| All right, we're going to go ahead and start the regular Vineyard City Council meeting. Today is June 11th, 2025 and the time is. | 00:00:03 | |
| 531. | 00:00:13 | |
| And we're going to start with an invocation and on the Pledge of Allegiance, and I'll go ahead and provide that. | 00:00:14 | |
| Father in Heaven, we're so grateful for this. | 00:00:20 | |
| Day and opportunity to gather together as a council and I pray that. | 00:00:22 | |
| We will be. | 00:00:27 | |

| Alright. | 00:00:38 | |
| 1 nation underground. | 00:00:43 | |
| Universal liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:52 | |
| All right. As we begin our meeting, we actually have, we're going to start out by going into a closed meeting. | 00:01:00 | |
| Umm, if one of you would like to make a motion. | 00:01:08 | |
| About what we're going into a closed meeting about for the. | 00:01:13 | |
| Public. That would be excellent. | 00:01:16 | |
| I move to go into a closed session for the discussion of the character of professional competence or physical and mental health of | 00:01:18 | |
| an individual. | 00:01:22 | |
| And is there another thing that we need to talk about, or are we? | 00:01:28 | |
| Do we say the potential? | 00:01:32 | |
| Yeah. I think it also has potential litigation and potential litigation, OK. | 00:01:34 | |
| All right, We can I get a motion? I made the motion. Thank you, Marty. Can I get a second? | 00:01:40 | |
| Second. Second by Sarah. All in favor, aye. | 00:01:46 | |
| What we're going to do is we're going to go into a processing in another room and then we'll come back in and join you again in | 00:01:50 | |
| just a little bit. | 00:01:53 | |
| All right, we're going to go ahead and. | 00:02:01 | |
| This back to order. | 00:02:02 | |
| I did want to make sure counseling. I remember you guys were aware that the. | 00:02:05 | |
| Mayor had another appointment tonight so. | 00:02:09 | |
| Before we get started, I do need to get a nomination from Mayor Pro Tem ****. | 00:02:13 | |
| I nominate Sarah Cameron. | 00:02:17 | |
| 2nd. | 00:02:20 | |
| OK, let's do a roll call, Jake. | 00:02:22 | |
| Yep, that's great for me. | 00:02:26 | |
| Aye, Marty. | 00:02:29 | |
| And Sarah, hi, Awesome. All right. | 00:02:31 | |
| I will turn the time over to you then. | 00:02:35 | |
| So you can just start with. We're in the already. | 00:02:53 | |
| We're going to do the RDA meeting. | 00:02:58 | |
| No, I still had it going through it. | 00:03:00 | |
| We were going to finish the City Council. | 00:03:03 | |
| Yeah, yeah, for a 3.1. | 00:03:08 | |
| Correct. I have us at 3.1 the fraud risk assessment presentation. | 00:03:27 | |
| No, you're good. | 00:03:35 | |
| I'll take over from there. Thanks, Sarah. | 00:03:38 | |
| Once a year, each municipality is required to do a fraud risk assessment and present it to council as part of part of their annual | 00:03:43 | |
| audit. | 00:03:47 | |
| And so that was included in your packet. | 00:03:53 | |
| We are once again in the low category, which is a good place to be low fraud risk. | 00:03:55 | |
| And so we just had to report that to the Council as. | 00:04:00 | |
| But there's no vote. I don't believe that has to take place. It's just a matter of informational. | 00:04:04 | |
| Do you have any questions? | 00:04:09 | |
| When you do this and report it back to us, is this also something that goes to the state? | 00:04:13 | |
| It is. It's a report that we have to upload to the state auditor's website and also provide to our independent auditor who comes | 00:04:18 | |
| in and does our audit. | 00:04:22 | |
| OK. So maybe can you clarify for the public what? | 00:04:27 | |
| What that entails exactly? | 00:04:32 | |
| A big part of it is making sure that within the finance department we have separation of duties. | 00:04:34 | |
| Because obviously we deal with public funds and we want to make sure that someone doesn't have access to bring them in and send | 00:04:40 | |
| them out. | 00:04:43 | |
| And so a lot of that has to do with that. That's the main point, is making sure their separation of duty. It's also making sure | 00:04:46 | |
| that we have written policies that have been approved by council. | 00:04:51 | |
| And we have to have both on record. | 00:04:57 | |
| Done by ordinance so that we have those. | 00:04:59 | |
| It really is just a great reminder of the things that we need to be doing and working on. | 00:05:01 | |
| It asks one of the questions is that do we have our fraud hotline, which we do, and they can do the info at Vayner, Utah, you | 00:05:06 | |
| know? | 00:05:10 | |
| So it's just a lot of questions related to. | 00:05:14 | |
| Risk for fraud Risk in the city. | 00:05:19 | |
| OK, excellent. Does anyone have any question? | 00:05:23 | |
| No, OK. Thanks, Christy. | 00:05:27 | |
| So now we'll go to the work session 4.1. | 00:05:30 | |
| Sorry, were we asking? So if we had any questions? Yeah, I did. Sorry. | 00:05:34 | |
| Didn't pause long enough I guess. | 00:05:39 | |
| Hey Christy, is this the state mandated annual fraud risk assessment we just fill out as a checklist of of things that are in | 00:05:41 | |
| place? Yes, it is. | 00:05:46 | |
| OK, it's not the state auditors. | 00:05:52 | |
| The other stuff. | 00:05:55 | |
| No, we, we supply this to the state auditors website as well as to our independent auditor as part of our audit process. | 00:05:57 | |
| But yeah, that this is just the annual reporting requirement that usually happens towards the end of the fiscal year. | 00:06:05 | |
| OK, all right, let's say that all cities do this. OK, right. It's a mandatory requirement. | 00:06:12 | |
| Yeah. | 00:06:18 | |
| That's all I have. | 00:06:21 | |
| Thanks. OK, perfect. Any other questions? | 00:06:22 | |
| No. OK, so now we're going to a work session 4.1. | 00:06:27 | |
| Budget discussion. | 00:06:31 | |
| As far as the budget discussion, we were just going to. | 00:06:40 | |
| Provide a reminder to. | 00:06:43 | |
| That on the 25th of this month we are approving the final budget. | 00:06:47 | |
| For FY20 6. | 00:06:52 | |
| And to remind council and Oregon the public. | 00:06:55 | |
| That we have this time. | 00:06:59 | |
| To review and make sure that we've addressed any last questions or concerns or. | 00:07:02 | |
| Edits that are requested. I know that Marty supplied a few of those and we're. | 00:07:07 | |
| Working through those as well. | 00:07:11 | |
| As providing understanding on what each of the elements of the budget. | 00:07:13 | |
| Meant so if there are lingering questions, be sure to shoot us an e-mail that can go to Christy or myself. | 00:07:18 | |
| And we'll make sure that we get responses back to you in a timely fashion before that meeting on the 25th, OK? | 00:07:23 | |
| Perfect. | 00:07:30 | |
| OK, any questions from the Council? | 00:07:31 | |
| No, no pause for J. | 00:07:35 | |
| Our public comments and. | 00:07:41 | |
| Coming up next. | 00:07:42 | |
| OK, so now we're. | 00:07:44 | |
| Going to public comments. | 00:07:46 | |
| Tony has a comment that was submitted to be read. | 00:07:49 | |
| Yes, at the beginning. | 00:07:52 | |
| Yes, I've got a message from Tyler Harrelson. | 00:07:54 | |
| And I'm just going to go ahead and read that into the record now. That's Tony. Yeah. Would we go into? | 00:07:58 | |
| Couple tournament session. | 00:08:04 | |
| We open that up officially. | 00:08:05 | |
| It's not a public hearing, so we're there. | 00:08:08 | |
| Let's see, OK, I'd like to make a high level comment regarding the council making budgetary decisions. | 00:08:15 | |
| As you Council members are looking at projects both during budget decisions and in the future. | 00:08:22 | |
| Please take extra consideration of the replacement and ongoing maintenance costs of new infrastructure. | 00:08:27 | |
| The group Strong Towns have some good material about what they call the growth Ponzi scheme. | 00:08:32 | |
| If you haven't read about it, I'd encourage you to look it up. | 00:08:37 | |
| They outline how many American cities in the past have grown quickly but failed to properly consider maintenance costs. | 00:08:40 | |
| Causing them to take on a great deal of debt and get into financial dire straits decades later. | 00:08:45 | |
| To give an anecdote close to home, I know a gentleman who has done some landscaping for various clientele, including American Fork | 00:08:50 | |
| City, where he lives and grew up. | 00:08:55 | |
| He posted a little video of this time last year outlining an issue he called Polka dot Lawn. | 00:08:59 | |
| At one of their parks which had been there since he was a kid 40 plus years ago. | 00:09:04 | |
| He showed a substantial section of the park covered in lots of crunchy yellow grass. | 00:09:08 | |
| With patches or polka dots of green. | 00:09:12 | |
| Explained that the sprinkler heads or water pressure likely had an issue. | 00:09:15 | |
| And needed to be fixed. The sprinklers were not spraying far enough. | 00:09:18 | |
| So only a few little patches of grass were green. He then explained that he'd reported many issues like this before, but he'd | 00:09:22 | |
| report this. But they'll probably say. | 00:09:26 | |
| Yeah, we know. We don't have the resources. I'm not in a rich city. | 00:09:31 | |
| They scrounge a lot for what we get. American Fork decades ago made the mistake Stronger Towns outlines in their growth Ponzi | 00:09:34 | |
| scheme material. | 00:09:38 | |
| As clearly evidenced by this part. | 00:09:42 | |
| As my acquaintance said, they don't have the money to maintain it and fix the issues. This is likely because the decision makers. | 00:09:44 | |
| Did not pay close enough attention to the ongoing maintenance. | 00:09:51 | |
| And replacing the cost of the park infrastructure and likely of other projects such as roads. | 00:09:54 | |
| Sewer systems etc. | 00:09:58 | |
| Another quick anecdote, if you've ever heard of lead poisoning from the water pipes in Flint, MI. | 00:10:00 | |
| That was also caused by lack of funding for ongoing maintenance of infrastructure. | 00:10:06 | |
| A much more consequential example than a yellow grass though. | 00:10:11 | |
| Vineyard is a relatively young city by comparison, and I'd like for us to learn from my financial mistakes. | 00:10:14 | |
| Of those cities who came before us. | 00:10:19 | |
| We can give the next generation a better future by being careful about the maintenance costs. | 00:10:21 | |
| We leave them to handle. | 00:10:26 | |
| As a last note about this, I'd like to also recommend you focus on actual tax and fee dollars. | 00:10:27 | |
| Paying for the infrastructure, Many industry professionals will recommend a Rd. widening. | 00:10:33 | |
| As they predicted, saving thousands of people 15 seconds of time each day on their evening commute. | 00:10:37 | |
| Multiplying that time by a multiplier of dollars per hour. | 00:10:43 | |
| This is nice, but we cannot pay for a Rd. widening with saved 15 second increments of time. | 00:10:46 | |
| We must pay with actual dollars. | 00:10:51 | |
| We must also maintain the road using actual dollars. | 00:10:53 | |
| Same thing for increased jobs. We do not have an income tax in Vineyard. | 00:10:57 | |
| So we can't pay for infrastructure with more jobs. | 00:11:00 | |
| That is all my comments today. Thank you for your time and for your public service. | 00:11:03 | |
| Tony, was that book called The Growth Ponzi Scheme? | 00:11:11 | |
| He said it was from a group called Strong Towns and they have a material that they titled the Growth Ponzi scheme. | 00:11:16 | |
| OK. | 00:11:24 | |
| OK anyone that wants to speak in the public comments. | 00:11:29 | |
| Please come forward. I'm getting that set up too. Is there a time limit you'd like to set? | 00:11:36 | |
| Depending on I mean normally we have two to three minutes, but. | 00:11:42 | |
| Just yeah, whatever is normal. There's not very many. How many have want to speak? | 00:11:46 | |
| 123 so 3 minutes I guess. | 00:11:52 | |
| Maximum OK. | 00:11:55 | |
| Thank you. | 00:11:57 | |
| Daria Evans Villas resident, Thank you very much for this opportunity to speak. | 00:11:58 | |
| I just want to give out to shout out for Vineyard Days. It was a success. I couldn't believe how many children were. | 00:12:04 | |
| All over where we were, we were doing the duck pond and milk toss. It was a lot of fun, but it was crazy. | 00:12:11 | |
| It was good and senior pickleball is fun. Thank you. We've got it going. We even did a PSA today. Did you hear about that? Hannah | 00:12:17 | |
| was taking a video. I hope it doesn't go. | 00:12:21 | |
| Got viral? | 00:12:27 | |
| I just have a couple of questions. I was wondering if you know why there is a plywood wall around the Vineyard Frontrunner | 00:12:31 | |
| station? | 00:12:34 | |
| I've been wondering that for a while. | 00:12:38 | |
| I'd like to know if you know what is happening with the Momentum climbing gym. Is it still coming coming? | 00:12:40 | |
| And, umm. | 00:12:48 | |
| What is the estimation completion date of the reconstruction at Vineyard Loop and Main St. | 00:12:51 | |
| And. | 00:12:57 | |
| At last City Council meeting, Mr. Ellis said we have acquired 7 water shares from developers. I would like to know how many acre | 00:12:58 | |
| feet of water that is. Thank you very much. | 00:13:03 | |
| Perfect. Thank you. | 00:13:11 | |
| So I asked the mayor. | 00:13:13 | |
| Do we ever just answer questions right after they are asked? And she said she used to do that. | 00:13:15 | |
| So is it OK if we do that? | 00:13:21 | |
| Yeah. | 00:13:24 | |
| OK, so I was wondering about the plywood too. Does anyone know about that? | 00:13:27 | |
| OK. Yeah, to answer the three different questions, the plywood wall. | 00:13:31 | |
| Is intended to provide marketing space for Utah City as new. | 00:13:37 | |
| Projects are coming along, The intention is for them to. | 00:13:42 | |
| Cover those in. | 00:13:46 | |
| In upcoming projects to be as informative about what they're up to in the downtown as they can be. | 00:13:48 | |
| As far as momentum. | 00:13:54 | |
| There is a pause on the momentum, as far as we understand. | 00:13:57 | |
| As they consider their options and their strategic plan going forward, so. | 00:14:01 | |
| We don't have a. | 00:14:08 | |
| A date to expect that. | 00:14:09 | |
| At this point in time. | 00:14:12 | |
| As far as the road. | 00:14:14 | |
| The estimated is part of our. | 00:14:15 | |
| Monthly report but the. | 00:14:18 | |
| June this month, we anticipate then completing that project. Are we still on track for that? | 00:14:20 | |
| June 22nd. | 00:14:27 | |
| Yeah, they're getting close. It's very nice. | 00:14:30 | |
| OK. And then did you want to talk about the water shares at all? | 00:14:33 | |
| Or we can talk about it after. We could grab that in a little bit each, each water share. | 00:14:44 | |
| Is different from each other and so we'll just have to tally up the acre feet that we're. | 00:14:49 | |
| That account for those shares that we were able to purchase. | 00:14:54 | |
| OK, perfect. Thank you. | 00:14:58 | |
| OK. Anyone else? | 00:15:00 | |
| Hi, my name is Keith Vincent. I also live in the villas. | 00:15:08 | |
| I I would like to ask rhetorically, how many of you actually looked at the line item? | 00:15:12 | |
| On the on the budget. | 00:15:17 | |
| Each of the different departments have several line items in the accounts. | 00:15:18 | |
| It was rhetorical, but just. | 00:15:22 | |
| Wanted to see if you're actually looking at those. | 00:15:24 | |
| Most. | 00:15:27 | |
| Most individuals and businesses. | 00:15:29 | |
| Budget by. | 00:15:32 | |
| Knowing how much their income is and then. | 00:15:34 | |
| Allocating that income to specific expenses. | 00:15:38 | |
| Successful individuals and businesses. | 00:15:41 | |
| Also budget to have savings and surplus. | 00:15:45 | |
| Most governments don't do it, they do it backwards. | 00:15:49 | |
| They spend what they're going to spend and then try to figure out how to raise taxes or debt. | 00:15:53 | |
| To cover those expenses. | 00:15:57 | |
| I would encourage you to not only. | 00:16:00 | |
| Look at the line items to see if they're one. | 00:16:02 | |
| Necessary. | 00:16:06 | |
| Required. | 00:16:07 | |
| And to what benefit we get from the city? | 00:16:08 | |
| For those for those line item expenses. | 00:16:11 | |
| For example, one of the line items is the City Hall, which I understand has now been put on hold. | 00:16:15 | |
| So is that going to come out of the budget or will that? | 00:16:21 | |
| $1,000,000 Stay in the budget and then be eligible to be spent. | 00:16:23 | |
| Somewhere else because you can allocate. | 00:16:27 | |
| Line items and move the. | 00:16:30 | |
| The things The other thing is that some of the funds are. | 00:16:32 | |
| Budgeting deficits and therefore transferring. | 00:16:36 | |
| Funds from other funds transferring money from other funds to cover deficits. | 00:16:39 | |
| Again. | 00:16:45 | |
| That's probably not best practices, so I just encourage you to to. | 00:16:47 | |
| The buck stops with you guys, right? | 00:16:51 | |
| You're the one ultimately responsible for our budget, and so I just encourage you to. | 00:16:54 | |
| Take a look at the line items and see are they necessary and required. | 00:16:59 | |
| And what benefit does the city get from them? Thank you. | 00:17:02 | |
| Thank you. Right, absolutely. | 00:17:06 | |
| Before, I just want to speak to that a little bit because before I. | 00:17:09 | |
| Start in this seat. | 00:17:14 | |
| I I would compare. | 00:17:17 | |
| I would try to compare my budget with a government budget. | 00:17:19 | |
| And going through the budget season last. | 00:17:23 | |
| Year was very eye opening. | 00:17:25 | |
| Christy, can you explain the maximum and the minimum the city's allowed? | 00:17:28 | |
| To save. | 00:17:33 | |
| And I think you told me. | 00:17:34 | |
| A few years ago we were over the maximum threshold and so you have to do things. | 00:17:36 | |
| Otherwise it shows the state that you're collecting more taxes than what you actually need, and that is not a great thing. | 00:17:41 | |
| Can you explain that a little bit so it makes sense? | 00:17:48 | |
| So the state requires and we're talking the general funds here. | 00:17:50 | |
| You can have between you have to have at least 5% and up to 35% of unrestricted funds. | 00:17:54 | |
| So it's like BNC Rd. funds, those are restricted for certain things. So those are not included. | 00:18:02 | |
| I'm just to give you an idea. Yes, last year we did have to make a transfer the two years before that. | 00:18:08 | |
| They didn't make the transfer. So we were over the 35% and that was Mark that was marked down in our audit. | 00:18:14 | |
| But last year they did get that transfer made into the capital projects fund, which is very common that for cities. | 00:18:20 | |
| Move on, sign this one. They're looking forward to future projects. | 00:18:25 | |
| Right now, currently with the budget that is set the way it is, we are going to start the year and end the year with 27%. | 00:18:29 | |
| So we feel really good about that number. | 00:18:37 | |
| Yeah, that's my understanding. Is that ideal? That's the ideal spot that a city wants to be in. | 00:18:40 | |
| Right, OK. | 00:18:46 | |
| Thank you. Appreciate that and thank you for your comment. | 00:18:47 | |
| OK, anyone? | 00:18:50 | |
| I came to talk to the RDA board but. | 00:18:55 | |
| There's a public comment period, so I will take that public comment period now. | 00:18:57 | |
| My first question is, is whether the Vineyard City fraud assessment of low. | 00:19:01 | |
| Is accurate? Does. | 00:19:06 | |
| I'm wondering if anyone on the council has direct or indirect knowledge of whether that fraud assessment is accurate or not. | 00:19:09 | |
| As a CPA, I think that that's important. | 00:19:15 | |
| And because you have a joint consolidated financial statement between the City of Vineyard and the RDA, I'm wondering if it | 00:19:18 | |
| applies to the RDA as well. | 00:19:22 | |
| My next question is. | 00:19:26 | |
| Does Vineyard Cities? | 00:19:28 | |
| Does Vineyard City and or the RDA send out legal analysis without being reviewed by the city attorney? | 00:19:30 | |
| That's my question. | 00:19:37 | |
| I would love an answer to that. | 00:19:39 | |
| If not. | 00:19:41 | |
| Does the Vineyard City and or RDA send out legal analysis without being reviewed by the city attorney? | 00:19:43 | |
| If so, that's highly unlikely unusual. | 00:19:50 | |
| Now. | 00:19:54 | |
| I received, I sent an e-mail to the board and I appreciate the board's response through one of your officers. | 00:19:56 | |
| Last week regarding what I came to talk to you about last time, which is T 2901. | 00:20:03 | |
| Which requires the RDA board. | 00:20:08 | |
| The taxing entity committee to meet in any year in which tax increment is given out, and I appreciate the response. | 00:20:10 | |
| I'm a little troubled by the response though, the legal analysis and the response. | 00:20:16 | |
| In that response, which was sent out in the packet also for today's meeting. | 00:20:20 | |
| Umm, but subsequently changed because I'm quite certain we're going to see a different legal analysis presented to you tonight | 00:20:26 | |
| than the one in the packet. I would ask you, as City Council and RDA board members to ask why that legal analysis changed. | 00:20:32 | |
| And I'm going to explain to you why it changed. | 00:20:38 | |
| So, but you can ask that question for yourself. | 00:20:40 | |
| There were four cases cited. CT versus Johnson, Jensen, Intermountain Healthcare. | 00:20:43 | |
| Hebrew, Lauren. | 00:20:48 | |
| Power, light and power versus Wasatch County and Grappendorf versus Pleasant Grove. | 00:20:49 | |
| Two of those cases that were cited do not actually exist in Utah case law, as was in the legal analysis. | 00:20:54 | |
| That's highly unusual. | 00:21:01 | |
| And the other two cases, there were actually direct quotes from those legal from those cases that do not exist in those case. | 00:21:02 | |
| OK, umm. | 00:21:09 | |
| Now I I disagree with the response of the legal memo, not in addition, in addition to the hallucinations. | 00:21:10 | |
| The clause. | 00:21:17 | |
| That I quoted last time was not mere super *****. It wasn't superlative. | 00:21:19 | |
| Or informal preference. | 00:21:25 | |
| The TC. | 00:21:27 | |
| Under Utah code 17C14024B, which authorizes TCS to cast votes that are binding on all taxing entities and to approve and | 00:21:28 | |
| disapprove project area plans, among other things, and among other things, allows them to demand to meet annually because to | 00:21:35 | |
| protect taxpayer funds. | 00:21:41 | |
| Now, the reason your legal analysis changed is because I tipped off. | 00:21:48 | |
| A reporter in the state of Utah. | 00:21:53 | |
| Regarding the legal analysis, which is faulty and in a recent case. | 00:21:55 | |
| In a recent case. | 00:22:00 | |
| Which? | 00:22:01 | |
| Garner versus Candace, 20/25/80. | 00:22:02 | |
| If I could, I just have one more, one more statement and then I'll be done, OK. | 00:22:09 | |
| In this Utah appellate course this year, Garner's attorney provided stake. | 00:22:13 | |
| Legal citations to the court. | 00:22:18 | |
| And was sanctioned. | 00:22:20 | |
| He had he was required to pay portions of the opposing party's legal fees and to reimburse his own client for fees for drafting a | 00:22:21 | |
| fake petition. | 00:22:25 | |
| And had to fund money into a charitable legal fund. | 00:22:28 | |
| I'm wondering what the consequences of vineyards sending out hallucinated and fake legal advice is. Thank you for your time, I'd | 00:22:32 | |
| love answers to those and I'll be happy to stay as long as necessary. | 00:22:37 | |
| So before the mayor left, she said. | 00:22:42 | |
| Keep your questions, write them all down. | 00:22:47 | |
| And we'll have a special RDA meeting where all of those questions can be addressed. | 00:22:50 | |
| It. | 00:22:57 | |
| Well, I think it's really important, right? Nobody wants to see anything done. | 00:23:01 | |
| Not in a transparent way. Definitely not in an illegal way. | 00:23:06 | |
| I'm Jamie, do you have any? | 00:23:10 | |
| Response that you want to John wants to follow up and send me. | 00:23:12 | |
| Whatever document it is that you think. | 00:23:16 | |
| Includes this. | 00:23:19 | |
| Last week. | 00:23:21 | |
| So I can answer some of the questions. | 00:23:23 | |
| And you're, you're thought you're referring to the memo from the RDA director with information on this? | 00:23:26 | |
| Oh, I'll take a look at it. | 00:23:33 | |
| I'm not out. | 00:23:35 | |
| Oh, right, sorry, you're not a microphone now, but. | 00:23:36 | |
| We are going to still do an RDA meeting after a regular council meeting, right? We just bumped it to the end instead of you. OK, | 00:23:41 | |
| let's just put a pause on that and we will continue that at the RDA meeting. | 00:23:46 | |
| Claudia Larae, just a quick question. | 00:23:53 | |
| Do we plan for? | 00:23:56 | |
| What the gentleman who sent in the letter said about. | 00:23:59 | |
| Oh my gosh. | 00:24:04 | |
| Infrastructure. | 00:24:06 | |
| Maintenance. That's it. Maintenance. | 00:24:08 | |
| Do we have a plan to, is it in the budget? Is that something we have? And I would. | 00:24:11 | |
| You know, encourage us to make sure we have one. | 00:24:19 | |
| You know our, our splash pad, all the all the parks really will take a hammer in and that's great. We love them being used. | 00:24:23 | |
| But let's make sure we don't fall into. | 00:24:31 | |
| Thank you. Just making sure. | 00:24:34 | |
| Agreed. I think one of the benefits of Vineyard is that we're very small. | 00:24:37 | |
| American fork is big and they have so many parts. | 00:24:41 | |
| I don't think I don't foresee that being a problem here. | 00:24:45 | |
| Because we're only four square miles. | 00:24:48 | |
| At completion, even downtown but. | 00:24:50 | |
| Yeah, priority, right. Agreed. Thank you, Karen Cornelius Bill is resident. | 00:24:53 | |
| Yes, we're small. | 00:24:59 | |
| Well, we have a ton of people and we're adding more, and that's a concern for me, but that's another topic. | 00:25:01 | |
| With our RDA. | 00:25:06 | |
| I probably know just enough to be dangerous, but I have a concern. | 00:25:08 | |
| And that is with the school district split, we will now only have 4 cities. | 00:25:13 | |
| Who are involved in the Vineyard RDA? | 00:25:18 | |
| Our taxes, our school taxes are extremely high because of the money diverted from the RDA to the developments. | 00:25:22 | |
| Now we will be sharing that with only four cities, not all the cities that we are currently sharing that with. | 00:25:31 | |
| Who are all a part of the Alpine School District. | 00:25:38 | |
| That scares me to death for the citizens of Vineyard. | 00:25:41 | |
| Whose school tax rate? | 00:25:45 | |
| Will increase astronomically because we are no longer sharing that deficit with other cities. | 00:25:47 | |
| So I hope that we can look at our RDA and do whatever we need to do. | 00:25:53 | |
| To make it equitable that we can still afford to live here. | 00:25:58 | |
| Thank you. | 00:26:01 | |
| Thank you. Yeah. | 00:26:03 | |
| And thank you Karen for your comment. There is a lot that goes into the school district split, but one thing to keep in mind. | 00:26:06 | |
| Is with the split we have. | 00:26:14 | |
| Besides funding and expenses, it also splits up the responsibility. There's a smaller area that we're covering. | 00:26:18 | |
| And then in addition with the RDA. | 00:26:24 | |
| Just for some fundamental. | 00:26:26 | |
| Perspective from my opinion. | 00:26:29 | |
| It is. | 00:26:31 | |
| Land that would have been limited in value that has already increased with the RDA so. | 00:26:33 | |
| A great example that Josh brought to us before and we could probably talk more about this during the meeting. | 00:26:40 | |
| But it was in the. | 00:26:45 | |
| $2000 a year property tax payment to the school district. | 00:26:47 | |
| 1213 years ago and now they're making 41,000 a year from that same area of land. | 00:26:52 | |
| And we're still reinvesting 75% of that property tax. | 00:26:57 | |
| So we're increasing our value and that's just for a business area. | 00:27:01 | |
| Of property taxes that doesn't include the residential areas. | 00:27:06 | |
| So there is a lot of financial benefit and I have spoken with Alpine School District, I have spoken previously with members of | 00:27:09 | |
| Orem City Council and so far I've had nothing but encouragement and support and excitement for the development and growth of | 00:27:15 | |
| Vineyard. | 00:27:22 | |
| And that they see Vineyard as a long term investment. | 00:27:28 | |
| We've had nothing but support from all the other cities in our meetings with the inter local. | 00:27:32 | |
| With the four cities so. | 00:27:37 | |
| It's actually been very positive. | 00:27:39 | |
| And they're aware of our growing needs as well. | 00:27:41 | |
| OK, well, and and the point too. Yeah, we. | 00:27:45 | |
| We have. | 00:27:48 | |
| People. Umm. | 00:27:50 | |
| Or 4 cities. | 00:27:51 | |
| Right, that take on the school district. | 00:27:52 | |
| But we also don't carry the burden of Eagle Mountain and Lehigh, and all those bears cut me off. | 00:27:55 | |
| It's all good. | 00:28:01 | |
| OK. | 00:28:02 | |
| And answer to his questions, they're going to be answering yes. | 00:28:05 | |
| I wasn't. | 00:28:12 | |
| About you said there's going to be another RDA meeting to answer his questions, not the one tonight, OK? | 00:28:13 | |
| No, tonight. Tonight. | 00:28:19 | |
| Yes, we are going to do just a full RDA meeting focused on nothing but answering all of these questions. Yes, but not tonight. We | 00:28:21 | |
| will do the normal Rd. We will do a normal RDA meeting tonight right after this, but not answering his questions. | 00:28:30 | |
| We will answer, but if there's more, we'll have another meeting. | 00:28:38 | |
| OK, All right. Anyone else? | 00:28:44 | |
| No, OK. | 00:28:48 | |
| Now do I we make a motion to go out of the public. | 00:28:50 | |
| Oh, public comments. | 00:28:55 | |
| OK, umm. | 00:28:57 | |
| OK. | 00:28:58 | |
| Now it's time for. | 00:29:00 | |
| Council members reports. | 00:29:03 | |
| Can you get spread? Jake, you want to go first. | 00:29:09 | |
| Yeah. I would just like to ask this question of the public because in our last meeting. | 00:29:15 | |
| When we were talking about the RDA extension and. | 00:29:23 | |
| Vineyard City and us running the bill. | 00:29:27 | |
| To the legislature to extend the RDA. Umm. | 00:29:31 | |
| An additional 25 years. | 00:29:36 | |
| And then putting that into conjunction with Josh's memo today in this meeting where? | 00:29:39 | |
| He is citing that the RDA has no cat. | 00:29:45 | |
| On the collection. | 00:29:49 | |
| So. | 00:29:52 | |
| It's not 300 million that in Josh's memo, he's saying that it's there's no cap to it. | 00:29:53 | |
| So if we if. | 00:29:59 | |
| 1st 18 months we've been told that there isn't there is a cap. | 00:30:02 | |
| But in the memo today, it says that there isn't. | 00:30:07 | |
| So if we if that bill really did extend an additional 25 years? | 00:30:11 | |
| Then we did actually give them hundreds of millions of dollars more, is that? | 00:30:18 | |
| That's my first question. And then #2 in the second meeting, in the meeting it was planned for was. | 00:30:25 | |
| Disclose that we were not hiring Mr. Hartley or Sage. | 00:30:32 | |
| Solutions to be the. | 00:30:37 | |
| Lobbyists to run the bill. | 00:30:39 | |
| However, in the Ledger it does show payments in 2019. | 00:30:42 | |
| And I don't really trust the media sometimes, but it was reported that he was the one that answered the questions. | 00:30:48 | |
| So it was assumed that he worked on the bill. | 00:30:54 | |
| And there are payments. | 00:30:58 | |
| Was he, did he in fact run the bill and did we hire him to do that? Those are my 2 questions. | 00:31:01 | |
| I have more on my report but those are my. | 00:31:10 | |
| Right. Those are OK. Did did you get those, Josh? | 00:31:13 | |
| Talk about those. | 00:31:18 | |
| At the RDA meeting. | 00:31:19 | |
| Did you have like? | 00:31:22 | |
| Anything else you wanted to talk about like more? | 00:31:23 | |
| Report related. | 00:31:27 | |
| You know, if I don't have, I don't have any reports. | 00:31:30 | |
| All right, Brett. | 00:31:34 | |
| What I wanted? | 00:31:39 | |
| Is that how great I think the city's been in responding to? | 00:31:41 | |
| It just in the last meeting. | 00:31:46 | |
| Where I wasn't able to attend that we were able to pass lowering the speed limit in Leshema not. | 00:31:48 | |
| As a citizen had raised that a lot of concerns over there and just how quickly that happened. | 00:31:55 | |
| I I had. | 00:32:01 | |
| It was one of the first times I've been through anything like that. | 00:32:03 | |
| And, umm. | 00:32:06 | |
| And I had set an expectation that was going to take a lot longer. | 00:32:09 | |
| And that the city could. | 00:32:12 | |
| Respond to all of the demand. | 00:32:15 | |
| And make it happen so quickly was really amazing and. | 00:32:19 | |
| And I just think it's a testament to what happens when we work together. | 00:32:22 | |
| And listen to the demands of our citizens. | 00:32:26 | |
| Love that. Thank you. That was that's been my experience too. | 00:32:30 | |
| Marty. | 00:32:34 | |
| Brett, did you want to talk about how amazing been your days was too? | 00:32:37 | |
| Vineyard Day was amazing. | 00:32:42 | |
| I'd love to thank staff is awesome. | 00:32:46 | |
| Thank you so much for all your hard work. I know that's a big week. | 00:32:49 | |
| I also wanted to report that the Interlocal meetings have been going well. | 00:32:53 | |
| We've all been working really well together at the four different cities. We're all really excited. | 00:32:58 | |
| To see how the school board seats pan out. I know that Vineyard specifically, I think has five. | 00:33:03 | |
| Candidate. Is it four or five candidates? I think 5 for our school board seat. That's the majority. | 00:33:09 | |
| I don't know, I shouldn't say statistics that I don't have verification on but. | 00:33:16 | |
| It's a mostly vineyard area with a little bit of Orem in it. | 00:33:20 | |
| And I know that the rest of the board seats and most of them have primary elections with several. | 00:33:24 | |
| Several candidates. | 00:33:31 | |
| I also wanted to say that our economic development meetings have been going well. | 00:33:33 | |
| We seem to be. | 00:33:40 | |
| The grocery store is still on schedule from everything that I missed the last time. | 00:33:42 | |
| At the grocery store song schedule Huntsman still ahead of schedule. | 00:33:47 | |
| And. | 00:33:51 | |
| Just a lot of excitement in that area. | 00:33:53 | |
| I think that was all I wanted to report. | 00:33:56 | |
| OK, excellent. | 00:33:59 | |
| Thank you. | 00:34:00 | |
| I just had a couple things. | 00:34:03 | |
| Because I took my grandmother out to the splash pad. | 00:34:06 | |
| And those shape cells made it so that the. | 00:34:09 | |
| Playground wasn't so hot so. | 00:34:12 | |
| I know I complained a little bit about them because they're so expensive, but. | 00:34:15 | |
| They're really, really nice, so well done. | 00:34:18 | |
| And I got invited to a last minute girls trip this weekend so I missed Vineyard days and I was so sad. | 00:34:22 | |
| But I heard about all the old fashioned. | 00:34:28 | |
| Games that that were played and I love that so much. We were in Nephi for 11 years. Enough. | 00:34:30 | |
| That's just how they did things there. And it's it's just. | 00:34:36 | |
| Umm, I just think it's good for the younger generation to get a little taste of that instead of, you know, the big. | 00:34:41 | |
| Carnival thing. Anyway, I love that so. | 00:34:47 | |
| I just wanted to say that and thank you to all of the work that that staff did put it on and make it excellent and for the | 00:34:50 | |
| beautiful part we got to have it in. | 00:34:54 | |
| Volunteers and volunteer, sorry. Yes. And volunteers, right? Yes, absolutely. Thank you so much to all of you who made it, really. | 00:34:58 | |
| Really fun, you know, I couldn't hear. | 00:35:06 | |
| OK. All right. | 00:35:08 | |
| Now we're moving on to consent items. | 00:35:11 | |
| Oh, sorry, stop. | 00:35:15 | |
| Staff and committee reports are. | 00:35:16 | |
| Yes. So I just wanted to. | 00:35:19 | |
| Wrap up one other question, the Water shares question. | 00:35:22 | |
| That represents approximately 101.5 acre feet of water. | 00:35:26 | |
| One OK, Thank you. | 00:35:31 | |
| Again, each different type of. | 00:35:33 | |
| Might have a different value of acre feet. These are the seven that we purchased were lake bottom irrigation canal. | 00:35:36 | |
| Shares and those ones are worth. | 00:35:42 | |
| About 14.5 acre feet per share. | 00:35:45 | |
| Do you think I'm in cups of water? | 00:35:49 | |
| I know quite a large number. | 00:35:52 | |
| OK, so I wanted to give a monthly report. | 00:35:55 | |
| For the city and. | 00:35:58 | |
| As always, it is quite a large report, 13 pages, so I would encourage everyone to review it. | 00:36:00 | |
| But I'll just hit on a couple of the highlights. | 00:36:07 | |
| All of our departments during the summer seem to be working. | 00:36:10 | |
| On hyper mode. | 00:36:14 | |
| So I'll just highlight some things they from our rec department. | 00:36:16 | |
| They hosted 229 soccer games. | 00:36:21 | |
| They formed 32 teams for youth baseball and found 66 coaches to. | 00:36:24 | |
| Keep them under under close watch and and performance. | 00:36:30 | |
| They have they formed 8 teams for youth street hockey which just started. | 00:36:35 | |
| I saw it on the way over. | 00:36:40 | |
| You know, and 16 coaches were required for that and they were able to find those five teams for tennis and pickleball leagues with | 00:36:42 | |
| 61 persistence. | 00:36:47 | |
| Our Parks Department has been working around the clock to conduct a whole bunch of different maintenance. | 00:36:53 | |
| Type activities making sure that the splash pads are working. | 00:37:01 | |
| They passed the health inspection for the for the splash pad. | 00:37:05 | |
| And then have just been going down a bullet list of items to make sure that everything is under. | 00:37:09 | |
| Under good repair. | 00:37:15 | |
| Uh, you mentioned that the shade sales were up and that's a really exciting thing to have in our parks right now with these hot | 00:37:20 | |
| days that we're having. | 00:37:23 | |
| We received 2. | 00:37:28 | |
| Donated memorial benches through the program that Brian's team is running. | 00:37:30 | |
| Which is really exciting to see that program coming up. | 00:37:35 | |
| So that we can get these beautiful benches placed around the city. | 00:37:38 | |
| Grove Park basketball and tennis courts were both resurfaced, and that was one of the. | 00:37:42 | |
| Nice things about taking our tennis court again and park offline for a little while to do the hockey. | 00:37:48 | |
| Is that we have these beautiful resurfaced courts for folks that that. | 00:37:55 | |
| Our tennis players. | 00:37:59 | |
| To go while the while the hockey is underway. | 00:38:01 | |
| As far as? | 00:38:06 | |
| Division summaries from streets and stormwater we were able to develop. | 00:38:08 | |
| This answers one of the questions that was brought up earlier. | 00:38:13 | |
| We developed a 10 year pavement preservation and maintenance plans provide. | 00:38:16 | |
| Provided by our consultant. | 00:38:21 | |
| That will be accompanied with a transportation utility fee study. | 00:38:23 | |
| And so we'll be working on that over the next few months and then present that. | 00:38:27 | |
| But the purpose behind that is to avoid the problem that was raised by the. | 00:38:31 | |
| Written. | 00:38:36 | |
| Make sure that we have sufficient funding to stay on top of those needs so that. | 00:38:37 | |
| Maintenance on our roads is as inexpensive as possible. | 00:38:42 | |
| They are absolutely correct in that if we wait. | 00:38:46 | |
| 15 to 20 years before we look at our roads again. | 00:38:49 | |
| We pay the highest dollar per mile. | 00:38:52 | |
| If we take care of it as it's needed. | 00:38:56 | |
| That is. | 00:38:58 | |
| Pennies on the dollar for maintenance. | 00:38:59 | |
| Yeah, this thing did a really great presentation that locked itself into my mind so. | 00:39:02 | |
| The value of. | 00:39:07 | |
| OK, Yeah. | 00:39:09 | |
| The Public Works Department so awarded a Springs TI pond concrete lining. | 00:39:12 | |
| Project. | 00:39:18 | |
| So if anyone's been wondering why the Pi Pond is a little bit low, it's so that that maintenance can be taken, taken care of and | 00:39:19 | |
| that'll start this month. | 00:39:23 | |
| On Main Street and the road repair that was brought up, it will be completed. | 00:39:27 | |
| Towards the end of the month. | 00:39:32 | |
| Grounds and facilities. One big project that we're looking at is working with forestry, fire and state lands. | 00:39:36 | |
| To maintain our shoreline and so the city staff was able to work with them. | 00:39:43 | |
| And get permits to go down and perform annual tree and overgrowth maintenance along the shoreline. | 00:39:48 | |
| And it's really nice to get that done so that that makes that area much more usable area. | 00:39:55 | |
| From our engineering department. | 00:40:02 | |
| That transportation master plan has been reviewed by staff and then they're switching gears into that working. | 00:40:06 | |
| Working on the impact. | 00:40:14 | |
| Reassessment study. | 00:40:16 | |
| As far as projects, we're continuing to. | 00:40:18 | |
| Do the planning. This question was raised as well. | 00:40:22 | |
| We're continuing to do the planning on the Vineyard Center. | 00:40:25 | |
| We would like to see that. | 00:40:28 | |
| Of those plans be completed so that we have a package ready. | 00:40:30 | |
| The need for added space isn't going away, and so the timing of that will. | 00:40:34 | |
| Will be what we. | 00:40:39 | |
| Focus on, I suppose at some at some point. | 00:40:42 | |
| But for now, we want to make sure that we get those plans completed and. | 00:40:45 | |
| And. | 00:40:48 | |
| Make sure that the community is aware. | 00:40:49 | |
| What those needs are, what the solutions are and provide? | 00:40:52 | |
| That to the community in a timely fashion. | 00:40:56 | |
| The water tank. | 00:41:00 | |
| Is essentially complete. They're running the final tests on that and they expect to have that up and running. | 00:41:02 | |
| They've done water water tests, they've filled it up. | 00:41:09 | |
| And they're just making sure that they've got any of the little leaks here and there. | 00:41:12 | |
| That were expected, all patched up and ready to be used. | 00:41:17 | |
| In July. | 00:41:21 | |
| Trail enhancements so the city met with Orem City. | 00:41:24 | |
| And UDOT to review the final plans and costs. | 00:41:28 | |
| For the 400 S and Center St. | 00:41:31 | |
| Fixes. | 00:41:35 | |
| And also as part of that, they requested additional funding through MAG to help complete that project. | 00:41:36 | |
| The Vineyard Connector Bridge is under construction, as many of you have seen. | 00:41:43 | |
| And that started on May 20th. | 00:41:47 | |
| And I don't know that we have a completion date yet, but. | 00:41:50 | |
| Watch for that as things start to happen and go over the road there. | 00:41:54 | |
| From our community development team. | 00:42:02 | |
| The Wayfinding and Design The Wayfinding design consultants are currently finalizing the design concepts for the. | 00:42:04 | |
| Wayfinding and mill Rd. design. | 00:42:11 | |
| They will present those. | 00:42:14 | |
| Both plans to the city. | 00:42:17 | |
| Starting in June, So we should be seeing drafts of those plans here shortly. | 00:42:20 | |
| The lakefront grant. So a few years ago, the county. | 00:42:26 | |
| Provided. | 00:42:31 | |
| Vineyard City with a. | 00:42:32 | |
| Three and Change $1,000,000 grant. | 00:42:34 | |
| The the county approved for the city to use those. | 00:42:38 | |
| Funds to go towards block 6, which is the. | 00:42:42 | |
| The block out nearest to the lake. | 00:42:46 | |
| And so we're excited to see that work go forward. | 00:42:48 | |
| Does that start this summer? | 00:42:54 | |
| It does start this summer, yes, that's exciting. | 00:42:55 | |
| I like to report every time we get new businesses in the city and it seems to be every month. | 00:42:59 | |
| This month we have two new commercial businesses and two new home occupation businesses that came into the city. | 00:43:05 | |
| Can you tell us what? | 00:43:14 | |
| What they are, we have Mountain Pure LLC, a commercial entity. | 00:43:16 | |
| Intermountain Health. | 00:43:21 | |
| Vineyard Clinic. | 00:43:24 | |
| And then we have something called M4 Dynamic in Clover Lane LLC as the two home occupations. | 00:43:27 | |
| Thanks. | 00:43:33 | |
| As far as residential, this is. | 00:43:38 | |
| Maybe interesting more to me than anyone else, but. | 00:43:40 | |
| But our total units occupied and vineyard are now 5646 units. | 00:43:43 | |
| With an estimated population of 22,055. | 00:43:48 | |
| This month we had three residential unit. | 00:43:52 | |
| Certificate of Occupancy is issued, so those are. | 00:43:57 | |
| All three for single family homes. | 00:43:59 | |
| And throughout the month. | 00:44:02 | |
| Our inspection team, our building team was very busy. I think this is a higher number than last month. | 00:44:04 | |
| There were 806 total inspections. | 00:44:09 | |
| Which breaks down to 38.38 inspections per day for the team. | 00:44:12 | |
| So if they're not in the office, you know that they are out. | 00:44:18 | |
| Working hard trying to get those all completed. | 00:44:22 | |
| With that, I'll complete my report. | 00:44:24 | |
| Excellent. Thank you. That's. | 00:44:27 | |
| A lot it. | 00:44:29 | |
| It's amazing to me. | 00:44:30 | |
| You know you live in a city. | 00:44:32 | |
| I'm 55 now, sorry. | 00:44:34 | |
| You live in all these cities. | 00:44:36 | |
| And it's hard to comprehend all of the working pieces. | 00:44:37 | |
| That make it so nice you know and take for granted. | 00:44:41 | |
| All the people that work to keep it nice and make it nice. So thank you very much. | 00:44:44 | |
| OK, so now we. | 00:44:53 | |
| Move to consent. | 00:44:56 | |
| Items is. | 00:44:59 | |
| Does anyone have any question? | 00:45:01 | |
| About the consent items. | 00:45:03 | |
| Yeah, Should I make a motion to remove once we can discuss it or? | 00:45:06 | |
| Is that? | 00:45:11 | |
| I just want to. I just wanted to get a little the only one on here that I feel like. | 00:45:12 | |
| We should have some kind of public comment on is the. | 00:45:17 | |
| Water supply agreement. | 00:45:20 | |
| Just bad I think. I feel like the others we've discussed previously publicly. | 00:45:22 | |
| But that one. | 00:45:26 | |
| I personally haven't reviewed it, don't think that there's anything. | 00:45:27 | |
| Do we need to worry about in there? I just feel like it would be nice if we could. | 00:45:32 | |
| Talk about it a little bit. | 00:45:36 | |
| I agree with that. You want to discuss it now, or you want to pull it off to do a work session on another? | 00:45:38 | |
| To me, it's more about making sure that everybody understands what it actually. | 00:45:45 | |
| OK. So I think typically what we would do is we would approve the remaining items and then we would. | 00:45:50 | |
| Discuss that that one 8.5. | 00:45:55 | |
| As a separate item. | 00:45:58 | |
| OK, so. | 00:45:59 | |
| I can make a motion to approve 8.18.28.3 and 8.4 as presented. | 00:46:02 | |
| OK, second. | 00:46:11 | |
| And this will be done by Roco. | 00:46:13 | |
| Yes. | 00:46:18 | |
| So. | 00:46:19 | |
| OK, party. | 00:46:22 | |
| Hi, Jake. | 00:46:24 | |
| Aye, Brett. | 00:46:27 | |
| Aye. | 00:46:30 | |
| Sarah. | 00:46:31 | |
| I OK. | 00:46:35 | |
| All right, so now we talk about it. | 00:46:38 | |
| OK, umm. | 00:46:40 | |
| So did you have questions you want to leave out, Brett? So, so to me the question was for for staff, if they could just give an | 00:46:42 | |
| overview of what of. | 00:46:46 | |
| What it is? | 00:46:51 | |
| And then? | 00:46:52 | |
| If we have questions based on that, I think that would be great. | 00:46:53 | |
| So this is a water supply agreement between central UT Water Conservancy District and Vindner City. | 00:46:57 | |
| And short. | 00:47:06 | |
| Continues to. | 00:47:08 | |
| Excuse me, this is this execution disagreement as a critical component of the cities original commitment. | 00:47:10 | |
| To Central Utah water. | 00:47:16 | |
| And part of our commitments. | 00:47:18 | |
| We constructed 6,000,000 gallon water tank to house our own water. | 00:47:20 | |
| Previously we've been using. We've been. | 00:47:25 | |
| Housing the water in central Utah waters. | 00:47:28 | |
| System as well as civil war system this is going. | 00:47:31 | |
| The 6,000,000 can you hear me? | 00:47:35 | |
| This is going to get. | 00:47:39 | |
| Feedback. So yeah, that's probably my new glasses. | 00:47:40 | |
| Right there I gotta shut them off so. | 00:47:44 | |
| There's 6,000,000 gallon or tank up. | 00:47:48 | |
| Allows us to store the water with. What this will do is commitment. For us. It's a multi agency commitment. Central retail water | 00:47:50 | |
| is also one. | 00:47:55 | |
| To transfer the water. | 00:48:00 | |
| 1500 acre feet of water. | 00:48:02 | |
| From City of Orem into to Central Utah Water Conservancy District, Central Utah Water Conservative District will supply that 1500 | 00:48:04 | |
| acre feet of water. | 00:48:09 | |
| To Veneer City in addition to the other acre. | 00:48:14 | |
| Of water, that Central Utah water that we purchased from Central UT Water. | 00:48:17 | |
| Our conservative district. | 00:48:21 | |
| In order to house into our in order to house into our 6,000,000 gallon water tech. | 00:48:22 | |
| So this agreement here is an agreement formalizing. | 00:48:28 | |
| Those transfers of those water acre feet of water just from the city for. | 00:48:32 | |
| Into the central Utah water system to provide us To provide us. | 00:48:37 | |
| So the agreement summarized the annual allocation of 1500 acre feet. | 00:48:45 | |
| Of CWP is the Central Water project. | 00:48:50 | |
| And it has phase takedowns as Jones Exhibit A. | 00:48:55 | |
| The storage talks about the part of the agreement talks about the storage. | 00:49:00 | |
| Of umm. | 00:49:05 | |
| Storing it Storing 6,000,000 gallons of water. | 00:49:07 | |
| And to winner cities. | 00:49:10 | |
| Tank and with 2,000,000 gallons of permanent storage. | 00:49:12 | |
| In central Utah water system. | 00:49:18 | |
| That you know in gallons. | 00:49:20 | |
| In essence, provides for. | 00:49:22 | |
| Of fireflow surgery. | 00:49:26 | |
| So in the case of a park, a fireflow. | 00:49:27 | |
| Or other or other. | 00:49:30 | |
| I'll say like almost inconsistencies were allowed to really utilize our water. So that's that agreement. | 00:49:31 | |
| This agreement formalizes that. | 00:49:37 | |
| It does put down some parameters. | 00:49:39 | |
| In terms of using it, those parameters are mainly to ensure that central Utah water. | 00:49:41 | |
| The rate of water that we take from central water is within certain parameters, so they don't see a big spike of water. | 00:49:47 | |
| The math from the earth because they supply other customers as well. | 00:49:55 | |
| So it just kind of outlines this parameters. | 00:50:00 | |
| And. | 00:50:04 | |
| The term is perpetual. That means still down the time. | 00:50:06 | |
| And for sure, as long as we as we pay. | 00:50:10 | |
| For as we're paying for the water. | 00:50:13 | |
| It outlines the fee structure at one time development fee charge. | 00:50:16 | |
| So this outlines the 1500 gallons of water. | 00:50:20 | |
| 1500 acre free water that we're taking in from from from Orem City to central Utah water. | 00:50:23 | |
| Typically just we talked about is impact these what they call takedown fees. | 00:50:28 | |
| Set this formalizes the Central Utah water will not be charging those takedown fees or impact fees to Vinger cities since we've | 00:50:33 | |
| already paid that to to OM City. | 00:50:37 | |
| So which is good because. | 00:50:41 | |
| We're not going to be billed twice. | 00:50:44 | |
| So that formalizes that view. But however, in the future water, we would have any takedown fees for future water, which again we | 00:50:46 | |
| pass along to the developers, they were the ones who would be demanding those. | 00:50:52 | |
| Are requiring that making us utilize those. There we go. | 00:50:58 | |
| It talks about annual fees, O&M components and capital recovery components in essence. | 00:51:04 | |
| Kind of putting us on the same page as. | 00:51:09 | |
| As the other customers on Central Utah water system. | 00:51:12 | |
| And nothing different than what we've already been doing with Central retail water. | 00:51:15 | |
| And then of course, it talks about the surcharges on exceeding the contract. | 00:51:21 | |
| We talked about the 2,000,000 gallons that they currently have and permanent supply of inner city that if we go outside those | 00:51:25 | |
| boundaries they do have the right. | 00:51:29 | |
| To charge for inner city is like a one time over it just like you're just like a Internet. | 00:51:34 | |
| You go, you go over your allocation, they hit you with a fee on that. So is this, you know, good faith? | 00:51:40 | |
| On that, we actually ran some modeling recently with our. | 00:51:46 | |
| And. | 00:51:50 | |
| You know where we work things to ensure that we stay with them that so even in the case utilize it 2,000,000 gallons, we have a | 00:51:52 | |
| system in place to ensure that we're not going to be charged over charges as well so. | 00:51:57 | |
| It's just formalizes that agreement. | 00:52:04 | |
| And it fulfills the key obligation. | 00:52:08 | |
| Between the Parkinson's of inner city central Utah water as well as with the City Hall as well on that. | 00:52:13 | |
| So in short, that's disagreement that notional. | 00:52:19 | |
| Questions, right? | 00:52:23 | |
| OK. | 00:52:27 | |
| Council, do you have any questions? The only question I had. | 00:52:30 | |
| Are they answered? Which was how are we protecting ourselves from over this? | 00:52:34 | |
| OK. Jake, you have any questions? | 00:52:40 | |
| No, I have any questions. OK, Marty. | 00:52:45 | |
| No, OK. So we're good to approve it. | 00:52:48 | |
| Yeah, but do you want to make a motion? | 00:52:51 | |
| I move to adopt resolution 202530. | 00:52:56 | |
| What's that? | 00:53:01 | |
| To approve an adult. | 00:53:03 | |
| Sorry, what was I? | 00:53:06 | |
| To move, to approve and adopt. | 00:53:08 | |
| Consent item 8.5 as presented. | 00:53:11 | |
| I'll second. | 00:53:14 | |
| Perfect. This will be done by roll call. | 00:53:16 | |
| Take aye. | 00:53:18 | |
| Brett. | 00:53:22 | |
| Ready, Hi. | 00:53:24 | |
| Aye. | 00:53:26 | |
| OK, let's see. | 00:53:30 | |
| Now we move to business items. | 00:53:33 | |
| So 10.1 discussion and action in your zoning code update. | 00:53:37 | |
| So this is the. | 00:53:46 | |
| The long. | 00:53:47 | |
| Project that Cash and the development team have been working on and have held meetings with each of the council members. | 00:53:49 | |
| It is a long list of tweaks here and there to improve the code, bring it up statute, and so forth. | 00:53:56 | |
| And so if there's any specific questions, we could field those. Otherwise I think it's something that the Council is quite. | 00:54:02 | |
| Comfortable with or familiar with I should say. | 00:54:08 | |
| Yeah, I I love that they the goal was to simplify the language, I think. | 00:54:12 | |
| Cash has done a really good job. | 00:54:16 | |
| Going through it. | 00:54:18 | |
| Are there any questions from the Council? | 00:54:19 | |
| Marty. | 00:54:22 | |
| Just to clarify since the last time you spoke. | 00:54:26 | |
| There hasn't been any major changes. I know that there was some discussion talking about. I know Mayor said she had questions. | 00:54:29 | |
| Do you know if any changes have been made in that area? | 00:54:37 | |
| I'm not aware of any changes since we we went through the points. | 00:54:39 | |
| I think that the mayor probably was looking for clarification on some of the. | 00:54:44 | |
| The items that were being discussed. | 00:54:48 | |
| A part of that was my request. I wanted to look at some of the changes that related to short term rentals. | 00:54:51 | |
| And make sure that they. | 00:54:57 | |
| Were enforceable. I had some conversations with cash and uncomfortable. | 00:54:59 | |
| What's in here? | 00:55:03 | |
| OK. | 00:55:04 | |
| Brett, no, I've had enough reviews with cash to feel comfortable with where we are. | 00:55:07 | |
| OK, take. | 00:55:13 | |
| Kath, were there any changes between when I spoke with you and Kelly and between? | 00:55:15 | |
| You and Jamie that I should know about. He's in New Zealand. | 00:55:21 | |
| Yeah, again. | 00:55:27 | |
| No changes that I'm aware of, Jamie. I'm not aware of any changes. | 00:55:29 | |
| OK, there's no density or anything like that. It's just vocabulary stuff that we went through cleaning up the code stuff. | 00:55:33 | |
| Well, I know that there are some significant changes. | 00:55:41 | |
| In here but I. | 00:55:44 | |
| But we went through them all last time. | 00:55:46 | |
| And I I personally feel comfortable with it. | 00:55:49 | |
| Umm, it's just. | 00:55:53 | |
| As I've been going through this again, it's always hard to know. We see the red and the green, but. | 00:55:56 | |
| Did the red and the green change? Yeah. So to answer Councilmember Holloway's question. | 00:56:01 | |
| Since there are substantive changes in. | 00:56:07 | |
| The code updates. | 00:56:11 | |
| There have not been changes to the substance since the last. | 00:56:14 | |
| Council meeting. | 00:56:18 | |
| Right. That's what I meant to say. Thank you. | 00:56:21 | |
| I'm good with it. | 00:56:25 | |
| OK, perfect. | 00:56:26 | |
| Let's see. So I need a motion. | 00:56:29 | |
| To approve this right. | 00:56:33 | |
| OK. | 00:56:35 | |
| Somebody want to make a motion? | 00:56:36 | |
| I move to adopt Ordinance 2025. | 00:56:41 | |
| 03 Zoning text amendment as presented. | 00:56:43 | |
| 2nd. | 00:56:48 | |
| OK, I. | 00:56:54 | |
| Oh, all in favor. | 00:56:56 | |
| Hi. | 00:56:58 | |
| Hi. And then it was pretty. | 00:57:00 | |
| Quick and we got everybody's but as an ordinance too, can we also do that one as a roll call just to. | 00:57:03 | |
| Yeah. OK. All right. By roll call, Jake. | 00:57:10 | |
| Aye, Brett, hi. | 00:57:15 | |
| Marty, hi. | 00:57:18 | |
| I am I supposed to say my name? | 00:57:20 | |
| OK. All right. | 00:57:25 | |
| Let's see. | 00:57:27 | |
| And this one is hearing. | 00:57:30 | |
| You will want to motion engineer now. | 00:57:32 | |
| OK, so does someone. | 00:57:36 | |
| We I make a motion, you can ask someone to you can someone want to make a motion to go into a public hearing for the consolidated | 00:57:37 | |
| fee schedule amendment? | 00:57:42 | |
| So moved. | 00:57:46 | |
| 2nd. | 00:57:48 | |
| OK, we are now, oh sorry, all in favor. | 00:57:50 | |
| Hi. Hi. | 00:57:53 | |
| Yeah, I. | 00:58:00 | |
| OK, I just have. | 00:58:03 | |
| Couple quick ones, um. | 00:58:05 | |
| On page #4. | 00:58:09 | |
| This is just for the concessions, so we have the Grove Park concessions, food truck contracts. | 00:58:11 | |
| For non city events. | 00:58:16 | |
| That will be $500 per month. | 00:58:19 | |
| The Grove Park concession semi permanent structure contract for non city events is $1000 per month. | 00:58:21 | |
| And then the Grove Park concessions contract late fee, that's $25. | 00:58:27 | |
| And then on page. | 00:58:36 | |
| 15 I believe. | 00:58:39 | |
| Correct, Page 15 we're doing the. | 00:58:43 | |
| Parks and Recreations. | 00:58:46 | |
| Impact fees. | 00:58:48 | |
| And that is 3422 or $3422.88 per household. | 00:58:50 | |
| And then there's that stipulation that household as defined by the US Census Bureau. | 00:58:56 | |
| And that is it. | 00:59:02 | |
| OK. Does anyone have any questions? | 00:59:06 | |
| OK. Does the public have any questions? | 00:59:12 | |
| OK, sorry. | 00:59:17 | |
| Thanks, Maria. | 00:59:19 | |
| I I. | 00:59:21 | |
| Daria Evans. | 00:59:29 | |
| Vineyard resident. | 00:59:31 | |
| I have some questions about the transportation utility fee. | 00:59:33 | |
| It's not on this. It's not on this. It's in the consolidated fee schedule. It says transportation utility fee. | 00:59:40 | |
| So we do have that in the consolidated fee schedule currently, but we're not charging it. | 00:59:49 | |
| That's from previously, we just haven't done any updates, right? That's why I have some questions about. | 00:59:55 | |
| OK, It was adopted in March of 2015. | 01:00:00 | |
| And as I was reading through Utah Gov it says it has expired during ten years. | 01:00:04 | |
| So now we have to have a new study. Is this correct? You kind of mentioned something about that. | 01:00:10 | |
| OK. | 01:00:16 | |
| And so we'll need to. | 01:00:17 | |
| Restart that process. | 01:00:19 | |
| Before we can impose a new test. | 01:00:21 | |
| Right now it was set for $3.50 a month. | 01:00:24 | |
| And I'm wondering if. | 01:00:28 | |
| That fee is going to go up after the study is completed. | 01:00:30 | |
| And I'm wondering if. | 01:00:34 | |
| The maintenance of effort. | 01:00:38 | |
| That implementing a tough allows. | 01:00:41 | |
| The city will provide new services. | 01:00:44 | |
| Other than just regular Rd. maintenance. But we cannot impose a tough unless it will provide new services. | 01:00:48 | |
| For our roads. | 01:00:54 | |
| Side Beyond new sidewalks. | 01:00:56 | |
| According to Utah Gov. That's what it says. | 01:00:59 | |
| So I'm just curious about that. | 01:01:02 | |
| I can bring it up with you. | 01:01:06 | |
| I think that's a great question, Daria. You could probably stay up here because that's what we discussed after the public hearing | 01:01:08 | |
| or can we discuss now? | 01:01:12 | |
| Sorry, I didn't mean to take over. | 01:01:17 | |
| I wasn't sure if that was a statement or a question. I'm asking you when the best time to answer Darius questions during the | 01:01:19 | |
| public hearing or after we close it. | 01:01:25 | |
| Probably best after OK. | 01:01:33 | |
| But I'll be ready for it, OK? | 01:01:36 | |
| Amnesty. | 01:01:38 | |
| OK. Any other questions from the public? | 01:01:40 | |
| OK. So we need a motion to go out of the public hearing. I move to go out of the public hearing. | 01:01:44 | |
| 2nd. | 01:01:50 | |
| This is. Wait, is this done by Roko? | 01:01:52 | |
| No, that's the resolution. No, just an upper down. All in favor. | 01:01:56 | |
| Aye. | 01:02:02 | |
| Oh oh. | 01:02:03 | |
| Before you go into vote, are you going to take off the transportation? | 01:02:07 | |
| Fee schedule, I mean that tough fee before you vote on it. | 01:02:10 | |
| Because. | 01:02:15 | |
| It has expired. | 01:02:16 | |
| And if it's listed on there, it sounds like you're approving. | 01:02:18 | |
| The tough, the tough was. | 01:02:21 | |
| Was cancelled. | 01:02:25 | |
| In January of 2020. | 01:02:26 | |
| No, it expires in 10 years. It was implemented in 2015 and it goes for 10 years. So it expired in March of this year. I hear what | 01:02:29 | |
| you're saying. | 01:02:34 | |
| The tough was cancelled by the City Council in on January 1st of 2020 and has not been charged since then. | 01:02:38 | |
| So it currently is not charged. | 01:02:46 | |
| Part of the transportation utility or transportation master plan. | 01:02:48 | |
| And transportation utility fee study. | 01:02:52 | |
| Is to explore that and that will come to. | 01:02:55 | |
| The Council and to the public at a future meeting. | 01:02:59 | |
| OK, so then we will not. | 01:03:02 | |
| With the approval of this consent item. | 01:03:04 | |
| That transportation fee will not. | 01:03:06 | |
| It won't be reimplemented or anything, no. | 01:03:09 | |
| OK. Thank you very much. Thank you for that clarification. | 01:03:11 | |
| OK. | 01:03:17 | |
| OK. | 01:03:20 | |
| OK, so. | 01:03:23 | |
| Is there any discussion? | 01:03:25 | |
| On this from the Council. | 01:03:26 | |
| Brett Phaneuf Nothing for me. | 01:03:30 | |
| Marty. | 01:03:32 | |
| OK. | 01:03:34 | |
| OK. | 01:03:37 | |
| So we need a motion to adopt Resolution 2025-29, consolidated. | 01:03:38 | |
| Schedule amendment as presented. | 01:03:44 | |
| So moved. | 01:03:51 | |
| 2nd. | 01:03:53 | |
| OK, this needs to be done. This needs to be done by roll call. | 01:03:54 | |
| Marty. | 01:03:58 | |
| Hi, Brett. Hi, Jake. | 01:03:59 | |
| Aye, aye. | 01:04:03 | |
| OK. I think that's it. | 01:04:06 | |
| Yeah, OK, so the City Council meeting is adjourned. | 01:04:10 | |
| Minutes, a couple minutes so I can do everything. So a 10 minute recess and then we'll start our 8th RDA meeting. | 01:04:18 | |
| Tony, do I just stay in here? | 01:04:27 | |
| OK. | 01:04:30 |
