Since we have enough of how we go we'll start off with we need a closed session, but we're gonna hold off for that until we have mic and talk here.

So we're gonna start off with our emergency management plan.

Nick?

Come on up, sir.

On up, sir.

Okay, we're gonna have yours open our there's the clicker up there too that you should be able to use.

Yes.

It's it's already pulled up.

It's in no it's called C E M P.

Yeah, it's in the full Cold Open or something.

I think I think we pulled it up already.

Is this a good idea?

One of them is emergency management position with the response.

I was trying to do the ball.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Um really quick.

I'm gonna give this to Nick here.

You can stand up here because there that will fill in it.

Um again in this current budget year, you guys approved a hire um a part-time emergency management specialist.

We've been very fortunate uh to pick up Nick Roble, who is actually a member of our community, comes with a lot of experience, uh spent I don't know how many years down in the Las Vegas area.

18.

There you go, 18.

Um, and so he's gonna give you an update on our comprehensive emergency management plan.

This is one of many plans uh that we have to update regularly that's tied in back to the county, and then has to be this and has to be approved by the state and by FEMA both on this one, Nick.

No, not FEMA, it just has just the state in compliance with the preparedness guide.

So um, again, this is one of many, um, but this is one that uh we felt like is important from a city's perspective uh for him to take in just a few minutes and run through uh with members of the council so they can understand exactly what's encompassed in this plan, and also a good opportunity for Nick just to talk to a few minutes about uh all the many things he's been working on.

Um he's been very, very busy uh working for us, and he's doing a great job.

So I'm gonna get out of the way and let Nick take it over.

Thanks, Chief.

Sorry that work.

So thinking clear the mouse.

Yeah, okay.

All right, mouse in this room.

Yeah.

So excited.

We're taking on the two.

All right.

Uh thank you very much, She.

Uh the uh council admin tonight, Mayor and you uh just gonna go over the comprehensive emergency management plan.

Uh some of the objectives we're gonna outline tonight.

It's a framework for managing disasters and emergencies within the city.

Identify some departmental responsibilities, and then actually discuss plan implementation on our next steps from here.

Sure, I appreciate that, Mayor.

Oh, too much.

Too much click in back.

Yes, please.

So the comprehensive emergency management plan was put together with the FEMA uh comprehensive preparedness guide and with Salt Lake County Emergency Management reviewing and approving our plan.

So we're required to have one by Utah code under the emergency management act, and it is done in compliance with NIMS and the incident command system.

Go ahead to the next slide, please.

So who does this apply to?

Well, it applies to all of the Draper City departments, it's in coordination with county, state, and federal authorities.

So we will rely on those different entities during a disaster.

And it does integrate, as I said, with Salt Lake County Emergency Management and Utah DEM, and it's based on the hazard mitigation plan and our risk profile.

So some of the things that it does is it establishes what we are going to do for command and control, defines the operational procedures against uh across all of the departments, what departments are gonna be responsible for what exactly identifies the key role responsibility resource coordination, and supports our continuity of government plan, and then also our community preparedness and our resilience.

Next slide, please.

So our concept of operations, basically, what are our priorities going to be in a disaster?

Obviously, our number one priority is gonna be the life safety, number two, incident stabilization, property and environmental protection, community lifeline stabilization, and then the continuity of government.

We still have a responsibility to continue governmental operations during a disaster.

We have our five operational phases, our prevention protection, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation.

Next slide.

So some of our focus areas, regular plan updates now that we actually have a comprehensive emergency management plan, then continuity of operations plan integration with that.

How are we going to continue to function as a government?

Our training and exercise program.

It is homeland security exercise evaluation program compliant.

Baseline FEMA ICS NIMS training for all of our staff, and then public education and outreach.

So some things we're going to do to uh engage with the community.

We have our community emergency response team, our notified draper public alerts, our partnerships with the American Red Croat Red Cross and our BOADs.

We use the American Red Cross for sheltering in a disaster, things of that nature.

And then a public ordinance campaign, be ready draper that's based on the Be Ready Utah program.

So our commanding uh coordination structure, our incident command posts can be our field operations, our emergency operations center, it's gonna be the coordination that we use with logistics, situational awareness, and then backed by our policy group, which will consist of the mayor, city manager, our chiefs, and senior leaders.

So EOC activation, who has the authority to activate our city manager or emergency manager, and then we have two activation levels.

We have a full activation level, and then we have a partial activation level.

Next slide.

So as part of the response operation, some of the key actions, one of establish a common common operating procedure.

We want to know what's going on out in our city.

So we're gonna use different departments to do that.

So coordinate our public information via the JIC, which is joint information center, conduct damage assessments, request mutual aid and resources, and then support community protective actions and evacuations as necessary.

So, how does the disaster declaration process work?

So once the city realizes that our resources have been overran, we're gonna ask our neighboring jurisdictions.

Once that happens, we go to the county level, then we go to the state level, and then ultimately onto the federal level.

Next slide, please.

So once we start transitioning from a response to recovery, uh it's typically once the hazards being contained, our lifelines have been uh re-established, our damage assessments been completed, we'll establish what's called a recovery task force.

That's to coordinate our recovery priorities and start to basically rebuild our jurisdiction.

So within the plan, it has roles and responsibilities that are actually laid out for all of the city departments.

Uh, this is actually in the uh the plan.

This is just a sample, uh, but it encompasses all city departments.

Next slide.

So this plan will be reviewed annually by the fire department.

We plan on updating it every three years, or if we do have an incident, lessons learned, exercises, things of that nature.

And then as said before, we do integrate with the department continuity of operations plans, and then continuous improvement through after action reports from exercises or previous events.

Does anyone have any questions for me?

How will this be pushed out and trained?

Is there a training component to make sure everybody knows our specific role?

Yes, so after after it is prolonged, you will train it to the different departments and help them to understand what their roles are specifically within disaster response.

Can we get a NIMS 400 level if we are working on that?

Because I think there's a bunch of us that are stuck at 300.

And we have that 400.

We are working on it.

There is one NIMS 400 that's currently should be available on UTrain right now.

Um it's in January, the first part of January, and that'll be held out.

It's actually that the Valley Power Department that's putting that on, so it'll actually be held out at the South Jordan uh fire station out off of Mountain View Corridor, but it should be available on UTrain currently.

We've got 300 that we're doing actually at the first say the first week of December, and then 400 will be in January.

So can you comment on what community outreach you've done and what your vision is for that?

So we're I'm working on re-establishing the the CERT team.

I've worked with the University of Utah to get access to learning management systems, so now we can actually certify new community members as cert members, working on rebuilding that resource itself, and then working with different various uh community people going out to different events, going out for our fire prevention night, things of that nature.

Is there um we we used to have two emergency type committees?

One which was comprised of members from all the hospital, the school district, etc.

And then there was another one.

Do you see a need to reconstitute an internal or other an emergency committee of some sort?

I think the I think that there's really good communications.

Obviously, that decision will be left up to the city council, the mayor.

I I think that there's really good communications with community members as is.

I don't necessarily see a need for it at this moment because the communication is very good.

Okay.

Thank you.

So with the CERT program, um, are is the idea to get individuals certified or certified throughout the city?

Like you're gonna identify different districts or so currently there's there's ten identified districts within Draper City.

What we like to do is rebuild that CERT program, get a get a list of who is actually currently searching certified, and then rebuild that program to where it we can have a functioning volunteer program that we can use not only for disasters but for other events such as draperies within the CERC program.

There are certain training add-ons that allow for traffic control and different things that would be helpful to the city.

Correct.

Yes, right.

So will this plan be when will that be available for us to soon as it's promulgated by the city?

So once it's once it's approved by the by the city, FEMA recommends that it's it's adopted by elected officials, doesn't have to be, but it is recommended by FEMA.

Well, I can send out copies to the council, and then maybe we can address it in January we adopt it.

Yeah, um what role does Utah County have?

So I mean we're we're obviously the majority of our land is okay within Salt Lake County.

How do we in let's say there was a massive earthquake?

How do we integrate with with what Utah County is doing?

Or do we that that's still a work in progress?

We do have uh obviously a part of our city is in Utah County, so that is a concern of being able to integrate with Utah County along with Salt Lake County with the way that the city is set up and working with Salt Lake County.

I I think it would require a response from both Salt Lake County and Utah County.

Okay.

So thank you.

Nick, well, you also just mentioned really just really quickly the other plans that you are currently working on that that really then support our comprehensive emergency management plan.

Absolutely.

So currently I'm working on the weave operations for the fire department, the logistics annex, and the sheltering annex.

The sheltering annex is basically the plan is for how the city will shelter citizens within a disaster.

So that includes working with our BOA ads, working with the American Right Cross to get uh shelter sites identified and then pre-screened with the American Red Cross, so that way they're available during a disaster.

Our logistics annex is what we are going to use if we need to distribute emergency supplies.

So currently we have 10 sites that have been pre-identified as distribution sites that we could use in a disaster.

Thank you.

Any other questions?

Awesome.

Your presentation.

Absolutely.

Thank you.

All right.

Thank you, Nick.

Um, next one is a discussion on boundary line adjustment.

Yeah, let's yeah, let's go ahead and do that.

That shouldn't take very long.

Clicker.

Something the mouse?

Mouse clicker.

Whatever.

Okay, so sites for all that.

Thank you.

Um, just oh, there's my let me let me actually open up a Google map here.

So this is just to kind of prime the pump a little bit in terms of coordination with with um Bluffdale City.

So this is this is the point project.

Google needs to update their satellite photo.

Um over here is where you point where um UTA plans to put a front runner station, and then there's gonna be a road that connects 146 up in this general direction.

That's just to orient you.

Um so the road is the majority of the road is in Bluffdale, but there's a section here at this intersection that is actually within Draper City.

Um the proposal we'll bring back to you is to adjust our common boundary so that all this road is uh within the boundaries of Bluffdale so that there's not overlapping jurisdiction on the road, there's not overlapping maintenance requirements, that type of thing.

Um really all that will be in Draper is at the intersection and then you know 40 or 50 feet of pavement on each side of that intersection.

So um I'll work with with Bluffdale to get that coordinated.

The other thing we'll probably have to bring back too is so this this uh sixth west is Porter Rockwell Boulevard meets down in 146.

As it turns out, the end of 146 is actually in Bluffdale, so we may probably have to adjust that boundary so that Port of Rockwell Trail is all within Draper City's boundaries.

We'll coordinate with Bluffdale City and and either do those two things together or piggyback them one after the other.

Um probably are the sizes about the same.

Um I can't remember, it's been it's been a while since we've met with Bluffdale regarding the size of this.

The the one the one near the front runner station is not a very big you were recalled.

This was in Draper, and we flipped it over a couple years ago.

Yeah, I remember that.

So just just kind of prime of the pumpkin idea, yeah.

Okay, that's all things.

So this is what we make most of the land within Draper for me.

Um it's to make sure that the jurisdiction of every road is under one city.

Okay.

So this front runner road would be in Bluffdale, and all of uh Port Rock will be in Duraper up to 146.

So kind of where it fits the passage.

Exactly.

Yeah.

Because we're gonna take ownership of Porter Rock.

Well, we know all of it should be in our jurisdiction.

We want to have decentle absolute road.

And that way we have full responsibility roads.

We don't have a sign that says we fix them here to here yes.

That's right, and suddenly Bluffdale says we're not gonna fix that end of it.

We're joined just about it.

Yep.

All right, so we have a need to go into a closed session.

Um I'd like a litigation.

Yes.

So litigation reason.

So a motion to go into a closed session for litigation purposes.

Do we add character commenting Tom Super person?

If you want, yeah, I have that too.

And real estate transactions can out you want.

I don't know.

For all the purposes, legally closed said that's and that's what our talk about security.

Yes.

Let's do it all.

Okay, so Mr.

Green, did you make the motion?

I made the motion.

Second.

Oh second.

We're in.

All right.

Yes.

Tasha?

Yes.

Marsha?

Yes.

Rip?

Yes.

Okay.

Closed session for us.

Is he even on the whole side of the 545 or my there?

Mike that makes a lot of it.

It's on the chain.

Right.

1130.

You have a little tree in this marshal.

Well, I think that's a good thing.

Yeah, I know it's false.

Sometimes we have to do that.

Oh, there's a cake and it's uh there's a it's better than software.

I know.

I'm sure.

Cookies and so forth.

Like they're looking at it.

So shutter up sweet.

What for one?

You don't just have a cookie.

Sorry, I get it.

I did too, but it didn't stop me.

I just was making an observation.

Um we talked about maybe drawing names again for the Christmas party.

Is everybody okay with that?

Yeah, yeah.

So we you manage that again?

Did we draw anything ahead then?

Like did I know that it was you?

So we so we we didn't just like get there and pick it yet.

We got there somehow happened there.

I can't remember.

We just picked a catering.

I can't be your person.

Okay, yeah.

So I got your uh New Year's E pack.

Okay.

So green maybe here, right?

Should be in our good.

I can't remember.

I tell her whatever.

She's more she's just wanting to be here.

Yeah.

She's got to do something about those scooters.

She needs to do something about the side.

That is good for her.

We're ready for uh rep.

Okay, not with that.

Go ahead.

I think they don't know how to do that.

Alright, mayor and council.

Actually got two quick things for you, so we'll try and go fast, but if you have any questions, please let me know.

What projects parsing restaurants?

These are the ones that are gonna drop off.

Just a reminder that you know what the residents now have.

Nice basketball pickleball court for sunrise neighborhood.

You're going the wrong way though.

Troy certified.

He's true.

I'm training.

I'm training.

Yeah.

Just to let you know, we finally worked with Lehigh, got all of their trail done on the ones that Lehigh paid for.

A lot of them are on our property.

But it was the footpath that just got completed.

So now Lehigh's Dream, Mayor's Trail, and the footpath are all done.

And uh got connections of Lehigh and Drake version.

They'll be dropping off as well.

Some neat new trails.

Okay, so the ones we're working on right now, just to give you a quick update.

Uh Jensen Farm, phase three.

We've got to do all the procurement, we've got the design done.

He's ready now.

We're uh probably staging and mobilizing tomorrow.

Contractors been dumping a lot of the dirt in there.

That'll be this green area.

We'll have a couple pickleball courts, a multi-use court, a new smaller playground, restroom, a barn, it's also a storage shed.

So we're gonna try and do some of the the bike trails.

Hopefully keep the neighborhood kids there instead of just dripping up the park.

So see if it works.

Should uh should be pretty awesome.

So if the weather stays the way it is, we'll get a lot of work done this winter, but now we'll pick it up and should be done by uh summer.

All that stuff.

All that stuff will be in by the summer.

Yeah, all this and green will be will be done in summer.

Phase two, phase one.

I honestly think it's gonna be my favorite one of them all.

Makes me really happy for all those residents over there that have been waiting for it for some day.

Yeah, and the ones I talked to has really been so happy.

Yeah, be really neat.

So it's parking.

And you've got a lot of kids over there, which is like a good idea.

Yeah.

It's a great neighborhood.

Weeds as far as you can see.

So awesome.

So there's that phase three we're currently going on right now.

RPDM we've talked about, but this is if this is the uh one that we re-designated last year as a bike only downhill for safety reasons.

So we're reworking it.

It's pretty much done until you get bike down here.

I wrote it with staff a few weeks ago and it might be my favorite downhill trail.

It's not quite a float trail like we have over on the Utah County side.

It is a flow trail, but it's more kind of back country, a little narrow, a little tighter.

So far the reviews of how people arrive at the RPD.

Yeah, we need to do it.

Wait, is it it connects right by peak view?

Uh-huh.

So if you take peak view trail up, it's where it'll start.

Oh, okay.

I see.

Point to me the parking lot.

Right.

Okay, thank you.

So it's over on this the most eastern.

It can.

Actually, yes, it ties into hops right down here.

And then you can take long view up and make a loop.

Oh, or you can go on the or you can go off, yeah.

So but it's getting reworked so with the flow trail, so it's downhill only.

Pretty neat.

So it's almost done.

This one we've been working with UTA a lot.

This is uh Porter Rock little trail.

But you know, we have big problem here with this intersection with a bunch of people crossing and caused issues with traffic, so we're trying to get them off the street.

Finally got them to allow us, hopefully to use it.

We haven't got final approval yet for the time.

Um a few things.

We've really decided we need to add this little leg.

This is used for a lot of parking right here.

So if someone wanted to park here, we need to get them on the trail instead of making them go through the intersection again, so it'd be a really great access.

Uh as well.

We're really trying to cut the track and remove it, kind of like we did over by future way.

Um that will save us happen to ramp up a ton and make it ADA accessible or that tractor is no reason.

No, no.

So I think we've got them where they finally let us cut it.

But by doing that, I have no idea about any of this.

UTA's always interesting, but we have to we have to do uh a survey for each parcel.

This is the parcel line.

We have to go all the way to the north and all the way to the south.

It's gonna be about another six thousand dollars minimum.

Yeah, it's what's the sir purpose of the survey?

It's uh it's a survey, so basically it's a snapshot, so they know everything that's in there, everything that's historic, where the tracks were like like like Jen did.

Kind of with the QT.

Um it's a record of survey, yeah.

It's kind of an inventory.

That's the minimum.

We have three bits.

It's almost more.

So how do you keep people from still using the purple?

Are you gonna pull that part out?

No, it'll still be there as an access, but it'll be.

Now we don't have to stop and cross traffic and everything.

Yeah, yeah, it goes right over to the whole machine that way.

It'll be really nice.

So we're waiting on UTA that give us final approval, then we'll get going.

Some of the extra costs we might have to do a budget amendment.

I don't know yet, but maybe yeah.

This will all be paid, yeah.

So you'll it'll come in, this will all be paid now, so you can just keep keep going.

And have a continuous trail all through Draper without road crossings.

Well, of course you have one third.

On top of the bridge, there's some kind of guard rails or something.

Uh huh.

On both sides of the rock.

High enough that kids aren't gonna jump off them or something.

Well, never put it in fast.

They have no problem dropping rocks off.

There's already a dirt trail that I write it every single time I write.

People are already using it, yes.

Um, there is a fence, but it's got a hole in it.

But the dirt trail that just goes covered in there.

All the way down.

Yes, this is the dirt trail, which brings me to the last point here.

Um they've asked if we would just incorporate this with our plan the dirt trail, meaning making it an official Draper City trail.

No extra money, anything.

But when we're doing this whole thing, we want to adopt that as an official city trail in the corridor.

That's what they'd like us to do.

Why not?

So that's what the cycle park is at the time.

So we say why not take right up to the question.

We might as well.

So cycle park trail or something.

Really neat project, really needed.

Uh can we just remove the built heads on that?

They have quite a year this year too.

They did.

But yes, it's one that when we get paid, we'll certainly try and maintain cool.

Um this is a very simple one.

This is where we're working with this property owner to do just the neighborhood access for all these people who live in the cranberry neighborhood.

There's this connection.

But the the homeowners actually really been going home to give the city kind of run into a snack with some of the big dreamless language.

We'll kind of wait and working through that, but as soon as that's done, we'll pay that.

We should connect to the border rock later and give all that neighborhood a great access, because this is 11.

You know, there's no access at all because it'll be a great access.

Well familiar with rip the band-aid on BB Brown too, so I'm ready to rip it off.

I'm too.

We haven't done a whole lot on this.

I know you've had some conversations with some of the residents, but if there's any direction, happy to take it.

They've had eight years to bury now.

Yeah, they re raise all the money.

So some have a protein.

I thought we were ready to move forward.

Where are we on?

Yeah, so I'm sorry, Mike, we use furniture.

I some of you express a desire to have a a little bit narrower trail that would be able to be more maneuverable through the encroachments.

Uh the way it stands now, there's enough encroachments with the ten foot trail.

Is it was is plan A a ten foot?

Yeah, it's ten foot uh currently on both sides right now.

Right.

That's what we had.

We we designed we may run into issues of having resistance legal resistance to removing stuff off uh out of the uh easement area.

The question is whether or not the council would consider a slightly narrower trail that may be a little bit more nimble in maneuvering through that area.

That's always been what I wanted.

I think we still get the trail, and we don't have to make people tear their whole backyard now.

Are you saying like an eight-foot trail?

An eight-foot paved trail.

I think if we did an eight-foot paved trail, that's the minimum the Ashco standards, I would say.

That's the idea is to have people, they say nothing below that.

Think of it like a sidewalk.

We're getting that the six-foot trail.

Can they pay?

Is there any way that those residents pay for that two-foot easement?

I guess it's their property, isn't it?

It's just the easement.

They own the property, they they're just an easement on the property.

It's really just a feature.

They have to pay to be in the easement, right?

Sure.

That's what I mean.

If we compliment on an eight-foot trail, they need to pay something, or or we just pay the pay us to release the but doing that, it would also definitely require a fence along the canal.

Some of these areas where the worst encroaches that's like something seven, eight consequences.

Why do you have to have a fence on the canal?

Because if the asphalt goes right to the bank of the canal, I think we're more getting pushing the scary.

It's just gonna be encaged in.

So what do you guys want to do with it?

I'm okay with the eight-foot trail.

But I think that those that are encroaching on it, there needs to be some type of compensation for rescinding that section of easement.

So they should pay us.

They always said they would, so I think it's a fair thing to ask.

Or the pencil.

And you can make a work with eight feet of fence.

Let it let it that it let it cover what cost the fence would be, is what I would do have pile of fence?

It seems like there's a lot of places where the trail is like pulling off the mouth side.

The only place we have similar is right up here on this side.

There's no fence over there.

There is a fence right between the trail and the canal.

But then it's the next section on it.

But then, but when you get past the long corner can there's no fence in the canal.

But it's not a good thing.

And if we had the whole 15 feet corridor here, we wouldn't be fence off.

But we're gonna let the encroachments remain in there on the trail.

That's where we get the problem.

They should pay for the fence.

Okay.

So eight foot trail.

Well, the platform is no no fence within the easement.

The question is, does that mean perpendicular across the easement or now this whole corridor has a fence right now, so every one of them is pretty much in violation of the correct if that's how they it's supposed to be meant across east and west.

So that's yeah, you know, as a canal company, the calc company, right?

That's their position too, as far as I'm gonna do it.

This would be a won't be an eight-foot fence, it'll be like a smaller.

Probably a four-foot fence, I could be on that ourselves.

Do you guys want to do that?

Eight-foot trail?

Make them pay for the that are in the people in the encroachment pay us the fair value of the I guess.

I would actually feel that about that.

Yeah.

Brin?

Marsha?

Brad, doctor, Mike?

That's pretty unanimous.

Okay.

Eight-foot trail the whole corridor, right?

Infoot trail, the whole corridor.

And they and the people in your encroaching pay us for the.

Or to do it this way.

Do it this way.

Are you all good with that if they say no, then you just I think that's a fair compromise.

I really do.

Yes.

Alright, perfect.

Now you have direction clear.

We got clear direction.

This one's very quick.

We're just gonna be finishing the discoverage areas have been great to have.

We're we're given the bike shop about seven or eight feet of our property, so we're gonna reclaim that with the fence on the property line until we can get back behind this new shed.

So we might be able to see.

Probably have to be done by the end of the year, but let's bring just be safe.

This is one I know several of you have interest in.

You can see we've done a lot here.

This is this is the two park properties between inauguration and sunrise.

This up until a few months ago had that big fence with all the today rushing all the panels and everything that gripped all those out.

And now working with Robert Public Works that gives us permission to reduce the retention of this by a long way, we'll still have a little storage.

But this can pretty much just be flattened and maybe one nice park, so it would really be great.

And now all of the election neighborhood can access the nice part of the park with the playground and stuff.

So it's range of that'll be great.

Uh this one's the one we got the grant for.

This is our bridge that's about to fall in because this thing just keeps widening and widening.

So this is just an example, it would be a five foot wide one, but it'd be right up here on uh right above Red Rock Trailhead.

And we have to re realign the trail just a little bit, if you call.

But that one can't come soon enough, I don't think.

We don't we don't want to risk it any longer.

So it's funded and we got the grant as well, so we're ready to get that one in.

Trying to go fast here.

This is uh not much going on in this one, but that's the the one we proved uh just to get it up on it's paid by the Trust Foundation.

Here's just a few guys wanted to run through with you real quick.

This is next to you on the very high with the park trails and rep committee that they recommend.

This would just be a small section to build up a trail.

Intent would be this Eagle Crash, you know, get busy, it's two-way traffic.

People that comes up with hollow that are wanting to go to this all the trails, make it busy.

So if someone was going east, if we connect that, it'd let them so they can go on rattle and home, use this connection, miss all the uphill traffic from Woods Hollow and everything, and keep going on their way.

Or it creates a little form if they wanted to just do that one.

So for a short little section of trail, it gives us a lot of a good not very expensive.

And with these we can do uh resolution like in March, like we did last year with some of the projects with BTR committee that they want to push forward.

So that would be one of them.

This one I think would be really neat.

If you're familiar with vertical and levitate, they are separate trails, but then they come to the point where they merge, and they're separate here, then they merge, and for this part you use the same trail, vertical and levitate the same.

And then they split where levitates on the bottom here when they go back separate, levitates on the top verticals on the bottom.

So the idea here is to put vertigo in the geo trench that's already cut there, and have the bridge go over, so that there's no there's no dangerous areas, they're always separated, and uh it'd be a great use people would love it.

So there's no more merges or crossings of the trail.

That's a good idea.

Um that one we probably get corner canyon trail foundation to fund it.

This one I just wanted to show you this picture.

We sort of staff standing here.

This is the one that we hide this built on uh, so this would be Lehigh's Dream, the downhill flow trail, with their fly over.

And I went to Arkansas a few months ago to uh drive some of their trails, they have tons of leads.

They're really iconic, they'd be really neat for our trail system.

But we have the same issue over here on Maple Hollow downhill, maple hollow B Ridge would be up here.

But when you ride it, this is the part everybody hates.

We did it intentionally to make it slow because you're coming across in the hands, which is a very busy multi-use trail.

So the thought, you know, again supported by PTR committee would reroute it so it's still a flow, keep coming down, still make nice big turns, but then when you get the ends, we would have a flyover similar to this.

So again, it's it's more safe, it's more fun, it looks like high.

Bring a lot of pictures, you know, people bragging about our trails.

So it really would be a great.

This is the one that the PTR committee at the last meeting said was the highest priority that had safety issues, and so my thought is I'd like to see if we could open the budget and find the 25k to start doing this quickly.

That was my I think the dollar amount's pretty low as far as there's something in the budget we can find out.

Well, Rhett, my question on the funding is I think every one of these is said potential funding by the corner chain tries.

So they're all possible, they're all possible to get grants.

Really just want to make sure the use council can be okay then for Z forward.

If not, then we'll just be done.

But if you were okay, then we can try and find out some of the revenue sources.

I think I think the Charles Foundation would be really interested in funding this one.

I don't know how much whatever you can do on the C C PF.

But I'm sure we wouldn't say should, but we're sure we can get a lot of things.

Are they still coming up with money?

Charles Foundation.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, they've still been vigilant with anything else.

This one's just a very formations.

There's a lot of social trails going in.

This is one that we would build ourselves, so no funding needed.

I can do it in-house with our trail system.

But it's just a nice little loop around Red Rock.

No idea.

These are really like some national park looking things.

You can be walking through this fire, you could walk through that spire, and that would help with the erosion and people making all the social trails.

It'd be pretty easy when we could cut ourselves in house and not need any funding for.

This one I'll just be quick, but it's still a lot of moving parts, but there's been some discussion with Alpine with Blue Bison, or what was Blue Ison to build this trail within Trata to a lot of different donors, but people wanted this.

This was also a really high priority for PTR committee.

I spoke with Intrata.

They're willing to do this, but they want to talk about their full entitlement as a part of it.

So entitlement to what?

I don't know, but that's what his message was to me.

And then Sauterfield's blowing me up.

So I'm sure it has something to do with this, but I haven't called around.

He would love to do a piece well on board.

This is really benefits Alpine more than anyone, doesn't it?

Um it certainly would benefit Alpine, but just give them more to be fun.

It makes a really big loop that gets to see more three falls and stuff a lot easier.

I really have no need to help pylon or alpine.

I guess that wasn't clear.

So I will say in trying most of their property is within very first cities, but they are cut off from any of our street improvement things like that.

I'm I think they're trying to work with Alpine and Highland to get access to their property, but they have come in for DRC a few times of the last couple years looking at doing health.

Housing.

Yeah.

Um for Alpine and How and Highland if you let us put houses.

Yeah, and I I don't remember what the density was.

Um it's very steep.

So I think it was more like a state lots, that kind of thing, but they are wanting to do it.

Well, I'm hearing is we're there's more work to do on this.

That's what you're hearing.

What is the parking trail committee say about it?

Very balls and that loop.

That's the second way to do the mowing and the uh I'd say you assess that pretty well.

You're ready.

We all have a few minutes, let me go our council manager stuff at the end.

Sure.

Take a break and then uh we'll go in there.

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our city council meeting.

We have a chance to get started right on time, so I'm gonna seize the day on that.

We we sometimes don't.

So I appreciate everyone being here.

I'm gonna call this meeting to order our first order of business item number two in our agenda is the Pledge of Allegiance, and uh, we're gonna have that done by our HR director, Derek Worth.

Derek, come on up, sir.

Thank you.

All right.

Next item on our agenda, item number three.

I'm gonna turn the time over to our fire chief, Mr.

Clint Smith, where he will administer the present the oaths for firefighters and maybe some paramedics for the oath of office.

Go ahead, Chief.

Uh mayor and counsel, thank you again for the opportunity to uh be in front of you tonight with some of our uh newly promoted and new members to our department uh to present and swear in for you at this time.

Uh again, we're very fortunate to have the members that we do and to continue to attract uh good talent uh into our organization and uh want to just introduce each of these uh to you quickly tonight.

Uh first up, we have uh Boyd Hammond, who is being promoted to the rank of engineer within our organization.

Um and uh, you know, I want to share a little bit about um each of these individuals with you as we go.

So uh Boyd was born in Florida, uh, obviously to two amazing parents who taught him the value of hard work, humility, and then if you're early, you're on time, and if you're on time, you're late.

Um, I think that's a good model to live by.

Uh, those lessons stuck until he got married, that is.

Um, and his wife then decided that on time was more of a suggestion, apparently.

Um after he was born, he moved to Utah when he was only a few years old, and he's called the Sandy Draper area home for almost his entire life.

He has one amazing sister and an incredible niece that live in the area as well.

After a few years of figuring out what it was he wanted to be when he grew up, he decided that firefighting um was much cooler than being a cop, and so uh boyd found himself uh his calling in the fire service.

He started with Draper Fire on the wildland side of things.

Um he was actually hired as part of our uh seasonal fuels mitigation crew.

He worked there and was eventually uh transitioned over to the full-time structure side of things.

He loves both the structure and the wild land, and he's very grateful uh in our agency to be able to work in two areas uh that that he loves and supports.

Over the past four years, he's worked tirelessly to serve in our community, uh running calls, participating obviously in fire and EMS training and perfecting um his uh stair chair and stretcher operations for this promotion because we all know that our engineers uh are referred to from time to time as our stretcher fetchers.

So he's he's well prepared for that.

Uh home, Boyd is uh is a husband, a proud bonus dad to a rambunctious six-year-old and a rescue pup that he spends a lot of his free time now trying to train between five family and life and the job he's learned to survive on rock stars ramen and the occasional recliner nap where he swears he's just resting his eyes.

I have been there myself many times.

So we're very, very proud of Boyd, um, his continued dedication.

Uh again, seeing him initially start out in our seasonal fuels cu crew program and now over many years continue to prepare himself and continue to do advance uh for me uh in in the position of chief.

It's uh there's nothing more that rewarding than seeing your people be successful throughout their career.

So with that, we'd like to bring Boyd up now and we'll administer the oath of office for him for his promotion, and then we will ask uh those invited to come up and do a badge pinning for us.

Right on up here, front and center.

We're all listening, Boyd.

First off, if I can have uh members of my command staff come up here with me, why we do this?

Yes, that would be both of you.

Come on up, and then uh whoever's been selected to come and pin the badge on, come on up.

Okay, okay.

Through his prevention and mitigation efforts.

And I would also like to mention you may have saw a uh Facebook post on our uh department Facebook page just a little over a week ago.

Parker was also recognized.

I'm gonna switch here the uh see a few more pictures, but uh Parker was recognized by the Utah Division of Forestry Fire and State Lands two weeks ago with the twenty twenty-five Wildland Urban Interface Mitigation Award, and they they choose one recipient out of projects across the whole state uh to recognize, and so I think that uh demonstrates what a tremendous job he's been doing in this role and what uh he is doing to help reduce that uh threat that exists to our community, and so we're very proud of the work that uh that he has been doing.

So come on up, you get to stand here while I read about everyone else, and everyone can enjoy looking at his long uh locks while he's up here.

Uh next up we have uh firefighter Josh Myers.

Josh grew up in Alpine, Utah, and the fire service it wasn't just a career path, it was it's really been part of his family's legacy and identity.

He's following in the footsteps of both his grandfather and his father.

His father's with us tonight.

Um he continues that legacy of service, dedication, and courage that spans three generations.

Uh Josh married his high school sweetheart, Marin, and together they have two children, a two-year-old boy Max and a six-month-old boy Leo, um, who will grow up watching their dad serve in his community just as he has been able to do with his dad, um, seeing that same commitment um and heart that has inspired him through his entire life.

Um, and they currently reside in American Fork.

Um and Josh again was a member of our seasonal uh fuels crew year this year and uh tested, and now we've been able to obviously bring him into the full-time ranks, and we're super excited to have him.

Josh, come on up here and let people look at you now.

I read the last one.

And then last but not least, we have uh firefighter Wesley Rash.

Uh Wes was born and raised in Troutman, North Carolina.

Uh he became a volunteer firefighter at the age of 18, fresh out of high school and really on the hills of 9-11.

He earned an association in applied science in the field of fire protection technology, and then worked as a full-time firefighter EMT in Mooresville, North Carolina.

He then left for a couple of years to serve an LDS mission in San Francisco.

Upon returning his mission, he met his wife.

Um, the week he got home, and they were married just six short months later.

Following this, uh Wes went back to school and graduated with a bachelor's degree in health care administration from Weber State University and embarked on a career in that field.

Well, he's passionate about helping people in any capacity.

The call to the fire service never seemed to leave him.

Uh so shortly after welcoming their fifth child uh into their family in 2022.

Wes left the desk job behind and returned to his original passion of full-time firefighting back again in his hometown of Troutman, North Carolina.

He's a proud member, he's been a proud member of Troutman Davidson and Lake Norman Field Fire Departments for several years, and he looks forward to this new journey here in Utah.

And uh he says that he's honored to have the chance here to work in Draper and to serve the citizens of this amazing city.

And he and his wife and five children currently reside uh down in Utah County.

Uh, we're very fortunate again to have somebody of uh of his caliber and expertise that's joining us.

So Wes, come on up, sir.

Fuel three will come over here.

We'll administer the office, and then we will work through the badge pinnings.

Okay, we're gonna ask, we'll do the badge pinning for Parker first, if we can have your lovely wife come forward.

All right.

Josh, if you would like to have your lovely wife come forward.

And Mr.

Rash, if your lovely wife would like to come forward.

Thank you, Mayor and Council.

We appreciate uh the opportunity to come and be with you again tonight and uh present these outstanding individuals to you.

Thank you, Chief.

We're lucky in Draper to have such great firefighters and paramedics, and we have the best in the land.

So again, welcome to all of you.

We're glad to have you, your families.

Thank you for sharing them with us.

Um, hopefully they like working here, and we're great.

We're certainly glad to have all of them.

So and thank you for coming.

Glad to have you.

You're certainly welcome to stay if you're bored out of your minds, and you would like to hear some public business, we'd be glad to have you.

But otherwise, you're welcome to go.

All right, that takes us to item number four, which is the next item on our agenda.

This is an opportunity for people to make general public comment to the council.

We have items on our agenda.

I think we have six public hearings.

If you're here for a public hearing um item, we ask that you wait for that public hearing item so we keep our record clear.

But if you'd like to make a general public comment, I have one card.

Let me see a show of hands.

Is there anyone else that would like to make a general public comment this evening?

All right, I have one, sir.

So our rules are um you come up to the uh lectern.

I got two cards, I guess.

All right.

Um when you when it's your turn, I'll call your name.

Come up to the microphone, give us your name and address.

That'll start a time.

The time to my right and your left is three minutes.

You certainly don't have to use them all, but you're welcome to.

Um, but at the end of three minutes, your time will be over, and that's the way we do it here.

So if you're in the middle of a thought, you'll have to come back another time.

Otherwise, we we will be glad to hear your comment.

Again, it's not conversation with the council, but it's an opportunity to make a comment for them to hear.

They may address your issue later when public comments over and they can talk amongst themselves.

But otherwise, it's an opportunity for you to be heard.

So the first card I have is um is it Graham Hepworth?

Grant.

Grant.

Come on up, sir.

Give us your name and address, and we'll be glad to hear from you.

Uh Grant Howarth, uh, 4523 West Four Thorley in Harriman, Utah, recently.

And uh I have read your bios.

I'm pleased to be able to uh uh share with you today.

The uh colonies had a difficult time with their religion uh because uh there were multiple dominant religions in the different colonies.

They struggled with tax problems in the state of Virginia.

Um Thomas Jefferson as governor, and uh James Madison as uh an assemblyman uh put together a bill, and that bill uh reflected the freedom of religion, which eventually became the first amendment to the constitution, and that was passed January 16th of uh 1786.

Uh two centuries later, the state of Utah passed its own Freedom of Religion Day, recognizing uh that each governor since that period of time has indeed uh recognized it publicly with their own declaration.

Each president of the United States since 1992 has also publicly recognized January 16th as religious freedom day.

Uh religious freedom and uh reflect on it as something worthwhile that those citizens and governments would do.

So my request today uh is for you to consider as a uh mayor and council uh establishing a religious freedom day for your community.

There are five other communities who have already done this.

Some of them do it by framing and hanging, such as this, their proclamation.

Uh the governor's proclamation isn't quite so fancy, but just looks as as nicely as well.

Um in our communities, we have seen in Minnesota burnings of buildings and uh Boston, uh the uh killing of uh Catholics, the Baptists have had their buildings burned.

Here we have Jewish members who have to have a guard in order to uh meet in in their synagogue.

And we are Muslims sometimes live in fear, but more importantly, uh we need to make sure that we have broad civility, general tolerance, uh active tolerance and unity within our organizations.

And so I encourage you to do what the bill says to us, and and that is to pay uh resolution on it.

Thank you.

All right.

Next item, uh next card that I have is uh I think I got this name, Branson Brinton.

Did I get that right?

Come on up, sir.

Same rules, name and address, and go ahead.

All right, Branson Brinton, uh 12730 South, 1300 East.

Uh the what I wanted to discuss isn't uh so important as the religious freedom topic or the um the firefighters who have committed to serve our community, but uh is still of great interest to a lot of people here in Draper.

And that is that uh we don't have a uh an indoor tennis facility.

So folks that play tennis here in Draper uh have outdoor facilities uh readily available during the the nice weather days, but when the weather turns, uh they're forced to travel to um surrounding communities, um, spending 40 to 60 minutes kind of in round trip travel to to play tennis.

And so um the the challenge has been uh in in having or in building a facility has been uh the cost.

And so um you should have an email in in uh in your inbox uh with outlining kind of uh uh some terms of a proposal to to utilize some of the the city's uh currently unutilized land for a temporary uh indoor tennis facility with the intent that over time uh we'd be able to put together additional support, additional funds, and um build a a proper uh a proper permanent facility um at a later date.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Is there anyone else who would like to make a general public comment to the council?

All right, seeing no further public comment, we'll move on to item number five.

Item number five A is approval of the October 21st, 2025 City Council meeting minutes.

Um item 5B is approval of resolution number 25-60.

It's a resolution of the city council appointing Jason Wiggins as a member of the Draper City Parks Trails and Recreation Committee.

It's a resolution appointing Gentry White as a member of the Draper City Tree Committee.

5D is res approval of resolution 2562, it's a resolution appointing me, um, Troy Walker is Draper City's designated representative on the board of to the board of trustees of the Jordan Basin Improvement District.

Resolution of the Council accepting a quick claim deed from Triple S Investment Company LLC.

Item 5F is approved resolution 2564.

It's a resolution of the council adopting the official Draper City brand and style guide.

Mr.

Mayor.

Go ahead.

I move we approve consent items A 5A through 5F.

Right.

Motion by Ms.

Vodry to approve uh consent items 5A through Ferrari second.

I'll second.

Second by Ms.

Johnson.

Any further discussion on those items?

Right hearing none, Ms.

Farder, how do you vote?

Yes.

Ms.

Johnson?

Yes.

Mr.

Lowry.

Yes.

Mr.

Green.

Yes.

Ms.

Lowry.

Yes.

All right.

That's everyone.

Unanimus five to zero on the consent items.

Item six is next.

And this is items for council consideration.

This starts our public hearing times.

6A is a public hearing of the South Valley Mosquito Abatement District proposed tax increase.

And um you might be wondering why we're having that here in Draper City Hall, but we are required by law that since they're in our area for them to be able to make presentation to you.

So I'm gonna turn the time over.

It looks like Brad Gilson and Dan McBride.

Brad, are you talking?

Go ahead, sir.

Good evening, Mayor and Council members slash neighbors.

Um I'd like to introduce Dan.

He'll uh explain this.

Dan's been with the mosquito abatement district for 10 years.

He's been the district manager for two years, and uh he runs a very efficient ship, and I'll let him do the heavy hitting here.

Welcome, Dan.

I appreciate it.

Thank you, Mayor and Council, for letting me come.

Um I am coming on behalf as the mayor was just talking about for Utah Code 17B-103, and that is the requirement that as an entity that works within your um city that we come and report on our intent to hold a truth and taxation uh public hearing.

Um, and in this example, we're going to be doing it on December 8th.

Um, for those who are unfamiliar with us, and I know that we are uh we are kind of a little niche organization.

The the South Salt Lake Valley Mosquito Abatement District is a special district whose primary task is the abatement and control and also um the disease um research for mosquito-borne diseases.

So we do a lot um with West Nile virus, we do a lot with uh St.

Louis Encephalitis, two of the main kind of primary concerns here within the state of Utah when it comes to mosquito-borne diseases.

Um we also do abatement.

Uh many people will probably recognize us if you spent any time down at the Soon Kahani.

I a lot of my um people work down there.

We also do a lot um over in Marrowband around the Sunset Ponds area.

Um, but we also have a lot of crews that are just working on the streets, they're delivering uh mosquito fish to residents of Draper.

They're going into people's backyards and they're trying to mitigate the risk of West Nile virus.

Um we this year are seeking a tax increase of what is going to amount to about 320,000, um, which brings our total property tax revenue to 1.42 million dollars for the 2026 calendar year.

Um just for contacts or for context, that is an increase of about 77 cents a year on the average, $600,000 home.

Um, a lot of that is going to just be doing cost stabilization of essential services, just like everybody else, we're kind of affected um by the the world and price increases and everything else that is going on.

Um, we're also doing some operational enhanced enhancements or wish to do some operational enhancements, um, specifically kind of updating our control measures.

Um we we are a couple years behind some of the newest technology that is out there, and we want to kind of bring ourselves back up.

And then it's just kind of replenishing our capital budget savings.

Um we operate out of a building that is now about 20 years old, and just like all buildings, it kind of requires a little bit more upkeep, and so it requires us to keep those funds available for that upkeep.

Um, I am available for questions and happy to answer any before turning it over to the public.

Have you noticed an increase in West Nile rates?

Unfortunately, yes.

Um and that's not just in our district, that is nationwide.

We are seeing a pretty significant increase in West Nile virus on a national level.

Um, this year in the state of Utah, we saw an increase that was to to be completely frank, kind of frightening.

We went from averaging roughly about one to two human cases to this past year.

We had over 40.

We had several people that passed away.

Um, and it is a concerning thing.

Now, as a biologist and someone who kind of studies trends, we could just be on a natural high year that does seem to happen a lot with infection, infectious disease and with uh vector-borne diseases.

However, it's something that we're very cognizant of, and it is something that we are constantly monitoring.

Do you have data with you this evening on how many cases have been found in Draper?

In Draper human cases, I do not.

Um, we deal mostly with mosquito positive cases.

I will tell you in Draper this past year, I think we had roughly about 70 individual traps that came back positive for West Nile.

A lot of that is along the river.

Um, a lot of that is around kind of the Soon Kahani Jordan River corridor from 114th down to Bangator in Draper.

That being said, we have found some in other places.

Um, and the the hard part with West Nile viruses a lot of times the information that we find in our traps don't necessarily correlate to the human information.

Um mosquitoes travel huge distances, um, and so we we have to kind of catch what we can and and do what we can there.

Do you find higher incidence of West Nile virus or the other disease you were mentioning along the canals?

No, not really.

A lot of times, especially with the canals, the cattle nails have enough of a flow rate that we don't see a lot of what we consider mosquito production, things coming from larva out to adults.

Um, one thing we do notice with canals, especially canals that are closer to the Great Salt Lake, is mosquitoes use them as a kind of highway system.

But by the time it kind of trickles down to this part of the valley, we don't see as many.

Thank you.

How far can a mosquito travel?

Um we have roughly 28 different species of mosquitoes here in the valley.

Two of those species, if you get bit by one of them in your backyard, there's a very good chance they probably came from the Great Salt Lake.

So the top mileage we found is about 50 miles, which is pretty significant.

So you are killing them.

That is your main.

That is part of the job.

Yeah, but we try to get rid of them, yeah.

We're we're not an extermination services, so it's never going to be a point where we get rid of all of them.

Um, but we do try to control the disease carriers specifically to try to mitigate the risk to the population.

Any other questions?

Anything else?

Nothing for me.

Thank you, sir.

This is a this is a public hearing.

Is there anyone from the public that would like to address the council on the South Valley Mosquito Abin District proposed tax increase?

All right, seeing no takers, we'll close a public comment.

And I'm assuming that's all you needed was a public hearing.

I thank you, gentlemen, for coming.

Appreciate your work.

Kill as many of them as you can.

Thank you.

Next item 6B.

It's a public hearing regarding the providing of local consent for a limited service restaurant license for the Little Thai Kitchen LLC.

We'll have Travis give us a report.

Go ahead, sir.

Okay.

So limited service restaurant license for little tight kitchen.

Here's the overview.

Um it's on 123rd, Draper Peaks.

So they want a limited service restaurant, and that allows restaurants to store sell, serve wine, beer, heavy beer alongside a food purchase.

And here are the distance requirements.

So community locations, which are schools, churches, public libraries, public playgrounds, and parks have to be at least 300 feet away measured by shortest pedestrian route, and they have to be at least 200 feet away measured by the straight line from the entrance of the restaurant.

So here's the 300-foot shortest pedestrian route.

It is very, very far away.

Um more than 3,000 feet to that park.

So they meet that standard.

And then obviously the straight line measurement.

There's no community location anywhere near that.

So that standards met.

Now the action is to provide local good center, deny local consent.

And our code says we can't put any limit on the number of limited service restaurant license.

Uh we can grant.

Any questions for Travis?

All right, thank you, Travis.

Is the is the applicant here?

Not seeing them, okay.

This is a public hearing.

Item six B the providing of local consent for a limited service restaurant license for little Tie Kitchen LLC.

Anyone from the public would like to address the council on this item.

All right, seeing none, we'll close the public hearing.

Bring this back to the council.

Mr.

Mayor, go ahead, sir.

I make a motion that we approve item six B providing local consent for a limited service restaurant license for Little Thai Kitchen LLC.

A motion by Mr.

Lowry to approve item six B is their second.

I'll second.

Second by Mr.

Green.

Any further discussion.

All right, seeing none, Mr.

Larry, how do you vote?

Yes.

Mr.

Green.

Yes.

Ms.

Lowry?

Ms.

Vodry.

Yes.

Ms.

Johnson.

Yes.

Items approved unanimously five to zero.

Takes us item six C.

It's also a public hearing.

Resolution 2565.

It's a resolution amending the adopted budget of Draper City for fiscal year 2025-2026.

Mr.

Vik, go ahead, sir.

Um, this is a really short budget amendment.

There are three items from the fire department that uh we are going to address tonight.

Um, the first and really um probably the most pressing is that we received a grant.

Uh actually we received two grants.

Um, the first grant was from the uh state of Utah Department of Natural Resources, the Division of Forestry and Fire Service.

Um that grant is for a hundred and nineteen thousand dollars nine hundred and one one nine nine forty total.

Um the grant requires some in-kind services uh to match, and the second grant is a ten thousand dollar match.

Both of these are for um fuels mitigation, and so uh we're just trying to get some grant uh trying to get the funding.

So what we're we'll what we will do in the budget amendment tonight is to recognize the grant revenue as well as to set up some costs so that the fire department can uh use the to take care of the supplies they need to do the mitigation.

So that's uh item 26-10, 26-11 is uh the fire department has some stretchers that they use.

Match both of these are for um fuels mitigation and so uh we're just trying to get some grant uh trying to get the funding so what we're we'll what we will do in the budget amendment tonight is to recognize the grant revenue um as well as to set up some costs so that the fire department can uh use the to take care of the supplies they need to do the mitigation so that's uh item 26 10 26 11 is uh the fire department has some stretchers that they use um we have a maintenance agreement on those stretchers um the the maintenance agreement is a three-year agreement for 29,133 um this year there's a nine thousand seven hundred dollar amount that they are requesting funding uh for uh within their current budget and then lastly um we are set to get a new fire engine in May as we get that engine it comes without equipment and so we need to be able to put some of the equipment on there.

Um this amendment is written for 22,100 dollars um which is the cost to put on the fire hose nozzles and other equipment um but there is also a need for some additional equipment um as I've talked with Chief Smith um that's probably about another thirty thousand dollars so tonight we're bringing 221 um I would suggest that in order to get that fire equipment and everything done we really need 52,100 dollars so um if you see fit to do that I would say just make a motion to amend the this to 52100 so that additional equipment is additional hose and other items that are going to go onto the equipment yeah this new apparatus that we will receive next year will be in addition to our existing fleet so we will not be pulling anything off of our existing engine so we'll need to completely outfit it um and the total to do that will be just again that 51000 or excuse me 52100 uh and that is for all of the small hand tools hoses nozzles uh all of the equipment needed we pull that from the general fund yes it'll come from the general fund fund balance okay and that balance is what um uh at a as of the end of last fiscal year we sat at 34.6 percent is really so the state maximum is 35 percent so okay the auditors here he'll come up and tell you that exact number is that it so that is everything on this budget amendment correct all right any questions for John all right thank you john all right uh this is a public hearing sick item six on our agenda resolution 2565 amending uh the adopted budget of draper city for fiscal year 2526 anything from the public like to address the council on this item art seeing none we'll close public hearing bring it back to the council mr mayor I would like to approve resolution 25-66 with the inclusion of the $52100 for the fire apparatus all right we have a motion by Ms.

It is a compatible land use.

Um RA going from RA1 to RA2, RA2 is compatible.

The overview of the request, of course, it is a uh 40,000 square foot uh minimum lot size, changing that to a 20,000 square foot minimum lot size.

The uh um description of the um zone is actually identical, RA1 and RA2 have the same description.

Here's a site photo uh the uh 1360 east, one three two zero zero south side, and the other property that's on one three two three nine south, one three zero zero east.

Uh it to go before the planning commission on November 13th and receive a positive recommendation, and that is my presentation.

Any questions for Nick?

I do have a question.

Um I I just am curious because it's two lots, parcels that kind of intersect like in an L, how the configuration of the three homes might the three lots might look.

Because it looks like there's the they could access perhaps one from Victor Lane, if that's what they are gonna do.

Um to answer that.

I uh I would recommend uh speaking with the applicant who is here tonight.

Um they may be able to give you some more details on the design of the of the um plant subdivision, but um they've not yet submitted an application for that.

Okay.

Any other questions?

All right, thank you, Nick.

Is the applicant are the applicants or is there are they here?

You can address the council now, or you can wait till after public comment or however you want.

Your call.

We need to all right.

Come on, give us your name and address.

We'll be glad to hear from you.

Hi, my name is Burke Plummer, currently the residing at 1328.

I'm sorry, would you grab that mic, say that again, a little clear yeah?

Um name's Burke Plummer.

Okay.

Uh address 13258 Nashy Lane and Draper.

Okay, go ahead.

And I own both pieces of the property.

This is Francine Contreras from benchmark engineering who's done the plat for the three lots we talked about.

And she can share that with you if you want to see the actual plat we had or we want to assume we're trying to make three lots out of two.

We uh there's two homes, the one on 1360 east and the one on um 132 seconds south, put half acre lots in there, and there's another acre lot and a half that we want to build ourselves on.

So uh it would make uh two half acre lots and a little bit larger lot for a third kind of L-shaped lot that we would build on.

All right, council members, any questions for applicant?

So are you are you keeping the one home that is on 13th east?

The existing home that one's the way home stay there for now.

And then you mentioned Victor Lane.

Uh we do have we hope to have an access to that lot possibly.

It is off it does access from 1300 right now.

We have the right if the Dapor City approved it to access it from the other side if in the future.

Okay, thank you.

Any other questions?

Why is the current existing zoning not sufficient?

Uh it's an acre, so uh they just wouldn't fit.

I mean, we need more space for uh, I mean the the current one.

Move a little closer to that mic if you will.

The current lot on 1360 east is an acre, 1.4 acres, and has a couple of barns on it, plus a wood home.

And so we'd have to to ask to build on that lot, we would have to tear down that home, which we don't want to do.

It's still functional, and something we want to keep, so we have to make a new lot to be able to build on that lot.

We currently don't reside on that lot.

It's uh it's a with personal use property, but so am I answering your question?

Yeah.

So we we we we're we currently live just this is our backyard basically from a coggy farms across the trail, and we would want to build a home, own the property for for 13, 14 years, but it's kind of always been in our plan to build there one day.

Okay.

Any other questions?

So maybe the last one.

I guess the idea is to combine these two parcels together as RA2.

Yeah, correct.

Yeah, so we'll make three lots out of two.

So it will continue the RA2.

Yes.

It fits with the RA2 on two sides.

And the fact that there's an existing home.

I think that overcomes the presumption that you want to keep the existing home.

Any other questions for the applicant?

All right, sir.

We'll give you the last word after the uh after the public hearing if need be.

All right.

This is a public hearing.

It's ordinance number 1683, uh amending the official zoning map of Draper City for 1.31 acres of property located at 1360 east, 13200 south 0.97 acres of property located at one third 13239 South 1300 east.

It's known as the plumber zoning map amendment.

Anyone from the public like to address the council on this item?

All right.

Seeing no public comment, we'll close the public comment period and bring it back to the council.

Mr.

Mayor.

Go ahead.

I move we adopt ordinance number sixteen eighty-three.

Motion by Miss Faudry to adopt ordinance six sixteen eighty-three is their second.

I'll second.

Second by Ms.

Lowry to adopt it.

Is there any further discussion?

All right, hearing of Ms.

Fodry, how do you vote?

Yes.

Ms.

Lowry?

Mr.

Green.

Yes.

Mr.

Lowry.

Yes.

Ms.

Johnson.

Yes.

Items approved unanimously five to zero.

Takes us to item number six E, which is also a public hearing.

It's ordinance 1684 and ordinance 1685.

It's an ordinance amending the official land use map and an ordinance amending the official zoning map of Draper City for approximately 0.89 acres of property located 1394 east, 12900 south, known as the Fetzer Land Use Map and Zoning Map Amendments.

Staff report by Nick Whitaker.

Nick, go ahead, sir.

Thank you.

Um yes, again again, this is the FETSER land use and zoning map amendment uh request.

Um the subject property is here uh in the center.

Here's an aerial map of the subject property.

Uh land use map.

The current land use is residential low medium density.

And a zoning map, uh the current zoning is RA2, which is a um uh allows for 20,000 uh a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet.

Um the applicant is proposing to change the our uh amend the land use map from uh low medium density to medium density the reason for um changing the uh the request to change the land use um is to allow for a an amendment to the zoning.

Uh the applicant would like to change the current zoning, which is RA2.

Again, that's 20,000 square foot minimum lot size to R3, um which is a 13,000 square foot minimum lot size.

Uh as an overview again, the RA2 residential agricultural is a 20,000 square foot minimum lot size.

R3 is a 13,000 square foot minimum lot size.

The summary of um well the R3 zoning would allow for the uh creation of one additional lot as illustrated here.

Um again, a single family residential lot would have a minimum in the R3 zone of 13,000 square feet.

Um the purpose of the request is to allow the applicant to age in place.

The request is consistent with goal and uh I'm sorry, H N4 of the Draper City Master Plan, which is to provide a wide range of housing for different life stages and income levels and support the development of a full range of housing for seniors to age in place.

Um the planning commission heard this item on the 13th of November and uh provided a positive recommendation.

Here is a picture of the subject property, and that uh is my presentation.

Questions for Nick?

A question, Nick.

If uh if this is changed to an RA three, what is the possibility of that becoming having three units on that uh property?

Well um so the the current property the size of it is 0.89 acres, which is approximately uh 38,78 square feet.

Um it would I mean the most it can get right now would be two.

Is there any other adjustments in any of the boundaries that could allow that to have three um if they were to increase the lot size that that would that that could be an option, however, that would require of course uh purchasing more land from neighboring properties?

I guess my question is is any of the adjacent properties would then make them non-conforming then though.

Um so let me do the zoning map here.

Um the adjacent properties would remain um RA2 across the street.

You have RA3.

Um it would just be this property here would be R3.

Um and if they were to do a subdivision, you'd have two properties then that would be R3, and with that lot size, you you wouldn't be able to get more than two lots with R3.

Okay, thank you.

Any other questions for Nick?

All right, thank you, Nick.

I have you back.

Is the applicant here?

Would you like to address the council?

Come on up, sir.

Give us your name and address.

Try and talk right into that mic if you could.

Oh well.

My name is Robert Fetser.

My wife Debbie and I own the home and property at 1394 East, 129 South.

We've lived here 20 years.

We we love our home, our neighborhood, our neighbors very much, and we want to remain in our home as long as we can and age in place.

Um before the maintenance of our home and property becomes too difficult for us.

We want to secure our future to our best advantage.

So we are requesting a map amendment and the rezoning of our property from R2 to R3 to give ourselves the option of subdividing.

We have invested several thousand dollars in seeking to become eligible for this privilege.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Hang on, just one second.

Any any questions for the applicant, council members?

Yeah, the same question.

I ask everyone why is the existing zoning not proper?

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you.

Why is the existing zoning not proper?

What fact says that the current zoning is presumed to be correct?

So, in order to overcome that presumption, I need some type of fact as to why we would change that.

Does that make sense?

My understanding is that it is not that the zoning is not proper.

It's just that we have as a family discuss the possibility that um a daughter or a member of the family might at some point um purchase the subdivided lot on 129 South and then provide nurture and care by maintaining the property for us when we reach that that stage of life where we can no longer do that adequately, and also to look after our personal needs.

So that is some background information.

Okay.

Any other questions?

We may have you back up if we need to, but thank you.

All right.

This is a public hearing.

And I'm and 1685.

Um is there a in a member from the anybody from the public that would like to address the council on this item?

Come on up, give us your name and address.

Good evening, council.

Uh, my name's Ryan Swap.

I live at 1388 East 129 South.

It's the property that's just below the red outline properties where I live.

Um my main uh concern with this property, I outlined it in an email that I sent to all of you, is primarily that this property is just a few hundred square feet short of uh if it's zoned to R3 with 13,000 minimum lots, all that would need be needed is a few hundred uh square feet extra to be able to put three lots on that lane um or a minor variance.

All that would need be needed is a few hundred uh square feet extra to be able to put three lots on that lane or a minor variance, and uh with with the nature and character of of that lane, um it would effectively uh just just change and destroy basically what what my wife and I hope to purchase when we move there.

Um if if you I think there were some photos of the lane itself, but it's a single direction lane.

Um it's not capable of supporting more than the existing homes that are there, and uh an additional concern that I have is that it's uh what I believe would constitute spot zoning.

All the properties south of 129 south are zoned as RA1 or RA2.

Um, and and with the exception of a couple homes across the street in an area that is very designed for smaller lots, it uh and is appropriate for R3.

Everything else is designed for RA2 and RA1.

So I I believe it would be inconsistent with the general plan to uh move this from RA2 to R3.

So anyways, thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Anyone else?

Come on up.

Thank you, Council Sean Steinman, 3560 East, Kings Coast Circle.

So I typically really love projects like this.

However, my concern with this project is this is a uh private lane that is currently servicing two homes, in which these two homes being serviced, they have you know a handshake maintenance agreement on how to maintain the lane, and if this were to be approved, if this home and this subdivision sells, it could potentially turn into three lots, in which now there's going to be additional constraints, and this is not going to be maintained by the city, but this is a private lane.

So snow removal and all of the work done on this lane would be raising concern.

And I think that density has its place, uh, and I think density has its place within Draper City's uh regulations as well as their zoning.

And I don't believe that making and changing the integrity of a private lane on a flag lot is the place to add density, especially when it affects families and the life and safety of families and adding the additional traffic.

This is a tight lane right now, and if the remote possibility of adding three additional residences here is even possible, the you know, life and safety of the family in the back, as well as all of those families that would live in that space, could definitely be at risk.

On top of that, uh you start looking at just the precedent that it would set within your city.

You know, flag lots, there's a lot of flag lots like this, and if you do start setting this precedent, you know, you're going to have major issues into the future that could definitely result into concerns for other residents and having to come and fight these types of things.

Uh I believe right now, based on what the current applicants' requests are, it can be accomplished today by just buy right zoning.

And that has to do with the ADU clause.

And currently, and what I have talked to the planner on with this property, uh, all of the lots would have to face that private lane.

So they're not even going to be facing 129 south.

However, the applicant today could build another home on their lot as an ADU and would be able to age in place and be able to do exactly what they're trying to accomplish.

So I think that by changing the zoning, we don't know whose hands that this property would be in in the next 25 years, and they decide to change it to three separate lots, or maybe buy even more properties and try to change it in a different council in a different space.

It could definitely risk the integrity of this neighborhood and the space.

And uh, I think there's going to be a lot that can be accomplished just by putting an ADU here and allowing that family to you know live and age in place appropriately, and I think that would be a great route.

So those are my thoughts on this, and thank you so much for your time.

Thank you.

Anyone else like to address the council on this item?

All right, seeing no further public comment, we'll close a public hearing.

Bring this back to the council.

Mr.

Mayor, I've got a question for Mr.

Fetzer first.

The applicant the applicant, yeah.

Sir, come on up to the microphone again if you would.

Would you be opposed to uh a development agreement that just be two lots if it was to approve an RA3 so that there would only be two lots on that property?

Um right now, right?

Okay without having a chance to sit down with it.

It would just limit you to only putting two houses on your property.

You would only be able to keep your current house and add a second house.

So it would be akin to switching you to the R2 zoning, half acre lot zonings, for which you don't have quite enough land, but under development agreement, we could offer something like that.

If I might add something, sorry.

Hold on.

Staff whoa, everybody take a break here for a second.

Okay, we're at order.

Um your question is you want to you guys want to know if you'll do a development agreement.

We've never considered okay.

That's not really in front of us.

May I go ahead?

Yeah.

I I just needed um to have an understanding with my wife.

You you can understand that I didn't want to make a comment or make a pronouncement without that input.

You know what?

It has not ever been our intent to do more than create a two lot situation here.

We we would not wish for it to be subdivided into anything smaller than just the two lot arrangement.

So that's why I ask Mayor by the development agreement, it then allows you to have the two just the two lots.

Um, but then you have to change that zoning to RA three to make it conform.

And that that's that's just my request.

Then it helps you fulfill that intent.

Nick, come back up, go ahead.

Yeah.

Do we want to continue this to discuss that?

It's up to you guys.

We're gonna make a motion to do it.

So the the uh the reason why he's requesting R3, at least with what has been submitted, is because uh the lot size would not allow for uh uh subdividing the property into a two lots.

The n the next zoning type or the the closest zoning um designation available is an R3.

If there was 11 if there was eleven acres on that lot, they would have enough to just cut it right in half and be with the RA2 zoning.

Um the uh I mean adding the uh um changing it to R3, I think it would be the most uh straightforward way of creating a two-lot subdivision.

Um based upon the available zoning designations that we have in our menu of options in our code.

Um it would also allow you to access one of those properties from 1290, you wouldn't have to use the M private lane.

Even though it doesn't meet the can the conforming of the zone, I'd I'd like to uh just clarify something.

Uh Nick, can you go back to the image that showed the put up at the potential lot or the aerial that you had?

Um the subdivision code um does not and zoning code does not allow for the private lanes and driveway easements to count towards your minimum lot size.

So if you're looking at the overall acreage of that property, um three lots would be very tight, but when you take out the the acreage that the access uh lane encompasses, there's no way to get three lots on that property with that R3 zone.

But but what about it if you acquired other space adjacent to that property?

That uh would always be a possibility.

Um I I can't say that would never happen.

They'd have to rezone that section that they purchase.

Um the homes on either side are are pretty close to that property line though, so doesn't look like they have much land to give.

I don't know.

To me, I I would maybe we continue this or you can make a motion, Mr.

Lowry, if you want to continue it.

You guys have the power.

What I'm hearing from Jen is that even if we were to give the R3, there's no possibility of it splitting into three.

Is that correct, John?

Correct.

So if that's the concern, it's kind of addressed.

Even if they tear down both houses.

Yeah.

There's also access on 129 that resolves the private lane problem.

Right.

If that's a problem.

I'll give the benefit to the landover on this one.

I'm fine with the third acres.

I'm fine with our three.

I'll give the benefit of the landowner because I think Jennifer's mitigated the risk concern I've had.

So is your motion then to approve uh ordinance 1684 and 1685?

Mr.

Mayor, I'll move to approve it.

All right, I'll just make the make the decision and then we'll see what the council goes with.

All right, motion by Mr.

Green to approve item 6E ordinance 1684 and 685.

Is there a second?

I'll second second by Miss Vaudry.

Okay, any further discussion on it.

Mr.

Green, how do you vote?

Yes, Ms.

Vaudrey.

Yes.

Lowry.

Mr.

Lowry.

Yes.

Ms.

Johnson.

Yes.

Items approved unanimously five to zero.

Takes it to item number seven, which moves us into action.

Item 7A is the first one.

It's approval of resolution 2566, the resolution of accepting the city of Draper audit and annual comprehensive financial report, the ACFR for fiscal year ending June 30th, 2025.

Mr.

Vike, go ahead, sir.

I'm gonna come up and turn the mic over to our auditor.

Um is here with us from uh HBME.

So Rob Thanks, John.

Pleasure to be with you, Mr.

Mayor, Council.

Uh we appreciate the opportunity to provide these services to the city each and every year.

We've worked hard, we've completed the fiscal year 25 uh financial audit as required by the state of Utah, and happy to give you that report tonight.

Uh in the financial statement.

We'll this start with our independent auditors report.

The reason that people are looking at the audit.

After we've audited the governmental activities, the business activities, each of the major funds, and the aggregate remaining fund information for the city.

We find that you are in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles, and we don't feel there's any material misstatements.

We did have several adjustments that we made with the city.

Any adjustments that we found management agreed to record and have presented in these financial statements as such.

So that is the basically it's the best opinion.

I as an independent auditor can give your organization.

Maybe it's for some clarification uh on some information.

The financial statements in their entirety are extensive, they're law, and there's a lot of information contained there in the management discussion and analysis is prepared by management, and this is one of the only places that you will find a comparison information between what happened in the current year for 2025 and what happened in the previous year.

So as you can see from our governmental activity standpoint, which is all our governmental funds, general fund included, uh total assets has remained about the same between the two fiscal years.

Uh same with long-term liabilities.

Uh, they're relatively not much of a change.

There is a decrease in the long-term line in total liabilities overall.

If you look towards the bottom on total net position, net petition net position has increased by about four million dollars this past year.

In your business activities, uh, you've also seen an increase in total net position going from 95.7 to 98.7 million dollars.

If you want to see how that got there between the two years, here is a uh snapshot of uh what you can maybe refer out in the public sector as an income statement.

Revenues for governmental activities were at 68.7 million dollars compared to expenses down below was 60.9 million dollars.

And then after you had your transfers in and out net of 4.2 million dollars, they ended the year with a 4.2 million dollar increase in 24.

That was a 3.3 million dollar increase.

Your business type activities.

We don't need to ask AI for assistance there.

They actually had an increase of three million dollars this year and uh nearly break even in fiscal year 24.

So overall, the city has good financial health uh when you look at the funds in their entirety.

Now maybe more specific to what you guys do as a council and what you hear more like John presented tonight on some budget amendments for the general fund.

Um here's the revenue.

In fact, I'll actually I'll back up first because one of the points that was brought up is your general fund balance, and John mentioned this percentage.

One of the things that the state looks at, they want to know when you put your committed, your assigned and your unassigned for you as a city.

The only thing you have in your general fund is unassigned fund balance.

They want you to compare that 18.9 that 18.9 million dollar number.

We'll just bring it up to your total revenues for the general fund at this 54.8 million dollars.

That represents a 34.62 percent um unassigned committed and uh unassigned fund balance compared to the state law.

State law lets you have that between five percent at minimum to 35 percent maximum.

Anything above 35 percent would technically be a state compliance finding.

So the city has got a straw basically a strong healthy position.

If we were to look at the governmental funds just real quickly, you look going across the bottom on your fund balances.

You have 41 million dollars in the general fund, about 19 million dollars of that is unassigned, 15 million dollars in the capital project fund, uh, your RDA fund has 21 million dollars, and your other non-major governmental funds, which includes your impact fees, your debt service fund, uh the Travers Ridge Special Service District is a blended component unit in your organization, all total up to 11 million dollars.

So overall, your governmental funds have a healthy balance.

If we flip the the script and go down a few more pages to your proprietary funds and look at the same thing on total net position, that bottom row indicates all of your uh proprietary funds have a positive fund balance and are operating within their means.

I will point out the ambulance fund, they do have show a 2.7 million dollars, but they are heavily subsidized because they just don't collect enough fees to offset the costs in that fund, even though they are counted as a proprietary fund.

Overall, if you were to look at your uh income statement for your proprietary funds, bottom line change in net position, uh positive across all the board except sort of the solid waste, and that's mainly due to projects and repair and maintenance stuff that happens throughout the city, and those are more set fees, not based on a it's a set user fee charge rather than a rate that goes out.

Uh maybe I'd ask does the council have any questions or information that they would like to hear rather than me just going over some numbers and so forth.

I think I'm good.

I think I'm satisfied with your report.

Okay, I'll jump right to the end.

We give two more uh reports at the very end on page one thirty-one of the financial statement.

It's a report on your uh compliance with governmental auditing standards and accounting standards.

Happy to report we didn't find any discrepancies in the city's policies and procedures.

Uh the segregation of duties and your best efforts to maintain compliance with grants, agreements, and so forth.

So that it's not an opinion, but we didn't find any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, control deficiencies that we need to report to you as a body.

The final report is required by the state auditor's office.

They break their stuff into two sections.

There's stuff we have to test every year, such as budget amendments that was printed tonight, the adoption of a budget, and making sure that management is complying with what you set as final budget.

So that increase he's looking at tonight for $51,000.

That goes in, and we make sure that the the city doesn't spend more than what you approve for appropriation.

Uh happy to report that each of your governmental funds and even the proprietary funds that are not in these financial statements from a budget perspective were under budget, so they stayed within the appropriations that you as a body set.

We also look at stuff uh the fund balance percentage or below 35%, enrollment and URS recording of minutes, publishing those on a state website that's done by the recorder, and so forth.

So happy to report all the stuff that we tested this year.

That item is approved unanimously five to zero.

Item seven C is next.

It's uh it's uh the approval of ordinance number sixteen eighty-two.

It's an ordinance in the city council amending title seven and ten of the Draper City Municipal Code requiring the requirements for fire sprinklers under the Draper City Fire and Construction Codes.

Spencer, go ahead, sir.

Thank you, Mayor.

Um, I'd like to start out by giving credit where credit's due.

Jonah Peterson in our building department was the one who noticed that our code was deficient and worked really carefully and closely on uh this amendment.

He's not here presenting today because he didn't want to present and asked me if I'd do it.

So I said sure.

Um so what we have here is just uh we're updating our fire code to be compliant with the state fire code.

The way the state fire code is adopted is it has adopted the uh international fire code in its entirety, but excluded some things out, and then left it up to the various jurisdictions to adopt any appendixes or appendices to the uh to their own fire code.

So the part that they had left out was a part that required fire sprinklers under the international fire code.

Fire sprinklers are required under certain circumstances.

The state fire code said uh when we when the state adopted it, it said, well, we'll adopt the international fire code, but we'll leave out this part that requires fire sprinklers and leave it up to the various jurisdictions to drop their own ordinance uh to see whether to require fire sprinklers under these circumstances.

So we didn't have an ordinance that uh allowed us to require fire sprinklers under those circumstances.

Uh the adoption of this ordinance cre uh creates an opportunity for us to enforce that part of the international fire code where we do require fire sprinklers.

Um it's under these certain circumstances that you have before you in exhibit A, and I'm sure you've all had the chance to review the code.

Um a couple of other things that we did is we fixed uh some nomenclature that's in here in in uh section A.

It's the code council, not the conference of building officials.

That was an outdated term that our code was using.

Uh we fixed a grammatical error right here instead of and that should have read as adopted.

Uh this part including all appendices there too, was problematic because the state code specifically left out appendices.

So if we include all the appendices as adopted by the state code, we include no appendices.

Uh and our uh fire department wanted to include most of the appendices.

So we included all the appendices that uh were asked for by the fire department, and then we fixed some capitalization errors here that we have in our code, and then we eliminated this part of the fire code from our building code because it was superfluous.

Do you have any questions?

All right, any questions, Mr.

Mayor?

Mr.

Green.

Move we approve ordinance 1682, amending title seven and ten of the Draper City Municipal Code regarding the requirement for fire sprinklers.

A motion by Mr.

Green is there a second.

I'll second.

Second by Miss Vaudry.

Any further discussion?

Mr.

Green, how do you vote?

Yes.

Ms.

Vodry.

Yes.

Uh Mr.

Lowry?

Yes.

Ms.

Johnson?

Yes.

Items approved unanimously.

I get everybody.

Yeah.

Miss Lowry.

Miss Lowry.

Felt like it wasn't all the way there.

Now Adams approved unanimously five to zero.

See, I could feel that there was one off.

Yeah.

Indeed.

All right.

We had uh we didn't get through council manager stuff in the study meeting.

Is there anybody has anything to bring up?

Um from that regard.

I I don't have anything, Mayor.

Anyone?

Oh, wait, I do have something for uh street.

Um 138 South, right by Bangater Highway, we've got all these road work ahead signs, and there is one sticking right on the curb.

If you want to on the north side of the street on 138 south, right by the open field there before Bangater.

That I don't even know what road construction is going on, but it's kind of a hazard, and a lot of people have to swerve around that.

And I'm just wondering, is there a way we can get that sign moved closer onto the sidewalk, or does it is it still needed?

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, I'll take a look tomorrow and see it's probably not recruited from swerved around it.

Yeah, it's and it's kind of a problem.

I think it just shifted from the embridge work on 300 east, so I'll take a look.

If it's not necessary, we'll just pick it up and let it know.

It'd be a good way to avoid maybe some accidents.

Okay.

Thank you.

Anyone else?

Go ahead.

Mr.

Smith.

Uh just want to remind the mayor and council we are we have a uh brand new engine uh that we've secured in this fiscal year.

Uh that we are going to be putting that into service on Thursday, so two just two days from now.

We are uh we have scheduled a push-in ceremony, uh, which is tradition in the fire service when you have a new apparatus that goes into service.

So we have that scheduled for Wednesday or excuse me, Thursday at 4 p.m.

up at the Suncrest station.

That's where that new engine will be housed.

Uh we're inviting the public and obviously would like to have the any of the council and mayor um that are available to attend and uh share on that day with us.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

Anyone else?

All right, is there a motion to adjourn?

So moved.

My motion by Mr.

Green, second.

Second.

All in favor of adjournment say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

All right, we stand adjourned.

Thank you.
