Event transcript
All right, we're going to start our Vineyard City Council meeting. The time is 7:14. Today is May 28th, 2025. 00:00:01
And what we're going to start with is something really fun. We're going to have our Lieutenant. 00:00:10
Lieutenant Rockwell, come up and share our Sheriff's Office awards. 00:00:15
Come on up. 00:00:21
Are we inviting everybody in? 00:00:23
I hope they do Thank you. 00:00:25
Come on. Thank you. As many of you know, we had our awards banquet on our last council meeting night couple weeks ago for the 00:00:27
Sheriff's Office is an annual awards banker that we hold every year. 00:00:32
Where we recognize that was the cowboy hat and Christie whistling at me, you know? 00:00:37
Umm, but. 00:00:42
Every year we like to recognize, definitely do great work and we have a lot of them and well, luckily for us here in venue, we 00:00:44
have a lot of deputies here in Vineyard actually all of them do great work. 00:00:49
And so I just wanted to bring them here to be able to recognize them before the public before you tonight. 00:00:53
And let everybody see him and. 00:00:58
Give them a round of applause for all their hard work. I want to just talk about a few of the award or the awards that they got. 00:01:00
So the first couple are what we call a certificate of appreciation. 00:01:05
And the first one went to our entire FTO program. FTO is our field training program. 00:01:08
When you become a cop, you get out of the Academy. You have to be trained. It's a 13 week program. 00:01:14
So you're in pretty. It's pretty, in fact. 00:01:19
One of them back there is actually in the program right now. 00:01:22
But umm. 00:01:25
It's a pretty intense program. It's really hard and it's a lot of work for the guys that are training the new deputies. 00:01:27
Writing a passenger for a cop is not a fun thing to do. 00:01:32
So you're doing that for 12 hours a day training them? 00:01:36
And here in Vineyard, and the names that we had that were on this list that got the certificate of appreciation is Deputy Austin 00:01:39
Baird. 00:01:42
Deputy Jordan Sainsbury's here tonight if he'll stand up. 00:01:46
Deputy Riley Redford will come on in. 00:01:49
And Deputy Sarah Davis. 00:01:51
She's out there hiding. 00:01:54
So. 00:01:55
Jordans right here. Come on, Jordan. Sam, your knee hurts, I know, but you can do it. 00:02:04
Wait, are you guys? 00:02:09
You're all gonna stay here so we can get pictures? Yeah, they're all gonna stay till we're done. But they received the certificate 00:02:10
of appreciation for being involved in the FTO program last year, just so everybody knows. 00:02:16
We put through over 15 new deputies, which equated over 4600 hours of training of new deputies here at the Sheriff's Office. So. 00:02:22
Congratulations to them. 00:02:30
Thank you so much. 00:02:32
All right. 00:02:34
Don't go anywhere. 00:02:38
Yeah, I don't go anywhere. 00:02:40
Bullock keep them here. 00:02:42
OK. The next one is Carson home? He's our detective here in Vineyard. Go ahead and stand up, Carson. 00:02:44
One of the things that we pride ourselves at the Sheriff's Office is our investigative units. We have really great investigative 00:02:51
units that that get used all over the state, get called by other agencies when they have big cases. 00:02:56
The whole investigations unit that deputy or detective Home works in got the certificate of appreciation for a bunch of awesome 00:03:01
cases that they worked on last year. 00:03:06
Throughout the county involving. 00:03:11
Crimes against persons, crimes of property, crimes, homicides, all kinds of things that happen throughout the county. Some of 00:03:14
these cases actually were some things in in Vineyard. 00:03:18
One of the things that. 00:03:23
Detective Detective Home got last year. 00:03:24
As he was the highest in arrest for all investigations for the first few months when he when he moved into that position. 00:03:27
And he's clearing out cases in Vineyard. 00:03:34
In record time, doing a great job for us that are really big. 00:03:36
Umm, fraud case that we had here in the city that he worked on with the deputies and they worked really hard. 00:03:40
And solve that case as well. So we just want to recognize Carson home for his hard work in our investigation unit. 00:03:45
All right. Next one is Deputy Chandler Catlin. 00:03:56
Come on up. 00:03:59
Deputy Catlin he. 00:04:03
And this it says he's killing it. He does a great job. He's very proactive in our city. 00:04:06
Just to give you guys an idea of some of the stuff that he did last year. 00:04:11
He had over he had 91 drug arrests in our city last year. 00:04:14
He had 37 DUI's. 00:04:18
He stopped, made 698 traffic stops, about 277 citations. 00:04:21
That is a lot of work. He did a lot of work in our city. 00:04:26
Now some of you might be thinking, is there that much drugs in vineyard, right? 00:04:29
Drugs are everywhere. 00:04:33
Vineyards not unique. 00:04:34
The difference is, are we out there looking for me getting them? 00:04:36
And that's what Deputy Catlin does. The other great thing is, is. 00:04:39
In this write up that talks about all those things but it also says. 00:04:42
When we had problems with parking, he was the first one to go out and clear out no parking areas and do the little things like 00:04:46
that. So whether it's drugs or something, something simple as parking. 00:04:51
He does a great job in Vineyard of being proactive and working hard to keep our residents safe. 00:04:56
That's awesome. 00:05:01
All right. The next one is Deputy Jordan Sainsbury. Come back up, Jordan. 00:05:07
Well, some of you guys might recognize him next to me. He is the longest tenured Vineyard deputy. 00:05:11
The write up address is five years, but it's actually I looked at the calendar, it was February. 00:05:16
Of 2019. 00:05:20
When Jordan started with Vineyard. 00:05:23
With us here. 00:05:25
So he's been here over six years now. 00:05:26
And Jordan does fantastic work. One of the things that Jordan likes does is he's a great mentor to the new deputies. 00:05:30
We get a lot of new deputies coming into vineyards that we get off of FTO. It's a great place to bring them here and get exposure 00:05:36
to calls and train them and he takes takes it seriously and mentoring them. 00:05:41
You'll notice if. 00:05:46
If he has a shift at 6:00. 00:05:47
He's here by probably 5:15 no matter what, sometimes even before that. 00:05:50
So he is a great worker. 00:05:55
He's a great asset to us. He knows the city, he knows you, he knows the neighborhoods. If a call comes out where we've got history 00:05:59
there, he's the first one to let everybody know on the radio. Hey. 00:06:03
Just be aware this is what we had here last week or last year or whatever it was. 00:06:08
He is just a really good asset. 00:06:12
And enjoys this time here in vineyards and we're going to keep them as long as we can so. 00:06:14
All right. Those are our awards that our deputies here in Vineyard received. 00:06:23
They really do great work. I just want you guys to know that. 00:06:27
We appreciate your support. 00:06:30
Working in Vineyard is really is really awesome. We have great support from the council and the mayor and the citizens. 00:06:33
We feel it, we appreciate it, and I really appreciate all the hard work that they do to keep vineyards safe. 00:06:39
That's awesome. Listen, let's all stand for these guys and give them around applause and then we're going to have you come up and 00:06:44
do pictures. 00:06:47
He used to work. He was no longer in Vineyard. He works for the Sheriff's Office. 00:07:11
I didn't get an award, they got award. 00:07:27
All right. 00:07:51
Good work for. 00:08:00
Hey. 00:08:01
All right, that brings us to our work session where we're going to be talking about our purchasing policy and our finance 00:08:20
directory. 00:08:24
Director Christy Bayless will. 00:08:28
Lead that discussion. 00:08:30
Good evening Mayor and council and citizens. 00:08:37
Tonight is This is not an actionable item on the budget it or on. Sorry, I've been talking budget too much lately. 00:08:40
On the agenda what has been brought to the Council is a concern that our. 00:08:47
Approvals for our purchasing policy might need to be reduced. 00:08:52
And so the presentation that I'm giving to you tonight is going to show where we are and our purchasing policy as well as other 00:08:56
cities in Utah County. 00:09:00
And so if you happen to take, if you look at the agenda. 00:09:05
What you see up on the screen is what are actually purchasing policy guide looks like. 00:09:09
I have put that in a little bit prettier presentation. 00:09:16
And we'll show you that now. 00:09:19
So this is our current Vineyard matrix. 00:09:23
The legend is down at the bottom. DH is department head. 00:09:28
See, I'm a city manager. 00:09:32
FD is finance director. 00:09:34
TA is purchasing agent. 00:09:36
We do not in Vineyard have a separate. 00:09:38
Purchasing purchasing agent, I actually fulfill that role for Vineyard. 00:09:41
So I'm not only a department head, I'm also the purchasing. 00:09:45
Agent. 00:09:49
And then the GB is for the governing board. 00:09:50
Obviously when it says mayor, we know who that is. 00:09:52
So this is where we currently are. I'm just going to walk you through it real quick. 00:09:56
So can I interrupt? I'm so sorry, I just want to make sure I understand. 00:10:00
You're you're the purchasing agent, the department head and the finance director or is there? 00:10:05
OK, Art. As you'll notice on here, there's not one that says finance director, but I fulfill the role as a. 00:10:11
Department heads for finance items but I can't represent. 00:10:17
I can't be the purchasing agent and the department head on the same. Yes, good question. Thank you for clarifying that. 00:10:21
I did want to mention one other thing that is not represented anywhere in the presentation. 00:10:27
We have our city credit cards that city employees have. 00:10:32
That are through Zions Bank. 00:10:36
And we have a program that is called Spend Clarity where they go in and upload their. 00:10:38
Receipts and transactions and code them. 00:10:43
The limit that we have set on credit card transactions is $200. 00:10:45
So anything that is over $200 that is charged to a credit card. 00:10:50
Has to also be signed off by the director. 00:10:55
And then obviously, we have Corian Human resources that signs off on Eric's. So if you have any questions about that, let me know 00:10:58
that. 00:11:02
It is very low considering for credit card charges, but I think that that's maybe an area. 00:11:07
Where there's more instances of fraud. 00:11:12
And so I think it's important that we keep it at that 200. I feel really good about that level of approval. But again, that's not 00:11:14
on here because that's only relative to credit card purchases. 00:11:19
In general, up to $5000. 00:11:24
The purchasing agent or the department head or someone that works under them that they designate can sign off on that purchase 00:11:27
amount. 00:11:31
From $5000 and 1 penny up to 25,000. 00:11:37
Not only do you have to have approval from the purchasing agent and the department head. 00:11:41
You either have to show that you have 3 price quotes or that you are piggybacking on a state contract. 00:11:46
The next one 25,000 and one penny to $50,000. 00:11:53
Is again the three price quotes or state contract. 00:11:57
That in this instance we have to have a mayor's signature added or that designee. 00:12:00
I did want to mention as we go down through this, as we look at the other cities. 00:12:06
You will see that a lot of ours say and and and. 00:12:09
And a lot of the other cities say or or or. So we're actually pretty strict as far as general policies go because a lot of our 00:12:13
state and instead of or. 00:12:18
Umm, anything that's over the $50,000 mark. 00:12:24
Has to be a sealed bid, a state contract which I already mentioned or a request for proposal. 00:12:29
So RFP is a request for proposal. 00:12:36
The difference between a still bid and an RFP? 00:12:38
And sealed bid is when people are able to submit. 00:12:42
Bids for a project. 00:12:46
And then the purchasing agent meets with everyone who put in a bid and they open them. 00:12:48
Together. 00:12:53
And the purchasing agent says they gave me this, this and this so they do qualify. 00:12:54
These are the prices that were given us and they make the decision at that time. 00:12:58
An RFP is when the information is also in it and then a committee reviews. 00:13:02
Those and then makes the best decision for the city. So that's the difference between those two. 00:13:07
And again, we add that it has to be on their or designate, designate and the governing board. 00:13:13
Now you'll notice it says next to it that purchase. It says no public and public works purchases. 00:13:18
That's because there is an exception for that for the bid process. 00:13:24
Because public works projects are often infrastructure and very high dollar. 00:13:28
And so they are given an exception to. 00:13:32
$50,000 limit. 00:13:35
So up to 2100 and 25,000 again it's the still bid state contractor RFP. 00:13:39
The purchasing agent department head. 00:13:46
So both of them and the city manager and the mayor. 00:13:48
So all four are required for anything between 50 and 125. 00:13:52
And then the last one, anything that's over 125,000. 00:13:57
Is sealed 5th state contract or RFP? 00:14:00
And then again, the governing board has been added to that one as well. That needs to sign off on that. 00:14:04
So. 00:14:12
I had this wonderful presentation with all this stuff, but I feel like we're all kind of a little bit maybe burned out at this 00:14:14
point. 00:14:17
This is and it's hard to see, but again, these slides will be put up on the website for anybody to look at. 00:14:20
So I have individual slides showing the cities that we looked at. 00:14:26
And then this was just a culmination of all of them. 00:14:30
You'll see like Saratoga Springs only has two matrixes. 00:14:33
One is 0 to 40,000 and then 40,000 and above. 00:14:37
Spanish Fork has three different tiers or matrixes. 00:14:41
Again, we have 6, So I think we're looking pretty good there. And then in addition to that, we have the 200 that's related to 00:14:46
credit card transactions. 00:14:50
So again I will put this on the website so you can review it. 00:14:54
But I wanted to go back and show you what the average matrix among Utah cities was. 00:14:57
Maybe I should read them off in case you didn't see. 00:15:04
So this one we were able to look at Linden, Saratoga Springs, Spanish Fork. 00:15:07
Orem, Lehi, American Fort, Springville, Eagle Mountain, Highland and Pleasant Grove. 00:15:13
And when I say we we have a finance intern that was really diligent in getting all of this information. He also tried to get 00:15:20
information for Provo, Payson and Napleton, but was not able to find that on their website. It was not easily accessible. 00:15:26
So thank you to that for his work on that. 00:15:35
Anyway, here is the average matrix among Utah cities. We are on the right. You can see the vineyards current matrix. 00:15:39
And on the left is the most common across the town, across cities in the county. 00:15:46
I would also like to mention, I've sent this presentation to Tad Rasmussen. He is in the Finance Department, Procurement division 00:15:51
at Utah County. He's the purchasing agent there. 00:15:56
And I asked him, I said this is what I'm presenting. What are your thoughts? 00:16:02
And he replied with seems reasonable. 00:16:06
So I did reach out to get someone else's opinion. Besides what? 00:16:09
The information showed so again you can see from this. 00:16:13
We are well within what cities in our county are doing. 00:16:17
Again, this is just for information if the Council decides that at another time they want to make changes. 00:16:21
There that liberty to do that because the the amounts that we're showing were voted on by council. 00:16:28
So this is just informational. 00:16:34
Any questions? 00:16:36
OK, Council, any questions? 00:16:38
Hello, thanks for all your hard work. I love seeing how we compare to other to other cities. That's really helpful. I think it is 00:16:42
too. 00:16:45
Eric gave me a paper, I think maybe Zach made it as well, showing like the breakdown of how many purchases actually land above 00:16:48
these numbers. Yes. 00:16:53
And I have that as a slide too, but I wasn't sure how deep we wanted to go. 00:16:58
So, yeah, that's this slide. It shows you for fiscal year 24. 00:17:01
We have 4504 so 4504 transactions. 00:17:06
So if we were to take and we didn't have any limitations, all transaction had to go to council with 24 meetings a year that would 00:17:11
require council approval for just over 100, so almost 188 transactions per meeting. 00:17:18
And then you can see it goes up from there. So anything from 0 to $200. 00:17:27
Would require approval. 00:17:32
For there would be 2591 transactions, which meant 1913 would need to be. 00:17:35
Approved per meeting. So then that would be close to 80 per meeting. 00:17:40
And then you can follow it on up. 00:17:43
Yeah, it just shows that. 00:17:46
In total, and again, this is fiscal year 24. 00:17:48
Just because that's our first year, that's the year that we have full information on. 00:17:51
So we were able to go in and. 00:17:55
So how big this would be? 00:17:58
Our intention at this point is in going forward on July, June 11th meeting. 00:18:00
We will be giving the council members a list of all of the things that were in the prior. 00:18:06
A month by line item so you will be able to see that. 00:18:10
And be aware of what's going on and let us know if there's any concern. That's great. And I think I think maybe for the public, 00:18:13
and I'm sure you've already said that and most people understand that this is all. 00:18:18
Budgeted items like if something in our budget needs to change. 00:18:24
To be able to have one of these transactions that go through, then it would have to come to the governing board to make that 00:18:28
adjustment. 00:18:31
Actually with anything right, with any budget like within. 00:18:35
Sorry. 00:18:38
I'm trying to speak your language. You go ahead and explain it well. I think that was a very good point. We can't spend anything 00:18:39
that we haven't budgeted for. A lot of the higher dollar, we actually have a contract that rolls over from year to year, for 00:18:44
instance, Republic Services. 00:18:49
They service all the citizens, all the trash, and for the city as well. 00:18:54
And so that is a contract that we have that was brought to council and approved. 00:18:58
So as you see those come through on your monthly reports, you'll go, Oh yeah, we've already talked about that one. So you will see 00:19:02
that there are recurring high dollar ones that have been approved in a council meeting. 00:19:08
But yes, anything within these dollar amounts you can guarantee if you find something and you're like, wait a minute. 00:19:14
That was. 00:19:19
$17,000 you can reach out to me and I can provide you with this gate contract. 00:19:20
Or the three bids to back that up with the invoice, which you can also see on the tentative and final budget approvals that you 00:19:26
make annually as well. 00:19:31
Yeah. And I think what I was trying to say before was just different fund balances because if a department decides that they want 00:19:36
to go to a different conference and another one, they can decide that without. 00:19:41
US deciding anything unless it. 00:19:47
Right. So that's a great question. So I'm traveling and training. 00:19:50
They will have a line item budget and say that they're going to go to these three conferences that in total it's $5000. 00:19:55
Now they may decide this one's not as great and we don't need to go to that one, so we're going to go to the other one. As long as 00:20:01
they are less than the 5000, they don't have to bring it back to council. 00:20:05
Because that's the dollar amount that was approved on budget. Does that make sense to everybody? Yeah. Thank you for your work. 00:20:10
Did you have anything? 00:20:13
Yeah. Do you want me to walk you through how I think this is getting gained? 00:20:18
No, but if there is something that you would like to be changed. 00:20:22
I think we're open to that discussion, so. 00:20:25
If you have a prior background. 00:20:29
I still work for the public group. We're the ones that set up the state code for procurement, so changing from paper to electronic 00:20:31
purchasing. 00:20:35
Is my background. 00:20:40
There's only what three things that the state mandates to cities that we have to do, which is 1. We have to do an annual budget, 00:20:42
you know, it's at a certain time or whatever. 00:20:48
But the state does not dictate the. 00:20:54
Specificity as to how detailed that is and so for the vast majority of our budget. 00:20:57
Unless it's been updated today. 00:21:03
It will say meetings or travel or miscellaneous, and so there's no specificity if you go to other cities. 00:21:05
It will say the. 00:21:14
Utah Recorders Association conference and have the exact dollar amount disclosing what it is, so there's no question as to this is 00:21:15
what it is. 00:21:20
By leaving that specificity, I don't know about it until I have one vote a year in order to see that So, but there there's nothing 00:21:25
illegal about it. It just means that I as a representative don't get to see it. 00:21:32
You know, last year. OK, hold on. Let's pause for a second. 00:21:38
Do you want to explain how that actually works? 00:21:41
Yes, actually the Friday before our last council meeting, Jake did receive the line item detail, as did all council members. 00:21:43
And I asked them to reach out to me if they had any questions. So you do have the line item detail that goes with each, right? And 00:21:51
so I guess that's important about that. 00:21:58
Change. OK, right. I agree. So what would you like to see? 00:22:04
I think that it needs to be spelled out as to where we're traveling, like I looked in the budget. 00:22:08
We traveled to the North Carolina Association last year in the. 00:22:14
In the Ledger, right? 00:22:19
Why are we in North Carolina that would raise a red flag as Christy is that something that will be on the monthly line items for 00:22:21
the council to see and usually. 00:22:26
Because of all the. 00:22:32
Scrutiny that we've been under. 00:22:34
On the line item, detail if the. 00:22:35
Finance director is aware of where the conferences will be held. It will say that. 00:22:38
On some of the line item details you'll notice it will say this or this. 00:22:43
There may be two conferences, they're just going to choose one as long as it's within that dollar amount. 00:22:47
I wanted to also mention that GFOA which is the governing. 00:22:52
Expert for the Government Finance Officers Association. They do not have a recommend. 00:22:57
A recommendation for this because every city is so unique and so different. 00:23:03
So. 00:23:08
Council came up with. 00:23:09
Was very close to what other cities in the county are doing. 00:23:11
OK. And the line items that we've been looking at for over 10 years are pretty? 00:23:15
They're pretty clear. 00:23:20
And so being able to see this and I think. 00:23:22
The idea of having it monthly, I think answers your question. I don't think you can get much clearer than the way that they're 00:23:25
articulating it. And it looks like Christie's saying she's going to try to be even additionally clear, which. 00:23:32
I think it looks like that was been met for you. Is it OK if I go from beginning to end? 00:23:40
Without being interrupted. Is that OK? 00:23:46
OK, well, just to just hold on. 00:23:50
Just Jake, let me finish what I'm saying. 00:23:53
Just to set a boundary for this, we have a lot of things on the agenda. So I'm going to go ahead and let you know that we probably 00:23:56
have about 7 minutes left on this item. 00:24:00
So make sure that you give enough time for the rest of the Council to have. 00:24:05
Someone had to talk. I can be brief. 00:24:09
It's I think it's more of the decision making like whether it be the 80 to 90,000 in food or being in North Carolina, it's like 00:24:13
are we there or are we not? 00:24:18
Or World Trade Center, just different. 00:24:23
A point of clarification. I don't even know if I'm using it. I think it's a point of clarification. Point of clarification. 00:24:28
You're quoting 90,000. You're quoting 90,000 and. 00:24:35
And from what I've been able, what's been handed to me? 00:24:40
Is if we go through every single food transaction. 00:24:43
And I'm talking like. 00:24:48
$3000 on candy for Boo Palooza talking. We had like an employee appreciation lunch where we ordered Costa Vida during the summer. 00:24:51
We're all invited to that every year. Those also include. 00:24:57
Sponsors sponsorships and it does and it also includes we have a, we have a Communities that Care. They do dinner, but then we get 00:25:04
reimbursed by the Communities That Care coalition. 00:25:09
Our total right here. 00:25:14
IS 24,523 and $0.60. 00:25:16
And that going through the Ledger. 00:25:21
Blue Appaloosa. This is all the transactions in the Ledger in the Ledger. 00:25:23
Show food. So if you want to keep saying 90,000, I would really appreciate you showing me what you're getting from. 00:25:28
Because I. 00:25:34
I would like us to be accurate, especially from right. I can bring a next meeting. 00:25:35
Thank you. 00:25:40
But it's the it's the decision making, I think that in going through the Ledger of like. 00:25:42
The average, the average city isn't buying these. So it's more of like is our department heads making those decisions to buy that 00:25:48
or OK, I like what you're saying. So you're asking us to change the purchase policy? 00:25:56
Hold on. Wait. I'm asking for a point of clarity. You're asking, you're saying that other cities have a different purchasing 00:26:04
policy guide. 00:26:07
No. So in speaking with the state auditor, I think the most important thing is that putting putting it on the 10 cent item of the 00:26:11
following month like you're saying. 00:26:16
Moving forward and starting next month, we're going to be going through and disclosing what we actually what sit on. Those things 00:26:21
would be huge. 00:26:25
OK. So I know it's after the fact. I want to make sure that I'm understanding you, Jake. So we're talking about decision making. 00:26:29
These numbers show how many things we would have to have on consent based off of approval amounts. 00:26:36
And then this purchasing policy. 00:26:43
Christie showed you what is done by other cities. 00:26:46
The average and there was also a list. So was there something in particular on pricing or Yeah, I think yeah, I think anything 00:26:49
that is in the above $5000 mark should be disclosed and just put in the in the monthly meet just. 00:26:56
As a report, hey, these were the decisions we made this past month, OK. And it looks like it's going to be itemized for everything 00:27:03
in a monthly report. So you'll have that. So I wouldn't worry about that. Looks like that's been done decision making. However, it 00:27:09
looks like we have this here. I'm feeling really comfortable with the decision making. 00:27:14
I mean, we are more stringent than other cities, which is incredible. 00:27:22
We don't have an or, we have an and we have multiple layers of signatures, which is pretty impressive. 00:27:27
I just wanted to. 00:27:32
I have a question. Are you saying that you want those on consent or you're satisfied with the monthly report? 00:27:33
Because my it would be amazing to get consent beforehand so that we went on the record of you were OK with this type of travel and 00:27:39
it'd be amazing that I or I was as well. 00:27:44
But if I mean if the Council doesn't advise that at least just a disclosure of what we were doing and I would say we do have that 00:27:49
on the tentative and annual budget for what we're OK with training those types of things. 00:27:55
Even. 00:28:02
I mean travel that you've discussed in the past have all gone through the same rigorous process. And I would encourage you, Jake, 00:28:03
because I don't have any problem with. 00:28:07
Your concerns are valid when it comes to travel. 00:28:12
I've actually met with a few different department heads and I asked them those questions, like which conferences are you going to 00:28:16
that are out of state? 00:28:19
And what I'm learning is it's not very many and specifically, I could be wrong and maybe Nissin can answer this, but the North 00:28:22
Carolina one? 00:28:26
My memory is that our tree, our arborist. 00:28:31
He was recognized in a national conference, and so he was being celebrated with a keynote speaker. I don't know. There was 00:28:35
something special. Yeah. So. 00:28:39
Last year we had our Arvest who was recognized. 00:28:45
National conference for greens like landscaping, grounds maintenance. 00:28:48
Ask for achieving the leadership. 00:28:53
Level of certification. 00:28:56
And we we would definitely want to recognize him for his hard work. It was. 00:28:58
It was about a year plus program. 00:29:04
To recognize him for his hard work and also. 00:29:07
Ensure that his staff was able to. 00:29:10
See that knowledge it was he recognized, but they also had the opportunity to. 00:29:13
Learn more about. 00:29:17
More more sustainable. 00:29:19
Ground maintenance and obviously landscaping stuff as well. And just for a point of clarity, you said you felt like it was 00:29:21
meaningful to concern and I would just want to clarify it. The concern was are we approving it? 00:29:28
And we are doing it at the budget. 00:29:36
Is the decision making acceptable? That's something that you should probably comment on. And can we see it? And I think we'll see 00:29:38
it in that report. So I have no problem with someone wanting to focus on being conservative in our budget, is what I was trying to 00:29:44
say. OK, So what I want to speak to is the culture of the city I think has been misrepresented. 00:29:51
And if when I compare us to other cities when I'm scouting with my council friends at different meetings or we go to lunch. 00:29:57
I pay for my own lunch and I tell them we talk about different routines and I went and toured. 00:30:07
Different council chambers and they were like, oh, and this is where we eat our lunch or our dinner before our council meeting. I 00:30:14
go. 00:30:18
Yeah, we don't get dinner, they go. You don't get dinner at every single council meeting. 00:30:21
What's your staffing? They've been at the office all day and you don't feed your staff? And I'm like, yeah, we're really strict 00:30:26
over here. And then I'm up in the staff room upstairs and there's like a pile of soda and my son is like, I am. 00:30:32
How do I ask for a soda? And I'm told that the staff actually pays for their own stash of soda cans on the counter in the stack 00:30:39
area. They pull together funds to share the cost of the soda because we are so fiscally conservative. 00:30:47
I just think that there are so many things that our staff are doing. We've had people, we've had conferences that they don't go to 00:30:57
because they're trying to be fiscally responsible. 00:31:02
I think that are we perfect? No. I'm sure there's things that we could look at and fix or change, but to me the. 00:31:06
The culture and the job satisfaction and the little things like that. 00:31:14
It. 00:31:19
Makes me upset if I'm trying to use words that are appropriate. I would like to make a motion to pay for the staff. Soda like that 00:31:21
is ridiculous to me. I would love to change the budget so that we're feeding the staff when we're doing 6 hour meetings and 00:31:27
they've already been at work all day. So. 00:31:33
I feel like we hyper focus on so many things that it's creating a really hard atmosphere with food specifically when there's an 00:31:39
exaggeration on. 00:31:44
What we're actually spending on food, I feel like it's hyper focusing on all the issues. 00:31:49
So until you can prove me different, Jake, I would like to add to the budget. 00:31:53
Feeding our staff, I would like to add to the budget the soda supply. 00:31:58
Like this is ridiculous. And my focus is have someone as long as you're willing to vote on it so it's disclosed like. 00:32:03
There's another one, and I think we've gotten this. 00:32:11
Conversation. Well, I hold on just for a point of clarity. As long as we're willing to vote on it, we do vote on it annually. Our 00:32:13
decisions are labeled. We can see it in our report. 00:32:19
We do see it. You're just getting it monthly now it's different. 00:32:27
You do approve it. It doesn't change. You're just getting to look at it. 00:32:34
Often, no, that's not characterized. No, that is characterizing it is accurate. 00:32:39
OK, let me end this by saying, and it's the same thing with the bicycle Commission going to the conference in San Francisco on the 00:32:44
taxpayers time. 00:32:49
Even go to San Francisco. Like why are we? Why are we hyper focusing on travel to San Francisco? 00:32:53
Because it's taxpayer dollars that like a normal city does. Yeah. And go. No, a normal city does do that. I was talking to another 00:33:01
city, and they send their council members to DC every year. Yeah. Your court is wrong. Several different cities that travel across 00:33:07
the United States is very common. And you make it seem like we're some wild, frivolous city. It's not just that, Jake. You're 00:33:14
making statements. You're. No, you're making statements. 00:33:20
About our finances that are not clear. 00:33:27
See, there is a, there is a trip that you're talking about where the other cities went to it and our city participated in it. And 00:33:30
when you say normal cities. 00:33:35
And the Council. 00:33:41
Suddenly has a conversation about it. They're saying we were not the only city, we did not. 00:33:43
Randomly come up with something to go to on our own, We participated. 00:33:47
With the rest of the cities. 00:33:52
Across the state. 00:33:54
Because we are prioritizing the things that our residents care about. 00:33:55
And that we vote on in this budget. I just want it as long as it is publicly discussed and brought the information and put it on. 00:34:00
On a. 00:34:09
Consent item of everything that are in anything over. 00:34:11
5000 and then just. 00:34:15
In the report, so it's disclosed like and I'm totally OK, like you guys are elected officials. 00:34:17
And we will have different agreements on. 00:34:22
You know, waste, someone say waste. It's just they're just opinions or hey, this is a priority. Like you want to increase. I'm OK 00:34:26
with that. 00:34:29
What I just want is that it's disclosed, so it's not an annual thing. 00:34:33
And so my last point, I know this is an opinion. 00:34:38
We don't have the tax base of all of those cities that we're talking about. 00:34:41
Like that, we're a fraction of their size and budget. 00:34:46
All right, so. 00:34:49
Thank you, Jake, for your comment. I'm going to make a comment and then I'm going to give time for the rest of the council and 00:34:51
even Eric has he has to stand up. 00:34:54
Umm. My thought on this is that. 00:34:57
We don't have the same tax base as everybody, but we do have the appropriate tax base for us and we do spend it in a fiscally 00:35:01
conservative way, as has been shown here. When I'm looking at the purchasing policy guide, it looks like we have one of the most 00:35:07
stringent, stringent approval processes. 00:35:13
It's been clarified. Even if you go through this policy guide, it talks about itemization. I think that that's clear for the 00:35:20
people. 00:35:23
And now our staff has taken an additional step that goes beyond what other cities are doing to clarify and itemize, just to make 00:35:27
sure that everybody knows what we are approving annually, what we do quarterly, which was already being handed out there. 00:35:35
What we put on approval, which we can see the hours and times that it would take to get through the stuff and then how stringent 00:35:43
we are with our fiscal conservative approach. So for me, I don't, I'm not going to change the way that we're doing this purchase 00:35:49
policy, purchasing policy because. 00:35:55
Right now we are the most stringent and I think that. 00:36:00
In an effective way, I think it's been good. 00:36:03
Marty. 00:36:06
I yeah, I'm with you. I don't agree with the consent items for everything 5000 above that would be 400. 00:36:07
90 transactions. 00:36:15
And um. 00:36:17
What is the effort and just hold on, Marty? 00:36:19
I need, I need our city staff to be able to run efficiently. And if they want to make a purchase for something that's necessary 00:36:22
for the city, but they have to wait until we're in a quorum to get it approved. To me that is not allowing our city to function as 00:36:28
it needs to. And I understand that you want to be involved in this. 00:36:35
And I don't. 00:36:41
I want to say this in a way that's respectful. 00:36:43
But I think you're blurring the lines of administrative versus legislative, and I think we need to allow our administrative team 00:36:46
to do their jobs. 00:36:50
And so I have faith and trust in our staff that they are doing a great job. We pay for an audit every year, We go over the budget, 00:36:55
they present it, they're willing to meet with each and everyone of us. 00:37:00
About their entire division or their department's budget. And that's when I asked my questions. And then from there I say. 00:37:07
All right. I am happy with what you've presented. Please, like legally you have to stay within those bounds. And I support you and 00:37:14
thank you for all of your hard work in the city. 00:37:19
So I don't agree with you, Jake. OK. So just for clarity on Jake's question. 00:37:24
Marty did mention it would be 492 transactions, which is about 20 consent items and we often take things off to talk about it. And 00:37:29
then there's the blur division of lines and efficiencies. Sarah, your turn. 00:37:33
I just echo what Marty said. 00:37:39
I totally agree. 00:37:41
Awesome. 00:37:44
With that, we're going to move on to our next agenda item. 00:37:45
Let me pull that up really quick. I have to go. But I've already spoken with the mayor. 00:37:48
So my daughters boyfriend. 00:37:54
Last minute got his mission call. 00:37:58
So, umm. 00:38:01
Just found out about it today. 00:38:02
Don't know where he's going. 00:38:03
So just before you leave, because you have, do you want to take a minute? Is there anything else that you needed us to be aware of 00:38:05
for the next meeting? 00:38:08
I just want to say I appreciate you at least putting up for my advocacy of a different way of the. 00:38:13
Of the procurement policy and disclosure, I know I disagree, but at least we were able to go. 00:38:19
In a respectful way of. 00:38:25
About going about it. 00:38:28
And then the second thing is, is I just want to publicly thank Seth from the state Auditor's office and also Nora. 00:38:30
They've been incredible. I've spent hours. 00:38:36
With them trying to understand and I think that added a lot in terms of the RDA and that discussion of what. 00:38:39
What did happen in the past and so? 00:38:46
I just think it's helpful so that. 00:38:49
You know, that's all I'd say. OK, Thanks, Jake. 00:38:52
Have fun tonight. 00:38:56
All right, that brings us to our public comments. So this is for anything that is not on the agenda. If you want to come up, can 00:38:57
you raise your hand if you're going to make a public comment, OK. 00:39:02
Is there anybody else that's going to make a public comment tonight? 00:39:08
OK. 00:39:11
Hi, I'm Darlene Price and I live in the villas. 00:39:12
I have two things that are a safety issue. 00:39:16
One would be the little guys that are writing those. 00:39:20
Motor scooters. 00:39:23
Are not following the street signs, so if the sign says stop, they don't stop, they just keep going. 00:39:25
And. 00:39:33
In in our area. 00:39:34
I have seen cars so close to hitting a child on one of those scooters, but the thing that's scary is that the child has no clue 00:39:37
that that happened. 00:39:41
You know, so I'm especially at the roundabout. 00:39:45
I'm concerned about that. 00:39:48
I'm concerned that people, adults driving cars are not stopping at the yellow flashing things when there's past. 00:39:50
People walking across the streets, I don't know what else to do. 00:39:56
But that happens regularly on. 00:40:00
Is that vineyard? Is it Main Street? That's that's? 00:40:03
By their other clubhouse, yes. 00:40:06
And they have one. There's for you to do that. And it says right there big things. 00:40:08
Don't drive through. And so these people push the button and they just drive on through. 00:40:13
So I don't know what can be done, but those are safety issues that I'm concerned about. 00:40:17
Another safety issue and I think it's the Grove. 00:40:22
I think it's called the Grove Tennis Courts. It's where the old library used to be. 00:40:25
What's that called? 00:40:32
Yeah, Gammon Park. Gammon Park. 00:40:34
Um, I had the joy. 00:40:38
Of falling face first on that cement. 00:40:39
And as I looked at the cement. 00:40:43
Thank goodness there was an ENT guy there, so that was fine. 00:40:46
But as I looked at the cement, it needs a grinder. 00:40:50
Because one part of it is above by about this much. 00:40:54
And. 00:40:58
Don't say because she's old, because I pay attention to where my feet are. 00:40:59
Right. And so I'm purposely missing cracks because I don't want to end up and I did. I ended up flat on my face. 00:41:03
Nothing, except I looked like I had been skateboarding, right? 00:41:09
First thing she is on. 00:41:14
Our street, Yeah, on Pintail. 00:41:18
We have people going 40 to 50 miles. 00:41:22
I need to have that. 00:41:26
Phoenix Equip. Temporary. 00:41:27
Just bolt it to the ground. 00:41:32
Just going down, but that's scary. 00:41:34
Children and stuff like that. So those are my OK. 00:41:37
And Holden is now aware of that and this team is aware of that, so they'll be on it. And also, darling, you might want to be 00:41:40
present for the next day council meeting where we'll be talking about some little safety issues you were talking about with the 00:41:44
scooters. 00:41:48
Missy, I'd love to learn more about temporary bumps. 00:41:53
No, not right now. Come back later. 00:42:00
Daria Evans Villas residents, thank you for this opportunity to ask a couple questions. 00:42:12
I just want to say thank you to our Sheriff's Department. Thank you very much. Also, I want to acknowledge. 00:42:18
Our veterans. 00:42:25
This past memorial weekend, we were able to. 00:42:27
Go to several grandspan. 00:42:31
Just the beauty of all the flags. 00:42:34
And just remembering. 00:42:36
All those who live. 00:42:39
Given their lives for. 00:42:40
So that we can be here and debate. 00:42:42
And agree and disagree. 00:42:45
I have a couple of questions. 00:42:48
Umm, the RTA meeting. 00:42:50
Where can I find the answers to John's question To John from Horns questions about the TEC? 00:42:53
He said they will be written. I would like to know where they will be found so that I can look at them. 00:43:00
And then I have a question about the tentative fiscal year 2526 budget that was just on. 00:43:05
Where do the miscellaneous revenues come from? 00:43:12
I notice there's going to be 10,000 coming up in this. 00:43:16
26 budget and I'd like to know where those miscellaneous revenues are coming from. 00:43:20
My questions for Reckoning. Thank you very much. 00:43:25
Hi, David, Larry. 00:43:33
Holy Rd. I wanted to. 00:43:35
Say thank you to the Council for the. 00:43:38
The debate that's been going on, I know it's frustrating for you sometimes, but I really appreciate the back and forth. It really 00:43:40
helps get the. 00:43:43
Issues out in the open and I think that's a healthy thing for the city. 00:43:46
In the end. 00:43:49
So I appreciate that. 00:43:50
Thank you. 00:43:52
I think I want to make one one request if I could we've. 00:43:53
Traffic has been a. 00:43:57
Well, it's a topic around my house. We have problem with people speeding on Hollywood as well. 00:44:00
I mean, they just step on by there's a stop sign they. 00:44:05
Is it? 00:44:08
Anyway and so. 00:44:12
It would be possible to arrange for a petroleum more often there. I know the. 00:44:13
Deputies do a great job when they come and do it, it's just we possibly increase that a little bit. 00:44:19
And we thank you very much. 00:44:24
Thank you. 00:44:26
David Pierce from Cascade I just. 00:44:35
Once a second the concerns about the pedestrian crossings. 00:44:38
We we have had some. 00:44:44
My wife and I some close, very close calls crossing. 00:44:47
On Center St. 00:44:52
Or other cars have have stopped. 00:44:54
But there's always 1 Boston. 00:44:58
Goes right through. 00:45:01
I'm not sure what the answer is other than. 00:45:03
Education. 00:45:06
Or perhaps making the light? 00:45:08
Much more visible and dramatic. 00:45:13
Thank you. 00:45:17
Thank you. 00:45:18
On that note. 00:45:20
Besides Lieutenant Rockwell taking that on, maybe Morgan we can get the active Transportation Commission to do something for 00:45:24
education. 00:45:28
OK. 00:45:33
And Daria, thank you for bringing up our veterans. I know that time has passed that we. 00:45:37
So grateful for them and we do honor them. So thank you for bringing that up. That is really meaningful. 00:45:42
OK, We'll go ahead and close out of our public comments and we'll move on to mayor and council member reports. Do either of you 00:45:48
have anything that you would like to share for this meeting? 00:45:52
I just wanted for since Brett not here Vineyard days is next week. We're super excited for it. There is a website where the. 00:45:59
Put the whole schedule. 00:46:08
There's a lot of cool stuff happening, so I really encourage the community to go check it out and mark your calendars. 00:46:11
And. 00:46:17
And then specifically just sitting through our economic development meetings. 00:46:20
Really exciting progress with Huntsman with the grocery store. 00:46:26
And the Huntsman project is ahead of schedule while the grocery store is on a schedule. 00:46:30
And um. 00:46:36
There's just a lot to look forward to in our development, so just really want to report my. 00:46:38
Joy of being on that assignment. Joy, thank you. 00:46:43
Thank you. 00:46:46
Awesome. OK, well, I will tell you this, just for your information, there's a lot of transportation discussions that will be 00:46:50
coming up that you'll want to jump into. 00:46:54
You'll have the utilities discussions that are coming up the IRA with some of the developments that are going along are freight 00:46:59
alignment. 00:47:03
And I know Sarah, you'll probably jump into this meetings and so that's coming up, but both of you will actually want to attend 00:47:08
and make sure you're aware of them for the upcoming meetings. 00:47:12
The other council members have already been made aware, but I want to announce it again. The other thing is. 00:47:17
Make sure that you're scheduling meetings and really fine tooth combing what's happening with our budget because the next few 00:47:23
weeks. 00:47:27
As you want to bring it to the public, the next few weeks are where we're going to hone in on that and finalize our budgets. We 00:47:31
want to be prepared for that. 00:47:35
Pam has some announcements coming up for the candidate filing, so I'm going to turn a little bit of time over to her. 00:47:39
Thank you. 00:47:47
I just wanted to make this public. I put it on our website. We're doing some social media posts. 00:47:48
But the candidate filing carries starts on Monday. 00:47:53
June 2nd and goes to Friday June 6th from 8. 00:47:56
To 5:00 PM each day. 00:48:00
We are not. No appointment is needed. 00:48:02
So it's a first time, first served basis. 00:48:06
Both myself and my Deputy recorder, Tony. 00:48:08
Laurel will be. 00:48:11
During those declarations, but the one thing that I really wanted to emphasize that there are two new forms this year that are 00:48:15
required. 00:48:19
For certain for different reasons. 00:48:26
The conflict of interest form that the Council now has to fill out. 00:48:28
The candidates also then I'll have to fill. 00:48:32
So I have put that online and I've made that a fillable form. So if you don't fill that out ahead of time and bring that with you, 00:48:35
that'll save a lot of time because. 00:48:39
You need to fill it out before I can accept your packet. 00:48:44
Also. 00:48:48
If you want to run with a name other than your legal name. 00:48:49
So you have a derivative of your legal name, or you have a nickname that you go by. 00:48:54
And there's a new form that has to be filled out. 00:48:59
And you have to get 5 signatures of signatures from. 00:49:02
Five people in. 00:49:07
I think it's in the county. Don't quote me on that. I'll clarify that one. 00:49:11
It's on the form. 00:49:15
That you are not related to. 00:49:18
To say that yes, I know that person, this person by that name before it can go on the ballot. 00:49:21
As that name. So those are some things I just wanted to point out because there's a little. 00:49:27
Point of confusion on those two. 00:49:32
Items, but that one needs to be downloaded. It's. 00:49:34
And print it out because we need what we call wet or holographic signatures on the down floats. 00:49:38
So and that's wanted to say so. 00:49:44
Come declare, run. 00:49:48
Take part. 00:49:50
Thank you. Awesome. 00:49:51
All right. That brings us right to our consent items. Do you guys have any questions or can I get a motion? 00:49:53
I move to approve consent the consent items as they're presented. 00:50:00
All right, I have a first priority. Can I get a second? 00:50:04
Second, all right. And we'll do this by roll call Sarah. 00:50:07
Aye, Marty. 00:50:11
Hi. Hi, Jake and brother excused. All right, that brings us to our first public hearing. 00:50:12
This is the fiscal year 2025 budget amendment #3. 00:50:17
And we're going to go into a public hearing and then our finance director will present. So I need a motion to go into a public 00:50:22
hearing. So moved. Thanks, Marty. Second. 00:50:26
Second. All right, Sarah, All in favor, aye. 00:50:31
All right, go ahead, Christy. 00:50:34
Sorry, I'm getting that. 00:50:44
Thank you for your patience. It sounds like I wait forever and then all of a sudden it's my turn and I'm like, oh wait a minute, I 00:51:00
wasn't ready. 00:51:02
I think everyone is aware. 00:51:06
I gotta get that. 00:51:10
I think everyone is aware that. 00:51:11
Budget is uh. 00:51:13
Best guess at the time of what's going to be coming up and as we go throughout the year, there are changes that are made. 00:51:15
Or, umm. 00:51:20
For tonight's instance, we have revenue that increased over what we had initially projected and so. 00:51:21
This is Budget Amendment 3 for fiscal year 2025. 00:51:26
Just a few changes that. 00:51:31
Are being recommended and asked for your approval. 00:51:33
In the general fund, you can see that there was a property tax in OH. 00:51:37
I almost did it if there's not. 00:51:42
OK, sorry. 00:51:44
I'm sorry, Eric, not a property tax increase. Yeah, there was an increase in the collections from Utah County. 00:51:45
And then passing that on to us, your taxes are not going up. 00:51:53
This was just an increase in collection and so I thought that it was necessary to report that in the budget. 00:51:57
Umm, we have had $1868 donated to the skate park so far. 00:52:03
If you recall, we set aside a fund that was restricted just for that, and so it is set aside separately. 00:52:10
There was 174,322 left that we needed to transfer in from capital projects. 00:52:17
I mentioned in a previous meeting that we did not get the AmeriCorps library representative. 00:52:25
That we thought we were going to get, but in the end because we hadn't hired them yet. 00:52:31
We're actually going to be decreasing our expenses in the library by 2333. 00:52:36
And then? 00:52:41
It was requested that we do a spring cleanup and we needed to include that in the budget. So that was an increase of the expense 00:52:43
of 3000. 00:52:46
Umm, capital projects fund. It's just that same reduction that was taken to the general fund. We did not transfer that additional 00:52:51
amount to the general fund. 00:52:55
The sewer fund. 00:53:01
They need Utopia for the month of June to go to Lift Station 2. That's $350.00. 00:53:02
This will obviously be going forward, so it will be included in the fiscal year 26 budget. 00:53:09
But this is just an exception that we will need for the month of June. 00:53:14
And then our contract services. 00:53:18
We split the contract services with the RDA half and half. 00:53:21
And I think everyone is aware that this year we have. 00:53:25
Had a lot of legal things that had to be reviewed. 00:53:28
And as such, it is going to cost us a little bit more than we had anticipated to make it to the end of the year. 00:53:32
Again, that split is 5050. The Internal Service Fund will need to increase by 7500. The RDA will also increase by 7500 to meet 00:53:38
those obligations. 00:53:44
And that's all I have. 00:53:52
For the tentative or for that amended budget, sorry. 00:53:54
All right. Do you guys have any questions about that? 00:53:58
No, Everybody all right public, do you have any questions about that? 00:54:00
OK. Then I'm going to go out of the public hearing. Can I get a motion? 00:54:06
Thank you, Sarah. And a second. 00:54:11
OK, all in favor, aye? 00:54:13
All right, with that I need a motion. 00:54:16
I moved to adopt Resolution 2025-25 approving the Vineyard City Fiscal Year 2024 Dash 2025 Budget amendment #3 as presented by 00:54:28
staff. 00:54:33
All right, we have a first. Can I get a second? Second. 00:54:38
And we will do this by roll call. 00:54:41
Sarah, hi, Marty, hi. Hi. 00:54:43
Brett and Drake are excused. 00:54:46
All right, that brings us into our public hearing for the adaptive Tentative Fiscal year 20252026 budget. 00:54:49
I need a motion to go into a public hearing. 00:54:56
So moved. OK. Thanks Marty. Can I get a second? 00:55:00
Second, thanks, Sarah. All in favor, Aye, we're now in a public hearing. Christy, did you want to give like a brief introduction 00:55:03
from the meeting we had last time for the public? 00:55:08
Yes, and there was a couple of things that I thought would be helpful. So just as a review, I gave the tentative budget to the 00:55:12
Council on April 30th to start review. 00:55:17
In the following two weeks, I met with each council member to review the budget and to answer any questions that they had. 00:55:22
I have since asked them to reach out to me with any questions. 00:55:27
Thank you, Marty. She did have a question of concern and we went and redid A calculation and found out that it was indeed higher 00:55:30
than it needed to be. So thank you for being willing to review it and let us know that there was a question. 00:55:36
So everything, it's all on, it's going to be online and I will again put this. 00:55:43
Where you can view it online as part of the presentation for tonight. I think it's important to talk about staffing. 00:55:48
Because that's something that is often not really repetitive. You don't see it in the presentations. 00:55:54
So I have two different slides. 00:55:59
This first slide is all the positions that were requested. 00:56:02
And we are intending to approve them in the budget. So when you see the tentative budget. 00:56:06
These positions are included in that and I just wanted to go through them really quick. 00:56:11
Obviously we have a new council member that will be here for 1/2 of year next year. 00:56:16
That's going to be 11,000, just over $11,000. 00:56:20
So for the next fiscal year, for fiscal year 27, that number will actually double because it will be for a full year. 00:56:23
We have a deputy building official that is going to be retiring. 00:56:31
And has requested that there is a three month overlap between him and his replacement. 00:56:35
And so we had approved that and that is going to be a $34,000. 00:56:40
And when I say total cost increase, this is wages and benefits. This is everything. 00:56:44
Our environmental environmental utilities, water. 00:56:50
Requested another operator and they were granted that. 00:56:54
According to this intended. 00:56:58
It has also been requested that our neighborhood services in the planning department goes full. 00:57:02
Any of you are familiar with Maria and code enforcement and the need to maybe have someone in that position full time? 00:57:07
Again, the library we mentioned that we will now be funding A part-time position, which we have to do to extend our hours and 00:57:13
become a certified library. 00:57:17
Special events. I'm sure many of you have attended the special events. They're incredible and Anna and Zoe have done a fantastic 00:57:22
job. 00:57:26
Getting sponsorships and to help support these events. 00:57:31
And so they have asked that her time be increased from 1/2 to three quarter time. 00:57:34
And then the recreation department, as everyone is aware, has expanded some of their programs. 00:57:40
And as such need additional seasonal referees. 00:57:45
So those are all the ones that were asked for. 00:57:49
And that were improved in the budget that you see the tentative budget. 00:57:51
These other, these are the positions that we did not approve at that at this tentative budget. 00:57:57
Again, we can always add them in and make any changes to. This is just at where we are at this point in time. 00:58:03
We had a staff engineer. 00:58:08
I'm not going to insult your intelligence, but I'll just read the positions and then you'll know. 00:58:11
There was an environmental utilities operator for this wastewater or sewer fund. 00:58:15
Public Works Coordinator. 00:58:21
Cemetery, Sexton. 00:58:23
Streets and stormwater operator. 00:58:25
That part time blue sticker? 00:58:28
And then a recreation engine. 00:58:30
I think all of the rest of the information you're probably familiar with. I shared the capital project projects that last. 00:58:35
Can I interrupt you with a question? Yes. Will you go back to the other page? 00:58:42
Which one? 00:58:46
What's a cemetery section? Because we don't have one, We don't have a cemetery. So you want to explain that in the same? I'm sure 00:58:47
it has a purpose. I'm just really curious. 00:58:52
Yeah, I can prepare supplies for it if you would like, but I can't hear you, sorry. 00:58:59
But it's in essence. 00:59:04
Sexton is a. 00:59:07
Kind of more of a fancy word of a groundskeeper specifically for that deals with like specific types of ground, so. 00:59:09
I know there's this city has. 00:59:17
The Endeavors. 00:59:20
Getting a cemetery, which is definitely a great goal and a sex that would come in. 00:59:22
Get certified, trained up and minister that that gets turned on properly. Can I add to that? 00:59:28
Sorry, go ahead. 00:59:34
From the training that I've done effects and actually is responsible for. 00:59:35
Everything that happens in a cemetery. 00:59:40
From where the burial plots are, who buys them, who's buried there? They have to keep a record of all of that, and it has to be 00:59:42
really specific. 00:59:47
OK, so that you can find people. So that might come up again as we get our cemetery. 00:59:51
OK. And right now we have money and. 00:59:58
Our negotiations for that, so maybe we'll see that come through. Are there any questions from the public? Do you want to pull up 01:00:00
the capital projects just on the screen and in case the public has any questions? 01:00:06
Just for the council, I want to remind everybody, it's really thank you Marty for getting your questions in early. The council is 01:00:11
going to keep. 01:00:15
Reaching out as they review those numbers so you still have some time to go through that. 01:00:19
With anything else that you see. 01:00:24
But for the public, if you want to bring things to the Council as they get ready to make those requests. 01:00:27
It's a really good time to. 01:00:34
To make any comments or get involved right now because that will help us in the next couple meetings that we're coming up with. 01:00:36
Margie, did you have something additional? No, I just felt like I interrupted her presentation and then we made her skip ahead. 01:00:42
I felt like you were coming to a close where you said no, I was coming to a close. I just thought we would just go over the 01:00:48
capital projects, but then we shared that in the prior meeting and the final budget will not be approved until June 25th. 01:00:55
So in the meantime, if you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your council members. 01:01:01
They can get me those questions and suggestions. 01:01:06
So that we are all in agreement when we come on the 25th and hopefully that will be a pretty simple process. 01:01:08
OK. 01:01:14
Any comments from the public at this time? 01:01:16
Otherwise, reach out David, come on up and state your name and where you're from. 01:01:20
Date of the rank pulled away wrote. 01:01:31
My question is. 01:01:33
So you have a section. 01:01:35
The cemetery is there a corresponding? 01:01:37
Budget item for. 01:01:39
Land for a cemetery and there's an association, there's a negotiation for land that we have, and there is money in our budget set 01:01:41
aside for a cemetery as well. 01:01:45
Are you in a point where you could suggest where that might be? 01:01:51
No, we are not. 01:01:54
OK, just checking. 01:01:55
Thanks. 01:01:56
All right. 01:01:58
I guess in general there have been many. 01:02:02
Areas identify, David, that you probably, you probably remember as I bring them up, but there are some on the north side of the 01:02:05
city that are in some development agreement opportunities and then some in the South side. 01:02:10
Where people have offered opportunities. 01:02:17
We have some land. 01:02:20
We always have land in our park facilities and then we have public. 01:02:23
And over in the forge area and then we have some public land. 01:02:27
In the Northside development. So any of those are opportunities. 01:02:31
All right, I need a lot of a public hearing. 01:02:36
Thank you, Sir. Can I get a second, Second. Thanks, Marty. All in favor? 01:02:42
All right. We'll move on to our public hearing for our wastewater sewer master plan and impact the analysis. 01:02:47
And we'll have the same presentation. 01:02:54
That will be for our 9.4 public hearing, our water master plan and impact the analysis. So what we'll do is we'll have the 01:02:57
presentation. 01:03:01
And this will be given to us by Steve Jones from Hanson, Allen and Lewis. 01:03:05
And then we will open the public hearing for 9.3. 01:03:10
Closeout of that, OK. 01:03:15
In the public hearing for 9.4 and then closeout of that. 01:03:16
With that, Steve, I'll let you take. 01:03:19
Take this item. 01:03:22
Time's up. Turn it on. I'm just gonna. 01:03:36
There we go. 01:03:48
Yes. So for efficiency I'm going to. 01:03:53
Discuss both of them and then you can hold the. 01:03:56
Public hearings. 01:03:59
So just going over some basics of impact fees. 01:04:01
And feel free to interrupt me at any time if you have any questions. 01:04:06
That purposes purpose of an impact the to fund projects and purchase necessary purchases necessary to support growth. 01:04:10
Or to reimburse the city for previous expenses that provide capacity for future growth. 01:04:19
So why an update was needed? 01:04:26
We have construction inflation. 01:04:29
Master plan updates, land use changes, and anticipated growth. 01:04:32
So the impact fee planning process, we assess the existing system. 01:04:38
Forecast growth for the within the next 10 year planning period. 01:04:44
Determine projects necessary to support growth. 01:04:48
And compute the maximum allowable impact fee based on Utah law. 01:04:52
We go through community engagement and then adoption, which you're very close to getting to. 01:04:57
So here's a summary of the community engagement. 01:05:05
That we. 01:05:08
Did during this process of impact the updates? 01:05:11
So the official public notice started kicked off the updates. 01:05:15
There was a Planning Commission meeting that we presented to the City Council workshops. The impact. 01:05:21
Vineyard Fair at 20/24/20. 01:05:29
2025 and then we coordinate with Utah Valley Home Builders Association. 01:05:32
And then flag VR. 01:05:37
The impact fees were based on. 01:05:42
The current land use. 01:05:46
Plan. 01:05:48
And so this is a summary of the drinking water projects. 01:05:51
To support new growth. 01:05:56
And then here the wastewater projects to collect the sewage and send it on its way to the wastewater treatment plant. 01:05:58
And then this is the proposed drinking water. 01:06:06
Impact fee The fee the highest. 01:06:10
Allowable. 01:06:13
Fee is 5659 and $0.82. 01:06:15
And then adjusting. 01:06:19
For bonding so that. 01:06:22
The people who pay the impact fee aren't paying on the other side when they become an existing user. 01:06:25
So this adjusts for that by year. 01:06:31
And then? 01:06:36
Just to show you compare what the existing impact fee is you actually have. 01:06:38
It's split into two areas. 01:06:43
$873 and 521 dollars. 01:06:46
The proposed is 4207. 01:06:49
Which is a dramatic increase that is more in line with what it actually costs to support new growth. 01:06:53
At which? 01:07:01
We will look at compared to other cities. Where are you at? 01:07:04
And I, I would say you're within the range. It's probably a little bit more expensive than that to support new growth. 01:07:09
And so the cities that have lower fees are? 01:07:16
Are somehow subsidizing that new growth. They either have existing capacity. 01:07:18
Umm, that is available for new growth, so they can't charge that that fee because they didn't pay for it or some other. 01:07:24
Way a reason why it's less or they've decided to subsidize new growth. 01:07:31
That you're at around the range of what it actually costs to provide storage and source for for drinking water. 01:07:36
Umm, you see the highest there? Saratoga Springs 10,000. 01:07:45
You would be at about 4207. 01:07:49
Now I'm going to go to the wastewater collection impact fee. 01:07:56
Again, the highest. 01:07:59
Fee calculated is 820. 01:08:01
And then it adjusting. 01:08:03
To make sure citizens aren't paying the impact fee and then. 01:08:06
Paying double on the other side when they become an existing user. Here's the adjustment. 01:08:11
And again, the existing area A&B there was a 539 and a 2391. The proposed is 636 for the for the whole city. 01:08:17
And justice to clarify this is? 01:08:31
This is for the collection system, so in addition to that you have a TSSD, the treatment plant. 01:08:33
Fee of 5092. 01:08:39
Added to that, so when you compare and we have collection and treatment. So when you combine your two 636 and the 5092. 01:08:43
For the treatment, your total is 5000. 01:08:52
700. 01:08:55
And 28. 01:08:56
Which again is. 01:08:58
Kind of in the middle of the road and is very close to the actual cost. 01:09:00
Which makes sense. 01:09:05
For a new city like like you. 01:09:07
Again, the older cities like you see Orem on the very top. They had the advantage of being around for a long time. 01:09:10
That makes it easier and they have. 01:09:16
Additional capacity. 01:09:20
That was paid for at a lower cost. 01:09:21
And again, you have some some that are much higher. 01:09:24
Highland Woodland Hills again. 01:09:27
They probably have reasons why their costs are higher for their unique situations. 01:09:30
So there's your comparison. You're not the highest, you're not the last. 01:09:36
So the recommendation is to adopt. 01:09:40
The fee as presented the maximum allowable by Utila. 01:09:44
Can I ask a question, will you clarify is there so with the impact fees, is it, is there a difference between a residential unit 01:09:50
versus a commercial? 01:09:56
Like how does is it per? 01:10:03
Per door or per? Yes, so. 01:10:06
Right here wastewater we call it an ER you are equivalent residential unit. 01:10:09
So, umm. 01:10:14
If you have a store. 01:10:16
That that this is wastewater. So it has a wastewater contribution that's twice as much as a typical resident in your in your city. 01:10:17
Then they would pay. 01:10:26
Two times the amount of a single resident. Does that make sense and similar? 01:10:28
To the drinking water, we call it an ERC, but it's very similar. Equivalent residential connection, same thing. 01:10:33
So if you have a store that uses 4 times as much as a typical family. 01:10:40
Single family home in the city and they would pay four times. 01:10:45
The amount as a single thing. So these costs get significantly bigger if you're building a big industrial building with or. 01:10:49
A big commercial, correct. It should be directly related to their impact. 01:10:56
So if they use more water. 01:11:03
Then they pay more for that capacity that they need. And did the other cities also measure that in the same with the ERC and the? 01:11:04
Yes. And that's why it's called ERC and ERU. That's a very typical. 01:11:12
Nomenclature for that residential. 01:11:17
Equivalency. I know when we were first going through this and talking about, uh, use we. 01:11:20
Kind of discuss the difference in housing, similar to what Marty was saying, but we talked about. 01:11:24
Multi family. 01:11:29
And how that was calculated? Yep. 01:11:31
Tell me a little bit more about. 01:11:33
Yeah, that calculation, yeah. And the multifamily is a hot topic in the state. 01:11:35
And every, every city is deciding how how to deal with that. 01:11:41
I probably have to defer to maybe nothing to. 01:11:46
To explain exactly what you've come up with. 01:11:49
Umm, that. 01:11:55
Theoretically the ERC is a single family dwelling unit and and not necessarily the multi family. 01:11:57
You want to clarify how how the city has handled multi family in the scene? 01:12:05
So in essence so. 01:12:10
The ERU ERC is kind of benchmarked off a three quarter inch meter. 01:12:12
Typical single family detached. 01:12:20
See how fan we've detached flowing? 01:12:23
We have a two quarter inch meter and then multi families that come in. 01:12:27
Typically have. 01:12:31
They'll have they can they'll their connection. 01:12:32
Size meter. 01:12:35
It will be for multiple units will be actually less than a three quarter, three quarter inch meter. So like you might have two, 2 01:12:37
units. 01:12:41
To honest on the same type of 2/4 inch meter, so that kind of bounces out that way. 01:12:45
We just sit down this this is really like 4. 01:12:50
Like it's like. 01:12:53
More unique areas. 01:12:55
More unique areas like for example like areas that have less. 01:12:58
Excuse me last. 01:13:02
Water usage, for example. 01:13:05
For example in downtown area. 01:13:08
Area where we kind of benchmark them. 01:13:10
Benchmark those types of units. These are not them. So those types of units. 01:13:14
That they would have they have a lower. 01:13:18
Water use so therefore. 01:13:22
When those come online there. 01:13:24
Categorized at a lower than a single family kind of and lower than your typical. 01:13:26
Multifamily. 01:13:32
Most multi family. 01:13:33
More has yours and so forth. So that's how, that's how we benchmark that. 01:13:36
Specifically. 01:13:41
VRC's in essence kind of like a benchmark, like for example transportation Master plan. 01:13:42
One trip ends is a single family house and then if. 01:13:47
And it goes up like based on the based on those national charts. 01:13:51
You know a hospital will have more than. 01:13:57
More than one trip, and vastly, much, much higher. 01:14:00
And then maybe a dentist office much less depending on your kids at the time. 01:14:04
But that's how we benchmark down with the multi families, I'm not mistaken. 01:14:09
The multi family. 01:14:17
Will be like. 01:14:18
Point I think. 01:14:19
.75 of a single family house. OK, that's great. Thank you. So the same as like a commercial where we're trying we upscale it. 01:14:22
Yeah. 01:14:31
NASIM is trying to be as fair as possible to to adjust the usage to an impact. OK, I wondered how that conversation was going to 01:14:33
go. I do have another question. Do we ever waive costs and tack in our tax increment financing on these types of agreements? 01:14:41
With. 01:14:50
Water. 01:14:51
Have we ever done that? 01:14:53
Is that something that's going to come back to our table? 01:14:54
Yeah, so in regards to. 01:14:56
On empathies, the times that we I wouldn't say the word way, but the times that. 01:15:01
Who provide for developers who build above and beyond what the standards are like or what their what their needs are. It's coming 01:15:06
down as a impacted credit. 01:15:10
So at about a developer, developers or such would receive. 01:15:15
Credits towards the towards the impact. 01:15:20
So. So mostly you've waived it based on credit. 01:15:23
Or you've done it based off of a formula which is the non standard free adjustment that's built in here. But we're not using this 01:15:28
in our tax increment financing investments with the RDA or anything like that. So it's not something that we need to worry about 01:15:33
inside of this agreement, right? 01:15:38
I just don't want that to be a discussion that comes back and I want this to be durable for a long time, OK. And that's how most 01:15:44
cities deal with it. They have everyone pay the impact fee because there's projects that are defined that are in it. 01:15:50
And if a developer wants to, let's say, help pay for a tank, that's in there. 01:15:57
He can help pay for that. 01:16:03
But then he pays the impact fee, but then he can get credit. 01:16:05
Were paid back for helping out with that project, so if we haven't done them in the past, we don't need to worry about it. If the 01:16:10
city does them in the future, then they'll need to add that to the agreements because we won't have that wrapped inside of here. 01:16:15
There's no waiver inside of here, so the city can never use that in the future. 01:16:20
OK, awesome. Does the public have any comments or questions on this? 01:16:25
I did, didn't I? No, I didn't. Are you done with the I'm done with the presentation. So now do your your public experience for 01:16:32
each one. OK, let's go. Let's go into the first public hearing. 01:16:37
At the same time, right. Yes, OK. 01:16:42
Do I need to open them simultaneously or just open them for the 9.3 and 9.4? OK, I move. 01:16:50
I need to go into the public hearing for. 01:16:57
9.3 do I need to yeah 9.4 and 9.4? 01:17:00
I have a first one, Marty. Can I get a second, second? 01:17:05
And a second by. 01:17:08
We all in favor, aye. OK, we're now in a public hearing. Come on up. 01:17:10
State your name, where you're from, where your questions are. 01:17:15
What to do with this? 01:17:19
Hello. 01:17:22
Put my thing on it. 01:17:24
Daria Evans been here resident. 01:17:25
Last week I was at the Planning Commission meeting learning about this and I have some additional questions. 01:17:28
But First off, before I get to those questions. 01:17:35
I don't know if I heard my answers to my questions in the public comments and I would like to have those. 01:17:39
Questions answered tonight. 01:17:45
My question about the miscellaneous. 01:17:49
Revenues, where they come from? 01:17:52
And the answer about where? Where can I find the answer to John from Orem's questions about the TC? 01:17:54
I would like those cancer tonight. 01:18:02
OK. 01:18:04
My questions about the water and wastewater master plans. 01:18:05
Continuing on from last week. 01:18:12
Have more questions? 01:18:13
Why did it take so long to complete the Water Master Plan? 01:18:15
Does Vineyard treat all developers equally with regards to impact fees? 01:18:20
Do any developers get a discount on water impact fees? 01:18:26
How will? 01:18:31
Find the water that is needed for the future. 01:18:34
What will happen when Vineyard uses the? 01:18:38
500 acre feet available. 01:18:41
The Water Master plan says Vineyard will need about 5000 more acre feet of water for future growth. 01:18:44
Where will additional drinking water come from? 01:18:52
It's difficult to find. 01:18:56
Thank you. And I would like those questions answered tonight. Thank you. 01:18:58
Any other questions? 01:19:05
All right, we'll go ahead and close out of the public hearing for both 9.3 and 9.4. 01:19:10
So moved. Thank you, Marty. Can I get a second? 01:19:16
2nd thank you Sarah. All in favor. 01:19:19
Aye, aye. 01:19:21
Alright. 01:19:23
Well, between you and Devon, we'll go ahead and answer those questions. 01:19:26
Come on up. 01:19:32
And the same. 01:19:33
This is exciting. 01:19:36
I'll attempt to answer, most of them I forget. 01:19:42
Short term memory maybe so. 01:19:47
You might have to remind me some of the questions as a. 01:19:50
As we go along, so the first question would be as to why it took so long to do the master plans. 01:19:53
And uh. 01:19:58
I take it that you're referencing from the when the last time the master plan was done in 2007. Is that correct? 01:19:59
So. 01:20:06
I'm Michael. Speaking specifically, I arrived here in 2021. We're gonna watch 2021. 01:20:10
So I won't speak specifically to when to that time gap. I can I can say based on the previous records from the previous engineers. 01:20:17
Is that the? 01:20:25
The fees the calculations were. 01:20:28
Were adjusted during the years. 01:20:31
And so. 01:20:33
The fact that the master plan wasn't done didn't mean that the fees weren't being adjusted throughout the years, especially like 01:20:35
the usages and so forth. 01:20:38
You know it. I think we discussed that. 01:20:43
Frank Commission that typically when your master plans. 01:20:47
Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but you're the master plans is. 01:20:51
They kind of lookout 3050 years out. 01:20:55
However, the master class should be updated every 10 years. 01:20:58
And then your impact is using your facilities plan should be updated about every five years and then your impact fees are being 01:21:02
updated every year such as what he presented. It was the impact fee like the annual impact fees. 01:21:08
Again, then kind of working backwards. 01:21:15
Every year the, you know, the state staff, the engineers, the planners and so forth should check. 01:21:17
The you know is the master plan. 01:21:23
Is everything going based on what the master plan? 01:21:25
And tentative answer is yes then. 01:21:28
Are the facilities that are being there on the master plan being executed accordingly? The answer is yes then. 01:21:31
Obviously that gives you. That gives us the gut check to say yes, the master plan is still valid, but then if there's. 01:21:37
Substantial changes in zoning growth, et cetera. 01:21:41
And obviously then that kind of triggers the hey, we need to revise this master plan specifically, but. 01:21:45
I can't tell you specifically as to why. 01:21:51
Master plan wasn't executed in the years past. 01:21:54
On that one. So that was the first question. 01:21:57
And I really lost track of my second question. 01:21:59
We treat all developers equally. 01:22:01
So, umm. 01:22:04
I can I'll speak out, but. 01:22:05
Specifically for my staff, my team, and of course my coworkers, the answer is yes. 01:22:09
What are you gonna do about water for the future? So I. 01:22:15
Go ahead. 01:22:20
Do any developers get a discount on water cap? 01:22:22
The developers wanted to receive a discount specifically. That's the way that again, as long as I've been here. 01:22:26
Discounts that have not been given. 01:22:33
Credits. So you receive empathy credits. So kind of like what was said before is. 01:22:35
Of a developer provides. 01:22:41
Like upfront costs to the infrastructure and so forth. 01:22:43
They can receive empathy credits typically. 01:22:48
Times developers would do that for. 01:22:50
If a certain upgrade is required for the development to happen, even though. 01:22:53
I want to say for it to happen, but for to like kind of help make a sustainable developer city. 01:22:57
I'm gonna do my share, but I'll go ahead and do your share. 01:23:03
The disease here for it as well. 01:23:06
For example, a lift station. 01:23:08
If a partial increase of a lift station is required. 01:23:10
You don't do an incremental, you typically do that. 01:23:12
And a much larger scale. 01:23:15
This days, this day may not have the funds or so forth available or it might be advantageous during construction timing. 01:23:16
The developer will go ahead and absorb all this cost and then receive credit. 01:23:23
For it. 01:23:26
And then the other one was water for the future and the costs and how are we going to obtain it? 01:23:28
Short answer is. 01:23:35
Yes, we're always looking for ways I can even give. I'll just turn over the time to Steve right here, who's more of an expert. 01:23:37
This last week that asked a question if we were going to do a more drilling. 01:23:43
Yeah. So yeah, the short answer is no. 01:23:48
So I had the longer answer with you. 01:23:50
Sorry, you're talking out of the microphone, so you're going to need to come back to the microphone if you want to clarify what 01:23:53
you were saying. 01:23:56
Last week I asked if we were going to do anymore drilling and the answer is no. 01:24:00
And so I want a shorter answer than the 1 he gave last time. 01:24:06
About where the water will come from. 01:24:11
He mentioned water rights. 01:24:14
And I want to know how we're going to have those. Where are those water rights coming from? 01:24:17
How are they going to be supplied and especially if we're going to need more than 3500 acre feet? 01:24:22
Drinking water is hard to find. 01:24:29
We live in an arid state. 01:24:32
So this is the perfect time for me to pass it over to Steve. 01:24:34
Yeah, I would say that the city is being responsible in moving forward with finding answer. 01:24:39
Maybe it's the world, but we don't. We don't know at this point in time. I'm working on on studies. 01:24:46
Paid for by the Legislature. The state legislature to figure out if we have enough water in the Great Salt Lake basin. Do we have 01:24:55
enough water for the Great Salt Lake? How do we support growth? 01:24:59
Those studies are all going very positively. 01:25:05
I'm optimistic that we will have enough drinking water. 01:25:08
To support. 01:25:12
Growth into the future. 01:25:13
As we all work together but. 01:25:15
I can say that the city is being very responsible to figuring out what are the best. 01:25:18
Ways to move forward. 01:25:24
Even though we don't have specifics at this time. 01:25:26
There's lots of options. Well, and I think for a point of clarity that I'll mention for the public is this. 01:25:29
When we say we hope we will obtain water for the future growth, what we mean is as we grow and as we are allowing planning, we are 01:25:34
always looking for water to support the growth that we're planning for, but we are not going to grow past the capacity that we can 01:25:39
obtain. 01:25:44
So there isn't going to be the fear of where we have enough water because we have growth. 01:25:49
That that we can't sustain. If we don't have the water, we won't have the growth. And that's how our codes work. 01:25:55
I'll also add in another additional thing which. 01:26:01
We phase in plans, work city that's been growing quite fast and so when we say why haven't we gotten this plan yet? 01:26:04
And it's coming in the time that we phased it in because we have so many master plans that we're working on, so many different 01:26:12
studies that we're running through and we're doing it. 01:26:17
As they prioritize and they come up to now, this must be done and this must be done and we spend. 01:26:22
The taxpayers money appropriately to make sure that we are doing it when it's needed as fast as we can do it. 01:26:28
And to, like you said, plan really well for the future. And I do dozens of master plans for cities all over the state. And I would 01:26:35
say you're in the typical range, it's typically 5 to 10 years. 01:26:40
There's some cities that do it more often. 01:26:46
Because they have changes going on. So sometimes that is appropriate, but I would say again, just like the impact. 01:26:49
You fall within the typical range. Thank you. Thank you. 01:26:55
Thank you very much. 01:26:58
Gary, I could add just a couple. 01:27:01
Additional items to that. 01:27:02
Going forward, our intention is to continue to pursue water conservation. 01:27:05
Efforts. We have specialists that are helping us develop plans for that. 01:27:10
We're working with Forum City to. 01:27:16
Utilize some of their treated water for some of our public areas and develop a plan. 01:27:19
To utilize some of that throughout the city and in public spaces. 01:27:24
We work with our. 01:27:28
Developers and just. 01:27:30
The market through Hanson, Allen, Luce. 01:27:33
To acquire water rights, whenever those pop up, people sell them from time to time. 01:27:35
And we also expect that our developers can bring water rights to the table when they have those available and that and we see that 01:27:41
happening on a pretty regular basis. 01:27:45
Lastly. 01:27:50
And I would end with that those are those are sort of the. 01:27:52
The key areas where we're working. 01:27:54
And the city has a budget. 01:27:57
That's just set aside for. 01:27:59
Acquiring water rights as those become available. 01:28:01
In the last year, we purchased probably. 01:28:04
Out of seven water rights or something like that. 01:28:08
Each right contains. 01:28:10
Multiple acre feet of water and so. 01:28:13
It is a work in progress and we try to stay ahead of the. 01:28:16
The game so that we always have sufficient for our future needs all right. 01:28:20
I need a motion. 01:28:26
Let's start with 9.3. 01:28:27
I did. I did, didn't I? 01:28:29
Do you want me to close it again? 01:28:35
Mayor, can I interrupt one last time? There was one more question that I see in 18. 01:28:37
Hand raised over there to have answered. 01:28:42
Sorry, it's a fantastic question. 01:28:46
What is what goes into miscellaneous revenues? 01:28:48
Umm, because that's not or has. 01:28:50
Doesn't have anything to do with US items. Can we do it after this? 01:28:53
OK, I, I have it saved. And another question that she asked about as well. All right, I'm going to just ask us to close the public 01:28:57
hearing again because I'm not sure. 01:29:02
You think I did? Just in case, let's do it again. OK, Marty, first make it a second. Second. Thank you, Sarah. All in favor, Aye. 01:29:08
That was for 9.3 and 9.4. All right. I need a motion for 9.3. 01:29:14
I move to adopt Ordinance 202508 Bill Wastewater Master plan as prevented. Awesome. 01:29:20
Got a first by Marty. Can I get a second, second, second by Sarah? We're going to move this. 01:29:26
Roll call. Aye, Marty. Aye. Sarah and Jake are excused 9.4 I move to adopt Ordinance 2025-09, the Water Master plan as present 01:29:32
tonight. First by Marty, Can I get a second? Second. Thanks, Sarah. All in favor. Oh no. Just kidding, Sarah. 01:29:40
Marty. 01:29:49
All right, go ahead and discuss the. 01:29:51
Miscellaneous. 01:29:54
And then As for the. 01:29:56
Question to John Barracks. What will happen is that our RDA director will take care of that, write something up and then you'll be 01:29:59
informed as we present it to the public. 01:30:02
Part of her, part of her question is she wants to know where she could find it herself. But. 01:30:08
It will be brought to City Council to the RDA meeting so it will make sure to have printed out. Do you want to even offer her a 01:30:13
copy of what he handed to you? 01:30:17
The all three memos will be attached to today's agenda as well. But specifically there was a law that he listed. So what will 01:30:21
happen is that he will go and tell, make sure that he collects what was stated in previous meetings or anything additional that 01:30:27
will add to it. 01:30:32
It will be presented in a public meeting and then I'll be on public record and you'll have it at that time. 01:30:37
OK. 01:30:42
In the minutes or it's going to be on the. 01:30:45
Yeah, that's a good question. And what I'll do is what what it will be on is the agenda packet. So just like you see it right now, 01:30:48
you'll see it then. All right, go ahead. 01:30:52
Thank you, Miss Lane. Nice revenue. I'm sure you're asking about the general fund, miscellaneous revenue? 01:30:59
The reason we have a category called miscellaneous revenue is because every once in a while we have a payment that can't go into 01:31:05
taxes or building permits or interest earned or sponsorships, rents, all of those different categories. 01:31:11
Some things that would maybe be put into there are we get a revenue share from our credit cards through Zions Bank. 01:31:18
Quarterly and so those go in there. 01:31:24
Also, if we've accidentally made a double payment to a vendor and it's in a prior year, say in May. 01:31:27
Somebody pays something with a credit card at O'Reilly Auto. 01:31:34
But then they also submit the invoice to AP and it's different than they haven't seen it come through spent clarity yet. 01:31:38
Then we would get a refund from O'Reilly, but because it's in a different fiscal year, we would put it into miscellaneous revenues 01:31:45
instead of back to the account that it was charged out of. 01:31:50
That one is less uncommon. Grandma requests. 01:31:54
We don't have a line item for grandma requests so as we started to have to charge for those. 01:31:58
Because some of them have been voluminous, that's where you would see those. 01:32:03
Anytime there's a settlement. 01:32:07
Lost settlement, a lawsuit settlement that comes to us for any reason, that's where we put it because again, we don't have. 01:32:10
So if you look at fiscal year 23, the actual was $27,000. That was because we had a settlement that was paid out to the city. 01:32:15
On fiscal year 24. 01:32:23
8851 was the actual. 01:32:25
We estimated 9972 for this year and we just put 10,000 as a government for next year. But it is, it's just really a guess because 01:32:27
it's everything that doesn't fit into another category. 01:32:32
Does that answer your question? 01:32:38
Thank you. All right, we'll move into our public hearing 9.5 consolidated fee schedule amendment Resolution 2025. 01:32:40
23. 01:32:47
And Maria will present this again. There are two things that Maria will present that will probably have to take out of the budget 01:32:49
because they are not currently on the agenda, correct. Yeah. So. 01:32:54
Removed is the Grove Park concessions. 01:33:01
That will be moved to the next meeting. 01:33:04
As well as just the Parks and Recreation Master Plan impact piece. 01:33:07
So added this time will be the Memorial Bench and the Memorial tree. The memorial Bench WE 1500 Memorial tree will be 500. 01:33:13
And that is on. 01:33:22
Page 5. 01:33:25
Next will be page 10, and that's illicit discharge and stormwater runoff. 01:33:30
That's just found in as found a state code because there's different tiers. 01:33:34
So it would just be easier to mark as a state code rather than listing out every single tier just because they're really. 01:33:39
Specific. 01:33:45
And then? 01:33:46
For business licensing, we are changing. 01:33:48
The itinerant merchant to temporary and seasonal use. Business license. 01:33:51
And then changing the name as well for the deposit as temporary and seasonal use business license refundable deposit. 01:33:56
As well as in business licensing. 01:34:03
Kelly, our business license official, noticed that we had. 01:34:05
And accidentally put. 01:34:09
Class A&B liquor license together they should be separated because they have different bond amounts so those have been separated 01:34:11
out. 01:34:14
It means just be. 01:34:17
Needed to have two separate sections. 01:34:19
And that is Class B liquor license, limited service. That's for a restaurant. 01:34:21
And that has a bond of 5000 instead of 10,000 which was compiled in that one. 01:34:25
And then Class B liquor license, full service restaurant, that's a bar that has a bigger bond of $10,000. So that's just spread 01:34:30
out. What page are you on? That is on page 11. 01:34:35
All right, making a motion to go into a public hearing. 01:34:41
Stella, thank you. Marty, can I get a second? 01:34:44
Thank you, Sarah. All in favor, aye. All right. Do you guys have any questions about this? 01:34:48
No, I feel really bad. 01:34:53
I need a motion to God of a public hearing. I'm ready. Can I get a second? 01:34:57
Second, thanks, Sarah. 01:35:01
All in favor, aye. All right, Marty. 01:35:03
What you thought about? 01:35:06
The in the packet the attachment wasn't. I don't they don't have it in red lines. 01:35:08
Yeah, I don't know what was happening this time. I kept trying to resend it to Tony and Pam and it just was not accepting the red 01:35:14
lines. 01:35:18
So when I looked at it the last time it said that it had red lines. 01:35:22
And then today when I looked at it, I realized it did not have them on there. 01:35:26
So you have a question about the red lines that were mentioned. Will you go over the first couple? I got the last few. 01:35:30
So on Page 3. 01:35:36
We are just doing the memorial bench. 01:35:39
And the memorial tree that's going to be the moral bench will be 1500. 01:35:41
Memorial Tree will be 500. 01:35:46
And then on page. 01:35:48
10 I believe. 01:35:52
Got 10. So we are adding an illicit discharge and stormwater runoff. That's the one that's found in state code because there's 01:35:53
different tiers. 01:35:57
And then for business like to sing and that goes from 10:50. 01:36:01
It's temporary and seasonal use Business license will be replacing itinerant Merchant. 01:36:06
As well as the H&R Merchant refundable deposit that's just going to change to temporary slash seasonal use. 01:36:11
Business license refundable deposit. 01:36:17
And then again for the liquor license, it used to say. 01:36:20
Class A or B liquor license. 01:36:24
Would be a $300 proof plus a $10,000 bond. 01:36:27
But the B has to be separated because there's the restaurant and bar as a differential. 01:36:31
So we have Class A by itself and then Class B liquor license limited service restaurant that's just for a restaurant that serves 01:36:36
alcohol. 01:36:40
And that's 300 plus the proof of $5000 bond. 01:36:44
And then a Class B liquor license school service restaurant that is a bar. 01:36:47
That is $300 plus proof of a $10,000 bond. 01:36:51
Yeah, that makes sense. Thank you. 01:36:56
Perfect. And then yeah, sorry about that. I'll try to see what was going on because I was not sure why it wasn't getting on there. 01:36:58
No, you're OK. Sarah, do you have any extra? 01:37:01
Question. 01:37:06
OK, I'm ready to make a motion. 01:37:09
If there's no there. 01:37:11
Let's go, all right and move. Or actually, sorry, did you want to take a turn? 01:37:12
Sarah's ready. 01:37:17
I moved to adopt Resolution 2025 Dash 23 consolidate consolidated fee schedule amendments with the exception of removing parks. 01:37:20
And recreation facilities master plan impact fees and the Grove Park concessions contract fees. 01:37:30
All right. I have a first by Sarah. Can I get a second? Second. We'll do this by roll call. Sarah. Hi, Marty. Aye. 01:37:36
Hi, Jake. And for our excuse and our meeting is adjourned. Thank you all for coming. 01:37:43
