present our council member. Green council member, shelton. Council member. Lam chair
whitelock. Vice chair badau and council member. Jacob is okay. We will begin this meeting. Miss
marcy gleed has graciously agreed to lead us in the pledge of allegiance. God is. Are you
joining us? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic
for which it stands. One nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
thank thank you. We have had experienced some power issues this evening already. Our
generator should kick in. There we go. There they come. So the next order of business is a
special recognition of our police department. We'll have some bad. Now my mics gone. Oh,
there it is again. Thank you. Chair. Thank you for attending the. There we go badge pinning
the knight of six of our newer officers. We're glad to have them here and present them to
the council. I'd like the officers and those that are pinning to come up here and be
on my right side, their left, and I'll introduce the officers and those who are pinning them.
just scoot right up there, scoot up and squeeze in. And once you're pinned, please, just
instead of standing there, move over here so that we can get a picture, okay. And I have
instructed those I missed one, but I've instructed those pinning how to do this. You
know, you want to really drive the point home. No pun intended. I feel free to do it because
there's no earthly way. And I'm going to wimp out at this point. So here on the on the end
closest to the council, we have shane day. He will be pinned by his wife alexis, next to him,
andrew demos, who will be pinned by his friend james lockwood. Here we have carson gleed who
will be pinned by his wife, alexis gleed. Here we have the second of the carson family. So
this is parker cardin. Where's his brother? Here he is, he is he's brother to one of our
officers, and we're happy to have another. I don't know if there's any more cards to
contribute or not, but we're interested if there are. And then michael merrill, who will
be pinned by his wife, abigail merrill, and hiding in the back. I'm not sure why she's hiding in
the back. Jasmine deloach and she will be pinned by jeremiah burt and accompanied by her
daughter, jada. So with that, here are the instructions. Go ahead and take out the badge.
you can come up. And by the way, family members, you're welcome to take pictures during this and
then take pictures after. This is your once in a lifetime. Yeah, you don't have to stay in
your seat. Come on up and get get a good shot. You have to stay to be. Just don't get in
each other's shot because that's kind of awkward. Very simple process. You find the two holes,
the pin goes to the top hole and then the bottom hole. Unless there's some issues at home, in
which case the pin just goes straight in. We have two paramedics over here from our
fire department, so go ahead.
council, this is always a fun time for us because it's an opportunity for you to see that
when we bring an officer into the police department, we also bring in their family to our
family and really to the family of west jordan city. And it gives us all the sense that
we're here to serve the families of west jordan city. So if you're ready, officers line up
right around there and we'll ask the council to come down and take pictures with you if they'd
like. Just the officers. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. We'll just stay up back here and you just stand
back there. All right. So usually we have alan who's doing pictures for the a warrant.
okay. And detective zavala is here for pictures for our instagram. I don't know what
that is, but there are people in the department who do big smiles. Everybody. I'll wait for
the mayor. Wait for the mayor. There we go. Thought the mayor was out trying to fix the power.
maybe. You. Oh, brother. It's really flipped my switch. Mayor. Shocking. Shocking. All right.
yes. Sorry. No worries. We good? We got one more, one more. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you,
thank you, thank you. It's always a great night when we welcome new officers to our
city. Welcome. We're happy to have you. Next on our agenda is public comments. The first
person that has turned in their yellow slip is steven shill. So, mr. Shill, if you want to come
forward and you'll have three minutes. Three minutes. Okay. Well, being that this is the
week after 4th of july, my bad, I should I should state my name or do you have that. Are you
good with that. Yep. Okay. Since this is the week after 4th of july, I'd like to bring to the
council's attention that I'm not here to talk about banning fireworks, but this is a result
of firework display. About ten minutes. It spread over 43,000ft■!s of my property. This
isn't the first time it's happened. The police has been very generous to respond, but it
continues to happen. And usually when the wind is out of the northwest, they set the
fireworks off in the corner of their property and it explodes and pilfers my property. As I
said, I've contacted the police many times over the last eight years for four responses one.
the first year I didn't. I asked my neighbor not to do that, and they did. The following year the
police asked them to clean it up. I wasn't happy about that. I didn't really want him on my
property, but that was the solution. I thought, but I'm not here to speak on banning them.
but this is total misuse of fireworks. And according to the mayor, I spoke with the mayor
this morning that the city has no ordinance on the books to deal with misuse. Maybe that's my term and it's getting to be old. My wife and I feel like we're held hostage at our
residence on the 4th of july, and sometimes the 24th, because we have to do a fire watch. I've
been struck by these projectiles, if you will, near my home. My gutters have been
filled up with that. I had an ice jam one year because I didn't realize my gutters were
full of this stuff, and it just continually goes on by this one particular neighbor. But but if
you look around the city where you see fireworks displays in front of people's houses, it's
the mess is still there. And I think it's time that we as a city take a serious look at
that. We're not a small rural community anymore. We're an urban, urban city and this stuff
just can't go on. I mean, hey, I've worked my entire life to pay off my property and to see
it endangered like this. I have to stay home and stand a fire watch for people who have total
disregard and misuse of fireworks. It's just not acceptable. And so I thought I
would bring that to your attention. This is over 43,000ft■!s of property, and if
you were to come to my property today and take any line across my property, you'll still find
this stuff. It just comes never, never. Biodegrades I'll be picking it up. There's
propellant in here. There's large pieces of plastic and so on and so forth. I don't know
what the legality of his fireworks were, but this is the result of his fireworks display.
always out of the northwest. When the wind, when the wind blows. I appreciate your time as
a council. I would just hopefully raise your awareness to something you really need to
think about, because this is not going to be fun anymore. I'll end with this. The mayor asked
me invited me to come to the jordan stampede on the 4th of july. I got to stand fire.
watch. Thank you. Next we will ask kathy roman to come forward. Hello. I am a member of the 1075
west safety coalition and just wanted to say a few things. 92 south construction is nearing
completion. Yay! On the east side of the city. I'd like to thank police chief wallentine
for the excellent traffic enforcement that the that the west jordan police officers have
have participated in during construction. The drivers typically speed up the hill on
90th south. That happened before construction. During construction. I'm sure it'll be
an issue after everything is done, but it makes it really treacherous for my neighbors and
I to exit onto 90th south. So it just creates a danger. We have cheered when drivers have been
pulled over in our neighborhood, and there have been a lot of them that have been pulled over.
sadly, we don't want to wish a ticket on anybody, but at the same time, people need to learn
to prioritize people over whatever their wherever they're trying to go. So we really do
appreciate the police department for that. And we hope to see that continue. Yes. We've got
three minutes. Sorry. You still have another minute. Keep going to. You know from before they
ever had staff for their responsiveness community two years ago. It was the topic.
engineer here at that time and worked with them to make my neighborhood safer. Yeah, we
have a dangerous intersection in our neighborhood that. I. Is thought to get to and from
school. And it's hard anyway, but it made it much worse when I was growing up. The 90th was
speeding through our neighborhood to try to kind of avoid the traffic light in the
backyard, that sometimes the whole field. So. The oh, okay, we'll, we'll, we'll try one that
works. So mayor burton and the city personnel have worked with us to make our neighborhood
safer, and they have solved the problem for us. And I am really grateful for the west jordan
government for their responsiveness to us. Thank you, thank you. Next, we have glenda
mitchell. Mr. Mitchell, come on up. Hi there. I think I know most of you. It's great to be
here. I'm also a member of the 1075 west safety coalition. Hi, bob. But I'm here more as a
resident. And first of all, I just wanted to join with kathy in thanking the city in general
for their focus and efforts on safety. We really appreciate that. Most of you know our
story. We're a benefactor of great fire and police work, and three years ago, and we really
appreciate everyone's focus. The mayor's on public safety. And thank you for that. And
hopefully it'll approve their budget. I have no idea what it is, but hopefully you'll prove
public works and the police and fire department budgets when you get to that point. That's that's
important to us as residents as it is to you. I wanted to just also offer a thanks. This is
outside the scope of our coalition and maybe even the purview of the of the city. But
mayor burton has great visions of safety himself and his work behind the scenes. I hope I'm
okay. Oh, he's busy, so I can say it anyway, saying this, but he made a request or multiple
requests to udot to change the speed limit on 90th south between seventh west and I don't
know where I joined in with that process very late on. And we got an email, I think, a week ago
that udot is going to reduce the speed limit on 90th south through that section, which I
think will be a nice step in keeping us, and it keeps us a little more consistent with 106
south. But I just want to personally thank each one of you and the mayor's team mayor,
personally, the mayor's team, for their focus on public safety. It really is a great
place to live in west jordan, and we appreciate a safe place to live. And bob, thanks for all
you've done for us. So thank you. Thank you. Is there any other public in the audience or
online that wishes to address the council this evening? Come on up. If you do, mr. Anderson.
anyone online? Currently we're on battery power and not everything in this room is
powered with battery, so I cannot look at zoom right now. Last time I looked before the
power glitch, there were two people, neither of whom had raised their hand. Okay. Thank
you. Yes, we continue to have power problems. I would like to mention that council member
bloom joined at 704 and we will move on then to our next agenda item, which is a public hearing.
hearing ordinance number 25, dash 23 amendments to multiple sections of code. Title 13 to
permit short term rentals and update an a related definition. Mr. Gardner. Thank you. Mayor.
council. As a council aware. A ordinance approving short term rentals as a to be business
license was approved in april. However, what that ordinance ordinance did not do is describe
where the use could be conducted. And so this is an amendment to the zoning
ordinance that will outline or will outline where short term rentals can be conducted. Now,
they'd still be licensed as a business or get a business or a short term rental license. I
think they call it in the zones that are before you. There's also a definition that will be
added to the zoning ordinance and the ordinance. The definition is the exact same
ordinance or definition. Excuse me, as what was defined as the short term rental, which is
means a residential unit or any portion of a residential unit that the owner of, record or
lessee of the residential unit offers for occupancy for fewer than 30 consecutive days. So
with that being said, the zone that short term rentals will be allowed in as our r1, r2, r3
rural. Residential, rural and rural estate zones. They'll also be allowed in the rm zone, which
is a. Mobile home zone, and the planning commission wanted to add the condition as long as
they own the lot. If it's not a true mobile home park where it's one big park and they just lease
the space. That would not qualify. But there are several in the city where there's a
mobile home on a specific lot, and the planning commission wanted to allow short term
rentals. If they own their lot, they'll be allowed in a1-a5 a 20 zones, prd, pc zones, city
center zones, the integrated housing zone I and southwest quadrant zones in the single
family or the residential portion of those zones. And then in all of the residential zones
of the spas, with the exception of the high density portion of that zone. They're the. Does the
council have any questions of me? Are there any questions for mr. Gardner? Council member
jacob, thank you. I do have a question on that. That planning commission amendment. Yeah. To
only allow it in mobile homes if the mobile home owner also owns the lot underneath, is it
feasible or is it possible to if they do not own the land underneath but have permission
of the owner of the land? I think it could be. It would just be because the definition does
say lessee, you know, just out of abundance, abundance of caution. We didn't initially
allow them in mobile homes, but the planning commission felt that if they owned the lot. But
if the council feels like that, it's okay if they don't own the lot, if it's just part of a
larger park, then that could be added to the zone. And there's also the possibility, right,
that you could on the mobile home, not own the lot, but the lot is not part of a larger
park. Or it could be renting the space from correct whoever. So okay, I just want to make sure
we have babies and bathwater all in the right. Thank you. Council member shelton. Just to dovetail
on council member jacob's concern on that was when I was reading the definitions I was
concerned about the. Lease e having the ability to rent out their own the property they're
renting as a short term rental under the definitions in the rca. I spoke with legal about I,
and they informed me that that would only be possible if the lease. Expressly allowed it. So
I think it could be something similar with this lot being leased out, you know, allowing
subleasing. So I'm seeing some confused looks. Would you mind mr. Chandler explaining my a
little bit about that? Yeah. If I may. Council member shelton came to us asking about whether
or not, as I understood the concern, whether or not this would provide a right to a
lessee of property to lease their home out for, for short term rental, if their lease
didn't give them that right. And what we had talked about is that that relationship of the use of
the property is dictated by the lease, and that whatever our city ordinance had wouldn't
dictate what that lease was. Obviously, the city can prohibit certain uses of it, but we can't
provide rights to them that they don't already get under the lease for the property. And so
if someone is renting property and there's a prohibition on subletting that property and the
lease, this ordinance wouldn't have any impact on that. Or if there's renting property and
then it does provide them the ability to sublet the property, then what this ordinance would
do is still allow them to sublet the property consistent with what they're allowed to do under
their lease. Does that capture council member shelton? Council member. Jacob. Thank you. Just
just to make sure I've got my babies and bathwater and ducks in a row. That planning
commission amendment is just that. Footnote right on page per page is page two correct of the
legislative version? Okay. So if we wanted to make a change to that or tweak that, it would be
in that footnote where we could do that or just put a p in the arm and then it would eliminate
they could do it either way. Right. Well I would, I would yeah. Okay. I'll save that for
after the public hearing. So. Okay I see no other lights. So we'll move on to the public
hearing portion. If there is anyone here that would wish to speak to this agenda item,
please come forward. Seeing none. Mr. Anderson, any luck online? There are two
individuals online, neither of whom have raised their hand. Thank you. Okay, we'll close the
public hearing and bring it back to the council for further discussion or emotion. Council
member shelton, if there's no discussion, I'd like to make a motion that's in order. Go
ahead. I move to approve ordinance number 25. 23 amendments to multiple sections
of west jordan city code title 13 to permit short term rentals and update a related. Related
definition. Second, we have a motion by council member shelton, a second by council
member lamb. Any discussion on the motion? Council member jacob I see now here comes the
discussion. I would I would like to see that footnote changed to just instead of permitted. If
lot or parcel is owned by applicant to permitted with the permission of the owner of the
lot or parcel. So that so that if it's a mobile home that is owned, but the parcel is leased,
the land underneath it is leased, they could still rent out their mobile home if they
have permission of the underlying landowner. Just because I can just see places
where that would where where a mobile home park might want to allow that. In their mobile home
development, you know. So and I and I would hate to just kill it for, for all of them and
separate kind of two classes of people. That's just what I would like to see. I'll, I'll, I'll
vote in favor of the motion if you don't want to change it, because it's a giant leap in the
right direction and we can tweak it. You know, if this situation comes up in the future, if we
want to. I'm going to ask mr. Chandler if what you've heard is works. Are you asking, as in,
can we make that amendment or are you asking is legal legally okay, legally? Does that work?
yeah, legally it would be fine. All that we're doing is just changing it from ownership to
permission there. I think there's probably an argument to say that the permission part is already implied, because if somebody doesn't have permission to do it, then they can't do it.
but that would be something to, you know, be adjudicated between the property owner and the
lessee there. But if we wanted to capture that in the ordinance, we could certainly do
that with language similar to what council member jacob has proposed. Thank you. Council
member shelton. I was just going to ask council member jacob to give us a substitute motion and
we can move forward with it. Okay. Are you withdrawing your motion then? All right. Then
I'll go ahead and move to approve ordinance 2523 as written. Changing the footnote
on page two of the legislative draft to say permitted with permission of lot or parcel
owner. Second. Okay, we have a motion by council member jacob. A second by council member
shelton. Is there discussion to this motion? Council member green my question is now with
that change of wording, does that restrict. You have to have I mean they can give it sounds
like what they now have to do is give permission to themselves. I mean what what what do we expect
as permission. You know where I'm going. Mr. Well, if it's but if they own the lot if the well,
they do, but is the expectation that there's a document that shows that, what would we be
talking about there. Well. Beyond common sense, I would say that if so, and this is just me
postulating for the record, I guess this is not a legal opinion, right? If the owner is
the owner, if the owner of the land and the owner of the unit are the same person, then
permission is. And I imagine there's legal precedent for this, then permission is
explicit, right? If or implicit. Sorry, I had the wrong explicit then or then permission is
implicit. If they're putting it out for a short term rental. If it's a different person, then
there would need to be some proof of okay. Anyway, that's just my sense and a half. I
think alan wants to weigh in on this one. He's his mic has been on the whole time. Council
member green, do you still have something? Okay. All right. If there is no further discussion,
I will ask mr. Hallmark for a roll call vote. But before you do that, procedurally. Okay,
there was a motion and a second, and then there was a substitute motion. Was it a substitute
motion or. I think it was just a motion. Withdrew. It withdrew. Mr. Shelton withdrew his motion.
but there was a second. Correct. The council modified robert's rule says when there's a second,
you have to have a motion to withdraw and a second to withdraw. That original. Sorry to be procedural, but that's the procedure. Could we not have just done a substitute motion
without having them withdraw their motion? Parliamentarian. Yes. Yeah, that's what I though.
it a substitute. Are you okay with that? Okay. We're going to go with the person that made the
motion is okay with a substitute motion, which is what I thought we'd do. But then it got
changed. Alright. Mr. Hallmark, will you please do a roll call? Vote for us. I'd be happy to
chair whitelock. Yes. Council member green. Yes. Council member shelton. Yes. Vice chair.
yes. Council member. Jacob. Yes. Council member. Blum. Yes. Council member. Lamb. Yes. Thank
you. I show that motion passes 7 to 0. Thank you. The next item of business is resolution number
25. Dash 39, requesting a fee waiver of $855 for the american foundation for suicide
prevention event. Mr. Anderson, you are the presenter. We have mr. Hallmark do that while I'm
dealing with some issues over here. Okay. Mr. Hallmark, yes, this is a fee waiver for the
american foundation for suicide prevention. There is a utah chapter, and they are looking to
host a class here in the community room on july 26th from 8 a.m. To 5 p.m. It is a free
class to the community where they will be teaching signs, symptoms, risks and protection
of what to do in the event that there is somebody needing some awareness of suicide prevention,
or someone going through a mental crisis or suicidal thoughts. So here tonight we
have mariana manzo who can come forward and glory will translate for her. If you have any
additional questions as far as what the foundation does and the event specifically, thank you,
mr. Hallmark. And my understanding is this class will be taught in spanish, correct?

had a really good results in the community, especially in the young community with their
families, to be able to identify the risk that they're having in in mental crisis, and they be
able to keep the communities and the families together so they can help each other. Time of
crisis. Universitario también. De las familias. So this class is the certified class that will

looking for your support in offering this class as as a free class to the community, so we
can offer this class in four different languages english, spanish, french and italian. So
and we're really like your support. Okay. Anything else okay. Then I will bring it to
the council for any questions you might have anything. I don't see any so I will I don't have a
question. I just want to say yo quiero decir. Habla espanol. Entiendo gracias por todo todo
lo dices. She understood me. Nobody else does. Alright, we will now go to our public
hearing. If there is anyone in the audience that wishes to speak to this item, please come
forward. Seeing none. Mr. Anderson, is there anyone online? There are two
individuals online, neither of whom have raised their hands. Alright, I will bring it back to the council for either emotion or just. Council member lamb. I'll give a motion if nobody
else has anything else to say. I move that we approve resolution number 20 five, dash 039,
requesting a fee waiver of $855 for the american foundation for suicide prevention. Second, we
have a motion by council member lamb, a second by council member shelton. Any discussion to the

chair. Whitelock. Yes. Council member. Jacob. Yes. Council member. Shelton. Yes. Vice
chair. Badau. Yes. Council member. Green. Yes. Thank you. I show that motion passes 7 to 0.
thank you. Thank you very much. Next item of business is our business item. We are having
business item a, which is a water report from the jordan valley water conservancy
district. Our representative on that board is council member jacob. So the reason for this
meeting, this hearing, this meeting is to give the public a chance to hear jordan valley
conservancy water district is asking for a price increase. And so I'm going to give some time
to council member jacob. And then I think there might be someone here from the conservancy district also. Yes. Thank you. So every when jordan valley water conservancy
district, being a multi agent district as such as they are, I don't know if that's the right
word, but something like that when they want to adjust their property tax rate, they have to
go through truth and taxation, but they also have to come to their member agencies, which is
us and all the other cities and districts that that they sell water to at a wholesale rate and
give us as a body a chance to provide input in a public meeting to, to the district. So
you're essentially talking to me, but jacob young from the district is also here to ask to
answer any questions, but they are looking at an 11.1% property tax revenue increase, which
equates to about a 2.4% increase in their cost of water. Because property taxes are the only way
you pay for water. The public hearing on this is not tonight, it's not ours. We did not notice
a public hearing, although if we wish to, we can open it for public comment. But the public
hearing on this is august 11th at 6 p.m. At the water district, which is four blocks east of
here. And then a little bit more because you got to cross the street. It's on the other side
of the street. So with that, I will turn it over to jacob young. I don't even know what
your title is. Associate director, deputy director, director in waiting. Yeah.
deputy general manager. Deputy general director. What he said. He's he's the number two guy in
charge over there. So if you have any questions or anything you'd like to add to what I
said, I think you covered it. Well, council member jacob appreciate that. Just wanted to
express it truly is an honor to partner with the city's public utilities department and other
city staff here to provide this vital service to the to the city. Our role in that
partnership is to bring water from the provo river, from the colorado river basin, treat that
water, bring it to the city, that the city can, then distribute it to all of your
residents and customers throughout throughout the city. And it truly is. You know, it's
an honor to be able to partner in that way with you to do that and happy to go into any details
that you might be interested in on this topic, or answer any questions that you have.
council. Are there any questions that you have? You have a paper in front of you that gives you
more detail. I don't see any. Thank you so much. Okay. Thank you. I'll now give an
opportunity for the public if you wish to share anything about this topic with us, come to the
lectern. I see no one coming forward. Mr. Anderson, is there anyone online that's raised
their hand? And I'm getting a no. There's still two individuals online, neither of
whom have raised their hands. All right. Thank you. Yes. Council member jacob, I just
want to reiterate, if anybody listens to this later or just didn't want to talk to us, but
wants to talk to the jordan valley water board, that public hearing again is august 11th at
6 p.m. At the jordan valley water offices. Perfect. Thank you. Our next item of business
is resolution 20 5-037, formalizing the appointment of the chair and vice chair. It was
decided a while back that instead of doing an election in january that would have a
rotation system. So this is just the formalization of that council director anderson. Yeah,
you just took the words out of my mouth. This just formalizes it officially took place on july
1st. This formalizes it so that we have record that it was actually accepted by the
council. All right. Is there any discussion for this? If not, I would look for a motion. Council
member green move to approve resolution 20 5-037. Council member lamb. Second, we have a
motion by council member green. A second by council member lamb. Any discussion? Seeing none mr.
hallmark. Vice chair badau. Yes. Council member. Jacob. Yes. Council member. Sheldon. Yes.
council member. Green. Yes. Council member. Lamb. Yes. Chair. Whitelock. Okay. Yes.
council member. Blum. Yes. Thank you. I show that motion passes 7 to 0. All right. Moving right
along. We have reports to council. First up is city council reports. Anyone have
anything they'd like to share, mr. Green? Two things. One. Two weeks. Was it two weeks ago I
don't remember. We had the american, american boy. It's been a long week. Association of
municipal council meeting that we typically hold. Now it's every other month instead of
monthly. We had presentations from salt lake county economic development, and we had a
presentation on the pre-apprentice program in salt lake county. I have forwarded
that email to all of you. The pre-apprentice application is an is a program. Some of you may
have seen a couple of posts on facebook about it, but it's a it's a program to help people
learn about construction trades and get some some basic interviewing skills and those
kind of things. So if you know anybody that is interested in learning about the those things
that the pre-apprentice program does in salt lake county, I would have them reach out to
cameron segura. His information is in that flier. It it it looks like an interesting program to
help those in our in our neighborhood, in our in our communities. And last but not
least, I there's I'll make a couple of comments. One, the western stampede was great
thanks to the staff and all of their work. We had the highest paid traffic control person in
the city. I'm giving corbin a hard time. He was out there even. Even corbin was out
directing traffic. But it it was a great event. I think there are a couple of things that we
learned that we can do better. And but they're such minor things that they'll never they
won't affect it. The one thing that I will share with the council, if I can get through
this out without being too emotional, is I want to thank jennie taylor. And the major
brant taylor foundation for bringing that flag. To me. That was fantastic. But what I
learned standing there, and I know, kaitlyn, you were on the one side of me. And if you
noticed, if you didn't notice steve, who does the rodeo and does the dirt. He was standing
next to me and he asked. Because I had saluted the flag for the national anthem. He asked where
I'd served, and I told him in the army for 40 years. And then he told me. A little bit about
his service. In vietnam. For without him, without him embarrassing him, he told me
that with his service in vietnam, he was part of the 82nd airborne and that he had three
purple hearts and two silver stars. I did not realize. That we had such a true american hero
in our midst. And. Knowing how those. Veterans were treated when they came home. I just want
to make sure that I express my gratitude to him. And even though it may be 50 years late,
welcome home. Thank you, council member shelton. Well, I don't want to steal any thunder from
council member bader that he and I had some great fun calling. Bingo. I called three days,
three, one hour shifts, calling bingo, and any of the council members who didn't have an
opportunity to do that. I encourage you to do so. It's a great way to engage with the
community. Also, another great thing with that we did was driving the council cart around.
just had a great time with that. Another fun way to engage with the with the community, with
people who we wouldn't normally be able to talk to or wouldn't normally come to a meeting like
this. And during the bingo, we were running low on prizes. So I said to. Council member bader, I
said, hey, we could just give out free tickets to a city council meeting. We've got lots
of seats. So that was that was what we had a lot of fun. I was really impressed with the having
the dinner inside the new art center during the western stampede rodeo. I felt like the
art center served really well for that. Of course, the western stampede rodeo was just
incredible, and I noticed after the rodeo was over that the traffic was seemed much better,
at least to me. I mean, it's just anecdotal evidence, but I felt like it was much better and
I was grateful to chief wallentine and all his officers who who worked to make that
change, to make changes there. I am currently participating in meetings with the community
development block grant, listening to applicants and giving feedback. I am a
non-voting member of that board, but I'll have an opportunity to vote on it here on council. When
it comes before the council. And I think that's all I wanted to share with the council at this
time. Thank you. Council member I will vice chair actually vice chair. Sorry. Council member I
want to I want to just also echo some of the comments that just what a great, great weekend we
had for the city. I think this that was the kind of thing that shows what west jordan can do
when we want to put on something and we can all come together and make it work. I should say that.
that councilmember shelton did offer a free ticket to the winner of the bingo to council,
but I said second place gets two tickets and third place gets three tickets. We had a lot of
fun with the bingo. Also, I spent time calling bingo with chair whitelock. That was just a
lot of fun. I love it because it was a good chance for us to interact. I would make sure that
I was always telling people that if you know we're here, once this is done, come talk to us
and let us know if you have concerns, if you have things, or especially if you'd like to just
say that you're happy with things. We really like to hear that. And I did have people come
up and talk to me about things and, and it was neat. And I've got plenty of notes of things
I've got to check up on, so I'll do that. But my favorite part of the whole time is driving the
council cart and picking up people and just talking to them while we went. Although the
friday when it was raining, I was driving around like a mad man trying to get people out of
the rain. And it's such a weird thing to offer. You know, offer them a ride in a vehicle that's
completely open to all the elements that are. At least I was able to get them quicker to
where they needed to go. But I think that that also just showed how much our events team was
ready to join in and help out and do things when the weather got bad and it wasn't the
perfect weather and perfect things. I think that they did a lot of great, great work there.
so I just want to really praise our staff and our city and every one of the volunteers. I tried
to go around and thank all of them personally as much as I could and I, I just, like I
said, really love it when the city comes together and does something that is so community
based and becomes that. So thank you. Council member lamb, first of all, I want to say thank you
to all the council members for all you do for the rodeo and for the parade. So it's always great
to be together as a team and to be on the council. And, and even though the mayor's a different
department, I feel like he's part of our team as well. So thank you, mayor, for doing that. I still got to find a better way to throw out candy. Not not sure if I'm a fan of
that still, but I still like walking the parade route, so that's fun. I did have a friend
of mine that's not from west jordan attended rodeo and he said it was great. He says he
goes to the rodeo all the time, and he says that our rodeo is just as good. You always hear
from other people like the rodeo world famous. It's so great. And I've actually been up there once
and it is a good rodeo. But it's not like hands above our rodeo. I think we provide a similar
exciting rodeo. It's different, and obviously it's not in a little town, it's in a big
suburb. But you know, our rodeo 70 years plus, you can't beat that. And then thank you to your
staff as well for the vip room with the dinner, I thought it was really great to have that
air conditioned room and not a hot tent. And I think the vip people did did enjoy that as
well. One thing I will say is I did hear and I don't know if you've heard this feedback, like
the contestants probably would rather have their food back over by the rodeo next year instead
of in that, in that, in that room. But that's something you guys can discuss with your team
and see if that makes more sense. At the contestants back over, picking up their food by the rodeo grounds. That wasn't me. That was just I heard from contestants and the people that
were handing out food to contestants said, well, we'd rather get our food back over where we did before. So just, just, just a little snippet if you want to talk to your team
about that. So but thank you all. Council member jacob, lest they be the only one not
commenting on the events of the western stampede. First of all, obviously, of course, a huge
kudos to the staff. It's a holiday weekend for everybody else, but our staff goes and
it's like overtime weekend for them and it's extra work and it's months of preparation. And
so I want to make sure that the thanks of the council are conveyed. It's just cool to see,
you know, our event staff just stepping up and just doing it gets better every year I think.
and this year I think it took some several leaps forward with the art center as part of it.
having that building in that room was great, but also then it freed up space to kind of move
the food trucks out a little bit from the arena. So there's a little more space to walk around
and get around. The layout just seemed really good. It just seemed like like everything
flowed much better than it has in the past. So I think that was that was really, really well
done. And shoot, I had another thought and I know I don't remember what it was, but I'm
sure it was something related to that. And it was. Anyway, great weekend, a lot of fun. I did
stay for the rodeo more than I ever have in the past. I'm not a rodeo guy. I couldn't tell you a
good rodeo from a rodeo, from an rodeo from a spanish fork rodeo, or anybody else. To me, it's
guys on horses that are trying to get the guys off the horses, and that's really kind of I
can't tell one from the other, but look good to me. We stayed, I stayed saturday night, my
family attended and so we hung out with them for a little more than half of the rodeo. And it
was good. So good times, great fun. Thanks so much for the staff and everything you guys
do. We should do council next year. The six, the seven of us. Council. Yeah. Can you get some
big sheep? I actually don't think they allow our age to participate. They're pretty
pretty refined in who can participate in that great event. Some of those poor children were
awfully muddy on the 4th of july, as has been conveyed. The 4th of july was great. We
appreciate all that staff did. I would like to share that. I have learned I did. I was not here
last year. This year I had the opportunity to call bingo glory and I had a great time laughing
mostly at me because there are some very experienced players that come to our bingo thing and
they, the one lady came up and conveyed how grateful she is that we run ours the way we run
it and not the way riverton does. Apparently after you win, you have to leave the premise to
come back to get another card. So she was grateful to be able to. I mean, they bring snacks,
they stay the whole time and they're fun. It was fun. Certainly learned to put a
little more fun into it. From vice chair bador. So it's it was great. I do want to convey to
the mayor on social media someone was complaining because basically they were getting
scammed, which is what our residents pointed out to them, that that no, we don't actually
charge that much for our rodeo tickets. So you're probably getting scammed. But they were
very happy to learn that there were free things. And I thank the council for that, that we
that we do have activities and performers and stuff that you can come and enjoy our town
celebration without spending money. And, and bingo is part of that. So thank you. Next up is
our council office report, mr. Anderson. Thank you. This has been probably my busiest
meeting. Modern conveniences. They're just wonderful when their convenience. But I would
like to publicly explain to the council and the residents that are here with, with the power
bumps, why the monitors aren't on. So we have been on generator power, we've been on the battery
power. And I want to talk a little bit about the battery power. It's grateful that a lot
of the equipment we use in here is out of the servers and technology, like internet and
things like that, and those batteries are instantaneously. So during the meeting, we have
been online on zoom consistently, and we have been on swaggert consistently. What I
will tell you is if you want to watch the powerpoints for this evening, you'll have to watch
them later, because we can't get the big monitors to turn on. And there's this big orange
extension cord by me so that we can have as much stuff going out. So I really appreciate the
mayor and corbin and paul for having this room equipped, that we can continue the meeting and
not have to adjourn early. There probably will be a couple glitches from when the power
went out in the in the work session, but I'm very appreciative of your support and
the technology investments that you've supported so that we can conduct the people's business
even when we have power bumps. So with that, I don't have anything else. I'm just kind of
glad we're towards the end, I guess. Okay. Thank you, mayor burton. Thank you. I want to
finish up with what council allen anderson was saying. Some memories. Some things don't
change. So it is really amazing that we're doing what we're doing. Without power, I believe
we're still on generators. I'll check that as soon as we get finished with this portion of the meeting, which I think is why part of the things are not working, because the generators
don't power everything, they just power some essential things. And so we have we still have air circulation, but the chillers are not running. So you may notice the room is getting
warmer. But when you get out of the hall, you'll notice even more because this room is chilled to start with anyway. So those are good things. Western stampede is going to show you a
cool picture of all the council members in the back of a pickup truck. Just use your imagination
how that looks. Oh it's awesome. That is awesome. Yeah, but the really thing that's really cool.
they were all in the same color shirt. That was every council member showed up. I think that
was very good. That's not a common occurrence. So thank you council. Not all of them.
usually we're missing one. Well I, I feel like from the time you and I were on the council
together, we had pretty good. Pretty good. We've had pretty good having all our council
members there. And thank you for your great support of that. The public loves it. And how do you
can you tell if it's a good rodeo? It's easy. If they're smiling, it's a good rodeo.
that's how I tell. I saw lots of smiles. And then there was the other picture I have of the
flag, which was impressive. It was taken with a drone from up above. So I will send those over
to you so you can see those pictures. Oh, it's in your weekly report already, corbin
said. So there you go. Check out your weekly report. Okay. 9000 sal. The east portion will be
all the way done by the end of july. All the lanes are now open. They're working on a
couple more odds and end things that road they could do during the daytime. So they may close
the lane here and there, but they'll keep two lanes going each direction when they do that. But it'll be 100% done by the end of the month. 9000 south going west. We'll also be done
by the end of the month. They can't close lanes during the day, so they'll still be doing
those at night. There's a few things they have left to do there. The main thing is you saw
they striped it. Those stripes are just temporary. They're going to grind it down like they
did the other side, and then put the stripes in the grinding. So there's snowplows. Don't take them off. But since that's udot road they really don't snowplow very often anyway. So I'm sorry
I didn't see that on here anyway. So that's so that one will be done all the way done by
the end of the month. 7800 south. That one will be all the way done by the end of the
month. They were working on the landscaping today as I walked, went over there and took a look
at that. So that's going to be great. So we're really pleased with the work that's happening
over there. So basically by the end of july, our residents can get any place they want. And
this is rocky mountain power. Would you talk to him for me? And then 13th west, I wish I
could say that's going to be all the way down by the end of july, but I can't say that. But I can
tell you that enbridge will get that all the way done this year. Oh, I did say it. So that should
be all the way done this year. We have made great progress on our land acquisitions, so we
will be able to start moving forward on that. We're looking at end of this year, early next
year, depending on when enbridge gets out of the way. So that should go forward. So food
trucks, they're still going strong. And well I know it's a tuesday night but it's 8:00.
food trucks are over tonight. Try them next week. So I had an opportunity to go there next
last week. So it was fun. Our next movie in the park is coming that up. And this one is going
to be called if you're thinking if what is that? That stands for imaginary friend. It's a movie
about a girl who had imaginary friends from other kids who grow up and become adults who don't
have them anymore. So the friends get abandoned, and then this takes them over. So that'll
be our next movie in the park. And for the we're doing something different this year.
remember we did our community markets or the food trucks last year. This year we're doing here
at veterans memorial park. And it's going to be weekly instead of every monthly. And it's going
to be on wednesdays instead of tuesdays. And they start on july 23rd, and we'll go through
october 1st from 5 to 9. And that's going to be very exciting. So make sure you help
get that word out. We've been putting that where we can. We hope you come and buy all your
things from there. Do all your grocery shopping and your winter clothes shopping. Okay. The
panel for the pump arrived today. It is here. They will start installing it tomorrow. So
that is really good news. So we have been doing good. Our water levels have been high with the
two pumps out there running with the one being down, but we don't have a backup if that one
another one goes down. So we'll be very happy to get that pump up and running again. Coming up
is my mayor office open office hours. That'll be thursday, july 10th from 4 to 6. And on july
24th as a state holiday. That is the city holiday. City offices will be closed. And corbin's got
a really cool report about the skate park. Okay. Thank you, mayor. Mr. Lee. I have quite a
bit to share. Chief maxfield hung around tonight. I'd like him to give you a quick update
on what's happening, or how things went over the 4th of july weekend. From the fire
department perspective. We made it through another 4th of july. I'm happy to report that we had
very few fire losses. To be honest, this was probably the quietest 4th of july that I've
ever experienced in my career as far as radio traffic and call volume throughout the valley,
there was still a lot of fireworks. As most of you probably saw, but I don't know
if it was the rainstorm that came through a couple hours earlier, or becky's buckets and
her public awareness campaign about disposing of fireworks properly. But we over the period
of july 2nd through the fifth, we had eight calls related to fires, which is typical of any
other week. Four of those were possibly fireworks related. Two of those four were definitely
fireworks related, and one was a medical call, not fire. So it really was a great year for us
this year. I don't want to curse us because we still have the 24th coming, but it was a very
quiet year for the west jordan fire department and all the fire departments in the valley,
honestly. So any questions? Okay. Hang on. Council member green, just want to thank you
guys for responding to harriman. Yep. They did go. Thank you. Chief. A couple other things
from me. The mayor mentioned skate park. I want to give you an update on all things
happening out at the rockwood park area. There's a lot going on out there over the next
month. Tomorrow the fields will go out to bid the construction of all the soccer fields. That
goes out to bid tomorrow. That project will start this fall. The detention basin is wrapping
up in the next two weeks. This is the big stormwater detention basin that's been being
improved, deepened and hardened. That contractor has been doing well and they'll finish up here
quickly in the wheels park. You'll see lights go in starting next week. Bathroom shade sails
artificial turf going in in the next couple of weeks, and about the next 5 to 6 weeks, the bike
park portion of the wheels park will wrap up and be finished and be ready to open, so we'll want
to schedule a ribbon cutting for that. The on mondays. If you ever get a chance in july, go
out there on a monday morning from 9 to 11. They run a camp at the wheels park and there are
kids of all different ages and skill levels that went out there. This past week. There was
50 people out there, families, kids all learning to ride skateboards. It was really fun
to watch. Very, very different from the stereotypical skateboarders or, you know,
beating things up kind of model. And this was very family oriented and it was really good
to see. And our park is perfect for those camps because they spread out and they can work on
different things in the different areas. And then you will also see in two weeks the
parking lot getting resurfaced at rockwood park. That's going to happen on july 21st. And the
mountain view corridor trail there near the park, will also get resurfaced on july 21st. So
that's that's everything happening just at ron wood. The we are underway with the second
courtroom project, the temporary courtroom space in the justice center is being worked on. This
is the community room where we used to hold council meetings while this was being remodeled.
we're going to use that as a temporary courtroom for a period of time during the remodel
process. On july 14th, our court staff will all work from home while we work on improving the
court operations space. We will not have court in the courtrooms that week. We will be able to
handle almost all court services, but it will be a little bit limited the week of
july 14th. The 70th south entryway. We have final plans. We're getting ready to put that
out to bid. The mayor talked about some of the other projects. I want to talk to you
about the water tank over at the cemetery, the community college, that tank. You'll notice the
walls are done. It's capped. The it's been wrapped. The structure is done right now. They're
starting to pour the internal stairs for the water tank. As soon as that's done, we're going
to start to fill that water tank up and do testing. If you would like a tour, how many of you
would be interested in tours going inside the tank now that it's complete? Councilman
sheldon okay, we'll schedule a tour plan in the next four weeks. An invite for a tour of
that cemetery. Tank, this is your opportunity before we fill it up with water, to see it from
the inside and the out. Yeah, you won't need scuba gear to take a look at it this time. One
last thing. I want to make you aware of. Oh, the oak highlands neighborhood annex. That was
official. We have a meeting or a get to know you meeting tomorrow night with them. Because the
highlands area is part of the wasatch front waste and recycling district. Special
service district for their. This is for their solid waste pickup. West jordan city has an
opportunity to appoint someone to the wasatch front waste and recycling district's governing
board. If we want to do that. The governing board is made up of all of the participating
cities, or any cities that have any portion of their jurisdiction are served by that
special service district. We don't have to appoint someone to that board, but we have by state
statute, we have the right to appoint someone to be on that board. There's currently 14
members of that board. I'm just going to keep going. 14 members of that board, they meet on the
fourth monday of each week at 9 a.m. It's a it's a board made up of elected officials. And our
appointment would be an elected official. And so one of the eight of you here and would be
appointed by resolution if we want to do that. There's no timeline, there's no urgency,
but there is that availability and opportunity I want you to be aware of. Okay. I think that is
it. Yeah. That's it for me. Any questions? So will they they'll stay with they won't come to our
solid waste collection. They'll just always stay separate. When an annexation occurs. The
annexation into the city does not remove that area from any special service districts that
they're in. So, for example, when parts of our city annexed into west jordan, it didn't take
them out of the current special service district for recreation. I get the water and all of that.
but this one, it does not let them out of the wasatch front waste and recycling district
because, among other things, wolfe ward bonds for capital equipment, assuming rates and
service delivery from a certain geographic footprint and number of homes. And so to get out of
that special service district is a separate annexation process, and it has to be approved by the
governing board of the service district. Okay. Thank you. All right. That brings us to our
consent items. Council member green move to approve consent. Second, we have a motion by
council member green. A second by council member shelton. There is a resolution here. So I need
a roll call vote, mr. Hallmark. Chair whitelock. Yes. Council member. Green. Yes. Council
member. Lamb. Yes. Council member. Bloom. Yes. Council member. Jacob. Yes. Council
member. Shelton. Yes. Vice chair. Bador. Yes. Thank you. I show that motion passes 7 to 0.
okay. I just need one final motion. No objection. Okay. If there's no objection, we're
adjourned.
