| All right, we're going to go ahead and start our Vineyard City Council meeting. It's still February 12th, 2025, and the time is | 00:00:02 | |
| 7:00. | 00:00:06 | |
| And I'm doing a little bit of an adjustment to our schedule. I apologize for all of the adjustments for those that are presenting. | 00:00:11 | |
| Thank you for your patience with us. | 00:00:15 | |
| We're going to move to appointments. | 00:00:19 | |
| I'm wondering if you could raise your hand if Cindy Walker. | 00:00:21 | |
| Cameron Searson or Stephanie Scott are in the room. | 00:00:25 | |
| Come up to the microphone if you're here. | 00:00:29 | |
| And state your name and introduce yourself. | 00:00:35 | |
| I am Stephanie Scott and I'm going to be working with the youth, the Vineyard Youth Council. | 00:00:39 | |
| OK. And I think your daughter served as my daughter was the mayor yesterday. I have 3 kids in the program right now, so I | 00:00:45 | |
| volunteered with it for at least. | 00:00:48 | |
| Four years since I know I'm going to run in. | 00:00:52 | |
| So awesome, thank you so much for volunteering. | 00:00:55 | |
| I'm actually so we're going to start with you. So I need I'm going to. | 00:00:57 | |
| Does anybody have any questions for Stephanie? Otherwise, I'm just going to ask for a motion. I just want to comment that my son | 00:01:03 | |
| has worked with you a little bit, worked with your kids, really. And he's, he will be so excited to hear. Yeah, I'm excited. It's | 00:01:07 | |
| a fun program. Yeah. Thank you so much. | 00:01:12 | |
| All right then, can I get a motion? | 00:01:16 | |
| I move to approve the appointment of. | 00:01:22 | |
| Stephanie Scott, right? | 00:01:25 | |
| Right. Can I get a second? | 00:01:27 | |
| Do I need to clarify to the Youth Council? | 00:01:29 | |
| Sure. | 00:01:32 | |
| The youth Council Co advisor is what she is approving my recommendation for. Can I get a second? Second by Brett? All in favor, | 00:01:33 | |
| aye. | 00:01:38 | |
| All right, thank you so much. Thanks for being here, thanks for volunteering, and we're so excited and happy to have you parents | 00:01:43 | |
| that you designed some papers afterwards. You're going to stay right here, so for a second. Okay, if I can. | 00:01:49 | |
| Thank you so much. Yeah, thank you. I'm going to combine 7.1 and 7.2. | 00:01:56 | |
| And 7.4. | 00:02:03 | |
| So. | 00:02:05 | |
| Cindy Walker, she is incredible. | 00:02:06 | |
| Julia with Communities that Care Commission has recommended Cindy Walker. | 00:02:08 | |
| If you guys. | 00:02:15 | |
| Have any questions about the process? Julia can be here tonight. She's a wonderful person. She's been really dedicated and working | 00:02:16 | |
| with communities that care. And so they're really looking forward to having Julie, I mean, Cindy, be a part of that Cameron's. | 00:02:24 | |
| Severson or Severson? And sorry if I said your last name wrong, just know you by Cameron, you're not here tonight, but he is | 00:02:31 | |
| really excited about being with the active Transportation Commission. | 00:02:36 | |
| I was able to talk to him for a minute. Anthony, one of our planners, had the opportunity to put him to interview him and he's | 00:02:42 | |
| very excited to serve the community and he's been very actively involved, similar to Stephanie. And so we're just excited for his. | 00:02:49 | |
| On dedication to serve. | 00:02:56 | |
| And then as far as council appointments, I have delivered all of your council appointments to you. | 00:02:58 | |
| I do not have them before me, but what we will do is we'll post them on a website and so each of you know your council | 00:03:04 | |
| appointments and if you feel comfortable with them, I'm just going to ask for a motion on 7.17 point 2 and 7.4. | 00:03:11 | |
| I move to approve 7.17 point 2 and 7.4. OK I have a first by Marty to approve 7.17 point 2 and 7.4. | 00:03:18 | |
| I just want to clarify, are we on the? | 00:03:27 | |
| Maybe I have an old version of the agenda, but it looks like these are 8 point. | 00:03:29 | |
| 8183. | 00:03:35 | |
| Maybe you have a newer version and I have an older version. | 00:03:37 | |
| If there are other numbers, what are the numbers that you have, Eric? | 00:03:41 | |
| I see it online 8.18.2 and 8.48.18.2 and 8.4. That means that the last one was 8.3. | 00:03:46 | |
| Mayor, would it be more appropriate for us to approve our council appointments after we've seen them? | 00:03:55 | |
| You have seen them. | 00:04:00 | |
| Well, I haven't seen everyone else's. | 00:04:01 | |
| And you accepted them. | 00:04:04 | |
| Eric hasn't. Do you want to pull him off and read them? | 00:04:05 | |
| You could maybe move ahead. | 00:04:15 | |
| And approve the camp, those others. But give me one second. | 00:04:16 | |
| I moved to approve 8.1 and 8.2 as presented. Great, I have a first time ready. Can I get a second? | 00:04:21 | |
| Second. Second by Brett, all in favor. | 00:04:27 | |
| Aye, all right. | 00:04:30 | |
| We will wait on 7 or 8.4. | 00:04:33 | |
| Yeah, sorry about that. There might have been a formatting error, That's OK. | 00:04:44 | |
| Everybody has technical issues. We can all get past it and read those numbers out loud so. | 00:04:48 | |
| I told Pam she jinxed me when she kept asking me. That's it. That was what she did. | 00:04:54 | |
| That's good. | 00:05:00 | |
| While we're waiting, we'll go ahead and approve the consent items. Can I get a motion? | 00:05:15 | |
| Right here, but let's check our numbers. | 00:05:23 | |
| 7.1. | 00:05:28 | |
| So 7.1. | 00:05:31 | |
| I move to approve the consent items as present, item as presented. All right, we have the first by Sarah. Can I get a second? | 00:05:34 | |
| Second. Second by Marty on favor. | 00:05:42 | |
| Aye, thank you. What we're going to do is we're going to ahead and talk about 8.1. | 00:05:45 | |
| So we have an opportunity to have this in a work session tonight, but it's been asked by Council Member Clausen to move 8.1 to the | 00:05:50 | |
| next meeting, which is where we would make a decision. 9.19 point one. Thank you. So can I go ahead and get a motion to move that | 00:05:56 | |
| item even though we'll be discussing it in the work session? | 00:06:02 | |
| Brett, do you want to make that motion? | 00:06:12 | |
| Yes, yes, I moved a bit to postpone that the. | 00:06:14 | |
| Next meeting. | 00:06:18 | |
| Like our next regular scheduled meeting is where we'll move that to. Brett made the motion to continue it. Can I get a second, | 00:06:19 | |
| second, second by Marty? All in favor, Aye, aye. | 00:06:24 | |
| Excellent. | 00:06:29 | |
| Let's see, well, why don't we go ahead and come back to the other item and we'll go ahead and start in our work session. | 00:06:30 | |

| Does everybody feel comfortable with the appointments that were stated? | 00:08:45 | |
| OK. Sarah, you said yes, so I feel like that's a motion. | 00:08:49 | |
| I moved to approve the mayor's appointments. | 00:08:53 | |
| Perfect. Second a second, a first by Sarah, second by Marty. All in favor? Aye aye. | 00:08:56 | |
| Perfect. All right, Paul, you're up. | 00:09:01 | |
| Perfect. | 00:09:03 | |
| Thank you mayor, council members and city attorney. | 00:09:05 | |
| My name is Paul Damron. I work with Udot's Division of Aeronautics. | 00:09:08 | |
| I'm not a lot of people know, but the UDOT does have a Division of Aeronautics WE. | 00:09:12 | |
| Manage all of our 46 airports. | 00:09:17 | |
| Through federal funding, capital improvement projects, we also. | 00:09:21 | |
| Have a few airplanes. | 00:09:25 | |
| Maintenance crew that maintains them. | 00:09:28 | |
| We've got an engineer on staff, 1212 full time members that make up our office. | 00:09:30 | |
| And so I know a lot of people probably don't know that, but. | 00:09:37 | |
| Anyway, I'm the Advanced Air Mobility Program Manager which is fairly new to UDOT a new position but we have been doing. | 00:09:40 | |
| Work in this for about 10 years now. | 00:09:48 | |
| Most of you are familiar with drones. | 00:09:51 | |
| There's this evolution that I work with of trying to figure out how drones should. | 00:09:54 | |
| Operate within the state. | 00:09:59 | |
| And then all the way up to what we'll talk about today, which is aircraft that can carry passengers. | 00:10:01 | |
| That look like a car as you can see. | 00:10:08 | |
| It doesn't look like a helicopter. | 00:10:12 | |
| They are umm. | 00:10:14 | |
| New forms of technology and aviation that have come together to. | 00:10:16 | |
| Help support advanced aviation SO. | 00:10:20 | |
| And I'm gonna have Tony today be my copilot. | 00:10:23 | |
| He'll be working the. | 00:10:25 | |
| The slides for me sit. Go ahead. | 00:10:27 | |
| What I want to do is I want to paint a picture at the state level of what what we're doing and how we how we're supporting this | 00:10:29 | |
| cause and how. | 00:10:33 | |
| Communities like yours can can feel at ease. | 00:10:38 | |
| As maybe the there's a buzzword going around, moving around. | 00:10:41 | |
| Throughout throughout the state of advanced air mobility and so. | 00:10:45 | |
| What we've done is we we work really close with our legislators. We have a handful of them that are very interested in helping | 00:10:48 | |
| support events and mobility. | 00:10:52 | |
| They work with us to understand what are some of the things we should be looking for, what are the some of the things we should | 00:10:57 | |
| study. | 00:11:01 | |
| U dot, as we know, is in charge of moving people. | 00:11:04 | |
| That's our business, moving people safely and efficiently. | 00:11:08 | |
| We look at different modes of transportation and in my opinion and through our office and you dot as a whole. | 00:11:11 | |
| Air travel would be a new mode of transportation that we can move people around the state. | 00:11:19 | |
| I also connect. We have a discussion during the break. | 00:11:24 | |
| Also moving people around in a regional sense to getting getting individuals to surrounding states more efficiently. | 00:11:28 | |
| And So what we, what we've done is back in 2021. | 00:11:36 | |
| Senator Harper requested us to do a study on what does the. | 00:11:40 | |
| Infrastructure and a regulatory piece of advanced air mobility look like. What should it look like? What could it look like? | 00:11:45 | |
| And as I mentioned, what things that Udon is in charge of, you know the the mode of transportation policy regulatory. | 00:11:51 | |
| Issues. | 00:11:59 | |
| When it comes up to this stuff and so. | 00:12:01 | |
| The Utah study for UMM. | 00:12:03 | |
| Implementing advanced mobility was kind of the tip of the. | 00:12:06 | |
| I'd say the iceberg as it comes to the air travel for passengers. | 00:12:10 | |
| Now there's an evolution of. | 00:12:16 | |
| Crawl, walk, run, I like to say, and we're definitely in the crawl stage. So don't think we're tomorrow going to start seeing | 00:12:20 | |
| these aircraft show up in the state. However, we are working closely with partners like 47 G to make that happen. | 00:12:25 | |
| Umm, what? What we're doing is we're trying to to, to make sure we're not bringing the cart for the horse per se. | 00:12:31 | |
| And that we're on the cutting edge and not the bleeding edge of this technology. | 00:12:38 | |
| And so a lot of the things that we work with throughout the legislative branches is to make sure that we are confident as U dot. | 00:12:42 | |
| In the things that we're trying to disperse and the information that we're giving out to the community and. | 00:12:52 | |
| Towns and cities like like here so. | 00:12:59 | |
| In 2022. | 00:13:01 | |
| And I'm just going to breeze through these, but you guys will have this copy. | 00:13:03 | |
| And you can reference it. | 00:13:07 | |
| Umm, in 2022. | 00:13:10 | |
| We saw some really exciting things happen here in Utah. There was two companies that wanted to start doing small package drone | 00:13:12 | |
| deliveries. | 00:13:16 | |
| I don't know if you. | 00:13:21 | |
| Knew that, but in. | 00:13:22 | |
| Linden and. | 00:13:24 | |
| Harriman and also in. | 00:13:26 | |
| West Jordan, there were two companies that were operating out of there. | 00:13:28 | |
| They were able to understand their operational procedures and define a lot of things work with the FAA. | 00:13:32 | |
| And they are moving on to different phases of their companies, their business. And they've not necessarily closed the door on | 00:13:38 | |
| Utah, but they are. | 00:13:43 | |
| Going to reevaluate some of the FAA regulations that. | 00:13:47 | |
| That they're working through to understand how they can then successfully deploy back here in Utah. | 00:13:51 | |
| Zip line is a company that started operating. | 00:13:58 | |
| They work with Intermountain Health to get. | 00:14:01 | |
| Prescription drugs out to their their clients. | 00:14:05 | |
| Umm, I love the the model that they're doing. Zip line. | 00:14:10 | |
| Actually proven this method out in other countries. | 00:14:14 | |
| Providing medical support. | 00:14:18 | |
| Defibrillators. Blood. | 00:14:20 | |
| To places in Rwanda and other parts of. | 00:14:23 | |
| Africa and other small countries and so. | 00:14:26 | |
| They they looked at the United States as an opportunity to move into the market and they chose Utah to help determine that and | 00:14:30 | |
| they were able to successfully. | 00:14:35 | |
| Catapult their operations. | 00:14:41 | |
| In a way that. | 00:14:44 | |
| Is driving their success. | 00:14:45 | |
| Next slide. | 00:14:48 | |
| 2023 We looked at registration for aircraft for Advanced Air mobility. | 00:14:51 | |
| When I say advanced their mobility, I'm also talking about drones, so. | 00:14:57 | |
| It all encompasses it all so. | 00:15:00 | |
| Your recreational to your commercial small drones that your neighbors might have. | 00:15:03 | |
| And there they are regulated by the FAA. | 00:15:08 | |
| But we do have. | 00:15:11 | |
| We started in 2023. | 00:15:13 | |
| Some commercial aircraft registration discussions. | 00:15:15 | |
| We defined what a vertical port is. A vertiport is like, it's like a heliport. It's where these aircraft will operate in and out | 00:15:19 | |
| of. | 00:15:23 | |
| I will let you know that we will be using existing infrastructure at our airports to for initial operations. | 00:15:28 | |
| And as we work towards. | 00:15:34 | |
| Venues like the Olympics will be strategically working with. | 00:15:36 | |
| Our partners like 47 G to understand where those. | 00:15:42 | |
| Should be placed for an event like that and and we're building an advanced air mobility platform, a system. | 00:15:47 | |
| That's going to hopefully. | 00:15:54 | |
| Be here for generations. | 00:15:56 | |
| Like you see the Interstate, it's here for generations. We look at the Olympics and other events as as events that we can. | 00:15:58 | |
| Umm educate the public and. | 00:16:06 | |
| Support. | 00:16:08 | |
| Those events, but knowing that. | 00:16:10 | |
| Bigger picture at you got is to make sure that this is a very viable mode of transportation. | 00:16:12 | |
| We addressed preemption of local ordinances regarding advanced mobility. Have had several conversations with the FA on this. | 00:16:17 | |
| We understand our place when it comes to federal regulations. We will not be preempting what the FAA is has. | 00:16:25 | |
| Mandated through their rules and code and so we will complement what they do have. | 00:16:33 | |
| And industry helps us out. They let us know when we might be getting a little close. And so we appreciate the partnerships that we | 00:16:38 | |
| do have. | 00:16:41 | |
| We also looked at prohibiting cities from having an agreement to grant an exclusive use to avert for a company to operate those | 00:16:46 | |
| reports. | 00:16:50 | |
| We feel like that this is a free enterprise. | 00:16:55 | |
| We don't want to silo certain other. | 00:16:58 | |
| Innovations and opportunities. | 00:17:02 | |
| When when this starts coming out. | 00:17:04 | |
| Drone Up begins in 2023, so that was the other small Uas. | 00:17:08 | |
| Package delivery company drawn up. | 00:17:12 | |
| In 2024, drone registration rule was actually released for comments we worked through. | 00:17:14 | |
| Tirelessly all year did a study to make sure that we were capturing everything that we needed. | 00:17:20 | |
| And the rules actually just came out and. | 00:17:26 | |
| Are affected as of January 1 of this year. We are developing the program right now to accept those drone registration. | 00:17:29 | |
| And provide certificates to to those operators. | 00:17:38 | |
| And this is. | 00:17:41 | |
| Drone registration would be for anybody that's operating them commercially. | 00:17:43 | |
| So there will be more information from office. | 00:17:47 | |
| About that country of origin band, there's been a big. | 00:17:51 | |
| A big. | 00:17:56 | |
| Push to make sure that we are working with the right. | 00:17:58 | |
| Countries that are developing these aircraft. | 00:18:02 | |
| At a federal level, I saw saying that a federal level, there's issues with. | 00:18:05 | |
| Certain countries that the FAA's. | 00:18:09 | |
| Or the our federal partners are aware of and they're making sure that we're not capturing. | 00:18:12 | |
| Critical information Sensitive data that could be used for other purposes than in what's intended so. | 00:18:19 | |
| Aerospace lease laws, those are on the books. | 00:18:29 | |
| We're not intending to do anything with those as of right now. | 00:18:31 | |
| Land use protection for vertiports or any? Not just vertiports, but any land use protection policy for any. | 00:18:35 | |
| Aviation facility, we feel that it's very important that the ground around these airports and verdict ports are. | 00:18:41 | |
| Umm planned in a way that it helps support the. | 00:18:48 | |
| The use of aviation. | 00:18:53 | |
| We don't want a high riser to be built next to a vertiport. | 00:18:55 | |
| It would defeat the purpose of that operation into that location. | 00:18:58 | |
| And then Project Delta in 2024 was launched there. | 00:19:02 | |
| Air Logistics and Transportation Alliance. | 00:19:07 | |
| We're looking at different modes of this technology to help support an aviation to support medical use. | 00:19:10 | |
| Cargo throughout the state. | 00:19:17 | |
| Passengers. | 00:19:20 | |
| And um. | 00:19:21 | |
| Just the overall. | 00:19:23 | |
| You know, transportation. | 00:19:26 | |
| Encompasses a lot, so we're just trying to make sure we're capturing everything and project Alta. | 00:19:27 | |
| Is partnered with 47G, Goeo, Inland Port and UDOT and then some private, private companies that are very interested in pushing | 00:19:32 | |
| this forward so. | 00:19:37 | |
| Go ahead, Tony. | 00:19:43 | |
| Some current studies that we're doing right now, I'm just going to breeze through these is technology integration. What? | 00:19:46 | |
| What technology do we need to help support this operation? | 00:19:52 | |
| And we are finalizing, I mean, almost off the press, an economic impact study that will be made available and all of our studies | 00:19:56 | |
| are available online. | 00:20:00 | |
| But this economic impact study for advanced and mobility we're pretty excited about because it's showing. | 00:20:05 | |
| US information, you know, 11,000 new jobs, $8.8 billion in business activity, 1.8 billion in additional tax revenues that would | 00:20:10 | |
| come to the state. | 00:20:14 | |
| And that's just if operations happen here now we've looked at. | 00:20:18 | |
| Manufacturing, if there was a company that wanted to manufacture here, we've got numbers that support that as well and so. | 00:20:23 | |
| I you know I'm here to stay and I know 47 G behind me will will mention this too, but our aviation and aerospace industry is very | 00:20:30 | |
| alive and active. | 00:20:34 | |
| In the state of Utah, we're excited. | 00:20:39 | |
| I'm in charge of several working groups. Like I said, we're not just. | 00:20:42 | |
| Throwing dart at the dart board and hoping it sticks where we want it to. We're actually. | 00:20:47 | |
| Going through a very methodical process and making sure that. | 00:20:52 | |
| Providing detailed information to the legislators to make those. | 00:20:55 | |
| Informed decisions. | 00:21:00 | |
| And these working groups are helping us do that. | 00:21:02 | |
| Common concerns that we've found throughout the working group would be community outreach and education. That's at the top of the | 00:21:06 | |
| list. | 00:21:08 | |
| Each working group even though that they are not related to. | 00:21:12 | |
| You know, tied to a community, they felt like community outreach was, was very important. | 00:21:16 | |
| Enhancing existing infrastructure. | 00:21:21 | |
| We have several heliports that are scattered throughout the state of Utah. They are all privately used. | 00:21:24 | |
| There are no public. | 00:21:29 | |
| Use of heliports in the state of Utah. So there needs to be some type of. | 00:21:31 | |
| Study done to understand what they look like. What are the. | 00:21:36 | |
| Conditions. | 00:21:39 | |
| And could they be used to operate these aircraft And we're working with the guidance through the FAA on that type of stuff. | 00:21:40 | |
| And then local zoning requirements. | 00:21:48 | |
| I'll talk about that one here in a minute. | 00:21:51 | |
| Or a second. | 00:21:53 | |
| We have several partners. I mentioned 47 G we've we collaborate with over. | 00:21:55 | |
| Just about 36 states at a multi state collaborative. | 00:22:02 | |
| Group. We are one of the founding partners or states that support that collaborative. | 00:22:05 | |
| We've got an MOU signed with Jump Arrow. Jump Arrow is a company that's developing and manufacturing a aircraft that will fly one | 00:22:10 | |
| individual with paramedic. | 00:22:15 | |
| Background. | 00:22:19 | |
| Life saving skills. | 00:22:21 | |
| To an individual or location. | 00:22:23 | |
| And then they would get out and help. | 00:22:25 | |
| Be like the first on scene. | 00:22:28 | |
| And we felt like partnering with them would help us understand. | 00:22:30 | |
| Throughout Utah, the need for. | 00:22:34 | |
| This type of medical support. | 00:22:37 | |
| Electric Aviation Subcommittee. | 00:22:41 | |
| I'm a, I'm a part of that, the leadership group. | 00:22:43 | |
| Aspire Senate Bill 125 a couple years ago was established. Carlos Braceras, the executive director, is the chairman of that. | 00:22:46 | |
| Of you not. | 00:22:54 | |
| He's the chairman of that. | 00:22:55 | |
| And we're looking at how we can enhance. | 00:22:56 | |
| The electrification system throughout all modes of transportation and aviation is one of those, and so we are coming. | 00:23:00 | |
| Working together with Aspire out of Utah State University. | 00:23:06 | |
| Help support that initiative and. | 00:23:10 | |
| And I'll tell you why we're we're pushing so hard. | 00:23:13 | |
| Next. So this year what we're trying to do is several things with that electrification. | 00:23:16 | |
| Subcommittee. | 00:23:22 | |
| Umm, the governor has budgeted $2,000,000 to help develop charging. | 00:23:24 | |
| Stations at airports charging station would be one similar to the one that you see on that picture. | 00:23:29 | |
| That aircraft is. | 00:23:35 | |
| Rail it is not an. | 00:23:37 | |
| An AI chat or. | 00:23:39 | |
| Produced image. | 00:23:43 | |
| That aircraft is being manufactured in Vermont. | 00:23:45 | |
| And, umm. | 00:23:48 | |
| It's pretty cool. | 00:23:50 | |
| I mean, they're, they're really cool aircraft, not just because I'm. | 00:23:52 | |
| I'm a student pilot and like to see aircraft, but it's really revolutionizing the way we're looking at and using. | 00:23:55 | |
| Aviation for transportation but. | 00:24:01 | |
| We're needing to identify what. | 00:24:03 | |
| The The $2,000,000. | 00:24:06 | |
| Won't go far, so we're trying to identify what. | 00:24:09 | |
| Or what? What airports need that electrification first? | 00:24:12 | |
| And it's being. | 00:24:17 | |
| Talked about on the Hill right now, all of these things are Senate Bill 96. | 00:24:19 | |
| Community outreach and education. | 00:24:23 | |
| Campaign. | 00:24:25 | |
| Is instructing this bill is instructing you not to develop that community outreach and education. | 00:24:27 | |
| Campaign and work with stakeholders to get that done. | 00:24:32 | |
| Advance their Mobility toolkit. This toolkit is going to help actually support. | 00:24:36 | |
| Your city. | 00:24:41 | |
| What it's intended to do is look at ways to. | 00:24:42 | |
| Craft ordinances to help support this. | 00:24:46 | |
| Or to support advanced air mobility. | 00:24:51 | |
| I understand, I worked with a lot of different cities and they have no idea where to start. | 00:24:54 | |
| They don't know what to do. In fact, some of them have just said. | 00:24:57 | |
| You're not landing a helicopter. | 00:25:00 | |
| In the in the vicinity of our city. | 00:25:02 | |
| Well, this toolkit, while it's not recommended to use, we're not forcing you guys to use it, but it will provide a road map or | 00:25:05 | |
| some opportunity to look at to say, hey, should we adopt this? Should we not? | 00:25:11 | |
| And it is going to be authored by us. And so the research that's going to be done is going to be pretty heavy. | 00:25:17 | |
| And then the funding of those electric charters, so. | 00:25:22 | |
| Go ahead and go on, I think. | 00:25:25 | |
| I'm going to skip through these. They're just images that can or videos that can actually be found. | 00:25:27 | |
| Online, they're, like I said, they're pretty interesting. | 00:25:33 | |
| But um. | 00:25:37 | |
| We are working towards right now our next step. | 00:25:38 | |
| Is working through cargo logistics. How can we? | 00:25:41 | |
| And we're seeing a. | 00:25:45 | |
| The manufacturers of these aircraft. | 00:25:47 | |
| Moving that direction right now to. | 00:25:50 | |
| To help adopt this type of aviation like. | 00:25:53 | |
| I don't think if they just plot one of these. | 00:25:57 | |
| Aircraft here in the middle of the state, people are going to line up to get, you know, get a ride. | 00:25:59 | |
| And so I think being able to vet it out, demonstrate it, work with communities, work with the state and other stakeholders to help | 00:26:04 | |
| understand what it is so. | 00:26:08 | |
| I appreciate your time. | 00:26:13 | |
| Those that's my end of my presentation. Do you guys have any questions? | 00:26:14 | |
| I know I spoke fast. I wanted to get 47 G some time to. | 00:26:20 | |
| To discuss the partnerships that we're working with, it's really good. Where's the best place to go online to find those videos? | 00:26:23 | |
| So you can find. | 00:26:30 | |
| I'll actually post this. I think I you'll have this, you'll have this presentation so you can get it off of that. | 00:26:32 | |
| Yeah, Yeah, you can. They're they're public. They're public videos. Yeah. So thank you so much. This was such a good introduction | 00:26:41 | |
| and really wanted to talk about what the states doing, where the partnership is. We've been able to work with you guys and have a | 00:26:47 | |
| good voice at the state, which is great because we have that hospital corridor and all. | 00:26:52 | |
| Already working. I mean you were talking about some of our partners and some of the zoning that we already have. So thank you and | 00:26:57 | |
| that's a great read in for 47 G So I'll just invite you guys. | 00:27:03 | |
| You guys up? | 00:27:08 | |
| And I'll let you introduce yourselves. | 00:27:10 | |
| So move it along. | 00:27:12 | |
| Thank you. | 00:27:15 | |
| Either way works fine. So if you guys already have it pulled up over there, yeah, give me just like 2 seconds. Let me pull it up. | 00:27:17 | |
| OK, let's go. | 00:27:21 | |
| If you could pull it up, that'd be great. | 00:27:26 | |
| Good evening. Thank you so much for having us here. My name is Corianne Edwards and I am the Chief Strategy Officer for 47 G. | 00:27:29 | |
| And with me, I have Chris Nuts. | 00:27:37 | |
| And Ian Robertson and we're going to tag team this presentation just a little bit. | 00:27:39 | |
| To talk about it. | 00:27:45 | |
| Look at this great technology. | 00:27:50 | |
| And Corean, you're the chief strategy officer. | 00:27:56 | |
| That's what you said and. | 00:27:59 | |
| And being is transferring to the academia and local government. But right now he's been, he's the director of critical materials. | 00:28:01 | |
| So it'll make more sense if they give their presentation. I just don't want to. And Chris is our executive director for Project | 00:28:09 | |
| Alpha. Yeah and he was part of the federal is it Aviation Administration is how you I normally just say FAA. So I was like, is it | 00:28:15 | |
| aviation? Okay, former deputy administrator of the FBI. | 00:28:21 | |
| Perfect, SO. | 00:28:27 | |
| Very lucky to have you guys here. | 00:28:28 | |
| See, I jinxed myself when I. | 00:28:35 | |
| Just present, OK? | 00:28:42 | |
| Thank you. | 00:28:43 | |
| Doing that and being my. | 00:28:45 | |
| Advancer. | 00:28:48 | |
| And I'm going to go through this fast. I know it's been a long day, I'm sure for everybody and but I want to give you some good | 00:28:49 | |
| information. | 00:28:52 | |
| About 47 G. | 00:28:56 | |
| And so we are the, as he's pulling this up, I'll just let you know we are the aerospace and defense. | 00:28:58 | |
| Association and organization for the State of Utah. | 00:29:05 | |
| And I'll just have the advance through that. | 00:29:11 | |
| Our mission is to build the world's premier. I'm sorry, it's so weird having all of you behind me. | 00:29:17 | |
| But to build the premier ecosystem for aerospace and defense companies. | 00:29:23 | |
| In the world, and I'll talk through how awesome Utah is in this space in just a minute. | 00:29:28 | |
| We bring together academia, institute service providers, government and just like. | 00:29:34 | |
| You got here. | 00:29:38 | |
| And community partners to foster talent, entrepreneurship. | 00:29:40 | |
| Fuel innovation for America's deep, deep tech frontier. | 00:29:44 | |
| A little bit about the organization. It was originally started two years ago and it was named the Utah Aerospace and Defense | 00:29:49 | |
| Association. | 00:29:52 | |
| Didn't love the name? You oughta. | 00:29:56 | |
| And rebranded to 47 G. | 00:29:58 | |
| Giving heritage, giving homage to our heritage and and some exciting things in the in the aviation space. | 00:30:01 | |
| Also our last this last summer merged with the Utah Advanced Materials and Manufacturing also known as you AMI initiative to | 00:30:08 | |
| really give a look at what 47 G is today. | 00:30:14 | |
| Were or strengthening Utah's position in the aerospace, defense, cyber and advanced manufacturing space. | 00:30:20 | |
| The exciting thing is, is all universities have seen value in this, especially in the workforce. | 00:30:27 | |
| Component. So all of our universities are part of the 47G. | 00:30:32 | |
| Partnership as well as many of our tech colleges and Salt Lake Community College from that and then working a lot of K12. | 00:30:38 | |
| Thank you. We collaborate with just under 200 partners and members. | 00:30:46 | |
| And really, the exciting thing about this is 47 G was asked to start by. | 00:30:52 | |
| A lot of our primes, Martha, come and came to us and said it's time for Utah to have this voice. We've been dominated in this | 00:31:00 | |
| field for a long time, but we don't have an industry voice. | 00:31:04 | |
| Which started that working with great organizations like you have here, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Elfry, Harris, Beta Technologies | 00:31:09 | |
| that that Chris will talk about a little bit and Fordham Technologies. | 00:31:14 | |
| All in in the cool spaces of aerospace and defense. | 00:31:20 | |
| Some of our focus areas, community and industry engagement. So really the collaboration of bringing the industry together in a | 00:31:25 | |
| single voice market insight, where is the market going? Just as Paul talked about this advanced air and mobility, it's going to | 00:31:31 | |
| change the game for aviation. | 00:31:37 | |
| And and it's not. | 00:31:43 | |
| It's not years out, it's now. | 00:31:45 | |
| And it's going to change the game. So market insight, capital, connectivity, this has been typically an industry that hasn't a | 00:31:47 | |
| lot. | 00:31:51 | |
| A lot of capital investment in that. We're changing that space. | 00:31:55 | |
| And and that's very exciting as capital is coming in to advance the technologies. | 00:31:59 | |
| For this industry, we provide a lot of technical assistance, especially to our small businesses. | 00:32:04 | |
| Supply chain, some other things like for Lockheed Martin here in your city. | 00:32:09 | |
| Looking at what other supply chain needs and how can we connect them to all of our amazing Utah companies, they shouldn't be. | 00:32:14 | |
| From a vendor in California when we probably got it right here in Utah, so really working with our industries to. | 00:32:22 | |
| To expand that market economic development, which I know is a high priority for you. | 00:32:27 | |
| Here and in the city and much more, we work a lot at the workforce development side of it. Talked about all of the university | 00:32:33 | |
| partnerships. | 00:32:37 | |
| With the merger of You Amy, they focus on advanced manufacturing and what that looks like. | 00:32:42 | |
| The State of Utah has five targeted industries that bring the highest GDP to the state of Utah, and aerospace and defense and | 00:32:49 | |
| advance manufacturing are two of those five. | 00:32:54 | |
| Life sciences, IT, and financial services are the other ones. | 00:33:00 | |
| So really taking advantage and and bringing the voice of such major industries. | 00:33:05 | |
| In our state. | 00:33:10 | |
| And then the national security and cyber defense of all of this really securing. | 00:33:12 | |
| Utah's position as being part of our national security and defense system. | 00:33:17 | |
| The numbers are extremely impressive. 47 G just released. It actually hasn't been publicly released. It'll be done this month, | 00:33:23 | |
| but. | 00:33:27 | |
| But the report came out and January talking about the economic impact for this study. All numbers that I will that you see here | 00:33:32 | |
| are direct, indirect and induced. So the direct times the multiplier that comes with that with this industry about 1.9. | 00:33:41 | |
| 500 and 500,000 total job impact. | 00:33:50 | |
| The industry employment grew 23.4% over the last five years outpatient outpacing the nation. | 00:33:54 | |
| Wages and aerospace and defense rose by 31.1% over the last five years, outpacing both the nation and total wage growth in Utah. | 00:34:01 | |
| Aerospace and defense industry, including critical supply chain and infrastructure, accounts for 19.2 of Utah's total GDP. There | 00:34:10 | |
| isn't another industry sector that even touches that. | 00:34:15 | |
| And Utah was the highest five year GDP growth in the nation among states for aerospace and defense. | 00:34:22 | |
| About 61.9%. | 00:34:30 | |
| And nearly 1.6 billion in direct annual tax and revenue. So it's a serious industry in the state of Utah and a serious industry | 00:34:32 | |
| across the nation. | 00:34:37 | |
| And this is that was the preservice, the lucky drone there that we saw there. | 00:34:41 | |
| So cool. Vineyard is so primed and Mayor, you have been so um. | 00:34:46 | |
| Visionary and and seeing the advantages in the aerospace and defense and and. | 00:34:53 | |
| The defense technology that's that's happening and coming and you have been so engaged in this and and so visionary. | 00:35:00 | |
| And and understanding this ecosystem and. | 00:35:08 | |
| And working so hard to bring it to the New York City, some of the things that the Vineyard is really poised for and, and things | 00:35:11 | |
| we've been working on is you have. | 00:35:17 | |
| A lot of great land for growth and not everybody can say that. | 00:35:22 | |
| I live in Weber County and we don't have much land left. | 00:35:26 | |
| So you're lucky to have that opportunity just for the attraction of the growth. | 00:35:29 | |
| What Provo is doing? | 00:35:35 | |
| With their growth and and the expansion and the multi $1,000,000 projects. | 00:35:37 | |
| That will be happening. | 00:35:42 | |
| It's going to be a huge advantage here in Utah County and the post proximity to Vineyard is going to just play a critical role. | 00:35:43 | |
| And what you're able to do and how you're going to connect that primarily ****. | 00:35:51 | |
| From the hospital side of it to the to the people side of it, to the business side of it, you're just in such. | 00:35:56 | |
| A great position and then use your whole multimodal connectivity that you have in veneer. It is really a secret sauce and | 00:36:03 | |
| something special. | 00:36:07 | |
| That is going to your vision for for doing all of this is going to in my opinion. | 00:36:11 | |
| Give you generations and generations of of growth for your citizens and and families and everybody else that moves to Vineyard. | 00:36:18 | |
| So with the front runner again the the Provo airport, future rail hubs. | 00:36:26 | |
| And different things is just going to really have all that transportation connectivity that we've talked about with Paul here | 00:36:34 | |
| today and and just the transportation. | 00:36:38 | |
| Some really cool existing partners that are launching you into the space for Huntsman Cancer Institute with Paul's presentation | 00:36:42 | |
| with advanced air mobilities and the drones and all the Med. | 00:36:47 | |
| We can just see how that is going to be a massive game changer. | 00:36:52 | |
| For you here in the city and how that's going to apply. | 00:36:57 | |
| You know, Lockheed Martin being, you know, skunkworks and, and part of all of the defense tech that's happening, they're really on | 00:37:00 | |
| the cutting edge here, right here in your community with a lot of our defense. | 00:37:05 | |
| Pieces of this so you really have an advanced. | 00:37:11 | |
| Industry already budding in in this community. | 00:37:16 | |
| Beta Technologies is one of the electric aircraft that is part of Project Alta and part of all the great work that you have been | 00:37:20 | |
| doing. | 00:37:24 | |
| With Advanced air mobility and MLU 47G. | 00:37:28 | |
| With the support of the Governor's Office of Economic Development and the Utah Department and you dot Utah Department of | 00:37:33 | |
| Transportation. | 00:37:37 | |
| With their letters of support, we were able to sign an MO U with Beta Technologies. They are building really the first aircraft, | 00:37:40 | |
| these electric aircraft. | 00:37:44 | |
| That will be coming. There's hope that the FAA will be certifying them soon. We can get the federal government settled down doing | 00:37:49 | |
| good work, right? And Data Technologies is committed to. | 00:37:55 | |
| To moving into Utah and operating out of here. So super with bringing operators here with their technologies. So, so excited. | 00:38:01 | |
| This is really the 1st place they've looked out outside of their headquarters in Vermont, so. | 00:38:10 | |
| Again, Utah has something special. And again, your mayor has been in the forefront of all that. She's been at all the meetings | 00:38:15 | |
| with data. She's been having all of those conversations and just really seeing. | 00:38:20 | |
| This vision and where this could go and, and, and thank you. | 00:38:27 | |
| Mayor for for being part of the voice that's helped shape and evolve this UMM. | 00:38:30 | |
| And Vineyard is definitely has a seat at the table. | 00:38:35 | |
| For those pieces. | 00:38:38 | |
| You know, Excel is such a global leader in our communities here in Utah and the connections that are happening there with Vineyard | 00:38:40 | |
| City and then just your amazing access to higher education institution and the innovation districts you just really have. | 00:38:47 | |
| This secret sauce and this building of this ecosystem that is going to be quite amazing already is amazing, but. | 00:38:55 | |
| Just budding for for what's to come. | 00:39:02 | |
| And so that was my last slide just to talk about these are the works that we've been doing at 47 G with the New York City to this | 00:39:07 | |
| point. We've got a lot of exciting ideas for what's next and and what's to come. | 00:39:13 | |
| I'm thankful for your council members. They've been very engaged. We've had counts to meet. They want to know what we're doing and | 00:39:19 | |
| where all this is going and, and just appreciate your engagement. I'm just going to quickly turn it over to Chris to talk about | 00:39:23 | |
| Project Alto a little bit more. | 00:39:28 | |
| To just augment all the great things that that Paul said and then. | 00:39:33 | |
| And then a question. Yep. And then we'll have Ian just talk about next steps. And so thank you with that. | 00:39:39 | |
| Question. | 00:39:45 | |
| We are. This is actually a discussion for the Council, but we might have time to open it after they're done. | 00:39:48 | |
| So that's no, I can't ask a question about that. | 00:39:55 | |
| The presentation is still going and so we might have time to open it. | 00:39:58 | |
| And Corianne, thank you. It's nice because you also just came from Goyo, which is the government's Office of Economic Opportunity | 00:40:04 | |
| and so. | 00:40:08 | |
| My job at .7 G it's fun to have you, you know, be so deep into the space, but also talk about the economic advantages for a | 00:40:12 | |
| community because. | 00:40:17 | |
| Right now you mentioned the five strategic. | 00:40:21 | |
| Kind of markets that the state is going after and we have the same ones in Vineyard as including a 6th 1, which is Agrotech as we | 00:40:25 | |
| try to diversify the economic landscape of our community. And so this partnership is really meaningful and you highlighted that | 00:40:32 | |
| very well. Go ahead, Chris, excited to hear from you. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you council members in the city attorney. | 00:40:40 | |
| As well as the others in that are leading this city. | 00:40:47 | |
| It's good to be with you again. | 00:40:51 | |
| You've had a lot of information already delivered on advanced air mobility. It's essentially bringing electric aircraft, electric | 00:40:53 | |
| aviation. | 00:40:57 | |
| To the state of Utah. | 00:41:01 | |
| In May of last year. | 00:41:03 | |
| Governor Spencer Cox. | 00:41:04 | |
| Stood in front of the state and and gave a mandate to all of us who work in aviation. | 00:41:06 | |
| To implement. | 00:41:12 | |
| Advanced air mobility prior to the Winter Olympics in 2034. | 00:41:15 | |
| His. His. | 00:41:20 | |
| Invitation for us to do that was in line with where technology is today. | 00:41:22 | |
| It's not ahead of technology, it's right in lockstep with technology and I'll talk a little more about that as we press forward. | 00:41:28 | |
| But in doing so. | 00:41:35 | |
| He outlined the fact that we needed to. | 00:41:36 | |
| Do as Paul suggested earlier. | 00:41:39 | |
| And start. | 00:41:42 | |
| Our crawl, walk, run. | 00:41:43 | |
| In order for this not to be the novelty of the Olympics, but an. | 00:41:45 | |
| Institutionalized infrastructure. | 00:41:50 | |
| Supporting. | 00:41:53 | |
| The transportation systems that support the Olympics. | 00:41:54 | |
| So we're well on our way to do that. | 00:41:57 | |
| As Corianne noted. | 00:42:00 | |
| We took the current world leader in manufacturing of these electric aircraft and they have chosen Utah. | 00:42:02 | |
| Who we are. | 00:42:11 | |
| Our work ethic, our. | 00:42:12 | |
| Integrity and our desire and vision for this. | 00:42:14 | |
| And decided to make us the very first of its kind partnership. | 00:42:18 | |
| For bringing electric aviation to a state in the country. So we are leading right now in that. | 00:42:22 | |
| In fact, this aircraft, Aaliyah as it is called, will be visiting the state. | 00:42:28 | |
| Within the next month. | 00:42:34 | |
| We will get information to you about how you can actually see it operational. | 00:42:36 | |
| And step into it, touch it, see how it operates. | 00:42:43 | |
| It is the future of aviation. | 00:42:49 | |
| These aircraft are moving forward. The technology is being proven. Utah will be a proving ground for this technology as part of | 00:42:51 | |
| our partnership. | 00:42:57 | |
| They will. | 00:43:02 | |
| Continue to work with the FAA as we have continued to partner with the FAA to make sure that we understand the regulatory | 00:43:04 | |
| environment and what will be required. | 00:43:08 | |
| To certify these aircraft so that they operate. | 00:43:13 | |
| Safely, uh. | 00:43:16 | |
| And securely. | 00:43:17 | |
| And financially in a financially viable way. | 00:43:19 | |
| And so that's our commitment to doing this and there's a four phased approach that we have. | 00:43:23 | |
| To bringing these aircraft. | 00:43:28 | |
| Umm, we started a couple of years ago as. | 00:43:30 | |
| Paul mentioned. | 00:43:34 | |
| With drone activities with and we look to expand those drone activities. | 00:43:36 | |
| What he didn't mention was zip lines. | 00:43:41 | |
| Clientele or more than 400 customers a day that they deliver to. | 00:43:44 | |
| In the South Jordan area. | 00:43:48 | |
| And they do so with waivers from the FAA that allow them to safely operate. | 00:43:50 | |
| When we learn that that is taking place and then it's been taking place in a safe. | 00:43:56 | |
| And efficient way. | 00:44:01 | |
| I think some of us are surprised. | 00:44:02 | |
| That advance their mobility is to that level already. | 00:44:04 | |
| And they'll be changing out their aircraft, they'll be changing their operating norms, but others will be stepping in. | 00:44:07 | |
| But along our 4 phases. | 00:44:14 | |
| We will be doing various use cases. We will go from small package delivery, which is currently what exists. | 00:44:17 | |
| Into cargo delivery, whether that be small cargo to larger cargo, then we've got first responder capabilities. | 00:44:24 | |
| Will have avalanche mitigation. | 00:44:33 | |
| Will have firefighting capabilities that will all be supported by these advanced air mobility measures. | 00:44:36 | |
| Then we'll have more medical, whether that be life, flight or whether that be. | 00:44:42 | |
| Moving people from a rural area. | 00:44:47 | |
| In a more effective way to medical attention. | 00:44:49 | |
| As we know in some of our. | 00:44:53 | |
| Our tribal communities, for example, you can be very rural. | 00:44:56 | |
| And have a medical situation that becomes much more risky because of the inability to quickly maneuver and that cost effective way | 00:45:00 | |
| to maneuver. So these electric aircraft. | 00:45:06 | |
| The motor for the beta aircraft. | 00:45:13 | |
| Whom were delighted to be as partners. Has 23 parts. | 00:45:15 | |
| It is not a combustion engine, so the price to operate these vehicles. | 00:45:20 | |
| Is 140th of that of the A. | 00:45:25 | |
| Helicopter. | 00:45:28 | |
| And the noise that it makes is one 100th of that of an existing helicopter. | 00:45:29 | |
| And so when you have no combustion parts, your need for maintenance and. | 00:45:35 | |
| And overhaul is reduced significantly lowering those costs. | 00:45:40 | |
| And the more the aircraft can stay in motion, the cheaper that. | 00:45:44 | |
| Operation becomes. | 00:45:49 | |
| And it becomes to the point where this is not a replacement for helicopters. | 00:45:51 | |
| It is the new way. | 00:45:56 | |
| Of commuting. It is the new way of moving. | 00:45:58 | |
| Cargo and. | 00:46:02 | |
| Infrastructure around. | 00:46:04 | |
| So in those continued phases, we move into the use cases for passengers. | 00:46:05 | |
| There will be onward. | 00:46:12 | |
| Passenger travel where an individual may want to get all the way to Park City. | 00:46:13 | |
| From Birmingham, AL and take passenger aircraft to to the. | 00:46:19 | |
| Location of a. | 00:46:23 | |
| Of a vertiport and then take onward travel being electric aviation to a smaller community. | 00:46:25 | |
| Some of the others would be on demand air taxis. | 00:46:32 | |
| Tourism, as Paul mentioned, down to our. | 00:46:36 | |
| Our beautiful national parks. | 00:46:39 | |
| But it will also eventually evolve into as the battery capabilities last longer. | 00:46:41 | |
| The aircraft sizes will increase and you'll start to see commuter options. | 00:46:47 | |
| Much like the. | 00:46:53 | |
| Passenger ferry operations that you see in the Puget Sound. | 00:46:55 | |
| In the Seattle area. | 00:46:59 | |
| Where the consumer has a choice. | 00:47:01 | |
| To either circumnavigate the Puget Sound to get to Seattle or to take a ferry these. | 00:47:04 | |
| That is the vision of these lower costs. | 00:47:11 | |
| High operating capability aircraft. | 00:47:14 | |
| And so we're moving forward smartly. We don't want this to be the novelty. | 00:47:17 | |
| Of the Winter Olympics, we want it to be. | 00:47:22 | |
| The institutional answer to those things. | 00:47:24 | |
| The aircraft are now. | 00:47:28 | |
| The technology is now. I do have a video link. | 00:47:30 | |
| That I'm happy to play now at 7 minutes. | 00:47:34 | |
| Or we can move that to the presentation that you have. | 00:47:37 | |
| It is mainstream. | 00:47:41 | |
| CBS Sunday Morning. | 00:47:43 | |
| Updating the world on the status of this technology. | 00:47:45 | |
| It can be found on YouTube. It is worth the look. It highlights both beta. | 00:47:49 | |
| As well as the other OEM's who will all play a role. | 00:47:54 | |
| In meeting those use use cases for the state. Would you guys like to see it? | 00:47:59 | |
| Right now or would you like to watch it? | 00:48:04 | |
| On your own time. | 00:48:06 | |
| OK. | 00:48:10 | |
| We will to be also share it with the public. | 00:48:11 | |
| Yes, and it's available publicly right now. | 00:48:13 | |
| Yeah, we'll make it available. | 00:48:18 | |
| It is embedded in this presentation. I've had the privilege of speaking with you before, but I look forward to any questions that | 00:48:22 | |
| you might have. | 00:48:26 | |
| The key here is that we continue to collaborate, that we create an ecosystem that includes. | 00:48:30 | |
| The four essential elements. | 00:48:37 | |
| Foundational issues that have to be in place in order for this to. | 00:48:39 | |
| Be successful. Those are infrastructure development. | 00:48:44 | |
| The identification of vertiport locations. The identification of electrification capabilities. | 00:48:48 | |
| That enable these aircraft to operate the identification. | 00:48:54 | |
| Of the expansion and networks and clusters. | 00:48:58 | |
| As your mayor and you as a as council members have been working on. | 00:49:02 | |
| To cooperate with. | 00:49:07 | |
| Those communities across Utah Lake. | 00:49:09 | |
| To cooperate with the communities across Utah County. | 00:49:12 | |
| To create a network if you will of how these can effectively. | 00:49:15 | |
| Change and augment your transportation solutions now. So infrastructure. | 00:49:20 | |
| Item number 2 is talent development you've got. | 00:49:26 | |
| Umm, we're only as good in bringing these aircraft to the community as we are in flying them and maintaining them and and. | 00:49:30 | |
| Taking care of the infrastructure that supports them. | 00:49:40 | |
| And so our universities are partnering with us to develop those capabilities. | 00:49:43 | |
| And then the third one is regulatory reform, which Paul talked about. | 00:49:49 | |
| We've got to monitor, we've got to help our legislators, we've got to help our councils. | 00:49:53 | |
| To understand the importance. | 00:49:58 | |
| Of development, the developmental impact of bringing these aircraft, the economic impact. | 00:50:01 | |
| The capability of. | 00:50:07 | |
| Retaining the talent that works. | 00:50:08 | |
| That we're working so hard to develop in our neighborhoods, retaining them in our neighborhoods. | 00:50:11 | |
| And we're looking at the regulatory oversight to help make that happen. And then the last one is the community engagement. | 00:50:16 | |
| We can bring the electric aircraft here, but if nobody wants them landing near their house, even if they're quiet, even if they | 00:50:23 | |
| are economically important to us. So any chance we get to do what we're doing with Beta and bringing the aircraft here to | 00:50:28 | |
| demonstrate these capabilities we're looking to do? | 00:50:33 | |
| So thank you very much. We'll turn to Ian. | 00:50:39 | |
| Thanks so much, Chris. | 00:50:42 | |
| And I'll, I'll be pretty quick here. My name is Ian Robertson. I am current my current role with 47G. | 00:50:43 | |
| Is the director of critical materials. I'm working on EDA Tech of grants Strategy development Grant building a ecosystem of | 00:50:50 | |
| critical materials here in Utah. | 00:50:54 | |
| But in the next few months of that grant will sunset, I will transition over to. | 00:50:59 | |
| A full time position with court under Koreans. | 00:51:04 | |
| Team which I will be over partnerships with cities, counties, municipalities, local government as well as academia. | 00:51:07 | |
| So today I have the opportunity of presenting. | 00:51:13 | |
| Not only as 470, but I'm also a proud resident of Vineyard. | 00:51:16 | |
| Just a few blocks that way. | 00:51:20 | |
| And I'm excited to be here. | 00:51:22 | |
| Also, if you can't tell, I'm always nervous to follow them. It's almost as if like. | 00:51:24 | |
| The opening act is going after. | 00:51:30 | |
| The main show. | 00:51:32 | |
| So you can imagine the shoes I have to follow. | 00:51:33 | |
| So to talk about some of the focus initiatives for 2025 and beyond. | 00:51:37 | |
| As it relates to Vineyard City, every year, every time that we meet with our partners. | 00:51:42 | |
| And these municipalities that we talked to, we create what they call partnership plans and these are some of the ideas that we | 00:51:48 | |
| have. | 00:51:52 | |
| Have discussed what some of the value added to the city. | 00:51:55 | |
| And of course, I am open to these conversations, not only with the mayor but to the City Council as well. So please feel free to | 00:52:01 | |
| reach out to me and contact me for anything that you may need, any questions or clarifications, But the role in advanced | 00:52:06 | |
| manufacturing and defense as it relates to some of our ideas. | 00:52:11 | |
| With Vineyard City in 2025 and beyond. | 00:52:17 | |
| Is uh. | 00:52:21 | |
| Vineyards location makes it makes it absolutely strategic. | 00:52:22 | |
| For the logistics, supply chain and technology integration such as advanced materials development, artificial intelligence, | 00:52:26 | |
| additive manufacturing, which like 3D printing, we're not just talking about what you do in your basement making little figurines. | 00:52:32 | |
| Components that go into things such as the RAM initiative and our partners with like data technologies, Stratum and so on. | 00:52:40 | |
| Of course, new energy technologies. | 00:52:48 | |
| Electric electronics, mineralization, or your avionics. | 00:52:50 | |
| Operate these. | 00:52:53 | |
| Machines and then, of course, cybersecurity technologies. | 00:52:56 | |
| The opportunities exist here for current and future Vineyard based businesses to supply aerospace materials. | 00:52:59 | |
| We talked about that a little bit earlier in our presentation. | 00:53:05 | |
| To major contractors such as Hexcel or or Lockheed Martin. | 00:53:08 | |
| And of course, we want to support the emergency clean, the emerging clean energy infrastructure. | 00:53:13 | |
| As we understand that with with the base load concerns as most cities have as they start to develop and grow. | 00:53:18 | |
| You can go on to the next one. | 00:53:25 | |
| All right, again, the idea with the expenditure Utah County Airspace and Defense cluster is to attract aerospace, defense, tech, | 00:53:29 | |
| composite businesses. | 00:53:33 | |
| And others. | 00:53:38 | |
| Such as the AM companies and materials engineering firms. | 00:53:39 | |
| Benefit from the regional transportation hub and developing innovation campus. We understand that this. | 00:53:43 | |
| Often you hear vineyards, the first mile, last mile. | 00:53:47 | |
| Of our front runner. | 00:53:50 | |
| And of course, as that expands, that will change. But you see things at the inland port. | 00:53:52 | |
| Discussion to start to come up and then of course a close by to these regional airport. | 00:53:57 | |
| I'm sorry, I thought someone said something. I apologize. | 00:54:04 | |
| Going forward, again another. | 00:54:07 | |
| Aspect of this partnership with Vineyard to strengthen workforce pipelines. | 00:54:10 | |
| We understand the work with the local academic community, such as UVU to expand the workforce development initiatives. | 00:54:14 | |
| And pathways for manufacturing such as aviation, tech AM and National security. Security which is 2. | 00:54:22 | |
| Two of those aviation tech and national security, Social Security. | 00:54:29 | |
| Is a. | 00:54:32 | |
| Is on the forefront of UVU and their studies, and you're seeing those programs expand. | 00:54:34 | |
| Dramatically as. | 00:54:38 | |
| The industry also expands here in the state. | 00:54:40 | |
| Continuing advancement and participation in emerging industry initiatives. | 00:54:43 | |
| Chris has already talked about Project Alta, so I'm not going to beat that dead horse right now. | 00:54:47 | |
| So cyber, cyber security investments and defense tech initiatives that align with vineyards growth plans. | 00:54:51 | |
| We want to ensure that. | 00:54:57 | |
| As these partners and these. | 00:55:00 | |
| Businesses look to expand that. We do so in a smart way. We're working with our local leaders so that they're expanding in a | 00:55:02 | |
| Safeway as well. | 00:55:06 | |
| You know, we're not in the game of pushing something faster than it needs to go. Of course, at the end of this. | 00:55:10 | |
| We want to make sure that. | 00:55:18 | |
| There is the opportunity for leverage in the federal and state funding, which would be your grants. There's we. | 00:55:20 | |
| Work with our partners to help identify funding mechanisms for infrastructure improvements, not just for the city, but for. | 00:55:26 | |
| Our business as well and you'll see research and development. | 00:55:32 | |
| And workforce training and that also. | 00:55:35 | |
| Again, goes back to local businesses who are looking to expand on their operations. There are a lot of federal and state grants. | 00:55:37 | |
| And of course some private grants as well that allow for those mechanisms to be put in place so these businesses so. | 00:55:45 | |
| Less this is a pretty much we wanted to thank you. | 00:55:53 | |
| Specifically, the council, the residents of. | 00:55:59 | |
| A vineyard and of course, the mayor for your partnership. | 00:56:01 | |
| We look forward to what that partnership will bring to the table in the next few years. | 00:56:04 | |
| And we're hopeful that we can continue to expand on the role of what aerospace and defense. | 00:56:09 | |
| Plays here as in your local ecosystem as well as the broader Utah aerospace and defense ecosystem. So thank you so much. | 00:56:15 | |
| Any questions? | 00:56:23 | |
| Sorry I went through that really quick. I apologize. | 00:56:24 | |
| And, and I'm and we're more than happy not to take away from the the meeting, but we can step on the hall. If anybody from the | 00:56:28 | |
| audience or one of the residents want to ask some questions, we can take that in the hall if that's appropriate. OK, actually that | 00:56:34 | |
| would be, that would be helpful. So what we'll do to stay in our normal guidelines is stay here for just a second. | 00:56:41 | |
| What we'll do is we'll have questions that the residents want to continue in the hall. We'll have public comments. | 00:56:48 | |
| For the residents that want to ask the council questions in the public comment section in just a minute. | 00:56:55 | |
| But for the Council, one of the things that you mentioned was cybersecurity interest for us to be aware of it as Council members. | 00:57:01 | |
| As we're working on innovation and working with our university partnerships and you guys are working with cybersecurity, which is | 00:57:08 | |
| one of the labor forces that we have at UVU with their really incredible program. | 00:57:14 | |
| That really coincides with this big privacy launch that we've been doing in our community as AI takes more space. | 00:57:20 | |
| As we're looking and seeing the commercial build out happen along the state, what does that mean for us and. | 00:57:28 | |
| And so as we're in this partnership, seeing how those different as we're learning about this ecosystem and working with the 200 | 00:57:34 | |
| companies that you guys mentioned that you're working with, being able to get those questions answered, talk about privacy and | 00:57:41 | |
| talk about what that looks like, not only for bringing jobs, but making sure it's growing in a way. | 00:57:47 | |
| That we want to see it in the community. | 00:57:54 | |
| Does the Council have any questions for our good team here? | 00:57:56 | |
| Right now it was a lot of information so. | 00:58:01 | |
| We can also continue to just. | 00:58:04 | |
| Set of meetings. | 00:58:06 | |
| Thank you for offering the availability to jump on calls and we'll continue on that. And and Mayor, to clarify that last point | 00:58:08 | |
| about the cybersecurity, we often hear about aerospace and defense being your brick and mortar locations. You know, what are you | 00:58:13 | |
| building, what are you manufacturing here within the city limits? But you also have to understand that aerospace and defense | 00:58:19 | |
| expands well beyond these brick and mortar manufacturing, these warehouses, these these shops. | 00:58:24 | |
| You're looking at individuals who are doing work from inside their own home, and cybersecurity is a perfect example of what you | 00:58:30 | |
| can do on a computer and what you're operating. | 00:58:34 | |
| My neighbor for example works in cyber security's, been doing it for 20 plus years. | 00:58:38 | |
| And he hasn't gotten to the office for at least 5. | 00:58:42 | |
| But. | 00:58:45 | |
| There are there are individuals in this community who are. | 00:58:47 | |
| Fully engaged in the aerospace and defense. So yes, it does affect the citizens of Vineyard in one way or another. | 00:58:51 | |
| And as again we highlight 20%, nearly 20% of our. | 00:58:58 | |
| GDP here in Utah is. | 00:59:03 | |
| Aerospace and defense in indirect and direct way, so. | 00:59:05 | |
| Want to clarify. Thank you. | 00:59:09 | |
| Any other questions from the Council? | 00:59:10 | |
| OK. If not, then thank you so much for coming and making the time. | 00:59:13 | |
| I'm going to let the residents that have additional questions for you meet you guys in the hallway if you're up for that. | 00:59:17 | |
| Otherwise, thank you for making the time. | 00:59:21 | |
| Are they gonna ask you questions about this? They may. | 00:59:24 | |
| And so my guess is they'll ask you questions of the hall and then in two. | 00:59:28 | |
| In 2 minutes or two presentations, they'll come in, they'll ask us questions. So. | 00:59:32 | |
| Thank you all, We appreciate it. | 00:59:38 | |
| OK. We will go ahead and move to. | 00:59:41 | |
| Our next item, which is the Vineyard City Pavement Preservation Program update and Chris Thomas with Streets and Storm Water is | 00:59:44 | |
| going to do the introduction. | 00:59:49 | |
| For this item. | 00:59:55 | |
| If you guys think it will take just a minute to set up, I might have us do the next presentation. | 01:00:26 | |
| Because it's short. | 01:00:34 | |
| Is that OK? | 01:00:37 | |
| Oh, OK, OK, OK. | 01:00:39 | |
| I just wanted to give you the time that you needed in case that was the case. | 01:00:42 | |
| As the mayor said, I'm Chris Thomas St. the stormwater manager for Renewed City. | 01:00:50 | |
| And I'm happy to be here tonight for. | 01:00:55 | |
| Probably the main reason why everyone came. | 01:00:57 | |
| Our pavement preservation plan the most riveting. | 01:00:59 | |
| Business item or presentation? | 01:01:03 | |
| Let me nerd out for a minute. | 01:01:06 | |
| So. | 01:01:09 | |
| Maybe. | 01:01:14 | |
| Yeah, so. | 01:01:22 | |
| Sorry about that. | 01:01:27 | |
| So write off a little article. | 01:01:34 | |
| Umm Public Works director needs 1 billion to get. | 01:01:39 | |
| Village roads up to standard. | 01:01:42 | |
| I see this and I. | 01:01:45 | |
| Automatically see what they haven't ever done any maintenance to their roads and. | 01:01:46 | |
| It just got to a point where. | 01:01:51 | |
| It got crazy and when you don't do maintenance. | 01:01:53 | |
| This is this is what can happen. | 01:01:56 | |
| In 2023 we we had a. | 01:02:00 | |
| Pavement condition study done. | 01:02:03 | |
| That assesses our roads and categorizes into good. | 01:02:05 | |
| Poor and failed. | 01:02:10 | |
| And excellent below that you can see the little metrics there of our city. | 01:02:12 | |
| They have 606 streets 46. | 01:02:18 | |
| And a half miles roughly of Rd. | 01:02:21 | |
| Which equates to 25.1 million square feet, which that number kind of jumped out at me. | 01:02:24 | |
| And it's being a small town, but still. | 01:02:29 | |
| What the limited staff we have we. | 01:02:32 | |
| Have quite a bit of. | 01:02:34 | |
| Of Ron to take care of. | 01:02:36 | |
| And then you can see below how it's separated into Residential and collector. | 01:02:37 | |
| The assessment basically came out and said that our most of our roads are average roads are 84%. | 01:02:44 | |
| The pays around the PCI rating. They're the same, they just move the decimal point. | 01:02:52 | |
| Our lowest rows are 44. That's actually the road. | 01:02:57 | |
| Just east of the Public Works building. | 01:03:00 | |
| Headed towards the dump. | 01:03:03 | |
| That's. | 01:03:05 | |
| The Vineyard Connector corridor. | 01:03:06 | |
| And we don't know timing on that road, so we got to do some work there. | 01:03:09 | |
| To figure out what we want to do with that for sure. | 01:03:14 | |
| Umm, so the key high traffic corridors, Main Street 6 N. | 01:03:18 | |
| For South, some girls that we're going to do. | 01:03:23 | |
| Some of those may not. | 01:03:26 | |
| Be as low rated as some of the other roads that we have in the city. | 01:03:27 | |
| But that's because we've. | 01:03:31 | |
| Prioritize some of our main roads because we don't want them to get to that that point. | 01:03:34 | |
| And so it's money. Sometimes it's more well spent. | 01:03:39 | |
| On keeping some of our roads nicer than maintaining some lesser roads that are less used. | 01:03:44 | |
| So, umm. | 01:03:49 | |
| In 2024, Holbrook Asphalt was ordered a five year payment preservation contract by the city. | 01:03:53 | |
| Better treatments include HA5 and bonded matrix. They've they've done most of the road treatments in Vineyard to this point. | 01:04:00 | |
| They they've got a great product and we've seen really good results from it, so we're happy to have them on board still. | 01:04:09 | |
| We we do perform annual inspections and then we get with the contractor. | 01:04:18 | |
| To make sure that we we have the most. | 01:04:24 | |
| Cost effective and the right, the right preservation for what Rd. we're treating so. | 01:04:26 | |
| And then to the right you can see our map. | 01:04:33 | |
| Which highlights what we're going to do in the 2025 year, the red being. | 01:04:37 | |
| Bonded matrix. It's a more robust surface for that type of traffic. | 01:04:43 | |
| And 85 is more for subdivision. | 01:04:48 | |
| Rods. | 01:04:53 | |
| So we have a budget of 354,000 approved for the 2425 budget. | 01:05:01 | |
| We've developed a 2526 plan. | 01:05:06 | |
| With Holbrook and to prioritize all of our. | 01:05:10 | |
| Roads. | 01:05:14 | |
| That we want to want to get treated. | 01:05:15 | |
| Our crews have been out. You may have noticed them. They were out today. They've been out for for a week or so. | 01:05:18 | |
| And then last year we we even started some of the. | 01:05:24 | |
| Some of the crack sealing for some of these roads in preparation it's. | 01:05:27 | |
| It's good to get them crack sealed up before we put the treatment on. | 01:05:31 | |
| It adds another layer of impermeability to the route because water is our biggest enemy, so we want to keep that out. | 01:05:34 | |
| Umm, this is kind of a little. | 01:05:43 | |
| Pavement Preservation. | 01:05:46 | |
| Road Map. | 01:05:48 | |
| You can see like the. | 01:05:49 | |
| Initial construction to preservation. | 01:05:51 | |
| Maintenance. | 01:05:54 | |
| And then eventually you get to a point where you need to do rehab and then the cycle kind of starts over again. | 01:05:55 | |
| And then back to rehab again. And then at some point you have to reconstruct the road, but we hope that's a long time down the | 01:06:00 | |
| road. | 01:06:04 | |
| Umm, we basically took an inventory of our roads the way this started out, and then we assessed the condition of all our roads. | 01:06:08 | |
| And then? | 01:06:17 | |
| We establish baselines, basically what what people wanted to see. | 01:06:19 | |
| You know how nice of a road we wanted to have. | 01:06:24 | |
| Then we developed and implemented costs and strategies to achieve those results. | 01:06:30 | |
| And then now we just need to work on. | 01:06:35 | |
| The long term. | 01:06:38 | |
| Capital projects like the Transportation Master plan. | 01:06:39 | |
| And then establish. | 01:06:43 | |
| Preservation plan from that five to 10 years out. | 01:06:45 | |
| And then obviously established funding for all of that too, so. | 01:06:49 | |
| Umm, this kind of segues into Holbrook Asphalt. They're gonna come up and do a little presentation. | 01:06:56 | |
| Umm, I'll introduce Aaron in a second. Does anybody have any questions? | 01:07:04 | |
| For me at this point. | 01:07:09 | |
| You guys used to have this really cool graph that we bring in and make. Is it is it still in here? | 01:07:11 | |
| Oh OK, I'm excited for that graph. Good visual. You know the graph I'm talking about. | 01:07:17 | |
| This is great. | 01:07:25 | |
| OK, OK. Well Aaron Eppley, he is the. | 01:07:28 | |
| Asset consultant for Holbrook Asphalt, our contractor that we are contracted with, now, he's going to come up and give a little | 01:07:32 | |
| presentation. | 01:07:35 | |
| Thank you so much for that introduction, super helpful. | 01:07:39 | |
| Nice to see you again. I was here, what, three years ago? 3 or 4 years ago? | 01:07:45 | |
| And. | 01:07:48 | |
| I'm happy. | 01:07:50 | |
| That I was able to get a contract in place with you guys. Again, I use you guys as a. | 01:07:52 | |
| A marketing tool for us. | 01:07:57 | |
| You have some young infrastructure, you're in a place to where your city is capable of really making a difference in the long term | 01:07:59 | |
| preservation of your asphalt. | 01:08:03 | |
| I've brought. | 01:08:08 | |
| Dozens of other municipal engineers here and showed them what we've been able to do. I I started working. | 01:08:09 | |
| 2013 I think was my first project with Dawn and. | 01:08:16 | |
| I was a little worried that we weren't going to make the contract this time, but we we got it. So it was good and I, I really feel | 01:08:21 | |
| like we partnered up really good and found some really good. | 01:08:26 | |
| Approaches to pavement. | 01:08:33 | |
| I personally work with about 65 municipalities in three different states. You guys have a very unique situation. Most cities are | 01:08:34 | |
| not in your. | 01:08:38 | |
| Place where you're at. | 01:08:43 | |
| Your staff is heading in the right direction, they're doing things the right way from my perspective. | 01:08:44 | |
| So I'll get, I'll get moving on Holbrook asphalt. It's the company. | 01:08:49 | |
| I put this slide in here. So this presentation comes from an hour long breakout session that we do for APWA and Roads and Streets | 01:08:54 | |
| conferences. | 01:08:58 | |
| But I put this slide in there and I've just taken like 10 slides out of here to kind of condense everything down South. It'll be | 01:09:02 | |
| really quick. | 01:09:05 | |
| But the National Center for Pavement Preservation in the bottom right corner. | 01:09:08 | |
| Lot of data and information comes from them as well as their the national centers in Lansing, MI at Michigan State. | 01:09:12 | |
| And the IPA Academy is in Alabama, Auburn University, so that's where a lot of the data comes from. | 01:09:19 | |
| And I'll show you. | 01:09:25 | |
| In the National Center, days kind of break the country up into four regions. | 01:09:26 | |
| Umm. When you look at pavement, when it ages, it starts out nice and pretty and black. | 01:09:30 | |
| And it starts to oxidize, it ravels out, you lose some of those fines, and then it gets to the point to where it's cracking, and | 01:09:36 | |
| then you start to get moisture infiltration into your pavement. | 01:09:41 | |
| And moisture is the enemy of all pavement as well as the oxidating. | 01:09:46 | |
| Ages. Now there's a couple things that accelerate the oxidative aging. | 01:09:50 | |
| That's the UV rays and the moisture. Here in Utah, northern Utah, you get the double whammy. You get a lot of moisture on the | 01:09:54 | |
| roads all winter and you get the higher elevations and you get the sun and that's really what ages your pavement. | 01:09:59 | |
| So if we can limit the effect that those two things have on your pavement, you can really extend the life of your pavement, you | 01:10:05 | |
| can lower your ownership cost over the life of the pavement and you can hopefully push that extensive reconstruction outside the | 01:10:10 | |
| 30, maybe 40 year window. | 01:10:15 | |
| That helps you. | 01:10:20 | |
| You know, most valuable. | 01:10:22 | |
| Expenditure of. | 01:10:25 | |
| Monies you know is no longer that road lasts. | 01:10:27 | |
| So you have the effective preservation that's mostly done in the early part of the pavement's life. You look at this graph. On the | 01:10:30 | |
| vertical, it's the pavement condition. On the horizontal, you can have time and even traffic. | 01:10:35 | |
| The most effective expenditure of your monies is done early on in the pavements life. That's because the payment has those oils | 01:10:41 | |
| and resins in there no longer you can keep those in the pavement. | 01:10:46 | |
| The longer that pavement is going to last, the better quality that's going to have and the lower. | 01:10:51 | |
| Cost Ownership cost over the life of that payment. There are things that you can do later on in a payment's life, but they're | 01:10:56 | |
| typically. | 01:11:00 | |
| More expensive, less effective because of the underlying issues. | 01:11:04 | |
| Get some other information The oxidative aging of pavement begins at the time of construction and continues throughout the | 01:11:09 | |
| pavement's life. However, the majority. | 01:11:12 | |
| Of the oxidative aging occurs within the first two to four years of a payments life. | 01:11:16 | |
| So if you can get involved. | 01:11:20 | |
| Obviously you can still do things that are beneficial later on, but the most effective way is to get on that payment as soon as | 01:11:22 | |
| possible. | 01:11:25 | |
| Acto and Tripp, they put together some research and they said every dollar spent. | 01:11:30 | |
| Spent keeping a good real good can preclude spent 6 to 14 to rebuild one that has deteriorated. | 01:11:35 | |
| I think is so impactful to our community. It's how we're building, how we're getting ahead and what the cost savings is to the | 01:11:43 | |
| people of Vineyard. | 01:11:47 | |
| It's a long term thing. It's you guys are gonna own the roads forever. And you know, you can own a road for 20 years and | 01:11:52 | |
| reconstruct it or you can own a road for 40 years and reconstruct it. And it just, it saves you guys so much money if you do your | 01:11:58 | |
| preservation early and your staff has done a great quality of life too. The durability and then not having to read those so often, | 01:12:03 | |
| so early, it's, it's incredible. | 01:12:09 | |
| I got this from you. | 01:12:17 | |
| So I I use this and it's kind of. | 01:12:18 | |
| Taken a part of my presentation that I use because I break pavements into three categories. There's maintenance. | 01:12:20 | |
| There's rehabilitation and then there's reconstruction and every time you. | 01:12:27 | |
| Move from 1:00 to the next. Your dollars expended per foot go up exponentially. | 01:12:32 | |
| And so when you're looking at you in a preservation treatment, it's. | 01:12:37 | |
| More effective, last longer and cheaper. | 01:12:41 | |
| Rather than waiting for the reconstruction, you know, you can just see the dollars expenditure and I've got this slide. I love | 01:12:44 | |
| this slide because it's ugly, but it shows this was done for a city just north of Tucson for their City Council because they | 01:12:51 | |
| wanted to know, OK, we have a subdivision that's 250,000 square feet. They wanted to know. | 01:12:57 | |
| What is it going to cost us to own that pavement for the next 30 years? | 01:13:03 | |
| And so we went to the National Center of Pavement Preservation, pulled out the data, and looked at what you know can happen to | 01:13:07 | |
| pavements when you're effectively or not effectively doing preservation. | 01:13:12 | |
| So you can look at that first bar graph that's green. | 01:13:17 | |
| Your PCI is a 96 or 100. | 01:13:20 | |
| When you get involved there, you're expending $10,000 a year roughly. You're budgeting that. You're not spending it, but you're | 01:13:23 | |
| budgeting that. | 01:13:26 | |
| And you can see for every year you wait that PCI drops lower and lower. Now you're having to expend substantially more amount more | 01:13:30 | |
| monies every year for the life of that pavement. | 01:13:35 | |
| So it just says get involved often early and this is what happens to the pavement. I'll show you some of this just because it | 01:13:41 | |
| helps you understand a little bit. You get the UV light and the moisture penetrating the pavement and. | 01:13:46 | |
| Oxidizing those volatile oils, the pavement is actually a flexible. | 01:13:52 | |
| Pavement. You want to keep those oils in the pavement, which helps maintain its flexibility and its adhesion to the aggregate | 01:13:56 | |
| holds the rock in place. | 01:14:00 | |
| AK51 of the treatments that you use is exceptionally good and that's impermeable to moisture. NUV light. | 01:14:04 | |
| Up to eight years. | 01:14:11 | |
| It's been exceptionally It started in two cities in Utah in 2009. | 01:14:13 | |
| We're in over, I think 350 agencies in 27 states now that are using that as one of their tools in the toolbox. It's not for every | 01:14:18 | |
| Rd. but it is really effective where it works. | 01:14:23 | |
| So this this research was done by a guy named Shakira Shinatwa. I think that's right. I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right. He | 01:14:29 | |
| was a Caltrans engineer for a lot of years. Then he went out on his own. He started doing research and studies on pavement. | 01:14:36 | |
| And a preservation strategies. | 01:14:43 | |
| And when he looked at high density mineral bond, or H5, he was saying that it effectively reduces the hardening of the pavement by | 01:14:45 | |
| 67. | 01:14:49 | |
| What does that mean? | 01:14:54 | |
| It means. | 01:14:55 | |
| If you had the red line is an untreated pavement and that's the aging, the hardening of the pavement. So A5 year pavement | 01:14:56 | |
| untreated as his hard A5 year pavement would be. But if you use a high density mineral bond. | 01:15:02 | |
| It acts as if it's a three-year payment and so on and so forth. The 10 year old payment would act as a six year payment. | 01:15:08 | |
| And that's how you're going to extend the life of your pavements. | 01:15:14 | |
| So Scott Gordon, I've done some breakout sessions with him at Apwa and Rosen streets. | 01:15:18 | |
| He's the guy that does the data collection and he's got the fancy laser band that tells you how rough your Rd. is, how many cracks | 01:15:24 | |
| you have and. | 01:15:28 | |
| Tell you reflectivity of your sign so he's. | 01:15:33 | |
| Is always the superstar. And then I got to talk about, you know, putting. | 01:15:35 | |
| Preservation treatment on the pavement so he always gets asked. | 01:15:39 | |
| What do I do? What's it going to cost? And so he put together a thing, a cost over the do nothing approach, a percent savings and | 01:15:45 | |
| he amortized it out to 45 years. | 01:15:50 | |
| So if you look at the red line, that's a. | 01:15:55 | |
| That's a do nothing approach. You're roughly getting 30 years in the last 10 years of that. Pavement's life is going to be really | 01:15:57 | |
| rough. | 01:16:00 | |
| And then the blue line is say you chose a mill and overlay as your strategy. | 01:16:03 | |
| So you do a mill and overlay at your 15, you do a mill and overlay at your 27, and then you're 41. You're going to do a. | 01:16:07 | |
| Total reconstruction. | 01:16:15 | |
| And then that gets you to the 45 years the yellow is an HA5. | 01:16:17 | |
| Strategy. | 01:16:22 | |
| So you're doing a HA5 at year 2, Year 8? | 01:16:23 | |
| You're 17, you're 26, and then at year 41 or you're 40, you're doing a mill and overlay and then another 85. So it's just your | 01:16:27 | |
| strategy. It's not the only thing that you're going to do, but it's your strategy. | 01:16:33 | |
| So the reason I show you that? | 01:16:39 | |
| Is he has put together a huge database? | 01:16:41 | |
| And he ranked all the different treatments because he always gets asked by City Council what is the most effective treatment. And | 01:16:46 | |
| it kind of just depends on where you're what you're doing. But what he did is. | 01:16:50 | |
| Here's the do nothing approach. | 01:16:55 | |
| And if you take partial reconstruction as your strategy. | 01:16:57 | |
| You're going to get a 36% cost of ownership savings over the do nothing approach. Instead of 5.6 million per mile, you're going to | 01:17:00 | |
| pay 3.6 and so on and so forth. He went through each strategy. | 01:17:06 | |
| And you see down at the bottom. | 01:17:11 | |
| 90. | 01:17:13 | |
| You go from 5 million, 5.6 million to a 1.1 million and your cost of ownership savings is 80% and high density mineral bar. | 01:17:16 | |
| Same thing. You're 950-4000. | 01:17:24 | |
| Per mile, 83% cost. Those are the two strategies that you guys have chosen. | 01:17:27 | |
| Umm, the one strategy you get bonded matrix is a combination of the two. It's a chip seal with an HA5 cap, so you're getting the | 01:17:32 | |
| benefit of both of those. The AK 5 is done in the residential areas. | 01:17:38 | |
| Where you're only you're not concerned about wearing the road out, you're concerned about the environmental impact on it. | 01:17:44 | |
| So your staff has done an excellent job. | 01:17:50 | |
| In my opinion. | 01:17:53 | |
| Well, because I got a contract with you guys, but it is effective and I do bring people here all the time and use you guys as a | 01:17:54 | |
| marketing tool for me because of what you're able to do now. We think they're doing a great job too. | 01:18:00 | |
| And I mean. | 01:18:06 | |
| From years of watching how it's affected us and the cost savings, and I'm really grateful that you use that graph because it's | 01:18:07 | |
| from the Department of Transportation. I got it from you. You did? Yeah. That offers it to. | 01:18:14 | |
| How we find things in the state and how we can make it most reliable for our communities. And the first time that we came together | 01:18:21 | |
| and. | 01:18:24 | |
| I save you this graph. It was. | 01:18:28 | |
| So many cities at that time were trying to figure out. | 01:18:31 | |
| How to pay? | 01:18:34 | |
| For their streets that have not gone through this process of making these savings and just we got to see the significant cost and | 01:18:35 | |
| so to be able to visualize. | 01:18:40 | |
| Not only the cost savings. | 01:18:45 | |
| The preservation of time, how we're treating it and why we're treating it, it's amazing. I work with about 55 to 65 cities and | 01:18:47 | |
| the. | 01:18:51 | |
| Artist thing I have. | 01:18:56 | |
| To get them to understand is they got to change from the worst first, That's the. | 01:18:57 | |
| The most costly way to manage your payment. | 01:19:03 | |
| To a best first. | 01:19:05 | |
| If you can take care of your good pavements, don't let them fall into the reconstruction. | 01:19:06 | |
| You know, then you're going to be saving yourself a ton of money and you're not eating up your whole budget. You're able to do a | 01:19:12 | |
| larger portion of your plant and that's where you guys are. | 01:19:15 | |
| You're way ahead of the game as far as other municipalities go on your preservation treatments that you've chosen. | 01:19:20 | |
| And the approach that your staff has chosen to do, and I'm happy to be a part of it, like when I started working with Dawn out | 01:19:25 | |
| here. | 01:19:28 | |
| I was just kind of learning too, and I didn't realize what I had. And then I, you know, you guys grew so fast. It's been really | 01:19:31 | |
| beneficial for me. | 01:19:35 | |
| And able to show some of your surrounding communities what an effective treatment, what an effective. | 01:19:39 | |
| Approach to payment preservation can be. | 01:19:45 | |
| That's great. | 01:19:47 | |
| Council, do you have any questions about this? | 01:19:49 | |
| After you've been here for so long, you just become a weird like political romp on this. I'm like when you guys seen the last | 01:19:51 | |
| time, I'm like, I need to see it and what it looks like and then you can come to our shop so. | 01:19:58 | |
| One more time, just that beautiful picture. | 01:20:07 | |
| Of the difference right there, that's the one that makes all the difference. It really does. It does help you understand that you | 01:20:11 | |
| spend your money on the front end. It's a lot more. You can cover a lot more and a lot more effective than trying to do it on the | 01:20:17 | |
| back end. Yeah. And all of the graphs and the breakdown that you showed, and really just the watching the sun and the water go in | 01:20:23 | |
| and watching the difference of how it ages, I think is really important. It's weird how much of our time here is about building | 01:20:28 | |
| pavement and St. you know? | 01:20:34 | |
| Expensive assets, yeah. | 01:20:40 | |
| And every city's that way, yeah. | 01:20:42 | |
| There's only been one city that I've ever been that with it itself funded it appropriate level. | 01:20:45 | |
| On their pavement preservation. | 01:20:50 | |
| Vernal in this because they just they're looking for they got all that mineral rights and the mineral money's down there in the | 01:20:52 | |
| oil and they're just looking for streets to pay. Every other city is behind the 8 ball because it is so expensive. So it's | 01:20:58 | |
| imperative that you get on it earlier and take care of it. You guys are doing a great job I really. | 01:21:03 | |
| And I'm glad that I've been able to have a chance to work with you guys for I think it's been 13 years now. | 01:21:09 | |
| Thank you. Thank you. | 01:21:14 | |
| Hey, anything else you guys want to add? No, All right. | 01:21:16 | |
| We appreciate you and we appreciate. | 01:21:19 | |
| The very clear explanation of what's happening and we'll go ahead and move on to our next item. | 01:21:23 | |
| Which is the discussion of code of conduct ordinance. And I'm just going to turn the time over to Brett. | 01:21:29 | |
| I'm as Jake is absent so you can lead for your team. | 01:21:35 | |
| Yeah. So we we had it on here as a. | 01:21:39 | |
| Discussion item for the for the Council in. | 01:21:42 | |
| I think I'm just gonna talk about it a little bit and we're gonna move that to. | 01:21:46 | |
| The next meeting. | 01:21:50 | |
| We got our draft out a little late for everybody to have a chance to. | 01:21:53 | |
| Review it but have really been through. Made a ton of changes. | 01:21:58 | |
| Um, and we have a. | 01:22:03 | |
| Subcommittee work sessions scheduled for Tuesday night with a few of the citizens that. | 01:22:07 | |
| Were interested in participating in that they already have. | 01:22:12 | |
| A copy of the of the draft so that they can so that they can review it. | 01:22:17 | |
| And then, as in tomorrow also already started to get some. | 01:22:21 | |
| Additional feedback from Council. | 01:22:25 | |
| And so there, there's a lot of input going into this. | 01:22:30 | |
| And one of the things that I wanted to say is that the way that it looks like we're starting to structure it. | 01:22:35 | |
| Is that there's a section on. | 01:22:44 | |
| Ethics, which is all legal. | 01:22:46 | |
| And that is very heavily governed by. | 01:22:48 | |
| The state. So we're going to lean into what the state does. | 01:22:52 | |
| And then we'll have some other sections that are more internal to the operations of. | 01:22:56 | |
| Council commissions and boards. | 01:23:03 | |
| And those will behave a little bit differently, but part of the care that we're really trying to take. | 01:23:05 | |
| Is to make sure that. | 01:23:12 | |
| None of what we put in here can be weaponized against anybody. | 01:23:15 | |
| That it is all about. | 01:23:19 | |
| Making sure that we are efficient and that we know how to behave. | 01:23:22 | |
| And that if. | 01:23:27 | |
| Anybody. | 01:23:29 | |
| Chooses to misbehave. | 01:23:30 | |
| That there are very clear ways to find that we. | 01:23:33 | |
| Can deal with that. | 01:23:39 | |
| And it doesn't have to go to. We're also building a lot of flexibility. | 01:23:40 | |
| So that. | 01:23:45 | |
| It doesn't have to be. | 01:23:47 | |
| Censure immediately. | 01:23:49 | |
| Right there, there are lots of. | 01:23:51 | |
| Steps that we'll be able to go through and there will be a lot of discretion. | 01:23:53 | |
| That uh, uh. | 01:23:58 | |
| Chairs and board members and council will have in order to effectively manage. | 01:24:00 | |
| Our our own behavior. | 01:24:07 | |
| So so from from that perspective. | 01:24:10 | |
| I don't know if anybody else has already had a chance to look at it and has any. | 01:24:13 | |
| Comment that they would like to share. | 01:24:18 | |
| But, but generally we have we still have a lot more work to do. | 01:24:20 | |
| In the expectation is that coming into our. | 01:24:24 | |
| Next meeting will be at a place where we can have some. | 01:24:27 | |
| Better discussion and be ready for a vote on. | 01:24:31 | |
| Thank you so much for the work that you guys have put in on it. I was able to read through it and I liked the direction. I'm glad | 01:24:35 | |
| you're going to have that Tuesday meeting. | 01:24:40 | |
| I think any way that we can build a document that works for creating the longest durability in our community and that presents an | 01:24:44 | |
| opportunity for us to have better training and improving any way that we can with transparency and ethics is critical. Also just | 01:24:51 | |
| on that note, before we move on, you guys might have questions, but I think we also what we'll do is we'll put there's going to be | 01:24:57 | |
| a. | 01:25:03 | |
| Financial risk. | 01:25:11 | |
| Assessment that we also have to complete the training for next time that one's actually implemented and done. | 01:25:13 | |
| Already And that we've had to adopt and it's for insurance purposes. So we'll just probably send out the link and have you take | 01:25:20 | |
| that. | 01:25:24 | |
| Before the next meeting so that you can get your paperwork in. | 01:25:28 | |
| For notification. | 01:25:32 | |
| But do you have any comments for Brett otherwise? | 01:25:34 | |
| Thank you I I do have one letter for the for the people in the room if. | 01:25:38 | |
| You are interested in providing any specific feedback. | 01:25:42 | |
| My contact information is on the city's website. You can send me an e-mail. | 01:25:48 | |
| And I'm happy to work with anybody who's interested. | 01:25:52 | |
| Any other comments? That's great. Thank you, Brett. OK. | 01:25:57 | |
| Great. I'm going to open up public comment. Can you raise your hand if you want to speak? | 01:26:00 | |
| OK, so we have 12344 comments come up. We'll have two minutes. Tony will set a timer. We're excited to hear from you. | 01:26:05 | |
| Hi, I'm David Luray resident. | 01:26:23 | |
| I want to thank the Council with a chance to. | 01:26:25 | |
| Address you about an issue. | 01:26:28 | |
| We used to learn about the. | 01:26:30 | |
| Treating the streets to preserve the serve them and last longer. | 01:26:32 | |
| I've seen this presentation several times in the years and. | 01:26:36 | |
| That's a great idea, but I'm wondering though. | 01:26:39 | |
| What are we doing to take care of the issues where we have some warranty problems essentially with it? There's some places where | 01:26:42 | |
| the treatment has a stick. | 01:26:46 | |
| Or where it's failed to do its job properly. | 01:26:50 | |
| There's a place over Sleepy Ridge where it's come off. There's also 170 S. | 01:26:53 | |
| All several of the trails that we have where they were treated. | 01:26:58 | |
| Haven't really done very well. | 01:27:01 | |
| Wondering what can we you know what can be done to make sure that we. | 01:27:02 | |
| One have a warranty that it guarantees that. | 01:27:06 | |
| And two, that we exercise our option to get those things fixed. | 01:27:08 | |
| Thanks. | 01:27:12 | |
| Daria Evans Resident I also have a similar question about the pavement thing. I think that's a good idea also to prove it and. | 01:27:23 | |
| To repair. | 01:27:31 | |
| But I have a question about the roundabouts. | 01:27:33 | |
| I think they need reconstruction. They are just falling apart. | 01:27:35 | |
| And it's going to cost a lot more. | 01:27:39 | |
| I don't know why they weren't just paved to begin with. So that's my comment. | 01:27:42 | |
| In question. Thank you. | 01:27:46 | |
| Karen Cornelius. | 01:28:06 | |
| I recently read an article penned by our mayor and in it it said that the best governments are the government's closest to the | 01:28:09 | |
| people. | 01:28:12 | |
| And I would agree with that. | 01:28:16 | |
| So my question is. | 01:28:18 | |
| Why when I ask the question and it was either August or September? | 01:28:20 | |
| Regarding the 47 G and the aerospace. | 01:28:25 | |
| And the drowns here in Vineyard. | 01:28:29 | |
| The mayor looked at me with a smile on her face and said no, we are not planning that. | 01:28:32 | |
| And yet these good people in the hall told us that the mayor has been at those meetings for over a year. | 01:28:37 | |
| So did you sign an NDA mayor, that your assistants don't know what you're doing? | 01:28:43 | |
| That's really concerning. | 01:28:49 | |
| When you say. | 01:28:51 | |
| That the best government is the government closest to people. | 01:28:53 | |
| One more area I'd like to address tonight is the fact that. | 01:28:56 | |
| This council, along with. | 01:29:01 | |
| Very professional experts came up with a very creative way. | 01:29:04 | |
| To deal with our fire department issue, a life saving need for Vineyard. | 01:29:09 | |
| So for less than $2,000,000. | 01:29:14 | |
| We are going to have what Vineyard needs. | 01:29:17 | |
| And now you want us. | 01:29:20 | |
| To sell our souls for 30 to 35,000,000 for a building that is not needed. | 01:29:23 | |
| That you could get creative on. | 01:29:31 | |
| We do not owe the developers of Utah City anything. And if they cannot? | 01:29:34 | |
| Attract the economic development they need. | 01:29:39 | |
| Without our. | 01:29:42 | |
| Tax dollars. | 01:29:44 | |
| Being hijacked for who knows how long. | 01:29:45 | |
| Then we don't need it. We don't need it. We were clever and creative. | 01:29:49 | |
| And came up with a reason, with a way to save the city money and still have a fire department. | 01:29:54 | |
| Has still have been needs that we need the things that we need. | 01:30:00 | |
| That are of a life saving nature. | 01:30:04 | |
| Why do we have to spend that kind of money? | 01:30:07 | |
| On a building. | 01:30:10 | |
| That every time I turn around, the name is changing. You went from City Hall to. | 01:30:11 | |
| Vineyard Center. Canal. The Civic Center. | 01:30:16 | |
| I have a real problem and I'm not alone. Thank you. | 01:30:19 | |
| Jane Pierce from Cascade Neighborhood. | 01:30:40 | |
| I've seen several different renditions of. | 01:30:43 | |
| Utah City, and one of them had a library that was freestanding. | 01:30:47 | |
| And in the current. | 01:30:51 | |
| Umm, pictures that I've seen of Utah City. | 01:30:55 | |
| But there isn't any. | 01:30:58 | |
| But we have been given some. | 01:30:59 | |
| Um, some. | 01:31:03 | |
| Um, square footage. | 01:31:06 | |
| In the vineyards that are city center. | 01:31:09 | |
| But I fear that that's going to be inadequate for what our needs are. | 01:31:13 | |
| We currently have a population of. | 01:31:17 | |
| 21,000. | 01:31:20 | |
| And with Utah City, it's definitely going to increase dramatically, maybe even double. | 01:31:22 | |
| And with the square footage, now that's. | 01:31:28 | |
| Allocated for the library, it's only. | 01:31:34 | |
| 2500 square feet. | 01:31:37 | |
| But umm. For example, in Spanish Fork they have a population of. | 01:31:41 | |
| 42,000, which is what we anticipate will be in the future. | 01:31:48 | |
| But their square footage for their library is. | 01:31:52 | |
| 45,000. | 01:31:55 | |
| So we have a very, very small. | 01:31:57 | |
| Umm, a small percentage of that. | 01:32:01 | |
| Of less than 1/10 of that. | 01:32:03 | |
| So my question to you, is there some way that we can? | 01:32:05 | |
| Find more square footage for. | 01:32:10 | |
| Our library. | 01:32:13 | |
| Can I ask a clarifying question? Do you say that they have 45,000 square feet or 4500 they have for their library? It's 45,500. | 01:32:15 | |
| And 50 square feet. | 01:32:25 | |
| And their population is of 42,000. | 01:32:26 | |
| OK, so. | 01:32:32 | |
| Thank you. | 01:32:34 | |
| Thank you. | 01:32:35 | |
| Is there another? | 01:32:38 | |
| OK, I'm going to close public comments. | 01:32:42 | |
| Thank you for that. I am going to address a few things. | 01:32:45 | |
| David, you mentioned the treatments and the warranty and you mentioned a few locations where you've noticed some issues. | 01:32:48 | |
| There is probably a process that our engineer could. | 01:32:57 | |
| Discuss about what we expect to see. | 01:33:01 | |
| And then talk to you about your questions about warranties. So if you want to leave your names and just your questions, let's go | 01:33:04 | |
| ahead and we'll have that follow. Daria, you mentioned the pavement repair you mentioned. | 01:33:10 | |
| What? | 01:33:17 | |
| Roundabout falling apart? I also think that you should put your name down and talk to Nasim about this as well. I can give an | 01:33:18 | |
| example of my roundabout where the streets are slipping off and you can watch it with how they were built originally that may have | 01:33:25 | |
| needed to be redone in earlier areas. I think it's a different problem. Some of it has to do with weather, but I'm not the expert. | 01:33:32 | |
| So talking to Naseem about it so that we can make sure to address it and if you're seeing it. | 01:33:39 | |
| It would be really beneficial if you could report where you are seeing it so that we can address it if we're not noticing it, but | 01:33:47 | |
| we're trying to pay close attention to that. | 01:33:52 | |
| Let's see, Karen, you mentioned a question that you have for me and I believe the question actually for 47 G revolved around a | 01:33:58 | |
| grant from the federal government that the city had a contract for a donating land from the community. I can go back and read the | 01:34:04 | |
| minutes. | 01:34:10 | |
| OK, I will. I'll go back and read it and I'll address the question that. | 01:34:18 | |
| And the difference between it. | 01:34:22 | |
| And for the question that I'm addressing and stating when you asked me the questions as I understood it. | 01:34:24 | |
| It's that we were not involved in that. We don't own any land that we're donating. We don't have any contracts and there was no | 01:34:31 | |
| money coming. Now, how are we involved? I think that is important. It was so good to have them tonight. And where Vineyard has a | 01:34:37 | |
| voice at the table, it's with all advanced air, mobility and aerospace. | 01:34:44 | |
| With Provost Airport just expanding by $70 million and going to 18 gates. | 01:34:51 | |
| One of the things that we've cared about and Vineyard a long time is how do we want to see the airspace happen in Vineyard? How do | 01:34:56 | |
| we want to hear the noise? How do we want to see the Delta expand and that's where they fly over and there's radioing that's | 01:35:03 | |
| happening. What does that look like for us in Vineyard? We decided. | 01:35:09 | |
| At this table, we decided how important it was to be there. We also know that the state is moving ahead with a lot of this | 01:35:15 | |
| transportation, so we wanted to obtain those seats because we understand that corridors are being considered and looked at, and | 01:35:21 | |
| for Vineyard because we are a Greenfield site. | 01:35:27 | |
| And we're building, we want to make sure that growth happens the way that we shape it and that it doesn't happen to our community. | 01:35:33 | |
| And that's become very critical for us. So when it says, I've been at those meetings and I've been watching and I've been making | 01:35:39 | |
| sure to advocate and I've been bringing it back and I'm bringing you here, that's exactly what I'm talking. That's, that's what | 01:35:45 | |
| they were saying. They're saying you are here talking about how Vineyard wants to see it. For instance, we have a hospital | 01:35:51 | |
| corridor and we need. | 01:35:57 | |
| Helicopters. So there's other areas, there's other businesses that don't necessarily need helicopters. | 01:36:03 | |
| But for Vineyard, we do so our zoning is different. So what is that life saving facility look like? | 01:36:10 | |
| What does it look like when our partners are working with drones? And so at the forefront, we want to make sure the vineyards | 01:36:15 | |
| voice is heard. What are helipads going to look like? What is a heliport going to look like? What is the state legislation saying? | 01:36:22 | |
| What are our ordinances doing? And so that's where our voices at the table. And in that regard, that is why we're part of 47 G. | 01:36:29 | |
| That is one aspect of why we're part of 47 G. That's one of the aspects of why we sit on the committees with you, Doug. | 01:36:36 | |
| So that is where I'll answer that. You also mentioned we need to get creative and I like where you're going with this because we | 01:36:44 | |
| did get creative with our fire station. And one of the things that we did was we invested money. | 01:36:50 | |
| Into a study that allowed us to reduce the amount that we were paying to create a location for fire. | 01:36:57 | |
| And when we talk about necessity and need, our city is growing. We talked about just getting to Jane just mentioned how we are | 01:37:05 | |
| getting to this population where we need a fire station here. | 01:37:11 | |
| And we need this partnership here and that also means we need the staff to be able to take care of the roads for the people that | 01:37:17 | |
| are coming and still continuing to grow and. | 01:37:23 | |
| It's becoming a need and it's not just our fire, and we love our fire, but we know our fire needs it. | 01:37:29 | |
| Our our sheriff's need it. | 01:37:35 | |
| Our staff needs it. | 01:37:38 | |
| And so. | 01:37:40 | |
| That is part of the entire story and it's not one group. | 01:37:43 | |
| It's every group, and So what are we doing that's creative? | 01:37:47 | |
| And I like that you brought it up because I mentioned it last time that we get creative and we plan to be creative. | 01:37:51 | |
| And and I'll jump to that on James Point with the library because we also got creative there, which puts us in a different mindset | 01:37:57 | |
| for the library. But here we have this ability to do leasing and shared partnerships. And so you have buildings in other places | 01:38:04 | |
| like Santa Quinn or Provo or Orem and they have a City Hall. But what we're doing is right now we're split up in these little. | 01:38:12 | |
| Locations as we grow so quickly to say we're going to grow and we're going to do it as fiscally conservative as possible. And now | 01:38:19 | |
| OK, we're going to go and we're going to jump to the downtown where we're getting land donated to us. So it's not that they owe | 01:38:26 | |
| us. They're actually giving us something so that we can get creative, we can build a building and potentially. | 01:38:33 | |
| Umm, if at all. If we. | 01:38:41 | |
| Vote later down the line to do the bonding and move forward with the project. We're creating a situation. | 01:38:43 | |
| Where we are inserting ourselves into a building that has multiple partnerships to reduce the burden. | 01:38:48 | |
| On the taxpayer, that's how we're getting creative right now. | 01:38:55 | |
| And so when we talk about. | 01:38:58 | |
| Why? Why the name? And I'm going to bring it up and it's because the name. | 01:39:01 | |
| Was something that we were talking about with our needs, but when you have leasing partners and shared people who own the building | 01:39:06 | |
| with you, it's a joint facility because we got creative. So while we're talking about our needs, when we're really coming to the | 01:39:11 | |
| table and saying what? | 01:39:16 | |
| What does this building look like and what do we call it? The center was a discussion that came as we're phasing out the projects | 01:39:21 | |
| and the why why we bring it to the public is because as we. | 01:39:26 | |
| Move along in the process. We continue to give that new name or that process to the public so that you can digest it and see it | 01:39:32 | |
| and know the creativity that's happening here. So we'll go to the library. We're going to look at those numbers and we're going to | 01:39:38 | |
| consider them. But Eric mentioned something about the library, and it's conceptual right now, and I'll talk a little bit about the | 01:39:43 | |
| library. That's how it got started. | 01:39:48 | |
| Some cities invest heavily into building a library. | 01:39:54 | |
| And we are new and growing very fast. And So what we did was we created a volunteer library. | 01:39:59 | |
| When I was running the youth council, we went around and we grabbed. | 01:40:06 | |
| 10,000 or so books from all of the residents in the area and we got a donation because we were creative then from the front office | 01:40:08 | |
| of the other building as we were transitioning. | 01:40:13 | |
| And we have a very small building. | 01:40:17 | |
| And we got some donations and it was all done based on donation. | 01:40:19 | |
| And then we were able to grow enough. | 01:40:23 | |
| To get a line item to have somebody come in and. | 01:40:26 | |
| Expand it a little bit more and so our. | 01:40:30 | |
| Opportunity to become an actual library that qualified. We got the brick and mortar, we got the Wi-Fi, we got there's some | 01:40:34 | |
| qualifications at the state that once you qualify for that. | 01:40:39 | |
| Then you can get in grant money or whatever the funding is that comes from either the state or wherever it's coming from private | 01:40:45 | |
| donors at a different level, which other libraries are experiencing. When you invest a lot of money, you get more money in return | 01:40:52 | |
| because you qualify. And So what happened was they were able to get that money, but now that we're at this place, we'll we'll see | 01:40:59 | |
| those dollars coming a little bit more because we'll have a different match. But the reason I mention Eric's concept. | 01:41:07 | |
| Is because. | 01:41:14 | |
| We are going through the architect engineering and the LRB study. So we don't actually know if the library will remain in that | 01:41:16 | |
| building. It will it will expand in here with our police, if it will expand in the rec facility that is potentially planned for | 01:41:22 | |
| the future in Gammon Park or how those shape out. | 01:41:29 | |
| But I promise you that as we go through it, we will bring it back to you and we will keep in mind the numbers that you talked | 01:41:35 | |
| about. There are good people on it. | 01:41:39 | |
| And with that. | 01:41:43 | |
| I'm gonna go ahead and ask the Council if you have any important updates and then we'll close the meeting. | 01:41:45 | |
| Brent, I'm going to start with you. | 01:41:51 | |
| Perfect. I've I've got three things that I wanted to. | 01:41:53 | |
| Mention umm. | 01:41:55 | |
| One I was able to go to the Orem Fire Department Awards. | 01:41:56 | |
| Gala, which was amazing. | 01:42:01 | |
| And I just want to say thank you so much for allowing. | 01:42:04 | |
| Me to be there and. | 01:42:09 | |
| Hear the stories. | 01:42:11 | |
| That uh, uh. | 01:42:13 | |
| Of the amazing work that that you do. | 01:42:15 | |
| And the and the how grateful I am to the men and women of the fire department who service our community. | 01:42:18 | |
| And how much they care and are willing to. | 01:42:24 | |
| Sacrifice their own time. | 01:42:28 | |
| And, umm. | 01:42:31 | |
| Risk themselves. | 01:42:32 | |
| For our own safety. | 01:42:34 | |
| The the second item I had was well, and I'll just add to your item. It was an incredible event and extremely touching. And we have | 01:42:37 | |
| one of you here today. So thank you for being here with us. | 01:42:42 | |
| It really was some of those stories. It's it's one of those where I think about my love affair with cheese in my couch. | 01:42:48 | |
| And I'm so glad. | 01:42:54 | |
| That there are people who don't have that problem. | 01:42:58 | |
| That are willing to do that kind of work so that I don't have to. | 01:43:01 | |
| Umm, all right, my second item is how grateful I am to. | 01:43:05 | |
| Staff and the council for their patients with the work that we're doing on the scope of conduct. | 01:43:12 | |
| We had initially committed that we would be prepared. | 01:43:17 | |
| Having done. | 01:43:22 | |
| Some public comment period with a draft that we could. | 01:43:24 | |
| Discuss and vote on tonight and we missed that deadline, so I'm super grateful for the patients in letting us work through that. | 01:43:29 | |
| And lastly, I'm also grateful to. | 01:43:37 | |
| The mayor in. | 01:43:41 | |
| In the city manager for allowing me to be part of, I raised the concern. | 01:43:44 | |
| As we are entering the RDA meeting about. | 01:43:49 | |
| Being able to digest the financial analysis that. | 01:43:52 | |
| LRB was doing on our behalf. | 01:43:56 | |
| That that that can be very difficult for us to. | 01:43:59 | |
| Receive Digest. Understand. | 01:44:03 | |
| And then actually make a good decision on that. | 01:44:07 | |
| And in light of that, they allowed me to be part of a meeting. Yesterday. There was a working session with LRB. | 01:44:12 | |
| Where they were going through in a lot more detail, some of what we were looking at earlier this evening. | 01:44:21 | |
| And that allowed me one to digest it, but also to then consult with other council members and give them some things that they | 01:44:26 | |
| could look at and learn about. | 01:44:32 | |
| So that they could more better understand. | 01:44:37 | |
| The presentation. | 01:44:40 | |
| And what it actually means in terms of the potential financing for? | 01:44:42 | |
| The Vineyard Center. | 01:44:46 | |
| And I think that's all we got. | 01:44:48 | |
| Perfect. | 01:44:50 | |
| OK, I just have a few things to. | 01:44:53 | |
| The grocery store brown rice. | 01:44:56 | |
| Ground breaking was this morning. There's a news article that shows it's with the Daily Herald. You guys should look it up. It's | 01:44:58 | |
| really exciting. We're really. | 01:45:02 | |
| We've really all been looking forward to this grocery store, so we're excited to move forward. | 01:45:07 | |
| Just we've been continuing meeting with the new the. | 01:45:12 | |
| Interlocal school district discussing legislation and that's all still. | 01:45:16 | |
| I'll bring you results as soon as they come. | 01:45:21 | |
| And then the voting precinct lines for the. | 01:45:24 | |
| District school board members. | 01:45:29 | |
| Has also. They've broken it down to two maps that they'll be finalizing I think. | 01:45:31 | |
| Either this week or next very soon, so there's a little survey going around. If you can't find it, I know it's shared on our | 01:45:37 | |
| community page, but if you don't see it, you're welcome to reach out to me and I can get you the link. | 01:45:43 | |
| And then also. | 01:45:50 | |
| Just something fun was today I was able to attend the active transportation plan and wayfinding. | 01:45:52 | |
| Where they invited our external partners like developers you dot. | 01:45:58 | |
| I Utah Elizita. | 01:46:03 | |
| Uta, UVU. | 01:46:05 | |
| Anyway, it was great. For those of you that might not know, we are working on our active transportation plan. There's been some | 01:46:07 | |
| wonderful progress there. As they make more progress, they will present it to the planning. Oh, that. | 01:46:14 | |
| The ATC Active Transportation Commission. | 01:46:20 | |
| And then also the Planning Commission and then to the City Council. But throughout that process, they're also going to be doing | 01:46:23 | |
| town halls. | 01:46:27 | |
| And so this will give you a chance to participate in. | 01:46:31 | |
| Umm, picking out areas in the city that maybe need better crossings, better trails, better bikeways, pathways. | 01:46:35 | |
| Cross Jersey crossings and. | 01:46:43 | |
| Also, the wayfinding, for those of you that might not know wayfinding is we're trying to create signs to help people understand | 01:46:46 | |
| directions and distances. | 01:46:51 | |
| As they come to the city, if they're new or if they're just trying to plan out their day, so really exciting stuff, Keep an eye | 01:46:55 | |
| out for that town hall. | 01:46:59 | |
| Open house that we're going to be having where you can. | 01:47:03 | |
| Share your thoughts. | 01:47:07 | |
| Sarah um. | 01:47:10 | |
| So. | 01:47:14 | |
| Spending time up. | 01:47:16 | |
| That the LPC, the legislative. | 01:47:18 | |
| Review with the utility. | 01:47:21 | |
| Again, they were they were talking about the similar thing, the same things they were talking about the week before, but. | 01:47:23 | |
| It's really. | 01:47:28 | |
| Umm, it's really interesting and it's been really good for me to watch. | 01:47:31 | |
| Because you hear so many things. | 01:47:35 | |
| Online of corruption and things and and to go in and watch how many people. | 01:47:38 | |
| Are working really hard to do the right thing and how many checks and balances there are. | 01:47:43 | |
| In place. I've actually been really impressed to be honest. | 01:47:49 | |
| So I'm, I'm just going to share a little story with you. | 01:47:58 | |
| Years ago, I'd wake up and I'd listen to talk radio over and over and over again. | 01:48:02 | |
| Every day and I hear all of the horrible things happening in our country. | 01:48:06 | |
| And I'd be like, Oh my gosh, this is. | 01:48:10 | |
| But the worst How can people do this kind of thing right? | 01:48:12 | |
| And then I had kind of a. | 01:48:16 | |
| And many revelation, I guess, and. | 01:48:21 | |
| And it sounded like this. | 01:48:24 | |
| How many of these things that you listen to all day, every day that upset you actually affect? | 01:48:26 | |
| Your life today. | 01:48:32 | |
| And when I when I did a review, there really wasn't anything. | 01:48:34 | |
| And and listening to the upset. | 01:48:38 | |
| Over and over and over again. | 01:48:41 | |
| Stop my ability to enjoy my day with my kids. | 01:48:43 | |
| So I just want to share. | 01:48:47 | |
| That seeing the checks and balances and seeing how many people worked so hard. | 01:48:50 | |
| To do the right thing. | 01:48:55 | |
| Is more common than what you would realize. | 01:48:57 | |
| And. | 01:49:00 | |
| If I've learned nothing more. | 01:49:02 | |
| Than that from this being in this position. | 01:49:05 | |
| I'm grateful for that and. | 01:49:09 | |
| Yeah. I just wanted to share. | 01:49:12 | |
| Because I'm. | 01:49:15 | |
| We're doing pretty good. | 01:49:16 | |
| We're doing pretty good. We live in the most amazing country. | 01:49:18 | |
| And the freedoms that we have and the people fighting to protect those freedoms. | 01:49:21 | |
| Are ongoing all the time. | 01:49:25 | |
| And yeah, I want to share that. | 01:49:28 | |
| Thank you. | 01:49:30 | |
| Yeah, I just wanted to briefly introduce the City manager's report for the month of January. It's 5 pages long. | 01:49:33 | |
| It's posted on the agenda, so I would encourage everyone to look at it. | 01:49:41 | |
| Are two interesting points that are the 1st about two points on that list. | 01:49:44 | |
| Our staff were able to recruit $45,000 in sponsorship to this this year. | 01:49:51 | |
| Which is 5000 over the goal that we had set. So super exciting and great work on the part of Anna and others. | 01:49:57 | |
| I also wanted to mention that. | 01:50:04 | |
| We did a trial at the end of. | 01:50:06 | |
| Center St. to remove the dumpster. | 01:50:10 | |
| Add a few more. | 01:50:12 | |
| Large garbage cans to try to address the. | 01:50:14 | |
| The over. | 01:50:18 | |
| Collection of materials that we're ending up there mattresses and. | 01:50:20 | |
| We had. | 01:50:25 | |
| In a scene showing up late at night on a weekend just to clean it all up and haul it out. | 01:50:26 | |
| Elsewhere so that it wasn't such an eyesore and it was becoming a problem and so we have tried. | 01:50:31 | |
| Removing that and putting those garbage cans and so far it has been excellent. We're going to try it a little longer. | 01:50:37 | |
| And then we will probably have the Council. | 01:50:44 | |
| The council decided to put that dumpster down there. | 01:50:47 | |
| And so we will have you undecide that if it turns out to be the best option. So yeah. And just to update, why? | 01:50:50 | |
| The difference that Eric is stating is that there was a trash bin that was there and there was mass dumping. | 01:50:57 | |
| In the wetlands, yeah. | 01:51:06 | |
| And we were. | 01:51:08 | |
| The citizens came out and asked for a solution and one of the recommendations was to do a larger dumpster and what we found was a | 01:51:09 | |
| reduction. | 01:51:14 | |
| Of dumping in the wetlands, which was phenomenal and a. | 01:51:18 | |
| An upset of dumping in the street. | 01:51:23 | |
| Umm, so the new plant or the change was to put trash bins in various areas along the trail, right? And we have staff that is that | 01:51:26 | |
| is going down there every day. | 01:51:32 | |
| And removing that and throwing it in our city dumpsters. | 01:51:39 | |
| As needed, and so that it's just a, we increase the the. | 01:51:44 | |
| Oversight of that area. So we've grown, we've increased the oversight. That's always an additional cost. | 01:51:48 | |
| Often takes away from other things. So when summer jobs pick up and all of a sudden we have lots going on, we might see a | 01:51:55 | |
| difference to do a pilot a little bit longer for when the weather gets warmer and it changes the outcomes and we see where our | 01:52:00 | |
| service options. | 01:52:06 | |
| What they really look like and where that. | 01:52:12 | |
| This financial spot, I think that's why we're going to do that pilot program a little bit longer and then? | 01:52:14 | |
| Then you can have a review. | 01:52:20 | |
| For the public. | 01:52:22 | |
| With that, I'll end. I'll encourage everyone to read the the report. There's super exciting things happening. | 01:52:23 | |
| In the city. | 01:52:28 | |
| Just in this last month alone. | 01:52:29 | |
| Some really exciting things have taken place so. | 01:52:32 | |
| Read it over and let us know at our next meeting if you had any questions about it. | 01:52:34 | |
| Perfect. And if everybody, I don't believe I missed anything, we jumped around all over. So if you're seeing anything. | 01:52:38 | |
| I believe we continued. We don't have a closed session anymore on this one because we did it before everybody did the reports. | 01:52:45 | |
| Public comments, work session. OK. With that I will adjourn. Thank you for staying with us along tonight. | 01:52:53 |
