I know it's like you could hear a pin drop. 00:00:01
OK. 00:00:07
Welcome everybody. And I am going to call the Holiday City Council meeting to order on Thursday, October 3rd. And I'm going to 00:00:10
start by recognizing our Unified Police Chief who is here with us tonight, Jason Mazarin. He's the top dog of Unified Police. So 00:00:17
Chief, we're honored to have you here tonight for a special presentation. 00:00:24
And we're in a minute going to we've got, I got to get going because we got 15 or 20 people lined up to speak about Chief Thomas, 00:00:32
who just retired. So we'll be here till probably 8. 00:00:38
He won't be here, but they'll be speaking. He'll leave. 00:00:44
But anyway, we're going to we just want to recognize Chief Thomas and I just want to say personally, Chief, what an honor it's 00:00:47
been to work with you. He's retired, I think after 30 or retired yesterday, I believe after 30 years of of service to this 00:00:54
community and to UPD has been a great friend to the city of Holiday. 00:01:01
We're very sorry to see you go, but we're very happy that you get to to enjoy a well earned retirement or whatever it is you're 00:01:09
going to do when you're not doing police work now. 00:01:15
And he's graciously agreed to start with the pledge. We always start with the pledge. We're going to have Chief Thomas lead us in 00:01:21
the pledge and then we'll take it from there. Chief Hoyle will take it from there. 00:01:25
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, 00:01:36
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:01:43
Thank you. I think you have to stay there. 00:01:51
Chief, here with me for a minute. I'm going to start. I've got a couple of awards to give out tonight. 00:01:57
Start with Chief Thomas, because I know he might have to bust out of here and run up to White City City Council tonight. So I'm 00:02:04
going to just start with this. This isn't something that we normally do when somebody retires to bring another chief over here, 00:02:10
but there's there's a little special circumstance that I wanted to recognize. Randy, sorry, I'm going to get choked up on this. 00:02:15
Randy and I got hired together. 00:02:20
28 years ago here and I've, I've kind of followed him around my whole career. We started together out in West Patrol. He went to 00:02:27
the motorcycle squad. I went to the motorcycle squad there after. 00:02:32
He went to the SWAT team, I went to the SWAT team, and then, you know, at one point there was a little separation there and then 00:02:38
he went to canine and I went to Homicide and did some different things. But then he was over our dispatch center. A short time 00:02:44
later I was over our dispatch center. He became the chief in Midvale. And then about a year later, I was honored to be your chief 00:02:49
up here. But the one thing about Randy that I wanted to recognize is. 00:02:55
Throughout my career, he's always been that mentor to me. He's always been somebody that's taken me under his wing and all these 00:03:01
assignments that I've come in underneath him and supported me and he's been a really dear friend. Even though Randy, you've had a 00:03:07
lot of seniority and other assignments, I still have seniority over you at Bear Lake. So keep that. Don't let free at that, but 00:03:12
even at that when it comes to holiday here. 00:03:17
From the minute that I became your chief, he brought me up to his office and said, hey, look, Justin, here's some things that 00:03:25
you're going to want to do to really provide reports to the city. 00:03:28
Information they're going to want and it and it didn't stop there throughout the last five years as the mayor and Gina would even 00:03:32
know whenever I've been out of town and Tyler's been out of town. Randy's been the one that's taken taken the watch over holiday 00:03:38
city for you and never let things miss a beat up here. Many times throughout the years that I've been up here we've needed help 00:03:44
with search warrants additional detectives and every time I've called him is is there's been no hesitation and he sent detectives 00:03:50
from Midvale to come up and help. 00:03:56
And search warrants have been here and some of you may even recall a couple years ago we had a very large property theft case that 00:04:02
was going on with over $1,000,000 in recovered property. We had several search warrants going on simultaneously and I called Randy 00:04:07
for help and not only did he send help, but he came personally. He's always been one that's been a friend to Holiday City. He's 00:04:12
been one that I've been able to call regularly and ask for advice. We bounce ideas off each other all the time and he's going to 00:04:17
truly be missed. So with that. 00:04:22
Because of all the work and effort that he's done for us in the precinct, in the city. 00:04:28
I'm presenting him with the sorry, it makes a lot of noise. The division commander award, which is something that is a precinct 00:04:33
chief you can give out to people for special recognition that they deserve, which Randy does. Normally this pin goes on your 00:04:38
uniform, but since I wasn't able to talk him out of staying, we put it on a plaque to present to him for all of his efforts and 00:04:44
and contributions to the city of Holiday. So congratulations. 00:04:50
In addition, the mayor wanted me to give you his last one that he had, but this is. 00:05:07
25 year holiday city coin that he wanted you to have. 00:05:10
Thank you. 00:05:21
We are truly going to miss Randy here. He's one in a million. 00:05:22
You wanted to mention Yeah, real quick, and I'm going to pay you a compliment. One of the great hallmarks and characteristics of a 00:05:28
good leader is someone who talks to their colleagues and advisors. 00:05:34
And ask for advice and seeks different opinions and things like that. And Justin is a person that does that. I can't tell you how 00:05:42
many conversations I had where he says, hey, I was just talking to Randy and I was just talking to Randy. I was talking to Randy. 00:05:48
And I just want the council of mayor to know that, you know, although Chief Thomas was assigned elsewhere, he has done a lot to 00:05:54
support this city, this great city of holiday and. 00:06:00
Has been a phenomenal leader and is very well respected in the organization and has been a good friend of all of us that are here 00:06:08
and he will be missed so. 00:06:12
Thanks, Ray. Thank you. Appreciate. 00:06:17
Well, just real quick and I, I figured he had some up his sleeve. I can tell you that when he told me I will be here. Anything 00:06:21
Justin wants, he gets from me. He's certainly earned that. He is. 00:06:27
I've always admired him when, and I don't kid you, there's there's God and then there's Justin. 00:06:35
Although I've I've personally witnessed Justin swear. 00:06:43
But you've got an excellent chief. You've actually got 2 excellent chiefs here. 00:06:48
And obviously the executive. 00:06:53
Holiday is kind of my old, pretty close male stomping ground. I live in Cottonwood Heights was raised there. I love the east side 00:06:57
area. I love the culture over here and I what I really love is the UPD model where we can share with each other, you know, limited 00:07:04
resources. We can shift resources and you need help, we'll be there. I need help. Same thing so and we've, you know, Justin and I, 00:07:11
I never really tracked on how we've kind of our careers have crossed paths, but we he's always been a wingman to me and. 00:07:18
Will continue so. 00:07:26
I keep on saying I got a different, you know, different profession, but at this point, I'm not going anywhere. I'm just doing a 00:07:27
different thing. So I hope we can still have those conversations and bounce ideas off each other. And I appreciate your time. I'm 00:07:32
not going to take any more of it up. So thank you very much. I appreciate you all. 00:07:37
He said they can stick around, so we'll just have them come down out. 00:07:52
Here and taken care of here. 00:07:59
If I could have John Salnier come up here next. 00:08:02
Come on right up here, front and center, my friend. So these next two individuals that I want to recognize are no strangers to you 00:08:12
guys. 00:08:17
These two are phenomenal employees, phenomenal officers and continually go above and beyond to serve the city. And So what I want 00:08:22
to present them because of certain instances, I'll read you the certificates that are here. They receive an incentive award, which 00:08:29
not only do they get this certificate, but they get $100 incentive on their check for going above and beyond. 00:08:35
And so I'll just read you what, sorry. 00:08:42
To an area hospital as they were on scene, the child's condition improved so well that he did not even need to go by ambulance. 00:09:14
They released him to his family to go in a personal vehicle. It was later determined the child had been underwater for over 2 00:09:20
minutes. Detectives on theirs to be committed for his quick actions and helping this child begin to breathe again. 00:09:25
Detectives on there always goes above and beyond to help people in need and is and that is no different. He's an asset to the 00:09:31
Unified Police Department, the city of holiday and the community serves. He he as you know, he, he's our mental health detective 00:09:37
here. And and this is just one example of about 1000 that he does every single day of going above and beyond to help other people. 00:09:43
And so we wanted to recognize him for helping save the life of a child. Correct. Congratulations. 00:09:49
And I'll have you come back up in one second and we'll get a picture. 00:10:04
Kennedy. 00:10:08
Letter of commendation from the victim advocate in our Mill Creek precinct, and I'll just read this to you if I can. 00:10:43
That provided needed material for detectives to update and further investigate a prior incident involving these two individuals, 00:11:48
Officer Rasmussen emailed. 00:11:53
And kindness. 00:12:28
And this is just very common of her, as you know, we've recognized her several times here, but this is this is the work she does 00:12:30
also every day. She just doesn't stop. And it doesn't matter where she's at. She continually gives to serve the community. And 00:12:35
we're just very grateful to have her here in our precinct. 00:12:40
You guys might coming down and getting in a picture and we'll bring these guys up. 00:12:52
Here let's just jump a little when you do a couple rows here. 00:13:08
Thanks. 00:13:39
As always. 00:13:43
Thank you again. 00:14:08
Thanks. 00:14:09
Okay. 00:14:19
That was awesome. I'm sorry to see Randy go, but I'm happy for him too. 00:14:21
He's earned it. 00:14:25
We'll move on now to public comment this item number four on the agenda. 00:14:29
We do have one public hearing which is on a text amendment to the PO zone. So if you are here. 00:14:33
To comment on that public hearing or address the council on that public hearing, wait till we get to that public hearing. If 00:14:40
you're here to address the council, as Trudy is, on anything other than that rezone application, you do it during public comment, 00:14:46
which is now open and Trudy will show you how to do it. 00:14:52
Its name and address we asked for and then try to keep it to about 3 minutes or less. 00:15:00
Trudy from the library. October is a really exciting month at the library. The library system as a whole is doing the costume swap 00:15:05
again this year. So if you have costumes that people have outgrown or that you're not going to use anymore and would like to trade 00:15:13
them for another costume of a different size or a different kind, you can bring your costumes into our library Holiday library 00:15:20
between October 8th and 16th. And then you'll receive a token. And with a token, you can get in on October 19th. 00:15:27
At the big swap at the Viridian, if you donate a costume, you get to go in before the people who did not get to a donation in. So, 00:15:35
you know, you get first pick and it's and it's much appreciated. Many people get to, you know, trade out and costumes are kind of 00:15:40
expensive and. 00:15:45
You only get to wear them once. 00:15:51
The other thing that we're very excited about is we're having an after hours star party with the Astronomical Society on the 11th. 00:15:53
So it's going to be at 7:00 in the evening on October 11th in our parking lot. And then we'll also have some crafts and Donuts and 00:15:59
stuff like that inside. 00:16:05
It should be a lot of fun. 00:16:13
The clouds permitting. 00:16:16
The other fun things we've got going on here at the beginning of the month tomorrow, if your teen or tween hasn't signed up for 00:16:19
our spooky movie, it's an after hours Lock in at 6:30 and if you register, they can come and watch a movie and have snacks. 00:16:26
And the library I assume is very spooky after hours. 00:16:36
And then on Saturday the 5th, we are having an Are you ready to Vote event. So we've got the League of Women Voters. 00:16:40
And if you need to register, if you need to check on your registration, change your registration. If you know an 18 year old that 00:16:48
hasn't registered yet, this is a great opportunity to get it. If you have any questions at all, they are super informed and they 00:16:54
can help you find information. And of course, we have all sorts of other spooky and fun things happening for the rest of the 00:17:00
month, but there's something every day. So just come on into the library and see what you can find. 00:17:06
Do you have any questions for me? 00:17:13
Thank you. Thanks, Trudy. Good to see you as always. 00:17:17
Anybody else for public comment? 00:17:20
Sir. 00:17:23
Mayor, Councilman and women. My name is Bob Nesslin and I own a office building at 2091 Murray Holiday Road and I also reside here 00:17:29
in Holiday. 00:17:36
And I'm here before you today just with to propose something and that I read the public hearing to propose text amendment and I 00:17:45
would like the Council to consider. 00:17:50
The possibility? 00:17:56
Of making a text amendment to the PO zone. 00:17:59
And this is the perfect time because you're looking at it right now. 00:18:04
To be able to add business uses to the PO zone for. 00:18:08
Businesses that are for the opposite buildings that are long Mary Holiday Rd. 00:18:16
My building has been there forever. It was originally the Mountain Fuel building and then it was remodeled and adapted and it's 00:18:20
now 10,000 square foot office building and I haven't I'm full. I have a number of tenants that are in there and recently I just 00:18:27
found out that. 00:18:33
Like a massage therapist person or someone who does Botox or someone who does anything basically that touches somebody else is not 00:18:41
allowed in that zone. 00:18:47
Whereas it was years ago and so I've went to. 00:18:55
Meeting with Jonathan and with Carrie on September 17th and I was the only person that showed up. 00:19:02
And we talked about what I can do, and my options are to hold a neighborhood meeting and to give the neighborhood input and then 00:19:10
come before the Planning Commission, then come back before you just to get it rezoned. There are a number of buildings and I don't 00:19:18
know if you can pull. 00:19:25
That I thought that Carrie was going to be here today and she could pull that up and show you just how vast it is. There's only 00:19:32
just a few buildings along there that have gone through this rezoning thing, but if you could change it and do a text amendment. 00:19:40
Or resolution, amendment, or however the city attorney thinks you can handle that so that all of these neighbors on Murray, 500 00:19:49
feet off Murray Holiday Rd. don't have to be notified and notified and notified as all these businesses go, buildings go one at a 00:19:55
time. 00:20:02
It's it's far reaching. the US bank building needs to be rezoned because they don't allow banking in the zone. 00:20:09
OK. They've been there for a long time and I'm sure it was just an oversight. 00:20:18
But if you could just take that into consideration. 00:20:24
And see what we can do to streamline the process. 00:20:27
So that everybody is. 00:20:32
In line with what the zoning requirements are. 00:20:35
Thank you. Well, yeah, we won't get into it back and forth, but I think what you're asking is to text them in the PO zone to allow 00:20:39
uses, which should just be a application to add the uses that are felt to be appropriate and correct. 00:20:47
Oh. 00:20:58
Sorry, I misspoke. That's that is correct. 00:21:04
OK. 00:21:08
All right. Thank you. 00:21:10
Anybody else for public comment? 00:21:15
OK. There being none, I will close public comment and we'll move to item number 5. This is a public hearing on proposed text 00:21:20
amendments to allow short term rentals as a conditional use in the PO zone. 00:21:26
Before we open up the public hearing, I understand the applicant is here. 00:21:35
Yes. 00:21:39
There is a pretty large. 00:21:42
Inclusion in the packet that has the has a staff report that's been prepared that the council, the council has reviewed as well as 00:21:47
documents from the public hearing with the Planning Commission on this particular item. So we'll start with John Tier link. And 00:21:53
John, if you just want to kind of give us an overview and see if the council has any questions. And then we'll see if the 00:22:00
applicant wants to address the council and then we'll work our way into a public hearing. 00:22:06
Sure. Thanks, Mayor. 00:22:14
John Terlington, Community and Economic Development Director. Application before you tonight is a legislative request. 00:22:16
By an applicant owning property on Highland Drive in about 6400 S. 00:22:22
The request currently is to have property that's currently zoned PEO Professional office. 00:22:29
To include short term rentals. 00:22:36
There is a staff report in there that's pretty detailed, but I'll hit some high points. Primarily, this property was rezoned 00:22:39
recently from RM. 00:22:43
RM Zone is one of the couple of handful of zones in the city that does allow already short term rentals. 00:22:48
That use in 2018. 00:22:57
Removing all of the office allowed office uses in the room zone. The room zone was a mixed-use zone. 00:23:00
To create its own professional office on, the council requested staff to study that and propose a new zone, which was primarily 00:23:07
office uses. 00:23:11
And greatly expanded the number of types of businesses that can go into that zone. 00:23:16
This property is rezoned to PO. However, the STR allowance, the short term rental allowance was not something that was considered 00:23:23
to move over with that change. 00:23:28
So specifically this is being asked to be applied for one location in particular. However, a text amendment would be something 00:23:33
that would be applied to all PO zones as a use so. 00:23:39
That would have to be taken into consideration. 00:23:46
Other than that, maybe answering questions that might help get to the root of any concerns you may have or questions you might 00:23:50
have. 00:23:54
So could you speak maybe to initially when the STR what? 00:24:00
What was the do you recall the rationale at the time of the creation of the PO zone as to why the STR didn't move over from RM? 00:24:04
The directive from the council at the time in 2018 was to create a zone that was office centered. 00:24:11
Professional office centered. 00:24:19
The Planning Commission had several meetings on what types of uses uses should be allowed in that new professional office zone. 00:24:21
That type of use a residential type of use. 00:24:29
Short stay was not something that was considered to move over. Got it. 00:24:33
When we talked about this before the briefing, but. 00:24:38
I had noted that the. 00:24:43
PO zone actually does not have any residential uses, let alone short term. 00:24:46
Rental Residential. 00:24:52
The only exception being in a pud. 00:24:55
And tell me if I'm stating this correctly or incorrectly. Except for the if you have a PUD that has mixed-use. 00:24:59
But that part of the code specifically excludes short term rentals, so it seemed like there was. This was not a situation of an 00:25:05
oversight, but rather a specific. 00:25:11
The thought had gone into the exclusion as opposed to being an oversight. 00:25:17
And I don't know what that reasoning was, but it appears as I read the code that there was reasoning there as opposed to being an 00:25:24
oversight. 00:25:28
Would there be a way we could like look back and see if there's a record of what that reasoning would be? 00:25:34
Well, definitely you would have minutes from those meetings and from both Planning Commission and City Council. 00:25:41
Whether or not the. 00:25:48
That was a long time ago. It's possible that they would be happy to talk about that directly. Sure, we can. Yeah, you can take a 00:25:51
look at that for sure. 00:25:54
So long term rentals are not allowed in the PO zone. 00:25:59
They would be under the mixed-use planned unit development. They're allowed as a conditional use permit which has been approved at 00:26:03
this site. So a long term rental could so it's a live work type situation where someone could live upstairs and work in the space 00:26:10
below. That was sort of the idea that it could be allowed a short term rental was was something that wasn't necessarily included, 00:26:17
but a long term rental code. Yeah, I mean so totally different like. 00:26:24
Somebody has an apartment or a home above their office and or rents to somebody that has an office as opposed to. 00:26:32
We want to turn it into an Airbnb. 00:26:41
Yeah, essentially. 00:26:44
OK. 00:26:46
And so as I understand it that the code then requires that the. 00:26:47
There's a connection or a link between the. 00:26:52
Professional use and the person living in the long term rental not directly, but that would have been the idea is that it's sort 00:26:56
of to address even if an affordability notion. 00:27:02
That someone could live above the space that they work at. 00:27:09
And have that option available in throughout the city. 00:27:12
But requiring them to be the one that lives there and also runs the office was not something that was required. 00:27:18
And I think that's one of the reasons why it's proposed as condition. 00:27:24
All short term rental. 00:27:29
Approvals in the city or conditional approvals granted by the Planning Commission, which in this case is a land use authority. 00:27:31
So that they can assess impact, you know, based on the specific circumstances, right. Yeah. 00:27:38
And this one specifically, this is one that's just north of the Fairfield Inn, is that correct? 00:27:46
That white colonial looking. 00:27:52
OK. 00:27:58
We may call on you again, OK. 00:28:01
Did the applicant want to address the Council? 00:28:05
I'm sure. Does he get a discount free? 00:28:12
So I want to give the Council a little bit of understanding of how we got to where. 00:28:21
So I'll do my best of giving you the explanation of what the zones are and and why it is the PO is what we want. So this 00:28:26
particular piece of property is a little bit different. It's in the Highland Dr. general use plan, the Highland Dr. plan. If you 00:28:31
remember when we did the rezoning, there were some public comment the neighborhood did not want this to be commercial, which is 00:28:37
what it was supposed to be C2. 00:28:42
C2 would allow conditionally the short term rentals the. 00:28:49
The purpose of this is that for my parents to be able to live in this building for the remainder of their lives, they've taken the 00:28:56
top floor of that or the planets take the top floor of that. We're working through the building Commission, building inspectors. 00:29:02
But to move that into their apartment, they separated into two apartments so that the plans have to be two apartment there's and a 00:29:09
secondary 1 because it's bigger than what they need in the room zone. 00:29:16
The. 00:29:23
Entire building could have been turned into residential or the entire building could have been turned into commercial or remained 00:29:25
as commercial as it was. The PO zone when that was created in 2018, gave the ability to create these offices. But to have the live 00:29:31
work situation, kind of the update of the code as society has gotten to that point, has gotten to the point where we like having 00:29:37
commercial uses on the main floor, residential uses above that. 00:29:43
As for the PO zone, what seems to be have designed to have been done? 00:29:50
Is it creates this where we can have the live work under a conditional use permit that's been obtained for this particular 00:29:54
property, for any property that would want to have the conditional use of residence and even potentially the conditional use of a? 00:30:01
Short term rentals. It would be a 2 step process, just as the applicant here has undergone. It's a 2 step process. 00:30:10
What they would like is to have the permit, the short term rentals permitted here. If the council will remember or recall both 00:30:16
the, I believe it's RM and R2 zoning permit short term rentals. The CN, excuse me, the C2 permit short term rentals. PEO seems to 00:30:22
be a bit of an outlier here. 00:30:28
And we think what we're asking the council to do is to correct this as an outlier to allow the conditional use of short term 00:30:36
rentals in this PO zone, Certainly something that can be looked at on a case by case basis, but something that must be. 00:30:43
The statute of let, the council must change the text of the PO zone in order to allow it. I would like to remind the council that 00:30:52
there the Planning Commission, there's a little bit of a procedural irregularity in that although there was a negative 00:30:58
recommendation forwarded from the Planning Commission, the applicant was not given notice of the hearing. We've gone, we've 00:31:04
listened to the minutes into the audio of the hearing. There's one of the members of the Planning Commission that's very much in 00:31:10
favor and says this is what needs to happen. 00:31:16
Another member of the Planning Commission that said. Why is the applicant not here? Another member of the Planning Commission that 00:31:22
said. 00:31:26
This person came and rezoned this to PO. They're now here. They came and asked for conditional use permit. Now they're asking for 00:31:31
a short term rental. What are they doing? I think we're we ought to just vote no. We have two people on the Planning Commission, I 00:31:38
believe it was 2 that were largely against allowing the short term rentals here and allowing the short term rentals anywhere. 00:31:44
In the PIO zone, and I think that reflects somewhat of the political reality that we live in is that there are a lot of people 00:31:51
that do not want short term rentals to be anywhere I. 00:31:56
If we look at the if the Council looks at the staff report, the Council should consider three factors determining whether to 00:32:01
approve or deny the proposed amendment. The first would be whether the proposed amendment is consistent consistent with the goals, 00:32:08
objectives and policies of the cities general plan. The second would be whether the proposed amendment is harmonious with the 00:32:15
overall character of the existing development in the vicinity of the in the vicinity of the subject property. And 3rd. 00:32:22
The extent to which the proposed amendment may adversely affect abutting properties. 00:32:29
Adequacy of facilities and services intended to serve the subject property such as roadways, parks, recreational facilities, etc. 00:32:33
If we look at factor number one, I think the Highland Dr. Master plan adequately addresses this. It has an in segment C of the 00:32:42
Highland Dr. Master plan. 00:32:45
And it's primarily zoned for commercial purposes. As I noted earlier, the reason this property was rezoned to PIO as opposed to 00:32:50
the C2, which is what the master plan called for, was because the community did not want C2 specifically because they had problems 00:32:56
with the property just to the north of that strip mall. And they they were very much against having this property rezoned to the 00:33:01
the C2, which is again why the applicant wanted PL. because for their purposes, they want to live here and rent the remainder of 00:33:07
it out. They do not have. 00:33:13
Another office there, although I think the intent is that they'll run some of their businesses out of a conference room on the 00:33:19
main floor, but it's not specifically, I guess, live work as we may generally look at that. 00:33:26
The. 00:33:34
The general plan discusses incorporating the mixed-use into the primarily commercial. 00:33:36
What we're supposed to do also with the PIO is create a buffer zone between the heavy commercial and the residential. 00:33:42
Allowing short term rentals here would do exactly that. It would actually lessen the impact of the commercial because, as noted in 00:33:50
the Council report, I. 00:33:53
So the commercial is used during the day, the short term rental is used, nobody's there during the day, it's used during the 00:33:59
night. So as opposed to having high volume use during the day and then no use at night, there'd be minimal use or less use during 00:34:03
the day and then minimal use at night. 00:34:07
I also would note that specifically next door to this property is the Fairfield Inn that was rezoned to Ord. 00:34:12
And so this property seems to be one particularly situated that would be appropriate for the council to look at, for the council 00:34:20
to be able to conditionally allow it if the council wanted to do that. We can't do that unless and until the PO zone gets amended. 00:34:26
The. 00:34:34
There seem to be adequate facilities, pedestrian center, bus hub, other public transit options. The street size is one of the 00:34:38
things that the the council report talks about. The street sites here as well as everywhere else in the PO zone as well as 00:34:43
everywhere in the room zone. All the buildings are appropriately St. sized for the potential use of the short term rentals is 00:34:49
called out in the code. 00:34:54
Also one thing that I want the council to recognize is that as noted in the report to these buildings that are in the PO zone 00:35:03
generally are as I noted before have been the room. So they're either complete residential or complete office and the city has 00:35:09
made a point of trying to turn those into office buildings. Allowing some of that residential to remain will increase the buffer 00:35:15
zone that's there will allow. 00:35:21
The city to better plan. 00:35:28
Specifically, these soft buffer zones between the dense commercial that is noted in the general plan of often on that Highland Dr. 00:35:32
corridor and the residential that comes off of that. 00:35:38
With the second and third part of that, the. 00:35:50
And I think I've addressed the harmonious character of the existing development and the vicinity of this particular property. And 00:35:54
also with all of the RM zone and all of the PO zone, we've reached out there. As noted in the Council report, there are presently 00:36:01
8 properties in the PO Zone. Of those, we've submitted letters on behalf of, I believe. 00:36:07
Five of those property owners. 00:36:14
The fifth one, Mr. Ensign, who owns. 00:36:18
2225 Holiday LLC asked us to tell the council that he supports short term rentals to be added to the PO zone as a conditional use. 00:36:23
We didn't go through and pull all of the individuals that owned the RM zoning. I believe there were 36 or 38 of those. 00:36:31
But we think they are likely to be in favor because it allows the additional uses in the what amount to less use of these 00:36:40
properties, less severe use than purely an office use would dictate or purely residential use would dictate. And it seems to 00:36:45
further the the city's goal of the general plan. And then third, the extent to which the amendment, the proposed amendment may 00:36:51
adversely affect any abutting properties, the adequacy facilities and services such as roadways, parks, recreational facilities, 00:36:57
police and Fire Protection and etcetera. 00:37:02
And I think all of that is effectively done by making sure that these types of properties that would be in the in the PO zone or 00:37:09
the RM zone, which would potentially be rezoned to PO are wide enough. There's simply no negative. 00:37:16
Potentiality of allowing the PO zone in this text amendment, and I'll note that although the council report gives a negative 00:37:25
recommendation, it doesn't say you shouldn't ever do it. It says, let's look at this again in 2025 when we redo the entire general 00:37:31
plan, which is part of what we heard when we came in with the rezoning application. Well, this is supposed to be C2, but maybe 00:37:37
this should really not be C2, maybe should really go to PL. 00:37:42
To simply kick the can down the road I think is not the appropriate thing to do here. What we're asking is that the council be 00:37:49
given the discretion to allow these properties to be short term rentals if there's an investor such as as the owners of this 00:37:56
property that want to turn this into the kind of the next generation of properties that have the mixed-use. 00:38:03
This Council, have any questions or anything further that you'd like me to say? 00:38:11
Could you just remind me your RM before it was room previously and what was deficient with the RM zone relative to your needs in 00:38:16
the room zone? You can either be all residential or all commercial. 00:38:24
You cannot have the mixed-use PUD thing correct John. 00:38:33
Office users. 00:38:43
Pre-existing prior to the change. 00:38:45
But only that use, there's not a mixed-use PUD element. Erm. 00:38:51
Gotcha. 00:38:57
Thanks. 00:39:00
Thank you. 00:39:01
Thank you. 00:39:05
OK. Any questions? 00:39:08
Council before we open the public hearing. 00:39:11
OK, public hearing is now open, so we'd invite anybody who wants to address the council on this application to approach the podium 00:39:15
and again state your name and address and try to keep it 3 minutes. 00:39:20
OK, there being then we will close the public hearing and I'll just for the applicant's sake, I'll just let you know that this. 00:39:29
This is on the agenda to discuss in the work session. We'll move it to the top of that agenda item. So we'll be addressing that 00:39:37
shortly across the hall in an open session. You're welcome to listen to the discussion with the Council. 00:39:43
OK. Moving along then. 00:39:50
We have two items associated with our new Emergency Management coordinator. We need to appoint her Allison Jester, and then also 00:39:55
to adopt the comprehensive magic plan. We'll start with the appointment of Allison Jester as the city's new Emergency Management 00:40:00
Coordinator. 00:40:05
Mr. Merriman for approval of Resolution 2024, Dash 29, appointing Allison Jester as the Cities Emergency Management Coordinator. 00:40:10
2nd. 00:40:18
You have a motion to 2nd. 00:40:20
And next is just to approve the comprehensive Emergency Management plan. 00:40:34
Mr. Mayor, I move that we approve Resolution 2024-30 adopting the Comprehensive Emergency Management plan. 00:40:40
I'll just note that. 00:40:49
In my packet, the resolution is #2022-30. 00:40:51
2022 dash. 3024 dash. Yeah, that's a typo. It should be 2024. 00:41:01
Yeah. Thank you. 00:41:06
Yeah, Mike. Well, I'm just looking at my print. Yeah, the agenda, it's in the. 00:41:07
The actual resolution. 00:41:13
But with that change, I'd second the motion. 00:41:19
We have a motion and a second noted that the actual resolution is 2024. Dash 30 will go to vote Council member Gray, Council 00:41:21
Member Quinn, yes. 00:41:27
Yes, yes. 00:41:32
Producing that large plan. 00:41:40
And we look forward to some block trainings and then hopefully a tabletop exercise at some point down the road. 00:41:42
Item number 8 is the approval of the City's Employee manual. Updates to the City employee manual. 00:41:52
We went through that with Gina during the last council session. There was a big discussion on family medical leave, I mean 00:41:59
maternity leave rather. 00:42:04
Attorney paternally family, we had that discussion and. 00:42:11
Other than that, talking with council across all, there were no major issues other than a couple of changes that we need to make 00:42:16
in the motion to clarify some language and update specifically the 160 hours to 2:40. 00:42:23
And then a couple of others and I think Emily has that motion. I move that we approve Resolution 2024, Dash 31, approving 00:42:31
amendments to the city's employee manual with the following changes. Changing parental leave from 160 hours to 240 hours and the 00:42:40
inclusion of Pte on page 26 and edit of the first part of the sentence on FII on page 33. 00:42:48
Second. OK, motion a second. 00:42:58
We OK with that motion. 00:43:03
OK. Any discussion to the motion? 00:43:07
We will go to vote Councilmember Gray. Yes. Councilmember Quinn. Yes. Councilmember Father again, yes. Councilmember Durham. Yes. 00:43:11
Councilmember Brewer and Chair. Vote yes. 00:43:16
Changes the employment or approved. Thank you Council. 00:43:22
Item number 9 is there are. 00:43:26
There's a large piece in the packet that there are a couple of minor changes, I believe to the community Renewable Energy program, 00:43:30
and I'm going to turn this one over to Councilmember Quinn, who has been our liaison on that board, I guess, or. 00:43:37
Working through this issue and Todd and kind of give us an overview of what those changes are and then we'll take that to a 00:43:44
motion. 00:43:47
Thank you, Mayor. 00:43:51
I sort of apologize for having to. 00:43:56
Have this done again. I think this is our third go around with the utility agreement. 00:44:00
Just to give you a little background for those of you who are on the Council back in 2019. 00:44:07
At that point, cities or any sort of municipalities needed to. 00:44:12
Resolve that they wanted to go forward with this, which holiday did. Fast forward to our latest legislative session in earlier 00:44:19
this spring. 00:44:25
Two of the bills that were passed in that session made some changes to the Community Renewable Energy Agency. 00:44:31
Law, one of which is. 00:44:41
Municipalities no longer have to have made that resolution that we made back in 2019, and that opens up the possibility of new 00:44:45
municipalities joining the program. Now Mill Creek has done so. Excuse me, not Mill Creek. 00:44:55
Midvale knew there was an M in there somewhere. Midvale. Midvale is now going to be a participating community. 00:45:08
And because the original utility agreement listed the names of all of the participating municipalities, we had to change that. We 00:45:17
also updated names for currents and immigration Canyon from Township to city. There was another bill that changed the. 00:45:27
That supposedly updated renewable to clean and there I know people who don't agree with that, but that's not for tonight's debate. 00:45:39
Umm, so there are just some small tweaks. One of the things that thank goodness someone thought to put in this is that if there 00:45:50
are any more changes, we don't have to go through this signing process again. So you can all I can guarantee that you won't. We 00:45:59
won't have to do this again anyway, so that is why we have to. 00:46:08
Resign. 00:46:19
And we felt like it would be a good idea to bring this before the entire council, before we have the mayor sign on the dotted line 00:46:20
and hopefully this is. 00:46:27
Does anyone have any questions? 00:46:36
My disjointed explanation was not too disjointed. 00:46:39
OK, I think it is all right. We're basically adding a city and then. 00:46:44
Eliminating all these requirements to bring it back every time we add another city or anything else to the document. 00:46:51
Very good. 00:46:56
All right. 00:47:04
OK. Do you want to make a motion on that? Sure, Mr. Mayor. I. 00:47:05
Let's see. 00:47:15
I propose that we approve Resolution 2024, Dash 32, approving an amended interlocal agreement among public entities regarding the 00:47:17
Community renewable energy program. 00:47:23
2nd. 00:47:31
Is that a second? Yes, sorry. Yes, second. All right, we will go to vote then. 00:47:33
Councilmember Gray, Yes. Councilmember Quinn? Yes. Councilmember Fotheringham, Yes. 00:47:37
Yes, yes. 00:47:43
What a relief. 00:47:47
No, no, no, no. Let let me, let me just clarify. I won't bring you the utility agreement back, but you haven't heard the end of it 00:47:54
yet. Other stuff, yeah. 00:47:59
Thanks, Drew. 00:48:06
All right, our acting city manager is up. Holly. 00:48:07
Hello everyone. Gina is enjoying a much deserved family vacation in Italy, but I'm happy to share a few things with you tonight. I 00:48:16
have 3 items I wanted to present to council. The 1st news event I wanted to share is yesterday we had our official kickoff of the 00:48:22
general plan update under the leadership of John Tier Link. And you're going to get a full presentation on that project, including 00:48:28
the timeline that will proceed over the next year at your December meeting and. 00:48:35
Right now, the team's going to be working on getting a steering committee together. 00:48:42
Developing a community engagement plan and conducting an existing conditions and plans audit. So watch for more on that in 00:48:47
December. But Speaking of the general plan, there's a new grant program that's been established by the Department of Water 00:48:53
Resources. This is a grant that would help us satisfy the requirement that's now part of a general plan. 00:49:00
If you remember, we got a really generous grant from the WFRC to do our general plan update. But what this would do is give us 00:49:06
even additional funds. So Carrie Marsh is working on that application. It's due on October 24th. If there's no concerns about us 00:49:12
pursuing that, we will put in an application and hopefully get some more funds. 00:49:18
OK, registration for the National League of Cities, their 2025 Congressional city conference that's been held in Washington, DC, 00:49:25
is going to open in November. And we talked about this opportunity last spring as a way to build our relationship with the Utah 00:49:31
congressional delegation. And I just wanted to check in to see who on the council would possibly want to attend that. I can send 00:49:37
you more details via e-mail. High level, it's being held March 11th through the 13th. That's a Tuesday through Thursday, and we 00:49:43
can take. 00:49:49
Registration, your travel, all of that. Just let me know if that's something you'd be interested in doing. We're going to be 00:49:55
working really closely with Ryan Levitt, who's our federal lobbyist, to ensure that we have the right events and meetings set up 00:49:59
for you. 00:50:04
And then lastly, our history, our historical exhibits experience is moving right along and Councilmember Brewer sets on our 00:50:10
steering committee. And as we are moving from design and into construction, we're starting to look at the name of this project and 00:50:16
we need a better program name. You could tell it took me a while to say it when I started to tell you about it. So we're trying to 00:50:22
find a program name that we can market and that we can use to describe all the different history elements that we have in the city 00:50:28
of. 00:50:33
So the steering committee, as well as our project consultant and city staff came up with some options. So what I'm going to do is 00:50:40
just read you a couple of names. These are not final names, but I just wanted to get your reaction to some of the words and see if 00:50:46
there are words that you really like or words that are a no go. And this will just help us as we kind of finalize things. So the 00:50:52
first option is called Holiday Echoes a Living History. 00:50:58
And just an example with that name, the walk that we're doing in the park, Outback would be called Holiday Echoes Heritage Walk. 00:51:04
So that's one option or words. Another option is rooted together, a living museum. 00:51:11
And as another example, our walk could be called They're Rooted together walk or Rooted Together Heritage Walk. And what we're 00:51:18
trying to do is we know this is history, but we're trying to use words again that we can kind of say quicker and that we can start 00:51:24
to brand all of the elements together. So are there any thoughts on any of those? I can also send you them to to you via e-mail if 00:51:29
you need to see them. 00:51:35
Before reacting. 00:51:41
I like them all. I like the the imagery of Rooted probably a little better than Echoes just because it's. 00:51:45
It seems to project more of a forward. 00:51:56
Sort of together. Us OK without. 00:51:59
Or I just kind of like the rooted a little bit of the neck goes all the way. I do like them both. Thank you. I agree with Paul and 00:52:04
the trees. Yeah, I like rooted because of the trees and also holiday, I think a hallmark of holidays that we have when you talk 00:52:10
about rooted, a lot of people stick around like the. 00:52:16
People from my generation that grew up here, that there's just a lot of people in holiday the stick around. I personally. 00:52:22
Derivative as well. 00:52:27
Agree with that. 00:52:30
All right, that's all I have. Is there any other questions or things that you have of me? 00:52:35
Any questions for Holly before she? 00:52:43
Thank you very much. 00:52:46
All right. Thanks, Holly. 00:52:48
Emily, why don't we start with you and we'll work our way down the line on council reports? 00:52:51
It should come to no surprises any for anybody that Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling is dealing with increased costs just like we 00:52:58
all are and is looking at increasing. 00:53:02
Fees for waste collection. I would have loved to have come to you with a number, but we are still trying to finalize what that is. 00:53:08
There is going to be a public hearing where we will have the final number and I just need to double check when that is. I'll go 00:53:18
back. 00:53:21
It is October 21st. 00:53:26
Oh no, that's the one before to determine the final number. October 28th at 6:00 PM is when we're going to be having the public 00:53:32
hearing for that. It looks like it will be. 00:53:37
Between 5:00 and 6:00 dollars a month, so just to make people aware that that is. 00:53:43
In the process of being discussed and coming along for garbage collection. I don't even know what our fee is right now. 00:53:49
It's about $22.00 a month per, but they're charged quarterly. So is it $5.00 a month or $5 a quarter is $5.00 a month? 00:53:55
Yeah. So when we when we have a solid number, so they're going to be coming and doing a formal presentation for that. 00:54:07
But that's coming. 00:54:12
That's it. 00:54:17
OK, I had fun at the ribbon cutting for solo salons. 00:54:19
And and it was, it's always fun to to be out in the business community and and meet new people. 00:54:24
School is definitely back in session since we were here last. I've been. 00:54:33
To the Morningside Elementary and the Driggs Elementary Community Councils as they get going. 00:54:38
Also this afternoon, I met with Chief Hoyle and Jared Bunch. Thank you, Chief and the principal at Morningside to look at some 00:54:44
parking issues there. 00:54:50
And unfortunately it looks like another one came in right after we left SO. 00:54:57
We're working hard on that one. Morningside has some challenges because there are a lot of kids that come from outside of the 00:55:03
neighborhood. 00:55:07
And are dropped off so. 00:55:12
Anyway, but it's it's always good to see our educators working so hard for our kids. 00:55:14
Two items in our briefing session. We talked a lot of calendaring about interfaith stuff. I have one more for you. Another 00:55:25
interfaith thing. This is a number of friends with one kind act. 00:55:30
They're so hosting an interfaith panel, um. 00:55:35
I think it's going to be similar to the one we saw in April up at EU Similar panelists, but it's Wednesday October 9th, 11:30 to 00:55:41
1:30. Includes lunch, there's no cost. 00:55:47
It's all sponsored by One Kind Act. And if it's anything like the the panel that Rob and I saw, but to you at the One Kind Act 00:55:55
conference, it's a really impressive group of people and. 00:56:01
Addressing some important. 00:56:09
Topics of kindness and civilization that we all need to. 00:56:11
Benefit from anyway, if you're interested in that, I can send you the e-mail that I have about it that has the RSVP link. So I'll 00:56:17
just send it out to all of you regardless and then you can decide. October 9th, that's a Wednesday, 11:30 to 1:30, includes lunch. 00:56:23
It's free. 00:56:28
And then? 00:56:35
But I would just say we both attended last year. It is if you have the time, it's a great event. And then lastly, we concluded our 00:56:37
concert Series A little later than we thought because we had the one makeup concert. So we had the Eagles tribute band, Seven 00:56:43
Bridges Rd. this last weekend and they were great. And wow, what a great, lovely, perfect Friday night and holiday. So hope you 00:56:50
all enjoyed the summer concert series. 00:56:56
Megan Adam and our Arts and Culture director does have a survey out. 00:57:04
Trying to get feedback for any ideas that you might have for improving the concert series. We invite you to participate in that 00:57:08
short survey. 00:57:12
That's all. 00:57:18
Just a couple of things. Last week I attended. 00:57:20
And organ donation event that we did in collaboration with the Holiday Lions and our Happy Healthy Holiday Coalition. 00:57:24
It was really an interesting. 00:57:32
Helpful event it was. 00:57:37
Kind of run by Megan Bartley, our public health coordinator for the city, who did a great job. 00:57:39
So that was that was really good. And then with respect to the tree committee we have. 00:57:44
First of all, they're really excited about some of the. 00:57:51
Communication ideas that they've been discussing with Lena. So I wanted to thank Lena for her help with them because they're 00:57:55
they're really excited about ways of getting information to the community about their activities and things. 00:58:00
And there's a tree talks on October 12 at the library. There'll be an open panel with some arborists so people can come and ask 00:58:05
questions about how to care for their trees, how to plant their trees. These have been really popular events because people have 00:58:13
lots of questions about trees. So if you if you have questions, you can come on October 12th to the library. 00:58:21
Just two things, this the history we talked about across the Hollywood. I was mentioning here that Monday the 7th history night, 00:58:33
which is more involved than just our typical historical. 00:58:39
Speaking speaker series. It'll be downstairs, 7:00 PM. 00:58:45
Light refreshments and Ellis Ivory will be there. He's the executive director of this is a place Heritage Park along with Alex 00:58:51
Stromberg, who I think is like an operations manager with with Ellis. And there will be artifacts on display and stories of kind 00:58:57
of early settlers and and that that it should be a really nice evening. 00:59:03
And then I also just wanted to give kudos to Holly and Stephanie and all who were involved in the site redesign of our website, 00:59:10
holidayut.gov. I don't know if you all ever how often you all use it, but just this morning, for example, I've got, I was 00:59:16
frustrated with some potholes before and after a speed bump on the street that I drive a lot. And, and it's so much. It's just so 00:59:22
it's quick, first of all, and it's easy. Like it's, it's easy to find the things you need to go to is the responsive design of it 00:59:28
is nice. You're on a handheld. 00:59:34
On a mobile device, all of us just, it's just it's like legit and good. And it will, as long as we just maintain it well, I think 00:59:40
it will last good. So I think it was money well spent, effort well put in. And I appreciate Holly and Stephanie and all that they 00:59:46
did and all that staff. I know that each department had to do different things to do that. So. 00:59:51
Hats off to all that were involved. 00:59:58
Thanks. 01:00:01
Just I'm just, I won't go through everything because I talked to John about it, but I've had. 01:00:03
An interesting few days with residents going around and calling me. 01:00:10
Try to get stuff done. 01:00:15
And it puts, you know, I was telling John, we get put in an interesting situation because we're elected and we're elected because 01:00:19
we say we're going to be the mouthpiece for the residents and then. 01:00:24
They call us and we try to advocate on their behalf. And sometimes it puts us in difficult situations with staff where maybe 01:00:31
we're, we seem to be overstepping what we should be doing when we're trying to advocate for our residents. It's just a, it's a 01:00:37
hard thing. And so we've had a few, I, I know I put John's staff, you know, probably taking them off schedule a little bit and 01:00:44
I've, I've felt bad about that, but they have been very responsive and. 01:00:50
I just want to thank you and Anne and Crystal and. 01:00:58
Rob and whoever else was involved with a couple of these. 01:01:03
Issues and really going above and beyond an hour way to try to accommodate. 01:01:08
The residents as best you can and still stay within you know your legal parameters. So it's not lost on us. And I just want you to 01:01:14
know I appreciate it and I hope it hasn't inconvenienced you too much. And I know 4 Lemons is getting open tomorrow and, and she's 01:01:20
been so stressed about it, trying to check all of her boxes and the staff just been incredible trying to hold her hand and help 01:01:26
her through it and help her. 01:01:32
Get everything she needed so she can open legally. So anyway, thanks to all of you. I appreciate it. We've got a great staff. 01:01:39
That's all I have. And so we'll recess, Council, take a minute or two, break, move across the hall and start working on the work 01:01:46
agenda once we get a motion. 01:01:50
Mr. Harmon, we adjourn. City Council reconvene in a work session across the hall in 5 minutes. 01:01:54
Second motion is second. All in favor say aye aye. We'll move across the hall and start again. 01:02:01

Transcript

I know it's like you could hear a pin drop. 00:00:01
OK. 00:00:07
Welcome everybody. And I am going to call the Holiday City Council meeting to order on Thursday, October 3rd. And I'm going to 00:00:10
start by recognizing our Unified Police Chief who is here with us tonight, Jason Mazarin. He's the top dog of Unified Police. So 00:00:17
Chief, we're honored to have you here tonight for a special presentation. 00:00:24
And we're in a minute going to we've got, I got to get going because we got 15 or 20 people lined up to speak about Chief Thomas, 00:00:32
who just retired. So we'll be here till probably 8. 00:00:38
He won't be here, but they'll be speaking. He'll leave. 00:00:44
But anyway, we're going to we just want to recognize Chief Thomas and I just want to say personally, Chief, what an honor it's 00:00:47
been to work with you. He's retired, I think after 30 or retired yesterday, I believe after 30 years of of service to this 00:00:54
community and to UPD has been a great friend to the city of Holiday. 00:01:01
We're very sorry to see you go, but we're very happy that you get to to enjoy a well earned retirement or whatever it is you're 00:01:09
going to do when you're not doing police work now. 00:01:15
And he's graciously agreed to start with the pledge. We always start with the pledge. We're going to have Chief Thomas lead us in 00:01:21
the pledge and then we'll take it from there. Chief Hoyle will take it from there. 00:01:25
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, 00:01:36
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 00:01:43
Thank you. I think you have to stay there. 00:01:51
Chief, here with me for a minute. I'm going to start. I've got a couple of awards to give out tonight. 00:01:57
Start with Chief Thomas, because I know he might have to bust out of here and run up to White City City Council tonight. So I'm 00:02:04
going to just start with this. This isn't something that we normally do when somebody retires to bring another chief over here, 00:02:10
but there's there's a little special circumstance that I wanted to recognize. Randy, sorry, I'm going to get choked up on this. 00:02:15
Randy and I got hired together. 00:02:20
28 years ago here and I've, I've kind of followed him around my whole career. We started together out in West Patrol. He went to 00:02:27
the motorcycle squad. I went to the motorcycle squad there after. 00:02:32
He went to the SWAT team, I went to the SWAT team, and then, you know, at one point there was a little separation there and then 00:02:38
he went to canine and I went to Homicide and did some different things. But then he was over our dispatch center. A short time 00:02:44
later I was over our dispatch center. He became the chief in Midvale. And then about a year later, I was honored to be your chief 00:02:49
up here. But the one thing about Randy that I wanted to recognize is. 00:02:55
Throughout my career, he's always been that mentor to me. He's always been somebody that's taken me under his wing and all these 00:03:01
assignments that I've come in underneath him and supported me and he's been a really dear friend. Even though Randy, you've had a 00:03:07
lot of seniority and other assignments, I still have seniority over you at Bear Lake. So keep that. Don't let free at that, but 00:03:12
even at that when it comes to holiday here. 00:03:17
From the minute that I became your chief, he brought me up to his office and said, hey, look, Justin, here's some things that 00:03:25
you're going to want to do to really provide reports to the city. 00:03:28
Information they're going to want and it and it didn't stop there throughout the last five years as the mayor and Gina would even 00:03:32
know whenever I've been out of town and Tyler's been out of town. Randy's been the one that's taken taken the watch over holiday 00:03:38
city for you and never let things miss a beat up here. Many times throughout the years that I've been up here we've needed help 00:03:44
with search warrants additional detectives and every time I've called him is is there's been no hesitation and he sent detectives 00:03:50
from Midvale to come up and help. 00:03:56
And search warrants have been here and some of you may even recall a couple years ago we had a very large property theft case that 00:04:02
was going on with over $1,000,000 in recovered property. We had several search warrants going on simultaneously and I called Randy 00:04:07
for help and not only did he send help, but he came personally. He's always been one that's been a friend to Holiday City. He's 00:04:12
been one that I've been able to call regularly and ask for advice. We bounce ideas off each other all the time and he's going to 00:04:17
truly be missed. So with that. 00:04:22
Because of all the work and effort that he's done for us in the precinct, in the city. 00:04:28
I'm presenting him with the sorry, it makes a lot of noise. The division commander award, which is something that is a precinct 00:04:33
chief you can give out to people for special recognition that they deserve, which Randy does. Normally this pin goes on your 00:04:38
uniform, but since I wasn't able to talk him out of staying, we put it on a plaque to present to him for all of his efforts and 00:04:44
and contributions to the city of Holiday. So congratulations. 00:04:50
In addition, the mayor wanted me to give you his last one that he had, but this is. 00:05:07
25 year holiday city coin that he wanted you to have. 00:05:10
Thank you. 00:05:21
We are truly going to miss Randy here. He's one in a million. 00:05:22
You wanted to mention Yeah, real quick, and I'm going to pay you a compliment. One of the great hallmarks and characteristics of a 00:05:28
good leader is someone who talks to their colleagues and advisors. 00:05:34
And ask for advice and seeks different opinions and things like that. And Justin is a person that does that. I can't tell you how 00:05:42
many conversations I had where he says, hey, I was just talking to Randy and I was just talking to Randy. I was talking to Randy. 00:05:48
And I just want the council of mayor to know that, you know, although Chief Thomas was assigned elsewhere, he has done a lot to 00:05:54
support this city, this great city of holiday and. 00:06:00
Has been a phenomenal leader and is very well respected in the organization and has been a good friend of all of us that are here 00:06:08
and he will be missed so. 00:06:12
Thanks, Ray. Thank you. Appreciate. 00:06:17
Well, just real quick and I, I figured he had some up his sleeve. I can tell you that when he told me I will be here. Anything 00:06:21
Justin wants, he gets from me. He's certainly earned that. He is. 00:06:27
I've always admired him when, and I don't kid you, there's there's God and then there's Justin. 00:06:35
Although I've I've personally witnessed Justin swear. 00:06:43
But you've got an excellent chief. You've actually got 2 excellent chiefs here. 00:06:48
And obviously the executive. 00:06:53
Holiday is kind of my old, pretty close male stomping ground. I live in Cottonwood Heights was raised there. I love the east side 00:06:57
area. I love the culture over here and I what I really love is the UPD model where we can share with each other, you know, limited 00:07:04
resources. We can shift resources and you need help, we'll be there. I need help. Same thing so and we've, you know, Justin and I, 00:07:11
I never really tracked on how we've kind of our careers have crossed paths, but we he's always been a wingman to me and. 00:07:18
Will continue so. 00:07:26
I keep on saying I got a different, you know, different profession, but at this point, I'm not going anywhere. I'm just doing a 00:07:27
different thing. So I hope we can still have those conversations and bounce ideas off each other. And I appreciate your time. I'm 00:07:32
not going to take any more of it up. So thank you very much. I appreciate you all. 00:07:37
He said they can stick around, so we'll just have them come down out. 00:07:52
Here and taken care of here. 00:07:59
If I could have John Salnier come up here next. 00:08:02
Come on right up here, front and center, my friend. So these next two individuals that I want to recognize are no strangers to you 00:08:12
guys. 00:08:17
These two are phenomenal employees, phenomenal officers and continually go above and beyond to serve the city. And So what I want 00:08:22
to present them because of certain instances, I'll read you the certificates that are here. They receive an incentive award, which 00:08:29
not only do they get this certificate, but they get $100 incentive on their check for going above and beyond. 00:08:35
And so I'll just read you what, sorry. 00:08:42
To an area hospital as they were on scene, the child's condition improved so well that he did not even need to go by ambulance. 00:09:14
They released him to his family to go in a personal vehicle. It was later determined the child had been underwater for over 2 00:09:20
minutes. Detectives on theirs to be committed for his quick actions and helping this child begin to breathe again. 00:09:25
Detectives on there always goes above and beyond to help people in need and is and that is no different. He's an asset to the 00:09:31
Unified Police Department, the city of holiday and the community serves. He he as you know, he, he's our mental health detective 00:09:37
here. And and this is just one example of about 1000 that he does every single day of going above and beyond to help other people. 00:09:43
And so we wanted to recognize him for helping save the life of a child. Correct. Congratulations. 00:09:49
And I'll have you come back up in one second and we'll get a picture. 00:10:04
Kennedy. 00:10:08
Letter of commendation from the victim advocate in our Mill Creek precinct, and I'll just read this to you if I can. 00:10:43
That provided needed material for detectives to update and further investigate a prior incident involving these two individuals, 00:11:48
Officer Rasmussen emailed. 00:11:53
And kindness. 00:12:28
And this is just very common of her, as you know, we've recognized her several times here, but this is this is the work she does 00:12:30
also every day. She just doesn't stop. And it doesn't matter where she's at. She continually gives to serve the community. And 00:12:35
we're just very grateful to have her here in our precinct. 00:12:40
You guys might coming down and getting in a picture and we'll bring these guys up. 00:12:52
Here let's just jump a little when you do a couple rows here. 00:13:08
Thanks. 00:13:39
As always. 00:13:43
Thank you again. 00:14:08
Thanks. 00:14:09
Okay. 00:14:19
That was awesome. I'm sorry to see Randy go, but I'm happy for him too. 00:14:21
He's earned it. 00:14:25
We'll move on now to public comment this item number four on the agenda. 00:14:29
We do have one public hearing which is on a text amendment to the PO zone. So if you are here. 00:14:33
To comment on that public hearing or address the council on that public hearing, wait till we get to that public hearing. If 00:14:40
you're here to address the council, as Trudy is, on anything other than that rezone application, you do it during public comment, 00:14:46
which is now open and Trudy will show you how to do it. 00:14:52
Its name and address we asked for and then try to keep it to about 3 minutes or less. 00:15:00
Trudy from the library. October is a really exciting month at the library. The library system as a whole is doing the costume swap 00:15:05
again this year. So if you have costumes that people have outgrown or that you're not going to use anymore and would like to trade 00:15:13
them for another costume of a different size or a different kind, you can bring your costumes into our library Holiday library 00:15:20
between October 8th and 16th. And then you'll receive a token. And with a token, you can get in on October 19th. 00:15:27
At the big swap at the Viridian, if you donate a costume, you get to go in before the people who did not get to a donation in. So, 00:15:35
you know, you get first pick and it's and it's much appreciated. Many people get to, you know, trade out and costumes are kind of 00:15:40
expensive and. 00:15:45
You only get to wear them once. 00:15:51
The other thing that we're very excited about is we're having an after hours star party with the Astronomical Society on the 11th. 00:15:53
So it's going to be at 7:00 in the evening on October 11th in our parking lot. And then we'll also have some crafts and Donuts and 00:15:59
stuff like that inside. 00:16:05
It should be a lot of fun. 00:16:13
The clouds permitting. 00:16:16
The other fun things we've got going on here at the beginning of the month tomorrow, if your teen or tween hasn't signed up for 00:16:19
our spooky movie, it's an after hours Lock in at 6:30 and if you register, they can come and watch a movie and have snacks. 00:16:26
And the library I assume is very spooky after hours. 00:16:36
And then on Saturday the 5th, we are having an Are you ready to Vote event. So we've got the League of Women Voters. 00:16:40
And if you need to register, if you need to check on your registration, change your registration. If you know an 18 year old that 00:16:48
hasn't registered yet, this is a great opportunity to get it. If you have any questions at all, they are super informed and they 00:16:54
can help you find information. And of course, we have all sorts of other spooky and fun things happening for the rest of the 00:17:00
month, but there's something every day. So just come on into the library and see what you can find. 00:17:06
Do you have any questions for me? 00:17:13
Thank you. Thanks, Trudy. Good to see you as always. 00:17:17
Anybody else for public comment? 00:17:20
Sir. 00:17:23
Mayor, Councilman and women. My name is Bob Nesslin and I own a office building at 2091 Murray Holiday Road and I also reside here 00:17:29
in Holiday. 00:17:36
And I'm here before you today just with to propose something and that I read the public hearing to propose text amendment and I 00:17:45
would like the Council to consider. 00:17:50
The possibility? 00:17:56
Of making a text amendment to the PO zone. 00:17:59
And this is the perfect time because you're looking at it right now. 00:18:04
To be able to add business uses to the PO zone for. 00:18:08
Businesses that are for the opposite buildings that are long Mary Holiday Rd. 00:18:16
My building has been there forever. It was originally the Mountain Fuel building and then it was remodeled and adapted and it's 00:18:20
now 10,000 square foot office building and I haven't I'm full. I have a number of tenants that are in there and recently I just 00:18:27
found out that. 00:18:33
Like a massage therapist person or someone who does Botox or someone who does anything basically that touches somebody else is not 00:18:41
allowed in that zone. 00:18:47
Whereas it was years ago and so I've went to. 00:18:55
Meeting with Jonathan and with Carrie on September 17th and I was the only person that showed up. 00:19:02
And we talked about what I can do, and my options are to hold a neighborhood meeting and to give the neighborhood input and then 00:19:10
come before the Planning Commission, then come back before you just to get it rezoned. There are a number of buildings and I don't 00:19:18
know if you can pull. 00:19:25
That I thought that Carrie was going to be here today and she could pull that up and show you just how vast it is. There's only 00:19:32
just a few buildings along there that have gone through this rezoning thing, but if you could change it and do a text amendment. 00:19:40
Or resolution, amendment, or however the city attorney thinks you can handle that so that all of these neighbors on Murray, 500 00:19:49
feet off Murray Holiday Rd. don't have to be notified and notified and notified as all these businesses go, buildings go one at a 00:19:55
time. 00:20:02
It's it's far reaching. the US bank building needs to be rezoned because they don't allow banking in the zone. 00:20:09
OK. They've been there for a long time and I'm sure it was just an oversight. 00:20:18
But if you could just take that into consideration. 00:20:24
And see what we can do to streamline the process. 00:20:27
So that everybody is. 00:20:32
In line with what the zoning requirements are. 00:20:35
Thank you. Well, yeah, we won't get into it back and forth, but I think what you're asking is to text them in the PO zone to allow 00:20:39
uses, which should just be a application to add the uses that are felt to be appropriate and correct. 00:20:47
Oh. 00:20:58
Sorry, I misspoke. That's that is correct. 00:21:04
OK. 00:21:08
All right. Thank you. 00:21:10
Anybody else for public comment? 00:21:15
OK. There being none, I will close public comment and we'll move to item number 5. This is a public hearing on proposed text 00:21:20
amendments to allow short term rentals as a conditional use in the PO zone. 00:21:26
Before we open up the public hearing, I understand the applicant is here. 00:21:35
Yes. 00:21:39
There is a pretty large. 00:21:42
Inclusion in the packet that has the has a staff report that's been prepared that the council, the council has reviewed as well as 00:21:47
documents from the public hearing with the Planning Commission on this particular item. So we'll start with John Tier link. And 00:21:53
John, if you just want to kind of give us an overview and see if the council has any questions. And then we'll see if the 00:22:00
applicant wants to address the council and then we'll work our way into a public hearing. 00:22:06
Sure. Thanks, Mayor. 00:22:14
John Terlington, Community and Economic Development Director. Application before you tonight is a legislative request. 00:22:16
By an applicant owning property on Highland Drive in about 6400 S. 00:22:22
The request currently is to have property that's currently zoned PEO Professional office. 00:22:29
To include short term rentals. 00:22:36
There is a staff report in there that's pretty detailed, but I'll hit some high points. Primarily, this property was rezoned 00:22:39
recently from RM. 00:22:43
RM Zone is one of the couple of handful of zones in the city that does allow already short term rentals. 00:22:48
That use in 2018. 00:22:57
Removing all of the office allowed office uses in the room zone. The room zone was a mixed-use zone. 00:23:00
To create its own professional office on, the council requested staff to study that and propose a new zone, which was primarily 00:23:07
office uses. 00:23:11
And greatly expanded the number of types of businesses that can go into that zone. 00:23:16
This property is rezoned to PO. However, the STR allowance, the short term rental allowance was not something that was considered 00:23:23
to move over with that change. 00:23:28
So specifically this is being asked to be applied for one location in particular. However, a text amendment would be something 00:23:33
that would be applied to all PO zones as a use so. 00:23:39
That would have to be taken into consideration. 00:23:46
Other than that, maybe answering questions that might help get to the root of any concerns you may have or questions you might 00:23:50
have. 00:23:54
So could you speak maybe to initially when the STR what? 00:24:00
What was the do you recall the rationale at the time of the creation of the PO zone as to why the STR didn't move over from RM? 00:24:04
The directive from the council at the time in 2018 was to create a zone that was office centered. 00:24:11
Professional office centered. 00:24:19
The Planning Commission had several meetings on what types of uses uses should be allowed in that new professional office zone. 00:24:21
That type of use a residential type of use. 00:24:29
Short stay was not something that was considered to move over. Got it. 00:24:33
When we talked about this before the briefing, but. 00:24:38
I had noted that the. 00:24:43
PO zone actually does not have any residential uses, let alone short term. 00:24:46
Rental Residential. 00:24:52
The only exception being in a pud. 00:24:55
And tell me if I'm stating this correctly or incorrectly. Except for the if you have a PUD that has mixed-use. 00:24:59
But that part of the code specifically excludes short term rentals, so it seemed like there was. This was not a situation of an 00:25:05
oversight, but rather a specific. 00:25:11
The thought had gone into the exclusion as opposed to being an oversight. 00:25:17
And I don't know what that reasoning was, but it appears as I read the code that there was reasoning there as opposed to being an 00:25:24
oversight. 00:25:28
Would there be a way we could like look back and see if there's a record of what that reasoning would be? 00:25:34
Well, definitely you would have minutes from those meetings and from both Planning Commission and City Council. 00:25:41
Whether or not the. 00:25:48
That was a long time ago. It's possible that they would be happy to talk about that directly. Sure, we can. Yeah, you can take a 00:25:51
look at that for sure. 00:25:54
So long term rentals are not allowed in the PO zone. 00:25:59
They would be under the mixed-use planned unit development. They're allowed as a conditional use permit which has been approved at 00:26:03
this site. So a long term rental could so it's a live work type situation where someone could live upstairs and work in the space 00:26:10
below. That was sort of the idea that it could be allowed a short term rental was was something that wasn't necessarily included, 00:26:17
but a long term rental code. Yeah, I mean so totally different like. 00:26:24
Somebody has an apartment or a home above their office and or rents to somebody that has an office as opposed to. 00:26:32
We want to turn it into an Airbnb. 00:26:41
Yeah, essentially. 00:26:44
OK. 00:26:46
And so as I understand it that the code then requires that the. 00:26:47
There's a connection or a link between the. 00:26:52
Professional use and the person living in the long term rental not directly, but that would have been the idea is that it's sort 00:26:56
of to address even if an affordability notion. 00:27:02
That someone could live above the space that they work at. 00:27:09
And have that option available in throughout the city. 00:27:12
But requiring them to be the one that lives there and also runs the office was not something that was required. 00:27:18
And I think that's one of the reasons why it's proposed as condition. 00:27:24
All short term rental. 00:27:29
Approvals in the city or conditional approvals granted by the Planning Commission, which in this case is a land use authority. 00:27:31
So that they can assess impact, you know, based on the specific circumstances, right. Yeah. 00:27:38
And this one specifically, this is one that's just north of the Fairfield Inn, is that correct? 00:27:46
That white colonial looking. 00:27:52
OK. 00:27:58
We may call on you again, OK. 00:28:01
Did the applicant want to address the Council? 00:28:05
I'm sure. Does he get a discount free? 00:28:12
So I want to give the Council a little bit of understanding of how we got to where. 00:28:21
So I'll do my best of giving you the explanation of what the zones are and and why it is the PO is what we want. So this 00:28:26
particular piece of property is a little bit different. It's in the Highland Dr. general use plan, the Highland Dr. plan. If you 00:28:31
remember when we did the rezoning, there were some public comment the neighborhood did not want this to be commercial, which is 00:28:37
what it was supposed to be C2. 00:28:42
C2 would allow conditionally the short term rentals the. 00:28:49
The purpose of this is that for my parents to be able to live in this building for the remainder of their lives, they've taken the 00:28:56
top floor of that or the planets take the top floor of that. We're working through the building Commission, building inspectors. 00:29:02
But to move that into their apartment, they separated into two apartments so that the plans have to be two apartment there's and a 00:29:09
secondary 1 because it's bigger than what they need in the room zone. 00:29:16
The. 00:29:23
Entire building could have been turned into residential or the entire building could have been turned into commercial or remained 00:29:25
as commercial as it was. The PO zone when that was created in 2018, gave the ability to create these offices. But to have the live 00:29:31
work situation, kind of the update of the code as society has gotten to that point, has gotten to the point where we like having 00:29:37
commercial uses on the main floor, residential uses above that. 00:29:43
As for the PO zone, what seems to be have designed to have been done? 00:29:50
Is it creates this where we can have the live work under a conditional use permit that's been obtained for this particular 00:29:54
property, for any property that would want to have the conditional use of residence and even potentially the conditional use of a? 00:30:01
Short term rentals. It would be a 2 step process, just as the applicant here has undergone. It's a 2 step process. 00:30:10
What they would like is to have the permit, the short term rentals permitted here. If the council will remember or recall both 00:30:16
the, I believe it's RM and R2 zoning permit short term rentals. The CN, excuse me, the C2 permit short term rentals. PEO seems to 00:30:22
be a bit of an outlier here. 00:30:28
And we think what we're asking the council to do is to correct this as an outlier to allow the conditional use of short term 00:30:36
rentals in this PO zone, Certainly something that can be looked at on a case by case basis, but something that must be. 00:30:43
The statute of let, the council must change the text of the PO zone in order to allow it. I would like to remind the council that 00:30:52
there the Planning Commission, there's a little bit of a procedural irregularity in that although there was a negative 00:30:58
recommendation forwarded from the Planning Commission, the applicant was not given notice of the hearing. We've gone, we've 00:31:04
listened to the minutes into the audio of the hearing. There's one of the members of the Planning Commission that's very much in 00:31:10
favor and says this is what needs to happen. 00:31:16
Another member of the Planning Commission that said. Why is the applicant not here? Another member of the Planning Commission that 00:31:22
said. 00:31:26
This person came and rezoned this to PO. They're now here. They came and asked for conditional use permit. Now they're asking for 00:31:31
a short term rental. What are they doing? I think we're we ought to just vote no. We have two people on the Planning Commission, I 00:31:38
believe it was 2 that were largely against allowing the short term rentals here and allowing the short term rentals anywhere. 00:31:44
In the PIO zone, and I think that reflects somewhat of the political reality that we live in is that there are a lot of people 00:31:51
that do not want short term rentals to be anywhere I. 00:31:56
If we look at the if the Council looks at the staff report, the Council should consider three factors determining whether to 00:32:01
approve or deny the proposed amendment. The first would be whether the proposed amendment is consistent consistent with the goals, 00:32:08
objectives and policies of the cities general plan. The second would be whether the proposed amendment is harmonious with the 00:32:15
overall character of the existing development in the vicinity of the in the vicinity of the subject property. And 3rd. 00:32:22
The extent to which the proposed amendment may adversely affect abutting properties. 00:32:29
Adequacy of facilities and services intended to serve the subject property such as roadways, parks, recreational facilities, etc. 00:32:33
If we look at factor number one, I think the Highland Dr. Master plan adequately addresses this. It has an in segment C of the 00:32:42
Highland Dr. Master plan. 00:32:45
And it's primarily zoned for commercial purposes. As I noted earlier, the reason this property was rezoned to PIO as opposed to 00:32:50
the C2, which is what the master plan called for, was because the community did not want C2 specifically because they had problems 00:32:56
with the property just to the north of that strip mall. And they they were very much against having this property rezoned to the 00:33:01
the C2, which is again why the applicant wanted PL. because for their purposes, they want to live here and rent the remainder of 00:33:07
it out. They do not have. 00:33:13
Another office there, although I think the intent is that they'll run some of their businesses out of a conference room on the 00:33:19
main floor, but it's not specifically, I guess, live work as we may generally look at that. 00:33:26
The. 00:33:34
The general plan discusses incorporating the mixed-use into the primarily commercial. 00:33:36
What we're supposed to do also with the PIO is create a buffer zone between the heavy commercial and the residential. 00:33:42
Allowing short term rentals here would do exactly that. It would actually lessen the impact of the commercial because, as noted in 00:33:50
the Council report, I. 00:33:53
So the commercial is used during the day, the short term rental is used, nobody's there during the day, it's used during the 00:33:59
night. So as opposed to having high volume use during the day and then no use at night, there'd be minimal use or less use during 00:34:03
the day and then minimal use at night. 00:34:07
I also would note that specifically next door to this property is the Fairfield Inn that was rezoned to Ord. 00:34:12
And so this property seems to be one particularly situated that would be appropriate for the council to look at, for the council 00:34:20
to be able to conditionally allow it if the council wanted to do that. We can't do that unless and until the PO zone gets amended. 00:34:26
The. 00:34:34
There seem to be adequate facilities, pedestrian center, bus hub, other public transit options. The street size is one of the 00:34:38
things that the the council report talks about. The street sites here as well as everywhere else in the PO zone as well as 00:34:43
everywhere in the room zone. All the buildings are appropriately St. sized for the potential use of the short term rentals is 00:34:49
called out in the code. 00:34:54
Also one thing that I want the council to recognize is that as noted in the report to these buildings that are in the PO zone 00:35:03
generally are as I noted before have been the room. So they're either complete residential or complete office and the city has 00:35:09
made a point of trying to turn those into office buildings. Allowing some of that residential to remain will increase the buffer 00:35:15
zone that's there will allow. 00:35:21
The city to better plan. 00:35:28
Specifically, these soft buffer zones between the dense commercial that is noted in the general plan of often on that Highland Dr. 00:35:32
corridor and the residential that comes off of that. 00:35:38
With the second and third part of that, the. 00:35:50
And I think I've addressed the harmonious character of the existing development and the vicinity of this particular property. And 00:35:54
also with all of the RM zone and all of the PO zone, we've reached out there. As noted in the Council report, there are presently 00:36:01
8 properties in the PO Zone. Of those, we've submitted letters on behalf of, I believe. 00:36:07
Five of those property owners. 00:36:14
The fifth one, Mr. Ensign, who owns. 00:36:18
2225 Holiday LLC asked us to tell the council that he supports short term rentals to be added to the PO zone as a conditional use. 00:36:23
We didn't go through and pull all of the individuals that owned the RM zoning. I believe there were 36 or 38 of those. 00:36:31
But we think they are likely to be in favor because it allows the additional uses in the what amount to less use of these 00:36:40
properties, less severe use than purely an office use would dictate or purely residential use would dictate. And it seems to 00:36:45
further the the city's goal of the general plan. And then third, the extent to which the amendment, the proposed amendment may 00:36:51
adversely affect any abutting properties, the adequacy facilities and services such as roadways, parks, recreational facilities, 00:36:57
police and Fire Protection and etcetera. 00:37:02
And I think all of that is effectively done by making sure that these types of properties that would be in the in the PO zone or 00:37:09
the RM zone, which would potentially be rezoned to PO are wide enough. There's simply no negative. 00:37:16
Potentiality of allowing the PO zone in this text amendment, and I'll note that although the council report gives a negative 00:37:25
recommendation, it doesn't say you shouldn't ever do it. It says, let's look at this again in 2025 when we redo the entire general 00:37:31
plan, which is part of what we heard when we came in with the rezoning application. Well, this is supposed to be C2, but maybe 00:37:37
this should really not be C2, maybe should really go to PL. 00:37:42
To simply kick the can down the road I think is not the appropriate thing to do here. What we're asking is that the council be 00:37:49
given the discretion to allow these properties to be short term rentals if there's an investor such as as the owners of this 00:37:56
property that want to turn this into the kind of the next generation of properties that have the mixed-use. 00:38:03
This Council, have any questions or anything further that you'd like me to say? 00:38:11
Could you just remind me your RM before it was room previously and what was deficient with the RM zone relative to your needs in 00:38:16
the room zone? You can either be all residential or all commercial. 00:38:24
You cannot have the mixed-use PUD thing correct John. 00:38:33
Office users. 00:38:43
Pre-existing prior to the change. 00:38:45
But only that use, there's not a mixed-use PUD element. Erm. 00:38:51
Gotcha. 00:38:57
Thanks. 00:39:00
Thank you. 00:39:01
Thank you. 00:39:05
OK. Any questions? 00:39:08
Council before we open the public hearing. 00:39:11
OK, public hearing is now open, so we'd invite anybody who wants to address the council on this application to approach the podium 00:39:15
and again state your name and address and try to keep it 3 minutes. 00:39:20
OK, there being then we will close the public hearing and I'll just for the applicant's sake, I'll just let you know that this. 00:39:29
This is on the agenda to discuss in the work session. We'll move it to the top of that agenda item. So we'll be addressing that 00:39:37
shortly across the hall in an open session. You're welcome to listen to the discussion with the Council. 00:39:43
OK. Moving along then. 00:39:50
We have two items associated with our new Emergency Management coordinator. We need to appoint her Allison Jester, and then also 00:39:55
to adopt the comprehensive magic plan. We'll start with the appointment of Allison Jester as the city's new Emergency Management 00:40:00
Coordinator. 00:40:05
Mr. Merriman for approval of Resolution 2024, Dash 29, appointing Allison Jester as the Cities Emergency Management Coordinator. 00:40:10
2nd. 00:40:18
You have a motion to 2nd. 00:40:20
And next is just to approve the comprehensive Emergency Management plan. 00:40:34
Mr. Mayor, I move that we approve Resolution 2024-30 adopting the Comprehensive Emergency Management plan. 00:40:40
I'll just note that. 00:40:49
In my packet, the resolution is #2022-30. 00:40:51
2022 dash. 3024 dash. Yeah, that's a typo. It should be 2024. 00:41:01
Yeah. Thank you. 00:41:06
Yeah, Mike. Well, I'm just looking at my print. Yeah, the agenda, it's in the. 00:41:07
The actual resolution. 00:41:13
But with that change, I'd second the motion. 00:41:19
We have a motion and a second noted that the actual resolution is 2024. Dash 30 will go to vote Council member Gray, Council 00:41:21
Member Quinn, yes. 00:41:27
Yes, yes. 00:41:32
Producing that large plan. 00:41:40
And we look forward to some block trainings and then hopefully a tabletop exercise at some point down the road. 00:41:42
Item number 8 is the approval of the City's Employee manual. Updates to the City employee manual. 00:41:52
We went through that with Gina during the last council session. There was a big discussion on family medical leave, I mean 00:41:59
maternity leave rather. 00:42:04
Attorney paternally family, we had that discussion and. 00:42:11
Other than that, talking with council across all, there were no major issues other than a couple of changes that we need to make 00:42:16
in the motion to clarify some language and update specifically the 160 hours to 2:40. 00:42:23
And then a couple of others and I think Emily has that motion. I move that we approve Resolution 2024, Dash 31, approving 00:42:31
amendments to the city's employee manual with the following changes. Changing parental leave from 160 hours to 240 hours and the 00:42:40
inclusion of Pte on page 26 and edit of the first part of the sentence on FII on page 33. 00:42:48
Second. OK, motion a second. 00:42:58
We OK with that motion. 00:43:03
OK. Any discussion to the motion? 00:43:07
We will go to vote Councilmember Gray. Yes. Councilmember Quinn. Yes. Councilmember Father again, yes. Councilmember Durham. Yes. 00:43:11
Councilmember Brewer and Chair. Vote yes. 00:43:16
Changes the employment or approved. Thank you Council. 00:43:22
Item number 9 is there are. 00:43:26
There's a large piece in the packet that there are a couple of minor changes, I believe to the community Renewable Energy program, 00:43:30
and I'm going to turn this one over to Councilmember Quinn, who has been our liaison on that board, I guess, or. 00:43:37
Working through this issue and Todd and kind of give us an overview of what those changes are and then we'll take that to a 00:43:44
motion. 00:43:47
Thank you, Mayor. 00:43:51
I sort of apologize for having to. 00:43:56
Have this done again. I think this is our third go around with the utility agreement. 00:44:00
Just to give you a little background for those of you who are on the Council back in 2019. 00:44:07
At that point, cities or any sort of municipalities needed to. 00:44:12
Resolve that they wanted to go forward with this, which holiday did. Fast forward to our latest legislative session in earlier 00:44:19
this spring. 00:44:25
Two of the bills that were passed in that session made some changes to the Community Renewable Energy Agency. 00:44:31
Law, one of which is. 00:44:41
Municipalities no longer have to have made that resolution that we made back in 2019, and that opens up the possibility of new 00:44:45
municipalities joining the program. Now Mill Creek has done so. Excuse me, not Mill Creek. 00:44:55
Midvale knew there was an M in there somewhere. Midvale. Midvale is now going to be a participating community. 00:45:08
And because the original utility agreement listed the names of all of the participating municipalities, we had to change that. We 00:45:17
also updated names for currents and immigration Canyon from Township to city. There was another bill that changed the. 00:45:27
That supposedly updated renewable to clean and there I know people who don't agree with that, but that's not for tonight's debate. 00:45:39
Umm, so there are just some small tweaks. One of the things that thank goodness someone thought to put in this is that if there 00:45:50
are any more changes, we don't have to go through this signing process again. So you can all I can guarantee that you won't. We 00:45:59
won't have to do this again anyway, so that is why we have to. 00:46:08
Resign. 00:46:19
And we felt like it would be a good idea to bring this before the entire council, before we have the mayor sign on the dotted line 00:46:20
and hopefully this is. 00:46:27
Does anyone have any questions? 00:46:36
My disjointed explanation was not too disjointed. 00:46:39
OK, I think it is all right. We're basically adding a city and then. 00:46:44
Eliminating all these requirements to bring it back every time we add another city or anything else to the document. 00:46:51
Very good. 00:46:56
All right. 00:47:04
OK. Do you want to make a motion on that? Sure, Mr. Mayor. I. 00:47:05
Let's see. 00:47:15
I propose that we approve Resolution 2024, Dash 32, approving an amended interlocal agreement among public entities regarding the 00:47:17
Community renewable energy program. 00:47:23
2nd. 00:47:31
Is that a second? Yes, sorry. Yes, second. All right, we will go to vote then. 00:47:33
Councilmember Gray, Yes. Councilmember Quinn? Yes. Councilmember Fotheringham, Yes. 00:47:37
Yes, yes. 00:47:43
What a relief. 00:47:47
No, no, no, no. Let let me, let me just clarify. I won't bring you the utility agreement back, but you haven't heard the end of it 00:47:54
yet. Other stuff, yeah. 00:47:59
Thanks, Drew. 00:48:06
All right, our acting city manager is up. Holly. 00:48:07
Hello everyone. Gina is enjoying a much deserved family vacation in Italy, but I'm happy to share a few things with you tonight. I 00:48:16
have 3 items I wanted to present to council. The 1st news event I wanted to share is yesterday we had our official kickoff of the 00:48:22
general plan update under the leadership of John Tier Link. And you're going to get a full presentation on that project, including 00:48:28
the timeline that will proceed over the next year at your December meeting and. 00:48:35
Right now, the team's going to be working on getting a steering committee together. 00:48:42
Developing a community engagement plan and conducting an existing conditions and plans audit. So watch for more on that in 00:48:47
December. But Speaking of the general plan, there's a new grant program that's been established by the Department of Water 00:48:53
Resources. This is a grant that would help us satisfy the requirement that's now part of a general plan. 00:49:00
If you remember, we got a really generous grant from the WFRC to do our general plan update. But what this would do is give us 00:49:06
even additional funds. So Carrie Marsh is working on that application. It's due on October 24th. If there's no concerns about us 00:49:12
pursuing that, we will put in an application and hopefully get some more funds. 00:49:18
OK, registration for the National League of Cities, their 2025 Congressional city conference that's been held in Washington, DC, 00:49:25
is going to open in November. And we talked about this opportunity last spring as a way to build our relationship with the Utah 00:49:31
congressional delegation. And I just wanted to check in to see who on the council would possibly want to attend that. I can send 00:49:37
you more details via e-mail. High level, it's being held March 11th through the 13th. That's a Tuesday through Thursday, and we 00:49:43
can take. 00:49:49
Registration, your travel, all of that. Just let me know if that's something you'd be interested in doing. We're going to be 00:49:55
working really closely with Ryan Levitt, who's our federal lobbyist, to ensure that we have the right events and meetings set up 00:49:59
for you. 00:50:04
And then lastly, our history, our historical exhibits experience is moving right along and Councilmember Brewer sets on our 00:50:10
steering committee. And as we are moving from design and into construction, we're starting to look at the name of this project and 00:50:16
we need a better program name. You could tell it took me a while to say it when I started to tell you about it. So we're trying to 00:50:22
find a program name that we can market and that we can use to describe all the different history elements that we have in the city 00:50:28
of. 00:50:33
So the steering committee, as well as our project consultant and city staff came up with some options. So what I'm going to do is 00:50:40
just read you a couple of names. These are not final names, but I just wanted to get your reaction to some of the words and see if 00:50:46
there are words that you really like or words that are a no go. And this will just help us as we kind of finalize things. So the 00:50:52
first option is called Holiday Echoes a Living History. 00:50:58
And just an example with that name, the walk that we're doing in the park, Outback would be called Holiday Echoes Heritage Walk. 00:51:04
So that's one option or words. Another option is rooted together, a living museum. 00:51:11
And as another example, our walk could be called They're Rooted together walk or Rooted Together Heritage Walk. And what we're 00:51:18
trying to do is we know this is history, but we're trying to use words again that we can kind of say quicker and that we can start 00:51:24
to brand all of the elements together. So are there any thoughts on any of those? I can also send you them to to you via e-mail if 00:51:29
you need to see them. 00:51:35
Before reacting. 00:51:41
I like them all. I like the the imagery of Rooted probably a little better than Echoes just because it's. 00:51:45
It seems to project more of a forward. 00:51:56
Sort of together. Us OK without. 00:51:59
Or I just kind of like the rooted a little bit of the neck goes all the way. I do like them both. Thank you. I agree with Paul and 00:52:04
the trees. Yeah, I like rooted because of the trees and also holiday, I think a hallmark of holidays that we have when you talk 00:52:10
about rooted, a lot of people stick around like the. 00:52:16
People from my generation that grew up here, that there's just a lot of people in holiday the stick around. I personally. 00:52:22
Derivative as well. 00:52:27
Agree with that. 00:52:30
All right, that's all I have. Is there any other questions or things that you have of me? 00:52:35
Any questions for Holly before she? 00:52:43
Thank you very much. 00:52:46
All right. Thanks, Holly. 00:52:48
Emily, why don't we start with you and we'll work our way down the line on council reports? 00:52:51
It should come to no surprises any for anybody that Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling is dealing with increased costs just like we 00:52:58
all are and is looking at increasing. 00:53:02
Fees for waste collection. I would have loved to have come to you with a number, but we are still trying to finalize what that is. 00:53:08
There is going to be a public hearing where we will have the final number and I just need to double check when that is. I'll go 00:53:18
back. 00:53:21
It is October 21st. 00:53:26
Oh no, that's the one before to determine the final number. October 28th at 6:00 PM is when we're going to be having the public 00:53:32
hearing for that. It looks like it will be. 00:53:37
Between 5:00 and 6:00 dollars a month, so just to make people aware that that is. 00:53:43
In the process of being discussed and coming along for garbage collection. I don't even know what our fee is right now. 00:53:49
It's about $22.00 a month per, but they're charged quarterly. So is it $5.00 a month or $5 a quarter is $5.00 a month? 00:53:55
Yeah. So when we when we have a solid number, so they're going to be coming and doing a formal presentation for that. 00:54:07
But that's coming. 00:54:12
That's it. 00:54:17
OK, I had fun at the ribbon cutting for solo salons. 00:54:19
And and it was, it's always fun to to be out in the business community and and meet new people. 00:54:24
School is definitely back in session since we were here last. I've been. 00:54:33
To the Morningside Elementary and the Driggs Elementary Community Councils as they get going. 00:54:38
Also this afternoon, I met with Chief Hoyle and Jared Bunch. Thank you, Chief and the principal at Morningside to look at some 00:54:44
parking issues there. 00:54:50
And unfortunately it looks like another one came in right after we left SO. 00:54:57
We're working hard on that one. Morningside has some challenges because there are a lot of kids that come from outside of the 00:55:03
neighborhood. 00:55:07
And are dropped off so. 00:55:12
Anyway, but it's it's always good to see our educators working so hard for our kids. 00:55:14
Two items in our briefing session. We talked a lot of calendaring about interfaith stuff. I have one more for you. Another 00:55:25
interfaith thing. This is a number of friends with one kind act. 00:55:30
They're so hosting an interfaith panel, um. 00:55:35
I think it's going to be similar to the one we saw in April up at EU Similar panelists, but it's Wednesday October 9th, 11:30 to 00:55:41
1:30. Includes lunch, there's no cost. 00:55:47
It's all sponsored by One Kind Act. And if it's anything like the the panel that Rob and I saw, but to you at the One Kind Act 00:55:55
conference, it's a really impressive group of people and. 00:56:01
Addressing some important. 00:56:09
Topics of kindness and civilization that we all need to. 00:56:11
Benefit from anyway, if you're interested in that, I can send you the e-mail that I have about it that has the RSVP link. So I'll 00:56:17
just send it out to all of you regardless and then you can decide. October 9th, that's a Wednesday, 11:30 to 1:30, includes lunch. 00:56:23
It's free. 00:56:28
And then? 00:56:35
But I would just say we both attended last year. It is if you have the time, it's a great event. And then lastly, we concluded our 00:56:37
concert Series A little later than we thought because we had the one makeup concert. So we had the Eagles tribute band, Seven 00:56:43
Bridges Rd. this last weekend and they were great. And wow, what a great, lovely, perfect Friday night and holiday. So hope you 00:56:50
all enjoyed the summer concert series. 00:56:56
Megan Adam and our Arts and Culture director does have a survey out. 00:57:04
Trying to get feedback for any ideas that you might have for improving the concert series. We invite you to participate in that 00:57:08
short survey. 00:57:12
That's all. 00:57:18
Just a couple of things. Last week I attended. 00:57:20
And organ donation event that we did in collaboration with the Holiday Lions and our Happy Healthy Holiday Coalition. 00:57:24
It was really an interesting. 00:57:32
Helpful event it was. 00:57:37
Kind of run by Megan Bartley, our public health coordinator for the city, who did a great job. 00:57:39
So that was that was really good. And then with respect to the tree committee we have. 00:57:44
First of all, they're really excited about some of the. 00:57:51
Communication ideas that they've been discussing with Lena. So I wanted to thank Lena for her help with them because they're 00:57:55
they're really excited about ways of getting information to the community about their activities and things. 00:58:00
And there's a tree talks on October 12 at the library. There'll be an open panel with some arborists so people can come and ask 00:58:05
questions about how to care for their trees, how to plant their trees. These have been really popular events because people have 00:58:13
lots of questions about trees. So if you if you have questions, you can come on October 12th to the library. 00:58:21
Just two things, this the history we talked about across the Hollywood. I was mentioning here that Monday the 7th history night, 00:58:33
which is more involved than just our typical historical. 00:58:39
Speaking speaker series. It'll be downstairs, 7:00 PM. 00:58:45
Light refreshments and Ellis Ivory will be there. He's the executive director of this is a place Heritage Park along with Alex 00:58:51
Stromberg, who I think is like an operations manager with with Ellis. And there will be artifacts on display and stories of kind 00:58:57
of early settlers and and that that it should be a really nice evening. 00:59:03
And then I also just wanted to give kudos to Holly and Stephanie and all who were involved in the site redesign of our website, 00:59:10
holidayut.gov. I don't know if you all ever how often you all use it, but just this morning, for example, I've got, I was 00:59:16
frustrated with some potholes before and after a speed bump on the street that I drive a lot. And, and it's so much. It's just so 00:59:22
it's quick, first of all, and it's easy. Like it's, it's easy to find the things you need to go to is the responsive design of it 00:59:28
is nice. You're on a handheld. 00:59:34
On a mobile device, all of us just, it's just it's like legit and good. And it will, as long as we just maintain it well, I think 00:59:40
it will last good. So I think it was money well spent, effort well put in. And I appreciate Holly and Stephanie and all that they 00:59:46
did and all that staff. I know that each department had to do different things to do that. So. 00:59:51
Hats off to all that were involved. 00:59:58
Thanks. 01:00:01
Just I'm just, I won't go through everything because I talked to John about it, but I've had. 01:00:03
An interesting few days with residents going around and calling me. 01:00:10
Try to get stuff done. 01:00:15
And it puts, you know, I was telling John, we get put in an interesting situation because we're elected and we're elected because 01:00:19
we say we're going to be the mouthpiece for the residents and then. 01:00:24
They call us and we try to advocate on their behalf. And sometimes it puts us in difficult situations with staff where maybe 01:00:31
we're, we seem to be overstepping what we should be doing when we're trying to advocate for our residents. It's just a, it's a 01:00:37
hard thing. And so we've had a few, I, I know I put John's staff, you know, probably taking them off schedule a little bit and 01:00:44
I've, I've felt bad about that, but they have been very responsive and. 01:00:50
I just want to thank you and Anne and Crystal and. 01:00:58
Rob and whoever else was involved with a couple of these. 01:01:03
Issues and really going above and beyond an hour way to try to accommodate. 01:01:08
The residents as best you can and still stay within you know your legal parameters. So it's not lost on us. And I just want you to 01:01:14
know I appreciate it and I hope it hasn't inconvenienced you too much. And I know 4 Lemons is getting open tomorrow and, and she's 01:01:20
been so stressed about it, trying to check all of her boxes and the staff just been incredible trying to hold her hand and help 01:01:26
her through it and help her. 01:01:32
Get everything she needed so she can open legally. So anyway, thanks to all of you. I appreciate it. We've got a great staff. 01:01:39
That's all I have. And so we'll recess, Council, take a minute or two, break, move across the hall and start working on the work 01:01:46
agenda once we get a motion. 01:01:50
Mr. Harmon, we adjourn. City Council reconvene in a work session across the hall in 5 minutes. 01:01:54
Second motion is second. All in favor say aye aye. We'll move across the hall and start again. 01:02:01
