Can you hear me okay?
Well, while we're getting set up, good evening again.
My name's Laura Dalton.
I reside in Rockland, California, and I'm the Chief Medical Operating Officer for
Pan-Parent Head Rammate.
Thank you.
Well, thanks everyone for your patience.
I will start over, so my name is Laura Dalton, I reside in Rockland, California and I'm the chief medical operating officer for a plant parenthood
Marmante. And I have slides and there they are on the screen. So before I get into background about plant parenthood Marmante and why we're here tonight
I thought I would give you a little bit more background about myself as I oversee all of the clinical services and operations for plant parenthood Marmante.
So I'm a board certified family medicine physician, and I went into family medicine because I grew up on the outskirts of Phoenix in an area that didn't have access to primary care.
And I watched what happened to my friends and loved ones in the community without having access to quality primary care.
There were many, many stories, but one of the most impactful stories to me was a good close friend of mine had struck throat, had nowhere to go to get simple antibiotic treatment,
and ended up with a full body infection and also known as Sepsis and had to be hospitalized for treatment and almost died.
And as a truly empathetic person and as an empathetic child that had lasting impact on me,
and so I knew that I needed to do something to get back and help communities that had unmet needs specific to primary care,
truly just be basic health care access for everybody.
Moving on to what my life is like now, last Friday, just a few days ago I was taking care of patients
in our family medicine program at Planned Parenthood Marmante, and I was seeing a mom that
has four kids, and I am her provider, and I take care of all of her kids as well, and
she was really concerned about some behavioral issues with her youngest or two-year-old,
and because she's my patient, and because I take care of her whole family, I could tell
that she was really upset about it, and I asked her about that, and I said, you know, you're
a mom, and for all the moms in this room we all know that we know and something is wrong
with our child, and she broke down and started crying, saying, like, I know something is wrong
with my child, and I don't understand what it is, but it's just not like my other children.
And so I was able to help her and start the assessment to evaluate her child, take care of
her own mental health issues as she's struggling with the care for her child, and then as a random
side note, refill her asthma and heal her medications for one of her other children.
So, it's just an example, that's just something that we routinely do in our family medicine
program.
I'm part of it. I wanted to give you a sense of my commitment to primary care and how important
it is to me not only because of my own history, my own lived experience but then what I'm
able to do at work every day. So I'm going to move forward and give you a little more background
about our organization. So first on PPMM. So PPMM is an essential care provider at 34 health
centers in mid California and Northern Nevada. We're the largest parenthood affiliate in the
So Pemperna is a broken up into affiliates across the country, and we're really focused on serving communities that have unmet needs.
And we see close to 350,000 visits a year.
So what does it look like for us as a primary care provider?
So we think about family medicine.
We think about family medicine really being the center of primary care.
Family medicine, as I mentioned, I'm board certified in family medicine.
It's its own specialty that requires specific board certification to practice.
And unlike other specialties that are limited to a particular organ or disease, family medicine
physicians are really the only specialists that are qualified to treat most ailments
and provide comprehensive health care for people of all ages.
We think about primary care and specifically family medicine we think of the five C's and
so they're outlined and bold on this side.
So really think about caring for patients, regardless of their age or their health condition
and sustaining a long and during relationship with them throughout their life, understanding
in the local community and how the community and social determinants of the health affect
an individual's own well-being and serving as a perturbation's first contact for health
concerns.
So really being there, this is the first person that they come to talk to when they have
a concern before they be sent off to a specialist or another part of the health care system.
And then coordination has two pieces of really thinking about the primary care of family medicine
physician helping to coordinate for specialty care when it's necessary and also using data
technology to help coordinate services, especially in areas like West Wind over where we can
really leverage technology to coordinate with specialists and limit the barriers that we
have due to travel distances. And then finally, just considering the impact of health
on a patient's family.
So, at PPMM, we're a really unique plant parenthood and that we've
been providing comprehensive primary care for about 25 years, which is unlike other plant
parenthoods in the country. And we focus on families and caring for individuals from the
over a hundred years old. We care for people who have complex chronic medical conditions such as diabetes,
hypertension, chronic kidney disease. And as I've mentioned several times, we use
board certified family physicians to staff and lead our primary care program. So not only am I
a board certified family medicine physician, but our senior medical director who directly
oversees the primary care program is also board certified as well as all of our staff.
We'd like to believe in striving for the absolute best for our patients, and so for us, in addition to having boards certified by the medicine physicians, we really want to excel and make sure that the care that we're providing is that the highest quality, and that we can say we provide the most excellent and primary care that's available for our patients.
So to that end, PPMM has achieved national committee quality assurance or in CQA patient-centered medical home recognition for the fits consecutive year.
So in CQA patient-centered medical home is a model of care that puts patients at the forefront of care.
It helps to build better relationships between patients and their care teams.
And we know that healthcare organizations that have this level of recognition, have improved quality, have improved patient experience and staff satisfaction, will also reducing healthcare costs.
So moving into West Wind over, so as I hope that I've helped to illustrate, we are a nationally
recognized program and we have long-standing track record for success and sustainability
in our primary care program and we feel that we're well positioned to support a new primary
care practice here in West Wind over and we truly look forward to earning this community's
trust and respect as your go-to healthcare provider, a provider that is really committed
to high quality and comprehensive care for entire families.
So on the side, it's just a list of all of the health services that are very traditional
in a comprehensive primary care program and are consistent with all of the comprehensive
primary care services that we provide at our existing locations.
And I'll leave this slide up for you, and at the end of my presentation,
I'm happy to address any questions that you may have at this time.
I think, thank you so much for the presentation.
At this time, we're going to open up the public comment and after we have public comment,
I'll invite you back up to field some of those questions and ask some of the questions from the audience.
Great, thank you.
Okay.
We're going to start the public comment part and we're going to start off with Dennis Draves from the Baptist Church.
We'll try it.
I don't see unless you want to use this.
Not for a particular like that.
Can you hear me?
Okay.
So your race, I mean,
done the straves.
And you have some handouts that I provided you with.
The first one is eight weeks.
And there's just some things that I'd like to take a look at
because week number two, more than 500 cells are present when the tiny, and I forgot
my glasses, I'm sorry.
I'm not functioning well today,
but the nervous system and all that is for then, if you
go to week three, the heart muscles begin to develop, and if you go to week six, there's
waves by the end of the 8th week, the toes
to reading glasses.
Two points, I don't know who I am, they were, thank you.
The thingers and toes have separated and become individual and with the child's humanity
clearly apparent.
I think it's interesting to know that also that last little note of the 45-generation
relations of cell divisions before adulthood, 41, have already taken place.
And I find it interesting that if you go to a national park, rattlesnakes are protected.
If you destroy a rattlesnake, you can be prosecuted and spend time in jail because that
is considered a rattlesnake.
I don't understand in society why we got into the point that this is not a human being.
Also in this, I wanted to take a look at the future risks from women that have had an abortion.
There's also a lot of physical complications, but women who are about not only their
their own lives, but in danger of the lives of their current and future children, women are
more likely to experience future.
Estopic pregnancies, which means that the fertilized egg starts to develop without reaching
the uterus.
And if it stays that way, it can harm other organs and bleeding to take place that could
be life threatening.
Also, there's another list there.
But the thing that women who aboard are 140 per four percent weren't likely to physically
abuse their children, now abortion has been around for what 50 years now.
So we've got a lot of time to gather stats.
Women who have undergone previous abortions have 60 percent higher risk of miscarriage.
Women who have at least one abortion are 44 percent more likely to have breast cancer.
That's quite a link.
If you have two or more abortions, your chance of having breast cancer goes from 76 to 89 percent
that,
you know, you can do the math on that.
You have a handout, actually, let me back a minute,
before I get to that.
There's a handout with scripture on it.
I think they're important because, as you can see from the eight week thing,
we are wonderfully, beautifully made.
There's no doubt about it.
And God is the one nation under God, God is the Creator of everything.
And I think what you start messing with them, you're asking for trouble.
And how do we survive as a nation when we start taking a life?
From the God Marcher Institute, who he is, pro abortion,
they note that the risk of a mother dying from an abortion rises,
export exponentially by more than 2,200 percent if the abortion has
been performed before the 8th and 18th week of her pregnancy.
Also, America is one of only six nations in the world, including China in
Korea that you can have an abortion up to the time of birth.
And we think that we're more civilized than some of those people.
I don't know if some degrees, in some cases, that's true.
On the multi-page handout, the fact of the first page, number five, was interesting to
And this comes from the
United States Conference of Catholic Fisheries.
Number five has to do with Planned Puppet as a leader in offering problematic gender
transition services to minors.
You might want to read that very interesting.
If you have any research on that, you find that all kinds of things happen
from the horrible therapy that they give and everything else, a lot of harm is gut.
The scripture that says, we are to love God in the tells with all of our heart and soul
and strength in all of those things,
the last one on the page and your neighbor as yourself.
If
we have compassion for our neighbors, if we have compassion for women who go through abortions
and may not be aware of all the toxic questions of what's happening,
I don't know how
We can allow this to be done,
lack of compassion, to lack of taking care on the one another.
And we are a brother and we're nothing in can look out for each other.
You ladies and gentlemen have been given the task of watching over the community of West Wind over.
If
we get label as an abortion destination,
I think it's going to be a black cloud over a nice pleasant community.
So I urge you, in concern for
them, do you think, well, what is it?
Well, these are like me, have to do with wanting to speak.
That's it right there.
compassion and protecting people and not allowing them to do maybe something that I
like I said that they're not aware of the consequences of their action.
Thank you very much for your time.
Thank you.
If I didn't state before the Baptist Church was allowed in a lot of ten minutes.
So, from now on, we're going to be having to figure.
Just a little bit.
So, from now on, it's going to be three minutes.
And I'll call off all these tickets that I got after that
if there's somebody that wants to talk.
We could form a line in the middle.
And the first one is going to be Donny Anderson.
If you could please come up and state your name and your address.
And you have three minutes.
All right.
Good evening, Council.
I'm Mayor.
My name is Donald Anderson.
I've been in 1964 Gulf Street in a long, long, long time
Residents.
I'm making kind of short and sweet.
But a few things on this have bugs me.
They have a lot of good things in my eyes.
But there's a lot I don't agree with.
So my biggest question is going to go to them.
And that's going to be honest.
and how can you wear not here five years ago, four years ago, three years ago?
How can you come up this year when Utah passes a law,
pH 467, that abolishes small clinics from doing abortions and stuff?
Is this for our community or are you trying to drum up business from Utah?
That's what I really concerned about.
This should be about our community.
And, honestly, that's what we should be voting on.
personally on table that's about you guys. Thanks.
Thank you.
Dean of Holland,
my name is Dean of Holland, 10645, north of 5370 West Highland Utah.
And I am the director of the executive director of pro-life Utah. I've spent the
last seven years immersed in the Utah abortion industry, which is dominated by
plant-parenthood. I'm here tonight because abortion will soon be shut down in
state of Utah, and your town has been picked to be the abortion destination for all 3,000
plus abortions that take place in Utah and the 1,500 in Idaho annually. Before you make
the decision to let Plum Parenthood take hold in your community, you should know the following.
First, Plum Parenthood has a reputation for inflating their services. If you look at the
Planned Parenthood if Utah does not provide prenatal care, annual physicals or labs, or any of the other services marked with an ex.
Planned Parenthood focuses on birth control, SDD testing, and abortion.
They do not provide mammograms or colonoscopies, they're not a full service medical clinic in any way.
In fact, some of the Utah locations do not even have a doctor on site.
It should be easy to see that without abortion services to drive people here, they would not open a clinic.
Secondly, the plan for your city is to be an abortion destination.
We've been working hard in Utah to stop the elective killing of our unborn babies
and our legislative success is about to become your nightmare.
I want you to imagine 20 women a day that will come into your city to have their baby killed.
You are soon to be the easy location.
Thirdly, every abortion kills a human life.
Are you ready for the death?
Where will the bodies?
Howdy's go. And are you ready for the after effects? The easy abortions will have on your women and teens that live in your town. I know many post-aborted women they are my friends. I am also a little leader in our post-aborted support group. I hug and cry with these women. They deal with so much pain for so long that guilt is crushing. Some of the issues my friends and the women in our program have dealt with include self-harm, self-hatering suicide, extreme risky behaviors, addiction,
of all kinds, mental health challenges, including severe depression and more, abortion leads
a devastating path in the lives of women.
Fourth, we know through experience that many women walking into plant parenthood for an abortion
really don't want one.
They feel as if life circumstances are forcing them there.
Some are being pressured or coerced.
In Utah, we have a mobile ultrasound clinic that parks in front of plant parenthood.
We approach the women as they walk in for an abortion and offer them help with whatever
circumstances are driving them into the clinic and then we do it.
No woman should ever feel as if she has to have her child killed because of life circumstances.
Each woman we help receives $3,000 of monetary support to women to support her emotionally and to help her solve her life crisis.
They also receive all of the baby supplies that they need for their children.
Is your town ready to give these women the care and support that they deserve?
Who will stand outside of your plan, parenthood?
Who will help them?
I beg of you, let us help our Utah moms.
Please do not let them be pushed here.
Lastly, are you ready for the medical complications
that come with an abortion clinic?
Our record showed that in one five months period
in 2020, our Utah surgical abortion center
had 20 incidents times.
Thank you.
You have a chance to see you, Tom.
Thank you.
Richard Bauer.
Just an Evans.
My name is Justin Evans.
I live in 2024, Bluegrass Circle here in West Windover, been living here for 24 years.
And I am here to speak in favor of having Planned Parenthood, come to our community.
A couple of things that I want to bring out here is that the U.S. among the wealthiest nations in the world is dead last in healthcare.
dead last.
That's a problem. I have a personal problem with the pro-life movement because
their pro-life attitude is as soon as the babies born. That's the end of any obligations.
Contrary to what was just said, if you remember, it was very difficult to get contraceptives
here through our pharmacy a few years ago. When me and my wife first moved out here, we had to
to plan parenthood in Salt Lake City to get contraceptives because the pharmacist in this town
would not fill that prescription. That is a problem. So when she says the planned parenthood
does not provide that sort of thing on here to say yes they do and it was essential to our family
exceeding. Also,
we need to have it. If we're dead last, our responsibility as a nation should
be to make it more available to those people, like she said, no woman should have to feel guilty
or forced into a light-changing decision that abortion is,
but if they're not going to provide
The stuff that comes after abortion, we need to make it safe, we need to make a legal
because contrary to what was said, first, abortion hasn't been around for 50 years.
The abortion has been around for thousands of years, and if women cannot have any other alternative,
they have no family support, they will seek out the illegal abortion, and they will put their own lives at risk
because they see no other way out.
The best way is to provide safe legal health care,
of which, yes, a percentage is abortion,
but a greater percentage is all sorts of other medical,
screenings, health care, and other services provide it.
It's not just women, but to children, and to parents,
man and wife.
So that's what needs to happen.
Thank you.
Patricia Lund.
Patricia Lund?
Hi.
My name is Patricia Lund.
I live at 1751 Youth Street here in West Wetherland, Nevada.
Thank you for allowing me to voice my thoughts tonight.
I am not in favor of an apparent good coming into our community.
I do not believe the main reason of coming here is for the health concerns of our area.
But it is because of our location and the short distance to Utah.
At this time, the state of Utah is making an art for abortion to happen, so all the more
reason why I'm here at it wants to set up a shop here.
I just found out that the window for Utah City Council is working with the Tribal Thin Inc.
in Salt Lake City Utah to set up medical services on the Utah side that would provide
dialysis and other medical services.
So, help us on the way.
Another reason we don't need the plant parenthood clinic here.
What I would like to see here in West Windover is a crisis pregnancy center
to help girls go through a difficult time in their life with an unfand pregnancy.
Good information of how to take care of themselves physically
and putting them in touch with the adoption agencies
if they are unable or not willing to keep their child.
Knowing that you gave your child a right to life is so much better
having remorse and regret for murdering your baby. I'm sure many people in this room here tonight
started out as an unplanned or maybe even an unwanted pregnancy but I'm also sure that we are
thankful that our moms gave us life. I'm asking the city council members to please vote no
for the zoning variants tonight. Please vote with your heart and conscience what is right. Life is
better than death.
Thank you.
Chris Lund.
On Chris Lund, that's a 1751
Butte Street and I have three
different reasons for being
against this coming to town.
But looking at the list of all the
good things that they're offering,
I can see that it would be nice to have
an upgrade and health care as Justin
Evans says.
That's great.
However, typically,
I'm hearing it as 95% of its business
with abortions.
And if we could just get a clinic in here that does all these things without the abortion issue, that would be great.
That would be about the same as us passing an anti-collester all bill and this counsel to say no more hamburgers or prince fries from any place in wind over.
So McDonald's and Burger King might object to that.
Oh, yeah, well, you can have Coca-Cola and all the other services, but you know, you just can't have this.
But in that same sense, to be forbidding abortion in window where would be kind of down 95% of
plant-turned-in-is-business.
So be it.
But what you have here is, my first objection, this is obviously a human life, as Dennis had said,
a heartbeat, fingerprints, they can feel pain after 12 weeks.
Second objection is that there is long-term effects that happen.
Off the bat, as soon as the abortion has happened, the woman is relieved.
Okay, let's move on with life.
But later on, the British Journal of Psychiatry reported five years ago that in their sort of the
877,000 women, 81% of them had some mental issues down the line, which means that one out of
five, Nordic rats, four out of five, problemal one.
So you got some problems going on, more negative emotions, more disruption of daily life, more frequent
dreams and flashbacks, losses of dreams and loss, and feelings of sadness, more on maternal
conflict, perceived decline in their overall mental health, and a greater degree of
help needed with negative feelings about the abortions.
So, you know, you got an engraving tank, you know, if we could have the clinic that does all
these things, that would be great, but they're proposing something that I don't think was
going to work.
Now I have this wacky idea being that I'm a leader of a church here, if it's possible that there is a maker, and that he knows about us and that maybe he loves people, what's the chance that what he wrote in the book is true, that he has a book written for every single person here detailing their unique DNA and everything about them.
That's good news because he wants you to get to know him, and there is this opportunity for us to discover why we're alive.
This whole thing is an existential question of why we're here.
So you had this book written.
It is written.
It's going to detail a lot of stuff about us.
And the only way to know what's in there is, as you open your heart, he'll open the book.
But what about the ones who haven't had a first breath?
I'm up.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Very interesting.
Good evening.
Can you guys hear me?
Thank you.
Forgive me this time.
I don't want to talk about my beliefs one way or the other.
I just want to.
I'm sorry.
I live at 36 West Michael Street in West London.
I've been here for about four years.
I'm planning on being here for the long term.
Again, I don't want to speak on my beliefs one way or the other.
I think my concern comes to with the city.
I think it's curious that the CMO that you've ever been spoke didn't actually talk about the women tell services or the person services that they're offering when obviously that's why we're all here tonight.
And I appreciate the primary care aspect. Again, we all need primary care services.
I did want to ask about the provider and the support staffing and where that may be coming from,
because we all are aware that it is hard to bring providers into our area and housing is a major concern.
We don't have enough of that.
I am also concerned that we will become an abortion tourism site.
We already have the gambling tourism and the marijuana and alcohol.
And we know why these people are coming to Wendover on the weekend is to to partake in these things, which is fine.
We probably partake in those also.
But now we will be known for abortion tourism as well.
And those people are becoming going to be coming into our community where most of us are trying to raise a family here.
We're working really hard and that's what we're going to have in our town.
And we're not trying to bring in a boys and girls club or a bowling alley or a bounce house for our kids.
This is what this is what we're bringing.
And I am concerned that the plan printed is here to support non-residents of Wendron over.
They're not actually going to have any support for our citizens here.
And I think that we also need to be aware that they are coming here because we are near the major
report in Salt Lake City and we're in a driving distance from all the other states that are
or will be banning abortion and that's why they're here. It's not to bring anything to
this city. It's for their own. For their own reasons, it's not to bring us anything. So, thank you.
Thank you.
Aurora 10-Giro.
My name is Aurora 10-Giro. I live at 744 North to this beloved. I want to point out
today that Planned Parenthood is a non-profit and they are the nation's largest abortion
vendor.
They commit over one and every three abortions done in the country, which equals about
947 every single day, about 96% of their services to pregnant women are abortion.
They also do provide contraception in STD testing, along with some other preventative care,
and all of those other services that they offer have been on the decline for the last
decade.
I personally decided to take it upon myself to give some of their location to the call and see what they would admit offering.
They are very deceptive in what they list on their website as providing and what they actually provide.
When you call them out on it, they state that's because the national plant parenthood runs the website and they don't have control as a local agency.
agency. So, out of curiosity, it calls our Renault location, which is a more, a mermontage
location, and I asked them, pretending that I was seeking services for a pregnant
friend. I asked them if they would provide an ultrasound. They said, no, they do not do
that unless it's part of an abortion procedure. I then asked them, oh, well, if she does decide
to keep this baby, what kind of prenatal services do you offer? And they confirmed they do not
for any prenatal services out of their maremontal location in Reno which is a larger location
than our location will be. I then called a Logan Utah Center and I ask them again with the
same far of looking for a healthcare option for a pregnant friend and they told me that the
If you choose if it's part of a termination appointment, which are done at the Metro Health Clinic, I then asked about their free NATO services and she went a step further and said, in all of their Utah locations they do not provide any free NATO services and the Logan location mentioned to me that they are closing down because the abortion can.
So, I want to point out to you also in the packet that you were provided by Diana, all the
services that they claim that they offer, that they do not. They do this often. Many of their
locations list services that they do not actually provide. So, I will ask you today to ensure
that if you really want them to be here, that you ask them what they're truly going to
and concern that that's really what they're going to offer, because we know their focus is on abortion.
The lady from Logan, Utah, that I talk to, she's stated that their number one is right for contraception.
That's great, and I think that that is important.
But she said that their number two most important thing they do is abortion.
If they will even admit that number two focus is abortion, I would ask you if it's really that far
Fetched to believe that they're actual number one focus is abortion.
Thank you.
Do you have a cross-spin, Prostman?
I don't hear him, was it?
I don't actually live in Westwood, I work here on both sides of the state line and I live at the pilot exit,
but I just wanted to mention that I think tourism is great,
But I don't think abortion tourism is good for our community.
I don't want our community to be known as the place the watch for Los Angeles front
goes for abortions since they can no longer get them in Utah.
And then since Nevada allows abortions without parental notification or consent, Utah teenagers
will become into West Wind over to get abortions without their parents even knowing where
they are.
We do need more medical service, as I agree with that, and that's going to sway you to let them come in.
I'm 100% against plant-parenthood coming in, but this is a conditional use permit.
So the council has rights to put whatever conditions on the conditional use permit that you want to put on there.
And so, if you want them, you want their services, what about letting their, let them bring in their comprehensive medical care, and under the condition that no abortions are allowed, unless they are medically necessary to save the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incess.
So that's just what I want to pay attention. Thank you.
Ron Pan-Garo.
Right now.
On my age right now I live at 744, 10 minutes.
I've lived in Westwinner by whole life.
Thank you for allowing me to speak with you guys today.
So represent as a plant parent at why do you want to come to Westwinner?
As of 2023 our population is up 4,542 people.
That does not seem like a big enough population support when you specialize.
Are you really here for the people at Westwinner?
Are you just using our city to run your business under Nevada law?
And I tracked out a state crowd for it, camping trip.
To mayor home, do you feel your social media
Opposite been impartial?
I would say no.
You're using Facebook page type JC home,
Less one of our city mayor as late as March 4, 2023.
And posting personal opinions and biases towards
Planned Parenthood, but they'll fare argument for the
Commitment for the counterpart.
You have a personal Facebook to
Empage, why don't you use that instead of city?
Believe it or not, but your title Ameri can be used in with people, especially since most people get their news from social media.
People may support your personal cause because you're a pinning to title.
Your reckless personal opinions with clear bias on social media pitch, page and identifying you as the mayor,
shows lack of integrity, morals, and your ability to be impartial.
This only matters because you have the power to break a tie if it comes to that today.
You have the power to keep to a decision like the president's or self.
There was a C Council meeting on January 19, 2021, one of the most topics was mental health care for the people of Western Europe.
City Council lost the benefit to provide free mental health services for toxic waste of people, because we already had those types of services here already.
Council member Tree Hill stated that some members of the community would use the service but for most people would not.
Council member home state of the public on this issue are divided on the service.
They would not use the service even though they have depression.
Council Member Holmes stated that we need to look at doing something else or promote
what services are already here in the community.
The other quote from a member home, that maybe we could help
Nevada Health Center's re-brand or remake their program.
Member Holmes, you can't look at tears without support or medical care
because we already have services available in this town.
If your current council members truly fill this way,
then why are we trying to duplicate service we already have?
Why are we not trying to promote the local clinic and get a full-time doctor?
Fix the current problems that we have in our current medical care.
Please consider your, you were vote and add on your moral's ethics and integrity.
Please do not shy away from your values for whoever has the loudest voice.
Another thing Mr. Melville pointed out in a packet today on page 17 that the city could be an open-up for a lawsuit
if they denied plant-parenthood based on their social beliefs and everything like that.
What about people that are for it?
Mayor Holmes have already put on them there with the city's name saying that she is for plant
parent that come in here.
That could open up things for the last lawsuit as well.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you.
Fernando
Cero's?
Hello, my name is Fernando Cero's.
I live on 619 Apache Wayne.
So, first, I want to say that I relate significantly to our spokesperson that came out here.
Unfortunately, I had to be around my sister, she could not get the health care that she needed because it was incredibly inconvenient and incredibly expensive.
She had a cyst pop inside, but she had an ovarian cyst explode when we were on a vacation in Mexico.
Part of the reason why this will be a very insist was never even located was because we do not have the support needed.
I kind of agree with some of the concerns here about where not planned parenthood is going to offer these services.
But to that effect, I also wonder how can we judge a book when it hasn't even been released yet?
We don't know what services they're going to provide.
And I do have that question for our spokesperson, the specifics of what services they may provide.
The biggest part that I wanted to bring out was that, as I have struggled in many of
this room of struggle with how remote we are and how far away the hospitals and other
medical facilities are, and as others have mentioned, not a lot of doctors stay here
and went over.
I think part of it is because we don't have a large medical industry, they don't really
have good paying jobs and it's difficult to stay here.
I think the added and other medical facility is going to help in that.
I hear calls for fixing our current medical situation and frankly, this seems like
But we need to think beyond ourselves, we are to Montelowe and to the Native American reservations kind of a stop and point.
If we can't make it out to Salt Lake because of the weather, they can't even make it out of Montelowe because of the weather.
For a lot of those people, their options are even more limited.
And I think adding those options to Wendover is a no-brainer.
That's all I have to say.
Thank you.
Kathy Durham.
This is going to happen in three minutes, but we'll try and Kathy Durham.
24, 44 Laguna drive, let's run over Utah.
When making a decision on council, I always ask three questions.
What's the law?
What's the cost benefit to the community?
And what's the precedent will be set?
We always have to look at the law first because we're a republic.
We are a nation of laws.
The highest power you hold a note to uphold that need to be office.
Everything about this entity, according to Nevada State Law,
that will allow us as it's legal.
The cost benefit to the community, this is an expansion of health care.
We'll be concerned by some of the things that I'm hearing that they don't offer,
that they say they do, I really hope that we have some good solid answers.
As far as people from Wendover, people from Utah and Idaho come in here.
I feel for the women in Utah and Idaho that now have less left rights than the women that live in Nevada.
You know,
you know, this expansion of healthcare, you know, past, nurse, birth control,
eight months of prenatal care, menopause care, things I have to go 122 miles for,
healthcare that none of you men need, but everyone that you care about in your life needs
and depends on what really is the counter-argument here, really the counter-argument here
about life. When does life begin? When does a woman no longer have a say about her own health
because she has within her, the life of another. Well, man's law and science is already to find
that for us. What really is the counter argument here is a different law and that's God's law.
But this is American. We have first amendment that the very first law that we made
It was that there would be a separation between God's law and man's law.
There would be a separation of church and state, and that hurts me because I am a person
of faith.
But I also understand the First Amendment, because growing up as a Christian, I know that
we have Catholics and we have Protestants.
We have predestination, and we have free will.
We have post-reulation and pre-travelation.
We have every variety of Christianity, because the book of which Mr. One spoke of, which
I happen to believe in, everyone interpret differently.
We have people that will use the Bible to say abortion is wrong, and we will have Christians
that will say that God has not spoken on the Bible.
We have Christians that point to numbers chapter five.
This is a recipe for abortion.
We have Christians that say that it's not, and they're in lives of the problem.
What is the truth?
Well, theology is up for debate, but I don't believe the first amendment is.
The first amendment has separation of church and state for the very reason that we, as humans,
can't quit arguing over what is the proper interpretation of God's work.
And so I don't end the year, guys, as a physician tonight.
It's a very difficult one.
But I would say, expand health care.
I'm here tonight to make it clear that I'm here tonight to make it clear that I want to be a voice for the unborn that I stand for God's word that all life is important and created for a purpose.
I believe West Wind over does not need to have a center for abortion, to support Utah, Idaho, and Nevada.
Salt Lake City, Elco, Twin Falls, all the nearby cities have pregnancy resource centers available to meet the needs of these women
who would be traveling here for the sole purpose, most, I should say, of a boarding
a child. By ask you, please, I'm sorry you to vote on this conditional use permit
that would not benefit our community as we already have a clinic.
Thank you.
Estefino Colazzo.
Good evening.
My name is Estefania Colazzo and I live in 1986, Eric Way, growing up to this point in my life.
I've known a lot of women who have gone through the journey of their pregnancy and
birthing their children and creating their family, having to drive out miles and miles and miles to do this.
And we cannot even provide a way for children to be born here, but are wanting to provide a way for them to be unborn.
I find that to be very insulting.
The people that live here in our town who are wanting to build lives and just live their own lives with their family.
On top of that we already have methods of broken people for services to take advantage of these broken people at casinos, at our liquor stores, at our dispensaries, and we don't need to add young women who don't know any better to that list.
because I used to be a young women like that who did not know any better and always loved for
easy attempts to fix my broken self and I don't want any other woman to go through the same thing.
And that'll be all for me today.
Thank you.

Esmeraldo Castro.
My name is Esmeraldo Castro. I'm 25th, I'm 25th, I'm a member of the
Chessamoy.
My name is Lindsey T and I am a resident of Utah County. When I was 17 year old,
17 year old, I had an unplanned pregnancy. I was terrified and invited in my boyfriend at the
The father of the baby and we went to Pant Pair her together, Pant Pair her tried to help me hide my pregnancy from my family
By asking me I wanted them to say that they were Pant Pair her when they called or if they should just say doctor's office
Looking back I find that behavior predatory. They tried to hide themselves from my family when calling my phone and they helped in minor courinops
And I'm Pant Pairnessy my older boyfriend paid for the abortion. I was five weeks along when they tried to such an el my baby from my uterus
And it's what's called the suction of vacuum aspiration abortion.
I left the procedure to go into my girlfriend's car and started solving a control fee.
The reality is that I just killed my baby.
There are no words for what that feels like.
A couple days after the abortion, I went back to work and tried to do normal things to move forward.
About two months went fine.
I noticed I had a little pouch of reducing for my stomach.
I went back to the parent and they gave me an ultrasound,
where we found an 18-week old baby in my uterus.
They had botched the tentative abortion when I was five weeks along.
because my baby survived the abortion.
They sent me to the hospital where I received another ultrasound.
At the ultrasound, I thought I had a second chance
and could deliver a living, precious baby.
I eagerly asked her an ultrasound technician
for my baby's heartbeat was because I couldn't hear it.
I could see his perfect fingers
and his adorable silhouette, but I wanted to hear his heartbeat.
The chest got uncomfortable
and his seat as he informed me that there was no heartbeat.
I was devastated.
After they removed his little body, I spiral downward
for the next few years
and self-caring about my life.
I leaned on drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism
for my situation of baby's death.
I moved out of my family's home while I was still under 18.
I felt like I didn't deserve to be part of the family
because I killed my baby.
I hid a portion I had for eight years before experience
a panic attack on my living room floor
after watching a baby die on TV show.
I was, then I knew I couldn't bear in my portion
to see her anymore.
I had to see professional help to give myself out
of the self-loathing while I was in.
I healed from trauma and damage from abortion to therapy
group post-border meetings and God's grace.
I now run post-border meetings by self-hearing here in Utah.
I let say the post-border, post-border, the even sessions and groups ranging from
24 women in them.
In these groups, we address the deep trauma, damage, and inner turmoil of time and inner
babies supported has caused us.
We choose to honor our babies by naming them and having funeral resources for them.
Women, I felt dealt with the actions through a side of God's life long regret and trauma
from their portions like I did.
I want to figure out what everything in me presents yourself and all the women at your
top.
I work to who have been deeply damaged by abortion and parent hurt that we do not want.
It do not need time, parent to set up a shop, any further.
In reality, we need them to spell for the women and children.
Thank you.
Laura Mercado.
Good evening.
time parenthood and the community of Westland over Nevada.
The following data is taken from Genevieve Plaster and Tesla Longbunds Associate Scholars
of the Charlotte-Losier Institute that advises and leads to pro-life movement with ground-breaking
scientific, statistical, and medical research.
The latest data shows that time parenthood of the nation's largest abortion enterprise
performs nearly 200 abortions for every one adoption referral.
Let that sink in.
Planned Parenthood, the self-proclaimed champion of women's health and organization that
receives nearly $2 million of our tax dollars every single day, and survives of 1,000
unborn babies on an average day, which is a heartbreaking reality that exposes Panned Parenthood's
actual purpose. According to Panned Parenthood's most recent annual report, the organization
carried out 383,460 abortions in their 2019-2020 report that is a highest number ever
required by the organization. Despite the fact that Plum Parahut seems to frequently
downplay the portion industry as a minor component of their overall services, their own
statistics show that Plum Parahut cares about one option only, abortion. Genevieve
Texas ongoing analysis of very planned parenthood annual report over the past decade
shows a significant and long-term decline in non-abortion services.
Planned parenthood prenatal and contraceptive services have dropped by 72 and 41 percent
respectively over the past decade. Cancer screening's breast exams impact test, which have been
subject to guideline reforms, have well decreased by over 70 percent. Human rights activist
and founder of live action, Lila Rose set up best.
The reality is that medicine is designed to heal or to save lives.
A abortion is an intentional destruction of a human life, a child's life,
profiting off the deaths of children, and some of the most painful moments of woman's
lives is so wrong, and she's had a planned parenthood as a friend of woman is a complete
lie and a scam.
Women deserve better.
They deserve a real choice, and they're sure that they will be fully supported whether they decide to parent or choose to make an adoption plan.
We deserve a more helpful, hopeful, empowering vision for our future.
Thank you all for your time.
Thank you.
I'm Jeff Durm.
Jeff Durm.
My name is Jeff Durm. I live here in 20 plus years.
I'm a business owner for telling me it's 21 Florence's way.
I'm here just to be in support of freedom and of businesses that want to open town.
I hear a lot of this discussion here, and I sympathize with everything.
There's one of those arguments that nobody's ever going to agree on.
And you're never going to change anybody's mind, but the fact remains that this is a legal business, a license business, and under our city code, and the way that it's laid out, if you say no to this, it's going to be some legal problems.
I've been through an upload pack meetings and stuff now to understand what that liability can extend to, so I please ask you to consider that, but I'm not speaking generally on this business or what they do.
I feel like arguing over what services they provide,
is like arguing over what I put on my menu.
It's, if my business is a legal business,
and I'm allowed to open, there is this also,
and I believe they should be too, and tell that a lot of changes.
I love all the energy and seeing everybody out here
and being passionate about this.
I'd love to see those same people come out,
you know, one of the things in the community come up,
like, when we need a red center,
we need things for our kids that are here now,
with our ball fields and stuff like that.
So I'm really happy to see all this energy
and everybody coming out and doing that.
I would like to see more of it not just on this subject,
but on things that affect the community as a whole.
So again, if you have an argument with abortion,
that's something to be taken up with the state legislature,
they're in session right now.
So take this energy, you have, you know,
call your local legislator.
But, for the city council right now, I believe Mr. Nolan, you did a great job in this agenda packet and it lists out all the different factors of the traffic, the utilities, just everything else inside it.
There's no negative effect, not a single one on AM.
So I invite everybody to go on this, it's online, the agenda packet, you can check it out from page 14 to 18 is what deals with this item.
And that'll explain a lot of things to you and why hopefully at the end of this, you guys
make the right decision.
Don't expose our city to that liability, because right now, I'm not here with going
to pay for themselves.
I hate to have it end up to where we end and pay for it.
Because I don't think everybody here that's against it's going to step up and pay for that.
So that's all you guys think.
Thank you.
Elias Stone.
My
name is Elijah Stone, and I live at 635 South Street in
here to say that the morning
I bought it, being full is not right because it was somebody, the could be very smart when they grow up, what could happen, it could change the world
When do we already have worse stunts and a women goes through so much jiss again, a baby, and then it's gone right away.
Thank you.
Are we so?
Dan
Warburg
Yep, so
I want to make sure
Can can hear me?
Can you guys hear me?
My name's Dan Monger. I'm living at
147 second street number 249 wind over
The
thing that I always think about is the origins where the things start
Now, this organization plan parenthood that is putting on this presentation for us.
I think we should all ask, who's the founder of Plan parenthood?
And if you want to know something interesting, maybe you want to get on wine and see which
international leaders or which national leaders she consulted with in the mid-20th century.
I might give you some information about the genesis of this organization in which directions
it could be headed and I leave that as an assignment for everybody.
Now what happens to the fetuses that remove from these women and girls and as I understand
in the state of Nevada, what's the minimum age for abortion?
That's another question.
So, what happens to the fetuses?
What, how are they disposed of?
Are they disposed of?
This is a question.
And everybody here in the audience, you can ask these lovely people
who have come here on the bus to give a presentation to us.
So no matter what, when a woman walks in to plant parenthood or young lady, and she receives
the services that are offered the abortion services, you have two lives walking in, one
contained within the other, and one life walking out.
Seems to me like it's kind of a death penalty, usually as I understand, the only time
the death penalty is administered.
I ask you what crime could the unborn fetus have committed to be guilty of being put to death?
I ask you hold these questions in your mind and in your heart.
We all will have to answer them. Thank you very much for your time and attention.
Thank you.
I wanted to put into the record that Patty Wald Vogel sent in a request
in her season opposition event. Gary Richards also sent in a concern, and also is in opposition.
And Haseus Dorado from Dorado's Bakery since in a request that is in opposition, Jenny Marlow sent in a statement that is for.
Is there any other public comment at this time?
My name is Georgia Spinoza and I pastor the local church, the West Wind Over Christian Center.
And first of all, I want to thank you, J.C., I know that this is a tough position to be in Nick, Gabby, Johnny, and Robert and John.
It's that sometimes can be a thinkless job, and I understand the position I've been there.
And so I want to thank you guys for even considering and thinking about it.
I do want to address a couple things, and I'll do this as quick as possible.
I want to talk about the logistical side of things.
I know a young man had asked, you know, if we paid doctors well, listen, we have workers
in the casinos, we have doctors that have come in here that make well over a hundred
thousands of dollars, and don't stick around, because when to raise a different animal.
The other thing, one of the things I would address is if we're concerned about lawsuits,
then that's opening you for any other business to fill their weight around and say, well,
we'll sue, right?
And if that's how we need to do business, then this is what you're opening up to.
At some point as a bit from a business perspective, we got to take a stance as a city.
Now we're talking about legalities.
I know that some of the people that are pro this have mentioned, you know, state laws don't
disqualify this.
And I agree, but those state laws are actually possibly changing her suit.
It has been stated by our governor who I've been in touch with their office that there is possible legislation that this is going to be flipped around and if that's the case
We're going to have a lot here. That's going to be empty at some point. It'll be good for another business to lease
the other thing I want to talk about is
I want to ask everybody in the public to look at your officials here tonight and
And next time you vote to really consider what they're standing for today.
If that's the way they're going to vote, you remember this day today.
Next time election time comes and vote either pro or against.
One of the things that I would say also, you know, again, to the state law, yes, it is legal.
But in the state of Nevada, sanctuary cities are actually technically illegal.
Yet our previous mayor was okay with that calling us a sanctuary city.
So it is obvious that it is only when it's convenient to us.
I would say, I pastor a church.
I've had a number of young ladies come to me privately,
and I will never discuss who they are, what they say,
who have made these decisions in their lives,
weeping, crying, telling me of the great regret they had, not every woman does that, I understand
that.
But the ones that I've dealt with, at least out of the five or six that I've spoken to,
three are suicidal, three have been on depressed, anti-depressants, constantly my wife,
and I have to follow up with them, check on them, make sure they're okay.
And the source of the decision they made is rooted back to this.
I understand, I have a wife who I am pregnant at the age of 16.
And I will be honest with you, there was no resource, there was no recourse,
and abortion crossed my mind.
I'm not proud of it.
But today I have wonderful children, they are grown up, and so there is hope.
There is hope for young ladies, young men.
And I think as a community, we need to join together.
I will ask anybody on the contrary of my beliefs.
Come over for dinner.
After this, we can talk, we can get along.
I think that's one of the issues we have in our city
is that we're starting to see a political influence
from what's happening on the federal side,
start working its way into our city.
And pretty soon, we're going to have in your city
as a big divide.
I would ask Mr. Evans, I would ask Mr. Durham, anybody
I want to have dinner with me spend time, we can talk, we can discuss and publicly respectfully
disagree, or agree on many platforms.
But I think this is going to be a dividing issue at some point for our city.
I think that, again, the community has to look at our officials tonight.
Remember who we voted for.
When we vote you guys in, we know who we're voting in.
We know where you work.
We know what you stand for. We know what morals you belong. We know what churches you go to or don't go to and we remember that and I would ask all of the public here tonight
That you will remember that as this will goes for next time's elections. Thank you
I just want to come in support of the plant pair of hood
Markle Sarah six one nine Apache lane
I think everyone in here knows that when nover is desperately in need of more access to health care than the existing clinic
we have
The distance from here to decent health care is a huge barrier for a lot of people.
I personally have experience with a lot of people who, if they can't get a ride, get someone to do
a favor and drive them all the way to Salt Lake, they just won't go to the doctor.
I personally have experience with my mother, who almost died due to complications that would have been prevented
if the health care was easier to access.
And I think that a lot of the people against the clinic are putting their religious views over the undeniable benefit that this clinic would be.
And if the clinic is built, and they have to choose between an appointment, an hour and a half away, and one up to the street, they're going to be making an appointment at this clinic.
And when it comes to the reproductive controversial parts of plant parenthood, if you actually look at the statistics, less than 3% of all procedures performed at plant parenthood are abortions.
And regardless, the right to an abortion is in the Nevada Constitution.
I think we should leave it up to people to decide if they're against it.
They don't have to get it.
And some people here have also criticized the fact that those in Utah,
Idaho, other surrounding states, could take advantage of the clinic,
come here to get those procedures.
And if anything, I think we should applaud being on a safe haven for reproductive care.
Hi.
My name is Elizabeth Rigoza.
And I live on 44th North Microwave Street.
I live here for all 23 years of my life, and I'm in favor of time pervert.
If they want to stay here to attract people from Utah, I believe that we should also let them have a safe place to come and do it.
I believe that's why we have a church and a state.
We constantly complain that we do... Sorry. Sorry.
That we do not have a hospital.
So why are we stopping something that girls are healthcare?
Not everything is about abortion, they offer other great services.
Another thing to know, we have a growing foster care.
Can you tell me how many of us have actually adopted or helped foster?
It comes not bringing in innocent children that we do not take care of.
We are a small town that constantly has team pregnancy.
We should offer solutions to combat that.
I constantly heard my friends wishing their parents would help with contraceptives.
We now have that ability that's focused on growing the community and having an open mind.
If you don't like abortion, it is not your body. Nobody is telling you to get an abortion.
This is why you have options. Don't force your religion on others.
And this is why we are America for our freedom.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
My name is Stephanie.
I live in 1988 Goldstream.
I was raised here.
I just recently moved back.
I was lucky enough to hop in taught between the separation of government state.
ProLive has often been tied to abortion.
And Pat Parade isn't way more than that.
We live in a community with limited resources.
Driving an hour to hour and a half to Salt Lake and hour and a half to Elco is not feasible
for many of us. And many of us don't have those resources.
If your child is sick and you can't
in a man with Nevada health centers because they're a week out, parenthood has those resources
to be able to help you take care and give you antibiotics for your child. Well, I believe everybody
isn't titled to their opinion. I also believe I'm entitled to my body. No, no man and no church
have some right to decide what I do with my body.
Sorry, I'm nervous, as I am going to talk about a personal experience.
I recently had a miscarriage, and no man will ever know the experience you feel
of losing a child that you hoped and loved.
No one will ever be able to experience that unless you're a woman.
So why are we having a man choose?
Why were we having a church choose what we do with our bodies?
It was the pregnancy at 10 weeks, and whether or not it could have been prevented,
I was uninsured at the time.
And I was lucky enough to have a job to be able to afford going to the hospital.
And I was lucky enough to be able to work with Nevada Health Centers, where they supported me.
And while there could have been prevented, has those prenatal resources
that we don't necessarily have at wind over where we have to drive an hour and a half
and an hour and 15 minutes, however fast you drive. Aside from this, someone mentioned
that no one should be driven to abortion due to their circumstances. Yeah, I've seen many women
and children be filled by the system. Not a lot of us have those resources and no one should
be forced to have a child, that they are not able to care for.
Thank you.
Sheila McCottle, 1798, Gold Street.
I'm here to oppose Planned Parenthood.
As with any surgery, there are risks that can go wrong.
What plans do we have regarding care for patients in an emergency situation caused by an abortion procedure?
According to the American College of Obstetrician and Gynecologists,
risks associated with an abortion include incomplete abortion, infection, heavy vaginal bleeding
or hemorrhage, injury to the uterus and other organs.
If the uterus or another organ is injured during an abortion, heavy bleeding can occur and
the patient must be rushed to a hospital.
The uterus or cervix may even be ruptured during a second trimester abortion, with no hospitals
and West Wind over.
What plan do we have to treat these women during emergency situations
where time is of the essence? It's hard for me to buy the line that we care for women if
we are willing to accept the possibility that they could bleed out on their way to the hospital
over 120 miles away.
There are many reasons to oppose plant parenthood, which can't be covered
quickly. But let me present a tiny sliver of a human right side of this argument. A abortion used to
deemed by plant parenthood and certain politicians as rare, safe, and legal have been
changed to more like abortion on demand.
My body, my choice, a popular term used by pro-abortion people, is an incorrect term.
Human life developing inside your body is not your body.
That person has every right to live just like all of us here do.
Human life begins at conception, that is not my opinion.
The textbook, developing human states, human mice begins at fertilization.
Lengthens medical embryology states, development begins with fertilization.
In 2019, PhD students Steve Jacobs asked over 5,000 biologists when mice begins, and 96%
of them affirmed that a human's life begins at fertilization.
Trendhorn Catholic Apologist and pro-life activist states, an unborn child isn't something
that we can develop into a human being.
It is a human being in the process of developing
into a more mature human being.
Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood Clinic director
states, and I'm going to answer the gentleman earlier
about who the founder of this organization is.
She states, founder of Margaret Sanger, is a racist
who believes in you, Genics.
Her goal when she found her Planned Parenthood
was to eradicate the minority population.
Today, almost 80% of plant-parenthood facilities are strategically located in minority neighborhoods.
Keep in mind, Westwind over a loan is 60% Hispanic roughly.
Abby Johnson also states that she was given an abortion quoted and meet.
The year I was nominated and fully of the year, I was told I was expected to sell double the abortion
before the previous year.
That's right.
Okay.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you.
2019 inชren, Attain, an 1811 Beat Street.
Well, lords, I was going to talk, the lords placed us on my heart and it's hard for me to talk about,
but I feel that people need to hear more than statistics. I am pre and post abortion law.
My mother gave me a her adoption.
It's very tough.
I met my mother.
40 years later.
It's very tough on her.
It's very tough on me.
Not knowing who I was for many years.
There was an abortion laws.
It was also not allowed to be married then.
was a change so many, so much from 1956 to now.
Now, this is something I've never told anyone
and here I stand before you.
At the age of 18, I became pregnant.
My parents were ashamed still forced me to have an abortion.
That is not what I wanted.
So, for 47 years, I think about that every year, every year.
There was no mental health.
And like I said, the first time I spoke of this to anyone,
I want you to know how hard it is to go through that, be by yourself and have no help.
I just want to be the person to tell you both sides of that.
I had the chance to meet both my parents, my father's 95, I've not had two years ago.
God bless me with that chance to be here.
I couldn't have done that if I was an abortion.
Could I?
I just, well, obviously, I'm not for abortion,
but I do know that the kids need mental health
or something to help them.
When I become pregnant, when I need help, we do have primary care on this town.
I think it needs to be more, and, and yes, we need better services, but we can get this time.
Where are we need? Thank you.
Thank you.
My name is Araseligareiro.
I live in 1869, Gold Street.
I do respect for everybody, every woman that is present.
And that has gone through a lot of problems
with having a baby.
I'm not here to judge anybody.
I do believe that all Christians are against abortion.
I've never heard of any church that approves abortion.
As far as I've known, all the churches that have gone through.
I'm Catholic Christian, but I gone through other Christian churches, and I never heard of anybody
approving abortion, excuse me, if I'm ignorant of this, but I don't remember a lot of scriptures
on the Bible.
I wasn't sure if I was going to be permitted to talk about God, but I know that there has been
mentioned.
So, the word of God says, in Jeremiah, I knew you from the womb of your mother, and I called
you. And I don't think that if God, the Creator of all of us are here present, has high
life, you know, a mother's womb, I don't think anybody has the right to say, oh, it's
my body, because it's the body of God, God created you with all respect. But if anybody is
dealing with a problem right now, that they're pregnant in this person here, maybe you don't
You know what's going to happen in the future, okay, you don't know, but trust in a God that has everything in his hands and can do everything for you.
Imagine looking at your baby's eyes holding their hands, hearing their heartbeat.
What is that person in your womb?
What is God has planned for that person?
Like the little boy said, he touched my heart so much,
because sometimes we learn so much from the little ones.
Those are the innocent souls that we should listen to.
With all respect for everybody in the love of God,
but please don't kill innocent babies.
Thank you.
My name is John Deal.
I've lived here for 30 years.
I live at 3155 Scott View Drive.
I had a large dissertation here, I was going to present.
But what are we doing here?
Why are we here?
We're dealing with a merchant of debt.
They make money.
Their primary income is off-hand.
And it breaks my heart to know that we have to stand here
and fight against this.
And they hide behind it from market, marketing scheme,
And I'm the nearer, saying that you're going to provide all this for us when the statistics say that their primary income is from the death of children.
And that's not right.
I ask you people here that are going to make a decision.
What type of legacy are we going to leave for our community?
Are we going to leave a legacy of death?
Are we going to leave a legacy of life?
We all have to stand before a holy God and answer to him.
What do you believe that or not doesn't make it any less effective?
And when you stand before him, what are you going to say?
Are you going to say that you allowed this evil to come into our neighborhood?
If you're not going to stand opposed to give it to him,
you're going to have to answer to what all you've got.
You're going to have to answer to the people that are around you,
and you're committing what type of legacy are we going to live here?
Thank you.
I'm Carolyn Santanis, I live in Westland, over I grew up here.
First of all, I want to say, I don't envy any of you on this decision.
And J.C., you've done an amazing job.
So I am very four-plan parenthood because no man that can't carry a child
should be told what we do with our bodies.
No church should tell us what we should do with our bodies.
Nobody's telling any woman in here, if you're pregnant tomorrow, you need to go have an abortion.
That's not what it's about. It's about women's rights and women's choices. And that's it.
Thank you.
Hi. I'm Dr. Perez. I'm at 931 North View Street. I'll just keep this short and simple.
I'm 100% support plant parent coming here. And I hope that you guys really think and consider a lot of the options said.
and other people can put your feelings aside and that is everything that I support it.
Thank you.
My name is Danielle Fielan.
I'm here from Utah.
I grew up in Highland, a very safe, small town.
It's run by a lot of big cities through state.
It was clean.
We didn't have many problems.
You could leave your garage door open at night.
And all your stuff is doing your garage the next day.
I do want to say, run up in Utah, you don't have to say no, you don't have to have
with their stores near as much as in Nevada, right?
Some laws keep a cleaner environment.
You guys decide to have casinos and the casinos, that's okay.
The issue that we're here to talk about today is abortion, right?
To save or to end a human life.
We overcomplicate things, you know, since it's a dawn of time, we know what happens when
we're moving this pregnant.
It's a child. A child is born. That's when it comes down to you.
Even if we weren't to say, we don't know for sure whether or not it's a life.
Wouldn't you want to stay on the safe side and say, okay, well, would I be on the side of
chilling the life or keep in the life? And I think even if we can't all agree whether or not
when it starts, we need to know that we should probably stay on the side of keeping a life.
Because we're all here today because our mothers decided to let us live.
There's lots of kids out there that have been awarded.
They didn't get that chance.
That's not it.
Thank you.
My name is Starman.
I've lived here for years.
Everyone knows me.
I chose to have my children and they've been the greatest joy of my life.
But I had a lot of friends that chose not to have their babies.
What about those girls?
Those girls live in torment, even to this day, and we're not yet.
I've got one cousin that wakes up because she hears her baby cryin.
It's been over 50 years.
What about these girls?
You suck that baby out, you send them out the door and they're on their own.
I've got to say.
Thank you.
When over has been my hometown since 2012 when I came here from the Philippines,
here, primary is very low, no pollution, no traffic, totally different from
right here, where I came from. I think it's a good place to raise the family,
but there is one thing I was wishing for when over to have a hospital.
And I had three pregnancies and it's not easy to drive for almost two hours every time
the baby comes. But by the grace of God, my two boys, they're seven and eight now, and
they're healthy. Traveling to Salt Lake or Elco to get medical care is now just a part of
when we were like, then came the news of plan
parenthood coming here.
I thought, do we really need this?
Most of the services that they claim to offer are already
offered at our clinic here.
Like Pap smear, breast exam, birth control, of course,
except insertion or removal of IUD, SDDNH, HIV care and prevention, and to mention more.
And all these services are confirmed available.
The only services that we don't have here, which grandparents who could provide are
prenatal care, gender affirming, and from what I've heard, prenatal care sometimes are
and even available, gender affirming hormone therapy and abortions, about 96% of their services
for pregnant women are abortion, 41% nationwide is done by planned parenthood, as somebody
who is against this proposal, I would like to implore to you.
our good councilman to ponder if landparenthood will be beneficial to our community.
Last year, landparenthood Association of Utahs annual report showed 18.2 million in revenue.
7 million of this is net profit. They are registered as non-profit organization, meaning they will not bring tax revenue to our city.
They receive federal tax dollars of $633.4 million last year.
That could instead be directed towards federally qualified health centers,
like our clinic here, which offer more healthcare
without the controversy of providing abortions.
If for now we cannot afford for a real hospital.
Why don't we work on getting that money for our own clinic?
It should help. Some people say, hey, but thank you.
Thank you.
Good evening. My name's Isabel Chavez.
I live in 44 Michael Street. I just wanted to add that I am.
Well, first I wanted I am for the Planned Parenthood Clinic.
I did want to mention that casinos do run this town.
Gambleings not for everyone. We do have a liquor store.
All calls not for everyone. We have dispensary and marijuana. It's not for everyone. We are not telling you you need to get an abortion
But it is an option. I can say up that I can say that I did grow up in a religious home. I did grow up going
Tending mass every Sunday, but that is
That is between me
And my religion and my relationship with God. I am not judging or enforcing my religion upon another female. I do know a couple females that have had abortions. I'm not judging them. They can do what they would like with their body.
I just want to add, as Mrs. Durham mentioned, it is separation of state and church. Thank you for your time.
Thank you.
Hello.
My name is Francisco Teo.
And I'm at 2727 west of its Boulevard.
I could say here a talk all day about what I think about abortion, but I feel like everyone
who is at the point did a very good job.
I really want to talk about Jeff Durham's point about the business aspect of everything and
then somebody bringing up the liquor and the gambling and the marijuana in this town.
I received my associate's degree in human services, emphasis and addiction last year, and the number one thing we learn is about how harmful gambling is.
I've experienced it in my own home. It's so hard to live with a person with addiction because you just want to beg them to stop and it's just something that's in its own thing.
Every salary employee from either the Maverick Incorporated or the Peppermint Incorporated is not going to let go of that salary because they believe that in gambling is wrong.
A business of business, money of money, everybody needs to make a living.
Let businesses be businesses, our city model has come grow with us. So let us grow. Let us continue to bring in businesses.
whether it be the benefit of Idaho or Utah or people here in Nevada, it doesn't matter.
I feel like our town needs so much and we should just get it from wherever we can.
It's not about are they doing this for Utah, whatever, who cares?
Because we're doing gambling for Utah, we're doing marijuana for Utah.
It doesn't matter because this town is nothing with any of those things.
At the end of the day, that's just one over it.
If you don't like it, don't live here.
It is what it is.
And that's my point.
Thank you.
My name is Rose Hansen.
I am a 30-plus year resident of Wendover, Nevada.
I didn't intend to talk tonight that I do want you to realize some of the repercussions
of an abortion. I found out about my sister's abortion after a practice in high school.
She was a very sweet person. She had a mistake and decided to have an abortion because
you can get one. She has had mental issues and has not been the same since. There are repercussions
that this town is not prepared to handle. And I just hope that you will keep that in mind
when you make your decision tonight. Thank you. Thank you.
My
name is Rosacobaruvia, I'm living here since 33 years ago in 1962, can you see it?
I didn't everybody knows me, but I want to tell you guys one experience when I was 40 years old, I find out I was pregnant twins.
They told me, my girl, supposed to have dumb syndrome, and if I don't want the product,
they can put little child, and she can wait in my mom, she'll be out there, I'm sorry, she'll be out of the other one.
So, I was thinking about it, they sent me a lot of persons to talk to me, and I choose
live.
I told them to let him alone and let her alone, and I choose live, and when she was born,
and I asked the doctor, and they say, well, she's good,
and I say, but how she looks like,
and says, she's good.
She's healthy and everything.
So they went to school, they graduated in 2018, 2019,
they born in the 911,
and
get, they graduated with donors.
Both of them, she joined the Air Force.
And I just wanted to share this.
She was the Airman.
She used to live in England,
and she was the airmen of the men, of the year.
This is Kovaruvia's ex-boyfriend, the ex-elefs, peers, and she's joined the Air Force.
So, I can tell you a lot of stuff about them.
I'm a normal mother, but of what I say, if I respect, if somebody wants to have an abortion,
everybody can have an I respect that, but they can go out of the window.
We don't need an abortion clinics.
Yes, we need a real hospital, but not clinic that the priority is for abortions.
Please say no to that. Thank you.
Thank you.
My name is Tracy Murphy.
I live at 2-0-1 North Cottonwood Drive.
West Wind over Pilot.
I was that 17-year-old sitting at high school graduation
with a baby in my tummy.
My mom knew that my dad did not.
And we purposely waited to be past the point
I've been able to have an abortion because I knew that my dad would try to make me have an abortion.
So I waited.
But the point that I want to make right now is that baby is 41 and has given me three grandchildren.
And I have heard nobody talk about their grand babies.
What if you got rid of the child that gave you your families? I have eight of those, and that is the reason for living is because we can have families after we raise our children. Please don't let this happen.
Thank you.
The thermostone 60, 30 pi sounds.
My body, my body, I was to be pregnant,
but it is not my body anymore.
Lip.
If I were a bit, I'm sorry.
This is my body, but my body is not my body anymore.
It's my child's body.
They give child the sideway.
He knows that what he wants to do.
If he wants to be a lot for that.
So this is my body, but I'm afraid it is not my body anymore.
I'm here to thank you guys for the decision you're about to make.
Whether it's a yes or no.
I respect it.
What I'm very concerned is that,
a first of things that almost sounded threatening.
I hope I misunderstood that but it did sound that.
There's many good points brought up.
Some I agree with, some I don't.
Bottom line is what they decide to do is none of my business.
You know, none, whatever choice you guys make.
It's really none of my business.
It's not gonna affect me either way.
Unfortunately, I can feel that way
because I'm not in the predicament that some people may or may not be.
I'll remember Hanson.
Customs for you,
Customs for employers,
Customs foriano,
Johnny Gordon,
Inspector Mayor.
Thank you for your service.
I am a friend
No matter what decision you make.
I'm going to take a
look at the park.
Sure.
You're a cop.
I'm just going to tell you what that's like.
What are you doing?
Somebody to catch the members.
No, that I've been trying to get urgent health care out here.
Let me count to remember, no, I've been working on urgent health care.
But pretty much the people on this end of it, and I got a person helping me, Devon, that is a people too.
We've been trying to secure land and the building and working close on that.
The biggest trouble we've had is having people that are able to do the job.
Like doctors come out.
A sacred health care, we could have exactly right.
Secret circle health care, they had a meeting with Utah last Wednesday and they're ready to come out here and put a building to play.
We're trying to get to 25-hour urgent health care.
So this isn't the only medical that's coming out here.
There's others pushing that make their way this way.
The rest I ask you guys to table this is because the situation is we got a meeting with the Monday at noon.
They want to do it today, but they're going through these obstacles that we have to do a building and stuff so I just want to be up front on that.
So thanks guys.
Thank you.
Would you like to come home?
One more.
Come on.
May.
Okay.
It's going ahead.
I'll do it.
But this is last one.
Did you, sorry.
Go ahead.
There were others who took seconds.
Go for it.
And this is not the buffet.
Yes, I'd just like to remind all the people to be sure to be sure to, sorry, don't we,
in polite and facing the audience.
Yes, just like to remind everybody, be sure to ask the lovely people from Planned
Aaron Hood, who done this presentation for us and have traveled all the way from California,
asked them, who was the European leader that Margaret Sanger meant with?
I think it's an interesting question, and also what is what happens to the fetuses?
Okay.
Thank you.
What's your veto?
Thank you.
All right.
I think I have plenty of who come out and address some of these.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to some of the public comments.
I think most importantly to address the staffing concerns.
So I'm kind of a multi has an active partner with the National Health Service Corps,
which is an organization that focuses directly on open-term action,
Physicians visited the rural physicians and areas like West Wind over that have I met
Need and put them in contracts for two to three years at a time.
So we're in partnership with them and able to start working on the application process once the building is in progress.
We're also working on an active partnership with the rural family medicine program in Elco,
to secure ongoing recruitment for physicians moving forward.
So it's really important to remind you of my presentation, staff,
We believe that helps elevate the quality of a comprehensive and medicine program, and that would be that our expectation here, as well, in addition to securing the IntQA patient-centered medical home recognition that we have in our other family medicine sites, we would expect the same type of recognition to occur in West Wind over, which will help with our commitment providing that comprehensive primary care that I reviewed during the presentation.
I think also important to call out that it is different that we offer comprehensive primary care and at many
plant-parenthoods, the focus is sexual or reproductive health, which is an essential set of services.
Marmante is a different kind of plant-parenthood, and that we've been offering the comprehensive primary care for 25 years,
which focuses on wellness, cancer, screenings, but also on episodic care for children, like broken bones,
people who need suturing if there's a laceration, people of complex medical conditions
as I mentioned with presentation like diabetes, hypertension, and prenatal care, which is
another service line that we currently offer at Marmante. So we have our commitment that is
something that we are already providing, and our service territory, and our prepared to bring
it to West Wind over. Happy to answer any additional questions.
Okay, here we know other questions. I think we're going to close the public hearing at this time.
And
yeah, we want to make sure that the individual is wrong.
We do have some additional people from plant care put on the phone. Are you there, Tom?
Oh, I'm sorry, Tom's here, sorry.
I'm sorry.
The spacey are you there?
Yes.
We just got back on the floor.
OK.
Is Lauren?
Jamil?
I'm here.
Jeff?
OK.
So we got Lauren and Jamil.
How about Erica?
OK.
We've got a couple more people on the phone.
I'm here.
At this point, time we're going to close the public hearing and open it back up to regular
media.
Number two, discussion and decision regarding proposed approval or denial of a conditional
use permit located at 1890 West Public Boulevard for Plan 4. Plan 2 of Marmante.
Okay, so now this
is the chance that the council or actually Chris is going to come down and give a review of
I'm not going to speak about worship or against my job with you as the Council was to review the required
CUP process for an applicant that approached the city about a project.
So I know you've all had the memo, but just for the record, so that it's there.
I want to review that component with you, and as well for the public that is here.
So the CUP provisions, which is what I'm speaking about, are covered in a title in each
chapter 10 of our city code.
This portion of the code covers zoning and development matters for the city and
In particular, depending on the zone, conditional use permits, also referred to as CUP's,
R at times required, such CUP's are issued and generally run with the land once they're issued.
The properties within C1 zoning districts of which this project would be potentially located,
the CUP's are required no matter what the type of development is,
even if it is a primary permitted use, so list done in the C1 code.
So, such primary uses include barber beauty shops, craft and hobby shops,
nature services, flower shops, professional offices, retail clothing stores,
retail establishments, selling a line of convenience.
Good, similar to that of supermarkets, but more limited in scale.
Retail food services, self service car washes, self service laundry
and self service dry cleaning establishments.
Lawdry and or dry cleaning pick up outlets and similar commercial
recollectivities as those noted above.
The reason for the CUP in the C1 neighborhood commercial zone, which is also
termed as a convenience commercial, is that at times and depending on the
proposed locations, use of the property, such developments can have a direct
negative impact on a residential neighborhood due to elements of the project
environmental conditions. I provided for you an example in the report that I completed and provided
to you. That example was for a project that was proposed across from the existing car wash
on the corner of the web-low Boulevard and Northeastern Street. That project was for a convenience store
service station, Laundromat fast food, type service operation, potentially a Laundromat.
In proceeding through the land use development and this was some time ago.
This was many years ago because we don't have these things come up that often.
In proceeding through the process, in reviewing the facts of findings related to the project
And in receiving the public comment, and specifically the comments from those properties
that were affected directly by the potential project.
The council at that time made a determination to deny the C&P based on those.
Those complaints include a traffic congestion, smoke and orders, and teams that would
be generated from the potential business as a result of the fast food operation and lawn
or Matt chemicals, et cetera, that would affect the neighborhood
which this project was directly against.
I use that straightforward example for you.
Again, because these things aren't going to come up regularly
with the city, it just depends on the C1 zone
and a project being developed on it.
And the purpose of that is to ensure the residential neighborhoods
are protected from developments, which
can have a negative impact on somebody's residential property,
there are investments, general provisions of peace, et cetera.
So then I turned to the existing CUP application that was filed with the city.
That property is located in a C1 zone on quite a level of art,
which is a major arterial street under our design standards.
And as a major arterial street,
that is designed to have the highest traffic flows within the community,
similar to winter, it's not similar same as winter for full of art.
I also showed you in that document the adjacent properties that were within the 300 foot bark.
So the application here was the purpose of use was for medical clinic,
professional office, which falls into the primary use category in C1Zones as professional offices.
This would be the same for other similar small medical clinics and family practice offices,
And though our code does not specifically define professional offices, the general law definition
of that is professional offices means offices maintained and used as a place of business conducted
by persons, such as doctors, dentist, osteopathic physicians, naturopathic physicians,
chiropractors, opometres, but we're in no overnight care for patients as given.
By engineers, attorneys, architects, accountants, and other persons of firms, providing services
in a manner that creates land-use impacts similar to the specified uses listed above.
Our code does define clinic as being a building in which patients are provided diagnostic
therapeutic and preventative medical surgical dental or optical treatment by doctors or
groups of doctors, acting jointly but not providing for overnight residents and patients.
Our code also roofs together medical and dental offices and medical clinics under the other code provisions, such as requirements for off-street parking, treating them the same.
The code also clearly delineates medical clinics from other types of clinics, such as veterinary clinics, which are restricted to zones such as M manufacturing and agriculture.
Other examples of medical professional offices would include optometrist, ophthalmologists, such
as those that perform lazy guy surgeries, dentists, oral surgeons, physical therapist,
food and clinics, and many others.
And I get put in a side note and I want to correct an error that I made in my report because
I was going off of memory with a particular property that actually was sold, that the
optometrist has that's no longer owned by the optometrist, so I'm pointing that out because
that's an error in the report I gave you.
The key point being that medical professional
offices, medical clinics, are treated similar
under our code provisions, but hospitals are not.
The proposed use under the currently filed CUP
by PPMM application is not a hospital.
I mentioned that, because there are
maybe some individuals who compare or abuse the two,
hospitals are defined specifically under our code
and contain certain medical functions,
including overnight care of patients, multi-day stays, emergency rooms, facilities like
helipads, et cetera that are associated with hospital facilities.
Those are well beyond the functions of a clinic or a family practice office, hospitals,
a hospital as our code defines would not be in primary use under a C1 zone, but instead
would be located in a higher commercial zone classification or it could be located in a public
zone such as property identified in our Civic Center Master Plan for a version care hospital
here in the city hall area.
Though the current proposed use is a primary use under the C1.
It's still required to code by the code.
The issuance of a CUP by the city council for development.
That's why it was on the agenda.
That's why there was the public hearing.
It was all related around the CUP process.
And that process includes the council taking an action to either prove or deny.
and applicant. If the developer had selected another property in a C2 or C3 zone, if such
property were available or met their needs, there would have been no CUP public hearing
for process because the code does not provide for that. However, in this case, the developer
did select this particular property in a C1 zone and based on their needs, location availability
and likely acquisition development costs that all factor into that, that's my assumption,
and that's not anything that I got directly from the developer.
Much like was done in the convenience store
example years ago at the intersection of Pueblo Boulevard
and Northeastern, the council in this process certainly
is her public opinion with regard to maybe not necessarily
the CUP process, but issues that they have over all.
And whatever nature and intent that is, that's why you heard
that in the public hearing process.
However, when the council does make a CEV decision, the council needs to appropriately consider
the factual findings that are related to the application and request.
In such instance, it is the community development department that is tasked by the city
to review the applications for these kinds of C1 issues, determine the factual findings, which
there are common categories that we use in the code for that, and present those to the
along with the recommendation. In the case of this current CUP request, the documents provided
included the property purchase agreement, development plans, and the business narrative
of services, and so I'm providing you the following review from that. First is the vehicular
traffic flows and a congestion off-site. The development is served by the Street Facility
of Pueblo Boulevard. Pueblo Boulevard is a major arterial street designed under the city's
work standards and specifications. Thus, as a major arterial street, it has the highest traffic
flow designs capable under our standards and codes. Obviously, today, Pueblo Boulevard,
which you all know, does not carry its full capacity. A traffic unlikely won't for decades
to come, but that is its actual design. So the base, based on that street design, traffic flows
congestion, the findings with regards to vehicular traffic flows congestion was a negative,
no
physical transit access offsite, the noted project is with regard to the vehicular traffic analysis
is designed under the major arterial street standards. Thus access is designed for the heaviest
of pedestrian bicycle and eventual transit flows. That's bus traffic. The finding is of neutral
or no negative impact. With regards to vehicular and pedestrian bicycle flows in emergency
The proposed on-site developments as shown in the current design documents provided to the city
provide adequate bicycle and pedestrian access, vehicular parking, circulation and emergency
response access, the findings of a neutral or no negative impact.
Utility access and availability off-site and on-site.
As with the state design, the noted property is service by all major utilities including water, sewer,
electric data telecommunications and inappropriate capacities.
Additionally, the proposed development plan provides for adequate utility access and
servicing for local utilities, including garbage, water metering, and electric utility
easement access.
In particular, to the electric utility, well, the electric companies engineering department
has reviewed the conceptual drawings that were provided in the application and has indicated
that they have no issues as it relates to their utility easements and access, which this
particular property in this area is greatly affected by utility easements for power.
Thus, given that there is no finding a negative impact, the environmental public health
and safety, this includes items such as smoke, noxious odors, petroleum, or other chemical
based fuels or oils, or other environmental emissions, as well as soil erosions, flood hazards
or impediments to the emergency response capabilities.
The noted project will not produce smoke, not just soders, or rather similar environmental
emissions, nor will it still work, or how is the use of petroleum or chemical fuels
or oils, such as what you might find in mechanics, shop, gas stations, etc., that a project
Development as presented does not create conditions associated with soil erosion, flood hazards,
nor creates impediments to emergency response capabilities, as such there was no finding
of negative impact.
The proposed facility development, as seen in the current development designs that were provided
to the city, the noted property adequately accommodates the facility design and size, and
its orientation, while still incorporating adequate landscape, green-skate thus providing
The facility design is architecturally aesthetically appropriate under our codes and does not track from the property or surrounding properties with that design.
But as you will see in the provided plans of it is an enhancement to the area with regards to the project. There is no finding of negative impact.
Residential neighborhoods within the 300 foot arc and the 300 foot arc. The 300 foot arc is an important component in our code.
As noted, the C1 zoning district is a neighborhood commercial district, or otherwise called a convenience district.
There are no existing neighborhoods located within the 300 foot art.
From property corners, lot lines associated with the CUP property, which is a specific importance under that process.
Other properties are properly developed within the 300 foot art or commercial businesses under C1 and C3 zones.
C1 being again, convenience, neighborhood of commercial, C3 zones are unlimited commercial, so that's quite open to anything.
Those are shown in Figure 2, which was in the document.
Those include the USPS, flower shops, beauty, hair salons, general-large retail, small retail, financial institution, and a church.
Thus, in consideration of the 300 foot arc and possible negative impacts to a residential neighborhood,
There was a finding of no negative impact.
Non-developed properties within the 300 foot art.
Excuse me.
Properties which remain undeveloped within the 300 foot art
are zone, C1, C2, or C3, all levels of commercial zone.
Additionally, there is properties on residential RMF,
residential multi-family located south and south east
of the CUP property.
A cross-privileb of a lot of art, that property
has not yet been developed, yes, you all know.
The property, as noted, is RMF residential multi-family,
which is the highest density housing zone in the city,
and is related primarily to the development
of apartment complexes.
That RMF property is separated by the major
archery of the street of Pueblo Boulevard,
which by our standards is considered a street separation buffer.
So Pueblo Boulevard, like when the Boulevard separates
uses potentially due to how it's designed.
Thus, even at this point in time, and thus, even at point in time in the future when the RMM
property may be developed, in review the finding of impacts was neutral to that property.
Public safety related to civic protest, this was something that was added to the review
categories, particularly the item given the background of the proposed PPMM business and
test, which are often there by associated with the name Plan Parenthood, given the location
of the project and its access from Pueblo Boulevard as noted in the offsite street
components about the public facilities at this location would be adequate for what may be
the typically associated display of peaceful protests.
The public facility design, which is the street design, is of the highest use flow
unlike what might be associated with a similar activity on a street of a lesser design standard
such as a lane in a residential street or a collector street,
such as Outpoint Street.
Additionally, there are no existing residential neighborhoods
located within the 300 Khdark of their proposed facility.
And a potential future RIMF residential development
would again be separated by a plethora of already major
virtual street.
Thus, in review of the impacts that would be neutral.
So in conclusion, in the review from the community
development department side of the request of the CUP, under those general review categories
that were considered, there was a finding of neutral or no negative impacts associated
with the proposed CUP and the related project. Thus, the recommendation would have been
would be to grant the CUP request. This recommendation is based on the materials currently
provided to the city, does not account for any additional information that could be made
perspective. There is no design. There is no denying that not as a result of the proposed
use, which is a medical clinic professional office. But instead is directly associated
with a particular business name operation. There is public pressure for the Council
and possibly deny the CUP based upon specific political social beliefs and or point
of view opinions regarding some of the potential activities of that business. And I think
that is evident in tonight's public hearing.
In the current circumstance, the proposed use,
and I know this was mentioned in different ways,
but the proposed use is not an illegal or prohibited use
in the city, nor in the state of Nevada.
The business operation, plant parenthood,
Marmont, take operates over 30 some facilities
in confetti, excuse me, in California,
and a facility, also in Reno, Nevada.
The business is governed in licensed under the authority
and statutory requirements of the State of Nevada Secretary of State, the medical examiners
board and the State of Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, as well as other
federal licensure provisions.
As said earlier, it is legal business with legal business operations in the State of Nevada
and is not prohibited in the city of Codes.
With regards to making any decision, if it is the prerogative of the Council that if the
public hearing has been completed and you have all the relevant information provided to make
decision, but you want more time to digest such information, the council may table the matter
to the next regular council meeting, that is acceptable.
Or if the council feels appropriate, you of course can make a decision at tonight's meeting
given it's on the agenda and the public here.
As well at the council discretion, there can be general conditions placed on the approved
CUP, but such conditions must be trained to the proposed project.
So those generally include things like time limits on construction.
That's a potential condition that the CUP is not to run with the land, but instead
is linked specifically to a property owner.
So if there's a property owner change, then the CUP has to come back up for you.
I'm clarifying that as a professional office an overnight care can be provided, identifying
particular services that should be provided, and other germane conditions, non-germane
would be something such as the Council is saying for a CUP you've got to build a park
to block down the road that would not be germane to the project, so that's not something that
that type of thing would be something you would consider.
So I provide that to you, that's not for against anything, that's just what I've required
to do under the code on your behalf, as a community development department, and the intent
is not to offend anybody or anything like that, it's just the job that we have to do
to evaluate the CUP process, which is very specific, and present that to you as a recommendation
and after going through those categories of review.
So if you have any questions, I can answer those for you.
Otherwise, that's all I have to say.
Well, you guys think you have a question for Chris?
I've been questioned a long week.
Anybody have a question for Chris on his memo
on his presentation?
OK, thank you, Chris.
I'm here.
OK, at this time, I'd like to open up discussion
for the council with that parenthood
that you might have any questions, comments, concerns that didn't get addressed, and you would like to address.
Thank you.
Anybody have questions?
Yeah.
So I think the main focus for staffing the clinic on a regular basis will be the needs of less
windover for the primary care clinic.
Typically, family medicine physician would see about eating patients a day.
In a traditional schedule, certainly if we are able to secure additional staff and had extended hours
in that volume would increase.
It would be hard for us to predict patients traveling outside of less windover that volume at this time.
But certainly at that time, we do see patients who are outside of our service territory who are coming to us for other services.
But the main focus would be on staffing for the primary care patients for the volume that it gave you.
So another concern of mine is let's say something was wrong in the procedure.
And I'm taking care of that patient where we don't have a hospital.
What kind of procedure are you speaking about?
Any procedure that can be possibly done.
Right now we have a drive.
Like, if you're coming from Salt Lake, that's good,
because you're correct in the back.
Some people are fine.
You can just check yourself into the hospital.
Where someone's something was wrong here.
How are we going to help with the matter of any of this?
Thank you for clarifying.
So I think our focus is really to stop the clinic with a physician that has
training, specific and rural, or what we call frontier medicine, which gives them an advanced
skill set to handle more medical emergencies than you would think of in an urban, outpatient
setting.
So having more equipment and procedural skills to handle more of those emergencies in the
health center setting, and then having transfer agreements to escalate to higher level of care
if that has to happen.
I think the goal is to make sure that the procedures were providing in the health center within
the scope of a rural or frontier family medicine provider who has the equipment on site to handle
any associated emergencies in that rare event.
So we've heard a lot of numbers tonight.
Anywhere from abortion being 95% to 5%.
That's kind of a wide range.
I tried to go on the internet.
By the way, you can get alternate facts on the internet
any time 24 hours a day.
All right?
So all these facts that everybody's strong,
you can find something else that says something else.
I would like to know, do you have the numbers what you think it is over your past decade, history, a parent-parenthood in?
We're from on tape.
So, from our Monterey abortion procedures, our services are less than 5% of our total services.
So, the majority of the work that we do is in comprehensive primary care and sectional reproductive health,
writing cancer, screening, contraception, STI testing, and treatment, long-distance lines.
So I'm kind of in the middle of this.
I would like to disclose that I'm an employee for an about a house nurse.
That's when it's here.
And I'm a mom, which I think that kind of concerns me a lot when I think about this coming.
I think, well, are they going to have counseling?
I saw in here that it says counseling.
I wanted to know to what degree you offer counseling.
And then also like Robert said,
the wind over is a very small town where far away from both our nearest hospitals.
And then working at the clinic, there's been situations where we can't get an ambulance because they're out of town on a call.
We can't get air-met here.
So what equipment, like you said, you have,
What staff in the trainees do you have in case an abortion go from and what can go wrong?
Lots of questions I go through.
I'm also a mom.
I just wanted to connect with you on that level and let you know that I understand that your groups are about that.
In our family medicine program, we have an integrated program, which means that our behavioral health providers work alongside our family medicine physicians to provide community repair and also that warming and off and patient care.
So as an example, I could be seeing a patient who had anxiety depression and I can say,
the best possible outcome for you is if I could be medication and you receive counseling services.
And if it goes through a patient-centered and poor physician-making process,
and the patient says, yes, I want to do both, then I can bring in the behavioral health provider
who's working alongside me, introduce them and do a warm hand-off.
So it proves that continuity of care.
It also is just easier.
Like as you know, it's hard to go to different places to access care.
and so having it all in one health center setting really helps because you already know the staff,
but you know the environment.
So I think that that's something that you would explore for West Wind over.
It was not, you know, I think that that's an additional challenge to terms of staffing
and there's some telehealth remote options that we could look at.
But it is an established model that we have already in our Family Medicine program,
and that exists at four months.
And then you asked about emergencies,
and are you specifically asking about abortion procedures?
Are you asking about any other types of emergencies?
And you know, there we've had people like go into A-Fib, heart attacks, I'm mostly concerned
about like abortions because of blood loss.
So I think that's a much higher answer before.
I think that it's really about making sure that we're hiring somebody who was trained in that type
of setting.
So certainly if we hire somebody who's trained in an urban setting and now which is anywhere
they're always able to refer someone to the hospital and never manages that type of
to see that that person is not the right state for what's going to over.
So we're going to look for somebody that was specifically trained at a rural family medicine program.
That's the basis of their training.
All their training was done in the rural setting, where there was a access to higher level of care.
So they can have that skill set to manage those emergencies in the health center.
So it's really our only approach to the state, each of that person has that skill set.
And that's the person that's exactly the clinic on a regular basis.
A portion for theater competitions are extremely rare, and also can be managed most often in the health center setting.
And then, how do you plan to, what's your step in looking like? Is it going to be like PA's?
This is MD's, like our MD's going to be solely here to provide low portion part of it.
And then they're going to take care of for the nurses and VA's are going to take care of the primary care of it.
Or what we want to do is bring in a certified chemical medicine physician to provide the primary care to the residents of West Point over.
We're quieted, but our goal is to staff with a family physician as the means source of care, because we feel like it's that dream that they have in the rural family medicine program that's going to provide a higher quality care, and to address your concern about C.D. really be able to handle those medical emergencies.
Okay. And then why went over? And why?
I guess why not before, because why not?
I think that's a great question.
So I think Marmante, we're always looking at ways
that we can make an impact for communities that have had many.
We serve a lot of communities that are in more world settings
throughout California.
Westland over is in our territories.
So we've all of Northern Nevada is part of our
scientific territory in the San Paret Hurt Model.
And when we were first looking at Westland over,
I believe that later the summer we spoke to the prior mayor, be sure with us the concern
that you all had as a community about primary care and it became this opportunity for us.
So like we do that, like we're different, we're not like all other plant parenthoods.
We have this very robust program that needs national criteria to be part of our commission program.
We have dedicated physicians, who have dedicated services to program.
In addition to myself as a family medicine provider and physician and so we felt like it was good match.
And
then what do you do as far as promoting like birth control?
Are you out of schools? Are you out of public?
Are you or do you promote it?
Or prevent it? Like how are we, what do you mean by promoting birth control?
Yeah, do you promote like birth control so we don't have to do abortions?
So, as part of visits when we see patients, we ask patients that they're open to talking about their pregnancy intention and the next year, or just in general, and if they're open to having that conversation, we really focus on what's called patients that turned contraceptive counseling, which really just says instead of me saying, hey, you're not on birth control. I really think you should be. I ask you the question, hey, would you like to talk about birth control today? And then if you say yes, I am interested in talking about it.
But we talk about what's really important to you in a virtual method.
So is it managing side effects?
Is it efficacy of the method, et cetera?
So we go through this process, again, that's very patient centrally.
What is it that I want out of the method?
How important is it to me to prevent a pregnancy?
Or is it more important to me to address some type of side effect that I'm coming in my life?
And so we integrate that into the majority of our visits.
But it always starts with that you want to have this conversation with me today, not a paternalistic approach, or I tell you, we're going to talk about personal today.
And then Sonagata doesn't have consent for abortion.
What is a youngest age or take for an abortion?
And how do you help them or guide them through that without parent or adult knowledge?
We will always follow the local state and regulations so as they change and evolve we're always going to follow what is the legal guidance and regulations at that time.
And then we have different types of counseling available for supporting different people based off multiple factors through the process.
If there is a tendency whether it is the option of counseling for adoption and parents.
Look.
You done with?
No, for now.
Okay, first off, thank you guys for coming out and doing this presentation.
I know it's not easy, but I just want to first off thank everyone for all public.
For coming out, hosting your opinion, this means a lot and it shows that you guys really care about this community.
That's what all sorts of us do up here is just care for this community.
We want the best for this community.
But I do have some questions.
I'm one of the biggest advocates to get health care here in Wonderland.
I've tried.
Trust me for the last four years.
I've tried.
May calls.
Try again.
I've got the mayor involved now.
A lot of great people have tried to help me.
But yet we can't get the services that we want here in Wonderland.
So it's hard for me to kind of swallow to say,
These services you provide with great communities,
but that just controversial elements,
that just kind of sits in a very sour note for a lot of us.
Especially this big community here.
Some are for it, some are against it.
But that's the opinion.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you that.
I know what a woman's going through, because I don't.
Now I'm not going to touch that subject.
But I do care about this community.
After us, we have to get a private entity in the city to provide housing for MDs that
have been here for years.
We have housing that we have to pay as a city and a private entity that has to pay
for a pay to come here and stay here.
when somebody in the clinic should be doing that, okay?
So that's one thing.
All these services that you provide, again,
it's something that we really need.
But how often are you going to rotate
for missions and these physicians who will come out
because when dovers are really unique place?
I've seen a lot of PAs come,
so I've seen a lot of, a lot of, a lot of them meet.
So, how can somebody get comfortable and get to know their physician or MD when they go
on a yearly visit, my monthly visit, whatever the case might be?
When there's constant rotation of MDs, that's me doesn't sit well because of us as a
community, we want that interaction, that trust with our physician.
That's why a lot of us go into Salt Lake City because we can have that personal relationship.
But the sustainability of having all these services here went over, is that something
that you guys can guarantee to this community that you will provide?
And you also said that 5% is your abortions.
Can you practice these services without a portion?
in your clinic, in West Wind over, that's one of the questions that I have.
So, first let me ask the questions again, how often are you going to rotate positions?
Can you provide all these services except that 5% of abortions?
Because 95% is pretty much the most efficient services you can provide.
You can answer that in the way.
Great. I think your point about continuity and developing a trusting relationship with your provider.
Like, resonates. While with me, that's really the whole point of coming in medicine is to build those lasting relationships and take care of families and take care of multiple generations for decades.
And so it is really important. And when your provider is constantly changing and you can't develop those relationships, you start to realize the infrastructure of the whole,
like, the
work with the National Health Service Corps because the reason that they exist is to help solve these
issues that rural communities like Westwind over have. And so the contracts are typically
two to three years. So full time, we have the same physician, five days a week for two to three years.
And then goal is that the physician stays after that. So that during those two to three years,
there is this kind of melding and affirmation into the community and this desire to stay
and continue. I think that for me to guarantee that, I'm not able to do that, right?
that will be up to that provider when our contract ends,
but that's what we're going to be working towards.
That's also why we're working on the partnership
with the World Summit Medicine Program in Elco,
which is the trigger recruit someone also
who is interested in longevity in the community.
And I think I'm not the only one who feels this way
about family medicine, most people who go
in a family medicine, believe in this continuity.
And so finding someone who is world trained
who wants to get back to communities for decades
is what we're going to be hiring for.
So we certainly do not want fast turn over either, so just to kind of we need that.
And then abortion is part of our course service line, and so we will provide abortions
that all of our health centers, so that is just part of what we do and we believe it's part
of our kind of essential health care services that we offer.
Well, one more question.
You said you had all these clinics in rural areas, up in California, correct, majority of
in California, that's correct.
How far from the, how far from the city, how does this mean you have to scan?
So if you have a clinic in the rural area, stuff like West Point, over half far is to the next
big city.
That's a great question.
I would say that none of, so we have all of the central valley, I don't know if you're familiar
of the central valley of California, so that's a good field all the way to northern Sacramento
and there are many small towns that this between Sacramento and the New Zealand.
I would say that none of them are as rural as Westwind over, and so that's why it's
so important for us to focus more on rural family medicine or frontier for the medicine
training and staff position, which is not our focus in California.
We do still focus on fortified family medicine positions, but we don't require them to have
right training, which would be critical and required for the staffing of this clinic here.
So again, if the staff, for example, wants to go see a concert, they can just drive
20 minutes, 30 minutes, 30 minutes, 30 miles to the next big city.
Well, I don't, I tend to find the city, right? I would say.
Well, all of you seeing over 20,000.
These are great questions. I feel like I don't have a great answer for you. I would say that
cities that we serve in California, more of them are more rural than that traditional
or have been setting, but are not as rural as less than ever.
Besides that, you offer cancer screening,
like colorectal and breast and particular.
Are those like you're going to do the colonoscopy here,
or you're going to refer them out?
Like mammograms, are you going to do the mammograms here,
or you're going to refer them out?
Good.
That's a great question.
So for colon, for colon cancer screening, a current recommendation for average risk individuals
is to do non-invasive annual at home testing.
One of those tests is called the fit testing, so it's something that our provider would
write in prescription for, and then do the kit to take home, and I get mailed into the lab.
And that's done on an annual basis.
And then colonoscis are only needed if that test is positive, or if there's some higher risk
situation.
So that would be what we would focus on for colon cancer screening.
For breast cancer screening, we would be doing clinical breast exams as indicated in the health
center, and then we would work on a partnership to bring a mobile, um, a biography unit
of the site like to be in the part of the order to provide mammograms on site, whatever
cadence made sense based off the demand of the community.
And then, um, we do cervical cancer screening with hot smears, which we've done in the health
center, and then prostate cancer screening, um, as indicated based off, uh, informed
So then these patients will be referred out for now.
Still, they'll still have to drive out,
you're going to call anoscopy and drive out to get a
mammogram.
Unless they do the fit test that's at home.
So if a colonoscopy indicated which would not be
our recommendation for the average risk individual
then correct, they would refer that out.
And then for mammograms, our goal is to bring
and I'm overwhelmed with an algorithm unit on site,
so that people could get a mammogram
when they're on site here and what's left over.
If we were to approve the CUP permit today,
do you have a goal of how long you would want
to mammal then to be on site?
I think it depends on reviewing the patient's demand
and so how many patients do we have?
And it gives us time here that are due
for the breast cancer screening.
So it may be that we need a mobile unit monthly
or maybe a little bit quarterly, and so for us, we really try to make it in form decisions
that help maintain access to services, and so that partnership would be based off the
need of the community.
Um, did you say you're going to offer a link X-rays?
Yes.
So we'll in X-ray tech be on site as well.
Specifically, rural family medicine physicians are trained in basic X-ray technique,
So did you say you could do casting for a broken bone?
First simple broken bone.
Yeah, not a shadow bone, but a simple broken bone.
You may stop the age and the location.
What about stitches?
Absolutely.
You could do stitches.
A prenatal care, a typical, pregnant person goes to the doctor 10 to 15 times on average depending
on any issues and when the prenatal care started at what time the pregnancy.
And you could do those prenatal visits here at the Plunker Head.
So our current program is to do prenatal care visits up to 32 to 34 weeks before transferring
So it's a blivering provider and so that is our current model.
Okay.
Does anybody else have any questions?
All right.
Okay.
I don't know if it's a question that we see, you know,
this week.
I mean, kind of every on the emails,
taxes and everything.
Our medical clinic.
We have a fine medical clinic.
It's been stated that a lot of these services accept.
It's already provided here in November
today.
So,
I'm just saying I received these things,
and I was asking a question if it was true.
I don't believe all these facilities are available to our.
I have one last thing. Would very parenthood be willing to be under the stipulation of the conditional use permit,
that you need to provide the services that you're listing for our community.
Seven months down the road, this is what I get a lot of seven months down the road, eight months down the road.
There's not staffing.
I mean, this is the window her thing.
There won't be staffing or housing.
could there be a condition on the conditional use permit that if you're not providing all
of the services that you're selling or telling us today that we could pull your current
additional use permit.
That is not our preference.
That's just not how typically our permits are utilized and certainly medicine is a fluid
field and so there's the possibility that new services come online or other services like the
from colonoscopy to test change, and so let's say with colonoscopy's listed on there, but that
medical science said, well, really colonoscopy's aren't really what's recommended.
You've got a bit of testing, and so I think it really starts to interfere with our ability
to practice medicine based off the current level of evidence and standard of care.
And so ensuring that we have that flexibility is really important to us.
But you still be providing the services. It just might not be a colonoscopy. It would be the fit care.
We are committed to providing comprehensive family medicine here in West Point, the first.
It's similar to how we do it in the rest of our territory.
So, what I'm trying to say is if you don't provide the services listed on this list,
a year after you're open, I would like to put a condition that the city council can review it and say this is not what we signed up for.
That's just a recommendation.
This is what I've been thinking about.
I don't know how the Council feels, but I just feel like this has been very tough process,
but I don't want us to be hood-linked.
I want these services.
We need the services.
We're saving somebody eight trips to Salt Lake for prenatal care is huge, you know?
So I just don't want to get established and then down the road, those services slowly
didn't dwindle away and it's only one service.
So that's if the council is doing any motions or considerations I would like to have a review
of the traditional use permit provided that the services told tonight will be provided
to the community, if not then we could review the conditional use permit.
That's all I have.
Okay.
Let me see.
Let me get back to the media.
Okay.
Discussion and decision regarding proposed approval or denial of a conditional use permit,
located at 1890 West Pueblo Boulevard for planned parenthood of Marmante,
for possible action.
I
would like to open the discussion.
I spent the week going around town trying to find out what the community wanted and so.
I want to thank everybody for coming out.
That's a good turn on.
It's happy to see pro and time.
I told myself I'd just be up here to listen, try to make the best choice we can for our community.
My problem with the is
a location.
I'm not saying I'm pro choice.
I mean, there's a God, there's a Lord, there's a Allah, I'm not saying who's right, who's wrong,
I'm not bringing it in, I'm not living into this, all right.
My problem is the location of this.
It's in everybody's business, all right?
It's next to the post office.
I go there five this week, next to the church,
next to the bank, I go there twice a week.
It's a main thoroughfare, this will be in our business every day.
That's my issue.
I think if we could find some place else with it, I just don't.
You know, there was somebody brought up screening.
That's a nice privacy screening.
You won't be able to hide this.
They're seeing that the Utah State legislature.
There's no hiding this, there's no screening this.
This is, will be with us every day.
I go down that bullet burn.
Every day, I will be reminded of my decision here today.
I have yet to still be to sign, because walking through the town,
it's almost just like the great United States
we live in.
It's about 75 to 25.
So, what do you do? Do you go with the majority? Because that's what that's great nation's
body,
right? Who am I to deny any human health care services? I'm not that guy.
I have yet to make this decision.
You're looking for motion? I am looking if there's no other
the
conditional use permit
located at 1890 West Pueblo Boulevard for Planned Parenthood of
Del Monte Incorporated Health.
Councillor, do we need to have a reason for the denial?
Can you give me a little advice on this?
Okay,
I make my decision based on, when I ran for this opposite, I promised the residents of this city that I would make my decisions and the best interests of the city.
And after listening to the crowd, both pro and con, I see that the people do feel that they do not care to have, you can glorify the same medical clinic or whatever.
It should be the other way around an abortion clinic that serves medical medical, but I think in the best interest of the city.
Me being represented in the city that I don't think this should happen.
I second that.
Okay, I have a motion by Councilman Hansen in a second by Councilman Flores.
Roll call.
Councilman Flores?
Nate?
Councilman Regoran?
No way to motion to table it.
I can do more of the research.
Sorry, I have the answer to this.
There's a motion on the floor.
No conditions.
My motion is.
No, no, no.
Without any further conditions.
Sorry, folks, this is a definite.
My Lord says, so I took up.
I go, Nate, could you talk to me?
No, it's Nate.
Councilmember Hanson?
Yeah.
Councilmember Soryano?
Right.
So
it hasn't been easy, I'm split in the middle. I see false views and I think all of us here both
views. I came in with an open mind and I'm going to listen to the presentation and see what
to have to say.
I was expecting more from the presentation. Everyone keeps saying the abortion part
is just one little bit of it but we just left that one little bit of it out and I feel
like I need more information, so if I have to make a motion, then
name.
For moving on.
When you're voting me, are you voting with the motion?
Or against the motion that's made?
With the motion.
I did the motion.
You voted.
And I'm going to need also.
Please vote for the motion that I want.
I meant to say nay.
No.
You're correct.
The motion on the floor is too loud, so I can't say no.
No, I do not support the motion.
I, as I support the motion.
So you're voting with the motion.
Nick, you're voting with the motion.
Can't remember for you.
I, uh,
so when this, um,
it's very hard because a lot of people that voted for me,
uh, to be a city councilman and represent them,
um, I feel like I want to let them down,
But I have to listen to my constituents and the majority are against it, so
Run that one more time
Okay, could we run that one more time exactly we're gonna redo the motion again. We're gonna redo the roll call if you're voting with the motion
Which is to deny the conditional use from it you will I if you're voting against it
Council Member Flores, Council Member Hanson, Council Member Seriano, Council Member Trujillo.
The motion is 4 to 1 to 9.
Okay, that motion does not carry.
I would like to take a moment here to tell you that for the last eight years I have been going to
meeting after meeting on prenatal physical therapy, cardiologist, dialysis, mental health,
to tell a health, every facility, every defibrillator, housing, we have been trying so hard
to get the smallest bit of health care here.
We would go to three meetings just to get one tiny little shred of health care here.
So the nine health care here is going against what I've been trying to do since I've been
on City Council.
I veto.
Question.
Are we denying health care?
Are we denying abortion?
Okay.
So you've had a motion to deny it.
And there is veto that motion.
So we're back to.
It's denied.
It's back to nothing.
That's what the result is.
This denied.
I'm not overturning them, it's back to nothing.
So my veto doesn't change what happened here tonight.
It's denied.
The portal one, and you're going to be able to.
OK, department reports, fire chief.
All right, I'll think.
OK, did anybody have any questions for fire chief?
OK, please.
Thank you.
Any questions for please?
City clerk.
All I think I have is Jim Tramill actually contacted each day.
Thank you, Mayor.
Okay.
We're going to actually stop and have the five-minute recess.
Okay.
So, oh.
Mayor, you're going to have to.
The city clerk. So I was contacted by Jim Tramell today. He's the one that runs the AAU program. And when he was before us, a couple months ago, he had, it was mentioned to possibly do a tournament here in the city. He is working on it and there's one possibly scheduled for October 13th and 14th. He's trying to finalize some of the information and when he gets it finalized till, but everybody knows.
Okay, great. Thank you. Chief Financial Officer.
Public works.
I don't have anything there.
Good.
No mayor, no.
Okay.
Let's start with John.
Why don't you?
Robert?
I might send everyone a packet on the or an email in the commissioner meeting that we had on much
first, nothing too much, I was said, I'd like to thank everyone that came in whether you
afford or against it. You know, at the end I have to listen to the majority.
And like
people said, just remember who voted for one and that's all I can say. That's all I have to say.
Yeah, I just wanted to thank everyone that came out today.
This is never an easy decision.
But again, it's a decision that we made.
It's not the most favorable one.
But in the day, we're tasked and we're honored to make those decisions for you and help out the best of the community.
And we heard a lot of impact from people that don't want it.
Again, I was voted in by the people.
I'm going to listen to the people.
Again, it's one of those things that breaks my heart.
The people have to go through this.
But it's a decision that wasn't made lightly.
It's just a decision that was made.
So that's all I have.
I feel the same as like there was a lot of pressure and I think either way I wanted it.
We were still going to hear the end of it.
Thanks everyone for showing up and for your support.
Thanks for the staff.
Thank you for to Chris, for all the work you do.
And then also, I'm going to say it wrong because I always say wrong.
The Utah side window or prevention is doing the guiding good choices, parenting classes.
It's five classes, two hours on Thursdays, I think.
If you finish, you get a hundred dollars as an incentive.
We only had eight people sign-ups.
I was one of them, and it was a really good class, actually.
So hopefully they can go to get an English and more people can sign-up.
I think the next month they're working on doing it in Spanish, so hopefully we can have more
parents sign up for that and we can be happy to see you.
Thank you.
John?
Well it's because we got on the streets and I got to meet with former Mayor Anderson.
This is the first I've heard about this medical clinic on Utah side.
I believe we will be headed over there on Monday.
We will always fight for any medical facility here and win over.
It's all win over in the battle, win over.
We just need, we just need, we can't keep going down this cycle.
It just,
well you can, but you won't like it.
Okay.
I'd like to say the public, for your great input, there's a lot of passion here tonight,
and I could see it. I'd like to thank Santa ahead for the
presentation, like to thank the city staff and legal and all the
extra stuff that happened up to this meeting. My decision to do what I did is based
on legal, the city. There's no negative impact on the applicant's report.
It advances medical care for our town.
We could debate abortion.
Everybody in the whole country in the whole world is going to debate abortion all of the time.
There's never going to be that way.
There's never going to be an end to it.
I'm not stating my opinion on it.
I'm stating what services I could provide to this town.
As for my social media page, when something comes up
and I'd like to put the plans out there and put what the perspective is coming to our town
to get people involved. People don't come to the meetings, you know, before you know it,
you know, that's more a way to get it out. I didn't seem to be biased. I was just trying to
put out the information, a woes available. So if I offended anybody by acting one way or the
other on social media, I'd like to put the plans out and I'd like to get people involved
because a lot of people don't ever come to these meetings.
So thank you.
I have a question.
Why are we here?
We're going to be here to make a decision
and we make our decision and we're afraid
to be in suit while you become.
I mean, if it's going to be, if we vote against this thing,
we're going to vote enough, we're going to be suit.
I will waste everybody's time.
You should just put it in.
That would be a good question for legal.
No, yeah, yeah, why should we be here?
If there's a chance that we don't both the way they want different souls, I don't believe very well.
That's from the deal.
I said enough.
A little too much for me.
Can I get approval?
Approval of the claim for March 7, 2023.
I make a motion when we approve the claim for March 7.
That's 20.
Second.
Okay.
I got a motion by Councilman Gorman.
A second by Councilwoman.
Sorry, I don't know.
All in favor.
All right.
Any opposed?
Coming from the general public.
You could just come right up here in line.
Everybody, if you want to do that again?
I don't know if I can do that.
My whole mic.
I just want to thank you guys.
Obviously, it was an incredibly difficult decision to make.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
State your name and your address.
Absolutely.
for Nandalseros, 619 Attachings Lane, and this is difficult for me to
word because while I want to thank you, I also want to mention. The opportunity
was given to us on a silver platter, because as you had to mention thoroughly,
not a lot of people come to us, quite the opposite. We have to go to other clinical
clinics and medical facilities to get them to even hear us out. This time,
in the
I don't agree with the decision but
Putting that aside
body that they're concerned with what the community wanted and that I think is the way a lot
of people fell in their heart. But I think, you know, Johnny would say in that you can find
a lot of BS on the internet. You know, you can make up backs of figures. But I didn't make
that out.
I know, you know, Mark Twain said there's, there's lies, damn lies, there's statistics, so you can lie with statistics.
But, actions speak louder than words.
I don't know how long the plan pair is in the state of Utah are operating in the state of California.
But it's a pretty long time.
There are revenue streams close in the California.
I mean, in Utah, it's being shut down by the Utah legislation.
And we're at their doorstep, so to me, their motors are pretty plain.
I don't think they were really concerned about the citizens of this area.
See, I think the war can turn about protecting their revenue.
I don't know how to say about that.
Thank you.
Sheila Mercado, 1798 Gold Street.
I think we're a little confused on what the decision.
Can you please clarify what's going to happen?
Are they going to be allowed to receive the permit operator, not?
They're not okay. Thank you
They've got the nine. It's the night
Aurora Tengaros. I think you need to say that it was also vetoed
Okay, which means it is nothing
Okay, it's neither approved or denied that's it was denied a vetoed so it's back to nothing
We don't know
Go ahead
Aurora, 10 girls, 744, north-toothed school guard.
I do want to thank all of you because I do recognize
that you have all really rustled with what a hard decision this is.
So I really appreciate that you are willing to hear us
and you're willing to actually listen to us
and you're willing to belt the way of your constituents,
constituents, one way or the other.
I would just like to kind of hammer home one point.
I know we all have our stance and we all know where we are,
But I just would like to really point out that when Mayor Holmes said,
well, can you promise that you will give us what you say, you will give us?
They, they hummed in hot around that question and maintained this voice of,
oh, we need flexibility tasting change.
Well, even on that document, they don't specifically list what their cancer screenings are.
They just list cancer screenings pertaining to endless body parts.
So that gives them the flexibility that they're looking for.
And I just want to mention, another thing.
The Reno, our Montet, Mayor Montet office, is bigger than ours.
I even called them and paid up a story about
worrying that I had colon cancer.
And they said, oh, we don't do colon cancer screens.
They don't do colon cancer screens.
They don't do, you know, maybe they will do the spit testing care.
But even that, I would venture to say you could probably do tell the medicine
So I just want to point out that even the services they say, they're going to offer, they will not commit to that.
And then when Councilman Flores mentioned, well, if abortion is only 5%, can you offer us what we really need in this town?
And avoid the one controversial issue that's causing people to argue and they refuse.
They said it's part of their core procedures.
They're core services, so I just want to remind you of that, and thank you very much.
I know this is a very hard decision.
Thank you.
My name is Alex Peterson.
I live at 8.58 in the grass circle.
I've lived in this town for my age to show them probably over 40 years.
I just want to say freedom was under attack today.
Our very constitutional rights to choose what we want to do.
Our religious beliefs got in the way.
It's unfortunate.
So let me count some members.
I mean, you got to live with your decision.
If you were going to remember what you just chose today.
You know, there's other alternative everybody's saying,
we can do this.
We can do that.
Words the money.
Money talks, nonsense, walks.
That's where we're at.
I hope you consider this in all your time.
Let's all have to say.
Thank you.
in the L.C. law in Ireland, Utah. I just wanted to say, when you say no negative impact, that might be according to the codes of the city, right?
But we heard a lot of negative impact from women to have had abortions a lot.
And when it comes down to it, you guys are on the council to make the best decision for the people.
For the city, yes, but for the people.
And I just want to point out that nothing worth it is ever easy.
Children are not easy, but you love them.
I'm not a mom yet, but I have a great mom, so I just want to put that out there.
Thank you.
All right.
I think we're going to.
Next meeting, Kathy.
Kathy Durham, last one over 24, 44, and we're going to drive.
This is not about abortion for me.
This is about getting some health care.
This is about a 59-year-old woman that is so busy with school that I keep putting
off my own health care because I don't want to drive 122 miles.
I don't want to make lots and lots, I just want some health care.
I don't know a single girl that goes, Kat, I hope I have an abortion.
I can't imagine having to be faced with that choice.
I have children, I have grandchildren.
I have faith.
I have no care.
You did.
Your mind was made up before you came in, and that's fine, that's your prerogative. Maybe it's my turn. This is my time.
It just disappoints me. It disappoints me for our community.
I wish that abortion wouldn't have been an option,
but it was. We shot ourselves in the flow with this.
And again, because they came down to a religious preference.
And I don't respect that because I come from a faith-based family.
This is art for me.
I was raised as a Christian.
But I also remember when I was six years old, half the church left
because they couldn't decide whether it was predest or post-tribulation
or after-over pre-tribulation rapture.
I remember half a church left because we didn't know if we were Romans 8.
Calvinist, predestination, or if we were John 3, 16, Arminian, free will,
because the church can't get its ideas together about what God's word says, and that's confusing.
And until God comes back and straightens this whole mess out, we're just not going to know what the truth is.
And that is why we have the separation of church and state.
Because when you allow a religious theology to guide your law,
You are no longer a republic, you are at theocracy, and I don't want to have to cover up my head and only let you see my eyes because that's what some religious theology does.
I'm worried about the path as country is going because I feel like my Christian faith is being used to promote an agenda that is far this thing from the Christ that I belong to believe in.
But then again, we all know how the story ends.
That is, if we can agree on that too.
So I just want to part with some peaceful words.
I was raised in a very religious family.
So I have some very deep convictions about what I believe.
I tell you that, for me, finding my faith
has been a lifelong journey, though I have never doubt
that the existence of God.
I have wrestled over and over again about what is true about God.
And thankfully because of the peace I feel in my heart that I know God gave me, I believe
I have found the answer to that question.
I love my Christian brothers and sisters,
but we, like many others before us, who share
our faith, disagree over theology.
I don't believe that arguing over abortion is the word that God has called us to do.
Our work is to be one of love and not judgment.
Our faith calls for a personal relationship between ourselves and our maker.
I need not worry, not about the choices my neighbor makes.
I need to focus on fixing myself.
Our command was to spread the gospel, not bring about his kingdom.
And I don't think God needs me to fight his battles.
He just wants me to share his love.
Cathy, can you wrap it up?
Thank you.
All right.
Next, we can be in adjournment.
Do I get a motion for adjournment?
Motion by Councilor Paul.
And a second by Councilor Pietro, all in favour?
All right.
Any opposed?
Is that motion passes?
Good night.
