City Council - Regular Meeting

I don't know where it came from. It's not me. Oh, look at that.

I talked to her a little bit this morning but that was it.

and your friends.

All right.

So.

Thank you.

Sure.

Ready when you are, Mayor.

Okay, welcome everybody to our council meeting. Today is September 15th, and it's 5.30, and I'd like to welcome Council Member Spahr, Council Member Saxton, Council Member Jackson, Council Member Wilson, and Council Member Holbert. And Council Member Spahr is going to lead us in the moment of silence in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Okay, everybody, thank you. Start by having a moment of silence. Thank you. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Okay, first now we'll have our business items. So we'll have Theron and Chief King, I mean, come up and talk, so...

Thank you, Mayor. Thank you, Council. Tonight, especially, we're wanting to do our badge pinning for the promotion of Josh Gorder, battalion chief, and Cameron Moultrie as a captain. So how we'll do this, I'm first going to, and we'll make this as brief as we can, but I think it's appropriate to to explain not only to you as a council, but to the public what goes into the testing. We had great applicants for the first week to the battalion chief promotion. We had some great candidates. All of them were equal to that position, but Josh did an exceptional job and came out number one on our process. I just want to go over real quick about the process. It's not easy at all. So they were assigned an assignment before the testing that they had to do a presentation on some things that we felt like that we could approve on as a department. And so they were assigned this. They had to do a PowerPoint. We do that purposely. They have to do it in a certain timeframe. And then they're given certain criteria that they need to present on. And so when they come into, a lot of all of our testers were third party outside of the department, very credible captains, battalion chiefs, and chiefs from other departments. And so they came in and did that. They're also assigned questions. So they came in, did their presentation to a panel of five chiefs and battalion chiefs. They were scored on that. Right after that, they're given a five minute break, come back inside for their questions. They go back outside, come back in for six interview questions. That's just the beginning of it. Then they go into a scenario based, it's what's called a static, where it allows them to stop more so like a tactical. They were taken upstairs to the administration office where they're given 20 minutes to review a scenario, which was very challenging. AND TWO WEEKS LATER WE HAD THE BIG FIRE IN ROY. THAT WAS THE FIRE OF THE SCENARIO. IT WAS ROW RUNNER, APARTMENTS ON FIRE, A TRAFFIC VICTIM ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE TRAIN TRACKS, ACCESS PROBLEMS, SO A VERY COMPLEX SCENARIO. The two chiefs I did, one was the Northview chief who teaches for Euphra, very experienced. The other was the battalion chief for South Jordan who also teaches for the fire academy and they couldn't imagine a more difficult but appropriate scenario. So they'd go through that. The next one was they had to also do a tactical scenario. And this is a live one. We had the EFR trailer here where we had testers and role players. So all of this went into the testing. And so I think it's important you know how difficult the test was. It's unlike a lot of different tests that you see. But we feel like the tests need to be difficult and challenging to see who the best applicant was. With that being said, Chief Gorder is now what his title will be. I'd like him to come up and whoever he selected to do his badge pinning, we're going to do the badge and also the lapel bugles. And I've asked him that he can either have one person or two, whoever he wants to do it. So after that, I'll have Chief King come up and he'll explain the captain's test and do the same thing. With that, I just want to congratulate Chief Gorder. As the sunset is fading on my career, one of the best things that we can do as Chiefs is to promote exceptional individuals with high character, and I am absolutely confident that Chief Gorder is going to do exceptionally well. It's not just in the position, it's the influence that he will have on the next generation of firefighters. So this is critically important to me, that I know the safety and well-being of our firefighters will be in good hands. And so, with that being said, I'd like to invite Chief Gorder up, and whoever he selected, and family members, please feel free to come take pictures, okay? Chief Gorder.

you guys want.

so chief gorder i know you have other family members would you like to introduce any of them i know your mom and dad's here

You guys stand up so we can see who you are. We just don't know who all the fans are. Is that OK?

We don't mean to embarrass you, but it's important.

Just real quick, I know these meetings go long, but I think it's good. We don't get these moments back very often, so I want to give Chief Gord just a minute. He likes to speak a lot, but just a minute. But these moments are very precious, and I'd like him to have a moment to say something real quick.

I'll keep it short. I just want to say thanks to everybody that's here. This is kind of a big deal for me. Getting promoted is very honoring to me. But it's not me that really does this. It's like my family, first and foremost, my wife, Nikki, she has to, people say it a lot with our career that it's hard, but it really is. Like we miss a lot of stuff, which means she has to do extra to take our kids to places. And she just kind of keeps the family going. So it's not really me that does this. So I have a lot of credit to her. My two boys, this is pretty cool to have them come up and pin me. It's pretty cool for me. and then all my family that's here. I got a big family, so I've had support my whole life. My brother Jason that's here, he's a firefighter out at Northview, a captain at Northview. He's the one that got me in the fire service to begin with, so a lot of this is owed to him. And then just my family, support I've had from them has been awesome. And then the rest of these guys, along the back wall. Most of them are on my crew. So when I first got promoted, I went to this crew and it was awesome. And then I got moved for about three years and then now I get to come back. So pretty excited to come back and work with them all and just look forward to the future and it's exciting. So thank you.

Thank you.

So those are gonna be big shoes to fill. So Cameron Moultrie is our captain that got promoted once Mr. Gorder decided to move up the ranks and help out. So he opened up a spot for Cameron Moultrie. So I wanna take a moment to share how we approach our promotional testing process and why it matters so much to our department and the community. As we open a position, especially one as critical as a fire captain, we follow a structured, transparent testing process. This includes written assessments, practical skill evaluations, and interviews designed to measure their leadership, experience, and decision making, and the ability to perform under pressure. Our goal is simple, to ensure every candidate is evaluated fairly and based solely on their qualifications and their performance. We are committed to promoting the best candidate for the position, someone who not only meets the technical requirements, but also demonstrates integrity, professionalism, and a strong dedication to the service of the residents of Roy. Our firefighters deserve strong leaders and our community deserves the highest level of service. Thank you for our continued trust and support. We remain committed to building a team that reflects the values of the Royce City Fire and provides exceptional service to our citizens for every day. So that being said, Captain Moultrie.

Do you want to introduce your family? Yes, I'd love to. My wife, Caitlin, our son, Cal, and then my mom and dad are here. OK. Thank you. OK, thank you.

I sent my speech to Chief Gorder, and I didn't know he was going to use it all, so I'm not sure what I have to say. Obviously, again, my family, similar to Chief Gorder, my family's been big for me and done. Obviously, this isn't a one-man operation. My wife Kate, she obviously keeps the home fires burning and taking care of stuff. And obviously we've had some difficult stuff in the last year. To think about doing this without her seems unimaginable. And then obviously Cal and Harper, they're the sweetest kids. We love them. As far as the promotion goes, I didn't get here on my own. I've had a lot of great leaders that have challenged me and helped me a lot in this room. I'm grateful for the opportunity and for the trust that's been placed on me. And again, just wanna thank the city and department and my family. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for allowing us this opportunity to do the ceremony and the back praying. And the councilor, thank you to the public for your time. We're just gonna have the families go downstairs into the conference room and I'll be right back. So thank you very much.

Okay, thank you. Thank you and congratulations. Thank you very much. Thank you.

Okay, we'll go ahead with our consent items. Do I have a motion to approve the consent items? so moved do i have a second second all in favor say aye aye okay now we'll go into our public comment period just want to remind everyone that we ask all the attendees to treat one another city staff and elect officials with courtesy and respect outbursts clapping shouting interruptive discussions or any behavior that disrupts the orderly conduct of the meeting will be not permitted individuals who engage in disruptive behavior will be warned if the behavior continues they will be asked to leave the meeting so that city council can continue conducting the public's business we appreciate everyone's cooperation and maintaining a respectful environment where all voices can be heard so right now we'll have our public comment period start and you get come up and just tell us your name and you get three minutes

My name is Kevin Homer. I live here in Roy. I just wanted to make a couple of comments on the action item coming up, specifically for 26-10 and 26-11. That project is about a block and a half south of where I live right now. And I had the chance to review the packet information of what this proposal is going to involve. And it's a very interesting proposal. I think it will result in some good things for the city. It'll ultimately provide a little bit more housing in the city. I would let you know that I support 26-10 and 26-11, and I would ask you all to vote in favor of it. On a little bit of a personal note related to it, it's only in the last week that I've learned about these two families that helped out Roy 25, 30 years ago by selling great big chunk of land where my house now sits. And all of my neighbors now have our houses there. So for me, I didn't know it, but I owe them a little bit of debt of gratitude. So I appreciate what they're trying to do. Anyway, if you would, please vote in favor of 2610 and 2611. Thank you. Thank you.

Any more comments? Okay, then we'll go on to our action items and Brody will lead us in those.

Good evening, Mayor, Council. Thank you. Action item number one is consideration of ordinance 26-9. This is changes to Title 10 of Roy City Code, specifically allowing what is called detached ADUs. This was brought on by specific legislation from the state which requires cities to have ordinances that allow essentially what we put into code. The state statute gave us until October 1st to comply with that requirement, otherwise they're allowed via the state law. This went to Planning Commission. There was a public hearing as required. There wasn't any comments made by the public on this issue. Planning Commission, Had some discussion about the language and then forwarded unanimously the language that's before you. And honestly, we've had a few lawyers look it over. It seems to fit what's required. It seems to make sense in our brains anyway. With that kind of introduction and summary, I'd ask if there's any questions of me and otherwise give it to you as the counsel.

So counsel, do you have any comments or questions for Rhody?

My only comment is to say thank you to yourself and Steve and everyone else that worked on this to make sure that we're in compliance with the state law. So thank you.

Yeah, and so everyone's clear. It was Steve and the Planning Commission that did most of the work. We just kind of did some review of it. So they did a good job.

Any more comments? So do we have a motion to approve 26-9?

So moved.

Do we have a second? So seconded. Do we have a roll call vote?

Council Member Spahr? Aye. Council Member Saxton? Aye. Council Member Wilson?

Aye.

Council Member Jackson? Aye. Council Member Hulbert?

Aye.

Okay, now 26-10.

Okay, Mayor and Council, ordinances both 26-10 and 26-11 are regarding The property's located at 3934 and 3960 West, 5500 South here in Roy. It's just west of the canal, I believe, right there. Two parcels, it's a little over 3 1⁄2 acres. This came to the city via the applicant and property owner, Mr. Obershaw, who I believe is here. I'll just kind of introduce this item and then let him talk to the council and then... Ask any questions you will of him. I'm happy to answer any questions as well. But this is a rezone request. 26-10 would amend the general plan and the future land use map to be consistent with any zoning change, which is required to do before any zoning change. 26-11, the request is to change it from an R18 zone to an R4, which is a multifamily residential for those three and a half acres. And if there's any specific question for me now, otherwise I'll turn it over to Mr. Openshaw, the property owner in Appleton.

Thank you for letting me present this to you today. I appreciate it. My name's James Openshaw. I live at 3066 West, 5500 South. I'm here to represent my brother and my sister and myself and the Binions on rezoning the property of R18 to R4. I've got a background in the city. I was born here in the city. I've been here my whole life, 66 years. I went to Roy Elementary, Roy High, and worked for Roy City for 28 years. So I've seen a lot of growth in this town and seen a lot of things that has happened. So to give you a little bit of a timeline of what's happened here, back in 1970, my mom and dad bought this property to build a house on and have some animals there. We had cows and horses and pigs and chickens We even had a few racehorses there too. And my uncle on the piece right next to him, he had a lot of racehorses there. And that's what was done with the property for quite a few years. In 1998, the people sold the property, my uncle's portion there where you can see where the new development was. They sold that to him and then they wanted to buy my dad's property. And my dad says, no, he wasn't gonna sell and he wasn't ready to get rid of his property. So they come up with an agreement where they would trade property. So we traded that yellow part there in the front for part of the, that we gave back there in the back and then let them have all that green space right there where it says, where it starts from the yellow and goes up to the other yellow. He traded that portion for that portion there. And so that gave us that frontage on 5,600. But in 1998, well, and my dad, he had four lots there and he sold those four lots. But in 2018, we had the same property there. At this time, the Banyans had moved in. And I think they moved in in about 1993 is when they moved in next door. And they had that piece of property there. Well, we was going to develop that back piece right there in the green. And when they did the other development, I was working for the city at that time. I told my dad that it'd probably be a good idea if we put in the improvements and everything into that road back there so when we did decide to develop there, that then we'd all be in place and we wouldn't have to care up a brand new road. So we traded that prop when we traded and then we had that, so we sold that in 2018. That's when my dad just died right after we sold that and we had those, we had seven lots there and the Bennions had three. We asked the Bennions, if they wanted to get on board with us and do the same thing that we was doing, and they said they would like to. So on to the next one there. So right now, this is what we had planned to do. We need to go. It's not lining up with, there we go, right there. Okay, so after we did those lots in the back there, we was going to keep the original house where it was at when my mom, my dad, after my mom passed away. And we was going to leave the original house, and then we was going to sell those three lots. So the state come in and put in the new curb and gutter. We owned to the middle of the road at that time. We had to donate the property so the state could come in, put the curb and gutter and stuff in. That wasn't a problem there. But at that time, they wanted us to move our access where our home was. And they wanted to line it up with that road right there. And I asked, well, why was that? He says, because you guys can only have one access there. And I says, well, we've got plans to develop this property. He says, we won't give you no more access to this road. There's too many cars going to be going up and down this road. And you guys are going to have to do something else, because we won't allow any access. So at that time, we thought, well, now what are we gonna do? So my mom just recently passed away, and we decided, now it's in a trust, and me and my brother and my sister, we don't wanna keep it. I'm the one that's been taking care of it now for the last 15 years, helping my mom and dad out, and I've got other plans for my life, and it's not taking care of two acres of ground. We could sell the house just like it is. but then we have all that property next to it. We sell it to an individual. Who knows what kind of an individual's gonna move in there. We could have somebody move in there that's a very clean person, very great person, that just does nothing but just mold the field and make it look nice, kind of like what my dad did, because at one time, we was not able to have animals there no more. It'd be a perfect place for somebody that wanted to have some animals there, but that's not gonna realistically gonna happen. Because people, once they move into a residential place like that, they don't like the smell and stuff. So we understood that. So at that time, we were trying to figure out what we was gonna do. So if we could move on to the next slide. So we decided that, why don't we just try to rezone this and then we'll just sell it and whoever buys it can do with what they want with it as an R4. So we put in our paperwork to come to the Planning Commission last week and we was able to talk with them and they approved us to come to this point. So I'm here today to ask you That with the hardship that we have on this property right now, we can't do anything with it but sell this to Only House. And what we would like to do is sell the property as R4, have a developer come in. They could do one access for the property, okay? And that would be right straight across the road, which the state wouldn't have a problem with. The Banyans, we've asked them to get on board with this if they'd like to, and Kathy Banyan agreed to do it. Her son is here today, and he would like to get up and say a few things, too, after we get done. But we are here today to ask that we can rezone this from R18 to R4 for this purpose to happen so we can go ahead and move forward with this property and sell it. And if you go to the last slide. Oh, no. Anyways. Yeah, it just shows basically what we just seen, but it wasn't in color. But it just shows what it is today, just with the Banyans there and us there with nothing else. So we're here to do that. So if you guys wouldn't take a minute and listen to Mr. Banyan, I appreciate it.

Would you guys have any questions for Mr. Openshaw so far? No? Okay. Mr. Banyan.

So my name's Jason Harrison and I represent my mother, Kathy Binion, who resides at 3960 West, 5500 South. Our family has lived in the home since 1993 and have enjoyed our relationship with the Openshaws. Grateful that they were willing to consider us in as they were considering what to do with their property. We too kind of are in a similar circumstance where the one access point makes it difficult for us to do much with the property that's there, especially the property to the west. My stepfather died in 2018. My mother's health is not good. she's unable to take care of the property my brothers and i have been working to maintain it and keep it in condition but we're at a point too where we need to do something with that property because we cannot continue to do what we've been doing and with mother's health the way that it is she's looking at additional options we feel like this would be a great benefit to her personally to give her as much as she can out of this property if she were to sell so that she can kind of maintain her living. So we fully support what the Openshaws are doing and would like to be connected with them in this consideration. Thank you. Okay.

Council, do you have any questions or comments? Okay, can we have a motion then? 426, I guess we have to do them separate.

A move that we approve the amendment to the general plan future land use map from single family residential to multifamily residential.

So do I have a second? Second. So roll call vote, Brittany.

Council member Halbert.

Aye.

council member wilson aye council member jackson aye council member spar aye council member saxton aye okay thank you thank you very much and now make a motion to amend the zoning map from r18 single family residential to r4 multi-family residential

Okay, do I have a second? I second. Okay, roll call vote.

Councilmember Jackson? Aye. Councilmember Spahr? Aye. Councilmember Wilson? Aye. Councilmember Holbert?

Aye.

Councilmember Saxton?

Aye. Okay. Sorry you had so many problems with that access. That's a very difficult challenge to be in. It is, yeah, sorry, very sorry about that. Okay, thank you.

Mayor, council again.

Thank you. So the next items for you are very similar procedural. This is a request for approximately 3426 West, 5300 South. This is a request for a zoning change from RE15 to urban corridor. Again, 26-12 is an amendment to the general plan future land use map to allow that to be lawful, and then 26-13 would change that. change that zoning designation. This parcel abuts another parcel that is connected right there on 5200 South, I believe, which is the urban corridor kind of down by the clinic right there. And what's essentially kind of the summary of this is the developer of that parcel is purchasing the land in question. and there's a house on it now and essentially they're going to subdivide so the house would stay and then the parcel that connects to the the commercial project lot that's what we'll call it they would like to add this to be part of that and use the urban corridor i know a representative is here so i'll let him speak more unless there's questions specifically for me at this time okay

My name is Jerry Robinson, live in Sandy. I'm an architect working on the property on 5200 South. My client was approached by the owner of a lot to the south of it about buying part of the parcel. And after looking at it, it seemed like it would support the whole project by providing parking, perimeter landscaping, trees around the outside. Our purpose on the property to the north is to put multifamily housing, especially 55 and older people who might be of retirement age or approaching that can live there and have a nice place to live. Our hope is to put a pickleball court on the property. and make it a nice addition. The whole idea of this project is to provide affordable housing and it's a great location because it's next to a clinic, down the street from a recreation center and a golf course and a church. They can walk everywhere. Maybe they don't need a car. So I wanna emphasize that the remaining lot will meet the zoning standard of a minimum 15,000 square feet. And we plan to have no pedestrian or automobile connection onto the property to the south. So no impact at all.

Okay, any questions, council? I think it's a great location, especially right next to the Ogden Clinic, like I agree with you, and the aquatic center and the golf course.

You can walk to everything.

Right. You just have to have someone bring your groceries, and then you're good.

I guess I have a question, just to help me understand a little better. You mentioned the size of the lots is within the zoning. So why is it that it's here at Council if it matches the current zoning?

The lot originally was closer to 34,000 square foot lot. Exceptionally large for most homes. And it's currently zoned R15, I think, R15. and in order to change it to urban corridor so it can be used in conjunction with the apartments, we have to change the zoning so the uses will match.

so what you're saying is that that portion with the home on that amount of land is over 15 000 square feet so it still meets the zoning there where the home is in that cul-de-sac and that way there's no problem with that home and then that last that that distal portion um that's correct that extra just goes there it's one of the largest lots in the neighborhood and it's just losing a chunk of lawn to mow on the back

the very back of it. The backyard, I'm guessing from memory, was probably 60 to 70 foot deep behind the house. That's not a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

Any other questions?

Yeah, I just went and looked at it and I think for that use would be well used. And that plot, that little section's not large enough either to build on, so that would be for sure some kind of green, either recreational or parking or something like that.

It's a combination of recreation and parking, anything within the zone. We don't plan to put any buildings, any units on that property.

Thank you. So I have a motion for 26-13. So moved. I have a second. 12. Oh, sorry. Oh, we're already? Sorry, I'm too far ahead. 26-12.

So moved.

Is that a motion to approve?

Yes, a motion to approve, yeah.

OK. OK, Brittany? A roll call vote. Second. Oh, yes. Didn't you say second?

I was moved and then I don't know. I was just clarifying.

A motion to approve or?

Oh, yeah. Okay, do I have a second? Yes, a second here. Okay, now a roll call vote.

Aye.

Council Member Jackson? Aye. Council Member Saxton? Aye. Council Member Spahr?

Aye.

Council Member Wilson?

Aye. OK, so.

Move that we approve the request to amend the zoning map from RE15 to UC Urban Corridor.

So do we have a motion? Second. I mean, a second.

I'll second.

OK, so roll call vote.

Council Member Jackson?

Aye.

Council Member Saxton? Aye. Council Member Spahr?

Aye.

Council Member Wilson?

Aye.

Council Member Holbert?

Aye. Okay. So now Janelle will do resolution 26-25.

Yes, and you'll have to bear with me if my voice goes weird. So as per our discussion some months ago in our meeting, I've been working on the Youth City Council, or I mean, sorry, Youth Council for Roy City, and this would be to basically make it more formal. In the past, we've had, just the background, we've had Roy High students come in and represent the youth in our community, but many cities around us have their own Youth Council, and I thought this would be a nice way to get the youth more involved in civics locally. So anyway, hopefully had a chance to read through it, and this was the first one I had to write out by myself, and then it got checked by the lawyers, so that was... so i feel pretty proud about that he only had to fix you know a billion things so it was fine so anyway um but i just think it would be a great benefit to our city and i would love to answer any questions you might have

Well, I already brought up my questions to you, but I think I'll just bring them up so other people kind of know what that is. I think one of the things that is in the works but won't be done specifically was just the term, and so you mentioned that you'd kind of be considering that after you get in, and I think that's important so we can add that at some point in time.

And to clarify, we have a term limit for the adults, but right now it's not written in there for the students or the youth yet, but that probably is something we'll consider and let the youth help decide, and then as part of this we said we'd come back in a year and go through that, so.

And then I think just a couple of other things that we're thinking about. I think that when people contribute a little bit, they have more ownership. And so I think the discussion is going to be whether or not the students have a few little dues or if there needs to be something that goes towards the cost of background checks and stuff. And I think that can be part of the process as that's evaluated. But I appreciated that being brought up. Those were some of my thoughts.

Yeah, and also to clarify, because this was something she brought up to me was the background checks are just for the adult leaders, just because they'll be working with youth and we'll have too deep leadership. I just, I just personally feel that's really important. And I'm assuming that the city prefers that as well. And so the kid, the students, the youth will not be getting background checks, just to clarify that just so that people understand.

And are you getting the donations? You're getting donations?

Yeah, so it'll be funded by donations and we have one donation in already so we can start with the background checks for the adults and get things rolling and then I'm working on some additional ones. whatever the donation is, is just what we'll spend. So if we have $500, then we just spend $500 and don't get to do quite as many things. And if we have, you know, a couple thousand dollars, then the student or the youth will get to do whatever fits within that budget as well, so.

Okay. Any more comments? So do I have a motion for 26-25? So moved. I have a second. A SECOND TO APPROVE. WE HAVE A ROLL CALL VOTE.

AYE. COUNCILMEMBER HOLBERT.

AYE.

COUNCILMEMBER WILSON.

AYE.

COUNCILMEMBER SAXTON. AYE. COUNCILMEMBER JACKSON.

AYE. OKAY. NOW WE'RE JUST GOING TO GO ON TO THE DISCUSSION ITEM. I WAS JUST GOING TO BRING UP ASK IF WE WANT TO DO THE HALLOWEEN contest this year. We would ask for residents to either enter their own houses or their neighbors. We'd have the cutoff date October 22nd and give that to Brittany. We'd have by the 26th, the Friday, Saturday, Sunday to go out and and judge and she would give us our map to go around. I think it's a great idea. I just think more and more people, I mean, I've already seen yards decorated, and it's just something fun. I always take my kids and grandkids with me, and it's just a fun activity. And rather than, in the past, we've given $100 for first place, 75 for second, and 50 for third, and we thought about maybe giving passes to the complex, because that gets you to the complex, eight passes for first place six passes for second place and four passes for third place so what do you guys think about that any comments or discussions or that way it gets you those kids and residents of the complex and maybe haven't been there so I like it a lot yeah

yeah okay i think that it really enhances that community feeling that community cohesion and to have the the the prizes as part of that again it just really helps that grow so i think that actually is nice so it gives brittany a little bit of work to do she has to put the map together and give us the addresses and stuff we appreciate everything brittany does for us

Yeah, I know my kids and I have enjoyed taking the little map and going around to all the places before. And I think, Jason, haven't you participated in it in the past? I feel like you're a big Halloween person.

I did in the past. I haven't done it for a few years because time constraints. But I still have all of the electronics.

The possibilities.

Still won't be doing it this year. This is a little bit more time consuming. So, yes. I do appreciate me a good Halloween display.

and so um i don't know what they're talking about so but we'll have then the council members and me um if any of you feel that it gets close and something happens and you can't fulfill your obligation to go around and judge then just let one of us know and i know we could get somebody else to probably go out and take your place if if need be so so we'll talk about christmas uh we'll probably end up doing probably about the same thing as that gets closer and We'll bring that up as far as we can tell. Then we'll go ahead and put the announcement on the website.

Yeah, I think the passes, don't you all agree?

Yes, I think so. I think the passes is a really good way to do it. Right, okay. okay i i should have done this at the beginning so i apologize daisy daisy robinson is one of our sbo officers at roy high and she we have homecoming week coming up so she would like to take a few minutes and discuss what that all entails so okay so um

Sunday we're gonna start with our intersection painting it would be about two two o'clock three ish so the intersection in front of Roy High will be closed for a little bit on 4800 while we get that taken care of and then on Monday we're just gonna have we'll have our super assembly during school There will be a movie at 5.30. We're playing Napoleon Dynamite, and Pro Start will be cooking us some different foods for people who pre-purchase tickets. We're only allowing blankets in the gym, and then that'll be the first day to buy homecoming tickets. Tuesday, we have twin day, and then we'll be giving popsicles out after school in the commons. On Wednesday, it's we mean business, so we're gonna have some nicely dressed people at school. And then the clubs will be doing sidewalk chalk outside by the weight room, just to kind of promote what they've got going on. And then Thursday is dress as your younger self. We'll have the parade at six from Roy Junior to Roy High, and then we'll have the pep rally immediately after inside. I think we're doing the large auditorium. and then on friday the we're matching the theme for the football game so class colors seniors white sophomores black and juniors gold or yellow and then our football game against clearfield at seven and that'll be the last day to buy homecoming tickets until three o'clock and then saturday we've got the dance uh eight to ten on the football field okay well because of the fire restrictions this year that um

They decided, the superintendent, they decided to not let any schools do any fireworks this year. So I'll probably maybe make the neighbors down there happy too. No fireworks, no bonfire, any of that. But I know our athlete director has a few surprises for the game. So hopefully we'll have a full house and hopefully we'll have a win and have great weather and it looks good. So yeah.

Hopefully we'll have one.

You guys have any comments or questions?

Thank you.

Sounds like a full week. Yeah, exciting.

It'll be fun.

And I'm proud of you guys for when you can't do some of these things that you've adjusted and planned other really fun things. And I think that the movie thing sounds fun. I haven't heard of that before, so that's cool.

Yeah, we kind of wanted to involve some more clubs. Nice. I think they're buying the food, so everything...

every ticket that they sell is going straight back to them so yeah that's awesome i like that idea okay well thank you so much for coming daisy and so now manager's report just one item for you uh don't forget about the the city dumpsters september 28th through october 3rd monday through friday 6 30 a.m to 5 p.m and then again on saturday 8 to 3 p.m

okay um i just wanted to tell everybody we're having our first day of service for my hometown it's going to be this saturday at the george wallen park we're all meeting there at eight o'clock if anybody wants to come and help out they're having um this will be the only one that royce city will be conducting this year next year that we'll have five of them we'll have May, June, well, four of them, I guess. May, June, August, September. But they've already got five houses lined up. They've already been cutting down trees. Gonna help these houses out tremendously. And then afterward, everyone will convene back at George Wallen Park, and I think they have like 600 tacos ordered. So you come and help out and work at the event, then you get to have a free taco. so yeah great reward this is going to be a really great thing for our city we can't wait um it's gone to a lot of work to get this going and um next year it's going to be even bigger and better so anyway that's all I have so okay Brian

Just real quick, I wanted to thank fire and police for the 9-11 tribute. It had over 500 positive reactions from our residents, and I just wanted you guys to know that. Thanks.

Yes, thank you.

Well, I'm excited about the first My Hometown Day of Service. So rah, rah, rah, shish, boom, bah. Let's get everyone there because I think it's going to be a great thing to get started. And I see blue skies ahead. You know, a few little bumps along the way, but... I think that the end result, the outcomes are going to be great. And Roy community is already has more of a cohesive feeling than a lot of other places and this is only going to increase and augment that. So I'm excited and thanks to everyone that's been helping because I know there's staff involved as well as all of the volunteers. So if you're ever listening to this, whoever's out there in the space listening, come and bring your neighbors and then we'll look forward to next year as well. So thanks. all your work on that. Thank you.

I've got a couple things, just real quick. The first one is that I've noticed the, what do we call that technically, when it's got the speed limit and then you got the flashing numbers? Yeah, that one. Anyway, that's now on Midland, and so I believe that was directly a response to the resident that came and brought his concern to the council, and so I just, I've noticed it, and I've noticed a change just as I drive it, and I hope that the residents who live on the road have noticed it as well, and I didn't invite him personally to come So I can say thank you, but good on him for bringing that to the council and good on our staff for getting that taken care of. So I've noticed a change there and it's a good thing. And the second thing is just that to kind of let you know, but I will be bringing something up to the council soon. And that's just thinking about Transitioning with our emergency management as we annex into the fire department and we won't have a police chief of our own, then we will lose a emergency manager in that capacity. And so there's going to be a transition there.

You mean fire chief?

What did I say?

Police.

That's not right. It's fire chief. Thank you. Yes, that's what I meant.

Chief Quinn, I was rose there. I was getting fired for a second.

no i looked right it i looked right at theron too but okay yes thank you for that correction um yeah so because of that so we'll need to to think of something else to do and so i've kind of been working with them just because i have been interested in it and and everything so we'll kind of i'll just bring up to the council when it's more of a i don't really know less of a just so you know i've been working on this and more of a what should we do in the future then i'll bring it back in more of an official capacity that's more of on the horizon though just for the council's information

Well, yeah, a little background on that. We've had a, what would you call it, a little shed over at Roy High in the holding court full of emergency supplies for over 20-something years that pretty much nobody even really knew it was there for a long time. And then Roy High is like, can you get this out of our holding court so they were able to salvage some of the stuff so that's good that I'm really happy for you that you're working on this and we can get you never know yeah I mean it's going to be a good thing to redo so they are going to tear that thing down now and hopefully we can find something better to put it in so thank you Alexis any other comments nope so do I have a motion to adjourn

I move to be adjourned.

Do I have a second?

Second.

All in favor say aye. Aye. Okay, thank you so much.

Thank you, Daisy.
