All right. Everyone, welcome to our meeting. I'd like to call our study session to order. First item on our agenda is the South Valley Chamber annual update. We need to remind you of our new microphone technologies. So that being said, Jay, go ahead and give us the update. I don't want to talk now. Hi. Thank you. Actually, I like last year's update a little bit better. David Dobbins called and said, we love you. You don't need to come. I'm happy to be here. And we're kind of late into the year, but we've had a busy first quarter, and we continue to add things on our plate, but we continue to do good things. And so probably as I comment on 2024, I'll probably give some – inserts about what we've already done and what's going on. So, again, our mission is we connect, educate, advocate, and grow. And around everything we do, all of our events, whether it's a lunch, whether it's at one of our educational seminars or our educational classes, we kind of look to make sure we're doing all four of those, if possible, at least three. South Valley Tourism, and I put this in here because it does connect with you because your hotels in – in Draper are part of our tourism committee. Our funding comes from elsewhere, but we continue to do well with our tourism. We invested $48,000 and we got a $24.7 million economic return. We have sports, Salt Lake that's on our board and our committee and bringing events to town has been really good. And we did over 100,000 visitors. We also did a staycation campaign, and we did a ski South Valley campaign where all the hotels in the South Valley Chamber were listed. And the hoteliers said the staycation did well for them because we had a late start to winter. And for some people, to be able to just stay at home and to go stay in a hotel, let the kids go at the swimming pool is like, you know, I'd rather do that than Disneyland, and some people would too. Just a quick, we've done really, really well with our social media. Target River has helped us. With our staycation, you can see the impressions we got there. And the hotel clicks were 140, the book now was 42, which was good because we only spent like $3,000 or $4,000. on the staycation. Our winter tourism was off the charts, over $2 million impressions and over 10,000 clicks. And then to book a hotel, over a thousand clicks to book a hotel. And then 200 where they actually booked a hotel for multiple nights. Our women in business, I get really kind of pleased. You're not supposed to say proud, so I'll say pleased with our women in business. And the things that they've done in 2024, they had women in business lunches and events. You can see the list of a few people they had there. First Lady Cox, Jeanette Bennett, Sarah Clayson, Holly Kirby, which is the Chick-fil-A owner of both Draper and Sandy. And then we had a nonprofit panel plus, you know, another five additional. I think. Our junior WIB, this last year we went from 21 and 23 to 25 young women from high schools that were part of our junior WIBs, but they're part of the Women in Business program. And we just graduated them here just two weeks ago. And to have their parents there, their principals there, and we just got a text today from one of them this year, so I'm kind of leaking into 2025. That's the heartwarming thing. We used to do 10 or 11. I challenged the committee to take it up. We did that last year to 21, and then we went to 25. And we found funding. America First Credit Union stepped up and paid for most of the scholarships that we give the girls. We give them $1,000. And one of the fathers came up to me. He said, Mr. Francis. I said, please, Jay. He said, when my daughter came home with this application, he said, I said, honey. For $1,000, this just isn't worth it. You're going to go to lunch for 10 months. You're going to have – and he didn't look at the mentorship and the service project. He said, can I tell you, she got a lot more than the $1,000 scholarship. Thank you so much for that. So this is kind of a proud papa moment that this is going well. Please. He doesn't make what they use that scholarship for? No, and we send the money to the school. You know, I learned that through my prior life that, you know, because I used to do a lot of scholarships with Gail Miller. But we send it right to the school to the end. We don't give it to the girl. It might not make it to the college. So our business institute is something that we continue to be pleased about with our accelerator, everyday entrepreneur, our leadership program and our boot camps. So just touch on them. So our accelerator, we call our mini MBA. small business owners, but we've also kind of had the instructor tweak it a little bit so that some of the business owners could send a mid-level manager. And we've had a couple do that, and what they like is that now their mid-management knows what they're going through as an owner and what they need to be doing. And it's really kind of expanded our program, which has helped. We did 26 in two cohorts this year. We're doing one cohort only this year, and we have 27 in just one cohort because of the What's fun is to see what they do when they graduate and how their businesses do better. They learn how to hire people. Some of them come in, they're solopreneurs or they're two people. They're afraid to hire. And Ralph takes them aside, coddles them like a dad and says, you've got to do it. And as soon as they hire, they have more time, they have more business, and they're making more money. They learn how to put together a marketing plan. They learn how to do a budget. and they have to pay taxes, you know, all those kind of fun things. On the left side of the screen is our leadership, South Valley. We had 13, we had 18 and we had some dropout. So we graduated 13 last year. Again, this year, things have taken off. We have 25, 26. And Mike is one of our attendees this year. But you may have heard me say this in prior reports. This is something that I wish I could have been part of, you know, back in my mid-career because it's hands-on. We went to the prison. We went to the armory the other day, and you get hands-on learning about what's going on. And we ate at the prison, not with the inmates. They wouldn't let us do that. But they cooked and we ate. We take them to the Delta Center or Real, and we go to Hale Center Theater. We go to the airport, and we're learning what other leaders are doing and what's going on in the community. It's something, again, I'm really pleased with. Our boot camps are every other month. We're looking at maybe changing that because there is some demand, but they're focused on things for small business that they need resources for. In June, it's probably going to be AI. And we did an AI one, but it was what we call an in-the-know, so it was a bigger group. We wanted to do a smaller one as a boot camp. And the lady who's going to come present it, she presented to me yesterday. And they're going to walk out of there knowing how to use AI, chat, GPT, and something else of how to do a marketing plan, how to reach out to your customers, how to build a database. in an hour and a half. So they get the hands on. But we also do how do you market? How do you do HR? Those are all things for 35, 36 years I took for granted because it was built into the company I worked for. And small business still needs those resources. They still have to behave even in HR. Even though they're small, they need to know what the HR rules are. So we love doing the small business boot camps. Our everyday entrepreneur is something that we encourage you to, and Mike and I talked about it today, but we push out is where somebody who's thinking of starting a business and maybe they've got it started in their kitchen or their garage or their basement. Maybe it's a product, maybe it's a service. And we partner with the mill over at Slick and Alta Bank has funded that for us. And they learn how to really wrap that business up. Two successes we have. One is it's fun to see them learn to build a business plan, learn to build a budget, a sales plan, and how to go to market if it's a product or how to be able to take their service to those who need it. The other success is maybe it's a 10-week program, maybe five weeks into it, six weeks into it, they say, I'm not ready. But that's a success because they spent $400 for this class instead of, launching all by themselves and spending thousands of dollars to find out that their widget, their product, their service is not ready. But then we've seen a couple of them come back after they've tweaked. So it's been really fun. Our Let's Do Lunches, we do a Let's Do Lunch one month and then meet the member. I'll touch on that in just a minute. We had four Let's Do Lunches last week. Last year we had Jim Olson from Sports Entertainment Group, Lieutenant Governor. The Salt Lake Bees came and presented to us, and Scott Anderson. from Zions Bank. Again, you can see our crowds at our lunches, both Women in Business and our Let's Do Lunch and our Meet the Members. We've had to put sold out on some of our Women in Business because they're doing such a good job of getting great presentations. Our Meet the Member, we're in our second year of that. It's a lunch, and it's really a networking lunch. I don't give any speeches. I welcome them, thank them for coming. And then 15 of the members get to give a two-minute speech, I guess, of who they are. And we do it in the room right next to our offices if you've ever been there, which I'm really grateful for because they don't leave and we can go back to our office and go to work because they just stay and stay and stay, which that means that's a successful event and they're having fun with each other. Chamber 101 is something else we started last year. This is our second year. We kind of tutored over 100 businesses last year of how to get the most out of your chamber membership, how to get into their chamber membership platform, which we call Chamber Master, and to be able to really connect with other chamber members by putting listings on the site, being able to log into the calendar, being able to see what's going on. And then we talk to them about connecting because, you know, we don't do stickers anymore. I guess some chambers do, but, you know, you used to see all the stickers on the doors of stores, you know, proud member of South Valley Chamber or whatever. But if they pay $500 or $2,500 or $10,000 to be a chamber member, you know, they need to get engaged or they're not going to get anything out of it. It's kind of like putting your money out there. So this is the forum where we tell them that. Our Connect After Hours is in our second year. They had to convince me to do this because Business After Hours, back a few years ago, when I was working downtown and I had been involved with another chamber downtown, just some bad experiences. And I just said, look, if we're going to do it, here's some rules. And so, but they've gone well. They've done them at some fun places. They've done them at office buildings. The last one was at the Garage Grill. And we're doing one in, I think, in August at the new Beast Ballpark. We're doing one at... Market Street Grill. So they've been fun places. We did a boondocks here recently in 2024 as well. So our executive form in the nose are meetings that we put together, kind of topical and timely. A lot of them around political issues. We held one here in your council room around the point. And the mayor and the point gave an update on the point. We felt like it was timely because of discussion that was going on. And we, it was not just for Draper. It was for the whole chamber of the full community. And we did a pretty good job of filling the room. Our ambassadors, we have our ambassador committee. I think the next few slides are maybe our committees. They are our life. They, they really are ambassadors. They talk about us. They show up. We had five of them today standing in the rain, soaking wet at a ribbon cutting because they didn't have umbrellas and the And this business didn't provide umbrellas. But they really do a good job for us. And they show up at ribbon cuttings. They also will reach out. They've gone with Corey and Jana knocking doors to be able to tell businesses how important they feel the chamber's been to them. Our Government Affairs and Public Policy Committee, in 2024, we track 20-plus bills. and focus really on housing, transportation, economic development. This last year, we did more than that, but there was a couple of real strong emphasis and we won both. We took on some real battles. We held hands with a couple other chambers and we won some good battles, especially when it came to immigration and hiring. Our small business committee, they help us focus on what we can do to help small businesses. You'll be seeing, if you watch our stuff come out, you'll be seeing small business highlights on small business owners. It'll be a video. We have a podcast that needs to, we've got some, about four podcasts sitting in the wings that we've got to put out there. And they're the ones that also said, you know, we talked about a small business of the year and they said, probably heard me say this, but we honor them at the Titan Awards. We put the small business, of the year on the same stages as our Titan Awards every year, which last year was Brian Epperson with Target River. Our golf tournaments, we hold three every year. It's just kind of, you know, if you take the three-legged milk stool that Larry Miller taught me about, you make a little money, take care of the customer and have a little fun. We kind of do that all with our golf tournaments. We have to have three. We're having to do something a little extra special, too, to try to – pull some out and do something special for some of our members that have three golf tournaments in their membership package. But we've added so many to our membership, and some of the memberships come with golf tournaments. I had today somebody reach out and said, hey, I see you do three golf tournaments. Can I buy a foursome in two of them? I'll put you on a waiting list because we're sold out, we're full. And so many people look at that. I told Jamie maybe we'll do four, and she said I quit. Then Shark Tank is something we're really pleased. We work with FBLA and DECA, and we get the state finalists. And usually we have, you know, two or three from the South Valley, and they get to pitch their product, their service. These are high school kids. And this is one of those events where you kind of like our junior web, you know, you go home from this saying, okay. I don't care what I just heard on national news. The world's going to be okay in a few years because these kids are great. And they pitched their product to a panel of judges. Brandon Fugel is one of our judges. And he dug in his own pocket last year. He said, that's not enough. So last year we awarded $11,000 to our contestants. And it's coming up on May 13th. the public, if you will. And if you want to come, let me know. We'd love to have you there. You'll go home saying, okay, we're good. Our Titan Awards, a number of you have been. Last year we honored Sandy Henry, James Clark, and Keith McMullen as our Titans. And later this week, if we were just waiting for a couple of pieces of information, later this week we'll be announcing our 2025. And, yes, there is a Draper business in that 2020. That will be two years in a row, so I get credit. But with seven cities, I can't do it, right? But it will be fun. This is one of our hallmark events. We started this, and I took this on as a challenge back in Sandy Chamber back in 2009. And Nancy Workman was the – chamber president, and I said, look, we've got to do better. And I just used the resources I had and got permission from the Miller Group to almost work full time on this. And it's really become a hallmark event of ours. And we went to the Grand America this year. We're going back to the Grand America, only we're going to the Grand Ballroom because the honorees that we're honoring this year will probably sell a few more tables for us. In Draper, we did 14 ribbon cuttings last year. In total, I can't remember what the total is, but this week we did one today. Tomorrow we have three. On Thursday we have two. We're sharpening our scissors this week. I get asked all the time why I go on my consent staff, but this is somebody who's put it on the line, and they need every chance possible, and they need to see they've got the support. And these are fun opportunities. And, you know, like today's was the Raising Cane's. You know, they've got huge corporate support. And it was, and there was, you look at that picture, there was that many people. Somebody wants free chicken. So we added 196 new members and 21 of those came from Draper City. And it's supposed to say thank you, I think, at the end, but it didn't get it. That's my report, my 2024 report. Thank you. Any questions for Jay? This is a great job. I think that Titan Awards is one of the most first-class events of the year. Thanks for coming over. My pleasure. Glad to have you. Thank you. Is this ethics training business? We push that to after the closed session. I'd rather talk about the end of the closed session, make sure we have enough time. Tracy, no offense on your training. I'm shocked. So we need a motion to close for talk about two items, real estate acquisition-wise and real estate development-wise. Motion second. So did Marcia. Marcia, any votes? Yes. More votes to close. Mr. Green is not on this. All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to welcome you to our city council meeting this evening. Apologize for getting started a little bit late. Sometimes it happens to us, and tonight was one of them. I'd like to call our meeting to order. We're going to start like we do almost every time with the Pledge of Allegiance. Our tech man, Mr. Jake Sorensen, who is our IT director, is going to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Thank you, Jake. All right. The next item on our agenda is to recognize these three lovely ladies sitting here on the front row. This is the time of year when we bid farewell to our current Draper royalty, and then we crown some new ones. And the crowning of the new ones will be happening this Saturday about 6 p.m. here in the council chamber, so if you're interested in that. On this night, we would like to bid farewell to our Ms. Draper royalty. We'd like to welcome Sloane James. We want to recognize and thank her and her royalty attendants for all the good years or year of service as Ms. Draper. So, Sloane, would you stand up just so everyone can see? All right. Cameron Stewart. We have Skylar Zamoloa. Stand up if you would, Skyla. And LaLea Tavaki. So these ladies, they've done a really good job for us this year. They participate in our Ms. Draper Scholarship Program, and they get to wear the crown. They're obviously beautiful and very accomplished young women, but they also provide... valuable service to us as a community, and they're part of our big events, and they make a really big difference. The kids love them. They love to see them. They love to have them there. They like to get pictures with them, and they also help and provide a lot of amazing things. So we're bidding farewell to these three ladies, and as they go forward in their lives, I'm sure they'll remember the opportunity we had to work with Draper and represent us. Let's talk about Sloan for a minute. She's leaving to study abroad in Scandinavia. She will be studying art and culture and will be visiting museums and doing workshops with artists. This will help her prepare for her student teaching job this fall. Like I said, they're very accomplished. We'd also like to recognize the volunteer director, Andrea Page. Andrea, are you here? Would you stand up, please? We want to thank her for her time and service to Draper City and the Miss Draper program. We appreciate Andrea, the other program volunteers and our staff and our assistant senior manager, Kelly Chalberg, our communications director, Linda. Linda, stand up and give us a little. Ms. Chalberg's not here tonight, but we'd have her stand up as well. These ladies really make this program kind of work. And so the volunteer folks are essential. And then, of course, our staff helps. Like I said, we will be welcoming our new Ms. Draper royalty, coming this very Saturday, May the 10th at 6 p.m. here in the council chambers. And Sloan, you have a video presentation on your way into the future. So I'll turn the time over to you. Are you going to tell us about your video? Go ahead. I'm talking to you, so I won't use the mic. I can talk loud. Yeah, this is just a quick recap of our year, and we also just want to say the royalty... Thank you to the city, to all the volunteers, all the employees here. Really, you make this possible for us. It means so much to us as young women. It means so much and gives us so many great opportunities. So we're really thankful. We've had a great year, made some really awesome memories, and are just so thankful to be able to have this opportunity to serve and to learn together. So thank you. Thank you. The other young lady we saw in the video and the photos, Cameron Stewart, she's also in attendance. She was able to join us this evening, but she also participated. As you can see, these young women were all over the place in every event and parade and more parades than they probably wanted to do, but they're tremendous ladies. Our program is unique in the sense that it's not a traditional beauty pageant. It's a program about excellence and the ability to achieve and accomplish things in life, so it's Cameron, you got here just in time. There you go. This is Cameron. Did you fix it yourself? No, I got it right. But you could have, anyway. No, our program really, it turned a few years ago into a scholarship program that... is about accomplishment and achieving things, not so much just about, they're all, of course, lovely young women, but it's about all the things that they're capable of and that they will do. So they've been tremendous. It'll be exciting to see who the next group is, but thank you again, Sloan, and all of you ladies for all your good work and service to our community. Thank you. Let's get a photo. We're going to come down. Ladies, we have a presentation for you guys in a minute. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, ladies, again. Thank you. Sorry, Tasha, that took a little long. Get the good pictures, though. All right, the next item on the agenda is one of my favorite items. It's May, if you didn't know, is Bike Month in the country. And we also celebrate Bike Month here in Draper. I also, at one of my other outside jobs, I chair the Active Transportation Committee for the Wasatch Front Regional Council. And so our objective is to find ways for active transportation to be part of how you get around. So not just biking for fun or walking for fun, but walking for transportation to and from your job. So Bike Month, May 2025 is Bike Month, whereas throughout the month of May, Draper City will celebrate biking and the freedom, joy, and well-being it brings, as well as positive impact and increased bicycle use has in enhancing the quality of life for all. And whereas May 12th through 18th, 2025 is Bike to Work Week, and May 7th, 2025 is Bike to Work Day. And whereas throughout the month of May, the residents of Draper City and its visitors will experience the joys of bicycling, through group rides, races, community events, educational programs, charity rides, and simply getting out and going somewhere by bike. And whereas bicycling has been shown to improve residents' health, well-being, quality of life, and also contributing to Draper City's economy by attracting tourism dollars, increased local business spending, and reduced pollution, traffic congestion, and parking demands on city streets and roads. And whereas Draper City will be joining the League of American Bicyclists in promoting bicycling during the month of May, 2025, and whereas Draper City is promoting the use of bicycles as both the means of transportation and recreation year-round to attract more visitors to enjoy our local parks and trail systems, as well as restaurants, hotels, retail establishments, and cultural and scenic attractions, and whereas Draper City is promoting greater public awareness of bicycle operation, the safety, education during bike month, and throughout the year in an effort to reduce collisions, injuries, and fatalities and improve the health and safety for everyone on the road. And whereas the mayor's bike ride will take place May the 10th, 2025 at 11 a.m. at the Rotary Park, which is on 123rd South, as part of the city's Bike Month celebration. Now, therefore, I, Mayor Walker, do hereby proclaim May 2025 as Bike Month in Draper City and urge all residents to join in this special observance. So there you go. I was thinking the other day that I think A bike has been part of my life since I was old enough to ride one. It's probably been the most important and my most prized possession would be of possessions, my bike. So I think it's a great opportunity to celebrate Bike Month. If you aren't signed up for our ride, please come and join us. It's a nice smooth ride on the Jordan River Trail and then back through Lehigh, back to Draper on May the 10th, 11 a.m. at the Rotary Park. All right, next item, item number five, is an opportunity for general public comment. Is there anyone here that wants to make a general public comment to the council this evening? Is it an item on the agenda? Okay. If you're here for a general public comment, if you're here for an item that's a public hearing, we ask that you wait for that public hearing to be called. But if you'd like to make a general public comment, the rules are the clock over to my right, your left is the three minutes. You don't have to use them all, but you can. But at the end of three minutes, your turn will be over. So we'd like, if you're ready to do it, come on up, give us your name and address, and we'll listen to you for your comment. Go ahead, sir. Thank you. My name's Chris Gardner, and I'm at 11674 South Douglas Vista Drive. And Mr. Mayor, members of the council, I'm here because I made a mistake. I unintentionally violated a zoning code in my backyard by building without a permit that I didn't realize I needed. I'm not here to make excuses. I'm a disabled veteran, and I have some mental health disorders that affect my judgment, but I mention that only to give context. I simply didn't know about setback rules, and I mistakenly believed that owning my property meant I had more freedom than I actually do. I now understand there are codes beyond basic laws and property taxes. Often I miss, because of my condition, I miss what others in society take for granted. But despite my limitations, I've tried to make things right. I've been working with the planning, zoning, and building departments to obtain a permit after the fact. Unfortunately, I've learned their hands are tied when it comes to the code. I've gathered encroachment letters from all the utility companies and every one of my neighbors that are adjacent to me have given written support, including opposition to any effort to force me to remove or alter the structure. One of my neighbors is here with me tonight and he'd like to speak after me. I'm not here to ask for special treatment. I'm simply hoping to understand the best way to approach this going forward. I want to do the right thing and I want to do it in a way that preserves something my neighbors and I care about. I'm looking for options that might exist, people I should be speaking to, something to get me set on the right path to my solution. My lot, like many others in Draper, simply doesn't accommodate a 10-foot setback, which is the code for small structures. I'm also willing to pay a hefty fine and to officially add the structure to my property footprint, increasing taxable value. One of the reasons I built it was to open my yard to the neighborhood for things like pickleball, We have a pickleball court for community events. But right now, the proposed solution is almost like King Solomon's order to cut the building in half, literally, except in this case, it would physically destroy the bathroom inside, which neighbors could have otherwise used during gatherings. And the cost of such a cut would be prohibitive and unsightly. In my case, I am the one willing to give it away to others to save it from being destroyed. I just wanted the chance to make this right, and I'm asking for your guidance to help find the best path forward, perhaps some administrative relief. Thank you so much for your time, Mr. Mayor. Thank you. Who would like to be next? Hi, I'm Mike Chenoweth. I'm at 11668 South Douglas Vista Drive. I just wanted to pivot really quickly and say thank you for the opportunity to say the Pledge of Allegiance as that's getting fewer and far between opportunities to do that in public spaces. And so thank you for that today. I'm Chris's neighbor to the north, really just here in support of the kind of the contest of the building that he has on his lot. We are in the old Osborne Farms area. It's Fox Landing off of 7th West and about 118th South. It's basically an old working farm, very swampy. It's been built up about 10 feet for the homes to be built there. Irrigation and mitigation of that irrigation, any runoff is extremely difficult. And our lots were not graded in such that allow very easy mitigation of water. His landscaping and the addition of his accessory building completely eliminated any need for, just eliminated any kind of standing water or settling water on his corner of the four shared lots that we have that have this issue. And he did a tremendous job in the design and construction of the building. So in addition to the lack of water in that corner of the property, which benefits all of the other three surrounding neighbors, it's also a pleasant structure to look at. So as neighbors, we have, or joining neighbors, we have zero issues with it being built. I think it sets a good precedence for the quality of accessory building sheds, any kind of building that's built on a property to be built in a nicer neighborhood. And it would be a shame to see it dismantled in any way. But also in regards to the issues with maybe the code and the contest there, in which with so much building going on in Draper at this point, my suggestion would maybe, I'd love to see a simpler write-up or somewhere maybe on Draper website that demonstrates more of what we can and can't do as homeowners and as lot owners with our properties. I know it's there written in the code, but the code can get a little convoluted and confusing at times. even a video that just walks through a lot and says these are the things you can and can't do on your property, I think would be very helpful. Just anything that would just help us as homeowners stick by the law, stick by the code, but also be able to enjoy the property that we have here in Draper. I appreciate your time. Thanks so much. Thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to make a general public comment? All right. Seeing no further general public comment, We'll move on. Item number six is approval of the April 22, 2025 city council meeting minutes. 6A. 6B is approval of resolution 2519. It's a resolution establishing an interim policy for processing classification requests for new and unlisted business uses pursuant to Senate Bill 179. Item 60 is approval resolution 2522. It's a resolution approving and authorizing the execution of a vote center agreement between Draper City and Salt Lake County for the 2025 municipal elections. Is there a motion? Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a motion to approve the consent calendar. Motion by Ms. Lowry to approve items 6A, B, and C. Is there a second? I'll second. Second by Ms. Vaudrey. Any further discussion? Seeing none, Ms. Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Vaudrey? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. Items approved unanimously, four to zero. Council Member Green is not with us this evening. We have four. Item number seven is an action item. It's approval of Ordinance 1648. It's an ordinance of Draper City Council amending Title 6-4 of the Draper City Municipal Code pertaining to alcoholic beverage licenses, hospitality amenity licenses, and bar establishment licenses. Is there a motion? No, it's an action. Travis, come on up and do some action. Give us a little treatment here. Thank you. All right. So we're looking to amend Title VI, Chapter 4 in regards to hospitality amenity and bar establishment licenses. Make some other changes as well. That like jumped ahead, okay. So hospitality amenity, we don't have this in our code. It's in state law, but it is missing in our code. There's someone, there's a business in Draper who would like one, so we thought we'd try to add it in for them. So we added a definition, hospitality amenity license. It's a license granted to a hotel that permits the storage, sell, furnishing, and consumption of alcoholic products on the licensed premises for hospitality, social events. We also defined what a hotel was. It has to have 40 rooms or more and be added in this list. This is another section where we added hospitality license information. There may be some questions about the difference between hospitality alcohol license and a single event license. So here's some of the differences. So hospitality amenity that runs the entire year can be used all year. Single event can be used up to five days. And you're limited on how many you can apply for in the calendar year. Hospitality amenity alcohol can only be served to hotel guests. So no one from outside can just come in and get a drink. In a single event, if you're attending the event, anyone could purchase an alcoholic drink. With hospitality amenity, you could provide two single servings of alcohol for free. And as long as it's not a spiritist liquor, in a single event, you have to purchase everything. So in regards to bar establishments, we currently have a cap at eight bar establishments. So we currently have seven in Draper. And so currently our code says one of the bar establishment licenses has to be located within a full-service hotel. And we moved that language. Draper doesn't have a full-service hotel. So this wouldn't necessarily increase the number of bar establishments allowed. It still remains at eight. Another minor change we made, so the section on transferring a license, for some reason, it was just missing on-premises beer retailer. So we added it in. So basically, if there's an ownership change at a business in Draper and they want to keep selling alcohol, we could transfer their alcohol license without going to city council to get the local consent. It's a little bit easier on people. Other changes, we did remove this long list of documents that are needed for the application requirements and we're just going to come up with our own without having to amend the code every time we want to change something, make it a little bit easier. A lot of things on this list aren't necessary anymore because it hasn't been updated in a long time. And finally, We fixed some grammar issues and alphabetized alcohol license types where they appeared. Questions for Travis. Why are you saying those one comments, Travis, are not necessary on all those that you're eliminating? On, sorry, what? Next page. This page? Yeah. Oh, okay, like an example. The biggest one would be the floor plan. So number four on there says the floor plan of the premises, including consumption of areas in an area where the applicant throws it to keep, store, and sell alcoholic beverages. So a lot of these items, they're from basically state law, what people provide to the DAVS to get their alcohol license. For city, it doesn't really make sense for us to care where they're storing their alcohol or serving it or people drinking it. So it's up to the DAVS to... make sure they're following those rules. We could still ask for it, of course, if we wanted to. We just have- Most of these that are being eliminated are required by the state. Yeah. Okay. So I'll add, sorry, it's Jen over here. I'll add, you know, our zoning code, our subdivision code in the last few years, we've taken out listing specifically what should be on our application form. I think the zoning code says, an application form as approved by the city attorney because we've found as either state law changes or as we find we need new things, having a specific list of exactly what we need doesn't really serve us. We have to do a text amendment, things like that. So this will allow staff to determine what we need, make sure we're not having them provide things that maybe DABS needs and we don't. So Travis, you had a slide that showed what a hospitality social event was. It was back a few. Yeah, with the definition. How about the next one? Or? Yeah. This one? OK, thank you. I have a question, though. Does this license have to be renewed yearly? Yes. And is it renewed by the council? With council consent? No, it would just be renewed as like a normal business license. So once you give it, you don't have to get it again. Subject to the DABC's requirements. Is this language pulled from the state? No. It's kind of copied over from another text amendment we did. And I just amended it to be for hospitality amendment licenses. And probably some of it is related to state code. As far as I remember. But it's not directly pulled. And then another question I have is that said that the events would just be for hotel guests, but then a hotel would also need to get a special event license if they were hosting something separate, is that correct? Yeah, if they were hosting something separate, they wanted people from outside to come in who weren't guests, they would have to get that single event license. So this social event is just something I don't even know exactly what you want to call it, but it's something the hotel decides to offer their guests. Yeah, maybe like a wine and cheese hour or something. Just something I've heard it described as like an event to make people feel welcome. Like when they get a check-in at a hotel and maybe they get offered a drink in a certain room or whatever. It's a welcoming thing. An example that comes to mind is the Hotel Monaco downtown Salt Lake. Every night between 5 and 7, they have a reception in their lobby with wine and beer available. And they pour it so guests don't pour their own drinks. And then it shuts down. And so I think it's addressing those types of social hour type of activities. do we have an applicant that's requesting this yes we do because that's what set up the reason why we're painting this yes exactly so we've never had one of these in draper before but someone has requested they they get one this is fairly common The great question. I mean, it hasn't come up since the four years I've been working here. I don't think it's ever come up in the past that I know of. Do the neighboring cities offer this? Do other cities? Yes, like our neighboring cities. Oh, I wouldn't know our neighboring cities do or not. I would say it depends on the classification of hotel, typically. You know, Mike brought up Hotel Monaco downtown. know a resort in park city that does wine tastings for their guests and you know uh blues and beers and brats night for their guests you know things things like that so um it probably depends on the classification of hotel on what type of hotel would have these types of events but i and like trev said i don't have a number of you know exactly how many hotels do this but i think it is probably fairly common i was more wondering if the adjacent cities are offering hospitality, amenity, whatever this is called. I don't have the answer to that. Well, the one thing that kind of bothers me on this is we're creating this because we have a beer license that's attached or an alcohol license that's attached to a hotel. And we're basically saying we're going to remove that requirement. so that someone else can have that alcohol license. And so we're creating a whole ordinance just to accommodate. You mean like removing the bar license? Yeah. Yeah, so that just removes, that's a separate alcohol license for bars. And so yeah, that, if there is ever a full service hotel that comes to Draper and we're full at 8, then they, one isn't reserved for them, they can get the bar. license unless you increase the cap. So by basically doing this ordinance, we've now removed that ability for a hotel that we may be reserved for an alcohol license. Yeah. That's correct. And Fred, we did talk about that maybe at a different meeting. You know, I've just been concerned about this because I feel like Nobody seems to totally understand what a hospitality amenity license is. It's a little unsure. And I also am kind of uncomfortable when we lump so many things into one item because maybe they would be better approved or not approved separately. And so I would like to propose that we go ahead And I don't know how to articulate this exactly, Tracy, but approve changing that bar license, because I know that there's an application waiting. Drop the hotel stipulation on that. But I would like to continue the rest of this to another meeting. So that's my motion. We anticipated that might be the case. um legal has drafted an ordinance that addresses just the bar establishment license so you could approve that tonight and then continue this and staff can maybe get some more answers to the questions uh the council raised and bring that portion back at a different meeting that would be my motion so would those be separate ordinances mike or would it just be in addition to this It would be a, if you were to consider the hospitality amenity license, that would then be, get its own ordinance number for consideration. Is the person, the hotel that would like a hospitality amenity license here? Do we hear from them? That's not it. That's not a public hearing, yeah. We can invite them to the next meeting. I think that might be helpful. So we could understand what their aim is. One comment that I do have is that the hospitality menu license is the type of license that you can receive from the state. But it's an issue of first impression for the city. We don't have a definition for that type of license in our code. So when we have somebody come in inquiring about having interest in providing this type of service to their guests, we didn't even have a way to accommodate it because we don't have that license available in city code. So that's the reason why we've got to do something that addresses what kind of license it is, that distinguishes it from the other types of licenses and aligns with state code. And when community development took a look at the definition of that by state code, it really wasn't defined very well. So we did our best to pull as much as we could from the state code and then try to make it as defined as possible so that the city felt comfortable that this is exactly the slot that we want to peg this type of license into while we're still really sort of aligned with the way the state has defined it as well. So that kind of explains, I think, some of the context for why you're seeing it like this. That makes sense. Thank you, Tracy. All right, we have a motion by Ms. Vaudrey to just approve the removal language. Go back to the slide. Where is it, Travis? I want to make it clear. To approve, to amend the Code Section 6-4.050 to the proposed language, taking off one of which must be located in a full-service hotel. Is that right, Ms. Vaudrey, your motion? All right, that motion is our second. I'll second that. Let me give that to Ms. Lowry. All right, seconded by Ms. Lowry. Any further discussion? Father, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Lowry? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. All right, that item, that motion's approved four to zero. I'm assuming, would someone make a motion to continue the next item so we can address the state code? Staff will do that. We need a motion. Oh, I'm sorry. Someone make a motion that we can... I make a motion that we continue to then give more understanding on the hospitality. All right, so motion by Mr. Lowry to continue the proposed definition of a hospitality license. Is that accurate, the definition, the creation of the definition? Yes, correct. For hospitality amenity license. Is there a second? I'll second. Second by Ms. Johnson. Any further discussion? All right. Mr. Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. Ms. Lowry? Yes. Ms. Vaudrey? Yes. All right. That item's... I got everything in it. Okay. Everything's continued. It's fine. Except... The rest of it was kind of grammatical cleanup and alphabetizing. So it's more just style. So that's fine to be addressed later. And we can just deal with the first motion with regard to the. You want to make a substitute motion? Okay. All right. So the rest of that proposed language and the new license is continued, I guess, without date till the time we didn't put the date on it. Okay. Item seven is now complete. item number eight is next, item eight is a public hearing. It's ordinance 1649 and ordinance 1650, ordinances amending the official land use map of Draper City from residential low-medium density to residential medium-high density, amending the official zoning map of the city from RA2 residential agriculture to RM2 residential multifamily, and approving a development agreement amendment for approximately .046 acres for the property located approximately 13040 South, 1300 East within Draper City, otherwise known as the Lingo Land Use Zoning and Development Agreement Amendments. We have Mary Ann Pickering. Go ahead, Mary Ann. Thank you. The subject property is this red little square. This is located just kind of to the northwest of 138th and 13th East. This is a detailed view of the property that's under consideration for these applications. The current land use designation on this one is residential low-medium density. And the current zoning is RA2. This was a request that you saw in 2018 for the property that's located to the north that has the RM2 zoning. And what the proposal today and tonight before you is to add that little triangle or rectangle that's south of it that's approximately 2,000 square feet. to amend that zoning to RM2 and the land use designation to residential high medium or high density to match the property to the north. And then a development agreement would be upgraded for that property to allow just one single residential dwelling unit on that site. And these three applications are also in conjunction with a boundary line adjustment that we're working and that square that we're talking about tonight will be transferred to Mr. Lingo who's here tonight from Chad England and his family, and so it's a property exchange between them, and this is just clarifying the zoning and correcting that development agreement. There's no plans to develop anything else at this time. The Planning Commission did forward you a unanimous recommendation in April on this item, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. Any questions for Marianne? I do have a question once the development agreement expires in 10 years. Are there any restrictions on the property for future development other than just the RM2, the requirements for RM2? RM2 zoning, if you were to build a single family on that property, the minimum square footage is 4,000. So you would need 8,000 to build multifamily. And the lot's under 8,000 square feet. So it's highly unlikely, unless more property was acquired in the future, that they could ever build multifamily on that site. OK. And then we would have to rezone whatever property that they do acquire. Correct. Any other questions for Maria? The applicant here? Mr. Lingo's here, yes. You can address the council now if you want. You can wait to see if there's any public comment either way. Come on up, give us your name and address if you would. Shane Lingo, 13040 South 1300 East Draper, Utah. You want to tell the council anything about this? No, I'm just trying to purchase this small little piece of property to connect it to my backyard so I have a bigger backyard. You live in the property that's north? Yeah, I live in the, yeah, I live in the small property. That's, yeah. Okay. Any questions for the applicant? All right. Thank you, sir. Yep. Thanks so much. Appreciate it. This is a public hearing. It's ordered in 1649 and 1650. Is there anyone from the public that would like to address the council on these, on item 8A? All right. Seeing no public comment, I'll close public comment period and bring it back to the council. Mr. Mayor. Ms. Vaudrey. I move we approve ordinances number 1649 and 1650. All right, motion by Ms. Vaudrey to approve item 8A, 1649 and 1650. Is there a second? I'll second. Second by Ms. Lowry. Any further discussion? All right, seeing no Ms. Vaudrey, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Lowry? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. Items approved unanimously, four to zero. Item 8B is next. It's also a public hearing. This is a resolution 25-20. This is a resolution establishing the Draper City tentative budget for fiscal year 2025-2026, ending June 30, 2026, and setting the public hearing date of May 20, 2025, to receive comment on the tentative budget. We'll have a staff report by our finance director, Mr. John Byte. Go ahead, sir. Council, I'm excited to be here and present the tentative budget to you. I've got a few quick slides, and then we can certainly have discussions. And feel free interrupting at any time. So the tentative budget that we are proposing, including all funds, will be for $169,312,600. So that's total across all funds within Draper City. As we look specifically at the general fund, you can see the change from FY25 budget to the proposed budget for FY2026, with revenues increasing from 49,721,600 to 52,188,900. You will recognize that there is an appropriation of fund balance, and that is something that we will work with the council determine what the best way to handle that moving forward is in the future budget year and throughout the process that we go through with this tentative budget. From an expense side, again, the budget is a balanced budget. So expenses are also at $52,188,900. And you can see the comparative difference. This slide shows expenses by type, so breaking it down by the types of expenditures, and you can see the difference in those changes there. And then the next slide will show, if I go just one slide, by department. And so you can see the changes that we see by department. One thing to note is that you'll see that the general obligations bond is paid off at the end of this fiscal year. And I'm going to back up a couple of slides the revenue and you can see the line item for the rev there's you can see that the property tax line decreases and that is associated with the removal of that bond revenue going forward again some notable changes are listed here And again, you can see the removal of that GO bond on the revenue side, as well as an expense on the expense side, the removal of that same sales tax bond. There are other things that we've looked at where we have proposed some decreases in the expense side, but there are also correlating increases on the expense side. The budget represents an increase in staffing of just over one FTE. This is a slide to show the difference in the property tax rate. Our current property tax rate is .001022. With the removal of the GO bond portion of that, the property tax rate will decrease to .0009710. That creates a difference for the property owners, for the residents, and Average home, a median home is at $764,000. So the difference for that home would be $21 annually, just over $21, or $1.79 per month, a decrease. Within the budget, there is also some changes proposed with water rates. I'll get to a slide here shortly, but you can see that there is a proposed increase of 8% for the variable rates and 15% for the base rate. And this is just a slide to show the changes that we've proposed over the years. And you can see that Jordan Valley water has done some consistent increases. And the average for them is 3%, whereas Draper's increase is currently at 1.91%. These are some detailed pieces of what that water rate increase will look like. And then the next slide shows just a little breakdown on the financial, a financial breakdown of the water fund. And you can see that just strictly looking at operations at the top portion of this graph, we are in the red. And so these rate increases are designed to help us get that portion into the black so that we can deal with other issues and be able to continue to move forward with our water infrastructure. We do have a fund balance. It's listed at the bottom. And you can see some of the notes down there. But that is really set aside for CIP projects. We currently have $5.4 million set aside in CIP projects. And then we estimate that we need approximately $1 million in there to cover future needs as far as fleet goes. Stop right there. When you said this rate increase is going to help, is it going to do it or is it going to help it? We got to do it or what are you saying here? So we're implementing a plan trying not to increase the rates too much year over year. And so this increase takes us to where we are very close. It's a proposed increase of $680,000. You can see the deficit projected for this year. is $9.75. So as you look at the difference, there's a slight difference there. So we will be drawing a little bit of fund balance from the water fund. But we have a plan that we would again come to you next year with an additional water rate increase, trying not to do that. So you're just stepping the increases up as they go, but there's more coming is what you're saying? Yes. To get it in the black? Correct. OK. This is looking at those residential water rates and where people's water bill would be. If you note down in the lower right corner of the slide, it says where the data is. And you can see that the majority fall within the 5,000 to 20,000 gallons used. So you can kind of gauge that based on whether you're in zone one, two, or three and what those Can you move this slide up so we can see the bottom of it? Looks like it was right there. No, I can't, but Jake's trying. Looks like you had it. If you hit close, it probably will be there. Yeah, there you go. So if you look in zone one where the majority of our residents are, that rate, the $10,000 to $20,000 gallon, not dollar, $10,000 to $20,000 gallon is like $6.35 at 10,000 gallons or $12.15 at 20,000 gallons. So somewhere in $6 to $12 around $10 a month. Is that monthly? That's monthly? Yes. So three are using 100,000 gallons? yes wow a lot of water and then this there's also a corresponding increase in the commercial rate and then this is a chart breakdown of that as well so a little bit of calendaring or what we're doing so tonight We will adopt the tentative budget. That doesn't mean that this is final or anything else. That means that by state statute, we are required to adopt a tentative budget on the first meeting in May. So we will adopt a tentative budget. We'll set a date for a formal public hearing for May 20th. Tonight was posted as a public hearing, so we should go ahead and allow for public comment tonight as well. but there will be a formal public hearing on the 20th that will set the date for tonight. That will be at the council meeting in two weeks. Budget adoption is currently scheduled for June 3rd. Budget can be adopted as presented today or council can make changes to the tentative budget. And we will, at that meeting, talk about those changes and outline specific changes that are the council's intent. Any questions for Mr. Pike? All right, thank you. This is a public hearing, ordinance 25-20. Is there anyone from the public that would like to address a council on item 8B? Come on up. Name and address. That will start your three minutes, which you don't have to use all of, Dave. I try not to do that. My name is David Cloward. My address is 1589 East. Closer to the mic. Oh, sorry. My name is David Cloward. My address is 1589 East La Costa Court, Draper, Utah. So for those of you who don't know me, I'm the chair of the Draper Tree Committee. I want to thank the city council and the public, the city staff, and in particular, the Parks and Rec team, because they've supported us very well. accomplished a lot in the last few years. I'm here tonight because I'm the city council where I recently presented the need for a dedicated city arborist in one of our meetings recently. I focused in that meeting on the return on investment for that headcount because that was really a budget concern in the budget meeting. But I was probably remiss in not focusing on the word about it being dedicated. because what we really need is an arborist that is dedicated full-time solely to the trees of Draper. What we need is someone that's passionate about the trees, and they own very personally the propagation of that urban forest and the beautification of our city and the best return on investment that we make for trees. Everybody knows that if you have just a general group that's in charge of something, not much is going to probably happen. You need to have someone who's a champion, that's passionate, that really owns that, and that's what we really need in terms of a dedicated city arborist. As I said in the presentation before, all of our neighboring cities around have that resource. And when we've talked to other groups like Tree Utah as an example, they said the cities that are doing great with their trees, it comes down to an actual individual in that city that's really making a difference. So the request for a city arborist was because we were just not seeing the great results sometimes of the planting trees. in not the best way, getting the best results for that. And so as I understand it, the request was heard and addressed, but it was addressed through outsourcing, mowing to be able to free up other resources. However, our arborist is still a manager that we currently would have. And so we wouldn't be able to have someone that's dedicated to the trees. So we, again, ask that if we were in a very similar situation, if we don't have a proactive, dedicated arborist that's passionate about this sole focus. At the Arbor Day event, for those that were there, for example, I learned that the director of Elevate Utah Disc Golf, he got permission to plant trees out of his group's budget at the course. And he said he could get funding for 40 to 50 more trees just for that course if we actually had the resources to be able to take care of the trees. So right now, we have budget that we need to use, that we want to use for planting projects, but we're limited because We don't actually have an arborist to be able to take care of the trees. The team is saying we need to hold off until we actually have someone that can actually take care of the trees. So that's my request is that we'll take a look at that again. One of those funding resources, even a city resident who donated $10,000 just for the trees came out to the event. Thanks, Dave. Thank you. All right. Is there anyone else like to address the council on item 8B? All right, seeing no further public comment, we'll close the public comment period, bring it back to the council. Mr. Mayor, I make a motion that we approve resolution 25-20. All right, motion by Mr. Lowry to approve. Resolution 2520, is there a second? I'll second. Second by Ms. Faudrey. Any further discussion? Just stating the obvious, this is a tentative budget for us to review further. Anything else? All right, Ms. Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Faudrey? Yes. Ms. Lowry? Yes. Johnson? Yes. Items approved unanimously four to zero. All right, next item. is hc it's a public hearing it's resolution 2521 it's a resolution amending the adopted budget of draper city for fiscal year 2024 and 2025 we'll have mr vike address us again on that go ahead sir so we have a budget amendment before you today um to help us close out the fiscal year um 2025. And there's a number of items on here. So I'll just go through them quickly, one at a time. If you have questions, please feel free to ask me those questions. We'll begin. The first item is to purchase some parks and rec CIP items. Those would be lighting for the amphitheater and an RC mower, a remote-controlled mower. So that would be item number one. Item number two, we brought to you a threshold for our capital, which was $10,000. The police department is proposing to purchase night vision for their SWAT team. Those items are above that threshold, so we need to get approval from the council to be able to purchase those as a CIP item. Item 2538, the city sold the property. on 17th East. And so we are proposing to recognize revenue from the sale of capital assets to the tune of $4.5 million and then do a transfer to internal service funds of $4 million to the fleet fund and $500,000 to the risk fund. The budget amendment also recommends a transfer of general fund fund balance to the CIP fund to establish funding within the CIP fund for projects outlined in the FY 2026 tentative budget. We're also proposing a transfer of fund balance to the water fund for future water projects. And an additional transfer to the fleet fund of $70,000 from fund balance. There's a few new CIP related items within the budget amendment. The first is to establish from water fund, from the fund balance of the water fund, some additional funding through a CIP to explore improvements and repairs to the water supply system on Traverse Mountain. The next item is for, I'm trying to make sure I'm not, to the other ones that are RDA related yet, sorry. This is for, we currently have a few different road fund projects and we're trying to really just centralize those into one project. So this is closing the FY22 ongoing road projects and moving that into the FY25 road project. So you'll see the total project budget for 25 was $3 million. We're moving the funding that's remaining in the 22 budget into that project fund, bringing that balance to $4.2 million. The next item is going to close the 23 project and move that funding as well, increasing that from the 4.2 up to the $5.3 million. The next one is we have a federally funded project where we need to... provide a match, and so we are proposing using transportation impact fee money to be able to meet that match. And that will take the total project budget for that to $975,000, of which $803,700 is remaining. We're working with Sandy City to make some improvements at 114 South and 7th East. And we're looking to, again, provide funding for our matching portion that is required of $125,000. And we're proposing that through County Option Highway Fund. The city each year budgets for vacation and sick leave payouts as per policy. But we don't know which departments are going to need that or who's going to be eligible to use that. So we put that as an operational budget line item within the HR department. And this amendment is allowing us to administratively go through those departments and make sure that we have sufficient to cover those departments that have used that. Our next four amendment items are for projects that are road projects that we can use CRA money for. And so we're proposing to transfer money from the CRA into the capital projects fund. So you're seeing it on this budget amendment. You will also see it when we enter into the CRA and we do a budget amendment there, you'll see these same four items as a transfer out of the CRA into the capital projects fund. other fund. So you're going to see it twice is what I'm telling you. So the first one is 1300 East and Draper Parkway. That project falls within the Sand Hill CRA. So we're proposing to use funding from that CRA to cover $1.4 million of that project. The second project is on Highland Drive. It's a sidewalk connection. We were going to do that with our sidewalk connection. funding, but since it falls within the South Mountain CRA, we're proposing to use those funds first. And that will free up those other funds to be able to complete some sidewalk connections other places within the city. And that one is for $150,000. Our third project is Galena Park Boulevard. They're doing some slurry seal on that, which falls within the Front Runner CRA. We're proposing to establish a budget of $50,000, and this one is also increasing the 25 ongoing projects, but the funding source would be from the CRA. And then the last project from CRA funding is at 12150 South State. It's a traffic signal replacement. That falls within the Crescent CRA, and we're proposing to use those CRA funds. Just to note that our CRAs have healthy balances and our financial policies say that we will use the most restrictive funds first, which happen to be those CRA funds. And so that's really what we're trying to fall in line with is doing that with those last four items. That is the last item on the budget amendment. Happy to answer any questions. Questions for Mr. Veik. I do have a question about the sidewalk connection on Highland. I think that's great. But I know there's a lot of some undeveloped areas there. So I have two questions, actually. Have the places that are developed, have the owners completed their portion of any sidewalks that might be required? And number two, if future development needs to be done, will the sidewalks that we install need to be removed? um construction i'm going to let mr markle answer that question so this this portion of sidewalk is um on city owned property so when pluralsight developed it backed up it didn't have to put sidewalk on highland drive so capita came in and built their sidewalk frontage and then the building down on the corner of future way built their sidewalk, so there's a gap there that we were just going to put that section in on the north side of Highland Drive. Okay, so it's just a small portion on the plural site? Just a small portion. It will be the last portion that doesn't have sidewalk on southwest of Traverse Ridge-Bangator intersection. Okay, thank you. Any other questions? All right, thank you. Public hearing, ordinance number 25-21. Is there anyone from the public who would like to address the council on this item? All right, seeing no public, we'll close the public comment period and bring it back to the council. Mr. Mayor, I make a motion. Pass Resolution 25-21. Motion by Mr. Lowry to approve Resolution 25-21. Is there a second? I'll second. Ms. Johnson. Any further discussion? All right, Mr. Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Johnson. Yes. Ms. Lowry. Yes. Bogdary. Yes. Item's approved, unanimously 4-0. Next item is number nine. We need a recess to the Draper Community Reinvestment Agency meetings or motion. Motion by Ms. Lowry to convene the reinvestment agency meetings or second? Second. Second by Ms. Faudrey. Ms. Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Faudrey? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. All right. That passes unanimously. We are now in. I'll call the meeting to order for the Community Reinvestment Agency. Items for board consideration. Item 2A is approval of the January 7, 2025 Community Reinvestment Agency meeting minutes. Item 2B is a public hearing. Let's go with 2A. Is there a motion? I move to approve the January 7, 2025 Community Reinvestment Agency meeting minutes. All right. By motion by Ms. Vaudrey to approve, item 2A is her second. Second by Ms. Lowry. Any further discussion? Ms. Fodder, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Lowry? Ms. Lowry. Yeah. Ms. Johnson. Yeah. Item 2A is approved, 4-0. Item 2B is a public hearing. It's Resolution CRA-2502. It's a resolution establishing the Community Reinvestment Agency of Draper City tentative budget for the fiscal year 2025-2026, ending June 30, 2026. and setting the public hearing date of May 20th, 2025 to receive comment on the tentative budget. Go ahead, Mr. Fryk. So again, we are here to adopt the tentative budget. Total city budget is the 169 million. You can see the second line item for 12 million, 297 is the CDRA budget. That's what we are adopting at this point. The majority of the revenue comes in through tax revenue. We do receive almost 900,000, just over 900,000 in budget from interest income, from money that we hold within the CDRA. And then we're appropriating 3.7 million from fund balance for projects that have already been outlined. Go ahead. Go ahead. From an expense side, you can see that we are budgeting some funding for administrative costs, but the majority of those are going for general and contracted services and then other uses of funds. And again, tonight we are adopting the tentative budget and setting a date for the public hearing on May 20th. Tonight is listed also as a public hearing, so we would allow people if they would like to make comments tonight as well. The public hearing is again scheduled for May 20th at the city council meeting, and the budget adoption is currently tentatively scheduled for June 3rd. Budget can be adopted as presented, or the council may make changes to the tentative budget. Questions? I see no questions. Thank you. This is the public hearing. Is there anyone here from the public who would like to address the board on Resolution CRA 2502? I see no public. We'll close the public hearing. Bring it back to the council. Mr. Mayor, I make a motion that we approve resolution CRA 25-02. All right. Motion by Mr. Lowry to approve. Resolution 2502, is there a second? I'll second. Second by Ms. Vaudrey. All right, any further discussion? Mr. Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Vaudrey? Yes. Ms. Lowry? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. Items approved four to zero unanimously, although reluctantly. Item 2C is next. This is also a public hearing. It's Resolution CRA 2503. It's a resolution amending the Community Reinvestment Agency of Draper City adopted budget for fiscal year 2024-2025. Go ahead, Mr. Veik. So as I mentioned earlier, we have four items on this budget amendment where we have road projects that we are proposing to use CRA funding to be able to meet those needs within the areas. Again, this is the 1300 East and Draper Parkway from the Sandhills project area. Highland Drive sidewalk connection from the South Mountain. project area, Galena Park Boulevard from the Frontrunner CRA project area, and then lastly, 12150 South State Street traffic signal from the Crescent CRA. Questions on that? All right, seeing no questions. This is a public hearing. Anyone from the public like to address the board on CRA 2503? I see no public. close public hearing, bring it back to the council. I move we approve resolution number CRA 25-03. Motion by Ms. Vaudrey to approve resolution CRA 25-03. Is there a second? I'll second. Ms. Johnson. All right, any further discussion? Ms. Lowry, how do you vote? I mean, Ms. Vaudrey, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. Ms. Lowry? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Item is approved unanimously four to zero. need a motion to reconvene in our city council meeting. So moved. Motion by Ms. Lowry. Second? Second. Second by Ms. Vardy. Ms. Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Vardy? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. All right. We are back into the great city council meeting that we just previously left. Are there any other items of business? I'd like to thank John for all his work on all that budget. So thank you. Excellent. Yes. Thank you. Any other items of business? Yeah, any council manager issues any of you want to bring up? I have a public works question because I had a couple of residents ask me, you know, on, my mind's just gone blank on the trail, but the one right off Forest Street by Stokes Avenue along the canal where, you know, we're still wanting to connect it, but you have on Old English Road and then also on 133 South where you cross, is there a way we could get a crosswalk on those two areas? Because I've heard of people saying when you cross the road there that there's been some close accidents. Are you following me when you go across Old English Road and then when you also cross on 132nd South to then connect back onto the trail? There isn't a crosswalk on those two areas. Do we normally take that to traffic committee for coming out of the neighborhood? Or coming off the, when you can, like if you get on the trail at Stokes Avenue and you go north, you then hit Old English Road. You still, you got to go across that public road to connect back to the trail. And then when you're connecting again off 132nd, of course, we're not connecting there right now because the trail hasn't gone through. But having a crosswalk there just would help. Maybe. Everyone okay if they look into that? Yeah, we'll have to look into it. I think the one at Old English may be too close to the other intersection, but we'll check it with Traffic Committee. And then the other thing, while we're talking right there on Stokes Avenue and Fort Street, if you're going southbound on Fort Street, you know how the road then bends, we have some markers that kind of warn of the bend. If you're going northbound, there isn't any warning of that bending. And I'm just wondering if maybe we could also look into having some markers also noting that when you're going northbound. Does that make sense? Yeah. Again, we'll do the same thing. We'll bring a traffic committee and we'll put it in as a work order. Anything else? No. Anybody else? Just two things. I just wanted to think. everyone who participated with the Arbor Day celebration for the tree committee. We had a great turnout. There was a lot of work that was done by Parks and Rec to get that all prepped. And then also the community engagement committee was involved along again with the city staff for Cinco de Mayo, which was, I think we had a fairly good turnout considering it was freezing cold, raining, My daughter said I complained the whole time when we came home. She said, Mom just complained the whole time we were there. So I think, you know, kudos to everyone who worked so hard to put that on. And we probably came home very cold and wet. So really good events, I thought. The two that spoke in public comment today, can you reach out to them, Mr. Barker? Certainly, yeah. Mike, I have... Chris's contact information. So he has been in contact with me, our code enforcement officer and our building official about the options for his structure. Okay. So, but I can get you that contact and we can chat. And then I just, the last one was about that email about the bike lanes. Do we have, so I guess the state legislature passed a new law that says you can no longer park in any bike lanes. So we have some residents worried about this. And it takes effect tomorrow. The legislature is wily. It's a moving target. We can look into options. I drove 13th East, which was the specific area the resident was concerned with. And there is no shoulder. So it's travel lane, bike lane, curb. And so under the letter of state law, we can't park along there. It seems to me that I guess the downside is certain residents, as you go farther south, nobody can park in front of their homes, which can be a benefit. But on the other hand, we've got this issue of there's a good reason why you don't block a bike lane, because it then forces bicycles out into traffic. I guess one thing we could do is look at having the bike lanes be intermittent in terms of, let's say, during Draper days. allow that parking? I'm just kind of thinking. Are we allowed to do that? I don't know if there's a state law that guides how we establish a bike lane, but we'll definitely look into it. I can think of a lot of areas in the city where this is going to be problematic, but also if someone calls to complain that someone's parked in the bike lane, we would have to then enforce, right? Because it's state law. I feel like we're going to have to communicate to residents about this somehow. Let us look in and see if there are options, what leeway we've got, and then we can come back with a plan of action. Anything else from anyone else? I think Brad has something. Just one item, Mayor. I'm making final preparations to open the splash pad at the end of the month, and I just need to get staffing and schedules set, so I wanted to see if there was any desire or wishes to change their days of operations or hours. Can you tell us what... Because we cut back the hours and days because of... Drought and also people power, right? We were open seven days a week for several years. And then we did go to six days. We cut out Sundays. And then when the drought hit and the governor asked to reduce, we went to four days, which we've done the last two seasons, which is Wednesday through Saturday. So we could either keep that same schedule or we can go every day. Do we have the staffing that we could do Monday through Saturday? Yes. Yeah, I think we're in a much better position now. What do you all want to do with that? Well, I heard that the farmer's market really wants us to open it on, is it Monday? Tuesday. Tuesday. Tuesdays. I'm sure they would. It's a huge draw for the farmer's market. But the parking is a little bit. You will have a parking problem if the splash pad is open during the farmer's farm. Especially if there's a bike lane. But maybe that's a good problem to have. Well, regardless of that, it seems like, I don't know how the attendance got towards the end of the summer, but towards the beginning, it was just crazy. And I can't see opening up that parking lot to the splash pad if we're having this event. What time do we close the splash pad? Isn't it at 8 o'clock? I mean, I love the idea of the splash pad being open when the farmer's market is going on. It just seems like such a family-friendly sort of a thing. Could we work with Channing Hall to co-op their parking lot? I think we could. They use ours every day. That is very true. Because I would like to see it open more days. Yeah, I think we've had a lot of requests over the past few years to have it open a few more days. Could we look at adding a day? Is there a day where it's not open that people really want it open? You know, we're here for every day. So right now we're kind of planning to open it every day. I'd favor if we could have it as open as many days as possible if we have the staffing. So do I. And if we can look at options for the farmer's market parking conundrum. One option not to deal with the splash pad, but technically that is a parked road, 134 South. You could close that road and just have a big event space. Oh, that's a really interesting idea. I like, Josh, your suggestion, though, talking to Channing Hall. I think that's a good suggestion. But we did talk about closing that when we first were talking about moving the food trucks over there. What does that do to 300 East? Is that also going to be all this parking on 300 East? Well, no, because it's a bike lane and that's illegal now, Fred. Got it. Okay. There is a bike lane on 300 East. You could use the road for parallel parking. For parking, yeah. Does that create more staff, though? The question was hours on the park. Let's deal with that one first. Do you guys want to open the park different hours? More days, different hours, is that what it was? Yeah, I'd be open Monday through Saturday. More days, for sure. Yeah, I think that's been one of our most requested things. I mean, I've definitely heard Sundays. Is it open Sundays now? It's not. Yeah, I've had several emails about Sundays, just because it's a weekend day when people are home, you know? It is the most, excuse me, the least attended day of the week. It's the least attended day. Okay, so it sounds like they want to open it every day. Okay, that's what we'll do. Why don't you come up with a proposal of how you'd close that road and how it would look before they make that decision sitting up here? Okay, yeah, we can do that. Or the splash pad will just... planned to open on the end of the month and go seven days a week. You're saying you have, just to confirm, you have the staffing to be able to do that. So we will, okay. But if you want to look at that closing that road, will you come up with some plan that you've run through the traffic people, the committee, to make sure it works? Yeah. Okay, I do have another question for you. We heard from Mr. Clower this evening about this request for an arborist. I feel like we've also really prioritized parks and recs in the budget this year. Are you able to make an arborist a priority from within your current staff? When you authorized a mowing contractor, that reallocated a lot of our staff time. Our current plan is if the arborist isn't funded, then we would create Essentially, we'd need to reshuffle some staffing, but yes, we would create an arborist position within our current staff because of the hours that are now repurposed because of the mowing contractor. So it will be possible? Yes. Awesome. Thank you. Yeah, I think that would be really great if we could do that. And that was why we approved the mowing contract funds, was for you to be able to use the staff you have and reappropriate their time. Right. so I'm glad to hear that that will work. We'll need to reshuffle some positions, and we'll need to get some people trained, but that will be the end goal as you asked to have. Awesome. Thank you. Could you provide us with just a tentative proposal of what that might look like before we actually close on the budget, just so that we can see how that would look like within your department with that? Just like a mapping document by position, sure. Thank you. Also, I was very happy about the lights at the amphitheater. I've gotten a couple emails on that one, too. People are so thankful for the new lighting. I am, too. I don't know what we would have done without it. We actually turned them on for the first time last night. I heard. I have already heard. Fantastic. So thank you. Are they easier to maneuver and stuff too? Oh, yeah. So the old ones, you know, that were 15 years old, they were the old not LEDs. So anytime you wanted to move them, you had to lean the ladder in the bushes up against the pole and change the gels or move them or focus them. These are all controlled from the board. They can have hundreds of different colors. They can be moved. They can be focused, they can be narrow, wide, they'll be great for another 15, 20 years. Anybody else? Chief, go ahead. Thank you. I just wanted to let the mayor and council know, and well, Mike's pretty much hearing this for the first time too. We just got word actually just yesterday, I think it was yesterday, yeah, that we had submitted last year through the Utah Department of Natural Resources for a grant. This is through the Wildland Urban Interface Prevention, Preparedness, and Mitigation Fund request. We were notified yesterday that we were awarded a grant in the tune, well, for a total of just a few dollars shy of $120,000, and this will be to create a fire break up in the Mercer Hollow area. So this will be a substantial project with funding to complete that that will take place starting this year up in that area. This is a zero matching dollars from the city, so it's just a flat basically fee or donation to us. There were, just to give you an idea of the competitiveness, there were... a total of 19 applications that were received from across the state totaling over $4.9 million in funding and they had a total of $967,000 to actually allocate. And we were the only basically singly funded project within Salt Lake County to be awarded. So a great job by our team, but just wanted to show that we did get that grant funding to help support those mitigation efforts. That's great. Thank you. I'm sure with all this rain, it's going to grow well, the stuff that burns later. Anybody else have anything else? Go ahead, sir. Very quickly, just to build on what Clint...
