,130 --> 00:24:13,310 I think they just want to make sure 313 00:24:13,310 --> 00:24:14,670 that if there's wildfires increased, 314 00:24:14,970 --> 00:24:17,630 they want to make sure that no one can come at them 315 00:24:17,630 --> 00:24:18,810 and produce some legal loopholes. 316 00:24:18,950 --> 00:24:20,270 So this year, they have a form agreement 317 00:24:20,270 --> 00:24:21,830 that they're asking cities to sign. 318 00:24:22,690 --> 00:24:25,330 Now, the related, which is G, the concern 319 00:24:25,330 --> 00:24:27,990 that that presents to me is the agreement if you've read it. 320 00:24:28,230 --> 00:24:30,370 It requires the city to make several commitments 321 00:24:30,370 --> 00:24:32,150 that it really practically can't make. 322 00:24:32,550 --> 00:24:35,570 For instance, you don't have fire officials of your own 323 00:24:35,570 --> 00:24:36,730 that you can train or mandate. 324 00:24:36,890 --> 00:24:38,550 You don't have any fire equipment of your own. 325 00:24:38,630 --> 00:24:39,750 New FAA does all of that. 326 00:24:40,430 --> 00:24:43,230 And so what first you fire recommended is that we entered into 327 00:24:44,510 --> 00:24:46,810 separate interlocal agreements with our fire district 328 00:24:46,810 --> 00:24:48,510 or in this case they're firing in a local 329 00:24:48,510 --> 00:24:51,330 to assign our responsibilities under the cooperative 330 00:24:51,330 --> 00:24:52,990 wildfire system to you FAA. 331 00:24:53,490 --> 00:24:56,190 So step one would be to approve the template agreement 332 00:24:56,190 --> 00:24:58,250 with the state and that's to take it or leave it agreement. 333 00:24:58,450 --> 00:24:59,510 Believe me, I tried. 334 00:24:59,510 --> 00:25:08,350 I tried to negotiate that, and it's just, it is what it is, and then the second one is an interlocal agreement that they would be approving with UFA. 335 00:25:09,010 --> 00:25:12,830 So the first one just requires a vote on the record that can be even more utilized in the minutes. 336 00:25:13,310 --> 00:25:23,550 The second interlocal agreement with UFA, which there are legal councils reviewed, and this incorporates his edits, because it's an interlocal that requires a resolution under the interlocal cooperation act. 337 00:25:24,050 --> 00:25:27,090 And so that's why there's a resolution for the second one and not for the first one. 338 00:25:27,090 --> 00:25:27,830 So 339 00:25:31,890 --> 00:25:36,170 to take it in turn, the first one would be the agreement before 340 00:25:36,170 --> 00:25:39,130 Street Fire State Land. It's a template agreement. We really don't have a lot of 341 00:25:39,130 --> 00:25:43,990 discretion. Diana, I think that they're all under the same impact if they're 342 00:25:43,990 --> 00:25:47,250 all under IDMG if I'm not mistaken. Yes, they're both connected to that resolution but 343 00:25:47,250 --> 00:25:48,570 they're both very separate documents. 344 00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:55,330 Tell me when you're ready for motions. You're 345 00:25:55,330 --> 00:26:01,030 ready. All right, Mr. Chair. I'm going to move that we approve the agreement with 346 00:26:01,030 --> 00:26:03,710 You tied the illusion of force, refire, and state lands. 347 00:26:04,710 --> 00:26:07,950 That's first one for the cooperative fire system. 348 00:26:08,930 --> 00:26:10,790 And then we'll take that one. 349 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,080 We have motion? 350 00:26:14,420 --> 00:26:14,520 Yep. 351 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:15,100 Well, second. 352 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,040 We have motion in a second. 353 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,300 Any further discussion on the agreement? 354 00:26:19,580 --> 00:26:20,400 All in favor? 355 00:26:20,900 --> 00:26:21,040 Aye. 356 00:26:21,420 --> 00:26:21,580 Aye. 357 00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:22,300 Aye. 358 00:26:22,580 --> 00:26:23,020 Any opposed? 359 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:25,680 The agreement passes. 360 00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:30,080 Now, Mr. Chair, I'll move that we approve the resolution 361 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:44,600 to 2022, which is deals with interlocal agreement with the UFA for Magnus participation in the cooperative welfare system. 362 00:26:45,810 --> 00:26:46,560 All second. 363 00:26:47,060 --> 00:26:47,980 Motion to second. 364 00:26:48,020 --> 00:26:50,720 Any further discussion?
