Other Matters 8.1 Discussion and consideration of ordinance no__ -- adoption of a one percent municipal sales and use tax Mr. Silvestrini explained that the County collects a one percent local sales tax. $9.4 million of Millcreek’s revenue comes from this tax. Once Millcreek is formally incorporated, the County can no longer collect this tax. This ordinance is a mechanism to transfer the tax to Millcreek from the County. Mr. Silvestrini further explained that the state tax commission has acknowledged they have received our notice that the taxes will be going to the City. Pursuant to state law, the taxes go to the previous taxing entity (here, the County) for the first 90 days. State law also provides that the sales tax will go to the Municipal Services District. Millcreek will likely see its first sales tax check in June 2017. MOTION by Mr. Marchant, seconded by Ms. Catten, to adopt the ordinance. Motion carried unanimously. 8.2 Discussion and consideration of adoption of council rules of procedure. Mr. Brems explains he will bring a resolution to the Council at the next meeting to formally adopt the rules. 8.3 Discussion and consideration of resolution no__ -- approving an Interlocal Cooperative Agreement with Salt Lake County for prosecution services Mr. Brems explains that the MSD is supposed to provide these services, but the County wants it clear that if they are providing the prosecution services, they will get all the fines and the fees. Mr. Silvestrini said that several Mr.s have told him that courts are not a place from which they can raise revenues. At best, the expenses and the revenues are a wash; at worst, they lose money. He said we have an option of contracting with some other entity. Cottonwood Heights contracts with Holladay for court services. This is something that can be explored if Millcreek leaves the MSD. {00313687.DOCX /} 12/19/16 City Council-elect Meeting Minutes 3  9. New Items for Subsequent Consideration A discussion ensued about the business license fee schedule. Ms. Catten noted that the comparison of fees to other cities is difficult, like comparing apples to pineapples. Mr. Marchant asked when the Council wants to discuss this further. Mr. Silvestrini indicated that the law requires a study before fees can be raised. Mr. Silvestrini noted that Mr. Brems and he are working on the ordinances, using the county ordinances as a template. They are trying to be comprehensive in the changes to reflect what the City can do that the County can’t, and vice versa. Drafts of the ordinances will be placed on the website. They will be on the December 27th agenda for adoption. Mr. Marchant asked whether the MSD is providing a city manager while we are in the MSD. Mr. Silvestrini noted that we will need a city manager eventually to take over the administrative powers, but until we hire, the administrative power is in the Mr.. A discussion ensued about the changes to the FCOZ ordinance that the County is currently reviewing. The Council will need to decide whether to adopt the old ordinance or the new one. The Millcreek Township Planning Commission has already recommended some changes. Most of the changes are not an issue in Millcreek. A draft of what the Planning Commission has proposed, as well as the current ordinances, will be posted on the website. The Mr. Silvestrini noted that the FCOZ ordinance is important to prevent building on steep slopes. He mentioned several examples of problems: an existing house that required installation of flying buttresses to keep from falling off the hillside, a subdivision that slipped off the hillside, springs that appear in downhill neighbors’ yards, fire apparatus that cannot reach homes on unplowed streets. There are reasons to develop responsibly. 10.
