26 Nine Stormwater management code update. 2026-06-23 18:10:16
In the seam, I'm going to turn the time over to you to go over this. 2026-06-23 18:10:20
Of revenues to increase by that million it will allow us. 2026-06-23 18:35:59
To be in a very strong or stronger financial. 2026-06-23 18:36:03
Situation so that if we do have another Main Street road break. 2026-06-23 18:36:07
If we were to have last year. 2026-06-23 18:36:11
Much snow. We might not have had enough in our rainy day, right? 2026-06-23 18:36:15
Other things that that could have happened. So yeah, we didn't. We're not. 2026-06-23 18:36:19
Cutting the budget in this we are maintaining while the spending. 2026-06-23 18:36:23
Now the other things is we do not know in total sales tax. 2026-06-23 18:36:27
The type of increase we might see a dramatic sales tax. 2026-06-23 18:36:31
Increase because of Bella supermarket, but you don't really know that. 2026-06-23 18:36:35
How much more will that will increase? So instead of spending that. 2026-06-23 18:36:39
Holding the line of infinite pizza too. And Feeny's pizza and another thing. 2026-06-23 18:36:43
Things and so being able to see that, but also just just see it. 2026-06-23 18:36:47
Addition of the Public Works add-on and being able to. 2026-06-23 18:36:51
Say Vineyard does not need a City Hall for 10 to 15. 2026-06-23 18:36:55
Years down the road and we're not going to be going to taxpayers to be. 2026-06-23 18:36:59
Able to do that and reconfiguring that solution and being so innovative. 2026-06-23 18:37:03
Thank you. 2026-06-23 18:10:36
Assume the door Public works Director, so the public works department. 2026-06-23 18:10:40
Is presenting the a revision or update to? 2026-06-23 18:10:44
Our municipal code through amendment it's Chapter 7. 2026-06-23 18:10:48
08 and this is specifically. 2026-06-23 18:10:52
In regards to our stormwater, our stormwater management and. 2026-06-23 18:10:56
As well as enforcement on that, I wanted to definitely give to the. 2026-06-23 18:11:00
Credits to Patrick James, our assistant city engineer. Who's not? 2026-06-23 18:11:04
Who's not able to be here today as well as constantly? McDermott, who is in the back? 2026-06-23 18:11:08
There, who's taking on the role as the MS-4 coordinator as well? 2026-06-23 18:11:12
As well as our outgoing Ms. 4 coordinator who has. 2026-06-23 18:11:16
Been fully supported, helping support us through. 2026-06-23 18:11:20
Our updates. So in short, there we go. 2026-06-23 18:11:24
In short, I just want to always emphasize our. 2026-06-23 18:11:28
Our mission for public works about sustaining utensil services as well. 2026-06-23 18:11:32
Well as protecting. 2026-06-23 18:11:36
Citizens welfare and acceptable quality of life for this fall is definitely into the welfare. 2026-06-23 18:11:40
And the last thing I just want to say is. 2026-06-23 18:37:07
I just want to thank every department. 2026-06-23 18:37:07
Department head that worked with Parker and the main. 2026-06-23 18:37:11
Here and DK because I know. 2026-06-23 18:37:15
You know, we came in to council and we didn't do draconian cuts. 2026-06-23 18:37:19
Came and said, hey, we're four times the tax rate of Zoram. 2026-06-23 18:37:23
We've got to find ways. The vast majority of these came from their suggest. 2026-06-23 18:37:27
Or the mayor looking through saying, hey, is this, is this something we? 2026-06-23 18:37:31
We can do here. I also know with Brian being in just over. 2026-06-23 18:37:35
Over a month he is going to be going through and looking at the amount of cars. 2026-06-23 18:37:39
That we have those policies and. 2026-06-23 18:37:44
The last thing that I would just say, and I don't want me and the mayor disagree on quite a few. 2026-06-23 18:37:48
Things, in fact, we get heated quite a bit, but. 2026-06-23 18:37:51
Just a little bit to see a business owner come in in. 2026-06-23 18:37:55
Government were required to put forth to the voter. 2026-06-23 18:37:59
And say this is our budget for the year and. 2026-06-23 18:38:04
During this budget and all the efforts, I mean hundreds of hours of guiding to do. 2026-06-23 18:53:24
Welfare and follow your life out effects on that all these. 2026-06-23 18:11:44
Have been provided on our On the agenda for preview. 2026-06-23 18:11:48
By the Council and the public, so I won't spend much time on any of these particular. 2026-06-23 18:11:52
For thought but if any if anyone wants me to allow. 2026-06-23 18:11:56
On any particular point, there's five. Please do so. 2026-06-23 18:12:00
On that, but I thought this this graphic was very a representation. 2026-06-23 18:12:04
Representative of in terms of how important our stormwater management is. 2026-06-23 18:12:08
And where everything ends up into our wall. 2026-06-23 18:12:12
Drinking water. 2026-06-23 18:12:15
So moving forward. 2026-06-23 18:12:16
Wise as needed and short. It's needed because we do have a permit with the state. 2026-06-23 18:12:20
What we call our MS-4 permit. 2026-06-23 18:12:24
What MS-4 means because I keep forgetting it. It's municipal storm water separ. 2026-06-23 18:12:28
Stormwater and then that's kind of where I stopped on that one. So but. 2026-06-23 18:12:32
But it's a permit with through the state. 2026-06-23 18:12:36
Through the Department of Water Quality. 2026-06-23 18:12:40
On that. 2026-06-23 18:12:40
Staff, but also elected officials, and it's really, really speaks. 2026-06-23 18:53:28
To addressing the many objectives we have and we came in so I want to say. 2026-06-23 18:53:32
That I appreciate that the reduction is a great time. 2026-06-23 18:53:36
However, there was 1 project I think that we do need to look at. 2026-06-23 18:53:40
Possibly adding back in the small one there was a promise made to. 2026-06-23 18:53:44
The original residents of vineyards long ago that they would. 2026-06-23 18:53:48
Be able to remain on a country Rd. kind of a setting over. 2026-06-23 18:53:52
On Holloway Rd. through the course of the next took. 2026-06-23 18:53:56
Two decades that that their Rd. got turned into a arterial. 2026-06-23 18:54:00
Not really fault of theirs because the city failed to address transportation. 2026-06-23 18:54:04
Needs to go around it and and complicated the. 2026-06-23 18:54:08
The only other arterial that was available so they were promised that once the. 2026-06-23 18:54:12
Was made from 400 S or to Main Street so that we have a complete. 2026-06-23 18:54:16
Circuit available to them that Holdaway Rd. the only neighborhood. 2026-06-23 18:54:20
By the way, does not protect as an enclave or it doesn't at all. 2026-06-23 18:54:24
Only has a through St. that allows people straight through without. 2026-06-23 18:54:28
Any other obstruction? 2026-06-23 18:54:32
Was kept without, you know, without sidewalks because that was that was the intent. 2026-06-23 18:54:36
Associate Country Rd. We still have rural mailboxes you all have. 2026-06-23 18:54:40
It's because of that that we want to keep the promise to them and then and we. 2026-06-23 18:54:44
The idea was that we would help convert Holy Rd. into a bicycle roll. 2026-06-23 18:54:48
Which will allow it to be an extension of the sports park that's nearby. 2026-06-23 18:54:52
Allow for walking and running and bicycling that we see. 2026-06-23 18:54:56
Here all the time anyway and and make it a lot safer for the people who are there. 2026-06-23 18:55:00
And also reduce traffic to the normal amount you'd expect. 2026-06-23 18:55:04
In a neighborhood as opposed to this thoroughfare that links. 2026-06-23 18:55:08
That the north and the South end of our city. So now the connection. 2026-06-23 18:55:12
South, I would like to see that we add back in that $25,000. 2026-06-23 18:55:16
It's a very small amount, the 1%, you know, the capital budget. 2026-06-23 18:55:20
And just add a bank in between. Do a study. 2026-06-23 18:55:24
There to be able to make that happen. 2026-06-23 18:55:27
We think it can be done with the. 2026-06-23 18:55:28
Was, you know, very inexpensively and we'll certainly try not to use that budget in terms. 2026-06-23 18:55:32
Ordinance does In short, it's established. Excuse me, it updates our. 2026-06-23 18:12:44
Chapter 7.08 and consolidates everything into a single. 2026-06-23 18:12:48
Talking in regards to authority. 2026-06-23 18:12:52
Prep. 2026-06-23 18:12:52
Illicit discharge. Construction. Stormwater. 2026-06-23 18:12:56
Long term storm water of maintenance requirements inspections as well as. 2026-06-23 18:13:00
Enforcement. 2026-06-23 18:13:03
Almost and consolidate everything to single coach after. 2026-06-23 18:13:04
Kind of saying why are we doing this update? 2026-06-23 18:13:08
Because they told us to do it. 2026-06-23 18:13:12
At. 2026-06-23 18:13:12
After the state mandated. 2026-06-23 18:13:16
Key program areas. 2026-06-23 18:13:16
For this area, if anyone would like to, you know, go. 2026-06-23 18:13:20
To details, of course, if any resident or council member will. 2026-06-23 18:13:24
Like we are happy set up one on ones too for education. 2026-06-23 18:13:28
Separate from our public education efforts that we do throughout the year. 2026-06-23 18:13:32
Talked about let's the discharge construction stormwater and post construction stormwater. 2026-06-23 18:13:36
The benefits of Vineyard City is everything. 2026-06-23 18:13:40
Ends up into our into Utah Lake and what we were trying to do is improve. 2026-06-23 18:13:44
The quality of water that goes into Utah, so we are protecting all. 2026-06-23 18:13:48
We are natural resources, but our welfare. 2026-06-23 18:13:52
Our safety and welfare for because that's the water that we drink, then the day. 2026-06-23 18:13:56
So. 2026-06-23 18:14:00
With this ordinance, there is one administrative change I did my best to copy. 2026-06-23 18:14:04
Case the administrative change and to the ordinance we got. 2026-06-23 18:14:08
An e-mail this morning from the state with their. 2026-06-23 18:14:12
Suggestion in terms of an update? 2026-06-23 18:14:16
Ordinance that they would like to see done and of course that update. 2026-06-23 18:14:20
Does make sense and we made those changes to council on. 2026-06-23 18:14:24
Up there, we provide you the updated marked with what's updated. 2026-06-23 18:14:28
Really considered administrative change because it doesn't change the. 2026-06-23 18:14:32
Yeah. 2026-06-23 18:14:35
In essence that. 2026-06-23 18:14:36
The context of what the ordinance does. But as you can see. 2026-06-23 18:14:40
Back in the rest. But I think that's something we need to do this year still that promise. 2026-06-23 18:55:36
Our original residence council. How do we feel about that? 2026-06-23 18:55:40
I support it. Yeah. Yeah, I have a question. The scene. 2026-06-23 18:55:44
Do you know how far $800,000 would go? 2026-06-23 18:55:48
Towards that road. 2026-06-23 18:55:51
Towards which Rd. Toward the plan for not. Not a plan, but like actual implementation. 2026-06-23 18:55:56
Of a plan if you had to just take a rough estimate of maybe. 2026-06-23 18:56:00
Just like adding sidewalks the whole the way. Rd. for $800,000 yeah. 2026-06-23 18:56:04
Not talking about that. We're talking about simply drawing, you know? 2026-06-23 18:56:08
It's just a question. OK, that's fine. But that's not what this plan entails. Just so we don't. 2026-06-23 18:56:12
The plan. The plan is simply to create on the existing foot. 2026-06-23 18:56:16
Footprint, walking, biking trail as well as traffic planes. 2026-06-23 18:56:20
So. 2026-06-23 18:56:23
Let me see, Just rock. 2026-06-23 18:56:24
Yeah, I mean we wouldn't be redoing till at least. 2026-06-23 18:56:28
On that. So that would be flustered side. 2026-06-23 18:56:32
I think. 2026-06-23 18:56:32
It's specifically update revision to section. 2026-06-23 18:14:44
7.08.100 under Alyssa discharge. 2026-06-23 18:14:48
And connections. In short, it captures all the. 2026-06-23 18:14:52
Types of discharges in our permit and. 2026-06-23 18:14:56
States that these discharges are authorized underneath. 2026-06-23 18:15:00
Of inner cities MS-4 permit which is issued by the. 2026-06-23 18:15:04
Our next step after the adoption? 2026-06-23 18:15:09
This ordinance is to continue with our updating our city, Priscilla. 2026-06-23 18:15:12
Procedure as far as the standards, mostly with our contractors. 2026-06-23 18:15:16
To ensure that compliance is being met and continue. 2026-06-23 18:15:20
Implementation, but more importantly in bottom line to support. 2026-06-23 18:15:24
Still our compliance and water quality protection. 2026-06-23 18:15:28
So. 2026-06-23 18:15:29
Again, there was a on our newsletter. 2026-06-23 18:15:32
There was an awesome, awesome public education outreach in regards. 2026-06-23 18:15:36
Why don't why? Why stormwater protection of? 2026-06-23 18:15:41
And management, there we go. It matters and. 2026-06-23 18:15:44
I felt the need that it would be present for me to copy and paste that on here. 2026-06-23 18:15:48
800,000 you get the. 2026-06-23 18:56:36
I mean you. 2026-06-23 18:56:36
Look at doing. You could potentially do a full complete St. 2026-06-23 18:56:40
That's complete street is the road with like. 2026-06-23 18:56:45
Vehicle or traffic, bike facilities and trail access. 2026-06-23 18:56:51
Typically on that as long as the alignment doesn't change. 2026-06-23 18:56:57
In shorts. 2026-06-23 18:56:58
I have a idea. 2026-06-23 18:56:58
You had ****** the pitch so. 2026-06-23 18:57:00
So my. 2026-06-23 18:57:01
My third option budget, the one with the smallest amount of cuts that doesn't give. 2026-06-23 18:57:04
The library or the entire special events team? 2026-06-23 18:57:08
Reduces property taxes by 800. 2026-06-23 18:57:12
26,000. 2026-06-23 18:57:15
I would even be supportive of putting. 2026-06-23 18:57:16
Portion of that towards not only just the plan but also let's. 2026-06-23 18:57:20
Start a fund for implementation and if we could take some time to look at that. 2026-06-23 18:57:24
That see if you agree with some of the cuts I propose we could. 2026-06-23 18:57:28
See if we could get some of those things done because. 2026-06-23 18:57:32
So, and at the end, small actions lead to big impacts. 2026-06-23 18:15:53
That is my presentation. Awesome, thank you so much. 2026-06-23 18:15:57
Questions to Council for NASIM on this or. 2026-06-23 18:16:01
Anything regarding? 2026-06-23 18:16:04
This ordinance. 2026-06-23 18:16:05
OK, sounds good. So. 2026-06-23 18:16:08
Motion to seem we need to adopt an election as presented by staff, is that correct? 2026-06-23 18:16:13
OK, so can I get a motion on that? 2026-06-23 18:16:16
Real quick, just for the. 2026-06-23 18:16:21
College benefit if you see somebody. 2026-06-23 18:16:24
Saying something down a storm drain like paint or. 2026-06-23 18:16:29
Liquids. What would you do to? 2026-06-23 18:16:32
Make sure that doesn't happen with you. 2026-06-23 18:16:33
Sure. So if and again, Kinsley's here, she's a. 2026-06-23 18:16:37
She's more happy to talk specifics, but in short. 2026-06-23 18:16:41
We do on our website. We do have good report concerns. We also have. 2026-06-23 18:16:45
Have a phone number that dials to consider? 2026-06-23 18:16:49
There, so she gets to respond to those calls day and night. 2026-06-23 18:16:53
One year we might not be able to raise or lower property taxes, but if we use it on. 2026-06-23 18:57:36
Capital project, then we won't have additional ongoing expenses that we could. 2026-06-23 18:57:41
Lower the property tax. The citizens on this street followed the plea. 2026-06-23 18:57:44
The traffic calming procedure City put in place, they got up. 2026-06-23 18:57:49
Petition where over 85% of the people there that signed. 2026-06-23 18:57:52
An affirmative that they wanted to make this change and that they did not. 2026-06-23 18:57:56
And they stated they did not want a change to the sidewalks or the profile and. 2026-06-23 18:58:00
All they don't want that, they simply want their country Rd. back. So they were promised initially. 2026-06-23 18:58:04
And they also, and they've been willing to do it by by modernizing enough to. 2026-06-23 18:58:08
Be able to make sure that we mark a lane for for. 2026-06-23 18:58:13
Active transportation to take place, that that was the important part of this, that we said. 2026-06-23 18:58:17
Simply draw or paint new lines on a road. We're talking, you know. 2026-06-23 18:58:21
Frankly, if we would not just measure it to ourselves, it costs what, a couple grand for? 2026-06-23 18:58:25
Right. Yeah, I'm going to go. 2026-06-23 18:58:29
I don't think we need to survey anything else. I know. I'm sorry, City. 2026-06-23 18:58:33
Staff, I don't think we need a survey because it's because the road is already there, the curb. 2026-06-23 18:58:37
Clients are already there. The borders are what they are. 2026-06-23 18:58:41
OK. We should do it. Yep. All right. Jacob Wood, do you have any comments if you'd? 2026-06-23 18:58:44
To make 8.2 I'm comfortable. 2026-06-23 18:58:49
Moving forward with this, I appreciate staff working hard on it. OK, it's. 2026-06-23 18:58:53
Adding David Larry's little project and yeah, good workout. 2026-06-23 18:58:57
Thank you. I'm I make a motion. 2026-06-23 18:59:01
To approve the final 2026. 2026-06-23 18:59:05
2027 budget with the amendment that counts. 2026-06-23 18:59:08
Larae of the $25,000 for the Holdaway Rd. 2026-06-23 18:59:13
Bike Blvd. 2026-06-23 18:59:16
As the budgets been presented. 2026-06-23 18:59:17
By stuff OK, do I have a second? Second OK. 2026-06-23 18:59:21
We'll do this by roll call. Start with Jake I, Jacob Wood. 2026-06-23 18:59:25
David, Larae, hi. And Ezra. OK, thank you. 2026-06-23 18:59:29
All right, passes. OK, we're going to jump now to. 2026-06-23 18:59:33
3.3 Approve the fee waiver for the Latino. 2026-06-23 18:59:37
Special Event 9/19/26 Brian, are you still here? 2026-06-23 18:59:41
Yeah, you, you want to come up and. 2026-06-23 18:59:45
Explain that real quick. We're going to know. I want to know if Uruguay is going to be represented in. 2026-06-23 18:59:49
Party, that's a good question. 2026-06-23 18:59:53
OK. 2026-06-23 18:59:56
OK, so just to give a. 2026-06-23 19:00:01
Brief recap on this. 2026-06-23 19:00:04
There is. 2026-06-23 19:00:05
Is an applicant has requested that? 2026-06-23 19:00:09
We allow for a Latino festival at. 2026-06-23 19:00:13
Junior Grove Park on Saturday, September 19th this group. 2026-06-23 19:00:17
Group did the same event three years ago and they had about. 2026-06-23 19:00:21
2500 Wow attendees was a very popular. 2026-06-23 19:00:25
Event and so they'd like to come back and. 2026-06-23 19:00:29
And do it again. 2026-06-23 19:00:32
It would run from a. 2026-06-23 19:00:33
Approximately 12:30 until 9:00 PM. So they would have. 2026-06-23 19:00:37
Have a number of. 2026-06-23 19:00:40
Damn. 2026-06-23 19:00:41
Performances they'll have food, they'll have music about. 2026-06-23 19:00:45
20 vendors, 5 food trucks. 2026-06-23 19:00:48
They'll have a stage. 2026-06-23 19:00:49
They'll have 4. 2026-06-23 19:00:53
Portable toilets. 2026-06-23 19:00:56
And they'd like to use the Grove Park field. 2026-06-23 19:01:01
And with this event because. 2026-06-23 19:01:05
That is free to the public they requested for. 2026-06-23 19:01:09
A fee waiver. So we did an analysis on what that. 2026-06-23 19:01:14
Cost would be and just to break that down for you really quick. 2026-06-23 19:01:17
Small pavilion, $40 large. 2026-06-23 19:01:21
Pavilion 75 Special event permit it. 2026-06-23 19:01:25
Would be $100. 2026-06-23 19:01:28
And then the. 2026-06-23 19:01:29
Field rental is the biggest cost that one comes to just over 2500. 2026-06-23 19:01:33
Umm, just because we charge $60.00 an hour? 2026-06-23 19:01:37
Per field and we have 3 fields at Grove Park and that would be. 2026-06-23 19:01:41
From 8:00 AM until 10:00 PM. From set up all the way until Queen. 2026-06-23 19:01:45
So and then a $300 deposit so. 2026-06-23 19:01:49
In total it would be waiving 3035 dollars. 2026-06-23 19:01:53
So just wanted to pitch that to you as. 2026-06-23 19:01:57
Mayor and City Council, And is there anything else you wanted to add to that? 2026-06-23 19:02:01
I can share a little bit about. Yeah, sure. Please come on up. 2026-06-23 19:02:05
My name is Denisa Valdidiesto. I have lived in this community maybe like. 2026-06-23 19:02:09
Five years, maybe 6, and I do the night with my sister Shell. 2026-06-23 19:02:13
Police are at danger City residents we've been involved in. 2026-06-23 19:02:17
And bringing cultural experiences to the state of Utah for. 2026-06-23 19:02:21
Years we have partnered up with Thanksgiving Point. 2026-06-23 19:02:26
Do their Day of the Dead event at the Shasta River Woods for 10 years now. 2026-06-23 19:02:29
And just the residents of the city, you know, we feel like I don't. 2026-06-23 19:02:33
You know, almost kind of like we have the passion behind it obviously, and we understand. 2026-06-23 19:02:37
Importance of inclusion and bringing the community together and while. 2026-06-23 19:02:41
We're sharing our culture with the community, you know, just creating that sense of, you know, the. 2026-06-23 19:02:45
There's so many, there's such a big diversity in the state of Utah and. 2026-06-23 19:02:49
And for us, it's just an opportunity for us to just, you know. 2026-06-23 19:02:53
Not just share one specific culture, but there's so many countries are represented even. 2026-06-23 19:02:58
Within the city of Bengal city, and so three years ago. 2026-06-23 19:03:01
When we did it, we felt it was like a great success. There was so many people that. 2026-06-23 19:03:05
Came out and not only did they get to see, you know, that performance. 2026-06-23 19:03:09
Because they got to try the food but but fully like, you know, like live. 2026-06-23 19:03:13
We get the actual numbers. 2026-06-23 19:18:30
So. 2026-06-23 19:18:30
A big portion of the flex. So for example, depending on. 2026-06-23 19:18:34
What the revenues would be if it's in the 13 range or the 15 range, the difference? 2026-06-23 19:18:38
That that's going to make is how much can be spent on capital projects. 2026-06-23 19:18:42
Checks. That's really where the flex will come environmental. 2026-06-23 19:18:46
Remediation payments are currently within the capital expense. 2026-06-23 19:18:50
So you know if revenues are less than what? 2026-06-23 19:18:54
We anticipate it's just going to mean less for certain capital. 2026-06-23 19:18:58
Projects and probably the one that has the most flex. 2026-06-23 19:19:02
Back and forth is is ongoing environmental remediation and there. 2026-06-23 19:19:06
With a few other projects and capital expense that year over year. 2026-06-23 19:19:10
You know the project didn't happen in year 1 and so the money. 2026-06-23 19:19:14
Is saved rolled over. Maybe it happens in year 2, so. 2026-06-23 19:19:18
So you can kind of keep in mind some of those things as well. Oh yeah. Thanks Evan for. 2026-06-23 19:19:22
No one knows. That's the capital projects for the RDA fund. 2026-06-23 19:19:26
Check yep.com. 2026-06-23 19:19:30
I feel good about it. OK, comments, comments from council, uh. 2026-06-23 19:19:38
For Evan staff. 2026-06-23 19:19:41
I just went real quick. Roughly how much? 2026-06-23 19:19:42
Can we expect to be point the number again? That shows you how much we expect. 2026-06-23 19:19:46
Be paying or repaying contractors are working out there. 2026-06-23 19:19:50
That are working under a contract with us. This is for environmental remediation. 2026-06-23 19:19:54
Yeah, let's start with that. Yes. So right now. 2026-06-23 19:19:58
On the capital project plan, perform environmental remediation. 2026-06-23 19:20:02
Just 6,000,000 like an estimate. It's budgeted. 2026-06-23 19:20:06
6,000,000. 2026-06-23 19:20:09
Now it could be more, it could be less. 2026-06-23 19:20:10
But that's that's the number that's it's just. 2026-06-23 19:20:14
Sort of a bucket if you will, of in the past as we've. 2026-06-23 19:20:18
Anderson, Geneva They're like, look, we could do. We could clean up the whole side. 2026-06-23 19:20:22
Make it totally ready for buildings you know in. I don't know. 2026-06-23 19:20:26
Some, some really accelerated timeline right, five years, but. 2026-06-23 19:20:30
Would cost like $20 million a year of environmental remediation to get it ready that. 2026-06-23 19:20:34
Fast. So obviously we can't afford that in terms of. 2026-06-23 19:20:38
Revenue, we don't have 5 million, you know 5 or we don't 20. 2026-06-23 19:20:42
$1,000,000 a year. 2026-06-23 19:20:46
Across 10 years exactly. Yeah, they estimate it's. It's just probably. 2026-06-23 19:20:50
We're in the neighborhood of 100 million to get the. 2026-06-23 19:20:54
East side ready for redevelopment and you know. 2026-06-23 19:20:58
Streets like basically to go from what the east side looks like now. 2026-06-23 19:21:02
To subdivided lots, streets, all that. 2026-06-23 19:21:06
Ready to go? Probably 100 million. 2026-06-23 19:21:10
And that's probably. 2026-06-23 19:21:10
Likely to take place over the course about the next 15 years. 2026-06-23 19:21:14
I mean, right now we're on a trajectory of. 2026-06-23 19:21:18
Of between 3 and 5 million a year that we spent on environmental remedy. 2026-06-23 19:21:22
That's probably going to continue to be the clip, although they do have the ability to. 2026-06-23 19:21:27
You know, do more than that and as we have more increment, that's probably. 2026-06-23 19:21:30
Probably to place where we want to put it because that's the area that the quicker that's. 2026-06-23 19:21:34
Something valuable, It'll create more economic activity, higher value. 2026-06-23 19:21:38
Properties for property tax revenue, sales taxes, etc etc. 2026-06-23 19:21:42
OK. Thank you. 2026-06-23 19:21:46
Can I get some easy? These are so easy to cut. 2026-06-23 19:21:50
Proposals we love. Easy to cut, alright? 2026-06-23 19:21:54
Lobbyists 42,000. This is in contract services. 2026-06-23 19:21:59
The economic development activities that would be the. 2026-06-23 19:22:02
Kind of different organizations in RDA, but. 2026-06-23 19:22:07
Didn't we already cut the lobbyists? Nope, it's still in here. 2026-06-23 19:22:10
Document. I got the Hartley, the Hartley contract. Yeah, cut it. 2026-06-23 19:22:15
I thought that was already an idea. Budget away for that. 2026-06-23 19:22:18
Economic development activity 45,000 to get rid. 2026-06-23 19:22:23
Yeah, they've already been notified. They were. Yeah, we got to take it out. 2026-06-23 19:22:26
Right now. I'm sorry, I thought we sent that in. You can. 2026-06-23 19:22:31
Firearm. But if the budget still there, we could do whatever we want with it, I guess if staff could. 2026-06-23 19:22:34
At that point, so I just proposed, let's get rid of it. I thought you guys already got that it was. 2026-06-23 19:22:38
In the RDA budget, we, we said that it's oh, I guess. 2026-06-23 19:22:42
There are two places you have to do on both sides, OK. 2026-06-23 19:22:46
And I don't, I mean the City 1 still had it in there too so. 2026-06-23 19:22:50
One of the cuts I proposed in the city budget too is getting rid of that. So if we. 2026-06-23 19:22:54
I mean, it's just going to sit in fund balance if we can just all agree. 2026-06-23 19:22:58
So we could have lowered property tax by at least about 42,000. 2026-06-23 19:23:02
Anyway, 45,000 economic development activities. 2026-06-23 19:23:06
Does that workout for like $2.00 a house? Was that 42? 2026-06-23 19:23:10
Yeah. I mean I added it up to 16%, but. 2026-06-23 19:23:14
It could have been something. 2026-06-23 19:23:18
And then? 2026-06-23 19:23:18
The architecture for the downtown. 2026-06-23 19:23:22
Uh city facilities. 2026-06-23 19:23:26
And the structural design would be like another 50,000, so just. 2026-06-23 19:23:30
Producing contracts there. These are capital projects, so this would be contract services. 2026-06-23 19:23:34
So it'll be about 200,000. 2026-06-23 19:23:38
Certain 100,000 removed already. I got another variety from the Vineyard center. 2026-06-23 19:23:42
They're in the budget document I got so. 2026-06-23 19:23:46
Do you know? 2026-06-23 19:23:46
Chopping them, that was that we document Evan sent. 2026-06-23 19:23:50
Yeah, that those were. 2026-06-23 19:23:54
Held over from last year and that was? 2026-06-23 19:23:58
I thought that if they weren't spent, they so we have to go through and. 2026-06-23 19:24:02
Say cut that you're you're I would. 2026-06-23 19:24:06
Quickly your budget is saying I would love to your budget saying contracts. 2026-06-23 19:24:11
Services would be like 800,000 and I think the conversation here is. 2026-06-23 19:24:15
Does it have to be 800,000 because there's constituent? 2026-06-23 19:24:19
Portions of the contract services that add up to 800 that are unnecessary. 2026-06-23 19:24:23
Area so be kind of a reduction of contract services but. 2026-06-23 19:24:27
Historically, I don't know that we've spent all the money in contract service. 2026-06-23 19:24:32
And what we don't? 2026-06-23 19:24:33
Sand ends up rolling to other other priorities like increment, reimbursements, capital. 2026-06-23 19:24:40
Expense etc. Fully take away staff discretion to spend those without an action by the governing bus. 2026-06-23 19:24:44
I agree with that. I would just if there if it wasn't spent. 2026-06-23 19:24:48
Can we just do a across the board from last? 2026-06-23 19:24:52
Here we're removing all of that because I instead of going 1 by 1 to. 2026-06-23 19:24:56
I thought that was already done. I thought there was a lot of probably take a budget amendment. 2026-06-23 19:24:59
At this point, because he already passed the budget. For now, you haven't passed. 2026-06-23 19:25:03
We're proposing the budget, so perhaps what you could do is. 2026-06-23 19:25:07
Right now contract services total is 803,000. 2026-06-23 19:25:11
And you're, you're proposing, you know, upward. 2026-06-23 19:25:15
$1000 plus of contract services. What? How much? 2026-06-23 19:25:19
Total. 2026-06-23 19:25:22
100 and. 2026-06-23 19:25:23
27,000. 2026-06-23 19:25:26
So you know. 2026-06-23 19:25:27
Maybe to make it? 2026-06-23 19:25:27
Easy, just reduce it by 123, it'll make it around. 2026-06-23 19:25:31
Number. So then you could just pass the budget and say. 2026-06-23 19:25:36
Track services will be 680,000. 2026-06-23 19:25:39
Dollars even. Sure. 2026-06-23 19:25:43
But are we also eliminating? 2026-06-23 19:25:44
Those line items so that it's explicitly like the town hall. 2026-06-23 19:25:48
The line items really. 2026-06-23 19:25:51
Don't matter, art. 2026-06-23 19:25:52
Part per se of the budget. The budget action is. 2026-06-23 19:25:55
This high level schedule I see the line items are kind of made-up. 2026-06-23 19:26:00
Largely by the executive branch proposal as Haiti, right? 2026-06-23 19:26:04
OK, yeah, because I know the decision knows already to not do this. 2026-06-23 19:26:08
City Hall and I just didn't know that it needed to be removed. 2026-06-23 19:26:12
OK, so just lower it by 600,000 is? 2026-06-23 19:26:16
BY120320 down to 6682. 2026-06-23 19:26:20
OK. 2026-06-23 19:26:23

You already. 2026-06-23 19:28:08
For something like that, they are also able to call. 2026-06-23 18:16:57
The police dispatch, they're also able to call fire dispatch as well. 2026-06-23 18:17:01
Specifically police because if someone's actively doing. 2026-06-23 18:17:05
We do want to make sure that we are able to do the enforcement actions. 2026-06-23 18:17:09
After effects cleanup does cost money and we would like to make sure that the. 2026-06-23 18:17:13
The people doing it does pay for it if it's something that they see post. 2026-06-23 18:17:17
Action like so they didn't witness it happening but they see like. 2026-06-23 18:17:21
Like oil scenes and so forth. They're both during. 2026-06-23 18:17:25
Work days they're able to call the office, contact Public Works. 2026-06-23 18:17:29
We do have after hours during weekend nights and weekends. 2026-06-23 18:17:33
As well as fire department is trained in order to respond to those. 2026-06-23 18:17:37
Items as well and they do reach out we do have in our budget. 2026-06-23 18:17:41
For lifted discharge for large items, areas that we cannot do our. 2026-06-23 18:17:45
Ourselves to take care of as well, but if we're able to. 2026-06-23 18:17:49
Apprehend that they bad actors during the fact that. 2026-06-23 18:17:53
Who does help us ensure that those. 2026-06-23 18:17:57
Those people are being taken care of as well. 2026-06-23 18:18:00
Awesome. Any further questions? 2026-06-23 18:18:05
Great. Are we doing any social media on that? 2026-06-23 18:18:09
Like stormwater, we've done anything like that. 2026-06-23 18:18:13
As. 2026-06-23 18:18:13
I think we did some stuff this spring, right? Yeah, I think we've done a few posts. 2026-06-23 18:18:17
Over there. Yeah. And it was in the newsletter. 2026-06-23 18:18:21
The article they post on the news there was really awesome and kind of hit it. 2026-06-23 18:18:25
It goes to walk her away from the South side of the of the Vall. 2026-06-23 18:18:29
Right. And we lost 4 cows four years ago. 2026-06-23 18:18:33
In a week period and it does affect wildlife. 2026-06-23 18:18:37
And so downstream it really does affect so teaching people don't. 2026-06-23 18:18:41
For anything else makes wildlife and cows that. 2026-06-23 18:18:45
OK, I'm gonna have a new. 2026-06-23 18:18:49
I don't kill the cow, don't kill animal with. 2026-06-23 18:18:53
They do stay there, like they go to our wetlands. They do. I mean all of our. 2026-06-23 18:18:57
All of our streets, you know, deposited into our precious wetlands and our birds are in there. 2026-06-23 18:19:01
So you know. 2026-06-23 18:19:04
Alrighty. 2026-06-23 18:19:05
I will call for a motion on 8.1. 2026-06-23 18:19:09
I make a motion. 2026-06-23 18:19:17
To approve 8 business item 8.1 ordinance. 2026-06-23 18:19:21
2609 Stormwater management code update as presented. 2026-06-23 18:19:25
OK, second. Awesome. 2026-06-23 18:19:28
All in favor no. 2026-06-23 18:19:29
We roll calling this one so second by David Luray. Do we get that? 2026-06-23 18:19:33
And let's do this roll call. Ezra. Hi, David, hi. 2026-06-23 18:19:37
Jacob Wood, I am Jake I OK or. 2026-06-23 18:19:41
Passes. 2026-06-23 18:19:44
Alrighty, let's jump into 8. 2026-06-23 18:19:45
.2 the fiscal financial. 2026-06-23 18:19:49
Full budget. 2026-06-23 18:19:52
What? 2026-06-23 18:19:53
Let's do this, um. 2026-06-23 18:19:56
I'm going to turn the time over. 2026-06-23 18:19:57
To Evan, thank you so much. First Evan, for all the hard work you. 2026-06-23 18:20:01
Into this budget. 2026-06-23 18:20:04
Bottle long. 2026-06-23 18:20:05
A lot of long hours and and a lot of work has gone into this. I really. 2026-06-23 18:20:09
We truly appreciate this and all staff. It's been great. So you want to. 2026-06-23 18:20:13
Walk us through any final adjustments. 2026-06-23 18:20:17
We made. 2026-06-23 18:20:20
Yeah, Thank you, Mayor. I'm just trying to bring this up. 2026-06-23 18:20:25
Up here so we can. 2026-06-23 18:20:28
Walk through the presentation. 2026-06-23 18:20:29
And very similar presentation to what we had when we. 2026-06-23 18:20:33
I just bumped my mouth. 2026-06-23 18:20:36
Added a cool thing there. 2026-06-23 18:20:40
I had the same summary presentation, just with the changes that we. 2026-06-23 18:20:45
You know the updated numbers from what we did when we had the 10. 2026-06-23 18:20:49
Budget and there haven't been. 2026-06-23 18:20:53
Large. 2026-06-23 18:20:53
Changes to that that you'll see in here a few expense. 2026-06-23 18:20:57
Since item changes and. 2026-06-23 18:21:01
Little bit on the revenue side that we won't go so far into, but there were. 2026-06-23 18:21:05
Couple of items on the grants that were removed related. 2026-06-23 18:21:09
The two items on the CapEx list that were removed. 2026-06-23 18:21:13
And largely, that was the big change. 2026-06-23 18:21:17
As well. 2026-06-23 18:21:17
Was not drawing on anything from the beginning fun. 2026-06-23 18:21:21
Balance of the general fund. 2026-06-23 18:21:25
To start out. 2026-06-23 18:21:25
Year so. 2026-06-23 18:21:29
Largely every. 2026-06-23 18:21:29
On this every actually everything on this sheet is is the same. 2026-06-23 18:21:33
But I can pause on some of these if there are questions about. 2026-06-23 18:21:37
The revenue. 2026-06-23 18:21:40
Forecasted tax revenues. 2026-06-23 18:21:41
Revenues from permits and fees. 2026-06-23 18:21:45
And then you've got. 2026-06-23 18:21:45
Other. 2026-06-23 18:21:48
As well as that roll in here. 2026-06-23 18:21:49
Again, we've got our pie chart. Things didn't change. 2026-06-23 18:21:57
Change a whole lot here from the the slices of the pie. 2026-06-23 18:22:01
And if you're seeing this for the first time? 2026-06-23 18:22:05
Police and fire, our public safety, you know, are the largest. 2026-06-23 18:22:09
Of our our budget and and is for the way for most. 2026-06-23 18:22:13
Cities as well, and so in fact for all cities that I know. 2026-06-23 18:22:17
And we're we're proud to invest in that in, in the public safety. 2026-06-23 18:22:21
The one change here I want to point out. 2026-06-23 18:22:25
The tentative budget. 2026-06-23 18:22:28
Is it that fire? 2026-06-23 18:22:29
Budget has dropped. 2026-06-23 18:22:33
Significant amount, I want to say it was about 180,000. 2026-06-23 18:22:37
That sound right? But this is yeah, more. 2026-06-23 18:22:41
So what that entails is. 2026-06-23 18:22:45
Not a a decrease in our level of service, but. 2026-06-23 18:22:49
When we. 2026-06-23 18:22:49
Built the the fire department, the brick and mortar. 2026-06-23 18:22:53
Apartment here there was an overage of of costs by about. 2026-06-23 18:22:57
220,000 if I remember right and. 2026-06-23 18:23:01
The Orem paid for on our behalf and then they were charging it back. 2026-06-23 18:23:05
Back and so they were kind enough to to. 2026-06-23 18:23:09
Finance that for us at 0% interest over 5. 2026-06-23 18:23:13
Years so. 2026-06-23 18:23:16
We're able to reduce that cost that's hitting us. 2026-06-23 18:23:18
This year in the budget and and it's sort of spread over. 2026-06-23 18:23:21
The next four years as well. That was the big change here. 2026-06-23 18:23:25
And we appreciate that partnership with. 2026-06-23 18:23:29
OK. 2026-06-23 18:23:33
Our capital projects list I've I've. 2026-06-23 18:23:37
Changed the the layout here based on some feedback from the. 2026-06-23 18:23:42
First time. Previously we just had everything bulleted out. 2026-06-23 18:23:45
It listed the amounts, but what was missing there was which fund. 2026-06-23 18:23:49
These are coming out of and what what department, so I've listed that out here. 2026-06-23 18:23:54
And largely same things are here as we're here in the. 2026-06-23 18:23:57
Tentative budget we just had. 2026-06-23 18:24:01
The things removed that we discussed. 2026-06-23 18:24:02
Before that were related to delineation. 2026-06-23 18:24:05
Wetlands There were some things with bike park and the. 2026-06-23 18:24:10
The area that's north of Gammon Park and and. 2026-06-23 18:24:14
Those were removed from from the budget based, you know that that we discussed. 2026-06-23 18:24:18
In prior meetings. 2026-06-23 18:24:20
We've got. 2026-06-23 18:24:21
The items from the general fund. The impact fee fund. 2026-06-23 18:24:25
We've available this down here. It's not a separate fund, but the rap tax and the your grant. 2026-06-23 18:24:30
That that's called out separately, largely. 2026-06-23 18:24:34
Because of the skate park that's a. 2026-06-23 18:24:38
Fairly hefty expense. 2026-06-23 18:24:41
That was approved before and we. 2026-06-23 18:24:42
Have a grant from your that's that's covering half of that. 2026-06-23 18:24:46
The next sheet we've got things labeled from the trans. 2026-06-23 18:24:50
Rotation Fund. Wastewater fund. Water Fund. 2026-06-23 18:24:54
And instead of reading through all these, since they're largely the same, I'm just. 2026-06-23 18:25:02
Letting you look at these. 2026-06-23 18:25:05
And holler if you got a question on it. 2026-06-23 18:25:06
And the last? 2026-06-23 18:25:10
She has has things listed for the RDA and again those are the same. 2026-06-23 18:25:14
As in the tentative budget. 2026-06-23 18:25:18
Fund overview and again you can see the track. 2026-06-23 18:25:26
Things were tracking over the last several years. 2026-06-23 18:25:29
Expensive. 2026-06-23 18:25:30
Revenues coming up a little bit on that this year. 2026-06-23 18:25:33
The way. 2026-06-23 18:25:34
Water Fund. 2026-06-23 18:25:37
Expenses come down. 2026-06-23 18:25:38
Revenues up a little bit. 2026-06-23 18:25:41
The stormwater. 2026-06-23 18:25:42
Fund is is always one that that's. 2026-06-23 18:25:45
To operate in a bit of a deficit. 2026-06-23 18:25:50
And so. 2026-06-23 18:25:50
That continues on this year. 2026-06-23 18:25:53
Transportation Fund. 2026-06-23 18:25:57
We've talked before about the. 2026-06-23 18:26:02
Removal of that, that tough. 2026-06-23 18:26:05
Earlier in the year. 2026-06-23 18:26:09
And. 2026-06-23 18:26:10
That's tracking. 2026-06-23 18:26:14
Our internal service fund. 2026-06-23 18:26:18
Down a little bit this year. 2026-06-23 18:26:21
About. 2026-06-23 18:26:22
Higher than it was in fiscal year 24. 2026-06-23 18:26:25
And these are the items. 2026-06-23 18:26:26
In the internal service fund. 2026-06-23 18:26:29
Revenue. 2026-06-23 18:26:30
Largely showing what's coming in from from other funds. 2026-06-23 18:26:34
And the administration facilities fleet. 2026-06-23 18:26:38
Information systems and human resources are are the main things there. 2026-06-23 18:26:42
Some of the some departments will have. 2026-06-23 18:26:46
Have specific IT expenses if they know. 2026-06-23 18:26:50
Getting a new computer or specific software. 2026-06-23 18:26:54
Like Adobe licenses and things like that, but most of it is resides in the. 2026-06-23 18:26:58
This main bucket. 2026-06-23 18:27:01
And that's it. We move through that fairly. 2026-06-23 18:27:06
Really quick, but again, awesome. Thank you. Very similar to tentative budget. 2026-06-23 18:27:10
OK, I will open this up to council for discussion. Chat about this. 2026-06-23 18:27:14
Again, thank you for your hard work on the Seven. Really appreciate it. 2026-06-23 18:27:18
I'd like to go first. 2026-06-23 18:27:22
I can go first. Yeah, go ahead. Want to thank staff. I know it's been tough. 2026-06-23 18:27:26
Dealing with, you know, we just hired you, Brian, a couple weeks ago. 2026-06-23 18:27:30
And then a couple months ago and you guys have been dealing with a lot of turnover. 2026-06-23 18:27:34
Thank you for for everything you've been able to provide when you've been able to provide it. 2026-06-23 18:27:38
It's been incredibly helpful and. 2026-06-23 18:27:42
Helping. 2026-06-23 18:27:42
Me review and and kind of make suggestions. 2026-06-23 18:27:46
And proposed changes to this I do have. 2026-06-23 18:27:50
Some suggestions I know. 2026-06-23 18:27:54
A lot of the members of this Council have expressed the desire. 2026-06-23 18:27:58
To, you know, reduce property taxes so. 2026-06-23 18:28:02
Considering that I decided to put together. 2026-06-23 18:28:06
A few different options for budget proposals that that would reduce. 2026-06-23 18:28:10
Property taxes provide a meeting. 2026-06-23 18:28:14
Cuts to the certified rate, which would in turn lower property taxes. 2026-06-23 18:28:18
For our citizens. 2026-06-23 18:28:22
And I wanted to get. 2026-06-23 18:28:22
Some options I don't believe in just showing up to you. 2026-06-23 18:28:26
A budget and voting no because I don't like it without proposing. 2026-06-23 18:28:30
Alternate solutions. I know we have to. 2026-06-23 18:28:34
Establish a budget by the end of the month. 2026-06-23 18:28:38
So we do have. 2026-06-23 18:28:38
You know, one more Tuesday where we could potentially continue this if we wanted. 2026-06-23 18:28:42
Another week to adopt the budget. 2026-06-23 18:28:46
By by that June 30th deadline, with next Tuesday being that 5th. 2026-06-23 18:28:50
5th 5th Tuesday in June that we normally don't meet but we could. 2026-06-23 18:28:54
Set up a meeting if we wanted to do that. 2026-06-23 18:28:57
Umm. 2026-06-23 18:28:58
So I'd love to take some time to review this a little. 2026-06-23 18:29:02
A little bit more and. 2026-06-23 18:29:06
See where we can maybe? 2026-06-23 18:29:06
Have some consensus on some of the cuts that I'm proposing in a few of the different budget options. 2026-06-23 18:29:10
And you know, I presented. 2026-06-23 18:29:14
Three different ones that I just posted online to the public and I'll send you guys a copy. 2026-06-23 18:29:18
After this meeting if you're interested, but I don't want to. 2026-06-23 18:29:22
Have you guys waste your time on it if the rest of the council isn't? 2026-06-23 18:29:26
Supportive of at least exploring it. So that would be my invitation to see if. 2026-06-23 18:29:30
We could at least explore it and take some time to review it and see where we might have. 2026-06-23 18:29:34
Consensus. 2026-06-23 18:29:37
I don't feel worried. 2026-06-23 18:29:38
Be curious to hear exactly what your library plan is. 2026-06-23 18:29:42
Having just. 2026-06-23 18:29:42
Awarded anyway, Go ahead. 2026-06-23 18:29:46
Sure. I proposed 3 different budgets. 1 was. 2026-06-23 18:29:50
The most drastic? 2026-06-23 18:29:53
Cuts that they kind of mimic. 2026-06-23 18:29:54
You know, there was a lot of talk about how Vineyard has the highest taxes in all of Utah County and. 2026-06-23 18:29:58
And we need to make sure that doesn't happen, so I tried my. 2026-06-23 18:30:02
To see what I could try to do to make that as well as possible. 2026-06-23 18:30:06
And try to make us at least the most competitive with other cities within our county. 2026-06-23 18:30:10
And part of that included a lot of drastic cuts, so. 2026-06-23 18:30:14
One was proposing to to cut the entire library entire. 2026-06-23 18:30:18
Programs a lot of those services that. 2026-06-23 18:30:22
Love personally, I think our great benefit to the community, but if we're. 2026-06-23 18:30:26
Are going to have a real conversation about what it's going to take to reduce property. 2026-06-23 18:30:30
Taxes. That was just a proposal that I. 2026-06-23 18:30:34
Had suggested that when. 2026-06-23 18:30:34
Allow us to keep a lot of our other operations. My favorite proposal. 2026-06-23 18:30:38
Of the three is the third one that I that I suggested which? 2026-06-23 18:30:42
Didn't cut the library, didn't cut Parks and Rec, but it also had. 2026-06-23 18:30:46
Much lower property tax or a much smaller property tax deed. 2026-06-23 18:30:50
Increase so the kind of harsh cut version I was looking at was about. 2026-06-23 18:30:55
A 26% cut in property taxes the. 2026-06-23 18:30:58
Much more mild, one that I think is very doable but doesn't cut the line. 2026-06-23 18:31:03
Library or rec programs is only a 16% cut. 2026-06-23 18:31:06
And property taxes so. 2026-06-23 18:31:09
Two options if people are serious about. 2026-06-23 18:31:11
Hey, the larger cuts, I mean, 16% isn't really going to make. 2026-06-23 18:31:14
You know, the lowest in the entire county. Still a long ways to go. 2026-06-23 18:31:18
To be the lowest in the county, I think we'd have to cut by like at least 50. 2026-06-23 18:31:23
Percent so I was trying my best but. 2026-06-23 18:31:26
There were just too many services that I didn't want to cut. I thought these would. 2026-06-23 18:31:30
Substantially affect us in the long term as far as just providing. 2026-06-23 18:31:34
The basic government services to people. But if we want a bare bones government, if we want to kind of. 2026-06-23 18:31:39
Eliminate all of the things that we love and see as a. 2026-06-23 18:31:43
Community and I would even argue have an outside. 2026-06-23 18:31:47
Impact on you know our community fabric and just. 2026-06-23 18:31:51
Helping our citizens be invested in our community. 2026-06-23 18:31:55
But that are harder to kind of tie a direct ROI to. 2026-06-23 18:31:58
Enter stuff that you know doesn't necessarily need to be provided. 2026-06-23 18:32:03
Provided by the government. The government doesn't have to be the end all be all solution. 2026-06-23 18:32:07
All problems we could not provide these things and look to. 2026-06-23 18:32:11
The private sector or nonprofit groups to to to stand it up. 2026-06-23 18:32:15
With donations or with other, you know, business communities get. 2026-06-23 18:32:18
You're not particularly serious about eliminating the library. 2026-06-23 18:32:22
Now I would prefer option 3, but option 1 was. 2026-06-23 18:32:27
The the 26% cut was more to align with you. 2026-06-23 18:32:31
Made it clear that I'm just an appointed council member and that the voters. 2026-06-23 18:32:35
You guys. So I thought, hey, why don't we look to some of the promises that that you guys made to vote? 2026-06-23 18:32:39
And see if I can mimic that to try to kind of establish. 2026-06-23 18:32:43
Some credibility here as a council member instead of I wouldn't count it. 2026-06-23 18:32:47
A little lower. I wish counting taxes were lower. Be nice to apply the same prison. 2026-06-23 18:32:51
I'm pretty comfortable with the budget. I know Parker and the mayor and. 2026-06-23 18:32:55
And staff have worked really hard on this. I appreciate that. Well, how much money are you saving for? 2026-06-23 18:32:59
From previous year, do you know how much money you were at 1.2? 2026-06-23 18:33:03
Million from the previous year. 2026-06-23 18:33:06
I should have that ready and I. 2026-06-23 18:33:10
Right in front of me. Negative. How many dollars? 2026-06-23 18:33:15
To compare that. 2026-06-23 18:33:18
I can get my while you're looking for that, I can give you my comments so I. 2026-06-23 18:33:23
Give you a by department number, Yeah. 2026-06-23 18:33:26
Per five of them for the. 2026-06-23 18:33:27
Top five. 2026-06-23 18:33:30
So there's cuts of planning of two. 2026-06-23 18:33:31
185,604 Parks is cut. 2026-06-23 18:33:35
160,742 Public Works. 2026-06-23 18:33:39
This cut 120,117. 2026-06-23 18:33:43
The Manager budget is cut 89,717. 2026-06-23 18:33:47
And the building department cut 48,800. 2026-06-23 18:33:51
I. 2026-06-23 18:33:55
I would love my comment. Yeah, please go ahead. 2026-06-23 18:33:59
Serve in government for 20 years. 2026-06-23 18:34:07
Being the largest auction service in the country. 2026-06-23 18:34:11
And getting rid of assets and. 2026-06-23 18:34:15
Knowing when governments cut and figure out when they don't hit the budget. 2026-06-23 18:34:19
So seeing the finances. 2026-06-23 18:34:22
Vineyard. 2026-06-23 18:34:23
Are rainy day funds were depleted? 2026-06-23 18:34:27
Extremely depleted by a recommendation we're supposed to have certain. 2026-06-23 18:34:31
On six months of reserve, three months some of our reserves. 2026-06-23 18:34:35
Certain accounts for six weeks 4 weeks. 2026-06-23 18:34:39
This budget will replenish all of those. 2026-06-23 18:34:43
Rainy day funds and I'm excited to see a budget by budget where those all. 2026-06-23 18:34:47
Are #2. 2026-06-23 18:34:52
With. 2026-06-23 18:34:52
Which is incredible that the mayor is not sharing. It needs to be the high. 2026-06-23 18:34:57
Highlight, which is the previous council proposed doing a. 2026-06-23 18:34:59
For 40 million to fix our City Hall problems. 2026-06-23 18:35:04
Public Works has proposed in addition to the. 2026-06-23 18:35:07
Public Works building to do an addition and. 2026-06-23 18:35:11
We're paying for that in cash without bonding. 2026-06-23 18:35:15
And we're holding the line on the budget, which is incredible, so. 2026-06-23 18:35:19
We are not going to the residents to ask for 40 million to fix our. 2026-06-23 18:35:23
Problem by doing that this. 2026-06-23 18:35:28
Gives us another year to get the rainy day funds now by. 2026-06-23 18:35:31
Holding the line if you follow the what the city has done. 2026-06-23 18:35:35
Year over year we increase between 700. 2026-06-23 18:35:39
Point 2 million in revenue just because of growth sales tax. 2026-06-23 18:35:43
Property tax, whatever it may be, we go up by about a million. 2026-06-23 18:35:47
Dollars annually, so by just holding the line with the current. 2026-06-23 18:35:51
