	3. Public Comments(15 minutes) Mayor Fullmer opened for public comments. Pam read Anthony Jenkins Comment’s. Julie agreed that the going the speed limit everything was good. Had there been a railing it might not have been good for the driver going off at the speed he was. Different types of transportation on the road. Kids walking on the wrong side of the road. Different types of driving if a rail that was there. Felt there was a safer mechanism there and worth incorporating into the design. Chris J. appreciated Anthony’s comment. Fallback on those who were certified. There was also the public perception of public safety. Should not diminish those who were certified. Done to code but making it better. Julie agreed. Tim Blackburn – Chair of the Heritage Commission hope in the six or seven weeks about a theme come as small children be born here and experience a lifetime here but not dyeing here. A Vineyard Cemetery. Proposal for a cemetery. Cost a premium to be buried in other cities. Families who came from Pioneer stock would have loved to be buried in Vineyard. Not planned for it. Hope in the future to present a plan for a city cemetery. Julie as cemetery was a special thing to families, focused on their heritage find a location. Actively looking. Why don’t the work with staff to identity a location with heritage. Tyce discussed it with the City Manager. Dilemma with only so much space. Delicate situation. Chris J seconded the issue. Find a location let the city know. Open space was key. Julie strategic plan update changed to from open space to … actively for other issues. Tim there was still land that the city owns. Does not take a lot of space. 1500 per acre only need 3 to 4 acres. Julie agreed and said that they were actively looking at it. Finding the right location. Tyce Reece from the Providence – stated that two years ago comments during an open session about parking in the Providence neighborhood. Started a two year journey and are still on. Let to changes in the HOA rules which could not be installed. 2020 worked with the City manager to petition the city to install parking regulations. October 2020 after that there meetings. Julie asked parking justifiably on the street. Residents should be allowed to park in front of their homes. 10 North was a public road. Chris W. on the subdivision roads. On 600 roads. 580 North and 100 East parking allowed. The only option available to remove cars overnight was to ban all overnight parking. Another group filling the parking spots and creating… can’t legally allow the HOA to take over the public space. Cannot allow the HOA to police city roads. Stuck with one solution that was not an option. Asked about the alternative solution. Talked with members of the providence and working with Jayme at options. Look at the way that Provo and Springville’s’ programs. To run Provo’s would be cost prohibitive. Not very costly. Neighborhoods paying for the costs to run the program. Still activity working on it. Both options were cost prohibitive. Jake could bring them back to CC, would be difficult for residents to fund. Tyler all indications were that it would be temporary, not a lot of communication from the city. Banning all overnight parking to alleviated high-density parking in their neighborhood. Julie state did not want to allow cities to regulate any parking. Spoke with the HOA about purchasing additional land for additional parking. Could meet again with the HOA about the plan presented. What are the cities limitations and the costs to the tax payer? Open to working on solutions. Outside pressure to expand the cities limitations. Tyler aware of the legislation. What he was saying was there were residents who were paying for miss-planning. Make the change to force the residents off of the street. Julie working on it but cannot accept the ideas presented and trying to find out what the city could do that was viable. This conversation was important. Put it on the HOA because they had the ability to regulate their parking so that it did not affect other. Comes back to the management. Extreme choice that fall with the HOA. Tyler asked for more transparency. Felt that they waiting for the next step. Willing to meet with staff, civic involvement. He was the one who people were looking to for an answer. Julie greatest road block with the city. Tyler last was that the city was not interested in the current proposal. Julie the proposal not able to approve because of the legal liabilities. Jake several conversations. The constraints from the city council was that they need something that was funded by the residents. Manage long-term and follow through on. Had not found a solution the meets the standards. Julie were agree with them but cannot make a decision if they cannot implement the plan. Tyler asked again for transparency from the city. Julie felt that they were saying was that the current solution was not viable. Not done. Ultimate plan to come up with a way to deal with each community. Each dealing with different issues. Tyler as a resident would welcome engagements and impressed on the urgency to get it done. Julie how were they holding the HOA’s feet to the fire. Limited powers… HOA had the power. Tyler proposals given willing to continue the conversation. Wanted to be part of the solution. Engage the HOA. Dan Stoval resident in the providence added that they had worked with the HOA who passed a… only park in the subdivision where they own a home but had no way to inforce it. No voice in the sub-HOAs. Purchase additional land. Willing to continue to work with them. Residents who were caught between the HOA and the Council. Parking limited in the collector streets, enacted on private streets. Parking in Penny Springs overnight. The council could do something to help alleviated their safety concerns. Dangerous where kids are running around the area. Safety concern. See parking on… streets and collector roads. Dealing with it in the neighborhood. Collector roads, Julie clarified that the council was on their side, going to take care of the concerns. The collector street was always …breaking the law, could not enforce. See where the greater concerns bring the data to the table. Agreement that when the data comes forward that they agree to the data. Outside of data they want to take care of the residents. Work with the HOAs with the problems. Come to at least a form of clarity. Stop the conversation, facilitate a meeting, and work through it. Chris J. mentioned that the HOA did not have any teeth in what they enacted. Cannot tow on the city streets, could the fine the affected area. Felt they could have teeth. Jayme replied that the hard differentiate was within the master and sub-HOAs mix of private and public roads. The difficulty would be the HOA’s enforcing in the public space. Chris need to make the roads private. Jayme understanding the parking issue. The balance between the cost of enforcement and enforcing sufficiently. There was a difficult balance and would be a price to the residents. Chris J the data and costs send to the residents. Was it anytime action by the HOA on public areas. John not opposed to collector streets being parked on. Idea was to allow night parking on collector streets. Julie said that they needed to determine if they could implement any of these ideas. Dan gathered signatures from residents who were in favor of the Herriman plan. The one they did not support was a blanket overnight ban on parking. Julie asked about the previous discussion. Jake looked at the cost, the cost per permit was astronomical. Julie 75 percent in favor, that would be a significant opt in number. Jayme summarized the Herriman proposal. The cost. Create parking districts within the city and the resident would vote to opt in, each residents would purchase hanging tags, two per residence and one guests. Cost to operate would be too high and would price people out. Continue the conversation. Andrew Hays providence – email to the council only got one response. Behind the Herriman proposal. Asked immediate action when it comes to safety. Could they red-curb areas where it was illegal to park. Called the sheriff’s department. Did want to issue tickets.
