Uh I'll go ahead [0:12] and open this meeting with a word of [0:14] prayer. [0:18] Father in heaven, as we come to thee at [0:20] this time, we're so very thankful for [0:22] the [0:25] city of PAC and for the atmosphere [0:27] that's here, for the safety that we [0:30] enjoy. We're thankful for the precious [0:33] moisture that we have had and would ask [0:36] thee to please provide us with more [0:38] moisture for our needs through the [0:40] summer. And would ask also, Father, to [0:43] bless us with more moisture during the [0:45] winter months ahead that uh we can [0:48] uh rest somewhat easy as far as our [0:51] water needs are concerned. Please, [0:54] Father, help us as citizens and council [0:56] to be mindful of thee and be mindful of [1:00] the future of our city. [1:03] Help us make good decisions for our [1:05] future. And I say this in the name of [1:06] Jesus Christ. Amen. [1:08] >> Amen. [1:09] >> We'll have Robert Mills lead us in the [1:12] pledge. [1:14] >> Please rise and join me in the pledge of [1:15] allegiance. [1:17] I pledge algiance to the flag of the [1:20] United States of America and to the [1:23] republic for which it stands. One nation [1:26] under God, indivisible, with liberty and [1:30] justice for all. [1:31] >> Thank you, Robert. [1:35] Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we'll go on [1:37] to see the consent agenda. The approval [1:40] of the June 17th, 2026 city council [1:43] minutes. Number two, approving an [1:46] interlocal agreement with Utah County [1:48] for the drug prevention grant and [1:51] program. Number three, resolution uh [1:54] approving a contract with MAG for the [1:57] fiscal year 2027 meals on wheels [2:00] conjugate meal program [2:04] and number four victim services report. [2:07] Council, if there's no uh discussion on [2:09] these items, I'm ready for a motion. [2:11] >> Have one quick question. mayor maybe. [2:14] And this has nothing to do with [2:15] approving anything, but [2:17] >> for the meals on wheels, who qualifies [2:19] that and how do they how does that work? [2:21] I I have no idea. So, [2:24] >> I I can answer some of that if you'd [2:25] like. They have to be homebound pretty [2:27] much. It doesn't matter what age they [2:30] are, but they have to be homebound and [2:32] can't can't get out to to take care of [2:34] themselves and and then have the ability [2:37] to function within the home. Uh but uh [2:41] they they're not they're homebound [2:43] pretty much. [2:43] >> So who finds them? [2:47] >> Uh family members can call in and uh and [2:49] reference them. Uh I have found some and [2:52] referenced them as well. Um and they [2:55] have uh they not only depend on our [2:57] funding, but they're they're uh going it [2:59] sounds like they'll be part of the [3:01] giving tree this year. And then they [3:03] were able to establish a nonprofit to be [3:05] able to accept some of that funding as [3:07] well. They they currently have uh over [3:10] 200 people that are on a waiting list [3:13] that cannot get in there because they [3:14] don't have the funding. And so the the [3:16] giving tree is going going to help uh [3:19] fund much of that. [3:20] >> So we have people in PAC that can't get [3:23] it even though we're contributing. [3:24] There's not enough money to do. [3:26] >> Yeah. It's not just a PAC problem. It's [3:29] countywide and Okay. [3:30] >> And but they they and during CO there [3:33] was much more of a need than there is [3:36] now. and it was funded with with CO [3:38] money, but that money is no longer there [3:40] and so it's a it's a struggle to get it [3:42] back to the level they need. [3:44] >> Thank you, Mayor. [3:46] >> Anything to add, Robert and Dave? [3:48] >> Oh, I I would just add that I I think [3:51] that there's also a constant need for [3:52] volunteers to help deliver those meals. [3:55] Um, so if you have any interest, contact [3:57] MAG. And just so where I go out at least [4:00] once a year with them and visit with [4:02] there's about eight to 10 people here in [4:04] PAC that are benefiting from that. Okay. [4:08] Any other questions, comments? [4:11] >> Okay, I'm ready for a motion. [4:13] >> Mayor, I motion that we approve the [4:15] consent agenda. [4:17] >> A second. [4:18] >> Okay, we have a motion been seconded. [4:20] Requires a roll call vote starting with [4:24] council uh Smith. [4:27] >> Yes. Council Hullet. [4:29] >> Yes. [4:29] >> Council Rolley. [4:32] >> Roelly. Yes. [4:33] >> And didn't I say Rolley? And then I'll [4:35] find I thought just when I said that [4:37] Ann, are you there? [4:38] >> Yes, I am. [4:40] >> Okay. Your vote. [4:41] >> Yes. [4:42] >> Thank you. Motion carries. [4:45] Okay. Going to D petitions of the month.

[5:12] We got a picture up. Okay. if uh we [5:16] could have Brady Theobal and his wife [5:19] come on up. [5:21] Just so that just by way of explanation, [5:24] the beautifification committee is very [5:26] active. Bob is chairing that committee [5:29] and we really want to one step at a time [5:32] beautify our city and you've been that [5:36] uh lucky uh home this time and it's very [5:40] welld deserved. So, thank you very very [5:43] much. And uh along with this is a a gift [5:49] card for Molson's Garden Shop for $100. [5:52] And uh we appreciate the effort that [5:55] you've obviously went to with your home [5:57] and uh making us proud of not only your [6:00] home but our community. Would you like [6:02] to say anything? [6:04] Brady, come on back. Make your wife do [6:06] it. Tell us a little bit about your [6:08] house. [6:09] >> No, this is actually kind of fun. We [6:11] spent a lot of time together and kind of [6:14] dreaming this up and with our kids and [6:16] future grandkids. So, uh, if anything, [6:20] yards do kind of group you together as, [6:23] uh, marriage and it's been awesome. [6:26] >> Good. Congratulations. [7:09] Okay, we do one each each month. And [7:13] this this one's entitled most improve [7:15] improved yard of the month. It does not [7:17] mean it was a bad yard, [laughter] [7:20] but it uh is a very very nice yard. And [7:23] again, it's part of our effort as the [7:25] beautifification committee to reward [7:27] people that are taking an interest in [7:29] their homes and uh being proud of them [7:32] and being proud of part part of Pacin [7:34] City. You can see that home is very very [7:37] nice and uh I've rolled by it a number [7:40] of times. So with Tyson and Brienne [7:42] Sparrow, come on up. [7:53] As I said before, I appreciate you being [7:55] here. [7:56] >> Congratulations. [7:59] >> Stay here. [8:03] » Why don't you come up and tell us a [8:04] little bit about your home? [8:07] [laughter] [8:10] Um we moved into that area um two years [8:13] ago and there was a little bit of grass [8:15] when we moved in and then the uh planter [8:18] boxes but the rest was weeds. So [8:20] >> that's why it's the most improved house. [8:23] [laughter] [8:24] >> And then uh I have the same sentiment [8:26] that um Brady talked about. We have [8:28] grandkids, two grandkids, and we do all [8:31] those projects together as a family and [8:33] it's it's wonderful. [8:35] >> Teresa, raise your hand and show [8:37] everybody. Teresa Carter's part of this [8:39] beautifification committee. Should have [8:40] had her come up. So, [8:42] >> no. [8:43] >> Okay, great. Let's have a picture. [8:45] >> Now's the time. [9:09] Thank you. [9:13] » Thank you. [9:24] Lacy, could you grab me my glasses I [9:27] laid on that [9:28] >> on that podium? [9:29] >> I'm lost without them. [9:32] >> They're just readers. [9:39] » Okay, we'll go ahead and uh go to number [9:43] two, public form. Anyone can speak to us [9:45] on a subject that's not on the the [9:47] agenda. And if you'd like to do that, [9:50] please come up to the the mic and let us [9:53] know who you are. [9:55] Let us know your concerns. [10:00] Not seeing anyone in the congregation to [10:03] come up. Is there anybody online or are [10:06] Okay. Sorry, I'm a little bit quick on [10:09] the update. Come on up. [10:10] >> You betcha. [10:15] You're good. [10:17] just let us uh give us your name and [10:19] we'll be happy. [10:22] >> My name is Marilyn Mikum and I live in [10:25] Rosewood Estates which is across the [10:28] street from the hospital. We're very [10:30] concerned. We live in a 55 plus [10:32] community and uh we would like to [10:36] respectfully request that our city [10:38] streets get some attention. They look [10:41] terrible. [10:42] >> Okay. Uh I myself went out and dug some [10:45] weeds not too long ago. [10:48] It was horrible. [10:50] The streets cracked and we have weeds [10:53] that are some of them 12 in high growing [10:55] in the cracks. [10:57] We would like to have a crack sealed in [10:59] at the best. [11:01] Another issue is the heavy truck traffic [11:03] that is related to the current [11:05] construction at the property owned by [11:07] Scott Phillips. There are three good [11:11] access paved roads into his property, [11:14] but they are blocked off to public [11:16] traffic. There's one paved street that [11:20] gives closer access to his property, but [11:22] is piled with rock with another further [11:25] north with both entrances accessed off [11:28] at 10,00 East. A third one is on 330 [11:32] North off 1140 east. We wonder what [11:36] gives him the right to block off the [11:39] public streets that are marked, road [11:41] work closed. That has been there for a [11:44] long time. [11:46] However, he uses our street to bring his [11:48] double trailer trucks, big trucks, [11:51] cement trucks, uh, belly dumps. This [11:55] morning, I seen a big long trailer with [11:58] heavy cement things of some kind, maybe [12:02] for a maybe for more closures. Uh [12:06] anyway, he he has built a [12:11] um [12:13] gravel road cleared clear north at the [12:17] end of our condos that the trucks are [12:19] able to go in there and uh anyway, we [12:23] we'd really appreciate your [12:24] consideration of these two issues. [12:27] >> You bet. Well, you're you're on record [12:29] now. [12:29] >> Okay. [12:30] >> You're on record now. We'll we'll follow [12:32] that up. [12:32] >> Thank you so much. [12:42] Okay. Anyone else uh wanting to address [12:46] us? [12:48] Come on up, April. [12:51] You just barely made it, didn't you? [12:53] [laughter] [12:54] >> Just finished teaching dance. [12:57] >> Okay. I'm April Jones. [13:00] Did I need anything else? I missed that [13:02] whole announcement part. Um, PAC [13:04] resident and I am a member of the PAC [13:07] Scottish Festival Committee. So, I am [13:09] here tonight to invite each of you to [13:11] this year's Scottish Festival. It will [13:14] be happening next Friday, Saturday.

We [13:26] have our pipe solo competitions and our [13:29] drum solo competitions happening in the [13:31] evening. And then we will have a special [13:35] pipe evening. It's just solo pipers, but we'll be [13:41] doing it in the corner. It's kind of a [13:43] fun thing to attend if you enjoy just [13:44] some folk pipe music. And that will be [13:48] as soon as the pipe band competitions, [13:50] the solo competitions are over over. And [13:52] that's on Friday evening.

Your [14:16] name will be there and they'll just get [14:18] you the size that you would like for [14:20] that. And then um once again, you want [14:24] to get down to the new era building. We [14:26] do have a few kilts. If you really want [14:28] to be traditional and wear a kilt, [14:31] you're welcome to. We check those out at [14:33] the information booth. If you [14:34] >> guys wear a kilt every year [14:36] >> with cowboy boots. [14:38] >> If you want to wear a kilt with cowboy [14:40] boots, we encourage other people to, but [14:43] it actually might infringe on the [14:44] mayor's reputation. He's we we are known [14:49] for that in the Scottish world. And so, [14:52] um, the parade will begin at the new era [14:53] building and [14:56] gracious, you need to be there before [14:59] 9:30.

[15:15] We'll have our official opening [15:17] ceremonies over at Park View. We would [15:19] love you to come and be dignitaries. [15:21] We'll just introduce you. You really [15:22] don't have to say anything and then you [15:24] can watch the festivities. You can [15:26] attend any of the events. We will have [15:27] dancing in Park View.

[15:58] >> You're so welcome. [16:00] >> Scottish Festival. [16:02] >> Any questions? [16:04] >> Anything you want to know about? [16:05] >> We're just glad that that you're here [16:07] and that we've been able to link up with [16:09] the Scottish festival itself for years. [16:11] It was just a standalone Scottish [16:13] festival. Now we've joined the hands so [16:15] to speak and it's a official patient [16:18] city activity. So thank you. [16:19] >> We are so grateful for the partnership [16:21] that we have with you. So thank you. [16:23] >> Thanks April. [16:24] >> Okay. Thank you. [16:32] » Okay. [16:34] Doesn't look like anyone else is is [16:36] coming up at this time. Is there anybody [16:38] online? Emily. [16:40] Okay. We'll go ahead and close the [16:42] public forum and we'll move on to staff [16:44] reports. Any of the staff like to [16:47] address us. [16:50] Thank you, Chief. [16:56] I just want to let you know we're having [16:57] National Night Out on August 4th and [16:59] then we're going to change it to [17:00] Memorial Park this year so we have some [17:02] shade and a little more room to to [17:04] stretch out there. So, we'd love to have [17:05] you come if you're able to make it. [17:08] >> What time? [17:09] >> From 6:00 till 8. What time? [17:11] >> 6 Del [17:14] free hot dogs, Ryan. [17:19] » Free donated hot dogs. Even [laughter] [17:28] another chief. [17:34] Travis is jealous because he's not as [17:36] fast as us, I guess. [17:40] Mayor and council is good to be here [17:41] with you today. Um just let you know a [17:44] couple things. Um we've had firefighters [17:46] out on the the fire out in Eureka um [17:50] last weekend um for three or four days [17:52] helping out on those fires and structure [17:54] protection. Um so it's been interesting [17:57] to help out there and as you know as the [18:00] new incident command comes in and type [18:02] three teams it takes a while to get new [18:04] resources in and so we help till they [18:06] get there. Um it's been a crazy year [18:10] with all the dryness and lack of [18:13] moisture, but it was um good to see the [18:16] moisture we got because you saw what it [18:17] did to those fires. Just having the [18:19] cooler temperatures and the little bit [18:20] of rain that we got, it makes a big [18:22] difference. So, we've got our fireworks [18:25] coming up this weekend, um the 2nd [18:27] through the 5th. So, we'll have um [18:30] people out through the city patrolling [18:32] and making sure that people are doing [18:34] the correct um fireworks um because [18:38] there's always people that love to go [18:39] buy them in uh Wyoming and they're not a [18:41] safe and sane fireworks. So, those types [18:44] do come down with hot embers where the [18:46] fireworks we buy um locally are safe and [18:49] sane. So, um they don't come down with [18:51] hot embers. That makes a huge [18:52] difference. So, we'll have people out [18:54] patrolling for that, looking um in those [18:56] areas, especially the restricted areas [18:59] um and helping enforce that. So, [19:01] hopefully we have a quiet weekend with [19:04] not a lot of issues or problems. Um we [19:07] we've been out working trying to get a [19:09] lot of the lots uh through the city um [19:12] cleaned up with weeds. Um unfortunately [19:15] we had an incident with one today um [19:18] where we've asked them to get it done [19:20] and they wanted a couple more weeks and [19:21] we told them they'll get it done today [19:23] or tomorrow and uh they were completely [19:26] done putting um trash and stuff in their [19:29] bags and turn around their lawnmower was [19:30] on fire. Started the lot on fire. [19:34] Didn't go very far but um anyway um so [19:37] we've been out trying to get that. So, [19:39] Fire Marshall Kilmer's been talking to a [19:41] lot of people and trying to get weeds [19:42] and stuff cleaned up and mowed to help [19:44] out with the situation. So, thank you [19:47] for all your support. [19:50] >> Could I just tag on to you a little bit? [19:51] Uh, Chief, uh, you know, we been been [19:54] able to coordinate with the mayor [19:56] Jenkins of Eureka and also been able to [20:00] coordinate with his name's Ben trying to [20:03] see it here on my phone, Ben Donner. [20:06] He's the uh the executive director for [20:09] the Red Cross and for this area in [20:13] southern Utah. So we we've been in act [20:16] active trying to make sure that whatever [20:18] they need we we get to them. [20:21] >> Yeah. And it's sad to see all that [20:22] acreage burn. That's a lot of acres. [20:25] >> Yeah. [20:25] >> So take a lot of years for it to come [20:27] back. So Okay. Thanks. [20:38] » Any other staff? [20:41] Okay, we'll move on to uh council [20:43] reports starting with council. [20:46] Oh, let me let me before I forget, let's [20:48] start with Ann because she's on she's on [20:50] the I'll forget her. Ann, would you like [20:52] to [20:53] >> Yeah, I can start. Um, first I'd like to [20:56] thank all the firefighters that have [20:58] been out helping and um we're so [21:01] grateful for them and all that they do [21:02] and and all the knowledge and and [21:05] abilities they bring to the table and [21:07] keeping everyone and property safe. Um, [21:10] I'd also like to thank uh [21:14] Chief Bishop for meeting with me last [21:16] week. Um, he gave me a tour of the [21:18] police station and told me what was [21:21] working, what what wasn't, what their [21:23] needs were, and I'd like to have a [21:26] discussion on what we can do to get that [21:30] ball rolling. Um, [21:33] and [21:35] can't believe the Scottish festival is [21:37] coming up already. That was I feel like [21:38] we were just in the parade yesterday. [21:41] So, I'm so excited for it. It's one of [21:43] my favorite things. And thanks to all [21:45] the staff and that's all I've got. [21:47] Thanks. [21:48] >> Thank you. And Council Broly. [21:51] >> Yes. Thank you, Mayor. Yeah, Chief. [21:52] Thanks for your support and for sending [21:54] some brush trucks and guys to help with [21:55] the Eureka fire. Uh that was that was [21:58] one of the last areas around us that had [21:59] actual trees on mountains. So, it is [22:01] heartbreaking to see that burnt by [22:02] Cherry Creek and by Eureka. Grateful [22:04] that our neighbors didn't lose any [22:06] structures that they had a good [22:07] evacuation and then the wildland [22:09] firefighters, all the fire department [22:10] was able to fight off that fire. So, [22:12] thank you. And obviously as Pac City, we [22:15] stand with all of those affected by the loss of those wildland firefighters [22:18] here in the state of Utah that were [22:20] fighting the fire on the Colorado Utah [22:22] border. That was a hard day to lose [22:23] three firefighters in one day. So our [22:25] hearts and thoughts and prayers go out [22:27] to those family and to that crew. Um I [22:30] am so thankful for the planning [22:32] commission and for Jill and Anders and for all the help that they do with [22:35] the developmental services. I am [22:38] grateful for all the the residents that [22:40] take time to come out and voice concerns [22:42] as well. Well, and I'm just I'm really [22:43] proud of the planning commission in the [22:45] last few meetings on how they've they've [22:46] handled uh things and how they've uh uh [22:49] they've answered questions and tried to [22:51] adjust their decisions according to [22:53] their residents and I'm thankful for [22:55] them. [22:57] I uh I'm so grateful for this this time [23:00] of year. I was uh I was doing some [23:04] reading [23:05] and I I'd never I'd never found this out [23:08] in regards to the the Declaration of [23:09] Independence. In the original draft of [23:13] the Declaration of Independence that [23:14] Thomas Jefferson drafted, he used some [23:17] words that uh that I'd never read before [23:19] because he didn't end up using them and [23:20] got changed. [23:22] But uh he said when in the course of [23:24] human events it becomes necessary for a [23:26] people to advance from that [23:28] subordination in which they have [23:30] hitherto remained and to assume among [23:32] the powers of earth the equal and ind [23:34] independent station to which the laws of [23:36] nature and nature's god entitle them. A [23:39] decent respect to the opinions of [23:41] mankind requires that all should declare [23:44] the causes which impel them to change. [23:46] And these are the words he he changed in [23:48] the declaration. But the original draft [23:49] says this. We hold these truths to be [23:53] sacred and undeniable. [23:56] Obviously, he changes them to we hold [23:58] these truths to be self-evident. But [24:00] that idea that we hold these truths to [24:02] be sacred and undeniable. I love the [24:05] United States of America. I truly [24:07] believe it is the best country upon the [24:09] whole entire earth and that we must [24:12] stand as a beacon of hope and truth and [24:14] democracy for the whole world to see. [24:16] And that takes all of us playing that [24:18] little small part. and in the words of [24:20] Thomas Jefferson that we hold these [24:21] truths to be sacred and undeniable. I [24:24] hope that we don't let this this country [24:26] or its founding or the blood that was [24:28] spilled to get us here become common [24:30] place. I hope we hold them sacred. I [24:33] hope we hold our our oath sacred that we [24:35] each took uh when we were elected and [24:37] all of us uh that we do to hold up the Constitution. [24:42] And I find it so interesting that 50 [24:44] years after the signing of the [24:46] Declaration of Independence, both John [24:49] Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the [24:51] same day, July 4th. [24:54] And uh those those two men were uh were [24:57] friends and and rivals and they both [25:00] died at the age of they both died on [25:03] July 4th, 1826, 50 years after signing [25:07] the Declaration of Independence, dying [25:09] on the same day. So, I think that's a [25:10] pretty pretty interesting coincidence. [25:13] But, uh, this this country is going to [25:15] take all of us to continue to move on [25:17] another 250 years. And I know we're up [25:19] to the task. Uh, President Ronald Reagan [25:22] said that if someone's agreeing with me [25:24] about 60 or 70% of the time, I'd call [25:26] them a friend. And if someone agrees [25:28] with me 100% of the time, they're not a [25:30] friend. They're just a yes man. And so [25:32] I'm grateful that we can sit up here and [25:34] have disagreements and know that we [25:36] agree 60 70% of the time, but we don't [25:39] always agree. And that's a good thing. [25:40] We're here representing uh different [25:42] ways of life, different upbringings, and [25:45] different uh and different points of [25:47] view. So that's why we're all here as [25:48] elected officials. And this this form of [25:50] government does work. It's the best one [25:52] out there. And I'm grateful and proud to [25:54] be part of it. And uh happy Independence [25:58] Day to everyone this weekend. Thank you. [26:01] Ryan. Council Hulet. [26:02] >> Yeah, I just got a couple quick things [26:04] here. Um, uh, this Friday night at [26:06] downtown from 6:00 to 8:00, there's [26:09] event downtown. And then also everybody, [26:12] I just hope you have a great Fourth of [26:14] July. [clears throat] Be safe. [26:17] >> Lacy, [26:19] >> um, I'm gonna say ditto to everything [26:22] Ryan said. I'm super excited every year [26:24] for America's birthday, but just a [26:27] little bit extra special. And I even got [26:30] the the special plates, which if anyone [26:33] hasn't seen them, they're pretty sharp [26:35] and they don't cost any extra. They're [26:37] not like a special plate, but they're [26:39] only good. You can only get them for one [26:40] year, the license plates on your car. [26:43] They look really good. So, and it [26:45] celebrates America's 250th. But, um, I [26:49] also want to say thanks to all the [26:51] firefighters and first responders, [26:53] everyone that was involved in the all of [26:55] the fires that are going on in our [26:57] state. Um, my niece was evacuated twice [26:59] in Eureka. her her shed was scorched a [27:03] little and so it it was a little close [27:05] to home and um I too live in obviously a [27:10] high area and so this finally scared me [27:13] enough that I went on and bought um fire [27:17] boxes for every single one of my kids to [27:19] put their special memorable things in [27:21] and they're just ready to go just in [27:23] case they're in a spot that if we that [27:25] were to happen you just there's certain [27:27] things that are not um replaceable. So [27:30] if anyone else that might spark [27:33] something. But the last thing I have is [27:36] I know we've talked about engaging [27:40] residents and ed like giving more [27:43] information on things. Um so I'd really [27:47] like to see where we are on stuff like [27:49] that. My other thing is our local [27:52] neighbors are kicking our trash on [27:55] engagement on social media and I think [27:58] it is helping their city a lot. Um I [28:02] know that Santa Quinn's huge on it right [28:04] now. Salem, Spanish Fork, they're just [28:07] engaging online where people are. And I [28:10] think it would be great if we can all [28:12] kind of come together and maybe think of [28:14] ideas to [28:16] that could be our easy way to get things [28:18] out there. I watch their videos all the [28:21] time. Um anyway, it's just something [28:24] that I mean that's how people [28:27] find out a lot of information. They like [28:29] quick snippets. Um, anyone that is on [28:34] Facebook around here and part of a group [28:36] that's not affiliated with the city, but [28:39] it has the name in it knows that there's [28:41] a lot of negiveness in that group a lot. [28:45] And I put a small little post out the [28:48] other day just explaining [28:50] the annexation process so that people [28:53] understood it. I don't think I've ever [28:55] seen this in the history of this group. [28:57] There wasn't one mean comment. There [28:59] wasn't one dislike on the post. There [29:01] was 118 loves or likes. Every comment [29:05] was positive. So, I think people are [29:08] looking for that. So, just I mean I'm [29:11] happy to help. I really am. But [29:13] obviously I'm not the I can't just throw [29:16] whatever out. But I'm I don't even like [29:19] to be in front of a camera, but I'm [29:20] happy to do what I need to do to like [29:22] really get out there. And I'm looking [29:25] right at you, Robert, but it's everyone. [29:28] Like I just I hope that we can come [29:30] together and think of something. So [29:31] >> did I'm trying to remember did we did we [29:33] budget for a a public relations like a [29:36] part-time position or you still wearing [29:37] those hats, Robert? [29:38] >> We we did budget for that position but [29:40] like all of them uh that is a mid-year [29:44] position. So if if we have direction to [29:47] do something different then we can we [29:49] can have that discussion. But that was very important that that be a [29:54] mid-year position. But in the meantime, [29:57] uh I don't know if you've been noticing, [29:59] but we have been posting more uh we we [30:02] have the same thoughts that um being [30:05] able to connect with our community is [30:07] really really important and meet them [30:09] where they are. Uh one of the ways that we've been working on that, Melanie [30:13] and I have been meeting Mondays and [30:15] Thursdays to make sure that something [30:16] goes out so we can be con more [30:18] consistent in that. um to help us with [30:22] that. We would just encourage you to [30:24] make sure that you're posting on your [30:25] own pages as well. Um which you have [30:28] been doing and and we we would seriously [30:31] encourage that. Uh and then you can [30:34] always tag Pacin City as well. [30:36] >> Thanks for doing that. [30:38] >> I just know videos too are just [30:40] >> I know that it takes more effort [30:42] >> but people these days their attention [30:44] span just they want that 30 second thing [30:47] versus reading. You heard it. You heard [30:50] it here first. Just say yes when we ask [30:51] you. [30:52] >> Okay. [30:54] >> We're trying to build up the attention [30:56] spans by making them read. Okay. [30:58] [laughter] [30:59] >> Thank you. [clears throat] [31:01] >> I'll say Okay. I'll say one last thing [31:04] about the fires. We have some and I I [31:06] just want to these these companies are [31:08] not looking for any notoriety, but we do [31:11] have some companies that have stepped up [31:14] and have helped the Eureka community [31:17] substantially. and the and the [31:19] firefighters. I just want to make sure [31:20] that everybody knows that we have a good [31:22] business community and they're very [31:23] aware of what's going on around. So, [31:26] thanks to those businesses. [31:29] Okay, [31:31] moving on to E action items. Number one, [31:35] a resolution approving to approving a [31:37] reimbursement agreement for the [31:39] construction of upsized public water and [31:41] pressurize irrigation improvements [31:43] between PAC city and Patterson Homes [31:45] LLC. Brandon and Travis, you going to [31:48] educate us? [31:52] >> Mayor, council, so this was uh up there [31:54] at the south end where Patterson just [31:56] did that latest phase kind of where 1900 [31:59] South will meet Ma where Main Street [32:01] meet. So we have in our master plans a [32:05] potential site to put a new water tank [32:08] and a PI pond up above the canal right [32:10] there. So I had them upsize the line. So [32:12] this is to reimburse them for that [32:14] upsizing that we're required to by state [32:16] law. So there that project's already in [32:19] our impact fees that just went into [32:21] effect today. So this is just to [32:23] formalize the agreement so we can [32:25] reimburse them. So [32:26] >> Travis, thanks for being forward [32:27] thinking on this and putting [32:29] >> bigger things than than what we [32:31] originally planned. Thank you. [32:32] >> That's that's great. [32:33] >> Good use of the impact fees. [32:36] >> So I got a quick question for you. So it [32:38] comes from impact fees. Are there fees [32:41] that are already collected or are there [32:42] going to be future ones? Because it says [32:44] we only pay them back through impact [32:45] fees. So, when do they get paid back? I [32:48] guess [32:48] >> they'll get paid back in October. So, [32:51] uh Dave and I have met with our [32:53] consultant that we had do our impact [32:54] fees. And how we want to proceed going [32:57] forward is [32:59] in the past, we've we've saved impact [33:01] fees and we just spend what we need to. [33:02] But Spanish Fork, they spend every year [33:06] everything they collect. So, you never [33:07] have to worry about the six-year window. [33:10] and you prioritize how you spend those [33:12] impact fees based on the priority of the [33:14] project. So based on how much the [33:16] project costs, [33:18] you know, if it's a city project, [33:19] different things, but you you put it in [33:21] this spreadsheet and it ranks it for you [33:23] based on how much money you brought in. [33:25] So that's kind of how we want to go [33:26] forward. But yeah, for the these [33:28] projects, obviously it's money we [33:30] already have. But in the future, yeah, [33:32] like if we only say brought in $100,000, [33:35] but you had $400,000 worth of impact fee [33:37] cost, then you'd only still spend the [33:40] $100,000 and it may take however many [33:42] years to reimburse those people that are [33:44] eligible. But that's kind of how we plan [33:46] on going forward. So, [33:47] >> thank you. [33:49] >> Okay, any questions, discussions, any [33:52] further? Okay. If if uh [33:57] there aren't any, I'm ready for a [34:00] motion. [34:01] >> Mayor, I motion that we approve the [34:02] reimbursement agreement for the [34:04] construction of upsized public water and [34:05] pressurized irrigation improvements [34:07] between Pacin City and Patterson Homes [34:09] LLC. [34:10] >> I'll second. [34:11] >> Okay, we have a motion been seconded. [34:13] Roll call vote starting right. Well, [34:15] starting with Ann Moss. [34:17] >> Yes. [34:18] >> Uh Council Roelly, [34:19] >> yes. Councel Helet. [34:21] >> Yes. [34:22] >> And Council Smith, [34:23] >> yes. [34:24] >> Okay. Wonderful. That motion carries [34:27] unanimously. Number two, resolution [34:29] approving the fifth amendment to lease [34:34] to the lease agreement between PA City [34:36] Municipal Corporation and JKLM [34:39] Investment LC. Dave, [34:42] >> mayor, council, we [clears throat] we've [34:44] had a an agreement on the gravel pit for [34:47] many years, and that's JKLM. It's it's [34:50] Kenny Sain, but that was their LLC for [34:53] all these years. They have you, you've [34:55] probably all heard, they have um they [34:58] have sold and merged in with granite, [35:02] but Kenny Sank Construction [35:05] is is the one that's still going to be [35:08] handling the the gravel pit. uh under [35:10] our contract it said it said that that [35:14] they could um they could assign that [35:17] without coming back to council but it [35:19] didn't have it it said Kenny [35:22] Construction but there was Kenny [35:24] Construction Incorporated Kenny [35:25] Construction LLC [35:28] and in talking with Brandon we thought [35:29] it'd be best just to have the council [35:31] approved that it's it's it's it's [35:33] something that we need to approve it's [35:35] uh it's something that they have a right [35:37] to do and and uh we're still working [35:41] with them same under the same contract [35:42] and this Kenny Sain construction LLC [35:45] would would be responsible for all the [35:48] contents of that agreement as well. They [35:50] would assume all those uh [35:52] responsibilities of that agreement. So [35:54] that's what we brought forward to you to have this uh [36:00] fifth amendment to the lease agreement [36:02] >> and it's been a it's been a real good uh situation for us and for them both. [36:06] So it's beneficial. [36:08] >> [snorts] [36:08] >> So Dave, the the assumption of this [36:11] agreement to this new company did not [36:13] change any of the terms of the [36:15] agreement. [36:15] >> No. [36:16] >> Okay. [36:16] >> Terms are the same and they they are [36:18] responsible and Brandon was really good [36:20] in in acknowledging that success or [36:23] liability. They take on all the [36:24] liability that the agreement has. [36:26] >> Okay. Very good. [36:28] >> Those circumstances I I think would be a [36:30] great thing to go ahead and ratify. [36:33] >> So Dave, I got a quick question for you. [36:35] just um sometime in the in the future if [36:38] you could have somebody just look and [36:39] see how much we're um we're still in the [36:42] contract for playing for the way station [36:44] and the ball fields and see how much he [36:46] has left um until he starts actually [36:49] paying us. [36:50] >> Yeah, we get we get a we get a uh update [36:53] every month. So, we can I can send that [36:54] out to you. [36:55] >> Okay, that'd be great. [36:56] >> Thank you. [36:56] >> I think we got one just recently and [36:58] I'll I can forward that to everybody. [37:00] >> Okay, thank you. [37:02] So they just they were the JKL and they [37:06] just merged kind of together because [37:08] someone else bought the his other stuff [37:11] is can that just even I read this and I [37:14] was like okay but then now that kind of [37:15] confused me a little [37:16] >> but there's a sales agreement um [37:18] >> okay [37:19] >> but the to Granite Construction who's [37:22] pretty large construction company [37:24] >> so Granite owns Kenny Singh yes now [37:26] >> yes [37:27] >> and so is the agreement I guess [37:29] technically since they own Kenny Sing [37:31] it's with Granite [37:33] Kenny Singh and Pac is that [37:35] >> the [clears throat] agreement for this [37:37] uh Granite's a much larger company but [37:40] for this this gravel pit agreement uh [37:44] they have Kenny Sang Construction LC [37:47] that's still going to run this [37:48] >> it's going to be a subsidiary of of [37:50] granite [37:50] >> of granite [37:52] >> okay [37:52] >> so the assignment goes to Kenny Sang [37:55] Construction LC [37:57] >> so where it says it's without further [37:58] approvals do they have to come They [38:00] don't have to come to us to change it to [38:02] anyone going forward or only just to the [38:05] Kenny Sing construction [38:07] >> for this. They wouldn't if they if they [38:08] have another they would come back and [38:10] when the when the contract comes up for [38:12] renewal that would of course have to [38:14] come back to the council if we renew [38:15] that with them. [38:16] >> Okay. [38:19] Any other discussion, questions? [38:24] Okay. I'm ready for a motion. If that's [38:26] the case, [38:29] >> I'll make a motion that we approve the [38:31] fifth amendment to the lease agreement [38:32] between PAC city municipality [38:34] corporation and JKLM and Investment LLC. [38:39] >> I'll second. Okay, we have a motion been [38:42] seconded. [38:43] Roll call v starting with council Smith. [38:47] >> Yes. [38:48] >> Council, [38:48] >> yes. [38:49] >> Council Rolley, [38:50] >> yes. [38:50] >> Council Moss, [38:51] >> yes. [38:52] >> Didn't forget you. Good. Thank you. [38:54] Okay, moving on to number three. [38:57] Resolution approving an agreement [38:58] authorizing the operation of a nurse in [39:01] care facility within PAC city pursuant [39:04] to the Utah State code 10-8-90. [39:08] Okay, Brandon, [39:10] >> buckle up. This one's hard to follow. [39:13] When I first was approached by it, it [39:15] took me many, many times to read through [39:17] the code and understand what's going on. [39:21] So, [39:23] uh, background, Rocky Mountain Care has [39:25] operated the Maple Skilled Nursing [39:28] Facility in PAC for many years. [39:30] Historically, the stateisssued [39:32] healthcare facility license for Maple [39:35] was held by an entity called Canyons [39:37] Canyon Healthcare, a special service [39:40] district. But effective today, Canyon [39:42] will no longer serve as the licensed [39:44] operator. So, the new licensed operator [39:47] will be Beaver Valley Hospital, a [39:49] municipal hospital owned by Beaver City. [39:52] So, Rocky Mountain Care will continue to [39:54] manage and operate the facility on a [39:56] day-to-day basis here in PAC. However, [39:59] this is all about uh access to uh upper [40:03] pay upper tier limit Medicare Medicaid [40:08] dollars. So, um, in order for the, [40:14] uh, Rocky Mountain Care to qualify for [40:17] that, they have to have a contract with [40:18] the city. So, uh, each city can have the [40:22] one license to for a skilled nursing [40:25] facility to have access to those [40:26] dollars. Where PAC city doesn't have, [40:29] uh, a city-owned municipal hospital, [40:32] they're asking for that that license to [40:34] have access to th to those dollars. So, [40:37] under state code 10-8-90, [40:42] um, a municipal hospital that owns and [40:44] operates a nursing care facility and [40:46] uses an intergovern intergovernmental [40:49] transfer under the Medicaid UPL, the [40:52] upper payment limit program, may not [40:54] operate a nursing care facility in [40:55] another city without entering an [40:58] agreement with that city. So, the [41:00] requirement applies here in PAC. Because [41:02] Beaver Valley Hospital is a municipal [41:04] hospital, it will hold the state license [41:06] for Maple. It participates in the UPL [41:10] IGT Medicaid financing program and the [41:12] facilities located within Pacin City. Um [41:18] by [41:19] in this agreement [41:21] um we made it so that the city has no [41:25] liability, isn't responsible for [41:27] anything, and we can terminate at any [41:29] time. So anytime in the future if PAC [41:31] does um get does create a municipal [41:35] hospital and wants to participate in [41:37] skilled nursing, we can terminate that [41:39] agreement at any time and uh use that [41:43] our own license. [41:44] >> So we can only have one of these [41:45] licenses out total for the whole city. [41:48] >> For the whole city. Yeah. [41:48] >> And um sorry our contract does it have [41:51] an escape clause or [41:52] >> it does terminate for any reason at any [41:54] time. [41:55] >> Okay. on both ends [41:58] >> for both both parties or just our [42:00] parties. [42:00] >> PAC can at any time they can with yeah [42:03] with with some notice [42:05] >> and so um the [42:09] there's no fiscal impact to PAC because [42:11] we don't have to provide any funding [42:13] staffing or resources. [42:15] Uh but it allows uh Maple to [42:19] >> to access all those [42:20] >> access those higher tier dollars for [42:22] staffing for medical um treatment for um [42:27] new new technology. [42:30] Um I called uh Kevin Johnson the [42:33] hospital Mountain View and just to talk [42:37] to him about it. He's the one that kind [42:38] of oriented me with everything. and uh [42:40] they they not they're not interested in [42:42] it because for them skilled nursing is a [42:45] losing proposition. Um they don't make [42:48] anything off of it. And so for someone [42:49] to actually make some money on it and [42:51] have the facility here in PAC, he was [42:53] all for it. [42:54] >> Okay, that was going to be my one [42:55] concern and next question. So we're not [42:57] impeding or hurting Mountain View in any [42:59] way by this because obviously we we put [43:01] so much [43:02] >> they don't want to be in that business. [43:03] And so the the positive for PAC is that [43:06] we have a facility in PAC. Yes, [43:09] >> that can uh operate at hopefully at a [43:13] profit with being able to access this [43:15] money [43:16] >> and this doesn't hurt our good [43:17] partnership with Mountain View. Yeah, we [43:19] want we want that. We love having them [43:21] here. So, thank you for checking on that [43:22] with them. [43:23] >> Yeah, the benefit is that it provides a [43:25] service that people need. [43:27] >> Yep. And so, um under the state code, [43:30] they have to have an agreement with [43:31] PACE, [43:33] uh having our permission basically to [43:35] use that license. And so, that's the the [43:37] reason for this agreement. And so the [43:39] motion would be to allow the mayor to [43:41] sign on behalf of the city to enter that [43:43] agreement. [43:45] >> Okay. [43:46] >> Any other questions? [43:48] >> Jason used to be in the hospital [43:49] business. [laughter] [43:51] >> We used to be. [43:52] >> Yeah. [43:56] » Okay. Any any further questions or [43:59] comments? [44:00] Okay. Lacking some. I'm ready for a [44:02] motion. [44:04] I motion that we approve the agreement [44:05] authorizing the operation of a nursing [44:07] care facility within Pacin City pursuant [44:10] to Utah State Code Den 10-8-90. [44:18] » Second. [44:19] >> Okay, we have a motion been seconded. Um [44:23] we'll call vote starting with Council [44:25] Smith. [44:25] >> Yes. [44:26] >> Council, [44:27] >> yes. [44:27] >> Council Roelly, [44:28] >> yes. [44:28] >> Council Moss, [44:29] >> yes. [44:30] >> Thank you. Motion carries. Uh going on [44:33] to uh number four, ordinance uh amending [44:38] the title six of PAS and city me [44:40] municipal code by enacting section [44:42] 6.04.9 [44:45] to 1 190 entitled uh trespass enformment [44:49] and exclusion authority. You're still up [44:53] Brandon and the chief. [44:57] » Chief's making Brandon do it. [laughter] [45:02] So, [45:04] >> we [laughter] [45:06] um this um amendment has come about [45:10] because we've had um several incidents [45:13] uh recently where uh different officers [45:16] have come up and talked to me about if [45:18] we can get um a uniform codification of [45:22] the trespass process uh here in PAC PAC [45:26] city. As property owners, we have the [45:28] right to exclude people from uh our [45:31] property for um behavior, for conduct, [45:34] for different issues. We can trespass [45:36] them for a period of time because it's a [45:39] public place. We can't banish them [45:41] forever, but um recently there was uh [45:44] vandalism at the pool where someone [45:46] broke a window and that person, that [45:48] group of individuals was trespassed. [45:50] There's been several fights at the skate [45:52] park where uh police feel like if they [45:55] can trespass those individuals for a [45:58] period of time that it will uh keep the violence down at at the skate park. [46:03] And so with this amendment, what we're [46:05] doing is codifying a procedure where [46:08] police are able to um trespass people [46:11] from public [46:14] um places here in PAC, be it the pool, [46:17] the skate park, the ball fields uh for [46:20] um threatening, violent, illegal conduct [46:24] for a period of up to one year. Um, as [46:27] with anything, there has to that with government enforcement, there has [46:32] to be an appeals process. So, the [46:33] appeals person would be Chief Bishop [46:35] that they could come in and talk to him [46:37] about any mitigating circumstances if he [46:40] wants to uh modify or resend that [46:43] trespass notice. Um but it the amendment [46:47] is to allow uh police that um [46:50] enforcement technique to have that in [46:52] their tool belt to help keep other [46:54] people safe at those facilities. Uh we [46:57] had the broken window at the pool. We've [46:59] had incidents at the the skate park and [47:02] we had a complaint come in um about [47:04] harassment uh racial harassment at the swimming pool. And so to be able [47:09] to trespass uh those individuals that [47:12] are participating in that for a period [47:14] of time I think would help uh keep the [47:17] other patrons safe, keep a welcoming [47:19] environment and um be some [47:23] accountability. [47:24] >> It's a great tool that the police need [47:26] to have. I know it's been frustrating [47:29] for me as a police officer some of the times and we needed to do [47:33] that and didn't really have the ability. [47:35] I know that this the Walmart and [47:36] different stores like that they can [47:38] trespass and we enforce that but we've [47:40] never had that capability in our public [47:43] facility. So I think that's a great tool [47:44] about time. [47:45] >> So is this an amendment to something or [47:47] is this brand new? Looks like it's brand [47:49] new. [47:49] >> This this would be I mean we've always [47:51] had the ability as a property owner to [47:53] trespass people. This is just codifying [47:56] um a procedure and a place to point out [48:00] in the code [48:00] >> a uniform approach to everything [48:02] >> because the the individuals that were [48:04] trespassed from the pool for breaking [48:06] the window um their uh parents called in [48:10] was like well where does it say that [48:12] they're trespassing like well we under [48:14] the state code under trespassing as a [48:16] property we can trespass them but to [48:18] have something uh to point to I think [48:20] would be very very helpful to say well [48:22] it's on our city code here's the process [48:24] to follow if you want to appeal it and [48:27] see if the the chief wants to agree with [48:30] any mitigating circumstances that you [48:31] present. [48:31] >> Yeah, we've we've always had that [48:34] ability to trespass, but how long you [48:36] know could help the next day they could [48:37] come or the next hour? The reason we [48:40] came up with up to a year is because [48:42] that's um if somebody I mean that's the [48:45] maximum penalty for a trespass uh [48:47] normally and we saying up to so if we [48:51] wanted to do less do 90 days 6 months [48:55] that we have that ability but we're not [48:57] overstepping the bounds into banishment [48:59] which would be unconstitutional. [49:02] I just want to say thanks to Chief [49:04] Bishop because last minute I messaged [49:06] him because I read it and I was like I [49:09] think this has like this could be [49:10] unconstitutional and so I wanted to meet [49:13] with him. He did. He answered everything [49:16] and after meeting with him. It put any [49:19] worries to bay and so I just wanted to [49:23] just really quick just tell him thank [49:25] you and that I really appreciate that he [49:28] took the time to do that and explain it [49:30] also. [49:32] Okay. Any other comments? Okay. I'm [49:35] ready for a motion. [49:39] » I'll make a motion that we approve the [49:41] ordinance amending the title six of the [49:43] PAC city municipal code by enacting [49:45] section 6.04.190 [49:48] entit entitled trespass enforcement and [49:52] exclusion authority. [49:54] >> I'll second. [49:56] >> Okay. You got it, man. [laughter] Okay. [50:00] we have a motion and second and [50:01] I'll come to you and for start of the [50:03] roll call vote. [50:04] >> Yes. [50:06] >> Councley, [50:06] >> yes. [50:08] >> Smith. [50:08] >> Yes. [50:09] >> Thank you. Motion carries. Moving on to [50:11] number five. Ordinance adopting the PAC [50:14] city downtown gateway area plan as part [50:17] of the city's general plan. Anders [50:45] Okay. Good evening, council members. I'm [50:48] excited to be here and present this plan [50:50] to you. Um, so a little bit of [50:52] background on this. So, the city's been [50:55] working on this plan. Um things started [50:57] off with this um in August of 2023 and we're excited to be at this point [51:03] where we have the the complete plan [51:05] ready ready to present to you all. Um so [51:09] some some background um [51:13] the about a year ago, January of um [51:16] 2025, there was a joint um planning [51:19] commission and city council meeting um [51:21] where the the plan was was presented and [51:24] we received some comments um on what was [51:27] presented at that time. Um, and then [51:29] since then, um, staff have, um, gone [51:32] through the recording of that meeting [51:34] and and made sure to, um, take take all [51:37] those comments and and find ways to [51:39] implement them into, um, into the plan. [51:43] And then we've met with each council [51:44] member individually to better understand [51:46] what those comments were and make sure [51:47] we were we were understanding [51:50] um, everything. and then and then to [51:52] meet with the the new council members [51:54] that we have that weren't there at that [51:55] meeting and make sure to understand [51:57] their needs and their goals for for this [51:58] plan. And so we feel confident that [52:01] we've addressed those needs with with [52:03] the updates that we've made and um I'm [52:05] excited to share those with you. Um so with that background um also uh the plan and staff report was was [52:14] provided in the city council packet. So [52:16] I've hope you've had a chance to look [52:17] through that. And the goal with that was [52:19] really to help kind of direct you to the [52:21] kind of key elements of the plan and [52:23] then also what those changes were that [52:25] were made. So hopefully that was clear. [52:27] And then for the public as well that staff report and and presentation [52:31] is available um online with the the [52:34] council agenda packet and then also with [52:36] the planning um the the development [52:39] services department here. Um we're happy [52:41] to share that with anyone. So, um, so [52:44] with that and kind of in the interest of [52:46] time, the goal of this presentation is [52:48] not so much to focus on the everything [52:51] in the plan, but kind of have the [52:53] understanding that you're already [52:54] familiar with what's there and just [52:56] really to focus on the changes that were [52:58] made just in this last year um to the [53:01] plan. Um, but so I'm going to go through [53:03] the slides kind of fairly quickly, but [53:04] if there's anything you want to pause on [53:06] or dive into deeper, um, I have the [53:09] staff report up available with the [53:11] complete plan, so I'm happy to go into [53:13] anything in more depth. But, um, [53:16] >> Andrew, one question. So, um, we did not [53:18] have a specific area plan for this area [53:21] before. This is brand new for the the [53:23] gateway area, correct? [53:24] >> That's correct. Yeah. [53:25] >> Yeah. And and I think that kind of goes [53:27] well into um this this first section [53:30] here where I where I want to kind of [53:32] just go over briefly the the purpose of [53:34] an area plan. So we have the PAC city [53:37] general plan which um does obviously [53:40] include this area um but it's a citywide [53:43] plan. It's uh so that was adopted in [53:45] 2020. We're looking at making some um [53:48] updates amendments to that this year. Um [53:52] but the general plan it it focuses on a [53:55] variety of elements. So those include [53:57] land use, infrastructure, [53:58] transportation, parks, recreation, [54:01] economic development, housing, and then [54:03] it's it's citywide. And so it it's um [54:06] it's the citywide vision, goals, [54:09] policies. Um but then the difference [54:12] between that and an area plan is an area [54:14] plan will focus on a specific area. And [54:16] so as of right now, we don't have [54:18] something that's tailored to to that [54:20] area of the city. Um, and so this plan [54:23] would will provide that. [54:24] >> And Andrew, this this plan can be can be [54:26] adjusted as as as needs arise. Right. [54:30] >> That's correct. Yeah. So So we're [54:32] proposing that it be adopted as an [54:34] amendment to the general plan. Um, but [54:37] there are always opportunities to [54:38] continue to refine that as needs come [54:41] up, as new data comes up, as things [54:44] change. The goal with this plan is it's [54:46] looking into the future. We hope to be [54:48] continuing to implement things in this [54:50] plan, you know, 30 years from now, [54:53] right? That we're still able to refer to these goals that were identified and see how u we we can do things to [55:00] continue to contribute to those goals. [55:02] And so as things change, we'll we'll [55:04] there will definitely be opportunities [55:06] to to make amendments to that. And then [55:09] an important thing to recognize with an [55:11] area plan and with a general plan is [55:13] it's identifying goals and direction but [55:16] it's not giving any kind of entitlement [55:18] that comes with um the pace and city [55:21] code and the zoning map. So those kind [55:24] of work together where the zoning map is [55:26] identifying um zones for each each [55:29] property and then um those zones there's [55:33] corresponding codes found in the in the [55:35] city code that um identify the permitted [55:39] uses for th those zones for the [55:41] properties with that zoning designation [55:43] and development requirements which go [55:46] over um density, building height, uh [55:49] building um site planning standards, uh [55:52] landscaping infrastructure, parking. Um [55:55] so those things we're not we're not [55:56] proposing any changes to those with the [55:58] adoption of this plan. Um this would [56:00] just help provide guidance for future. [56:03] Um it kind of there's kind of two [56:06] things. One, there's city initiated [56:08] projects and we'll talk specifically [56:11] about two city initiated projects that [56:13] we're looking forward to um that we use [56:16] this as as guidance for. And then [56:17] there's when um development proposals [56:21] come where where maybe there's a request [56:22] to change the zone or change a code, [56:25] then we can look to an area plan and [56:28] general plan as as guidance to see if if [56:30] that um corresponds kind of the vision [56:32] with the vision for the area. Um and so [56:36] that's that's kind of the two of the [56:37] primary uses of of implementing this [56:40] plan going forward. [56:41] >> Still be an opportunity for plenty of [56:43] council involvement as as you go down [56:45] that road. [56:46] >> Yeah, exactly. So the so any kind of [56:48] change to a zoning map or the zoning [56:50] code that's those are legislative [56:51] decisions that require um planning [56:54] commission review public hearing and [56:56] then ultimately a city council decision. [56:59] Um, but it's it's really helpful to have [57:02] these plans as as staff as communicating [57:05] with property owners, with the public, [57:07] um, to have some kind of guidance and and, uh, a a goal so everyone's on [57:13] the same page of of where we're heading [57:15] for for this area and to be able to um [57:18] provide some some helpful direction. Um, [57:22] okay. So, why do we need an area plan [57:26] for this this specific area? So this [57:29] following page here explains the area [57:31] that's been identified on that on that [57:34] map to the right um as the study area [57:37] for this plan. So that includes the [57:39] historic downtown area going up the [57:41] north main street corridor up to um Main [57:45] Street, the Main Street interchange and [57:47] then kind of the area around there. So [57:49] there's a lot of changes that we're [57:51] anticipating in the near future to this [57:53] area. So, some of those are the the new [57:56] PAC Parkway interchange and then that [57:58] PAC Parkway arterial road with a lot of [58:01] anticipated development around there. [58:03] Um, changes to the the main street [58:06] interchange and then the frontr runner [58:08] station and surrounding um planned to [58:12] area and then the um UVU campus that a [58:16] satellite campus that we hope to have [58:18] all right in that that area. And so with [58:20] all that there there's a lot of [58:22] opportunities and and um you know [58:26] benefits that that will bring to the [58:27] city. Um, but there's also some [58:30] challenges that those could bring [58:31] specifically to the downtown historic [58:35] downtown area with making sure that [58:37] that's still a viable core heart of our [58:40] city that that we're that businesses are [58:42] still able to be viable and and that [58:45] we're not um drawing [clears throat] too [58:47] much traffic and customers away from the [58:49] area that's in competing with that area. [58:51] So, so with that those kind of [58:55] conditions, the city really wanted to be [58:58] proactive in planning for that area and [59:00] not just reacting to those changes after [59:02] they come, but making sure we're we're [59:04] doing what we can now to address those [59:07] potential concerns and and help improve [59:09] this area and set it up for for success. [59:12] Um, so so those are kind of the goals [59:14] for this for this plan that that are [59:16] kind of discussed here. [59:19] Um, so since that initial start in in [59:23] 2023, there's a lot of work that's gone [59:25] into to getting where we're at today. [59:28] Um, overall, I just would emphasize, you [59:30] know, a lot of public outreach. We [59:33] really feel that this is a this plan [59:35] reflects the goals of the community. [59:36] It's it's the community's plan. Um there [59:39] was uh public o open house website [59:44] meetings with uh key property owners. Um [59:47] a technical advisory board was formed. [59:49] Um and and really the goal was to [59:52] understand the goals of the community [59:54] and make sure that that this is [59:56] addressing the needs of of those people [59:58] that will be impacted most by um by this [1:00:01] plan that they have a that kind of rare [1:00:03] opportunity to really have a a say in in [1:00:05] what's what's going to happen around [1:00:07] them. Um [1:00:09] and [1:00:11] so so with that um the plan that we have [1:00:14] today, I've identified um a few sections [1:00:19] here that are kind of the key key [1:00:21] elements of that plan that we'll we'll [1:00:23] be going to when it comes to [1:00:25] implementing it in in coming days and [1:00:27] years. And um as we mentioned before, [1:00:31] we've we've made some changes to that [1:00:33] just in the last year based on on the [1:00:35] comments from the city council. And so [1:00:37] three of those sections um are are where [1:00:41] we see those changes. And so um I'll go [1:00:44] through kind of each one of these [1:00:45] sections, but focus on on those sections [1:00:47] where there's those changes and and and [1:00:50] kind of address what changes were made [1:00:52] and how how they address those comments. [1:00:56] Um so the first section here was um [1:00:59] identifying kind of the land use, [1:01:02] assessing the land use. One thing that [1:01:03] was identified early on was that even [1:01:06] though this is a fairly small area, [1:01:08] there's really three distinct kind of [1:01:10] neighborhoods within this planning area [1:01:13] and an important distinct goals and [1:01:16] needs for for these area these areas [1:01:19] that were developed. So the first is the [1:01:22] downtown district. The goal really of [1:01:24] there is to um continue to help um [1:01:27] revitalize that area. Um it support [1:01:31] businesses um help encourage um high [1:01:36] quality design that helps support the feel of that area and the um small [1:01:41] town feel it has and even expand the [1:01:43] feel of that area in surrounding [1:01:46] properties. [1:01:47] Um and then there's the main street [1:01:51] district. So the um that north main [1:01:54] street corridor where there's a there's [1:01:56] um some pioneer architecture and a lot [1:02:00] of residential homes that really [1:02:02] contribute to giving pace in that small [1:02:04] town feel for the for the entire city. [1:02:07] And so it's important to um help [1:02:10] [clears throat] [1:02:11] help preserve that feel um um through [1:02:16] some adaptive reuse opportunities and um [1:02:20] and and maintaining primarily [1:02:22] residential uses. Um and then there's [1:02:26] the gateway area which there's a lot of [1:02:28] opportunities there in that area for [1:02:30] redevelopment. Um and and the goal there [1:02:33] is to create something that's unique, [1:02:35] that's not just another um freeway, [1:02:38] interchange commercial area, but [1:02:40] something that has a unique feel with a [1:02:42] goal of drawing people off of the [1:02:45] freeway onto Main Street and eventually [1:02:46] into that downtown area and providing [1:02:49] kind of the needs providing for the [1:02:51] needs of the surrounding area and create [1:02:53] something that with a personality [1:02:55] um that that we're excited about. And so [1:03:00] um this first section of the plan was [1:03:03] identifying kind of the existing [1:03:04] conditions performing a analysis to [1:03:07] identify what um what what's needed [1:03:11] based on those existing conditions and [1:03:13] then using that and that public input um [1:03:16] went into this conceptual land use plan. [1:03:20] Um so some changes that were made based [1:03:22] on on city council feedback with this [1:03:25] specifically one was um identifying [1:03:29] definitions for these different land use [1:03:31] designations. Um which we feel like was [1:03:34] really important to help specify what [1:03:37] we're wanting in this area and then what [1:03:39] we don't want in in these certain areas. [1:03:41] Um so with the mixeduse central district [1:03:46] um that's what's found around the [1:03:48] historic downtown area. Um that area was [1:03:52] actually that use is expanded to beyond [1:03:54] just that fourb block area. Um and it [1:03:57] focuses on um primarily [1:04:01] uh retail and and retail that supports [1:04:03] the home to adventure um vision for the [1:04:06] area. Um the area should be walkable. um [1:04:11] and have high quality architecture and [1:04:14] site planning and then um yeah just support those existing [1:04:22] businesses that are there. Um and then [1:04:25] with the mixed use area um that's allows [1:04:29] a variety of uses but is primarily [1:04:31] focused on retail uses that will um kind [1:04:35] of support the needs of the surrounding [1:04:36] area and and create something that's [1:04:38] unique um that that we don't really have [1:04:41] in in other parts of the city um [1:04:45] and and and uses that will will draw [1:04:47] people into the to main street. Um and [1:04:50] so those definitions I think go a long [1:04:53] ways in in future conversations with [1:04:55] property owners and helping understand [1:04:57] the vision for these areas. Um another [1:05:00] thing was um replacing a highdensity res [1:05:04] or uh residential on the Nebo school [1:05:07] district property um with two scenarios. [1:05:11] one that would um envision kind of [1:05:14] repurposing the existing building on [1:05:16] that property for an industrial use that [1:05:18] could um that could benefit from the [1:05:23] existing facilities there. And then a a [1:05:27] second concept would be a residential [1:05:29] use that would help support the proposed [1:05:32] commercial in that area. [1:05:36] Um, so then this other page was a [1:05:40] conceptual [1:05:40] >> Sorry, Anders, could you go back to the [1:05:42] previous slide? What is the Sorry, [1:05:45] what's the the hashed the hashed marks [1:05:48] again there? [1:05:49] >> Yeah. So that's the um Nebo school [1:05:52] district property. [1:05:53] >> Oh, that's the busy yard. Okay. Yep. [1:05:55] >> And so that was formerly shown as a [1:05:57] highdensity residential, right? So now [1:05:59] we're replacing that kind of referring [1:06:00] to these concept A and B. [1:06:03] >> Okay. Yes. Thank you. [1:06:13] >> Yeah. And so then this conceptual site [1:06:16] plan is focusing on that gateway area. [1:06:20] And so important thing with this again [1:06:22] with the entire plan, it's it's [1:06:23] conceptual. It's not granting any [1:06:26] entitlements or saying that this [1:06:27] specific use has to be in this area. [1:06:29] It's just providing more of a vision for [1:06:31] what what we could see in in this area. [1:06:34] Um any any kind of entitlement would come with a a requested zone [1:06:40] change that would have to go to the the [1:06:42] city council. Um and so uh one some [1:06:47] things that were that were changed to [1:06:49] this page specifically was again adding [1:06:52] some more um definitions and refining [1:06:54] definitions to to really clarify what we [1:06:57] mean by these different um uses. Um [1:07:01] there was a significant reduction in the [1:07:03] amount of um residential um really kind [1:07:06] of getting rid of any high high density [1:07:08] residential [1:07:09] um and and [1:07:12] uh focusing more on on mixed use. Um [1:07:16] and then um with the flex use light [1:07:19] industrial um focusing there on uh uses [1:07:23] that would be low impact maybe more [1:07:27] office oriented and and high quality [1:07:29] architecture. [1:07:30] Um and then with the kind of central [1:07:34] area um focusing more on mixed use with [1:07:38] that area um with ensuring that there's [1:07:42] retail with that. And the goal really of [1:07:44] that area is to create something that's [1:07:46] unique that that provides sort of this [1:07:49] um pedestrianoriented center to the area [1:07:52] that has that draw and provides the [1:07:55] needs for the surrounding area. has that [1:07:58] plaza area that um we could see as a [1:08:05] um benefit to the the surrounding area. [1:08:07] And so preserving kind of that small [1:08:09] town feel um [1:08:12] wi with that area. So [1:08:18] some other sections, this was kind of [1:08:20] that that third section that was was [1:08:22] changed recently. [1:08:25] Um, [1:08:28] so the one image on the left is is [1:08:30] showing potential building height. Um, [1:08:34] so that was changed significantly where [1:08:36] now we're we're limiting the majority of [1:08:38] area to two-story buildings and some [1:08:40] one-story buildings. Um, and then there [1:08:43] were quite a few changes to the [1:08:44] precedent images. Um, overall I would [1:08:48] say the changes were kind of focused on [1:08:51] um getting rid of anything that would I [1:08:53] guess uh encourage or or um uh [1:09:00] indicate that we were um open to make to [1:09:04] maybe um [1:09:07] higher like multi-story densities [1:09:10] whether that be commercial or [1:09:11] residential. and then um focusing really [1:09:14] on high quality architecture and and [1:09:16] more of a small town [1:09:19] feel architecture rather than like a [1:09:21] modern architecture. So that was overall [1:09:24] the changes that were made. Um I'll go [1:09:26] through these pages quickly, but [1:09:29] >> and thanks for for changing these Jill [1:09:31] and Anders and and Michael too and for [1:09:33] all your work on on this. Uh I think [1:09:36] this is one area of town that we can [1:09:38] really make feel different and one of [1:09:39] the ways we do that is preserving our [1:09:40] view of our mountains and there there is [1:09:43] a time and a place for taller buildings [1:09:44] in Pacin City. Uh but I love the fact [1:09:47] that this is not the place for it. They can they can stay shorter here. [1:09:51] Obviously the one that we're allowing to [1:09:52] be three may maybe a hotel hopefully or [1:09:55] something like that. But uh but I think [1:09:58] this is this is a good use of of the [1:10:00] airspace to have the view of the [1:10:02] mountain as they're hopefully heading to [1:10:04] downtown or up Pac Canyon. So thank you [1:10:06] for hearing our our remarks on this and [1:10:08] lowering the height of these buildings. [1:10:10] >> Yeah. Yeah. And so you know none none of these images are going to be [1:10:14] perfect. there might be something that's maybe not exactly compliant with [1:10:18] the the vision or the or current codes [1:10:20] or or anything, but the idea is that [1:10:22] it's providing a general precedent of of [1:10:24] the type of architecture or or feel that [1:10:27] we'd want to have in in these areas. So, [1:10:29] these images are for not just this [1:10:31] gateway area, but the entire planning [1:10:33] area. Um so this this page is that [1:10:37] gateway area and that mixeduse [1:10:39] neighborhood commercial areas, [1:10:41] residential areas um that that central [1:10:44] gathering space um that that we would [1:10:48] hope to envision as kind of a core piece [1:10:50] to this to this development. Um and then [1:10:54] the the uh flex use and hotel uses. Um [1:10:59] and [clears throat] then the retail in [1:11:00] the downtown district. um trying to [1:11:03] preserve the the high quality um [1:11:06] historic architecture that's there and [1:11:08] encourage redevelopment that would that [1:11:10] would kind of further that. Um and then [1:11:13] this was a a precedent image that was [1:11:15] created. There was quite a few changes [1:11:17] that were made to this than what was [1:11:18] originally presented to all. Um [1:11:22] reflecting the changes in in uses um [1:11:25] that were made to the other the the land [1:11:27] use plan and and conceptual site plan [1:11:29] and then also reflecting the changes in height. Um [1:11:34] and then some other images showing um [1:11:36] kind of that main street leading up to [1:11:38] the um plaza area and and a potential [1:11:41] rendering of that plaza area that could [1:11:43] be a great draw and and make that area [1:11:46] have a unique feel to it. Um uh another [1:11:50] section of this plan was an economic [1:11:53] assessment [1:11:54] um that and and SWAT analysis and that [1:11:58] all kind of went into ensuring that what [1:12:01] was proposed with land uses um was [1:12:04] something that would be doable that we [1:12:05] that the the market would support those [1:12:08] uses and we feel like the changes that [1:12:10] were made still still are in line with [1:12:12] that as original assessment. Another [1:12:15] part of the economic assessment um was [1:12:18] identifying these trigger sites. So, a [1:12:21] trigger cites the idea is that it's [1:12:23] identifying areas that are key um to [1:12:27] making this plan a success where if [1:12:29] these properties can be developed in a [1:12:31] way that's kind of in line with the [1:12:33] vision for the plan, then it would set a [1:12:36] precedent for surrounding properties and [1:12:39] really help um [1:12:42] uh yeah, just just make the entire plan [1:12:45] go the way that's that's envisioned. And [1:12:48] so it identifies several trigger sites. [1:12:51] And one thing we're excited about is um [1:12:54] we've received a grant um from MAG that [1:12:57] would provide funding to um sort of [1:13:01] implement this plan for these trigger [1:13:02] sites. So it would it would provide [1:13:04] funding for the development of [1:13:06] architectural plans um and site planning [1:13:10] and then some uh transportation [1:13:13] um intersection planning um that would [1:13:17] help kind of take the the the next step [1:13:19] to actually make this plan become a [1:13:21] reality. So that's one of these city [1:13:23] initiated um projects that we're excited [1:13:26] about that that um could really make [1:13:28] this this plan a reality, right? And so [1:13:30] that includes this North Street 100 [1:13:33] North Main Street interchange and that [1:13:35] city property um and then the um [1:13:40] city-owned property at 40 South Main [1:13:42] Street and then um this site here on 400 [1:13:45] North and Main Street, the Guerrer Farms [1:13:48] um piece. Um and so re redeveloping [1:13:51] these properties in a way that's that's [1:13:53] kind of in line with with the vision for [1:13:54] this area. This is right in the center [1:13:56] of that that plan area, this [1:13:58] intersection and property. Um so so that [1:14:02] we're we're excited to kind of get going [1:14:04] on that plan, but it is sort of [1:14:06] dependent on on being able to adopt this [1:14:08] plan um in order to take the this first [1:14:11] step of implementing it. Um the plan [1:14:15] also included a transportation [1:14:17] assessment identifying um transportation [1:14:21] needs, a conceptual main north main [1:14:24] street cross-section um future grid [1:14:28] connections and active transportation [1:14:30] connections. And then um it included a [1:14:34] historic kind of a a pretty in-depth [1:14:36] analysis of the historic um district and potential um recommended changes to [1:14:43] our code that that um [1:14:47] that uh impacts or uh regulates [1:14:51] development of the historic area. Um, [1:14:54] and we've already begun looking at ways [1:14:56] to implement that and and changing our [1:14:58] um, central commercial zone to to [1:15:00] incorporate these recommendations. [1:15:03] Um, and then there's the active [1:15:06] transportation plan that was included in [1:15:08] this project that that's already been [1:15:09] adopted by the city council. So, there's [1:15:11] a lot of pieces to this uh plan that [1:15:14] we're that are providing actionable [1:15:18] steps to to not just have it be [1:15:20] something that sits on the shelf, but [1:15:22] really that we're we're excited to be [1:15:24] taking the next step to implement this [1:15:26] plan and and have identified several [1:15:28] ways to to already start that process. [1:15:31] Um, and so we're we're we're excited to continue with that. Um overall our [1:15:38] staff's analysis is that um the plan [1:15:41] truly reflects the needs of the [1:15:43] community um that through the outreach [1:15:46] that was done with its development um [1:15:49] and that it that it um addresses the the [1:15:53] comments from the city council and then [1:15:55] continues to be in line with the [1:15:58] economic assessment that was that was [1:16:00] done for for what would make what would [1:16:02] be successful in this area. Um, we also [1:16:05] feel that it mitigates the the [1:16:07] challenges and kind of addresses those [1:16:09] original goals of the plan. Um, that the [1:16:13] unique goals that it identifies for each [1:16:14] area will really help with implementing [1:16:16] the plan. And then finally, we we feel [1:16:19] like it really um helps with providing [1:16:22] the guidance that the city planning [1:16:25] commission, city council, public, we all [1:16:27] need to kind of be on the same page for [1:16:29] understanding the the needs of this [1:16:31] area, the the direction that this area [1:16:34] is going and and and would really help [1:16:36] with with developing partnerships and [1:16:38] providing um that that direction for [1:16:41] this that's specific and tailored to [1:16:43] this area. And then it provides the [1:16:45] leverage that's that's needed to really [1:16:47] be able to demand high quality [1:16:49] development and and architecture when different developments are being [1:16:53] proposed. So, um, with that, I'll uh um [1:16:57] ask if the city council has any [1:16:58] questions for me. [1:17:00] >> And I just, um, I just want to say thank [1:17:03] you so much for all the hard work you [1:17:05] put into this. I think it looks [1:17:06] wonderful. You really listened to what [1:17:08] we were saying. We really wanted to keep [1:17:10] the views available with keeping the the [1:17:13] number of stories low. Um [1:17:17] I'd also like to maybe bring to people's [1:17:22] attention that we can have big box [1:17:25] stores [1:17:27] um I think uh make sure their look is [1:17:30] nice. I I think of I think it's the [1:17:32] Pleasant Grove or the American Fork. [1:17:34] Walmart is brick and it's it's doesn't [1:17:36] look like a Walmart. Not that we have to [1:17:38] have our Walmart changed, but any in the [1:17:40] future. Um, can we do that? But other [1:17:44] than that, everything looks wonderful. I [1:17:45] think this is a great plan and I hope [1:17:47] that we can stay loyal to it and [1:17:51] um, good job. So, thank you so much. [1:17:56] » Yeah, I just well definitely couldn't [1:17:58] have done it without all of you. I mean, [1:17:59] it was it was great to have those those [1:18:01] one-on-one conversations with each of [1:18:03] you to really to really help get us to [1:18:05] where we're at. So [1:18:06] >> been able to watch the the work that's [1:18:08] being done on this and and and thank you [1:18:10] very much for all the attention to [1:18:12] details. [1:18:14] >> There's there's few things as important [1:18:16] as plans within our city. And so good [1:18:20] plans protect both the city and the [1:18:21] residents and the businesses too. And [1:18:24] echo what council Moss said that we need [1:18:26] to hopefully us and future councils can [1:18:28] have the the wherewithal and strength to [1:18:30] stick to the plan uh where it makes sense to do such. Um did this go [1:18:36] before the planning commission? [1:18:37] >> Yeah, I failed to mention that. Yeah. [1:18:39] So, uh a public hearing was held with [1:18:41] the planning commission um just uh [1:18:45] earlier last month um and they [1:18:47] recommended um it was a unanimous [1:18:50] recommendation to the city council to [1:18:52] adopt it into the um general [1:18:54] [clears throat] plan which is the the [1:18:56] recommended motion. [1:18:57] >> Okay. [1:18:58] >> Thank you. [1:18:59] >> Wonderful. Without a plan, we we fail. [1:19:01] So, this is a great plan. [1:19:03] >> [clears throat] [1:19:04] >> I got a few things. Um I It's been a [1:19:06] long time coming. Been like two years. [1:19:08] So nice nice to get this point to this [1:19:11] point. Um just a few clarifications. As [1:19:15] I look through this on the conceptual [1:19:16] land use plan, it had under commercial. [1:19:19] It had restaurants and but not in the [1:19:21] mixed use. And it just seemed like the [1:19:24] restaurants really ought to be in the [1:19:25] mixed use and not in the commercial like [1:19:28] where Paris RV is. It just didn't quite [1:19:31] make sense to me. [1:19:33] It's on page 2021 right there. [1:19:36] [clears throat] If you'd go to [1:19:37] commercial, it says [1:19:39] >> primary retail and restaurants and [1:19:41] grocery stores. But [1:19:44] that's that red area, but it seems like [1:19:46] in the mixed juice area, right where the [1:19:48] interchange is is more where you're [1:19:49] going to want your restaurants. [1:19:52] >> I agree. Yeah. Um [1:19:58] Yeah. I mean, um, ultimately I think, you know, as staff, as we're [1:20:03] working with property owners, it's [1:20:05] certainly not discouraging restaurants [1:20:08] with with kind of the general um [1:20:11] language there. I think it would it [1:20:12] would be definitely helpful if it did [1:20:14] specifically say restaurants. Um, so [1:20:19] yeah, that's that's great feedback. Um, [1:20:22] >> I think it does fall under that low [1:20:24] impact commercial, but to be more [1:20:26] specific to open the eyes of restaurant [1:20:27] owners, I think that'd be good to add [1:20:29] that in there as well. It's a good [1:20:30] >> Yeah. And ultimately, it's Yeah, it's not a zone where we're not [1:20:34] identifying every permitted use, right? [1:20:36] But but it would be helpful to identify [1:20:38] those uses that are especially [1:20:40] >> such as restaurants in there. Yep. [1:20:44] >> And another place in there, it talks [1:20:45] about sales tax incentives for retail. [1:20:49] As far as I know, the state code will [1:20:51] not let us do that. And so I don't I [1:20:56] don't know if we ought to strike that or [1:20:58] leave it in there or not, but state code [1:21:00] won't let us give incentives for retail. [1:21:05] >> Okay. Yeah, that's well [1:21:07] >> unfortunately. Make a note of that. [1:21:08] >> Yeah, unfortunately. Then the other [1:21:10] thing I had is on talked about um [1:21:12] appendix C. What is appendix C? the talk [1:21:16] that's for the his basin historic [1:21:18] district. [1:21:20] Oh, [1:21:20] >> okay. Um, was that in there? [1:21:23] >> I don't think I included the appendixes, [1:21:26] but yes, I believe that would have been [1:21:28] the the historic district [1:21:31] overlay. And so, that wasn't included [1:21:33] just because it wasn't necessarily [1:21:36] part of what you'd be adopting into the general plan. It was more of [1:21:41] something that would be helpful for [1:21:43] staff to use as we're looking at [1:21:46] implementing. [1:21:48] >> But isn't appendix C part of this plan? [1:21:50] I mean that's [1:21:53] >> so I just don't know what's in appendix [1:21:54] C. What where it's saying? So what's it [1:21:57] is it defining what we're going to do in [1:21:59] the downtown or I know we're working on [1:22:01] an or a code for that but does this tell [1:22:03] us what the code's going to be? [1:22:06] >> Um it does it does not say what it's [1:22:09] going to be. Um but it just suggests [1:22:12] recommendations [1:22:14] >> re it provides recommendations for [1:22:17] changing it [1:22:17] >> as long as recommendations [1:22:19] >> it's not worded as code and so when it [1:22:24] comes to implementing it there there's [1:22:27] several things that need to be I guess [1:22:29] tweaked with with how it's worded so [1:22:31] that it's it's code language right it [1:22:33] it's kind of that that legal language [1:22:35] rather than with appendix C it's worded [1:22:38] more as a um kind of a design [1:22:40] guidelines. Um, and so yeah, that that's [1:22:45] one of the the things that we're hoping [1:22:47] to do to to implement this plan in the [1:22:49] near future is is take that language in [1:22:53] that appendix C and and kind of turn it [1:22:56] more in take take what, you know, take [1:22:58] what we like and leave the rest and and turn it more into um code language [1:23:03] that then would eventually come to you [1:23:06] as for a proposed amendment to the CC-1 [1:23:09] zone ordinance. [1:23:11] The last thing I have is just the way we're really going to get this [1:23:16] to take off is because [1:23:19] uh the Flying J property, which is the [1:23:20] key to this place, is um they're just [1:23:24] kind of waiting to see what the happens [1:23:26] with the braided ramps or if we have [1:23:29] frontage road and and waiting for the to [1:23:33] um UD do and to come up with a plan for [1:23:36] that. So, I think that's really key for [1:23:40] this is to make sure we keep pushing [1:23:42] that and getting that in place so we can [1:23:44] have this property be ready to de be [1:23:46] developed. But I like the plan. I think [1:23:48] it's great and thank you for all your [1:23:50] work. [1:23:52] >> Okay. Any other council discussion, [1:23:55] comments? [1:23:55] >> I was just going to say um compared to [1:23:58] what you first showed me, because [1:23:59] obviously I came in as a newbie. [1:24:01] compared to what you first showed me. I [1:24:03] feel like everything that I put out [1:24:06] there, you guys listened to and it looks [1:24:10] completely different. And when I was [1:24:12] going through all the pictures and the I [1:24:14] know they're just ideas and renderings [1:24:16] and such, but it made me feel like if [1:24:19] that's what was there, I could still go [1:24:21] into historic downtown and feel like I'm [1:24:24] driving down historic Main Street and [1:24:26] not coming into a big city. cuz as I had [1:24:30] said, I had said [1:24:31] >> you're going to have two other exits [1:24:32] that we can make modern and big and [1:24:35] whatnot, you know, like this is this is [1:24:37] it. This is historic downtown. And so I [1:24:40] just want to say thanks for listening. [1:24:41] It sounds like everyone else feels the [1:24:43] same. So you did great. [1:24:46] >> Wonderful. Sounds like we're ready for a [1:24:47] motion. [1:24:49] >> I'll make a motion that we adopt the [1:24:50] patient uh downtown gateway area plan as [1:24:53] part of the city's general plan. Also, [1:24:56] >> can I can I amend that to also Should we [1:24:58] add, Brian, to add the the wording of [1:25:00] restaurants to mixed juice and the [1:25:02] deletion of sales tax incentives in the [1:25:04] plan? [1:25:04] >> Yeah, I can amend my uh motion to that. [1:25:08] >> I'll second. [1:25:09] >> Okay, we have a motion been seconded. [1:25:11] Roll call vote starting with Council [1:25:13] Smith. [1:25:14] >> Yes. [1:25:15] >> Council Hick. [1:25:15] >> Yes. [1:25:16] >> Council Roelly. [1:25:16] >> Yes. [1:25:17] >> Council Moss. [1:25:18] >> Yes. [1:25:19] >> Thank you. Motion carries unanimously. [1:25:21] That brings us to number six. uh [1:25:24] discussion on endo rodeo arena [1:25:25] feasibility study. Dave and and uh [1:25:30] >> Anders take this. [1:25:31] >> Oh, Anders. Good. Yeah, I know you've [1:25:33] been heavily involved. Go ahead, Anders. [1:25:37] >> Yeah. Um [1:25:40] [clears throat] [1:25:41] Okay. So, what I have up here is just um [1:25:45] uh when in when we included the plan in [1:25:49] the packet um it it had this one-page um [1:25:52] sort of staff report, executive summary [1:25:55] of of um what what seemed to be the kind [1:25:58] of key elements of of that study. Um and [1:26:02] so I'll just just kind of really quickly [1:26:04] go through what these are. Um, so for [1:26:08] some background, um, Councilman Hwlet, [1:26:11] uh, secured a grant for the city that [1:26:13] allowed us to study, um, the economic [1:26:19] impact and, um, feasibility of having a [1:26:24] city um, rodeo and indoor um, equestrian [1:26:29] riding arena in PAC. Um, and there's significant interest from the [1:26:35] community in in this type of facility. [1:26:38] Um, and so we just kind of wanted to [1:26:40] take take a first step at at going from [1:26:43] just a an idea out there to, okay, what [1:26:46] would it actually look like? What would [1:26:47] it actually take to to do something like [1:26:50] this? Um and so um we we were able to [1:26:54] have uh Crossroads Consultant [1:26:57] was um this group that's done lots of [1:26:59] similar studies like this across the [1:27:02] country and they came in and did a I [1:27:04] think a great job very thorough analysis [1:27:06] of of this type of facility and and all [1:27:09] the impacts that it would have. So kind [1:27:12] of some some highlights to this. Um one [1:27:15] of the first things it did was looking [1:27:16] at um comparable facilities. So, it [1:27:20] looked at um rodeo facilities in the um [1:27:25] near area to to PAC um that we could [1:27:29] compare kind of their their operations [1:27:32] and their costs and revenues. Um but [1:27:34] then it also looked at kind of a more [1:27:36] nationwide uh view of of uh facilities [1:27:40] that were maybe more similar to to what [1:27:42] PAC would potentially be doing. Um and [1:27:46] so it identified um [1:27:49] uh their um how many events they hold a [1:27:53] year, their their revenues, their [1:27:54] expenses. Um [1:27:57] with the comparable facilities, they [1:27:59] operate at a average operating deficit [1:28:01] of approximately 675,000 [1:28:04] was seemed to be kind of the main [1:28:06] takeaway from that section of the study. [1:28:09] um site considerations looked at uh what [1:28:12] would be kind of the the main components [1:28:15] that would be needed on on a site like [1:28:17] this um to kind of comply with market [1:28:20] demands. Um and and and identified that [1:28:26] there would probably be a need for about [1:28:27] a 100 acres um for a facility that would meet all those market needs. [1:28:32] Um and then it identified what would be [1:28:35] specifically included in that. And then [1:28:37] it talked about estimated budgets using [1:28:40] um kind of all the data and information [1:28:42] that they have and comparing it with [1:28:43] other similar sites. Um and kind of the [1:28:47] numbers they came up with was that um [1:28:49] the estimated cost of actually um [1:28:52] constructing the facility would be 96 to [1:28:56] 152 million which would not include the [1:28:58] cost of land. Um and then which would be [1:29:02] that you know initial cost. And then as [1:29:06] far as operating costs um and operating [1:29:08] revenue would be 828 [1:29:12] um,000 [1:29:14] to 1.2 million. Operating revenue um 1.3 [1:29:19] million to 1.4 [1:29:21] about 1.5 million. uh which would also [1:29:24] result as as seen in other comparable [1:29:26] facilities in a operating loss of about [1:29:29] um 250 to 470 [1:29:35] um,000. [1:29:36] And then um one important part of this [1:29:38] is um with a facility like this it's understood that there's sort of a [1:29:43] multiplier effect where it has um it [1:29:46] draws people into the city um which then [1:29:50] encourages [1:29:51] growth of businesses which then [1:29:53] encourages you know growth of um drawing [1:29:55] more people in and more businesses. So [1:29:57] it so it has that economic impact that should be considered right as we're [1:30:03] trying to support the community um and [1:30:06] not just this uh field but but but in [1:30:10] general. Um and so some estimates that [1:30:12] it has for that is that it would um have [1:30:15] direct and indirect spending of [1:30:17] approximately 13 to 19 million um five [1:30:21] to 3 to 5 million in in labor income and [1:30:24] then um estimated tax revenues of [1:30:27] potentially up to 1.3 million. [1:30:30] >> Do we know Andrew the the time frame on [1:30:32] that? Is that within 5 years the life of [1:30:34] the the arena the where where are those [1:30:37] numbers the n you know the up to 19 [1:30:39] million or [1:30:41] yeah I I don't um I don't know if I [1:30:44] could answer that question quickly from [1:30:46] this page [1:30:49] um [1:30:53] » oh [1:30:54] >> annually but regional [1:30:57] Okay. [1:31:02] » Annual that's pretty big number for [1:31:04] annual return regionally, right? [1:31:13] And how big of a region do you think [1:31:14] we're talking here for something in [1:31:17] >> bas? [1:31:25] » Okay. [1:31:33] Thank you. [1:31:34] >> Yeah, there there is a map that kind of [1:31:36] identifies that regional economic [1:31:38] impact. I'm not remembering what page it [1:31:40] was on, but but yeah, that more or less [1:31:42] Provo South. [1:31:49] » They they stated that we were we were in [1:31:51] a good area for that. that it would be [1:31:52] more centrally located and so be easier [1:31:54] to be supported by a regional area. [1:31:57] Right. [1:31:59] >> Yeah. One one thing that I don't know is [1:32:00] really addressed necessarily in here is just that there was um a lot of just public support for this facility [1:32:08] and that it would be able to um continue [1:32:12] to to have business, right? It would [1:32:14] remain remain full. Um it just that that [1:32:19] doesn't mean that it would be profitable [1:32:21] due to the the c the operating costs and [1:32:24] revenues but but it would be successful [1:32:26] and that it it would continue to um have [1:32:32] be used I guess estimation. [1:32:36] >> Go ahead. [1:32:36] >> Oh go ahead. [1:32:37] >> I just I know uh you know I'm not much [1:32:39] of a horse guy but I know a lot of the people I grew out grew grew up with [1:32:43] out in West Mountain would be all about [1:32:45] having something like this. would really [1:32:46] like this. Obviously, the the 100 acres, [1:32:48] that's a big piece of property to find. [1:32:50] I guess, you know, a lot of that [1:32:52] probably park parking, but that presents [1:32:54] a challenge in of itself of finding [1:32:56] something that big. [1:32:59] >> Yeah, definitely. [1:33:00] >> What I guess my question is um if [1:33:04] something were to come of this [1:33:07] time frame wise, what is the idea? [1:33:10] Because feel like I'm really loud [1:33:12] tonight. Um, I don't see [1:33:17] Hayes being able to [1:33:21] support any of this for a very long [1:33:23] time. And you're talking to a horse [1:33:24] owner. I [1:33:28] I'm going to be blatant and honest. I'm [1:33:31] not in support of it. I'm an accountant, [1:33:33] so I instantly see a negative revenue. [1:33:37] Um, and we're hoping it's going to bring [1:33:40] in other money. And I look out at all [1:33:43] the other departments and I think, well, [1:33:44] we have so many other other things that [1:33:47] to me is more important. [1:33:49] There is an indoor arena seven miles [1:33:52] that way. I know that Young Living is [1:33:53] actually, cuz I'm in a horse community [1:33:55] group, they actually just put it out [1:33:57] there that they're going to do yearly [1:33:58] memberships that you can go use their [1:34:00] indoor arena. And you know, and it's I [1:34:05] don't think that we could beat the price [1:34:08] um that they offer. [1:34:10] I think like Spanish works like a $100 a [1:34:12] year and same with like Young Living, [1:34:15] that's what they were talking about. And [1:34:17] so for me, it would take a lot and [1:34:21] partnerships if someone else is going to [1:34:24] fund it somehow. So that was my very [1:34:26] first thing is like what are we thinking [1:34:29] 10 years, 20 years? [1:34:31] >> Well, [1:34:31] >> five years. [1:34:32] >> And let me jump in on that one. We're [1:34:34] not advocating that we we do this like [1:34:37] >> No, we're just looking at it. [1:34:39] >> This is just the We wanted to come and [1:34:41] provide you with the results of this [1:34:42] study. [1:34:43] >> Is it to put more resources into it I [1:34:45] guess then or is it just [1:34:46] >> I think I think it was a very eyeopening [1:34:49] experience for all of us to be able to [1:34:51] say you know we've talked about this for [1:34:53] a long long time and then council member [1:34:54] Hillet was able to get some grant money [1:34:56] to actually study the feasibility of [1:34:58] this. Okay. [1:34:58] >> And this was really just to understand [1:35:00] what would be feasible and and I think [1:35:03] for me the take-home was if we didn't [1:35:07] have to build it. [1:35:09] >> Yeah. If we didn't have to buy the land, [1:35:11] build it, and provide it with utilities. [1:35:14] >> Yeah. [1:35:14] >> Then the revenue that it generated plus [1:35:17] the the tax revenue that it would bring [1:35:20] in, [1:35:21] >> it it could be a really good [1:35:22] opportunity. But advertising $150 [1:35:25] million, [1:35:27] that that's a very heavy lift. [1:35:30] >> Okay. And that [1:35:31] >> we need benevolent billionaires. [1:35:32] >> That's Yes. And that's helpful to know [1:35:34] because when I did see it on the agenda, [1:35:35] I was like, "So, what are we [1:35:37] >> like? Do we just sit here and chitchat [1:35:39] like, you know, kind of thing? Do we [1:35:41] keep pushing? Do we that's it? Lay to [1:35:44] rest kind of." So, thank you for that. [1:35:46] But that's my that's my [1:35:48] >> So, I want to give you a little [1:35:49] background. So, this is a grant from the [1:35:52] Utah Tourism Office from the state [1:35:54] through ARPA. And so, it was a $50,000 [1:35:58] grant and it's 100% paid by them. So, it [1:36:01] didn't cost us any money. And I know the [1:36:02] mayor's been wanting to look at this for [1:36:04] a long time, do a study. So, we're able [1:36:06] to get that grant. So, um, a few things [1:36:09] from this study that one impressed me [1:36:12] was how much demand there really was [1:36:14] from this group. They really said [1:36:16] they're really, even with Spanish Fork, [1:36:17] we questioned them a lot. Spanish Fork [1:36:19] is actually going to do some additions [1:36:21] to theirs, but they said there's really [1:36:23] is a big pendup demand for this. Um, but [1:36:27] then the cost of building it and the [1:36:29] land, that's that's a big ask. And then [1:36:32] also UVU is planning on building [1:36:34] something but and I always thought they [1:36:37] wanted to kind of do something with us [1:36:39] but from this group they said they want [1:36:42] to just do it on their own. They don't [1:36:43] want anything to do with the city. So I [1:36:45] think those are a couple of things we [1:36:46] need to look at what UVU is going to do [1:36:48] how we can incorporate them and then get [1:36:50] with the county. The county really [1:36:51] hasn't done anything for us down this [1:36:53] way. You know you got up north and you [1:36:55] got Spanish Fork and it's really time [1:36:57] for us to get something from the hotel [1:36:59] tax. thing things like that we can look [1:37:01] at, but again, we aren't going to come [1:37:03] up with $100 million and and build a [1:37:06] road indoor rodeo arena. [1:37:08] >> There's some things that we [1:37:08] [clears throat] can look at from this [1:37:10] study. I think [1:37:10] >> I' I've been a really big opponent uh [1:37:13] not a Yeah, not an opponent, but uh [1:37:16] somebody that really wants to see this [1:37:17] happen, but this is an extremely big [1:37:20] lift. Unless we have, you know, somebody [1:37:22] that really wants to step forward, who knows? Maybe someday somebody would. [1:37:27] But without that input, I I think we are [1:37:31] on the outside looking in. [1:37:34] >> I think it's important too as we put [1:37:35] this out and discuss that some [1:37:36] opportunities might come up [1:37:38] >> from this this study and someone might [1:37:40] step forward and now we can say, "Hey, [1:37:42] we have we have a we have a road map of [1:37:44] what this is going to cost." [1:37:45] >> It's not wasted money. We learned a lot. [1:37:47] >> Yep. [clears throat] [1:37:50] Yeah. [1:37:51] >> Okay. Any further discussion? I think [1:37:53] there's just for a discussion to bring [1:37:54] us up to speed and if an opportunity [1:37:57] presents itself, then we've got the [1:37:59] ability to jump on it. [1:38:04] Okay. [1:38:06] I think I think that's a good [1:38:08] discussion. Thank you, Anders. [1:38:09] Appreciate you very much. [1:38:10] >> Thanks, Anders. I motion that we [1:38:12] adjourn. [1:38:14] >> Okay. [1:38:15] >> Second. [1:38:16] >> All in favor say [1:38:17] >> I. [1:38:17] Hi. [1:38:18] >> Good. We're ajourned. [1:38:20] >> Thank you. [1:38:21] >> Appreciate.
