[1:06] So we need. [1:09] For instance, we have known. [1:23] Robert. [1:29] Contacted. [1:31] No, wait, it was you. [1:32] Yeah, we should be able to do it for. [1:35] The whole year. [1:37] So that way it's just a sign. OK, Yeah. [1:40] But Parker's not here either. [1:42] So. [1:49] I guess we can, the council, we can decide to do it. Yes, they. [1:57] Yeah, the four of you can decide. [1:59] Who it will be? [2:00] Just nominate someone. [2:02] And then get a consensus. [2:07] 2nd. [2:08] Yeah, that worked. There's someone sick, the person that. [2:13] Just a second, Jake. [2:17] All in favor. [2:19] Aye, Kay. [2:21] David will be mayor Pro Tem. [2:33] OK. [2:36] I'd like to call our meeting to order. It's May 5th, 2026. [2:41] At. [2:42] Looks like 1206 maybe? [2:45] And I'd like to open the council meeting and we'd like to start with an invocation. [2:50] And. [2:51] And a Pledge of Allegiance? Was anyone by chance invited to? [2:55] Do the invocation of the pledge. [2:59] Cool. [3:00] We have a volunteer. [3:02] I would like to give our opening prayer for us. [3:06] Jacob, how about you? [3:09] Thank you. [3:13] Dearly, Father. [3:15] Thank you for the stay. Thank you. [3:17] For giving us the opportunity. [3:19] To do the people's business. [3:20] Blessed that we may all. [3:23] Be safe in our endeavors. [3:25] And that we may. [3:27] Going go on. [3:28] And do the. [3:30] The people's work to the best our abilities. [3:32] And I say he seen his name, just Christ. Amen. Amen. [3:43] I pledge allegiance to. [3:46] United States. [4:07] Thank you very much. You get a pin now, I'll go. [4:10] Get a flag pin. [4:13] OK. [4:15] We started now with public comments, that's the first thing. So this will be, these will be comments directed to the council. [4:22] On any topic that's not already on the agenda. [4:25] Those things will handle when we get there. [4:27] So if anyone has a comment they'd like to make, now is the time. [4:31] Please come on up. [4:38] So I count to 6 and no one stands up. Are we good? [4:42] OK. Thank you very much and we'll close public comment period. [4:46] Move to consent items. [4:48] Item number 4 on our agenda. This is the. [4:50] Contains 41 the approval of March 2620. [4:54] 26 Council meeting. [4:56] Minutes. As for the March, also the March 31st. [4:59] And the April 21st? [5:01] Meeting minutes. [5:02] So I would entertain a motion to. [5:08] To approve those. [5:09] I move to approve the consent items as presented 4.14 point 2 and 4.3. [5:17] Second, OK. [5:20] All in favor say aye. [5:21] Aye, aye. [5:25] Aye. [5:26] So the consent items passed. [5:28] We approve the minutes. [5:30] Moving on to the business section. [5:32] We're at and that is Proclamation 202602, recognizing the 57th Annual Professional Municipal Clerks Week. [5:41] From May 3rd to 9th. [5:43] This is to recognize the dedicated service of municipal clerks worldwide. [5:48] And acknowledge that Vineyard City is privileged to be served by dedicated professionals in this field. [5:52] And so, as Mayor Pro Tem, I proclaim this week of May 3rd through 9th as Professional Municipal Clerks Week in Vineyard City. [6:00] So for proclamations, we don't necessarily do a vote, do we? Or how that went? [6:06] But it's right there for the time. [6:08] Very good. [6:10] Sign it. [6:11] OK, let's just do that right now so we don't get lost. [6:15] I don't get lost. [6:18] I'll just wow. [6:20] We'll sign it afterwards. This is Mayor Stratton. Maybe we'll let him sign. [6:23] OK, but. [6:24] We all approve it. [6:26] OK. [6:28] Takes us now to our work session number six. [6:31] So this is these are items for discussion for the Council. No action will be taken under these items. These are just to introduce [6:36] the topics to us and to be able to discuss them and. [6:41] And air our opinions and and seek feedback. [6:44] At which time we may ask the public to join us in feedback. We'll as we get there. [6:49] So be patient. We'll get to you. [6:52] Let's start with the first item is the UTA frontrunner. [6:56] 2X update. [6:58] Braden, Anderson and Justin. [7:00] Fidelis, are you guys here? [7:02] Please time is yours. [7:11] And did I get that right? Was it bidos? How? [7:14] Thank you. [7:15] Just bringing up our presentation here. [7:18] Can we? Yeah, Is that is the light on that microphone? [7:20] There's light on. You may push push the button. [7:23] I don't see about a button on the pedestal, the microphone thing itself. [7:30] Okay. [7:31] Can you hear me? [7:32] Oh, Robin working it. [7:36] I think. [7:37] For the. [7:38] Podium. [7:44] We we may call upon our technical expertise, our technical group to come and join us. [7:50] Also part-time city engineer. [7:52] Could you give us a hand with this? [7:58] Try it again. [8:08] There you go. [8:11] Can you hear me? [8:12] That works. [8:16] OK. OK. Thank you, Naseem. Thank you very much. [8:19] Can you hear me online? [8:20] And in the room. [8:22] Can you guys? [8:23] Ask you guys here. [8:24] OK, good. [8:26] Go ahead, please. [8:30] OK. So as we're pulling up the presentation. [8:32] I just want to introduce myself real quickly. My name is Brayden Anderson. [8:36] I'm with the Utah Department of Transportation. [8:38] Deputy Project. [8:40] Director on the front runner. [8:41] 2X project I'm here to represent our project in. [8:44] Give an introduction to the Council and. [8:46] The public on. [8:47] What the status is of our project and a little bit of background. [8:50] Just to fill people in on the. [8:51] Where we're at right now. [9:04] Thank you. [9:05] Perfect. [9:06] OK. If you just go to the next slide? [9:09] Thank you. [9:10] So our. [9:12] Team is made-up of. [9:13] UDOT and UTA. [9:16] It's being delivered. The construction is being delivered through UDOT and then when that is completed. [9:21] It will be turned over to UTA for operation. [9:24] And maintenance at that point? [9:26] OK. Next slide please. [9:29] So we have a short video. [9:31] Hopefully that will work. [9:32] That kind of explains. [9:34] Project a little bit really briefly and it does a great job at explaining. [9:38] Why we're doing some strategic double tracking. [9:40] And how that will benefit? [9:41] The system and the. [9:43] And the public. [9:44] So let's. [9:45] Fingers crossed we get a. [9:47] We see it, but hopefully we can hear it too. [9:53] If not, I can narrate and as it's moving. [9:56] So currently there's a single track for along most of the system. [10:00] There's a few areas where double track goes at. [10:02] Around the stations and a few other areas. [10:04] Which limits the number of trains and the frequency that will. [10:07] The system will allow. [10:09] So our project is to strategically include and add some double track. [10:13] In some. [10:14] Areas along the entire corridor. [10:18] To allow trains to pass. So you can see here there's the front airline and the one below that is the Union Pacific line. [10:23] Currently in a lot of areas that blue. [10:25] Is only single track, which doesn't allow trains. [10:28] To pass. [10:30] Unless you get to a station as shown here. [10:32] Double tracks and that allows. [10:34] The two directions to pass each other. [10:40] The other narrator is way better than I am at this, but I'll do my best. [10:45] So. [10:47] The train passes. [10:48] You missed the train. [10:50] It takes a while for the next train to get back to you, so the goal is I'll just keep talking so we don't take up too much of your [10:53] time and get watching the technicalities here. [10:57] So you have to wait for the train that's coming to the. [11:01] That red train has to get to the station where there is double tracking. [11:04] To allow for the other train to pass. [11:06] So that limits the number of trains that are able to. [11:09] Occupy the system at any one time and. [11:12] Service those stations. [11:14] So there, that other train has now moved on to that single track. [11:21] So yeah. [11:22] They're saying if we added more trains it would make a difference because they just can't pass each other right now. [11:26] So the best frequency service we can offer at this point is every 30 minutes during peak hours. [11:31] You know, rush hour in the morning, in the evening, and then every. [11:34] Hour during off peak hours. [11:36] And that's the limitation of the double of the single track. [11:39] Correct. [11:39] Yep. [11:45] So as you can see if we extend that double track. [11:47] We're able to add an additional train. [11:50] That southbound train is able to get off the track sooner. [11:52] For that. [11:53] New extra northbound train to enter the system so it's now. [11:57] A shorter gap between trains and thereby a shorter gap between service. [12:03] So you can see in this map here it shows. [12:04] Those locations where we're going to be double tracking. [12:08] So instead of every 30 minutes, now we're able to go to every 15 minutes during peak hours. [12:13] So that double s the frequency during peak times and the capacity. [12:19] So hence the name. [12:20] 2X for runner, 2X so. [12:25] But I would encourage you to. [12:26] Look this up on. [12:27] Our website it's. [12:29] It does a better job than I do, but. [12:33] Just in the interest of kind of moving. [12:34] Through this. [12:36] Video clip. I just would give a brief narration. [12:40] So yeah, that's kind of a brief nutshell on what the strategic double track is about. [12:44] And the map showed where we were doing that. As you can see, it's along. [12:48] A large portion of the corridor. [12:50] So we can go to the next slide now. [12:54] OK, one more. [12:58] So the purpose of this project? [13:00] Briefly touched on during the video is. [13:02] Right now for honors. [13:04] At 90% capacity during the peak hour. [13:06] So the trains are full. [13:08] So by adding additional track and trains, we're able to increase that service and. [13:13] Reduce the congestion. [13:14] And also increased ridership. [13:16] OK. Next slide. [13:21] Some benefits that we'll see. [13:22] As a result, the project. [13:24] Like we talked about increased frequency. [13:26] To 15 minute peak times. [13:28] And 30 minutes during off peak hours. [13:30] Increased ridership. [13:31] With the additional trains. [13:33] Improved reliability. [13:35] By having additional double track. [13:36] We can improve the reliability of the system. [13:40] And be able to. [13:42] Be more nimble as things arise and be able to move trains around more easily. [13:46] And as we all know. [13:47] I-15 traffic is. [13:49] Getting worse and worse as time goes on. [13:51] So by 2050, it's anticipated that Frontier will actually be 17% faster than. [13:57] Travel by I-15. [13:58] And as with many. [14:00] Transit projects that supports economic development in a lot of areas. [14:04] OK. Next slide please. [14:08] A brief outline of what? [14:09] The project involves a really high overview look is. [14:13] 11 new double track sections. [14:15] One new train station. [14:16] To facilitate maintenance of the new train fleet. [14:19] That we'll be bringing online. [14:21] As you can see, 10 new train sets. [14:23] Or I'm sorry, the station is a new station. [14:26] In the Bluffdale area. [14:28] And then a new maintenance facility for those new trains. [14:33] And that maintenance facility is going to be? [14:35] Located in. [14:36] Near Beck St. and kind of near North Salt Lake, so. [14:39] But I'll show you that on the map here. [14:41] Next slide, please. [14:44] Yep, as you can see on the map. [14:46] Those red areas are areas where we will be doing some. [14:49] Double tracking. [14:50] That new maintenance facility there you can see between Woods Cross and the North Temple station. [14:55] And then the new. [14:56] Train station will be. [14:58] Just north or just South of Draper. [15:00] Adjacent to the new. [15:01] Of the mountain development. [15:03] So that will be. [15:04] Part of this project as well. [15:06] And if you have any questions. [15:08] Along the way, don't. [15:09] Hesitate. [15:11] Let me know. [15:12] Thank you. OK, Next slide please. [15:15] Here's a brief timeline of where the project's been and where we're going. [15:19] We're still in the design phase. Environmental study has been completed. [15:24] We're hoping to get a federal grant approval here in the next. [15:28] Several months to hopefully less than a year from now. [15:31] Design is wrapping up on. [15:33] The majority of the project, there's still some design ongoing. [15:37] And then the. [15:38] Anticipated construction start time is. [15:41] Hopefully. [15:42] Early 2027. [15:43] With some early work for utility relocations. [15:47] Potentially this fall. [15:48] So there'll be minimal impacts to the public for a lot of that utility relocation. [15:54] And the goal is to complete construction by 20-30 and have that new 15 minute peak service in place. [16:01] OK. Next slide. [16:03] So the goal then isn't to double track the entire system, it's just certain places. [16:09] Yeah, certain places based on modeling. [16:11] To get the best efficiency out of. [16:13] What's currently in place as well as? [16:15] You know the best use of money to strategically double track a few areas to get the trains to move. [16:20] Other plans in the future to double track the entire system. [16:23] I believe so long range term. [16:25] Long range plans show. [16:26] Additional double tracking. [16:28] Even some triple tracking in some areas. [16:30] More potential express strains and things like that. [16:35] And if. [16:36] If the system were to be double tracked all the way. [16:40] How would that improve? [16:41] Throughput, I mean how often the trains can come and so forth. [16:45] I don't know, Matt, maybe you could. [16:47] That's with UTA, he might be able to better answer that question. OK. [16:51] Sure, yeah. [16:52] Thanks for having me. My name is Matthew Carter. Welcome. I've been a consultant at UTA for. [16:58] 28. [16:59] 30 years for a while so. [17:01] Umm. [17:04] It could help the throughput if. [17:07] If it was double track the whole way then you wouldn't have any of those conflicts with trains needing to pass. [17:13] At double track areas since there be. [17:16] Double track the whole way. [17:18] I would envision that it would probably operate very similar to the way Trax does right now. [17:24] But even that said, Trax does not operate any faster than 15 minute service, so probably. [17:32] It could possibly allow us to run all day 15 minute service, but I. [17:37] Wouldn't anticipate that we would go. [17:40] Than 15 minute service once we got double tracked. [17:44] What it does do if you were to double track the whole? [17:46] The whole way is it allows you to be. [17:49] A lot more consistent with your schedule. [17:52] Anytime you have single track in your system, you run the potential of. [17:56] Having conflicts with opposing trains which might delay the system and might put you off schedule, so having double tracked the [18:00] entire way would allow you to. [18:04] Stay on schedule a lot, a lot more efficiently so. [18:08] And so running trains twice as often. [18:12] Right now we're thinking during peak hours, are we fine? [18:15] Or if you're finding that, are you at capacity or beyond right now at rush hour? [18:20] Yes. So right now we're running actually the federal grant that we're seeking. [18:25] Trying to get. [18:26] Is based on the fact that you have at least an 80 to 90% capacity during peak hours, which we are having at this point in time. So [18:33] that allows us to qualify for that grant. [18:40] And so that's why we're we're seeking that federal money to help us with our capacity issues that we're having at this point in [18:43] time. Super. [18:47] OK, cool. Thank you. [18:53] OK. Next, next slide. [19:00] OK. So now we'll jump in a little bit on the more focused. [19:04] Aspect to the. [19:05] Area in question which is. [19:07] In your case, vineyard. [19:08] We wanted to come out and kind of give everybody an update on. [19:12] Especially. [19:12] Your location and. [19:14] The work that will be happening in this area. [19:16] And Justin, can I turn this over to you? [19:18] And he'll kind of walk through the design for us. [19:20] Thank you. [19:23] Yeah, it's good to be here today again. My name is Justin Bettles. I work for Horrocks. I'm a consultant. [19:28] I'm the segment lead. [19:31] For over design for the Orem segment. [19:33] We call it the Orem segment just because it begins at the. [19:36] At the Orem station. [19:39] And then heads N That arm station is roughly at about there at 8 S. [19:45] As it shows on the screen, the length of this segment is about 1.7 miles. [19:50] And it ends just north of 400 N. [19:53] Right next to. [19:54] The Trailside elementary school. [19:58] Next slide. [19:59] Please. [20:03] So the vineyard. [20:05] City segment. [20:06] In this Orem segment begins at the city boundary there at Geneva Rd. [20:11] And one of the things that. [20:13] It's kind of unique about this segment is. [20:15] We're not able to just. [20:17] Add the track to the outside where that's. [20:20] Taking place in most cases. [20:22] There's not enough room to the outside at the Geneva Road bridge. [20:27] So the track, the new track. [20:29] Line has to go. [20:30] To the inside. [20:33] So there is kind of a benefit to that to where? [20:36] There's no. [20:38] Additional. [20:39] Right away needed. [20:41] Along that, outside that West side. [20:44] Along the tracks through this area. [20:47] However it does. [20:48] Require us to. [20:49] Shift. [20:50] The Union Pacific tracks. [20:52] To the east a little bit. [20:54] To create some room on that inside. [20:56] Area. [20:57] For that additional track. [20:59] And then you can see that. [21:02] With that track shift. [21:04] Continues. [21:05] On that shift as it goes along. [21:09] The Vineyard. [21:10] Road there has been your Rd. [21:12] Parallels the tracks. [21:14] Next slide, please. [21:19] So has Vineyard Rd. [21:20] Kind of bends away. [21:22] From the track line, that's when the tracks start to shift back to the West. [21:28] To try to get back on. [21:30] An original alignment, so. [21:32] Those tracks line up with the tracks to the north. [21:35] This is where. [21:37] We do. [21:39] The project does need to obtain a little bit more. [21:41] Right away. [21:42] For the tracks to be installed. [21:46] It's about 17 feet. [21:48] Of additional right away needed. [21:49] Starting. [21:50] Just a little bit South of Center St. [21:53] You can see on that. [21:54] Image there. [21:55] Sorry, the image is a little. [21:58] Blurry, but there's a little notch. [22:01] Kind of in the center of that. [22:02] Image and we need to put a signal house there. [22:06] Part of the systems. [22:08] For the track. [22:11] For the track work and that requires us to just. [22:14] Notch the existing trail out around that. [22:17] That area that we need for the signal house. [22:20] We know that that's a planned development that's going in there we've. [22:24] We've. [22:25] Tried to put that in a location that works for the tracks but also. [22:29] It's in an area where we're not impacting parking lot or any buildings there and that's on the northeast side of the track. [22:37] Is that correct? [22:38] Northwest. [22:40] It's just it's South of Center St. [22:43] I'm sorry, I was glare on the West side. [22:49] And we talked to the developer about that. [22:54] So you're not talking about this little notch? Yeah, that notch right there. Yeah, we need that little notch for a signal house. [23:01] Yeah, I see. [23:04] Yeah, I don't think we've. [23:05] Reached out to the property owner. [23:07] And talked about that yet? [23:11] Because I know they're they're putting in foundation. [23:14] I mean, they're going to be there and just. [23:16] The next couple months, right? [23:17] Yeah, we've, we've seen some aerial imagery where they've got some curb and gutter installed and and they've started foundations. [23:25] But yeah, we'll definitely. [23:26] Need to coordinate with them. [23:28] On that. [23:29] Shift of the pedestrian trail. [23:31] Yeah, recommend that sooner than later. [23:43] OK. [23:49] That community, that community is already. [23:52] Parking again has a huge gonna have a huge. [23:55] Parking problem though. [23:58] My only concern would be. [24:01] If you get rid of the parking, we need to get rid of some of the buildings. [24:04] As well would that would you guys be purchasing those buildings to? [24:08] To make sure that you have. [24:10] Because you guys are going to need your anticipated parking. [24:13] Well, for the structure to act, will you be accessing it? [24:17] The vehicles the the signal house will be inside the. [24:21] The UTA right away and so it'll just be accessed inside the track right away. [24:27] The trail that just needs to go around that signal house. [24:30] Looked like it was just going to be. [24:33] Where they had planned. [24:34] Landscaping. [24:36] So we're not taking out any parking stalls. [24:38] Or any structures. [24:43] This particular. [24:44] Developer. [24:47] Is kind of set. [24:48] In his way, is that fair to say that? [24:51] You might want to talk to him sooner as opposed to later. I'm just going to say that. [24:54] And I think of. [24:55] I think it'd be amicable I'm sure, but still, you sooner the better. [24:59] OK. Yeah, we can definitely do that. [25:02] From Center St. to the north. [25:04] Just real quick, we do need to install retaining wall. [25:09] Between. [25:11] The new. [25:12] Track line and the pedestrian trail. [25:15] Along with that, we have to install a new storm drain line. [25:18] With the new track, we have to relocate the storm drain line. [25:22] And so it's going to run underneath the pedestrian. [25:26] Trell. [25:29] So with that work. [25:31] The pedestrian trail. [25:33] Gets tore up, tore up to get that storm drain line in and it will get fully reconstructed. [25:40] On the image here we do have the Rendezvous Park. [25:43] We're not planning on impacting Rendezvous Park at all. It's just the trail. [25:48] It gets reconstructed as all. [25:50] As we get through the residential parcels as we head north. [25:54] We do require a temporary easement. [25:58] On the Utah County property that houses the trail. [26:02] Just to get that storm drain line in and reconstruct the trail. [26:06] But we don't require any. [26:08] Easements or any additional right of way to the residential parcels along there. [26:14] So how long do you anticipate the trails be closed? [26:18] That's a great question. [26:20] And I don't I don't know the answer to that. [26:24] Yeah. We're just we're finalizing all that design, OK. [26:31] All right. [26:32] Thank you. [26:35] Right. Yeah. [26:38] So this is pretty much similar to the previous. [26:42] Slide, Yeah, it's just pretty linear. [26:44] The additional track line. [26:47] And including the storm drain and reconstructing the trail. [26:51] Through here. [26:52] You can see. [26:53] The UP. [26:55] Tracks get tied back in. [26:58] And it's just the UTA line that has to continue N to finish out that. [27:02] That double tracking. [27:04] Next slide, please. [27:06] So real quick, one question. [27:09] Oh, go ahead, Jake, you're on. [27:12] Jay, go ahead. [27:14] The residents in this specific community. [27:18] Have complained about the noise of the train and now the train coming every 15 minutes. [27:25] What type of? [27:27] Sound barrier. [27:28] Are we, I mean, are you able to? [27:31] Put up. Are we able to request how? How does that? [27:34] How does that work? [27:37] Yeah, I know We've done a noise analysis, is that? [27:41] OK, Yeah, if you can hang tight, we'll get to the noise. [27:44] Issue in just a minute. [27:46] And one last question before you go on. [27:48] I'm sorry if you got. [27:51] OK, sorry. The question is we've been trying to work at. [27:55] At Removing the the rail spur along Geneva Rd. [27:59] Yes, right. And and there's part of that is they're going to add some more up. [28:04] UP Railroad is going to add more track along this corridor. [28:07] Will it? Will that all fit in here? [28:09] Yes. [28:10] Yes, we've accounted for that, OK. [28:13] Perfect consolidation. [28:14] Yeah, project. [28:15] Thank you. [28:18] And as mentioned earlier, the segment ends just north of 400 N, right there at the Trailside Elementary School. [28:27] So that's that's pretty much the the limits of the segment. That's some highlights of the design that we're working. [28:33] On trying to. [28:34] And we're at it working towards a 90% plan set right now over the next couple months to. [28:40] To kind of finalize. [28:41] The design through here so. [28:46] Very minimal impacts to utilities. [28:49] There's like a water line or maybe a couple water lines that we have to extend casings outside beyond the right away line, but [28:53] they're pretty minimal impacts to utilities. [29:02] The same next slide. [29:04] Please. [29:11] Thank you, Justin. [29:14] As far as an over. [29:15] Environmental Overview. [29:16] We mentioned that the Rendezvous Park will not be. [29:18] Impacted. [29:20] There will be some construction work adjacent to the park. [29:22] There was no impact to the aquatic or biological resources in the area. [29:26] And then we didn't identify some noise vibration impacts. [29:29] Near 400 N and that. [29:30] We'll talk to those here in the next couple of slides. [29:34] OK. Next slide please. [29:41] So yeah, as mentioned. [29:42] There's concern about noise, vibration, as with any project getting. [29:46] Increases any kind of rail or roadway activity so. [29:49] We get that. [29:50] As part of this project, a noise analysis. [29:53] Was done in the area. [29:54] To account for the additional trains and the additional track. [29:59] And some of that involves. [30:02] What will be done to mitigate those? [30:04] Impacts to noise and vibration. [30:06] And what was determined in this area was spring rail frogs. [30:09] It's kind of a funny. [30:10] Term for. [30:12] Anyone, but it's essentially these. There's special switches that are used to reduce the number of. [30:16] Or the vibration that trains. [30:18] In part to the. [30:20] The track and the ground. [30:21] As they're switching from one track to the next. [30:23] So it's a spring rail frog which reduces that vibration impact. [30:28] And with. [30:29] With installing these at the crossovers. [30:32] The. [30:34] Noise, vibration impacts will be completely mitigated. [30:40] OK. Next slide please. [30:43] And this kind of dives in a little bit to show which. [30:47] Individual homes were identified as having some vibration impacts. [30:50] But with those Springwell frogs? [30:52] Those vibration impacts will be mitigated to below the threshold of the FTA. [30:57] Seize any additional mitigation. [30:59] Needs would be required there so. [31:01] It was determined that those spring rail frogs would. [31:03] In fact. [31:04] Mitigate. [31:05] Any vibration to below the threshold that the FDA would. [31:09] Required additional mitigations, so. [31:12] It should do a very good job at that. Plus those crossovers will not be used. [31:17] As frequently. [31:18] As others, they'll be used for maintenance and emergency. [31:21] Train switching. [31:23] So there'd be limited use on those spring roll frogs anyway. [31:27] OK. Next slide please. [31:29] Any questions on that before we move to the next? [31:34] I've just got a quick question. Is there anything that the city could kind of opt for? [31:39] Voluntarily. [31:41] Do I know some of the concern? [31:43] Folks reached out about the noise like further South. It's just like the general noise. Obviously nothing. [31:50] That we do is going to make things perfect, but. [31:52] Are there anything like? [31:54] I don't know planting trees or anything that the city could. [31:57] Do while construction is going on to. [32:01] Is the cost of. [32:02] Mobilizing twice there, but that could potentially help the. [32:06] If the general noise. [32:07] I mean, that's definitely a possibility we could look at and coordinate. [32:12] That would be a betterment to the city that they. [32:15] Would be responsible for him as far as warrant for any kind of noise wall or trees that would be. [32:20] Yeah, up to the city. [32:23] OK, OK. [32:25] And then as far as next steps go. [32:28] We have a neighborhood meeting plan on May 11th. [32:31] It's being rescheduled. [32:33] No longer on the 11th. [32:34] That's right. [32:35] So that's that meeting. OK, so do we have a date for it yet? [32:39] OK, thanks. [32:41] Probably late May. [32:43] Thank you. [32:44] The goal of that meeting is to get with the impacted neighbors. [32:47] And any residents interested in learning more about the project and. [32:50] And the steps that we're taking. [32:51] Would you guys just be meeting here or is there a location? We were originally going to do it at Vineyard Elementary, but. [33:03] Residents and we'll reach out to all those impact. [33:11] I've got a question as well. [33:13] Similar to Councilman there. [33:16] Had a lot of complaints about the trail. [33:19] Without any trees are there. [33:24] Are there anything that's? [33:25] Stop us from planting trees when it's reconstructed to cool it down. [33:31] Make it a little bit more. [33:34] Beautify it. [33:35] So that it's just not some. [33:38] It really feels like the the cement highway is just too hot. [33:44] How close can we get? [33:47] To the tracks itself. [33:51] Right. I don't know, maybe Matt. [33:53] Carter, you have an idea on? [33:54] Planting trees near the corridor. [34:01] The when we replaced the trail, it will be back in its existing location, which would be right up against the rail corridor and [34:05] against our short wall that we'll be building along there. [34:12] That leaves the existing. [34:15] Kind of landscaped area that's between the trail and the fences of the backs of the homes there. [34:20] If the city wanted to. [34:22] Add trees or beautify that area. [34:25] Former fashion. [34:27] That would be fine. It's nothing that we're not. [34:30] Planning on impacting that area. [34:33] So we're not. [34:34] We're not going to be reconstructing from. [34:37] Our corridor to the back fences. [34:40] All through there, there might be some areas where we step across the trail a little bit, but. [34:46] We're happy to work. [34:48] With Vineyard City on, however, they might want to look at that I'm. [34:52] If that's something that you'd like to look at. [34:55] Join this for. [34:57] What are these? [34:59] At the same time, because you're ripping up the trail to be able to put water and. [35:03] Landscaping and. [35:05] For structure with. [35:06] Save dollars and to do it. [35:07] That you know side by side. [35:10] Yes, yeah. So this is the works director, city engineer. That's a great comment. Actually, we've met with UTA previously. [35:19] And in regards to that, I believe it was the last online meeting that we had George Schramm and his team specifically. [35:27] Blaine Nelson, They've been working up a preliminary. [35:30] Tree planting or landscaping planting along there to kind of. [35:34] Coincide to the irrigation requirements, but more and more shading like the tree canopy which they'll be having a great [35:42] presentation on soon as well as considering the water wise type landscaping as well. So the city staff is currently. [35:50] Putting something together for our proposed UTA. [35:53] Consideration. [35:57] Did UTA recommend a specific type of tree? Do you guys? Is there something that is more effective at knocking down noise? [36:06] Does UTA talk about spacing of those trees or? [36:11] For anything that doesn't make any difference at all. [36:15] We haven't done any analysis on a different type of. [36:19] That might. [36:20] Help from that perspective. [36:23] Just in thinking about it, generally you know an Evergreen type tree that. [36:28] Be foliaged all year round as opposed to losing leaves in the fall and the winter time. [36:35] Might be better, but. [36:37] That would be something that someone else would have to analyze, and you'd have to see how that fits into your. [36:41] Landscape plan through that area. [36:45] I think generally those trees would be far enough away from the tracks that it probably whatever was selected probably wouldn't be [36:49] affecting the train. [36:54] Or affecting our service in any way. So it would probably be just up to the city on how you want it to. [36:59] Look at that and what you wanted planted in that area. [37:06] Council, Would it be OK to have George? [37:10] Think about and under with the theme about. [37:13] I I just heard this multiple times about how hot that trail is, how it's just not fun. [37:19] To ride on because the heat. [37:23] Something that could really. [37:24] Be a robust the waste barrier. I know they're probably going to. [37:29] Complained about the double track as much as we can and if we could so. [37:33] Get some ideas about. [37:35] You know how? [37:37] How thick we could get that just to? [37:39] And I know people don't like so so. [37:42] Jake. [37:43] Neighborhoods kill a little bit better, you know. [37:47] Councilman, hold away. [37:50] I have a 6.3 as a tradematroid planning updates maybe and George will be there on. [37:54] Stand there, maybe ask him at that time. [37:57] Sounds good. [37:58] OK, thanks. [38:00] Please go ahead. [38:01] Yeah, any other? [38:02] Questions. I don't know if we're. [38:05] Probably done with the presentation. [38:07] Just opened up for question I guess. [38:09] OK. Yeah, you just go to that last slide. [38:14] Sorry, we're not good at waiting for questions. [38:16] No, that's that's totally fine. [38:18] We welcome and. [38:19] Also, just by quick way of introduction, I brought some of our team as well. [38:23] Catherine, you know from our public involvement. [38:26] Crew Justin, we've heard from him, Matt Carter from ETA and then. [38:30] Sergeant is with FFP, which is a joint venture between Stacey Lipbeck. [38:33] And RLW, who will be the contractor? [38:36] During this project so wanted to make sure did I miss anyone? [38:40] Make sure I shout out. [38:41] Our folks for being here. [38:43] And has been kind of. [38:45] Mentioned a little bit is we have been working with the city staff already for. [38:49] Sometime on coordinating a lot of these things so. [38:52] Yeah, now we just want to make sure the council's. [38:54] Brought up the speed on things too appreciate it yeah not the first time you've heard about it but we're. [38:58] Grateful for the chance to look at more closely. [39:00] And then there's some information there on the website. [39:03] And our phone number and contact information so. [39:06] Don't hesitate to reach out. [39:07] A few good questions from any of. [39:09] On the public or if you have questions. [39:11] Happy to answer those. [39:12] Thank you so much. Thank you. Does the public have any questions about this? [39:17] Please. [39:18] Recognize David Pearce. [39:21] David Pierce, Cascade Neighborhood. [39:24] One of the questions I have is. [39:26] Potential impact? [39:28] On future Rd. enhancements. [39:30] Along Geneva Rd. [39:33] If you have any insight about that or have. [39:37] Discuss that with UGOT or. [39:39] Forum City. [39:41] Particularly. [39:43] On Center St. [39:47] And a couple of the other roads. [39:50] Headed north, going north. [39:52] Umm, you've addressed some of the other issues. [39:56] I think the question was asked, but I didn't get. [40:01] I wasn't able to pick up on the answer. [40:03] And that is, what are the plans minus Grant? [40:07] Revenue. [40:13] Question. Yeah. [40:16] As far as? [40:18] Roadway improvements we haven't. [40:21] We haven't discussed with any. [40:23] In improvements that we're aware of that would be associated with our project other than. [40:27] At grade crossings, so the the grade crossing on 400 S and the grade crossing at 800 S. [40:34] We will be reconstructing those great crossings, improving the sidewalks in the area. [40:40] There'll be different rail lines going across the Great Crossing, so some of the. [40:45] The. [40:46] Signaling equipment will be relocated and adjusted to fit the new configuration of tracks going across the streets and whatnot. [40:50] So. [40:53] That work will be done. We have not talked to them about any other roadway improvements along Vineyard Rd. or any of that area. [40:59] We don't anticipate impacting any of those with our project, so it would be something that might be different. [41:05] Part of the focus of my question. [41:07] Is future widening of the roads? [41:11] We have not addressed that. There hasn't been any. [41:16] Discussions with UDOT as far as anticipated. [41:20] Growth or? [41:22] Insufficient. [41:24] Widths of roads at this point in time, so there hasn't been any discussion with them on on that that I'm aware of your. [41:30] What was your second question? [41:32] About the absence of grant funding, Oh yeah, grant funding. So. [41:37] Umm, Currently our project is based on the assumption that we are going to receive the grant. [41:45] We do have a good chunk of local money. [41:48] That has been given to us from the state of Utah and. [41:52] That. [41:53] That local money is being used as the match money for the federal grants. A lot of federal grants, you have to have local money to [41:57] match with that. [42:02] We we have already been. [42:05] We've been approved through a couple steps of the federal process and so we're we're in there. [42:11] Pipeline you could say of the of the grant. [42:14] We are basically just moving through the process at this point. They have already allocated. [42:23] A good chunk of money and I think. [42:25] Three different years of past budgets on the federal budget where it's been allocated directly to the project. [42:32] That. [42:34] Cover the entire grant, but it does cover a good chunk of it. [42:37] We are waiting to hear from them as to the total value of what the grant is that they will be providing to us. [42:45] Once we find that out, if it covers the entire project, then that's that would be the plan to build the entire project if it. [42:51] If it's somewhere short of what we need, then we'll have to go back and look at. [42:56] What how we will have to adjust the scope of the project to to meet our needs of of what we need to do to try to still? [43:04] Accomplish the goals that we have of double tracking and. [43:08] And having 15 minute service. [43:10] So it's not guaranteed, but there's a high probability. Yeah, you could say that's about where we're at in the process right now. [43:16] And there will be no tax impact. [43:18] There's no tax impact to this, all the local money has already been allocated. [43:22] Through transportation budgets and things. [43:26] There's no. [43:27] Local tax or anything being assessed with this? [43:34] Yeah. [43:36] Thank you. Thank you very much. [43:39] He really appreciate that. [43:40] All right, so let's move on to number 6.2. [43:43] Water use updates. [43:46] Devin Peterson and Steve Jones. [43:50] You're up. [43:51] Thank you. [43:52] Nasim, thank you for your help. [44:05] And teams. [44:07] OK, I got this. [44:09] I'll kick you out, I'll team. [44:14] Well, maybe why he's getting this set up. [44:16] We can do some quick introductions. [44:20] I'm Devin Peterson. The. [44:22] Environmental Utilities. [44:24] Manager, which covers water and sewer. [44:27] And then? [44:28] I'm going to tag team this with Steve Jones to let him do a quick little introduction. [44:34] Yes. So I'm Steve Jones from Hansen, Allen and Luce, and we help the city with your water and sewer needs. [44:40] Awesome. Thank you. [45:00] So just use my or use this. [45:04] As we go to next. [45:13] OK, sweet. [45:15] Alrighty. [45:16] Just have a few. [45:18] Quick updates as far as. [45:21] Mostly water goes. [45:24] So First off, we want to start with. [45:26] Water quality report. [45:28] Water quality report will be coming out here. [45:32] Real soon. [45:39] So water quality report is submitted. [45:42] Annually to division of drinking water, that's a requirement. [45:46] And the water quality report? [45:49] In fact, I'm gonna. [45:53] Thank you. Thank you. [45:55] So the water quality report. [45:58] Pretty much what it is is a. [46:00] Report to citizens about the quality of our water. In that report you'll find samples that have been taken. [46:08] What the highest? [46:11] Levels detected in each of those. [46:14] Results. [46:15] And it also shows the MCL which is the maximum level that the state. [46:20] Allows for those samples. [46:23] Umm. [46:26] With this. [46:27] Water quality report. [46:30] We publish it on our website. That's a requirement. We send it out a utility bills. [46:35] And we have hard copies at the city office for people to stop and pick up if they would like. [46:43] All of our tests. [46:45] Come back, we're compliant with this. [46:47] State and federal regulations, which is good. [46:50] In that report you will find. [46:53] One violation. [46:56] No violation is good, but I would say it's a minor violation. [47:01] In our fourth quarter. [47:04] We felt getting a sample turned in on time. [47:08] As soon as I received the e-mail about that, we took it that day. [47:12] Samples. [47:15] Got turned into the state. In fact, they didn't even record it on their website but. [47:21] Because we did miss it. We do have to. [47:23] Count for it in this annual report so those samples come back. [47:28] Good like usual, Well below the MCL so. [47:37] Moving on to our. [47:39] Water tank and booster station. [47:43] I know this has been a very long project and. [47:47] Glad that it's up and going but. [47:50] The booster station and water tank was completed in November. [47:56] And dedicated to Don Oberson. [47:58] It was a It was a nice. [48:00] There's a good, good day. [48:04] The booster station we didn't, actually. [48:06] Put into the system until March, we. [48:09] Couple delays with. [48:11] Getting VPN set up so we can run our SCADA. [48:17] And just fine TuneIn some automatic valves and stuff. [48:21] Like that? [48:23] But we're we're up and going. It's pumping. [48:26] It's it's working the way it should. [48:30] So. [48:32] This water tank and booster station fulfills the. [48:36] Capacity agreements with central UT. [48:40] So with that we can. [48:44] Supply the demand of the system. [48:47] Without hitting. [48:48] Peak peak charges. [48:51] So yeah, if we didn't have this. [48:54] We'd be charged a lot more water for hitting peak. [48:58] It also fulfills. [49:01] Fire suppression pressures and. [49:03] Fire storage which is required by the state as well. [49:10] I'd like to give a shout out to. [49:12] Our team. [49:13] Going through this process. [49:16] It's something new to a lot of them and. [49:20] We've all spent. [49:21] Sleepless nights. [49:23] Watching pressures and pumps and. [49:26] Making sure everything's. [49:27] Working so people have. [49:30] The pressures and the. [49:32] Supply that they need. [49:35] Moving on to. [49:37] Water. [49:38] Usage update. [49:41] If you look at this graph. [49:43] I went fiscal year to fiscal year just because that matches our contract with Central UT. [49:48] I'm looking back 2425. You can see those numbers in millions of gallons. [49:56] I have not received our April's usage quite yet, but. [50:00] Interesting thing if you look at it the. [50:04] 2425. [50:06] Months July. October, November. [50:08] We actually used more. [50:10] That year than what we did this current year. [50:15] I don't know quite. [50:17] Yet why I haven't? [50:18] Done that research yet? But. [50:21] The rest of the months this year you can tell are. [50:24] Steadily going up. [50:26] And. [50:27] That's due to the population growth. [50:29] And as well as the. [50:31] You know, dry winter. [50:34] And the. [50:36] Hot spring. [50:42] As you all know. [50:45] It's a drought year. [50:48] So some of the things that. [50:52] We're looking at the hopefully help with that is. [50:57] Central UT. [50:58] Allocation. [50:59] Purchase which? [51:01] Steve's going to touch on that's coming up on in July. [51:05] Implementing a water conservation plan. [51:09] And developing A secondary water master plan. [51:13] I'm sure you guys have noticed that. [51:15] We have. [51:17] We've got some money to start looking into that secondary. [51:20] Water Master plan, but it has not been. [51:23] Done yet? [51:27] We've also talked about Flip the Strip. [51:31] And city detention areas. [51:34] And. [51:36] Acquiring as much water as possible. Both. [51:38] Irrigation and drinking water. [51:42] Along with that I would just I would like to also mention. [51:45] For citizens and stuff. [51:47] Vineyard City is part of. [51:50] Central UT. [51:52] The conservancies flow the. [51:55] Slow the flow. [51:56] So residents can get some rebates. [52:00] Due to flipping the strip. [52:02] Waterways. [52:04] Landscape. [52:05] Smart clocks and stuff like that. So I just, I'd like to put that out there and remind the citizens that. [52:10] That they're interested in any of that or have done it definitely looking to those rebates as well so. [52:17] Will they be able to find that on the website somehow? [52:19] Will they be able to find out in the city website somehow? [52:22] The slow the flow. [52:24] Information about how to get rebates, so forth. [52:26] Dorelli's. [52:32] Great. Whatever we can do to help people know about it, Yeah. [52:35] Put on the newsletter we have. [52:41] Great. Thank you so much. [52:44] And then I. [52:45] I think we'll turn it over to Steve. [52:53] And I know. [52:54] There's some that says 1:00 is the deadline, so I'll go through this fast, but then we can talk about any questions. [53:01] After that. [53:02] Yeah. So if 1:00 sort of a soft deadline, OK. [53:06] So the numbers Devin presented you are? [53:10] You're using about 2000. [53:13] 340. [53:15] Acre feet. [53:16] That the previous year, this year you're probably going to be using about. [53:20] 2400. [53:21] Acre feet. [53:24] Your five year contract will give you. [53:27] A total of 3500, so that tells you how much water you have left. [53:34] But. [53:35] To need. [53:36] 5300. [53:38] In about 10 years or so, depending on how fast things grow. [53:42] And ultimately, we're looking at about it as long as the city continues to grow like is planned. [53:49] 8528 so there's. [53:51] There's more water that Vineyard City needs to acquire. [53:55] Currently we have 3500. [53:58] Total under contract. [54:00] But there's an amount. [54:02] That that you need to start purchasing. [54:05] And this is the takedown schedule is what Central Utah calls it. It's. [54:10] 2000 Additional. [54:12] Acre feet of water. [54:14] So right now you have the 1500 acre feet. [54:19] And you're going to. You're going to need the. [54:21] This new. [54:23] Tranche of water very shortly, so it's a good thing it's coming on line and it gives you 2000 additional. [54:29] Which should last you. [54:31] At least 5 or 6. [54:32] Seven years or so. [54:35] But that doesn't. [54:36] Again, how fast the city grows and so the contract is to pay for. [54:43] 150 acre feet every year. [54:46] And that should should keep up with growth. [54:48] If for some reason you grow faster. [54:51] There's nothing that prevents you from buying more water. [54:55] But if you grow slower, that's. [54:57] You do have to buy the water. [54:59] That's part of Central. UT has already bought it and. [55:02] Paid for the projects and so they need. [55:04] They need to pay for the projects, so it's about funding. [55:08] But I think this is a very safe. [55:10] Schedule. [55:12] If anything, you might grow faster. [55:14] And if you do grow slower? [55:16] It will be a small price to pay. [55:18] To ensure that you have this water for the future needs of your city. [55:22] And then addition to this, you're going to have to need, you're going to have to figure out more water. [55:26] In the future. [55:28] So as you can see, the price tag is pretty spendy. It's more expensive than any of the other water you've purchased in the past. [55:36] And I recommend that you. [55:38] You pass this on to. [55:40] The new development. [55:41] If you fail to. [55:43] Charge the new development for this water. [55:45] The water that they're going to need. [55:47] Then that passes the cost on to the existing users, and you're talking about in. [55:51] In terms of impact fees? [55:53] Essentially, and so I'm saying charger impact fee that we've already talked about for your own city infrastructure, your [55:58] pipelines, your tank you built, your pump station. [56:02] Charge that, but in addition to that. [56:05] I would recommend charging the Central Utah Impact Fee. [56:08] Because they've had to pay for the wells and the treatment plant in their own. [56:13] Equipment to deliver the water. [56:16] And I would recommend you do charge development the full cost of that. [56:20] So. [56:21] This is where those previous development agreements. [56:24] That, that, that kept. [56:26] Impact fees constant. [56:28] At a lower level. [56:29] I read hurts us. [56:31] So this is the place where we were sort of stuck in a lot of those areas, yeah. [56:36] OK. [56:39] There is a Yep. [56:41] Recommend saying sorry, said Jump in here recognizing that Jake Hardy. [56:45] Our council all the way. [56:47] I'm gonna have to jump off. [56:48] Here in a minute, can we? [56:50] And either of the items till our next. [56:56] I'll say that again. Answer please. [56:58] He wants to continue to, You want to continue the rest of the items. [57:05] Here in a minute and that'll leave us. [57:07] I can have a quorum. OK, well. [57:09] We continue the rest of the. [57:11] Next council meeting and just finish this one up. [57:14] OK, let's at least finish up the water use. [57:16] And then we'll continue. [57:18] We'll take a vote to continue Item 63. [57:20] 265. [57:23] Can we do that? You hang on for that long, Ezra. [57:27] Yeah. Thank you. [57:29] OK. Yeah, my last item is. [57:33] There's an entity called New CAC and it's North Utah County Aquifer Council. [57:38] It's all the cities in northern Utah County that have gotten together to talk about managing the groundwater. [57:44] Now they're realizing. [57:46] We need more drinking water. [57:48] Too so central UT. [57:50] Is. [57:52] With the. [57:53] The addition funds. [57:54] From the city that is done, that is participating in new CAC. [57:59] Are paying for a study to find the new water supply for all the cities that need water, including yours. [58:05] So I just strongly encourage you to participate in this they're having. [58:10] A kickoff meeting. [58:12] A partnering meeting. [58:13] At center, Utah. [58:15] With lunch. [58:16] 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM on May 11th. [58:18] That's just this coming Monday, and they're even inviting any even City Council members that might be interested in. [58:25] Understand you have that information, Devin. [58:27] OK, great. [58:28] Also, do you have these charts and so forth? We didn't. It wasn't our packet. So we have. We get those from you. [58:33] Thank you. OK. [58:35] So just. [58:36] You saw you have a shortage, you need like twice as much water, so I strongly encourage. [58:41] Participation from this. [58:43] From the city, including educating yourselves at City Council. We'll take you up on that. [58:48] OK. And that's my presentation. [58:51] Thank you all. The rest of my information is just to answer your questions. [58:54] All right. Are there any? [58:56] Pressing questions, Jacob. [58:57] No, I appreciate it. Yeah, I. [58:59] If we can participate in that and make sure I guess you said in 10 years is. [59:04] When we're going to be at. [59:05] You said 10th out or? [59:07] Depending on how fast you grow, yes. [59:10] Again, you're using. [59:12] 2400 acre feet per year. It's 3500, right? And you have 3500, so you have a little bit of breathing room. [59:19] But that goes away fast as you build homes. What's the timeline do you think, for that to run out anyway? Do you? [59:24] Between. [59:25] 5 to 8 years. [59:29] I guess I don't know how fast you grow. [59:32] Thank you. Ezra. You have any questions? [59:36] Now thank you. [59:37] I'll entertain a motion to continue item 6364 and 65 to our next meeting. [59:44] I move to move item. [59:47] 61626364 and 65 just 636465. [59:52] 06364 and 65 to what? [59:55] Our next Our next meeting. Next scheduled meeting. [59:58] Next Tuesday. [1:00:01] Ezra, there's a second. [1:00:04] OK, all in favor say aye. [1:00:06] Aye.
