All right. Welcome This evening, today is August. 00:00:01
20/6/2025, and the time is. 00:00:13
6:00 We're going to go ahead and start our special session of the City Council. 00:00:17
We'll start with our Pledge of Allegiance and invocation by council members. 00:00:22
And woman. 00:00:26
Dear Father in heaven, we come ready at the beginning of this meeting and. 00:00:30
Ask for Thy Spirit be with us, that Thou will guide us and direct us in all that we do and all that we stay. 00:00:34
Will you pray that that will help us to strive? 00:00:39
Bring peace and harmony into our city and. 00:00:42
We are so grateful for all the people. 00:00:45
That work here, and their integrity and their hard work and. 00:00:47
Other things that they do to make our city beautiful and. 00:00:51
Take good care of us and take good care of it. 00:00:54
We are grateful for. 00:00:57
My guidance and inspiration and all we do and pray that to be with us again. We say these things in the sacred name of Jesus 00:01:01
Christ, Amen. 00:01:04
Amen. All right. 00:01:08
The United States of America. 00:01:10
And to the Republic for which it stands. 00:01:18
One nation under God. 00:01:21
With liberty and justice for all. 00:01:23
All right, we'll go ahead and start out with some presentations. 00:01:30
To get the Council a little bit. 00:01:34
Up to date on some of the. 00:01:35
Things. 00:01:37
Staff and city are working on. 00:01:38
Let's start with our Vineyard City utility billing policy and procedure. 00:01:40
Manual Maria is going to present that to us. 00:01:44
Yeah, so. 00:01:48
Really this is just a couple things that we wanted to highlight we've. 00:01:49
Um, worked on doing some updates I've kind of gone through. 00:01:53
Our normal procedure. 00:01:57
And in doing that, I wanted to create a policy manual just for anybody coming in later on. 00:01:59
Or if anybody ever has any questions so. 00:02:04
As long with that. 00:02:07
I've added some new updates. 00:02:08
That I kind of just wanted to prevent to everybody. 00:02:10
For the most part, it's all going to be pretty standard. The new things that we've added is. 00:02:15
For late payments or late fees. 00:02:19
Normally how it was done, it was one late fee waived. 00:02:23
Per account, per the time that the account has been opened. 00:02:27
After talking to. 00:02:31
Our accountant and treasurer, we decided to give that a little change. 00:02:33
So we'll now be able to get one waive late fee per year per account. 00:02:36
Along with that. 00:02:41
We have added. 00:02:43
A payment plan option. 00:02:47
So if there are people going through any type of financial hardship. 00:02:48
There is an option for them to get a payment plan. It's a three month payment plan. 00:02:52
But it's something that has to be approved by the utility billing department. 00:02:56
Along with. 00:03:00
That week, take into consideration things such as. 00:03:01
Payment history. 00:03:04
As well as financial hardship, things like that. 00:03:07
And that's just supposed to make easier increase for some reason somebody does have. 00:03:09
A default on their bill. We don't want to try to shut people off. That's not something we ever want to do. 00:03:13
So we want to give options to people to try to maintain their accounts in good standing. 00:03:17
That's pretty much it for the most part. Like I said, most of it's going to be pretty straightforward. 00:03:22
Along with that. 00:03:26
We are going to do an increase that also discussed later on in the consolidated fee schedule update. 00:03:28
For the utility application fee. 00:03:33
We're wanting to update from 20 to 25. 00:03:35
And that's just to cover the fact that we're going to start doing those wavelength fees every year. 00:03:38
But that also does get. 00:03:42
Waived. The application fee does get waived. 00:03:45
If the applicant chooses to sign up for direct payments through the city. 00:03:49
That's pretty much it. 00:03:54
Any questions? 00:03:56
OK. There is no action on this tonight. Thank you and thank you for accounting for. 00:03:59
The good work that you do to help people. 00:04:03
Kind of stay in those plans and. 00:04:06
Putting it into our formal policies, yes. 00:04:08
Thanks, Maria, And. 00:04:12
You will have another update for us, Yeah, with the Neighborhood Services update. 00:04:13
So for that I also do neighborhood services. 00:04:17
I am the coordinator for Neighborhood Services. 00:04:21
And I just want to do a little update over a couple things. 00:04:23
So far this year I've met with several of the 20 management companies. 00:04:26
I have attended a couple HOA board meetings. 00:04:30
But it's something I'm trying to do. 00:04:33
Is not only to meet with the management companies, but as well as the board. So if there are any people who are here who would 00:04:35
like me to attend their board meetings. 00:04:38
You can always reach out. 00:04:42
Or have your HOA management reach out to me. 00:04:43
Um, I have also created a city events newsletter for the HOA's as well as the apartments. 00:04:47
And this is just to highlight our major events. 00:04:52
Just because for the most part. 00:04:55
Most people in HOA's and apartments don't get the city newsletter because they're not on our. 00:04:56
Utility billing. 00:05:01
They're all done through a master account. 00:05:02
So this is sent out to the H20 management companies and they disperse it to their own tenants. 00:05:05
The beginning of this year and this is something I will continue to do. 00:05:09
I have met with the developers of all the open lands or have reached out to them through e-mail. 00:05:13
And discussed landscaping maintenance schedules as well as. 00:05:18
Expectations for how we want them to maintain their areas. 00:05:22
As well as just following up continuously with most of them. 00:05:26
Currently. Right now. 00:05:31
I am working towards getting certified as a Property Maintenance and Housing inspector. 00:05:33
That will later lead to me potentially getting certified as a Code enforcement officer. 00:05:37
That is kind of going with the next thing. 00:05:42
Which is basically over the last. 00:05:45
Year to year and. 00:05:47
Cash and I. 00:05:49
The senior planner cash. 00:05:51
Pansy have been developing a rental program. 00:05:52
This would require all property owners who have rentals. 00:05:55
To obtain a business license. 00:05:59
This program aims to improve. 00:06:01
Property maintenance as well as help with things such as occupancy. 00:06:03
Parking, we are working on the final details of that. 00:06:08
And that's something that we're hoping to bring to council in the next couple months. 00:06:11
But that's pretty much. 00:06:15
That's great. You were mentioning that you were. 00:06:17
Attending the HLA. 00:06:20
Groups meetings themselves. 00:06:23
How has it been with the quarterly meetings? 00:06:25
Having them come to us, have they been attending? 00:06:27
Those ones are always going to be hard to get attendance for just because they. 00:06:30
I'll have different schedules. It's very hard to get on, so that's why I've kind of tried to. 00:06:33
Geared towards doing one on ones with management. 00:06:37
And then trying to. 00:06:40
Introduce myself and invite myself to their board meetings as often as I can and I do encourage people to let me know when their 00:06:41
board meetings are. 00:06:45
I love that. 00:06:48
Something I would recommend I. 00:06:49
I found this to be really helpful. And maybe if we can't get attendance at the quarterlies, we do an annual and we invite. 00:06:51
Our shared. 00:06:59
Opportunities within like with the tag program or. 00:07:01
Are recycling our trash programs and we make sure. 00:07:05
That may be our Sheriff's Office comes in. 00:07:08
Coordinates any problems that. 00:07:10
Jurisdictions. 00:07:12
Yeah, I can definitely do that. 00:07:14
That would be wonderful. 00:07:16
Any other questions or comments? 00:07:17
OK. Thank you so much. Thank you. 00:07:20
Look forward to hearing more about the stuff you've been working on. 00:07:23
All right, Chris Thomas, come on up. You're going to talk to us about. 00:07:26
Pavement Preservation. 00:07:30
This is. 00:07:33
I'm sorry to see that your arm is hurt. 00:07:38
Yeah, just a little. 00:07:41
Little minor surgery so. 00:07:42
Hopefully it'll get better soon. 00:07:44
That's the goal, anyway. 00:07:46
Sweet, so then just push that slides or? 00:08:13
OK. 00:08:19
OK, perfect. 00:08:20
Well, I appreciate. 00:08:22
You guys giving us a few minutes to do a little pavement preservation update. 00:08:23
We just kind of wanted to. 00:08:28
Give some information out and let everybody know what's going on. 00:08:29
1st I know, maybe a little bit redundant but. 00:08:34
You know, I wanted to give a little bit of. 00:08:39
Background why we do pavement preservation and. 00:08:41
The best thing for me is like if you. 00:08:45
If you have. 00:08:47
Doing maintenance on your car. 00:08:48
If you you could. 00:08:52
You could not do oil changes on your car. 00:08:54
For the life of the car. 00:08:57
But then and you might save money in the short term. 00:08:58
But eventually that would catch up to you. 00:09:01
And I would have this big costly repair. 00:09:03
And you can kind of see. 00:09:05
On the chart there is is it goes down into the original pavement. 00:09:07
If they do preservation of the dollar now. 00:09:10
If we wait. 00:09:12
Becomes $4.00 and I have to wait even further. 00:09:13
Becomes $25. 00:09:15
And so. 00:09:17
By doing maintenance on our roads now, we can save. 00:09:18
All those dollars. 00:09:22
And so, you know, I appreciate. 00:09:25
You know Vineyard. 00:09:28
Being willing to to. 00:09:29
Allow us to have the budget to do that. 00:09:31
And it's something that we take. 00:09:33
Great pride in haven't haven't really good routes here. 00:09:35
And I live in Salem at the more established community and they do a great job down there. 00:09:38
With what they have but. 00:09:42
When I drive around Salem, then I drive around Vineyard. 00:09:43
You know, I'm pretty proud of what we've done here in. 00:09:47
But it is a newer communities, but we want to keep it that way and. 00:09:49
I think if we keep that investment going, it will. 00:09:52
Pay dividends for selling the road so. 00:09:55
Here's a map of. 00:09:59
What we've done this year, some of this is. 00:10:01
Warranty work as well. 00:10:06
We did some warranty work along 170 S. 00:10:08
We did some warranty work in the Elms. 00:10:11
And then on the trail from City Hall. 00:10:13
Down to the Elms and then on 170 S the trail there. 00:10:16
We did some. 00:10:20
Warranty trial work on. 00:10:21
Just below cascade. 00:10:24
There and then cascade and. 00:10:25
Providence, we did some warranty work in there as well. 00:10:28
And that's work that. 00:10:32
That Holbrooke provides at no cost. 00:10:33
To ask because it was still under warranty. 00:10:36
So that's one of the big advantages that we have with HA5IS. 00:10:38
They have the best warranty. 00:10:43
In the business so. 00:10:44
And they're really good to work with that way. 00:10:45
As far as next year's? 00:10:48
Conservation, we have about $389,000 to spend on that. 00:10:50
The rough calculations we want to get. 00:10:55
Vineyard Rd. 00:10:59
And then from. 00:11:00
300 W. 00:11:02
Vineyard up to. 00:11:03
Basically where the bridge is. 00:11:06
Being built now. 00:11:08
So and. 00:11:09
We want to do those routes because. 00:11:12
Sometimes you have to take into consideration even though we may have some relatives that are worse off. 00:11:14
Sometimes those roads that are. 00:11:19
Worse off, it's better to save the roads that you have. 00:11:20
Good and keep them good. 00:11:24
Than to put more money into roads that are. 00:11:26
Not as good. 00:11:28
And so we want to get to them all eventually, but. 00:11:29
Because these are main roads throughout Vineyard. 00:11:33
And where they get a lot of traffic, we want to keep those roads nice and so. 00:11:36
That's kind of why we've concentrated on those. 00:11:40
Those areas. 00:11:42
And as always when whenever we do projects, obviously we find. 00:11:47
Areas where we fall short. 00:11:51
I know for myself. 00:11:54
I There's a lot of moving parts to. 00:11:55
Doing the preservation program. 00:11:58
And a lot of. 00:12:00
Back and forth between myself. 00:12:01
And the contractors? 00:12:03
And I see. 00:12:06
You know. 00:12:07
Numerous maps and proposals. 00:12:09
And everything. 00:12:12
Before we actually get down to the final. 00:12:13
You'll find a little bit and so I get really numb to a lot of that stuff because I. 00:12:15
I've looked at stuff over and over and over again. 00:12:20
And then, you know, then, then we change it up and then we look at it and then we change it up. 00:12:22
And I just, there's just a lot of moving parts to it. 00:12:27
And so for me. 00:12:29
Having input, you know, like the weekly coordination that we have up there. 00:12:31
Having some of that input, I think will be really valuable for me and something that I've learned because. 00:12:35
Everyone sees things through a different lens. 00:12:40
And everyone you know. 00:12:43
And that information is valuable to me because. 00:12:46
If someone can say, well hey, did we notify this or did we do that? 00:12:48
Or hey, we have this going on. 00:12:53
You know cuz. 00:12:54
Sometimes I just get lost in the. 00:12:55
In the in the battle, trying to get things done because. 00:12:57
The reality is. 00:13:01
While we want to get things done on our schedule and just do it when it's the most perfect time. 00:13:02
We deal with the contractor and then they have subcontractors. 00:13:08
And so. 00:13:12
All of that. 00:13:13
All those moving parts. 00:13:14
To get everybody to agree on to a date. 00:13:16
It just it's really difficult to do. 00:13:18
And so when we get those dates. 00:13:21
It's hard to say. 00:13:23
No, no, we can't do it. 00:13:24
You know, because we don't know if it's ever going to come back. Then again that. 00:13:25
And so. 00:13:29
There's just a lot of moving parts to it and so. 00:13:30
Like, you know. 00:13:33
You know, it's, it's just a difficult thing to do, but we do the best we can and, and obviously we'll try to learn as we go along 00:13:35
to each project we do. 00:13:38
We get better, we will get better, and we'll make it better for everyone. 00:13:42
I just want to say thank you for that and for leaning into that coordination because. 00:13:46
That's just going to be the case for every single project that we do. 00:13:51
And so. 00:13:55
Coming and saying that and just being willing to say, OK, what can we do better next time? How do we get this right? And we have 00:13:57
all of these moving pieces. I feel like you guys did a really good job. There were little things that went awry and you worked as 00:14:02
a team. You brought it all back together and you came up with a new plan that's going to make it even better the next time. And. 00:14:08
That's really all the people care about and that's all we can hope for as. 00:14:14
People working together with different talents and strengths and skills. So thank you. We really appreciate it. Yeah. 00:14:18
Great. I think that's. 00:14:24
All we got so. 00:14:26
Awesome. Any questions about pavement preservation? 00:14:28
I know you had a couple of people reaching out about it. 00:14:31
This is a great slide. I love this the pictures that show the $1.00 versus the $25 investment overtime. 00:14:33
And that that difference and really is saying. 00:14:41
The way that you articulated, we want to keep what's good, good. 00:14:45
And kind of phasing out and really, you know. 00:14:49
That it's on the forefront of your mind that some of the roads that were like, but why aren't you fixing this one? And it's 00:14:51
because. 00:14:53
You're getting ready for an investment to take care of that road in a different way, and then we'll keep what's good. Good then. 00:14:56
2 so that's nice Yep, thank you just. 00:15:02
Prioritizing is the best thing to do with our money so. 00:15:05
Perfect. 00:15:08
All right. Thank you so much. We hope your arm heals soon. 00:15:09
Yeah, me too. No, this is not too. I just wanted to make one highlight that Chris Thomas that not only he gets on fixed, but he 00:15:13
recently got this certified book manager certification. 00:15:17
Chris, if you turn this way, I'll get a picture because Nasima is trying to get one. 00:15:29
And I'll get one for you. 00:15:33
Thank you so much. 00:15:37
All right, that brings us right to our public comments. 00:15:38
If there's anybody that would like to address the Council on things that are not on the agenda, please come to the podium. 00:15:41
State your name and where you're from. Time will set a 2 minute timer and we would love to hear from you. 00:15:47
Just by a raise of hands. 00:15:51
Can I see who is thinking about making a comment tonight? We've got 1/2. 00:15:53
Any others? 00:15:59
All right, come on up. 00:16:00
My name is David Pierce. I live in the Cascade neighborhood. I attended the. 00:16:12
Ribbon cutting. 00:16:16
Linden Heritage Trail. 00:16:19
And that's kind of exciting. 00:16:21
So I'll complete that whole trail. 00:16:24
From the light. 00:16:28
To the Canyon. 00:16:29
And it was. 00:16:31
This book was a good project. 00:16:35
My wife and I, Jane. 00:16:39
I'm going to be walking on that trail. 00:16:41
And justice using it. 00:16:43
And we appreciate the effort to. 00:16:46
I know, Mayor, that's something you've been working on for. 00:16:49
Eight years now. 00:16:51
And all the other council members. 00:16:53
Been helping to support that. 00:16:57
So I have my. 00:16:59
Heritage Trail Hat was on his game. 00:17:01
Just want to say thanks either. 00:17:04
Thank you. 00:17:06
Aria Evans still is resident. I too echo. 00:17:16
David Sediment. 00:17:20
It's a great addition to the trail system. High. 00:17:22
Russ and I wrote on it. 00:17:25
All the way to Geneva Road and we decided not to cross Geneva Rd. because, you know, it's a little busy. 00:17:27
But we will do it sometime. 00:17:32
I just have a couple of questions. 00:17:34
Previous City Council meeting. 00:17:36
We've been talking about water conservation. 00:17:38
And I just would like to know, are we subsidizing our water? 00:17:42
And if we are subsidizing our water, who is subsidizing it? Is it the city, the county or the state? 00:17:48
I brought my vineyard. 00:17:59
Water bill, because we were talking about this tonight and I just have a question about the transportation fee. 00:18:00
I've noticed that. 00:18:08
It wasn't listed somewhere. 00:18:10
And I'm wondering what has happened to it and if so, is it coming back as a tough a transportation utility fee? 00:18:12
And when will it come online? 00:18:19
And also. 00:18:22
Chris was speaking about the preservation. 00:18:25
Of the. 00:18:28
City streets, what is what was is that warranty period? 00:18:29
And why are we redoing it now if it was within the warranty period? Thank you. 00:18:34
Thanks Karia. 00:18:40
Any other comments? 00:18:42
Four more questions. 00:18:45
I'm Darlene Price, I live in the villas and I'm just wondering. 00:18:52
The last two times that we've met, I. 00:18:56
I've asked about safety for children. 00:18:58
That are on those motor scooters or. 00:19:01
Whatever they're writing these days and I'm wondering. 00:19:04
What has been done? 00:19:07
Nothing, right? 00:19:11
Nothing. 00:19:12
Hopefully we'll I'll address in the fan. Thank you. Thank you darling. 00:19:16
Any other comments? 00:19:21
OK, with that, I'm going to go ahead and close public comments. 00:19:24
And we'll start with the safety. 00:19:28
Nicholas, I like some of these things to be addressed tonight. I think it's. 00:19:30
It's a good time to give an update. 00:19:33
All right, so we recently passed the golf cart and micro mobility device ordinance. 00:19:36
On that one, you're talking about the. 00:19:40
Like scooters and bicycles and stuff like that. I believe that's what you're talking about. 00:19:43
We passed an ordinance where they have to be writing those. 00:19:47
In a safe manner throughout our parks. So that's we've had a lot of concerns. 00:19:49
So the deputies are have the ability now and have have an ordinance in place where they can actually take action if somebody's. 00:19:53
Writing in a way that that is dangerous to others or even to themselves throughout through our parks. 00:19:58
And then obviously any of the other things like the. 00:20:03
Crosswalks and things like that, their state codes and sequences that we take, we take action on those. 00:20:05
So, yeah, so that is pretty exciting. 00:20:10
Is there a? Is there a statement on the microphone? 00:20:13
Coursewood So Darlene, Darlene Price just said, is there a safety course for it? 00:20:16
We don't necessarily have a safety course. We do do a bike rode over here and. 00:20:23
During bike month where we teach. 00:20:26
Bike safety when everybody's encouraged to come, when we talk about. 00:20:28
Road signs and how to read those Rd. signs, what you do when you approach those Rd. signs and really do make a big effort to. 00:20:32
Teach the kids how to be safe when they're out riding. We really encourage them to wear their helmets. 00:20:38
And even provide helmets for for for kids when they come to that. We do a really fun. 00:20:43
Demonstration with the watermelon. We dropped it off the ladder in the helmet. 00:20:48
The watermelon's safe versus when it's not in it. 00:20:51
Splashes all over everybody, so. 00:20:54
We do a really good job of trying to trying to. 00:20:56
Educate them. 00:20:58
Obviously any more education we can get from from. 00:20:59
Parents, anybody around to help educate our kids to be safe and. 00:21:02
Washing for cars because they're not going to win those battles. 00:21:05
We would greatly appreciate. 00:21:08
Yeah. Thank you so much for all you've done on that and thank you for the update. 00:21:09
Sometimes we don't always get to it. 00:21:13
We if it is helpful, I can have. 00:21:16
One of our staff members pull up that. 00:21:19
Code that we recently implemented and pass it on to you. 00:21:21
So that you can review it and see it. 00:21:24
As well, let's go ahead and talk about Daria's. 00:21:27
Comments missing, do you have it? 00:21:30
Anything to? 00:21:32
Respond to her on that. 00:21:33
For the Council. 00:21:36
So in regards to the warrant. 00:21:38
Period on the pavement. 00:21:41
I can speak on that SO. 00:21:42
The areas that, uh. 00:21:44
Cortana talk about some of the rust being. 00:21:46
Done under the warrant on their warranty period, we doing on their warranty period the contractor. 00:21:48
Is the honoring their warranty even though it's late periods to the grade is a year? 00:21:53
On those on those those types of surface treatments. 00:21:59
The contractor is honoring their. 00:22:02
Warranty passed that one year mark. Those are those are areas like for example, some trails that they have done in some pavements, 00:22:04
roadways, pavements they've done. 00:22:07
Which was passed a year but the contractor is honoring their. 00:22:10
Their work and doing those things at no cost of the city. 00:22:13
As long as as long as they're being able to do it. 00:22:17
At the same time. 00:22:20
The newer areas as well. 00:22:21
So yeah. 00:22:23
The policy does is the surfacing have worn out like like patches. 00:22:25
So you go on a trail and you saw like some past areas. 00:22:32
And so you have some areas that were. 00:22:35
What this therapist thing had adhered. 00:22:37
In some areas where they're servicing, denied here. 00:22:39
So they just redid those. They just redid those areas. 00:22:42
And along with the roads as well. 00:22:45
So hopefully answers your question. 00:22:47
On that the. 00:22:50
And I may not understand your question fully about subsidizing the water specifically. 00:22:54
What I think we could do for that one, if there's not clarity on it is that you guys could meet at a different time and you can 00:23:00
get clarity. And if we want to bring that information back to the council at that time, we can the question just. 00:23:05
For you was do we subsidized our water and probably through taxpayer dollars is the question. And then she had questions about 00:23:10
tough utility and transportation fees and things like that, which you guys can clarify outside of this meeting. OK. And then I 00:23:17
just wanted to make a comment. It's such an interesting thing we talked about how so many hands go into building. 00:23:24
Trails and. 00:23:30
Just congratulations to Lyndon for really pushing their side through and connecting to our lake trail. It's good. 00:23:32
Going to be such an amazing amenity for our community. 00:23:39
They talked about how it's a trail that goes all the way to the mountainside and what an incredible opportunity to connect. 00:23:43
Our small community into this regional area for recreation and utility in ways that we. 00:23:49
We've been kind of disconnected as a smaller community and having these big roads that. 00:23:56
Block us off from other communities. And so to make these connections is a really incredible opportunity. 00:24:01
So thank you to all of our staff. 00:24:06
For putting that on Morgan, Yeah. Did you have something to add to this? Yeah, well, I was just, I thought I was playing. That was 00:24:08
like my first project about nine years ago that that I worked on London. I remember you and my council members that that worked on 00:24:12
that with them. 00:24:16
It's just called sometimes those little projects like. 00:24:21
Make it so easy. Let's just build that trail. You know, we can have that done next month. But they did are so much that went into 00:24:24
it and so, so much that when I was the last segment took us nine years. Yeah. 00:24:29
It's we finally got it and what was really cool about it was that. 00:24:34
If you saw the people standing out there, it was like. 00:24:38
Federal delegation and huge utility companies and. 00:24:40
Union Pacific Railroad was out there and if people really knew all of those different people standing out there to make that work, 00:24:45
I mean. 00:24:49
And we started that last stretch that Morgan's talking about, and that was a baton I was handed from their Farmworth. 00:24:53
You know, and all the work that went in it before, which was so cool because we got to see earlier mayors. 00:24:58
Who wrote the first grant and. 00:25:03
With their councils and their staff and. 00:25:05
It was really cool, so thank you. 00:25:08
Thank you for that. 00:25:09
It's really great for our residents. 00:25:11
OK. With that, we'll go ahead and move on to our next agenda item. This is going to bring us to our consent items. 00:25:13
Can I get a motion for our consent items or do you have something to discuss? 00:25:20
I moved to adoptive consent. 00:25:31
The consent items as presented. All right. We have a first by Marty. Can I get a second? 00:25:34
Second. Second by Sarah. All in favor. 00:25:39
Aye, aye. 00:25:42
Any opposed all right. 00:25:43
Nobody was opposed. 00:25:46
It passed 9.1. 00:25:47
We're going to talk about the canvas. This is why we're having this meeting today. According to state law, we needed to hold this 00:25:49
meeting. 00:25:52
7 to 14 days after the. 00:25:55
Is that the vote went through? 00:25:58
And Pam is actually going to talk about it, so I will. 00:26:00
Let our recorder. 00:26:03
Present and share the results of the primary. 00:26:04
Second one I get the clip shirter. 00:26:19
Sorry I still had a little bit of prayer problems today, but. 00:26:45
Just a little. 00:26:48
Background. Well, I'm. 00:26:49
Setting this up. 00:26:51
For the public to see. 00:26:52
County was sending us. 00:26:56
All of these final results. 00:26:57
This afternoon and so. 00:27:00
I had to throw things together. 00:27:02
Hello. Maybe not. 00:27:04
OK. 00:27:08
There we go. 00:27:13
So if I missed something I apologize, but everything is in there. 00:27:18
But if I missed something on that cover sheet, I. 00:27:21
Do. 00:27:24
What's there? Where is it at? 00:27:30
OK. 00:28:00
So what the county does? 00:28:01
Now is sends us from. 00:28:02
Different sheets as you can see in there, but. 00:28:06
I just want to thank you, Mayor and Council. 00:28:08
You are now sitting as the. 00:28:12
From a vineyard canvassing board for the primary. 00:28:13
The 2025. 00:28:17
Primary election. 00:28:18
That's a little bit of background on it. You're. 00:28:19
Were required, as the mayor was mentioning. 00:28:22
To do this canvas. 00:28:24
And it's within. 00:28:26
No sooner than 7 days. 00:28:28
And no later than 4. 00:28:30
Ten days after the election and that is why. 00:28:31
We put the special session together. 00:28:35
I sent some information out to council about. 00:28:39
Holding just one meeting tonight because otherwise we would have to have two meetings. 00:28:42
About a month ago and then I. 00:28:45
Created everything that needed to be done. 00:28:47
As as we went so. 00:28:50
We have this. 00:28:53
Basically scheduled over a month ago. 00:28:56
When I realized that they were back-to-back. 00:28:59
Meetings, so I appreciate you allowing me to. 00:29:01
Us to do this tonight. 00:29:05
The. 00:29:07
Also, on the majority of the state is. 00:29:09
That have primaries. 00:29:12
Are canvassing tonight. There were few that did it last week. 00:29:13
So the county had the household to get those ones done, but there were still a few things out there that I knew we had. 00:29:16
And so I knew we wanted to wait. 00:29:22
Those 14 days. 00:29:24
So in. 00:29:26
In your packet. 00:29:26
I just I did this. 00:29:30
Search certificate that I. 00:29:31
Sign that I take from the county results. 00:29:33
And so makes it hopefully a little easier. There are a couple other extra things this year that are in there. 00:29:36
And I'm just going to hurry and read. 00:29:41
All this page. 00:29:43
For you, Savage. 00:29:45
You're reviewing it. 00:29:46
We had. 00:29:47
For the August 12. 00:29:48
2025 primary election. 00:29:50
The time of August 7th, which is the Thursday before, which is the last day they take. 00:29:53
And voter registration, I believe it is. 00:29:59
Before the. 00:30:03
That they can count it as a registered voter rather than a provisional. 00:30:05
Ballot. So there was 6592 registered voters. 00:30:09
3823 of those were. 00:30:14
Classified as private. 1713 were classified as public. 00:30:17
And 1056 wanted everything withheld. 00:30:21
Total so. 00:30:26
The ballots that were turned in. 00:30:28
For the election, the total number of balance counted. 00:30:30
Or 1000. 00:30:33
683. 00:30:35
And in 2023? 00:30:38
Just the general election of all I had to go by because we were doing right choice. 00:30:41
We had. 00:30:45
Total of active voters was 6000. 00:30:48
323. 00:30:51
And the total number of ballots that came. 00:30:53
Yeah, we're 1660 ballots, so. 00:30:55
It's a. It's a small increase. 00:30:59
So, umm. 00:31:02
Voter Education. 00:31:04
Get on my little. 00:31:05
Soapbox for just a second if you don't mind. 00:31:07
For people to understand how important. 00:31:10
The primary election is because if your person's in there and you don't vote for them because you want to wait for the general 00:31:13
election, they may not move on. 00:31:16
So because we're. 00:31:19
The selection was eliminating 2 of the candidates. 00:31:21
Because in the general election you can have no more. 00:31:25
And two times the number of seats. 00:31:28
Open and for Council we have. 00:31:30
Three seats this year because of the change in government. 00:31:33
That'll be effective January 1, 2026. 00:31:36
And so there you could vote for three people. 00:31:40
For up to three people in the. 00:31:43
Top 6. 00:31:45
Are the ones that will move on. 00:31:46
The balance that were counted. 00:31:48
For the general. 00:31:53
Two years ago, uh. 00:31:54
Are less than what we're. 00:31:55
Counted for the primary this year, but if we can get the word out and get people out to vote. 00:31:57
That would be great. We went from the original. 00:32:02
Release in. 00:32:05
On Election Day, on the 12th. 00:32:07
We were at what? 00:32:09
15%. 00:32:10
But by the time they were able to get everything counted, we moved up to 25. 00:32:12
Percent and it's. 00:32:16
We were just a little more than 25% of the last general election, so I believe. 00:32:18
I forgot to write that one down, sorry. 00:32:24
So as you can see on the rest of this report. 00:32:27
That, umm. 00:32:30
Of the 1660 ballots that. 00:32:32
Were counted, 20 were in person. 00:32:35
Now 6 no cry. 00:32:39
Start over. Of the 1683 ballots that were counted, 1660 were the drop box or mailed back. 00:32:41
20 were in person. 00:32:51
Two were returned electronically. 00:32:53
And they were probably voters overseas in the military, that kind of a thing that. 00:32:55
That is allowed to be done, so that's great. Only one provisional ballot. 00:33:01
Was counted, which means that somebody went in and registered either during early voting or on Election Day to a vote center. 00:33:06
So. 00:33:13
That's. 00:33:15
Yeah, yeah. 00:33:17
Yep, just one provisional ballot, but that doesn't mean that's how many. 00:33:19
Were in person because there were 20. 00:33:22
That were counted, that were in person? That just meant they were already registered to vote. 00:33:24
And they just went in a person I know I had a call. 00:33:28
About. 00:33:31
Somebody or nobody came in and they said they'd spoiled their ballot. 00:33:32
And so I told him. I gave him. 00:33:36
You know what they needed to do. 00:33:38
And with that. 00:33:40
One good piece of. 00:33:41
Of news that I want to put out there as well. 00:33:43
As part of this is that we will have a vote Center for the general election. 00:33:46
Here in in the City Council chambers, so. 00:33:50
That'll be great. We'd love to have it come back. 00:33:54
So I'm glad to. 00:33:57
To hear that the county is. 00:33:58
Willing to give us one. 00:34:00
How was that decided the county just. 00:34:02
Called Jeff, They just asked me. 00:34:05
He said would you like to vote senator? And I said I'd love a vote center here. 00:34:07
Are you going to need volunteers to help run it? 00:34:11
The town, because we're contracted the county, the county actually does the poll workers. 00:34:14
And Tony Krickman if I'm wrong, but. 00:34:18
Do they have to reappoint them for the general election, the poll workers that they did for the primary? 00:34:22
Yeah, yeah. 00:34:27
So that's what I thought. 00:34:28
So if anybody's interested, they'll contact those that were poll workers from the primary, but they may send us another notice 00:34:29
saying that they. 00:34:33
It's only need workers and you need to get a hold of them right away because those spots do fill up and. 00:34:36
I think it's. 00:34:42
Fun. 00:34:43
So. 00:34:44
If I were on the ballot, I would. 00:34:45
Yeah, to volunteer, right, if you're. 00:34:47
Not on the ballot. 00:34:50
So back to our report. Sorry. 00:34:53
So total of. 00:34:56
Ballots not counted, and these are the reasons we separated out the reasons why they weren't counted. 00:34:57
When the signature didn't match the envelope, meaning they probably just signed the wrong envelope and sometimes they can cure 00:35:03
those. 00:35:06
Just by umm. 00:35:10
I don't know, knowing their households, right, Tony? 00:35:15
Tony can give you a little more insight. 00:35:17
Yeah, typically with those ones there. 00:35:19
Uh, you'll get. 00:35:22
Spouses assign each other's valid envelopes. 00:35:23
And so it's really easy as you're going through the signature verification process to look at both. 00:35:26
Pull up the signatures for both house, both voters in the household and you can go, OK, that's what they did. And it's. 00:35:31
A pretty easy cure. 00:35:37
And a lot of times they'll reach out. 00:35:38
To that. 00:35:41
Person if they know whether they can figure out who that person is, if they can read the signature. 00:35:42
Or you know, contact person with. 00:35:47
On the the name on the ballot. 00:35:49
On that, not the ballot, the envelope, There's no names on balance. 00:35:51
Let me clarify that. 00:35:55
So, so that's there's just one this time, which is great. 00:35:58
One unsigned, one which? 00:36:03
They weren't able to cure. Curing means that they can correct it and be able to count those ballots and so. 00:36:05
Anything that they've. 00:36:11
Cured would be in the. 00:36:12
The other. 00:36:13
In your upper list. 00:36:15
So there were five that were challenged. 00:36:17
And not being able to count, be count, whether they were counted or not, there were just five that were challenged. 00:36:21
And so we don't really have that number of the challenged ones. 00:36:26
Were counted or not, they don't break that out. 00:36:29
What does that mean exactly? 00:36:32
Challenge Challenge could be. 00:36:35
Well, one of the things is that they sign for somebody else. 00:36:38
Or if. 00:36:41
Somebody. 00:36:43
Got a hold of them and says I don't think they're legal to be voting. 00:36:45
Some of those types of things can be. 00:36:48
Can be a challenge that the. 00:36:50
County because we contract with them. 00:36:52
Has to investigate. 00:36:54
So, but it just tells us they were challenged. It doesn't give us the results for those. 00:36:58
Just and it could be county. 00:37:03
Public challenge so. 00:37:09
The total number of. 00:37:12
Curable that weren't cured. 00:37:15
Does that make sense? So that means that people didn't get back to them in time? 00:37:17
To count the. 00:37:21
They have so many days to get back to them once they do that, and that was just two. 00:37:22
So overall turn out was 25.5%. 00:37:26
And we really need to increase that number. Would be fantastic to increase that number. 00:37:31
So we also have to let you know what the votes. 00:37:37
Cast reach candidate or council. I did leave them in ballot order, but you'll see. 00:37:41
On the county side, they put them in the number the voting. 00:37:46
The highest to the lowest so you could see that number. 00:37:49
I figured we'd leave it in ballot order, so. 00:37:53
Brett received Brett Claussen received 579. 00:37:56
Take a Word received 743. 00:38:00
Kaden wrote and received 580. 00:38:03
Sorry. 00:38:07
Losing my place here. 00:38:08
Terry Ewing, receipt 4. 00:38:10
3. 00:38:12
As Renee Nair received 600 and. 00:38:13
3 Parker Mccumber. 00:38:16
Received 690. David Larae Received 595 and. 00:38:18
Steve Terry received 267, so if you can, you'll see on your. 00:38:23
On your batch sheet. 00:38:29
The one on the Backpage. 00:38:30
Then I lied. 00:38:33
Skip the next page over. 00:38:35
Where the county put it in vote, a number of votes order who would be moving on. 00:38:37
Would be Jacob Wood, Parker Mccumber as Renaire, David Larae, Caden wrote, and Brett. 00:38:42
And Brett Klasse. 00:38:48
I understand this is just a nomination. 00:38:49
For these people to move on to the general election, so. 00:38:52
That is it in a nutshell. You also have. 00:38:57
The entire county summary on here. 00:39:00
If you wanted to review that a later time, you're not canvassing that. 00:39:03
For the vineyards is. 00:39:07
Wait at the bottom. 00:39:08
But if you wanted to see, you could see the. 00:39:10
Like the new school district results for the primary, who would be moving on for them? If you're curious about another city, it's 00:39:13
all in there for you. So. 00:39:16
With that, I'll turn it over. 00:39:20
To you from. 00:39:22
Discussion motion. 00:39:24
Perfect. Thank you so much for putting this together, it is really helpful. 00:39:25
Cancel. 00:39:29
Canvassing Board. 00:39:30
Do you have any questions? 00:39:31
About this. 00:39:33
If not, can I get a motion to certify the results? 00:39:34
I have a question. Do you do you have any idea like how, how we? 00:39:38
Fair and and voters compared to other cities in the county. 00:39:42
In in our percentage, yeah. 00:39:46
If you look over here. 00:39:49
On the county results. 00:39:51
They have. 00:39:53
Hold on, let me get that. 00:39:55
The county commissioners were reporting a 25% turn out across the county. 00:39:57
Yeah, so we're. 00:40:01
They Yeah, you found out already. Thanks. 00:40:03
Yeah, it's right at the beginning of their pages. 00:40:05
But. 00:40:09
So they were. 00:40:10
What I read was 20. 00:40:12
3.75 was the county average while Vineyard was 25 point county average. Yeah. 00:40:14
County average was 23.7. 00:40:20
20 county average was 23.73 as you read and ours was 25, so we were a little bit higher than the. 00:40:23
Actual average, but that doesn't mean we were higher than other cities. 00:40:30
So. 00:40:33
So that's interesting on my experience 25. 00:40:36
Why is the Commissioner numbers on? 00:40:41
On the county. 00:40:45
I don't know these are I'm. 00:40:49
Transfer these, I just can't go by their web. 00:40:50
Their results they send me. 00:40:52
Because those are my official results. 00:40:54
So I'm wondering if they needed to update their website? 00:40:57
They had total of. 00:41:01
3. 00:41:04
322,090 registered voters. 00:41:05
And only 76,446 registered brothers. 00:41:10
Audit. So there was. 00:41:15
34 blank. 00:41:17
So they felt kind of. 00:41:20
Count them as. 00:41:23
That person voted. 00:41:25
Because the envelopes get separated from the ballots. 00:41:26
So they'll get credit for voting even though they didn't vote for anything. 00:41:29
Maybe, though there's nothing to count. 00:41:33
Right, so it looked like we. 00:41:35
Do other high growth or fast growing cities as well? 00:41:39
Yeah, I'm sure it's OK. 00:41:42
All right. Well, can I get a motion or do you have more questions? 00:41:44
Can we please read the actual motion because it mentions the names? 00:41:49
I can make a motion if everyone's OK with that. 00:41:55
Please I move to certify the results of the August 12, 2025 municipal primary election. 00:41:58
For the nomination of 6. 00:42:04
Candidates. 00:42:06
Who will run for the office of City Council in the general election? 00:42:07
Those candidates are Brett Klassen, Jacob Wood, Caden. 00:42:11
As Rainier, Parker, Mccumber, and. 00:42:15
David Luray. 00:42:17
Excellent. I have a first by Marty. Can I get a second? 00:42:18
2nd Thank you, Sarah. 00:42:21
Yeah, Jake. 00:42:25
Brent aye. 00:42:27
Aye, Marty. I, Sarah. 00:42:28
Aye, all right. 00:42:31
OK. And I will have you sign the. 00:42:32
We're gonna do a little pomp and circumstance here and have the Council sign the document that they just. 00:42:34
That they certified the election. 00:42:40
Stating that it's they certified the election. 00:42:42
Congratulations to all the people that made it through and thank you so much for putting your names in. 00:42:46
Such a big deal to take time out of your lives to serve our community. 00:42:52
Really appreciate that. 00:42:56
And thank you Pam and Tony for all your artwork. 00:42:58
Yeah, thank you. Welcome. And for consolidating into one meeting. Thank you. Yeah, the consolidation is. You're welcome. 00:43:01
Thank you for allowing me to do it that way. 00:43:07
2. 00:43:28
All right. Thank you so much. 00:43:37
That brings us to our next agenda item, which is a public hearing. I'm going to take a motion to go into a public hearing. 00:43:40
So thank you, Marty. Can I get a second? 00:43:47
Thank you, Brett. 00:43:50
Favor. 00:43:51
Hi, this is a public hearing on the consolidate fee schedule amendment Resolution 2025-45 and our utility billing clerk, Maria. 00:43:52
Will present again. 00:44:02
Yes, I will go with that so. 00:44:04
There's quite a bit today, so I'll just kind of go from the beginning on page 4. This is for sports. 00:44:07
There's a couple update to the fees. So for a youth flag football. 00:44:13
That'll be going up to 80 per individual. 00:44:16
Use kickball. We're going to 60 for individual. 00:44:19
Youth Machine pitch is 80 for individuals. 00:44:23
Youth wrestling is 55 per individual. 00:44:26
And then? 00:44:29
And there are some new programs that they wanted to add in, so ski and snowboard program. 00:44:30
That would be 300 for individual and a youth fishery program. 00:44:34
That'll be 50 for individual. 00:44:37
A couple just changes they wanted to make. 00:44:39
For additional non residential fee. 00:44:43
Instead of team and individual, it'll now just say up to 20% of the registration fee. 00:44:45
Recreation program cancellation fee. 00:44:50
And that will just change to up to 100% of the registration fee. 00:44:52
On page 7. 00:44:59
A couple of just changes to averting. 00:45:01
It'll now it used to say all other parks, single soccer hourly field. 00:45:04
And we just want to change a little bit. So it'll be all other parts, single soccer fields or field, hourly rentals. 00:45:09
And that's just kind of changed throughout for. 00:45:15
It kind of varies on price for the days of the week. So that has changed four different times. 00:45:19
For hourlies as well as their 4 hour rental. 00:45:23
Next page will be on 17. 00:45:35
There's a couple differences. 00:45:39
The last time there was just a mistake on the number, so we're just fixing that. 00:45:41
So for drinking water it is based on meter size. So instead of just saying equivalent residential ERU, it'll say meter size. 00:45:45
It is 4207. 00:45:52
Dollars with $0.49 per ERU. 00:45:54
The table below that I've added. 00:45:57
We'll now just show. 00:45:59
Kind of every year going forward so it doesn't need to be updated as often so you can just refer to the table to look at what it 00:46:01
is per year. 00:46:03
As well as there's just that stipulation of drinking water includes all water service connections. 00:46:08
Types including landscaping meters. 00:46:14
On page 18, we have changed it since we are now going with Central Utah Water. 00:46:20
So it's now essential Utah Water Conservation District water rights cost per ERC. 00:46:24
Equal to the current fiscal year. 00:46:30
And then that is. 00:46:33
Based on their. 00:46:35
Our agreement. 00:46:36
And that's through the exhibit that we have. 00:46:38
Online, correct? 00:46:41
Is where you can find that just because it will change based on what they have as their fees. 00:46:43
As well as kind of how I stated earlier, the utility application fee will go from 20 to 25. 00:46:48
OK. Are there any questions from the public? 00:46:54
I just want to make a comment that I'm super excited to learn about the ski. 00:46:59
And Fisher recover. 00:47:02
And I'm fine. Are you? Have you guys figured out ages yet like? 00:47:04
How old can you be? 00:47:09
So for the ski and snowboard program, that will be geared towards ages 10 through 18. 00:47:15
Really just trying to pinpoint the teenager. So we don't have a lot of programs for that. 00:47:20
And then for fishing, we haven't quite. 00:47:26
Specified the age yet. 00:47:30
It'll likely be we'll start a little bit younger than 10. 00:47:32
But that'll also go up for teenagers as well. 00:47:36
That's really cool. 00:47:40
We're going to have a little bit of excitement. 00:47:41
So how does the how does the ski go about? 00:47:44
Snowboard program work. 00:47:47
Sorry. 00:47:49
But it's really cool. I'm just curious. Yeah. So we basically partner with. 00:47:50
The Brighton ski resort. 00:47:56
Where they have staff that will. 00:47:58
Teach the kids how to ski and snowboard. 00:48:01
They get a 2 hour lesson. 00:48:04
On a few Saturdays and then they get 4 hours per Saturday of free ski. 00:48:06
This is a program that American Fork and Lehigh both do as well. 00:48:12
And they sell out every time. 00:48:16
And this is something that has been brought up. 00:48:19
By a number of people. 00:48:21
And so we just. 00:48:24
Thought this would be a. 00:48:25
A great program. Yeah, that's awesome. So is it like a four week program or is it like a day program? It's a three-week program. 00:48:26
So it'll be two Saturdays in December and then the first Saturday in January. 00:48:34
That's awesome. 00:48:38
Does it include transportation or? 00:48:39
Yeah. So this will include a bus? 00:48:42
So that all the kids would. 00:48:46
Bus together to the location and we would have 5 chaperones that are adults to go with them. 00:48:48
Just a comment. 00:48:53
And take it or leave it but. 00:48:56
I know that elementary schools. 00:48:58
Have umm. 00:49:00
Ski programs for like I think it's 5th and 6th graders, maybe 4th, 5th and 6th. 00:49:01
So just a thought would be, you know, making sure that the older kids have the opportunity to try it out. 00:49:06
I I might be biased to say you should have it for 12 1/2 or something. 00:49:14
But or 13 1/2? 00:49:18
But I'm biased so. 00:49:20
No, that's a great thought. 00:49:22
So really targeting those teenagers, I think. 00:49:24
OK. Any questions from the public? 00:49:27
Come up, Daria. 00:49:32
Sorry Evans, been here. 00:49:39
Villas resident, I just found the transportation utility fee. It's going up to $3.50 per ERU. 00:49:41
That was one of my questions, so thank you very much. 00:49:46
And then just for that Daria. 00:49:50
That one's the one that's been in there this whole time, we just haven't charged it. 00:49:52
Yeah, so. 00:50:00
Just as a update, that one isn't fully like there. We're not. That's just what it was back in the day. 00:50:01
So we're not sure, I'm not sure what that will be at this time. 00:50:08
OK. Any other questions from the public? 00:50:11
Come on up. 00:50:16
David Pierce Cascade, I just had a question. 00:50:20
Relating to. 00:50:23
The fees for youth. 00:50:24
Recreation programs. 00:50:28
There was some talk. 00:50:29
In earlier meetings about a scholarship. 00:50:32
Program. 00:50:35
Do you want to hear more about that? 00:50:36
Yeah, yeah. 00:50:39
Yeah. So we started a scholarship program, I believe it was last year. 00:50:44
To where? 00:50:49
Anyone that. 00:50:51
You know. 00:50:53
Less likely to participate due to financial reasons. 00:50:55
If they work with snap. 00:50:59
Or, uh. 00:51:01
Have Medicare or whatever it might be. 00:51:03
They can send a copy of their. 00:51:05
Proof of that. 00:51:08
And our team can approve for them to get the financial assistance to participate. 00:51:09
We've had a number of people that have done it this year. 00:51:15
And so that's been really exciting to. 00:51:18
See them have the opportunity to play whereas. 00:51:20
Otherwise, they probably would not. 00:51:23
But we allow for each registration, we just have an open slot where registrants can. 00:51:26
Donate. 00:51:33
However much they'd like to that fund and then that fund is specifically for. 00:51:34
Though seeking financial assistance. 00:51:39
Please accept the microphone. 00:51:44
OK. Are there any other questions? Well. 00:51:46
Is that not just? 00:51:48
For residents or is it? 00:51:49
David Pierce again with the. 00:51:54
Cascade follow-up question were there. 00:51:55
More applicants than funds for that or were. 00:51:58
All the available seats taken. 00:52:01
Or were there extra funds leftover that not enough people applied for? 00:52:04
We have excess funds for OK. Thank you. 00:52:07
Thank you. 00:52:11
Hey, any other questions from the public? 00:52:14
All right. If not, I'm going to go out of the. 00:52:19
Public hearing I need a motion. 00:52:21
Thank you, Sarah. Can I get a second? 00:52:26
2nd Thank you, Marty. All in favor. 00:52:30
Hi. Hi. 00:52:32
Aye. All right. Any comment? OK. 00:52:34
Council, do you have any questions about this? 00:52:39
Any of the changes that have been made. 00:52:41
That you'd like to understand better. 00:52:46
None that haven't been already asked. 00:52:48
Jake, do you have anything? 00:52:54
No, Sarah. Marty. 00:52:55
OK, can I get a medicine? 00:52:57
I moved to adopt Resolution 202545, the consolidated fee schedule amendments, as presented. 00:53:04
OK, I have a first place Sarah, can I get a second? 00:53:10
Second. Second by. 00:53:14
I'll do this by roll call. 00:53:17
Aye, Fred. 00:53:19
Hi, Marty. 00:53:21
All right. Thank you so much. 00:53:23
This brings us to. 00:53:27
Discussion and action of authorizing bid award for independent financial audit and internal controls review resolution 2025, Dash 00:53:28
41 and I'm going to let. 00:53:33
Brett class and present on this if you've been. 00:53:38
Kind of leading out on this with Sarah. 00:53:41
So we first entered into the idea of having this financial review. 00:53:46
I think 2 meetings ago and. 00:53:52
Or no, it's longer than that. 00:53:55
But in our response we then. 00:53:57
Had a response and went through. We've now had. 00:54:00
Two interviews. 00:54:05
One that I that I would say was more of a. 00:54:07
Get to know you and make sure that we have a clear understanding and then a. 00:54:10
A second that was more of a. 00:54:14
OK, Now if we're going to go to this next step, what, what might those? 00:54:16
Agreed upon procedures for. 00:54:21
Reviewing the. 00:54:23
The areas that we wanted reviewed what might those look like? So they were they were draft responses and then we. 00:54:25
We reviewed those as a. 00:54:31
Committee we did have. 00:54:33
So. So primarily that was myself. 00:54:35
We had a resident who works in the industry. 00:54:38
Who Mr. 00:54:42
Get us who? 00:54:46
Again, where it works in the industry, who is part of that review process? 00:54:47
And then? 00:54:52
That we were the the primary reviewers, that there were a handful of others who. 00:54:55
Got to give opinions on that that as well. 00:55:01
And at this time we selected. 00:55:05
Mr. Chris Harding, who, who's in the room with us tonight And I'm, I'm sure we'll be able to ask him a few questions. 00:55:08
To go ahead and move forward with this. 00:55:14
We had initially transferred. 00:55:17
Or allocated $100,000 to. 00:55:20
Possibility of. 00:55:23
Of doing this review. 00:55:27
At this time, we'll be coming back. His estimate is significantly lower than that. 00:55:30
And what we have on the table tonight is an allocation of up to $45,000. 00:55:36
And that gives us some room. 00:55:42
As he's going through this process, if he finds something, that is a red flag. 00:55:45
And we determined that we need to look deeper. 00:55:50
It allows us to adjust our agreement in a way that we can. 00:55:53
That move forward with additional. 00:55:58
Investigation. 00:56:02
If if we need it. 00:56:03
And we and that we can do that without having to come back for. 00:56:05
Additional funds and wait for another Councilman. 00:56:10
Do so. 00:56:13
To the the agreements are part of the the Council agenda. 00:56:16
So. So they are available to everybody. 00:56:20
As part of this process, I've also met with every council member giving them an update prior to this meeting. 00:56:24
To know so that they would know. 00:56:30
What to expect? 00:56:32
And what Mr. Harding's? 00:56:34
Credentials are. 00:56:36
And I've also. 00:56:38
Indicated that. 00:56:40
Should any council member want to meet with him during the process. 00:56:41
That, uh. 00:56:46
They are entitled to do so. I would ask. 00:56:47
The the one. 00:56:50
Leading the initiative that. 00:56:51
That I'd be there as well. 00:56:53
But every. 00:56:56
Every council member has the. 00:56:58
The the privilege of. 00:57:01
Being part of that. 00:57:03
I would also. 00:57:04
Reiterate that part of the agreement. 00:57:06
Is that Mister Harding is independent. 00:57:08
His work quickly has the autonomy to request the documentation and information that he needs in order to complete his review. 00:57:13
And. 00:57:21
And that that is not dictated by any city staff. 00:57:24
It's dictated by him. 00:57:27
The professional leading the engagement. 00:57:30
The the last thing that I would that I would put. 00:57:38
Out there before we move to any other kind of questions are the. 00:57:41
The primary goals that we. 00:57:45
That we want to achieve through this. 00:57:47
Are one looking at? 00:57:49
Whether or not the city is compliant with their own process. 00:57:52
So there are policies and procedures in place. 00:57:57
And a big part of the review will be looking at whether or not. 00:58:00
The city even does what we say we were going to do. 00:58:04
As part of that, it'll also be looking at whether or not there are any areas. 00:58:07
Especially in high risk areas. 00:58:13
Potential fraud. 00:58:16
So he'll be reviewing. 00:58:17
Transactions in seven different areas. Those areas are listed in the. 00:58:19
The available documentation. 00:58:24
And. 00:58:28
And. 00:58:31
And then the the last thing that, well, no, two more things. 00:58:34
That we'll also be making recommendations to us after those reviews on areas that we can improve. So we'll be making policy 00:58:36
recommendations. 00:58:40
So that we can. 00:58:45
When needed, improve. 00:58:47
The way that we run the city. 00:58:49
And then lastly is recommendations on how to form an audit committee within the city. 00:58:52
And the purpose of an audit committee would be? 00:59:01
Just that it would be a committee that it helps facilitate. 00:59:03
Understanding how we operate and that we are in compliance with the with those rules. 00:59:07
And procedures that we have. 00:59:12
I believe that we that we have. 00:59:18
A great opportunity here. 00:59:21
To bring to light. 00:59:22
Any and all. 00:59:25
Issues that. 00:59:27
That may exist in the city. 00:59:28
And and we, we've also asked that. 00:59:30
Our schedule for delivery on this. 00:59:35
Is before the end of the year. 00:59:38
Quite frankly. 00:59:42
The reasoning behind that is that. 00:59:43
In in the coming year, we'll have a new administration. 00:59:47
And it's my opinion. 00:59:50
That that new administration should be equipped with. 00:59:52
The results? 00:59:56
So that they can establish any new policies or procedures. 00:59:58
They can establish how they want to govern. 01:00:01
With that information, if they had to wait another three months for it, I believe that makes it much more difficult for them to. 01:00:05
To establish how they would want to govern our city. 01:00:12
I think that's everything that I that I had that I want to say. So I, I guess we open it up for any. 01:00:17
Any questions? 01:00:22
Now, thank you so much for taking this on. You've done such a thorough job and. 01:00:23
Chris, just reviewing everything. We're so excited that your name was. 01:00:28
Put forward. 01:00:31
This is something that we have. 01:00:34
Wanted to put out there. 01:00:36
So that like. 01:00:38
Brett said. We can make sure that as we continue to grow. 01:00:39
At such an exceeding rate. 01:00:43
And as a young commitment. 01:00:46
Community really, and we've just been building and creating departments. 01:00:47
That we are taking the steps to make sure that. 01:00:52
What we do? 01:00:55
Is transparent. 01:00:56
And straightforward. 01:00:57
And efficient so that the people of Vineyard can. 01:00:59
Know that their taxpayer dollars are going to provide and serve them. 01:01:02
The very best. 01:01:06
That we can as. 01:01:07
Fellow neighbors. 01:01:10
Because we all care about this. 01:01:11
So with that Council, do you have any questions, any comments? 01:01:13
Otherwise I will need a motion. 01:01:18
Yeah. Are are you open to answer your question? 01:01:20
Yeah. 01:01:23
First off, you come highly recommended. 01:01:27
Thank you. 01:01:30
I know by myself. 01:01:31
In Full disclosure, you've audited public surplus on a few different things in different positions. 01:01:33
Anyway, you've got. 01:01:40
My company that I used to work but I still work for. 01:01:41
But there's no connection I you don't know me. 01:01:46
2nd. 01:01:49
You know, picture online, you've lost a lot of weight. So I did, yes. I had a surgery last year. I was having some health 01:01:50
problems, not that. 01:01:53
I don't care, but yes, I have and. 01:01:57
Yeah, like a whole. 01:02:02
Capital of man life. 01:02:03
So most people, when they do that, they update their picture, 'cause you're so skinny. 01:02:04
You know, I've updated on the county website, but I've. 01:02:08
We need to lose weight so. 01:02:12
In calling a lot of your colleagues, I. 01:02:17
Gained a lot of trust in your background and. 01:02:20
And who you are as a. 01:02:22
Person. 01:02:24
And also. 01:02:25
As I met with. 01:02:27
Councilmember Clawson yesterday was. 01:02:29
Pretty in depth and very wide-ranging and very. 01:02:32
Hard hitting. 01:02:37
And I would just say that I respect and gained a lot of trust for Council. 01:02:39
Awesome. My question. 01:02:45
To you is. 01:02:47
Having. 01:02:49
Done this or gone after or going through this review? 01:02:51
And responding to the RFP, what are? 01:02:55
Your hopes? 01:02:58
To accomplish or have you done this before? Yeah. 01:02:59
My goal is to to provide a beneficial. 01:03:05
Service. It's not necessarily to. 01:03:09
Give the city a black eye or to find a fraudster. 01:03:12
But it's. 01:03:16
Kind of a partnership, both. 01:03:18
Educationally and a process to improve. That's what I love about. 01:03:21
Auditing at the local level as a federal auditor for. 01:03:25
16 years auditing. 01:03:28
Defense contractors throughout the Valley, overseas I was. 01:03:30
Dugway Proving Grounds internal auditor and then. 01:03:34
Before I came to the Salt Lake County, I. 01:03:37
Was part of the Treasury Inspector General for. 01:03:40
Tax administration. It's a long name, but. 01:03:42
We all at the IRS. 01:03:45
And and and it was nice we'd have. 01:03:46
Great findings that you write a report in the federal government and it just. 01:03:49
Kind of goes off right there. You might see it on your web page, but. 01:03:52
There's no interaction with. 01:03:56
Who it's really affecting? 01:03:58
But at the local level. 01:04:00
It is extremely fulfilling as an auditor. 01:04:01
To write an audit report to have some findings. 01:04:04
And then see for example like. 01:04:07
At a City Council meeting or. 01:04:08
The County Council. 01:04:10
Where you're presenting your findings. 01:04:12
And then they pass an ordinance or write a policy. 01:04:15
Or, heaven forbid, discipline an employee. 01:04:19
These don't happen in the County Council meeting, but. 01:04:22
You see your work? 01:04:25
Take effect. 01:04:27
So, so that's kind of the. 01:04:29
I don't know, symbiotic relationship for me is to kind of. 01:04:31
See some effect? Take change, but then also to. 01:04:34
Provide a service. 01:04:38
Help bring an entity up to. 01:04:39
Parkes for auditors, this stuff is like. 01:04:42
Second hand nature, you know. 01:04:46
Give an example to Brett when we were talking like. 01:04:48
Auditors kind of take it for granted that. 01:04:51
No one. One person shouldn't be. 01:04:53
Taking cash over the counter. 01:04:56
Making the deposits and doing the reconciliation but. 01:04:58
Even in a big entity like Salt Lake County. 01:05:01
Stuff like that. 01:05:04
Happens all the time. 01:05:06
Because people are concerned about. 01:05:07
Aging and Adult Services, or. 01:05:10
Homeless folks or. 01:05:12
Whatever. 01:05:14
Their profession may be. 01:05:15
But auditors were always thinking like. 01:05:17
How do we? 01:05:20
Mitigate the risk of fraud, waste and abuse so. 01:05:21
That's really all I'm hoping to get out of it. 01:05:24
My, I don't think, you know, meeting with Seth and the state auditor. 01:05:29
I'm I'm OK with the fraud side of things just because of how we vote in high level. 01:05:34
You know, we voted for all of the spending that we did. 01:05:40
And one of the reasons and I came out very hard against this, but then after meeting with Brett and seeing the reduction in price 01:05:43
and also seeing that it aligns more with the. 01:05:48
State auditors recommendations. 01:05:53
It gets very close to being me. Yes, I've like twirled in this all day. In fact, I literally don't know what I did about right 01:05:55
now. 01:05:58
'Cause I'm I'm that close. 01:06:02
And also from the olive branch from Brett reaching out and just talking through it. 01:06:04
But on the definition, I guess my eternal struggle is on. 01:06:09
You know, I've worked in the National League of Cities for 18 years. How do you define? 01:06:16
Waste if if a council has voted on that this is a priority. 01:06:21
Every. I mean Park City is different from West Valley and. 01:06:28
Yeah, you know, like. 01:06:32
What is that definition? Because it's like. 01:06:34
And not like that, but voted upon spending. 01:06:36
We already know that it was all. 01:06:40
Everything that we've spent was been voted on so. 01:06:42
Who are you to say that it's? 01:06:45
Waste. If the Council therefore has already approved it, that's no problem. 01:06:47
And that is a. 01:06:51
And I don't know the area, so here here's. 01:06:53
Oh, you guys are gonna have to get used to this coming from the mind of Chris Harding. 01:06:57
So it is different. 01:07:03
Vineyard City is different from Park City. 01:07:04
And and I would say. 01:07:07
Defining waste it. 01:07:08
It all depends because you have to look at the situation. What entity are you looking at? 01:07:10
Oh, and here's one. 01:07:15
You're going to get it so. 01:07:17
How the Supreme Court define *********** it's hard to define. 01:07:19
But you know when you see it. 01:07:23
And that's the way it is when you're looking at an entity. 01:07:25
And you've kind of got some context of what's going on. 01:07:28
You know. 01:07:31
A city budget. 01:07:33
Like Frobenius, might be a rounding error. 01:07:35
For a company like Apple. 01:07:37
And, and once you're in there and you're looking at, well, what's really material, what? 01:07:39
Judgments. Do they have to work with? What information do they have to work with? 01:07:45
I I don't want to see the auditors place is to tell an entity what to do. 01:07:50
But to say what? 01:07:55
What looks reasonable? 01:07:56
What information do they have available? 01:07:58
Mike, when we're auditing a. 01:08:01
A defense contract years ago in my federal service. 01:08:04
We weren't trying to second guess but. 01:08:07
The contractor would come in and say. 01:08:09
You know we're going to charge you. 01:08:11
$400.00 for a hammer and $600.00 for a toilet seat. 01:08:14
And we'd go out there and look at the information, what's the comparable pricing of for labor rates or indirect rates? 01:08:18
And then we kind of just put those facts out there. Here's what you're proposing. 01:08:24
Here's what. 01:08:28
The information that we found. 01:08:29
And then we questioned the. 01:08:31
The difference and call it question cost. 01:08:32
It's kind of the same way we look at the information that's presented to us. 01:08:35
Look at the policies that the city has information. 01:08:40
What support they have and invoices. 01:08:43
And and just kind of make. 01:08:46
Recommendations. 01:08:48
But again, I don't think the auditor's place. 01:08:50
You guys are the policymakers, right? We will present facts to you. 01:08:52
With recommendations, best practices. 01:08:56
And kind of leave it up to you to make that. 01:08:59
That judgment call. 01:09:01
If I could just add to the internal auditor functions such as this. 01:09:04
Is a little bit different. 01:09:08
Auditing and what the? 01:09:10
State auditor might. 01:09:12
The there's going to be, especially with agreed upon procedures. 01:09:14
There might be questions of hate. We've come to this. 01:09:19
A branch in the audit work. 01:09:23
We could go this way. We could go this way. So we talked with the. 01:09:24
I'm going to call it the quasi audit committee right now, those who put out the announcement. 01:09:28
And say you know. 01:09:32
What would best serve your needs? 01:09:33
And our language will be a little bit different. 01:09:35
We're going to see opportunities for improvement here. We recommend this. 01:09:38
Where is the state auditor might come out and say. 01:09:42
They're saying to be fell to this. They were negligent in this. 01:09:45
It's a little bit different. 01:09:48
Not that we're trying to. 01:09:50
Diminish the findings for. 01:09:51
Downplay them, but it's. 01:09:54
It's a different. 01:09:56
Type of auditing. They're more of an external auditor. 01:09:58
Right. Whereas we're internal, kind of. 01:10:01
Here for your benefit, although our reports are going to be made. 01:10:05
Public I only one more one more question, which is. 01:10:08
And I spoke with Brett about this and I don't want to speak about this in open forum because it talks about closed door session 01:10:13
topics. 01:10:17
But as long as I get the confirmation that me and Brett can meet with you to go over. 01:10:21
And we didn't settle on a word, but. 01:10:27
A Prop. 01:10:30
Let's see where we talked about yesterday. 01:10:33
I think we were. We were talking about how. 01:10:36
See, now you put me on the spot. I can't remember. 01:10:38
I don't wanna use the word. We were using the. 01:10:41
But it was essentially compliance with our compliance. I'm using wrong? That's not the same word we used yesterday. How to how? 01:10:45
Yeah, with our yeah, with our own policies and just. 01:10:52
Why? As a board member? 01:10:58
Getting information like a lot of this isn't. 01:11:02
That all of this spending was like I complete, I continue to repeat. This was voted on. 01:11:05
And so it hits all thresholds. 01:11:11
But it's how did. 01:11:14
How did? 01:11:15
How did little information know about it? 01:11:16
And then even as a. 01:11:19
Board member. 01:11:21
Getting the information. 01:11:23
So that's not a tug of war. 01:11:24
Of that process like our policies in place so that. 01:11:27
Quick and easy to get this information instead of. 01:11:31
A long time, so if I can get that. 01:11:34
Every council member can meet with you and. 01:11:36
Or at least at the beginning and go through and say these are the. 01:11:39
Policies. 01:11:42
Or procedures that I feel were failing. 01:11:43
Is it a lack of information? Is a lack of our code? Is it lack of? 01:11:46
Or or am I mistaken that? 01:11:50
That's just common practice and. 01:11:52
You know, maybe I'm wrong, so I think. 01:11:54
If that's the review process and we're talking about. 01:11:56
A reduction of 45,000. I think you've got my vote. 01:12:00
From my perspective and I. 01:12:04
Oh Crystal, look for confirmation for. 01:12:06
But from my perspective, that's. 01:12:10
Absolutely on the table to have those discussions. 01:12:12
And I I would even. 01:12:15
I wonder. 01:12:17
If we're having a meeting with any council member, they bring forward OK, this is a specific thing I'm concerned about. 01:12:18
Is there any reason that you wouldn't? 01:12:25
Go look at that. 01:12:27
Yeah, no, for sure. That's I think. 01:12:28
Part of an auditor's duty is. 01:12:31
An audit is meant to be. 01:12:33
Changeable. 01:12:37
To adapt to the situation. 01:12:38
If we're rooting around. 01:12:41
In an area. 01:12:43
And something comes up that either we find or. 01:12:44
I mean, that's how. 01:12:47
Broadway synthesis often found is. 01:12:49
The auditors doing something. 01:12:51
And an employee, disgruntled or otherwise, comes up and says. 01:12:53
You should look over here in this closet. 01:12:57
And that was my last, that was my last question. It was like whistleblowers for people is there is there would you be putting out 01:13:00
some sort of e-mail or phone number to? 01:13:04
Reach or connect to you that they would feel comfortable coming forward. 01:13:08
Oh yeah, yeah, my. 01:13:11
Cell phone number is. 01:13:15
In there I can give it to you right now and. 01:13:16
Anybody can call me? 01:13:19
I'm sure you could Google it, it's probably there too. 01:13:21
Yeah, e-mail, text me. 01:13:24
OK, all hours of the night I'm. 01:13:25
Happy to respond. I I love auditing so. 01:13:28
OK, thank you. And I just maybe we won't call you all hours, you might not get a response, Alexis and. 01:13:30
And I just want to make a public. 01:13:39
Rescinding of my. 01:13:41
Of previous things. 01:13:43
And just thank Councilmember Clawson for. 01:13:45
His dedication to sit down and go through. 01:13:48
And hear me out. 01:13:51
And give me the respect that. 01:13:53
That I felt the issue. 01:13:55
Needed. 01:13:58
And I I. 01:13:58
Me and Brett do not vote on almost anything. 01:14:00
But we do vote and agree upon respect. I appreciate that. 01:14:04
I do have a question. 01:14:09
So one of the discussions that we had tonight was you'll look into things and that's as far as the scope goes. 01:14:10
If it fits in the scope. If we need to look into additional. 01:14:18
It would come back to the Council for review, or would that remain? 01:14:21
In your purview. 01:14:25
To extend the contractors, we've already approved the funds. 01:14:26
What is that process? 01:14:30
From my standpoint that would be in the. 01:14:34
In the. 01:14:37
Audit committees. 01:14:38
Or whatever we're discussing. 01:14:40
It would be within their discretion and that's why we're proving an up to amount rather than. 01:14:42
A specific amount. 01:14:47
Because that leads to some flexibility in the. 01:14:49
In the contract to add in. 01:14:52
Elements as needed. OK, I just wanted to make that clear because Jake mentioned he was happy about the reduction down to 45,000. 01:14:55
And I wanted you to be aware that it's. 01:15:03
Additional asking that came in that that discretion might open that back up to the original a lot of them out. 01:15:05
Is that something that the Council would like to discuss? 01:15:12
Under the 45, there's some room. 01:15:14
We are, we already have, but we're keeping it at the 45, not to the. I don't think we need to go above that right now, OK. 01:15:17
As long as we remain there. 01:15:24
I saw that it was. 01:15:25
If we had enough things come up that we felt like we were going to need to pass that number, I think it would have to come back to 01:15:27
council. 01:15:31
OK, so right now everything that you're talking about will not exceed. 01:15:34
Correct. OK. 01:15:39
Awesome. Any other questions for the Council? 01:15:41
Yeah. So just for clarification for the public. 01:15:44
The audit that we're working on will be going back. 01:15:48
Is it 2 years or? 01:15:51
FY23 and 24. 01:15:53
OK. 01:15:55
And and then you won't be combing through every single transaction in the city, you'll be taking more of a sampling. 01:15:56
Right, there's a few areas where. 01:16:02
We're looking at just because of the amount of transactions of the area. I want to say like. 01:16:05
RDA. 01:16:09
17 invoices so. 01:16:11
I'm going to look all of them. We are going to look at all of them. 01:16:14
I do appreciate in the contract. 01:16:18
Seeing the different areas you're going to focus on like the P card transactions and. 01:16:21
The employee traveler reimburse. 01:16:26
And I guess, and we've already did kind of already hit on this a little bit and Brett did too. 01:16:29
Just with policy recommendations. 01:16:35
What do you Is there like something that you find the most common? 01:16:37
Policy change or maybe failure in policy with cities? 01:16:43
It's mostly that it's it's not there again. 01:16:48
That the folks are worried about. 01:16:51
You know, paving the streets or. 01:16:53
Fixing a trail. They're not auditors. So when we come in, we're like. 01:16:56
Why are you doing it this way? And it's like. 01:17:00
What? My predecessor did it this way for 10 years, and this is how they trained me and told me it's like, well, yeah. Well, 01:17:04
where's that written down? Well, it's not written down. 01:17:07
Let me say, OK, probably be good recommendation for you to establish a policy. Write some of this stuff down. 01:17:11
Because that's the only way you can hold people accountable. 01:17:18
For the public. 01:17:21
To make sure that there's transparency, that this is how the city is supposed to be doing stuff. 01:17:22
So. And I'm gonna. 01:17:27
Tell you it's it's amazing. 01:17:29
Policies that That's low hanging fruit for an auditor in a big. 01:17:31
Entity like Salt Lake County. 01:17:36
Every audit. 01:17:37
That that we do. We do. 01:17:39
About 20 some odd audits a year. Every audit. 01:17:41
There's either missing policies. 01:17:44
Or they're they're not following policies that. 01:17:47
Things have kind of changed how they do stuff and. 01:17:49
We say you've either got to change how you're doing stuff, or you've got to rewrite your policy so they're in alignment. 01:17:52
So with a city like Vineyard. 01:17:58
And probably any city throughout Utah. 01:18:00
It's it's going to be similar because. 01:18:03
Folks are worried about. 01:18:06
Running the government they're not. 01:18:07
Auditors but. 01:18:09
Yeah. 01:18:11
Might seem a little scary and painful, but it's not. 01:18:13
That's not it's exciting. 01:18:16
Especially because we have new people coming in and we really want to make sure that there's this foundation here, I feel like. 01:18:18
Every year we've grown by so much and new policies come every year and it's really what our whole job is this. 01:18:25
Do we have enough policy? Do we have right fees? Do we have everything? So having an expert come in and detail that for us and 01:18:32
really make sure we're on a sure. 01:18:36
Foundation, I think is all right. 01:18:40
Is what we want. 01:18:42
I I just wanted to say one last. 01:18:44
Brett, I've been really impressed with all of your work on this. 01:18:46
You took on a big project and I. 01:18:52
I've been really grateful for your communication and. 01:18:54
I think it looks really great. 01:18:58
I love that we got the cost down I. 01:18:59
I'm really happy with our applicant or. 01:19:02
Not applicant the person that we're approving. 01:19:04
And, umm. 01:19:07
I just really think Brett needs that recognition. 01:19:08
Not that you need the recognition, I want to give you the recognition. 01:19:11
Grateful for your hard work. 01:19:15
Thank you. 01:19:16
Yes. And Chris, update your picture. 01:19:18
I will. I will update my. Which one are you looking at? It's all. 01:19:21
It's all I was writing in an elevator the other day and someone. 01:19:27
Read upon sign all these two and I hope 12 people and I was like yeah, or like 5 Hardings and they kind of looked at me because 01:19:31
that's a joke I would make when I was. 01:19:35
Twice the size and then get a chuckle, but they kind of looked at me. 01:19:39
Sorry. 01:19:44
Any other questions? 01:19:46
All right, all right, if there are no other questions. 01:19:47
I need a motion. 01:19:51
Thank you so much, Chris. 01:19:54
I moved to adopt Resolution 2025-41 authorizing the city manager to. 01:20:02
Execute an agreement not to exceed $45,000 for. 01:20:08
Independent audit services with CPA Insight solutions. 01:20:11
As outlined in RFP #2025-61-101. 01:20:15
City Council acknowledges that. 01:20:22
The audit engagement is intended to implement. 01:20:24
Not duplicate that. 01:20:27
I don't think that's written right. 01:20:29
Not duplicate the the work of the state Otter. 01:20:31
I think that that's right, David, because it's not. The engagement is intended to implement, not duplicate the. 01:20:35
Work with state auditor. 01:20:41
That's what we wanted to say. 01:20:44
What did you want it to say? 01:20:45
Because it's your motion. 01:20:47
I would say supplement. 01:20:48
OK, reread the last sentence. 01:20:51
The City Council acknowledges that the audit engagement is intended to supplement. 01:20:54
Not duplicate the work of the state auditor. 01:20:58
All right, we have a 1st 5 breaths. 01:21:02
Can I get a second? 01:21:05

I alright, that's excellent. 01:21:16
Just to wrap this up. 01:21:21
Was there anything that needed to be reported or anything that you were hoping to see on the next? 01:21:22
On future agendas, making aware of it. 01:21:28
I wanted to talk more about agenda timelines and. 01:21:32
The. 01:21:38
The amount of time we get. 01:21:39
The public gets to see the agenda. 01:21:41
I would like to consider. 01:21:44
Changing. 01:21:47
OK. Potentially even changing the dates of our meetings? 01:21:49
To help it work with stuff. 01:21:52
OK, great. 01:21:55
Anybody else? 01:21:57
No. Did you guys have anything to report on from your? 01:21:58
Positions, I'll just go again. 01:22:02
The Heritage Trail. 01:22:06
Nobody was super. 01:22:08
Thank you for everyone's hard work on that. 01:22:10
And then? 01:22:12
I got to go. 01:22:14
I forget what it's called. 01:22:16
A homeless tour walkabout. 01:22:19
Where I got to meet with other legislators and. 01:22:22
Members of different organizations within the county and I thought it was very, very. 01:22:27
This is very interesting and. 01:22:33
I just want to publicly thank. 01:22:36
Provost City and Utah County government. 01:22:39
For all of their hard work. 01:22:41
And I want to thank Vineyard for supporting that hard work to keep. 01:22:43
It's a big task that. 01:22:49
Provo in Utah County are working on. 01:22:51
And I know that. 01:22:54
Their hard work really helps our city stay safe. 01:22:55
And really helps the people struggling in these situations so. 01:22:58
