Oh, time point for said meeting to begin.

I'm calling it to order.

Welcome everyone.

Um looks like we have a need for a closed session.

No.

No.

That's just gonna show up on the on the agenda in case we need it.

Okay.

All right.

Um then uh dispensary.

And then now we're going to have a a special event committee arena committee presentation by Miss Kelly.

Or just a discussion, really.

Okay, I I just need some direction on the special event arena committee.

So they've had um they only have like um five members that are valid current right now, two of which come.

So they have two members, they have four members that are expired, so they think maybe two of those want to renew.

So they're looking at like a committee of like four to five people.

So we're just trying to decide if we can if you guys want us to if if we want to keep them, or is there is there a reason that we're trying to have a hard time finding members because they're they don't have this much to do.

They do the rodeo, the horse bolt, and the monster truck, and then they've been helping at the holiday market.

Yeah, they signed up for the holiday market.

Um I think there's like a couple that are planning on.

Yeah, because I know they've enjoyed doing that in the past.

Um so I mean, I talked to David today, he said, you know, we can look at if we wanna you know, try utilizing the arena more, we can bring on like a demo derby car show, maybe concerts.

But then you also run into like does David Wilkes have the bandwidth to do a bunch of more events and what's the budget like.

Um, you know, we could bring food trucks back there one evening since we've paid for that nice awning.

They were helping with that, but now they're not doing that.

That's kind of what happens to tell you if I can just interject real quick where they were really involved as a committee.

And um then you can interject anything what Doug's talked to you about.

But when we were doing the food trucks and all of that stuff, then they were energized by all that, and then when we moved it, which they all understood the reason, it makes more sense over there, but I think they lost some momentum because it's like, oh now we're and they they have offered to want to help at other events, which I think the group did that people like at that time they offered you like, hey, we'll help the the down at the park for the food trucks.

But of course, then we signed with it and you wanted they don't need anybody, yeah.

So I think there was a lot of momentum lost where they didn't really feel like they're needed.

So yeah, there's like there's I mean two or three.

And then we have volunteers that haven't come, then we have a lot of staff that's already there helping, and so then they think oh I brought these people and now that's been a big thing.

I think that's then one of the problems that the people have lost interest.

I mean the history here, the reason that committees came to do that job.

There was an arena committee that didn't do anything, but because we're trying to have events at the facility.

But it doesn't make any sense to have events that aren't making any money.

I mean, I'm not thinking we should add things that the city keeps paying for if they don't make any money.

So I I don't know.

I think Wilkes is pretty tapped out with so many meetings.

But I think the events we've had, they have made money this last couple years.

The rodeo does, the monster truck does, yeah.

Those those two.

Um is there space on community engagement?

Because it kind of seems like the same purpose really.

And we we thought about that too.

If we could just make kind of a welcoming events committee.

Right now, community engagement has eleven.

There's a couple more I could see dropping off.

We could maybe get to the eleven number at some point.

Um I mean, could you expand that committee to have it be a part of the reina?

And then are you concerned about that being two years?

Well, I think to engage an events, right?

And put them both together because engagement really does synchro to Mayo Arts and Crafts.

I mean so I think we're we're losing some of them also just because we're not doing as much.

It used to, you know, when it was diversity, it was a little more focused and but you'd have to change the code if you had more than to have more than eleven unless we change the code, but well, is that hard to do.

How many people are on there's eleven active right now?

Um on the community engagement.

There's ten, pretty active.

There's maybe two that would probably say they could be done.

So nine really active work, right?

Because you only have two that are really active.

I have yeah, like three that are really ready to keep going on the arena.

So we could almost get it to who do you have listed as the three that are active?

I have um and Ben, and then Mark is expired, but he's he he wants to continue.

Yeah, Mark's been great.

Yeah, so I have those three that seem really um engaged, Stefania, Ben, and Mark, and then I have Steph Stephanie and Oliver and Katie that we have we need to see if they want to rein.

And Stephanie's been really helpful involved.

She lost a lot of momentum with removing stuff, but she'll be great.

And Katie um is you know is very helpful with the the rodeo and things like that.

I don't know and where we're at there, I don't know either.

She would she probably want to be renewed, I would assume.

But she's very helpful with rodeo.

Yeah, she's done it a lot of years.

Well, she helps her create issues sometimes.

So we just yeah, which I'm I haven't been made privy to.

I've heard that there's been issues, but no one's discussed them with me, so I don't know how to address it.

No, I mean, and then there's some other cities like I know Buffalo Harriman, they just hire a guy to run the rodeo.

He does the sponsorships they did.

So then gets the volunteers, so that if we took that away, then it'd be even less for them to do, but my concern is if we do that, I think we have to be prepared.

I I'd hate to lose all the goodwill we have, like with all those red shirt group and stuff that have helped that home for so many years.

Yeah.

David said he thinks they'll continue no matter what.

I don't know.

I don't I think we if we did somewhere we had just totally eliminated that arena board and and if we said hey can things but no things.

I think we could have some damn good that redshirt group.

I really do.

So what does Mascaro do if you don't have them?

Well, I think they put that as a responsibility of the city.

Yeah, we're sponsoring them, yeah.

But we've had some of the things.

Or they would charge us too, right?

Like, didn't someone get terribly injured one year?

Yeah, yeah.

Or the bull rider, the poll riders only.

What does the red shirt group do?

They run the all of the time events, help with the rough stock as far as the um removing all of the rough clock gear and helping with moving the the livestock around.

And they are all different records.

Not all of them.

All they have draper connections.

It's been they've been doing it for 20 years.

I don't think everyone's just gonna walk away.

If that board goes away.

If they're still used to function for a long time without an arena committee.

What?

We functioned a long time without an arena committee.

It's relatively new.

Don't know if we can keep a committee alive.

Only two or three people are showing up to the meetings.

Well, you even hitting quorum.

No.

So they haven't been able to meet since like September.

That's ridiculous.

Well that just becomes a waste of people's time.

Tosh, there hasn't been any reason for them to do it anything since September because there isn't any number of then for them until the following July.

Right.

So that's why it would make sense to combine them with community engagement to work.

Right.

It sounds like they only have like three months or six weeks of activity.

I mean they could specialize within that community engagement to be like the rodeo specialist or what have you.

Yeah.

And help with the the course poll and the monster truck and things like that.

But there's been a lot of times these meetings have been canceled.

There's been, you know, right, or the the time of the meetings scheduled have been cancelled.

Um and then a lot of the people the reason why maybe you're showing someone not coming is because there isn't anything on the agenda form to really cover.

Right, right.

Just speaks to the need to maybe combine them.

I'm not against combining them.

I'd be against just dismantling it and just telling those that it's been part of it to not have them.

It's kind of a lot of work too to have the committee with doing the agendas and the minutes and maybe if we could make it just more of a non you know, a quasi committee that helps in the summer.

Well and if we're doing an a new committee, we could just ask everyone to reapply for it, even if they're yeah, we could tell community engagement like it's gonna, you know, change a little bit, we'd like you to help at all these different events and some may love it, some may not, but that's an idea.

Everyone has to reapply, then you're not gonna be able to do that.

You can get functional treatment like do you know what I mean?

You're not saying engagement gets to stay, but arena doesn't get to say priority and go to those currently serving in some capacity.

But we may want to consider expanding it beyond eleven hold.

Didn't we try and make all of them the same so they're all eleven?

Yeah.

I think Kelly's right, I think some people with engagement, there is some that we haven't really seen in the last few months, and I do think if we're changing kind of the direction, there might be people who were really excited about the welcoming and g kind of engaging multicultural, you know, identity, and if that's not the only focus.

Yeah, I think there's people like Stephanie and on that event committee that would welcome this.

There was discussion about them wanting to be a part of doing the kind of thing.

The community engagement is community engagement committee.

So I think that's a good thing.

So if you want to expand the role of the community engagement committee and have them and have everyone apply it's gonna be more work than just what maybe some make it have a cover against all of it.

And then get rid of the special event arena.

And you could maybe have people who you know, if there's a volunteer sign up, maybe they only sign up for the arena events because that's what they're passionate about, but that's set out, you know, just to a group of volunteers.

The community engagement has ten.

This one has maybe four.

But it would be like engagement and events.

Change it combined.

Yes.

Is that if I name it?

Logistically.

And I think it makes sense to Fred's point to put people in charge, you know, like you were kind of insinuating, like if someone really knows the rodeo or someone who really cares about multicultural festival, you know.

It it's helpful to have someone be like the head person over that event to really take leadership of that.

But if there's people that have been like on the events committee or on the I mean on the arena committee that we've had an issue with that have been problems, it I'd be helpful for me to be aware of it so that I know if there's something that I can help address.

So maybe we America can share it with me one on one later or something.

I think it's only fair so that I know how to help.

I don't know what I don't know.

So do three or you want to combine the two?

I'm saying two of those things looks like you have four.

Try to keep it as an eleven member committee and keep the code the same unless we have a problem and we have too many, and then we could look at changing that.

Okay.

Is eleven enough though for all of those additional community mean it really depends on what I mean?

Yeah, would that change all like more than eleven?

I don't think so.

You could you could draft it so you would make exceptions.

Okay.

Okay, so that's a direction.

Do you feel like you have your direction check for your back room?

Oh yeah, okay.

Next item is uh Mr.

Cooley.

We've been trying to get in this room for like six hours, so now it's not a good thing.

He should have ran when he came.

Well, he ran.

He really wanted to be in this room.

He's come in a couple of different times.

He's gonna hit consumer or major road construction approving.

Um maybe it's gonna be okay.

Is that working?

Right.

Maybe we got upside down scope.

So it is trained.

Cross-trained the clear.

Alright.

These are uh the projects that we did this year.

Uh we're trying to do a little bit of reconstruction every year now.

We uh did a little bit of South Mountain, there's a subdivision to the left, and then 1300 east and Draper Parkway.

That was all part of our pavement maintenance program, so that that's in addition to all the the surface improvements that we did.

Uh we also completed the storm drain issue uh fixing problem out here on 700 east, and that should be functioning great now without having any backup into the street when we have high flows in the creek, and this was our big project for uh this year was 138 south widening start phase three.

So this has been a multi many year project to complete this, and uh I think it looks pretty good.

Um looks like you could land a jet on there.

So the power lines are this this was a little bit unique because we didn't have the room.

If you notice it's really tight uh with the some of the properties that were component against, so we didn't have a park strip on on both sides, so this kind of unique that way.

Uh we've got that situation on pioneer that we're gonna face you know east of here.

Uh other areas where we can have park strip, we certainly will want to add those, but it's so uh impactful on these residents that it was very much a relief to be able to do it this way.

Uh this isn't a big project, but I just wanted to there were some questions that came up as to why we put uh concrete barrier out here.

We actually discovered uh I can't remember if I covered all this with DV4, but we discovered that we have a water line underneath the the guardrail that we had out there that was rusted away.

When we uh pulled it up to replace it, we discovered the water line and that it was only about a foot within the post of the new guard rail and the new guard rail had to be a foot deeper than the previous one.

So it really wasn't an option to reinstall the guardrail without relocating the water line, which we didn't have the money to do that, so we put it in a concrete barrier.

So if you get any questions, that's why we did it that way.

This was one of our sidewalking projects.

We try to do one or two of these every year.

This was on Highland.

Uh so it was a good connection uh to make so and then we also uh made some drainage improvements on 700 was now uh that pretty much completes what we did this year.

700 West is a project that I want to talk about a little bit more about because we've we have money in there for a project to you know widen and improve the road.

We have definitely had a lot of uh public outreach when we started that so the project has been on hold indefinitely pretty much until the council decides what you want to do.

And you will remember that the public outreach was against the road improvements.

We spooled up the money in depth the design, and then the neighbors that supposedly wanted it done, then all decided they didn't want it done, so it wasn't it was a you know, so if we had to do it in, we've got to go back out and find out because now there's a whole slew of new neighbors, it can't figure out why we haven't done it yet.

We did some of it, right?

Yeah.

Um we never really kicked off the project.

I thought we were just like we need to do that.

This was this is a little bit of the drainage issue that we were trying to solve.

So there's been pieces here and there, but not actually widening the road.

Okay.

So previously I we talked about adding sidewalk or a trail to one side for the whole lane.

And so we've uh actually done a cost estimate.

There's two sections on the west side that are missing uh sidewalk that we could add.

One is a section uh on top, and then the section on the bottom.

Both of those together would be about 450,000.

Uh so if that's something and and I'm don't necessarily need you to make a decision here today, but just wanted to run this by you because our big project that we were planning on doing next year isn't I'm gonna cover it in just a minute, but it's not gonna happen this next year in 2026 because of UDOT.

So we're trying to get uh some of these projects teed up for next year to be able to do.

This is one that we could try to get in that queue.

Do we have funding for it?

Yes, yes.

We have the funding, but it's not we have funding for the widening of the whole roadway, but that was back.

It's not gonna be adequate now, but it was at the time.

I think there are seven million dollars.

Does this want to go back out, Doc, reach out to the neighbors again and see if now they want the road improved?

Those two pieces of sidewalk do they make it continue continuously?

On one side.

I think we should definitely do that.

Yeah, that would be on the west side.

Those these two pieces right here.

What about the road?

Well, we wouldn't we want to widen before we put it we're gonna put in the if we're gonna widen, we wouldn't do these projects.

So this is this is a stop gap just to add sidewalks.

So you have the continuous sidewalk on one side.

But if that but if the neighborhood doesn't want the widened road, you should get the money out of there and go where someone wants it, right?

Is it at failure?

I so there's not a lot of traffic on seven hours.

Right.

So that's the thing is it is a collector road, but there is there's just not a lot of traffic.

So I don't know that it needs widening.

But I do think people want the sidewalks for safety.

I mean, that's what we hear over and over again.

That's also a better side of the road because when I walked it a few weeks ago, and the east side with the new development, they haven't put in any trees, or it's just rock gravel and rock, and so that side is better, it's more comfortable walk, right?

Because you can get shaded.

I heard safe places to cross.

No.

There's not great places to cross, but there are some, you know.

There are some crosswalks on both sides that we can cross.

That's what I wonder is how many people on the west side of 700 east go across to the new park.

I can assure you if we only do one side, we'll hear about it.

That we all don't have sidewalk on the other side.

But at least one side's better than not having it, I would say.

So you're just in good draper fashion, you're gonna have you know, a lot of different personalities, a lot of different voices that want different things.

Um so this really is just a decision on what you guys want to take.

I think we've heard often that there's terrible speeding on this road, and doesn't widening just exacerbate that issue?

It can we have done speed studies was not found that there's actually speeding of speeding problem on someone.

Okay.

It's it's a lot of perception, which is real it's very real in their minds, but when we do the studies, it's not showing up.

I'm surprised to hear that you're saying it's not a busy road because I thought with the new development on the east side that it made it really that way necessarily.

One of the main drivers that we had for this project was the storm drain, the blooding issues, which we've pretty much resolved.

So that part for the most part is resolved.

Now there are irrigation issues out there that are pretty significant, but that's I'm not sure that that's gonna go away even with the widening, and and it's a huge problem uh the irrigation company uh is gonna be difficult to look at.

What is the estimated cost of the whole road widening?

I think at the time it was I want to say four and a half million and have it says we can alleviate a lot of concerns by doing the five hundred thousand dollar sidewalk on the side of the road and make sure we have a safe crossing to the new park.

Are there sections of the road that are heavier traffic like at the junctions of like a hundred?

Yeah, definitely on each end.

So I mean it would it have we looked into just maybe strengthening those areas, widening those areas because I agree.

I think the the main section of the road doesn't have a lot of traffic, but does it back up as people are trying to get onto those main roads?

Um I don't see a lot of backups on here.

I think that the road width is adequate.

It's just rural.

It's a rural road, you know, it's it's not the urban road, it's so but that and a lot of people that live out there like that.

I think that we have other areas that could use five million dollars.

I wouldn't happen to have green.

But I do think having the safe sidewalks is important.

And we see a lot of new families here that would like safe sidewalks.

So that's what that's what I think.

So does the road have to be what just ask a question?

Does it have to be widened to put a sidewalk on both sides?

Um we'll have to make sure we have right-away, but it w the actual road won't be one.

We'll just be adding curb gutter and sidewalk onto the onto that side.

We talked about having the full sidewalk one side and then maybe a path on the other side.

Is that an option?

It is, but it's not it actually doesn't cost much less.

It's maybe 20,000, 30,000 difference, adding the curb and gutter um gives you a better delineation on the roadway and the sidewalk.

So when we plow and stuff, it just it it works better if we have curbs.

Yeah.

Yes.

But we wouldn't put a path on the office.

So if you want to do spend the 450s just with the roadway side.

So we're asking to figure out you know if you would like us to try to pursue this for this 20 26 year, this next year.

Um, we'll get on it.

Are we gonna wish that we did a sidewalk on both sides?

Or is that for that?

So that people can get over.

We can always add that later if we want to, but we're not restricted in that way.

Um I wouldn't want to do this though if we're gonna do a full road project.

I don't want to do a full road project if it doesn't necessarily first is are we comfortable not doing the full road project?

If we are, do you want to do this and then maybe later do the other side as well?

I don't know.

Is there enough money to do sidewalk on both sides to take out the road lighting?

Or a path on the opposite side?

There might there might be.

And it's kind of steep on the no, it's uh crescent, I think crescent irrigation.

It's like a handle.

It's very shallow, it's right better up where we need to write the road.

Sidewalk.

There's also same thing's crap.

Yep.

And they have no one.

Do you guys want to just do this then and do that on our side?

Are you comfortable with us with not doing a narrow widening of the road?

Yes, I am.

You feel like it's sustainable for the what?

I do.

And I know there's some development that uh potential development on that side.

Uh have we looked into what some future development might look like along that road?

On the east side?

I know that there's definitely something on the east side.

Uh this this road really has a lot of capacity.

We wouldn't be adding capacity by widening the road, it's just makes it a little bit safer.

So it also has some, I don't remember who pointed out, it can increase speed.

Um, like just like 138, you know, you you basically get enough.

But if you plant trees and stuff, or a few bigger lots of things.

I don't think there's gonna be a ton, but the road is plenty big enough to handle it.

It's not gonna get bigger.

Yeah, like what uh what more projects are left to be built there than well.

There's that one that you denied about six weeks ago or so.

That's not a massive project.

No, it's all it was only seven or eight.

Yeah, yeah.

Um there's yeah, so there's that property.

Um there's um Ivory's picked up the last phase in Jensen Farms, so they'll have some homes going in there.

Um and then I've heard Cool Harris has their property listed where the um uh house stuff is.

Yeah.

Um whether it sells, I don't know, that is on commercial right now.

Um down that it does have access to both seventh west and the the other street to the east.

So it's got better access.

I think this is a great way to go if we're not gonna do the full lighting.

That's it's that's my opinion.

So if you're really wanting to consider the full widening, I'll just put this on hold until we make that decision.

But if you do, if you're a comfortable moving past that, this is a great this would be a good thing to do.

I'm comfortable doing that.

That one, three, four, right.

I just want to make sure that those ends are working well that way.

And if we can always do an the ends later too.

Oh the one end is soccer city.

Oh I know.

Yeah.

I don't know if there's a fix for soccer city.

This isn't gonna restrict us from doing what we need to, but if we are gonna widen it, this is just throwing this away.

All of that clock the traffic is.

Are you in yet, Brandon?

I am.

I like I said, I just want to make sure that we have four.

Oh, this pull off we'll do that.

We'll we'll pursue this.

Um we should have the budget, but I'll still come back to you and let you know after we get a better cost of like that conditional remote or something.

Right, this is our pump station three.

Um if you notice here here's the pumps, right?

Yeah, but here, have all of you been in these pumpks.

We have been in the none of you have I have.

So one of these pumps two weeks ago just broke down, and it needs to be fixed.

We have already in place uh a contract to place these or to add these two pumps here, which will help it'll bring us up to meeting the state code for redundancy.

So we still need to add the one that just broke.

But that's kind of the what we're dealing with up here.

Is we're having issues.

We we've known that we've been preparing for it.

We're we're already in the process of fixing it.

Um so anyway, that's this is pump station three.

Where exactly is that?

No, this is it's just up uh a little bit past uh weird.

Just past my street.

Right on the other side of the on the north side of the road.

Yes.

Right below the cell tower.

And and then if you're interested and would like to see it, um, I'd be happy to take the the council out there.

It's pretty interesting.

It's worth seeing from that two reasons.

One, there are very few cities that have this complex of the water system in the whole country.

One two, the amount of pressures of water that he's moved is phenomenal.

400 psi on the curve.

More than the Hoover Dam at the bottom.

I'm impressed with how clean it is.

400 very tighty.

It's tight.

I'd love to see it, Scott.

Okay.

I'll get that one up.

More power than the bottom of Hoover Dam.

More pressure in the line than the outlet valve of the Uber dam.

It's it is impressive.

Um, and I've heard I have not been in here when these pumps are running, but I heard it's it's screwing to be pretty models.

Yeah, they were on.

Right.

Our sidewalk gap project, we're still working on that.

That contract goes through the end of June and uh 2026.

This we'll keep doing that.

We we do have uh building.

The subdivision that we're about we're getting pretty close to be able to be able to make a recommendation to the council on what we would propose for them.

They're a part of the yeah, this is part of their area.

Yep, they're in that green for right hand.

It's actually a pretty big area.

Um I mean the city's broken up into three into five zones, so we're on zone four.

We have one more year, and then hopefully after that we're just in maintenance.

So that's the whole idea.

Can I ask a question to that, Scott?

Um, because you know, we heard from some of those residents up there on there's an outside service that was marking all the trees.

Oh, the timer name?

Yeah, is that is an outside service one that's identifying the removal of the training.

Well, that was our guys that marked them.

Was it okay?

And they were just following orders.

It you know it was a we didn't really anticipate when we were talking about taking all these trees out that this subdivision.

So this what we're coming up gonna come up with is much needed because this is an issue that we do face throughout the city.

We just haven't had it like this sub this subdivision anywhere else in the city.

So it's just a constant battle between trying to keep your sidewalk safe and keeping these huge mongoose trees, yeah.

So we'll we'll we're getting really close.

So this is uh the property that we purchased and sold uh on off the 1700 east.

We'll put in uh underground uh detention basin here, and this is what it looks like right now.

Yeah, it's a little bit different.

Yeah, so a lot of that just be below ground.

It is all underground, yeah.

Yeah, so is that what prevents access on the 700 1700 East or the neighborhood because of that?

No, this is just so this is a regional pond rather than just open cut and having to maintain uh a landscape.

I mean, you you know we've all seen these around, they look they're ugly, they grow weeds, you know, it's really tough.

This will look great because you won't see it.

So it'll be flat.

It's just gonna yeah, it's gonna be landscape above it.

And everything all the hydraulic stuff, the storm drain and everything is underground, so and it's fairly easy to maintain, so all right.

This is gonna be a the big project that we were planning on doing in 2026 is uh the Lone Peak widening.

This is the last phase.

Uh this goes from 12650 up to 123rd, and I'm sure you all know right now it does at 90 degrees.

We're smoothing that curve out, and the reason we're not going to be able to do it in 2026 is because you is gonna widen 123rd, and those projects are going to be done concurrently because they rely on each other.

So as we widen up at 123rd, we need those improvements done in order for this to function like it's supposed to.

So we were able to get UDAT to to do this work and get it funded.

Um, but it's just it's pushed our project back.

We did get on uh an additional eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars for cord our preservation funds.

We also uh moved funding from one of our pioneer projects that was only half funded, and put it into this project.

So the reason that's important is because making it a federally funded project increases the cost by at least 50 percent.

And if we're only getting half funding, we're really losing money.

So we we would rather just construct all of a project by the city at a cheaper rate, and use that money, the three million towards this one that was underfunded since it's already federally funded.

So that's what we convinced WFRC to do on the approved pack.

Well, you restate that though, so make sure I heard you correctly.

So if it's a federally funded project, yes, it's how much.

So if it's required, say 10 million dollars regular without federal funds, it will be at least at least 15.

You'll give it spaghetti because of the data's bacon weight.

Well it's not just that.

There's bi America, there's environmental, there's all kinds of things that we have to do.

So on Pioneer, we have two uh two projects that are federally funded.

And we just took one of those that spawned it at three million and took that money and put it into this project.

So the city will now need to to construct one of those, which is probably gonna be about four million dollars.

Uh but we got a hundred percent of that value here because this one's already fund it's already federally funded.

So we've already taken that hit.

So really the four million we're we're gonna get three million to put into that.

We were, but we will not now, but so that will be on the city to do that project still.

They're gonna expect us to do that.

But if you do a cost basis, and I I can show you that we're gonna be ahead doing.

Still be cheaper than doing a better funded cake.

So does that clear it up?

Okay.

I wish this were gonna happen next year.

This it's small government, right?

Yeah, so most of it.

Um we also have Ford Street from Pioneer to 132nd, that's gonna be coming up probably in 2027.

Is that adding in the curve better sidewalk?

Okay.

And that that was federal, too.

Is there any white there's no widening of that, right?

It's just out of the way.

No, it is widening.

It's gonna widen the road and put the site.

Yeah.

Is that sidewalks on both sides?

Yes.

Strip takes.

And that that might be a little controversial too.

If there's a cohort that really wants the curve veteran sidewalk, it's a covert that really small streets can save it.

I don't know how anything.

Wouldn't it be an old time project?

Yeah, that's right.

We're kind of used to it.

But I know it's tough.

Yeah, because 1380.

Yes, 130 years.

13 seconds.

132.

Yeah, two.

That was that was one of the worst.

Alright, so this is uh uh area that is problematic for the city.

This is the man in Highland.

Uh this is a project that we can try to do next year.

We're we're just getting the survey done now.

But we need to add another turn line.

So this is Man It Man coming to Iowa on Air Zifteen right there.

The big trucks coming out of Geneva is always backing up.

So that's Maverick on the corner.

Yes, yep.

So we need to add another turn lane there.

Uh, and that's what we propose to do.

We we have some money in the CIP budget for this, but until we do the design, we won't really know how much it's gonna cost.

So we're gonna proceed with doing the design, and then when we get that, we'll bring that back to you to see if that's what you want us to do.

Is any of the maintenance on that area subsidized by that road is beaten to crap.

Well, yes, or the gravel tax.

Yeah, she's gonna have all of our friendly cities, right?

We got the actual gravel tax, and they would not I have to keep my mouth shut if that two degree.

Yeah.

That's quiet like carry the time.

So we can use that money for that.

Yes.

That's what we're doing.

That's one of the reasons it's rising to come up to the top.

It's quite impressive.

So we also have our site set on Pioneer next possibly next year.

This is just a resurfacing primarily.

There's a couple sections that were missing curb and gutter through here that we may try to add that and some drainage, but it would not be a major widening project.

Um, but as you know, that road is it needs some work.

So there's we can't really wait because it's gonna fall apart.

Um, so we need to do that work, and we just want to do a little bit of the curb and gutter drainage while we're at it.

So we're looking at doing that next year.

Um this is 134 south.

We're also looking at possibly doing that next year.

Um there's just this little piece right here.

We're missing the connection.

Uh there's planned so that I can have find my vacation.

Well, that's why I'm bringing it up.

If you want to put the cab wash to it, you can do that.

So the right tough stuff, honestly, a lot of it right now.

So yeah, but you connect that, it's a lot easier for Clint Ridge to get somewhere exactly.

Uh something needs to happen.

Yeah.

So that's that's uh one of the projects that the council decided they wanted us to do.

We have to buy or we own it.

We own most of it, there will be some right.

Now what about uh sidewalk and curb and gutter?

So we will add curb and gutter and sidewalk on most of it's there on the west side.

Um on the east side, there's gonna have to be some widening just for the asphalt.

We are not planning on adding curve gutter and sidewalk.

So there won't be any okay.

There won't be any until this will probably be a two-phase project because there's some drainage that needs to be done in this area that we need property for for a detention reason that we don't have right now.

So we're just starting the design process.

Um we're hoping to be able to get some of it done next.

I just wonder what what some of the residents will say about is the traffic obviously increases there about no sidewalk or we'll have it we'll have a sidewalk.

Yeah.

Okay, that was my question.

At least the part that we're adding we'll have a sidewalk.

But on uh I think it's top on the top of a hundred right where we would have cut through.

Yes.

Yeah, we'll have to but then going further east, will it be s there won't will there be sidewalk to 1300 east?

No.

Not until not once we had it, which we may do.

Yeah.

But that's not what we're proposing right now.

I know.

How do you have two 13400 south?

Oh, that's that's before and after.

Sorry.

It's the upside down.

It's magic.

All right.

Any questions about that one?

Yeah, that's the that move is red in the mowing contract.

Sure, this will be a very lengthy presentation, right?

You only got 10 minutes.

Okay.

No, I can use that.

You just you're just itching this.

Run a presentation.

All right.

I'll go quick.

This will be a little different presentation.

I even brought visual aids.

But I want to start with a thank you to the mayor and council.

In this presentation, I've got three updates I just want to go over with you real quick.

These are updates about things that you guys funded that you recognize that we had asked for that would be beneficial to do our job better.

We listened and funded them.

And I can tell you all three of these things have been great, and the end result is makes our city better and our residents better.

So a few things.

I'll start here with the mowing contract.

Um put it out for bid.

We uh did about 80% of our mowing out that's now contracted out.

Uh the reasons for that I'll go over.

We did some of the drugs on the west side.

We still do our seven biggest sports parks.

We still do this building, some of our city properties.

We have about ten of them that we still do in-house, but the vast majority uh done.

I just made a screenshot of this, but I brought this just so you can visualize what we contracted out.

This I used to print every year.

This is every property in Draper.

And I just want to show you.

It has every little part, every island, every shoulder, every park strip, every everything that we would mow, weed maintain, it's a lot.

Several hundred.

And it was was tough.

So now what we've done is we contracted to uh with fr uh with our new contractor.

One of the biggest benefits, I just had a few things I listed on about you know, for years we've been talking about getting an arborist.

And for whatever reason, it's different scenarios we didn't ever fund it.

But with funding the Moint contract, it in my estimation we got at least three full-time people back, which won without any additional funds.

We converted into an arborist.

And we actually won on a hiring for once we were able to steal from another city, so the guy who hired Logan, he came from Farmington.

He came with his arborist, all the certifications, he's even certified in climbing.

He had a CDL already.

I mean, it was great.

And he loves being here, and he's a great worker, and he's just gone to town in short few months with done a lot of tree work.

So that was one of the biggest benefits of of going to mowing.

Just a few others.

Every day in the summer, it just seems like it was just you know, all we can do is just to try and catch up, or you know, something would happen, you get pulled off, and then it just there's always this feeling of I'm behind, I'm behind, behind.

Now we feel like we can actually be proactive and actually plan and get stuff done.

So it's been really nice.

Um I say we got a lot of time.

Even the seasonals, we would lose seasonals in August.

They all go back to college.

So then we're trying to do the same amount of mowing without all the mow crews, and the seasons are all gone, so now that falls just to the full-time staff, and there was about four people trying to get the whole city done, and it was just very hard.

That all went away this year.

It was nice.

This one's been huge.

We lost a lot of time for down uh equipment.

That all went away.

Public works have loved it, the mechanics up there, not having to deal with broken mowers and you know not just push mower like we have at our house, but big sixteen foot decks that take a lot of equipment time and all that went away because they bring their own more.

Now we still have some mowers, but not near like what we have to.

We're able to get on our weeds more.

I think this is our best year ever for weeds.

Um all of the west side trails that we always seem to struggle with, like Ricker Haven and some of those, but we just admittedly couldn't get to this gate, those look great this year.

Um so and that was the biggest thing is is our morale, and I talked to every month I meet with our bar foreman, just a special meeting.

We had that this morning.

That was more than anything what they would say, and then morale has just been so much better this whole summer.

Just having this contract really helped the burn out factor.

It's going away.

So again, thank you.

These are just a few of the things that I you know and again it's all for the residents and benefit of of our city.

So the Moy contract has been a huge success.

So thank you.

Just really quick wanted to show you our mower here.

This is just a demo.

I don't know if we have.

Wait, that's remote control.

How big is this mower?

Bigger than that.

This is what we're this is what we funded.

I don't know why it's not good.

Well, fix that.

There we go.

Boom.

This is exactly what it looked like when we were doing Mary Bond with the wetlands.

That's impressive.

Take down all those pragmides.

It goes to town.

I can't don't you need a demo like let us drive that.

We got some recreational property we could try and this one I'll let you drive it in my place too.

We just have gone.

Well, this is a before and after.

It's like Lena Park behind Ballfield 4 where you see we have that huge slope that we've never ever been able to do anything with.

Awesome.

He's tough with all that.

He's eating those thistles, man.

Yeah.

It'll go through a two-inch caliper of that.

Very good, very good.

So this is further down.

That's that's how you control it.

This is on the back side where look how steep that is.

And if you're coming over from the Riverton side, I don't know if you've noticed, but how great that hillside looks.

It's great.

Wow.

So anyway, just a little show in front of the learning property and see if that really works out good.

And see if that really works out good.

That's pretty cool.

Yes, we should.

Last thing I want to go over like that.

Well, there's just a few other properties that we use that.

I took these pictures.

I was kind of slow getting there, but you see the before and after.

This is over by the splash pad between the splash pad and the canal.

It looks good.

How's the maintenance on it?

Um we've had to do a little bit, but not terrible.

At least in the first year.

Depends on the driver.

Last update I wanted to give you.

If you remember, we changed our holiday lighting contractor.

Um we had a great event last night.

My opinion, you know, being over it every year and seeing the difference.

This I thought the lights look not they haven't looked in the past, but I thought they looked good or better than ever last year.

Um here's why.

A few things that was beneficial to do this.

Um it did cost more money, but in the long run, we save money.

So I'm kind of trying to look at it.

We switched them out.

But um this is one of the main things.

I used to fight with our old contractor every year.

They would just we would buy brand new lights, we'd give them to them, they would cut them and take them down, and we're spending eight, twelve thousand every year just on life, and we get one season out.

So now we don't own any of the lights in the Draper Park.

Well, ninety-eight percent.

They bring them, they set them up the end of the season, they take them down, and they're broken, they deal with them.

If they repaired, they deal with them.

So we're always getting new lights, we're having shiny lights.

Um what we used to have to do, just so you know, other than we would have to issue lights, we'd have to have them check them out, sign it, they got them.

How many strands we're getting them?

So we're trying at least be close to how many strands we get back, because it was a it was a fight.

Thousands of staff time hours after we would we would have to have pretty much our whole crew, you can picture like 18 people going through lights for about three weeks, checking them because we can't put them away if they don't work, so we don't want to hang them for next year.

You have to check them after a wrap them and then storm the whole upstairs of our parks facility with bins and bins and bins of light.

Now they do all of them.

So we still have lights, but we now this year if you'll notice from all the ones that we've owned, we've been done five additional roundabouts.

Um there were three million lights, right?

Um somebody told me that.

Don't know exactly where that came, but we I figured it out this morning.

All of the lights that we do, all down 123rd, all the street poles.

South Mountain Bridge, all the roundabouts.

We are pretty close to three million.

Where's Linda?

He says three million.

Okay, because you gotta fix that though.

In the city, but in Draper Park, there's about one point five.

I thought that was an ass.

We gotta get in there.

Thank you for your support though.

That's what my staff wanted to make sure you ladies and gentlemen, welcome to uh our city council meeting this evening.

Uh Mayor Walker and I like to get us underway.

Um, our next item of business effort, our call to order here is the Pledge of Allegiance, which I will lead us in tonight.

If everyone will please rise and state the pledge after me.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic before which it stands.

One nation of indivisible with liberty and justice straw.

All right, next item on our agenda.

I'm gonna turn the time over to Chief Ferguson.

Go ahead, sir.

Thank you, Mayor and Council.

It's good to be with you tonight.

Um we're gonna recognize two of our officers who are promoting to the rank of master officer.

Um if I can have Ben Ricks and Zach Campbell come up, please.

Okay.

Umfficor Ricks has uh 18 years total law enforcement experience.

He started with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Department where he worked for three years.

He moved then to Unified Police, spent eight years with them, Harriman Police five, and then the destination police department, the Draper Police Department for the past two years.

He finally found gold.

Um Ben has two boys, Damian Ricks, 23 years old, currently a rookie police officer of a South Salt Lake, and Preston, 17 years old, currently a senior at Brigham High School.

Bingham High School, I'm sorry.

You guys know my mind there.

Um his current assignment, he is on our graveyard shift.

He's also a canine uh operator of the famous Davo, who you all met.

Um he's a member of our honor guard, an instructor on our firearms team.

And I want to just say Master Officer Rix has done an outstanding job filling in uh for a sergeant in Lou Ublen with all of his experience and uh knowledge on the street.

He's been a great asset to the department.

We're very excited to have him promote to master officer tonight.

Master Office Ricks.

And I didn't uh I neglected the biggest thing, his significant other is Robin Ricks.

I am sorry.

Robin is here.

Okay.

Um Zach Campbell.

Zach has uh dedicated over ten years to law enforcement.

Zach began his career in public safety with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office, where he served for three years in the corrections of jail.

In 2018, he joined the Draper Police Department, where he has proudly served for the past seven years.

His current assignment is to Canyon Patrol.

He's the guy that gets to drive the bronco around.

Um Zach, and these are in his words, covers the scenic and rugged areas of Corner Canyon.

He's got the best job in law enforcement.

In addition to his canyon duties, he's an active member of the department's pro uh protective order unit, the drone team, and he serves as a de-escalation instructor and public information officer.

Outside of work, uh Zach is devoted to his family, his wife, Theresa is with us tonight, and uh her four children, um Brinley, Cade, Hannah, and Wyatt.

Um, whether keeping our canyon safe, flying drones or critical missions, uh teaching officers how to bring tense situations to a peaceful conclusion.

Um Zach is a committed servant, and he's a true professional.

We're happy to have him.

We're very proud of him for making this promotion to master officer at this time.

Congratulations.

Uh Professor Campbell.

We'll have you take the oath.

Thank you, Chief.

All right, item number four is next.

And um, I don't know who I'm turning the time over to.

Uh Captain or uh Chief Reyes, and then uh Chief Simmons.

Come on up and uh and tell the and tell our our public what you're here for.

Go ahead.

Uh thank you, Mayor and Council for uh granting us this audience.

Um I'll introduce Chief Jeff Simmons with Logan City as well as Mayor DJ Bott with Brigham City.

We wanted to take an opportunity to come down here and just express our deep gratitude for the assistance Draper City gave us in dealing with the tragedy that occurred in Boxeller County.

As you're all aware, I'm sure we lost two Tremont and Garland police officers in August, and we had the daunting task, uh, Chief Simmons and I of uh orchestrating and putting together and pulling off two funerals.

And uh it was a monumental task, and we couldn't have done it without Draper's assistance.

And Chief Ferguson was very gracious in allowing us to steal one of your members of command staff who we want to recognize a little more personally tonight.

So if I could get Captain Evans to come up here, and just read a certificate that we plan to present Captain Evans tonight.

I told him I was gonna do my best to embarrass him, so hopefully, hopefully I can.

On behalf of Brigham City and Logan City Police Departments, Chief Chad Reyes and Chief Jeff Simmons hereby present Captain Evans with the Medal of Merit for the exceptional leadership and support demonstrated by him and the Draper City Police Department during the planning and execution of the funeral services for Sergeant Lee Sorens and Officer Eric Estrada.

Captain Evans' professionalism, attention to detail, unwavering commitment were instrumental in facilitating the coordination of this large-scale and deeply meaningful event.

His dedication, or I'm sorry, he dedicated countless hours in meetings, planning sessions, and on-site preparations to ensure that every element of the service was carried out with dignity, precision, and respect.

In addition to his extensive logistical support, Captain Evans worked closely and compassionately with the fallen officers' families, ensuring that their wishes were understood and honored.

Captain Evans' stalwation to this task ensured that every aspect of the funeral and viewing was a true reflection of what the family wanted and needed, bringing comfort and reassurance to them during this difficult time.

His experience, leadership, and calm demeanor provided guidance and stability throughout this significant undertaking.

The success of these events, both in honoring our fallen brothers and in supporting their families, was made possible in no small part due to his contributions.

The Brigham City Police Department and Logum's Logan City Police Department sincerely thank Captain Evans and Draper City for their partnership, collaboration, and commitment to excellence.

His efforts reflect great credit upon himself, his department, and the law enforcement profession as a whole.

So with that, Pat, we want to present you with the Medal of Merit.

It's a Brigham City Medal.

Hopefully, Chief Ferguson will allow you to display it with honor.

And uh here is that certificate and an extra copy for you.

So thank you very much.

We can't thank you enough.

I know uh uh I've tried to express my gratitude and thanks to to the council and uh to the mayor and city manager for allowing Pat and Chief Ferguson for allowing Pat to come up and literally spend two weeks of his time uh helping us with this, but I don't know that I'll ever find the words to to appropriately express my gratitude.

So thank you again.

I know uh Chief Simmons and and Mayor Bott wanted to just say a couple of quick things and then uh we'll we'll move on and let you carry on with your meeting.

Thank you again for having us.

Can't express that enough to allow him to come up for two weeks and help us with that was indispensable.

We'd never been through anything like that before.

It was held in Logan.

Um, it can be two things at once.

It was one of the most honorable and wonderful things to be involved with with, but also one of the most terrible things.

And we said as we left, didn't we, Pat, let's never do this again.

But thank you, thank you, Chief.

Thank you to all of you who give gave us Pat for two weeks.

Those aren't just words on that paper.

We truly mean every word of it, and we hope we never have to do it again.

But we have made fast friends, and you always have a lunch in Logan if you come up, okay?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Um by way of uh invitation, I uh have got permission from Mayor Lyle Hombren of Tremont and Linda Bourne Garland to uh express their gratitude and the help that uh Draper City and and its officers provided for uh this incident in support of Brigham City as we help support them.

Um, as an elected official, I want to express my thanks to brothers and sister elected officials down here in Draper.

There's a tax burden and by extension to your citizens by allowing your employee to come up and help in such a uh sacred really and honored situation that was a real big tragedy.

So thank you from from Mayor uh from Tremont City from Garland City and from Brigham City for allowing uh your officers to to help us.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Pat come up here for just one second.

We now he's gonna get embarrassed.

No.

I I just want to say, and I know this council feels the same as I do.

You've given many years of service to our community.

Um you are what we think of when we think of a community police officer.

You always have been.

And the fact that you know how to do this becomes from our own tragedy.

Your own dear friend and ours, Sergeant Johnson.

The fact that you learned how to take a tragedy and turn it into a uh a thing of beauty and honor.

Um in Derek's loss, our loss, the loss of your of your comrade.

Thank you.

Thank you for your skill set, your humility, and your willingness to to do the things that are need to be done.

Thank you again for serving our community, and we're very proud of you, and you deserve that honor and any more I can think of.

I'll start thinking of a few more.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah.

We want your picture down there with you.

Oh, will you we all of you officers and mayor join us as well?

Richard.

We are very, very fortunate to have excellent law enforcement in all of our communities.

Thank you again for coming, all of you that did.

Our next item on the agenda is an opportunity for general public comment to the council.

Is there anyone here that would like to make a general public comment?

If you're here for an item on the agenda that's a public hearing, we ask you to wait for that to keep our record clear.

Go ahead, Mr.

Todd Taylor.

Thank you.

As you remember, uh House Bill 462 requires the city to adopt stationary plans by the end of the year.

Uh these three stationary plans were adopted by your council on in September 2nd of this year, and they were certified by WFRC in October.

The next step in the process is certification by UTA.

Uh following approval by the city council, we received a request from UTA to change a couple of the figures in the plans in Vista Station to show a building.

So the building is located on the site here, located shown in red, which is surrounded by the sort of bus turnaround in the Vista Station area.

And so we worked with our consultant to revise uh the figures.

Uh figure 18.

You can see the building here.

Uh oops, I'm sorry, figure 19.

Figure 20 shows sort of the 3D view of the building.

22 and 24 has a really really tiny version of the building up in the corner.

That's the only changes just to show a building.

Uh that concludes my presentation.

And I'm available if you have any questions.

Any questions for Mr.

Taylor?

All right, might have you back if we need to.

This is a public hearing, item 7A.

Ordinance number sixteen ninety-three.

It's an ordinance of Draper City amending the text of the land use development code.

Title Nine and the Land Use Development Code Title 17 of Draper City Municipal Code relating to boundary adjustments, known as the City Initiated Boundary Adjustment Text Amendment.

Again, Mr.

Todd Taylor, go ahead, sir.

Thanks.

These proposed text amendments are in response to changes to the Utah State Code, specifically Senate Bill 104 in the 2025 session.

Modified provisions for boundary changes.

They became effective on May 7th, and we've been advising applicants of the new procedures.

We've also made a couple other changes into the text for clarity.

So basically, uh what were called lot line adjustments and parcel boundary adjustments are now called boundary adjustment simple and boundary adjustment full.

So a simple boundary adjustment doesn't affect public right-of-way, a municipal utility easement or other public property, does not affect an existing easement on-site wastewater system or an internal lot restriction and does not result in a lot or parcel out of conformity with land use regulations.

And if it doesn't comply with those, it's a full boundary adjustment.

So we've gone through and added these definitions, removed the old definitions, uh revised uh the subdivision definition, which was changed by the state.

Um subdivision amendment was also altered to indicate that it does not include a simple boundary adjustment.

We then went into our subdivision ordinance and referenced those definitions.

We also have uh added in uh requirements for public uh meeting notice, which were uh inadvertently left out during our last subdivision ordinance update.

Um and then finally we uh are adding in the sort of requirements for submittal for a simple boundary adjustment.

Um those are approved by the zoning administrator, and then the full boundary adjustment uh includes a pro uh a plat amendment and they go to the planning commission for approval.

Uh that concludes my presentation and uh available if you have any questions.

Questions for Mr.

Taylor?

All right, thank you.

Public hearing as well.

Ordinance 1693.

So we're going to inform the public that we'll like to address the council on this item.

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

Bring it back to the council.

Mr.

Mayor.

I move we adopt ordinance number 1693.

Motion by Ms.

Rodriguez or second.

I'll second.

Second by Ms.

Johnson.

Any further discussion?

All right, hearing them, Ms.

Rodrigo.

How do you vote?

Yes.

Ms.

Johnson?

Yes.

Ms.

Lowry?

Mr.

Lowry.

Yes.

Items approved unanimously four to zero.

Item seven C's next.

This is also a public hearing.

Ordinance number 1694.

It's the ordinance of Draper City Council to amend the Draper City General Plan to add water use and preservation element known as Chapter 7, known as the water use and preservation element general plan.

Mr.

Taylor, you're back.

Go ahead, sir.

Thanks.

So in 2022, Senate Bill 100 required that city adopt a water use and preservation element by the end of this year.

We put together a stakeholder group of planning, engineering, public works, water pro and Utah DWR for interviews and reviews of drafts.

So now we have a proposed element.

As mentioned, it would become chapter seven.

The existing chapter seven would become chapter eight, and it's made up of these sections that I will go through, which cover uh both the Draper City water system and the water pro system, which is a culinary and irrigation system.

So the plan actually has a good uh data in it and graphs.

Uh, this is just a summary.

So for water use, we're seeing a per capita capita downward trend.

Uh this is uh because of uh outdoor landscaping standards that have become uh more focus on conservation, tiered water rates, water metering, and infill uh that we've seen throughout the city.

When we look at water demand, uh residential use accounts for the highest total demand in both the systems.

Uh but when we do look at the per connection uh water demand, residential properties have a lower use and they are fairly consistent.

Um so we see that there's value in in reaching out to residential users and the non-residential users uh just because of the the high use of the residential overall, but the sort of variability and the higher use per user of the non-residential.

Uh the what element also uh proposes some existing and future water budgets, um which includes looking at the water supply, so for future water supply, Draper City is looking at uh increasing our uh the contract with the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District to provide more water.

Water PRO is looking at developing shallow wells uh to provide for irrigation water, and then they did have more water available for their culinary system.

Uh in looking at water conservation, uh the city is uh working on advanced metering and infrastructure, and we are continuing implementing our outdoor landscaping and water efficiency standards.

Uh water pros looking at water reuse of treated water that could then be used in their secondary irrigation system.

Sorry.

Uh so then that leads to these six uh goals and and seventeen strategies that the element proposes, and I'll just uh uh run through these.

So uh the first goal is looking at uh the city providing dedicated leadership support and cap collaboration, and that's uh by forming a water conservation team and looking at hiring a water conservation intern to try to help uh with additional programming, outreach, and education uh of these uh programs that we're discussing.

The second goal is uh looking at irrigation restrictions, so uh that would be through implementing a time-a-day watering ordinance to restrict watering between 10 and 6 10 a.m.

and 6 p.m.

And then developing a water shortage plan in case of periods of drought or water shortage, and these are obviously two things that would come back before your council for uh further consideration in the future.

Uh the third goal is looking at increasing development density.

This is uh a new one that wasn't uh there when we came to you during the study session.

This is something that the state requested that we include during their review, and so the implementation really is things that we're already doing.

Um implement the uh station area plans and uh complete our update to our zoning ordinance to look at including missing middle types of housing.

Uh so looking at you know the smaller lots or allowing them or uh encouraging them.

So again, those are things that will come back before your council as we you know change the zoning code or or work on development agreements to implement those uh stationary plans.

The fourth goal is looking at educational programming, so expanding our existing classes that our treaty committee does on local scapes and implementing do-it-yourself workshops, and then providing free water conserving tools uh at public events, uh developing a beautiful yard yard award program, and then partnering uh with the water conservancy district to meet with businesses and and and discuss incentives and rebate programs.

The fifth goal is looking at our website, social media and digital tools, uh consolidating our our two web pages into one and promoting rebate programs on those web pages, uh developing a social media calendar, some to message throughout the year, and then promoting promoting an app that uh provides real-time water use uh information.

And then the last goal is to lead by example, and so looking at our park strips, our city turf, and our irrigation systems to uh become more water efficient.

That concludes my presentation, and I'm available if you have any questions.

I have a question, Todd.

Um, on the restrictions with the residential, you know restricting watering from what 10 a.m.

to 6 p.m.

Are there gonna be any type of uh fines or penalties tied to any of these things or how will that's something that if we don't get into that detail?

That's something that could be uh discussed.

We could, you know, as we develop the ordinance that would implement that and how it would work really.

So it's really ultimately up to the council to guide us on or how we make the decision on on how that would be implemented.

I have a question too.

Um you talked about how per connection that non-residential users tend to use more water, and that there will be um an initiative to partner with the water district and businesses, but what about some of the non-residential, non-commercial organizations that might be in the city?

Is there anything to address their water usage?

I non-residential, non-commercial.

Sorry, it makes sense in my head.

I'm sorry.

So like uh maybe civic uses or like churches, schools, those kinds of things that aren't commercial, but there we have a lot in our uh city.

I'm not sure.

I think we would when new uh plans come through, we review them against our standards.

I don't know, I haven't dealt with a church.

I don't know what we do with churches, to be honest.

We're very limited on what we can require churches to do.

Um obviously we can work with them to see what they're willing to do.

Um, landscaping, I don't think is one thing that we're we're really able to fully make them comply with our code.

Okay, thank you.

Oh, and then my other question was about the water conservation coordinator.

Um, what does that role look like and who who would have that role?

So we actually have already have a wallet water quality and conservation coordinator.

Um Jordan Wall, and so it would just be you know, he would look at you know, coordinating with water pro with planning, just sort of having that team to continue to think about uh these items.

Thank you.

Any other questions?

All right, thank you, Todd.

This is a public hearing order number 1694.

Is there anyone from the public who would like to address the council on this item?

Right, seeing no public comment, we'll close the public hearing, bring it back to the council.

Mr.

Mayor, I'd like to move that we adopt ordinance 1694.

Our motion to adopt ordinance 1694 by Ms.

Johnson's or second.

I'll second.

Ms.

Wadry is second.

Further discussion.

Hearing none, Ms.

Johnson, how do you vote?

Yes, Ms.

Wadry.

Yes, Lowry, Mr.

Mr.

Lowry?

Yes.

It's approved unanimously for to zero.

Item 7D.

This is a public hearing, and then it's it's a resolution 2572.

It's a resolution of Draper City Council adopting the water conservation plan.

Um update for Draper City.

And we'll have Brian Maxfield.

Go ahead, Brian.

Thank you, Mayor.

Um, this is the city's fifth water conservation plan.

Um, it's a different part of state code.

We are required to do it every five years.

Um this is just a graph showing our general usage.

The angled line shows our overall trend from the year 2000 to now.

So we are on a good trajectory.

The yellow line is the regional goal that we have to comply with, and the lower gray line is the Draper City conservation goal that we adopted in 2014.

So we have finally managed to achieve that goal.

Our uh target year was 2025.

Um, and as you can see, this data goes up through 2024, so you can see that we are underneath our our target goal for conservation.

So this plan outlines our next five years worth of activities.

Um as you've heard from Todd, um, we are focusing on helping water pro with their reuse.

Um, we are doing advanced metering infrastructure that allow us to detect leaks sooner, allow us to help the residents conserve water.

Um again, expanding and cooperating with other partners on public awareness.

We talked about that briefly in the general plan update, and then we have uh an item for monitoring progress to adjust the strategy and further uh community engagement.

So this is listed under a conservation coordinator, and that's an existing position we have in our water department.

Jordan Wall is that coordinator, so he does oversee some of the conservation efforts from the public work side.

Um so that's what he does.

Do you have any questions?

Any questions for Brian?

Thank you, Brian.

This is a public hearing resolution 2572.

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

All right, seeing no public comment, we'll close a public hearing and bring it back to the council.

Mr.

Mayor, I move that we adopt resolution 25-72.

Motion by Ms.

Johnson to adopt resolution 2572.

Is there a second?

Second by Miss Lowry.

Any further discussion on the matter.

All right, hearing none, Ms.

Johnson, how do you vote?

Yes.

Ms.

Lowry.

Yes.

Ms.

Vaudrey.

Mr.

Lowry.

Yes.

Items approved unanimously four to zero.

Item 7E.

Also a public hearing.

Ordinance 1686 and ordinance 1687.

It's an ordinance amending the official land use map and ordinance amending the official zoning map of Draper City for approximately 1.3 acres of property located at 11730 South 700 West, known as the Huber land use map and zoning map.

We'll have our staff report by Mary Ann Pickering.

Mary Ann go ahead.

Thank you.

This is a vicinity map showing where the property is located.

It's here in red.

This is 700 West and 114 south for reference.

This is a detailed view of the property again along 700 west.

The current land use designation is the low medium density for residential, and the zoning is RA1, which is our one acre zone.

This request is to change the land use amendment from residential low medium density to residential medium density, and then a zoning map amendment from RA1 to R third, which is one third acre minimum.

I'd like to emphasize that this change is only to one-third of the property and the area that's proposed to be rezoned to R3 and have that land use designation will eventually be added to the subdivision to the west.

The remaining lot portion that will remain RA1 will continue to comply with the zoning requirements.

And then for reference, this is the approximate area that will be rezoned R3.

This portion will remain the RA1, and so this part will be sold and incorporated into this subdivision.

And I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

Questions for Mary Ann.

So go ahead.

Um the parcels, I guess.

Oh, thanks.

The parcels, I guess, that are to the north.

Did they also um subdivide previously?

I assume they did.

I was not here when this subdivision was done, so I do not know for sure.

I believe the majority of those pieces were part of the Fox Landing subdivision and sold some of their property.

Mr.

Lowry.

No, I don't know my question.

Anyone else?

All right.

Is the applicant here?

Yes, yes.

Sir, you're welcome to come up and address the council if you'd like.

Just give us your name and address if you would.

Tom Spencer, uh business address or my home address.

Neither one.

So business address 527 East Pioneer Road Suite 100 here in Draper.

Um tell us your name one more time.

I don't think Tom Spencer.

Tom Spencer.

Go ahead, sir.

Thomas Thomas L.

Okay.

Go ahead.

Um back to the one question that came up.

Uh four or f four out of five of those parcels to the north.

Um did sell off a back portion that was incorporated to Fox Landing.

Four of them actually received a new lot number designation at the time when that occurred.

Um for this particular application, to put it in very simple terms, even though we're going through many steps to get there, uh, we're adding one 19,000 square foot lot to Fox Landing.

So that's ends for one one home.

So that's in the simplest terms what we're doing.

Um, all utility and access will come off of Osborne Vistaway off of that knuckle.

Any questions for the applicant?

All right, thank you, sir.

We'll give you the last word if we need to.

Do you have one?

Yeah.

Um, as far as access for that lot, since it currently doesn't have access to the street, where are you going to get the access?

Uh we're creating access.

There's as part of the process that we'll be going through after this step.

Um the two lots that are kitty cornered to this parcel that we're purchasing.

Um, they're going to be amended as part of a three-lot subdivision.

So depending on what the process is at that time, which will start after this hearing if if approved.

Um, there's a piece that comes out of lot 328, this is to the north, and there's a piece that comes out of lot 327 that says to the west to create the 50-foot frontage.

And that keeps the lots compliant in lot size, even with that.

Okay.

Any other questions?

All right, thank you, sir.

We'll give you the last word if there's public comment.

This is a public hearing.

Um it is ordinance uh 1686 and 1687.

Is there anyone from the public that would like to address the council on these ordinances?

All right.

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

Mr.

Mayor, go ahead.

I make a motion we approve ordinance 1686 and ordinance 1687.

All right, Mr.

Lowry's motion is to approve ordinance 1686 and 1687.

Is there a second?

Oh second.

Second by Miss Lowry.

Is there any further discussion on Ms.

Johnson?

What's that?

Ms.

Johnson second.

Oh, did you second?

No, I didn't.

Well, you did.

Oh, I said.

Well, I heard it on this year because I can't hear now.

Sorry.

You're gonna have to be louder.

All right.

Any further discussion?

All right, hearing them, Mr.

Lowry.

How do you vote?

Yes.

Lowry.

Yes.

Ms.

Vaudrey.

Yes.

And Ms.

Johnson.

Yes.

Items approved unanimously four to zero.

All right.

Next item, also public hearing.

It's like as many as we've had in a while.

Um ordinance, uh ordinance is 1688 and 1689.

No, we could what do we do with that one?

Okay.

Yep.

We're done.

We are all right.

Well, hallelujah.

It would appear that we're done with those.

Does that mean we're like done done?

Oh, council manager.

All right, who would like to go first?

I don't have any.

Does anybody have any items?

I guess just the question, Kelly, is there any help that's needed for the holiday market this weekend?

I don't think so.

I asked today if the um the Miss Drapers offered help, and David said he was okay for that.

So I think they're good.

He's gonna use their help on Monday with the candy cane hunt.

But I think we're all set for both events.

All in favor of adjourning, say aye.

Aye.

Are there any favor uh opposed?

We are adjourned.
