[1:38]
So, Tooele City is a JustServe
[1:41]
city and we are are excited to recognize
[1:44]
those people who serve in our community.
[1:47]
Um during the school year, we often do
[1:48]
youth awards, but during the summer
[1:50]
especially, we like to recognize people
[1:52]
who are just service oriented in our
[1:55]
community. So, we have two of those
[1:56]
awards tonight. The first is for Josie
[1:59]
Prescott. So, if you'd like to come up.
[2:03]
» [applause]
[2:06]
» I'm going to tell you a little bit about
[2:08]
Josie. Josie was nominated by Kayla
[2:10]
Cameron with the Tooele City Library.
[2:12]
Josie has served as a teen volunteer for
[2:14]
the Teen Advisory Council at the Tooele
[2:16]
City Library since August 2021. During
[2:19]
her time as a volunteer, she has
[2:20]
dedicated more than 88 hours of service
[2:22]
to library and its teen programs. That's
[2:24]
a lot of hours.
[2:26]
This year, Josie was the only teen to
[2:28]
apply for and serve on the TAC. Even
[2:31]
while working independently, she
[2:32]
remained committed to supporting local
[2:34]
teens by creating engaging and
[2:36]
meaningful activities for them to enjoy.
[2:38]
Over the years, Josie has organized
[2:40]
several successful teen programs,
[2:42]
including a St. Patrick's Day scavenger
[2:44]
hunt, craft activities, and
[2:46]
science-based programs. She has
[2:48]
consistently worked to encourage teens
[2:50]
to visit the library and participate in
[2:51]
activities designed specifically for
[2:53]
their interests.
[2:55]
Josie has also participated in multiple
[2:57]
service projects through the library.
[2:59]
She has helped clean the library
[3:01]
grounds, wipe down walls, and most
[3:02]
recently assisted in creating blankets
[3:05]
and baby kits for new mothers, which
[3:07]
were donated to a local hospital.
[3:09]
While completing her senior year at
[3:10]
Stansbury High School, Josie still found
[3:13]
time to serve at the library and
[3:14]
accomplish the goals she set for herself
[3:16]
as a TAC member. Her dedication,
[3:19]
leadership, and willingness to serve
[3:21]
have made her an invaluable part of the
[3:23]
teen volunteer program, and she is
[3:25]
deserving of recognition for her
[3:27]
outstanding efforts. Congratulations,
[3:29]
JOSIE.
[3:32]
» [applause]
[3:40]
» OKAY, AND OUR NEXT award winners are
[3:44]
Steven and Wynn Marsh, and we're going
[3:46]
to excuse Steven, who's out of town, but
[3:49]
invite Wynn to come on up. Thank you.
[3:55]
» [applause]
[3:56]
>> And Wynn were nominated by the Tooele
[3:58]
City Parks and Recreation Director
[4:00]
Darwin Cook for their outstanding
[4:01]
volunteer efforts in the community.
[4:03]
Steven and Wynn moved to Tooele 18
[4:05]
months ago to be closer to family in
[4:07]
Stansbury [clears throat] Park. Both
[4:08]
enjoy spending time outdoors hiking
[4:10]
trails and appreciating nature.
[4:12]
Something I also enjoy.
[4:14]
After being impressed by the community,
[4:16]
they looked for ways to give back and
[4:17]
help improve the city. The couple
[4:19]
frequently walked at England Acres Park
[4:21]
where they began picking weeds and
[4:22]
cleaning up trash along the trails.
[4:24]
They've also dedicated time to
[4:25]
maintaining the Bevin Detention Basin on
[4:27]
Brook Avenue by checking trees, ensuring
[4:29]
the water system is functioning
[4:31]
properly, pulling weeds and helping
[4:32]
keeping the area keep the area looking
[4:34]
clean and well cared for. Most recently,
[4:37]
Steven and Wynn removed three dump
[4:39]
trailer loads of tumbleweeds and garbage
[4:41]
[clears throat]
[4:42]
along 1000 North near the wall by the 55
[4:44]
and older community.
[4:46]
Their hard work and commitment have made
[4:47]
a noticeable difference in the
[4:48]
appearance and upkeep of the community.
[4:51]
So, we congratulate them. But before you
[4:52]
clap, um
[4:54]
Wynn told me that she was a little bit
[4:55]
embarrassed to be here receiving this
[4:57]
award by herself because she felt like
[4:58]
she had a team behind her. So, she would
[5:01]
also like to me to list um Marty
[5:05]
Randall, Carl Jensen, Lou Mishard
[5:09]

[5:11]
Horvath, Jerry Saltern, Madonna Saltern,
[5:14]
Carol DeShane, Pam Larson, Rick Larson,

Steve Newkirk, and Ornella Friscotti.
[5:20]
So,
[5:21]
it's awesome that all these people work
[5:23]
together to make our community better.
[5:24]
It does take leaders to organize that
[5:26]
awesomeness. So, we appreciate your

efforts in doing that. Thank you very

now the public's if anybody like to make
[14:04]
a public comment.
[14:09]
Seeing nobody rush to the podium to make
[14:11]
a comment, we'll close the public
[14:13]
comment period and we will
[14:15]
move on to item six on our agenda.
[14:20]
Item six is a public hearing and motion
[14:21]
on ordinance 2026-12,
[14:25]
an ordinance of the Tooele City Council
[14:27]
amending section 7-11A-17,
[14:31]
design standard walls and fences, adding
[14:33]
an exception as to the current fencing
[14:36]
requirements when a new
[14:39]
multi-family residential project is
[14:40]
constructed adjacent to an existing
[14:42]
fence. And that's presented by Ande
[14:44]
England, our city planner.
[15:10]
» Thank you.
[15:11]
>> [laughter]
[15:12]
>> Okay, so um
[15:15]
we had already discussed this um during
[15:18]
our work session today. Um it's a
[15:21]
current fence uh
[15:23]
or um
[15:25]
City Council decision for a text
[15:27]
amendment to uh to LA City Code 711A17,
[15:31]
um, regarding multi-family residential
[15:33]
design guidelines for fencing,
[15:36]
um, when fencing is required next to an
[15:39]
existing fence. So, um, we did get a
[15:43]
little bit of um
[15:46]
clarification
[15:47]
uh uh during the work session and um we
[15:51]
realized that there was a little bit of
[15:53]
a error in how we um
[15:56]
were interpreting what the request was
[15:59]
from the applicant.
[16:01]
And um
[16:02]
uh we were thinking that it was going to
[16:04]
be that he um that we were proposing to
[16:08]
exempt the full fence requirement um if
[16:11]
there's already an existing fence, but
[16:13]
that's not what was
[16:15]
the uh the applicant's request.
[16:17]
[clears throat] What the applicant's
[16:18]
request was uh to um remove the column
[16:22]
portion of the the fencing requirement
[16:25]
so that there wasn't as great of a gap
[16:28]
in between the two fences, the existing
[16:31]
fence and the proposed fence. And um
[16:35]
so we did want to kind of modify modify
[16:38]
what was proposed by Planning Commission
[16:40]
due to this misinterpretation or
[16:43]
miscommunication.
[16:44]
Um we do uh still
[16:48]
as we work through the work session, we
[16:51]
did uh feel that the Community
[16:53]
Development Director, as proposed by
[16:56]
Planning Commission, um
[16:59]
should go ahead or should remain as part
[17:02]
of this text amendment. And then all of
[17:05]
the other requirements basically
[17:09]
um that the applicant had submitted with
[17:12]
us with just maybe a little bit more
[17:14]
clarity that it's just for the column
[17:16]
only only and not for the entire fence.
[17:20]
Um and so that
[17:22]
being said, because it's not the
[17:25]
required fence, the two um
[17:29]
the two Senate or the two additional
[17:31]
requirements that um
[17:34]
uh the Planning Commission recommended
[17:37]
uh for this should which is in the red
[17:40]
on here um
[17:42]
>> [clears throat]
[17:42]
>> should go ahead and just be exempt from the approval
[17:47]
on um
[17:49]
this text amendment.
[17:51]
So um
[17:54]
I just I is there any other
[17:56]
clarification or any other discussion
[17:58]
you want to have
[18:00]
on this?
[18:01]
>> Are there any questions from the
[18:01]
council?
[18:03]
>> Okay.
[18:04]
>> All right.
[18:05]
Okay, thank you. This uh this
[18:08]
item has a public hearing.
[18:09]
>> It does. Yeah.
[18:11]
>> And so we will
[18:12]
um on move to the public hearing. The
[18:16]
If you'd like to come up to the podium
[18:17]
and address this item at the public
[18:20]
hearing, after you after you do that,
[18:22]
you need to go over and sign in over by
[18:25]
Shiloh after you are done. So we will
[18:27]
open the public hearing now.
[18:34]
» [clears throat]
[18:38]
» Thank you, Council. I didn't
[18:40]
Being the applicant, I'm not sure if you
[18:41]
want me to comment now or after public
[18:43]
hearing.
[18:43]
>> You can comment now.
[18:45]
>> All right. Thank you, sir. Um
[18:47]
I just Yeah, thank you for that great
[18:48]
clarification last time. The only The
[18:51]
few things we did want to bring up just
[18:52]
for further clarification. The way we
[18:54]
drafted it was
[18:56]
it it's not an automatic open that it
[18:58]
can just happen.
[18:59]
It says um the community director now,
[19:02]
development director, may approve it. So
[19:04]
if Andrew and Anna look at it and say,
[19:06]
"Hey, this isn't going to work." It's
[19:07]
not an automatic approval, so it's not
[19:09]
just an open of a floodgate. It's in
[19:11]
certain certain [clears throat]
[19:12]
situations. My other thing, too, I just
[19:14]
wanted to clarify, too, when we do these
[19:16]
runs
[19:18]
um for cosmetic for us, you know, that's
[19:20]
why we set a certain amount of defenses
[19:22]
have to be in. If we have a run, we
[19:25]
don't even if the fence isn't in in all
[19:27]
two or three homes, but the majority of
[19:28]
them they are, we don't want to have
[19:29]
columns and then not columns just from
[19:31]
an aesthetic purpose. So, I just wanted
[19:33]
to clarify that that the purpose of this is in these runs
[19:38]
that we have for lack of a better word
[19:40]
of the fence that it would all be
[19:41]
conforming to no columns in that
[19:43]
section.
[19:45]
So.
[19:46]
I'll be around if you have questions.
[19:47]
>> All right. Thank you. You need to sign
[19:49]
in over there where you're at.
[19:58]
Okay, seeing no one else come forward,
[20:00]
we will
[20:01]
uh close the public hearing and uh turn
[20:04]
it over to the council for a motion.
[20:06]
>> Um Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion that we
[20:10]
move forward with ordinance
[20:13]
Lost my place here. 2026-12 an ordinance
[20:16]
of the Tooele City Council amending
[20:18]
section 7-11 A-17 design standards walls
[20:22]
and fences adding an exemption to the
[20:25]
current fencing requirements when a new
[20:27]
multi-family residential project is
[20:29]
constructed adjacent to existing fencing
[20:33]
um and I guess just striking six and
[20:36]
seven off of the items that are in red.
[20:39]
>> And if you can clarify that you're
[20:41]
referencing exhibit E as well. I know I I apologize. I know we have
[20:46]
several versions. If you're looking at
[20:48]
E, if we can clarify that.
[20:49]
>> Exhibit [clears throat] E striking six
[20:51]
and or or excuse me, six and seven,
[20:53]
yeah.
[20:54]
>> Thank you.
[20:56]
>> I'll second.
[20:56]
>> A motion We have a motion by Councilman
[20:58]
Gasser. We have a second by Councilman
[21:00]
McCall. Uh we'll take it to a vote.
[21:02]
Councilman Gasser.
[21:03]
>> Aye.
[21:04]
>> Councilman McCall.
[21:05]
>> Aye.
[21:06]
>> Councilwoman Goocher?
[21:08]
>> Aye.
[21:09]
>> And I'm Councilman Hanson and I also
[21:11]

sections of the Tooele City Business
[21:35]

[21:40]
>> Okay. So, um as we discussed in our um
[21:45]
uh our workshop meeting earlier, uh
[21:48]
this is just uh clarification to bring
[21:52]
um the the um Tooele City Business Park
[21:56]
zoning
[21:57]
um
[21:58]
uh
[21:58]
heavier residential or section C
[22:02]
uh to
[22:03]
be conforming with the rest of our
[22:05]
heavier industrial zoning districts um
[22:08]
to um
[22:10]
remove
[22:13]
all of the landscaping requirements as
[22:15]
you see above. And then [clears throat]
[22:17]
uh planning commission did make one
[22:19]
recommendation to clarify uh the the
[22:23]
irrigation use solely for the
[22:25]
establishment of vegetation within
[22:27]
disturbed areas shall not be required to
[22:30]
be permanent. So, they just want it to
[22:33]
have clarification that this does not
[22:36]
mean that irrigation to reestablish
[22:38]
reseeding is permanent. Um
[22:42]
Any questions on this or
[22:46]
>> Any questions from the council?
[22:48]

[22:48]
>> I know we discussed that in our work
[22:50]

[26:03]
We'll go to item nine on our agenda
[26:05]
which is the Library Annual Report
[26:07]
presented by Chase Randal, our Library
[26:09]
Director.
[26:10]
>> All right, good evening Council. So here
[26:12]
we have my PowerPoint for my annual
[26:14]
report to you so you can see what
[26:17]
the tax dollars are being used for at at
[26:19]
the Tualatin City Library.
[26:21]
If you go to the next slide.
[26:23]
So here you have the breakdown of our
[26:25]
statistics from our last inventory. So
[26:27]
every November we close the library for
[26:30]
a couple of days the day the week of
[26:31]
Thanksgiving and we inventory
[26:33]
everything. We go through and scan every
[26:35]
single
[26:37]
item in the collection and we have and
[26:39]
then all the staff we do a little
[26:40]
potluck and we call it scans-giving. So
[26:42]
that's our our annual tradition at the
[26:44]
library. So this year as you can see
[26:46]
here we had 44,751
[26:49]
physical items. That includes books,
[26:51]
movies and our special collections or
[26:52]
Spark sets. And then as far as
[26:54]
electronic items, so this would be
[26:56]
ebooks, e-audiobooks, videos, etc.
[26:58]
that's available online through the
[27:00]
Libby app, we had 492,154
[27:04]
items. And through Kanopy, which is
[27:06]
where you can stream movies and TV
[27:07]
shows, we had 37,279
[27:11]
movies or TV shows that were available
[27:13]
for patrons to use to view.
[27:15]
And we had 87 items that grew legs and
[27:18]
wandered off,
[27:19]
um which is a little bit higher this last year, but that's well within
[27:23]
kind of the normal range. Every year
[27:24]
there's items that disappear.
[27:27]
Um so next, here's our different usage
[27:29]
statistics so for fiscal year 26. So
[27:33]
this last year we had 163,053
[27:36]
visits total to the library, and that
[27:39]
averages about to 13,387
[27:41]
[clears throat] a month.
[27:42]
Um we have 10,347
[27:45]
active card holders, um so that's a 10%
[27:48]
increase over last year. So that means
[27:50]
that those are cards that are actively
[27:52]
being used and that have been actively
[27:54]
renewed in the last year. So we have
[27:56]
more card holders, but their cards have
[27:58]
now gone inactive that they haven't used
[28:00]
them.
[28:01]
Um and we have our non-residents, we
[28:03]
have 978 non-resident cards, that's
[28:06]
about 9% of our total with the lion's
[28:08]
share of that being Stansbury and Erda.
[28:12]
And still plenty of Grantsville and in
[28:13]
Stockton as well.
[28:15]
So that means that about 24% of Tooele
[28:17]
City residents have a Tooele City
[28:19]
library card. And we in this last year
[28:22]
we also had 178,770
[28:26]
checkouts or renewals, which is about
[28:28]
61% of our total circulation, and
[28:31]
114,438
[28:33]
digital checkouts. So that's Libby and
[28:35]
Kanopy, the movie and TV show streaming.
[28:38]
So you can see we're running about that
[28:39]
60/40 between physical items and
[28:42]
digital, and I would expect that that'll
[28:44]
probably stay the same, maybe increase a
[28:46]
little bit more with the the digital
[28:48]
circulation.
[28:49]
Uh but we're holding steady there.
[28:51]
Next slide. So, this last year uh we
[28:54]
filled two positions in the last
[28:55]
calendar year. We had one full-time
[28:57]
library tech position that we filled
[28:58]
with an internal applicant who went from
[29:00]
part-time to full-time. And then we
[29:01]
hired a new part-time library tech um
[29:04]
and they've both been excellent
[29:05]
additions to the team and they've been
[29:07]
doing really, really well.
[29:08]
This last year and so in fiscal year 25,
[29:10]
the library brought in about $38,014.02
[29:14]
um in total revenue, and that's a 15%
[29:17]
increase from the previous year. And you
[29:18]
can see I have it broken down there that
[29:20]
the miscellaneous fees was $11,699.12.
[29:24]
That covers basically for people who
[29:27]
come in to get do get a fax or um
[29:30]
or to print black and white or color.
[29:32]
So, that basically just covers the cop
[29:34]
covers the cost of the printers, the
[29:36]
paper, and the ink.
[29:38]
Um and then our circ fees was
[29:40]
$26,314.90.
[29:42]
That's our non-resident fees as well as
[29:45]
people paying for damaged items, lost
[29:47]
items, etc.
[29:49]
And then you can see I compared that to
[29:51]
the fiscal year 24 total, which was
[29:52]
$33,021.32
[29:55]
and the comparative numbers. So, we're
[29:56]
increasing. We're noticing that this is
[29:58]
this corresponds with obviously
[30:00]
increased usage of the library, of more
[30:02]
people paying for books that get
[30:03]
damaged, more people getting
[30:04]
non-resident cards, and more people
[30:06]
using our printing services.
[30:10]
As far as technology utilization, we had
[30:12]
22,159
[30:13]
uses of our public computers or Wi-Fi um
[30:16]
in fiscal year 25, which was a 10%
[30:18]
increase from the previous year. Um 46%
[30:21]
of that was from our public computers,
[30:23]
42% from the library Wi-Fi that we
[30:25]
offer, and then 12% came from the Wi-Fi
[30:28]
at the Aquatic Center and the Del Papa
[30:29]
parks. I will note though that this will
[30:31]
be the last year that that last line
[30:33]
will appear on this report um because
[30:35]
UEN is cutting the cutting the support
[30:38]
for that system that we were using to do
[30:40]
the Wi-Fi at the parks cuz we have a big
[30:42]
antenna on top of the library that was
[30:44]
broadcasting the Wi-Fi to those parks,
[30:46]
and that service is being pulled. So,
[30:48]
next year that won't be on there.
[30:50]
Um just for your information.
[30:53]
And then lastly, we have our library
[30:55]
programs. So, in summer 2025, we had
[30:58]
3,185,738
[31:01]
total minutes read, which was 300,000
[31:02]
[clears throat]
[31:03]
more than last year. So, a little bit
[31:05]
over 10%. You notice that's kind of a
[31:07]
theme throughout this whole
[31:08]
presentation. We're up 10% and
[31:11]
in that range on most of our statistics.
[31:13]
Um and same thing, we had 1,671
[31:16]
active participants in our summer
[31:17]
reading program, which was 150 more than
[31:20]
the previous year. So, if any of you
[31:22]
haven't signed up, got to sign up and
[31:24]
start reading and log your minutes on
[31:26]
Beanstack.
[31:27]
Um and then for our story time, tween,
[31:29]
and teen activities, young adult, and
[31:31]
adult programs, we had 282 programs in
[31:33]
fiscal year 2025, and we had total
[31:36]
attendance of 14,801
[31:38]
at all those different programs. And you
[31:40]
can see there's a photo from one of our
[31:42]
programs that we had.
[31:44]
So, as far as our projects, um in fiscal
[31:47]
year 20 in this last fiscal year 2026
[31:49]
since I last gave my presentation to
[31:51]
you,
[31:52]
um we got a new printing system for
[31:54]
patrons. So, this mostly didn't it
[31:56]
didn't change too much from the patron
[31:57]
side, but this has um resulted in easier
[32:00]
um it's easier now for people to print
[32:02]
stuff at the library. We got an upgrade
[32:04]
there cuz the old the system was getting
[32:06]
phased out, so we upgraded. Another big
[32:09]
change is I'm dragging the library
[32:11]
kicking and screaming into the 21st
[32:13]
century that you can now pay for stuff
[32:15]
online at the library. So, if you need
[32:17]
to pay a fee or a replacement card, or
[32:19]
for our non-residents, rather than
[32:21]
forcing them to come into the library to
[32:23]
make that $40 a year payment, they can
[32:25]
just go online and make that payment
[32:27]
now.
[32:28]
Um and then another big project that you
[32:30]
can see here in this photo is we
[32:31]
xeriscaped we made water-wise
[32:33]
landscaping on the north side. And in
[32:35]
that picture, you can see where there's
[32:37]
going to be three trees that will be
[32:38]
planted. So, we have a drip zone already
[32:40]
set up. So, I'm just coordinating with
[32:42]
the Parks and Rec Department to get some
[32:43]
trees planted there.
[32:45]
So, that was a big project that was done
[32:47]
this last year. And a project that's
[32:48]
actually ongoing currently is we're
[32:50]
getting new thermostats and actuators
[32:52]
for the HVAC system, [clears throat]
[32:53]
which that should result in better
[32:55]
control for the HVAC system as well as
[32:57]
cost savings um well, especially once we
[33:00]
get the new chiller.
[33:01]
Um and then we also did a minor remodel
[33:04]
of our children's area that we had a
[33:06]
desk there that was just taking up
[33:07]
space. Um we worked with a local
[33:10]
contractor and he removed that and now
[33:11]
we have more space in the library and
[33:13]
taking better advantage of that space
[33:15]
usage. And then the other big thing is
[33:17]
we got new study pods for the patrons.
[33:20]
Um so, that if you want a quiet room to
[33:21]
study, to read, talk on the phone, or
[33:25]
whatever it might be, we've got um three
[33:27]
new study pods and I'll show you some
[33:28]
pictures of those on the next slide. And
[33:30]
then the other big thing is we got a new
[33:32]
black and white printer for the patrons
[33:34]
to use. And it is a significant upgrade.
[33:36]
The old printer was just not very good.
[33:38]
So, we're very happy to get that new
[33:39]
one. You know, so here you can see on
[33:42]
the on um
[33:44]
on [clears throat] the left side, you
[33:45]
can see we have two individual study
[33:46]
pods that we just got. Um so, those are
[33:49]
for patrons obviously. You can uh single
[33:51]
person to be able to be in there. And
[33:52]
then we got the one on the right. Um
[33:54]
it's a four-person study pod and it we
[33:56]
actually got that from the North Logan
[33:57]
Library. They were getting rid of it.
[33:59]
So, we got a really great deal on it.
[34:01]
And I I shout out to our um city
[34:03]
maintenance team that uh we all have we
[34:06]
hopped in a truck with a trailer and we
[34:07]
drove up and spent the better part of a
[34:09]
day taking it apart and bringing it back
[34:11]
down here. So, that was a good long day,
[34:13]
but we got a we were able to get that
[34:14]
down here for a really good price and
[34:16]
it's um been really nice for the patrons
[34:18]
to have. So, that way if our reading
[34:20]
rooms are full, that they now our
[34:21]
patrons now have other options for that
[34:23]
kind of that quiet room for meetings,
[34:25]
phone calls, etc. So, I'll be happy to
[34:28]
take any questions from the council this
[34:29]
time.
[34:30]
>> Any questions from the council?
[34:32]
>> No. good job.
[34:33]
>> Okay, thank you.
[34:34]
>> Yeah, I got to say great job Chase. You
[34:36]
got lots of great things going, lots of
[34:37]
people involved. That's great.
[34:39]
>> Okay, and thank you for your support.
[34:44]
» All right, we will move to item 10 on
[34:45]
the agenda. It's resolution 2026-30,
[34:49]
a resolution of the Tooele City Council
[34:50]
approving and ratifying an agreement
[34:52]
with Broken Arrow Incorporated for the
[34:54]
7th Street storm drain improvements,
[34:57]
500 North to Birch Street, presented by
[35:00]
Nathan Farr, our public works director.
[35:02]
>> We appreciate you
[35:04]
Council approving this project
[35:06]
while [clears throat] we were
[35:07]
missing a
[35:09]
Council meeting.
[35:10]
We've
[35:12]
been able to work closely with Broken
[35:14]
Arrow for a while and they were the the
[35:17]
low bid on on this this project and have
[35:20]
commenced potholing and getting ready to
[35:23]
start major construction. So, we're
[35:26]
looking forward to having this storm
[35:27]
drain implemented in this area and
[35:29]
hopefully take care of some of that
[35:30]
heavy flow that comes down
[35:32]
off of 7th Street.
[35:34]
>> And so, for public just aware that we
[35:37]
did approve this
[35:39]
before and it's got started, but we are
[35:40]
just going to ratify it on a resolution
[35:42]
tonight. So, uh
[35:45]
I'll bring that back to the council for a motion.
[35:49]
>> I'll make a motion
[35:50]
that we approve resolution 2026-30,
[35:53]
a resolution of Tooele City Council
[35:56]
approving and ratifying an agreement
[35:57]
with Broken Arrow Inc. for the 7th
[35:59]
Street storm drain improvements, 500
[36:02]
North to Birch Street.
[36:04]
>> I'll second.
[36:06]
>> Okay, we have a motion by Councilwoman
[36:07]
Golsan and a second by Councilwoman
[36:09]
McCall. Let's take it to a vote.
[36:11]
Councilwoman Goches.
[36:13]
>> I.
[36:14]
>> Councilwoman McCall.
[36:15]
>> I.
[36:15]
>> Councilwoman Golsan.
[36:16]
>> I.
[36:17]
>> And Councilman Hanson, I vote also vote
[36:19]

[36:22]
Okay, thank you Nathan. We'll move to
[36:24]
item 11, resolution 20 on our agenda
[36:27]
resolution 2026-11
[36:30]
a resolution of the Tooele City Council
[36:32]
authorizing the mayor to sign the
[36:33]
contract with Paul Hansen Associates LLC
[36:36]
for city engineering services as
[36:38]
presented by our Mayor Mantion.
[36:40]
>> Thank you, Council. Um as you have in
[36:43]
your packet, you have a contract for our
[36:45]
contract engineer
[36:47]
um Paul Hansen, who has served for with
[36:49]
Tooele City for about 27 years.
[36:51]
He um
[36:53]
and when we have contract services with
[36:56]
Mr. Hansen, he comes with not just
[36:58]
himself, but also assistant and interns
[37:00]
as necessary [clears throat] to provide
[37:02]
services for the city. And to although
[37:04]
he is a contract engineer, he does spend
[37:07]
the bulk of his time here at the city.
[37:09]
So is
[37:10]
always accessible for our staff and for
[37:13]
myself and the council as needed and has
[37:16]
provided some great service for Tooele.
[37:18]
Is very well knowledgeable about our
[37:20]
water situation and the water shares and
[37:22]
well recognized throughout the state for
[37:24]
his knowledge in water. So um his
[37:27]
contract is due on July 1st, of this year and so I'm
[37:32]
presenting it to you for
[37:34]
um authorization to sign that contract
[37:36]
for another four-year term.
[37:39]
>> All [snorts] right, thank you, Mayor. Um
[37:40]
do we have any questions?
[37:43]
>> Mayor Mantion, I've got one question and thanks again, 26 years, holy cow.
[37:49]
So
[37:50]
the only thing is as looking through the
[37:52]
contract that I wondered about now
[37:55]
knowing that I said Paul and I both dye
[37:58]
our hair this color just so that we can
[38:00]
get the senior discount, but
[38:02]
um at some point in time
[38:06]
you're going to retire and I'm just
[38:09]
wondering if we have any plan in place
[38:12]
for succession whenever that ends up
[38:14]
being
[38:16]
to
[38:17]
have somebody up to speed at that point.
[38:21]
>> Well, you're welcome to come talk if
[38:23]
you'd like. Um
[38:26]
you know, I talked to Miss DePauw about
[38:28]
his plans and we're not going to hold
[38:31]
him to anything, but he says he's not
[38:32]
going to retire for the next 4 years.
[38:34]
>> That's correct. It's not my intent to
[38:36]
retire within this next time period.
[38:38]
>> Yeah.
[38:39]
>> Of course things change and the
[38:40]
provision of the contract is is that
[38:43]
changes can be made.
[38:44]
>> Uh-huh.
[38:45]
>> You know, at the discretion of the
[38:46]
council or myself, but it's my intent to
[38:48]
continue supporting the city as we can.
[38:52]
>> My question was really just like at at
[38:54]
the point that you
[38:55]
announce that that's going to happen,
[38:57]
whenever it is,
[38:59]
I just worry that somebody's up to speed
[39:02]
so that there's not a gap in
[39:04]
>> We will do [clears throat] everything we
[39:05]
can to make sure that that gap is not
[39:08]
left open.
[39:11]
» I think it's a difficult
[39:13]
question to answer because
[39:17]
first of all, we can't afford really to
[39:19]
two engineers at the same time. So,
[39:21]
well, when that time comes, we're going
[39:23]
to have to think of you know, when we
[39:25]
hire, for instance, we're we have
[39:27]
recently hired a new
[39:29]
deputy recorder and she has a current
[39:33]
job now, but they're kind of overlapping
[39:35]
for a little while. So, when it comes
[39:37]
that point, we are going to have to have
[39:38]
a plan for some overlap, but it
[39:41]
probably at the in this time of the
[39:43]
city's budget, it's not going to be
[39:45]
something like a year or 2 years, which
[39:48]
would be awesome to be able to share
[39:50]
information, but I have been to Paul's
[39:53]
office. He has really good records.
[39:55]
A mayor would also have good records and
[39:57]
they're hard to find sometimes. So,
[39:59]
there's that. A little bit of a
[40:00]
challenge that way.
[40:02]
Um but, you know, I I think there does
[40:04]
have to be a transition plan at some
[40:05]
point. Um
[40:08]
it's something to consider, but just by
[40:10]
sitting next to somebody also, you can't
[40:12]
absorb all their knowledge. That's the hard part, you know, I came
[40:15]
from the city council where
[40:17]
in theory you step right in to be mayor
[40:19]
and it's easy. It's It's not.
[40:22]
>> Yeah.
[40:22]
>> You know, I I didn't know I know some of
[40:24]
the things. I don't know all the things.
[40:25]
So, a new engineer is going to know some
[40:26]
of the things, not all of the things,
[40:28]
and that is going to be a learning curve
[40:29]
for the city. It's It's going to be a
[40:31]
challenge.
[40:33]
>> And your city engineer that has 26 years
[40:35]
experience doesn't know everything any
[40:37]
either.
[40:38]
We learn every day.
[40:39]
>> I think that's all of us in all that we
[40:41]
do. Yes.
[40:43]
>> My My philosophy is the day we stop
[40:44]
learning is the day we shouldn't
[40:46]
>> Okay.
[40:46]
>> continue on.
[40:47]
>> I agree. But I I think as a city we need
[40:49]
to
[40:49]
>> Yeah, we're still learning in fact.
[40:50]
>> focus on that we know that's coming and
[40:53]
we need to plan for it is what the key
[40:55]
is.
[40:56]
>> I think you're right.
[40:57]
>> Yeah.
[40:59]
» Thanks.
[41:01]
>> Any other questions?
[41:05]
» All right. Uh
[41:06]
Council, if we come back and make a
[41:09]
to give a motion on this resolution.
[41:11]
>> Yeah, Mr. Chair, I make a motion we
[41:12]
approve resolution 2026-31.
[41:16]
A resolution of the Tooele City Council
[41:17]
authorizing the mayor
[41:19]
to sign a contract with Paul Hansen's
[41:21]
Associates LLC
[41:23]
for city engineering services.
[41:25]
>> I'll second it.
[41:27]
>> Okay, we have a motion by Councilwoman
[41:29]
McCullen and a second by Councilwoman
[41:30]
Gose. We'll bring it to a vote. Uh
[41:32]
Councilwoman McCullen?
[41:33]
>> Aye.
[41:34]
>> Councilwoman Mangan, uh
[41:36]
coaches?
[41:38]
>> [laughter]
[41:38]
>> Sorry. Sorry, Mayor.
[41:43]
» Councilman Gose?
[41:44]
>> Aye.
[41:45]
>> And I'm Councilman Hansen, I will also
[41:47]
vote aye. That passes four to zero.
[41:50]
Okay, we'll move on to item 12,
[41:53]
resolution 26 2026-32, a resolution of
[41:57]
the Tooele City Council declaring Tooele
[41:59]
City's commitment to
[42:01]
fostering compassion and inclusiveness
[42:05]
inclusivity
[42:07]
as core civic values, establishing April
[42:10]
12th as a yearly day of kindness and
[42:13]
authorizing the mayor to implement
[42:15]
corresponding municipal programs and
[42:17]
this presented by our mayor.
[42:18]
>> Thank you. This actually comes from our
[42:20]
community engagement department and they
[42:22]
thought along with service comes
[42:24]
kindness. So they've been working with
[42:25]
one kind act a day to designate us as a
[42:28]
city of kindness. So what it does is it
[42:30]
establishes that day of kindness on
[42:32]
April 12th, which is a nationally
[42:34]
recognized day
[42:36]
to promote and celebrate acts of
[42:38]
kindness, generosity, and capacity
[42:39]
compassion within the community. It
[42:42]
encourages community engagement, which
[42:44]
as you know, we have a very
[42:46]
small but robust community engagement
[42:48]
department that engages
[42:51]
in a lot of activities throughout our
[42:52]
community.
[42:53]
Public awareness about the day of
[42:55]
kindness
[42:56]
>> [clears throat]
[42:56]
>> and implementation plan, which the
[42:58]
community engagement department has
[43:00]
already come up with and then an annual
[43:03]
review to make sure that we're
[43:04]
fulfilling
[43:05]
the requirements of the program and to
[43:07]
consider if we want to continue.
[43:09]
So I don't think kindness is bad. I
[43:11]
think it goes along with what we're
[43:12]
doing and I think we could use more of
[43:13]
it in our community.
[43:16]
>> Agreed. Yes.
[43:17]
Any questions for the mayor?
[43:20]
Okay, I'll bring it back to the council
[43:21]
for a vote.
[43:22]
>> Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion that we
[43:24]
approve resolution 2026-32,
[43:27]
resolution of Tooele City Council
[43:29]
declaring Tooele City's commitment to
[43:31]
fostering compassion and inclusivity as
[43:34]
core civic values establishing April
[43:36]
12th as a yearly day of kindness and
[43:38]
author- I authorizing the mayor to
[43:41]
implement corresponding municipal
[43:43]
programs.
[43:44]
>> I'll second.
[43:45]
>> We got a motion from Councilman Gasa, a
[43:47]
second from Councilman McColl.
[43:50]
Councilman Gasa?
[43:51]
>> Aye.
[43:52]
>> Councilwoman Grotches?
[43:55]
>> Aye.
[43:56]
>> Councilman McColl?
[43:57]
>> Aye.
[43:57]
>> And I also vote aye, so that passes 4 to
[44:01]
0.
[44:02]
Item 13 on our agenda is resolution
[44:04]
2026-33,
[44:07]
a resolution of the Tooele City Council
[44:08]
approving audit agreement with Larson
[44:10]
and Company PC Certified Public
[44:13]
Accountants and that's presented by
[44:14]
Shannon Wimber our finance director.
[44:17]
>> Uh good evening Council. This is uh to
[44:19]
renew our contract for our yearly audit.
[44:21]
Uh we've had a prior 5-year contract
[44:24]
with them. That was the first contract
[44:25]
that we had with Larson
[44:27]
um and Company and excuse me, so it's
[44:30]
time for us to renew that contract. So
[44:31]
we are asking to sign another 5-year
[44:33]
contract with them. Um if you look on
[44:36]
page 13, you'll see the proposed fees
[44:39]
and um
[44:40]
it's it's very surprising to me with all
[44:42]
of the increases that we've seen in
[44:44]
every other area that we are still
[44:46]
keeping the audit very affordable. Um
[44:49]
there's hardly any increase from last
[44:50]
year and if you look over the next 5
[44:52]
years, um it's $2,000 or less increase
[44:55]
per year for the services um that
[44:57]
they're willing to provide. So I think
[44:59]
we're getting a great value for our
[45:01]
money with Larson and Company. They've
[45:02]
been doing a great job for us. Um and
[45:06]
their work is also reviewed by the state
[45:08]
and we haven't had any feedback any
[45:10]
negative feedback from the state from
[45:11]
them as well. So we're very happy uh
[45:14]
with their services.
[45:15]
>> Thank you. Do you mind just saying for
[45:16]
the public's what that number is that
[45:18]
we're paying them?
[45:19]
>> Uh so for 2026, it'll be $38,800.
[45:23]
>> Okay. And then
[45:24]
>> we need a single audit, uh so a single
[45:26]
audit is if you have federal funds over
[45:28]
I believe they just changed the limit to
[45:29]
750,000.
[45:31]
Uh that would be an additional 4,200.
[45:33]
>> Okay.
[45:35]
All right. Thank you. I appreciate that.
[45:36]
We'll bring that this back to the count.
[45:39]
Oh, is there any questions first of all?
[45:41]
Um seeing none. Okay, we'll bring that
[45:43]
back to the council for uh vote.
[45:46]
>> Mr. Chair, I make a motion that we
[45:47]
approve
[45:49]
resolution 2026-33
[45:52]
a resolution of of a resolution
[45:54]
[clears throat] of Tooele City
[45:55]
Council approving audit agreement with
[45:57]
Larson and Company PC Certified
[46:00]
Accountants.
[46:02]
>> I'll second that.
[46:03]
>> Public Accountants, sorry.
[46:05]
>> Okay, well, we got a motion from
[46:07]
Councilwoman McCollum and a second from
[46:09]
Councilwoman Gossett. We'll take it to
[46:11]
vote to a vote. Councilwoman McCollum?
[46:13]
>> Aye.
[46:13]
>> Councilwoman Goches? [clears throat]
[46:16]
>> Aye.
[46:16]
>> Councilwoman Gossett?
[46:18]
>> Aye.
[46:18]
>> And Councilwoman Hansen I have to vote
[46:20]
aye, so that passes 4 to 0.
[46:22]
Item number 14 on our agenda is
[46:24]
resolution 2026-29.
[46:27]
A resolution of the Tooele City Council
[46:28]
authorizing the Tooele City purchasing agent to dispose of surplus
[46:33]
personal property.
[46:36]
A whole bunch of vehicles.
[46:38]
>> A whole bunch of vehicles.
[46:38]
>> Yeah.
[46:39]
This is presented by Shiloh Baker, our
[46:41]
city recorder.
[46:42]
>> Thank you, Council. And if you would
[46:44]
allow me quickly, I just want to, as
[46:46]
this is Loretta's last
[46:48]
council meeting, I'd like to just
[46:49]
personally thank her. And then, as the
[46:51]
mayor alluded, we have hired a new um
[46:55]
deputy city recorder, and so I'd like to
[46:57]
introduce Clarissa Pancratz as our
[47:00]
new deputy recorder, and thank
[47:04]
Loretta for all she's done, and welcome
[47:06]
Clarissa.
[47:09]
All right. So, back to the resolutions,
[47:11]
surplussing public works vehicles. Um
[47:14]
the public works department currently
[47:16]
has eight vehicles that are
[47:18]
that we are requesting Council declare a
[47:20]
surplus. They are listed out for you in
[47:23]
your packet. These vehicles no longer
[47:25]
meet our operational needs and have
[47:27]
[clears throat] reached their end of
[47:28]
useful service lives for Tooele City.
[47:31]
All of the vehicles are more than 10
[47:32]
years old, and most
[47:35]
a
[47:36]
good chunk are approaching 20 years of
[47:38]
age or more.
[47:39]
Um these vehicles were all originally
[47:41]
part of [snorts] the police department
[47:42]
fleet, and have since been reassigned to
[47:45]
various city departments over the years.
[47:47]
Due to their age and condition, they
[47:49]
require frequent repairs, ongoing
[47:51]
maintenance, and which results in
[47:54]
increased costs and reduced liability of
[47:56]
those vehicles. So, in accordance with
[47:58]
city policy, we are requesting that the
[48:00]
council declare these vehicles a surplus
[48:02]
property, and upon approval, we propose
[48:05]
to dispose of all of the vehicles
[48:07]
through auction.
[48:09]
>> Okay, any questions for Shiloh this
[48:11]
time?
[48:13]
Okay, we will
[48:16]
Thank you. We will
[48:19]
bring it out to the council for a vote.
[48:21]
>> Mr. Chair, I'll make a motion that we
[48:24]
approve resolution 2026-29,
[48:26]
a resolution of Tooele City Council
[48:29]
authorizing the Tooele City purchasing
[48:31]
agent to dispose of surplus personal
[48:33]
property, public works vehicles.
[48:36]
>> I'll second.
[48:41]
» Let me turn my phone off.
[48:43]
Okay, so we have a motion from Councilman Gossett and a
[48:49]
second by Councilman McCall. We'll bring
[48:51]
it to a vote. Councilwoman Gochis.
[48:54]
>> Aye.
[48:55]
>> Councilman McCall.
[48:56]
>> Aye.
[48:57]
>> Councilman Gossett.
[48:58]
>> Aye.
[48:58]
>> I'm Councilman Hanson, I also also vote
[49:00]
aye, so that passes 4 to 0.
[49:03]
>> Thank you.
[49:05]
>> And then we'll
[49:06]
move to item number 15, resolution
[49:08]
2026-24.
[49:11]
A resolution of the Tooele City Council
[49:12]
authorizing the Tooele City purchasing
[49:13]
agent to dispose of
[49:16]
surplus property from the public works
[49:18]
department and streets department.
[49:21]
And that's presented by Shiloh Baker,
[49:22]
our public or city recorder.
[49:25]
>> Thank you. So, resolution 2026-34
[49:29]
is also surplus property. This is
[49:31]
equipment from the streets division of
[49:33]
the public works department. Um also in
[49:36]
your packet, um they're requesting
[49:39]
a 10-ft 1-ton Salter hydraulic, a 14-ft
[49:44]
10-wheeler Salter hydraulic, a line
[49:46]
striper, a drag behind laydown box, and
[49:50]
a sign hammer drill breaker. Again, this
[49:53]
equipment no longer meets our
[49:54]
operational needs and has reached the
[49:56]
end of their useful service lives. Due
[49:59]
to the age, condition, and maintenance
[50:00]
requirements, the items before you are
[50:02]
no longer practical or cost-effective
[50:04]
for the city to continue using these
[50:06]
assets and have not been used in some
[50:08]
time.
[50:09]
In accordance with city policy, we're
[50:11]
requesting that the council declare
[50:13]
these pieces of equipment as surplus
[50:15]
property and upon approval, we will we
[50:18]
propose to dispose of all the equipment
[50:20]
through auction.
[50:22]
>> Any questions from the council?
[50:25]
I'll bring that to the council for a
[50:27]
motion.
[50:29]
>> Mr. Chair, make a motion we approve
[50:30]
resolution 2026-34.
[50:33]
A resolution of the Tooele City Council
[50:35]
authorizing the Tooele City
[50:37]
purchasing agent to dispose of surplus
[50:39]
prop- personal property, Public Works
[50:42]
Department Street Division equipment.
[50:45]
>> I'll second it.
[50:47]
>> Okay, we have a motion from Councilman
[50:49]
McCall and a second from Councilman
[50:50]
Hanson. We'll bring it to a vote.
[50:52]
Councilman Gosiap?
[50:52]
>> Aye.
[50:53]
>> Councilwoman Gochis?
[50:55]
>> Aye.
[50:56]
>> Councilwoman McCall?
[50:57]
>> Aye.
[50:58]
>> Councilman Hanson, I also vote aye. That
[50:59]
passes 4 to 0.
[51:01]
We will go to item 16 on our agenda,
[51:03]
which is invoices and purchase orders.
[51:06]
Again, presented by Shilo Baker, our
[51:08]
city recorder.
[51:09]
>> Thank you. We have two invoices for you
[51:11]
tonight. The first is to Dell Marketing
[51:14]
LP in the amount of $32,397.16.
[51:21]
Um, this is to replace core networking
[51:24]
equipment. The warranty on this
[51:26]
equipment ends next year and that old
[51:28]
equipment needs to be replaced as it's
[51:31]
out of warranty.
[51:34]
» Just one invoice?
[51:35]
>> Oh, sorry.
[51:36]
I was waiting for you to say yes.
[51:38]
>> [laughter]
[51:38]
>> Sorry.
[51:39]
