One of the seats. Under one of the seat.
[2:26]
>> Oh, under the seats.
[2:29]
>> Our potential new campus
[2:31]
>> pending.
[2:32]
>> Oh, yeah.
[2:33]
>> Pending.
[2:33]
>> Perfect. Well, I don't know if we'll
[2:35]
give you many answers today, but we're
[2:38]
glad to have you.
[2:38]
>> I'm here. answers if needed. And what is
[2:40]
your name?
[2:41]
>> Megan. Megan.
[2:43]
>> Perfect. Well, we'll be glad to have
[2:45]
you. Okay. Well, we would love to uh
[2:48]
start this meeting. We're going to start
[2:49]
the work session today. Um and we are
[2:52]
going to start with the discussion of
[2:54]
proposed repairs to the exterior of the
[2:57]
city center. Um, just kind of recap. Uh,
[3:01]
last council meeting we you I was
[3:03]
authorized to spend what was in the
[3:05]
budget for this particular project, but
[3:08]
we did want to grab a few others uh bids
[3:12]
on that. So, I appreciate um John your
[3:16]
help with that. Um, and so I kind of
[3:20]
want to go over those for your guys'
[3:22]
information. Did I say it's it's Steve
[3:25]
John's. He has two first names. It's his
[3:28]
fault.
[3:28]
>> You can call me whatever you want.
[3:32]
>> Steve.
[3:33]
Okay.
[3:36]
>> Every time that happens, Steve and I
[3:37]
look at each other like, "Uh-huh."
[3:40]
>> I appreciate just patience is helpful.
[3:43]
>> Everybody involved.
[3:44]
>> Oh, I was thinking John. Huh.
[3:45]
>> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, the original bid
[3:48]
that that we received um was from an
[3:51]
organization called Home Innovations. Um
[3:55]
and that bid comes to a total of
[3:57]
$32,47.38.
[4:02]
Um the scope of this work um basically
[4:05]
is the side of the building completely
[4:08]
behind me uh completely ripping it off
[4:10]
because we have leaking windows. Um and
[4:13]
this is the primary issue that
[4:15]
propagated the the need for this type of
[4:17]
work. As we went around the building,
[4:20]
there's a few other broken panels.
[4:22]
There's trim pieces that are falling
[4:24]
off.
[4:25]
Um, now as I have gone through because
[4:28]
I've walked the property with all three
[4:31]
of these companies now and all three of
[4:34]
them have one thing in common and that
[4:37]
is they all say that how the sighting
[4:40]
was put on this building.
[4:44]
incorrect is the wrong word because it's
[4:48]
not necessarily incorrect, but it was
[4:51]
kind of a budget option that we're now
[4:54]
suffering from. So, for instance,
[4:55]
typically when
[4:57]
>> volunteers,
[4:59]
>> the sighting was not actually
[5:00]
>> really
[5:01]
>> correct. We had already farmed it out to
[5:03]
a general at that point
[5:05]
>> to finish it out. Um, and so typically
[5:08]
when you do a hardy sighting, um, you
[5:12]
trim out all the windows first,
[5:14]
>> right?
[5:15]
>> This actually did all of the siding, so
[5:19]
the the Hardy slat first and then they
[5:22]
took like
[5:24]
38 inch trim and kind of tried to shoot
[5:28]
it on around and through the siding.
[5:32]
The problem is that creates gaps and
[5:34]
they didn't caulk in those gaps and so
[5:36]
they're full of hornets and water and
[5:38]
that's one of the reasons we're having
[5:40]
such issues. Um
[5:43]
so you'll see that the reason I give you
[5:46]
that context is you're going to see that
[5:48]
in the differences of these bids. I
[5:51]
tried to get as close to apples to
[5:52]
apples but that was impossible. Um, so
[5:57]
the home innovations bid is for this
[6:00]
side being completely ripped off, thrown
[6:02]
away, completely repaired, covered in
[6:05]
OSB because the foundation wall, if you
[6:08]
can see right behind me,
[6:11]
this is concrete all the way to the
[6:14]
ceiling. So, it's designed for the
[6:17]
highest R value you can get. It's
[6:20]
actually the same way Steve's house was
[6:21]
built, I believe. Right, Steve? Um,
[6:24]
however, that means the other side of
[6:27]
this wall is also concrete. So, they've
[6:29]
nailed on
[6:31]
these small slats to then be able to
[6:34]
nail the siding on too. So this bid
[6:37]
includes actually putting 7/16 OSB and
[6:41]
sheeting the whole thing. Furring out
[6:44]
the indent because this actual the gable
[6:48]
on this indents in so it creates a ledge
[6:52]
which is storing water creating helping
[6:54]
facilitate the leak. So that's
[6:57]
completely shearing this straight up. No
[7:00]
more ledge. All of that will be then
[7:02]
fixed. Uh, this also rips the dormers
[7:06]
off and repairs the dormers because they
[7:08]
also have a lot of water damage getting
[7:10]
new flashing underneath those. Um,
[7:13]
because the code actually helps require
[7:16]
that you have a 3 in gap above the roof
[7:20]
line of flashing and then it jumps
[7:24]
underneath the the the siding to help
[7:28]
with the waterproofing. And this does
[7:29]
not have that gap. Well, they change
[7:31]
they changed the code
[7:33]
>> pro
[7:33]
>> probably.
[7:34]
>> I know they did because I got the
[7:36]
insurance to deny a roof repair because
[7:39]
of it.
[7:39]
>> Oh joy. Sorry about that. Um and so
[7:44]
that's kind of what this is. This also
[7:45]
then fixes
[7:48]
a kind of more bandage on top of the
[7:50]
bandage of the broken pieces of trim
[7:53]
through windows and things like that.
[7:55]
Okay. So that's the home innovations
[7:56]
bit. I have a question on all before we
[7:59]
get to all of them then. Um they have
[8:01]
similar time frame on completion.
[8:05]
>> Uh that I actually don't know. I have
[8:08]
not spoken to them because that's of
[8:10]
less importance to me than than your
[8:12]
guys's decision for cost. They all can
[8:15]
get it done this before the snowflies.
[8:18]
>> Oh, this this is
[8:19]
>> which is
[8:21]
what I was wondering.
[8:22]
>> Yep.
[8:23]
Um, so Cascade, I was extremely
[8:26]
impressed with Cascade. It helps that
[8:28]
the owner's name is Ben, but very kind.
[8:31]
Um, this was a very thorough and as he
[8:35]
went around the building, and you'll see
[8:37]
because Cascad's bid is for 76,000. So,
[8:41]
they're down their half payment is
[8:44]
>> our budget
[8:45]
>> more than than Home Innovation's full
[8:47]
bid. They're saying you really just need
[8:51]
to do this project right. And this is
[8:55]
all exterior ripped off the building.
[8:59]
All both ends of the building having the
[9:02]
same fix because that dormer also sucks
[9:05]
in just like this one does. Um, and
[9:08]
they're going to put in on the very
[9:10]
bottom uh that rigid foam in between
[9:14]
each of those slats. Now, they're not
[9:15]
going to sheet it with OSB, but they're
[9:17]
going to put rigid foam behind those
[9:19]
slats so that it uh has more imp
[9:24]
protection because that's one of the
[9:25]
problems. If you've gone down this side
[9:27]
of this bay, a lot of those uh tiles
[9:30]
have been just broken out, the Hardy
[9:32]
board. Uh it's because there's no
[9:34]
backing on it. And so, it doesn't take
[9:36]
any impact at all. It just shatters. So,
[9:40]
that's what this one does. Hence, it is
[9:43]
quite a bit more. As you probably looked
[9:45]
through the bids,
[9:47]
this was a pretty bid package. They took
[9:50]
extensive pictures uh understanding,
[9:54]
articulating every single side of the
[9:56]
wall, labeling them. Very impressed.
[9:59]
Just also impressive price tag.
[10:02]
And the last bid um comes from a company
[10:06]
called uh Latmer Plastering LLC.
[10:10]
um also really enjoyed these guys. Uh
[10:14]
their bid actually is far more
[10:17]
comparable to uh the Home Innovations
[10:20]
bid than it is to Cascade. Um and this
[10:24]
one is for $55,000.
[10:27]
Uh this is repainting though also the
[10:29]
whole front of the building.
[10:31]
>> Painting
[10:33]
>> because we do have that we had an old
[10:35]
sign that used to be on the front. So,
[10:36]
we now have that big huge mark on the
[10:38]
front. And because there's a number of
[10:41]
panels they want to replace around those
[10:44]
front windows, they said there's no way
[10:47]
we can match this paint. We'll just need
[10:49]
to repaint that whole facade.
[10:51]
>> So, all three of them have kind of a
[10:53]
different um scope then.
[10:55]
>> Correct.
[10:55]
>> They've added in some things that maybe
[10:57]
we didn't see.
[10:58]
>> 100%. Right. and and basically I told
[11:01]
them when they were here I told them
[11:03]
what this bid was the scope of it and
[11:07]
they said we'll we'll give you what we
[11:09]
feel is actually makes sense to do and
[11:12]
so you have Cascade saying you need to
[11:15]
do the whole building which I don't
[11:17]
disagree with
[11:19]
you have Latmer kind of in the middle
[11:22]
but they're but the amount of work we're
[11:24]
going to get is actually going to be
[11:26]
much closer to the home innovations bit
[11:28]
so
[11:29]
>> they just added on the front.
[11:30]
>> Uh they added on the front. Um
[11:34]
>> I mean I read through them all.
[11:35]
>> That's pretty much it. So and then
[11:37]
everything else that we talked about
[11:38]
replacing the dormers and replacing this
[11:40]
wall.
[11:40]
>> Okay. So the reason I kind of pushed for
[11:43]
this is because a lot of these
[11:46]
contractors, sorry Steve, it's already
[11:48]
been a lot of contractors and you guys
[11:51]
are building mostly right now. You guys
[11:53]
aren't like this. um
[11:57]
have a tendency to make their money on
[12:00]
change orders.
[12:02]
>> So, they come in low on the bid, they
[12:03]
get the job, and then, oh, we need to we
[12:07]
need to paint the whole building because
[12:08]
of this, and all of a sudden, your your paint price has tripled um from
[12:14]
what you would have gotten from a bid.
[12:16]
So, I wanted to see what other people
[12:19]
were saying needed to be done so that we
[12:21]
could actually come back and if
[12:24]
necessary, which I was afraid it was
[12:26]
going to be, um, say, okay,
[12:30]
if if we think the we need to do the
[12:32]
whole if we need to do both ends and
[12:34]
then paint everything and whatever we've
[12:36]
got to do, right? Um,
[12:39]
and I don't disagree, the whole thing
[12:41]
needs to be done, but I don't know that
[12:42]
we can afford to do it right now.
[12:43]
>> That's my feeling.
[12:45]
Um, we say, "Okay, all we're going to do
[12:49]
is this end, say Cascade, what are you
[12:51]
going to do for us?" You know, um, and
[12:54]
if we pick a Sherwin Williams paint or
[12:58]
a, you know, I don't know what they
[12:59]
painted this with, but if we if we make
[13:01]
note of that, we can match that paint in
[13:04]
the future. Um, so we could do and and
[13:07]
it's not bad when you do a full side
[13:10]
because as you come to a corner whether
[13:12]
there's trim or not, you can't tell that
[13:15]
there's a slight difference in those um
[13:18]
>> if it fades from the sun.
[13:19]
>> Yeah. Just it's just
[13:21]
>> it's not a totally different color.
[13:22]
>> Well, and even that you could actually
[13:24]
do a whole different color and and it
[13:27]
it's kind of looking when you do that.
[13:30]
But this was my fear that people were
[13:32]
going to come in and see different well
[13:34]
not my fear my my expect
[13:38]
my expectation was that other people
[13:40]
were going to see different things and between a few bids we're going to
[13:43]
say okay now we need to do what this guy
[13:46]
said here and what this guy said here everybody
[13:49]
redo your bids to this scope of work now
[13:52]
we've got a detailed scope of work we
[13:54]
can say I want to see your bid for this
[13:56]
particular scope of work this is what we
[13:57]
think we can afford this
[14:00]
and have them redo the bids. And I hate
[14:02]
saying that, but redo the bids. They
[14:05]
come together. You don't need to talk to
[14:06]
us after that unless it's over what
[14:08]
we've what we've budgeted for. Um, and
[14:12]
then you can make you and Ted and Jody
[14:14]
and Wayne can make the decision. Okay,
[14:16]
this is the one we're going to go for.
[14:18]
We feel best about this. Might not be
[14:19]
the cheapest one,
[14:22]
but it's the one we feel the most
[14:23]
comfortable with. But now you've got a
[14:25]
detailed scope of work with the three
[14:27]
different bids to pull from to say here
[14:30]
is now our our called a and I call it a
[14:33]
s scope of work. Um rebid you know re
[14:37]
readjust your bid for these particular
[14:39]
things. I like the fact of of backing
[14:41]
the the Hardy one way or the other,
[14:43]
whether it's OSB or whether it's hard um
[14:47]
foam, high density foam. Um because
[14:50]
that's what I mean, I'm looking at the
[14:51]
pictures and you can see the busted in
[14:53]
Hardy board, right? Um so,
[14:57]
you know, once once we you can do this,
[15:00]
I don't know that you need to come back
[15:01]
to us if it's within budget.
[15:04]
My my thoughts on it.
[15:06]
>> Is there a possibility? Because I mean
[15:08]
cost Obviously the concern of a phase
[15:11]
one phase two on two different budget
[15:13]
years.
[15:14]
>> I think that would be the right choice.
[15:16]
>> Yeah.
[15:17]
>> We we will need to get this building so
[15:20]
it can sustain.
[15:22]
>> I would like to see the door downstairs
[15:23]
if it hasn't been repaired to be
[15:25]
repaired into the office.
[15:30]
>> I like it broken fused shut.
[15:33]
>> Okay.
[15:34]
>> I don't have an egress standpoint.
[15:38]
It's a danger. So, just from an OSHA
[15:42]
thing, I'd like to see that fixed.
[15:44]
>> I can give you that. We've got actually
[15:47]
two doors down there that need to be
[15:49]
fixed.
[15:50]
>> Yeah.
[15:50]
>> I think it would be helpful if we did
[15:52]
have the same scope of work for all
[15:54]
three because you can say, "Oh, yeah,
[15:56]
that makes sense that we do this or it
[15:59]
makes sense that we do both sides or or
[16:01]
whatever." But it being fair to all
[16:03]
three of them then because the scope of
[16:06]
work that was told to the first is not
[16:07]
what comes out at the others. So maybe
[16:11]
um clarifying that a little bit.
[16:13]
>> Yeah.
[16:14]
>> Well, and Steve, I assume you've done
[16:16]
work with Cascade and you've done work
[16:18]
with uh
[16:21]
with Yeah. And do they do change orders
[16:23]
on you?
[16:24]
>> Um no,
[16:25]
>> unless you
[16:26]
>> unless it's I'm changing the scope
[16:28]
considerably.
[16:29]
>> And so I've done a lot with innovations.
[16:32]
Hence, I reached out to them first and
[16:34]
I've never gotten a change order from
[16:36]
them.
[16:36]
>> They never recommend more than what they
[16:40]
>> because they'll do the scope of work on
[16:42]
their page.
[16:43]
>> Well, yeah.
[16:44]
>> And they don't come back and try and
[16:46]
upcharge.
[16:47]
>> So, I have a question. If if you're
[16:49]
going to try and do the whole building
[16:51]
eventually, then you wouldn't want to
[16:53]
spend the money to paint the one side.
[16:57]
>> So, correct. So, I think that has to be
[16:59]
part of the decision, too, because if
[17:00]
you're going to take the bid where they
[17:02]
want to paint, that would just be a
[17:04]
waste of money. So, I think we should
[17:05]
save the money and not do that if we're
[17:07]
going to do the whole building
[17:08]
eventually,
[17:09]
>> at least for sure, the two ends, right?
[17:12]
And and then paint maybe the front just
[17:13]
piece.
[17:14]
>> Right now, I would say our highest
[17:16]
priority is this wall and the dormers
[17:22]
because they are
[17:25]
extremely compromised. So, I don't know
[17:27]
if you've ever gone and looked at them.
[17:29]
The paint's all coming off and they're
[17:30]
you can kind of go up there and hit them
[17:32]
and they start falling apart.
[17:34]
>> So, they're completely blown out. So,
[17:37]
okay, that is helpful guidance. Um,
[17:41]
Ted, have you looked through these? Are
[17:42]
you of the same opinion at all? Have you
[17:44]
thought about this this repair?
[17:49]
>> Okay. Um, does what does everybody else
[17:52]
think if we go back and have him scope
[17:54]
if they if they put a scope together? Do
[17:56]
they need to does he need to come back
[17:57]
with us? We've already given him the
[17:59]
authorization. I think he's we let him
[18:01]
go forward. I don't want to waste time
[18:03]
>> because we're wasting time going back
[18:05]
and get another bit. That's my opinion,
[18:06]
but if you guys want to pull the reins,
[18:08]
you can. This is my fault. I think we we
[18:11]
give we give the the reigns to the
[18:14]
>> to the city staff and and you guys go
[18:17]
with it. Yeah,
[18:18]
>> I've got now their contact information
[18:20]
as well. So, I'll shoot them these other
[18:22]
two bids, a scope of work because I feel
[18:25]
this other one's dialed in nicely.
[18:28]
>> Innovations one is dialed in.
[18:30]
>> He's got the dormers on it and he's OSB,
[18:33]
>> correct? Yep.
[18:34]
>> Okay. Um I think either way works. Um
[18:37]
OSB's what? What?
[18:40]
>> 58 OSB
[18:42]
>> 716.
[18:43]
>> Well, I also think
[18:44]
>> that still should be good enough. Yeah,
[18:47]
it still should be good enough.
[18:48]
>> Then if we're going to do it in two
[18:49]
years, our scope of work should be the
[18:51]
whole project and then divide it in so
[18:53]
that we have a budget for the first, the
[18:55]
budget for the second.
[18:56]
>> Do that because all the prices change.
[18:58]
>> Oh yeah, that's true. That's true. But
[19:00]
at least to let them to see if they
[19:02]
would consider because it would be
[19:04]
really I think hard if we had one person
[19:07]
start it and then they don't want to do
[19:08]
the second half next year.
[19:11]
>> We've got a spec. The nice thing is is
[19:13]
all three of these companies have been
[19:16]
around a long time.
[19:17]
>> Okay.
[19:17]
>> So, they're not Joe and his his paint
[19:21]
bucket on the side of the street that we
[19:23]
picked up at Home Depot or something.
[19:24]
So,
[19:25]
>> yeah, I think the exercise was was more
[19:28]
than anything to make sure that we were
[19:30]
getting a couple different bids even
[19:31]
though it's not a formal bid thing. We
[19:33]
need to do the work, but making sure
[19:35]
that scopes were consistent.
[19:38]
>> Yeah, that's that's what I'm thinking.
[19:40]
Yeah, I think
[19:40]
>> consistent scope.
[19:41]
>> I like your approach to it. So,
[19:44]
>> I just want to offer one, you know,
[19:45]
apology. One of the contractors was
[19:47]
coming out and looking and they tapped
[19:50]
on one of our corners that was pulling
[19:52]
apart and Wasp came out and stung him in
[19:55]
the head.
[19:56]
>> I feel a little bad about that. So,
[19:59]
>> I just I I there are things that could
[20:01]
very well be when they start tearing
[20:03]
when they start doing demo um that that
[20:07]
they're going to find um and Especially
[20:10]
on the dormers that's and that's where
[20:11]
our change orders that's that's when you
[20:13]
get the change orders when they find
[20:14]
something that they didn't see on the
[20:16]
original scope. That's why I like lots
[20:17]
of eyes.
[20:19]
>> Perfect. Okay. Any other questions
[20:21]
there? Wonderful. Okay. Let's move to
[20:24]
number two. Discussion regarding the
[20:25]
sale of approximately 0.25 acres of
[20:28]
city-owned real property uh located near
[20:31]
Bear Hollow between the Utah County
[20:33]
parcel. Uh and then there's two big long
[20:36]
numbers. If you're interested, you can
[20:38]
read them. Including declaring the
[20:40]
property surplus and authorizing the
[20:42]
sale process. Uh Ted, do you want to
[20:45]
tackle this?
[20:47]
>> Yeah, I do.
[20:48]
>> Okay.
[21:01]
I'll get some assistance from
[21:04]
every all three of you have been
[21:05]
involved in this. So
[21:07]
>> So where this started out Peter quick
[21:10]
recap where this started out is we had a
[21:14]
uh well so this was originally part of a
[21:17]
plat where South Loafer came through the
[21:22]
development and then continued and
[21:23]
connected to Bear Hall. Okay.
[21:25]
>> The developer revised and and that was
[21:28]
recorded plaque. So that was a road ride
[21:29]
rightway. The developer re revised the
[21:32]
plat so that it souther now is a
[21:34]
culde-sac. So this left the remaining
[21:37]
road piece between the end of the
[21:38]
culde-sac and bear hollow. This platted
[21:41]
as city rightway. So it becomes our
[21:43]
property is our property. It's part of
[21:45]
the plat. It's property that uh does not
[21:48]
meet any requirements to be a lot. It's
[21:51]
basically a road right away.
[21:52]
>> Yeah. Too small. It's too small for a
[21:54]
lot. It has no improvements or anything
[21:55]
like that. So, we've just had this
[21:57]
parcel for quite a while uh in hopes
[22:00]
that I could turn it into a trailer
[22:01]
parking area, but apparently that's that
[22:04]
didn't come
[22:05]
>> too small for a helicopter.
[22:06]
>> Helicopter pad still a helicopter pad,
[22:09]
but ideas. So, we we had a developer
[22:13]
reach out to us that knew about this uh
[22:16]
and was interested in purchasing this
[22:17]
little parcel because he could use it as
[22:19]
access to some lots.
[22:22]
Um, it would access actually he's doing
[22:24]
it on behalf of a lot owner that
[22:29]
it's a lot. It's it's it's a family
[22:30]
that's buying two lots, parents and kids
[22:34]
on South Loer. And this and and the lot
[22:36]
sit in a spot that make uh access
[22:39]
through a driveway really steep. So
[22:41]
having an access through Bear Hollow
[22:44]
makes it uh a fairly flat access makes
[22:46]
it much better to access their lots.
[22:48]
>> How how how long is it? Would it make it
[22:50]
a flag lot then if that was the access?
[22:53]
>> Well, would it just be add? Is it one of
[22:55]
the adjoining lots?
[22:57]
>> What's that?
[22:57]
>> Is it one of the adjoining lots?
[23:00]
>> So, it is its own right.
[23:02]
>> No, I mean that
[23:03]
>> Yeah.
[23:04]
>> people that want to buy it.
[23:05]
>> No. No, it's not. It's two lots that sit
[23:08]
on the back side of South.
[23:10]
>> So, this would help them access instead
[23:12]
of accessing the driveway up South
[23:14]
Loafer because it's really steep. Oh,
[23:16]
>> they would come up bear hall to access
[23:18]
their lots on south over. Um, so, uh,
[23:22]
this developer called us on behalf of
[23:23]
the property ownersh to see if we were
[23:25]
interested in selling it. Uh, obviously
[23:28]
we don't have a need for the property.
[23:29]
There's not anything we could ever argue
[23:30]
with. It's too small really for us to do
[23:32]
anything with. So, we certainly were
[23:34]
interested in surplusing it. Um, to do
[23:37]
that, we have to go through the surplus
[23:39]
process, which includes city council.
[23:41]
So, we have to advertise it for 45 days.
[23:45]
>> Y
[23:46]
>> 45 days for sale, which is now got a for
[23:48]
sale sign and being advertised for sale.
[23:50]
Um, we have to get it recorded with the
[23:53]
county, so it has a serial number, which
[23:55]
we're working on. Uh, we have had it
[23:57]
surveyed. We have a legal description
[23:59]
for it. And we've had an appraised
[24:01]
property. So, uh,
[24:06]
we have we have put it up for sale.
[24:08]
there's still interest from this
[24:09]
developer on behalf of these two
[24:11]
property owners. Um really probably the
[24:13]
only other ones that would have any
[24:15]
anything to gain by purchasing this
[24:17]
would be the two adjoining ones on
[24:19]
either side. So we are going to
[24:21]
advertise it for 45 days. Um and then we
[24:24]
can receive
[24:26]
I don't know we call them bids but
[24:30]
>> offers for this property. Uh obviously
[24:34]
uh we did have it appraised. I thought
[24:35]
the appraisal was
[24:37]
pretty.
[24:38]
>> I saw that.
[24:39]
too.
[24:41]
>> I was like,
[24:43]
>> I mean, without being an improved lot to
[24:46]
sell it for that, I think that's about
[24:47]
what I paid for my lot. Of course, we
[24:49]
bought
[24:50]
>> That was a long time ago.
[24:51]
>> Yeah, a long time ago. But I I don't
[24:53]
think we'd ever get that. I don't think
[24:54]
we'll get any offers for that much on
[24:56]
it. You never know.
[24:56]
>> Well, because you can't build up.
[24:58]
>> Yeah, you can't build on it. It's only
[25:00]
good to become part of another lot or an
[25:02]
access. So, um, so right now it is up
[25:06]
for sale and we'll keep it up for sale
[25:08]
for 45 days. Uh, we'll receive offers on
[25:10]
it and then once we get the offers, we
[25:11]
can come back to council.
[25:12]
>> So, what would be the process then since
[25:14]
it's not available lot and it would be
[25:16]
if it was if it was purchased by the
[25:18]
developer to use as an access because
[25:21]
it's not currently zoned as an access.
[25:24]
Um, we would have to approve that.
[25:26]
Correct. To have an additional access to
[25:29]
those properties through there. No, I
[25:31]
don't think it' have to be zoned as an
[25:32]
access because it meets the current
[25:34]
zoning requirements. It'd be a driveway
[25:35]
basically. It' be like a driveway to
[25:37]
>> a long driveway.
[25:38]
That's why I'm
[25:39]
wondering if
[25:40]
>> probably shorter than some of the ones
[25:41]
we currently have.
[25:42]
>> Okay. So, it wouldn't be That's why I
[25:44]
was asking if it would be considered a
[25:45]
plaque lot if it's long enough that we'd
[25:47]
have to put
[25:48]
>> It would actually not be owned by I
[25:51]
believe and you could be owned by the
[25:52]
HOA.
[25:53]
>> It's going to be owned by Summit Creek.
[25:55]
So, how does that work with their
[25:57]
>> service their private roads? Because
[26:00]
that's one of the reasons we have this.
[26:02]
>> It would be an easement for the lots,
[26:03]
>> okay,
[26:04]
>> through the HOA.
[26:05]
>> It just it helps with, you know, if one
[26:08]
of those land owners shifts and changes
[26:10]
or it just it eliminates the contention
[26:13]
around who's in charge of maintaining
[26:15]
it, who's in charge of plowing it. It
[26:17]
eliminates all of that, which creates an
[26:19]
appetite.
[26:20]
>> A fire hydrant halfway through and all
[26:22]
of that. because these homes addresses
[26:24]
would probably still be west or south
[26:27]
loafer
[26:29]
>> petitioning to change to their hollow
[26:32]
because the access to be coming from
[26:34]
their
[26:35]
>> just that might be and I would agree
[26:38]
with probably looking at that because
[26:40]
emergency access
[26:42]
>> we want to make sure we're going to the
[26:43]
right address to get to get access to
[26:45]
these homes in a response.
[26:48]
So
[26:52]
it would be similar. So we did this with
[26:53]
Sunny Ridge. If you recall, Sunny Ridge
[26:56]
down on Summit Creek
[26:57]
>> is a it's essentially a private drive,
[26:59]
but it's a drive for five homes because
[27:01]
we didn't want their driveways coming
[27:03]
off of Summit Creek Drive. All five
[27:05]
driveways right there in a row on that
[27:06]
busy road. So they built a private drive
[27:09]
behind the homes. So there's five homes
[27:10]
that access that private drive.
[27:12]
>> It's not a city right away. It's not a
[27:14]
city road. It's it's a private drive.
[27:15]
This would be similar
[27:16]
>> similar to that. Okay. That puts it in
[27:18]
context.
[27:18]
>> Yeah.
[27:21]
>> So, what what's the what's the value of
[27:24]
that piece of property to the city right
[27:26]
now? I mean, obviously,
[27:28]
it can't be zoned for another building,
[27:31]
but what about park? Is there any
[27:33]
interest in anything like that? And I'm
[27:34]
just throwing it out there in terms of
[27:36]
>> a pocket park.
[27:36]
>> I mean, that's something to talk about.
[27:38]
It's a fifth of an acre
[27:39]
>> uh total. It's 50 feet wide. 50 56 feet
[27:43]
wide because it's a wide ride. So, it's
[27:45]
the width of a roadway. Yeah.
[27:47]
>> Um, so I don't know. I mean, by the time
[27:48]
you got access into there, you wouldn't
[27:50]
have a lot of room to do much. Um, I
[27:52]
don't think you'd have room to put even
[27:54]
probably a
[27:55]
>> maybe a playground. Uh,
[27:58]
>> swimming pool
[27:59]
>> maybe. Yeah.
[28:00]
>> A lot of court.
[28:01]
>> Yeah. Single lane swimming pool. It's
[28:04]
just
[28:07]
>> I'm still open to a helicopter path, but
[28:10]
>> I mean, it's not even wide enough for a
[28:12]
helicopter.
[28:12]
>> Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
[28:14]
land helicopters on two-lane roads all
[28:16]
the way.
[28:16]
>> So, so what was the intended purpose?
[28:18]
Why was it plotted like this in the
[28:19]
first place?
[28:19]
>> Because originally that road was going
[28:21]
to go all the way up to
[28:23]
>> then when they wanted it private then it
[28:25]
was
[28:26]
>> so it changed the configuration taxed
[28:28]
because it's been considered bigger
[28:30]
>> so was supposed to come down here.
[28:34]
>> So pretty.
[28:36]
Now,
[28:38]
this isn't going to
[28:43]
So, right, I don't know which lots it's
[28:46]
actually.
[28:47]
>> So, right behind it.
[28:48]
>> So, the one it goes straight into
[28:50]
>> straight in and there's two lots right
[28:52]
here.
[28:52]
>> One on either side. Yeah.
[28:53]
>> Okay. That makes it that to me that
[28:55]
makes a little bit of a difference. Um,
[28:58]
and what I was concerned one of the
[29:01]
thoughts I had was is it going to, you
[29:03]
know, is is some going to try to split
[29:06]
more that was that because I didn't know
[29:08]
who it was coming through. They're going
[29:09]
to try to get more lots out of it
[29:10]
because it Yeah, they can meet the R119
[29:13]
with you know
[29:14]
>> Yeah. The actual the actual uh this
[29:18]
actual little parcel is in an R1 to PUB.
[29:21]
>> Yeah.
[29:22]
>> Now, South Loafer is R19.
[29:25]
>> Yeah.
[29:25]
>> But it said it would be an access that
[29:28]
would be owned by the HOA, but you
[29:31]
couldn't make a lot out of it.
[29:33]
>> And we
[29:36]
I I saw that, but I just wanted to make
[29:38]
sure that they weren't going to, you
[29:39]
know, try to
[29:40]
>> tiny house could fit on there.
[29:42]
>> Um,
[29:42]
>> hey, if you guys want to zone it for
[29:44]
that, sure.
[29:45]
>> Square footage.
[29:46]
>> We don't require a culdeac on an access
[29:49]
like that, Wayne.
[29:52]
>> No,
[29:53]
>> a turnaround for fire because it's short
[29:56]
enough, right?
[29:58]
>> Is that the case? That's what I'm kind
[30:00]
of curious about.
[30:00]
>> That's kind of what I was thinking. if
[30:02]
it was
[30:02]
>> if that was going to eat up anything
[30:04]
with with a turnaround because we do
[30:06]
have
[30:07]
>> requirements if it's so long we have to
[30:09]
have
[30:10]
>> it's essentially a private access. We do
[30:15]
if a home gets over 150 ft away then we
[30:20]
do require their driveway to be figured
[30:22]
to become a hammerhead.
[30:24]
>> Yes. And
[30:25]
>> I'm
[30:26]
>> so until we know what the owners are
[30:28]
doing or building we really
[30:31]
I guess I don't know the answer, but if the homes are 150 ft away from Bear
[30:36]
Hollow, then they're the way they access
[30:39]
their driveways would have to be built
[30:41]
to be a hammerhead.
[30:42]
>> Um, my my driveway was grandfathered
[30:45]
before that came in. So, I'm actually
[30:48]
longer than what it's supposed to be and
[30:50]
not having a a big enough spot. Mine's
[30:52]
just slightly small. And we've done this
[30:55]
like uh down in Summit Creek at the
[30:57]
Degraph Beach, their driveway that gets
[30:58]
to their lot is is way over 150 ft, but
[31:01]
they configured their driveway to be a
[31:04]
hammerhead.
[31:04]
>> So, we've got a turn. That's that's kind
[31:07]
of what I was curious about, but those are the two things I was kind of
[31:10]
curious about, but I I wasn't sure
[31:13]
the context of this until you were able
[31:16]
to explain it. What I had it all up on
[31:18]
my computer when the page came in. I was
[31:20]
actually putting that in the pits
[31:22]
together today.
[31:23]
That's why I question if it was
[31:26]
>> if it was a flat lot because road
[31:28]
because of the length if it needed the
[31:30]
hammerhead and if it needed the the fire
[31:32]
hydrant but if it's just a pass through
[31:34]
and you're saying that it's probably
[31:36]
most likely going to be close enough but
[31:38]
if it's not then the owners would it be
[31:42]
then the owner who purchases this or the
[31:44]
HOA that would put in the hammerhead? It
[31:47]
would be part of the house construction.
[31:49]
Until they build the houses, we won't
[31:50]
until we get house plans and that'll be
[31:52]
part of the
[31:52]
>> but they will basically their driveways
[31:55]
would have to be big enough for us to to
[31:57]
have that turn around.
[31:59]
>> Um and and I've read through that
[32:01]
extensively because my house doesn't
[32:02]
meet that.
[32:04]
>> Well, we do require that any homes that
[32:06]
go over 150 ft off the road require them
[32:08]
to configure their driveways so that we
[32:10]
can turn an apparatus around.
[32:12]
>> Yep.
[32:16]
fire truck.
[32:17]
>> Yeah.
[32:18]
>> Situation.
[32:18]
>> Um, and this is going to be private, so
[32:21]
we're not going to have to to plow it.
[32:23]
So, it end up being a drive and that
[32:25]
would need to be very clear on
[32:28]
>> on this.
[32:29]
>> It' be a private private access. So, we
[32:32]
would have
[32:32]
>> Yeah, that that would be very difficult
[32:34]
for our
[32:34]
>> It's like we don't plow neo. We don't
[32:37]
plow Sunny Ridge. We don't plow
[32:40]
that one.
[32:41]
>> They do their little Bobcat down there.
[32:46]
bottom
[32:47]
>> blazer.
[32:49]
>> And the scope of our conversation right
[32:51]
now is actually just
[32:53]
>> Yeah.
[32:53]
>> Do we sell it or not?
[32:54]
>> Yeah.
[32:56]
>> If we do, I think that though we should
[32:59]
disclose that it may need a hammerhead.
[33:01]
>> I think we do need to disclose that.
[33:04]
>> That would all be
[33:06]
until we get the house.
[33:06]
>> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. may need
[33:08]
just so it's upfront that that is our
[33:10]
ordinance depending on where your home
[33:12]
is.
[33:15]
It could affect the way they um plat
[33:17]
their house on you know configure their
[33:19]
house.
[33:20]
>> Is that John
[33:22]
>> who just dragged me?
[33:27]
» Any other questions on this?
[33:31]
» We heard that you wanted to buy some
[33:32]
property.
[33:33]
>> No. Yeah. I already thought it was
[33:35]
already a done deal, but apparently not.
[33:38]
>> Okay.
[33:39]
>> I guess my only thing Megan apparently
[33:42]
has an interest in this. Is that
[33:43]
something that we can speak to? What's the interest that just helps you
[33:48]
get to your property?
[33:50]
>> Yeah, I think looking at the property
[33:52]
from below
[33:54]
for sale and I think it was hard to
[33:56]
visualize how to put a house on the
[33:58]
property from down below at Wilford. Um,
[34:00]
and then the developer proposed this
[34:02]
possibility and that changed everything
[34:04]
for us. So it would be me and my husband
[34:07]
and I and my parents by the law and um
[34:11]
and the access point from above just
[34:13]
makes a lot more sense. So that was our
[34:15]
focus then because access we had gone
[34:18]
through discussions with the developer
[34:20]
um creating the roundabout and maybe not
[34:23]
necessarily a roundabout but a circle
[34:25]
shape for services. Um, good to know
[34:29]
about the distances and everything, but
[34:30]
that's kind of where we're at with the
[34:32]
offer is in. We're kind of contingent.
[34:37]
>> Okay. I I see all I I don't see any
[34:41]
negatives to this to be honest with you.
[34:43]
The only other option would be to us put
[34:45]
in a road um or run into and and and
[34:51]
have have
[34:52]
>> be really stupid.
[34:53]
>> Yeah. It just doesn't doesn't make
[34:54]
sense. He put a dead head road that
[34:56]
would deadhead of two lots 100 foot road
[34:58]
that would dead.
[34:59]
>> Well, we would have to put a culde-sac.
[35:03]
» It doesn't make sense. So, this makes
[35:06]
more sense to me than
[35:08]
there's not really
[35:09]
>> if it's the two on either side, it's
[35:11]
perfect. I think it I think it works out
[35:13]
ideally for everybody involved. I
[35:15]
wouldn't have a problem with them taking
[35:17]
that that address as well. Even though
[35:20]
you're on that circle, you can't if you
[35:22]
can't access it, you can't access it. um
[35:24]
or if it's limited access, you can only
[35:26]
do it in the summertime. So,
[35:28]
>> and like Ted said, you know, if if an
[35:30]
emergency call is is made from those
[35:32]
homes, we'd rather actually have come
[35:34]
from
[35:37]
similar thing to Sunny Ridge. They call
[35:39]
from Sunny Ridge, the address is
[35:41]
actually Summit Creek. And so, if you
[35:44]
don't know that the house is actually on
[35:46]
Sunny Ridge, you go to Summit Creek and
[35:47]
then you're at their backyard and you
[35:48]
have to run around the house, right?
[35:50]
>> Yeah. So, and you're carrying heavy
[35:52]
stuff up ahead.
[35:55]
» I'm too fat for that.
[35:58]
>> Okay.
[35:59]
On that great note, let's uh move
[36:02]
to number three. Now, we're going to
[36:04]
just carry on with the meeting. Megan,
[36:06]
you're welcome to stick around. Um this
[36:08]
is exciting stuff, so we're glad to have
[36:11]
you
[36:13]
>> anytime. Anytime. Okay. Discussion of
[36:16]
June's 2026 financials and check
[36:18]
dispersements.
[36:22]
So, you guys should have received those
[36:25]
>> end of the year.
[36:26]
>> Didn't have any comments.
[36:28]
No comments.
[36:31]
>> I didn't get
[36:33]
it. It didn't look like there was
[36:36]
>> I looked at it all. I didn't see
[36:38]
>> I looked at it. Didn't see anything. It
[36:39]
was
[36:41]
>> It's helpful.
[36:42]
>> Nothing screwy.
[36:43]
>> Okay.
[36:44]
>> Nice.
[36:45]
>> Well, how about July? Anything in July
[36:48]
>> on any of them? They all work. I love
[36:50]
this. We're burning through this. Okay.
[36:52]
Uh number five, proposed resolution
[36:55]
dissolving the community development
[36:56]
committee. Um so I just want to take a
[37:00]
second here. Um and I think I can't
[37:03]
remember if I have already said
[37:05]
something publicly. I believe I did last
[37:08]
council meeting. Um but I just wanted to
[37:10]
again express my gratitude personally
[37:13]
for the great work that they did.
[37:14]
Carrie, you especially
[37:17]
>> did a great job. Carrie and Chloe kind
[37:19]
of worked really hard to get the grant
[37:21]
in the first place. Um, and then they
[37:25]
have been working what for two and a
[37:26]
half years it feels three
[37:30]
>> more than two and a half years um to
[37:33]
work on that general plan, strategic
[37:35]
plan, um, creating that committee and it
[37:38]
was it was some fabulous work. So, thank
[37:42]
you very much uh for that. Yeah, I think
[37:44]
Kristen did a great job too with her um
[37:47]
Kirstston with her her um leading that
[37:50]
committee and I think they are ready to
[37:53]
be dissolved.
[37:54]
>> Perfect. Are are they are the members of
[37:58]
the committee still interested in doing
[38:00]
more volunteering with the city and
[38:03]
doing more?
[38:03]
>> I think so.
[38:04]
>> Okay. I'd like to keep that on tap,
[38:06]
right? that that we got some
[38:09]
be the same people and and knowing we've
[38:11]
got some people that aren't on a
[38:12]
committee that are willing to do
[38:13]
committees.
[38:14]
>> So that committee was um Carrie was our
[38:18]
liaison. Kirstston was our president,
[38:20]
right? And then we had Brandy John's so
[38:23]
Steve's wife
[38:25]
>> um and Khloe Cleveland.
[38:27]
>> Yep.
[38:28]
>> Um then we had Sean Johnson who's on the
[38:32]
planning commission and Lorie Thomas
[38:34]
who's also on the planning commission.
[38:35]
So, it's really only Chloe
[38:37]
>> who's been in community earth
[38:39]
communications
[38:40]
>> and then Brandy. So, it was really fun
[38:42]
having Brandy
[38:42]
>> and Kirsten So,
[38:45]
>> Brandy and Kirsten are kind of the
[38:47]
>> We can't t Brandy because we're going to
[38:48]
make her an EMT.
[38:51]
>> She doesn't know that yet. We keep
[38:52]
telling her, but she doesn't know yet.
[38:54]
>> Perfect.
[38:55]
>> And Kirsten's
[38:56]
buried right now.
[38:57]
>> Then Steve's going to join her and get
[39:00]
>> she helped with Maple Festival.
[39:01]
>> Yes. Yeah. and and she they they they've
[39:03]
been people Chloe's been involved a lot
[39:05]
too. So I just want to make sure that
[39:07]
they're not trying to for run away.
[39:11]
>> Well, I think that they want to stay
[39:12]
involved in the city.
[39:13]
>> They just need a breather.
[39:15]
>> Yep.
[39:16]
>> Okay. Any other comments or questions
[39:19]
there?
[39:21]
>> Okay.
[39:23]
Wonderful. Then we're going to move on
[39:25]
to our departmental reports. So Ted,
[39:27]
this will be you. We're going to go to
[39:29]
the community development, public works,
[39:32]
and the fire department. Um, focusing
[39:35]
primarily on an update of payment
[39:37]
management project and funding. Uh, the
[39:39]
discussion of the snowplow leases and an
[39:41]
update on the pickle court.
[39:43]
>> Um, so pavement management project
[39:48]
is underway. They started yesterday. Um,
[39:51]
it's really tearing up some roads. So,
[39:54]
uh, they've been trying to keep as much
[39:56]
as as as good as they can access for
[39:59]
people to get to their houses, their
[40:00]
driveways. There are some temporary
[40:01]
disruptions while they dig up the road.
[40:03]
What we found in digging it up is
[40:05]
there's less pavement or dirt than what
[40:08]
we had hoped. And so, when you look at
[40:10]
it, you don't see when you go watch them
[40:12]
grind it up, there's you don't see
[40:14]
hardly any asphalt. It's all dirt,
[40:15]
right? So, we probably didn't have a lot
[40:16]
of asphalt down, hence all the cracking.
[40:19]
Um,
[40:21]
so what they do is they go through and
[40:23]
they grind it all up. It goes 8 inches
[40:25]
deep. So it gets the asphalt plus all
[40:27]
the dirt down to 8 in, which is mostly
[40:30]
dirt. Grinds it all together. And it's
[40:32]
pretty good dirt. It actually is rope
[40:33]
based material. So it's pretty good dirt
[40:35]
in there. And then they kind of left
[40:37]
with this
[40:39]
12 in just soft material. That's what
[40:41]
it's kind of hard to drive on. They got
[40:43]
a grater roller coming in behind it.
[40:45]
Raids it down and then rolls it. So it
[40:48]
makes it more drivable. So they're
[40:49]
trying to keep people's access as good
[40:51]
as they can while they're doing this.
[40:52]
But it is a little bit um I think we
[40:55]
were hoping it was more asphalt so it
[40:56]
just grind up asphalt grindings and it
[40:58]
would be fairly drivable all the time,
[41:00]
but it's not turning out that way. So
[41:03]
but we've had great residents. I haven't
[41:05]
heard only a couple have called just
[41:07]
asking, you know, you know what so I
[41:10]
don't get blocked my driveway or do I
[41:11]
need to move my car? A few things like
[41:12]
that. But everyone's been great about
[41:14]
it. They're turning away. They've got
[41:15]
Eagle Nest done and Grizzly done uh as
[41:19]
much as they're doing there. So, they're
[41:21]
turning away up there, they will start
[41:23]
paving Eagle Nest on Monday, I believe.
[41:26]
So, they told me and then within two
[41:28]
weeks they'll have all of that up done.
[41:31]
>> So, with that material that's left, do
[41:32]
they just roll that? So, they they came
[41:35]
in front of our house today. Noticed
[41:36]
that, too. It was a lot of dirt. It
[41:37]
looked like they were farming.
[41:39]
>> Yeah. Than anything else. So, I didn't
[41:41]
know if is is that material going to be
[41:43]
left like just they they had a roller
[41:45]
come through vibrated down. Is that
[41:46]
going to just be compacted and then the
[41:48]
new stuff laid on top of it or will that
[41:49]
be uh hauled away that
[41:51]
>> hauled away?
[41:52]
>> It'll be hauled out.
[41:52]
>> Yeah. So, they have to take that they
[41:54]
have to take it down to 3 in below the
[41:56]
curve because that's how much asphalt
[41:58]
would be down.
[41:58]
>> Okay.
[41:59]
>> So, they'll haul some away. They'll
[42:01]
leave the remaining there, grade it out,
[42:03]
act it all. So is it are they
[42:05]
classifying it as they're going to make
[42:08]
sure that it's proper roadbased
[42:10]
throughout the whole thing?
[42:12]
>> So
[42:13]
that's a kind of a loaded question
[42:16]
because they can't with asphalt in it.
[42:18]
But it is roadbased material that's
[42:21]
below there and even
[42:24]
>> even if if we run into any bad clays,
[42:26]
we'll look at removing them.
[42:28]
>> Okay.
[42:28]
>> So far we haven't. Um it's all been base
[42:31]
course. been mixing it with the asphalt,
[42:33]
but when you got asphalt mixings in it,
[42:35]
you can't classify it. You can't test
[42:36]
it.
[42:37]
>> Yeah. Well, yeah.
[42:38]
>> So, but even with that, it was not We
[42:41]
really don't I mean, having the budget
[42:42]
to bring all new base course in or
[42:45]
anything like that.
[42:46]
>> I know. We were planning for it to be I
[42:48]
just want to make sure it's it's
[42:51]
>> bad foundation's going to give us a bad
[42:53]
roof.
[42:53]
>> Right. Right. Exactly.
[42:54]
>> And that's what we don't want. We don't
[42:55]
want a a thick clay. We don't want a lot
[42:57]
of dirt in it where it's going to wash
[42:59]
out and cause us problems.
[43:02]
>> So far, everything they have churned up
[43:04]
has been pretty decent underneath.
[43:08]
>> We'll do compactions on it before the
[43:10]
pave.
[43:11]
>> Well, they Yeah, that's do actually
[43:13]
compaction testing. We're going to try,
[43:15]
but unless you do a proctor,
[43:17]
>> which on this mill material you
[43:20]
So,
[43:21]
>> so we'll compact it is as and we did
[43:23]
this is the same process we did to
[43:27]
spring broad hollow. When we hit the
[43:28]
water line project, it's the same thing
[43:30]
we did to all those roads.
[43:32]
>> And we haven't hit any fiber lines yet.
[43:34]
What's going on?
[43:35]
>> Well, I told contractor.
[43:38]
>> Some of them are like two inches below
[43:39]
the asphalt.
[43:40]
>> Yeah. Yeah. Some of them heat our
[43:42]
asphalt a little bit. That's how close
[43:44]
they
[43:45]
>> Comcast, too.
[43:47]
>> So, but it's it's going just a it's a
[43:49]
little bit more disruptive than we'd
[43:51]
hoped, but it's going well. Um, and I
[43:54]
think everything's going as as good as
[43:56]
it could right now. Uh, turning up a
[43:58]
little more dirt than we'd hope, but
[43:59]
we'll end up with a good product. It's
[44:01]
pretty good dirt. So,
[44:02]
>> the pave's going to be a little bit
[44:03]
worse, I think.
[44:07]
» Keeping access. I mean, we we have to
[44:09]
let it cure before we can get on it.
[44:11]
>> Yeah. Takes a couple hours as
[44:15]
they what they do is they roll it in the
[44:16]
rollers, put water.
[44:18]
>> Yeah.
[44:18]
>> And, uh, so it cures it pretty fast.
[44:21]
They'll probably need an hour or two to
[44:22]
let people drive them.
[44:23]
>> We just don't want any big trucks up
[44:24]
there.
[44:25]
>> Yeah.
[44:25]
>> We need to restrict that.
[44:26]
>> These hot.
[44:27]
>> So, one of the things that was mentioned
[44:28]
is that there would be uh door hangers
[44:31]
on those doors that were affected. Those
[44:33]
didn't happen. I'm not sure who if that
[44:36]
was city or if that was the contractor
[44:37]
that was supposed to put those out.
[44:39]
>> So, they they did get them put out, but
[44:42]
I don't think they I think they went
[44:43]
farther today. They planned. And so, I
[44:46]
called them. They're getting more made.
[44:48]
They were up here Saturday and out all
[44:51]
the ones up from uh Woodland Hills
[44:54]
Drive, Long Eagle Nest up to Grizzly and
[44:56]
down Grizzly
[44:58]
>> and we didn't get one. The only reason
[45:00]
we knew is there was a real close sign
[45:01]
at our
[45:02]
>> Yeah.
[45:02]
>> our door
[45:03]
>> and then they they started going around
[45:06]
Eagle Nest, but I don't think I think
[45:07]
their churning made it No, I think they
[45:09]
made it farther than they thought they
[45:10]
were going to.
[45:11]
>> So, they didn't get door knockers out to
[45:13]
some of the houses because they were
[45:14]
going faster than they thought. But I
[45:16]
did talk to their project manager today
[45:17]
and I'm asking them to revise those too
[45:20]
a little bit to let people know that
[45:22]
they will be disrupted in their driveway
[45:24]
for a little bit, maybe an hour or two
[45:26]
while they're going by and get it level
[45:27]
out a little bit.
[45:28]
>> I know we had people pushing their trash
[45:30]
cans out, pulling them in and getting
[45:32]
them moved or trash get picked up. Okay.
[45:34]
I know that they were
[45:35]
>> I talked to the trash truck driver and
[45:37]
he said he made it around the whole
[45:38]
thing and picked up all the trash cans
[45:40]
that were everything that was churned
[45:41]
up. He said it was a little difficult in
[45:44]
a few spots, but all the way around and
[45:46]
pick them all up. It's great.
[45:48]
>> Really like the adventure.
[45:49]
>> Yeah, it is a disruptive process. Uh but
[45:53]
they're going quicker, I think, than we thought. And and it's probably
[45:58]
>> it's less disruptive than our snowstorm,
[46:00]
so it's probably easy for him.
[46:04]
» Yeah. And we'll end up with a good
[46:06]
product. I'm going to try and send out
[46:07]
some of the amplifies and just up.
[46:13]
Um,
[46:14]
we did also have them look at parks. We
[46:16]
talked about paving the park. I went
[46:17]
there. I met with them this morning.
[46:18]
They're going to put together a cost if
[46:20]
we want to look at paving that parking
[46:21]
lot. It'll have to be graded out a
[46:23]
little bit and then they'll probably
[46:25]
they may have enough in the grading to
[46:26]
fill some material in and then pave it
[46:29]
out and pave it a little past the fence.
[46:31]
So, we can then build a trail from there
[46:33]
over to the new pickle ball. So, we have
[46:34]
ADA access all the way through from a
[46:36]
paved parking area. So, I'll come back
[46:40]
probably with a cost for that once they
[46:41]
get
[46:42]
>> It's pretty big rock there
[46:44]
in the that parking lot.
[46:46]
>> They're probably going to have to pull
[46:47]
that out, aren't they?
[46:50]
>> Oh, that parking lot's solid stuff
[46:52]
there. That's good material to put down.
[46:55]
>> All right. Yeah.
[46:58]
Anyway,
[46:59]
um snowplow leases. Um, so our snow plow
[47:04]
leases are due next June, June 2027. So
[47:08]
this will be our last winter with two
[47:10]
snow plows we have. We had talked about
[47:13]
staggering the snow plows, maybe sending
[47:15]
one back and leasing the new one and
[47:18]
then trying to extend one for another
[47:20]
year so we get off years. So we're
[47:23]
replacing one of the plows each year. I
[47:25]
had another thought that I want to bring
[47:27]
to the council and that is uh one I uh
[47:30]
the company we're going through right
[47:31]
now I'm not totally enamored with just
[47:34]
because they're not really responsive.
[47:36]
Um one and two I'm the international
[47:40]
snow plows are not probably the top of
[47:42]
the I don't know a while about the
[47:45]
international snow plows. So I reached
[47:47]
out to a company that we lease our other
[47:49]
vehicles through United Fleet Services.
[47:51]
These guys are local. uh their rep just
[47:54]
lives right here in Utah County in um
[47:56]
East Mona. Um and we lease a couple of
[48:00]
our vehicles through through them.
[48:01]
Really good to work with. So I asked
[48:03]
them about getting some um snow piles
[48:07]
through them.
[48:09]
And uh and we would change the chassis.
[48:11]
Ford doesn't make a chassis big enough
[48:13]
yet with a good good motor, but Chevy
[48:15]
does. Uh so we look at maybe getting a
[48:18]
couple Chevys.
[48:20]
um that would be the equivalent of the
[48:21]
internationals.
[48:23]
And um so I had them put together kind
[48:25]
of some lease costs for us. And what I
[48:27]
looked at was either a three-year lease
[48:28]
and then either a four or five, either
[48:30]
one. And so my thought was we send the
[48:33]
two back we have the internationals in
[48:35]
June because they're due. And then we
[48:37]
lease two new ones on a staggered lease.
[48:40]
So we'd get two new ones this summer
[48:43]
uh on a lease, but the lease would be
[48:45]
staggered. So we'd have a three-year
[48:46]
lease and then either a four or five
[48:48]
depending what we want to do. They're
[48:49]
pretty flexible. Uh, so I had him put
[48:51]
together a cost to do that for us
[48:53]
because if we wanted to, we could start
[48:54]
building them now because it'll take
[48:57]
probably three months to get the
[48:58]
chassis, then another three months or so
[49:00]
to get them built. Um, and they're
[49:04]
actually slightly cheaper than the lease
[49:07]
cost we have now through the other
[49:08]
company, but I'll just say it's a wash.
[49:10]
It's close enough it's probably a wash,
[49:11]
but I guess thing is it doesn't go up in
[49:14]
cost.
[49:16]
Uh we pay about 30 something,000 now for
[49:18]
leasing these. 33 I think it is a year.
[49:20]
Um the new ones would be about 30. So
[49:22]
we'd actually be saving a little bit
[49:23]
money. And that's a kind of an estimate
[49:24]
because the full buildout we don't we
[49:26]
estimated a cost for the buildout but I
[49:28]
think we've overestimated and he also
[49:31]
projected a little high. So it could
[49:32]
even come better not knowing the timing
[49:35]
of this.
[49:36]
>> The reli and Ben and and Ted you
[49:40]
probably both can speak to this. the
[49:41]
reliability of the the trucks we have.
[49:44]
Obviously much better than than the old
[49:46]
stuff, right? Obviously,
[49:48]
>> the plows don't just automatically fall
[49:50]
off of these ones. Yeah.
[49:51]
>> Um,
[49:53]
one of the thoughts when I when I
[49:54]
recommended when I thought about doing
[49:56]
the staggered leases and brought that up
[49:58]
previously
[50:00]
um was to actually get a third truck so
[50:03]
that we didn't have those breakdowns
[50:05]
because we had so many breakdowns
[50:07]
previously. Um, are we ready for that?
[50:10]
Are we ready for a third big truck or
[50:13]
>> Well, we've got a service truck that's a
[50:15]
plow truck. I know. And that's on a
[50:16]
lease as well.
[50:17]
>> Yeah. But it's doing circles. I mean,
[50:19]
it's Well, circles. It's doing
[50:21]
>> cold sacks and then main roads and
[50:23]
crossings and stuff like that. And and
[50:26]
it has a purpose and I hate taking away
[50:29]
from that purpose on that.
[50:32]
>> I And and Ben probably knows as much as
[50:34]
I do. I mean, it's hard to gauge from
[50:35]
this last year. We kept up just fine.
[50:36]
Last year last year heavy snow
[50:39]
>> there was one heavy heavy storm
[50:41]
>> supposed to have a big snow
[50:42]
>> took us uh that
[50:43]
>> we're kind of struggling with but
[50:46]
>> I don't know if we've had a need yet one
[50:49]
for 3 and two finding people to fill the
[50:52]
seats is actually
[50:52]
>> so I'm not even thinking I mean maybe on
[50:54]
a big storm we bring in know the fillins
[50:58]
like me to help on main roads and and or going off on the side with a third
[51:03]
plow I'm thinking of having a plow in
[51:05]
reserve
[51:07]
Um, so the
[51:08]
>> I don't think we're to that need.
[51:12]
>> Um, I do think though a third claw is
[51:14]
probably something we should have a
[51:16]
discussion pending Three Bridges.
[51:20]
>> Yeah. When when Three Bridges is ready,
[51:21]
they've talked about us picking up their
[51:25]
um and I could I could definitely see
[51:27]
that. And honestly, when you think about
[51:30]
it, Summit Creek is going to get to the
[51:32]
point where their Bobcat's not going to cut it, right?
[51:35]
they may be there and I've had
[51:37]
discussions with Bucky about potentially
[51:40]
having a conversation around us taking
[51:42]
on that as well and they would pay us
[51:44]
for those services. So I don't think the
[51:48]
discussion is necessarily 100%
[51:50]
premature. Uh currently though, um so
[51:54]
three years ago during the big big storm
[51:57]
when I was basically plowing every
[51:59]
single day for seven months straight.
[52:02]
>> Um
[52:03]
>> October
[52:03]
>> that Yes.
[52:06]
>> that was we had big O so we had the
[52:10]
massive huge one and it was broken 98%
[52:13]
of the time. Oh,
[52:14]
>> so we were basically hitting that season
[52:18]
um with just the two primaries and
[52:23]
service
[52:23]
>> and that was with the crappy service
[52:25]
truck that couldn't plow uphill. I know
[52:27]
>> um and so I think right now we are in
[52:30]
the best possible situation for our snow
[52:33]
plow
[52:34]
options. We're a year behind on
[52:36]
snowplows. And I'm glad Ted is bringing
[52:38]
this up now because we sat with the old
[52:40]
snow plows for an extra year while we
[52:42]
were getting these done. Doug, we need
[52:45]
to be thinking about I'm glad you
[52:46]
thought about it, Ted, and they're
[52:47]
bringing it up now because I think we
[52:49]
need to be pushing now to get those
[52:51]
leases going. I I 100% agree with you
[52:54]
>> because it takes almost a year to get
[52:56]
those get those trucks outfitted, you
[52:58]
know, built and outfitted. It just
[53:00]
>> that's why we're switching why I want to
[53:02]
switch leasing companies. uh it would
[53:04]
actually be a different company building
[53:05]
them for us as well. Different
[53:07]
individual building them for us as well
[53:10]
um and leasing through a different
[53:11]
company. So I did talk to him about the
[53:13]
company and he said it would take him
[53:15]
about three months to get the chassis
[53:17]
and then it'd probably be talking to the
[53:19]
guy building it probably be about 3
[53:21]
months.
[53:21]
>> Three months is super fast.
[53:24]
>> He said 10 weeks is what he told me. 10
[53:26]
weeks just three months. I've added a
[53:28]
little bit off to his 10 weeks. If we
[53:30]
ordered them then for the 2027 snow
[53:34]
season, they could be done by September
[53:37]
or October to be used.
[53:38]
>> Yeah. Yeah. We we it'd be good to get
[53:40]
started on it.
[53:41]
>> Yeah.
[53:42]
>> It probably middle of winter.
[53:44]
>> Yeah.
[53:44]
We want to run
[53:46]
>> an early start.
[53:46]
>> So, kind of I'm envisioning a time frame
[53:48]
on this is so Ted's done a lot of the
[53:51]
preliminary. I want to get that now over
[53:53]
to the finance committee for them to vet
[53:56]
all the numbers and to get that logic.
[53:58]
And I think proposing a third truck for
[54:00]
the finance committee to look through
[54:02]
makes perfect sense.
[54:03]
>> Y
[54:04]
>> um I personally don't think we're we're
[54:06]
to that need yet. Um I think there needs
[54:08]
to be an additional service required for
[54:12]
that third truck to be justified. Um
[54:15]
>> and revenue Um, but I think this
[54:19]
finance committee looking through that
[54:21]
is a great asset and utilization of the
[54:23]
finance committee. Once we get through
[54:25]
all of that process, which we all know
[54:27]
that takes a couple months, um, then I
[54:30]
think it's it's down to Ted deciding on
[54:33]
the the make, model, configuration that
[54:36]
>> that is what it is
[54:37]
>> and then we can pull the trigger with
[54:39]
the council. And I would suggest we try
[54:41]
to shoot for a couple months uh to have
[54:44]
this ready to go because we're going to
[54:45]
have to if we're going to want them for
[54:46]
the 20 27 28 winter get these going
[54:50]
within a couple months.
[54:51]
>> Yeah.
[54:52]
>> When when does the lease end the lease
[54:54]
when is it like June July?
[54:56]
>> Yeah. But we can they're they're we can
[54:58]
just extend our extend payments on it.
[55:01]
doesn't that's what we had to do last
[55:03]
time.
[55:04]
>> The internationals um
[55:08]
they they've Okay. But I mean, they're
[55:10]
not the best.
[55:11]
>> They're better than the last set.
[55:12]
>> They're better, but right now check
[55:14]
engine lights are on.
[55:15]
>> I don't It's the thing I love about
[55:17]
>> But I know why. I know why they're on.
[55:19]
And we're going to make some changes to
[55:20]
our plow with these trucks to try to
[55:24]
prevent that from thing. I love about
[55:26]
the Internationals. I'm just going to be
[55:28]
a little cheeky is, you know, they make
[55:30]
me feel a little more of the holiday
[55:31]
spirit because the dashboard does light
[55:33]
up lights all over
[55:35]
>> with the check engine light, with the
[55:37]
exhaust light, with all the other lights
[55:39]
that are all constantly going off. And
[55:41]
that's why I've also been pushing hard
[55:43]
with Ted
[55:45]
>> to change from the international model
[55:47]
is it is throwing cover so often
[55:52]
>> and until the Hercules motor gets into
[55:56]
>> um
[55:57]
>> I'd love to go for but they just don't
[55:59]
>> I know I'm just you know I'm playing
[56:01]
>> but has the because you know it was a
[56:02]
little controversial when we decided to
[56:04]
do the leases. There were people that
[56:05]
were opposed. So overall
[56:08]
internationals aside is it been better?
[56:10]
I mean, it seems like it's been like
[56:12]
100% better.
[56:14]
>> Much more reliable the trucks are when
[56:15]
we lease them and just run through
[56:17]
leases. And this is, you know, I
[56:19]
understand why other cities have this is
[56:21]
I would say most other cities that are
[56:24]
do a lot of plowing like us handle uh
[56:27]
their plows is they they lease them and
[56:30]
rotate them. And this and and I I see
[56:32]
why now. Um saves us. I mean, when
[56:35]
you're down, it is scrambled trying to
[56:38]
get stuff plowed and that's when things
[56:41]
get unsafe.
[56:43]
Um,
[56:44]
>> citizens get angry.
[56:45]
Uh, we've had a few
[56:48]
times this last year we went down with a
[56:49]
plow and it takes a while to get stuff
[56:51]
done when you only have one plow.
[56:53]
>> Um, so having reliable plows is is I
[56:57]
think very valuable. The best way to do
[56:58]
that is to replace them every three to
[57:00]
four years.
[57:01]
>> That's even long in my opinion. Um
[57:05]
because of salt. I mean just just
[57:07]
because of salt.
[57:08]
>> Yeah. And they don't do I mean like
[57:09]
these internationals this will be their
[57:11]
third season. Um they're I think they're
[57:13]
doing pretty good as far as wear.
[57:15]
>> Yeah. But stuff that goes out on these
[57:17]
or uh we lose a heated lamp. You know
[57:20]
>> pushing it beyond the three that we that
[57:24]
we set those with.
[57:25]
>> Well, I think this initial one I think
[57:27]
it'd be good to do it just maybe push
[57:29]
one to a four
[57:30]
>> and that would Yeah, you
[57:31]
>> then after that it would go to a three.
[57:32]
Then you'd be on three year.
[57:34]
>> Well, and maybe in two years you're
[57:36]
ready to to pull on that third truck.
[57:38]
That's kind of what I I'd like to get a
[57:40]
new truck. You know, if we had three
[57:42]
trucks and we needed three trucks and
[57:44]
we're getting a new one every single
[57:45]
year and have them all on threeear
[57:46]
leases. That's what I envisioned when I
[57:49]
brought that whole thing up just for the
[57:51]
reliability of it because your older
[57:53]
truck's going to be the one that does
[57:55]
fail and you've got two more that you
[57:57]
can maintain with a lot easier than you
[57:59]
can with one.
[58:00]
>> Oh, we got to get some snow. We've got
[58:02]
some awesome public works technician
[58:04]
that maintains all the structure.
[58:05]
>> I know. He's awesome.
[58:07]
>> He actually does too good a job because
[58:08]
if you get in there too quickly, you
[58:11]
slide all over cuz the the mats are so
[58:13]
clean.
[58:14]
>> I hate those mats.
[58:16]
>> Really?
[58:17]
>> He uses like tire polish or something.
[58:20]
>> That's great.
[58:24]
» They're weather tech, but they won't
[58:25]
stay still.
[58:28]
>> Throw a little dirt on there first. Oh,
[58:30]
he keeps things so clean and organized
[58:32]
down there that it's
[58:34]
>> No, he does he does a fantastic job. Um,
[58:36]
and but you know, that's that's kind of
[58:39]
my vision from three years ago was or
[58:42]
two years ago was I would like to see us
[58:45]
get to where we're putting a new truck
[58:46]
in service, big truck in service every
[58:50]
year and we've got them on three-year
[58:51]
leases because that's where our
[58:53]
reliability is. It we proved it, but
[58:56]
it's been proven before that. We did the
[58:58]
research, right? to put one of these on
[59:00]
and off for now.
[59:01]
>> And that makes sense, right? And and and
[59:04]
it might be time in two years to pick up
[59:06]
a third truck. That's kind of why I want
[59:07]
to bring up the discussion because if we
[59:10]
plan for that that would hit right in
[59:12]
the in the right zone to put us on every
[59:16]
year for one truck. Um I was wondering
[59:18]
how we were going to get there and that
[59:20]
a really good idea.
[59:23]
>> So I guess the direction is we'll pass
[59:25]
this on to the finance committee and
[59:27]
>> let's create it. Let's let's package the
[59:29]
whole thing up to deliver to the finance
[59:31]
committee and we'll we'll go from there.
[59:36]
» All right. Uh
[59:37]
>> probably have you come discuss it with
[59:38]
them too a lot of questions.
[59:42]
>> Um so the other grant we have is the uh
[59:46]
community project funding grant through
[59:47]
Burgess Owen's office. I did get hold of
[59:50]
his office this week. Um the list of uh 20 projects that Burgess
[59:57]
Owens took to the appropriations
[59:59]
committee has now been through the
[1:00:02]
appropriations committee. Uh I think his
[1:00:04]
list of 20 got limited to four coming
[1:00:06]
out of appropriations committee. Luckily
[1:00:09]
we were one of those four.
[1:00:10]
>> Oh wow.
[1:00:11]
>> Our money got cut a little bit. So we're
[1:00:13]
uh we got recommended from the
[1:00:15]
appropriations committee
[1:00:18]
to for $850,000.
[1:00:21]
So we trying for
[1:00:22]
>> what's that?
[1:00:22]
>> What were we trying for?
[1:00:24]
>> Well, we went in with three. So I went
[1:00:25]
in initially 4.9 million.
[1:00:28]
>> And they said there's no way you're
[1:00:29]
getting that because they they will
[1:00:30]
allow you to look up to five.
[1:00:31]
>> And they said there's no way. What could
[1:00:33]
you do uh to cut that? I said, well, if
[1:00:36]
we did 2.9 million, that would get most
[1:00:37]
of our project done um
[1:00:40]
>> and then they said, "Well, how about
[1:00:41]
less than that?" So we we eventually we
[1:00:44]
got down to about a million I think was
[1:00:45]
the least amount we and then we have to
[1:00:47]
do a match of that of about a half
[1:00:49]
million which we've been saving for but
[1:00:51]
so I went in with the lowest that we
[1:00:53]
would accept would be or we would want
[1:00:55]
not accept but we would want is a
[1:00:57]
million dollars with our match dollars
[1:00:58]
so be a million half dollar project. Um
[1:01:01]
they uh it got cut to $850
[1:01:06]
was the bad news. The good news is we we
[1:01:08]
made it through 16 others obviously got
[1:01:10]
cut.
[1:01:12]
>> So it's made it through the
[1:01:13]
appropriations committee. However, it's
[1:01:15]
now at Congress and probably won't I
[1:01:19]
don't know that we'll hear anything
[1:01:20]
going through Congress for the next
[1:01:21]
year. He said it's basically a bill they
[1:01:23]
got to pass, right? All these projects
[1:01:25]
and I think there was some multi-million
[1:01:28]
dollars of projects. It's all through
[1:01:29]
the United States. And I think I counted
[1:01:33]
how many hundreds of projects, but
[1:01:35]
anyway, it's one bill, but that bill
[1:01:37]
probably will make it through Congress
[1:01:38]
at best by the end of the year, he said.
[1:01:40]
So,
[1:01:42]
>> maybe if pending with elections, they
[1:01:44]
might be able to get it through.
[1:01:46]
>> Yeah.
[1:01:46]
>> End. And if not, then would that
[1:01:49]
continue on with Congresswoman Malloyy's
[1:01:52]
office now that she's going to be our
[1:01:54]
congresswoman after he leaves?
[1:01:57]
>> Yeah,
[1:01:58]
I think it would transfer those
[1:02:01]
existing things would transfer
[1:02:03]
>> cut that much. I honestly think we need
[1:02:06]
to not not say it's not going to happen,
[1:02:11]
but say it's phase two. I think we need
[1:02:14]
to to really look at financing to get
[1:02:18]
Maple and some other things done. We
[1:02:21]
we're gonna we're gonna we're sitting on
[1:02:23]
a time bump. So, what I would like to do
[1:02:26]
is use this to leverage funding. If you
[1:02:31]
can use federal funding to leverage
[1:02:32]
state funding, it goes it weighs a lot
[1:02:36]
better with the state and you'll likely
[1:02:37]
get better funding through the state.
[1:02:40]
So, um I want to start let's start the
[1:02:43]
application process with the state uh
[1:02:45]
because they have four funding meetings
[1:02:47]
a year, I think it is. Um, not sure when
[1:02:51]
the next one is, but start the
[1:02:53]
application process with the state in
[1:02:56]
hopes that this has made it through by
[1:02:58]
the time we hit the state and that we
[1:03:00]
can leverage this money into state
[1:03:02]
funding. The bottom line is though,
[1:03:04]
we're going to have to go through some
[1:03:05]
public hearings because it's going to
[1:03:07]
have to be a water rate.
[1:03:08]
>> Yeah. And and that's what I'm saying.
[1:03:09]
>> So, it's going to take a little time.
[1:03:10]
I've already done a water rate analysis.
[1:03:13]
>> I think we need to move.
[1:03:16]
>> We've done a water rate analysis and
[1:03:19]
I'll probably bring that to the council
[1:03:20]
maybe next council meeting to start
[1:03:21]
letting you look at water rates. Uh
[1:03:23]
because that'll have to go to public
[1:03:24]
hearing and we're going to have to raise
[1:03:25]
water rates in order to take on funding.
[1:03:28]
Um
[1:03:30]
and then start the application process
[1:03:31]
with the state and then leverage this
[1:03:32]
money. So rather than make it another
[1:03:35]
phase, I'd rather leverage it into one
[1:03:36]
bigger phase because I think that'll get
[1:03:38]
better.
[1:03:39]
>> Yeah.
[1:03:40]
>> We'll get better rats from the state
[1:03:43]
>> and they'll be more willing to
[1:03:45]
>> Yeah. They're more willing to
[1:03:46]
>> they're more willing to work with us
[1:03:48]
when they say that you have that
[1:03:51]
>> which is I it's going to take us six
[1:03:53]
months to get through the public hearing
[1:03:54]
process anyway.
[1:03:55]
>> So let's use the funding we have to
[1:03:57]
leverage more funding.
[1:03:58]
>> We don't have any funding.
[1:03:59]
>> Well, there's 850.
[1:04:01]
>> We don't have it.
[1:04:03]
>> We'll find out by the end of the year.
[1:04:04]
And we're going to be that long with the
[1:04:05]
state anyway. What I'm saying is if we
[1:04:07]
go to the state only and they give us
[1:04:08]
federal funding and we can't take this
[1:04:10]
funding,
[1:04:11]
>> right?
[1:04:11]
>> That makes sense. If we take this
[1:04:13]
funding to the state, then we can get
[1:04:14]
state funing which is lower interest and
[1:04:16]
less federal red tape.
[1:04:17]
>> Right.
[1:04:18]
>> So, it's But you can't match federal to
[1:04:20]
federal.
[1:04:21]
>> No, no, I'm not saying that.
[1:04:22]
>> But if we get this money, then I can't
[1:04:25]
request and the state gives us federal
[1:04:26]
money. Then one of the two I can't take.
[1:04:29]
Does that make sense?
[1:04:30]
>> Two different phases.
[1:04:32]
>> You can't leverage federal. It's
[1:04:33]
federal. And if I can leverage this
[1:04:35]
money, the state money will be better
[1:04:37]
interest rate, less red tape, and it'll
[1:04:38]
make our project go farther.
[1:04:40]
>> Yeah. But you're you're you're saying
[1:04:41]
that it's next year,
[1:04:43]
>> which is fine. We're not gonna start a
[1:04:45]
project till probably another year and a
[1:04:46]
half or so.
[1:04:48]
>> Well, I just want it to not be I want it
[1:04:50]
to be as fast as possible.
[1:04:52]
>> I just think we need to worry, but I
[1:04:54]
want to move as smart as possible, too.
[1:04:55]
>> I I get I get that, but I also I think
[1:04:58]
we
[1:04:59]
>> if we move too fast moving
[1:05:02]
>> I think we move too fast, we're going to
[1:05:05]
not get as much project
[1:05:09]
>> because we won't get as good as
[1:05:10]
>> Put the funding in place and you can do
[1:05:12]
more project. You can be more strateic.
[1:05:13]
I don't even know if we have to have in
[1:05:14]
place. If this makes it through Congress
[1:05:17]
by December,
[1:05:18]
uh we're not going to get on the
[1:05:20]
drinking water report before that
[1:05:21]
anyway.
[1:05:23]
We start the application process with
[1:05:24]
them, go through our public hearings.
[1:05:26]
That's going to take us at least till
[1:05:27]
December.
[1:05:28]
>> Yeah, let's let's do it. Let's That's
[1:05:30]
what I'm saying.
[1:05:30]
>> This to leverage it
[1:05:33]
>> and and if this comes through, great. If
[1:05:36]
it fails, then ready to at least do part
[1:05:40]
of it, right? sort of changes our
[1:05:42]
application process. It might, but I
[1:05:45]
think we need to move. I
[1:05:47]
>> Ted is currently working on it.
[1:05:49]
>> That's what I'm a long time. So, I've
[1:05:52]
done a water rate study, which is the
[1:05:54]
first step.
[1:05:55]
>> Um,
[1:05:56]
>> and I've already talked to Division of
[1:05:57]
Drinking Water about um funding options
[1:06:00]
with them. Um, but once again, I I think
[1:06:04]
there's a balance of moving but also
[1:06:06]
moving smartly and getting as much
[1:06:08]
project as we can. I would rather get
[1:06:10]
money to do Maple, Mountain Veil, and
[1:06:14]
more streets than just get money to do
[1:06:17]
Maple because then you leverage your
[1:06:18]
construction dollars farther as well
[1:06:20]
because then you're not.
[1:06:21]
>> I I agree with it. I just
[1:06:23]
>> So, I think the more we can leverage
[1:06:24]
this and I think waiting three months is
[1:06:26]
not going to affect our water lines at
[1:06:28]
all.
[1:06:29]
>> Um,
[1:06:29]
>> is it just going to be three months? I
[1:06:31]
mean, we waited six months because they
[1:06:33]
weren't doing any lending and then we
[1:06:34]
waited another three months and then
[1:06:36]
that's what I'm saying. I don't seem
[1:06:38]
like we're waiting.
[1:06:40]
>> We're not wait. So, bottom line, we're
[1:06:41]
not waiting. We've been doing a lot of
[1:06:43]
stuff.
[1:06:44]
>> I know you. I I know you are. Um,
[1:06:46]
>> and it's a process.
[1:06:47]
>> I think I think we're good. Yes.
[1:06:49]
>> So, so the point being is I agree with
[1:06:52]
what you're saying. I mean, urgency. I I
[1:06:54]
also know that Ted on so many occasions,
[1:06:57]
not myself, but Ted and others have gone
[1:07:00]
in the middle of the night to check on
[1:07:02]
waterline brakes and um people who
[1:07:04]
haven't had service all of a sudden. So
[1:07:06]
I I don't think we need to relay the
[1:07:08]
urgency to Ted because I'm sure he's
[1:07:10]
selfishly the one who cares the most
[1:07:12]
about it.
[1:07:13]
>> I would love to start tomorrow. Yeah.
[1:07:15]
>> But I also want to get the big bank. I
[1:07:17]
would rather do more water line. If it cost us six months, we can do
[1:07:21]
another mile mile of water line for the
[1:07:23]
same amount of funding.
[1:07:24]
>> Yeah.
[1:07:25]
>> Request.
[1:07:25]
>> Yeah.
[1:07:26]
>> Um stretch our dollars further. I would
[1:07:28]
rather wait the six months and do
[1:07:30]
another mile water line because that
[1:07:31]
saves me more nights out in the middle
[1:07:33]
of the night.
[1:07:34]
>> Yeah. If we have more water line
[1:07:35]
replaced and if we move too fast I think
[1:07:38]
we're going to not try and nails these
[1:07:40]
two funings together
[1:07:42]
then um you know we're going to probably
[1:07:46]
get less of a project done and just
[1:07:48]
leave us more
[1:07:49]
>> and it would affect our water.
[1:07:50]
>> There's no way to do a parallel path
[1:07:52]
here.
[1:07:53]
>> That's what we're doing.
[1:07:55]
>> Well, you're you're saying I don't want
[1:07:58]
to forgive one funding. I don't want to
[1:08:00]
forget one funding to accept.
[1:08:01]
>> I I I understand that take them both at
[1:08:03]
the same time.
[1:08:04]
>> But can we say if if if the federal
[1:08:07]
funding works, we're going this path. If
[1:08:09]
it doesn't, we're going this path, but
[1:08:10]
we're starting them at the same time.
[1:08:12]
>> They're already doing this.
[1:08:13]
>> Okay. That's what I want to make sure
[1:08:14]
that we're delaying waiting on this
[1:08:19]
>> and I haven't been.
[1:08:21]
>> I think we we can keep going down this
[1:08:23]
path, but let's talk about pickles.
[1:08:29]
been waiting.
[1:08:30]
>> So, the pitfall courts, uh, we have the
[1:08:33]
30% design complete and that's been sent
[1:08:35]
out to the parks and wreck. I did get an
[1:08:37]
email from Sher today. Um, I didn't get
[1:08:40]
a chance to read the whole email, but
[1:08:42]
the gist of it, I think it sounds like
[1:08:43]
there was a lot of comments back
[1:08:45]
committee.
[1:08:45]
>> Okay.
[1:08:46]
>> Um, most of them saying, let's go with
[1:08:50]
what has been shown. So, uh, the plan is
[1:08:54]
for the engineers to have the work
[1:08:56]
complete, final design done by September
[1:08:59]
1, and then we'll put it out to bid. Um,
[1:09:02]
it'll take us probably a month to get
[1:09:04]
through the bidding process. Uh, pick a
[1:09:07]
contractor and just let them kind of
[1:09:09]
determine the timing, uh, based on the
[1:09:11]
weather, if we can do concrete, whether
[1:09:12]
they get part of it done this fall and
[1:09:14]
then come back next spring or how we do
[1:09:15]
that. But, so, it's in the works. uh we
[1:09:18]
should have design done by the end of
[1:09:20]
this 1 of September.
[1:09:22]
>> Um in in line with that, I didn't have
[1:09:25]
an opportunity to make that meeting, but
[1:09:27]
uh I do want to sit down with some key
[1:09:32]
stakeholders and just get the fundraiser
[1:09:34]
going even though we're not finalized,
[1:09:37]
just figure out what we want, what
[1:09:38]
inclusion. So, I don't know who wants to
[1:09:40]
be a part of that, but I'll I don't know
[1:09:42]
if it's better to work with you, Ted, on
[1:09:44]
that or if we want to work with Sherry
[1:09:46]
or whatever. She she's gone quite a bit
[1:09:49]
and so we haven't had a chance to catch
[1:09:51]
up, but
[1:09:53]
um I I do want to get that rolling
[1:09:54]
because it's going to be a long process
[1:09:55]
and I'd love to target
[1:09:58]
>> getting 50 to 75,000 for the city from
[1:10:01]
that. So,
[1:10:01]
>> it'd be nice if we could have something
[1:10:03]
for Windland Hills Day and everybody's
[1:10:05]
there. They're in the giving mood.
[1:10:06]
>> I would suggest working with
[1:10:10]
parks trails rec committee and their
[1:10:12]
council representative.
[1:10:13]
>> Okay.
[1:10:14]
>> To get through the funding stuff um just
[1:10:17]
because I think they would be able to
[1:10:18]
drive in the community better.
[1:10:20]
>> Okay.
[1:10:21]
>> Having community representation.
[1:10:23]
>> Okay.
[1:10:23]
>> So, I suggest working through them and
[1:10:25]
>> just tell Ted how much money he's got.
[1:10:27]
>> You might want to call some of the other
[1:10:29]
communities around us that have done
[1:10:31]
something similar with the with the
[1:10:33]
bricks or pavers or whatever just to
[1:10:35]
>> get a jump on best practices
[1:10:37]
>> so that Then when you meet, you can say,
[1:10:39]
"Oh, this community this this this."
[1:10:42]
>> Yeah. Yeah.
[1:10:43]
>> This might be helpful to call them,
[1:10:45]
>> see what they see what they've done. Um
[1:10:47]
the only thing that I noticed is are we
[1:10:49]
going to make sure that those courts are
[1:10:51]
turned so they're going north south?
[1:10:53]
>> They are.
[1:10:54]
>> Oh, they are currently. Okay. Sweet.
[1:11:01]
The only other thing I wanted to talk
[1:11:02]
about for just a second since it's a
[1:11:04]
public works thing was the internet
[1:11:06]
outage, which I know a lot of people
[1:11:08]
were were upset about that and um to
[1:11:11]
recognize that it was nothing to do with you or in our city but outside of
[1:11:16]
our city. Um, when I talked with Utopia
[1:11:19]
about that, they called me right away,
[1:11:22]
sent me some pictures and just so that
[1:11:24]
our residents who also called all of us
[1:11:27]
um that it it did have the blue stakes
[1:11:30]
and they know what the regulations are
[1:11:32]
on that, but um it appears that as I
[1:11:35]
talked with other cities too, um
[1:11:37]
sometimes contractors realize that
[1:11:39]
August are getting close to projects
[1:11:42]
needing to be finished, so they don't
[1:11:43]
always do um everything they're supposed
[1:11:46]
to like dig by hand within so many feet
[1:11:48]
of that blue blue stake line etc.
[1:11:51]
>> This one actually the contractor was
[1:11:53]
SCSD.
[1:11:54]
>> Mhm.
[1:11:55]
>> And Utopia
[1:11:58]
incorrectly marked the line.
[1:12:00]
>> Oh.
[1:12:01]
>> So there was no violation beyond the
[1:12:04]
fact that the blue stakes was marked
[1:12:06]
incorrectly. So thus when they dug there
[1:12:09]
was not supposed to be anything there.
[1:12:11]
>> I see.
[1:12:12]
>> That's why they hit it.
[1:12:13]
>> Yeah. So it happens, you know, fairly
[1:12:15]
often that these things get dug up. So
[1:12:17]
it was just explaining to our residents
[1:12:21]
that
[1:12:22]
the hard part is is that whoever digs it
[1:12:25]
up has to pay for it. But um not in this
[1:12:29]
case now, yes, but typically but there
[1:12:33]
are no punitive damages. So if a if a
[1:12:36]
contractor does do it wrong,
[1:12:39]
all they have to do is pay for the the
[1:12:42]
um the damage and to get it fixed which
[1:12:45]
you know to our city being out of the
[1:12:47]
internet all day long that affected a
[1:12:49]
lot of people in their business and
[1:12:51]
schooling and whatever right and so
[1:12:53]
there's there's nothing that is
[1:12:55]
currently done but I think there is some
[1:12:58]
legislation being proposed so whichever
[1:13:00]
site is at fault has to pay some
[1:13:04]
damages to the municipality
[1:13:05]
>> sometimes proving fault right so I've
[1:13:08]
done millions and millions of dollars
[1:13:10]
worth projects
[1:13:12]
and I probably have seen I have not yet
[1:13:14]
seen a project where they don't get
[1:13:16]
utilities
[1:13:17]
>> right. Um it is it is tough because
[1:13:20]
utility companies one always don't mark.
[1:13:23]
So utility companies hire third party
[1:13:26]
>> blue stickers usually market. Now we do
[1:13:27]
our own but other hire third party
[1:13:30]
utility companies. So and I actually sat
[1:13:32]
in a meeting where a contractor hit
[1:13:36]
>> 500 homes out of power in the winter a
[1:13:38]
hospital three intersections and blew a
[1:13:41]
water line apart. And this was major
[1:13:44]
like tens of thousands of dollars worth
[1:13:46]
of damage because a blue stagger didn't
[1:13:49]
mark a power line correct and the
[1:13:50]
contractor hit it. It was a main power
[1:13:51]
feed for this whole 600. It was up in uh
[1:13:54]
east Salt Lake area. Um and so there
[1:13:59]
were meeting after meeting after meeting
[1:14:00]
who was at fault here. Was it the Blue
[1:14:03]
State company? Was it the utility
[1:14:04]
company? Was it the contractor? And
[1:14:07]
obviously then you get attorneys
[1:14:08]
involved and everything like that. Um,
[1:14:11]
so it is tough and I think that's why
[1:14:13]
they they don't because you you would
[1:14:15]
probably spend this just personal
[1:14:18]
opinion of mine. You you spend more
[1:14:19]
money on attorneys and fighting these in
[1:14:20]
court than you would just telling the
[1:14:22]
company, listen, you got to pay for our
[1:14:25]
company to fix it. And that's going to
[1:14:27]
be your damage. And that's the way it is
[1:14:28]
now. Um, now they couldn't fight them
[1:14:30]
out, but I think it's it's because
[1:14:32]
sometimes it's tough to prove, too,
[1:14:34]
because utility says if you their their
[1:14:37]
marks are within three feet,
[1:14:39]
>> right? So they say if it's if it's
[1:14:40]
within three feet then it's good mark.
[1:14:43]
>> Um but then you've got to prove was it
[1:14:45]
within three feet? Was it 3 feet one
[1:14:46]
inch? Was it two feet 11 inch? You know
[1:14:48]
and when it's dug up the mark's gone.
[1:14:50]
>> So how do you prove that? So those
[1:14:51]
things are really tough. I think that'll
[1:14:53]
be a hard cell.
[1:14:55]
>> That's just my personal opinion.
[1:14:57]
>> Taking phone calls residents
[1:14:59]
>> and the general consensus of all of them
[1:15:02]
that called in who you know it's an
[1:15:05]
inconvenience, right?
[1:15:08]
It's a first world inconvenience. I get
[1:15:11]
it.
[1:15:12]
>> Problems.
[1:15:13]
>> You know what? People have businesses.
[1:15:14]
My husband had a big presentation. He
[1:15:17]
had to go to Probo and do it.
[1:15:18]
>> It's an inconvenience,
[1:15:20]
>> but it's not a lifealtering
[1:15:24]
thing
[1:15:25]
>> for most people. Yeah, it wasn't. I
[1:15:27]
think the calls that I I got once they
[1:15:30]
saw that um the city was being
[1:15:32]
responsive that helped
[1:15:34]
>> have nothing to do with But you just put
[1:15:36]
something out, right? So, we put
[1:15:37]
something out and I think that helped
[1:15:39]
people right away. And then having that
[1:15:42]
timetable that said they're hoping the
[1:15:44]
estimation time, of course, they all it
[1:15:47]
did help when you put the thing out that
[1:15:49]
said, um, hey, call your own utility
[1:15:52]
comp, you know, the utility company and they or look on their website
[1:15:56]
because they're putting things out. That
[1:15:58]
also helps people to alleviate the panic
[1:16:01]
of is it just a temporary thing? Is it
[1:16:03]
an all day thing? Was it somebody in our
[1:16:06]
city? Was it outside of our city? All
[1:16:07]
those things help deescalate the tension
[1:16:10]
that can come from these kinds of
[1:16:12]
things. So, I thought we did a good job
[1:16:14]
in in at least communicating that out um
[1:16:18]
and and recognizing and I think that
[1:16:21]
helped a lot on the people who were who
[1:16:23]
were upset because they then knew drive
[1:16:26]
to Provo or drive to Starbucks or
[1:16:28]
wherever they were going to get their
[1:16:29]
internet that day.
[1:16:33]
If that happens again on a workday week,
[1:16:36]
like I have Starlink and
[1:16:39]
>> and you know what I
[1:16:40]
>> and nobody at my house is home in the
[1:16:42]
middle of the day. I'm just saying you
[1:16:43]
could borrow it
[1:16:44]
>> and most of us well actually our IT
[1:16:47]
contractor has two Star Links and he
[1:16:50]
totally forgot to tell me it and he has
[1:16:53]
one that we could have used. We had
[1:16:55]
hotspots or at least I had a hot spot on
[1:16:57]
my home. Ted had a hot spot on his
[1:17:00]
phone. we were able to still um do work
[1:17:04]
and function. Plus, there's lots of, you
[1:17:06]
know, filing and going through stuff in
[1:17:08]
the back that doesn't take internet. We still are able to function here at
[1:17:11]
the city.
[1:17:12]
>> I just worked out my hospital.
[1:17:13]
>> Okay. I just I have one and it's just
[1:17:15]
for camping. So, I was just offering
[1:17:18]
>> Yeah. And there might be residents who
[1:17:20]
need that, but um
[1:17:24]
» wonderful. No, I think that's good. And
[1:17:26]
I also in my vlog this week, I put up a
[1:17:30]
statement about utilities.
[1:17:32]
>> I thought it was good. That's why I just
[1:17:34]
wanted to bring it up, but I didn't know
[1:17:36]
that the other part, but
[1:17:38]
>> helpful.
[1:17:39]
>> No. Okay. Wayne,
[1:17:41]
>> uh, planning commission and code
[1:17:42]
enforcement.
[1:17:49]
When the
[1:17:52]
city council got out of the subdivision
[1:17:55]
business, I told you I'd periodically
[1:17:56]
give you some updates and things on
[1:17:59]
subdivisions and particularly maybe some
[1:18:02]
nuances that were uh experiencing with
[1:18:05]
them a little bit. So, uh I wanted to
[1:18:07]
talk to you a little bit about two
[1:18:09]
different subdivision
[1:18:11]
um issues. I sent you all a couple of
[1:18:15]
pictures of Belle View subdivision.
[1:18:19]
Uh they finished all all their
[1:18:23]
infrastructure work um many months ago
[1:18:27]
and made no effort to record.
[1:18:32]
And so um I should record phase B. They
[1:18:37]
have two lots that were recorded a long
[1:18:39]
time ago. Um but the other lots uh are
[1:18:44]
not recorded yet so they can't sell
[1:18:48]
those lots. Um some subdivision
[1:18:54]
um developers are taking
[1:18:59]
reservation money and things like that
[1:19:02]
which uh
[1:19:05]
we're not concerned with. But the bottom
[1:19:09]
line is the lots aren't recorded and so
[1:19:11]
we don't issue a building permit for
[1:19:13]
those lots until there's a recording
[1:19:15]
done. We uh have tried uh for many
[1:19:20]
months to try to get uh the developers
[1:19:25]
of
[1:19:27]
Belleview to record. there was some information
[1:19:33]
that needed to be added to the myar and
[1:19:36]
um
[1:19:38]
they for one reason or another were
[1:19:41]
haven't done it. So our ordinance it
[1:19:45]
gives them 365 days from when they start
[1:19:50]
infrastructure work all recording.
[1:19:54]
If it's not if the if the recording is
[1:19:57]
not done within 365 days they lose all
[1:20:01]
of vesting that they've they've done.
[1:20:05]
It's like they're going to have to start
[1:20:07]
over again.
[1:20:09]
We've communicated that to them that
[1:20:11]
they've lost. they've lost that. So,
[1:20:14]
we're trying to set up with them a uh a
[1:20:18]
shortened version of
[1:20:21]
reactivating the subdivision. Now,
[1:20:26]
they can get an extension if they ask 60
[1:20:29]
days before it's due to expire, and they
[1:20:32]
didn't do that. Um, so we've given them
[1:20:36]
a number of things that we want updates
[1:20:38]
on uh in order to
[1:20:42]
go forward with uh
[1:20:45]
a request now to the city to uh
[1:20:50]
reestablish that subdivision process for
[1:20:53]
them. One of the concerns that uh
[1:20:58]
I have planning commission has is when
[1:21:03]
the original approval was under the
[1:21:05]
previous owner of the plants
[1:21:09]
>> and
[1:21:13]
the the other developer um
[1:21:17]
came in and purchased the property then
[1:21:20]
and continue to go forward with that
[1:21:22]
development plan for the the subdivision
[1:21:25]
and they're the ones who have done all
[1:21:27]
the work associated with it. Um
[1:21:32]
when we approved us planning commission
[1:21:35]
and you all uh for that development of
[1:21:39]
that um subdivision,
[1:21:42]
we gave the then developer who was Carol
[1:21:45]
Bell uh some approvals
[1:21:49]
to do some grading on that property to
[1:21:54]
facilitate
[1:21:56]
uh placement of of homes and making lots
[1:22:00]
of
[1:22:01]
It was of such a design that uh was
[1:22:04]
going to be extremely hard to do. So we
[1:22:08]
gave them those allowances at the
[1:22:10]
beginning and there was a commitment
[1:22:12]
from Carol Bell's group that they would
[1:22:15]
do as minimum as possible in order to
[1:22:19]
get the grading that was necessary to
[1:22:22]
allow homes and structures to be built
[1:22:27]
space.
[1:22:27]
>> Correct.
[1:22:28]
>> Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
[1:22:29]
>> So, um we're assuming that got
[1:22:33]
transmitted to the new developers and
[1:22:36]
it's our understanding that the civil
[1:22:38]
engineer stayed the same, but I don't
[1:22:41]
know how much checking that was done
[1:22:43]
during the process. My concern is they
[1:22:47]
may not have done enough rating to
[1:22:51]
facilitate having less than 35% slopes
[1:22:56]
in that area. those pictures that I sent
[1:22:59]
you.
[1:22:59]
>> Yeah,
[1:23:00]
>> there were two lots the back side of the
[1:23:03]
culde-sac.
[1:23:05]
And when you look at those and you look
[1:23:07]
at the drop off in front coming down to
[1:23:09]
the the property line, they're just to
[1:23:13]
me eyeballing it, it seems like it's
[1:23:17]
going to be problematic.
[1:23:20]
What we want what we don't want to be in
[1:23:22]
a situation is is we go ahead and
[1:23:24]
approve that subdivision, approve those
[1:23:27]
lots and then somebody comes back to us
[1:23:29]
and says we can't build on it. Your
[1:23:32]
slope is too great and by ordinance they
[1:23:34]
can't. So then they have to potentially
[1:23:37]
go through the variance process and pay
[1:23:39]
come in and appeal their case. So
[1:23:42]
there's there's provisions that we can
[1:23:44]
do that if we planning commission now
[1:23:49]
and give them um variances in the
[1:23:53]
beginning of the uh infrastructure work.
[1:23:57]
So that's we've asked them to provide us
[1:24:02]
basically a uh grading survey so that we
[1:24:07]
can see what what grades are
[1:24:10]
particularly in these two lots that I
[1:24:11]
took pictures of and sent to you. So
[1:24:14]
that if if if they don't qualify
[1:24:19]
going through a new subdivision process
[1:24:21]
now and they can get in there and make
[1:24:23]
and do some more grading to accommodate
[1:24:26]
uh the law
[1:24:28]
>> if they've already gone through and and
[1:24:30]
it has expired the 365 days. So they
[1:24:33]
have to start over. But wouldn't the
[1:24:35]
original approval that's conditioned on
[1:24:38]
them making those lots buildable with
[1:24:41]
the new grading that would still be
[1:24:43]
enforced? So could it would not be
[1:24:45]
enforced.
[1:24:46]
>> It lose all vesting that they had.
[1:24:48]
>> So it would have to be reapproved by us
[1:24:50]
and then we could put that statement
[1:24:52]
back in.
[1:24:53]
>> We can
[1:24:54]
>> and then that's what
[1:24:55]
>> yeah instead of variance to the new
[1:24:57]
people buying it just if they are going
[1:24:59]
to go through the process all over we
[1:25:01]
just put that back into the whole
[1:25:03]
development agreement.
[1:25:04]
>> Yes. I think that would be better for
[1:25:06]
the
[1:25:08]
>> for the developer to have to be
[1:25:09]
responsible for that, not the homeowner
[1:25:11]
responsible for a variance. Because a
[1:25:12]
variance, although it's nice, it also
[1:25:15]
increases the price of your home to have
[1:25:18]
to build. I mean, we can build anywhere,
[1:25:19]
but increases the price when it's on a slope that is not really meant to
[1:25:25]
be buildable.
[1:25:26]
>> Correct. So, that's our plan going
[1:25:28]
forward, what we're going to do, and
[1:25:30]
we'll see what the engineer comes back
[1:25:32]
with as far as the slopes that are in
[1:25:34]
there now. But eyeballing it, I I just
[1:25:37]
have reservations that and they have
[1:25:41]
that causes problems with septic.
[1:25:43]
They're not on sewer. that potentially
[1:25:46]
causes problems with septic because
[1:25:48]
public health has requirements that they
[1:25:51]
have to be so far away for
[1:25:54]
>> and we slopes force
[1:25:56]
>> alternate um
[1:25:58]
>> they may there's two lots that do
[1:26:00]
require and we have we're getting a new
[1:26:02]
letter
[1:26:03]
>> because that letter expired in three
[1:26:05]
years it's passed now
[1:26:07]
>> so they're going to have to get us a new
[1:26:08]
public health letter regarding their
[1:26:10]
septic systems. So, there's quite a few
[1:26:12]
things that they're they're going to
[1:26:14]
have to do a new
[1:26:16]
and we're still having we're having
[1:26:19]
difficulties getting a hold of
[1:26:20]
responsible parties uh in this process
[1:26:24]
with that group that get somebody who's
[1:26:27]
willing to
[1:26:30]
>> but they won't be able to sell them
[1:26:31]
because even though they've been
[1:26:34]
technically approved, they haven't been
[1:26:37]
recorded. So, they can't sell them
[1:26:38]
anyways.
[1:26:39]
>> That's correct. Other than the two, the
[1:26:41]
first two they did, they could they
[1:26:43]
could sell those, but the rest they
[1:26:44]
can't they can't sell.
[1:26:46]
>> Well, one of these was they were pushing
[1:26:49]
to buy one of the second phase lots to
[1:26:52]
merge it with the first phase lot, if
[1:26:54]
you remember. Um, and that obviously
[1:26:56]
didn't happen because we never got that
[1:26:59]
recorded. So, apparently, I'm guessing
[1:27:02]
those those buyers have have backed out
[1:27:04]
completely. So, but septic was an issue
[1:27:08]
with these. And I appreciate that you
[1:27:10]
staying on top of that because that was one of the things that we
[1:27:13]
looked at when when they brought that
[1:27:15]
because that was still under the council
[1:27:17]
at the time
[1:27:19]
>> and and so it was kind of a dual
[1:27:22]
planning planning commission and
[1:27:23]
council.
[1:27:25]
>> But thank you for keeping an eye on
[1:27:27]
that.
[1:27:28]
>> Yes. Uh any questions on on that part?
[1:27:34]
We're we're trying to work with them and
[1:27:37]
help them through some of these things
[1:27:38]
and we're cutting a lot of the the
[1:27:41]
normal stuff out of a second attempt
[1:27:45]
here to get uh subdivision approved to
[1:27:48]
facilitate. So, but we're satisfying
[1:27:51]
ourselves, but we don't want to short
[1:27:54]
ourselves the city in in this process.
[1:27:57]
But
[1:27:58]
>> as long as we're staying within
[1:28:01]
I don't I don't want you skipping over
[1:28:03]
anything that that is in our code
[1:28:05]
because that we don't want to put any
[1:28:06]
liability back on on us for anything
[1:28:10]
even though it's gone through it once.
[1:28:12]
Let's not make sure let's make sure that
[1:28:14]
we're not missing anything that you're crossing all te's and dotting my
[1:28:18]
eyes because we don't want to stick our
[1:28:20]
necks out there. So I I'm glad there's a
[1:28:23]
way for you to to that we in there that
[1:28:25]
you can you know do a little bit quicker
[1:28:28]
for them. So hopefully they get through
[1:28:30]
this.
[1:28:31]
>> Okay.
[1:28:32]
>> Uh The second one, just to bring you up
[1:28:35]
today a little bit, is Havenwood
[1:28:37]
subdivision.
[1:28:39]
You might notice that since the road got
[1:28:41]
in, everything else stopped.
[1:28:43]
>> Yeah.
[1:28:43]
>> Over there.
[1:28:44]
>> So, there's ditches that they haven't
[1:28:46]
put in yet. And there's a driveway uh
[1:28:51]
that they haven't torn up and a new one
[1:28:53]
put in.
[1:28:54]
>> I was wondering about that one, too.
[1:28:56]
That was
[1:28:56]
>> that's still hanging for us. That was
[1:28:57]
part of the infrastructure work that was
[1:28:59]
to be done.
[1:29:01]
they they bid on another project that
[1:29:05]
they got. So, their attention has been
[1:29:08]
taken uh from that area, but we've been
[1:29:12]
in touch with them and informed them
[1:29:13]
that these things there's not going to
[1:29:15]
be any building permits issued and
[1:29:17]
they've got quite a bit of interest in those lots over there and they're
[1:29:21]
recorded on some of them on phase A that
[1:29:24]
they've they've done. Um, but they still
[1:29:28]
got some infrastructure work that they
[1:29:30]
need to do.
[1:29:31]
>> So with the phase A and B when they
[1:29:35]
connected that didn't stop phase A. They
[1:29:38]
were able to record that.
[1:29:39]
>> Correct.
[1:29:40]
>> Okay. I didn't I didn't real I didn't I
[1:29:42]
thought once they kind of merged they
[1:29:44]
couldn't record.
[1:29:45]
>> They recorded all the work all the
[1:29:47]
infrastructure that they were doing. So
[1:29:49]
that's that's in phase A.
[1:29:51]
>> Okay.
[1:29:52]
>> So they haven't finished that yet.
[1:29:56]
Anyway, that's kind of where that's at.
[1:29:57]
If you notice, you know, nobody's over
[1:29:59]
there for
[1:29:59]
>> Yeah. while. But we'll get them back.
[1:30:02]
So, that's kind of where that's at.
[1:30:06]
>> Expire.
[1:30:08]
>> Want them to expire on you.
[1:30:10]
>> But they're bonded, right?
[1:30:11]
>> They are.
[1:30:13]
>> Yes.
[1:30:14]
>> I have a question. If you're done with
[1:30:16]
that on code enforcement, um, when we
[1:30:20]
have a resident who has had some issues
[1:30:22]
with code enforcement and then their
[1:30:24]
home and becomes for sale, but those
[1:30:26]
items haven't been taken care of. Um,
[1:30:30]
how does that work? If if do we still
[1:30:33]
require them to finish that or come up
[1:30:36]
to date in the code before they can sell
[1:30:38]
it? Do we put a lean on the property so
[1:30:41]
that the new homeowners know it's
[1:30:42]
there's not it's not in compliance. What
[1:30:45]
do we do? Because there is a home that's
[1:30:46]
for sale on Maple right now, but has a
[1:30:49]
lot of issues and
[1:30:51]
>> I've gotten some calls from the
[1:30:52]
neighbors asking about that. I'm I'm
[1:30:54]
glad you raised that question. All
[1:30:56]
right. Um, this has been going on for a
[1:31:00]
number of years with with that home. Um,
[1:31:05]
about 60 days or so ago,
[1:31:09]
they got another letter uh advising them
[1:31:13]
to clean the property up. They haven't t
[1:31:16]
make made any effort to do that. Uh,
[1:31:20]
starting around 30 days ago, it was a
[1:31:23]
deadline given to them and for that from
[1:31:26]
that point they are incurring $500 a day
[1:31:32]
in
[1:31:34]
fines.
[1:31:34]
>> Have you put a lean though?
[1:31:37]
>> Okay.
[1:31:37]
>> I'm not through yet.
[1:31:39]
>> So when did the $500 a day start?
[1:31:42]
>> That's it started about a little more
[1:31:45]
than 30 days ago.
[1:31:47]
>> So about the beginning of July.
[1:31:50]
>> Yeah. Okay. And it's a $100 a day for
[1:31:55]
each violation. So I took and showed
[1:31:59]
there was five different violations of
[1:32:01]
our code.
[1:32:02]
>> So those $500 accumulate then and that's
[1:32:07]
a daily fine that they're incurring. So
[1:32:10]
the first I let it go for 30 days and
[1:32:13]
then we took and filed a notice of lean
[1:32:17]
with the county
[1:32:19]
uh to inform them and it's recorded
[1:32:21]
against that property and I sent a copy
[1:32:24]
to them as well. Now we'll wait another
[1:32:29]
30 days and we'll add to that then the
[1:32:32]
continued $500 a day fine.
[1:32:36]
So right now I think it was around
[1:32:39]
$13,000
[1:32:41]
something like that for for fine for
[1:32:44]
these and they I'm a little surprised
[1:32:47]
they haven't talked to me about that. We
[1:32:49]
we've had we have pretty good open
[1:32:52]
communication with things. Um but I if
[1:32:56]
they clear one thing up then it'll be
[1:32:59]
$100 a day less
[1:33:01]
>> and as time goes on but they're still
[1:33:04]
obligated for what they recruit up to
[1:33:07]
that point. And if they sell it, it has
[1:33:09]
to be paid through the sale.
[1:33:10]
>> Yeah.
[1:33:11]
>> Yes. It's collected at that time.
[1:33:13]
>> And if it's if it hasn't been rectified,
[1:33:16]
but they've had those things, then it's
[1:33:19]
still on the
[1:33:20]
>> I mean, how do the new owners know that
[1:33:23]
that's not acceptable that
[1:33:24]
>> title company should pick that up?
[1:33:26]
>> Okay. So, it would be
[1:33:28]
>> that's what I just said. Due
[1:33:30]
>> title company does a search, they'll
[1:33:32]
find it. They call the city, they get a
[1:33:33]
payoff. Well, well then, so that that
[1:33:37]
any violations that required actual work
[1:33:39]
to be done, does the seller or the buyer
[1:33:43]
have to absorb that cost?
[1:33:45]
>> Seller.
[1:33:47]
>> Yes.
[1:33:48]
>> Or however they work it out. I mean,
[1:33:50]
they it's the contract.
[1:33:51]
>> Yeah.
[1:33:52]
They have to disclose it.
[1:33:54]
>> I mean, can I ask you a question about
[1:33:56]
it?
[1:33:56]
>> Sure.
[1:33:56]
>> I I'm not familiar with the property. Is
[1:33:58]
this a an unwilling or an unable?
[1:34:01]
>> Unwilling.
[1:34:02]
>> Okay.
[1:34:03]
might be our people.
[1:34:06]
>> Because they choose
[1:34:07]
>> they choose to be.
[1:34:08]
>> Well, sure. I I just mean is it is it a
[1:34:11]
resource problem? Like is it is it
[1:34:13]
something our neighbors need help with
[1:34:15]
or is it a we're just giving the bird to
[1:34:19]
the system?
[1:34:20]
>> Yeah. Uh it's a
[1:34:23]
>> I'd be happy to talk with you more.
[1:34:27]
>> Yeah. Yeah. There's never been they've
[1:34:30]
never said we just can't do it.
[1:34:33]
>> Yeah.
[1:34:34]
>> So there's there's some false starts
[1:34:38]
that they've had in some of this.
[1:34:42]
» Definitely impacted the neighborhood.
[1:34:44]
>> Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
[1:34:48]
>> Probably move because
[1:34:52]
>> Yeah.
[1:34:55]
» answer your question.
[1:34:56]
>> Yeah. That's just one I wanted to know
[1:34:58]
just to be sure that we
[1:35:00]
>> that that's there's three ways of
[1:35:02]
addressing it. That's the least
[1:35:06]
intrusive and the easiest way for the
[1:35:08]
city to address it. We can get an
[1:35:10]
attorney involved and take them to court
[1:35:12]
if you wanted to, but now we're paying
[1:35:15]
attorney and and whatnot to do that sort
[1:35:18]
of thing. So
[1:35:19]
>> So there's incentive for them to sell
[1:35:21]
faster. When when a house is for sale,
[1:35:23]
that's the best. That is your absolute
[1:35:26]
best option.
[1:35:27]
>> 100%.
[1:35:29]
>> I've done it on radio homes.
[1:35:33]
>> You actually get paid.
[1:35:37]
» Very good. Thank you. Thank you.
[1:35:41]
>> Okay. Um nothing from emergency
[1:35:44]
management.
[1:35:45]
Uh Dorl, I see you are online.
[1:35:50]
Hi everybody.
[1:35:52]
I uh just want to say can you hear me?
[1:35:55]
>> Yes sir.
[1:35:56]
>> I just want to appreciate the work
[1:35:59]
you've done this evening. Uh appreciate
[1:36:03]
all of your service to the city, each of
[1:36:05]
you. Um I was really impressed this
[1:36:09]
evening with your intelligence of
[1:36:12]
choosing a Chevy over a Ford. So uh
[1:36:19]
No,
[1:36:20]
>> it ain't done yet, buddy.
[1:36:22]
>> No, with that,
[1:36:23]
>> Dorl, you're talking about 911 dispatch,
[1:36:26]
please.
[1:36:28]
>> Stay in your lane.
[1:36:31]
>> It's time. It's time for me to be quiet
[1:36:33]
now. Thank you.
[1:36:35]
>> Thank you, Dorl.
[1:36:37]
>> Okay. Uh we'll move on to uh the mayor
[1:36:40]
and council reports. Uh Mag and Cog for
[1:36:44]
me. I've got that meeting on Thursday,
[1:36:46]
so nothing to report now. Um, we've also
[1:36:49]
had holiday breaks um for those
[1:36:51]
meetings. Uh, I had my board meeting for
[1:36:54]
SCSD this morning. Um,
[1:36:57]
there's a number of things going on, but
[1:36:59]
I don't think there's anything that's
[1:37:00]
really drastically affecting um the
[1:37:03]
city. Uh, though we had a fabulous month
[1:37:07]
last month with uh SCSD. The electric
[1:37:12]
came in at like Usually we're paying
[1:37:15]
around 10 to 15 cents per kilowatt. Um
[1:37:20]
and we were down to like seven. Um which
[1:37:23]
really helps. So Jody, when we get the
[1:37:25]
bill for the water pump, there won't be
[1:37:28]
the AP whatever e on it. So that will
[1:37:32]
help also with city costs and in that
[1:37:35]
front. So,
[1:37:37]
uh, the dry tree trans the dry creek
[1:37:40]
transfer station also, um, nothing
[1:37:42]
really to report there beyond the fact
[1:37:45]
that we did get the full fire report in
[1:37:47]
my last board meeting there.
[1:37:49]
>> Um, and it's
[1:37:53]
phenomenal. They've got some sprinkler
[1:37:55]
heads that they have to replace because
[1:37:57]
they went off. Um, they're a one use
[1:38:00]
item. Um, and we had literally probably
[1:38:04]
a hole about this big melted in the
[1:38:06]
peret.
[1:38:08]
>> And then we had a few windows that
[1:38:10]
melted, but we've got a that's our
[1:38:12]
biggest cost is we had a defective
[1:38:15]
>> uh windows issue,
[1:38:16]
>> the skylights.
[1:38:18]
>> That's got to be a big cost to figure
[1:38:20]
that out with
[1:38:20]
>> and that will but that we only had one
[1:38:23]
damage by the fire.
[1:38:25]
>> Yeah, but it showed it showed a defect
[1:38:28]
and that's what we're going to have to
[1:38:30]
deal. That's not a a fire problem. It
[1:38:33]
was just given to us. We learned about
[1:38:36]
it because of the fire. Uh personnel. Um
[1:38:39]
I wanted to let you guys know that uh
[1:38:42]
myself, Jody, Lori, and Charlene will be
[1:38:45]
having a meeting on the 25th here. Um
[1:38:48]
where we are going to be going through
[1:38:51]
all things finance. um every single type
[1:38:54]
of transaction that we go through, what
[1:38:56]
is our procedures, policies, checks and
[1:38:59]
balances, every single thing. We're
[1:39:01]
going to be writing SOPs on every single
[1:39:03]
thing. Um
[1:39:05]
and so we're Jod I know is really
[1:39:08]
excited for an all day meeting. Um but
[1:39:11]
that is going to be a fabulous one um
[1:39:14]
from a personnel standpoint. uh we will
[1:39:17]
then report all of that to you guys so
[1:39:20]
that you guys can see that work um and
[1:39:22]
understand that and we'll get you a
[1:39:23]
policies and procedures document as a
[1:39:26]
deliverable meeting
[1:39:27]
>> as as you're doing that I would like to
[1:39:30]
you know and I brought it up before I'd
[1:39:31]
like to see um
[1:39:35]
if it's possible like to see more
[1:39:37]
clarity and I would be willing to
[1:39:41]
um
[1:39:43]
entertain more help for the staff in
[1:39:47]
here to give us that clarity. Um, if
[1:39:51]
that would help so that we can list, you
[1:39:55]
know, when I talked about credit card
[1:39:56]
expenses and things like that, I get
[1:39:58]
that our staff is is really really full,
[1:40:02]
especially with with the changes that
[1:40:05]
you've made. Um, and and if it's time to
[1:40:08]
bring on another part-time person, um,
[1:40:11]
whatever it is, I'd like to see, you
[1:40:13]
know, Jod's been great
[1:40:17]
>> because at any time you can come in.
[1:40:19]
>> I I know I know I can, but I'd like to I with with my current job, I'm I'm not
[1:40:27]
here a lot.
[1:40:29]
>> Scan all those in with the receipts. So,
[1:40:31]
that would just be a request to Lori.
[1:40:36]
Okay. And and if that's if that's what
[1:40:37]
we we do, you know, just so we can look
[1:40:39]
at I know you're planning to get us to,
[1:40:42]
you know, our our individual where we're
[1:40:44]
all digging in a little bit deeper in in
[1:40:46]
certain areas. Um but I would be willing
[1:40:50]
to, you know,
[1:40:54]
to take some of the load off if if
[1:40:57]
possible because I hate making requests
[1:40:59]
to you guys because I know you're busy.
[1:41:01]
I know I still do, but
[1:41:03]
>> your job is to make those requests.
[1:41:06]
>> I know. I know that
[1:41:07]
>> their job is to respond. So, it was kind
[1:41:10]
of like we had an email with our
[1:41:11]
attorney today, right? And you know,
[1:41:13]
Jody was being kind and apologized that
[1:41:15]
he had, you know, look at something else
[1:41:17]
and his response was the same I'll give
[1:41:19]
to you. You know, this is my job. You
[1:41:22]
don't need to apologize. I
[1:41:24]
>> I get it, but I also don't want to
[1:41:26]
overwhelm unnecessarily.
[1:41:28]
>> If you do, I will let you know. And
[1:41:30]
that's what I'm I'm saying is I I for
[1:41:33]
one would be willing to entertain
[1:41:36]
additional help because I know that when
[1:41:37]
I come in here they're busy and and I
[1:41:39]
know I take up a lot of time and I'm
[1:41:42]
guessing everybody does the same thing
[1:41:44]
and
[1:41:45]
>> no it's just you.
[1:41:46]
>> It's just me.
[1:41:48]
>> It's just you.
[1:41:50]
>> So no noted. So that's I I do you know
[1:41:54]
as you're as you guys are talking and as
[1:41:56]
you're digging into SOPs and stuff like
[1:41:58]
that if it becomes overwhelming I'd be I
[1:42:01]
as as on as a council member would be
[1:42:04]
willing to entertain more help in the
[1:42:08]
city
[1:42:09]
if if needed. I that's what I'm that's
[1:42:11]
what I'm trying to say here. If it's
[1:42:12]
needed
[1:42:14]
>> and I think right now actually our
[1:42:15]
workload
[1:42:17]
balance is pretty darn good. Um, and as
[1:42:19]
we get Charlene more integrated, um,
[1:42:23]
we're going to pull a little bit more
[1:42:24]
off of, for instance, Lori, um, and put
[1:42:27]
it on Charlene. Uh, so we'll be able to
[1:42:30]
figure all that out. So, I'm currently
[1:42:32]
in the process of working on everybody's
[1:42:35]
loads and making sure they're they're
[1:42:38]
leveled as much.
[1:42:39]
>> And that's that's kind of what I'm
[1:42:40]
saying is
[1:42:41]
>> I don't do that. I just I'm I'm willing to look at
[1:42:47]
whatever needs to be done to make sure
[1:42:48]
the city runs as well as we can.
[1:42:50]
>> Of course. Yep. And as we get to those
[1:42:52]
needs, if I know your guys' skill sets,
[1:42:55]
I'll I'll pull on this for sure. Thank
[1:42:57]
you. Um as for legal, no update there.
[1:43:00]
So, Council Member Hutchings, Water.
[1:43:02]
>> So, uh we did not meet with Mount Nebo
[1:43:05]
and they had actually canceled Zumba,
[1:43:07]
but they decided there was things that
[1:43:09]
we actually had to get through. So they put a a virtual meeting together.
[1:43:14]
Um and just for everybody's
[1:43:17]
thought, we we they voted on our our
[1:43:21]
contributions to SUVA. Um basically
[1:43:23]
we're if I remember right, I was going
[1:43:25]
to bring it, but didn't have time to go
[1:43:27]
home. Um I believe we're about 1.25%.
[1:43:30]
Um and we've stayed there. It's it's
[1:43:32]
exactly the same that it was last year.
[1:43:34]
I checked that. Um, but they're looking
[1:43:38]
and and we've talked about it before,
[1:43:40]
but now it's getting a little bit more
[1:43:42]
serious um at dissolving SUMA
[1:43:48]
um and rolling those possibly rolling
[1:43:52]
this the stuff that Suma does into Mount
[1:43:55]
Nebo and Central.
[1:43:57]
There are a few
[1:43:59]
things that they have to look at. So,
[1:44:01]
they're going to be relying on the
[1:44:02]
technical committee, which Ted is on
[1:44:03]
that technical committee. Um, so they're
[1:44:05]
going to be pulling that in our next
[1:44:07]
meeting and and officially setting that
[1:44:09]
up to to have the technical committee
[1:44:11]
start working on can we still cover
[1:44:15]
everything in Sumba
[1:44:18]
through Mount Nebo. Um, and the the
[1:44:22]
outlier is Springville. Springville is
[1:44:24]
not in Mount Nebo. Um and then there are
[1:44:27]
some you know selling of water is one of
[1:44:30]
the reasons we we've got suma is selling
[1:44:32]
those water shares to each other
[1:44:35]
basically trading not making money on
[1:44:36]
them. Nobody's making money on them but
[1:44:38]
being able to to do that and we needed a
[1:44:41]
legal way to do that and central is
[1:44:42]
happy to help work with us on that is
[1:44:45]
one of the things that we talked about.
[1:44:46]
Um also I I've given Charlene's
[1:44:50]
information to them. They're they're
[1:44:54]
now getting through the year end stuff
[1:44:57]
and they're looking to to take that load
[1:44:59]
off of off of uh Sanquin who who helped
[1:45:02]
us out.
[1:45:03]
>> Um so uh I' I've given her information
[1:45:07]
and and Spanish force given some
[1:45:08]
information as well on we're we're
[1:45:12]
looking for a new new person to take
[1:45:14]
over finance because our current one is
[1:45:16]
retired and and we have to have to get
[1:45:20]
something new. So I told them and they
[1:45:21]
were interested with Charlene.
[1:45:23]
Charlene's interested. I've spoken with
[1:45:24]
her. So those are my updates. Oh,
[1:45:27]
planning commission. We've got a meeting
[1:45:29]
coming up. I think I missed our last
[1:45:32]
meeting. Um but uh I don't I don't have
[1:45:37]
anything beyond what what Wayne has
[1:45:43]
» um associations.
[1:45:46]
Okay. So I'm going to these every couple
[1:45:48]
of weeks.
[1:45:50]
What does the council, what does the
[1:45:52]
public care to hear? Like
[1:45:54]
>> any shifts or changes or concerns that
[1:45:57]
they're having for relationships with
[1:45:59]
cities? Um, anything like that is kind
[1:46:03]
of my thought on
[1:46:04]
>> trends that would affect this.
[1:46:07]
>> Yeah. Housing shortages, trying to get
[1:46:10]
more state versus city control. That's
[1:46:12]
kind of what the the push is for
[1:46:15]
constantly. So are they so these two
[1:46:19]
organizations are pushing they're one of
[1:46:22]
the big ones pushing for the state to
[1:46:25]
>> zoning
[1:46:25]
>> take everything away from us correct
[1:46:28]
>> and are you to sit there and push
[1:46:30]
against them
[1:46:33]
both sides fully that way but it's it's
[1:46:36]
more committee meetings I I serve on the
[1:46:38]
government affairs side which is totally
[1:46:40]
appropriate so um Salem actually has
[1:46:44]
representation there vineyard
[1:46:46]
Um so yeah there are a lot of cities
[1:46:48]
that are there saying hey this is what
[1:46:50]
we can do. What I feel there's more an
[1:46:53]
air of during those is uh collaboration
[1:46:55]
and hey this is why we do what we do.
[1:46:58]
This is what our threats are and so we
[1:47:00]
kind of come to the point during those
[1:47:02]
meetings of hey this isn't a problem we
[1:47:06]
need to worry about putting our time
[1:47:08]
into.
[1:47:09]
>> If you ever perceive or hear anything
[1:47:11]
there you're like that's a really good
[1:47:12]
idea and it's different than what we're
[1:47:14]
doing.
[1:47:15]
let us know. And that can be, you know,
[1:47:17]
on the staff side or that can be in this
[1:47:20]
meeting, whichever works.
[1:47:21]
>> It's kind of similar what Carrie does
[1:47:23]
with the legislator. She keeps an eye on
[1:47:25]
things and whispers ideas in people's
[1:47:27]
ears and tries to get things started
[1:47:29]
when
[1:47:30]
>> Yeah.
[1:47:30]
>> to protect small communities.
[1:47:33]
>> Yeah. No, that makes sense. So, I'll
[1:47:35]
report accordingly, but but nothing meaningful. I mean, I think the
[1:47:39]
biggest topics of all continue to be
[1:47:41]
housing shortages and affordability and
[1:47:45]
so there's just a lot of pushes from
[1:47:47]
every angle to get um more housing and
[1:47:50]
more affordable housing.
[1:47:51]
>> Are they pushing then for higher
[1:47:53]
density? You say affordable.
[1:47:55]
>> Yeah.
[1:47:56]
>> Uh yeah, I mean that that's definitely one of the pieces
[1:47:59]
because if you look at development land
[1:48:02]
is by by far the largest percent cost of
[1:48:08]
So,
[1:48:09]
of a new home. Um, and land sellers are
[1:48:14]
getting what they want out of it. They
[1:48:15]
can still keep doing it. But, uh, I I
[1:48:18]
think that, you know, there are a couple
[1:48:20]
cities where permit fees, impact fees,
[1:48:23]
those are all being evaluated constantly
[1:48:25]
by the state, which is which is good
[1:48:27]
because there are some cities
[1:48:28]
>> you have to go through that. And that's
[1:48:30]
when a lot of times builders will say,
[1:48:31]
"Well, this city has such high impact
[1:48:33]
fees, but by law, we have to go through
[1:48:35]
that process and we can't charge more
[1:48:37]
than than um we need." And so although
[1:48:42]
it it's different for each city, it does
[1:48:44]
go through the process. One of the
[1:48:46]
things that I think is interesting is
[1:48:48]
that they say they want um that there's
[1:48:51]
a housing shortage and they want more
[1:48:52]
affordable housing, but they're not
[1:48:54]
building that.
[1:48:55]
>> That's not what they're building, no
[1:48:55]
matter what the lot size is. the um a
[1:48:58]
study just came out. Utah has the second
[1:49:01]
um largest homes in the nation.
[1:49:04]
Wyoming's first and we're second. And
[1:49:06]
so, um, is there really a demand for
[1:49:09]
that or is it just that, oh, we want the
[1:49:13]
high density or we want these large
[1:49:15]
homes and there's no middle ground. That
[1:49:17]
missing middle is what really what we
[1:49:19]
talk about a lot at the league meetings
[1:49:22]
and um if are are developers willing to
[1:49:25]
look at that missing middle?
[1:49:28]
>> Yeah. Yeah. Developers absolutely are.
[1:49:30]
In fact, as a developer, I prefer
[1:49:33]
the more affordable. I prefer smaller,
[1:49:35]
more volume because that's it's it's the
[1:49:38]
Walmart philosophy. I want to build more
[1:49:41]
um less cost rather than huge. Now there
[1:49:44]
are the customs that want to do the big
[1:49:46]
huge stuff, but most of the production
[1:49:49]
builders, the Dr. Horts, the Lenards,
[1:49:51]
the David Weeklys, um those are all
[1:49:54]
looking at the same format. If they can
[1:49:56]
get density, they will take that all day
[1:49:58]
long. That density is what provides them
[1:50:00]
the affordability. Because again, if I
[1:50:03]
buy um an acre for 500,000
[1:50:07]
and I can only put two houses on that,
[1:50:10]
then it's a very different cost analysis
[1:50:13]
than if I can put six to eight on it,
[1:50:15]
same acre, right? And so I can't absorb
[1:50:18]
that same 500,000 across six to eight,
[1:50:21]
I'm now absorbing that across
[1:50:23]
>> one or two.
[1:50:24]
>> So, so, so there's two sides of it. And I understand that a lot of that
[1:50:28]
comes from, hey, we we want to protect
[1:50:31]
our density. We want to protect our open
[1:50:32]
space. It's how do we do that
[1:50:34]
strategically? And we're going to be
[1:50:36]
having a lot of those discussions as
[1:50:38]
more and more eyeballs hit this
[1:50:40]
flatlands down at the the base where
[1:50:42]
we're going to have to be ready to say,
[1:50:44]
"No, this isn't functional for our
[1:50:46]
city."
[1:50:46]
>> And that's one thing that I hear from
[1:50:47]
legislators. Oh, you're from Woodland
[1:50:49]
Hills. um you're not even trying to help
[1:50:52]
with this problem because your zoning
[1:50:55]
remains large lots and that's one of the
[1:50:58]
things that then the developers will
[1:51:00]
keep pushing for statewide zoning so
[1:51:03]
that we would have no control over what
[1:51:05]
our lot sizes are.
[1:51:06]
>> Guess we better get them all built first
[1:51:08]
and then
[1:51:10]
>> out of room.
[1:51:11]
>> Yeah. Out of land.
[1:51:12]
>> Out of land. Well, even if they did
[1:51:14]
that, if somebody has has an acre and
[1:51:17]
they've built on one side of their acre,
[1:51:19]
then they would be able to subdivide and
[1:51:21]
build on the other half with this new
[1:51:23]
law if it came to be. So,
[1:51:26]
>> a lot more subdivisions,
[1:51:27]
>> everybody in the middle.
[1:51:28]
>> Yeah. Yeah. And and so it's a balance,
[1:51:31]
but it's a constant conversation. And
[1:51:33]
so, again, we we just want to be
[1:51:35]
prepared because if we know what we're
[1:51:37]
up against, we'll be able to prepare
[1:51:38]
what's best for the city. If we're not,
[1:51:40]
we're going to get blindsided by
[1:51:41]
somebody sneaks in and tells us what
[1:51:44]
today or
[1:51:45]
>> Yeah.
[1:51:47]
>> Okay. Thank you. Uh council.
[1:51:50]
>> Um I haven't met with the finance
[1:51:53]
committee or PTR, so I don't have
[1:51:56]
anything there. Uh just events. Um we
[1:52:00]
got Woodland Hills Days coming up. It's
[1:52:02]
always something. I think we're doing
[1:52:04]
pretty good. There's a lot of us, so
[1:52:06]
it's really nice. Um Dan and I are
[1:52:10]
working on that together. And then we
[1:52:13]
have four committee chair people that
[1:52:16]
are splitting it and then they all have
[1:52:18]
their people that are helping with
[1:52:20]
everything. So I think it's good.
[1:52:22]
>> It's nice to see that there's more
[1:52:24]
people involved.
[1:52:25]
>> Yeah.
[1:52:25]
And I um Tim and Hillary, you
[1:52:29]
know, Hillary's trying to level a few
[1:52:31]
things up and make it nicer and she's
[1:52:33]
kind of taking taking it by the horns,
[1:52:36]
so to speak, and I like that. And um and
[1:52:39]
so yeah, it's good. Um, we had an idea
[1:52:42]
presented and I texted it around and I'm
[1:52:46]
going to bring it up here because I want
[1:52:48]
Brian to have
[1:52:49]
>> kill me.
[1:52:50]
>> I haven't told anybody yet. I was
[1:52:52]
asking.
[1:52:53]
>> Well, there was an idea and the the
[1:52:56]
problem with the idea was the in the
[1:52:59]
drought year people are worried about
[1:53:00]
the water usage and how that would
[1:53:02]
appear.
[1:53:05]
So, there were some alternative ideas
[1:53:07]
presented.
[1:53:08]
>> Okay.
[1:53:09]
um that we could talk about, but um
[1:53:12]
yeah,
[1:53:14]
it the thought was maybe a rubber ducky
[1:53:16]
derby of some description, which would
[1:53:18]
be so fun.
[1:53:19]
>> Salem does something like that.
[1:53:21]
>> Yeah, but Salem's got
[1:53:22]
>> the bond.
[1:53:23]
>> I I get all of it. I saw something
[1:53:27]
>> so freaking
[1:53:30]
>> I saw something that was I thought was a good something we could do.
[1:53:37]
>> But if people are are against it, then
[1:53:40]
>> they're not against it. They're just
[1:53:41]
worried about how it would look during a
[1:53:44]
high drought water shortage year. There
[1:53:48]
was there was
[1:53:49]
>> it's not a massive amount of water. I
[1:53:50]
mean, we're a few hundred gallons.
[1:53:53]
>> I know. Um, somebody suggested maybe uh
[1:53:57]
like a a bouncy ball one though, like
[1:54:00]
with bouncy balls.
[1:54:01]
>> I mean, anything anything works. I just
[1:54:02]
saw like, hey, we can actually do that.
[1:54:05]
Everybody does those around here.
[1:54:09]
» No to fire hose. Just dump water out of
[1:54:12]
it back.
[1:54:14]
>> You set them all up and then you dump
[1:54:15]
them
[1:54:16]
>> and then you set it out and see
[1:54:18]
>> have a water. It would be so fun. I
[1:54:20]
think it would be really fun. Um, and
[1:54:21]
the thought and I it was my thought that
[1:54:23]
maybe that could be like a fundraiser or
[1:54:25]
something for the fire department. Uh,
[1:54:28]
but
[1:54:29]
maybe not this year, but I I think it
[1:54:33]
could be a good idea for next year if
[1:54:34]
it's if we have a little more water. Um,
[1:54:37]
and I yeah, I don't really have any
[1:54:39]
concerns there. Um, we do need to get
[1:54:41]
some more advertising going. I think
[1:54:44]
we're all feeling a little stretched,
[1:54:45]
but
[1:54:46]
>> but we're still getting it all done.
[1:54:48]
>> So, advertisements. All advertisements
[1:54:51]
going forward are going to be specific
[1:54:52]
to specific elements of it. So, we'll
[1:54:55]
have something specific for car shows,
[1:54:56]
something specific for rather than just
[1:54:58]
generic over and over and over. Uh we do
[1:55:01]
want to draw focus towards specific
[1:55:02]
things that we do up there that might
[1:55:04]
draw maybe somebody will come up
[1:55:06]
specifically for the the marketplace
[1:55:09]
like you know the craft shop stuff. Some
[1:55:11]
might come up specifically for the uh
[1:55:13]
the car show. just something to
[1:55:17]
hopefully draw just enough interest from
[1:55:19]
somebody to come up and then experience
[1:55:20]
everything else. So, I think that would
[1:55:21]
be ideal. Um, and we don't want to
[1:55:24]
overburden the city pages, but it's our
[1:55:28]
big event, so you're going to probably
[1:55:29]
as we roll up to it, it'll get more and
[1:55:31]
more.
[1:55:32]
>> Um, let's hit it hard.
[1:55:33]
>> Yeah. The the one the one thing that I
[1:55:36]
think we should probably bring up at
[1:55:37]
some point, we've been a small
[1:55:38]
community, still are a very small
[1:55:40]
community, and we've always offered the
[1:55:41]
hot dogs for free. We're starting to see
[1:55:44]
in some of our events more and more uh
[1:55:46]
people are bringing up their families
[1:55:49]
and their grandkids and you know it's be the family of seven that used to
[1:55:53]
come or the family of six that used to
[1:55:54]
come is now larger. Um Hillary
[1:55:58]
specifically is trying to get um more
[1:56:01]
marketplace people to bring up and
[1:56:02]
hopefully draw additional nonwen Hills
[1:56:06]
residents to the Wen Hills event. Um, at
[1:56:09]
some point I think we're gonna have to
[1:56:10]
look at whether we're going to continue
[1:56:12]
to offer free dinner.
[1:56:13]
>> We started charging last year,
[1:56:14]
>> right? But I I'm not sure how we're
[1:56:16]
executing.
[1:56:17]
>> It was by um
[1:56:18]
>> donation.
[1:56:19]
>> It was honor on your
[1:56:20]
>> honor system. Okay. I had my sister and
[1:56:23]
I paid for her.
[1:56:24]
>> Wait, what did we charge? Five bucks.
[1:56:26]
>> Five bucks a meal.
[1:56:27]
>> All right.
[1:56:27]
>> And I thought it worked
[1:56:28]
>> out. Okay.
[1:56:29]
>> I thought it worked good. We raised I
[1:56:31]
mean we didn't raise a ton, but we
[1:56:32]
raised I want to say three or $400.
[1:56:35]
>> It was just Venmo, right? Or who was it?
[1:56:37]
Venmo and I had a sign and I could we
[1:56:39]
could make a we could make a better sign
[1:56:41]
so that it's a little more prominent
[1:56:42]
because it was just in one of those
[1:56:44]
paper
[1:56:45]
>> right
[1:56:46]
>> I was thinking also put it because the
[1:56:47]
line gets really long maybe put it at
[1:56:49]
the back so people when they first get
[1:56:51]
in line they can just scan it right then
[1:56:53]
instead of waiting till
[1:56:54]
>> or have it two or three times.
[1:56:55]
>> Yeah instead of just waiting at the end.
[1:56:58]
>> Yeah. So anyway, I was just thinking
[1:56:59]
about that. I mean I I don't really care
[1:57:01]
about it being a money razor. I just
[1:57:03]
want to make sure that as as we start to
[1:57:04]
get more demand that
[1:57:06]
>> that they're that we're not
[1:57:07]
>> it's not a burden.
[1:57:08]
>> Yeah. Well, we're not just feeding a
[1:57:09]
bunch of randos who come up for free
[1:57:11]
dinner and don't really want to
[1:57:12]
participate in the city. They're just
[1:57:13]
looking for a free dinner.
[1:57:15]
>> Um
[1:57:15]
>> especially Jay dogs.
[1:57:17]
>> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
[1:57:18]
>> J, right?
[1:57:18]
>> But you know, so anyway, just just food
[1:57:21]
for thought um of how to execute
[1:57:23]
something like that a little bit. Um, so
[1:57:26]
>> I have one other thing just um where if
[1:57:29]
we're going to do the pavers and want
[1:57:30]
maybe want people to sign up and have a
[1:57:32]
booth at Woodland Hills Days, maybe we
[1:57:34]
could have more at the booth like maybe
[1:57:36]
it could be I was thinking maybe kind of
[1:57:38]
a city booth where you could have that
[1:57:41]
but maybe have some other things like
[1:57:43]
maybe just some information about what's
[1:57:45]
going on in the community because people
[1:57:46]
always say they don't know what's going
[1:57:48]
on and maybe the mayor could be at or
[1:57:52]
around the booth to answer questions.
[1:57:54]
if people question
[1:57:56]
>> a mayor dump tank ask a question throw a
[1:57:58]
ball
[1:58:00]
>> I'm just saying
[1:58:01]
>> be a good idea
[1:58:02]
>> maybe just to have
[1:58:04]
>> 100 degrees I'm
[1:58:05]
>> just to maybe just to give people the
[1:58:07]
opportunity to find out oh you know we
[1:58:10]
have all these things we have a
[1:58:11]
newsletter and we have the messages that
[1:58:14]
go out and we have all the things and
[1:58:16]
still people say they don't know what's
[1:58:17]
going on
[1:58:18]
>> yeah have a have a QR code that goes to
[1:58:21]
the city web page in the community web
[1:58:24]
page,
[1:58:24]
>> some kind of like littleformational
[1:58:26]
booth, but then also have the papers for
[1:58:28]
the
[1:58:29]
>> I just thought maybe a city booth would
[1:58:31]
be a good idea.
[1:58:31]
>> It's not a bad idea.
[1:58:33]
>> I love the idea of getting people over
[1:58:35]
there
[1:58:36]
>> by having the dunk take for the mayor
[1:58:38]
would be excit
[1:58:42]
» we're just going to have one person in
[1:58:43]
there.
[1:58:44]
>> You have to ask a question to
[1:58:46]
>> You have to ask a question and then you
[1:58:47]
get to have a throw.
[1:58:50]
No, no, no.
[1:58:53]
>> I'll be busy cooking Jay Dos.
[1:58:55]
>> Um,
[1:58:58]
>> standing behind him watching him doing,
[1:58:59]
"Hey, are you guys doing good?" I do, I
[1:59:01]
do have one thing to bring up u that I
[1:59:03]
don't know if just you and I, but um
[1:59:05]
it's the is it the United Way uh like
[1:59:09]
the week of service day of service this
[1:59:11]
week
[1:59:11]
>> on the on September 10th.
[1:59:13]
>> On the 10th. Okay. So, I think it's like
[1:59:15]
the eth 10th or whatever. Thursday.
[1:59:16]
>> Yeah. It's always the day before. So, um
[1:59:19]
>> I did have a youth group ask if the city
[1:59:23]
needed help to prepare the park for
[1:59:24]
Woodland Hills stays as part of that
[1:59:26]
service.
[1:59:26]
>> Absolutely.
[1:59:27]
>> Trimming and weeding and whatever else
[1:59:29]
for the city.
[1:59:30]
>> I know planning on doing something.
[1:59:33]
>> Um I know our ward is trying to figure
[1:59:36]
out something. So,
[1:59:39]
>> let's try and get that coordinated. So,
[1:59:41]
if you could send all of those because
[1:59:45]
Ted has nothing to do.
[1:59:46]
>> Yes.
[1:59:47]
>> Send those to Ted and he
[1:59:51]
>> the day of service.
[1:59:52]
>> Day of service. We just have a lot of
[1:59:53]
youth in the in the area needing a
[1:59:56]
something for service and I thought they
[1:59:57]
might be able to help at the park
[2:00:00]
weeding
[2:00:02]
>> I've had to reach out as well.
[2:00:04]
>> I feel like we have somebody up there
[2:00:06]
doing that every year.
[2:00:08]
I had a call from
[2:00:10]
>> Yeah.
[2:00:11]
>> asking about some ideas.
[2:00:13]
>> I I gave him a bunch of ideas and then
[2:00:15]
referred him to Janet
[2:00:18]
>> Sheriff
[2:00:19]
>> to maybe talk to Park.
[2:00:22]
>> Maybe
[2:00:23]
>> we try and coordinate.
[2:00:26]
>> I think Well, I think they're all
[2:00:28]
looking for for it. So, we might as well
[2:00:29]
just get
[2:00:30]
>> Let's get 80 kids up there and they'll
[2:00:32]
make quick. Is that something we could I
[2:00:34]
think we asked we had parks and recck do
[2:00:36]
that before and kind of help coordinate
[2:00:38]
that. Was that
[2:00:40]
>> I think there's lots of good I think
[2:00:41]
there's lots of stuff we could
[2:00:44]
>> I helped coordinate.
[2:00:45]
>> What about at the beginning of the city
[2:00:47]
too like at the mailboxes in that area
[2:00:49]
because we're not in construction but
[2:00:51]
that might be a good place to clean up
[2:00:53]
for too for when people
[2:00:54]
>> delegate when they're never in the city.
[2:00:58]
And then mayor, just real quickly, um,
[2:01:00]
for Woodland Hills Days, are we going to
[2:01:01]
be able to have the flags available? All
[2:01:04]
the flags that we've put up on.
[2:01:06]
>> All right. I'm gonna I've got something
[2:01:08]
working with the flag ceremony that I
[2:01:11]
would like to maybe
[2:01:13]
>> um it also
[2:01:16]
>> help me think, but it is the the 25th
[2:01:19]
anniversary of September 11th.
[2:01:22]
>> Uh, it might be
[2:01:24]
>> we have America 250. We have the 25th
[2:01:27]
anniversary of 911. We have your
[2:01:30]
birthday. So, we could have a lot of
[2:01:31]
celebrations going on at the same time.
[2:01:34]
>> I got a birthday this year, too.
[2:01:35]
>> Yeah, exactly.
[2:01:36]
>> I just had one.
[2:01:39]
>> Yeah.
[2:01:40]
>> Okay. All right.
[2:01:41]
>> Just I'm just saying. So, we should make
[2:01:43]
it special like a moment of silence or
[2:01:45]
something.
[2:01:46]
>> Yeah. Well, the the flag ceremony
[2:01:47]
actually does have something to do with
[2:01:48]
September 11th, even though it'll be on
[2:01:50]
the 12th, but
[2:01:52]
>> we've got we've got something lined up.
[2:01:54]
We hopefully it turns out we're waiting
[2:01:55]
on two musicians to commit. It could be
[2:01:58]
kind of special.
[2:01:58]
>> Maybe we could do a moment of silence on
[2:02:05]
» moment.
[2:02:06]
>> Yes.
[2:02:06]
>> Um talk about a city booth. How about
[2:02:10]
playing a video in there for people to
[2:02:14]
watch and you could we can count the
[2:02:16]
years that uh we've been in existence
[2:02:20]
and and just make a little comment.
[2:02:23]
celebration there and play that video
[2:02:25]
for those who may not have seen it.
[2:02:27]
>> If the link's still available,
[2:02:29]
>> show the link.
[2:02:30]
>> Yeah, because it's on the city.
[2:02:31]
>> We just get a a star link up there to
[2:02:33]
stream it if we need to for from
[2:02:35]
YouTube. I know.
[2:02:40]
» Um, one other thing too that u you
[2:02:42]
mentioned the time of the city. One of
[2:02:44]
the staff shirt designs I have is the
[2:02:48]
year that city was incorporated and it's
[2:02:50]
kind of got like this cool little design
[2:02:52]
on it. All
[2:02:53]
right.
[2:02:54]
>> One thing at Salem days, um, they all
[2:02:57]
the council and the mayor had matching
[2:03:01]
shirts.
[2:03:01]
>> Yes.
[2:03:02]
>> So, they were easily identifiable.
[2:03:05]
>> Um, I think that
[2:03:06]
>> that be
[2:03:07]
>> extremely helpful for just
[2:03:09]
>> Should that be different than staff the
[2:03:11]
staff shirts of of
[2:03:13]
>> I think so.
[2:03:15]
>> Okay. Because I was I was going to have
[2:03:16]
the staff and like some
[2:03:17]
>> those are for Toby.
[2:03:19]
>> Maybe different
[2:03:20]
>> like a red for staff and then maybe for
[2:03:22]
a council member.
[2:03:23]
>> Theirs were like the freaking American
[2:03:26]
flag. Like they were bright.
[2:03:28]
>> Um t-shirt.
[2:03:30]
>> I was think t-shirt.
[2:03:31]
>> No, they were kind of like a
[2:03:33]
>> like Yeah, I was I think something
[2:03:35]
>> cut like I think Steves with that
[2:03:37]
>> that double
[2:03:39]
>> cuff on. I think that would be nice
[2:03:40]
because like at the America 250 there
[2:03:42]
were people but I didn't know like and I
[2:03:44]
was just talking to them and then they said, "Well, what's your name?" And
[2:03:47]
I told them and they were like, "Oh."
[2:03:49]
Because they didn't know I was city
[2:03:51]
council person.
[2:03:52]
>> I'm just saying it was a little bit like
[2:03:54]
>> other thing too that we we had a quite a
[2:03:56]
few years ago was we had um name badges
[2:03:59]
made that weren't just write your name
[2:04:01]
on a thing, but actually name badges we
[2:04:03]
could wear whenever we were doing public
[2:04:04]
events or going to some of our board
[2:04:06]
meetings or they were magnetic pin these
[2:04:10]
to
[2:04:10]
>> our they were magnetic. Um um and so you
[2:04:14]
could just put them on whatever shirt
[2:04:15]
you were wearing because of the magnet.
[2:04:17]
It wasn't pin on and they were really
[2:04:19]
nice badges and they said council person
[2:04:22]
and it had our logo on it and so we
[2:04:24]
could wear it so people could see our
[2:04:25]
name right when they were talking to us
[2:04:27]
and recognize who we were. So it might
[2:04:29]
be beneficial to get the matching shirt
[2:04:31]
and a new name badge.
[2:04:33]
>> I think that makes a lot of sense. But I
[2:04:35]
do like the magnetic ones because when
[2:04:37]
we're wearing other clothes, you don't
[2:04:39]
always want to put a pin through it.
[2:04:42]
>> Perfect. Okay. Anything else, Janet?
[2:04:44]
>> That's it.
[2:04:45]
>> Okay. Council message.
[2:04:47]
>> My turn. Um, we had our South Alley um
[2:04:51]
animal shelter meeting today. Lots lots
[2:04:54]
went on. Um, I did send a flyer to Janet
[2:04:58]
and Jody about putting um something in
[2:05:01]
the newsletter. They're having a big
[2:05:03]
event on September 24th. Um it always is
[2:05:07]
um a lot of people come can adopt pets,
[2:05:09]
etc. Um the other things that we talked
[2:05:12]
about was um we approved um an agreement
[2:05:17]
with Utah County for legal services.
[2:05:19]
There's been an increase in legal
[2:05:21]
services. Um and so we've done that and that was good. Um, also Spring Lake,
[2:05:28]
as you know, just incorporated um and
[2:05:30]
has a new mayor and council and they've
[2:05:32]
asked to join. So, they're going to be
[2:05:34]
joining soon there. And because of that,
[2:05:37]
then we're going to update the existing
[2:05:40]
interlocal agreements with all the
[2:05:41]
participating partners. Probably won't
[2:05:43]
change much, but since now we have some
[2:05:45]
legal counsel, they can look that over,
[2:05:47]
make sure everything's in compliance
[2:05:48]
with state law, etc. Um,
[2:05:52]
the other thing is, um,
[2:05:56]
got to look through my notes here. Um,
[2:05:58]
we had a 95% save rate for dogs and 87%
[2:06:02]
save rate for cats for the month of
[2:06:04]
July. Um, those that are not saved are
[2:06:08]
mostly those who have been injured or
[2:06:10]
who are really sick. If an animal comes
[2:06:12]
in that is aggressive and is in there
[2:06:14]
because they've been biting people, they
[2:06:17]
can't um, adopt them out. Um and so
[2:06:20]
there are some other issues. Um we're
[2:06:23]
also working on um
[2:06:27]
there's a big issue that's happening
[2:06:29]
right now and it's kind of like the
[2:06:31]
equivalent to human trafficking but with
[2:06:33]
animals from other states that are
[2:06:35]
coming through and Department of
[2:06:37]
Agriculture is supposed to be stopping
[2:06:39]
them at the border and they're supposed
[2:06:41]
to be showing the paperwork that they
[2:06:42]
have their shots and they have
[2:06:43]
everything and and it's good and they
[2:06:45]
can come to our state. The problem is is
[2:06:47]
that we don't know where they go and a
[2:06:50]
lot of them don't stop. And so there was
[2:06:52]
a big influx of of animals that came
[2:06:55]
from Texas after a disaster down there.
[2:06:58]
And it was found that they had screworm
[2:07:00]
and heartworm which are both
[2:07:02]
transferable to humans and to other
[2:07:04]
animals. And so the vets have seen an
[2:07:07]
increase in um in having to euthanize
[2:07:11]
some some pets. We haven't got any stats
[2:07:14]
on if it's been transferred to people
[2:07:16]
yet. Of course, we have medical things
[2:07:18]
that can help us get through them. And
[2:07:20]
the medical community might not even
[2:07:22]
know that it might be because of this.
[2:07:24]
There might there'sn't been a
[2:07:25]
correlation yet, but um there's no
[2:07:28]
accountability right now. And a lot of
[2:07:30]
times um the catch and release, they'll
[2:07:34]
they stay in neuterm but they don't
[2:07:36]
treat their disease. And so they're
[2:07:38]
letting them go into the communities.
[2:07:40]
And so some of our communities around us
[2:07:43]
are noticing an increase in in this um
[2:07:47]
this issue. So we're supposed to notice
[2:07:50]
if any of our residents call and say my
[2:07:53]
dog or my cat's throwing up blood or
[2:07:55]
something like that so that um so that
[2:07:58]
they the shelter is aware of where this
[2:08:01]
might have been spread to. And then um
[2:08:04]
working with department of agriculture
[2:08:07]
to have some accountability there um
[2:08:10]
because it does can affect humans and
[2:08:13]
livestock. So some of the livestock out
[2:08:15]
on the west side has been affected by
[2:08:18]
this. So that's those are the things
[2:08:21]
that we talked about. There was an art
[2:08:23]
there was um something done by Alex
[2:08:26]
Carrero uh a news report about this
[2:08:28]
recently and so it's kind of been more
[2:08:31]
in the news lately but some people just
[2:08:34]
haven't uh noticed but um the animal
[2:08:37]
shelter we're doing some some good
[2:08:39]
things. We're going to also oh one thing
[2:08:41]
I forgot they updated their website and
[2:08:43]
they also have a new license website.
[2:08:46]
So, if you have licensed your animal
[2:08:48]
like you're supposed to and your animal
[2:08:50]
is lost, in addition to our Woodland
[2:08:52]
Hills page where you can put your
[2:08:54]
picture and say, "Has anybody seen my
[2:08:56]
dog or my cat?" Um, you can go on there
[2:08:58]
and they'll they'll put pictures of
[2:09:00]
animals that have been brought in in
[2:09:02]
case it's yours. You can just go on that
[2:09:04]
website and see the picture and say,
[2:09:06]
"Ah, get down there. It's there." And
[2:09:09]
so, because not everybody who license
[2:09:11]
their cat or dog gets it chipped. If
[2:09:14]
it's chipped, they can call you. If it's
[2:09:15]
not, then you just have to look. So,
[2:09:18]
that was I thought was a good thing.
[2:09:21]
>> That's all we have.
[2:09:22]
>> Okay. Thank you. Uh, council member
[2:09:25]
Roden, anything
[2:09:27]
update
[2:09:27]
>> perfectly there.
[2:09:29]
>> Okay. Any items for an upcoming city
[2:09:30]
council meeting?
[2:09:32]
>> Um, no. The only thing that I wanted to
[2:09:34]
bring up is just talking to Sher
[2:09:36]
briefly. Sounds like I'm in charge of
[2:09:39]
putting together a meeting to talk about
[2:09:40]
the fundraiser. So, I'm going to I might
[2:09:43]
need some help to do it an official way
[2:09:44]
if it's an official meeting, but August
[2:09:47]
31st at 6:30. And I'll probably hold
[2:09:49]
that at the pavilion.
[2:09:51]
>> Which day?
[2:09:53]
>> August 31st.
[2:09:57]
» I think it's
[2:10:02]
» Oh, that's fine.
[2:10:05]
>> Okay. What's
[2:10:08]
Who are they? because he's gonna have
[2:10:10]
>> It's me.
[2:10:12]
>> It's Woodland Hills Day's committee.
[2:10:14]
>> Oh, it is. Okay. Um
[2:10:19]
>> No, we have this room. I reserve this
[2:10:21]
room.
[2:10:21]
>> Can you have a different room?
[2:10:23]
>> Well, if you're doing PTR, that really
[2:10:25]
needs to be And that sounds like who
[2:10:27]
you're meeting with.
[2:10:28]
>> She doesn't seem to want to do it
[2:10:30]
formally.
[2:10:32]
So,
[2:10:34]
>> she she has to
[2:10:38]
She doesn't want ever want to, but she needs to.
[2:10:41]
>> Yeah, they need to be a formal meeting.
[2:10:43]
>> could you connect it
[2:10:45]
>> since it's the same people. Could you
[2:10:47]
ask Sher to
[2:10:48]
>> PTR meeting?
[2:10:49]
>> No, it's not a PTR. It's a Woodland
[2:10:50]
Hills day meeting. I thought you said it
[2:10:51]
was a PTR meeting.
[2:10:53]
>> When is the next PTR meeting?
[2:10:56]
>> Can I just be added to the agenda on
[2:10:57]
that?
[2:10:57]
>> It's supposed to be next week.
[2:11:01]
>> I'll be gone next week.
[2:11:05]
I haven't seen an agenda or heard
[2:11:07]
anything though.
[2:11:08]
>> It's supposed to be the 18th. So then
[2:11:10]
the next one after that would be
[2:11:14]
September 15th
[2:11:15]
>> after Woodland Hills Day, which doesn't
[2:11:17]
help.
[2:11:18]
>> You have to have it in August.
[2:11:21]
>> Or we could do maybe we could do the
[2:11:23]
18th.
[2:11:28]
» Would that work?
[2:11:29]
>> I think sooner is better. So you have
[2:11:31]
time to prepare
[2:11:34]
>> because I just reserved you a booth.
[2:11:36]
>> You did good. Thank you.
[2:11:38]
>> So if you could get a agenda
[2:11:41]
>> Sure.

[2:11:45]
>> Okay.
[2:11:46]
>> So August 18th at 6:30 p.m.
[2:11:49]
>> Yes.
[2:11:49]
>> And here.
[2:11:51]
>> Um I was going to do it at the pavilion,
[2:11:52]
but we could do it here if that's
[2:11:53]
better.
[2:11:54]
>> Well, we do it here typically because we
[2:11:56]
can record it and required to record
[2:11:59]
committee meetings. Got you.
[2:12:05]
Okay, thank you. 6:30 work. Is that the
[2:12:07]
typical time?
[2:12:09]
>> If you want it 6:30, it's otherwise on
[2:12:11]
the calendar for 7, but 6:30 is fine.
[2:12:18]
» Wonderful. Then we will take a quick
[2:12:21]
break here. Um, it is currently 8:12.
[2:12:25]
Uh, how about a quick break? Let's be
[2:12:28]

Valkovich. Uh, all in favor?
[2:16:08]
>> I.
[2:16:09]
>> Uh, any opposed?
[2:16:11]
That uh motion passes. Um, we're going
[2:16:14]
to now move on to the business items.
[2:16:16]
approval of the contract repair of the
[2:16:19]
exterior of the city center. Um, it
[2:16:22]
seems like you guys are operating under
[2:16:23]
last week's appro or last council
[2:16:26]
approval.
[2:16:27]
>> I think that's sufficient. I'm I'm happy
[2:16:29]
to make another
[2:16:31]
uh
[2:16:33]
>> motion if you would like to. So, I'd
[2:16:36]
like to make a motion that uh the that
[2:16:40]
we go back with a standard scope of work
[2:16:43]
for each of the contractors and give the
[2:16:47]
um
[2:16:50]
give the approval for
[2:16:53]
I don't remember what we had approved
[2:16:55]
last time
[2:16:57]
>> just that which is budgeted
[2:16:58]
>> that what what we budgeted um and give
[2:17:02]
that authorization to the mayor. um with
[2:17:06]
city c or city staff's approval of of
[2:17:10]
updated uh up to that money of updated
[2:17:14]
quotes.
[2:17:15]
>> But but not oh up up to the so changing
[2:17:18]
the the dollar amount because it seemed
[2:17:20]
like they all came in over the dollar,
[2:17:22]
didn't they?
[2:17:23]
>> No, I got the first one to help me
[2:17:25]
establish the budget.
[2:17:26]
