He noted that his firm was awarded a five-year contract to provide services to Bluffdale City. He met with the City's newly formed Audit Committee in September to kick offthe audit and then again earlier in the week to discuss the Audit results in detail. He was available to answer any questions that arise as the Council members review the full report. The report found that, "In our opinion, the City's financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position ofthe governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, the aggregate remaining fund information of the City as of June 30, 2024, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the respective budgetary comparisons for the General Fund and the major special revenue funds for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America." The City's total net position increased by $17.3 million, primarily due to continued investment in infrastructure and the new Public Works building. The small decrease from the previous year is indicative of statewide trends, and his firm believes the City maintains a strong economic position. The unassigned General Fund balance is capped at 35% ofbudgeted revenues,and Bluffdale's balance is approximately 34%. Mayor Hall clarified that the net increase is in both funds and assets. Mr. Miles stated that the increase is primarily infrastructure and services, not cash. Mr. Miles reported that every governmental auditor is required to gain an understanding ofthe internal controls of each city, and through that process they did not identify any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. The Audit Committee identified some joumal entries that were not finalized, 8 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY,AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday,December 11,2024 but this was due to Bluffdale's position as the first City they audit each year. They may discuss possibly delaying the audit to give Staff more time to finalize the year-end financials. However,the internal controls include a good segregation of duties and management of City funds. The Compliance Report included review ofthe following areas. No findings were identified. Budgetary compliance; Fund balance; Justice court; Restricted taxes; Fraud risk assessment; Government fees; Enterprise Fimd services; and Open and Public Meetings Act. Mr. Miles noted that the Public Safety Fund and Local Building Authority had deficits in unrestricted Fund balance, which would normally be a finding being reported to the State. However,the deficits were or will be corrected. Public Safety Fund expenses were higher than revenues, but it is a new fund so that issue should correct itselfover time. The Local Building Authority deficit was eliminated when bonds were issued in August,2024. Mayor Hall clarified that LBA and RDA meetings will be held regarding the Audit. In response to a question fi-om Council Member Lord, Mr. Miles stated that Finance Director, Dave Sanderson performs final reconciliations and prepares an audit packet. Mr. Sanderson strives to submit that information to HBME by August 31. For the last two years, the State has been slow to remit certain funds, so all the information was not available when the audit process began. Mr. Reid stated that Mr. Sanderson has been with the City for many years and prides himself on getting everything to the auditors in an efficient manner. He does a great job of helping the City remain compliant with its intemal controls. 5. Public Comment.

He was not aware ofthe specific circumstance in South Jordan. Google Fiber is in over 20 cities in Utah, and their goal is to install fiber in as many neighborhoods as possible. In response to a question raised by Council Member Wilding, it was clarified that City Engineer, Michael Fazio or Assistant City Engineer, Addison Mitton will be working with the Google Fiber Liaison. Council Member Lord moved to APPROVE Resolution 2024-81 — Consideration and Vote on Google Fiber Agreement. Council Member Austin seconded the motion. The motion passed with the unanimous consent of the Council. 7.8 Ordinance 2024-30 - Consideration and Vote on Proposed Text Amending Chapter 7.50 of Bluffdale Code. Disposition of Significant Real Property Excludes Conveyance of Non-Perpetual Easement Lease, or License for Public Purpose. (StaffPresenter^ Fred Donaldson), Mr. Donaldson reported that he was recently asked to approve granting an easement to the Jordan Basin Improvement District for a sewer easement on City property at the rodeo grounds. As he reviewed the related City Code, he discovered that the current definition is very broad and includes easements. Some cities exclude all easements from their definition of significant real property because disposition of significant parcels of real property require a public hearing. Mr. Donaldson indicated that the process may not have been followed appropriately in the past because it was assumed that it was not required for utility easements. The proposed Text Amendment would amend the definition of "disposition" to exclude non-perpetual easements, leases, and licenses for public purposes. Perpetual easements for public purposes would still require a vote by the City Council. Council Member Austin moved to APPROVE Ordinance 2024-30- Consideration and Vote on Proposed Text Amending Chapter 7.50 of Bluffdale Code, Disposition of Significant Real Property Excludes Conveyance of Non-Perpetual Easement, Lease, or License for Public Purpose. Council Member Wilding seconded the motion. The motion passed with the unanimous consent of the Council. 14 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY,AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday,December 11,2024 8. Public Hearing Items. 8.1 Ordinance 2024-26- Consideration and Vote on a Proposed Text Amendment to Section 11.110.110 to Allow Satellite Communications Stations in the SD-X Gateway Zone. Applicant. Casey Reno. (StaffPresenter, Caitlvn TubbsX Planning Manager, Caitljni Tubbs presented the Staff Report and stated that the SD-X Gateway Zone covers a six-acre parcel at 383 West 14600 South, which is currently entitled for a full-service hotel and up to 500 residential units. The Text Amendment would adopt the definition of a satellite communications station and allow installations up to 0.5-acres(27,780 square feet)in size in the SD- X Gateway Zone to accommodate a Starlink satellite communications facility at the site. Ms. Tubbs reported that the Planning Commission reviewed the request at a public hearing on October 2, 2024 and requested that the applicant retum at a later date with additional information including the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") call sign of the proposed facility, photographs of the proposed fencing style and similar sites, and a Radiation Impact Analysis. The applicant returned with those items at the November 6,2024 Planning Commission public hearing. The Radiation Impact Analysis indicates that radiation levels will not exceed industry standards as the site currently exists. Higher levels are anticipated within the enclosure. However, that area will not be accessible to the public, and warning signs will be posted as required by the FCC. There will be no onsite employees, and the facility can be remotely powered down to prevent radiation exposure to any employees performing maintenance. The Radiation Impact Analysis reports that radiation may potentially exceed acceptable limits out to a distance of240.8 meters from the main antenna beam at a 25-degree angle, but as the site currently exists, no nearby buildings or terrain would be impacted. If the site is developed in the future, that may impact and be impacted by the signal. The applicant also provided example photographs of similar installations and eight-foot, sight-obscuring metal fencing as originally proposed for this site. The site itself would have a gravel road base with no landscaping. 15 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY,AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday,December 11,2024 Following a public hearing on November 6, 2024, the Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation ofthe proposal and recommended that the City Council consider deliberating on the following items: • That the City obtain a third-party review of the Radiation Impact Analysis. To date, Staff had been unable to obtain a recommendation for third-party review. • That the project be required to meet the existing fencing and landscaping standards for public utility installations. This would require a masonry wall instead of metal, and would also include perimeter landscaping for beautification purposes. • That the City inquire with the City of West Jordan regarding their experience with permitting Starlink facilities. Ms.Tubbs referred to an email received from the West Jordan zoning administrator indicating that the installations were treated as utility substations and went through the Administrative Site Plan and Building Permit processes. The applicant's representative, John Fazio thanked Ms. Tubbs for the report and had no further comments. He hoped to move forward with a positive resolution and was happy to answer questions. Mayor Hall opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Council Member Aston reported that the property is located at the entrance to Bluffdale. It is a challenging parcel. She served on the City Council when the hotel was approved and they did a lot of work to make the development possible. It was her opinion that if the satellite installation were allowed at the entrance to the City, it would make an already challenging parcel even harder to develop, and it would be the first thing people see when they enter Bluffdale. She did not believe it was the appropriate area for the installation. Council Member Austin read from the Radiation Impact Analysis: "The maximum permissible exposure limits for the Ka-band and E-band frequencies used by these gateways are a power density 16 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY,AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday,December 11,2024 equal to 5 mW/cm2 averaged over a six-minute period for controlled exposure, and 1 mW/cm2 averaged over a 30-minute period for the general population." He noted that the near field and far field numbers are calculated for a single antenna, but 40 antennas are proposed for the site, which could put the site over the allowed maximum. He was concerned about radiation exposure for the general public. Mr. Fazio stated that he is not a radio frequency engineer. However, the installations are governed and approved by the FCC. Analyses have been conducted on the federal level and found that installations of like kind with a similar number of antennas are within permissible limits. All firequencies are emitted upward at a 25-degree or larger angle, not outward or downward. Council Member Austin stated that the 25-degree angle is the on-axis listed in the analysis, and the listed off- axis is residual radiation that would affect the population. In response to a question fi*om Council Member Lord, Mr. Fazio clarified that Starlink will lease a portion of the property from the owner, who has indicated that they intend to proceed with the originally approved project. Construction of the hotel would require relocation of the installation, and their long-term plan is to relocate it to the roof of the future hotel building. In response to a follow-up question, Mr. Fazio reported that they initially reached out to several properties within a five-kilometer search area, but either did not receive a response or could not come to terms with those property owners. Council Member Crockett stated that the hotel site also includes a large residential development with three towers. Ms. Tubbs clarified that the site will include 500 residential units, including one tower that does not have a height limit. Council Member Wilding thanked the applicant for putting time, money, and effort into considering the site, as well as City Staff and the Planning Commission for their time and attention to the application. Due to the benefits to the City ifthe original project is developed, he was disinclined to support the request. 17 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY,AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday,December 11,2024 Council Member Aston moved to APPROVE Ordinance 2024-26 — Consideration and Vote on a Proposed Text Amendment to Section 11.110.110 to Allow Satellite Communications Stations in the SD-X Gateway Zone. CouncU Member Austin seconded the motion. Vote on Motion: Council Member Wilding-No, Council Member Crockett-No, Council Member Lord-No, Council Member Austin-No, Council Member Aston-No. The motion failed unanimously. Mayor Hall stated that procedure is to raise and second a motion in the positive, even ifthe motion is likely to fail. 8.2 Ordinance 2024-27- Consideration and Vote on a Proposed Text Amendment to Permit Specific Encroachments into Residential Rear Yard Setbacks Per Utah Code 10-9a-540. Applicant. Bluffdale City. (StaffPresenter^ Caitlvn Tubbs\ Ms. Tubbs presented the Staff Report and stated that the purpose ofthe Text Amendment is to bring City Code into compliance with House Bill 476 enacting Utah Code §10-9a-540, which defines "allowable features" and states that they may be located within residential rear setbacks. Allowable features include: • A landing or walkout porch that: o Is no more than 32 square feet in size; and o Is used for ingress to and egress from the rear ofthe residential dwelling; or • Window wells Staff proposed enactment of Bluffdale City Code § 11.160.310, Projections into Rear Setbacks for Detached Residences, to incorporate the above language into City Ordinance. Mayor Hall opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. Council Member Austin moved to APPROVE Ordinance 2024-27-Consideration and Vote on a Proposed Text Amendment to Permit Specific Encroachments into Residential Rear Yard Setbacks Per Utah Code 10-9a-540. Council Member Wilding seconded the motion.

(StaffPresenter, Ellen Oakman\ Associate City Planner, Ellen Oakman presented the Staff Report and reported that the Resolution pertains to Parcels A and B located at 2495 West 14200 South. The original Santa Rosa Subdivision Plat was recorded in 2004. In 2005, lot line adjustment began. In 2007, the parcel adjustment to effectuate the lot line adjustment occurred. In 2021, the Santa Rosa Amended Subdivision Plat was approved but not recorded. The City Council would be considering the surplus exchange ofthe two properties.

Mayor Hall reported that the subdivision has been in process for 19 years. Mr. Donaldson indicated that the subject property is adjacent to the rodeo grounds, and Parcel B is part ofthe park. CouncU Member Austin moved to APPROVE Resolution 2024-80 — Consideration and Vote to Declare Surplus Property and Exchange Approximately 2495 West 14200 South.

The motion passed unanimously. 8.5 Public Hearing - Consideration and Compensation Increase for Executive Municipal Officers as Required bv SB-91 (2024). (Staff Presenters Fred Donaldson and Bruce Kartchner\ Mayor Hall reported that the above item will be considered in a public hearing but a vote is not required. Mr. Donaldson reported that the Utah State Legislature passed a law in 2024 requiring that a public hearing be held before any governing body adopts a final budget or final budget amendment that includes a compensation increase for an executive municipal officer. It can be held immediately prior to or after the public hearing on the budget or budget amendment. State code defines an executive municipal officer as the city manager, chief administrative officer, assistant city manager, assistant chief administrative officer, city attomey, any individual who is the head or chief of a city 20 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY,AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday,December 11,2024 department or division, or someone who is the chief assistant or deputy of such a department or division. Mr. Kartchner stated that elected and statutory officers have an additional obligation with respect to compensation. Even if a budget adjustment is not required, changes in compensation also require a public hearing. Mr. Donaldson added that elected and statutory officer compensation must be set by ordinance after a public hearing, but not every executive municipal officer is a statutory or elected officer. Mr. Kartchner reported that it was proposed that the City Attorney receive a 4.1% compensation increase as part ofthe budget adjustment. Mr. Reid added that it was his proposal. Mayor Hall opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. 8.6 Resolution 2024-82 - Adopting a Budget Adjustment for the 2025 Fiscal Year Budgetfor All Funds Except the LBA and RDA.(StaffPresenters Fred Donaldson and Stephanie Thaver). ILBA and RDA Public Hearings held in Conjunction]. Mayor Hall stated that the LBA and RDA public hearings would be held in conjunction. Mr. Kartchner reported that the City Budget is finalized in June based on estimates. For example, only eight to nine months of sales tax data is available when the next year's Budget is passed. As actual data is available. Budget Adjustments are required. The proposed Budget Adjustment included wage adjustments to bring salaries in line with the market. Mr. Kartchner noted that the proposed adjustments would only bring salaries to the low end of the market range. A number of employees have received offers from other municipalities or private companies,and the adjustment would allow the City to match those offers or adjust other staffsalaries to bring them in accordance with market rates. Mr. Kartchner stated that franchise taxes are expected to remain above budget, so that additional revenue should cover the salary increases into the future. Bluffdale has the opportunity to receive a grant to construct a fire station near Camp Williams, and an environmental assessment will be required to submit with the grant application. A parcel has been identified and the City is moving forward with the assessment, but it is important to secure the 21 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY,AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday,December 11,2024 property as soon as possible. Public Safety Fund expenditures of approximately $2 million were included in the Budget Adjustment to cover potential purchase of the property, the environmental assessment, and other associated costs. Mr. Reid clarified that the Public Safety Fund is different from the Fire and Police Protection Fund. It is funded through Impact Fees, not taxes or other revenues, and Impact Fee funds have been collected to build a Public Safety building. The current Fund balance will not cover the property purchase and construction, but matching grant funds could allow the project to move forward. Mr. Kartchner stated that certain salaries are allocated amongst multiple funds. For example, the City Attorney's salary is paid through multiple funds like the General Fund and Water Fund. Revenue generated by the Public Safety Fee is deposited directly into the Public Safety Fund and cannot be used for other expenditures. One Fire Department employee increase would be paid through that fund, but all other recommended employee increases will come from other sources. The Police Department has also requested that the records clerks be promoted fi*om part-time to full-time to handle the increased volume of work, which would result in a contract increase of $60,000. That increase would also be paid through the Public Safety Fund, and Staff was confident that no fee increase would be necessary. City Treasurer, Stephanie Thayer presented the Budget Adjustments. General Fund The Salaries and Wages line items for various departments were adjusted to incorporate mid-year pay increases to retain key staff and stay competitive with the market. Salary analyses are conducted periodically to determine if staff are being under- or overpaid, and typically Bluffdale is on the low end of the acceptable salary range. Related benefit costs were also adjusted. The total increase of $98,400 will be offset by a slight increase in fi-anchise tax revenue. Public Safety Impact Fee Fund 22 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY,AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday,December 11,2024 An increase of$2 million for potential land purchase for the future public safety building is included as an offset to the Fund bedance. The item is included in the Impact Fee Facility Plan as a future planned facility. Roads and Bridges Impact Fee Fund A $520,000 adjustment is included for the 13900 South project between 2700 West and 2950 West, which has been underway since 2022. Carryover amounts have been challenging to estimate as Staff believed the project would be completed earlier. The overall project cost has increased due to a change order of $160,000 to change the roundabout material from asphalt to concrete and an additional $70,000 to add landscaping to the roundabout. Capital Projects Fund An additional $11,000 is included to expand the secure evidence room at City Hall. Mr.Reid reported that building has two concrete vaults. Both vaults were given to the Police Department to use as evidence rooms,but the space is now full, and they need an additional Evidence Room. Water Fund A portion of Staff wages allocated to the Water Fund has been applied to the Water Fund. Fire and Police Protection Fund Changes include a market adjustment for one salary, a $14,000 retirement contribution for Tier 2 firefighters, the $60,000 increase to the Police Department contract, and $20,000 to upgrade handheld radios. Mr. Kartchner stated that the Salt Lake Valley Emergency Communications Center is changing the type ofradio being used by emergency services, and Bluffdale was able to obteiin their pricing. The City will save approximately $60,000 by upgrading the radios now. All expenses will be offset by Fund balance. Mayor Hall opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. The public hearing was closed. 23 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY,AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday,December 11,2024 Council Member Lord complimented Staff on the helpful information.

Additional Council Discussion, and Calendaring Items. City Manager, Mark Reid,reported on the following: • The City Council previously discussed renaming the area north of North Star Academy and south of Bangerter Highway as the Wardle Business Park and renaming a road in the area as Wardle Way. It would be a challenge to rename 2700 West due to the number of existing addresses, but it would be possible to rename the road between 2700 West and 2950 West. Council Members Aston, Wilding, and Crockett approved of the idea. Council Member Austin stated that he was hesitant to name the road after a person due to a recent issue. Mayor Hall stated that the name would match Wardle Regional Park. Council Member Lord asked about renaming the road north of Wardle Park, but it was indicated that too many businesses and the school would object to renaming 14000 South. There was a discussion on whether any businesses would be affected by renaming the suggested road. Mayor Hall stated that there was potential support, and asked Staffto further research the matter. 25 BLUFFDALE CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY,AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD MEETING MINUTES Wednesday,December 11,2024 • Over 400 people attended Santa and the Lights, and a Mass Gathering permit is required for over 500 attendees. • The Youth Council replied to 140 Letters to Santa. • He thanked the City Council for their support for the captains and lieutenants.

It was a very professional, exciting process. • They have received requests to extend the Green Waste Program. They cannot extend it this year, but with the Council's support he would like to extend 2025 the contract to December. Council Member Lord stated that the majority of his leaves are not down by the end of November, but he did not know if that was a viable reason to extend the contract. Coimcil Member Crockett noted that it would increase the contract cost. Mr. Reid stated that he discussed the matter with Mr. Leonelli from Waste Management, who indicated that they should be able to do it within the current contract cost.
