Yeah. | 00:00:01 | |
Stephanie, I'm ready whenever you are. | 00:00:24 | |
OK. | 00:00:32 | |
Welcome everybody. We're going to call to order the City of Holiday City Council meeting on Thursday, June 6th, and we'll start | 00:00:33 | |
with the pledge. | 00:00:37 | |
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, | 00:00:45 | |
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:52 | |
OK. Thank you. | 00:01:04 | |
Before we open up public comment, I did mention something across the hall, but it sounds like John made a presentation down the | 00:01:09 | |
tree committee meeting earlier. But I. | 00:01:15 | |
And we'll be talking to all of you when we get to the work session. But I would like to say an open meeting that we'll be losing | 00:01:22 | |
Travis, who's been on our tree committee and chaired the tree committee for a number of years. | 00:01:27 | |
And really grown it to be a really effective committee inside the city and we've got quite a few of them now. | 00:01:33 | |
All you've done for us and wish you nothing but the best up in Oregon and and go go east of the Cascades. Go to Bend, not to | 00:02:16 | |
Eugene. | 00:02:22 | |
If you get a choice, unless you love rain, in which case go to Eugene. | 00:02:28 | |
OK, So that'll bring us to public comment before I open up public comment. We do have five public hearings tonight. So if anybody | 00:02:33 | |
is here to address the city on any of the public hearings, I would ask you to wait till we open up that particular public hearing. | 00:02:40 | |
Those public hearings have are a rezone on 5600 S budget amendments for this year and the proposed fiscal year budget for next | 00:02:46 | |
year and then public hearings on changes to the city's compensation schedule and and municipal officers compensation increases | 00:02:53 | |
schedule. | 00:03:00 | |
So if you're here to comment on any of those, just wait till I get to that public hearing then and then feel free to comment once | 00:03:08 | |
we open that up. | 00:03:11 | |
If you're here to comment on anything other than those five public hearings. | 00:03:16 | |
Now is the time we'll have Trudy go 1st and she'll show you how it's done, name and address, and we ask that you just try to keep | 00:03:22 | |
it to 3 minutes or less if you can, please. | 00:03:27 | |
I'm tree from the library and I've got some things I want to hand out if that's OK, Sure OK. | 00:03:33 | |
I'm sure it's non controversial coming from the library. | 00:03:41 | |
Oh, is there coloring involved? | 00:03:46 | |
And now I congratulate all of you on signing up for summer reading. You're setting a great example. | 00:03:56 | |
As you can see. | 00:04:02 | |
It's not just reading anymore. You can read, create, learn, play, and connect. You can do one of each of those activities every | 00:04:04 | |
day, and for each one of those activities that you do, you color in or mark off one of those icons at the bottom. Once you get | 00:04:10 | |
them all colored in or marked off, you bring the sheet back to the library. You get a free book, you get to enter into our prize | 00:04:16 | |
drawings, and you get some coupons to get money off on some fun activities. You have until July 31st to get this done if you | 00:04:22 | |
finish early. | 00:04:27 | |
You can come in, we've got a bonus round that you can sign up for called Ticket to Read, and you can earn up to three more free | 00:04:34 | |
books. And for each of these, because you can do this three times and each time you do it, you get 7 more entries into the prize | 00:04:39 | |
drawing it increases your chances. | 00:04:44 | |
So that's what the biggest fun at the library is for the for the month of June. I do want to highlight some of our story times | 00:04:50 | |
because they're going to be pretty exciting. We've got little tiny animals coming on Tuesday the 11th. We have a fire truck coming | 00:04:58 | |
on the 18th, and we have a puppet show on the 25th of June for the 10:15 Tuesday story time. And Stephanie has worked with us | 00:05:05 | |
really wonderfully to get us some story times at the gazebo starting in July. So we're excited about those. | 00:05:12 | |
And that is what's happening at the library. Can I answer any questions, any questions for Trudy? | 00:05:20 | |
Happy reading. All right. Thank you very much. | 00:05:28 | |
Anybody else for public comment coming up? | 00:05:35 | |
Let me let me explain what's going on. My daughter can't be here because she's at a work meeting. She's at 1866 Beaumont Circle. | 00:05:42 | |
I'm her father. And she asked me to speak on the proposed Adu ordinance changes. Is it OK? Yeah. Name and address, please. OK. My | 00:05:50 | |
name is Luke Montoya. Her name is Amanda Mendenhall, 1866 Beaumont Circle. And she wanted me to. | 00:05:58 | |
Comment on this because the Adu in our case actually is an effort to take care of a family member. My grandson contracted some | 00:06:07 | |
pretty severe health issues after COVID, contracting COVID in addition to his epilepsy, in addition to a permanent heart defect. | 00:06:15 | |
And so he's not really going to be able to live on his own. So the Adu ordinance changes are going to affect possibly what my | 00:06:22 | |
daughter is going to be able to do in the way of accommodating him, giving him a space to live and a place to work. | 00:06:30 | |
The main issue is that the 10 foot set back doesn't seem to give city officials any flexibility in making adjustments for setbacks | 00:06:39 | |
and other other criteria for smaller properties in this case. | 00:06:49 | |
We have. It's a little over 1/4 of an acre of lot. | 00:06:59 | |
And I would like to build a small Adu. It's it's going to be fairly small. And so we'd like to put a, a small loft in it, which | 00:07:03 | |
may come into problem for because of the size of the lot, but it's kind of important because. | 00:07:10 | |
The living level will basically be just enough to live on and he's going to be working out of this this his home basically. | 00:07:18 | |
So we'd like to have some flexibility for city officials when they're receiving these requests for Adus. Now, these are external | 00:07:27 | |
Adus that I'm talking about to be able to make adjustments in cases where it makes sense. In this case that the property backs to | 00:07:35 | |
a canal, there's no one behind it, The vegetation is very mature. It literally blocks the Adu, the proposed Adu, from the | 00:07:43 | |
neighbors, from anybody behind it. | 00:07:50 | |
There's really not going to be a privacy concern, even though it's a smaller lot. | 00:07:59 | |
That really won't be an issue. There's just no way the neighbor can even see this unit from their house. And there's in this case | 00:08:05 | |
there's even a garage that's in the way. So to have a rigid template set back or to have a rigid 2 story requirement would | 00:08:11 | |
basically make it impossible to build a unit that would accommodate if my grandson in a way that wouldn't affect any neighbor or | 00:08:17 | |
anyone else. | 00:08:23 | |
So those are the two things. Just basically flexibility on the 10 foot set back that's more important for smaller lots. It's good | 00:08:31 | |
that the that the City Council has decided to make these Adus for only family, not for rental or whatever and we support that, but | 00:08:37 | |
in this case on a smaller lot. | 00:08:43 | |
It's going to be really hard to accommodate the family member because of the size of the lot. Now. There's also a lot of mature | 00:08:51 | |
trees. If we have that Ridge of 10 foot set back, we're probably going to have to take out a very valuable shade tree from the | 00:08:56 | |
yard. It's going to change the nature of the lot. | 00:09:01 | |
The only other exception would be if we can't get. | 00:09:07 | |
Some adjustment or some flexibility and the height or the OR the? | 00:09:12 | |
Set back under unique circumstances. | 00:09:18 | |
Then at least maybe carve out an exception for properties that are not going to, but other residences, you know, where you got | 00:09:23 | |
open field behind you, canals or whatnot. And so that's that's what we're hoping that there will be some flexibility building to | 00:09:30 | |
whatever ordinance pass that will allow city officials to accommodate these unique lots, these irregularly shaped lots and help | 00:09:36 | |
get the most out of the use of the property. | 00:09:43 | |
For family members. | 00:09:51 | |
Thank you. OK, thanks. Yeah, interesting because the public hearing on this Adu is closed. But just for the record, we do have. | 00:09:52 | |
A a submission from your daughter that is in the hands of all the, I don't know what that means Todd, in terms of, but we have it | 00:10:04 | |
and it's pretty detailed and details what you've talked about. And I would assume we would probably talk a little bit about that | 00:10:11 | |
when we're working through the Adu. We continue to work through the Adu ordinance in the. | 00:10:17 | |
Work session which we will be doing tonight. You're welcome to stay for that discussion. That's an open meeting discussion we | 00:10:25 | |
have. But I just wanted you to know that we have the document, all the Council members have the document that was forward that | 00:10:31 | |
kind of covers what your concerns are as it relates to the ordinance. All right, thank you. | 00:10:37 | |
And anybody else for public comment? | 00:10:44 | |
OK. It doesn't appear that we have anybody else for public comment, so I'll close public comment and move on to item number four. | 00:10:51 | |
And this is a proposed hearing on the rezone at 1932 E, 5600 S from R110 to R210. The staff report was written by Kerry Marsh. | 00:10:58 | |
It's in the packet. | 00:11:05 | |
As I stated across the hall, this seemed, at least to me, to be a pretty straightforward application. We'll have Carrie come over | 00:11:13 | |
and just kind of cover the high points with the council and then we'll take it from there. | 00:11:18 | |
Great. Thank you, Mayor. So this is a requested rezone for an R110 zone to an R210 zone. It's located at 1932 E 5600 S, just West | 00:11:28 | |
of Highland Drive. | 00:11:36 | |
It is a larger property. It's .44 acres, just shy of being able to subdivide into two parcels, I think by about 835 square feet. | 00:11:47 | |
It is on a wide arterial road, 66 feet wide. | 00:11:59 | |
It's exterior to a neighborhood and properties around the the proposed rezone are all zoned as either R2 with a much higher | 00:12:04 | |
density RM on the corner of Highland and 5600 S. | 00:12:11 | |
That's AI believe that one zip assisted care center. So the context of all the surrounding properties are listed in the staff | 00:12:19 | |
report. | 00:12:24 | |
And overall this would enable a total net gain of two dwelling units in addition to the existing one. If 3 units were on the | 00:12:31 | |
property, I would result in about 6389 square feet of land per unit. | 00:12:40 | |
Doing single family detached units within an R210 zone. | 00:12:50 | |
Are there any questions on it or that I can answer? | 00:12:58 | |
Was there much activity in terms of public comment at the Planning Commission? | 00:13:04 | |
We had multiple comments. Most people were neighbors that were concerned with the care of the property or condition of the | 00:13:10 | |
property. | 00:13:15 | |
Those issues were addressed with code enforcement. Our code enforcement officer went out to the property and you know, closed out | 00:13:21 | |
their case that they had existing before. Most of the issues were with rats. The canal is just West of the of this property, so | 00:13:27 | |
not with the rezone percentage. The rats issue was. | 00:13:32 | |
Everywhere by by the canals, so but nothing that would affect a rezone. | 00:13:39 | |
Thank you. | 00:13:45 | |
Anything else for Carrie, the applicants here? I don't know if you want to address the council. | 00:13:47 | |
You're welcome to. | 00:13:54 | |
I'll say a couple words. Sure. Thank you, Matthew Lewis. | 00:13:56 | |
This is my parents home that they lived in. I think they bought it in 1991 or 1992. My dad used the back. If you saw the picture | 00:14:01 | |
from before, there was kind of an outbuilding there on the property when he purchased it. I think the building was being used as a | 00:14:08 | |
kind of lock or door hardware manufacturing facility actually. And then. | 00:14:16 | |
He taught you, converted it into a music studio, taught out of it for um. | 00:14:26 | |
I guess almost 30 years till he passed away five years ago so. | 00:14:31 | |
My sister tried to. | 00:14:36 | |
Kind of talk about maybe using that as a business again with city officials and then that was denied. So really we have this | 00:14:39 | |
building there that's. | 00:14:43 | |
That's kind of what we're trying to address is some kind of way to improve the property. | 00:14:48 | |
But because it looks like that building is essentially unusable because it's not grandfathered in anymore like it was for him. So | 00:14:54 | |
that kind of was the motivation. | 00:14:58 | |
We've been told, you know, this is the first step is to try to get this rezone and that any kind of plan we would make going | 00:15:03 | |
forward would be subject to review and comment. And you know, that's what we tried to make clear. So we don't really know what to | 00:15:08 | |
do yet. I don't think the. | 00:15:14 | |
Studio itself is usable as a residence because it's not built on a foundation. I think it's on a pad. | 00:15:19 | |
But we haven't looked in that. So anyway that's just our plan that kind of what motivated it. As far as some background, we | 00:15:26 | |
obviously believe we're going to now you know if this is approved we would then. | 00:15:31 | |
Look into different options and that would still be subject to comment and review on any of the concerns that have been raised on | 00:15:37 | |
other issues so. | 00:15:41 | |
But happy to answer any questions if there are any. | 00:15:46 | |
Any questions for Mr. Lewis? | 00:15:51 | |
OK. | 00:15:54 | |
Yeah, stick around. We'll. | 00:15:56 | |
Did you want to make? | 00:15:59 | |
Why don't we, why don't we open up the public hearing and maybe you come up during the public hearing. So I'm going to open the | 00:16:02 | |
public hearing. It's open. | 00:16:06 | |
Come on up. | 00:16:12 | |
Just remember to give us your name and address please. | 00:16:18 | |
Aidan Bradney 1922 E 5600 S. | 00:16:21 | |
Good evening everyone. I was here at the last meeting. | 00:16:28 | |
And what the young lady said about the rats was true, but there were also multiple families. | 00:16:31 | |
Who were opposed to the change significantly and we are one of them because we are the next door neighbors. | 00:16:37 | |
To that, we've never had any issues with rats. The lady from the HOA from that big. | 00:16:45 | |
Housing property, she had problem with rats and the condition of it, but for the most part it's ourselves and then the people that | 00:16:50 | |
own properties and live on Nation's Way, which is the road to yeah, directly there. | 00:16:57 | |
So there is a major issue with the rezoning. One is we have a beautiful Mountain View as it stands right now from our backyard, we | 00:17:05 | |
can see the mountains and that's the reason that we came to Salt Lake City and we wanted that in our lives. I believe that that | 00:17:13 | |
would potentially disappear. The other thing is changing it to the rezoning, it is going to change the population density and I | 00:17:21 | |
don't think the infrastructure actual like plumbing infrastructure as well as the infrastructure of the neighborhood can. | 00:17:29 | |
Withstand that influx of people where and especially the motor vehicles. | 00:17:37 | |
Assuming that each house typically has two vehicles, the parking down there would be pretty horrendous because the entrance Rd. | 00:17:42 | |
which is directly from my property to the existing property of the Lewis's is like an 8 foot wide lane. So how they would even get | 00:17:49 | |
a cement truck down there to build, no idea. Fire trucks out of the question. So there's a lot of issues that yeah, that we stand | 00:17:56 | |
behind and we're going to oppose it all the way. | 00:18:03 | |
Thank you. | 00:18:11 | |
Hello, my name is Sean O'Brien I I own the property just just to the West, directly West. | 00:18:26 | |
Of the proposed rezoning right next to Gemma Aiden, who just spoke. | 00:18:32 | |
And so I just have maybe a couple questions and then I'll issue my concerns. To go from R210R one 10110 R 210, what would be the | 00:18:38 | |
maximum density there? How many units would would you allow on a .44 acre? Well, we typically don't get in the big back and forth | 00:18:45 | |
during public hearing, but I think what Kerry said was 3. | 00:18:53 | |
Three would be the Max. | 00:19:02 | |
OK, I get that right, Carrie. | 00:19:05 | |
OK, that's right. Three. OK. And what would be the maximum height? | 00:19:09 | |
I think 32 feet. | 00:19:14 | |
It's the same, yeah. | 00:19:17 | |
32 No change in item. I know that the holiday cottages are 42 feet. | 00:19:19 | |
They originally were planned to be 32 feet. So what happened with that? That's RM. That's a different zone. | 00:19:26 | |
Pardon me, Is that the property just to the east, just right up here just north of 45th and 23rd? | 00:19:33 | |
I'm talking, oh, you're talking about a whole different property altogether. I know we are. But originally it was 32 feet. It's a | 00:19:39 | |
different zone, I know. But originally I've got, I've got the, the, the, the meeting minutes and it was 32 feet. I could be wrong, | 00:19:45 | |
but now I know it's 42 feet. So that's a concern I have, you know? Well, yeah, I mean, I want to kind of avoid getting in a big | 00:19:51 | |
back and forth here, but. | 00:19:57 | |
The R210 zone which the applicant is applying for has a height restriction of 32 feet, correct? So that's it. OK, OK, that's all | 00:20:04 | |
right. Well, my concerns are. | 00:20:09 | |
The entire atmosphere and the value of my property. So that's a big concern. I just think it's kind of unfair to change the zoning | 00:20:48 | |
at this stage of the game, You know, when we've invested and we have a certain. | 00:20:56 | |
Certain atmosphere there. | 00:21:03 | |
So, and then I guess that would be my main concern, changing the zoning right now, how it will affect us, it'll it'll affect us | 00:21:07 | |
greatly. | 00:21:11 | |
You can imagine if you have a beautiful backyard and the big wall, imagine what we have at holiday cages, you know, maybe not 42 | 00:21:16 | |
feet, but 32 feet straight across. So, so that's my concern. I, I get, you know, I, it's wonderful. He wants to do something. I | 00:21:22 | |
just don't know if I like the idea of doubling the density. | 00:21:28 | |
In fact, his dad taught my all my daughter's piano. So I know that I know that area. It's a great, great memories and stuff. But I | 00:21:34 | |
think it will really negatively affect my property and the neighbor's property. I'd love to be could just stick with R110, build a | 00:21:40 | |
duplex back there, whatever. But I just think it's, I think it's kind of unfair for a homeowner that's owned it for, I think I've | 00:21:46 | |
owned it for. | 00:21:52 | |
Probably 1215 years and that was built prior to that. It's going to completely change everything. | 00:21:59 | |
So I guess that's my biggest concern. | 00:22:06 | |
Thank you. OK, Thank you. | 00:22:10 | |
Anybody else for? | 00:22:23 | |
The public hearing. | 00:22:25 | |
OK, there being an I'm going to actually close this public hearing then. And for those that are here, this item you'll see on the | 00:22:30 | |
agenda in the work session will be discussed again. | 00:22:35 | |
Across the hall, once we recess to work session, you can hear it's an open meeting so you can hear the Council's discussion on the | 00:22:41 | |
application. | 00:22:44 | |
Thank you. | 00:22:48 | |
Item number 5 is the public hearing on proposed budget amendments for fiscal year 2324, which is this year, which is about to end | 00:22:51 | |
the end of this month. So Gina will review those with us and then we'll open up the public hearing. So there are a few changes | 00:22:59 | |
that are being proposed starting in the general fund. In the general fund, we're recognizing a some donations for our lighting for | 00:23:08 | |
our skate park, about $28,000. On the expense side, you'll see that money being contributed to the grant account. | 00:23:16 | |
And then in the grant account at $28,000 of donation is being combined with some grant revenue that we received from Salt Lake | 00:23:25 | |
County. | 00:23:31 | |
For $77,000, which is what we spent on our new skate park lighting. | 00:23:38 | |
You'll also see $72,000 coming from Salt Lake County Health Department. This is our opioid settlement money and before you adopt | 00:23:46 | |
next. | 00:23:51 | |
Week, I think we're going to adjust that number down to match the expense side, which will we anticipate spending in this year and | 00:23:57 | |
you'll see that on the expense side, salaries and wages of about $4100 in office supplies, so totaling $5000. That is for our | 00:24:06 | |
public health coordinator who will be starting next week. | 00:24:14 | |
And then we're proposing the use of about $30,000 of fund balance for several expenses. That includes increases in the cost of | 00:24:24 | |
utilities, increases in insurance and those two items together we we expect to be about $30,000 over budget this year between the | 00:24:32 | |
two of them. | 00:24:39 | |
We also have. | 00:24:48 | |
Incurred additional building inspection contract costs and that was due to we had an employee, our building inspector was. | 00:24:52 | |
Out for a period of time and then subsequently resigned and we needed to fill that service in with inspection. So you're seeing a | 00:25:06 | |
reduction from community development employee benefits and salaries and wages and an increase in that building inspection | 00:25:12 | |
contract. | 00:25:18 | |
Those are the changes in the general fund. Any questions there before I move on? | 00:25:26 | |
OK. In terms of the capital projects fund? | 00:25:32 | |
We are showing a. | 00:25:38 | |
Change in how? | 00:25:42 | |
How we funded a crosswalk project that happened in front of the Wasatch Waldorf. So we are reflecting that money coming into the | 00:25:44 | |
city, about $300,000. | 00:25:51 | |
And then on the expense side? | 00:25:59 | |
We have about a $250,000 worth of expenses. | 00:26:03 | |
Our revenues and expenses matched. | 00:26:09 | |
But we had about $50,000 of expenses in the prior year. | 00:26:11 | |
In fiscal 2223. | 00:26:17 | |
In the grants fund, we have talked about our contributions and our skate park TRCC grant for expenses of $77,000. | 00:26:24 | |
Any questions I can answer on the budget amendment? | 00:26:36 | |
OK, no questions, Regina. OK, very well, we'll open the public hearing on proposed budget amendments for the fiscal year 2023-2024 | 00:26:45 | |
budget public hearing is open. | 00:26:50 | |
Anybody to address the Council on the budget amendments? | 00:26:55 | |
There being then we'll close the public hearing and we'll place this on the June 13 agenda for vote and we'll move right now to | 00:27:00 | |
the proposed fiscal year 2024-2025 budget. This is for the entire budget for next year. | 00:27:07 | |
Anything Gina? Any clarifying information or comments? | 00:27:16 | |
No, the budget includes a number of funds and I think we'll have a separate public hearing in a moment from the RDA perspective, | 00:27:25 | |
but this public hearing includes general fund, storm water Grants fund, arts fund. | 00:27:35 | |
And debt service. | 00:27:46 | |
And capital projects? | 00:27:47 | |
Any questions for Gina before we open the public hearing? OK, Public hearing is now open. | 00:27:50 | |
Anybody to address the Council on the proposed fiscal year 2024-2025 budget? | 00:27:57 | |
OK, there being then we'll close this public hearing and we'll move to item number seven. This is a public hearing on these are | 00:28:07 | |
two new items that have been mandated by state legislature, I believe. Yeah. So, Mayor, I don't know, you had indicated you wanted | 00:28:12 | |
to leave that budget. | 00:28:17 | |
Hearing open. | 00:28:23 | |
I do. | 00:28:26 | |
I'm going to reopen going back to item number six. Thank you, Gina, and I apologize. | 00:28:30 | |
We anticipate, and I have my note right there too, but we anticipate there's some changes that are going to occur over the week | 00:28:37 | |
with maybe some new growth numbers and some movement in in the UPD budget and any final tweaks that we might make to the budget | 00:28:45 | |
that will post for vote and the fact that we may make some changes to it. We think it's important that we leave the public hearing | 00:28:52 | |
open in case residents want to comment. So with that, I would like to reopen the public hearing on proposed fiscal year. | 00:28:59 | |
2024-2025 Budgets and leave the public hearing open. | 00:29:07 | |
Okay. | 00:29:12 | |
Thank you. | 00:29:13 | |
Thanks. | 00:29:15 | |
Umm, so we have two public hearings. The first, item number seven, is a public hearing on proposed changes. | 00:29:17 | |
To the city's compensation schedule. It's inside your packet. Any questions from City Council on the schedule? | 00:29:23 | |
There being then we'll open this public hearing, anybody to address the council on the compensation posted compensation schedule. | 00:29:34 | |
There being then we'll close this public hearing and move on to item number 8, the public hearing on executive municipal officers | 00:29:42 | |
compensation increase. | 00:29:46 | |
Also in the packet inside the same table highlighted in yellow, any questions from Council on the officers compensation increase | 00:29:50 | |
schedule? | 00:29:55 | |
There being none will open this public hearing anybody to address the Council on the Municipal Officers compensation increase | 00:30:03 | |
schedule? | 00:30:06 | |
There being then, we'll close this public hearing and move on to item number 9. This is consideration of Resolution 2024-20, | 00:30:13 | |
authorizing designated individuals as signatures on various financial accounts. Essentially, we have two accounts here in the | 00:30:20 | |
city, ones with Zions and ones with Holiday Bank and Trust. This adds signatories on the accounts for Zions of myself, Gina | 00:30:26 | |
Chambers, Holly Smith, Paul Fotheringham and Drew Quinn, and on Holiday Bank and Trust's account, myself, Gina Chambers, Paul | 00:30:33 | |
Fotheringham and Holly Smith. | 00:30:40 | |
Any questions for Gina before we take a motion? | 00:30:47 | |
Do you want me to make it since you're on there? Doesn't matter, Mr. Mayor, I would move approval of resolution #2024-20 | 00:30:58 | |
authorizing designated individuals as signatories for the various financial accounts. Second. OK, we have a motion and a second | 00:31:05 | |
council member Gray, yes. Council member Quinn, yes. Council member Fotheringham Council member Durham, Yes. Council member | 00:31:13 | |
Brewer, yes. And chair vote. Just those signatories are approved and we are on the financial report item number 10. | 00:31:20 | |
City Manager Gina Chambers. | 00:31:28 | |
So I'll start with a financial report and then I have a couple of other things to tell the Council about. | 00:31:35 | |
Overall, our financial report. | 00:31:42 | |
Through May, through the end of May shows us in good shape in terms of both revenues and expenses. So property tax, our largest | 00:31:45 | |
single source of revenue, although closely followed by sales tax. | 00:31:54 | |
This is a a source that's really collected once a year and so after our final settlement with the county where we're just slightly | 00:32:05 | |
below. | 00:32:11 | |
The level that we had budgeted about $100,000 less in terms of property taxes than we had anticipated in our budget. | 00:32:17 | |
In terms of sales tax, the number that you see is actual through 530 reflects 5 months of actuals. We've received, I'm sorry, | 00:32:26 | |
seven months of actuals. So there are five additional months of sales tax, which will eventually see. Two of those months for a | 00:32:36 | |
technical reason have not been presented here. But we do have that money and we're tracking I would say, about $100,000. | 00:32:45 | |
Less than budget. | 00:32:56 | |
In terms of sales tax, it's a better position than I thought we were going to be in a few months ago. And it it's really the | 00:32:58 | |
reason why we're keeping sales tax consistent and not increasing it at all in in the fiscal 25 budget. | 00:33:06 | |
Franchise taxes. | 00:33:15 | |
Through May, knowing that we have three additional months of franchise revenue to come in, we're at 100% of budget. So we expect | 00:33:18 | |
that will will exceed budget by another 150,000 and then other taxes. | 00:33:28 | |
Through May were at nearly 100%. | 00:33:39 | |
In terms of other sources of revenue, business licenses, building permits? | 00:33:43 | |
And other licenses and permits all are tracking fairly consistent with budget. I'll just point out our intergovernmental revenue | 00:33:49 | |
number had appeared. | 00:33:55 | |
Had appeared a little low, but we've received a $300,000 distribution from the state this week, which will take us a. | 00:34:03 | |
Up to budget. So overall in terms of revenue, I think we're tracking really well other revenue, you'll see that 494% above budget | 00:34:13 | |
that is interest. We're at about a almost $1,000,000 just in interest collected through this year, which far exceeds what we had | 00:34:23 | |
budgeted. Justice Court revenue, good news there, tracking very well against budget. | 00:34:34 | |
And that's the first time in a long time I've been able to say that. | 00:34:45 | |
On the expense side, departments overall are tracking very well against budget with a couple of exceptions that we've just talked | 00:34:50 | |
about. The City Hall budget I. | 00:34:56 | |
Through five through May is over budget, that's really utilities and insurance and is part of the reason for that budget amendment | 00:35:03 | |
that you've seen and then building inspection also tracking about budget. | 00:35:10 | |
Any questions? | 00:35:20 | |
Gina just I'm not looking at the budget for this year, but the I know we. | 00:35:23 | |
We're more aggressive on that interest line in the upcoming budget. So is it pretty much match? | 00:35:31 | |
What we're producing right now, it does not. So I took that number up, but not knowing what's going to happen in terms of interest | 00:35:37 | |
rates, I didn't keep it at the same level we're seeing this year. And that's something we can certainly talk about if you'd like | 00:35:44 | |
to be more aggressive in that projection. But yeah, I would like to. | 00:35:52 | |
Well, I guess my question would be that we actually have a number here of what we're like that's an actual. | 00:36:02 | |
Interest revenue that we have accumulated. And so I'm assuming most of that's coming off our fund balance, which I don't | 00:36:11 | |
anticipate changing too much. So I think we'd be probably pretty safe to try to align our interest revenue, get it as close as we | 00:36:17 | |
can for next year. I think I want to say it was like 4 or 500,000 or something, and maybe it should be closer to a million, I | 00:36:23 | |
don't know. But it's something I'd love to take a look at bottom line and that's something I'd be happy to look at over the next | 00:36:29 | |
week. | 00:36:35 | |
And we can, we can make an adjustment next. Yeah, OK. | 00:36:41 | |
On that other taxes revenue line item, can you just elaborate a little bit on that, you know where we're at budget essentially in | 00:36:46 | |
May and can you just explain a little bit more and it's not nothing either 480 grand or whatever it was. | 00:36:52 | |
So I. | 00:36:59 | |
So were you looking at the other revenue line, the 477? Yeah, other taxes. So my recollection and and I apologize without looking | 00:37:02 | |
at the the financial statement. I I can't recall off the top of my head, but I think most of that is delinquent property taxes and | 00:37:11 | |
other other categories of property taxes where where it comes in once a year and it's not something we'd anticipate to continue to | 00:37:19 | |
go through that. That's right. So it is so if you. | 00:37:27 | |
And that typically happens a lot with refinancing where maybe someone hasn't paid their property tax. | 00:37:36 | |
For a number of years and then pays in one lump sum that shows up in that other tax delinquent tax item. We try and keep that | 00:37:41 | |
property tax line item. | 00:37:47 | |
Consistent with the certified tax rate. So it's easy for you to go from one to another and not mix those delinquent taxes with it. | 00:37:54 | |
Thank you. | 00:38:02 | |
There are no other questions about the financial report. I had a few other items to update the council about. | 00:38:07 | |
1st is the mayor mentioned earlier. 4th of July is coming right up. We had our first meeting about the event spanning from | 00:38:15 | |
breakfast until fireworks and just wanted to alert the council to one change. | 00:38:26 | |
So this year we are we will have a mass gathering permit for that event and and that will necessitate because of the the fireworks | 00:38:38 | |
we were going to need to close the playground earlier than we have in past years. So our plan is to keep it open through the | 00:38:48 | |
breakfast and then close the playground at noon because that that area is part of the restricted area for fireworks. | 00:38:58 | |
And our fireworks placement starts at about noon that day. | 00:39:08 | |
So that that's a change. And I know for parents who gather early for our concerts, that is likely to be a disappointment, but | 00:39:13 | |
there is there's a good reason we're doing that to keep that restricted area. | 00:39:21 | |
Safe. | 00:39:28 | |
Gina, we're going to be posting some signs to that effect. So we're posting signs and we'll be sharing. | 00:39:31 | |
Hopefully it won't be a Big Lots of sorry, sorry, sorry, but. | 00:39:36 | |
If you like fireworks. | 00:39:42 | |
We are in the process of applying for some track funding. | 00:39:46 | |
For this building and in particular for part of the remodel, as we look at the Big Cottonwood Room or what we're calling the Big | 00:39:54 | |
Cottonwood Room now, we are going to apply. If the council is on board with this concept, would like to apply for $50,000 to help | 00:40:01 | |
to engage a theater consultant. | 00:40:09 | |
To help us. | 00:40:17 | |
Redesign that space so that I. | 00:40:20 | |
It is, and Holly, if I'm saying anything incorrectly, please let me know. But I think what we want to do is make that space more | 00:40:26 | |
functional for both theater and other exhibit experiences. | 00:40:33 | |
And So what our plan would be is to engage that theater consultant this year, integrate that plan into the building remodel and | 00:40:41 | |
then hopefully apply for funding next year as part of the overall building remodel project. | 00:40:50 | |
Any concerns about that idea? | 00:41:01 | |
I do have some good, really good news about the fund, potential funding for this building's remodel project. We've been notified | 00:41:06 | |
by Representative Curtis's office that he will be supporting a $2,000,000 earmark for seismic reinforcement for this building. | 00:41:16 | |
That is, depending on how you look at the numbers, either 1/4. | 00:41:26 | |
Or. | 00:41:37 | |
Between 20 and 25% of the overall cost, which is fantastic. | 00:41:39 | |
Could you reset that? How much was the earmark? 2,000,000 dollars, 02 million. OK, yeah. | 00:41:46 | |
So that he will be suggesting and including that in the House Appropriations Committees. | 00:41:50 | |
Bill, that will eventually become part of the budget. As we know from last year, that process can take a while. | 00:41:58 | |
So I think what that means at a really practical level is that it's likely that our project here will be delayed. But certainly | 00:42:07 | |
for that level of funding, I think it's it's worth it. So that is fantastic news and we really thank Representative Curtis for | 00:42:16 | |
thinking of our project and supporting it in this way, particularly since he had supported our Highland Dr. project last year. | 00:42:26 | |
One thing that I also wanted to let the council know, and I think the mayor mentioned this earlier, both the this project and our | 00:42:38 | |
Spring Lane project are more expensive than I think I would have said they were going to be three months ago. And so we had | 00:42:46 | |
anticipated that tonight I would be coming to you with some proposed budget changes for both projects to be included in the budget | 00:42:53 | |
you adopt next week. | 00:43:01 | |
At this point, I think my recommendation is to stick with what's in the tentative budget that includes $350,000 for continued | 00:43:09 | |
design work on this building, but nothing additional. As a staff, what would like to do is think about both of those projects | 00:43:16 | |
timelines and then bring you some funding options later in the summer for both projects so you can look at that holistically | 00:43:23 | |
together. | 00:43:30 | |
I hope the Council is is good with that. | 00:43:38 | |
Yeah, I think we need to we have a chance to take a look at that the Spring Lane numbers as a council and. | 00:43:42 | |
But that is. | 00:43:50 | |
Great news on the earmark. | 00:43:52 | |
Because you know this is going to be an expensive project, we get to help with the seismic piece. | 00:43:57 | |
That's going to be big if we can get that. So that's great news. You mentioned a delay though. | 00:44:02 | |
In terms of waiting for that legislation. | 00:44:10 | |
Umm, how does that affect other timelines with regard to substitute places that we've? | 00:44:13 | |
Talked about. So I think that that that remains an open question, but I think the timeline may no longer align, although we | 00:44:21 | |
haven't conveyed that to. | 00:44:27 | |
We haven't conveyed that and I think we would just. | 00:44:34 | |
Have to see what happens. | 00:44:38 | |
But I think what you're saying is it would be wise for us at this point to kind of. | 00:44:41 | |
Stall for a little bit. We have we kind of have our numbers, we generally have our numbers on what this is going to cost and the | 00:44:47 | |
scope. | 00:44:51 | |
But it would be wise for us to wait for the federal process to. | 00:44:56 | |
Run its course. And if we indeed do win that award, that's a big. | 00:45:02 | |
Piece of the project. It kind of changes how we'll approach this. I think that's right. | 00:45:09 | |
So I think it's worth waiting. I think last time we had to wait, it has to go through the House and then the Senate and it was | 00:45:16 | |
like a eight or nine month process. | 00:45:20 | |
Yeah, I mean theoretically. | 00:45:24 | |
That Congress should adopt A budget by October 1st. That hasn't happened for many years, and it sure isn't going to happen this | 00:45:28 | |
year. | 00:45:32 | |
Right. So yeah, it's probably going to be a. I mean, it might just. | 00:45:37 | |
Stall us for a year, but. | 00:45:42 | |
It's worth waiting for. And my recollection too was getting the congressman support was the biggest step in the process. So that | 00:45:45 | |
was that was big that Congressman Curtis supported included it in his earmarks, right. And that is my understanding as well. | 00:45:54 | |
Certainly anything can happen. It will be subject to negotiations, but this was a really great first step and good sign for us. | 00:46:03 | |
I'm all for giving back as much money from Washington DC as. | 00:46:15 | |
OK. All right. Thank you. Thanks, Gina. | 00:46:21 | |
All right, Emily, you want to start on council reports? | 00:46:24 | |
Well, I feel like I'm kind of a broken record a little bit thinking John and Jared. Although Jared's not here, John has continued | 00:46:31 | |
to work tirelessly to help with. | 00:46:37 | |
The property that was detonated, and he's been working a lot with residents and trying to get that property cleaned up. | 00:46:44 | |
And really grateful to him and know that that's ending up being trickier than we thought. And so appreciate him. And then there's | 00:46:52 | |
a lot of repaving work going on in my district right now, which is short term inconvenient, and long term, we're very, very | 00:46:58 | |
grateful. So I just wanted to thank Jared, even though he's not here for that. | 00:47:05 | |
And I would like to also thank the engineers, Joe Bolton and particularly I was. | 00:47:15 | |
I was contacted by a resident who's who lives on 27th East and many of you know we have a sidewalk. | 00:47:24 | |
Project that's going on right now it's a three-year project and this is a the constituent that contacted me was in Phase 2 and so | 00:47:32 | |
he hadn't been contacted directly yet because he his property won't be involved until next year. But he had just re landscaped his | 00:47:39 | |
yard and so he was understandably a little bit dismayed that it was going to we were going to come in and and rip it all up but I | 00:47:46 | |
just want to ask Joe he went up to his house and worked with him and. | 00:47:54 | |
Laid out exactly what was going to happen in the timeline and everything, and the constituent was very grateful for that help from | 00:48:01 | |
the city. So we have a great staff, everyone. | 00:48:06 | |
Another thanks. We, there's a home in my district that's been problematic for several years. They use their front yard as a | 00:48:11 | |
parking lot and it's quite unsightly and Detective Dallas who is our ordinance control officer has been up there several times | 00:48:20 | |
talking with them, but he pointed out to me that we really don't have an ordinance that. | 00:48:29 | |
Prohibits parking. | 00:48:39 | |
Inland, you know, in a front yard. And so I contacted John Tier Link and he made some suggestions regarding possible codification, | 00:48:41 | |
for example, creating a landscape definition that would change. | 00:48:49 | |
That would somehow limit the amount of front yard you could use for parking and something like that. So that is something. | 00:48:58 | |
That I would like to pursue, John, if that. | 00:49:05 | |
Is OK with you I think that's timely in light of the fact that we're talking about this Adu ordinance and the fact that there will | 00:49:09 | |
be required additional off street parking we I think we would all like the fact that we. | 00:49:16 | |
Cars would be parked on some sort of a pad or. | 00:49:24 | |
Concrete or crushed something? Crushed rock of some sort rather than on the grass constantly so. | 00:49:28 | |
Thank you to staff for that as well. | 00:49:36 | |
Just briefly, tomorrow is the Children's Theater at 11:30 here in this building. | 00:49:41 | |
Hope you see you there. | 00:49:46 | |
I don't think we've said enough about Travis Jones yet, so I wanted to just take a minute and thank him for his service on on our | 00:49:50 | |
tree committee. He was one of our founding members of the tree committee and he's been the the chair for the last several years. | 00:49:56 | |
The, the thing that is kind of amazing about Travis is he kind of does it all. He has the ideas, he helps plan, he helps | 00:50:02 | |
implement, he loads the trailer, he unloads the trailer. He really has been a great example of leadership and I think we'll really | 00:50:08 | |
miss. | 00:50:14 | |
His participation and commitment on the TREE Committee and we wish him the best. | 00:50:22 | |
The only thing I have to report on would be. | 00:50:31 | |
The light initiative continues and I am, you know, Jared been great as far as working with some of the local residents and, and, | 00:50:34 | |
and just to try it so that we can be good neighbors to to try to address concerns of some that have been expressed. But we're | 00:50:42 | |
looking forward to and maybe Gina, maybe you could just mention, I don't know where that stands exactly as to when we anticipate | 00:50:49 | |
those being turned on, but I think we're pretty close to there, right. | 00:50:56 | |
Yeah, OK. | 00:51:05 | |
We're going to do it nighttime dry run we did do. Yeah, we did. I actually met with Jared and actually Jared wasn't an eye, but I | 00:51:06 | |
met with that resident that night and he just commented on how how great it was and appreciated the collaborative effort and. | 00:51:14 | |
Still a couple of minor concerns I think, but I think it all looks workable and should be good. | 00:51:22 | |
Awesome. | 00:51:28 | |
I don't have anything. | 00:51:31 | |
So I think we would need a motion to recess and convene an RDA. | 00:51:33 | |
So moved. | 00:51:41 | |
Second, all in favor? Aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:51:42 | |
OK, we're recessed and I'll pass the baton down to our RDA chair. | 00:51:47 | |
OK. | 00:51:52 | |
Welcome everybody, as we convene our. | 00:51:54 | |
As we convene our meeting of the Holiday Redevelopment Agency, just by way of reminder this, it's by state statute that all of the | 00:52:02 | |
members of the City Council constitute the board of the Redevelopment Agency. There's really one main item of business for tonight | 00:52:07 | |
and that is. | 00:52:11 | |
To open to hold a public hearing with respect to the 2024-2025 budget. And so at this time, I would open an invitation to anybody | 00:52:17 | |
that would like to comment on that and we would consider that public hearing open at this time. If you have a comment, please come | 00:52:23 | |
forward. | 00:52:29 | |
Seeing none, we will close the public hearing on the proposed fiscal year 202425. | 00:52:39 | |
Budget, I don't believe there are any other items of business. | 00:52:45 | |
Correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Chair, move to adjourn RDA and reconvene in a work session. | 00:52:49 | |
Motion by the Council member fathering him to adjourn and 2nd. | 00:52:56 | |
By Councilmember Gray. | 00:53:00 | |
We've considered the Redevelopment Agency. Meeting adjourned. | 00:53:03 | |
You devote that. | 00:53:08 | |
OK. All right. We are going to take a minute or two. | 00:53:09 |

OK. | 00:00:32 | |
Welcome everybody. We're going to call to order the City of Holiday City Council meeting on Thursday, June 6th, and we'll start | 00:00:33 | |
with the pledge. | 00:00:37 | |
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, | 00:00:45 | |
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. | 00:00:52 | |
OK. Thank you. | 00:01:04 | |
Before we open up public comment, I did mention something across the hall, but it sounds like John made a presentation down the | 00:01:09 | |
tree committee meeting earlier. But I. | 00:01:15 | |
And we'll be talking to all of you when we get to the work session. But I would like to say an open meeting that we'll be losing | 00:01:22 | |
Travis, who's been on our tree committee and chaired the tree committee for a number of years. | 00:01:27 | |
And really grown it to be a really effective committee inside the city and we've got quite a few of them now. | 00:01:33 | |
All you've done for us and wish you nothing but the best up in Oregon and and go go east of the Cascades. Go to Bend, not to | 00:02:16 | |
Eugene. | 00:02:22 | |
If you get a choice, unless you love rain, in which case go to Eugene. | 00:02:28 | |
OK, So that'll bring us to public comment before I open up public comment. We do have five public hearings tonight. So if anybody | 00:02:33 | |
is here to address the city on any of the public hearings, I would ask you to wait till we open up that particular public hearing. | 00:02:40 | |
Those public hearings have are a rezone on 5600 S budget amendments for this year and the proposed fiscal year budget for next | 00:02:46 | |
year and then public hearings on changes to the city's compensation schedule and and municipal officers compensation increases | 00:02:53 | |
schedule. | 00:03:00 | |
So if you're here to comment on any of those, just wait till I get to that public hearing then and then feel free to comment once | 00:03:08 | |
we open that up. | 00:03:11 | |
If you're here to comment on anything other than those five public hearings. | 00:03:16 | |
Now is the time we'll have Trudy go 1st and she'll show you how it's done, name and address, and we ask that you just try to keep | 00:03:22 | |
it to 3 minutes or less if you can, please. | 00:03:27 | |
I'm tree from the library and I've got some things I want to hand out if that's OK, Sure OK. | 00:03:33 | |
I'm sure it's non controversial coming from the library. | 00:03:41 | |
Oh, is there coloring involved? | 00:03:46 | |
And now I congratulate all of you on signing up for summer reading. You're setting a great example. | 00:03:56 | |
As you can see. | 00:04:02 | |
It's not just reading anymore. You can read, create, learn, play, and connect. You can do one of each of those activities every | 00:04:04 | |
day, and for each one of those activities that you do, you color in or mark off one of those icons at the bottom. Once you get | 00:04:10 | |
them all colored in or marked off, you bring the sheet back to the library. You get a free book, you get to enter into our prize | 00:04:16 | |
drawings, and you get some coupons to get money off on some fun activities. You have until July 31st to get this done if you | 00:04:22 | |
finish early. | 00:04:27 | |
You can come in, we've got a bonus round that you can sign up for called Ticket to Read, and you can earn up to three more free | 00:04:34 | |
books. And for each of these, because you can do this three times and each time you do it, you get 7 more entries into the prize | 00:04:39 | |
drawing it increases your chances. | 00:04:44 | |
So that's what the biggest fun at the library is for the for the month of June. I do want to highlight some of our story times | 00:04:50 | |
because they're going to be pretty exciting. We've got little tiny animals coming on Tuesday the 11th. We have a fire truck coming | 00:04:58 | |
on the 18th, and we have a puppet show on the 25th of June for the 10:15 Tuesday story time. And Stephanie has worked with us | 00:05:05 | |
really wonderfully to get us some story times at the gazebo starting in July. So we're excited about those. | 00:05:12 | |
And that is what's happening at the library. Can I answer any questions, any questions for Trudy? | 00:05:20 | |
Happy reading. All right. Thank you very much. | 00:05:28 | |
Anybody else for public comment coming up? | 00:05:35 | |
Let me let me explain what's going on. My daughter can't be here because she's at a work meeting. She's at 1866 Beaumont Circle. | 00:05:42 | |
I'm her father. And she asked me to speak on the proposed Adu ordinance changes. Is it OK? Yeah. Name and address, please. OK. My | 00:05:50 | |
name is Luke Montoya. Her name is Amanda Mendenhall, 1866 Beaumont Circle. And she wanted me to. | 00:05:58 | |
Comment on this because the Adu in our case actually is an effort to take care of a family member. My grandson contracted some | 00:06:07 | |
pretty severe health issues after COVID, contracting COVID in addition to his epilepsy, in addition to a permanent heart defect. | 00:06:15 | |
And so he's not really going to be able to live on his own. So the Adu ordinance changes are going to affect possibly what my | 00:06:22 | |
daughter is going to be able to do in the way of accommodating him, giving him a space to live and a place to work. | 00:06:30 | |
The main issue is that the 10 foot set back doesn't seem to give city officials any flexibility in making adjustments for setbacks | 00:06:39 | |
and other other criteria for smaller properties in this case. | 00:06:49 | |
We have. It's a little over 1/4 of an acre of lot. | 00:06:59 | |
And I would like to build a small Adu. It's it's going to be fairly small. And so we'd like to put a, a small loft in it, which | 00:07:03 | |
may come into problem for because of the size of the lot, but it's kind of important because. | 00:07:10 | |
The living level will basically be just enough to live on and he's going to be working out of this this his home basically. | 00:07:18 | |
So we'd like to have some flexibility for city officials when they're receiving these requests for Adus. Now, these are external | 00:07:27 | |
Adus that I'm talking about to be able to make adjustments in cases where it makes sense. In this case that the property backs to | 00:07:35 | |
a canal, there's no one behind it, The vegetation is very mature. It literally blocks the Adu, the proposed Adu, from the | 00:07:43 | |
neighbors, from anybody behind it. | 00:07:50 | |
There's really not going to be a privacy concern, even though it's a smaller lot. | 00:07:59 | |
That really won't be an issue. There's just no way the neighbor can even see this unit from their house. And there's in this case | 00:08:05 | |
there's even a garage that's in the way. So to have a rigid template set back or to have a rigid 2 story requirement would | 00:08:11 | |
basically make it impossible to build a unit that would accommodate if my grandson in a way that wouldn't affect any neighbor or | 00:08:17 | |
anyone else. | 00:08:23 | |
So those are the two things. Just basically flexibility on the 10 foot set back that's more important for smaller lots. It's good | 00:08:31 | |
that the that the City Council has decided to make these Adus for only family, not for rental or whatever and we support that, but | 00:08:37 | |
in this case on a smaller lot. | 00:08:43 | |
It's going to be really hard to accommodate the family member because of the size of the lot. Now. There's also a lot of mature | 00:08:51 | |
trees. If we have that Ridge of 10 foot set back, we're probably going to have to take out a very valuable shade tree from the | 00:08:56 | |
yard. It's going to change the nature of the lot. | 00:09:01 | |
The only other exception would be if we can't get. | 00:09:07 | |
Some adjustment or some flexibility and the height or the OR the? | 00:09:12 | |
Set back under unique circumstances. | 00:09:18 | |
Then at least maybe carve out an exception for properties that are not going to, but other residences, you know, where you got | 00:09:23 | |
open field behind you, canals or whatnot. And so that's that's what we're hoping that there will be some flexibility building to | 00:09:30 | |
whatever ordinance pass that will allow city officials to accommodate these unique lots, these irregularly shaped lots and help | 00:09:36 | |
get the most out of the use of the property. | 00:09:43 | |
For family members. | 00:09:51 | |
Thank you. OK, thanks. Yeah, interesting because the public hearing on this Adu is closed. But just for the record, we do have. | 00:09:52 | |
A a submission from your daughter that is in the hands of all the, I don't know what that means Todd, in terms of, but we have it | 00:10:04 | |
and it's pretty detailed and details what you've talked about. And I would assume we would probably talk a little bit about that | 00:10:11 | |
when we're working through the Adu. We continue to work through the Adu ordinance in the. | 00:10:17 | |
Work session which we will be doing tonight. You're welcome to stay for that discussion. That's an open meeting discussion we | 00:10:25 | |
have. But I just wanted you to know that we have the document, all the Council members have the document that was forward that | 00:10:31 | |
kind of covers what your concerns are as it relates to the ordinance. All right, thank you. | 00:10:37 | |
And anybody else for public comment? | 00:10:44 | |
OK. It doesn't appear that we have anybody else for public comment, so I'll close public comment and move on to item number four. | 00:10:51 | |
And this is a proposed hearing on the rezone at 1932 E, 5600 S from R110 to R210. The staff report was written by Kerry Marsh. | 00:10:58 | |
It's in the packet. | 00:11:05 | |
As I stated across the hall, this seemed, at least to me, to be a pretty straightforward application. We'll have Carrie come over | 00:11:13 | |
and just kind of cover the high points with the council and then we'll take it from there. | 00:11:18 | |
Great. Thank you, Mayor. So this is a requested rezone for an R110 zone to an R210 zone. It's located at 1932 E 5600 S, just West | 00:11:28 | |
of Highland Drive. | 00:11:36 | |
It is a larger property. It's .44 acres, just shy of being able to subdivide into two parcels, I think by about 835 square feet. | 00:11:47 | |
It is on a wide arterial road, 66 feet wide. | 00:11:59 | |
It's exterior to a neighborhood and properties around the the proposed rezone are all zoned as either R2 with a much higher | 00:12:04 | |
density RM on the corner of Highland and 5600 S. | 00:12:11 | |
That's AI believe that one zip assisted care center. So the context of all the surrounding properties are listed in the staff | 00:12:19 | |
report. | 00:12:24 | |
And overall this would enable a total net gain of two dwelling units in addition to the existing one. If 3 units were on the | 00:12:31 | |
property, I would result in about 6389 square feet of land per unit. | 00:12:40 | |
Doing single family detached units within an R210 zone. | 00:12:50 | |
Are there any questions on it or that I can answer? | 00:12:58 | |
Was there much activity in terms of public comment at the Planning Commission? | 00:13:04 | |
We had multiple comments. Most people were neighbors that were concerned with the care of the property or condition of the | 00:13:10 | |
property. | 00:13:15 | |
Those issues were addressed with code enforcement. Our code enforcement officer went out to the property and you know, closed out | 00:13:21 | |
their case that they had existing before. Most of the issues were with rats. The canal is just West of the of this property, so | 00:13:27 | |
not with the rezone percentage. The rats issue was. | 00:13:32 | |
Everywhere by by the canals, so but nothing that would affect a rezone. | 00:13:39 | |
Thank you. | 00:13:45 | |
Anything else for Carrie, the applicants here? I don't know if you want to address the council. | 00:13:47 | |
You're welcome to. | 00:13:54 | |
I'll say a couple words. Sure. Thank you, Matthew Lewis. | 00:13:56 | |
This is my parents home that they lived in. I think they bought it in 1991 or 1992. My dad used the back. If you saw the picture | 00:14:01 | |
from before, there was kind of an outbuilding there on the property when he purchased it. I think the building was being used as a | 00:14:08 | |
kind of lock or door hardware manufacturing facility actually. And then. | 00:14:16 | |
He taught you, converted it into a music studio, taught out of it for um. | 00:14:26 | |
I guess almost 30 years till he passed away five years ago so. | 00:14:31 | |
My sister tried to. | 00:14:36 | |
Kind of talk about maybe using that as a business again with city officials and then that was denied. So really we have this | 00:14:39 | |
building there that's. | 00:14:43 | |
That's kind of what we're trying to address is some kind of way to improve the property. | 00:14:48 | |
But because it looks like that building is essentially unusable because it's not grandfathered in anymore like it was for him. So | 00:14:54 | |
that kind of was the motivation. | 00:14:58 | |
We've been told, you know, this is the first step is to try to get this rezone and that any kind of plan we would make going | 00:15:03 | |
forward would be subject to review and comment. And you know, that's what we tried to make clear. So we don't really know what to | 00:15:08 | |
do yet. I don't think the. | 00:15:14 | |
Studio itself is usable as a residence because it's not built on a foundation. I think it's on a pad. | 00:15:19 | |
But we haven't looked in that. So anyway that's just our plan that kind of what motivated it. As far as some background, we | 00:15:26 | |
obviously believe we're going to now you know if this is approved we would then. | 00:15:31 | |
Look into different options and that would still be subject to comment and review on any of the concerns that have been raised on | 00:15:37 | |
other issues so. | 00:15:41 | |
But happy to answer any questions if there are any. | 00:15:46 | |
Any questions for Mr. Lewis? | 00:15:51 | |
OK. | 00:15:54 | |
Yeah, stick around. We'll. | 00:15:56 | |
Did you want to make? | 00:15:59 | |
Why don't we, why don't we open up the public hearing and maybe you come up during the public hearing. So I'm going to open the | 00:16:02 | |
public hearing. It's open. | 00:16:06 | |
Come on up. | 00:16:12 | |
Just remember to give us your name and address please. | 00:16:18 | |
Aidan Bradney 1922 E 5600 S. | 00:16:21 | |
Good evening everyone. I was here at the last meeting. | 00:16:28 | |
And what the young lady said about the rats was true, but there were also multiple families. | 00:16:31 | |
Who were opposed to the change significantly and we are one of them because we are the next door neighbors. | 00:16:37 | |
To that, we've never had any issues with rats. The lady from the HOA from that big. | 00:16:45 | |
Housing property, she had problem with rats and the condition of it, but for the most part it's ourselves and then the people that | 00:16:50 | |
own properties and live on Nation's Way, which is the road to yeah, directly there. | 00:16:57 | |
So there is a major issue with the rezoning. One is we have a beautiful Mountain View as it stands right now from our backyard, we | 00:17:05 | |
can see the mountains and that's the reason that we came to Salt Lake City and we wanted that in our lives. I believe that that | 00:17:13 | |
would potentially disappear. The other thing is changing it to the rezoning, it is going to change the population density and I | 00:17:21 | |
don't think the infrastructure actual like plumbing infrastructure as well as the infrastructure of the neighborhood can. | 00:17:29 | |
Withstand that influx of people where and especially the motor vehicles. | 00:17:37 | |
Assuming that each house typically has two vehicles, the parking down there would be pretty horrendous because the entrance Rd. | 00:17:42 | |
which is directly from my property to the existing property of the Lewis's is like an 8 foot wide lane. So how they would even get | 00:17:49 | |
a cement truck down there to build, no idea. Fire trucks out of the question. So there's a lot of issues that yeah, that we stand | 00:17:56 | |
behind and we're going to oppose it all the way. | 00:18:03 | |
Thank you. | 00:18:11 | |
Hello, my name is Sean O'Brien I I own the property just just to the West, directly West. | 00:18:26 | |
Of the proposed rezoning right next to Gemma Aiden, who just spoke. | 00:18:32 | |
And so I just have maybe a couple questions and then I'll issue my concerns. To go from R210R one 10110 R 210, what would be the | 00:18:38 | |
maximum density there? How many units would would you allow on a .44 acre? Well, we typically don't get in the big back and forth | 00:18:45 | |
during public hearing, but I think what Kerry said was 3. | 00:18:53 | |
Three would be the Max. | 00:19:02 | |
OK, I get that right, Carrie. | 00:19:05 | |
OK, that's right. Three. OK. And what would be the maximum height? | 00:19:09 | |
I think 32 feet. | 00:19:14 | |
It's the same, yeah. | 00:19:17 | |
32 No change in item. I know that the holiday cottages are 42 feet. | 00:19:19 | |
They originally were planned to be 32 feet. So what happened with that? That's RM. That's a different zone. | 00:19:26 | |
Pardon me, Is that the property just to the east, just right up here just north of 45th and 23rd? | 00:19:33 | |
I'm talking, oh, you're talking about a whole different property altogether. I know we are. But originally it was 32 feet. It's a | 00:19:39 | |
different zone, I know. But originally I've got, I've got the, the, the, the meeting minutes and it was 32 feet. I could be wrong, | 00:19:45 | |
but now I know it's 42 feet. So that's a concern I have, you know? Well, yeah, I mean, I want to kind of avoid getting in a big | 00:19:51 | |
back and forth here, but. | 00:19:57 | |
The R210 zone which the applicant is applying for has a height restriction of 32 feet, correct? So that's it. OK, OK, that's all | 00:20:04 | |
right. Well, my concerns are. | 00:20:09 | |
The entire atmosphere and the value of my property. So that's a big concern. I just think it's kind of unfair to change the zoning | 00:20:48 | |
at this stage of the game, You know, when we've invested and we have a certain. | 00:20:56 | |
Certain atmosphere there. | 00:21:03 | |
So, and then I guess that would be my main concern, changing the zoning right now, how it will affect us, it'll it'll affect us | 00:21:07 | |
greatly. | 00:21:11 | |
You can imagine if you have a beautiful backyard and the big wall, imagine what we have at holiday cages, you know, maybe not 42 | 00:21:16 | |
feet, but 32 feet straight across. So, so that's my concern. I, I get, you know, I, it's wonderful. He wants to do something. I | 00:21:22 | |
just don't know if I like the idea of doubling the density. | 00:21:28 | |
In fact, his dad taught my all my daughter's piano. So I know that I know that area. It's a great, great memories and stuff. But I | 00:21:34 | |
think it will really negatively affect my property and the neighbor's property. I'd love to be could just stick with R110, build a | 00:21:40 | |
duplex back there, whatever. But I just think it's, I think it's kind of unfair for a homeowner that's owned it for, I think I've | 00:21:46 | |
owned it for. | 00:21:52 | |
Probably 1215 years and that was built prior to that. It's going to completely change everything. | 00:21:59 | |
So I guess that's my biggest concern. | 00:22:06 | |
Thank you. OK, Thank you. | 00:22:10 | |
Anybody else for? | 00:22:23 | |
The public hearing. | 00:22:25 | |
OK, there being an I'm going to actually close this public hearing then. And for those that are here, this item you'll see on the | 00:22:30 | |
agenda in the work session will be discussed again. | 00:22:35 | |
Across the hall, once we recess to work session, you can hear it's an open meeting so you can hear the Council's discussion on the | 00:22:41 | |
application. | 00:22:44 | |
Thank you. | 00:22:48 | |
Item number 5 is the public hearing on proposed budget amendments for fiscal year 2324, which is this year, which is about to end | 00:22:51 | |
the end of this month. So Gina will review those with us and then we'll open up the public hearing. So there are a few changes | 00:22:59 | |
that are being proposed starting in the general fund. In the general fund, we're recognizing a some donations for our lighting for | 00:23:08 | |
our skate park, about $28,000. On the expense side, you'll see that money being contributed to the grant account. | 00:23:16 | |
And then in the grant account at $28,000 of donation is being combined with some grant revenue that we received from Salt Lake | 00:23:25 | |
County. | 00:23:31 | |
For $77,000, which is what we spent on our new skate park lighting. | 00:23:38 | |
You'll also see $72,000 coming from Salt Lake County Health Department. This is our opioid settlement money and before you adopt | 00:23:46 | |
next. | 00:23:51 | |
Week, I think we're going to adjust that number down to match the expense side, which will we anticipate spending in this year and | 00:23:57 | |
you'll see that on the expense side, salaries and wages of about $4100 in office supplies, so totaling $5000. That is for our | 00:24:06 | |
public health coordinator who will be starting next week. | 00:24:14 | |
And then we're proposing the use of about $30,000 of fund balance for several expenses. That includes increases in the cost of | 00:24:24 | |
utilities, increases in insurance and those two items together we we expect to be about $30,000 over budget this year between the | 00:24:32 | |
two of them. | 00:24:39 | |
We also have. | 00:24:48 | |
Incurred additional building inspection contract costs and that was due to we had an employee, our building inspector was. | 00:24:52 | |
Out for a period of time and then subsequently resigned and we needed to fill that service in with inspection. So you're seeing a | 00:25:06 | |
reduction from community development employee benefits and salaries and wages and an increase in that building inspection | 00:25:12 | |
contract. | 00:25:18 | |
Those are the changes in the general fund. Any questions there before I move on? | 00:25:26 | |
OK. In terms of the capital projects fund? | 00:25:32 | |
We are showing a. | 00:25:38 | |
Change in how? | 00:25:42 | |
How we funded a crosswalk project that happened in front of the Wasatch Waldorf. So we are reflecting that money coming into the | 00:25:44 | |
city, about $300,000. | 00:25:51 | |
And then on the expense side? | 00:25:59 | |
We have about a $250,000 worth of expenses. | 00:26:03 | |
Our revenues and expenses matched. | 00:26:09 | |
But we had about $50,000 of expenses in the prior year. | 00:26:11 | |
In fiscal 2223. | 00:26:17 | |
In the grants fund, we have talked about our contributions and our skate park TRCC grant for expenses of $77,000. | 00:26:24 | |
Any questions I can answer on the budget amendment? | 00:26:36 | |
OK, no questions, Regina. OK, very well, we'll open the public hearing on proposed budget amendments for the fiscal year 2023-2024 | 00:26:45 | |
budget public hearing is open. | 00:26:50 | |
Anybody to address the Council on the budget amendments? | 00:26:55 | |
There being then we'll close the public hearing and we'll place this on the June 13 agenda for vote and we'll move right now to | 00:27:00 | |
the proposed fiscal year 2024-2025 budget. This is for the entire budget for next year. | 00:27:07 | |
Anything Gina? Any clarifying information or comments? | 00:27:16 | |
No, the budget includes a number of funds and I think we'll have a separate public hearing in a moment from the RDA perspective, | 00:27:25 | |
but this public hearing includes general fund, storm water Grants fund, arts fund. | 00:27:35 | |
And debt service. | 00:27:46 | |
And capital projects? | 00:27:47 | |
Any questions for Gina before we open the public hearing? OK, Public hearing is now open. | 00:27:50 | |
Anybody to address the Council on the proposed fiscal year 2024-2025 budget? | 00:27:57 | |
OK, there being then we'll close this public hearing and we'll move to item number seven. This is a public hearing on these are | 00:28:07 | |
two new items that have been mandated by state legislature, I believe. Yeah. So, Mayor, I don't know, you had indicated you wanted | 00:28:12 | |
to leave that budget. | 00:28:17 | |
Hearing open. | 00:28:23 | |
I do. | 00:28:26 | |
I'm going to reopen going back to item number six. Thank you, Gina, and I apologize. | 00:28:30 | |
We anticipate, and I have my note right there too, but we anticipate there's some changes that are going to occur over the week | 00:28:37 | |
with maybe some new growth numbers and some movement in in the UPD budget and any final tweaks that we might make to the budget | 00:28:45 | |
that will post for vote and the fact that we may make some changes to it. We think it's important that we leave the public hearing | 00:28:52 | |
open in case residents want to comment. So with that, I would like to reopen the public hearing on proposed fiscal year. | 00:28:59 | |
2024-2025 Budgets and leave the public hearing open. | 00:29:07 | |
Okay. | 00:29:12 | |
Thank you. | 00:29:13 | |
Thanks. | 00:29:15 | |
Umm, so we have two public hearings. The first, item number seven, is a public hearing on proposed changes. | 00:29:17 | |
To the city's compensation schedule. It's inside your packet. Any questions from City Council on the schedule? | 00:29:23 | |
There being then we'll open this public hearing, anybody to address the council on the compensation posted compensation schedule. | 00:29:34 | |
There being then we'll close this public hearing and move on to item number 8, the public hearing on executive municipal officers | 00:29:42 | |
compensation increase. | 00:29:46 | |
Also in the packet inside the same table highlighted in yellow, any questions from Council on the officers compensation increase | 00:29:50 | |
schedule? | 00:29:55 | |
There being none will open this public hearing anybody to address the Council on the Municipal Officers compensation increase | 00:30:03 | |
schedule? | 00:30:06 | |
There being then, we'll close this public hearing and move on to item number 9. This is consideration of Resolution 2024-20, | 00:30:13 | |
authorizing designated individuals as signatures on various financial accounts. Essentially, we have two accounts here in the | 00:30:20 | |
city, ones with Zions and ones with Holiday Bank and Trust. This adds signatories on the accounts for Zions of myself, Gina | 00:30:26 | |
Chambers, Holly Smith, Paul Fotheringham and Drew Quinn, and on Holiday Bank and Trust's account, myself, Gina Chambers, Paul | 00:30:33 | |
Fotheringham and Holly Smith. | 00:30:40 | |
Any questions for Gina before we take a motion? | 00:30:47 | |
Do you want me to make it since you're on there? Doesn't matter, Mr. Mayor, I would move approval of resolution #2024-20 | 00:30:58 | |
authorizing designated individuals as signatories for the various financial accounts. Second. OK, we have a motion and a second | 00:31:05 | |
council member Gray, yes. Council member Quinn, yes. Council member Fotheringham Council member Durham, Yes. Council member | 00:31:13 | |
Brewer, yes. And chair vote. Just those signatories are approved and we are on the financial report item number 10. | 00:31:20 | |
City Manager Gina Chambers. | 00:31:28 | |
So I'll start with a financial report and then I have a couple of other things to tell the Council about. | 00:31:35 | |
Overall, our financial report. | 00:31:42 | |
Through May, through the end of May shows us in good shape in terms of both revenues and expenses. So property tax, our largest | 00:31:45 | |
single source of revenue, although closely followed by sales tax. | 00:31:54 | |
This is a a source that's really collected once a year and so after our final settlement with the county where we're just slightly | 00:32:05 | |
below. | 00:32:11 | |
The level that we had budgeted about $100,000 less in terms of property taxes than we had anticipated in our budget. | 00:32:17 | |
In terms of sales tax, the number that you see is actual through 530 reflects 5 months of actuals. We've received, I'm sorry, | 00:32:26 | |
seven months of actuals. So there are five additional months of sales tax, which will eventually see. Two of those months for a | 00:32:36 | |
technical reason have not been presented here. But we do have that money and we're tracking I would say, about $100,000. | 00:32:45 | |
Less than budget. | 00:32:56 | |
In terms of sales tax, it's a better position than I thought we were going to be in a few months ago. And it it's really the | 00:32:58 | |
reason why we're keeping sales tax consistent and not increasing it at all in in the fiscal 25 budget. | 00:33:06 | |
Franchise taxes. | 00:33:15 | |
Through May, knowing that we have three additional months of franchise revenue to come in, we're at 100% of budget. So we expect | 00:33:18 | |
that will will exceed budget by another 150,000 and then other taxes. | 00:33:28 | |
Through May were at nearly 100%. | 00:33:39 | |
In terms of other sources of revenue, business licenses, building permits? | 00:33:43 | |
And other licenses and permits all are tracking fairly consistent with budget. I'll just point out our intergovernmental revenue | 00:33:49 | |
number had appeared. | 00:33:55 | |
Had appeared a little low, but we've received a $300,000 distribution from the state this week, which will take us a. | 00:34:03 | |
Up to budget. So overall in terms of revenue, I think we're tracking really well other revenue, you'll see that 494% above budget | 00:34:13 | |
that is interest. We're at about a almost $1,000,000 just in interest collected through this year, which far exceeds what we had | 00:34:23 | |
budgeted. Justice Court revenue, good news there, tracking very well against budget. | 00:34:34 | |
And that's the first time in a long time I've been able to say that. | 00:34:45 | |
On the expense side, departments overall are tracking very well against budget with a couple of exceptions that we've just talked | 00:34:50 | |
about. The City Hall budget I. | 00:34:56 | |
Through five through May is over budget, that's really utilities and insurance and is part of the reason for that budget amendment | 00:35:03 | |
that you've seen and then building inspection also tracking about budget. | 00:35:10 | |
Any questions? | 00:35:20 | |
Gina just I'm not looking at the budget for this year, but the I know we. | 00:35:23 | |
We're more aggressive on that interest line in the upcoming budget. So is it pretty much match? | 00:35:31 | |
What we're producing right now, it does not. So I took that number up, but not knowing what's going to happen in terms of interest | 00:35:37 | |
rates, I didn't keep it at the same level we're seeing this year. And that's something we can certainly talk about if you'd like | 00:35:44 | |
to be more aggressive in that projection. But yeah, I would like to. | 00:35:52 | |
Well, I guess my question would be that we actually have a number here of what we're like that's an actual. | 00:36:02 | |
Interest revenue that we have accumulated. And so I'm assuming most of that's coming off our fund balance, which I don't | 00:36:11 | |
anticipate changing too much. So I think we'd be probably pretty safe to try to align our interest revenue, get it as close as we | 00:36:17 | |
can for next year. I think I want to say it was like 4 or 500,000 or something, and maybe it should be closer to a million, I | 00:36:23 | |
don't know. But it's something I'd love to take a look at bottom line and that's something I'd be happy to look at over the next | 00:36:29 | |
week. | 00:36:35 | |
And we can, we can make an adjustment next. Yeah, OK. | 00:36:41 | |
On that other taxes revenue line item, can you just elaborate a little bit on that, you know where we're at budget essentially in | 00:36:46 | |
May and can you just explain a little bit more and it's not nothing either 480 grand or whatever it was. | 00:36:52 | |
So I. | 00:36:59 | |
So were you looking at the other revenue line, the 477? Yeah, other taxes. So my recollection and and I apologize without looking | 00:37:02 | |
at the the financial statement. I I can't recall off the top of my head, but I think most of that is delinquent property taxes and | 00:37:11 | |
other other categories of property taxes where where it comes in once a year and it's not something we'd anticipate to continue to | 00:37:19 | |
go through that. That's right. So it is so if you. | 00:37:27 | |
And that typically happens a lot with refinancing where maybe someone hasn't paid their property tax. | 00:37:36 | |
For a number of years and then pays in one lump sum that shows up in that other tax delinquent tax item. We try and keep that | 00:37:41 | |
property tax line item. | 00:37:47 | |
Consistent with the certified tax rate. So it's easy for you to go from one to another and not mix those delinquent taxes with it. | 00:37:54 | |
Thank you. | 00:38:02 | |
There are no other questions about the financial report. I had a few other items to update the council about. | 00:38:07 | |
1st is the mayor mentioned earlier. 4th of July is coming right up. We had our first meeting about the event spanning from | 00:38:15 | |
breakfast until fireworks and just wanted to alert the council to one change. | 00:38:26 | |
So this year we are we will have a mass gathering permit for that event and and that will necessitate because of the the fireworks | 00:38:38 | |
we were going to need to close the playground earlier than we have in past years. So our plan is to keep it open through the | 00:38:48 | |
breakfast and then close the playground at noon because that that area is part of the restricted area for fireworks. | 00:38:58 | |
And our fireworks placement starts at about noon that day. | 00:39:08 | |
So that that's a change. And I know for parents who gather early for our concerts, that is likely to be a disappointment, but | 00:39:13 | |
there is there's a good reason we're doing that to keep that restricted area. | 00:39:21 | |
Safe. | 00:39:28 | |
Gina, we're going to be posting some signs to that effect. So we're posting signs and we'll be sharing. | 00:39:31 | |
Hopefully it won't be a Big Lots of sorry, sorry, sorry, but. | 00:39:36 | |
If you like fireworks. | 00:39:42 | |
We are in the process of applying for some track funding. | 00:39:46 | |
For this building and in particular for part of the remodel, as we look at the Big Cottonwood Room or what we're calling the Big | 00:39:54 | |
Cottonwood Room now, we are going to apply. If the council is on board with this concept, would like to apply for $50,000 to help | 00:40:01 | |
to engage a theater consultant. | 00:40:09 | |
To help us. | 00:40:17 | |
Redesign that space so that I. | 00:40:20 | |
It is, and Holly, if I'm saying anything incorrectly, please let me know. But I think what we want to do is make that space more | 00:40:26 | |
functional for both theater and other exhibit experiences. | 00:40:33 | |
And So what our plan would be is to engage that theater consultant this year, integrate that plan into the building remodel and | 00:40:41 | |
then hopefully apply for funding next year as part of the overall building remodel project. | 00:40:50 | |
Any concerns about that idea? | 00:41:01 | |
I do have some good, really good news about the fund, potential funding for this building's remodel project. We've been notified | 00:41:06 | |
by Representative Curtis's office that he will be supporting a $2,000,000 earmark for seismic reinforcement for this building. | 00:41:16 | |
That is, depending on how you look at the numbers, either 1/4. | 00:41:26 | |
Or. | 00:41:37 | |
Between 20 and 25% of the overall cost, which is fantastic. | 00:41:39 | |
Could you reset that? How much was the earmark? 2,000,000 dollars, 02 million. OK, yeah. | 00:41:46 | |
So that he will be suggesting and including that in the House Appropriations Committees. | 00:41:50 | |
Bill, that will eventually become part of the budget. As we know from last year, that process can take a while. | 00:41:58 | |
So I think what that means at a really practical level is that it's likely that our project here will be delayed. But certainly | 00:42:07 | |
for that level of funding, I think it's it's worth it. So that is fantastic news and we really thank Representative Curtis for | 00:42:16 | |
thinking of our project and supporting it in this way, particularly since he had supported our Highland Dr. project last year. | 00:42:26 | |
One thing that I also wanted to let the council know, and I think the mayor mentioned this earlier, both the this project and our | 00:42:38 | |
Spring Lane project are more expensive than I think I would have said they were going to be three months ago. And so we had | 00:42:46 | |
anticipated that tonight I would be coming to you with some proposed budget changes for both projects to be included in the budget | 00:42:53 | |
you adopt next week. | 00:43:01 | |
At this point, I think my recommendation is to stick with what's in the tentative budget that includes $350,000 for continued | 00:43:09 | |
design work on this building, but nothing additional. As a staff, what would like to do is think about both of those projects | 00:43:16 | |
timelines and then bring you some funding options later in the summer for both projects so you can look at that holistically | 00:43:23 | |
together. | 00:43:30 | |
I hope the Council is is good with that. | 00:43:38 | |
Yeah, I think we need to we have a chance to take a look at that the Spring Lane numbers as a council and. | 00:43:42 | |
But that is. | 00:43:50 | |
Great news on the earmark. | 00:43:52 | |
Because you know this is going to be an expensive project, we get to help with the seismic piece. | 00:43:57 | |
That's going to be big if we can get that. So that's great news. You mentioned a delay though. | 00:44:02 | |
In terms of waiting for that legislation. | 00:44:10 | |
Umm, how does that affect other timelines with regard to substitute places that we've? | 00:44:13 | |
Talked about. So I think that that that remains an open question, but I think the timeline may no longer align, although we | 00:44:21 | |
haven't conveyed that to. | 00:44:27 | |
We haven't conveyed that and I think we would just. | 00:44:34 | |
Have to see what happens. | 00:44:38 | |
But I think what you're saying is it would be wise for us at this point to kind of. | 00:44:41 | |
Stall for a little bit. We have we kind of have our numbers, we generally have our numbers on what this is going to cost and the | 00:44:47 | |
scope. | 00:44:51 | |
But it would be wise for us to wait for the federal process to. | 00:44:56 | |
Run its course. And if we indeed do win that award, that's a big. | 00:45:02 | |
Piece of the project. It kind of changes how we'll approach this. I think that's right. | 00:45:09 | |
So I think it's worth waiting. I think last time we had to wait, it has to go through the House and then the Senate and it was | 00:45:16 | |
like a eight or nine month process. | 00:45:20 | |
Yeah, I mean theoretically. | 00:45:24 | |
That Congress should adopt A budget by October 1st. That hasn't happened for many years, and it sure isn't going to happen this | 00:45:28 | |
year. | 00:45:32 | |
Right. So yeah, it's probably going to be a. I mean, it might just. | 00:45:37 | |
Stall us for a year, but. | 00:45:42 | |
It's worth waiting for. And my recollection too was getting the congressman support was the biggest step in the process. So that | 00:45:45 | |
was that was big that Congressman Curtis supported included it in his earmarks, right. And that is my understanding as well. | 00:45:54 | |
Certainly anything can happen. It will be subject to negotiations, but this was a really great first step and good sign for us. | 00:46:03 | |
I'm all for giving back as much money from Washington DC as. | 00:46:15 | |
OK. All right. Thank you. Thanks, Gina. | 00:46:21 | |
All right, Emily, you want to start on council reports? | 00:46:24 | |
Well, I feel like I'm kind of a broken record a little bit thinking John and Jared. Although Jared's not here, John has continued | 00:46:31 | |
to work tirelessly to help with. | 00:46:37 | |
The property that was detonated, and he's been working a lot with residents and trying to get that property cleaned up. | 00:46:44 | |
And really grateful to him and know that that's ending up being trickier than we thought. And so appreciate him. And then there's | 00:46:52 | |
a lot of repaving work going on in my district right now, which is short term inconvenient, and long term, we're very, very | 00:46:58 | |
grateful. So I just wanted to thank Jared, even though he's not here for that. | 00:47:05 | |
And I would like to also thank the engineers, Joe Bolton and particularly I was. | 00:47:15 | |
I was contacted by a resident who's who lives on 27th East and many of you know we have a sidewalk. | 00:47:24 | |
Project that's going on right now it's a three-year project and this is a the constituent that contacted me was in Phase 2 and so | 00:47:32 | |
he hadn't been contacted directly yet because he his property won't be involved until next year. But he had just re landscaped his | 00:47:39 | |
yard and so he was understandably a little bit dismayed that it was going to we were going to come in and and rip it all up but I | 00:47:46 | |
just want to ask Joe he went up to his house and worked with him and. | 00:47:54 | |
Laid out exactly what was going to happen in the timeline and everything, and the constituent was very grateful for that help from | 00:48:01 | |
the city. So we have a great staff, everyone. | 00:48:06 | |
Another thanks. We, there's a home in my district that's been problematic for several years. They use their front yard as a | 00:48:11 | |
parking lot and it's quite unsightly and Detective Dallas who is our ordinance control officer has been up there several times | 00:48:20 | |
talking with them, but he pointed out to me that we really don't have an ordinance that. | 00:48:29 | |
Prohibits parking. | 00:48:39 | |
Inland, you know, in a front yard. And so I contacted John Tier Link and he made some suggestions regarding possible codification, | 00:48:41 | |
for example, creating a landscape definition that would change. | 00:48:49 | |
That would somehow limit the amount of front yard you could use for parking and something like that. So that is something. | 00:48:58 | |
That I would like to pursue, John, if that. | 00:49:05 | |
Is OK with you I think that's timely in light of the fact that we're talking about this Adu ordinance and the fact that there will | 00:49:09 | |
be required additional off street parking we I think we would all like the fact that we. | 00:49:16 | |
Cars would be parked on some sort of a pad or. | 00:49:24 | |
Concrete or crushed something? Crushed rock of some sort rather than on the grass constantly so. | 00:49:28 | |
Thank you to staff for that as well. | 00:49:36 | |
Just briefly, tomorrow is the Children's Theater at 11:30 here in this building. | 00:49:41 | |
Hope you see you there. | 00:49:46 | |
I don't think we've said enough about Travis Jones yet, so I wanted to just take a minute and thank him for his service on on our | 00:49:50 | |
tree committee. He was one of our founding members of the tree committee and he's been the the chair for the last several years. | 00:49:56 | |
The, the thing that is kind of amazing about Travis is he kind of does it all. He has the ideas, he helps plan, he helps | 00:50:02 | |
implement, he loads the trailer, he unloads the trailer. He really has been a great example of leadership and I think we'll really | 00:50:08 | |
miss. | 00:50:14 | |
His participation and commitment on the TREE Committee and we wish him the best. | 00:50:22 | |
The only thing I have to report on would be. | 00:50:31 | |
The light initiative continues and I am, you know, Jared been great as far as working with some of the local residents and, and, | 00:50:34 | |
and just to try it so that we can be good neighbors to to try to address concerns of some that have been expressed. But we're | 00:50:42 | |
looking forward to and maybe Gina, maybe you could just mention, I don't know where that stands exactly as to when we anticipate | 00:50:49 | |
those being turned on, but I think we're pretty close to there, right. | 00:50:56 | |
Yeah, OK. | 00:51:05 | |
We're going to do it nighttime dry run we did do. Yeah, we did. I actually met with Jared and actually Jared wasn't an eye, but I | 00:51:06 | |
met with that resident that night and he just commented on how how great it was and appreciated the collaborative effort and. | 00:51:14 | |
Still a couple of minor concerns I think, but I think it all looks workable and should be good. | 00:51:22 | |
Awesome. | 00:51:28 | |
I don't have anything. | 00:51:31 | |
So I think we would need a motion to recess and convene an RDA. | 00:51:33 | |
So moved. | 00:51:41 | |
Second, all in favor? Aye aye. Any opposed? | 00:51:42 | |
OK, we're recessed and I'll pass the baton down to our RDA chair. | 00:51:47 | |
OK. | 00:51:52 | |
Welcome everybody, as we convene our. | 00:51:54 | |
As we convene our meeting of the Holiday Redevelopment Agency, just by way of reminder this, it's by state statute that all of the | 00:52:02 | |
members of the City Council constitute the board of the Redevelopment Agency. There's really one main item of business for tonight | 00:52:07 | |
and that is. | 00:52:11 | |
To open to hold a public hearing with respect to the 2024-2025 budget. And so at this time, I would open an invitation to anybody | 00:52:17 | |
that would like to comment on that and we would consider that public hearing open at this time. If you have a comment, please come | 00:52:23 | |
forward. | 00:52:29 | |
Seeing none, we will close the public hearing on the proposed fiscal year 202425. | 00:52:39 | |
Budget, I don't believe there are any other items of business. | 00:52:45 | |
Correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Chair, move to adjourn RDA and reconvene in a work session. | 00:52:49 | |
Motion by the Council member fathering him to adjourn and 2nd. | 00:52:56 | |
By Councilmember Gray. | 00:53:00 | |
We've considered the Redevelopment Agency. Meeting adjourned. | 00:53:03 | |
You devote that. | 00:53:08 | |
OK. All right. We are going to take a minute or two. | 00:53:09 |
