“Thank you. I just have a couple of curious questions. So when it comes to the chargers, do you ever see us reaching max capacity where there are folks who are looking for a charger to be had, but they're not available?”

“Thank you. I fully support the efforts to move towards the level one charge in terms of what that looks like. I will say I do know that, you know, having a family member who has an electric vehicle, that there are more and more of these charging stations that are coming online that do charge overages, like if you're just hanging out there. AND I GUESS IT'S NOT A NEED FOR HERE NOW AND TODAY BUT ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF SOME OF THOSE HIGH USE AREAS THAT MAY BE SOMETHING WORTH LOOKING INTO IN THE FUTURE JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO HAVE AVAILABILITY AS OPPOSED TO THE 3.97 DAYS BECAUSE THAT NUMBER…”

“Thank you. I concur on the mailer piece. I was just running some quick numbers based on what's in the presentation. So if we do conservative estimates around that there's 200,000 residents, 77% is 154,000 individuals if we go one per that could be impacted. And so based on the 152 responses we've seen in the survey, that's less than 0.1%. And again, I think that in terms of scale, for me, I'd just like to see an opportunity for us to get the word out. I think, and I say this with all sincerity, you guys set the bar really high with mixed use zone. And I think that the department and all of…”

“Yeah, so I'm just going to build on those statements to say I think one of the things that I found to be like the most useful is even in the times that you've come to present when we have visuals. The visuals, I think, make a huge difference in terms of the accessibility. And I think the team does a really great job of presenting it that way. I think sometimes when you put like, well, here's the actual text. you know like most people are like i have no idea what that means um and so you know that there's already a lot of great materials around that and i think it's just around being able to…”

“Yes, you just set it up perfectly, Director Norris. So since we have our fearless legislative director here in the room as well, I do think that that's the other piece of this conversation. I continually see a lot of interest at the state level in terms of affordability. And oftentimes what I've seen as the proposed legislation tends to look like kind of shifting that land use authority from the municipality to the state level. For me, there appears to be a lot of opportunity to be able to kind of flesh out that landscape of these are all the other restrictions that we're battling against to…”

“THANK YOU. SO I APPRECIATE THIS OVERVIEW AND, YES, SO I GUESS I THINK A COUPLE OF THINGS. SO ONE IS THAT I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. And I still sometimes struggle with the acronym pieces. And I think that that's also noted not just as a council member, but also as members of the public. And so I would wonder if there's opportunities to be able to maybe, whether it's a graphic or looking at the naming conventions, just to make it that much more clear on What is the purpose? What does this group do? And then that way, when you interact and engage with them, you know who to thank.…”

“POTENTIALLY. POTENTIALLY. SO THERE'S A LOT OF THAT YOU SO THERE'S A LOT OF THAT YOU SO THERE'S A LOT OF THAT YOU HAVE TO WORK THROUGH OVER TIME. HAVE TO WORK THROUGH OVER So the entire state of Utah does not have a single student information system across all of K-12. We've yet to be able to achieve that. And that is a single government entity that oversees that. So I appreciate that the lift is large. I guess my takeaway and my support for continuing the conversation is that there were so many times where we were this close to doing it. And it was one of those, nope, the scope's too large.…”

“I JUST HAD ONE I GUESS ADDITIONAL QUESTION. IN THE CASE THAT LET'S SAY THE ROUTING HAPPENS but then maybe extra people get notified that there's a challenge or a concern. Do we have a policy or a protocol or a recommendation on how if we all show up and we're like, oh, OK, well, this team's got it, that we're allowing other resources to then be redeployed elsewhere? Does that make sense, kind of what I'm saying?”

“Yeah, and I guess, like, so the way I could see this happening, here's my scenario. Lisa um but would be so let's say there's an incident and we have multiple people calling in and the multiple people calling in are reporting different aspects of the incident and then all of the sudden all of our city teams get there and they're like wait a minute you're here you know and so like just how how that transpires in terms of just being thoughtful about not overwhelming a situation and tying up city resources when they were maybe other needs.”

“decide amongst themselves who's gonna take responsibility for that call so perfect I think that's how that usually that's helpful yes thank you sorry it was just a question I had like related to how we're also not overwhelming a scene related to resources just noting there's so many needs across the city so”

“Oh my gosh, I could talk about Ben forever. So I think one of the things that I appreciate about Ben most, and I'll share with the other council members, is that your interests in the city are so diverse. And I think you've touched on many of those experiences and commitments already and how you've shown up to represent and kind of serve the voice of your community. um but whether you were reaching out to me about a park that was in your area or chatting with me about some of the road construction and the impacts on businesses um you know talking about our needs in the public safety sector…”
