[0:16] All right.

[0:21] I'd like to welcome everybody to the August 12 meeting. My name is Jack Wilber. I'll be conducting the meeting in absence of our

[0:29] mayor and crevice. We'd like to start with the pledge of allegiance. They put flag

[0:37] here. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic

[0:47] for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for God.

[0:58] The man is going to lead us in our indication.

[1:03] Our fathers have been remarkable for this evening.

[1:06] And we could join together as leaders in the town and residents alike.

[1:11] And we ask you to be with us this evening and make good decisions for our town and our community and our residents.

[1:17] Please help those that have traveled and they can travel and safety.

[1:20] And we say this is how many of you, Jesus Christ, you met me.

[1:22] And we'll

[1:31] open it up with our public comment section if anybody has any public comments

[1:36] I'd like to address the council anything it's not on the agenda

[1:45] No, I was gonna I was gonna get to you

[1:49] Just a couple things

[1:51] So it's not a newsletter this last

[1:54] I just want to hit on a couple things.

[1:58] ULCT has a conference coming up.

[2:00] They are offering scholarships to council members

[2:04] or the mayor or council member to go up to ULCT.

[2:10] You can apply for this scholarship.

[2:11] They pay your way up to a conference.

[2:13] Kind of like we have our regional rules on it.

[2:16] This is a big, manly.

[2:17] You've probably gone to it.

[2:18] I know pretty standard Anderson has gone to it.

[2:20] So if you're interested in attending that conference and your home tells us to be paying for food if one of you want to do that, just get a hold of me for it.

[2:32] There's a link in my newsletter to apply for one of those scholarships. There's two scholarships available for our region.

[2:40] Okay? September 8th, I'm going to create a fly for business and send it out. There is

[2:47] a land training. There haven't been stirring with rock tarot from the End Budsman's office.

[2:55] We invited Mayfield to attend that training. We would want to come to the council or PNZ,

[3:03] so next and out of a flyer on that, I appreciate for doing that.

[3:08] We hold our regional growth summit in May, our big one, because we had so many people want a second training, they're actually looking at hosting a second training, regional growth summit, October 22nd.

[3:23] at snow college, it'll pass kind of the same format as the one in May.

[3:29] I know it's the week of the deer hunt.

[3:33] I get it, I get it, I get it.

[3:36] But so I'll put a 22nd over there for 5 p.m.

[3:41] So it's like the year 7th?

[3:42] The 22nd.

[3:43] And we're going to send out the registration probably next week.

[3:46] But we understand, we understand the time frame.

[3:50] and we do. And there's not enough people to attend, we'll cancel it, or it'll be something, but, um, and that's all I have.

[4:00] Did you have the dates on the Winky office? No, but I thought it was a... That's okay.

[4:05] I know it's an obstacle, but it's probably the week after we're doing that for people.

[4:15] Any other public comments?

[4:21] You might want to go to that land use in Sterling. I went to the one in Richfield a couple years ago.

[4:30] Yeah, Mr. Terry, you can ask him just about anything and he's very knowledgeable.

[4:38] You guys, the Barclay kids, I know.

[4:44] But you're the one that did that, the cabinet's first.

[4:49] Yeah.

[4:50] Well, and then we really appreciate that.

[4:52] They allow people to take their crap and say,

[4:54] you can have no, don't touch that, that stays at home

[4:56] and you can put this here.

[4:59] So you guys have the floor.

[5:01] Okay.

[5:02] Here's the thing.

[5:04] Right.

[5:07] So we're just looking for, it was funny for our,

[5:10] are tiny fair animals this year.

[5:18] We just, what's your problem?

[5:20] Oh, so we all, Asher doesn't,

[5:22] he's here in place of cadence.

[5:24] She had work tonight and she could take it off.

[5:26] But we all show pigs at the fair.

[5:28] We each have two this year.

[5:30] So there's six pigs between all of us.

[5:33] And we're all just wondering if you would like

[5:35] to donate a boost to be added to the sale price of animal

[5:38] at the county fair this year.

[5:42] You've done it in the past?

[5:43] Yeah.

[5:45] I mean, just here to ask again.

[5:49] Man, did you say last year we give $100?

[5:52] We gave them two.

[5:53] There was two requests for it.

[5:55] So we did each $100.

[5:56] Now we have three.

[5:58] Did you have three shell last year?

[6:00] I think we had four shell last year.

[6:01] We each got $200 and then each got $50.

[6:04] Now we're down to three.

[6:06] Okay.

[6:06] So that's what we did last year.

[6:11] Yeah. The sale is only 29 and anybody is welcome to come. Also, it's at 10 a.m. at the fair

[6:18] grounds. It's always good. I enjoy that because where I came from, they could put animals

[6:27] at the county fair. Oh, yeah. So, I enjoy going to see the animals. Yeah. And they also do a

[6:43] Do we want to match them?

[6:46] What we did last year?

[6:47] I don't see you guys.

[6:49] I don't see you people.

[6:50] Okay.

[6:52] Do they always ask?

[6:54] Yeah.

[6:55] You okay with that kiss?

[6:56] Yeah.

[6:57] Do we need to make a motion?

[6:58] Yeah.

[6:59] Okay.

[7:00] Okay.

[7:01] Okay, I make a motion to help them.

[7:08] What do we need to check that?

[7:11] Not till after the 27th, we've kind of changed the structure.

[7:15] How are you doing stuff?

[7:16] I can send you.

[7:17] You can.

[7:17] It says booths can be submitted online.

[7:19] There's a lot of 20 suspects on it.

[7:21] Okay.

[7:22] Do you have something in there that I can get done?

[7:25] Okay.

[7:25] Make a motion.

[7:27] Yeah, make a motion that we support them with $200 towards their fair project.

[7:33] Okay.

[7:33] I second it.

[7:36] You should slide on down.

[7:38] Thank you.

[7:39] Wait.

[7:40] Jack, they didn't tell you the fine print.

[7:44] Oh, yes, fine print.

[7:45] Okay.

[7:46] What do we do?

[7:47] Yeah, we would love for you to maintain those cabinets at the entrance.

[7:52] If you have the time.

[7:54] Perfect.

[7:54] We'll get to it.

[7:55] Okay.

[7:56] We'll work with the ladies.

[7:57] They can tell me when they want something in it.

[7:59] Okay.

[7:59] She stops her fare.

[8:00] I'm going to pop everything.

[8:01] Yeah.

[8:02] Oh, no.

[8:02] You said we'll do it.

[8:03] Oh.

[8:06] And if any of you guys want to come back after the fair and show us your pictures or

[8:13] give us a little presentation that would be great because we're not really

[8:21] scary. We're just people. Yeah, that's the capacity as long as we have. Thank you for having me.

[8:33] Thank you. Thank you so much.

[8:42] Next item, Linda Christensen, you have a

[8:47] I'm like Christian. Christian. Christian.

[8:50] We're already contiguous about that right here.

[8:54] Sorry about that. That's where you guys are.

[9:00] And not that public speaking isn't scary enough.

[9:03] I went and donated blood right before.

[9:05] It's not quite what it looks like.

[9:05] I've got a, so I might pass out.

[9:08] Please don't.

[9:10] I mean, you never know.

[9:13] I don't definitely find friends.

[9:16] Yeah, it's kind of trying to get it all on one page.

[9:19] It's always scary.

[9:22] You probably don't want this.

[9:24] You're going to get this twice in a year.

[9:28] Okay.

[9:30] All right.

[9:43] Thank you for letting me come and talk to you guys today and present.

[9:48] For those of you that don't know me, I am Linda Christiane,

[9:51] and this has become a clerk.

[9:54] And if you're not aware of the clerk's office,

[9:55] had those many responsibilities, we do marriage licenses,

[9:59] passports, business licenses, grab a request, meeting

[10:02] an agenda, clerk for county commission, and planning

[10:05] and zoning and elections, which is my personal favorite.

[10:09] When I came into office almost four years ago,

[10:12] one of the highest priorities for me

[10:14] was to build a stronger, more direct connection

[10:17] with our municipal leaders and more specifically

[10:20] our city recorders.

[10:22] If you are not aware, under Utah law,

[10:24] our city recorders serve as the official election officers for municipal elections.

[10:30] I'm an elections officer for the county and then of course the lieutenant governor is the

[10:35] election officer for the state of Utah. And with that the recorders carry the responsibility

[10:41] of local governance right at the grassroots level. And today I'm just here to discuss our

[10:46] interlocal election agreement. I know some are new, some may or may not know about our interlocal

[10:53] agreement that we have with the city and the county, and so I just want to kind of talk to you about the upcoming municipal election cycle, and then just highlight some of the things that really are essential to running a secure, accurate, and transparent election in Sandy.

[11:10] So what the inter-level agreement is basically is a contract between the city and the county determining the responsibilities of the city and the responsibilities of the county.

[11:22] So if you look at the interlocal agreement that I handed out, the interlocal agreement has

[11:29] not had significant changes made to it for past years, the cost per voter did increase

[11:35] and clarification of responsibilities have been enhanced.

[11:39] So the county commission and the county attorney have reviewed and approved this draft in

[11:45] a county commission meeting and so we just want you guys to have some time to review it and

[11:50] and if you have any suggestions or questions or concerns,

[11:54] we just like to have that feedback in the next couple months.

[11:57] We waited until now because we understand

[12:00] that you guys are on a fiscal year,

[12:02] and so we wanted you to get the budget going where we're done.

[12:06] So that now you can just have in the back of your mind

[12:09] that you'll need to address this your next cycle,

[12:13] because your first election will be in August of 2027.

[12:16] So you'll have time to kind of work this into your budget.

[12:22] So if you go to exhibit B, it's the second page three.

[12:27] So it's like page six or seven.

[12:29] When you look at it, what you'll see is the base election administration fee is $4 per active registered voter for each election.

[12:38] So basically what that means is that when we mail our ballots out,

[12:44] we're going to determine your cost based on that lower number and you have, as of right now,

[12:53] 394 active registered voters in the town of Maple. Primarily, it doesn't look like you generally

[13:03] will have a primary election, but we suggest that you try to budget that and go forward just

[13:11] in case you have a primary so that you're not hit with a surprise when you get

[13:17] that bill for the primary election and just to let everyone understand what that

[13:22] means. A primary election is triggered when Canada finally succeeds twice the

[13:28] number of open seats and historically that B County holds more general elections

[13:34] obviously than a primary and on

[13:42] that summary page you'll notice that it does

[13:48] kind of give you the idea of when the election dates will be. We're not sure when

[13:52] the August election date will be but your general election I think is November

[13:57] 32nd

[14:01] and so with the contract with the agreement it highlights that the

[14:09] the county manages the ballot processing

[14:11] in the high-tech infrastructure,

[14:12] a successful election is impossible

[14:15] without active participation

[14:16] from our city recorders and local officials.

[14:19] And so we're here to support you guys along the way,

[14:23] but if city involvement slips,

[14:25] critical statutory steps,

[14:27] and chain and custody protocols can be compromised.

[14:30] And so we are asking for your support

[14:33] and leadership in four key areas.

[14:36] One of them is poll worker training and involvement

[14:38] We need the city recorders without them. We can't successfully administer an election.

[14:47] And honestly, if other city officials are interested in being a full worker and being involved in training, we welcome that.

[14:54] and then as far as the interlublo agreement.

[15:00] It is the city's responsibility to pick up and deliver ballots during the previous couple of years. And we don't take chain of custody lightly. We don't just let anybody pick up ballots. They do have to be trained individuals and authorize to perform ballot pickup. And so again, your involvement with that's critical. And then where it details what the responsibilities of the city and the county are.

[15:25] It talks about the recorded remain responsible for posting local candidate finally knows about review sample ballots

[15:32] and election notices on the Utah Public Notice website as well as collecting candidate financial

[15:38] disclosures, complex dementia statements, and then we also have a form.
