Order, common council of the town of Payson, work study meeting, February fourth, twenty twenty-five. Councilman Farrish, would you like to give us an invocation, please? Yes, I know. Dear Lord, thank you for this opportunity to gather and may all our deliberations or thoughts are conversation be pleasing to you. Lord, uh help us to move forward with wisdom and understanding as we deal with uh budget today and other items on our agenda. We just thank you that we live in a country where we have freedoms to engage in our government and be part of it and interact with others as we try to improve our communities or state or country. Anyway, just be with us and have your protection over everyone here and guide us and all your wisdom. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. Pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God and individual with liberty and justice for all. And uh during the meeting. So I guess we go to a second. I want to say something. Okay. I know this might be out of the ordinary for many of you, but um, I was looking in the policy procedure, chapter two, council norms and standards of conduct. Uh C, Councilman Action and Communication. Uh, four, demonstrate effective problem solving approaches. A council members have a public space to show how individuals with my uh East Coast brain and mouth cannot pronounce this word. Um can find common ground and seek a compromise that benefits the community as a whole. This standard, and that each one of us some way somehow identify what our community members would like done, and how we can find a common interest to move this town forward. We've all been it's all been identified through Skip CAC the last 20 years. Cool, Rumsey Park, the event center. There has to be something that we as a council can do to move the town forward. So I'm going to challenge each one of you that we can come up with some kind of communication. Sheila, I talked to you a little bit about a retreat. Maybe maybe we can get a retreat going where we can. And that's we're gonna go through all these work studies. Personally, I don't want to wait for a work study. I think we know what the town wants. I think we can agendaize things about what the town needs, and uh I think we can move forward. That's all I want to say. Thank you for your time. Appreciate everybody being here. Have a good day. And if I'm doing this, just wake me up now. Thank you, Charlie. That's it. Purpose of the meeting number A is presentation discussion regarding affordable housing project update of the overland development proposal. Uh Julie Leonard, I believe you're making this presentation. I'm gonna at least introduce the guys that are gonna make the presentation, share a little bit. So good afternoon, council mayor, staff. Um so this is about the low-income housing tax credit um funding that's that ADOH provides. And so today that application is due on April 1st, 2025. Um, as some of you might remember uh last year was our first funding of that since 2010. So we're hoping to get funded again for another project because there's still, as we talked about the housing study last meeting, um, there's still a need for additional housing. So the we have the developer here, developers here who will be sharing about their project um directly, the specifics to it. Um, there is the presentation that they're gonna be sharing has some minor changes from the one you got in your packet or on the agenda, um, very minor, but just wanted to let you know that um that there were a few little updates put in there. So I'm gonna introduce to you and then uh Ryan Francisco and Ryan Zent, who will be here to share about their project specifically and give you all the details you need to know. Okay. Well, good afternoon, everybody.
