11
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:12,000
» Our dear father in heaven, we are
grateful for the opportunity we have to

12
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:17,040

beautiful city that we live in. We're

23
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:10,319
eye over us. And we ask and say these
things in the name of thy son Jesus

24
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:13,319
Christ. Amen.
>> Amen.

25
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,680
» Well, thank you. Okay. Um, we'll go
ahead and move to the first order of

26
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:24,480
business today, which is the approval of
the city council meeting minutes from

27
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:28,239
August 12th, 2026.
I would entertain a motion.

28
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,599
» I'll make a motion to approve council
meeting minutes from August 12th, 2026.

29
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:39,519
» Okay. Motion has been made. I'll second
it. Seconded by Chris. Uh, how do we

30
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,440

31
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,560

00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,879
» Chris,
>> yes. Jim.

33
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:50,000
» Yes.
>> And I vote yes. Also

34
00:02:47,519 --> 00:02:56,000
is unanimous.
This time would like to open the meeting

35
00:02:52,319 --> 00:03:01,040
for public comment on items that are not
included on tonight's agenda.

36
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:05,440
Time is now yours. If you would uh if
you wish to comment, come up to the

37
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:11,800
microphone. Please state your name, use
the microphone, and uh we'll proceed.

38
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:24,879
Hi, I'm Tom Hilton of Smithfield
residence live near Chris. Um, I just

39
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,560
wanted to say thanks to the city
council. Now, I'm going to thank you for

40
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,000
something. I'm not entirely sure how
much you had to do with it, but I want

41
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:37,040
to thank you anyway because I did talk
to Chris about it and he and I had some

42
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:44,720
back and forth. Um, I was really really
worried about the pedestrian traffic uh

43
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:48,879
crossing Highway 91 to go to the Summit
Elementary School and then come home

44
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,920
from it every day. And I went as far as
to suggest to Chris that we might want

45
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,400
to pursue at the state the construction
of an underpass, a pedestrian underpass

46
00:03:54,239 --> 00:04:00,959
there. You know, he was like, "Well, I
don't know. That's kind of a hard

47
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:05,040
thing." But but one way or another, a
really, really good thing happened. And

48
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:10,239
I kind of think I ought to give at least
you, if not everybody, credit for it.

49
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:15,120
Um, the the the school attendance
boundaries have been realigned so that

50
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:19,680
kids don't have to cross Highway 91 to
go to Summon Elementary School. And I

51
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:24,080
can't tell you how relieved I am and I
really, really appreciate it. So, thanks

52
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:28,240
to you, thanks to whoever else was
involved. Now, I'm going to add, you

53
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,560
know, I didn't just come to say thank
you, right? I'm gonna add that the

54
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:37,199
problem hasn't gone away.
Um, we've still we've got the the

55
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:42,479
Central Park on the west side of Highway
91. We've got Forester Acres Park. We

56
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,840
got Smithfield Temple coming on. And who
knows what else will come out. You know,

57
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:51,680
development is proceeding a pace over
there. Um, so I think uh we really

58
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:56,720
really need to look at some way to get
pedestrians back and forth across

59
00:04:53,360 --> 00:05:01,440
Highway 91 safely. Um, that idea of of
of you know the crosswalk of the traffic

60
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:05,280
light, that all helps. But if you've
been there and watched how cars go

61
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:09,440
through there, you know that's not safe.
Somebody's going to get killed there.

62
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:15,680
And I would really rather solve the
problem before a fatality occurs.

63
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,759
So there you go. You want to put that on
the next agenda?

64
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,800
» Thank you very much, Tom.
>> Thanks. Thanks, Tom.

65
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,320
» I should have stated that we open public
comment at 603. So,

66
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:46,320
Caroli Stokes. Um, I have a request.
City Council seems to fall under the

67
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:51,840
week of homecoming week at Sky View and
Wednesday's always their parade.

68
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:56,240
And I was wondering in the future
because I think it's kind of sad that

69
00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:04,319
this is being held the same time the
parade is and if in the future if if the

70
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:10,560
council is, you know, the same week as
the home the homecoming week, could they

71
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:16,960
change it to another week in the month?
And I just wanted to make that

72
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:21,680
suggestion request that um I just think
it's sad that that if people want to

73
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:27,520
come here and then want to go to that
that it makes it hard that in the future

74
00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:31,680
you just you know ch change it to
another Wednesday

75
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:35,039
anyway or tell Sky View to change I
don't know

76
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:41,039
tell Sky View to change it to another
Wednesday but that was my that was my

77
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:44,039
request. Thanks. Thank you Caroline.
>> Thanks.

78
00:06:52,319 --> 00:07:03,039
Any other desired public comment?
Okay. If not, we will close public

79
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:09,440
comment at 6:07 p.m. Move on to agenda
item number three. presentation and

80
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:13,840
discussion with representatives from the
Utah Coalition of Cities and Councils

81
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:20,319
UC3. I understand we have Sarah
Davenport Smith here with us. So,

82
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:24,160
» we allotted for a 10 to 15 minute window
there. So, thank you very much, Sarah.

83
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:28,319
» Time is yours.
>> Right. Thank you so much for allowing me

84
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,960
to come up and speak to you tonight
about the Utah Coalition of Cities and

85
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:39,039
Counties or UC3 as we affectionately
like to call it. Um, should I tell you,

86
00:07:35,919 --> 00:07:44,080
Justin, to Okay, there we go.
All right. Um, today during our

87
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:49,199
legislative sessions, it's not just
about the bills that are being passed.

88
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:55,199
It's about what these bills are doing
collectively to each one of our local

89
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:59,199
governments authority. As you guys have
probably noticed that over the past

90
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:03,680
several years, however long you have
been city council members, you've

91
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:09,199
probably seen bills pass and
requirements come down, unfunded

92
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:15,599
mandates, all that fun stuff. And many
times you're seeing, oh well, I guess we

93
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:20,879
don't get to make this decision exactly
the way that we used to anymore. So

94
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:25,199
that's one of the reasons why U3 UC3
exists.

95
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:30,400
and we just help to help you guys
recognize those shifts that are coming

96
00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:33,839
early instead of after the fact. That's
one of the main things that we that we

97
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:41,839
offer.
Go ahead. Next. So, our team um of

98
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:46,880
course I am I'm the founder managing
director and just so you know I have

99
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:52,800
eight years of city council experience
under my belt and um very very proud of

100
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:58,160
that. So, I know exactly what you guys
go through here on the daily and I thank

101
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:02,800
you for each one of your service. It's a
lot to do and yet it's a it's a

102
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:09,600
wonderful job. I'm so glad I was able to
do it as I'm sure you guys are too.

103
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:14,720
Oops, sorry. Didn't want to do that.
Bernardet Brockman is um Oh, sorry. Uh

104
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:20,800
could you go back one? Thanks. Uh
Bernardet Brockman, she is our our head

105
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:25,600
trainer. Uh she is uh mostly Utah
native, but she has served our Utah

106
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:31,200
National Guard for about 30 years. And
so she has ample leadership experience

107
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:36,959
and also policy development experience,
too. And her her presentation and

108
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:42,560
training skills are just amazing. Uh
Bill Lee um he is our head board adviser

109
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:47,680
and um he has a lot of different
experience business. Um some of you

110
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:53,519
might know him from uh the Utah County
Council. um he was a commissioner there

111
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:57,920
for a few years and so he he brings that
perspective to help make sure that we

112
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:02,640
are um encompassing all the things that
counties will deal with as well. Uh and

113
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:07,680
then Heather Eder who uh has probably
interfaced with uh your staff. I know

114
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:13,600
she did with Justin a little bit. And
she is um a a coach actually by trade,

115
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:19,040
but she loves people and her
communication skills are beyond uh

116
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:24,800
beyond what I can say. And so she just
helps make sure everybody is well taken

117
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:29,760
care of. Okay. Next.
So what do we do?

118
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:34,800
Local authority and governance analysis.
That is a different one. So everybody

119
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,600
has
lobbyists. Most people have lobbyists.

120
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:43,440
Most people belong to associations.
The Utah League of Cities and Towns,

121
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:48,560
fabulous associations. So is the Utah
Association of Counties.

122
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:54,560
We are different in the fact that we
bring something additional to the table,

123
00:10:50,959 --> 00:10:59,200
an added tool that they don't have. And
it's something that we really do feel

124
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:05,600
that you need. And I know as a former
city council person, it was very helpful

125
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:11,600
um realizing this tool and creating it
for cities and counties here in Utah.

126
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:17,839
But again, we analyze not just what the
bill is going to to do structurally, but

127
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:23,640
what it does to your authority, to your
finances, to your operations, to legal

128
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,640
positions.

129
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,920
Again, lobbyists can go ahead and
advocate for positions, but first of

130
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:35,279
all, our local leaders need to know
which position they should have. And

131
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:40,399
especially according to that
constitutional analysis side, it's very

132
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:44,959
important because that is the one oath
that we all swear to uphold our Utah

133
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:50,880
constitution and our federal
constitutions. And actually, they are

134
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:56,160
fabulous tools for analyzing policy. And
if you want to keep local authority,

135
00:11:53,920 --> 00:12:00,480
your constitution is one of the best
tools to help you do that. And it's a

136
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:05,760
very strong foundation to legally
speaking.

137
00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:10,800
Okay. Next.
So, let's get into the details of what

138
00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:15,279
each of those um areas do, what those
services are.

139
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:19,920
The local authority and governance
analysis. Again, this is where where I

140
00:12:18,079 --> 00:12:23,760
talked about those authority shifts,
recognizing where those authority shifts

141
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:29,839
are going to happen.
We examine due process, property rights,

142
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:36,079
delegation, other safeguards, identify
the costs that are coming up, unfunded

143
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:40,720
mandates, revenue implications. How many
know that when we utilize tools like tax

144
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:46,720
increment financing that shifts the
revenue streams a bit?

145
00:12:43,839 --> 00:12:52,320
And so we also help to make sure what
new duties you're going to have um or

146
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:57,680
maybe what you won't have, but also the
procedures, the deadlines that are going

147
00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:03,360
to be proposed. Um and then just try to
help you come up with a um like a

148
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:10,720
checklist or even just a a navigation
sheet of of how you can go ahead and

149
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:13,720
implement these things within the city.
Next,

150
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:26,320
of course, the the advocacy side.
Again, we were able to do this um around

151
00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:33,279
also individual communities priorities
um because we can run those special

152
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:38,240
analyses for you um on certain bills
because there are many times where we

153
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:43,360
have a bill that is passed statewide and
it may

154
00:13:40,079 --> 00:13:49,360
benefit Salt Lake City but maybe not so
much Smithfield or maybe not so much

155
00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:54,480
Saratoga Springs where I'm from. So when
when that happens, because it does and

156
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:59,440
it will continue to happen, when that
happens, we can help you see, okay,

157
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:05,360
here's actually what it's going to do
for Smithfield and here's the positions

158
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:10,000
that we recommend you guys take on this
action. So again, just trying to help

159
00:14:07,839 --> 00:14:15,680
you get out in front of that. And also
if there are recommended changes, we are

160
00:14:13,199 --> 00:14:21,199
ready and able to make those recommended
changes and amendments to those bills.

161
00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:26,959
Okay.
Next. Yep. Implementation decision

162
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:31,839
support. Again, it's not just about what
the new legislation is going to make you

163
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:36,560
do, but we're going to help you be
prepared ahead of time because even when

164
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:41,920
those decisions are made at the state
level, they come down to the city and

165
00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:45,839
the county and the town level and then
your citizens are saying, "Why are you

166
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:50,639
making us do this or why did this
change?" And you get to say a lot,

167
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:56,880
"Well, this was actually a bill that was
passed and we're simply responding to

168
00:14:52,639 --> 00:15:02,480
it." Well, being able to again have this
understanding ahead of time, you guys

169
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:07,279
can prepare already what you're going to
get people prepared for within your

170
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:12,560
city.
And then of course we also help you

171
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:19,199
identify where those local options and
discretion still exist because there are

172
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:24,560
several times where a lot of cities have
given up certain decision-making

173
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:29,839
authority when they didn't have to. It
was just an assumption that was made.

174
00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:37,519
And so again, this is one of the things
that we help you guys do. Okay. Next,

175
00:15:34,959 --> 00:15:42,399
education and training.
We've done uh several webinars and um

176
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:48,000
I'll I'll have you guys look at the
packets in a little bit, but um we

177
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:55,279
create a lot of different materials that
uh are very helpful for people um like

178
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:59,440
this one in particular. Um
navigating regional authority districts,

179
00:15:57,759 --> 00:16:03,600
executive frameworks, and local
government authority. a practical con a

180
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,040
practical constitutional playbook for
Utah local leaders. So, this is

181
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:13,040
something we put out right after the
session. Really took in what um Senate

182
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:17,920
Bill 284 did, which was that the big
land use bill that changed quite a lot.

183
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:22,959
Um now a lot of our land use decisions
are going to be dependent upon water,

184
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:27,920
which you know that's guess makes sense.
We're in a desert.

185
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:33,040
All right. So, we do a lot of different
uh trainings. Um, but mainly what we

186
00:16:30,959 --> 00:16:38,160
want to do is to equip you guys to be
able to ask better questions when things

187
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:43,920
come down the pike. Be able to ask those
questions that really help to defend

188
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:50,519
that local authority position for
yourselves and your citizens.

189
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,519
Okay. Next.

190
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:58,560
So, you you have two basic models of
representation. And there is your very

191
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:05,520
traditional path which um we all are
very very used to. You simply um go down

192
00:17:03,199 --> 00:17:09,760
the the traditional advocacy route. You
have the bill the summary position and

193
00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:15,679
you do your thing at the capital and
then you deal with compliance.

194
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:18,640
Our path uh we look at bills and of
course a lot of the bills that are

195
00:17:16,959 --> 00:17:24,160
coming up. So there's the interim
session happening right now. some bills

196
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:28,880
are being created and talked about and
um so we look at the bill the

197
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:32,640
constitutions we bring in case law which
a lot of people have asked there's a lot

198
00:17:31,679 --> 00:17:36,720
of different views about the
constitution what is your view on it

199
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:42,080
well we use the case law to determine
what that particular view is on our

200
00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:47,440
constitutions and then we look at the
authority shift and that cumulative

201
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:53,039
impact
and when I say cumulative impact

202
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:58,240
It's not just when you look at one
single bill because most of the time

203
00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:02,000
when you have um like a report come from
the League of Cities and Towns, you'll

204
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:05,919
see a list of the bills they support,
those they don't, ones that they're

205
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:10,000
neutral on, and then afterwards you'll
kind of get a report. This is what it

206
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:15,280
is, this is what it's going to do. But
what we have done instead is say okay if

207
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:20,160
we have this group of bills that are
being passed and a lot of them have to

208
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:24,799
do with for example housing housing
policy which includes transportation and

209
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:30,799
water right and so you bring those all
together and say what is happening

210
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:36,160
cumulatively with all of these what is
what is going to happen at the local

211
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:41,440
level that's where we found this
authority shift taking place and a lot

212
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:46,559
more decision-making authority is being
shifted to the state and away from our

213
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:52,799
local governments. And so that's one of
the things that we're helping everybody

214
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:56,919
to become aware of and you know you can
do something about it.

215
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:05,600
Okay. Next,
for those of you who are visual, this is

216
00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:12,880
visual. This is our methodology. Again,
um we start with our constitutions and

217
00:19:09,679 --> 00:19:18,320
case law and then we start bringing in
the the local government authority test.

218
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:23,600
You know, what is this what is this
proposed policy going to do to

219
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:28,960
decision-making authority? Is it getting
closer to the people or is it getting

220
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:32,400
further away from the people? Simple
question, good principle, and it's a

221
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:37,120
great way to analyze what a policy
actually does. And then of course

222
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:42,400
there's the practical application. You
know what what is this actually going to

223
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:49,600
take to implement uh fiscally what
changes are going to happen? Um again we

224
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:54,480
think that having this methodology in
your toolbox results in clearer

225
00:19:51,600 --> 00:20:00,080
decisions, stronger communities and
better governance for you guys.

226
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:06,720
Next.
Okay. So, two ways to engage with UC3.

227
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:11,039
We offer a citizen membership and it's
totally free. We do our public

228
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:15,120
newsletters, which there is an example
of the newsletter in your guys's packets

229
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:19,120
that I left for you. Um, there are some
select public webinars that we just

230
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:23,280
offer to everybody, and then any
discounted training rates, and it's, you

231
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:27,600
know, that's for anybody, citizens or
leaders who are just interested in

232
00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:32,480
following this kind of constitutional
governance

233
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:38,480
um idea. at the municipal membership
level. Again, there's more of that that

234
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:43,840
full advocacy uh package that we do
offer, but more importantly, it's that

235
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:48,240
detailed analysis. It's helping you to
come up with a game plan of okay, this

236
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:53,760
is what it's going to look like when
this passes or now that it's passed, now

237
00:20:50,400 --> 00:21:02,640
this is what we have to do. Um
we also have um attorney access uh as

238
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:10,000
well. We contract uh with a particular
firm who is very familiar with um local

239
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:16,400
governments and again more exclusive
trainings, webinars, conferences that we

240
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:22,760
offer. So um you know one membership
will keep you informed and the other one

241
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,760
gives you a seat at the table.

242
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:30,640
Next.
So again, at the end of the day, it's

243
00:21:28,159 --> 00:21:34,960
not just a it's not just a service
decision. It's more of a question of

244
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:42,080
what kind of guidance are you looking
for? Is is this a kind of tool u that

245
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:46,640
you're needing to add to your toolbox?
If you want help understanding not only

246
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:52,880
what legislation is going to require you
to do, but also how your authority is

247
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:58,360
going to change, then that's where we
come in.

248
00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:58,360
Okay. Next,

249
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:06,320
the 2025 and 2026 sessions really showed
us something important. Um, it's not

250
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:11,200
just about the policies that are being
passed, but it's about who are going to

251
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:15,039
be making the decisions behind those
policies. Now,

252
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:22,640
of course, we can do what traditional
advocacy firms do, but it's more about

253
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:28,000
what UC3 adds to this picture. It's
different. And again, we exist to help

254
00:22:25,919 --> 00:22:35,360
keep decision-making authority as close
to local governments as possible.

255
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:41,280
And that's it. And if you want to take
out your your packets, I've given you

256
00:22:37,919 --> 00:22:45,440
guys um several pieces of information.
Didn't want to overwhelm you, but I

257
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:53,520
wanted to show you a little bit about
what we what we do offer. Um there's a

258
00:22:50,640 --> 00:23:01,440
let's see on the left side
you'll see um this first one it's a

259
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:06,880
really nice breakdown of why why us what
do we add what's different um there's

260
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:12,799
some other basic information on uh the
left side about who we are and what we

261
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:18,320
do and then on the right side I've made
sure that you guys have one of our um

262
00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:24,080
more recent newsletters that was from
earlier um in the spring. I think we did

263
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:28,960
it in May and that was in response to
the AI data center issue which still

264
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:35,280
seems to be a pretty hot topic around
here and elsewhere. And um and then also

265
00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:39,360
our legislative wrap-up report from the
session. And so you'll see I go into a

266
00:23:37,919 --> 00:23:45,760
little bit more detail about what the
cumulative effect is and all that good

267
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:50,039
stuff. So um do you have any questions?
I know we're out of time.

268
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:58,000
» I just like the fact that you guys are
taking the Constitution

269
00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:02,480
um you know as as a part of the the lens
through how we're looking at this.

270
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:06,960
» Um I think that's something that's easy
to forget or get lost especially when

271
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:11,120
there's so many bills that that come
through.

272
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:18,159
» Yeah, it is. And like I said, it's a
really practical tool. Um, I've been

273
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:23,440
super super super excited about using it
and I think a lot of people especially

274
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:27,360
our legislators are recognizing and they
really appreciate the fact that we bring

275
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:32,000
this up like saying well we actually did
a constitutional analysis and it is

276
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:36,960
something they used to do at the capital
on all the bills um but they've they've

277
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:41,919
chosen not to do that. So anyways again
it's uh it's another service that we

278
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:47,600
also provide for them as well. we make
sure they get a a weekly um

279
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:52,799
impact report essentially on the key
bills that we're following and um how

280
00:24:50,159 --> 00:24:56,799
those bills are stacking up and the even
the amendments that we recommend in

281
00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:01,440
order to bring those back into
compliance. So,

282
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:08,240
» so having said that, what is your
perception over the last few years of

283
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:14,400
how these in general these bills look?
Do they do they tend to follow the

284
00:25:10,799 --> 00:25:19,360
constitution or are they wildly in
different directions because people want

285
00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:24,320
them to go those directions?
>> Well, actually you would be happy to

286
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:29,120
know that there have been over the past
few sessions there have been only only a

287
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:35,039
handful that have been like absolutely
red line no we cannot do this. Most of

288
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:38,799
them are yellow and I like to use
stoplight colors. So, you know, green

289
00:25:37,039 --> 00:25:42,960
is, you know, thumbs up. Yellow is
caution, which always means amendment.

290
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:49,279
Most of the bills reside in that yellow
area where some of it's okay, but

291
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:54,080
there's some of it that needs to be
changed. And and you know what? That's

292
00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:01,559
fine because that's what the session is
all about. Unfortunately, we only have

293
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:01,559
45 days to do it. So, it's really fast.

294
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,279
Are your thoughts and concerns taken
into consideration during the session

295
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:12,000
when you approach them with your
recommendations? Do they consider

296
00:26:09,919 --> 00:26:15,840
» some of them doations? Yes. Yes.
Actually, there have been I've been very

297
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:20,720
happy to note that there have been
several that um even one of the bills

298
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:26,880
that just got stopped because I said
this is not going to work and I showed

299
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:32,640
you why. And um that was that was very
good to note. Um some of the things that

300
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:37,600
have been a little uh more challenging
have been a lot of the housing bills um

301
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:42,960
that we have been commenting on and
analyzing

302
00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:49,279
because uh there's such a a big push to
have a certain um amount of housing go

303
00:26:45,919 --> 00:26:52,640
in statewide as quickly as possible. And
we also have the Olympics coming up too.

304
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:58,240
And so there's a lot of push to get
certain things especially transit

305
00:26:54,480 --> 00:27:04,240
oriented development in. And so when you
when you have that coming up, you you

306
00:27:00,559 --> 00:27:09,200
get a a little bit of a a push back when
it comes to trying to keep, you know,

307
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:16,000
more of the decisions like that local.
But we stand very firmly on our article

308
00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:20,960
11 of our constitution where our cities
are granted. Even though you're still a

309
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:24,400
general government city, you're still
granted special authority when it comes

310
00:27:22,799 --> 00:27:30,320
to your communities, when it comes to
planning for communities and such. So,

311
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:33,120
it's different than counties.
>> Great.

312
00:27:31,279 --> 00:27:41,760
» One other quick question. Have you seen
any um yellow u in regards to special

313
00:27:39,039 --> 00:27:48,640
authority districts, things like that?
>> Yes.

314
00:27:44,159 --> 00:27:54,320
» Yes. Um in fact well we weren't here
when um some of the authority districts

315
00:27:51,679 --> 00:28:01,200
quite a few of them went in but as more
have gone in um we have we've done a lot

316
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:08,880
of analysis on it and made a lot of
suggestions um for some roll backs with

317
00:28:05,279 --> 00:28:13,600
that and I I do think you know I mean AI
data centers whatever you think about

318
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:19,039
them the good news is is it's brought
that idea actually to the top the idea

319
00:28:16,399 --> 00:28:24,080
of what are these authority districts?
What's behind them? Is it right that

320
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:28,320
they should have this kind of authority
and um you know and there are now

321
00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:33,440
lawsuits that are happening right now
just because of that. So it is good that

322
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:38,720
the question is being asked because um
it's according to our analysis it's very

323
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:42,399
clear in the constitution these should
not have happened uh the way they

324
00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:46,720
happened in the first place. And in
fact, if you want to read about that, it

325
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:51,360
is in that newsletter. So there's more
information.

326
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:55,840
» Kind of interested in your funding model
or your organization. Uh where your

327
00:28:54,080 --> 00:29:00,399
revenue comes from? Oh yeah. Where your
expenses are going? Are you taxpayer

328
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:06,480
funded in any way or is this strictly
through dues with cities or uh are any

329
00:29:03,919 --> 00:29:11,200
of your expenses? Certainly there's
personnel expenses. Uh are are you

330
00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:16,880
supporting any candidates financially?
Um in any ways. I'm just curious about

331
00:29:13,679 --> 00:29:21,840
kind of your approach to funding and
running your organization.

332
00:29:18,159 --> 00:29:27,679
» Sure. Um so in your packets there is a
nice flyer uh that has the information

333
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:34,240
about how um how the due structure
works. So that is the primary method of

334
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:40,240
how we're funded is from dues from
clients uh from members. And uh no, we

335
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:45,120
don't have a we don't have a pack. Um so
we're we're not uh invested in elections

336
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:53,039
or anything like that. And we're not
publicly funded either. So this is this

337
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:58,559
is private, but um yeah, it well
membership dues I guess those those are

338
00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:04,960
public. So, so yes, uh there is that,
but um it's it's more of just a a

339
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:11,520
membership association to so you guys
know that this is your funds and so you

340
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:14,320
have the biggest say of what happens in
this association. We wanted to keep it

341
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:18,039
clean that way.
>> Very good. Thank you.

342
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:26,399
» Any other questions,
>> Sarah? Thank you so much for for coming.

343
00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:27,919
wonderful presentation and appreciate
the packets and

344
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,279
» yeah,
>> thank you so much.

345
00:30:28,799 --> 00:30:33,840
» Yes,
>> we definitely appreciate your pro your

346
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:37,279
approach to this. It's
>> I shouldn't say that it's unique, but it

347
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,880
is. I mean, that should be something
that we should be doing already in my

348
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:45,840
opinion, but yeah.
>> Yeah. Well, I'm happy to help you guys.

349
00:30:43,679 --> 00:30:53,679
Feel free to reach out anytime.
>> Thank you. Keep up the good work.

350
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:59,039
Okay, we'll proceed on to item number
four, discussion and possible vote on

351
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:03,440
ordinance 2026-13,
an ordinance amending the Smithfield

352
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:11,919
City Municipal Code Title 17, zoning
regulations, chapter 17.92, Accessory

353
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:19,760
Dwelling Unit, section 1792.101,
purpose and chapter 17.92.2

354
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:28,000
conditions 17.92.30 30 application
procedures and chapter 17.120

355
00:31:23,919 --> 00:31:34,240
use matrix table section 17121.010
10 using

356
00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:38,399
excuse me use all allowance matrix and
with that we'll turn the time over to

357
00:31:36,159 --> 00:31:46,559
Brian.
Thanks. So we're doing two major things

358
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:55,200
here. One changing the code and one is
altering the use allowance matrix.

359
00:31:51,600 --> 00:32:01,679
So last year's session, the state
session made some minor changes. I'd say

360
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:08,240
minor based on what we were doing, but
major compared to what other cities and

361
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:13,120
states or cities were doing for detached
uh dwelling units. So there are a few

362
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:19,039
things that we made some changes to and
I'll go through those right now. So the

363
00:32:15,919 --> 00:32:25,760
first thing is they now allow
certificate of occupancy for any new

364
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:30,880
detached dwelling unit.
We put the text in there. In all

365
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:38,640
technicality, the county takes care of
our building inspections and they

366
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:44,159
already issue a CFO for any new dwelling
unit.

367
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:49,360
Uh the next two changes are basically
new links to the state code. What

368
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:55,440
happened is
they used to have the entire portion of

369
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:59,720
LDMA or the land use portion of the
state code in 109.

370
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:09,760
They've revamped the whole thing
completely and moved it to 1021. And so

371
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:15,519
we've had to just update the links we
already had and therefore internal and

372
00:33:12,159 --> 00:33:20,519
detached just to make it match the state
code where the big move took place.

373
00:33:21,519 --> 00:33:24,519
Okay.

374
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:34,000
All right. We did add in that same
section, we added a sentence

375
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:38,240
that said that we wanted to specify that
internal

376
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:46,559
um accessory dwelling units were allowed
in the MPC. We know that the MPC has a

377
00:33:42,159 --> 00:33:54,720
large array of sizes of lots
and in even in most of those they tend

378
00:33:51,200 --> 00:34:00,880
to be smaller, some bigger than others,
but detached

379
00:33:57,519 --> 00:34:07,360
dwelling units are very very difficult.
So they're not not allowed.

380
00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:11,919
However, we wanted to make sure that the
verbiage was clear that internal

381
00:34:09,359 --> 00:34:18,240
accessory units were definitely allowed
in those homes because they can build it

382
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:23,560
in their house. And we just wanted to
clarify that for people that had been

383
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,560
asking

384
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,760
1792030.

385
00:34:27,919 --> 00:34:36,960
We actually altered the words and we
added the words accessory dwelling unit

386
00:34:33,839 --> 00:34:44,240
and removed the words conditional use
permit. We did that because the new

387
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:51,679
state code says that no city is allowed
to use a conditional use permit for any

388
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:56,159
type of a dwelling unit.
They can use business licenses. They can

389
00:34:54,159 --> 00:35:02,720
use applications.
they cannot use conditional use permits

390
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:08,720
that can add conditions to that dwelling
mix.

391
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:16,160
The second change was just some minor
word changes that allows

392
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:20,320
the the sentence to be more clear on how
and when.

393
00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:27,599
And lastly,
when we took a t took a look at the

394
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:33,359
allowance matrix, we actually had
two lines that were essentially the same

395
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:38,960
thing that discussed accessory dwelling
units and then one line that called it a

396
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:42,720
residential unit.
So,

397
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:47,119
what we did,
since we haven't fixed this in a long,

398
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:51,119
long time, we just decided to fix it
while we were here. Essentially, we're

399
00:35:49,359 --> 00:35:57,760
getting rid of the line that says
accessory residential unit

400
00:35:54,400 --> 00:36:03,119
because it's redundant multiple times.
And we made sure that we have and then

401
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:07,520
we took the other two that were
basically a different wording of the

402
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:12,000
same thing and we combined them into
one.

403
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:16,880
showing where the dwelling unit is
allowed,

404
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:23,920
if that makes sense.
So, you've got detached and internal.

405
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:29,280
It's all one word there or one term on
the allowance matrix line.

406
00:36:27,119 --> 00:36:33,520
So, those are the changes we made. Any
questions?

407
00:36:31,839 --> 00:36:39,520
Did it was approved by the planning
commission. I always forget that.

408
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:43,280
Always. I just had one question and I
think it's just a matter of

409
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:47,040
clarification on 92.02
uh B.

410
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:53,920
You've got all of that highlighted
there. It's regarding the maybe uh let's

411
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:58,480
see right scroll down or scroll up a
little more.

412
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,560
Oh, sorry. Wrong direction. Scroll the
other up. There you go.

413
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:05,280
» Oh,
>> my bad. Keep going. Right there. uh that

414
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:10,240
be
um the any detached over 650 is that

415
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:14,640
new?
Okay. The one part is new and and I'm

416
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,760
glad you're asking this is I wasn't sure
if it was new or great clarification

417
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:24,960
» adding the
>> before the state said you can't have

418
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:32,640
more than one
additional stall requested or required

419
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:36,880
for any unit.
In the new legislation, they came out

420
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:44,160
and said, in fact, I believe they're the
ones that came up with the 650 foot

421
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:50,240
rule, and they allow cities to request
two stalls

422
00:37:46,079 --> 00:37:57,200
for a larger detached unit.
And so, it really

423
00:37:53,599 --> 00:38:02,079
it really only goes towards detached
units that are larger.

424
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:07,839
In any other case, whether it's smaller,
internal, detached, if it's smaller than

425
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:12,640
650, we still have the requirement to
add one

426
00:38:09,839 --> 00:38:18,800
one additional stall. So, we just did
change it for two stalls if it's above

427
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:25,599
650. That's almost something we pulled
word for word from that state code.

428
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:31,599
It makes sense to where you have more
people. If it's a larger detached unit

429
00:38:29,119 --> 00:38:35,599
there, there's a greater possibility for
more vehicular use. So, we're mandating

430
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:39,680
two on the larger.
>> Okay,

431
00:38:37,839 --> 00:38:45,359
great.
Okay. uh at this time open it up for is

432
00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:50,880
there first of all is there any public
discussion on oh sorry

433
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:55,280
not necessary but is there any other
discussion within the

434
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:58,960
» I had a couple questions um
>> that I'm just kind of trying to learn

435
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:03,599
here I noticed absolutely
>> uh so we've got um

436
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:07,920
» when I was kind of looking through this
and I I did go look at the state code

437
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:12,960
and they and they talk about internal
like what you were mentioning and then

438
00:39:10,079 --> 00:39:18,400
detached. But I noticed that in a lot of
our verbiage we say attached instead of

439
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:23,599
internal.
Is there a reason for that? And could

440
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:30,000
that be construed slightly different
than internal? For example, if someone

441
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:34,160
decided they were going to create an
addition onto their house and it's

442
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:38,560
attached to their house.
>> Is that why we're using attached?

443
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,839
Because we want to allow that. That's
why we're using it.

444
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:44,400
» Okay.
>> The state does require us to allow it.

445
00:39:43,599 --> 00:39:51,280
» Okay.
>> So, they require any type of

446
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:57,599
the way that they use it is internal for
a home. In all technicality, if you

447
00:39:54,960 --> 00:40:01,520
build an addition to a home and make
that an accessory part and you meet all

448
00:39:59,839 --> 00:40:11,119
of the requirements for the building
code, it's still considered internal.

449
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:16,079
And we found it better to use the word
attached.

450
00:40:13,359 --> 00:40:20,800
And then the internal is actually in
different parts of the code and the

451
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:26,480
building code really specifies that out.
So when they inspect it, regardless

452
00:40:23,359 --> 00:40:32,880
whether it's an attachment, uh,
detached, an apartment, that building

453
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:34,560
code really differentiates. And so,
>> yeah,

454
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,599
» that was one thing we just
>> That's great. Yeah. And I'm completely

455
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:41,839
okay with that. I just was kind of
trying to clarify if, you know, if there

456
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:45,599
was a specific reason for that. The
other question is, um, what's the

457
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:51,359
difference between an accessory
apartment and an accessory dwelling

458
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:53,359
unit? Is there something specifically
different about that or is that

459
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:59,359
» Nope.
>> Just an older verbiage? Do we want

460
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,640
» Do we want to update our code to be
consistent?

461
00:40:59,839 --> 00:41:02,400
» Be consistent.
>> So that's what we're that's what we're

462
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,960
doing.
>> Okay. So because we still have it like

463
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:10,800
in C right there. It's still all over.
>> So

464
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:17,920
» twice in there.
>> I put I I It's not in this ordinance.

465
00:41:15,119 --> 00:41:22,240
However, I made an image that made it a
little easier to see. and I showed it at

466
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:27,359
the commission.
What you're seeing here is accessory

467
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:31,520
apartment and accessory
residential unit

468
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:37,119
» and
I believe that there is an accessory

469
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:43,760
building. There's three. Okay. In all
technicality, we need two. We need one

470
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:50,000
that's an accessory dwelling unit and
one that's an accessory building.

471
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:56,480
» Okay. A long time ago, they just called
them residential units, but for about

472
00:41:52,960 --> 00:42:02,720
the last decade, both state and a lot of
cities have started referring to them as

473
00:41:59,119 --> 00:42:06,720
ADUs or accessory dwelling units.
>> Yeah,

474
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:12,480
» we're just following the basic
nomenclature that everybody's using. I

475
00:42:10,319 --> 00:42:15,440
guess in 20 years if they start calling
them residential units, we could change

476
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:20,720
it back.
>> Yeah. So it doesn't matter that much,

477
00:42:17,839 --> 00:42:25,599
but we wanted to be consistent. So
that's why we're trimming it down,

478
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:30,880
changing the name to a proper name that
everybody uses so that they understand

479
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:36,079
because if they read this and they go
read some article

480
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:40,720
» from the newspaper about state code,
then they have more questions and it

481
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:47,200
makes it more confusing.
>> Yeah. Yeah. So, I guess getting back to

482
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:51,240
my question, I noticed um in
uh 17.92.030

483
00:42:51,359 --> 00:42:58,800
um C and it talks about accessory
apartments. Do we want to change that

484
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,720
verbiage?
>> Yeah, we can.

485
00:42:59,839 --> 00:43:05,280
» Okay,
>> that's great. And then and then maybe

486
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:12,000
remove And then if you have that
completely removed, you could remove the

487
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:15,440
the um use matrix down below as well,
right? And remove the accessory

488
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:20,079
apartment from that.
>> Yeah. Well, so that's what we're doing

489
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:26,480
in the proposed. We're removing the word
apartment, but that that's that is a

490
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:32,079
good idea. We can
>> we can say accessory dwelling

491
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:35,040
» unit rather than apartment.
>> Okay.

492
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,640
» And and it just it's great. It just
keeps

493
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:41,440
» good for consistency
>> the consistency of the words. So yeah.

494
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:47,000
» Yep. Yep.
>> Cool.

495
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:47,000
» One thing that I noticed under

496
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:58,040
» the conditions
>> I just keep thinking.

497
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:58,040
Sorry, it's uh 17920

498
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:05,280
where it says um you can have a
temporary absence of three years for

499
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:09,040
this the particular things it says
temporary job assignment, sbatical and

500
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:12,560
voluntary service. Does military fall
into any of those or is that something

501
00:44:10,319 --> 00:44:20,040
that we feel like we should add?
>> I believe

502
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:20,040
the purpose was there. I don't remember.

503
00:44:21,359 --> 00:44:28,160
» I think it's vague enough that
>> I think it I think it just I think the

504
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:34,640
way we word it just covers that.
>> I don't ever and to be honest, there's

505
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:40,720
only one time in six years that someone
asked. They went on a church mission

506
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:46,560
» and that's the only time they've ever
asked. And it really wasn't a hard no

507
00:44:43,359 --> 00:44:49,040
because their son took over the main
unit they were living in.

508
00:44:47,599 --> 00:44:52,040
» So technically was occupied.
>> Yeah.

509
00:44:54,240 --> 00:45:00,480
» Yep. Yeah.
>> That's what I figured, but I don't know

510
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:05,040
if we needed to be more specific or not.
>> And then I did have one other just

511
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:12,960
question and this would just be kind of,
you know, have we thought about this? Um

512
00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:19,520
but uh Utah permits m municipalities to
prohibit rentals under 30 days and adus

513
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:23,440
under 90 days.
>> Um that the Utah code basically says

514
00:45:22,319 --> 00:45:27,839
that we can
>> is that something that we want to detail

515
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:33,280
in here? Is that something we care
about? What that would that would

516
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:37,839
eliminate was and I don't care one way
or another but if we're thinking about

517
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:42,079
it maybe we need to make a decision uh
whether they could use that as an Airbnb

518
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,839
or a VBO you know
>> we have thought about that

519
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:48,640
» okay
>> and I'll tell you and I'll give you the

520
00:45:45,599 --> 00:45:53,520
explanation so
in the past

521
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:58,480
there are some cities especially larger
ones and cities that utilize tourism a

522
00:45:56,720 --> 00:46:03,520
lot
that require specific

523
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:10,240
applications,
payments,

524
00:46:05,119 --> 00:46:14,000
andor business licenses for Airbnbs.
Um,

525
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:20,000
the past three councils, we've
definitely had this discussion quite a

526
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:24,560
few times. In essence, and I don't I'll
just explain a little bit so that it

527
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:31,599
makes sense.
When you create a shortterm rental,

528
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:38,079
in order to be able to use it or utilize
it or even make money, you have to

529
00:46:34,319 --> 00:46:45,520
attach yourself to one of the companies
that put your apartment out there and

530
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:51,839
they do the marketing for you. And these
companies are very strict in what they

531
00:46:47,599 --> 00:46:57,920
require, what they allow. They they
actually allow people to um it's like

532
00:46:55,200 --> 00:47:05,520
Google where you can put your level of
service that you feel like you received

533
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:10,720
and everyone can do that. So after a lot
of years of discussing this, we didn't

534
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:16,000
feel a need to have any kind of a
requirement

535
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:24,240
whether they're in a detached uh uh
internal or the the whole home because

536
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:30,400
and and it's held up so far because
those companies require so much that if

537
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:35,680
they don't keep that up, they don't make
any money and they have to use it as a

538
00:47:32,319 --> 00:47:42,480
normal residents anyway. So that's why
we haven't really implored more use for

539
00:47:40,079 --> 00:47:49,280
short-term rental.
There are some smaller cities that have

540
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:54,000
and talking to the planners, it just
seems more of an inconvenience

541
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:59,680
because they always the short-term
rental properties, they keep it up

542
00:47:56,079 --> 00:48:04,240
better than even normal renters,
long-term renters. So

543
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:08,400
» yeah. us. Great. I just wasn't sure, you
know, if we were specifically thinking

544
00:48:06,319 --> 00:48:13,079
about it or not. I'm cool either way.
Yeah. So, yeah. Okay. Thank you.

545
00:48:14,319 --> 00:48:22,200
» Any other discussion on this?
>> If not, I'll entertain a motion.

546
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:35,440
I'll make a motion that we adopt these
changes to ordinance 2026-13 with the

547
00:48:33,359 --> 00:48:38,800
addition of
changing

548
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:43,040
accessory apartment to accessory
dwelling unit in that one spot.

549
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:46,280
» 1792.
>> Thank you.

550
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:52,720
Uh I I make a motion that we adopt this
as

551
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:58,240
presented as amended.
>> I will second. Okay. Have a motion. It's

552
00:48:55,359 --> 00:48:59,839
been seconded. How do we vote? Jay,
>> yes.

553
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,599
» John,
>> yes.

554
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:03,200
» Chris,
>> yes.

555
00:49:02,559 --> 00:49:08,680
» Jen,
>> yes.

556
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:08,680
» I vote yes. Also passes.

557
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:16,160
Great. Moving on to agenda item number
five. Uh, discussion and update on the

558
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:21,920
Smithfield City Historic Museum
renovation project. Uh, take just a m

559
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:26,720
just real quick. Were we supposed to
open it up for public comment on that? I

560
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:29,720
don't know if we needed to or not.
>> Okay.

561
00:49:30,559 --> 00:49:35,760
» Oh, yeah. That's right. Yep. Sorry. I'm
used to being at the planning

562
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:40,480
commission, so that's why I was thinking
of that. So, thank you.

563
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:45,200
» Okay. Have a discussion and update on
Smithfield City Historic Museum

564
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:51,359
renovation project. Uh we'll hear from
Jeff Gitens and uh may also have some

565
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:56,040
additional details come from Justin. So
Jeff,

566
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,040
welcome.

567
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:06,800
» Thank you. Good evening, everyone.
Glad to be here and grateful for your

568
00:50:04,079 --> 00:50:11,599
listening here. I've just been asked to
come and basically answer any questions

569
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:16,240
you have about where we're at.
Yes, I can do that. I can eat it if you

570
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:20,400
want.
So, I've just basically been asked to be

571
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:25,680
here to answer any questions you have
about where we're at and what we're

572
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:31,280
doing. But what we're trying to do is
get the upstairs done. We need the

573
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:38,160
display room desperately.
And uh I think we made some really good

574
00:50:33,839 --> 00:50:44,720
progress in recent months and uh we've
had a lot of pleased people come. The

575
00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:49,359
thing we are most pleased for
is how engaged the people are that come

576
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:53,440
to see it. They're involved. They come
with purpose and reason. And most of

577
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:59,680
them,
excuse me, most of them come with

578
00:50:56,319 --> 00:51:04,880
pictures, relics, family histories, and
things in their hands saying, "I'm the

579
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:08,800
end of the line or it's my
responsibility. I want this to be seen.

580
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:13,680
I don't want it thrown away by my
children or my grandchildren. And uh

581
00:51:11,839 --> 00:51:17,520
it's good people have that perspective.
It really is. We've received some

582
00:51:15,839 --> 00:51:23,359
marvelous things, some interesting
things. Uh just real quickly, let me

583
00:51:20,720 --> 00:51:30,079
tell you a couple things that's happened
regarding the upstairs.

584
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:35,520
We did receive a CLG grant, as most of
you know, for 20,000. That is the

585
00:51:32,559 --> 00:51:40,640
maximum that's allowed. And quite
frankly, I'm a little surprised. But the

586
00:51:37,599 --> 00:51:48,240
way that happened is we had Jansen
Bennett. um he is the state architect

587
00:51:45,599 --> 00:51:54,240
and he came up and has looked at it with
Justin I just recently yesterday

588
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:58,800
and u
he and Chris Hansen

589
00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:04,400
who was with the
Shipo State History Preservation Office

590
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:09,520
and they asked us questions about it
after they looked at it and they seemed

591
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:14,559
pretty satisfied with the answers we
gave

592
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:20,559
But um yeah, we need that done before we
can do really anything else because we

593
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:28,720
required to where it's a public building
to be able to get everyone to that area.

594
00:52:25,119 --> 00:52:33,200
And uh we've decided to put it in the
east opening upstairs. Those of you

595
00:52:30,559 --> 00:52:38,960
who've been up there, the east opening
that will require us to cut through that

596
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:44,240
twoft wall. The east wall is 2 feet
thick. The other three walls are three

597
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:49,920
feet thick. And so, uh, they'll have to
cut it basically from both sides. We had

598
00:52:47,359 --> 00:52:55,680
Cash Valley Concrete cutting come and
they were happy to do it. They said they

599
00:52:52,400 --> 00:53:00,800
would give us about a $500 reduction
where it's here in the community as

600
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:07,359
their gift. It's going to cost us around
$4,500 to $5,000.

601
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:11,839
Uh but the good news is that the door
frame that's there is actually high

602
00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:17,520
enough for the lift to to raise it right
to that that level is where it would

603
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:23,119
need to be to
for the lift to raise high enough for

604
00:53:19,839 --> 00:53:29,040
people to get out. We will need to cut a
foot to 18 inches off the down to the

605
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:33,520
floor so it's floor level. It will be a
freestanding structure. It will we'll

606
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:38,800
have the cutter also. We've talked to
them. They'll cut for us when they do do

607
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:44,240
this. They'll cut
for the actual tower itself, four places

608
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:49,040
in the concrete where we can anchor it
down very sturdy. So, it's a

609
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:53,359
freestanding structure
and uh

610
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:57,359
it we will enter it from the east. So,
any ramp that would be needed would be

611
00:53:55,440 --> 00:54:03,760
very minimal, just enough to get up to
the floor of the lift. probably I'm

612
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:11,520
guessing about two to four inches so we
wouldn't have to go out and uh

613
00:54:08,079 --> 00:54:17,359
so we had Jansen and Chris come and they
were great help they're very very

614
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:24,000
professional these are the CLG grant as
you know might know are

615
00:54:21,119 --> 00:54:28,240
national park funds administered by the
state

616
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:32,720
and so they told us the procedure what
we would have have to go through to

617
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:37,119
access that money. It's fairly simple.
They would drop a contract saying we

618
00:54:34,720 --> 00:54:42,240
will do this, this, and this before we
receive to money. We will sign it, get

619
00:54:39,599 --> 00:54:45,280
it back to them, and it's fairly simple
procedure.

620
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:49,520
So,
that's been done. Um, we're happy with

621
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:55,040
that.
Uh, we also got the wraps tax for

622
00:54:52,079 --> 00:55:02,480
40,000. So, we have 60,000
towards the the lift. Now, the tough

623
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:05,760
news is it's going to cost around 69,000
plus.

624
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:11,040
We're going to have to come up with a
little money on our own.

625
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:18,400
I feel that we can raise some money in
the future and my pledge to you is I

626
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:25,040
will continue to do the very best I can.
I pledge that to you as council to raise

627
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:29,359
the funds, as many of the funds as we
can.

628
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:32,599
What I have found is if we get people in
the museum

629
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:41,280
that have an interest in it,
they volunteer money, believe it or not.

630
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:46,640
And we had such a case.
Two people came up from Earl Harper's

631
00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:50,960
family.
She was a great niece and she brought

632
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:58,559
pictures
antique oval framed colorized pictures

633
00:55:55,200 --> 00:56:02,400
and uh they brought Earl Harper's camera
that he took on his mission. At one

634
00:56:00,799 --> 00:56:07,119
point I didn't know he went on a mission
to England before he went to World War

635
00:56:05,119 --> 00:56:12,240
I.
They brought stories

636
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:16,960
and Lyn and I were able to interview her
one night.

637
00:56:14,079 --> 00:56:22,640
It was very interesting. her husband got
out his checkbook and wrote out a check

638
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:29,040
for $1,000 while he was there.
Just like that. And we received another

639
00:56:25,839 --> 00:56:33,440
little donation yesterday of $500. I
don't tell people what they should

640
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:39,200
donate because they have to want to do
it. And uh everything is I tell them

641
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:44,799
everything is appreciated. But we just
have some wonderful people

642
00:56:42,559 --> 00:56:52,240
uh and wonderful gifts that have come
our way. Uh we have a facial recognition

643
00:56:49,119 --> 00:56:58,799
system subs subscription
that Eric Bean Bingham knew the people

644
00:56:55,839 --> 00:57:03,680
who do this and they've given us a a
free subscription for facial

645
00:57:01,119 --> 00:57:09,920
recognition. that required us to get a
new email because they the facial

646
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:13,280
recognition people are very conscious of
personal data

647
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:19,280
» and so they won't send it to a personal
email so it will be sent to Justin

648
00:57:16,079 --> 00:57:25,920
helped me set up an a separate email
with the city so that we can accommodate

649
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:31,119
that and Eric is excited to get started
on that. The benefit of that is all of

650
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:36,799
the school pictures, all the public
pictures where we have names and we can

651
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:42,559
document it, but there's always question
marks. We don't know some people always

652
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:49,599
in especially the older the picture. But
with this facial recognition program, we

653
00:57:45,359 --> 00:57:55,359
create a data data file and that will
link that and be able to identify people

654
00:57:52,799 --> 00:58:01,119
that we can't identify.
And for sure, but they can and it it's

655
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:06,960
really fascinating.
But that's come our way free gratus

656
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:14,240
thanks to Eric Bingham and he's excited
to get started on it.

657
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:18,240
Um we're looking at creating new uh
interactive

658
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:22,400
displays especially to involve our
youth. That's one of the most rewarding

659
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:27,760
things I have is to watch the youth get
involved and that's really fun. I mean,

660
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:32,240
they're the youth are really excited
about it. And uh

661
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:40,280
so
Linda is working on

662
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:40,280
some Smithfield Main Street building

663
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:49,920
interactive displays.
and Whitney Love Day is working on uh

664
00:58:47,599 --> 00:58:56,400
some televised something that we can
televise a video screen that we can put

665
00:58:52,640 --> 00:59:01,040
a CD in or other information and let
people watch things and we have quite a

666
00:58:58,079 --> 00:59:05,839
bit believe it or not to watch. There
have been interviews done of a lot of

667
00:59:04,079 --> 00:59:12,720
the older members of the community from
way back and I think people will

668
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:19,839
appreciate that. I I will spearhead a
new display on the south wall as you

669
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:23,760
walk through the ADA entrance about the
original settlers that came to

670
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:28,480
Smithfield, why they came here, where
they came from, what country they came

671
00:59:25,359 --> 00:59:33,680
from, what brought them here. And it's
uh

672
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:40,559
it's fascinating to learn these things
where they came from what you know and

673
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:48,640
it's anyway I think that will be fun for
people of course we it'll help people

674
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:53,839
identify their their um ancestors or
family members that came here

675
00:59:51,520 --> 01:00:01,040
and uh we've had a lot of success with
the the display on the report. Uh Linda

676
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:04,720
created something so that people could
sign if they're related to any of these

677
01:00:02,799 --> 01:00:10,079
people. We had a lady come last night
from Texas, her and her husband. They

678
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:14,960
made prayer arrangements, but they came
and they are related, directly related,

679
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:21,280
descendants of four of the original
pioneer families. And so she brought

680
01:00:17,599 --> 01:00:26,960
pictures with her and they were just a
delight to have. And they stayed until

681
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:31,280
we had to close. So that that was great.
Um those are some of the things we're

682
01:00:29,359 --> 01:00:36,720
trying to do. We have we have a
breakdown. Justin can run you through

683
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:44,799
whatever he wants. I'll be glad to to
answer any questions. But uh we had

684
01:00:40,079 --> 01:00:50,400
Bennett's glass come up and uh look at
what kind of door we needed to come in

685
01:00:47,119 --> 01:00:55,680
the from the elevator into the building.
And it will be key lock only. So the

686
01:00:53,760 --> 01:01:02,960
person attending
somebody with um that needs help will

687
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:06,559
have a key. In other words, people from
upstairs will not be able to open the

688
01:01:04,799 --> 01:01:11,760
door
and we will not have a closing cylinder

689
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:16,480
on it which is fairly pricey. That
actually saves money because the door is

690
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:22,880
supposed to open freely to the inside
the building and it's supposed to just

691
01:01:18,799 --> 01:01:28,559
stay open, you know. So, um that's good.
But anyway, Bennett's Glass gave us a a

692
01:01:25,119 --> 01:01:33,440
bid that's good for like uh I can't
remember just is it 60 days 30 to 60

693
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:36,720
days.
>> Okay. It was We can go over those prices

694
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:40,079
in a minute. We've got some uh numbers
council of how to finish the rest of

695
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:44,000
that building or from some of the other
rooms and stuff that Jeff and Linda have

696
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:50,880
been working hard on. We can talk about
that. But very much uh appreciate

697
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:56,480
» that was $10,440.
We got Steve Licky up there from Rocky

698
01:01:53,040 --> 01:02:01,119
Mountain Power and he really actually
got him to come up and go through the

699
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:04,880
building. He really enjoyed it and he
was

700
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:13,200
he seemed very impressed and he has
family was here at one time and so but

701
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:18,240
nonetheless he suggested that uh
most grants with Rocky Mountain Power

702
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:24,400
Foundation are they ask you not to apply
for more than generally not more than

703
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:29,440
5,000 but he suggested what they really
go by he says you can put Jeff you can

704
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:36,960
put any amount in you want Because what
they go by is, how did he put it?

705
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:42,240
What will ever make the
gauge click?

706
01:02:39,839 --> 01:02:47,280
I might have to get my phone on.
Whatever will make

707
01:02:44,799 --> 01:02:51,599
the um
gauge click that will move the project

708
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:56,400
forward.
So he says, "I'm not telling you what to

709
01:02:53,280 --> 01:03:00,960
do, but I I'd put $10,000 and tell you
tell them why we need to get this done.

710
01:02:58,559 --> 01:03:05,920
We're getting closer to having it
finished up." So we did. We applied for

711
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:11,760
the full $10,000
knowing now what they look at closely.

712
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:15,440
Um that really helped. So Okay.
>> Thank you.

713
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:18,240
» Yeah, I think Justin has a little bit of
additional

714
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:21,520
» color that he can put on a couple of
items here. So

715
01:03:19,359 --> 01:03:24,079
» yeah, just uh Jeff's been hard. Jeff and
Linda are always very hard at work over

716
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:29,440
there. If you notice, they're over there
two days a week plus uh when it's open

717
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:33,119
uh when it's not open and in between. Uh
when Jeff's not on a tractor, Jeff's at

718
01:03:31,119 --> 01:03:36,960
the museum. We very much appreciate him
and the time spent getting all those

719
01:03:34,559 --> 01:03:40,960
bids. Uh as we talk about that building,
uh we've been working on a um some

720
01:03:39,359 --> 01:03:44,400
changes per the building inspection
department. We've got to tweak the one

721
01:03:42,799 --> 01:03:49,119
of the bathrooms a little bit. Uh
there's some uh uh railing that we've

722
01:03:47,119 --> 01:03:53,200
got to change uh to be into some ADA
compliance. Uh we'll get that done. Some

723
01:03:51,359 --> 01:03:57,280
uh grab bars, I believe they call them.
Uh put in some signage. Uh we can get in

724
01:03:55,359 --> 01:04:01,440
compliance there. As far as on the main
floor, uh basically the only thing uh

725
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:05,440
left on the main floor outside of fixing
that bathroom is the conference room. Uh

726
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:10,720
the conference room needs the electrical
finished. Uh the flooring probably uh

727
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:13,839
flooring is problematic at best. Uh we
have some pricing there, sheetrock,

728
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:17,920
paint, and then the bottom could
actually be done. Uh we found out on the

729
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:22,000
stairs going up with the lift and stuff,
the stairs uh actually will hit code

730
01:04:20,319 --> 01:04:26,559
from as far as the stairs perspective
themselves, but we would we do have to

731
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:30,640
install a railing on both sides. Um so
that will be mandatory and that is from

732
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:34,640
the very bottom to uh to the top even
where it makes the 90 and goes up onto

733
01:04:32,799 --> 01:04:40,079
the floor. So uh we would need some
railing there. As Jeff mentioned, 40,000

734
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:43,200
in wraps tax, 20,000 in a CLG. those are
approved. Uh we've applied for the

735
01:04:42,079 --> 01:04:47,599
through the Rocky Mountain Power
Foundation. Hope to get some funding

736
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:51,119
there. Um the lift is going to require
some concrete work. We're going to have

737
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:55,520
to cut out some of the concrete out. I
believe it's going to have to be on

738
01:04:52,559 --> 01:04:58,880
about a 4ft base if I recall. Um with
the concrete, so there's going to be

739
01:04:57,119 --> 01:05:01,599
some costs with that. We're going to
have to move the air conditioning unit

740
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:05,039
that's on the east side of the building.
It's going to have to be relocated to

741
01:05:03,119 --> 01:05:09,359
the south side of the building. And then
as you look at the upstairs uh council,

742
01:05:07,839 --> 01:05:13,119
um some of the electrical needs to be
finished once the roughin electrical is

743
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:16,880
done. Uh it would require an inspection
and then you could start looking at

744
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:20,720
sheetrock. It's already insulated. You
could look at sheetrock. Uh there's some

745
01:05:18,559 --> 01:05:23,440
flooring challenges. Uh you know, some
flooring needs to be done up there.

746
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:28,559
Probably the biggest thing on the
upstairs before really a whole lot can

747
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:33,200
proceed is cutting through that wall um
on the east side to uh because you can't

748
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:37,119
come in is is if you go in now uh with
the existing wall, you would have like a

749
01:05:34,799 --> 01:05:40,720
two foot 18 to 24 inch fall off to the
main floor. You can't have that with a

750
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:45,280
wheelchair obviously. So there's some
challenges attaching to the building,

751
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:48,880
cutting a hole through that wall. Um you
know it's an older building obviously so

752
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:52,240
when you're cutting holes through walls
there can be some challenges there.

753
01:05:50,799 --> 01:05:58,559
Jeff's went out and got some flooring
bids, some sheetrock bids. Um, you know,

754
01:05:56,240 --> 01:06:02,640
they're still even on top of the lift
council, they're still, you know, you

755
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:06,240
start adding things up. Uh, and these
are combined for the upstairs and the

756
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:11,280
and the downstairs, but flooring, you're
still at 18,000. Sheetrock, paint, trim,

757
01:06:08,559 --> 01:06:15,680
and framing, 19,000. Uh, we haven't got
a bid yet on the handrail. Um, HVAC,

758
01:06:14,559 --> 01:06:21,119
there's still some work to be done
there. Rock repair, estimating 2500. uh

759
01:06:19,359 --> 01:06:27,680
the you know some electrical to finish
up. Um we are uh excited about what uh

760
01:06:25,359 --> 01:06:31,119
what Jeff was able to do with a local
contractor and a donor on the sophet and

761
01:06:29,599 --> 01:06:35,520
fascia. That project can be finished.
The building department signed off on

762
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:39,119
that. Um there was a a donation and then
some inind there. So that project will

763
01:06:37,599 --> 01:06:42,480
get finished on the outside. Jeff's
talked to that contractor about moving

764
01:06:40,559 --> 01:06:46,079
forward with it. Uh hopefully we can get
that done before the winter, but that

765
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:50,400
will be uh up to the contractor there.
So we're looking at some grant options.

766
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:54,000
council uh because without grand options
it would take it's going to take still a

767
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:59,440
significant amount of funding to finish
that upstairs uh as well as that main

768
01:06:57,039 --> 01:07:02,319
floor. So uh the lift like I say the
challenge is attaching it to the

769
01:07:00,799 --> 01:07:06,880
building. It's cutting through the east
wall. Um and so we'll keep working on

770
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:10,480
that. As Jeff said uh there's not very
often Jeff comes over that he doesn't

771
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:14,480
have a donation of some type. Kudos to
Jeff for all the donations him and the

772
01:07:12,799 --> 01:07:18,480
entire group have collected, but Jeff's
been instrumental in that as we all

773
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:22,400
know. So, we're looking at some some
grants, but bottom line, without any

774
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:26,240
additional grant funding or donations,
uh that project's pretty much going to

775
01:07:24,079 --> 01:07:30,000
stall in reality, um because there's
just simply no funding for it. Um you

776
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:33,680
know, there's some partial funding, as
Jeff mentioned, for the lift. Uh but

777
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:37,359
it's going to take some additional
funding to get that done. Obviously, we

778
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:41,760
don't want to lose out on the CLG grant
or the wraps tax. Uh there are some

779
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:46,640
deadlines and stuff there. Uh so, we'll
be looking at a proposal there, council,

780
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:49,359
of how we fund. Uh, so we s certainly
don't want to lose out on $60,000 in

781
01:07:48,559 --> 01:07:53,039
funding, right?
>> So So we talking about what 50 60,000 to

782
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:56,160
finish the project?
>> I think you're closer to 100 than

783
01:07:54,480 --> 01:08:01,039
50,000.
>> Uh, just because there's some unknowns

784
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:08,240
like cutting through that wall, um,
moving the AC, um, the electrical. Um, I

785
01:08:05,119 --> 01:08:13,520
mean, you start going 18, 19 is 37, you
know, and then, you know, it just adds

786
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:18,239
in a hurry. um you know so probably 50
to 100 is reasonable um but there's just

787
01:08:16,719 --> 01:08:23,199
some unknowns on that east side and how
that connects some electrical um so but

788
01:08:21,759 --> 01:08:26,799
I still think you know there's
definitely some significant funding

789
01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:30,319
challenges left to finish that building
council as I think we all know

790
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:34,080
» I've been kind of plugging along with it
all the way all the way so maybe it's

791
01:08:31,759 --> 01:08:37,920
just it's the name of that building
>> so and it wouldn't bottom line when you

792
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:43,199
look at what it is now it's possible
because of grants uh grants and

793
01:08:40,319 --> 01:08:47,359
donations ations and council approved
funding. So that's how we've got to get

794
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:51,040
that building open. Um I believe it was
Jeff, correct me if I'm wrong. I think

795
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:56,880
we officially took ownership in 2019 if
I recall. Um and so look at what's been

796
01:08:54,640 --> 01:09:01,679
done from 19 through now. Uh but like
you say that upstairs is a challenge. I

797
01:08:58,719 --> 01:09:07,040
mean it is it is not usable as it sits.
It is not safe. Uh it's blocked off and

798
01:09:04,159 --> 01:09:10,960
not accessible. Um so it would be up to
the council how they want to proceed.

799
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:16,799
Um, but we the next thing we're going to
be looking at is actually how we can get

800
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:21,520
that lift attached to the building and
what's involved. Um, once you start

801
01:09:19,440 --> 01:09:26,080
cutting that wall, there's no going
back. Like, let's be honest, like that's

802
01:09:23,679 --> 01:09:28,799
that that's a big deal. Uh, when that
when that cut in that wall for that lift

803
01:09:28,159 --> 01:09:32,640
comes, so
>> there's no absolute unknown or there's

804
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:36,640
no absolute known there.
>> Yeah. And I mean, we're just not going

805
01:09:34,239 --> 01:09:43,120
back. So, we've got to we got to play
with that some about we know when that

806
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:46,480
door comes off or that and that however
they cut that is it's a go like there's

807
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:50,799
no going back
>> like we have to finish that to get that

808
01:09:48,319 --> 01:09:53,520
thing sealed back off. So, um we have
some challenges there for sure. Jay,

809
01:09:52,319 --> 01:09:57,679
» I was just going to say I would assume
that so it's already open and

810
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:02,400
everything. We want to get the what's
downstairs finished first so it's all

811
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:05,440
co- compliant and everything. use that.
>> So, we'll work on the the bathroom will

812
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:10,800
get fixed now. We'll work on getting it
done. So, um that there's no issues

813
01:10:07,440 --> 01:10:14,640
there. Very overall pretty pretty simple
fixes there. We'll just get the person

814
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:19,760
in there and then it's up. I mean, the
the conference room I mean obviously is

815
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:24,239
the building's open without it. Would it
certainly be nice if it was done? Uh

816
01:10:21,440 --> 01:10:26,080
absolutely. Uh of course. So, but yeah,
we do have some challenges finishing

817
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:31,120
that upstairs.
>> So, on on the cutting through the wall,

818
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:36,640
we do have
close estimate on that. It's going to be

819
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:42,480
between 45 and $5,000.
And

820
01:10:38,719 --> 01:10:47,440
I have to take a little different stand,
Justin, pardon me, but I believe that we

821
01:10:45,440 --> 01:10:52,480
I really believe we can get it done at
around $100,000. We can get it all

822
01:10:49,679 --> 01:10:57,920
finished up. We had Lance Walker come
up, very experienced brickmason.

823
01:10:55,600 --> 01:11:02,480
He's offered to do a lot of the work
that would be involved with with cutting

824
01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:09,440
through the wall, you know, the the
extra. And we've got the brick, the old

825
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:16,000
brick to match. And he said, "I owe you
one." He told me about why he owed me

826
01:11:12,239 --> 01:11:20,880
something. And he he promised do a job
for me. Forgot about it. But that's all

827
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:25,040
right. He's a good man and very very
experienced. We actually had him come

828
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:29,360
before we had the concrete cutters come
and he guided us said this is what you

829
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:35,520
need to ask. These are the questions you
need to ask and this is what we need to

830
01:11:31,199 --> 01:11:41,199
do. And uh but he'll come in and
bring the level up on where we're going

831
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:46,800
to put the window on the north opening
east side north opening.

832
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:54,480
And uh but he'll he'll do that stuff for
us. He's offered to do it. So those kind

833
01:11:50,400 --> 01:12:00,719
of things are helpful, but I think real
honestly, I'm pretty sure we can get it

834
01:11:57,199 --> 01:12:05,120
finished up at $100,000.
>> Justin, there's no short-term occupancy

835
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:06,880
issues with the fixes that need to be
made for the bathrooms.

836
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:13,120
» No, we're full.
>> Okay, good.

837
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:17,520
» And in that in that conference room, um
the flooring has been done for the most

838
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:21,760
part, the rough flooring. There's one
more piece of

839
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:25,679
thin wood that needs to be put on and
then we'll need to put some leveling

840
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:31,840
base on it
before they try to put the

841
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:37,520
regular flooring in.
So, we'll even it up real nice for Dan

842
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:42,159
Stone to put the flooring in.
>> So, is there enough funding to put the

843
01:12:39,440 --> 01:12:44,320
lift in or is that is that unknown
because of the wall? Is that what you're

844
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:50,000
saying?
>> That that's the cost that's a little

845
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:53,280
unknown. I mean, we we have a pretty
good idea. Like I said, $4,500 to

846
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:58,159
$5,000.
>> Has the lift been purchased already?

847
01:12:55,840 --> 01:13:04,719
» No, we haven't signed any contract yet.
We'll want what we'll want to do is

848
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:10,000
we'll want to get um Mike Gardner, he's
with the the lift company. We want to

849
01:13:07,440 --> 01:13:15,440
get him up here with his engineers and
that and show us exactly what needs to

850
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:18,719
be done. That's what
>> Justin talked about. We got to have that

851
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:22,400
done
>> before we do anything

852
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:28,719
» before we sign any kind of contract and
we want the contract to specify exactly

853
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:35,520
what we need. When they did the original
drawings, conceptual drawings and so on.

854
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:41,280
Uh it showed the the lift coming in from
inside or out outside the building but

855
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:44,960
from a different direction
but it will it would come in from the

856
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:48,880
east. And so the tower doesn't need to
be near as wide because it'll just come

857
01:13:46,719 --> 01:13:54,320
straight in.
And uh so it won't be near as wide.

858
01:13:52,000 --> 01:14:01,840
Whereas if it came from the south, you'd
have to come in, put them in undercover

859
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:08,159
and so on. They also put in the original
conceptional drawings that were done by

860
01:14:04,480 --> 01:14:14,400
Steve Cornell from state history
preservation office. He did quite

861
01:14:10,239 --> 01:14:20,719
detailed and he envisioned a glass tower
and we we don't really want a glass

862
01:14:17,679 --> 01:14:26,640
tower. Uh we prefer to have something
like the hardy board, sturdy board and

863
01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:33,280
and maybe just a
a sight glass or something on the pod so

864
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:39,760
they can see it a little bit as they go
up. But, uh, there's things we can do to

865
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:44,960
keep the the price down and still do a
good job. We are dedicated to doing it

866
01:14:42,159 --> 01:14:48,640
once and doing it right.
And so, anyway,

867
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:52,080
» so you're at the point now where you
need to have it engineered to find out

868
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,760
exactly what you need to do before you
can proceed forward. Is that what I'm

869
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,920
hearing?
>> On the lift? Yes.

870
01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:59,280
» Yes. On the lift. So, that's where
that's where you're at with that.

871
01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:03,199
» Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. We're
not going to sign a contract till

872
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:05,440
everybody's knows exactly what we're
paying and what we're getting into.

873
01:15:04,719 --> 01:15:10,880
» Yeah.
>> Yeah, for sure. And it'll come before

874
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:14,560
you guys, I'm sure.
>> Well, thank you so much.

875
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:18,320
» Thank you, Jeff and and Linda, for all
of your dedication, everything you've

876
01:15:16,320 --> 01:15:24,320
done. You guys are amazing.
>> Well, we thank you guys, especially

877
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:28,560
Justin. He's been a a real savior to us
and keeping track of things and helping

878
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:34,080
he's been helping us write grants and
has relieved us of some time that Lind

879
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:38,400
and I have spent in the past. But
>> the value that this has to the community

880
01:15:35,679 --> 01:15:44,400
is extraordinary. It really is. And this
goes down to your effort and your uh

881
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:47,440
team's effort, all the volunteer labor
that's gone into this.

882
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:50,320
» There's a lot of good volunteers.
>> We're also facing some real decisions we

883
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:54,000
need to make here.
>> Sure. Because I understand.

884
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:59,040
» Uh, nobody's questioning the value of
this, but we're facing some real costs

885
01:15:56,159 --> 01:16:00,880
that are unaccounted for and not not
budgeted for currently.

886
01:16:00,159 --> 01:16:05,920
» Yes.
>> And what the more you can do to kind of

887
01:16:03,679 --> 01:16:09,440
lock in those numbers and help us figure
out what that is and I appreciate all

888
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:11,920
you do to get donations and the seat
grants. That's absolutely valuable for

889
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:17,520
sure.
>> Just a few weeks ago, we had the Doug 55

890
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:23,600
members of the Douglas family. Mr. Doug
built the store originally, but 55

891
01:16:19,920 --> 01:16:28,960
members came to the store and um we
basically had to turn out the lights and

892
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:33,520
throw the last ones out.
But they

893
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:39,600
one of the descendants named David could
understand what was needed and it's

894
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:45,280
money because the rest of the work is by
professionals, right? like the lift. And

895
01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:48,560
so he's taken it upon himself the
Douglases are he's committed that the

896
01:16:47,199 --> 01:16:52,960
Douglas is going to raise a little
money. It might, you know, it might be

897
01:16:50,480 --> 01:16:56,480
$1,500. That's what I think they paid
before. But hey, that helps. Every

898
01:16:55,440 --> 01:16:59,440
little bit helps.
>> And uh

899
01:16:57,679 --> 01:17:04,080
» but but we really need to lock all this
down and make sure we've got bids and

900
01:17:02,239 --> 01:17:06,320
specifics about what's going to be done,
what's not going to be done.

901
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:09,360
» One thing you need to understand
>> where the funding is coming from. So we

902
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:14,320
appreciate that. What one thing though
that you need to understand is you can't

903
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:20,080
get bids for a long term. Most
businesses like Trend Interiors and

904
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:25,840
Bennett's Glass will give you a bid for
so many days and that's it. And they

905
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:29,120
won't give an estimate. They'll only
give a bid, but it's good for so many

906
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:32,800
days.
>> It's a good guideline to work on though.

907
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:36,159
Again, it's a good estimate. So, it
gives us an idea of what it could cost

908
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:40,560
because if it goes up, it's not going to
be drastic. So, at least gives us an

909
01:17:37,679 --> 01:17:44,880
idea. Yeah. And I I've got the estimates
estimates from some, but actual bids on

910
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:48,960
others because they won't give out an
estimate. They'll give a bid. This is

911
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:51,840
what it's going to cost you. This is
what you're going to get.

912
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:55,920
» Well, and in terms of fundraising, we we
work off the high numbers. And then if

913
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:58,320
we come in under bids or we come in low
lower than right the estimates, then

914
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,880
» right,
>> that money can be spent elsewhere and

915
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:06,159
there's always places to spend the
money. I'd be happy to answer any of

916
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:11,360
your specific questions or if any of you
want to see what we're looking at and

917
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:16,159
get a feel for it yourself. Todd, I know
you'd like to be there and like to have

918
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:20,239
you. So, just get a hold of me. I'll
come up anytime, day or night, and we

919
01:18:18,480 --> 01:18:23,440
can go through it.
>> You know, where that building's come

920
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:28,800
from since 2019 to where it is now. It's
just phenomenal. And congratulations for

921
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:32,080
your guys' dedication. We do appreciate
it. But I I agree with John. We got a

922
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:34,719
little bit. We got to push it over the
hill.

923
01:18:32,480 --> 01:18:41,800
» Yep. I'll pass that on to the other
volunteers. Thank you all of you.

924
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:41,800
» Thank you, Jeff. Appreciate it, sir.

925
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:48,960
» Okay, moving on. We'll move to agenda
item number six, city manager report.

926
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:54,480
Turn the time over to Justin.
>> Hi, just a few things tonight. Um, I'll

927
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:57,520
let uh John talk about it in a minute,
but we had uh we met with a

928
01:18:56,239 --> 01:19:02,080
representative of the cash water
district uh today on a project that we

929
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:05,840
can potentially do here at the city
office. We're super excited. Uh John is

930
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:09,280
going to fill you guys in on what we
talked about on stuff, but I think it's

931
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:12,719
going to be a really good project for
the city. It's going to be at this

932
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:16,880
building. Uh John will fill in on that.
As far as the spring line up the canyon,

933
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:21,440
knock on wood, we are that contractor is
doing really well. uh they are on target

934
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:26,719
to finish their part of the project or
phase one in October uh with the

935
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:30,560
exception of there is one culvert uh
that Clay is working on with the

936
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:33,840
contractor with the county. We had one
really really bad con culvert up the

937
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:38,560
canyon. We've had to get some specialty
pipe. Uh it won't be here till sometime

938
01:19:36,320 --> 01:19:42,640
in October. Uh but the contractor is
cruising along on phase one and then

939
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:47,920
they'll finish up that culvert and phase
one that spring line replacement uh will

940
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:52,239
be done this year. So, appreciate Clay
overseeing that. The new 3 million

941
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:57,920
gallon tank, basically floors done,
walls are there, and they're going to

942
01:19:54,000 --> 01:20:01,679
the roof. Uh, that is a very big uh you
feel very small when you're around that

943
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:05,920
tank now. Uh, that tank's very big.
Appreciate Clay uh overseeing both of

944
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:09,520
those as well as the the storm water
project. Uh, we're actually working, he

945
01:20:08,159 --> 01:20:14,880
was meeting with them. We're working on
phase two. Hope to have it out to bid

946
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:19,920
sooner than later as we go on that. Uh
the audit started in August and we'll

947
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:25,120
work on on it through October. Uh you
know some of those big things that you

948
01:20:21,199 --> 01:20:30,400
look at or that are really uh uh
reviewed like impact fees uh to the

949
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:34,640
penny. Um uh they are very much
scrutinized where they're at, where

950
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:38,880
they're going. Um, you actually, if you
didn't know, if we have unspent impact

951
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:43,840
fees, we actually have to set aside
interest uh on those to give back to the

952
01:20:42,159 --> 01:20:48,320
developer if they weren't spent within
the time uh period uh that's allowed

953
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:52,880
that six years. So, they're heavily
scrutinized. All grants are scrutinized.

954
01:20:50,159 --> 01:20:55,920
Rats tax, we have a ton of grants. Uh
we're we're totally happy to see those

955
01:20:54,560 --> 01:21:00,480
scrutinized because it means we did
really well um in bringing those in,

956
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:05,520
especially like with the library. uh the
fraud risk assessment something we do

957
01:21:02,239 --> 01:21:09,199
every year uh per state interesting on
there all the boxes we can check a

958
01:21:07,199 --> 01:21:13,679
couple of the boxes we can't check uh
right now for example or we don't have a

959
01:21:11,440 --> 01:21:17,679
CPA on staff find it very interesting
that's one of the questions um one of

960
01:21:16,239 --> 01:21:21,199
the other questions it says are
employees and elected officials required

961
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:25,360
to annually commit in writing to abide
by a statement of ethical behavior uh

962
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:30,640
what I find interesting in that is we
would have to have I believe there's 161

963
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:34,640
employees right now plus or minus. I
would have to have 161 forms whether

964
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:39,920
they're seasonal, part-time, council,
mayor. Simply can't get them. Uh that's

965
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:43,520
just a box. We can't check. We're just I
I can't I'm not going to be able to

966
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:47,440
acquire those. Uh I don't think a
seasonal or a part-timer that's here for

967
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:50,960
a month would even know what that means.
Uh if they read it, the council

968
01:21:49,199 --> 01:21:55,760
certainly does. The mayor certainly
does. Um but there's a couple of boxes

969
01:21:53,520 --> 01:22:00,159
on there. We just don't uh we couldn't
check this year uh because of things

970
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:03,040
like that, but we've checked a lot of
those boxes. So, we'll keep working on

971
01:22:01,440 --> 01:22:08,000
the audit. They'll come in most likely
probably in December as we finish that

972
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:12,480
up. Uh because there's a little uh in
November there's a scheduling change if

973
01:22:10,159 --> 01:22:15,840
you went the second Wednesday uh is
Veterans Day. We noted earlier this year

974
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:21,679
we're not holding council on Veterans
Day. So, uh the 1111 meeting is actually

975
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:27,760
on 114. Uh just as a reminder as you
plan our October meeting uh is just its

976
01:22:24,480 --> 01:22:31,120
normal second uh second Wednesday. Um
but outside of that I don't have

977
01:22:29,679 --> 01:22:35,520
anything else tonight Todd unless you
have questions.

978
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:40,639
Any questions?
>> Okay. Thank you Justin. Appreciate that.

979
01:22:38,639 --> 01:22:43,920
And seems like I always wind up going
first when we wind up doing our

980
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:47,600
councilman report. So I'm going to go
the other direction. We'll let start at

981
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:51,280
Jay and come the other direction.
>> Cool.

982
01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:55,199
um mosquito. Let's start off with the
mosquitoes.

983
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:58,960
Okay. Um some interesting things with
that I found out in the last meeting.

984
01:22:56,639 --> 01:23:02,800
First of all, two weeks ago, all but
three communities in the valley now have

985
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:08,239
tested West Nile virus. So, it's West
Nile here. And uh there's been last two

986
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:11,520
weeks ago, there was actually uh two or
three people now that's been

987
01:23:09,199 --> 01:23:15,600
hospitalized with it. So, it's here in
the community. Now what's what that does

988
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:19,600
too is that when before if you didn't
want your neighborhood sprayed um you

989
01:23:18,159 --> 01:23:23,920
could opt out of it but once your
community test is positive for that they

990
01:23:22,639 --> 01:23:27,520
just it goes to emergency mode and
everything gets sprayed

991
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:31,120
» so you can't opt out of it. Um some
couple interesting things about that.

992
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:36,960
It's only the female mosquito that bites
you that carries it and they only bite

993
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:39,600
between dusk and dawn. So those
mosquitoes that bite you during the day

994
01:23:38,159 --> 01:23:44,719
is a different breed. It's not the ones
that get you. Um, also the mosquitoes.

995
01:23:42,639 --> 01:23:48,239
Another interesting fact, the only way
this goes away is when the cold frost

996
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:51,360
comes and kills the mosquitoes. And so
until October, we're going to be, you

997
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:55,440
know, it's going to be interesting to
see what happens. The big thing is the

998
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:58,239
people who own horses. It's very
detrimental to them. They've had now

999
01:23:56,719 --> 01:24:02,960
about six or seven horses in the valley
that have caught West Nile and died of

1000
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:06,639
it. And I guess it's a really painful
way to go. So for the horse, so kind of

1001
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:09,920
keep that in mind. They were all about
that. Um, but there Oh, there was

1002
01:24:08,719 --> 01:24:12,960
another concern too. They said that
there's people who's been sick that

1003
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:15,199
probably had the west now, but they
didn't go to the hospital or anything.

1004
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:18,239
So, they didn't know they really had it.
So, there's probably more cases just

1005
01:24:16,719 --> 01:24:21,600
they're mild cases, but it's here in the
valley and so um it's kind of

1006
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:26,000
interesting. So, now when you go out
there, you know, so you get a little

1007
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:29,440
nervous. So, they said make sure you
protect yourself, wear long pants, long

1008
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:32,960
coats and stuff like that. Anyway,
that's that one. Um talk about the fire

1009
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:36,639
service a little bit. Um the board of
trustees, they now have their board

1010
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:40,880
members all put together. Um is made up
of mayors in the valley. Our mayor is

1011
01:24:38,639 --> 01:24:44,159
the chairperson of the board of trustees
for the fire the fire district. It's not

1012
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:47,440
called the county fire district. It's
called the cash fire district fire

1013
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:51,840
protection district I think it's called
or something like that. Um and then they

1014
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:56,880
have also um established where they have
a technical committees um from the north

1015
01:24:54,639 --> 01:25:01,280
and the south that's made up of the fire
chiefs and some other citizens at large

1016
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:04,159
um to help make that up. And then we
also still have the advisory committee

1017
01:25:03,040 --> 01:25:06,960
in the north end of the valley and the
south end of the valley. We were

1018
01:25:05,440 --> 01:25:10,400
supposed to have a meeting uh tomorrow
night because they had an emergency

1019
01:25:08,239 --> 01:25:14,320
meeting last week with the mayors. Um
the Jeff Young who's the mayor from

1020
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:18,320
Richmond who's the chair of it. He uh
basically said let's postpone it until

1021
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:21,679
after next Wednesday meeting of the fire
of the trustees. So what they're working

1022
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:25,120
on right now is probably seen in the
paper. They're working on the funding

1023
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:28,719
and that sort of thing. Some things that
are going through. So it's it's working

1024
01:25:26,719 --> 01:25:31,679
its way. It's starting to maybe working
some things down and everything. So it's

1025
01:25:30,639 --> 01:25:34,960
going to be interesting to see where
that goes and I'm sure we'll have more

1026
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:38,719
discussion on that future.
Um, and I just want to real quick on my

1027
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:43,360
ending here, I want to shout out and
tell the uh publicly tell the school

1028
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:48,239
district thanks for the sidewalk they
put on six south. I was really surprised

1029
01:25:46,480 --> 01:25:53,040
at what that made a difference for that
street. It really cleaned that up and

1030
01:25:50,719 --> 01:25:55,600
they did a fantastic job. And I just,
you know, in our meeting here, I'd like

1031
01:25:54,239 --> 01:25:58,080
to say, "Hey, thank you. You did you
made a big difference over in that

1032
01:25:56,800 --> 01:26:01,600
community." The only thing that's kind
of a little weird is when you get up

1033
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:05,920
there, there's a wowee in the sidewalk
where it goes around that valve. So, if

1034
01:26:04,480 --> 01:26:08,719
you're coming down there on a skateboard
or whatever,

1035
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:11,600
» you better be careful.
>> They'll only do it once.

1036
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:14,800
» So,
that is true. And, you know, and and

1037
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:20,000
when we get our bridge done, I think
that'll be a f fantastic addition to six

1038
01:26:17,679 --> 01:26:24,080
south. But it it really they did a
fantastic job with it and it really

1039
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:28,080
cleaned up that block. And so, anybody
see the school district, thank you.

1040
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:33,679
Thank you very much from from our from
my standpoint anyway. Thank you.

1041
01:26:31,199 --> 01:26:37,120
» Thank you, Jay John.
>> Yeah, agreed on the sidewalk project.

1042
01:26:36,159 --> 01:26:40,960
That's been fantastic.
>> It's over in your neighborhood.

1043
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:45,760
» Yeah, it's
>> it's my neighborhood now. Uh Justin, I

1044
01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:51,840
met today with Autumn from the Cash
Water District. uh they received a grant

1045
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:57,280
last year, earlier this year for some
money to distribute to cities to

1046
01:26:55,199 --> 01:27:02,000
rellandscape using water wise
landscaping and they reached out to the

1047
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:07,920
cities to see what interest we had uh as
we visited. Uh Justin immediately knew

1048
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:12,800
that we could use that funding to help
rellandscape here uh around the city

1049
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:18,400
campus where we have so many kind of
narrow strips of grass and turf that is

1050
01:27:16,480 --> 01:27:23,760
kind of not usable really as turf but
takes all the work of maintaining

1051
01:27:20,239 --> 01:27:28,639
watering mowing uh as turf. And so, uh,
our our thinking right now is that we're

1052
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:34,639
going to convert much of this
landscaping around the city offices and

1053
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:39,199
along the park strip here on First South
to some water wise landscaping. We

1054
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:44,560
Justin's identified about 4,000 square
feet that we can convert. and the cash

1055
01:27:42,480 --> 01:27:50,080
district is essentially verbally
committed to about $10,000 worth of

1056
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:54,560
funding to help pay for that and suggest
we might even get some additional

1057
01:27:51,679 --> 01:27:59,280
funding from slow the flow who
compensates

1058
01:27:56,400 --> 01:28:04,639
communities when they remove turf. And
so we might be able to come up with 10

1059
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:09,840
or 15 almost $20,000 worth of funding
for that. And of course, our public's

1060
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:16,239
works folks can do a lot of the labor as
a inind contribution to that project.

1061
01:28:12,719 --> 01:28:22,000
So, we're very excited about uh that and
tightening up our water usage and the

1062
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:26,000
labor that needs to be done to maintain
the land landscape around the city

1063
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:31,520
offices here. So, that'll probably
happen here in the fall. We need to have

1064
01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:36,880
spent that money by spring, but we're
probably going to try to do it here in

1065
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:41,600
the fall, uh is what Justin suggests. So
that's exciting. Library is busy busy.

1066
01:28:39,440 --> 01:28:45,679
Even though the summer programs are
done, now we're kind of starting into

1067
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:49,920
fall programs and schools uh and
children and community members in the

1068
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:54,400
library. So continue to be very busy at
the library.

1069
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:58,960
Uh in terms of our uh community
development programs,

1070
01:28:56,639 --> 01:29:06,960
uh we'll be kind of launching our USU
partnership in two weeks here uh at the

1071
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:11,360
council meeting. in uh we'll have the
leadership from USU here to talk with us

1072
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:16,560
and
we have been working on setting some

1073
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:22,480
community priorities on kind of some of
the ideas we want them to focus on. We

1074
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:26,000
expect that USU will also as they review
the community, they'll have some

1075
01:29:23,679 --> 01:29:31,440
suggestions on what to work on also. So,
it's kind of a two-part

1076
01:29:29,440 --> 01:29:36,159
uh priority setting and so that will
happen over the over the coming months.

1077
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:40,239
We're excited to get that going. Uh we
kind of had an exciting month in terms

1078
01:29:38,159 --> 01:29:44,560
of trails.
Uh

1079
01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:49,360
and so here here's what I'll say for
now. The access that we that the

1080
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:54,400
community has been uh enjoying access
from the end of Summit Drive down into

1081
01:29:51,600 --> 01:30:01,280
Birch Canyon that has been closed by the
property owners and we hope that

1082
01:29:57,679 --> 01:30:05,920
citizens will respect that closure.
We also expect that that closure will

1083
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:10,080
not be permanent. Uh and that
negotiations are ongoing with land

1084
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:14,800
owners, not only for access from the end
of Summit Drive into Birch Canyon, but

1085
01:30:12,480 --> 01:30:19,360
connecting all of that to the Bonville
Shoreline Trail. And so over the next

1086
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:24,480
six months to a year, maybe hopefully
those negotiations will bear fruit and

1087
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:30,719
we'll identify routes and we'll make
agreements with land owners to kind of

1088
01:30:27,199 --> 01:30:35,520
uh open that up once and for all and and
uh and and develop those trails in

1089
01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:40,560
really usable kinds of ways. In the
meantime, we hope that citizens and

1090
01:30:37,679 --> 01:30:46,239
residents, as much as we all love to get
on those trails, uh we hope that they'll

1091
01:30:42,719 --> 01:30:49,920
respect the property owners rights to do
what they need to with their property

1092
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:55,920
for now.
Uh, also kind of related to that, the

1093
01:30:53,520 --> 01:31:02,639
Crow Mountain Neighborhood Group has
been uh surveying local residents about

1094
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:07,920
what amenities
might be part of the new park, the

1095
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:12,159
future park up on what we call the
Tuison property up on Crow Mountain, the

1096
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:17,760
11acre
uh city property up there. and they have

1097
01:31:14,719 --> 01:31:22,400
in the last few months collected 172
responses from residents. And so they

1098
01:31:20,159 --> 01:31:26,320
are now in the process of starting to
collate and process that data that

1099
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:31,440
they've gathered. And we've invited them
to come present to the council uh the

1100
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:35,199
first week of November about what they
found and what they gathered on their

1101
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:39,760
survey.
And so we'll be able to share that

1102
01:31:36,480 --> 01:31:45,679
survey data with USU as they kind of
consider uh designs for that park. So

1103
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:50,400
that's been super helpful and that that
group is just fantastic. That's that's

1104
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:56,400
not a small lift to gather that kind of
information. So we're super pleased with

1105
01:31:52,960 --> 01:32:04,000
their their work. And finally, the
chamber is kind of back on track after

1106
01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:07,840
kind of a hiatus during the summer. The
community trickor treat will be held on

1107
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:13,280
October 16th. Can you believe we're
already talking about Halloween? October

1108
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:17,840
16th from 4:30 to 8 at the rec center.
So that's coming up. And the night of

1109
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:23,440
giving is also already on the calendar
for December 5th and tables are now

1110
01:32:20,480 --> 01:32:28,159
available for purchase. The theme this
year for the night of giving is share

1111
01:32:25,840 --> 01:32:33,120
the joy and it's the 20th year of the
night of giving. So that's quite a

1112
01:32:30,159 --> 01:32:39,600
milestone for the chamber and that uh
annual effort. So, lots going on, lots

1113
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:44,719
of good things going on. We're really
excited.

1114
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:48,560
» Thanks, John. Um, I don't know if you
guys knew, but we've got a new mayor in

1115
01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:53,600
town.
Got heads turned.

1116
01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:59,760
Um, this is just our youth mayor. No
one's replacing um Mayor Aaron Rudy. We

1117
01:32:56,400 --> 01:33:06,639
love what he's doing. But uh basically
we've got Lily King who is our new um

1118
01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:13,040
youth mayor and this year's been uh
awesome. Um basically they've got uh

1119
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:19,760
nine youth council executive members and
they've got a total of 51

1120
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:25,440
um youth council. So that's more than
we've ever had in the history of

1121
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:34,159
Smithfield. And u they're a great group.
um last Wednesday uh the mayor um

1122
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:40,239
did the swearing in for for all of those
youth council and uh so we're excited

1123
01:33:37,199 --> 01:33:46,080
for them. Um as Caroli mentioned uh
there's Sky View had their homecoming uh

1124
01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:51,520
parade kind of during our meeting and so
normally we would have um someone from

1125
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:56,400
the youth council here to kind of tell
what's going on. Uh but since they

1126
01:33:53,920 --> 01:34:02,400
weren't able to be here, um I'll just
read you some information that uh Lily

1127
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:06,800
King wrote up. She said, "Uh we started
off our year with an executive training

1128
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:11,280
in the summer where we planned events
and did some team building activities.

1129
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:16,080
We also had our opening social with
everyone in the council which was a

1130
01:34:13,440 --> 01:34:21,280
success with great attendance.
Last Wednesday, we had our swearing in

1131
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:25,920
ceremony by Mayor Erin Rudy and were
able to review our upcoming activities

1132
01:34:23,199 --> 01:34:31,360
and events happening. In a few weeks, we
will have our teddy bear picnic taking

1133
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:36,320
place on the 26th of September. And in
October, we will be helping at the

1134
01:34:33,199 --> 01:34:40,320
Trickor Treat Street event.
And these youth get involved in in

1135
01:34:38,719 --> 01:34:45,679
helping some of these uh different
events um throughout the year. They do a

1136
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:52,480
great job. Um, we're excited for for
them. Um, and then, uh,

1137
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:58,159
in addition to the youth, we have the
other young seniors, um, that I got a

1138
01:34:55,679 --> 01:35:03,280
chance to go visit, uh, Tuesday. They're
back to their they're back to their uh,

1139
01:35:00,480 --> 01:35:06,639
weekly meetings um, in the summer. They
usually take a little bit of a break and

1140
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:12,639
only meet twice a month, but now they're
back to meeting um, each Tuesday for

1141
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:17,840
lunch and for entertainment. So, last
Tuesday, we had some awesome

1142
01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:23,600
entertainment. Um, we had the one and
only Mr. Justin Lewis

1143
01:35:20,719 --> 01:35:27,280
come and answer questions. And, uh, he
had them all rolling on the floor. They

1144
01:35:25,199 --> 01:35:32,080
were all happy and excited and and he
answered all their questions for as much

1145
01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:36,800
time as we had. I think they probably
still had some questions we didn't get

1146
01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:42,560
time to answer, but anyways, appreciated
Justin keeping them entertained. But uh

1147
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:48,480
and I'm I'm very appreciative of these
of these young seniors that um

1148
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:51,920
volunteer. It's pretty cool that they
they they spend a lot of time. You can

1149
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:56,480
tell that they're committed. There's a
lot of them that volunteer and help out

1150
01:35:53,440 --> 01:36:01,280
in different aspects of that. And it is
just so amazing to see how well it's

1151
01:35:58,719 --> 01:36:06,400
run. Um nobody's getting paid to do
anything there. And yet they they come

1152
01:36:03,600 --> 01:36:10,400
up with these great meals and uh great
entertainment. Um I'm not sure how much

1153
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:18,480
they paid Justin to be there, but you
know, expensive entertainment, right?

1154
01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:22,239
Anyways, um and then um just wanted to
mention uh as kind of was mentioned a

1155
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:28,719
little earlier, we had our community
planning engagement committee yesterday

1156
01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:34,400
meeting and uh working with uh obviously
getting ready for USU coming up on the

1157
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:40,159
23rd. Um we're excited about that. And
and in addition to that, um thanks Jeff

1158
01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:46,159
and Linda for all that you're doing um
with that rock building. That's part of

1159
01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:53,360
our envisioning of our Main Street Utah,
which you know, now we're the tier one

1160
01:36:49,119 --> 01:36:57,840
uh Main Street Utah um city uh here in
Smithfield. We're we're a part of that

1161
01:36:55,040 --> 01:37:02,159
program. And uh one of the things that
we're doing or we've committed to do as

1162
01:37:00,159 --> 01:37:07,840
a part of that is to create four
different committees. that follow the

1163
01:37:04,639 --> 01:37:13,520
the different areas um organization
promotion design and uh design and

1164
01:37:11,119 --> 01:37:19,920
economic vitality. So, we're going to be
reaching out to uh different residents

1165
01:37:16,800 --> 01:37:24,880
uh and also people who already serve on
some committees here on the city uh that

1166
01:37:22,560 --> 01:37:29,440
that may have some expertise and and
have some uh some knowledge that would

1167
01:37:27,679 --> 01:37:33,760
be able to help us on these committees.
So, we're we're excited for that and and

1168
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:38,639
getting involved with that. And then
we'll also have uh the director of Main

1169
01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:43,119
Street Utah there on the 23rd. So, we're
hoping with with those with that with

1170
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:47,840
USU helping us kind of get a vision of
Smithfield that we're going to do some

1171
01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:52,159
great things uh for for making
Smithfield

1172
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:57,920
uh keeping it the small town feel that
we want to have and um helping uh plan

1173
01:37:55,840 --> 01:38:04,320
for the future. I mean, that's kind of a
big big thing to accomplish, but

1174
01:38:00,639 --> 01:38:07,920
anyways, that's all I've got. Thank you.
>> Thanks, Chris. Jen,

1175
01:38:06,480 --> 01:38:11,920
» I don't have a whole lot of updates
since the royalty is done. And then we

1176
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:14,480
have a arts council meeting next Monday.
So, there might be updates after that,

1177
01:38:13,119 --> 01:38:18,960
but as of right now, I really don't have
a whole lot to update. The arts council

1178
01:38:16,639 --> 01:38:23,360
is just planning the historic book
festival right now. Got all their

1179
01:38:20,719 --> 01:38:26,880
subcommittees going and they're excited.
>> It's pretty awesome.

1180
01:38:24,880 --> 01:38:30,320
» Yeah, it's going to be good. got bigger
every year. So

1181
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:36,560
» that's all I have.
>> Thank you. Uh from my side, I just I

1182
01:38:33,679 --> 01:38:41,920
want to uh thirdly comment on the
sidewalk and how good that's looking

1183
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:46,080
down there with Sky View and uh stopped
the other day and talked with Clay

1184
01:38:43,199 --> 01:38:51,040
working on that co on the bridge which
is I think significantly ahead of what

1185
01:38:48,320 --> 01:38:54,880
we're original. So I'm excited about
that. They're going to be able to have

1186
01:38:52,159 --> 01:38:59,199
that in you know hopefully before the
snow flies. We We don't want that early

1187
01:38:56,800 --> 01:39:04,000
of snow. We want snow this year, but not
that early. So, grateful to that. That's

1188
01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:12,159
that's just really looking great down
there. Um, as far as uh getting back to

1189
01:39:08,480 --> 01:39:15,920
the historic society to want to just
thank Jeff for all the efforts that he's

1190
01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:22,159
been putting into there. So excited
about the opportunity we had to get that

1191
01:39:18,159 --> 01:39:26,880
20,000 um CLG grant because that that's
just really really going to help us out

1192
01:39:24,239 --> 01:39:31,199
on that. And that goes to a lot of his
efforts in being able to get that. Um,

1193
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:37,360
as far as the tree committee, we've kind
of had a summer off. Um, and uh, with

1194
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:42,639
few people recovering from travel and a
few other things, we our next meeting is

1195
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:47,600
not now scheduled until the 6th of uh,
of October. But that doesn't mean that

1196
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:54,159
things haven't been happening there. Um,
Chris has actually been heavily involved

1197
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:59,600
in helping to um, go through and make a
uh, much more editable tree inventory

1198
01:39:57,040 --> 01:40:03,760
list of the city, which I think will be
great for the tree committee to be able

1199
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:09,040
to have and have that on there. Not only
thanks to him, but also to Jack, to

1200
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:13,440
Mayor Murray. They've done great work in
really organizing and being able to do

1201
01:40:11,119 --> 01:40:19,920
that. And in addition to that, the
opportunity that we had to apply for the

1202
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:28,320
Utah Community Forest um partnership
grant um which is another uh $20,000

1203
01:40:24,159 --> 01:40:31,920
grant that uh that we have applied for.
Do you know when we hear anything on

1204
01:40:30,159 --> 01:40:36,960
that, Justin? Do you have the time frame
on that? Okay. I know there's a lot of

1205
01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:43,760
effort putting things together, figuring
out where our inind match could be for

1206
01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:49,360
that and you know obviously we've well
exceeded what that match would have to

1207
01:40:45,679 --> 01:40:55,040
be contemplating on that. So we really
are caring about the trees. I know trees

1208
01:40:51,440 --> 01:41:01,199
have been a concern in the city. Um, and
there's certainly a lot of effort going

1209
01:40:58,080 --> 01:41:07,360
into making sure that we live up to
everything that we need to be able to

1210
01:41:03,119 --> 01:41:11,840
live up to being a uh a Tree City USA
and the Tree Committee is committed to

1211
01:41:09,440 --> 01:41:20,480
that. I did want to mention that uh we
just had a a resignation out of the tree

1212
01:41:15,280 --> 01:41:25,119
committee. Uh Nick Reel would uh like to
um recognize him even though he was only

1213
01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:29,360
in for a short amount of time. He's had
some other commitments that have come up

1214
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:34,320
that require him to be able to step down
from that. And so we will be looking at

1215
01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:42,480
uh replacing his position on the tree
committee at that time. So

1216
01:41:38,159 --> 01:41:49,760
that's all I've got uh to report as
well. So, and we don't have a mayor's

1217
01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:56,880
report tonight. So, if there's uh
nothing else from the group up here, I'd

1218
01:41:52,239 --> 01:41:56,880
take a motion for adjournment. So moved.
