City Council - Regular Meeting

We have a lot of luxury goods. Oh, somebody gave them an Air Maze tie.

He's coming home with a $100 tie. Wow.

Closed meeting. Is it regarding litigation? Litigation, property acquisition, and deployment of security systems. All right, so we're... Our motion would be to go into closed session for litigation, property acquisition, and security measures. Is there a second, or is there a motion?

So moved.

Motion by Tasha. Second?

I'll second.

Second by Brynn. Tasha, how do you go? Yes. Brynn? Yes. Fred? Yes. Catherine? Yes. All right. And that meeting will be here in this setting. And for the record, the meeting, the closed session meeting will be here in the council conference room. Is that what we call this room? The administrative conference room in Draper City Hall, where we are all presently located. We are not moving our bodies. We are staying in this conference room for the record.

to click to the next page, please. This is a graphic summary of some of the main points of Draper Days. In the upper left-hand corner, you'll see the figure 41,000. 41,000 represents the total number of Draper Park visits during Draper Days. That breaks down to about 6,000 visits on Thursday, about 11,000 on Friday, and approximately 24,000 on Saturday. If you remember on Friday, we had an early – we had a dismissal for 30 minutes and came back. 41,000 is about 5,000 visits fewer than in 2025. So 41,000 is a little light compared to what we were in 2025. Below that – We see the breakdown for the origin of the visits. Draper City represented 39% of all visitors. Sandy about 18%, Riverton 5, Harriman 3, Lehigh 3, and South Jordan 3. Draper City at 39% is about the same as what it was last year. So we did not see an increase nor decrease in the percentage of Draper residents attending Draper Days. 41,000 people attended Draper Days. We talked about where they originated from. Directly below that is a list of the activities that took place at Draper Days. So this is what people were doing during their visits. Our pie baking event was larger than ever before. We had 72 applicants for that. We had 18 community stage performances. We had three daily stunt shows. 17 park activities and attractions. We had standing room only at our bingo game and we had a well-attended car show. In the center column, we had $255,000 in total revenue that we took in as a result of Draper Days. That represents about $102,000. In sponsorships, the figure next to that, that represents the increase from our 2025 number. So our sponsorships increased by about 16%. We took in about $68,000 at the rodeo. That represents about an 18% increase. $68,000 we took in from vendors at Draper Park, about a 26% increase over 2025. We took in about $12,000 in our sporting tournaments. That represented about a 30% drop in our income. The parade was about 30% over our 2025 numbers, and our draper idols remained about the same. We had two sold-out rodeo performances. Our parade, we had about 86 parade entries. This year, we introduced a no candy throwing rule that was well-received. Our sponsorships and handshake, 54 total sponsors supplied the $102,000. The medium sponsorship was $1,000 with the average sponsorship of about $1,900. We had three anchor sponsors, those three sponsors. sponsors together provided about a third of our total 102,000 in sponsorships. Those three sponsors provided $35,000. That was Columbia Bank donating $15,000, Water Pro donating $10,000. And the third one escapes me. Columbia Bank, Water Pro, and the hospital, Salone Peak Hospital. Thank you, Kelly. With vendors, we had about 178 vendors participating in Draper Days. Vendors are critical to the success of municipal festivals. Vendors are one reason why people attend to purchase food and handmade products. Vendors also are a major revenue source for Draper Days. We had 80 handmade vendors, about 25 food vendors, about 69 business vendors, and four government vendors. A survey was conducted after Draper days of all vendors of those respondents, 78%. 5% of vendors described rape days as moderately varied or extremely successful for their businesses. 5% said the event was not successful. 63% indicated they would probably or definitely return. For this year, 2026, we introduced the Drone Show, an inaugural event. which was well received below the drone show. We had 345 number of volunteer assignments that represents about 928 volunteer hours that was donated at Draper Days. And we had about 1,500 hours of staff overtime.

If you would.

This is our Draper D's expense and income statement. At the top, you see our expenses. In 2020 and in 2026, we had $425,000 in expenses. From what we spent in 2025. That represented about a 7% increase. In our total expenses for Draper days. Below that. If you look at the income. The second half. Our income this year was $253,814. That is about $36,000 increase from what we had in 2025. So we took in about a 17% increase in income. That was, again, $36,000 in increase. If you go down to the very bottom on the left, it says city subsidies. So that is the money that we've got to give to support Draper Days this year. The city subsidy would be $171,609. That is an $8,365 decrease from last year. That represents almost a 5% decrease in the subsidy that the city puts into Draper Days each year. So our expenses showed about a 7% increase again in our expenses. Our income showed about a 17% increase Over on the right, just some facts. A list there of the top 10 major expenses for Draper Days. The top expense for Draper Days at about almost a little less than $60,000 was the stage for Draper Days. So that's the largest expense. Diamond tent, fireworks, Circle J as the rodeo contractor. The three stunt shows, the drone show, the Utah inflatables, you can go down the list. The last two are the main entertainment acts for Draper Days. Below that is a list of new expenses. These are expenses that we incurred for Draper Days 2025 that, again, are new. Part of these were a result of the new layout, barricade rentals, The water truck for the rodeo, normally the water truck for the rodeo is provided by a sponsor. So normally Wadsworth provided that. This year they did not. So we had a water truck for the rodeo, the LED wall at the rodeo, rodeo trick rider, the shade tents at the rodeo, the striping service, flooring.

David, that shade tents, sorry to interrupt you, but that was a last-minute thing that we had to order those because of... The extreme heat, right?

That's correct, Council Member Lowry. That was recommended by the fire department because of the extreme heat warning. So we reacted to that and ordered those tents. The rodeo detail, as you can see on the expenses, third one down, the rodeo went up quite a bit, went from $37,967 in 2025 to $76,710 this year. That represents a $38,000 increase, almost doubling the cost of our rodeo. If you look at the rodeo detail on the right, Road expenses increased $38,000. Three new expenses for the rodeo, $17,000 for the LED board, $4,600 for the water truck, $7,000 for the shade awning. Those three... New expenses accounted for 83% of the $38,000 increase for the rodeo. So those three items took up the majority of it. You can also see at the bottom the top 10 rodeo expenses, starting with Circle J, who was our rodeo contractor.

Can I ask a quick question? Yes. That LED wall, was that a rental or was that a purchase?

That was a rental. Okay. That was a rental. That was the cost for the two-day rental. We conducted a staff recap shortly after Draper Days where we had representatives of the Parks and Recreation community, events, the police, fire, and risk management. This is a recap of the major items that we discussed. I'm happy to go through these items with you. Any questions I can answer? from the information that I just reviewed.

Questions? Doesn't look like any. Thank you for putting together the data for us. You're very welcome. It was a good, successful Draper Day.

Awesome job, David.

The stage orientation change I thought was fantastic.

Yeah, we had a lot of positive feedback on the new layout. The feedback we received, the public liked the larger concert room. The public also liked the proximity of the food vendors. So it was well received.

I think on that, I agree. The only feedback I got was because it was new, people weren't sure where to sit for the fireworks. And so some people, you know, didn't have a view like they thought they were going to have for...

Yes, and I think that's well taken. It was new for all of us, so we all learned a lot. The drone show was exciting. So the drone show was exciting.

That was great. Any other comments?

I would say I loved the police and fire presence. I know they're always there, but I thought it was wonderful the way the police and fire used it as an opportunity to work positively with the community. Lots of my children and all their friends all wanted to go and see them, and I thought that was a really positive part of it as well.

Maybe less pies in the... Oh, but those were good pies. That's a lot of pies.

We're searching next year for more revenue streams. So we're looking for more activities to monetize and bring in more income. So that's our focus.

All right. Thank you, David.

Thank you. Thanks, David.

All right. I'm going to call our city council meeting to order then. We're a little bit past seven. First... First item we have after the call to order is our Pledge of Allegiance, and Council Member Dolan is going to lead us in the pledge. Please rise. All right, thank you, Catherine. The next item on our agenda is general public comment. We have a few items on our agenda that are set for a public hearing. Item 5A, B are both public hearing items. If you're here for one of those items, we ask that you wait to make your comment if that's what you want to comment on those items, so when I call those. Is there anyone here that would like to make a general public comment? I have one card. I think, is that you, sir, Shane Manwaring? Come on up if you would. The way we do it here, if you haven't done it before, give us your name and address. That starts the time. You get three minutes. You don't have to use them all, but if you do, the buzzer will go off and your turn will end. It's an opportunity to make general public comments, so go ahead and give us your name and address.

Thanks, Mayor. Shane Manwaring. My address is 15175 South 1800 West in Bluffdale. So it's kind of like West Draper, South Riverton area. I always refer to Bluffdale, South Riverton because we do our business in Riverton. I'm running for sheriff of Salt Lake County, and I just want to take the opportunity to come introduce myself. I'm married. We have five children. And I spent 30 years in the best leadership school that ever existed, and that was the United States military. I retired last July from the Utah National Guard. I came out as a full bird colonel. And the biggest unit I was ever in charge of, we were in Afghanistan in 2019, 2020, and it was 2,995 people. That's a real number. It seems like we could have found five more people to go with us to make it an even 3,000. The biggest budget I ever managed was that same deployment, $300 million. But those are federal dollars, and they don't always make sense. I've been in law enforcement for 23 years. I work for a local police department. I'm a lieutenant. And the thing that I've, the reason I kind of got into this race was I started realizing I was our watch commander for the last year. I'm actually back in the precinct. And I started realizing that our jail is not functioning correctly. The times I've been at the jail in the last six months, I've been there for over 90 minutes with a combative prisoner, and we got prioritized in front of everybody else. And so there's a definite problem right now. And so one of my biggest goals is to be the best partner that Draper's ever had. And what that looks like is Draper police officers should be in Draper, not in South Salt Lake. And so one of my first goals is to fix it so that our officers are there less than 15 minutes. The next thing that's really in jeopardy right now, as I get down to one minute here, is right now public safety is in jeopardy because the jail cannot hold prisoners. And for me, the jail isn't about punishment. The jail is about changing behavior. And right now, the jail doesn't hold those folks that need to be checked and be accountable for what they've done. And so they never get the opportunity to actually change. And so that is my second big goal is to fix that jail so that we can actually hold prisoners. All my social media is Shane, the number four sheriff, because that sounds more like Bluffdale, right? And the fours. So, Shane, for sure, please check me out there and follow me. And thanks so much for your time. Ten seconds to spare.

Thank you. That was good. You don't want to be the politician who gets buzzed at the meeting. That would get on somebody's social media. All right. Thank you. Is there anybody else who I can make a general public comment? Seeing no further general public comments, I'll close that portion of the meeting and go to item 4, which is items for consent on our calendar. Item 4A is approval of the September 1, 2026 City Council meeting minutes. And item 4B is approval of Resolution 2644. It's a resolution reappointing Alan Taylor as member of the Draper City Building Board of Appeals. Is there a motion?

Mr. Mayor, I motion that we approve the consent calendar.

I have a motion by Brin. Is there a second? I'll second. I'd second by Tasha. Is there any further discussion? Hearing none. Brin, how do you vote? Yes. Tasha? Yes. Catherine? Yes. Fred? Yes. Items approved unanimously four to zero. I will note for the record that our fifth council member, Mr. Michael Green, is away at a military school and not present in the meeting today. That takes us to item number five. which are items for council consideration. Item 5A is a public hearing, Ordinance 1738. It's an ordinance approving the Exchange Development Agreement for approximately 2.15 acres of property located at approximately 14068 South, 145 East, within Draper City. We'll have a staff report by Jennifer. Go ahead, Jennifer.

Great, thank you. So this property is within the Exchange Office Park there off Bangor Parkway, about 140 South. It is the... Sorry. It's the last remaining piece of property within the development that's vacant. It is within our community commercial, our regional commercial land use designation and our regional commercial zoning designation. Charles Moss is very, very... Trigger happy today, yeah. Okay, sorry about that.

It's like National IT Day, too.

Okay. Okay. So there's a couple different... So there are... They're requesting a development agreement in order to build a building that matches the existing office park. The buildings that are there predate our current code, and there are several items that are non-conforming to our current code. So the first request in the development agreement is for an increased building height. The CR zone has a maximum height of 45 feet. 60 feet. There is a building within this center that also has a similar height to this building here. Building F was approved with a conditional use permit for, I think it's like 56 and a half feet or 56 and a half feet. So just shy of the 60 feet. Back then, additional building height could be obtained through a conditional use permit. That mechanism has been removed from the code. and that's no longer an option. But there is buildings already that tall in the center. The next request in the development agreement deals with architectural materials. They are requesting to have tilt-up concrete, EFIS, and corrugated or ribbed metal panels as primary materials. The code list lists the exposed concrete and concrete tilt-up and EFIS as secondary materials. and prohibits corrugated sheet metal that is something we see uh as as accent materials uh quite frequently it is on the existing buildings within the the center architectural facade articulation the code has very specific horizontal and vertical standards you know every so many feet you have to have some kind of variation. They're asking to have variations compatible with the existing buildings versus the strict code compliance. Parking lot landscaping, the existing center does not have any parking lot islands in the head to head parking rows, which our code currently requires. There is also a portion of the parking lot that has tree diamonds currently. Our code also does not allow tree diamonds. They're requesting to eliminate landscape islands and head-to-head parking rows and They've put language so to allow them to have tree diamonds but not require it so they do have that option if if They they need to have that additional landscaping in there parking numbers so the office park does have shared parking amongst all of the the lots when the existing buildings were built our code had a 25% mid max range The code currently has a 10%, so they're asking for that 25% mid-max range. They're not proposing to change the base parking number, which is a four per thousand amount. And they are requesting concurrent review, so that would be site plan and building permit being reviewed at the same time. This is similar to what we did with the Smith's property, where there's specific standards of At least having that first review on the site plan completed prior to building permit Submission that way we know that the building's not going to change and it's going to be where it's at and then the Building permit cannot be issued until site plan is approved Then I do have a concept here it's all shared parking and cross access aisles on the property and This is an image of the existing buildings within the office park This building is that four-story that is almost 60 feet in height And then this is their concept elevation so you can see it matches the existing buildings Staff is recommending approval of this planning commission reviewed it last week and recommended approval on a five to zero vote and And then happy to answer any questions. I know the applicant is here as well as representative of the proposed company. The proposed company is purged through GO-ED for funding and incentives through GO-ED to come to Utah. So happy to answer any questions.

Jen, just to clarify, the exterior of the building is going to match the existing buildings in the development? Correct. Okay.

Yeah.

So they'll have that same mountain-y?

Yes. And the existing building, so this is the metal panels that they're requesting. So they'll do a tilt-up concrete with some facade articulation. But yeah, they'll be matching the existing buildings.

About the parking diamonds, what's the reason why they want to keep that in as an option? You don't want parking diamonds. Because I'm kind of against parking diamonds.

Yeah, and you can ask the applicant for clarification. There are some parking diamonds already in the parking lot here as well as on the office building to the south. So there are already some there. I think there's some concern that if these End up coming out as they're doing their construction They may be able to put them back in they may not so they don't want to have to have to put them in if if it's not going to work And along with the parking landscaping did that change any of the landscaping requirements not having the islands and the head-to-head parking so what did What it does is the development agreement doesn't change the minimum amount of landscaping required. It does not eliminate landscape islands at the ends of parking rows. It eliminates requirement for islands from head to head, so where they're adjacent. So our code would say you have to have a landscape island right here. They are proposing one, a small one here, but not here. So the development agreement would require your end cap landscape islands, but not the center ones. And the rest of the development also does not have center islands.

Any other questions for Jen? Are the applicants here?

I'm sorry, Mayor. Real quick, the 60-foot height, is that they need to have that 60-foot height to make this work?

They do. So the 45-foot height, you're looking at a three-story building. So some of the buildings in the complex are three stories here. Our code does allow for a little extra height for architectural features, kind of like this little curved accent above the entryway. To get a fourth story, you need additional height, and they do need that fourth story.

So is that 60 foot or the top of that arch? The architectural?

The 60-foot would be to the top of the parapet. And then our code would allow architectural features like the arch or screen walls for mechanical equipment on the roof, that kind of thing, to go up to 14 feet. And that is for all commercial zones, regardless of the height standard.

But the existing one that's almost 60, does that have an additional 14 as well? Or does that include it?

It would be to the parapet wall. I don't know how tall the arch is.

Any other questions for Jen? All right, thank you. The applicant, are you here? You can come up and address the council if you'd like to. Come on up. Just give us your name and address and go ahead.

I'm Jason Prisbila. My address is 2733 Lord Hill Drive in Holiday, Utah, and I'm here with Brett Wyatt.

Yep, hello. My address is 1644 East Everglade Lane, Gilbert, Arizona, 85298.

First off thanks so much for mayor and council and staff for having us tonight Nothing, but an amazing experience with staff and their support navigating this process and their support Just as a quick intro My name is Jason with Woodbury corporation a local family company real estate development company and this project where I'm representing Woodbury and our partnership with a group called Hunt Companies out of El Paso, Texas, another multi-generational family real estate development company. And together we're Sunset Ridge Development Partners and we're the master developer for Falcon Hill at Hill Air Force Base. And so in 2008, this partnership was awarded the master development of the 550 acres at Hill Air Force Base, where we mostly specialize in office and specialty facilities for government contractors and defense uses. And so we were introduced to Rincon Research Corporation looking to expand into Utah. And Brett will give a better introduction of Rincon and their company. And we were introduced to them as we have experience in these types of facilities. so our process is we actually had a pretty loose requirement to be almost anywhere in utah so we started pretty far north pretty far south and probably toured over 60 properties several month process and what rose to the top was this site in draper really loving the look and aesthetic of the current park and so that's one reason some of these variances are so we can match the park And loved, you know, being near the point of the mountain near both Utah County and Salt Lake County and Woodbury. We've got a lot of experience in projects in Draper and knew they'd be supportive and a good city to work with. So I'll turn the time here to Brett to introduce his company and their expansion into Utah.

Thank you so much. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, City Council. Great opportunity for me to share with you Rincon research and address any questions that you have relative to our business. So next slide. Let's see. Do I do that here? There we go. Okay. So I wanted to share with you our mission, values, and the vision of the company. So we are an employee-owned company. We're about 400 individuals. And we are focused on providing innovative solutions to our government customer. we want to do that through technology. Enabling freedom and prosperity through technology is our ultimate vision. From a value perspective, we really want to focus on our customers and our employees. Being that we're an employee-owned company, we really embrace creativity and technology and working as a team to stretch our imaginations in order to do more for the world. So a little bit more about Rincon. So we are a national defense research and development company. We focus and specialize in radio frequency analysis and systems. We solve very difficult problems as it relates to RF, and it ultimately works within signal intelligence. And that is what we embody and focus our primary attention on. We were founded in 1983 by Dr. Parker. He was the first individual to ever demonstrate RF time frequency in space. And so as I mentioned, we're 400 people right now on our way to 550. We're in four states, Arizona, Colorado, Virginia, and Florida. And again, we are an ESOP that is 100% vested the first hour of service by employees. These couple of pictures, these are some of our antennas that we utilize for our radio frequency. The bottom one is out at our Colorado facility in Centennial, and that is a 6.1-meter dish, which is very significant in size. That is not what we plan on bringing to Draper, just for awareness. Here's a little bit of a look at the structure of our company. Diana Foley, she is our CEO and president. She's headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. Myself as the vice president and CFO of Rincon Research. And then our organizations and how we're structured. Our five properties are right there with Tucson being our current headquarters, Centennial, Colorado Springs, Chantilly, and Palm Bay, Florida. And we currently occupy about 200,000 square feet across these buildings. Two of them we own and the others we lease. And we occupy, of the five, the entire buildings, except for Chantilly, we just occupy one floor. To kind of bring you into a little bit more about what we do as a company, As many of you may remember, there was an Artemis II mission that took place in April where it was the first crewed flight that took off and to go on to a moon mission ever since Apollo. And so Rincon was able to prove that we were able to track the spaceship as it crossed the dark side of the moon. And we are one of the only companies that have ever been able to do that. And so it was a NASA mission that we were successful in. And that was in April of this year. And going a little bit more, so why are we so interested in Draper? Well, there is a lot to offer. Draper has so much to offer from in the middle of this great metro area. And so talent from a strong talent pool perspective, the universities nearby, there's a significant amount of graduates, computer scientists, engineers, data scientists, all with local ties and focus on wanting to be here in the Salt Lake area. So we can have year-round recruiting with the universities and working together. We currently work very closely with some of the universities, one of them being BYU in this area, and then also with the University of Arizona we have very tight connections with. And that is what we plan on bringing um, to the Draper area. Also the quality of life is really appealing to engineers, outdoor recreation, affordable living, great schools, all within proximity of families. And so there are limited barriers to entry, mostly our barriers besides just making sure that this building is going to, um, be exactly what we need to operate in. Um, and then also just the general business environment is very friendly and we're focused on, um, all of these great things that the Salt Lake area, Draper area can provide us. So we are very excited about coming. A little bit more and in summary of overall what Rincon, again, we are an ESOP company. We are a fully 100% and since 2011 employee owned and operated. And it is our direction and it is our mission to remain Employee owned and so our culture is all about people and purpose of of what we do So again defense contractor we are very discreet Defense contractor and security is to our core. We we are Really focused on that as a defense company As mentioned we were awarded a significant tax incentive by the governor's office and we look forward to bringing Additional spend and income to the state The Draper facility is a purpose-built facility that will help us develop R&D currently and into the future for our government customer. We plan on bringing at least 125 jobs, if not more, of very highly skilled engineers and scientists to the community. And again, we really look forward to partnering with all of those in the community and bringing high-paid jobs and some additional technology opportunities to the area. So any questions?

You left off one of the great qualities of Draper, which is the mountain bike and trails. So, you know, hopefully your engineers will get out.

They do. We're actually, we're intending to build an indoor bike facility so that we can have them store their bicycles inside and be able to bicycle anytime they need to.

Excellent.

Is your plan then to occupy that entire building? The entire building, yes. 37,000 square feet.

Do you have any, would you have the need to install any of those type of satellite things on the roof, or will the roof just stay clear?

There will be small antennas on the roof, small as in no wider than six to eight feet, and they'll be screened so that no other locations can look down and see those. So the CCNRs require screening.

Yeah, and I'm happy to clarify a little on the height that was discussed. So from the exterior, it will actually appear to be a three-story building up to parapets. We're finishing design, but around 49 feet. Where we need the additional height is that canopy area. We actually intend to do some occupied space under that canopy, which triggers the four-story. But from ground level, it will appear to be kind of like the three-story building. Building next to it and it won't be taller than the the four-story on the other side and so that was one reason for the exception is they do have antennas up there and need access from the roof and So that was the reason for that ask

Well, thank you. Depending on how this vote goes, we'll be welcoming you to Draper here in a minute. We like to think we're a business-friendly community, and we have a lot to offer. We're in a really good location. Our city's well-run, safe, low-crime, all the things that folks look for in a community. So we strive to do those things to draw companies in like yourself. So it's exciting to have you looking at Draper. So thank you. Any other comments or questions? All right, this is a public hearing, an opportunity for the public to weigh in. Ordinance number 1738. Is there anyone from the public that would like to address the council on this item? All right, seeing no public comment, I'll close the public hearing and bring this back to the council.

Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a motion to approve Ordinance 1738.

I have a motion by Ms. Lowry to approve Ordinance 1738. Is there a second?

I'll second.

Second by Ms. Johnson. Any further discussion on the motion? All right, hearing none, Ms. Lowry, how do you vote?

Yes.

Ms. Johnson?

Yes.

Mr. Lowry? Yes. Ms. Dolwin?

Yes.

That item is approved unanimously four to zero. Welcome to Draper. That's official. There you go. All right. Item 5B is next. It's a public hearing resolution 2646. It's a resolution amending the adopted budget of Draper City for fiscal year 2026-2027. Mr. Veit, go ahead, sir.

We are here for our first budget amendment for fiscal year 2027. There are 12 items that are on this budget amendment. I have put together a little summary here of what those kind of look like. You can see it's a large dollar amount, but as I go through it, you'll understand that we're really only increasing the general fund budget by $39,000, $21,000 of which comes from fund balance and $18,000 that comes from some additional revenue sources, those being two grand. that we have received. Some of the fund balance that we're going to use is a reappropriation of funds that were already approved in previous years that have no longer, that have, So the budget has expired, but we still have the projects that need to continue forward into this fiscal year. So I'll just go through these items quickly. If you have questions, stop me anytime and ask away. So our first is a repair that needs to be done, sewer line repair at Rotary Park. We've done some repairs, some patchwork repairs on this a couple of times already. And it hasn't worked, so it's really time to bite the bullet and do this properly. So we're requesting $11,000 from Fund Balance to be able to go in and make the changes to that restroom at Rotary Park. Second is a donation that we received a couple of years ago for trees. We've been holding on to this donation, trying to figure out where to plant the trees and how to plant those trees. We have an agreement with Salt Lake County to be able to give them the money, and then they will do the planting of the trees at Weedon Farm Park. And so this budget amendment approves reappropriating those funds that we receive from the donation from the fund balance, and then you'll have a contract that will come to you with Salt Lake County to be able to transfer those funds. The fire department has received two grants. The first is the Ready, Set, Go grant, and that is for $15,000. There's a $750 match, which will come from grant from fire department current revenues, I mean current budget, not revenues. And so we are recognizing the revenue associated with that as well as setting up the operational expenses. for the fire department to be able to meet the terms of that grant. They also received a $3,000 donation from Enbridge Gas. And so again, we are recognizing the revenue associated with that and setting up the operational expenses for that grant. Fleet has some vehicles that they're in the process of purchasing that we thought would be purchased in fiscal year 26, but they were not. So we have close to a million dollars that needs to be reappropriated so that we can continue with the purchase of those vehicles. And so that is what that budget amendment is, is just taking those funds that we thought we would have spent in 2026 and appropriating them into 2027. We had received a grant for the master plan for the transportation master plan update that amount was a hundred and twenty thousand dollars we've we've done some initial work on that and now we have the final cost so there's some costs that the city is going to need to bear to be able to put that plan into place so we're requesting a hundred thousand dollars to make that complete and we'll pay for that through the transportation impact fees Item seven is the pumps for what was originally called Pump Station 2. We are now calling it the Centennial Pump Improvement Project. We received a $2 million grant that we will receive into the water fund to be able to go forward with not just repairing the plant, but making some of the upgrades that are necessary for making that work. pump station usable, not just now, but into the future. We purchased a camera truck a few years back. They've been going out doing some scans of the stormwater system. As they do that, they find some systems that are broken and they're asking for some funding to be able to go in and be able to make some of the smaller repairs that they're seeing as they're scanning some of these projects. And so stormwater has some fund balance and they're requesting $100,000 be set aside for these smaller repairs. Item nine is it's actually some seed money to get us started on building a retention basin, not a detention basin. Sorry, I typed up wrong there. Along Pioneer Road, along Fort Street between 132nd and Pioneer. And so this is really kind of to do some environmental studies as well as to possibly begin some of the negotiations for property that will be necessary to build that retention basin. And then item 10 is we received some federal funding for a portion of the Fort Street improvements. And this is... helping us to complete that. And we are going to request $100,000 from transportation impact fees to be able to work on that. And that's for an environmental study. Last two projects, every year we set aside money for sidewalk gap projects. We've gone out and identified that there are actually two additional areas where we need to complete some sidewalk gap replacement. And so we're asking for an additional $100,000. We fund that through the local highway option fund. That's a separate fund that we received that allows for maintenance of sidewalks. And so we're going to, again, use some fund balance from there to be able to complete those additional projects. That will bring the total amount that we are going to be doing for sidewalk gap replacement to $360,000. And then lastly, in the budget, we approved the addition of three firefighters for the fire department. As we set up the budget, we put all of the expenses that we had budgeted into personnel expenses. Some of those expenses that we had set aside were actually for some operational things, some equipment, PPE, and other things that are needed associated with those new firefighters. So really we're just taking money from their personnel budget and moving it to their operational budget so that they stay good on those individual line items. And that is all of the items on the budget amendment. Happy to go over any of those. I'll go back to that summary page if you have questions.

Questions for Mr. Veik. All right, thank you, sir. This is a public hearing. Item 5B is resolution 2646, resolution amending the adopted budget at Draper City for fiscal year 2627. Is there anyone that would like to make public comment on this item? All right, seeing no public comment, I'll close with public comment and bring this back to the council.

Mr. Mayor? Yes, sir. I make a motion that we approve Resolution 26-46.

A motion by Fred, is there a second?

I'll second.

Second by Brent. Any further discussion? Hearing none, Fred, how do you vote? Yes. Brynn?

Yes.

Tasha? Yes. Catherine?

Yes.

Items approved unanimously, 4-0. That takes us to Item 5C, which is an action item. It's Resolution 2646. It's a resolution disposing of surplus personal property in accordance with Draper City Municipal Code 3-31-150. Mr. Veit, go ahead, sir.

This really is just an action item. We're bringing to the council some of the vehicles that we have that are going to go to auction. Any vehicle that we sell because it's above our threshold needs to be approved by the council. So we have quite a few vehicles within our solid waste fund with the closing of that fund that will be going to auction. And so you can see the list of vehicles from solid waste here. And then we have other vehicles from general fund and other vehicles. funds that are also old these are older vehicles that are going out to auction because they've been replaced so we're just approving the list so that fleet can move forward with getting those to auction so we can take any of the money that is received there is put back into the fund that originally purchased those vehicles so any questions

And just so I understand, the 2025, 2024, 2026, those we are putting to auction because we're no longer in the garbage business, basically.

Correct.

Okay.

Any other questions? All right, it's an action item. Is there a motion?

Mr. Mayor, I move that we approve item 5C, resolution 26-47.

Motion by Brinzer, second.

I'll second.

Second by Catherine. Any further discussion on the motion? Hearing none, Brynn, how do you vote?

Yes.

Catherine?

Yes.

Tasha? Yes.

Fred?

Yes.

That item is also approved unanimously, four to zero. I think there was, before a motion to adjourn, there were some council manager items. Mr. Barker, you had one? Go ahead.

We received a letter from the state tax commission today saying that we, our truth in taxation process was approved, so the tax increase that the council passed. has been approved. It took a lot of work, a lot of sweating, a lot of tears, and the process is not easy, and so I just want to thank John and his team and Nicole for putting that together. Feedback I got, I participated in a league call with all the cities that had proposed tax increases and And one of the common themes was the amount of work it took to document the processes and show the Tax Commission that we had crossed every T and dotted every I in state code. Unfortunately, there's eight of our fellow cities and towns that did not pass again this year. for a variety of technical reasons. And so it's, we sweated bullets. We were confident in our process, but until we get the letter, it's, you know, it was kind of a, Cool, clammy hands time of the year. So we're just happy to report that it went through, and we will keep an eye on any legislative changes that come up in the next session and make sure that we, not saying we're raising taxes next year, but we will always comply with the law and do our best to stay on top of that. So I just wanted to make that report.

Mr. Cooley, you had an item as well.

I can bring that up anytime. It's not an urgent thing.

Do you want to go over it now?

I'm okay either way.

Okay. Do you have anything else, Mr. Barger? I don't. Thank you. Catherine? Tasha? No.

Greg? No.

Chief? Chief? Anybody else?

I did have one thing.

I was sitting at the getting my nails done the other day and the woman next to me was talking to her friend about what an amazing time her kids had at the fire thing last week. And she said it was the best one they'd ever been to. Her kids left with little hats and that it was just awesome. So that's super well received by the community. So thank you for that.

All right. I'm awaiting the final motion.

Mr. Mayor, I move that we adjourn.

All right. A motion to adjourn by Catherine. Is there a second? Second. Second by Tasha. All in favor of adjourning this meeting, say aye.

Aye.

Are there any opposed? All right. We are adjourned.
