BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BLUFFDALE BOARD, REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES \Vednesday,June26,2019 Present: Mayor Derk Timothy \Vendy Aston Travis Higby Dave Kallas Ty Nielsen Boyd Preece Staff: Mark Reid, City Manager Grant Crowell, City Planner/Economic Development Director Bruce Kartchner, Administrative Services Director Michael Fazio, City Engineer Na ta lie Hall, Emergency Preparedness Manager Stephanie Thayer, Accountant/Human Resources Manager Theone Kartchner, Construction/Grading Inspector \Vendy Deppe, City Recorder Others: Traci Crockett, Planning Commission Member and City Council Candidate BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL \VORK MEETING Mayor Derk Timothy called the meeting to order at 6:09 p.m. 1. Roll Call. All Members of the Bluffdale City Council were present. 2. Presentations. a. Discussion Relating to the Logo, Style Guide, and Media Policy for the City of Bluffdale, Staff Presenter, Natalie Hall. Emergency Preparedness Director, Natalie Hall reported that staff recognized there was a problem with the Style Guide when a candidate called asking to use the logo. In the Style Guide, there is nothing that specifically specifies that the logo is for official City use. As a result, now was dete1mined to be an appropriate time to review other media policy in the City or the lack thereof. Ms. Hall made the Council aware that if they are referencing how to use the branding, it is available online and available to the public on the Bluffdale website. Ms. Hall pointed out that the Economic Citizens Committee picked up on the branding used but never saw the Style Guide. In the Style Guide, focus groups were done to determine what is needed in the Style Guide. The new update specifies that designs may only be used for official City BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BLUFFDALE BOARD, REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, June 26, 2019 business. There must be adequate space around the logo and the colors must be those specified in the Style Guide. City Manager, Mark Reid explained that the intent is to get shi1is for the Council Members in time for Old West Days. He presented the two options. Ms. Hall rep01ied that some members of staff have placed the logo on white dress shirts, which is appropriate. When apparel needs to be embroidered, an embroidery machine cannot embroider arou11d the horse on the logo so the horse must be embroidered to match the shirt background. The horse might be embroidered maroon on a maroon shi1i to give the illusion it is the shi1i behind the embroidery. "Life Connected" is also not included on embroidery because it is too small. She displayed samples and explained that they can be on any color as long as the logo is used properly. Ms. Hall repo1ied that Bluffdale City does not have a media policy and due to misuse of the logo, they have looked at creating a media policy. Administrative Services Director, Bruce Kartchner explained that the policy goes beyond just the logo and is broken up into five different areas, which were described. Staff referred to media policies from other jurisdictions and compiled something that makes sense for Bluffdale. Ms. Hall asked that the Council review the media policy and have further discussion about it before passing it via resolution. Dave Kallas asked if the City clarifies who can speak on behalf of the City. Mr. Reid explained the most typical individuals who speak for the City are the Fire Chief after accidents or events and a Police Information Officer from Saratoga Springs. When someone comes to the City, the designated Public Information Officer is Ms. Hall. The Mayor is always next in line because the media often wants to talk to him. Ty Nielsen described recent media coverage that occurred of him at his place of employment. He suggested that someone on staff be trained to handle potentially emotional situations. Mr. Reid commented that Ms. Hall has attended local trainings. Ms. Hall stated that according to the policy, media interaction is under the direction of the City Manager. The City does not officially have a Communications Department. Ms. Hall stated that her degree is in Marketing but it seems to fit well with her current job description. For that reason, she has attended the trainings. Because the City does not have an official Communications Department, Ms. Hall wanted the Council to know the appropriate steps to take when approached by the media. They are also looking at press releases, interviews, the LED sign, the City's website, and social media. The media policy will provide clarity. Staff requested feedback on consistency and communication. Ms. Hall described the two types of data consisting of non-content sensitive media, which includes agendas that are posted automatically and does not need to go through anyone else. Anything that is not a notice would be considered content-sensitive. Ms. Hall reported that within the City are seven or eight social media accounts. The problem is that many have not had legal training on 2 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BLUFFDALE BOARD, REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, June 26, 2019 their responsibilities regarding social media. The City has to be able to archive any content and be able to research it. Anything posted can never be deleted, which is in violation of the law. The policy specifies that content-sensitive media should be approved by the Communications Depaiiment. Ms. Hall c01mnented that the detennination was made that the C01mnunications Department be comprised of the City' s executive team. Guidelines are refen-ed to and written consent is required for any photos that are posted. Ms. Hall suggested that City representatives be sensitive and make sure they are following the law. Policies and procedures regarding the posting of photos were discussed. With regard to campaigns, Mayor Timothy stated that many cities produce professional videos. West Valley City, for example, puts out a video that is professionally done about what is going on every week. Riverton City also hired someone just to do graphics. Mr. Reid also asked Ms. Hall to examine historical infonnation on the City's webpage. Mayor Timothy recommended hiring a professional to help in this respect. With regard to events, Ms. Hall stated that many cities have an employee who handles all communications. She conunented that the Council will need to decide how they want their media, branding, and messaging to go out. Staff's recommendation was that all c01mnunication flow through a department. Ms. Hall stated that staff would need feedback on the policy in order to prepare a resolution. It was suggested that the policy be clarified and specify that while a City Council Member can speak to the media, they are not speaking on behalf of the City. b. Discussion Relating to Passed H.B. 119 - Initiatives, Referenda, and Other Political Activities. Mr. Reid reported that in Bluffdale there are voting precincts that are of varying sizes. Over time they vary greatly. HB 119 specifies that for referendum purposes, it is necessary to divide the City into quadrants. Mr. Kartchner explained that a city Bluffdale's size needs to be divided into four contiguous and compact voter participation areas that are substantially equal in population. The law designates exactly what the City can do in terms of providing infonnation regarding an initiative or bill that is being refen-ed. Once a packet is provided to gather signatures, they then have to gather signatures within the appropriate area. They must have 11.5% of the number of active voters and at least 75% of the participation areas. The rules will apply after January 1, 2020. Staff was in the process of proactively dividing the City into quadrants. Mr. Reid did not recommend making any changes to voter precincts until after the election. 3. Council Discussion. Mayor Timothy reported that he added feedback provided to him on the 2700 West Bangerter Highway rezone to a spreadsheet. The names of persons who submitted comments were placed on a distribution list as well. He explained that it is 1.25-miles from the center of the proposed 3 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BLUFFDALE BOARD, REDEVELOPMENTAGENCYBOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, June 26, 2019 property. Residents in the areas shown in green were supportive of the proposed rezone while the area shown in red was opposed. Dave Kallas overwhelming received negative feedback but after clarifying that it was not 10 units per acre, the response was ove1whelmingly positive. It seemed that citizens on the west side of Redwood Road were responding in greater numbers than those on the east side. The Mayor stated that the numbers included in the newsletter pertained to the responses he received. Mr. Reid commented that as staff, they felt that the entire block should all be commercial with no residential. Mayor Timothy indicated that those who are opposed to the rezoning of residential want commercial but do not want smaller residential. The matter was to be addressed by the Planning Cmmnission at their next meeting. It actually removed land from the commercial designation in the General Plan to achieve the six lots. Mayor Timothy suggested this background infonnation be provided to the Planning Commission since it is important for them to know how the public feels. City Plam1er/Economic Development Director, Grant Crowell stated that the intent is to make the proforma work for development and then identify how to finance the purchase so that they can afford to sell something to Maverik at a rate that will work. If the zoning is not granted, the developers intend to sell the six lots to another builder. Maverik was waiting for the right opportunity. Mayor Timothy commented that the City needs commercial. He had spoken to many who expressed support for commercial. As a result, he did not object to going with one-quarter acre lots but preferred conunercial. Wendy Aston recalled that Benj Becker from Zions Bank advised the City to not be in a rush to develop this particular area. Boyd Preece asked if is necessary for the City to provide infrastructure to make it viable for retail development. Mr. Reid explained that there is a plan showing what the interior will look like that could be discussed. Mayor Timothy believed it would be a mistake not to include a connection behind those properties to the commercial. They need to be open with the developers in that regard. He understood that the neighborhood cmmnercial will never sell with the current restrictions in place. He expected the developers to request a zone change for the commercial piece. If that happens, the City needs to be very clear that they need to provide the infrastructure for the road in the back in exchange for a zone change. 4. Closed Meeting Pursuant to Utah Code §52-4-205(1) to Discuss the Character, Professional Competence, or Health of an Individual, Collective Bargaining, Pending or Imminent Litigation, Strategies to Discuss Real Property Acquisition, Including 4 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BLUFFDALE BOARD, REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, June 26, 2019 any Form of a Water Right or Water Shares, Security Issues, or any Alleged Criminal Misconduct.

PUBLIC FORUM Aaron Pixton gave his address as 15191 South 2700 West and stated that his neighbors play music too long and too loud. Mayor Timothy stated that if they are disturbing the peace after 10:00 p.m. it is in violation of the ordinance. Mayor Timothy urged him to contact the non-emergency police number when it is going on and they will respond. 6 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BLUFFDALE BOARD, REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, June 26, 2019 There were no fmiher public comments. 3. CONSENT AGENDA 3.1 Approval of the May 29, 2019 City Council Special Meeting Minutes. 3.2 Approval of a Resolution Declaring Certain Assets Surplus and Authorizing the Sale of Said Assets. 3.3 Approval of a Resolution Adopting an Amended Style Guide for the City of Bluffdale. 3.4 Approval of a Resolution Amending the Bluffdale City Employee Policies and Procedures Manual Pertaining to Authorized Personal Use of Public Property. Ty Nielsen moved to approve the consent agenda. Wendy Aston seconded the motion. Vote on motion: Travis Higby-Aye, Wendy Aston, Ty Nielsen-Aye, Boyd Preece-Aye, Dave Kallas-Aye. The motion passed unanimously. 4. PUBLIC HEARING- Consideration and Vote on a Resolution Adopting an Amended Budget for the 2018-2019 Fiscal Year, Staff Presenters, Bruce Kartchner and Stephanie Thayer. (LBA and RDA Public Hearings Held in Conjunction). Mr. Kartchner gave an overview of the budget process and reported that the City is required by law to create a balanced budget each year. Throughout the year there are changes that occur and the law allows needed modifications to the budget. The final budget adjustment was presented to the Council for approval. Several estimates were included in the budget because the final numbers were not yet known. Accountant/Human Resources Director, Stephanie Thayer reported that the budget document provided in the Council packet has been updated. One change was to a proposed Mayor's bonus and was pursuant to a recommendation from the City Council. Bank charges and fees were higher than estimated one year ago and had to be adjusted as well. With regard to facilities, they were identified separately from the other utilities recognizing that the other line item will be underspent. Mr. Kartchner explained that it was separated and assigned its own account number in order to track the utilities for the different buildings. Changes to the Fire Department were identified. Overall, they were under budget between Fire and Ambulance. With respect to the Police Shop Charges, Ms. Thayer explained that that line item has to do with vehicles that have been in accidents. The insurance gives the City the total amount for the claim and then the City pays the shop. That was the reason for the adjustment. Under Sanitation, growth was greater than estimated one year ago. 7 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BLUFFDALE BOARD, REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, June 26, 2019 Mr. Katichner explained that staff tracks what is paid out of the General Fund. A number of years ago, they did not budget enough to take out of the General Fund to put in Capital Projects. As a result, there was too much in the General Fund. In order to ensure that that does not happen, they made sure to have an amount on the books that allows them to transfer what they need to. They did not, however, expect it to be $2 million this year. Mr. Kartchner expected it to be between $700,000 and $1.2 million. He described the balancing entry and stated that staff does not expect to re-appropriate any of the fund balance. Any excess will need to be transferred to the Capital Projects Fund. In order for the budget to balance, when they show the $2 million, that will be transferred to Capital Projects, and they must have an offsetting entry. They will either re- approp1iate funds or have excess to be transferred to the Capital Projects Fund. Ms. Thayer next addressed Capital Projects and identified them as: • Solar Panels • Old West Days • Bluffdale Arts Council • Park Impact Fees • Road Impact Fees • Water Fund Meters (a result of expanding the PI system for secondary water) Mr. Reid reported that a budget adjustment will take place at the beginning of the year, typically in May or June, and again in February. There is always a final budget adjustment at the end of each year. Mayor Timothy opened the public heating. There.were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Dave Kallas moved to approve a resolution adopting the Amended Budget for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 presented by staff. Wendy Aston seconded the motion. Vote on motion: Wendy Aston-Aye, Ty Nielsen-Aye, Boyd Preece-Aye, Dave Kallas-Aye, Travis Higby-Aye. The motion passed unanimously. LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BLUFFDALE BOARD MEETING 1.

In the 1ight tum lane, there is still a shoulder and people are going around. Residents have contacted him about it. Mr. Fazio stated that the striping was done as paii of the Simple Products project and approved by UDOT. It was reported that the City will be maintaining it. The thought was that it will be more cost-effective and faster for the City to do the restriping. It was reported that 14600 South was backed up earlier in the day. Dave Kallas commented that when going through the trestle, eastbound traffic is being impacted. He was not sure the matter could be resolved without addressing the trestle bridge. It was noted that once cars pass under the trestle, traffic is congested at the roundabout, which is blocked by cars traveling in the opposite direction. It was described as a drive time problem and does not go on all day. Mayor Timothy suggested changing the timing of the light going westbound at that time of day to let all of the cars go through so that they are not stuck at the roundabout. Mr. Fazio would be meeting with Salt Lake County and will discuss the situation with them. His preference was to have control of the timing of the light. Mayor Timothy suggested they get a traffic count and determine whether to change the timing. 7.
