Since we have enough of you to do so, we'll start off. We need a closed session, but we're going to hold off for that until we have Mike and Tasha here. So we're going to start off with our emergency management plan. Nick, come on up, sir. Come on up, sir. Hey, Clint. There's the clicker up there, too, that you should be able to use. Yes. I think we pulled it up already. Really quick, I'm going to give this to Nick here. And you can stand up here because that will fill in. So again, In this current budget year, you guys approved to hire a part-time emergency management specialist. We've been very fortunate to pick up Nick Roble, who is actually a member of our community, comes with a lot of experience, spent I don't know how many years down in the Las Vegas area. 18. There you go, 18. And so he's gonna give you an update on our comprehensive emergency management plan. This is one of many plans that we have to update regularly that's tied in back to the county and then has to be, this one has to be approved by the state and by FEMA both on this one, Nick? No, not FEMA. Just the state. In compliance with the preparedness guide. So again, this is one of many, but this is one that we felt like is important from a city's perspective for him to take in just a few minutes and run through with members of the council so they can understand exactly what's going on. encompassed in this plan and also a good opportunity for Nick just to talk a few minutes about all the many things he's been working on. He's been very, very busy working for us, and he's doing a great job. So I'm going to get out of the way and let Nick take it over. Thanks, Chief. Thank you very much, Chief. Thank you for the council having me tonight, Mayor. Thank you. I'm just going to go over the comprehensive emergency management plan. Some of the objectives we're going to outline tonight is a framework for managing disasters and emergency within the city, identify some departmental responsibilities, and then actually discuss plan implementation and our next steps from here. Want me to click it? Sure. I appreciate that, Mayor. Nope. Nope. Too much. Too much clicking. Yes, please. So the comprehensive emergency management plan was put together with the FEMA comprehensive preparedness guide and with Salt Lake County Emergency Management reviewing and approving our plan. So we're required to have one by Utah code under the Emergency Management Act. And it is done in compliance with NIMS and the Incident Command System. Go to the next slide, please. So who does this apply to? Well, it applies to all the Draper City departments. It's in coordination with county, state, and federal authorities. So we will rely on those different entities during a disaster. And it does integrate, as I said, with Salt Lake County Emergency Management and Utah DEM. And it's based on the hazard mitigation plan and our risk profile. Some of the things that it does is it establishes what we are going to do for command and control, defines the operational procedures across all of the departments, what departments are going to be responsible for what exactly, identifies the key role of responsibility and resource coordination, and supports our continuity of government plan. And then also our community preparedness and our resilience. Next slide, please. So our concept of operations, basically what are our priorities going to be in a disaster? priority is going to be life safety. Number two, incident stabilization, property and environmental protection, community lifeline stabilization, and then the continuity of government. We still have a responsibility to continue governmental operations during a disaster. We have our five operational phases, our prevention, protection, preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. Next slide. So some of our focus areas, regular plan updates now that we actually have a comprehensive emergency management plan, then continuity of operations plan integration with that. How are we gonna continue to function as a government? Our training and exercise program. It is Homeland Security exercise evaluation program compliant. Baseline FEMA ICS NIMS training for all of our staff. And then public education and outreach. So some things we're gonna do to engage with the community. We have our community emergency response team, our Notified Draper public alerts. Our partnerships with the American Red Cross and our VOADS, we use the American Red Cross for sheltering in disaster, things of that nature. And then, a public ordinance campaign, Be Ready Draper, that's based on the Be Ready Utah program. So, our commanding coordination structure, our incident command post can be our field operations, our emergency operations center, can be the coordination that we use with logistics, situational awareness, and then backed by our policy group. which will consist of the mayor, city manager, our chiefs, and senior leaders. So ESC activation, who has the authority to activate? Our city manager or emergency manager, and then we have two activation levels. We have a full activation level, and then we have a partial activation level. Next slide. So as part of the response operation, some of the key actions, we wanna establish a common operating procedure. We wanna know what's going on out in our city. So we're gonna use different departments to do that. So coordinating our public information via the JIC, which is Joint Information Center, damage assessments, request mutual aid and resources, and then support community protective actions and evacuations as necessary. So how does a disaster declaration process work? So once the city realizes that our resources have been overran, we're gonna ask our neighboring jurisdictions. Once that happens, We go to the county level, then we go to the state level, and then ultimately on to the federal level. Next slide, please. So once we start transitioning from response to recovery, it's typically once the hazards are contained, our lifelines have been reestablished, our damage assessment's been completed, we'll establish what's called a recovery task force. That's to coordinate our recovery priorities and start to basically rebuild our jurisdiction. So within the plan it has roles and responsibilities that are actually laid out for all of the city departments. This is actually in the plan, this is just a sample, but it encompasses all city departments. Next slide. So this plan will be reviewed annually by the fire department. We plan on updating it every three years or if we do have an incident, lessons learned, exercises, things of that nature. And then as stated before, We do integrate it with the department continuity of operations plans and then continuous improvement through after action reports from exercises or previous events. Does anyone have any questions for me? How will this be pushed out and trained? Is there a training component to make sure everybody knows their specific role? Yes, so after it is propagated, we will train it to the different departments and help them to understand what their roles are specifically within disaster response. Can we get a NIMS 400 level if we can? We are working on that. Because I think there's a bunch of us that are stuck at 300. We need to have that 400. We are working on that. There is one NIMS 400 that currently should be available on U-Train right now. It's in January, the first part of January. And that will be held out. It's actually the Valley Fire Department that's putting that on. So it will actually be held out at the South Jordan a fire station out of Mountain View, Coralville, but it should be available on U-Train currently. We've got 300 that we're doing actually at the first, let's see, the first week of December and then 400 will be in January, so. And can you comment on what community outreach you've done and what your vision is for that? So I'm working on re-establishing the CERT team I've worked with the University of Utah to get access to their learning management system. So now we can actually certify new community members as CERT members, working on building that resource itself. And then working with various community people, going out to different events, going out for our fire prevention night, things of that nature. We used to have two emergency type committees, one which was comprised of members from all the hospital, the school district, et cetera. And then there was another one. Do you see a need to reconstitute an internal emergency committee of some sort? I think that there's really good communications. Obviously, that decision will be left up to the city council and the mayor. I think that there's really good communications with community members, as is. I don't necessarily see a need for it at this moment. because the communication is very good. Thank you. So with the CERT program, is the idea to get individuals certified throughout the city? Like are you going to identify different districts or areas? So currently there's 10 identified districts within Draper City. what we'd like to do is rebuild that CERT program, get a list of who is actually currently CERT certified, and then rebuild that program to where we can have a functioning volunteer program that we can use not only for disasters, but for other events such as rape reviews. Within the CERT program, there are certain training add-ons that allow for traffic control and different things that would be helpful to the city. And communications too, right? Correct, yes. So will this When will that be available for us to? As soon as it's promulgated by the city. So once it's approved by the city, FEMA recommends that it's adopted by elected officials. It doesn't have to be, but it is recommended by FEMA. I can send out copies to the council, and then maybe we can address it in January. What role does Utah County have? The majority of our land is located within Salt Lake County. Let's say there was a massive earthquake. How do we integrate with what Utah County is doing? That's still a work in progress. We do have, obviously, a part of our city is in Utah County. So that is a concern of being able to integrate with Utah County along with Salt Lake County. With the way that the city is set up and working with Salt Lake County, I think it would require a response from both Salt Lake County and Utah County. Thank you. Nick, will you also just mention just really quickly the other plans that you are currently working on that really then support our comprehensive emergency management plan? Absolutely. So currently I'm working on the continuity of operations for the fire department, the logistics annex, and the sheltering annex. The sheltering annex is basically the plan for how the city will shelter citizens within the disaster. So that includes working with our VOADs, working with the American Red Cross to get shelter sites identified and then pre-screened with the American Red Cross so that way they're available during a disaster. Our logistics annex is what we are going to use if we need to distribute emergency supplies. So currently we have 10 sites that have been pre-identified as distribution sites that we could use in a disaster. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Merrick. Good work. Any other questions? Awesome. Will you email it to me for the presentation? Absolutely. Thank you. All right, next. Thank you, Nick. Next one is a discussion on the boundary line adjustment. Yeah, let's go ahead and do that. That shouldn't take very long. You want the clicker? Something. The mouse? Mouse. Clicker. Whatever you want. So this is just to kind of prime the pump a little bit in terms of coordination with Bluffdale City. So this is the point project. Google needs to update their satellite photo. Over here is where UTA plans to put a front runner station. And then there's going to be a road that connects 146th up in this general direction. That's just to orient you. So the road is, the majority of the road is in Bluffdale, but there's a section here at this intersection that's actually within Draper City. The proposal we'll bring back to you is to adjust our common boundaries so that all this road is within the boundaries of Bluffdale so that there's not overlapping jurisdiction on the road, there's not overlapping maintenance requirements, that type of thing. Because really all that will be in Draper is an intersection and then, you know, 40 or 50 feet of pavement on each side of that intersection. So I'll work with Bluffdale to get that coordinated. The other thing we'll probably have to bring back too is, so this, from 6 West is Porter Rockwell Boulevard. It meets down in 146. As it turns out, the end of 146 is actually in Bluffdale, so we may probably have to adjust that boundary so that Porter Rockwell Trail is all within Draper City boundaries. We'll coordinate with Bluffdale City and either do those two things together or piggyback them one after the other. Are the sizes about the same? I can't remember. It's been a while since we've met with Bluffdale regarding the size of this. The one near the front runner station is not a very big... You will recall this was in Draper and we flipped it over a couple of years ago. Yeah, I remember that. Now it's new. Just kind of priming the pump tonight. Okay, that's all. So is the building making most of the land within Draper? It's to make sure that the jurisdiction of every road is under one city. So this front runner road would be in Bluffdale and all of Port Rockwell would be in Draper up to 146. So kind of where it fits the best. Exactly, yeah. Because we're going to take ownership of Port Rockwell. All of it should be in our jurisdiction. We want to have the simple absolute road and that way sign that says, we fix from here to here. That's right. And suddenly Bluffdale said, eh, we're not going to fix that end of it. We're joints. It's just about having it. Yep. Okay, do you want to hit the closed session now that we have everybody here? All right, so we have a need to go into a closed session. I'd like a, and it's for litigation? Yes. It's a litigation reason. Is there a motion to go into a closed session for litigation purposes? So moved. Can we add character account to become a super person? If you want one. Yeah, that too. And real estate transactions. For all the purposes legally, it was a close session. And to talk about security. Yes. Let's do it all. Okay, so Mr. Green, did you make the motion? I made the motion. Second? I'll second. All right, Mr. Green, how do you vote? Yes. Green? Yes. Osher? Yes. Osher? Yes. Great. Yes. Okay, close session for us. It's on. Right. Thank you very much. We talked about maybe drawing names again for the Christmas party. Is everybody okay with that? Will you manage that again? Did we draw names ahead of time? Did I know that it was you? So we didn't just get there and pick a gift. We got there and somehow it happened there. I think we just picked a gift. We picked ahead of time. We just picked a gift, that's all right. I catered to your person. So I got your New Year's e-pack. Do you want me to tell you who I am? For the party. Sabrina might be here, right? Anyone want to come? We're ready for Brett. Go ahead, sir. All right. Mayor and council actually got two quick things for you. So I'll try and go fast. But if you have any questions, let me know. You can review what projects parks and restaurants. These are the ones that are going to drop off just a reminder that you know what the residents now have nice basketball, pickleball court or sunrise neighborhood. Troy's certified. I'm training. Just to let you know, we finally worked with Lehigh. We got all of their trails done. The ones that Lehigh paid for, a lot of them are on our property. But it was the footpath that just got completed. So now Lehigh's Dream, Mayor's Trail, and the footpath are all done. Got a connection to Lehigh and Draper's. They'll be dropping off as well. Neat new trails. Okay, so the ones we're working on right now, just to give you a quick update. Jensen Farm, phase three. We got through all the procurement. We got the design done. We're probably staging and mobilizing tomorrow. Contractor's been dumping a lot of dirt in there. That'll be this green area. We'll have a couple pickleball courts, a multi-use court, a new smaller playground, restroom, a barn. It's also a storage shed. New parking lot, new full-size soccer field. This will come a little later. This is where we're going to try and do some of the bike trails. We'll keep the neighborhood kids there instead of just ripping up the park. We'll see if it works. It should be pretty awesome. If the weather stays the way it is, we'll get a lot of work done this winter, but now we'll pick it up. It should be done by the summer. It should be working after winter. All that stuff will be in by the summer. Yeah, all that's in green will be done. That's going to be a great park. I honestly think it's going to be My favorite one of them all. Makes me really happy for all those residents over there that have been waiting for it for so long. Yeah, and one of the top two has really been... Oh, they are so happy. Yeah. We really need some nice parkour. And you've got a lot of kids over there, which is actually kind of nice. Oh, yeah. It's a great neighborhood. It's weird to think a few years ago that was just weeds as far as you can see. Wow, awesome. So there's that phase three we're currently going on right now. Carpe Diem we've talked about, but this is the one that we re-designated last year as a bike-only downhill for safety reasons. So we're reworking it. It's pretty much done until you get right down here. I wrote to the staff a few weeks ago, and it might be my favorite downhill trail. It's not quite a float trail like we have over on the Utah countryside. It is a float trail, but it's more kind of back country. It's a little narrow, a little tighter. So far the views of the path people have arrived at. What's it called? Carpe Diem. Wait, is it, it connects right by Peak View? Uh-huh. So if you take Peak View Trail up to where it will start. Oh, okay. Point to me the parking lot. So it's over around the most east part of the trail. And then it ties back into hog hole? It can. Actually, yes, it ties into hogs right down here. And then you can take long comb up and make a loop. Or you can go up on the baby. Or you can go up, yeah. But it's getting reworked. So it's a flow trail. So it's downhill only. Pretty neat. So it's almost done. This one, we've been working with UTA a lot. We have a big problem here with this intersection with a bunch of people crossing and causing issues with traffic. So we're trying to get them off the street. We've had this bridge here for years. Finally got them to allow us hopefully to use it. We haven't got final approval yet. But a few things. We've really decided we need to add this little leg. This is used for a lot of parking. If someone wanted to park here, we need to get them off the trail instead of making them go through the intersection again. So it would be a really great access as well. We're really trying to cut the track and remove it, kind of like we did over by Future Way. I think we've gotten where they're finally going to let us cut it. But by doing that, I have no idea about any of this. We have to do a survey for each parcel. This is the parcel line. We have to go all the way to the north and all the way to the south. It's going to be about another $6,000 minimum. What's the purpose of the survey? So basically, it's a snapshot, so they know everything that's in there, everything that's historic, where the tracks were. Like Jen did, kind of with . It's a record of survey. Yeah. Kind of an inventory. So what's reported on the property, where it's probably going? That's the minimum. We have three bids. So how do you keep people from still using the purple? Are you going to pull that part out? No, it'll still be there as an access, but if someone lived in this neighborhood over here, they would get off and go use it. But for most people that are just using it as a throughway, now they don't have to stop and cross traffic and everything. It goes right over to the old machine. It'll be really nice. So we're waiting on UTA to give us final approval. Then we'll get going. Some of the extra costs we might have to do a budget amendment. I don't know yet. Will that be paved? This will all be paved. Absolutely. You'll come in. This will all be paved now, so you can just keep going and have a continuous trail all through Draper without road trusses. Well, of course, you have one. On top of the bridge, are there some kind of guardrails or something? Uh-huh. On both sides of the rock. High enough that kids aren't going to jump on them or something? Well, I've never put anything past the bridge. They have no problem dropping rocks. There's already a dirt trail that I ride in every single time I ride. People are already using it, yes. There is a fence, but it's got a hole in it. But the dirt trail just goes all the way down. Yes, this is the dirt trail, which brings me to the last point here. They've asked if we would just incorporate this with our plan, the dirt trail. meaning making it an official Draper City Trail. No extra money, anything. But when we're doing this whole thing, we want to adopt that as an official city trail in the corridor. That's what we'd like us to do. Why not? To get to the cycle park. That's what we say. Why not? Takes you right up to the question. Might as well. The cycle park trail or something. Really neat project. Really needed. Can we just remove the belt heads on that? That would be good. That's one of the worst places to go. They had quite a year this year, too. They did. But yes, it's one that, as long as you get it paid, it's certainly trying to maintain it. This is a very simple one. This is where we're working with this property owner to do just a neighborhood access for all these people who live in the Cranberry neighborhood. There's this connection. But the homeowner has actually really been gung-ho to get the city kind of running I'm ready to rip it off. We haven't done a whole lot on this. We've had some conversations with some of the residents. If there's any direction, happy to take it. We've had eight years to bury. Yeah, we raised all the money. We've had eight years to do it. I thought we were ready to move forward. Where are we going? Sorry, Mike, you were trying to say something. Some of you expressed a desire to have a little bit narrower trail that would be able to be more maneuverable through the encroachments. The way it stands now, there's enough encroachments with the 10-foot trail. Is plan A a 10-foot? Yeah, it's 10 currently on both sides right now. Right. That's what we had. We may run into issues of having resistance. legal resistance to removing stuff off out of the easement area. The question is whether or not the council would consider a slightly narrower trail that may be a little bit more nimble in maneuvering in that area. That's always been what I wanted, was a compromise. I think we still get the trail and we don't have to make people tear their whole backyard down. Are you saying like an 80 foot trail? eight foot paved trail? I think if we did an eight foot paved trail, that's the minimum that Asheville standards would say. Especially if you have two-way. That's the idea, is to have people do it with eight foot. Let's think of it like a sidewalk. We're getting that with a six foot trail. Is there any way that those residents pay for that two foot easement? I guess it's their property, isn't it? They own the property. They want to be in the easement. They have to pay to be in the easement, correct? Sure. That's what I mean with that. If we compromise and go to an eight-foot trail, they need to pay something or we grow top. But doing that, it would also definitely require a fence along the canal. Some of these areas where it's the worst encroachment, that's like seven, eight feet. Max would say. So the trail would be So what do you guys want to do with it? I'm okay with the eight foot trail. I think that those that are encroaching on it, there needs to be some type of compensation for rescinding that section of easement. If we're going to release the easement on that parcel, they should pay us. Is that three of you? They've always said they would, so I think it's a fair thing to ask. It'll cover the cost of the trail, I suppose. Or the fence. And you can make it work with eight feet? Let it cover what the cost of the fence would be is what I believe. Do we really have that on the fence? It seems like there are a lot of places where the trail is falling off and outside. The only place we have similar is right up here on this side. There's no fence over there. There is a fence right between the trail and the canal. But there's always the next section on it. But then when you get past the long corner canyon, there's no fence on the canal. No. Because we have the whole 15 feet corridor. And if we had the whole 15 feet corridor here, we wouldn't be picked off. But we're going to let the encroachment in Maine and they're on the trail. That's where we get the problem. They should pay for the fence. So an eight foot trail. Doesn't it say you can't have a fence or something? Well, the plat says no fence within the easement. The question is, does that mean perpendicular across the easement? This whole corridor has a fence right now. So every one of them is pretty much in violation. Correct. That's how it's supposed to be meant. across east and west a little bit. Is it Cal Company? Cal Company, right. That's their position, too, as far as I know. This won't be an eight-foot fence. It'll be a smaller one. Probably a four-foot fence I could do on the other side. Do you guys want to do that, eight-foot trail? Make them pay for the people in the encroachment, pay us the fair value of the ? Yeah, I would actually feel good about that. Yeah. We're in? Marcia, we're in? That's pretty unanimous. They foot trail the whole corridor, right? They foot trail the whole corridor. And the people that are approaching pay us for that. We'll reach out to the neighbors and tell them, here's your choice. We're going to either punch a 10-footer through or do it this way. Are you all good with that? If they say no, then we'll just punch them through. I think that's a fair compromise. I really do. Gotcha. Yes. All right. Perfect. Now you have direction. Clear. We've got clear direction. Thank you. This one's very quick. We're just going to be finishing the coverage here. This has been great to have. We're given the bike shop about seven or eight feet of our property, so we're going to reclaim that with the fence on the property line so we can get back behind this new shed. Probably have to be done by the end of the year, but let spring just be safe. This is one I know several of you have interest in. You can see we've done a lot here. This is the two park properties between Inauguration and Sunrise. This up until a few months ago had that big fence with all those big ugly rushing all those hills and everything. We ripped all those out and now working with Robert Public Works to give us permission to reduce the retention of this by a long way. We'll still have a little storage. But this can pretty much just be flattened and made one nice park. So it'll really be great. And now all of the election neighborhood can access nice part of the park playground. That'll be great. This one's the one we got the grant for. This is our bridge that's about to fall in because this thing just keeps widening and widening. So this is just an example. It'd be a five-foot wide one, but it'd be right up here, right above Red Rock Trailhead. We'd have to realign the We don't want to risk it any longer. It's funded and we got the grant as well, so we're ready to get that one in. I'm trying to go fast here. There's not much going on in this one, but that's the one we approved to get it tuned up on. It's paid by the New Trout Foundation. Here's just a few I just wanted to run through with you real quick. These next few are the ones that are very high with the Park, Trout, and Rec Committee that they recommend. This would just be a small section to build up a trail. The intent would be this eagle crash, you don't get busy, it's two-way traffic. People, it comes up what's hollow, they don't want to go to these hollow trails, make it busy. So if someone was going east, if we connect that a little so they can go on Rattle and Hum, use this connection, miss all the uphill traffic from what's hollow and everything, and keep going on their way. Or it creates those For a short little section of trail, it gives us a lot of good, not very expensive. And with these, we can do a resolution in March like we did last year with some of the projects with the ETR committee that they want to push forward. So that would be one of them. This one, I think, would be really neat. If you're familiar with Vertigo and Levitate, they are separate trails, but then they come to a point where they merge. separate here then they merge and for this part you use the same trail vertigo and levitate the same and then they split but where levitate's on the bottom here when they go back separate levitate's on the top vertigo's on the bottom so the idea here is to put vertigo in the geo trench that's already cut there and have the bridge go over so that there's no there's no dangerous areas they're always separated great use people would love it. So there's no more merges or trossings of the trail. That's a good idea. That one would probably be a corner canyon trail. This one, I just wanted to show you this picture. These are the staff standing here. This is the one that Lehigh just built. So this would be Lehigh's dream, the downhill flow trail with their flyover. went to Arkansas a few months ago to ride some of their trails they had time to leave. They're really iconic, they'd be really neat for our trail system. But we have the same issue over here on Maple Hollow Downhill. Maple Hollow is up here. But when you ride it, this is the part everybody hates. We did it intentionally to make it slow because you're coming across in the hands, which is a very busy, multi-use trail. So the thought by the PTR committee would reroute it so it's still afloat, keep coming down, still make nice big turns. But then when you get to Anse, we would have a flyover similar to this. So again, it's more safe, more fun, it looks iconic, bring a lot of pictures and people bragging about our trails. So it really would be a great. This is the one that the PTR committee at the last meeting was the highest priority that had safety issues and so my thought is i'd like to see if we could open the budget and find the 25k to start doing this quickly that was my i think the dollar amount is pretty low as far as there's something in the budget we can find well right my question on the funding is i think every one of these has said potential funding by the corner so they're all possible they're all possible to get I really just want to make sure that you as a county can be okay to proceed forward. If not, then will it be done? But if you were okay, then we can try and find out some of the revenue sources. I think the Trust Foundation would be really interested in funding this one. Are they still coming up with money? The Trails Foundation? Yeah. This one's just very... I don't know if you've ever been through these rock formations. There's a lot of social trails going in. This is one that we would build ourselves, so no funding needed. We do it in half of our trails. It's just a nice little loop around Red Rock. These are really like some national park looking things. You could be walking through this fire, you could walk through that fire, and that would help with the erosion and people making all the social travels. It'd be a pretty easy one where we could cut ourselves in-house and not need any funding for it. This one I'll just be quick. There's still a lot of moving parts, but there's been some discussion with Alpine, with Blue Bison, was blue license to build this trail with entrada to a lot of different donors but people wanted this this was also a really high priority for btr committee i spoke with entrada they're willing to do this but they want to talk about their full entitlement as a part of it so and just entitlement to what i don't know but that's what his message blows to me. And then Sagerfield's been blowing me up. So I'm sure it has something to do with this, but I haven't called him back. He would love to be still on board. This really benefits Alpine more than anyone, doesn't it? It certainly would benefit Alpine, but it makes a really big loop that gets to Three Falls and stuff a lot easier. I really have no need to help. that wasn't clear so i will say in toronto most of their property is within draper city but they are cut off from any of our street improvements anything like that i think they're trying to work with alpine and highland to get access to their property but they have come in for drc a few times over the last couple years looking at doing So what can be the trail for Alpine and Highland if you let us put houses? Yeah, and I don't remember what the density was. It's very steep slope, so I think it was more like a state lots, that kind of thing. But they are wanting to do it. Is that it? What I'm hearing is we are. There's more work to do on the ground. That's what you're hearing. What does the Park and Trails Committee say about that? They would love to see it. They would love to see that connection between the falls and that loop. I can wait and do the mowing and the mowing. I'd say you assessed that pretty well. We all have a few minutes. We can do our council manager stuff at the end. Take a break and then we'll go in there. All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our city council meeting. We have a chance to get started right on time, so I'm going to seize the day on that. We sometimes don't, so I appreciate everyone being here. I'm going to call this meeting to order. Our first order of business item number two on our agenda is the Pledge of Allegiance, and we're going to have that done by our HR director, Derek Orth. Derek, come on up, sir. Thank you. All right. Next item on our agenda, item number three. I'm going to turn the time over to our fire chief, Mr. Clint Smith, where he will administer the or present the oath for firefighters and maybe some paramedics for the oath of office. Go ahead, chief. Mayor and council, thank you again for the opportunity to be in front of you tonight with some of our. newly promoted and new members to our department to present and swear in for you at this time. Again, we're very fortunate to have the members that we do and to continue to attract good talent into our organization and want to just introduce each of these to you quickly tonight. First up, we have Boyd Hammond, who is being promoted to the rank of engineer within our organization. And, you know, I want to share a little bit about each of these individuals with you as we go. So Boyd was born in Florida, obviously to two amazing parents who taught him the value of hard work, humility, and that if you're early, you're on time, and if you're on time, you're late. I think that's a good model to live by. Those lessons stuck until he got married, that is. And his wife then decided that on time was more of a suggestion, apparently. After he was born, he moved to Utah when he was only a few years old, and he's called the Sandy Draper area home for almost his entire life. He has one amazing sister and an incredible niece that live in the area as well. After a few years of figuring out what it was he wanted to be when he grew up, he decided that firefighting was much cooler than being a cop, and so Boyd found himself his calling in the fire service. He started with Draper Fire on the wildland side of things. He was actually hired as part of our seasonal fuels mitigation crew. He worked there and was eventually transitioned over to the full-time structure side of things. He loves both the structure and the wild land, and he's very grateful in our agency to be able to work in two areas that he loves and supports. Over the past four years, he's worked tirelessly to serve in our community, running calls, participating obviously in fire and EMS training and perfecting, His stair chair and stretcher operations for this promotion, because we all know that our engineers are referred to from time to time as our stretcher fetchers, so he's well prepared for that. At home, Boyd is a husband, a proud bonus dad to a rambunctious six-year-old, and a rescue pup that he spends a lot of his free time now trying to train. Between family and life and the job, he's learned to survive on Rockstar's ramen and the occasional recliner nap where he swears he's just resting his eyes. I have been there myself many times. So we're very, very proud of Boyd, his continued dedication. Again, seeing him. initially start out in our seasonal fields crew program and now over many years continue to prepare himself and continue to advance. For me in the position of chief, there's nothing more rewarding than seeing your people be successful throughout their career. So with that, we'd like to bring Boyd up now and we'll administer the oath of office for him for his promotion. And then we will ask those invited to come up and do a badge pinning for us. front and center. We're all listening, Boyd. First off, if I can have members of my command staff come up here with me, would we do this? Yes, that would be both of you. Come on up. And then whoever's been selected to come and pin the badge on, come on up. true supervisor, and is passionate about protecting the city through his prevention and mitigation efforts. And I would also like to mention, you may have saw a Facebook post on our department Facebook page just a little over a week ago. Parker was also recognized, I'm going to switch here, see a few more pictures, but Parker was recognized by the Utah Division of Forestry Fire and State Lands two weeks ago with the 2025 wildland urban interface mitigation award and they they choose one recipient out of projects across the whole state to recognize and so i think that demonstrates what a tremendous job he's been doing in this role and what he is doing to help reduce that threat that exists to our community and so we're very proud of the work that that he has been doing so Come on up. You get to stand here while I read about everyone else. And everyone can enjoy looking at his long locks while he's up here. Next up, we have firefighter Josh Myers. Josh grew up in Alpine, Utah. And the fire service, it wasn't just a career path. It's really been part of his family's legacy and identity. He's following in the footsteps of both his grandfather and his father. His father is with us tonight. He continues... that legacy of service, dedication, and courage that spans three generations. Josh married his high school sweetheart, Maren, and together they have two children, a two-year-old boy, Max, and a six-month-old boy, Leo, who will grow up watching their dad serve in his community just as he has been able to do with his dad, seeing that same commitment and heart that has inspired him through his entire life. And they currently reside in American Fork. And Josh, again, was a member of our seasonal fuels crew this year and tested. And now we've been able to obviously bring him into the full-time ranks. And we're super excited to have him. Josh, come on up here and let people look at you now while I read the last one. And then last but not least, we have firefighter Wesley Rash. Wes was born and raised in Troutman, North Carolina. He became a volunteer firefighter at the age of 18, fresh out of high school and really on the hills of 9-11. He earned an associate's in applied science in the field of fire protection technology and then worked as a full-time firefighter EMT in Mooresville, North Carolina. He then left for a couple of years to serve an LDS mission in San Francisco. Upon returning his mission, he met his wife. The week he got home, they were married just six short months later. Following this, Wes went back to school and graduated with a bachelor's degree in healthcare administration from Weber State University and embarked on a career in that field. While he's passionate about helping people in any capacity, the call to the fire service never seemed to leave him. So shortly after welcoming their fifth child into their family in 2022, Wes left the desk job behind and returned to his original passion of full-time firefighting back again in his hometown of Troutman, North Carolina. He's been a proud member of Troutman, Davidson, and Lake Norman Field Fire Departments for several years, and he looks forward to this new journey here in Utah. And he says that he's honored to have the chance here to work in Draper and to serve the citizens of this amazing city. And he and his wife and five children currently reside down in Utah County. We're very fortunate, again, to have somebody of his caliber and expertise that's joining us. So, Wes, come on up, sir. Fuel 3 will come over here. We'll administer the office, and then we will work through the badge pinnings. Okay, we're going to ask, we'll do the badge pinning for Parker first, if we can have your lovely wife come forward. Josh, if you'd like to have your lovely wife come forward. And Mr. Rash, if your lovely wife would like to come forward. Thank you, Mayor and Council. We appreciate the opportunity to come and be with you again tonight and present these outstanding individuals to you. Thank you, Chief. We're lucky in Draper to have such great firefighters and paramedics, and we have the best in the land. So again, welcome to all of you. We're glad to have you. Your families, thank you for sharing them with us. Hopefully they like working here, and we're certainly glad to have all of them. And thank you for coming. Glad to have you. You're certainly welcome to stay if you're bored. out of your minds, and you'd like to hear some public business, we'd love to have you, but otherwise, you're welcome to go. All right, that takes us to item number four, which is the next item on our agenda. This is an opportunity for people to make general public comment to the council. We have items on our agenda. I think we have six public hearings. If you're here for a public hearing item, we ask that you wait for that public hearing item so we can keep our record clear. But if you'd like to make a general public comment, I have one card. Let me see a show of hands. Is there anyone else that would like to make a general public comment this evening? All right, I have one, sir. So our rules are, you come up to the... I got two cards, I guess. All right. When it's your turn, I'll call your name. Come up to the microphone. Give us your name and address. That'll start a time. The time to my right and your left is three minutes. You certainly don't have to use them all, but you're welcome to. But at the end of three minutes, your time will be over, and that's the way we do it here. So if you're in the middle of a thought, you'll have to come back another time. Otherwise, we will be glad to hear your comment. Again, it's not a conversation with the council, but it's an opportunity to make a comment for them to hear. They may address your issue later when public comment's over and they can talk amongst themselves. But otherwise, it's an opportunity for you to be heard. So the first card I have is, is it Graham Hepworth? Grant. Grant. Come on up, sir. Give us your name and address, and we'll be glad to hear from you. Grant Haworth, 4523 West Thorley. in Harriman, Utah, recently. And I have read your bios. I'm pleased to be able to share with you today. The colonies had a difficult time with their religion because there were multiple dominant religions in the different colonies. They struggled with tax problems. In the state of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson as governor and James Madison as an assemblyman put together a bill and that bill reflected the freedom of religion which eventually became the first amendment to the constitution and that was passed January 16th of 1786. Two centuries later the state of Utah passed its own freedom of religion day recognizing that, and each governor since that period of time has indeed recognized it publicly with their own declaration. Each president of the United States since 1992 has also publicly recognized January 16th as religious freedom day. The Utah bill specifically states that it urges citizens and governments to remember and honor religious freedom and reflect on it as something worthwhile that those citizens and governments would do. So my request today is for you to consider as a mayor and council establishing a Religious Freedom Day for your community. There are five other communities who have already done this. Some of them do it by framing and hanging, such as this, their proclamation. The governor's proclamation isn't quite so fancy, but just looks as nicely as well. In our communities, we have seen in Minnesota burnings of buildings. In Boston, the killing of Catholics. The Baptists have had their buildings burned. Here we have Jewish members who have to have a guard in order to meet in their synagogue. And our Muslims sometimes live in fear. But more importantly, we need to make sure that we have broad civility, general tolerance. active tolerance and unity within our organizations. And so I encourage you to do what the bill says to us, and that is to pass a resolution on it. Thank you. Next item, next card that I have is, I think I got this name, Branson Brinton. Did I get that right? Come on up, sir. Same rules, name and address, and go ahead. All right, Branson, Brinton, 12730 South, 1300 East. What I wanted to discuss isn't so important as the religious freedom topic or the firefighters who have committed to serve our community, but is still of great interest to a lot of people here in Draper. And that is that we don't have an indoor tennis facility. So folks that play tennis here in Draper have outdoor facilities readily available. during the nice weather days. But when the weather turns, they're forced to travel to surrounding communities, spending 40 to 60 minutes kind of in round trip travel to play tennis. And so the challenge has been in having or in building a facility has been the cost. And so you should have an email in your inbox OUTLINING KIND OF SOME TERMS OF A PROPOSAL TO TO UTILIZE SOME OF THE THE CITY'S CURRENTLY UNUTILIZED LAND FOR A TEMPORARY INDOOR TENNIS FACILITY WITH THE INTENT THAT OVER TIME WE'D BE ABLE TO PUT TOGETHER ADDITIONAL SUPPORT ADDITIONAL FUNDS AND BUILD A PROPER A PROPER PERMANENT FACILITY AT A LATER DATE THANK YOU THANK YOU SIR IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A General public comment to the council. All right, seeing no further public comment, we'll move on to item number five. Item number 5A is approval of the October 21st, 2025 city council meeting minutes. Item 5B is approval of resolution number 25-60. It's a resolution of the city council appointing Jason Wiggins as a member of the Draper City Parks Trails and Recreation Committee. Item 5C is approval of resolution 2561, it's resolution appointing Gentry White as a member of the Draper City Tree Committee. 5D is approval of resolution 2562. It's a resolution appointing me, Troy Walker, as Draper City's designated representative to the Board of Trustees of the Jordan Basin Improvement District. And 5E is approval of resolution 2563, resolution of the council accepting a quitclaim deed from Triple S Investment Company, LLC. Item 5F is approval resolution 2564. It's a resolution of the council adopting the official Draper City brand and style guide. Mr. Mayor. Go ahead. I move we approve consent items 5A through 5F. I have a motion by Ms. Vaudrey to approve consent items 5A through 5F. Is there a second? I'll second. Second by Ms. Johnson. Any further discussion on those items? All right, hearing none, Ms. Farger, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Mr. Green? Yes. Ms. Lowry? Yes. All right, that's everyone. Evening items five to zero on the consent items. Item six is next, and this is items for council consideration. This starts our public hearing times. 6A is a public hearing of the South Valley Mosquito Abatement District proposed tax increase. And you might be wondering why we're having that. HERE IN DRAPER CITY HALL, BUT WE ARE REQUIRED BY LAW THAT SINCE THEY'RE IN OUR AREA FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO MAKE PRESENTATION TO YOU. SO I'M GOING TO TURN THE TIME OVER. IT LOOKS LIKE BRAD GILSON AND DAN MCBRIDE. BRAD, ARE YOU TALKING? GO AHEAD, SIR. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS SLASH NEIGHBORS. I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE DAN. HE'LL EXPLAIN THIS. DAN'S BEEN WITH THE MOSQUITO BATEMENT DISTRICT FOR 10 YEARS. He's been the district manager for two years, and he runs a very efficient ship, and I'll let him do the heavy hitting here. Welcome, Dan. I appreciate it. Thank you, Mayor and Council, for letting me come. I am coming on behalf, as the Mayor was just talking about, for Utah Code 17B-103, and that is the requirement that as an entity that works within your city, that we come and report on our intent to hold a truth in taxation PUBLIC HEARING, AND IN THIS EXAMPLE WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IT ON DECEMBER 8TH. FOR THOSE WHO ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH US, AND I KNOW THAT WE ARE KIND OF A LITTLE NICHE ORGANIZATION, THE SOUTH SALT LAKE VALLEY MOSQUITO ABATEMENT DISTRICT IS A SPECIAL DISTRICT WHOSE PRIMARY TASK IS THE ABATEMENT AND CONTROL AND ALSO THE DISEASE RESEARCH FOR MOSQUITO-BORN DISEASES. So we do a lot with West Nile virus. We do a lot with St. Louis encephalitis, two of the main kind of primary concerns here within the state of Utah when it comes to mosquito-borne diseases. We also do abatement. Many people will probably recognize us if you spent any time down at the Sun Kahani. A lot of my people work down there. We also do a lot over in Maroban around the Sunset Ponds area. But we also have a lot of crews that are just working on the streets. They're delivering mosquito fish to residents of Draper. They're going into people's backyards and they're trying to mitigate the risk of West Nile virus. We this year are seeking a tax increase of what is going to amount to about $320,000, which brings our total property tax revenue to $1.42 million for the 2026 calendar year. Just for context, that is an increase of about 77 cents a year on the average $600,000 home. A lot of that is going to just be doing cost stabilization of essential services, just like everybody else were kind of affected by, you know. THE WORLD AND PRICE INCREASES AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT IS GOING ON. WE'RE ALSO DOING SOME OPERATIONAL ENHANCEMENTS OR WISH TO DO SOME OPERATIONAL ENHANCEMENTS, SPECIFICALLY KIND OF UPDATING OUR CONTROL MEASURES. WE ARE A COUPLE YEARS BEHIND SOME OF THE NEWEST TECHNOLOGY THAT IS OUT THERE AND WE WANT TO KIND OF BRING OURSELVES BACK UP. AND THEN IT'S JUST KIND OF REPLENISHING OUR CAPITAL BUDGET SAVINGS. WE OPERATE OUT OF A BUILDING THAT IS NOW ABOUT 20 YEARS OLD. And just like all buildings, it kind of requires a little bit more upkeep. And so it requires us to keep those funds available for that upkeep. I am available for questions and happy to answer any before turning it over to the public. Have you noticed an increase in West Nile rates? Unfortunately, yes. And that's not just in our district, that is nationwide. We are seeing a pretty significant increase in West Nile virus rates. on a national level. This year in the state of Utah, we saw an increase that was, to be completely frank, kind of frightening. We went from averaging roughly about one to two human cases to this past year we had over 40. We had several people that passed away. And it is a concerning thing. Biologists and someone who kind of studies trends, we could just be on a natural high year. That does seem to happen a lot with infectious disease and with vector-borne diseases. However, it's something that we're very cognizant of, and it is something that we are constantly monitoring. Do you have data with you this evening on how many cases have been found in Draper? In Draper, human cases, I do not. We deal mostly with mosquitoes. positive cases. I will tell you in Draper this past year, I think we had roughly about 70 individual traps that came back positive for West Nile. A lot of that is along the river. A lot of that is around kind of the Soon Kahani Jordan River Corridor from 114th down to Bangor in Draper. That being said, we have found some in other places. And the hard part with West Nile virus is a lot of times The information that we find in our traps don't necessarily correlate to the human information. Mosquitoes travel huge distances, and so we have to kind of catch what we can and do what we can there. Do you find higher incidence of West Nile virus or the other disease you were mentioning along the canals? No, not really. A lot of times, especially with the canals, the canals have enough of a flow rate that we don't see a lot of what we consider mosquito production, things coming from larvae out to adults. One thing we do notice with canals, especially canals that are closer to the Great Salt Lake, is mosquitoes use them as a kind of highway system. But by the time it kind of trickles down to this part of the valley, we don't see as many. Thank you. How far can a mosquito travel? We have roughly 28 different species of mosquitoes here in the valley. Two of those species If you get bit by one of them in your backyard, there's a very good chance they probably came from the Great Salt Lake. So the top mileage we found is about 50 miles, which is pretty significant. And you are killing them. That is your main job. That is part of the job. We try to get rid of them, yeah. We're not in extermination services, so it's never going to be a point where we get rid of all of them. But we do try to control the disease carriers specifically to try to mitigate the risk to the population. Any other questions? Anything else? Nothing for me. Thank you, sir. This is a public hearing. Is there anyone from the public that would like to address the council on the South Valley Mosquito Obeyment District proposed tax increase? All right. Seeing no takers, we'll close with public comment. And I'm assuming that's all you needed was a public hearing. Thank you, gentlemen, for coming. Appreciate your work. Kill as many of them as you can. Thank you. Next item, 6B, it's a public hearing regarding the providing of local consent for a limited service restaurant license for the Little Thai Kitchen LLC. We'll have Travis give us a report. Go ahead, sir. Okay, so limited service restaurant license for Little Thai Kitchen. Here's the overview. It's on 123rd Draper Peak. So they want a limited service restaurant and that allows restaurants to store, sell, serve wine, beer, heavy beer alongside a food purchase. And here are the distance requirements. So community locations, which are schools, churches, public libraries, public playgrounds and parks have to be at least 300 feet away, measured by shortest pedestrian route. And they have to be at least 200 feet away, measured by the straight line from the entrance of the restaurant. So here's the 300 foot shortest pedestrian route. It is very, very far away. More than 3000 feet to that park, so they meet that standard. And then obviously the straight line measurement. There is no community location anywhere near that, so that standards met. Now the action is to provide local consent or deny local consent in our code says we can't put any limit. on the number of limited service restaurant license we can grant. Any questions for Travis? All right, thank you, Travis. Is the applicant here? Not seeing him, okay. This is a public hearing. Item 6B, the providing of local consent for a limited service restaurant license for Little Tide Kitchen LLC. Anyone from the public would like to address the council on this item? All right, seeing none, we'll close the public hearing and bring this back to the council. Mr. Mayor. Go ahead, sir. I make a motion that we approve item 6B, providing local consent for a limited service restaurant license for Little Thai Kitchen, LLC. I motion by Mr. Lowry to approve. Item 6B, is there a second? I'll second. Second by Mr. Green. Any further discussion? All right, seeing none, Mr. Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Mr. Green? Yes. Ms. Lowry? Ms. Vaudrey? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. Items approved unanimously, five to zero. Takes us to item 6C. It's also a public hearing. Resolution 2565. It's a resolution amending the adopted budget of Draper City for fiscal year 2025-2026. Mr. Veik, go ahead, sir. This is a really... SHORT BUDGET AMENDMENT. THERE ARE THREE ITEMS FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT WE ARE GOING TO ADDRESS TONIGHT. THE FIRST AND REALLY PROBABLY THE MOST PRESSING IS THAT WE RECEIVED A GRANT. ACTUALLY RECEIVED TWO GRANTS. THE FIRST GRANT WAS FROM THE STATE OF UTAH DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, THE DIVISION OF FORESTRY AND FIRE SERVICE. THAT GRANT IS FOR $119,000. THE GRANT REQUIRES SOME IN-KIND SERVICES TO MATCH, AND THE SECOND GRANT IS A $10,000 MATCH. BOTH OF THESE ARE FOR FUELS MITIGATION, AND SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET SOME GRANT, TRYING TO GET THE FUNDING. SO WHAT WE WILL DO IN THE BUDGET AMENDMENT TONIGHT IS TO RECOGNIZE THE GRANT REVENUE, AS WELL AS TO SET UP SOME COSTS SO THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAN USE THAT TO take care of the supplies they need to do the mitigation. So that's item 26-10. 26-11 is the fire department has some stretchers that they use. We have a maintenance agreement on those stretchers. The maintenance agreement is a three-year agreement for $29,133. This year there's a $9,700 amount that they are requesting funding for within their current budget. And then lastly, we are set to get a new fire engine in May. As we get that engine, it comes without equipment. And so we need to be able to put some of the equipment on there. This amendment is written for $22,100, which is the cost to put on the fire hose nozzles and other equipment. But there is also a need for some additional equipment As I've talked with Chief Smith, that's probably about another $30,000. So tonight we're bringing 22-1. I would suggest that in order to get the fire equipment and everything done, we really need $52,100. So if you see fit to do that, I would say just make a motion to amend this to $52,100. So that additional equipment is... Additional hose. And other items that are going to go on to the equipment. Yeah, this new apparatus that we will receive next year will be in addition to our existing fleet, so we will not be pulling anything off of our existing engine, so we will need to completely outfit it and the total to do that will be just again that 51,000 or excuse me, 52,100 and that is for all of the small hand tools, hoses, nozzles, all of the equipment needed. Can we pull that from the general fund? Yes, it'll come from the general fund fund balance. And that balance is what? As of the end of last fiscal year, we sat at 34.6%. The state maximum is 35%. The auditors here, he'll come up and tell you that exact number. Is that it? So that is everything on this budget amendment, correct. All right, any questions for John? All right, thank you, John. All right, this is a public hearing. Item 6C on our agenda, Resolution 2565, amending the adopted budget of Draper City for fiscal year 2526. Anyone from the public like to address the council on this item? All right, seeing none, we'll close public hearing, bring it back to the council. Mr. Mayor, I would like to approve Resolution 25-66 with the inclusion of the $52,100 for the fire apparatus. All right, we have a motion by Ms. Leier to approve Resolution 25-56, adding additional $30,000 to the outfitting cost of said fire apparatus. Is there a second? I'll second. Second by Mr. Green. Any further discussion? All right. Seeing none, Ms. Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Mr. Green? Yes. Ms. Faudrey? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Johnson? Yes. Items approved unanimously, five to zero. Takes us to item 6D, the public hearings, ordinance number 1683. It's an ordinance amending the official zoning map of Draper City for approximately 1.31 acres of property located at 1360 East, 13200 South, and .97 acres of property located at 132, 39 South, 1300 East, known as the Plummer Zoning Map Amendment. We'll have a staff report by Nick Whitaker. Nick, go ahead, sir. Thank you. So yes, this is the Plummer Zoning Map Amendment. Here's a vicinity map of the property. The property here is in the center. An aerial map of the property. A LAND USE MAP AND THE LAND USE OF THIS PROPERTY IS OR SUBJECT PROPERTY IS IT'S TWO PROPERTIES HERE AND HERE. BUT THE LAND USE IS RESIDENTIAL LOW MEDIUM DENSITY. AND THE ZONING MAP SHOWS THAT THE ZONING CURRENT ZONING IS RA1. THE APPLICANT WISHES TO AMEND I'M SORRY, THE APPLICANT WISHES TO CHANGE THE ZONING DESIGNATION FROM RA1 TO RA2 ON BOTH PROPERTIES. RA1 OF COURSE IS 40,000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM LOT. RA2 IS A 20,000 SQUARE FOOT MINIMUM LOT. THEY DESIRE TO SUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY INTO I BELIEVE THREE PROPERTIES. It is a compatible land use. Going from RA1 to RA2, RA2 is compatible. The overview of the request, of course, it is a 40,000-square-foot minimum lot size, changing that to a 20,000-square-foot minimum lot size. The description of the zone is actually identical. RA1 and RA2 have the same description. Here's a site photo. the 1360 East, 13200 South side, and the other property that's on 13239 South, 1300 East. To go before the Planning Commission on November 13th and receive a positive recommendation. And that is my presentation. Any questions for Nick? I do have a question. I just am curious because it's too... lots, parcels that kind of intersect like in an L, how the configuration of the three homes might, the three lots might look. Because it looks like there's, they could access perhaps one from Victor Lane, if that's what they are going to do. To answer that, I would recommend speaking with the applicant who is here tonight. They may be able to give you some more details on the design of the of the plan subdivision, but they have not yet submitted an application for that. Okay. Any other questions? All right, thank you, Nick. Are the applicants, are they here? You can address the council now or you can wait until after public comment or however you want. Your call. All right, come on, give us your name and address. We'll be glad to hear from you. Burke Plummer, currently residing at 1325- Would you, I'm sorry, would you grab that mic, say that again a little bit clearer? Yeah. Name's Burke Plummer. Okay. Address 13258 Nashie Lane in Draper. Okay, go ahead. And I own both pieces of the property. This is Francine Contreras from Benchmark Engineering, who's done the plat for the three lots we talked about. And she can share that with you if you want to see the actual plat we had, or we want to assume. We're trying to make three lots out of two. We, there's two homes, the one on 1360 East and the one on 132 Seconds South, but half acre lots in there. And there's another acre lot and a half that we want to build ourselves on. So it would make two half acre lots and a little bit larger lot for a third kind of L-shaped lot that we would build on. All right. Council members, any questions for applicant? So are you keeping the one home that is on 13th East? Yes, the white home will stay there for now. And you mentioned Victor Lane. We hope to have an access to that lot possibly. It does access from 1300 right now. We have the right, if the Draper City approved it, to access it from the other side in the future. Okay, thank you. Any other questions? Why is the current existing zoning not sufficient? It's an acre, so they just wouldn't fit. I mean, we need more space for... I mean, the current... Move a little closer to that mic, if you will. The current lot on 1360 East is an acre, 1.4 acres, and has a couple of barns on it, plus a wood home. And so we'd have to... For us to build on that lot, we would have to... tear down that home, which we don't want to do. It's still functional and something we want to keep. So we have to make a new lot to be able to build on that lot. We currently don't use a ride on that lot. It's a personal use property. So am I answering your question? Yeah. We currently live just, this is our backyard basically from Akagi Farms across the trail. And we want to build a home We've owned the property for 13, 14 years, but it's kind of always been in our plan to build there one day. Any other questions? I have a question, Mayor, real quick. I guess the idea is to combine these two parcels together as RA2, correct? Yeah. So we'll make three lots out of two. And the fact that there's an existing home, I think that overcomes the presumption that you want to keep the existing home. All right. Any other questions for the applicant? All right, sir, we'll give you the last word after the public hearing if need be. All right, this is a public hearing. It's ordinance number 1683, amending the official zoning map of Draper City for 1.31 acres of property. located at 1360 East, 13200 South, 0.97 acres of property located at 13239 South, 1300 East. It's known as the plumber zoning map amendment. Anyone from the public like to address the council on this item? All right, seeing no public comment, we'll close the public comment period and bring it back to the council. Mr. Mayor. Go ahead. I move we adopt ordinance number 1683. Motion by Ms. Faudrey to adopt Ordinance 1683. Is there a second? I'll second. Second by Ms. Lowry to adopt it. Is there any further discussion? Hearing no, Ms. Faudrey, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Lowry? Yes. Mr. Green? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. Items approved unanimously five to zero. Takes us to item number 6E, which is also a public hearing. It's Ordinance 1684 and Ordinance 1685. It's an ordinance amending the official land use map and an ordinance amending the official zoning map of Draper City for approximately 0.89 acres of property located 1394 East, 12900 South, known as the Fetzer Land Use Map and Zoning Map Amendments. Staff report by Nick Whitaker. Nick, go ahead, sir. Thank you. Yes, again, this is the Fetzer Land Use and Zoning Map Amendment request. The subject property is here in the center. Here's an aerial map of the subject property. Land use map. The current land use is residential low-medium density. And a zoning map. The current zoning is RA2, which allows for a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. The applicant is proposing to amend the land use map from low-medium density to medium density. The reason for changing the request to change the land use is to allow for an amendment to the zoning. The applicant would like to change the current zoning, which is RA2, Again, that's 20,000 square foot minimum lot size to R3, which is a 13,000 square foot minimum lot size. As an overview, again, the RA2, residential agricultural, is a 20,000 square foot minimum lot size. R3 is a 13,000 square foot minimum lot size. The summary of... Well, the R3 zoning would allow for the creation of one additional lot, as illustrated here. Again, a single-family residential lot has a minimum in the R3 zone of 13,000 square feet. The purpose of the request is to allow the applicant to age in place. The request is consistent with HN4 of the Draper City Master Plan, which is to provide a wide range of housing for different life stages and income levels and support the development of a full range of housing for seniors to age in place. The Planning Commission heard this item on the 13th of November and provided a positive recommendation. Here is a picture of the subject property. And that is my presentation. Questions for Nick? I have a question, Nick. If this is changed to an RA3, what is the possibility of that becoming, having three units on that property? So the current property, the size of it is .89 acres, which is approximately... 38,768 square feet. The most it can get right now would be two. Is there any other adjustments in any of the boundaries that could allow that to have three? If they were to increase the lot size, that could be an option. However, that would require, of course, purchasing more land from neighboring properties. I guess my question is, is any of the adjacent properties, would that make them non-conforming then, though? No. So let me look at the zoning map here. The adjacent properties would remain RA2. Across the street, you have RA3. It would just be, this property here would be R3. And if they were to do a subdivision, you'd have... two properties then that would be R3. And with that lot size, you wouldn't be able to get more than two lots with R3. Okay. Thank you. Any other questions for Nick? All right. Thank you, Nick. I'm going to have you back. Is the applicant here? Would you like to address the council? Come on up, sir. Give us your name and address. Try and talk right into that mic if you could. My name is Robert Fetzer. My wife Debbie and I own the home and property at 1394 East, 129 South. We've lived here 20 years. We love our home, our neighborhood, our neighbors very much. And we want to remain in our home as long as we can. and age in place. Before the maintenance of our home and property becomes too difficult for us, we want to secure our future to our best advantage. So we are requesting a MAP amendment and the rezoning of our property from R2 to R3 to give ourselves the option of subdividing. WE HAVE INVESTED SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS IN SEEKING TO BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PRIVILEGE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. HANG ON JUST ONE SECOND. ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT, COUNCILMEMBER? YEAH, THE SAME QUESTION I ASK EVERYONE. WHY IS THE EXISTING ZONING NOT PROPER? I'M SORRY, I COULDN'T HEAR YOU. WHY IS THE EXISTING ZONING NOT PROPER? WHAT FACT SAYS THAT THE CURRENT ZONING IS PRESUMED TO BE SO IN ORDER TO OVERCOME THAT PRESUMPTION, I NEED SOME TYPE OF FACT AS TO WHY WE WOULD CHANGE THAT. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT IS NOT THAT THE ZONING IS NOT PROPER. IT'S JUST THAT WE HAVE AS A FAMILY DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY daughter or a member of the family might at some point purchase the subdivided lot on 129 south and then provide nurture and care by maintaining the property for us when we reach that that stage of life where we can no longer do that adequately and also TO LOOK AFTER OUR PERSONAL NEEDS. SO THAT IS SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WE MAY HAVE YOU BACK UP IF WE NEED TO, BUT THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IT'S ORDINANCE NUMBER 1684 AND 1685. IS THERE ANYBODY FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNSEL ON THIS ITEM? Come on up. Give us your name and address. Good evening, council. My name is Ryan Swap. I live at 1388 East, 129 South. It's the property that's just below the red outlined properties where I live. My main concern with this property, I outlined in an email that I had sent to all of you, is primarily that this property is just a few hundred square feet short of If it's zoned to R3 with 13,000 minimum lots, all that would be needed is a few hundred square feet extra to be able to put three lots on that lane or a minor variance. And with the nature and character of that lane, it would effectively just change and destroy basically what my wife and I hoped to purchase when we moved there. If you, I think there were some photos of the lane itself, but it's a single direction lane. It's not capable of supporting more than the existing homes that are there. And an additional concern that I have is that it's what I believe would constitute spot zoning. All the properties south of 129 South are zoned as RA1 or RA2. And with the exception of a couple homes across the street in an area that is designed for smaller lots and is appropriate for R3, everything else is designed for RA2 and RA1. So I believe it would be inconsistent with the general plan to move this from RA2 to R3. So anyways, thank you. Thank you, sir. Anyone else? Come on up. Thank you, Council. Sean Steinman, 3560 East, Kings Coast Circle. So I typically really love projects like this. However, my concern with this project is this is a private lane that is currently servicing two homes. IN WHICH THESE TWO HOMES BEING SERVICED, THEY HAVE A HANDSHAKE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT ON HOW TO MAINTAIN THE LANE, AND IF THIS WERE TO BE APPROVED, IF THIS HOME AND THIS SUBDIVISION SELLS, IT COULD POTENTIALLY TURN INTO THREE LOTS IN WHICH NOW THERE'S GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL CONSTRAINTS, AND THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE MAINTAINED BY THE CITY, BUT THIS IS A PRIVATE LANE. SO SNOW REMOVAL AND ALL OF THE WORK DONE ON THIS LANE WOULD BE RAISING CONCERN. AND I THINK THAT DENSITY HAS ITS PLACE, AND I THINK DENSITY HAS ITS PLACE WITHIN DRAPER CITY'S REGULATIONS AS WELL AS THEIR ZONING, AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT MAKING AND CHANGING THE INTEGRITY OF A PRIVATE LANE ON A FLAG LOT IS THE PLACE TO ADD DENSITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT AFFECTS FAMILIES AND THE LIFE AND SAFETY OF FAMILIES AND ADDING THE ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC. THIS IS A TIGHT LANE RIGHT NOW, AND IF THE REMOTE POSSIBILITY of adding three additional residences here is even possible. The life and safety of the family in the back, as well as all of those families that would live in that space, could definitely be at risk. On top of that, you start looking at just the precedent that it would set within your city. Flag lots, there's a lot of flag lots like this, and if you do start setting this precedent, you're going to have major issues into the future That could definitely result into concerns for other residents and having to come and fight these types of things. I believe right now, based on what the current applicants' requests are, it can be accomplished today by just by-right zoning. And that has to do with the ADU clause. And currently, and what I have talked to the planner on with this property, all of the lots would have to face that private lane. SO THEY'RE NOT EVEN GOING TO BE FACING 129 SOUTH. HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT TODAY COULD BUILD ANOTHER HOME ON THEIR LOT AS AN ADU AND WOULD BE ABLE TO AGE IN PLACE AND BE ABLE TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. SO I THINK THAT BY CHANGING THE ZONING, WE DON'T KNOW WHOSE HANDS THAT THIS PROPERTY WOULD BE IN IN THE NEXT 25 YEARS AND THEY DECIDE TO CHANGE IT TO THREE SEPARATE LOTS OR MAYBE BUY EVEN MORE PROPERTIES AND TRY TO CHANGE IT IN A DIFFERENT COUNCIL IN A DIFFERENT SPACE. it could definitely risk the integrity of this neighborhood and this space. And I think there's going to be a lot that can be accomplished just by putting an ADU here and allowing that family to, you know, live and age in place appropriately, and I think that would be a great route. So those are my thoughts on this, and thank you so much for your time. Thank you. Anyone else like to address the council on this item? All right, seeing no... Further public comment. We'll close the public hearing. Bring this back to the council. Mr. Mayor, I've got a question for Mr. Fetzer first. The applicant? The applicant, yeah. Sir, come on up to the microphone again if you would. Would you be opposed to a development agreement that just be two lots if it was to approve an RA3 so that there would only be two lots on that property? It might be a hard question to ask him right now without having a chance to sit down with it. You're only putting two houses on your property. You would only be able to keep your current house and add a second house. So it would be akin to switching you to the R2 zoning, half-acre lot zoning, for which you don't have quite enough land. But under a development agreement, we could offer something like that. If I might add something. Sorry. Hold on. Hold on. Staff. Whoa. Everybody take a break here for a second. Okay, we're out of order. Your question is you guys want to know if they'll do a development agreement. Okay, that's not really in front of us. May I? Go ahead, sir. I just need it. to have an understanding with my wife. You can understand that I didn't want to make a comment or make a pronouncement without that input. You know what? It has not ever been our intent to do more than create a two lot situation here. We would not wish for it to be subdivided into anything smaller than just the two lot arrangement. That's why I asked, Mayor, by the development agreement, it then allows you to have just the two lots, but then you have to change that zoning to RA3 to make it conform. And that's just my request. Then it helps you fulfill that intent. Nick, come back up. Go ahead. Do we want to continue this to discuss that? It's up to you guys. I'm going to make a motion to do it. So the reason why he's requesting R3, at least with what has been submitted, is because the lot size would not allow for subdividing the property into two lots. the next zoning type or the closest zoning designation available is an R3. If there was .11 acres on that lot, they would have enough to just, you know, just cut it right in half and be with the RA2 zoning. I mean, adding the... or changing it to R3, I think it would be the most straightforward way of creating a two-lot subdivision, um, uh, based upon the available zoning designations that we have in our menu of options in our code. Um, and, uh, it would also allow you to access one of those properties from 129th. You wouldn't have to use the, um, private lane. So we keep the existing zoning in our development agreement for two properties, right? even though it doesn't meet the conforming of the zone. I'd like to just clarify something. Nick, can you go back to the image that showed the potential lot or the aerial that you had? So the subdivision code... does not, the zoning code does not allow for the private lanes and driveway easements to count towards your minimum lot size. So if you're looking at the overall acreage of that property, three lots would be very tight. But when you take out the acreage that the access lane encompasses, there's no way to get three lots on that property with that R3 zone. but what about if you acquired other space adjacent to that property? That would always be a possibility. You know, I can't say that would never happen. They'd have to rezone that section that they purchase. The homes on either side are pretty close to that property line though, so it doesn't look like they have much land to give. I don't know. To me, maybe we continue this? You can make a motion, Mr. Lauer, if you want to continue it. You guys have the power. What I'm hearing from Jen is that even if we were to give the R3, there's no possibility of it splitting into three. Is that correct, Jen? Correct. So if that's the concern, it's kind of addressed. Even if they tear down both houses? Yeah. There's also access on 129, which resolves the private lane problem. Right. If that's a problem. I'll give the benefit to the landowner on this one. I'm fine with third acres. I'm fine with R3. I'll give the benefit to the landowner because I think Jennifer has mitigated the risk concern I've had. So is your motion then to approve Ordinance 1684 and 1685? Mr. Mayor, I'll move to approve it. All right. I'll just make the decision and we'll see where the council goes. All right. Motion by Mr. Green to approve Ordinance 1684 and 1685. Is there a second? I'll second. Second by Ms. Vaudrey. Okay. Any further discussion on it? Mr. Green, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Vaudrey? Yes. Ms. Lowry? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. The item is approved unanimously 5-0. It takes us to item number 7, which moves us into action. Item 7A is the first one. It's approval of Resolution 2566, the resolution of accepting the City of Draper Audit and Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, the ACFR for fiscal year ending June 30th, 2025. Mr. Veik, go ahead, sir. I'm gonna come up and turn the mic over to our auditor who is here with us from HBME. So, Rob. Thanks, John. Pleasure to be with you, Mr. Mayor, Council. We appreciate the opportunity to provide these services to the city each and every year. We've worked hard. We've completed the fiscal year 25. FINANCIAL AUDIT AS REQUIRED BY THE STATE OF UTAH, AND HAPPY TO GIVE YOU THAT REPORT TONIGHT. IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT, WE'LL JUST START WITH OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT, THE REASON THAT PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT THE AUDIT. AFTER WE'VE AUDITED THE GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES, THE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES, EACH OF THE MAJOR FUNDS, AND THE AGGREGATE REMAINING FUND INFORMATION FOR THE CITY, WE FIND THAT YOU ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND WE DON'T FEEL THERE'S ANY MATERIAL MISSTATEMENTS. WE DID HAVE SEVERAL ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE MADE WITH THE CITY. ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE FOUND, MANAGEMENT AGREED TO RECORD AND HAVE PRESENTED IN THESE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS SUCH. SO THAT IS BASICALLY THE BEST OPINION I AS AN INDEPENDENT AUDITOR CAN GIVE YOUR ORGANIZATION. MAYBE FOR SOME CLARIFICATION ON SOME INFORMATION. The financial statements in their entirety are extensive. They're long. There's a lot of information contained therein. The management discussion and analysis is prepared by management, and this is one of the only places that you will find a comparison information between what happened in the current year for 2025 and what happened in the previous year. So as you can see from our governmental activity standpoint, which is all our governmental funds, general fund included, Total assets has remained about the same between the two fiscal years. Same with long-term liabilities. They're relatively not much of a change. There is a decrease in the long-term and total liabilities overall. If you look towards the bottom on total net position, net position has increased by about $4 million this past year. In your business activities, you've also seen an increase in total net position going from 95.7 to 98.7 million dollars. If you want to see how that got there between the two years, here is a snapshot of what you can maybe refer out in the public sector as an income statement. Revenues for governmental activities were at $68.7 million compared to expenses down below a $60.9 million. And then after you had your transfers in and out, net of $4.2 million, they ended the year with a $4.2 million increase. In 24, that was a $3.3 million increase. YOUR BUSINESS TYPE ACTIVITIES. WE DON'T NEED TO ASK AI FOR ASSISTANCE THERE. THEY ACTUALLY HAD AN INCREASE OF $3 MILLION THIS YEAR AND A NEARLY BREAK EVEN IN FISCAL YEAR 24. SO OVERALL THE CITY HAS GOOD FINANCIAL HEALTH WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FUNDS IN THEIR ENTIRETY. NOW MAYBE MORE SPECIFIC TO WHAT YOU GUYS DO AS A COUNCIL AND WHAT YOU HEAR MORE LIKE JOHN PRESENTED TONIGHT ON SOME BUDGET AMENDMENTS FOR THE GENERAL FUND. Here's the fact. Actually, I'll back up first because one of the points that was brought up is your general fund balance, and John mentioned this percentage. One of the things that the state looks at, they want to know when you put your committed, your assigned, and your unassigned. For you as a city, the only thing you have in your general fund is unassigned fund balance. They want you to compare that $18.9 million number. We'll just bring it up. to your total revenues for the general fund at this $54.8 million. That represents a 34.62% unassigned committed and unassigned fund balance compared to the state law. State law lets you have that between 5% at minimum to 35% maximum. Anything above 35% would technically be a state compliance finding. So the city has got a strong, basically a strong, healthy position. If we were to look at the governmental funds just real quickly, you look going across the bottom on your fund balances, you have $41 million in the general fund, about $19 million of that is unassigned, $15 million in the capital project fund. Your RDA fund has $21 million and your other non-major governmental funds, which include your impact fees, your debt service fund, The Traverse Ridge Special Service District is a blended component unit in your organization, all total up to $11 million. So overall, your governmental funds have a healthy balance. If we flip the script and go down a few more pages to your proprietary funds and look at the same thing on total net position, that bottom row indicates all of your proprietary funds have a positive fund balance and are operating within their means. I will point out the ambulance fund They do show a $2.7 million, but they are heavily subsidized because they just don't collect enough fees to offset the costs in that fund, even though they are counted as a proprietary fund. Overall, if you were to look at your income statement for your proprietary funds, bottom line change in net position, positive across all the board, except for the solid waste. And that's mainly due to projects and repair and maintenance stuff that happens throughout the city. And those are more set fees, not based on a set user fee charge rather than a rate that goes out. Maybe I'd ask, does the council have any questions or information that they would like to hear rather than me just going over some numbers and so forth? I think I'm good. I think I'm satisfied with the report. I'LL JUMP RIGHT TO THE END. WE GIVE TWO MORE REPORTS AT THE VERY END. ON PAGE 131 OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT, IT'S A REPORT ON YOUR COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL AUDITING STANDARDS AND ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. HAPPY AT YOUR REPORT. WE DIDN'T FIND ANY DISCREPANCIES IN THE CITY'S POLICIES AND PROCEDURES, THE SEGREGATION OF DUTIES AND YOUR BEST EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN COMPLIANCE WITH GRANTS, AGREEMENTS AND SO FORTH. So it's not an opinion, but we didn't find any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies, control deficiencies that we need to report to you as a body. The final report is required by the state auditor's office. They break their stuff into two sections. There's stuff we have to test every year, such as budget amendments that was printed tonight, the adoption of a budget, and making sure that management is complying with what you set as final budget. So that increase he's looking at tonight for $51,000. that goes in and we make sure that the city doesn't spend more than what you approve for appropriation. I'm happy to report that each of your governmental funds and even the proprietary funds that are not in these financial statements from a budget perspective were under budget. So they stayed within the appropriations that you as a body set. We also look at stuff, the fund balance percentage are below 35%, enrollment in URS, recording of minutes publishing those on a state website that's done by the recorder and so forth. So happy to report all this stuff that we tested this year, no findings at the city. So you've got a clean opinion from us on that one as well. So congratulations. Is that it? That's it. Any questions? Thank you, sir. Thank you. All right, entertain a motion to approve resolution 2566. Mr. Mayor, I'd like to approve. 2566. Motion by Ms. Lowry to approve. Is there a second? I'll second. Second by Mr. Green. Any further discussion on item 7A? Ms. Lowry, how do you vote? Yes. Mr. Green? Yes. Ms. Vaudrey? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Items approved unanimously 5-0. Item 7B is next. It's a motion it would be to approve resolution 2567, a resolution of Draper City Council acting as municipal board of canvassers, declaring the results of the November 4th, 2025 general municipal election. We'll have our staff from our city recorder, Nicole, go ahead. Thank you. Pursuant to Utah code 28-4-304 on the screen before you is the statement of votes cast for the 2025 municipal general election held on November 4th, 2025. There was a total of 8,281 ballots cast for Draper City, with a total turnout of about 28%. There were two seats on the ballot, one for the Office of Mayor, a four-year term, and an at-large city council seat, a two-year term. The canvas shows that Troy K. Walker received 75.35% of the vote, and Catherine Dolan received 55.61% of the vote, each representing the highest number of votes in their races. Upon adoption of the resolution before you, certifying the canvas, these results will be declared official and both candidates will be declared elected. Are there any questions? Any questions? Mr. Mayor, I make a motion we approve resolution 25-67. All right, motion by Mr. Lowry to approve resolution 25-67. Is there a second? I'll second. Second by Ms. Lowry. Any further discussion? Congratulations, yes, to both our candidates. Yes, congratulations. Catherine, you're seated in the audience. Congratulations to you. And you have all of this fun to look forward to shortly. So I hope you're enjoying it. Anyway, thank you all, and I'm glad the election's over. I'm sure everyone that ran is. right uh mr mr lowry how do you vote yes wait fred you made the motion sorry it doesn't matter mr lowry how did you vote yes miss lowry yes all right miss vaudrey yes mr green yes and miss johnson yes all right that item is approved unanimously five to zero item seven c is next it's uh it's uh the approval of ordinance number 1682 IT'S AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL AMENDING TITLE 7 AND 10 OF THE DRAPER CITY MUNICIPAL CODE REQUIRING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE SPRINKLERS UNDER THE DRAPER CITY FIRE AND CONSTRUCTION CODES. SPENCER, GO AHEAD, SIR. THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'D LIKE TO START OUT BY GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT'S DUE. JONAH PETERSON IN OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT WAS THE ONE WHO NOTICED THAT OUR CODE WAS DEFICIENT AND WORKED REALLY CAREFULLY AND CLOSELY ON THIS AMENDMENT. He's not here presenting today because he didn't want to present and asked me if I'd do it, so I said sure. So what we have here is just we're updating our fire code to be compliant with the state fire code. The way the state fire code is adopted is it has adopted the international fire code in its entirety but excluded some things out and then left it up to the various jurisdictions to adopt any appendices or appendices to the TO THEIR OWN FIRE CODE. SO THE PART THAT THEY HAD LEFT OUT WAS A PART THAT REQUIRED FIRE SPRINKLERS. UNDER THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE, FIRE SPRINKLERS ARE REQUIRED UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. THE STATE FIRE CODE SAID, WHEN THE STATE ADOPTED IT, IT SAID, WELL, WE'LL ADOPT THE INTERNATIONAL FIRE CODE, BUT WE'LL LEAVE OUT THIS PART THAT REQUIRES FIRE SPRINKLERS AND LEAVE IT UP TO THE VARIOUS JURISDICTIONS TO ADOPT THEIR OWN ORDINANCE TO SEE WHETHER TO REQUIRE FIRE SPRINKLERS UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. So we didn't have an ordinance that allowed us to require fire sprinklers under those circumstances. The adoption of this ordinance creates an opportunity for us to enforce that part of the international fire code where we do require fire sprinklers. It's under these certain circumstances that you have before you in exhibit A, and I'm sure you've all had the chance to review the code. A couple of other things that we did is we fixed some nomenclature that's in here in section A. It's the Code Council, not the Conference of Building Officials. That was an outdated term that our code was using. We fixed a grammatical error right here. Instead of and, that should have read as adopted. This part including all appendices thereto was problematic because the state code specifically left out appendices. So if we include all the appendices as adopted by the state code, we include no appendices. And our fire department wanted to include most of the appendices. So we included all the appendices that were asked for by the fire department, and then we fixed some capitalization errors here that we have in our code. And then we eliminated this part of the fire code from our building code because it was superfluous. Do you have any questions? All right. Any questions? Mr. Green. Move we approve Ordinance 1682, amending Title 7 and 10 of the Draper City Municipal Code regarding the requirement for fire sprinklers. A motion by Mr. Green. Is there a second? I'll second. Second by Ms. Vaudrey. Any further discussion? Mr. Green, how do you vote? Yes. Ms. Vaudrey? Yes. Mr. Lowry? Yes. Ms. Johnson? Yes. Item is approved unanimously. Thank you, everybody. by Ms. Lowry. Ms. Lowry felt like it wasn't all the way there. Now, Adams approved unanimously five to zero. See, I could feel that there was one off. All right, we didn't get through council manager stuff in the study meeting. Is there anybody has anything to bring up from that regard? I don't have anything, Mayor. Anybody? Oh, wait, I do have something for the street. On 138 South, right by Bangor Highway, we've got all these road work ahead signs. And there is one sticking right on the curb, if you want to, on the north side of the street on 138 South, right by the open field there before Bangor. I don't even know what road construction is going on, but it's kind of a hazard, and a lot of people have to swerve around that. And I'm just wondering, is there a way we can get that sign moved closer onto the sidewalk, or is it still needed? Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I'll take a look tomorrow and see. It probably got moved from that. Yeah, and it's kind of a problem. I think it just shifted from the Enbridge work on 300 East, so I'll take a look. If it's not necessary, we'll just pick it up and let the owner know. Yeah, I think it'd be a good way to avoid maybe some... Thank you. Anybody else? Go ahead, Mr. Smith. Just want to remind the mayor and council we have a brand new engine that we've secured in this fiscal year that we're going to be putting that into service on Thursday. So just two days from now, we have scheduled a push-in ceremony. which is tradition in the fire service when you have a new apparatus that goes into service. So we have that scheduled for Thursday at 4 p.m. up at the Suncrest Station. That's where that new engine will be housed. We're inviting the public and obviously would like to have any of the council and mayor that are available to attend and share on that day with us. Appreciate it. Thank you. Anyone else? All right. Is there a motion to adjourn? So moved. I motion by Mr. Green, second? Second. All in favor of adjournment, say aye. Aye. All right, we stand adjourned. Thank you.
