City Council - Regular Meeting

Hello, John. We're here. It is time for said meeting to begin. I'm calling it to order.

Welcome, everyone. Hate all that banter.

Looks like we have a need for a closed session. No.

No. That's just gonna show up on the on the agenda in case we need it. Okay. Alright. And then then

then now we're going to have a a special event committee arena committee presentation by

miss Kelly. Or just a discussion, really. Good discussion. Okay. I I just need some direction on the special event arena committee. So they've had they only have, like, five members that are valid current right now, two of which come. So they have two members. They have four members that are expired, so they think maybe two of those wanna renew. So they're looking at, like, a committee of, like, four to five people. So we're just trying to decide if we can, if you guys want us to if if we wanna keep them, or is there is there a reason that we're trying having a hard time finding members? Because they're they don't have this much to do. They do the rodeo, the horse boat, and the monster truck, and then they've been helping at the holiday market.

Yeah. They signed up for the holiday market.

Well, I think there's, like, a couple that

are are planning on it.

Yeah. Because I know they've enjoyed doing that in the past.

So, I mean, I talked to David today. He said, you know, we can look at if we wanna, you know, try utilizing the arena more, we can bring on, like, a demo derby car show, maybe concerts. But then you also run into, like, just David will cut them in with to do a bunch of more events. And what's the budget like? You know, we could bring food trucks back there one evening since we paid for that nice awning. They were helping with that, but now they're

not doing that. Kinda what happened to Kelly, if I can just interject real quick, where they were really involved as a committee. And and you can interject anything you

want does Doug's talked to you about. But

when we were doing the food trucks and all of that stuff, and they were energized by all that. And then when we moved in, which they all understood the reason. It makes more sense out there. But I think they lost some momentum because it's

park for the food trucks. But, of course,

who we signed with, they didn't

want it. They don't need anybody. You know? So I think

there was a lot of momentum lost where they didn't really feel like they're needed.

So, yeah, there's, like, there's, I mean, two or three

And then we have volunteers, then we have them come, then we have a lot of staff that's already there helping.

To do that job, there was an arena committee that didn't do anything, but because we're trying to have events at the facility. But it doesn't make any sense to have events that aren't making any money. I mean, I'm not thinking we too if we could just make kind of a welcoming events committee. Right now, community engagement has 11. There's a couple more I could see dropping off.

We could maybe get to the 11 number at some point. Right? And put them both together. Because engagement really does. Cinco de Mayo arts and crafts. I mean so I think we're we're losing some of them also just because we're not doing as much. It used to you know, when it

was diversity, it was a

little more focused than But you'd have to change the code if you had more than eleven. Yeah. We can't have more than eleven unless we change

the code. But Well, is that hard to do?

How many people are there's 11 active right now.

On the community engagement, there's 10 pretty active. There's maybe two that would probably say they could be done. So Nine really active. Work. Right? Because you don't have two that are really active.

I have, yeah, like, three that are really ready

to keep going on the arena. So we

could almost get it to Who do you

have listed as the three that are active?

I have and Ben, and then Mark is expired, but he's he he wants to continue. Yeah. Mark's been great. Yeah. So I have those three that seem really engaged. Stefania, Ben, and Mark. And then then I have step Stephanie and Oliver and Katie that we we need to see if they wanna renew. And Stephanie,

you know, she's been really helpful involved. She lost a lot of momentum with the new group stuff, and she'll be great. And Katie haven't been made privy to. I've heard that there's been issues, but no one's discussed

them with me, so I don't know how

to address it.

No. I mean and then there's some other cities like, I know, Herriman. They just hire a guy to run the rodeo. He does the sponsorships they did. So then gets the volunteers so that if we took that away,

I'm not against combining them. I'd be against just dismantling it and just telling those that have

been part of it to

And maybe not have I mean, it's kind of a lot of work too to have the committee with doing the agendas and the minutes. And, I mean, if we could make it this more of a non, you know, quasi committee that helps in the summer or something.

Well, if we're doing an a new committee, we could just ask everyone to reapply for it

even if they're Yeah. We that. That. To

be we'll

I think Kelly's right. Think some people with engagement,

there are some that we

haven't really seen in the last few months. And I do think if we're changing kind of the direction, there might be people who are really excited about the welcoming and kind of engaging multicultural, you know, identity. And if that's not the only focus,

there might be

people who, you know, don't want to just

yeah.

Mental work than just what maybe some they could have a cover against all of it.

And then get rid of the special event arena. And you

could maybe have people who you know, if there's a volunteer sign up, maybe they only sign up for the arena events because that's what they're passionate about,

And

I think it makes sense to Fred's point to put people in charge.

We've had an issue with that have problems, that'd be helpful for me to be aware of it so that I know if there's something that I can help address. So maybe Mary, can you share with me one on one later or something? Think it's only

draft it so you make exceptions. Okay. Okay.

So that's the direction. Do you feel

like you have your direction to check for the bathroom? Yeah. Okay. Next item is mister Cooley.

We've been trying to get in this room for, like, six hours. So now it's your

He should've ran. Let me put him on.

He ran. He really wanted to be

in this room. He's come in a couple of different times. Go ahead. Yeah. You never know.

So he's gonna hit consumer or major road construction improvement. Came up as to why we put concrete barrier out here. We actually discovered I can't remember if I covered all this with you before, but we discovered that we have a water line then we also made some drainage improvements on 700 West. Now that pretty much completes what we did this year.

Then all decided they didn't want it done. So it wasn't it was a

you know, so if we're gonna do it, we're go back out and find out. Because now there's a whole slew of new neighbors that can't figure out why we haven't done it yet.

Mhmm. We did some of it. Right? Yeah. We

never really kicked off the project.

I thought we were, like

We do you know parts. This is a little bit of the drainage issue that we were trying to solve. So there's been pieces here and there, but not actually widening. Okay. So previously, I we talked about adding sidewalk or a trail to one side for the whole lane.

And so we've wanted to run this by you because our big project that we were planning on doing next year isn't I'm gonna cover it in just a minute, but it's not gonna happen this next year in 2026 because of you. So we're trying to get some of these projects teed up for next year to be able to do. This is one that we could try to get in that queue.

Do we have funding for

sidewalk on one side.

It'd be silly. Gotta spend more and then But

if but if the neighborhood doesn't want

the widened road, should keep the money out of there and

do it where someone wants it.

Does it merit widening? Like, is it at failure?

I so there's not a lot of traffic on Seven Hours. Right. So that's the thing is there is a collector road, but there's there's just not a lot

of traffic. Right. So I don't know that it needs way. But I do think people want the sidewalks for safety. I mean, that's what we hear over and over again.

That's also a better side of the road because when I walked it a few weeks ago, and the east side with the development, they haven't put in any trees or it's just just gravel and rock. And so that side is better. It's more comfortable walk. Right? Because you can get shaded.

Are there safe places to cross? Sidecar on the side of the road to make sure we have a safe crossing to the new park.

Are there sections of the road that are heavier traffic, like, at the junctions of, like, a

100 Yeah. Definitely on each end.

So, I mean, would it have we looked into just maybe

strengthening those areas, widening those areas?

Because I agree. I think the the main section of the road doesn't have a lot of traffic, but does it back up as people are trying to get onto those main roads?

I don't see a lot of backups on here. I think that the road width is adequate. It's just

We talked about having the full sidewalk one side and then maybe a path on the other side. Is that an option?

It is, but it's not it actually doesn't cost much less. It's maybe $2,030,000 dollars. Restricted in that way. I wouldn't wanna do this, though, if we're gonna

do a full road project.

I don't wanna do a full road project if it doesn't

So, really, me, that's the

with us with not doing a to narrow a widening of the road?

Yes. I know.

You feel like it's sustainable

for what? I

do. And I know there's some development potential development on that side. Have we

commercial right now. Now that it does have access to 07 West and the the other street to the east.

So it's got better access. I

think this is a great way to go we're not gonna do the full white. That's that's my opinion. So if you're really wanting to consider the full white, you know, just put this on hold till we make that decision. But if you do if you're comfortable moving past that, this is a great this would be a good thing to do.

I'm comfortable doing that. That one. Two

three four. Right?

I just wanna make sure that those ends are working

in. So one of these pumps two weeks ago just broke down, and it used to be this. And we have already in place a contract to place these or to add these two pumps here, issues. We we've known that. We've been preparing for it.

We're we're already in the process of fixing it. So, anyway, that's this is Pump Station 3. It's we're gonna be doing a to make a recommendation to the council on what we would propose for that.

They're a part

of it.

Yeah. This is part of

the area. Yep. They're in that green. Right. And It's actually a pretty big So we'll we'll we're getting rid of those.

So this is the property that we purchased and sold on

1700 East for the neighborhood because of that?

No. This this is just so this is a regional pond rather than just open cut and having to maintain a landscape. I mean, you you know, we've all seen these around. They they're ugly. They grow weeds. You know, it's really tough. This will look great because you won't see it. So it'll be flat. It's just yeah. It's gonna be landscaping.

We need those improvements done in order for this to function like it's supposed to be. So we were able to get UDOT to to do this work and get it funded, but it's just it's

Will you restate that, though, so I'll make sure I heard it correctly? So if it's a federally funded project Yes. It's how much

So if if it's required by $10,000,000 regular without federal funds, it will be at least

at least 15. If it's a federal funded. Federal funds. You'll get this paid. Because of the Davis Bacon Way.

Well, it's not just that. There's Buy America. There's environmental. There's all kinds of things that we have to do. It it's kind of like a UDOT project run for the city. And they it it's really complicated. But so on Pioneer, we have two pie two projects that are federally funded. And we just took one of those that's funded at 3,000,000 and and took took that that money money and and put put it it into into this this project. Project. So the city will now need to construct one of those, which is probably gonna be about $4,000,000.

But we got a 100% of

that's

one of the projects that the the council decided they wanted us to buy or we own it. Own most of it. There will be some.

Now what about the sidewalk, curb and gutter?

So we will add curb and gutter and sidewalk on most of it's there on the West side. On the East side, there's gonna have to be some widening that needs to be done in this area that we need property for for a detention basis. We don't have it right now. So we're just starting the design process. We're hoping to be able to get some of it done next year.

I just wonder what some of the residents will say about is the traffic obviously increases there about no sidewalk? Or

Oh, we'll have we'll have

But then going further east, will it be there won't will there be sidewalk to 1300 East? No.

They're not until not unless we had it, which we may do. Yeah. But that's not

You're just itching to run a presentation.

Alright. I'll go quick. Yeah. This will be a little different presentation. I even brought the blades, but I wanna start with a thank you to the mayor and council.

In this presentation, I've got three updates I just wanna go over with you real quick. These are updates about things that you guys funded, is makes our city better and our residents better. So few things. I'll start here with the mowing contract. If you didn't remember, we put out the bid.

We did about 80% of our mowing out that's now contracted out. The reasons for that, I'll go over. We did some of the trouble on the West Side. We still do our seven biggest sports parks. We still do this building, some of our city properties. We have about 10 of them that we still do in house, but the vast majority. I I just made a screenshot of this, but I brought this just so you can visualize what we contracted out. This I used to print every year. Year. This is every property in Draper.

And I just wanna show you. It has every little part, every every island, every shoulder, every park strip, every everything that we would mow, we maintain. It's a lot. Several 100. And it was it was tough. Now what we've done is we contracted to with with our new contractor. One of the biggest benefits, I just had to keep these zero one. But, you know, for years, we've been talking about getting an arborist. And for whatever reason, it's different scenarios. We didn't ever fund it.

But with funding the moment contracted, in my estimation, we got at least three full time people back, which won without any additional funds we converted into an arborist. And we actually won on a hiring for once a week. But it was still from another city, so the guy who hired Logan, he came from Farmington. He came with his arborist, all the certifications. He's even certified in climbing. He had a CDL already. I mean, it was great. And he loves being here, and he's a great worker, and he's just gone to town in short few months with done a lot of tree work. So that was one of the biggest benefits of of going to Mowing. Just a few others. Every day in the summer, it just seems like, you know, it's just, you know, all we can do is

just to

try and catch up or, you know, something happened, you get pulled off, and then it's just there's always this feeling of I'm behind. I'm behind. I'm behind. Now we feel like we can actually be proactive and actually plan and get stuff done. So it's been really nice. Like I said, we got a lot of time. Even the seasonals, we would lose seasonals in August. They all go back to college. So then we're trying to do the same amount of mowing without all the mow crews, and the seasons are all gone. So now that falls just to the full time's path, and there was about four people trying to get the whole city done. And it was just very hard. That all went away this year. So it was it was nice. This one's been huge. We lost a lot of time for down down equipment.

That all went away. Public works have loved it. The mechanics up there not having to deal with broken mowers. Know? Not just push mowers like the other house with big 16 foot decks that take a lot of equipment and time. That went away because they bring their own mowers. Now we still have some mowers, but not near like what we have to. We're able to get on the weeds more. I think this is our best year ever for for weeds. All of the West Side trails that we always seem to struggle with, like, some of those that we just admittedly couldn't get to this big. Those look great this year. So

This one. I'll let you drive it at my place. Yeah.

We just had gone. This is a before and after. Not terrible, at least in the first year.

Depends on the driver.

Last update I wanted to give you, if you remember, we changed our holiday lighting contractor. We had a great event last night. My opinion, opinion, you know, being over it every year and seeing the differences, I thought the lights looked not they haven't looked in the past, but I thought they looked good or better than ever last year. So here's why. A few few things that was beneficial to do this. It did cost some more money, but in the long run, we saved money. So I'm kinda trying to do it. We switched. We switched them out. But this is one of the main things.

I used to fight with our old contractor every year. They would just we would buy brand new lights. We give it to them. They would cut them and take them down, and we're spending 8 to 12,000 every year just on lights, and we get one season out. So now we don't own any of the lights in. 98%. They bring them. They set them up. End of the season, they take them down. And

and if

they're broken, they deal with them. If they they're repaired, they deal with them. So we're always getting new lights. We're having shiny lights. What we used to have to do, just so you know, other than we would have to issue lights, we'd have to have them check them out, sign it, they got them, how many strands we're giving them. So we're trying to at least get close to how many strands we get back because it would give it a fight. Thousands of staff time hours after, would we would have to have pretty much our whole crew. You can picture, like, 18 people going through lives for about three weeks checking them because we can't put them away they don't work, so we don't wanna hang them up the next year. You have to check them. You have to wrap them.

And then storm, the whole upstairs of of our parks facility was bins and bins and bins of lights. Now they do all of that. So we still have but we now this year, you'll notice from all the ones that we've owned, we've been done five additional roundabouts. I did.

And there were 3,000,000 lights. Right?

All Somebody told me that. I don't know exactly what came, but

we said to it, but

I figured it out this morning. All of the lights that

we

do, all down 123rd, all the street pools. Historic Historic Park, Draper Park, South Mountain Bridge, all the roundabouts. We are pretty close to 3,000,000. Where's Linda?

He said

pretty close to 3,000,000. K. She's gotta fix that, though.

In the city. But in Draper Park, there's about 1.5.

Excellent. I know what

the good news.

We gotta get in there. Thank

you for your support, though. That's what my staff want to make sure.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our city council meeting this evening. Mayor Walker and I like to get us underway. Our next item of business effort, our call to order here is the pledge of allegiance, which I will lead us in tonight. If everyone will please rise and state the pledge after me. Alright. Next item on our agenda, I'm gonna turn the time over to chief Ferguson. Go ahead, sir.

Thank you, mayor and council. It's good to be with you tonight. We're gonna recognize two of our officers who are promoting to the rank of master officer. If I can have Ben Ricks and Zach Campbell come up, please. K.

Gonna start tonight with introducing you to officer Ricks. Officer Ricks has eighteen years total law enforcement experience. He started with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Department where he worked for three years. He moved into Unified Police, spent eight years with them, Harriman Police five, and then the Destination Police Department, the Draper Police Department for the past two years. He finally found gold.

Ben has two boys, Damian Ricks, 23 years old, currently a rookie police officer with South Salt Lake, and Preston, 17 years old, currently a senior at Brigham High School Bingham High School. I'm sorry. Got you guys on my mind there. His current assignment, he is on our graveyard shift. He's also a canine operator of famous Davo who you've all met. He's a member of our honor guard and instructor on our firearms team. And I'm gonna just say master officer Ricks has done an outstanding job filling in for a sergeant in lieu of one with all of his experience and knowledge on the street. He's been a great asset to the department. We're very excited to have him promote to master officer tonight. Master officer Ricks.

And I didn't neglected the biggest thing. His significant other is Robin Ricks. I am sorry. Robin is here. Okay.

Okay. Master officer Zach Campbell. Zach has dedicated over ten years to law enforcement. Zach began his career in public safety with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office where he served for three years in the corrections of jail. In 2018, he joined the Draper Police Department where he has proudly served for the past seven years.

His current assignment is to Canyon Patrol. He's the guy that gets to drive the Bronco around. Zach, and these are in his words, covers the scenic and rugged areas of Corner Canyon. He's got the best job in law enforcement. In addition to his Canyon duties, he's an active member of the department's pro, protective order unit, the drone team, and he serves as a de escalation instructor and public information officer.

Outside of work, Zach is devoted to his family. His wife, Teresa, is with us tonight and her four children, Brinley, Kate, Hannah, and Wyatt. Whether keeping our canyons safe, flying drones or critical missions, teaching officers how to bring tense situations to a peaceful conclusion, Zach is a committed servant, and he's a true professional. We're happy to have him. We're very proud of him for making this promotion to master officer at this time. Congratulations.

Professor Campbell.

Good to have you both turn and face Nicole now. We'll have you take the oath.

Thank you, chief. Alright. Item number four is next. And I don't know who I'm turning the time over to. Captain or chief Reyes Reyes and then chief Simmons. Come on up and and tell the and tell our our public what you're here for. Go ahead.

Thank you, mayor and council for granting us this audience. I'll introduce chief Jeff Simmons with Logan City as well as mayor DJ Bott with Brigham City. We wanted to take an opportunity to come down here and just express our deep gratitude for the assistance Draper City gave us in dealing with the tragedy that occurred in Box Elder County. As you're all aware, I'm sure, we lost two Tremont and Garland police officers in August, and we had the daunting task, chief Simmons and I, of orchestrating and putting together and pulling off two funerals. And it was a monumental task, and we couldn't have done it without Draper's assistance.

And chief Ferguson was very gracious in allowing us to steal one of your members of command staff who we wanna recognize a little more personally tonight. So if I could get captain Evans to come up here And just read a certificate that we plan to present captain Evans tonight. I told him I was gonna do my best to embarrass him, so hopefully hopefully I can. On behalf of Brigham City and Logan City Police Departments, chief Chad Reyes and chief Jeff Simmons hereby present captain Evans with a medal of merit for the exceptional leadership and support demonstrated by him and the Draper City Police Department during the planning and execution of the funeral services for sergeant Lee Sorensen and officer Eric Estrada. Captain Evans' professionalism, attention to detail, unwavering commitment were instrumental in facilitating the coordination of this large scale and deeply meaningful event.

His dedication or I'm sorry. He dedicated countless hours in meetings, planning sessions, and on-site preparations to ensure that every element of the service was carried out with dignity, precision, and respect. In addition to his extensive logistical support, captain Evans worked closely and compassionately with the fallen officers' families ensuring that their wishes were understood and honored. Captain Evans' stalwart devotion to this task ensured that every aspect of the funeral and viewing was a true reflection of what the family wanted and needed, bringing comfort and reassurance to them during this difficult time. His experience, leadership, and calm demeanor provided guidance and stability throughout this significant undertaking.

The success of these events, both in honoring our fallen brothers and in supporting their families, was made possible in no small part due to his contributions. The Brigham City Police Department and Logan Logan City Police Department sincerely thank captain Evans and Draper City for their partnership, collaboration, and commitment to excellence. His efforts reflect great credit upon himself, his department, and the law enforcement profession as a whole. So with that, Pat, we wanna present you with the Medal of Merit. It's a Brigham City Medal.

Hopefully, chief Ferguson will allow you to display it with honor. And here is that certificate and an extra copy for you. So thank you very much. We can't thank you enough. I know I've tried to express my gratitude and thanks to to the council and to the mayor and city manager for allowing Pat and chief Ferguson for allowing Pat to come up and literally spend two weeks of his time helping us with this, but I don't know that I'll ever find the words to to appropriately express my gratitude.

So thank you again. I know chief Simmons and and mayor Baugh wanted to just say a couple of quick things, and then we'll we'll move on and let you carry on with your meeting. Thank you again for having us.

Can't express that enough. To allow him to come up for two weeks and help us with that was indispensable. We'd never been through anything like that before. It was held in Logan. It can be two things at once. It was one of the most honorable and wonderful things to be involved with with, but also one of the most terrible things. And we said as we left, didn't we Pat? Let's never do this again. But thank you. Thank you, chief. Thank you to all of you who gave gave us Pat for two weeks. Those aren't just words on that paper. We truly mean every word of it, and we hope we never have to do it again. But we've made fast friends, and you always have a luncheon Logan if you come up. Okay? Thank you.

Thank you. By way of, invitation, I, have got permission from mayor Lyle Holmgren of Tremonton and Linda Bourne Garland to, express their gratitude in the help that, Draper City and and its officers provided for, this incident in in support of Brigham City as we help support them. As an elected official, I wanna express my thanks to brothers and sister elected officials down here in Draper. There's a tax burden and by extension to your citizens by allowing your employee to come up and help in such a, sacred, really, and honored situation that was a a real big tragedy. So thank you from from mayor, from Tremont City, from Garland City, from Brigham City for allowing, your officers to to help us.

Thank you very much.

Thank you. Pat, come up here for just one second. You? Now he's gonna get embarrassed. No. I I just wanna say, and I know this council feels the same as I do, you've given many years of service to our community. You are what we think of when we think of a a community police officer. You always have been. And the fact that you know how to do this comes from our own tragedy. Your own dear friend and ours, sergeant Johnson.

The fact that you learned how to take a tragedy and turn it into a thing of beauty and honor in Derek's loss, our loss, the loss of your of your comrade, thank you. Thank you for your skill set, your humility, and your willingness to to do the things that are need to be done. Thank you again for serving our community, and we're very proud of you. And you deserve that honor and any more I can think of. I'll start thinking of a few more.

Thank you. Thank you. Pat, we wanna do a picture down there with you. Will you will all of you, officers and the mayor, join us as well? We are very, very fortunate to have excellent law enforcement in all of our communities.

Thank you again for coming, all of you that did. Our next item on the agenda is an opportunity for general public comment to the council.

As you remember, House Bill four sixty two requires the city to adopt stationary plans by the end of the year. These three stationary plans were adopted by your council on September 2, and they were certified by WFRC in October. Next step in the process is certification by UTA. Following approval by the city council, we received a request from UTA to change a couple of the figures in the plans in Vista Station to show a building. So the building is located on the site here, shown in red, which is surrounded by the sort of bus turnaround in the Vista Station area.

And so we worked with our consultant to revise the figures. Figure 18, you can see the building here. Oops, sorry. Figure 19. Figure 20 shows sort of the three d view of the Building. Twenty two and twenty four has a really, really tiny version of the building up in the corner. That's the only changes, just to show a building. That concludes my presentation, and I'm available if you have any questions.

Any questions for mister Taylor? Alright. Might have you back if we need to. This is a public hearing, item seven a. Ordinance number sixteen ninety two is running from the public that would like to address the council on this item. Alright. Seeing no public comment, we'll close the public hearing. Bring this back to the council.

Mister mayor. Go ahead. I make a motion we approve ordinance sixteen ninety two. Motion by mister Lowry to approve the ordinance. Is there a second?

I'll second.

Second by miss Johnson. Any further discussion? Alright. Seeing them, mister Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Miss Johnson?

Yes.

Miss Lowry? Yes. Miss Faudry?

Yes.

I'm approved unanimously four to zero. Seven b is next. It's a public hearing as well. Word is number sixteen ninety three. It's an ordinance of Draper City amending the text of the land use development code title nine and the land use development code title 17 of Draper City Municipal Code relating to boundary adjustments known as the city initiated boundary adjustment text amendment. Again, mister Todd Taylor, go ahead, sir.

Thanks. These proposed text amendments are in are in response to changes to the Utah state code, specifically senate bill one zero four in the 2025 session, modified provisions for boundary changes. They became effective on May 7, and we've been advising applicants of the new procedures. We've also made a couple other changes into the text for clarity. So basically what were called lot line adjustments and parcel boundary adjustments are now called boundary adjustment simple and boundary adjustment full.

So a simple boundary adjustment doesn't affect public right of way, a municipal utility easement, or other public property, does not affect an existing easement, on-site wastewater system, or an internal lot restriction and does not result in a lot or parcel out of conformity with land use regulations. And if it doesn't comply with those, it's a full boundary adjustment. So we've gone through and added these definitions, removed the old definitions, revised the subdivision definition, which was changed by the state. Subdivision amendment was also altered to indicate that it does not include a simple boundary adjustment. We then went into our subdivision coordinates and referenced those definitions.

We also have added in requirements for public meeting notice which were inadvertently left out during our last subdivision ordinance update. And then finally, we are adding in the sort of requirements for submittal for a simple boundary adjustment. Those are approved by the zoning administrator. And then the full boundary adjustment includes a plat amendment and they go to the Planning Commission for approval. That concludes my presentation and available if you have any questions. Questions for Mr. Taylor?

Alright. Thank you. Public hearing as well. Ordinance sixteen ninety three. It's a remnant from the public that would like to address the council on this item.

Alright. Seeing no public comment, we'll close the public hearing. Bring it back to the council.

Mister mayor.

Miss Vaudry.

I move we adopt ordinance number sixteen ninety three.

Motion by miss Vaudry. Is there a second?

I'll second.

Second by miss Johnson. Any further discussion? Alright. Hearing the miss Vauder, how do

you vote?

Yes.

Miss Johnson?

Yes.

Miss Lowry? Yes. Mister Lowry? Yes. Items approved unanimously four to zero. Item seven c is next. This is also a public hearing. Order December 1694. It's ordinance of Draper City Council to amend the Draper City general plan to add water use and preservation element known as chapter seven, known as the water use and preservation element general plan. Mister Taylor, you're back. Go ahead, sir. Thanks. So

in 2022, Senate Bill 100 required that city adopt a water use and preservation element by the end of this year. We put together a stakeholder group of planning, engineering, public works, WaterPro, and Utah DWR for interviews and reviews of drafts. We came to the planning commission in October and the city council in October as well with a work session on the goals and strategies that were being proposed. So now we have a proposed element. As mentioned, it would become Chapter seven.

The existing Chapter seven would become Chapter eight. And it's made up of these sections that I will go through which cover both the Draper City Water System and the WaterPro System, which is a culinary and irrigation system. So the plan actually has a good data in it and graphs. This is just a summary. So for water use we're seeing a per capita downward trend.

This is because of outdoor landscaping standards that have become more focused on conservation, tiered water rates, water metering, and infill that we've seen throughout the city. When we look at water demand, residential use accounts for the highest total demand in both the systems. But when we do look at the per connection water demand, residential properties have a lower use and they are fairly consistent. So we see that there's value in reaching out to residential users and the non residential users just because of the high use of the residential overall, but the sort of variability in the higher use per user of the nonresidential. Element also proposes some existing and future water budgets, which includes looking at the water supply.

So for future water supply, Draper City is looking at increasing the contract with the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District to provide more water. WaterPro is looking at developing shallow wells to provide for irrigation water. And then they would have more water available for their culinary system. In looking at water conservation, the city is working on advanced metering infrastructure. And we are continuing implementing our outdoor landscaping and water efficiency standards.

WaterPro is looking at water reuse of treated water that could then be used in their secondary irrigation system. So then that leads to the six goals and 17 strategies that the element proposes. And I'll just run through these. So the first goal is looking at the city providing dedicated leadership support and collaboration. And that's by forming a water conservation team and looking at hiring a water conservation intern to try to help with additional programming, outreach, and education of these programs that we're discussing.

The second goal is looking at irrigation restrictions. So that would be through implementing a time of day watering ordinance to restrict watering between ten six 10AM and 6PM, and then developing a water shortage plan in case of periods of drought or water shortage. And these are obviously two things that would come back before your council for further consideration in the future. The third goal is looking at increasing development density. This is a new one that wasn't there when we came to you during the study session.

This is something that the state requested that we include during their review. And so the implementation really is things that we're already doing. Implement the stationary plans and complete our update to our zoning ordinance to look at including missing middle types of housing. So looking at the smaller lots or allowing them or encouraging them. So again, those are things that will come back before your council as we change the zoning code or work on development agreements to implement those stationary plans.

The fourth goal is looking at educational programming. So expanding our existing classes that our tree committee does on local scapes and implementing do it yourself workshops and then providing free water conserving tools at public events, developing a beautiful yard award program, and then partnering with the Water Conservancy District to meet with businesses and discuss incentives and rebate programs. The fifth goal is looking at our website, social media, and digital tools, consolidating our two web pages into one, and promoting rebate programs on those web pages, Developing a social media calendar to message throughout the year and then promoting an app that provides real time water use information. And then the last goal is to lead by example. And so looking at our park strips, our city turf, and our irrigation systems to become more water efficient.

That concludes my presentation. And I'm available if you have any questions.

I have a question, Todd. On the restrictions with the residential, you know, restricting watering from what, 10AM to 6PM. Are there gonna be any type of, fines or penalties tied to any of these things?

Or how will That's something that if we don't get into that detail, that's something that could be discussed. We could you know, as we develop the ordinance that would implement that and how it would work really. It's really ultimately up to the council to guide us make the decision on how that would be implemented.

I have a question too. You talked about how per connection that non residential users tend to use more water and that there will be an initiative to partner with the water district and businesses. But what about some of the non residential, non commercial organizations that might be in the city? Is there anything to address their water usage?

I

nonresidential, noncommercial.

Sorry. It makes sense in my head.

Sorry. So,

like, maybe civic uses or, like, churches, schools, those kinds of things that aren't commercial, but there we have a lot in our city.

I'm not I think we would when new plans come through, we review them against our standards. I don't know. I haven't dealt with a church. I don't know what we do with churches, to be honest.

We're very limited on what we can require churches to do. Obviously, we can work with them to see what they're willing to do. Landscaping, I don't think is one thing that we're we're really able to fully make them comply with our code.

Okay. Thank you. Oh, and then my other question was about the water conservation coordinator. What does that role look like and who would have that role? So we

actually already have a water quality and conservation coordinator, Jordan Wall. And so it would just be, you know, he would look at coordinating with water pro with planning just sort of having that team to continue to think about these items.

Thank you.

Any other questions? Alright, thank you Todd. This is a public hearing, or December 1694. Is there anyone from the public who would like to address the council on this item? Alright. Seeing no public comment, we'll close the public hearing, bring it back to the council.

Mister mayor, I'd like to move that we adopt ordinance sixteen ninety four.

I have motion to adopt ordinance sixteen ninety four by miss Johnson. Is there a second?

I'll second.

Miss Vaudry is second. Further discussion? Hearing none, miss Johnson, how do

you vote?

Yes.

Miss Vaudry?

Yes.

Miss Lowry? Yes. Mister Lowry? Yes. Items approved unanimously. Four to zero. Item seven d. This is a public hearing, and it is it's a resolution twenty five seventy two. It's a resolution of Draper City Council adopting the water conservation plan update for Draper City. We'll have Brian Maxfield. Go ahead, Brian.

Thank you, mayor. This is the city's fifth water conservation plan. It's a different part of state code. We are required to do it every five years. This is just a graph showing our general usage. The angled line shows our overall trend from the year 2000 to now, so we are on a good trajectory. The yellow line is the regional goal that we have to comply with, and the lower gray line is the Draper City conservation goal that we adopted in 2014. So we have finally managed to achieve that goal. Our target year was 2025. And as you can see, this data goes up through 2024.

So you can see that we are underneath our our target goal for conservation. So this plan outlines our next five years' worth of activities. As you've heard from Todd, we are focusing on helping Waterpro with their reuse. We are doing advanced metering infrastructure that allow us to detect leaks sooner, allow us to help the residents conserve water. Again, expanding and cooperating with other partners on public awareness.

We talked about that briefly in the general plan update. And then we have an item for monitoring progress to adjust the strategy and further community engagement. So this is listed under our conservation coordinator, and that's an existing position we have in our water department. Jordan Wall is that coordinator. So he does oversee some of the conservation efforts from the public works side. So that's what he

does. Do you have any questions?

Any questions for Brian? Alright. Thank you, Brian. This is a public hearing resolution twenty five seventy two. Anyone from the public that would like to address the council on this item?

Alright seeing no public comment we'll close the public hearing bring it back to the council

mr. Mary I move that we adopt resolution 25 dash 72

Motion by miss Johnson to adopt resolution twenty five seventy two. Is there a second? Second by miss Lowry. Any further discussion on the matter? Alright. Hearing none, miss Johnson, how do you vote?

Yes.

Miss Lowry? Yes. Miss Faudry?

Yes.

Mister Lowry? Yes. Items approved unanimously. Four to zero. Item seven e, also a public hearing. Ordinance sixteen eighty six and Ordinance sixteen eighty seven. It's an ordinance amending the official land use map and ordinance amending the official zoning map at Draper City for approximately 1.3 acres of property located at 11730 South 700 West known as the Huber land use map and zoning map. We'll have our staff report by Maryann Pickering. Maryann, go ahead.

Thank you. This is a vicinity map showing where the property is located. It's here in red. This is 700 West And 114 South for reference. This is a detailed view of the property again along 700 West.

The current land use designation is the low medium density for residential, and the zoning is r a one, which is our one acre zone. This request is to change the land use amendment from residential low medium density to residential medium density and then a zoning map amendment from RA one to our third, which is one third acre minimum. I'd like to emphasize that this change is only to one third of the property, and the area that's proposed to be rezoned to R 3 and have that land use designation will eventually be added to the subdivision to the west. The remaining lot portion that will remain our A 1 will continue to comply with the zoning requirements. The planning commission did forward a positive recommendation to you at their meeting on November 13.

And then for reference, this is the approximate area that will be rezoned R 3. This portion will remain the R A 1, and so this part will be sold and incorporated into this subdivision. And I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.

Questions for Mary Anne. The

I guess that are to the north, did they also

subdivide previously? I assume they did. I was not here when this subdivision was done so I do not know for sure.

I believe the majority of those pieces were part of the Fox Landing subdivision and sold some of their property.

And this portion discussed tonight will become part of Fox Landing.

Mister Lowry? Anyone else? Alright. Is the applicant here?

Yes. Yes.

Sir, you're welcome to come up and address the council if you'd like. Just give us your name and address if you would.

Tom Spencer. Business address or my home address? Either one. No. Business address, 527 East Pioneer Road, Suite 100, Aaron Draper. Back your name one more time. Don't think Tom Spencer.

Tom Spencer. Go ahead,

sir. Thomas Thomas L. Okay.

Go ahead.

Going back to the one question that came up, four four out of five of those parcels to the north did sell off a back portion that was incorporated to Fox Landing. Four of them actually received a new lot number designation at the time when that occurred. For this particular application, to put it in very simple terms, even though we're going through many steps to get there, we're adding one nineteen thousand square foot lot to Fox Landing. So that ends for one one home. So that's in the simplest terms what we're doing. All utility and access will come off of Osborne Vista Way off of that knuckle.

Any questions for the applicant? Alright. Thank you, sir. I'll give you the last word if we need to. Do you have

one? Yeah.

Back up.

As far as access for that lot, since it currently doesn't have access to the street, where are you going to get the access?

We're creating access. There's as part of the process that we'll be going through after after this step, the two lots that are kiddie cornered to this parcel that we're purchasing, they're gonna be amended as part of a three lot subdivision. So depending on what the process is at that time, which will start after this hearing if if approved. There's a piece that comes out of Lot 328. This is to the north, and there's a piece that comes out of Lot 327 that sits to the west to create the 50 foot frontage.

And that keeps the lots compliant in lot size even with that. Okay.

Any other questions? Alright. Thank you, sir. We'll give you the last word if there's public comment. This is a public hearing. It is ordinance sixteen eighty six and sixteen eighty seven. Is there anyone from the public that would like to address the council on these ordinances? Alright. Seeing no public comment, I'll close the public hearing and bring it back to the council.

Mister mayor Go ahead. I make a motion we approve ordinance sixteen eighty six and ordinance sixteen eighty seven.

Alright. Mister Lowry's motion is to approve ordinance sixteen eighty six and sixteen eighty seven. Is there a second?

I'll second.

Second by miss Lowry.

Is there any further discussion on Miss Johnson. What's that? It was miss Johnson second. Oh, did you second? No. I did.

Oh, you did.

Well, heard it on this ear because I can't hear now. Sorry. You're gonna have to be louder. Alright. Any further discussion? Alright. Hearing that mister Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Miss Lowry? Miss Vaudry?

Yes.

And miss Johnson?

Yes.

Items approved unanimously four to zero. Alright. Next item, also a public hearing. It's like as many as we've had in a while. Ordinance ordinances sixteen eighty eight and sixteen eighty nine.

That one could what do we do with that one? Okay. We are. Alright. Well, hallelujah. It would appear that we're done with those. Does that mean we're, like, done done? Council manager. Oh, council manager. Alright. Who would like to go first? Does anybody have any items?

I guess just a question, Kelly, is there any help that's needed for the holiday market this weekend?

I don't think so. I asked today if the, the miss Drapers offered help, David said he was okay for that. So I think they're good. He's gonna use their help on Monday with the candy cane hunt, But I think we're all set for both events.

Great. Great job to everyone who pulled off our tree our park lighting ceremony. It was really well done. Brett, mister Wilkes, chiefs, everybody

that

was there and helped, thank you. I think it was one of the one of the better ones we've had. It was it seemed to me like it was the most people we've ever had.

Long water hot chocolate line. Yeah. Indeed. Yeah.

Right. If if there aren't any other items, is there a motion to adjourn? So moved. Alright. Motion by miss Lauer to adjourn. Is there a second?

I'll second.

Second by miss Johnson. All in favor of adjourning, aye. Aye. Are there any opposed? We are adjourned.
