Testing. Testing. Yeah, let's do it right now. Testing. Testing, testing, testing. I think we got it. We got it. Thank you. You are welcome.

Welcome everyone to our March 24th, 2026 Midbell City Council meeting. We are just back from our workshop. We had a nice discussion about our Uplift Midbell Youth Violence Coalition. Um, more information as always about that in the future, some of the um, some of the activities that Vanessa and her crew plan to do. We're looking forward to starting those new traditions here in Midville. So, thank you, Vanessa, for the very informative workshop. We will start as we normally do with a pledge of allegiance. If you'll stand and repeat after me. Pledge allegiance to the flag for it stands nation under God, indivisible, liberty and justice for all.

Okay. Thank you everyone. Moving on uh for a roll call. Rory, will you see who is here, who's not here, and who is joining us on Zoom from maybe Colorado? Yes. Council member Robinson here. Brown here. Micholash here. Greings here and Glover here. Hi Paul. Hello. Okay, that is all of us. Welcome, Councilman Glover. Hope you're doing okay if you're in California or Colorado. Colorado.

Colorado it is. Okay. I know it was one of the two. Uh moving on, we have a Unified Fire Authority report this evening. And here to do that as always, uh Chief K. Welcome, Chief. Good to see you. Good to be good to be with you. Thanks for thanks for having me. Um, our safety message for the month of March is uh, handsonly CPR matters. So CPR is CPR is important. Um, just wanted to present you with a couple of numbers. Um, in 2024, UFA responded to 252 non-traumatic cardiac arrests. Of those, 52.8% received bystandard CPR and 11 and a half% had an AED applied by a by a bystandard. Nationally, 41.9% of patients received bystandard CPR. So, we're doing good there. Um, and 29.2% of patients had an AED applied. So, some room for room for improvement there. In 2024, 31 of those patients um cardiac arrest patients that UFA responded on left the hospital alive after receiving um bystandard CPR and AED use. This represents a 51.6% save rate, which is significantly higher than the national average of 37.6%. So, little pat on the back for for uh our communities doing um hands-only CPR or or traditional CPR. Um it's important to save lives. Um and with that, I'll just go into the call volumes for February. Another busy month for the crews in Midvail. We had uh 320 calls in February. Um that made Midvail the third

busiest community in in UFA for the month of February. So congratulations moving up and uh yeah that's the end of my report unless there's any questions. Any questions for Chief K? Chief for the handsonly CPR I think some of us have learned in the past that if you're ever in the situation where you have to do that the song in your head is it still staying alive staying alive. Yep. You're looking for 100 to 120 beats a minute and if you sing staying alive in your head you'll be right on time. Okay. So, all right. Thank you.

Okay, moving on. Uh, we have a proclamation tonight rec recognizing March 31st, 2026 as transgender day of visibility. Uh, so I will read the proclamation and just as a reminder, this is something we've done for a number of years now. Uh, something that I think all of us, the council members up here are proud and happy to do. Um, we know that there has been some hateful rhetoric uh statewide and federally and we want to let those members of our community uh know that we see them um and we are here for them as allies and as elected officials. So, uh the proclamation reads recognizing March 31st, 2026 as transgender day of visibility. Whereas transgender and gender diverse people are valued members of our community who contribute to the cultural, civic, and economic vitality of our city. And whereas transgender day of visibility observed annually on March 31st is an opportunity to celebrate the resilience, leadership, and achievements of transgender and gender diverse individuals while raising awareness of the challenges many still face. And whereas every resident deserves to live to live with dignity, safety, and equal opportunity. And our community is strengthened when all people are recognized and respected. And whereas public recognition of transgender and gender diverse residents helps foster understanding, compassion, and belonging across our comm community, our neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools. And whereas communities across Utah and the nation observe transgender day of visibility by uplifting transgender voices, supporting inclusive communities and affirming the fundamental dignity of every single person. Now therefore, be it resolved that Mayor Dustin GTH and the city council of Midbell City do hereby proclaim March 31st, 2026 as transgender day of visibility in Midbell City and encourage all residents to

recognize the contributions of transgender and gender diverse people to continue working towards communities where everyone can live openly, safely, and authentically. This is adopted this 24th day of March 2026 and is signed by me, the mayor, and all members of the city council. So, thank you, city council. All right, moving on then to public comments. Any person wishing to comment on any item not otherwise scheduled for a public hearing tonight may step up to the microphone now. You'll be given three minutes for public comment. We have any? And if you would just state your name for the record. Is this gonna pick up my voice? Yeah.

Uh, mayor, thank you, city council. Thank you. I am JC Thornton, executive director at Project Rainbow. My pronouns are, she, they, um, I am also a CSW, licensed CSW therapist. Um, and the mother of children who have been adversely impacted by legislation in the state. And so, um, on behalf of the 20, uh, of 20 donors of Project Rainbow that are residents of Midville that are proudly flying our transgender flags, uh, for the next two weeks. I thank you um, for this resolution. Um, we would love to be more engaged in the future as these proclamations are read. Um, we have a trans day of visibility community celebration on the 31st that we'd love to have copies of this to share with our broader community. Um, at a time where we feel very threatened by government, it's great to see government that supports us. Um, as you all know, and if you didn't know, gender variation has existed long before colonists came to Turtle Island. And the flag represents that we have always been here and we will always be here. In spite of all of the chilling effect that we were scared about with HB77 that recently passed, we continue to see our community showing up in large measure. And we know that the vast majority of the people staking our flags are allies. They are people saying, "This is where your community is. This is where you're safe." And so we can talk statistics of how our community is disproportionately at risk for suicidality and how seeing one supportive adult for our youth reduces our suicide risk by 60%. But I think most importantly the stories of people coming to our doors and knocking as youth to say thank you for putting that flag up because no one in

my family was affirming and I saw it at your house is why we continue to uh stand and at times in great risk knowing that our flags are vandalized and stolen at a rate of around 20% of the flags that we stake. And so we know this does not represent the best of Utah. We know that the vast majority of our flags do come back to our to our offices. And so we will continue to always represent our our our full um gender diverse community. Um, as also a organizer for the Utah Trans Plus Coalition, where we are all gender diverse leaders, we can't thank you enough for this act of um, government speech to say that we are valid, that we are a part of your f the fabric of society here in Midval. And I just can't thank you enough for your support. and we look forward to finding ways that we can also drive policy the likes that we see in Columbus, Missouri and Kansas City also red states where they have supportive policies to protect their their citizens in their city. So, thank you again for your time.

Thank you JC and thank you for all the work that you do at uh Project Rainbow and speaking so eloquently on on this topic. We appreciate you being here. Is there anyone else wishing to give public comment tonight? Okay, seeing none, we will move on to council reports and we'll start in district one. Council member Bonnie Billings. Uh, nothing today, Mayor. Okay. Uh, moving on to district two, Councilman Paul Glover. Nothing this evening. Okay. Thank you, Councilman. Uh, District 3, Council Member Heidi Robinson.

Um, I'm just going to say something really quick. I just wanted to say I'm very proud of this proclamation. Um I think it's very important for us to be speaking out on on these big important issues that have such a long and lasting impact. Um so I do just want to say that as far as transgender day goes of visibility. I will be celebrating and um any of my friends or family have a seat at my table. Thank you.

Okay. Thank you, Council Member. Uh District 4, Council Member Bryant Brown. Yeah, I have a handful of things. I guess I'll take up some time from the others so far. Please start by I do want to echo council member Robinson's sentiments. Uh, you know, I think they make a the trans community makes an important part of our community and we want them to feel safe here. Uh, we can't we can't make them feel safe everywhere, unfortunately, but hopefully in Midvale that it is a place they do. Um, I also want to recognize and and and thank some of our people up here. They helped run some of the caucus um last week. That's why we didn't have city council. It was a great turnout I thought I think from probably both parties. Um you know, just a lot on lot on the ballot, a lot of people on the ballot. Um just encourage everyone no matter you know where they stand to to look up um the the candidates and the topics and and and uh be informed and engaged because you know there's a lot going on right now. And and sort of lastly, I just want to remind residents that I mean, I think one of the best services we've provided since me and Councilman Gail started a few years ago is the transfer station. Um, with the spring in the air, you know, a little earlier than normal, I got really sunburned on like March 20th, which seemed really unfair. Um, I cleaned up my whole yard and normally I kind of just set it all in my carport and wait until the bulk waste. And on Saturday, I was like, "Oh, I can just load this up in my truck." from the time I put it in my truck to driving it to the transfer station and getting home it was 14 minutes total, right? And so, um, you know, really encourage residents to to use it. I've used it now twice for that purpose and I've taken paint there that's free um, three different times. I think Bonnie probably lives the furthest away and that might be like 30 minutes round trip where the the traditional dump would have been like an hour and 15 minutes. It it's if you go say you're Midvil resident, it's 20 bucks, right?

And they they don't really ask questions. It's a lot cleaner than going to the dump. Like it's kind of weird because you just throw all of your garbage on the cement floor. Like everything you're told not to do as a kid. You just like throw it. Um you're not like driving on a a garbage pile in the middle, you know, of of nowhere. That's a little sketchy. So just a reminder, springs here very much encourage residents to use it. It is a great asset. it. You know, I know we pay for garbage already, so an extra $20 seems kind of crummy, but it's really not too bad. On that note, as well, if you have a truck and you have an older neighbor, something that needs help move, you know, with a couch or something would be a great way to sort of help your neighbors.

And no, I'm Thank you. Uh just don't make the mistake I made um on Sunday loading my truck or my vehicle up with uh glass recycling and realizing that it's closed on Sundays. Uh but other than that, yes, I think it's such a a great amenity for us uh here at Midbell. Uh moving on to district five, uh council member Denise Micholash.

Thank you. Um also want to appreciate project rainbow. Unfortunately live in an HOA where we don't put any flags up. So I'm always bummed when I can't participate. Um would love to figure out another way to do that. Um, want to tell everyone and I went to the nineto-five Broadway show by the Midvil Arts Council last night and it was entertaining and they're hilarious and they did an amazing job um, uh, finding costumes, just the creativity in it. So, smiled all through it. Recommend everyone go. Um, also wanted to congratulate the new Canyon School District superintendent. Look forward to meeting them on Thursday. Um, so that will be great to tie into what we talked about earlier with Uplift. Um, and then I think, oh, and then we do have in the RDA, which is pretty exciting, our first applicant for the, um, Main Street Activation Program. So, that was great to hear. Love that that program is already being accepted. So, we'll hear more about that. Thank you.

Okay. Thank you. Yeah, we look forward to hearing more about that grant later tonight. Okay. Um, for my report, I have a couple of things. Um, Council Member Micholash just hit on the one. Um, yes, if you hadn't heard, there's a new superintendent in Canyon School District. Dr. McKay Robinson has replaced Dr. Rick Robbins. So, there's a lot of Robins Robinson's going on there. Uh, so we do look forward to we have a Canyons gala on Thursday. So, look forward to meeting Dr. Robinson, but from what I've heard, he is a very well-loved person within the education community. So, I have no doubt he's going to pick up where Dr. Robbins left off. Uh, second thing I wanted to mention, next council meeting, which is the 7th of April, we're going to bring a resolution. I was contacted by Two Row Brewing, who um had some questions about one of our ordinances, uh, 51080 if you want to look it up. that um we have this kind of antiquated law or ordinance on the books that basically requires them to do double work um as far as making sure that all of their servers have uh some sort of identification badge issued by the city. In fact, when I was listening to his um complaint about this, I was thinking like this can't be us. This has to be DABS, right? And no, it it is something that has been on in our books for quite quite a few I guess maybe 20 30 years maybe. But anyway, um we discussed it internally. I had a number of conversations on Thursday with uh Matt um city attorney uh Garrett Chief Morris Adam was involved in it. So this was a pretty big lift, but I was pretty excited at the end. We all kind of

agreed that this ordinance does nothing that the DABS already doesn't do as far as making sure that folks are properly licensed and a background check is completed at the time of hire. Um, so we're going to bring that ordinance for discussion on the 7th and possibly repealing it or you know if you guys the council have any other additional ideas. Um, there are some neighbor neighboring cities who have a similar ordinance. There are some neighboring cities who don't have or have already repealed the ordinance, but um that'll be on the next uh our next city council meeting. I wanted to give you a heads up just in case the the owner of two row brewing or or any other uh facilities reached out about it because it is something I think that our UPD folks and detectives have started uh recently to go around and and and require um as they should. I mean, it is an ordinance on our books, so why wouldn't we? But if it doesn't have to be on our books and we have um safeguards in place to make sure that someone is already doing this seems um kind of burdensome to me. Uh but that'll be up to you guys the next uh two council meetings. Uh the final thing I have tonight uh last Thursday which was a busy day. So before the zero brewing discussion with every city employee uh we had our UPD budget uh PBIM which uh stands for preliminary budget increase maximum. I think I mentioned our last council meeting this is the this was the meeting where we set that number. Um the number came in initially around 5%. Which would have been approximately $700,000 increase for Midell City. Um in some discussions in that meeting I made it clear that you know our budget could not

handle you know five or more percent increase this year. Uh so we did uh negotiate that number down to 3.5%. The parameters I heard from council were between 3 and 4%. Um my personal u recommendation was 3%. And so we're going to get two sets of numbers at our next UPD board meeting. One that will be the 3.5% that the board set, but also a 3% just so we can see what that looks like as well. So with a 3% increase, that's about $400,000. So just to get it down from 5% to three and a half uh saved us, you know, almost $300,000. So looking forward to working with the board and with the chief. I know there's not a whole lot within our precinct budget that can be cut. We run so lean to begin with, but uh Chief Mazerin did promise us in that meeting that he had some creative ideas uh that he was looking forward to, uh taking a look at the budget and see where he could make those cuts. Of course, we don't want to uh we don't want to compromise officer safety or service levels here in Midbill, but we also um just simply can't have our taxpayers face another, you know, 100 200% property tax increase this year. So, uh more on that later. If you guys have any, um direction for me at the next board meeting, we'll have that, I believe, April 19th or so. So, that's a lot for me tonight. So, I will stop. I'll move on to city manager report. Uh Matt Doll.

Thank you. Um one quick item for me and then I was going to have uh the city engineer Brandon Anderson come up and talk about a couple of quick things. But uh for me, do you recall a couple meetings ago, um we had to cancel the meeting early or close the meeting early because of a smell. Um, I did just want to let you know that we did hunt that down and they were storing uh cooking grease in there and that is what the smell was. We don't have not been successful in trying to get an understanding of why we're storing it and how to get it away from here. But at least it's uh uh I thought you might feel better to know that it was not um sar gas. So, um, the, um, I, you know, before Brandon comes, I do have one last thing. I do want to express my extreme disgust with the University of Houston basketball or not University of Houston, University of Florida basketball team for breaking my bracket. Um, I wanted that on the record because that's how impactful it has been on me. Brandon, are you ready?

So, I've asked Brandon to come up to talk about a couple of quick things. one is um he is a member of our drought uh sorry uh uh Jordan Valley water uh drought committee and he's going to talk a little bit about that and then the other one is Brandon and his role overseas a lot of our construction projects and um was just going to give an update on some of those projects for you. Um and with that I'll turn it over to you. And he's also wearing his March Madness basketball tie from the police about that but I may as well wear my basketball tie when it's appropriate. Your bracket's not broken.

I'm not doing very well in set bracket, but it's not broken. Arizona hasn't lost yet. So, can I get that? Can't believe I said hopefully I can remember a lot of this. I thought it had started at seven. So just an FYI. So at these at this point with Matt, I'm going to do these two. do the drought committee update and then projects update. Then I'll be back up for another project update. So just as a just as be aware that we have one voting member on our drought committee that we vote for. Um it discusses the impacts snowpack the water levels in the reservoir and what's going on there. What do we want to do to recommend? We make recommendations to the Jordan Valley Water Board. they actually vote and make that recommendation. But of the voting members that were there, um 10 of 10 of them voted for a level one on the drought. Um two uh the level two, there were six of us that myself included, I voted at level two and then there was two people that weren't there, two members that weren't there to vote. Our current water levels at Jordanell are 64 and 86 at Deer Creek. Meaning if we if we're at 100% on both of those, we have two years worth of water. So we are in that kind of drought and we do not have a great actually we have the worst snow pack we've had ever in Utah this year. So that doesn't mean we didn't get the

water. The water came. It just came in the form of rain. So, our soil moistures are actually up higher than they usually are at this time of year because it rained. And so, there is some benefit to that rain and moisture getting into the ground. It's just not in our reservoirs that we use a lot for watering and stuff. As I voted, I voted because I'm not looking at just this year, but I'm looking at what what happens in two years or three years if we have low water. Um, obviously, it's just a recommendation. And so the recommendation went um 10 to 6 to that board and they will make that determination. Um it was a really good discussion but we are low on snowpack and it's getting worse as the temperatures are very hot right now. It actually dipped quite drastically and those are current water levels because they gave us different ones while we were at the meeting. But we had the most up-to-date information at that meeting and um a few of the other members of our staff were there as well attending the meeting. But level I'll just say from their standpoint level one is to try to reduce water by 5%. Their level two is to um reduce it by 10%. That was the other reason I voted. I kind of wanted at least a 10% reduction. um talking to Mariah earlier, she'll get up and talk a little later about some of that and how much we have saved, but that's that was some of ours and then we have our levels within the city that we look at level one and level two. So, any questions? Uh Brandon, I just wanted to add I probably should have said it during my report, but um tomorrow we're announcing the next this year's uh rain barrel program. So that's like a water

collection uh program that I think this year is going to be even more important. Um I think a lot of folks are going to want uh those drastically reduced cost uh rain barrels. Um that's not something that you know I've told you about. This is breaking news to Brandon. Um but it's just one of those things that you know we uh elected officials need to do a good job this year of letting our folks know that we have these discounted rain barrels available. It's a great way to store water, water your do your um watering instead of, you know, using uh the very valuable resource that we all need here in the desert. So, but also thank you for the vote to level two. I think that was probably pretty wise.

Okay. Um yeah, we do, like I said, there's different Oh, they have media. I was going to say so that both ours and theirs is doing media campaigns and getting that message out. um for those that may not have heard attended they will pres they will provide us as well some um information to be able to present and to our public and to our members and our residents. So all right with that we'll go on to the midbell projects. There's not a lot. It's just a slide to remind me where we're at. So we are on we have uh two projects currently underway and then we have a third one. our 2026 water line replacement project that I will bring at next city council meeting for award recommendation for award on that one but that just went out. Um the sewer project I don't know how many of you have heard we've been working on Main Street recently.

Maybe you've heard it. I heard it a lot last week. Um but we are working on that sewer project and a lot of the we've we've done um about 50% of that already. Uh this main street and the avenues that we're working on gets us a little further in that. With that being said, I want to highlight the fact that we did take one week to interrupt businesses and traffic flow versus it would have took about three weeks if we would have flagged it, tried to go around things, make it easier for traveling public to go. I know it's hard to swallow, but at the same time, we were trying to look at the businesses and residents along there. Um, with that said, going forward on the sewer project remaining, we still have, and just a reminder that that sewer project is to help our aging infrastructure. Some of those manholes that we took out on Main Street are very old. Somebody told me at least 80 years old. They are Some of them were falling apart. Like we pull them out, they barely tapped them and they just fall apart. It's almost like digging them. But anyway, that's the main purpose for this project. So, um, we do have a couple of impacts that I want you to be aware of. Fourth and Fifth Avenue is a remove and replace the pipeline. That means those avenues are very narrow and it will impact all the residents up and down that street. With that, we have a we've always had the communication plan to get that out three days early in English and in Spanish. the flyer that goes out and to let them we put them on the door and then as on the sewer project if we are right in front of their driveway where they can't get out they go knock on the door. Hopefully somebody answers. We don't always get a response. Sometimes

that they didn't get the flyer or it somehow didn't make it to them, but we try to inform them the best we can. Um that's that's a big impact on Fourth and Fifth Avenues. Those are coming in about two weeks and they'll last about a week and a half each road. And the reason is is because they can't just drive through the road when they're working. They have to start down here near Main Street. We won't block Main Street off anymore. Just near Main Street and then just continue up the road because you work from the bottom up. So, they have to go up to Rio Grand back all the way down to get the materials, send that one out, bring the next truck in. It's kind of a a slower process in there. The other one I want you to be aware of is we are considering um there's a manhole at Wasace in Maine right in the middle of the road and that's one of our corridors for traffic. Um that won't happen until I think Councilman Brown was talking to me about that last time or last time I was here. But um it's one of the major roads there. We are going to go after school. So it's going to be in May. So we are trying to avoid that impact but we are also trying to consider the um financial and traveling public impacts to that. We are contemplating rerouting traffic on that one as well. Shutting that intersection down which is kind of big. It's five days. It's five working days during the week if we can shut it down. It's two weeks if not, but it's very close to our they have to pump around that. It helps make a service connection that has to go across the street. There's a few things that that helps. It also helps us so they don't have to put temporary pavement down while they're working and then come back and permanent to like let traffic through on one side

and then let traffic through. They can just work pave it back. It does save us efficiency and financial flagging. we wouldn't have to flag it and obviously time. There's a couple other streets to do on that, but those are the those are some other ones that they'll have room and they'll be able to move people around. I'll stop at that just in case somebody has some questions because those are bigger impacts to the public. I think the sewer project I like to remind everyone like it's so foundational to all the big ideas and big plans that we have that the short amount of time that we have to suffer will be big payoff in the long term. So um you know everything that has happened on Main Street it looks beautiful and new but underneath and the bones that need to support that have to be built out. So I appreciate you doing that and

yes they'll pay off and everyone will appreciate it.

I totally agree. I agree with that one. Any other questions or comments? All right. Whoops. I don't want to go to the next one. Um, our roadway infrastructure project, which is our Stag Street, some of the improvements on Maine. So, Stag Street is mainly done. There are some power poles that are left up. The power has moved, but the communication lines that are on those were made aware of it, but they are not moving very well. It's a discussion with them all the time on when they can get out there. So, we're hope we're moving as fast as we can to get those poles taken down. If you drive through there, you'll notice that the ones that they topped off that don't have the power on the top, all those poles are coming out. So, as they remove the communications on them, that'll go down. We'll finish sidewalk and asphalt where those holes for those poles are. Um that it's really going well though. Um smelters done, depot's done, stags done. We also did raise semi-raised crosswalks. I'll say that for Nate's sake. So, but there's two raised crosswalks. I don't know if you guys have noticed those in the shutdown. We combine Noland and Beck construction to lessen the impact for both projects as well. Those are raised. They're colored red. We will um put a chevron on each direction when we get those painted. Speaking of which, I should go back because I just remembered painting. So, the sewer project that we took out the crosswalk on Wasatch is we're trying to get it done this week, but we haven't heard back from the subcontractor on a for sure this week. That's their plan, but we haven't heard from the subcontractor as of today. Um, so you can go drive those. We'll mark those. We'll have we'll place some

actual ballards on the side of those, some breakaway, so they won't they'll prevent it'll hurt if you hit the ballards, but they're breakaway at the same time. So, but it'll help that calm traffic calming as you go down. So the little raised um and then the ballards and then traffic crossing signs will be there. So there's that on that project as well. And then behind the museum we've done that um sidewalk that was um behind there. Very interesting back there what we found. But it's like a two-ft void. But we filled it in. We got the cut. I don't even think Matt heard that has heard that one yet. I haven't showed you pictures. But

um anyway, pretty significant back there to get that done. But that um sidewalk is done. It's back to there's a part that's ADA. All of it's not ADA. There is a waterway that kind of goes down through the middle of that to drain. And so there's that that's a benefit to it. And then we will put up ballards back there as well so that the people will quit driving through that alleyway and then over the sidewalk. which I hear happens already. I'm just not here at night when the bands leave. So, any any questions on they they're they're still about a month out from finishing on their They're really back construction's really just finishing up some few touch-ups that they didn't get while they were there. They were going to close some more pipelines. So, we leave them on, but they'll go back and they'll cut it. They'll uh put concrete in them, fill them, stop them. So, those water lines don't work anymore. And then they have uh some curb and gutter on Main Street that they're going to do right across the street here. And we have them ch we're working on getting this food truck entrance fixed. So, there's a couple littleer things for them to do and then finish.

But those will have some uh while they might be in the road, they're not going to shut down the road.

No, they'll be shoulder closures. So, they'll be two-way traffic through there. And when they need to bring in vehicles, they'll flag it to let people go both directions. So, communications with that one has usually been two days in advance and a day the day of or the day before they go knock on people if they're affecting them right in front of them on businesses mainly. And the other thing that goes out with our RDA group, we coordinate with them as well and they mail out some of those flyers as well to give them two forms of trying to connect with them. Any questions on that project? Okay, thank you. Yep. Um, that completes my report.

Okay. Thank you, Matt, and thank you, Brandon. And I did want to say real quickly, I I think as Council Member Molash mentioned, our residents for the most part, yes, inconvenienced by a lot of these projects, but I think uh most to realize that the temporary inconvenience is is worth the long-term gain. So, I just urge those uh who are affected to hang in there. We hear you. We drive the same roads and, you know, we're probably inconvenienced as well, but you know, great things are coming to Main Street and beyond. Uh, moving on, we have one public hearing tonight and let me check the time. Yes, it is after 7. So we can proceed into the 7 PM public hearing and that is to receive public comment on amendments to title 16 and section 17-4-3 of the Midell Municipal Code to come into compliance with requirements of the Utah State Legislature. And here to discuss that is Vendalin Guten. Vendalin

Genag. This one is driven um basically um by a change in the state code um that happened a while ago. And this change um drives changes that we basically just need to implement. And um the first item here is that the state requires of the cities now that when we um review subdivisions that the sort of the technical review, construction plans, everything that has to do with engineering happens either with a preliminary or with the final. In our ordinance, we had some of both. it it appeared in both um sort of um review phases you could say and with this we changed it to just appearing in the preliminary plan. So basically we frontload everything that makes it uh it's actually pretty consistent with how we currently review um preliminary plats um because they those are the ones that go to planning commission still by state law. Preliminary plats cannot go to um the to the city council and also not the final plats. Then um the state also um decided to recodify portions of the state code and that included the portion that has the great the vast majority of the planning enabling legislation in it which means that all the I don't know 500 to a thousand references that

we have in our code that refer to the state code need to be updated. So we are doing this a little piece at a time whenever we have a an amendment right now and you see that quite a bit in the amendment. Then number three is also you know a housekeeping item. Um there's a section in uh 1743 that basically summarizes at a pretty high level um what powers and duties the planning commission has and there were there's one item there that just needed updating um with respect to um subdivision approvals. So we did that and the other item had never appeared in that list but it's been deeply ingrained in the municipal code and that has to do um uh with vacations of road right away that the planning commission is a part of that system. And then another housekeeping item whenever we have numbers in the code in the past for example you there's a number 15 um it's written out and we are changing that to just two digits five and you you see that in numerous um areas here in this amendment. And then the last item here is uh just a clarification on sidewalk requirements um for private streets. Um there there was still a provision in the code um within the subdivision ordinance that allowed a developer um to not have a sidewalk on one side of a public street. And as staff we felt in

this day and age that really shouldn't be. And um just so that you can sort of visual visualize the changes a little bit, this is in the preliminary plan language. This is where all the engineering provisions have been added. Um over here uh in the language for the final plat that's where it got taken out. Um then here there's some examples of the reef codification. So the number basically changes that references um the state code. Um this is the powers and duties section. Um paragraph D is the one where we updated the language um that they actually approving the preliminary plat. And um paragraph F is the one that deals with street vacations. And as I said, this isn't new. It's already in the code. This is just, you know, a reference basically to other sections in the code. Um, and then here's one of the examples of, you know, the number 50 spelled out versus a number in our code. And then this is the portion where um you know the clarification happens on private streets that you you can't um just have one sidewalk, you have to have two, one on each side. And this um goes along with our criteria that we have in our code um for um text amendments. And this is the recommended motion.

Um, do you have any questions for me? Any questions from council? Well, thank you for not putting this down as five different public hearings and combining them into one. We appreciate that. Um, on that note, this is on our agenda as a public hearing. Is there a motion from council to open this to public comment? Mayor, I motion we open public comment. Second. Have a motion and a second. Um, all those in favor of opening public comment, say I. I. Any opposed?

Okay, we are in public comment. If there's anyone from the public who would like to comment on this item, now is the time. Seeing no movement, is there a motion to close public comment? May I motion we close public comment? Second. Okay. All those in favor of closing public comment say I. Yes. I. Any opposed? Okay. Public comment is over. Uh we do have a motion on the board for council's consideration.

Mayor, I move that we approve ordinance number 2026-08 amending title 16 section 17-4-3 of the Midbell Municipal Code to come into compliance with requirements of the Utah State Legislature Legislature with the findings stated in the staff report. Second. Okay, we have a motion and a second. Rory, will you call the yays and nays? Yes. Council member Clever, I. Robinson, I. Brown, yes. Molush, yes. And Billings, yes.

Okay, that passes unanimously. Thank you. Uh, we'll move on then to the consent agenda. We have one item tonight and that is to consider the minutes of March 3rd, 2026. Is there a motion to approve the minutes? May I motion we approve the consent agenda? Second. Okay, we have a motion and a second. Rory, will you call the yes and ns? Yes. Council member Brown, yes. Mich, yes. Billings, yes. Glover, I. Robinson, I.

Okay, that passes unanimously as well. Moving on, we have a couple of action items for this evening. The first of which is to consider resolution number 2026R13 authorizing the mayor and city staff to enter into an agreement between Midbell City, Salt Lake City Corp and UD do for the 8000 Southbridge replacement project. Here to talk about that is Brandon. And real quick from my end, this is a very time-sensitive issue. So much as soon as if the council does approve this, Garrett's gone away to get the paperwork ready to go so I can sign it and head it so it heads to the right people. As you know, getting three different government agencies, Midell City, Salt Lake City, and UD do together on all of this was quite the ordeal, and we are pushing a 331 deadline.

Wow. Brandon, take it away. You want to say on that? Keep going.

So, um, our 800 South project, you may, some of you may have remembered we did a betterment on this project to do our roadway within the utility agreement to do our roadway within, sorry, UTA agreement. So, that's a betterment that was passed before, but this one is for tonight is the the top um bullet points. There's two agreements. One is this one is an agreement between UD do Salt Lake City Public Works and Midvil and that is to be able to um let us work on that project, replace the bridge um as it goes through and it's just an aging structure that needs to be replaced. This gets us so that it lets us and UD do really to advertise the project. So, this first agreement that the mayor and um Cara and Rory will sign is to let us be able to have that agreement so that UD do has it in place so they can advertise the project. The second agreement is just between us and Salt Lake City um public utilities. That's the handout I just sent uh gave you. The reason it is where it is right now and handing it out at this point is it has been a struggle

to get this It was a struggle to get the first one, let alone this one. So, um, I'll just say that, leave it at that. But this lets us So, this is this lets us get a permit to be able to put the covert that's already existing in place in place. Now, they want an agreement to let us do it and lease their ground for 10 years to have the bridge there for $1,000. So, um, that's the second one that's in front of you. It is okay from our review. Um, it's not great. We had some comments. We just haven't been able to go back and forth with them. And so, it is it is very similar to ones we've had in the past. Um, there was a bridge about 15 years ago that we had a very similar permit. We were just trying to update the language and what was meant by the language. We weren't able to do that. That's the best we could do at this point. Um, that one we're approving to get uh signed. It's not on the So, we're trying to approve both of them, but this one, that second one won't be signed today, tonight, per se. The first one needs to be signed tonight so that we can get that advertised as the mayor said by the 31st. So, questions on that? Any questions for Brandon?

I know that's if you need time to look through it some more, you can. I will say, you know, we've all said how the or it was an ordeal to get this far, but I will say that once the problem was identified and and I was able to assist by calling public utilities director at Salt Lake City, again, kind of surprising when you learn these things like how much of the canal in Midvail that Salt Lake City owns. Um, very bizarre, but um, you know, their public public utilities director once she also found out this impass was happening, she did everything in her power to to grease the wheel a bit and we got things done quickly, but it was an ordeal. Um, we are where we are now and I think, as you said, this isn't the best agreement ever, but it is definitely something we can all live with.

Yes. Unless there's something significantly changed with this agreement, we would just sign the agreement. If there's something significant, we'd run that by Garrett and if that's the case, we would bring it back. The one in front of you, I've already been able to review. Okay. Before was presented to you tonight. It is substantially similar to the one that was in the packet, the example that you have from Sandy.

There have been two small, well, three small changes that I could identify when I compared the documents. Um, one is it makes it clear that the utility and bridge permit agreement is being is going to be part of the agreement the other agreement that Brandon's referring to between UD do Salt Lake City and Midval. So these are now uh need to be read somewhat together. It also puts a couple more obligations on us that we have the responsibility to maintain our bridge in such a way that it doesn't interfere with the canal indefinitely. Um, so that was also new and Salt Lake City also has a little bit more input on the design of things as well based on their internal policies and whatnot. So between the the example you had from Sandy and the one that you have from Midville, the only real changes are those three things and then it accurately reflects all the details for our specific project and and we would maintain like Garrett says that they're in there now, but we've done that with the current bridge as in place. So it's not something new that they've added. They've just added it to the agreement. which is why you think it would be a much easier thing to do to replace a bridge that already exists and there are agreements in place for that to happen. But be that as it may, here we are.

Agreed. And I thanks mayor for helping us with that. Yeah, absolutely. Any questions from council?

So, no questions on that. Just that I will bring back a UTA agreement that in done in an order and in place. Um, and we'll I'll just bring it next time because I didn't get it on the notice or I would have had that agreement with me today as well. So, just be aware that there's one more coming and that's just with UTA to work in within their tracks limits. Oh, I forgot to show you that right there. That's the work we're doing with the UTA agreement and this is the project as a whole to replace that bridge. So with that, if there's no questions, actually I forgot the fourth governmental agency involved UTA. So it's been quite the learning process. Uh there is a motion on the board for council. Mayor, I move that we suspend the rules and approve resolution number 2026-R13, a resolution authorizing the mayor and city staff to enter into two agreements with the UD do and Salt Lake City Corp for the 8 Did I say 80th South or do I say 8,000?

You can say whatever you want. Okay. 80th South Bridge Replacement Project. Second. Okay, we have a motion and a second. Um Rory, we call the A's and A's on this. Yes. Council member Robinson. Hi. Brown. Yes. Nicholash. Yes. Billings. Yes. And Glover. I just gonna say in Midvail we call that was though. Be clear. That's was it. Okay. That passes unanimously despite Councilman Brown subject. That was my only intention. The only thing I refer to it is that's what UD do calls the project. And so lightly correct. I'm sure they would like that.

Okay. Moving on then. We have another um action item tonight. consider resolution number 2026R14 authorizing the mayor to sign a construction manager general contractor agreement with Big D construction corp big D for the new public works facilities. This is something um if there could be confetti and I think uh Glenn and Jeremy would do the confetti right now but this is a big step for our city. So Jeremy, will you explain?

Yes. Uh good to see you mayor and council again. um excited to bring this agreement to you for approval. Uh it's been a lot of work just to get off the ground and we're at that point where we've um selected a contractor and we are ready for your approval for the agreement. Um some project background here. In 2024, the city contracted with Galloway to complete a needs assessment and master plan of its current facilities. 2025, city purchased property to be used in the expansion project. Also in 2025, the city bonded for funds to be used in the expansion project. In 2025, city council approved a design services contract with Galloway for the public works expansion project. Galloway has created the initial site plan, continued to work with staff on design concepts for buildings, initiated environmental studies and engineering, prepared plats for consolidation, assists in preparing in our request for proposal package for selecting our contractor. Some additional information, the project is fully funded with $18 million from the bond and another five million in city funds that's already allocated for the project. Uh the construction guaranteed maximum price or cgmp was set at 17 million in the RFP for the construction phase. um selecting our contractor, the RFP package process. The city posted its package on January 8th of 2026 on the state of Utah procurement place aka Bonfire and I

think there's other names for that as well if you are familiar with it. Um, on January 21st, the city with Galloway held an on-site mandatory pre-bid meeting explaining the project and answering questions to the contractors. The city answered questions until January 27th and the RFP closed on January 29th of this year. There were 18 proposals submitted by contractors. U our selection committee our selection committee was formed to evaluate and select the contractor and it comprised of Nate Rockwood from the city administration Glenn Kennedy myself and Levi McNeel from public works Garrett Wilcox the city attorney to reviews the proposed contract edits and Jim Childs Galloway's principal architect. Uh the RFP selection criteria that we judged these on were CMGC experience with similar projects, proposed project team experience, approach to perform the work, overall construction schedule, and proposed contract modifications. The selection committee results after the members performed two rounds of scoring, Big Deconstructed was selected as the most qualified. As you can see on the screen there, we have the top four listed that went into the final round. Do we have any questions? Jeremy, when you say there were two rounds of voting, does that mean you ranked all 18 of them and say like, you know, you narrowed it down to five and then did

Correct. We narrowed it down to the top four where which with the initial scoring were was a very small margin and we felt it was necessary to do due diligence and make sure we were selecting the right contractor on this project and I know Glenn has mentioned this company has done other public works buildings recently. Correct. They've they've uh finished them for well they're almost finished with Murray City. They finished the transfer station and I know they've done they they've done a lot of projects in the valley.

Yeah, I think we've all probably heard their name and seen their projects. So, um, any questions from council for Jeremy or Glenn? And although I didn't bring an NCAA tie, I am going to ask you to suspend the rules and approve this if you don't have any further questions. And they have North Carolina blue. Whatever matches your team on here. Okay, there is the motion on the board for councel.

Mayor, I move that we suspend the rules and approve resolution number 2026-R14, a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign a construction manager/general contractor agreement with Big D Construction CPS uh for the construction of the new public works facility. Second. Okay, we have a motion and a second. Rory, we call the A's and A's. Yes. Council member Michelash, yes. Billings, yes. Glover. Hi, Robinson. Hi. And Brown. Yes.

Okay, that passes unanimously. Awesome. I think uh Glenn just jumped out of his seat there. Look forward to it. So, um next item, we have a request to table um action item C. We'll bring that to an upcoming council meeting, hopefully the one on April 7th. Um if there's a motion from council to table that item, that would be great. Mayor, I move we table resolution number 2026-R15 to the April 7th meeting. Oh, second.

Okay, we have a motion and a second. Like, wow, they really want to talk about this no matter what. Okay, we have a mo motion then a second to table this item. So, an I vote will be to table. A no vote would be to discuss it. Now, uh, Rory, we call the A's and A's on this one. Yes. Council member Billings, yes. Glover, I. Robinson, hi. Brown, yes. And Mlash, yes. Okay, we are tableabling that item for the future council meeting. Uh, moving on, we have two discussion items tonight. Uh, first is to discuss amending the fiscal year 2026 fee schedule. And here to discuss that, Mariah Hill, Administrative Services. Hi, Mariah.

Good evening, Mayor and Council. I told Matt I wasn't going to have a presentation and then I made one 30 minutes before we started. So, here we go. Uh, so we just had a few things come up. Five slides.

Four. So, we're going to make it. Uh, uh, I did start with my budget one as a template. So, I did have to delete about Yeah. Um, okay. So, we did have a few things come up across departments that it made sense for us to amend the fee schedule. Usually do this in the budget process, but because there was three or four across different departments, we just kind decided to do it. We'll discuss it now and then have a public hearing. That's the requirement to change the fee schedule at our next meeting before you adopt this. So, um the first change is to our building permit uh fee section. We have a list of over the counting counter build uh building permit fees. Furnace AC, that list right there. And they kind of were all different amounts. Um and then after uh discussing with our building official, these all require the issuance of a permit and an an inspection. And so, uh, looking at the cost of providing providing that, we just are moving them all to a fee of $65 with a 65 cent state search charge fee. So, that's the change on that to put those uniformly. Um, and then with our building and rental event fees, you have this in your packet, but basically there were there was some deposits that were different from each other and it would made some confusion. So, we're making the deposits uni uniform. And then again, between our resident and non-resident fees, the percentage charged between those wasn't uniform. So, we're just going through it actually reduces the non-resident fees by $5. So, just making uniformity. Uh, so that makes sense moving forward with our rentals. Um, then kind of the bigger change on this is that we are adding drought rates. So, this came to my attention as I was sitting in on some Jordan Valley Water um conservancy district meetings. They're looking they're doing a full rate study right now and they presented um drought rates and it it honestly had not been something that was on my radar before. Um and then they were like this is important. Theirs are are way more intense than what I am presenting here. Um but they were like if you are thinking about doing this you shouldn't

do it when the drought is in full force. So I'm just trying to preempt what we what Brandon was talking about what we might see coming. So, this will be based on the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District and our own drought level designation. They're kind of tied together, but we have level one to four. Um, and when we were looking at this as a finance department, we're really looking to ensure that revenue loss from a decrease in water usage doesn't impact our base operating needs in our water department so that we can still pay our employees, do what we need to for our water um, operations and make sure we can make our bond payments, which is pretty important. And then also there's a piece of that mixed in with the drought level designations that also we do want to drive some conservation as well with uh some drought rates. So um the last Jordan VA the last time we were at a level one drought with Jordan Valley water was in 2022. Um for Jordan Valley that had a D 12% reduction in consumption and for Midville it it we had a 20% reduction in consumption um during 2022. And the other piece of this is that this was what we're pres proposing finance put together over the last month or or so looking at the data that we have, but we are working um to move all of our our rate um and long-term financial planning into a software called Waterworth and they also have drought rate um monitoring and suggestions, but we're just like very in the beginning process of this. So this is a starting rate and I could see in the budget process or later on that um this might change when we have that full financial model built out. Um so here is what we're proposing. Oh, you know what I didn't actually put but it's uh level one we are not going to have any increase. Level two would be 25%

increase. Level three 50% and level four 75%. Jordan Valley's rates go up to like 200%, but that just feels um like it would have too much detriment on our residents. And so here's what it would look like in our current rate system. Um and this is only on consumption. Everyone pays the base rate that helps maintain operating. This isn't on that. This is just on your consumption charges. Um so you can see how that that would impact the tiers. And then um in our the average summer usage last year was 34,000 gallons on a average residential unit. Um so when we're looking at that and then looking down to actually what the average consumption was in 2022, that was 24,000 gallons. So really in level one, if we have that same reduction in consumption, everybody's bill will go down $24 on average. Um, and then you can see when we move to level two that their bill is still at a decrease but not as quite as much of detriment to the city's revenues. And then at level three, we're about breaking even at that 20. But probably the other piece of that, but I don't have the data to back it is that their usage would decrease even further. So really, I'm not I don't want this to be a massive um I don't want it to harm our residents in a big way. That's why it's not kind of the same as what Jordan Valleys is. and we'll have other conservation tools and things. This is just a a starting place to make sure and really at level one like what is being proposed this year, there won't be a change to our residence bills. Um but just kind of wanted to start the conversation and with the analysis we could do. This is where we landed. Um this is where finance felt comfortable with. So do you guys have any questions?

When's it going to rain? I am not a weatherman. Okay, we'll bring it back for a public hearing next time. Okay, thank you, Mariah. Uh, moving on to our second discussion item tonight, discussion of Midville City's participation in the remnant defendants settlement agreement. Here to discuss that is Garrett Wilcox, city attorney. Thank you. I'll go. Welcome, Garrett.

Thank you, Mayor. Um, I'm sure the last time I presented an opioid settlement agreement before you, um, I'm sure I thought just like you did that you'd never have to see me again. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, um this particular agreement didn't meet those three criteria that we set forth the last time to allow the mayor and staff to be able to execute joining a a settlement agreement. Um like the resolution that you passed the last time. So, this one is a bit unique. Uh I'm hoping by the title of the settlement agreement that this might be the last time I have to present an opioid agreement for you. Um but essentially these are a number of the pharmacy companies who are involved in filling prescriptions. The state of Utah was not involved in the negotiation of this agreement. And so that's one of the primary reasons why we couldn't just um sign it. and I'm here uh presenting it to you tonight. Uh they've agreed to about $97 million um countrywide as part of the settlement agreement before it goes to subdivisions and counties. Again, the state is not involved. um they'll remove administrative costs, attorneys fees which are quite substantial and then it'll be allocated based on population after that. We anticipate of that 97 million plus dollars um by the time it's allocated to us. The high estimate is about $5,000 that will be provided directly to Midvil City. um if we receive that money, if we join the agreement and we receive that money, uh it can only be used for certain

purposes. Um a number of those things were included in the staff report. Um things like being able to provide Narcan to first responders, uh education, things along those lines. So once we receive that money, um it will need to be set aside and accounted for separately to show that we used it for one of those purposes. Um, that is kind of the gist of this agreement. Does anyone have any questions for me? Any questions? Um, I did learn the word remnant. Uh, based on this, I've heard of remnant, but re-e is a different word that I didn't know before. might say more about me than anything else, but uh so you'll put this on uh for approval at our next council meeting

and and with your permission, if you're interested in approving it, if you don't mind if I put it on the consent agenda um if that's okay with the council. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thanks, Garrett. Uh so we do have a closed session tonight. Um but um for the in the interest of those who are here for the RDA item um if there's a motion to temporarily adjourn this meeting and do our redevelopment agency meeting we'll come back to the city council meeting and uh finish up that close session. So moved. Oh sorry I shouldn't say temporarily adjourn temporarily recess.

Yep. So moved. Second. Okay, we have a motion and a second. Um, all those in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Okay. Magically, we are now appearing as the redevelopment agency of Midbell City. Um, Rory, will you see who is still here and who may have left? Yes. So, board member Glover here. Billings here, Mich. Brown present. And Robinson

here. Okay, that is all of us. We are all here. Uh, moving on to public comments. Any person wishing to comment on any item not otherwise scheduled for a public hearing may do so now. You can re address the redevelopment agency by stepping up to the microphone. You'll be given three minutes. Seeing not one single flinch from the audience, uh we will move on then to approving the consent agenda. We have one item today and that is to consider the minutes of March 3rd, 2026. Is there a motion to approve the consent agenda? May I motion we approve the consent agenda? Second. Okay, we have a motion and a second. Rory, we call the yays and nays on this one. Yes. Board member Brown, yes. Mlush, yes.

Glover, I. Billings, yes. And Robinson, I. Thank you. Okay, that passes unanimously. Moving on, we have one action item tonight and it's a fun one. I'm excited about this. Moira is excited about this as well. Consider resolution number 2026 05 RDA approving the grant agreement between the redevelopment agency of Midwell City and Rebel Paw LLC for participation in the Main Street Activation Grant Program. Moira,

hello board members. I'd like to point out that we have the lovely Amelia and Nick with us, the owners of Rebel Paw, the company in question. Um, you might recall just a a short month ago I presented you with this grant program uh to help us bring more people to Main Street to help empower businesses to do their own events and to maintain uh momentum between cityrun events uh while also not increasing the burden on event staff. So we have our first application that we are very excited about. Um we have Rebel Paw uh and their proposed event is the Easter Hound Hunt. So, an Easter egg hunt for dogs where more than 300 eggs will be filled with treats and prize tickets and hidden along Main Street and Midvail City Park. Um, so in these uh eggs, there will be treats for the dogs to sniff out and then a ticket that can only be redeemed at the Rebel Paw physical location on Main Street. Uh, so they have an expected attendance of 200 people that we're very excited about. Uh you can see on the PowerPoint um an example of what the prize uh ticket will look like inside the eggs. Here's an overview of the event costs. And I would like to point out that um although eggs will be placed that in places other than Main Street, the grant will only cover any costs associated with Main Street items. Um, so this event is large and will bring a lot of people outside of Midvail to Midvail Main Street, but all funds will only be used for the Midvail uh supplies. Um, so we have prizes, we have the eggs, they're going to have a really fun photo booth. Um, they're going to have a free craft for people um with a free paw print and they're also going to have a build your own Easter basket for your dog, which is going to be very fun. Um, and they're working very hard to get prizes from Main Street businesses and then other pet companies across the valley. And we're also very excited that in their uh budget that they provided us, they're spending a lot of money on

marketing, which was part of the point of this whole program was to help show it to everybody, bring it to Main Street. Uh, so the total cost of this event is 1,400. They're a little over and their amount requested is $77.50. Um, you may remember our total grant award per person is $1,000. So, they are underneath that. Um, so the total fiscal impact for this grant will be $77.50 out of the 3,000 total budget for this program. Any questions? Where do we sign up?

That sounds amazing. Um, I'm looking forward to the event. One of my dogs will be there. The other one would just bark at all the other dogs and be a distraction. So, I'll bring one of mine. Any questions from council? No, I just wanted to say this is so exciting that we already have businesses that are utilizing this program and we really hope that you guys realize that this city is supporting you and we like what you're doing and please do more of it. So, um in fact, since you guys are here, if you want to come up and say anything about the event or you don't have to. Moira covered it as she always does in a second thought.

And if you just want to state your name for the record. My name is Amelia Pollson. Um I am the co-owner of Robopon, Nicholas Black, my partner back there. Um we did this event last year very unofficially, you know, much on our own. Um a lot of prizes were donated and it was so successful. People just absolutely loved it. We had people coming in getting their prizes and then wanting to go out and find more and they just loved hunting eggs with their dogs. So, it's it's a it's an exciting event. How many participants did you have last year? Do you like ballpark?

I would say around 200, maybe a little bit under um hard to we hid 200 eggs and they were all collected and found and most people were getting like three four eggs. So, That's hard. Do that math. But yeah. Yeah, it's a fun event. So, we appreciate the support. We're excited to be the first event. Thank you. Thank you.

And I just like to say I think it was the day after uh you guys officially approved the grant program.
