WORK SESSION
Mayor Silvestrini called the meeting to order at 4:00 PM.
1. Report from John Miller, Salt Lake County
Mayor Silvestrini introduced John Miller, Salt Lake County Engineering, and gave a brief explanation
related to the interactive Millcreek pavement schedule map that had been prepared. The mayor had
1
spoken with Kevyn Smeltzer, Salt Lake County Public Works Operations, and requested that the projects
shown on the map be prioritized and costs included. The mayor explained that the number of projects
shown on the map is ambitious and that budgets would not allow for all projects shown to be
completed.
Mr. Miller explained the road Operational Condition Index (OCI) index and that the benchmark is around
70. Mr. Miller additionally explained that all roads are rated every four years and that the master
spreadsheet is constantly being updated. When a road deteriorates to a certain point, it will require a
complete rebuild which is very expensive. As an example, 13th East currently has passed the point
where a slurry seal or overlay can increase the life span of the road and for now potholes will be
repaired and small fixes completed until funding is available for a total repair.
Councilmember Uipi asked about a pothole program. Mr. Miller explained that grant funding may be
available for this type of repair on major arterials but that preparing and prioritizing the roads through
the OCI is the best way to maintain the life of roads for as long as possible. Mr. Miller additionally
indicated that Millcreek roads are on a downward trend and that additional funding will be required for
roads.
Mayor Silvestrini reported that he had talked to Mr. Smeltzer and Mr. Miller about some areas where
there are drainage problems. The mayor displayed some photos of locations where there are drainage
concerns and told the council that prioritizing locations will be part of the city budget process.
Additional funding will be required and the council will have to consider messaging and education for
residents about the process and the costs of repairs. As an example of prioritizing projects, the mayor
pointed out that the areas that had been displayed were areas where water pools, however there are
other locations that need to be placed higher on the list for repairs, such as a location along 900 East at
around 4200 South where water is getting into the basement of a home. This is a liability issue for the
city as well as a safety issue.
Councilmember Marchant asked whether this drainage problem could be corrected as part of the 900
East rebuild project. Mr. Miller responded that the large construction project will not be completed
until 2024 and this section is the top priority that should not be delayed. Based on the MSD budget,
there will be $50,000 available for this type of project and there is also $150,000 that was originally
designated for a widening project for bike lanes along 900 East. This funding is already available and
could potentially be used for this drainage project. Funds could be used to widen that section of road,
put a section of curb and gutter along with a storm drain to fix this drainage for this home.
Mayor Silvestrini pointed out that the MSD has talked about cutting the $150,000 line item to help
balance the budget and that he will continue to fight to keep this funding in order to complete this
project.
Mr. Miller stated that public works would like direction on how to proceed with this project. Mr. Miller
indicated that the cost for this drainage project would be $20,000 to $30,000 and would require minimal
engineering. The area is in a low spot along the street and the homeowner had installed a sump that is
no longer functioning.
Mayor Silvestrini asked the council if they agreed to give direction to public works operations to proceed
with this project and received general agreement from the members.
2
Councilmember Marchant asked about the lighting on 900 East. Mr. Miller responded that Rocky
Mountain Power is still working on tying in the electrical and that the county is in contact with them to
get the project finished and the lights turned on.
Councilmember Marchant thanked Mr. Miller for placing the duck crossing signs near Scott Avenue Park
so quickly.
Mayor Silvestrini mentioned the Grandeur Peak process and indicated that the item on the agenda only
pertains to formalizing the earlier decision to make the permit parking area permanent. The mayor then
requested that Mr. Miller provide a letter to the city council evaluating if the first traffic study is
sufficient to address the second petition. The mayor outlined the process that would be required to
address the second petition that would include a public hearing. Mr. Miller indicated that the previous
study was completed after the permit area was in place and showed the number of stalls that would be
required to meet the peak demand. Additional stalls will be painted on Wasatch Boulevard in the next
two weeks. Mr. Miller suggested considering making an addendum to the study to address the second
petition. Mr. Miller also pointed out that “no parking” on the east side of the road would result in two
residents along Wasatch Boulevard having to park across the street.
Councilmember Jackson asked about the wording in the permit parking area related to the number of
permits that could be received. Mr. Miller responded that the county attorney interpreted the wording
to mean two permits per household. Mayor Silvestrini requested Mr. Miller forward that opinion to
John Brems, city attorney, for review.
Mr. Miller then stated that fees have been waived during the pilot period and that the fees cover the
cost of administering the program. The mayor suggested having the county continue administering the
process. Mr. Miller informed the council that the fire marshal felt 60’ or 80’ at the end of Cascade Way
should be marked as no parking.
Councilmember Marchant asked Mr. Miller to thank Salt Lake County engineer Madeline Francesco-
Galang for taking the time to look at other concerns in his district.
Mr. Miller gave an update on a concern at Scott Avenue Park involving several trees that have grown up
on the homeowners’ side of the wall. Mr. Miller indicated that flood control will take the trees down
but there are sometimes concerns when trees are removed from a park. Councilmember Marchant
stated that the neighbors want the trees down as soon as possible. Mayor Silvestrini indicated there
should be a discussion with the larger community and requested time from Fran Holfeltz, who was in
the audience, on the next Millcreek Community Council agenda for a discussion. Ms. Holfeltz stated
there should be adequate time on their agenda.
2. Presentation by Blyncsky
Mayor Silvestrini introduced Mark Pittmman, founder and CEO of Blyncsky who gave an overview of his
company. Blyncsky can collect data from electronic devices, aggregate the data and use the data to
understand the habits and trends of residents. The company is very aggressive regarding privacy issues
and had participated in developing and had lobbied for HB369 that passed during the last legislative
session and includes very strict privacy requirements. Blyncsky installs and maintains sensors to collect
data that can be shared through user licenses at a cost of $37.50 per sensor. There are currently 136
sensors operating in Park City and discussions are underway with UDOT.
3
Data is collected through bluetooth, wi-fi and tire pressure rate sensors. Capture rates vary based on
the demographics and income levels of an area. On the University campus the rate is around 110%, but
on roadways and walking areas would average at around 60%. Sensors cannot differentiate between
the various types of device. Sensors can be installed on a permanent or temporary basis and can be
hard wired or based on solar power. The cost for a temporary sensor is $2,200.
Councilmember Uipi asked about how data can be utilized by engineering. Mr. Pittmman indicated that
the majority of transportation studies are consultant-based and this could assist in house engineering.
Councilmember Catten asked who owns the data. Mr. Pittmman indicated that Blyncsky owns and holds
the data, which does protect the city from liability issues. Data is held indefinitely and is locked and
cannot be used by local law enforcement.
Mayor Silvestrini requested a copy of the sample license agreement.
3. Presentation by Smartlink.
Mayor Silvestrini introduced Jason Hadley, who indicated he is an employee of Smartlink, which is a
consultant for Crown Castle. Mr. Hadley introduced Trevor Miller and Brian Christensen from from
Crown Castle and Horrocks Engineering.
Mr. Hadley presented a brief video presentation related to wireless infrastructure and the need for
expansion. Wireless infrastructure can include cell towers, rooftop towers and small cell solutions that
can be placed on existing poles. Mr. Hadley pointed out that 48% of households rely on wireless phones
and that approximately 70% of 9-1-1 calls are placed from wireless phones.
Mr. Hadley explained that Crown Castle is moving to small cell solutions, cell towers are becoming
completely utilized and companies cannot provide additional service. Crown Castle is not a provider,
they simply provide the infrastructure.
Mr. Hadley showed a map with the nodes that Crown Castle would like the council to consider in the
Millcreek area. Mr. Hadley also presented other potential sites located on streetlights and other
infrastructure coordination. Mr. Hadley indicated that the next step would be right of way
encroachment permits and applications. The permit fee would be $500 per year for each node.
Mayor Silvestrini asked about co-location requirements. Mr. Pittman indicated that the Crown Castle
system can support additional carriers and that the nodes are much smaller and less intrusive than older
cell phone towers. The type of equipment installed depends upon which type each carrier requires.
Dark fiber is placed in the right of way and the carrier will direct where they want the service.
Councilmember Jackson asked about spacing. Mr. Hadley indicated that it would depend upon the need
and could be centered around apartment complexes or areas of greater population.
Mr. Pittmman indicated that in Millcreek for the first phase, all infrastructure would be aerial and that
an agreement is already in place with Rocky Mountain Power to utilize their poles.
John Brems, city attorney, commented that he has been in discussions regarding the agreements and
will be working through the issue and will be bringing an interlocal agreement back to the council.

4. Presentation by John Brems about Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area.
Mayor Silvestrini asked John Brems, City Attorney, to discuss developments with SLVLESA and
additionally reported that at UPD governance meetings, there has been pushback about the metro
township participation, including a suggestion that some smaller communities should team up to allow
for a better balance on the board. He reminded the council that Riverton and Harriman are intending to
leave SLVLESA, which would leave Millcreek as the only municipality participating in SLVLESA, together
with the metro townships and remaining unincorporated county.
The mayor had asked Mr. Brems to explore options for Millcreek including: 1) stay in SLVLESA; 2) leave
SLVLESA and form its own district or 3) leave SLVLESA and increase property taxes in a similar amount to
pay for UPD services. The mayor indicated that the last model would require a truth in taxation process
and that Millcreek would most likely already have to go through a similar process related to the
telecommunications tax.
Mr. Brems detailed the statutes governing SLVLESA and UPD, and explained that SLVLESA is a “first
responder district”. Mr. Brems indicated that Millcreek satisfies the key elements of the statute that
allows it to withdraw from SLVLESA without an election. Mr. Brems explained that the Council would
have to pass a resolution to begin the process of withdrawing, and within ten days after adopting the
resolution, the city would submit written notice of adoption of the resolution along with the copy of the
resolution to the SLVLESA board. An agreement in writing from both parties is required, most likely
through an interlocal agreement.
Mr. Brems then explained the two options should Millcreek leave SLVLESA. The first would be to create
a new district which could then impose the property tax. This district could be created by resolution and
timing would be critical. Mr. Brems indicated that he has had discussions with the state and that a truth
in taxation hearing would be required as well as an audit, a separate fund balance in the event of a
potential funding shortfall, and administrative issues. Mr. Brems then outlined the benefits, which are
mainly political, as funds are limited to purposes for which the district was created. Mayor Silvestrini
noted that residents would see the amount of costs on their tax notices.
Mr. Brems then discussed the second option, which would be for Millcreek to fund its own police
services. Mr. Brems indicated that he feels that Millcreek should be able to afford the same level of
service at the same cost. Mayor Silvestrini stated he felt that the advantage of this option is that
Millcreek would save on the administrative costs, and there would be additional flexibility. A tax
revenue anticipation note (TRANS bond) would be required due to the timing of revenue flow. Further, a
blended revenue source would allow for a lower interest rate on any bonding in the future.
Mr. Brems then reviewed the timeline for withdrawal and capturing the SLVLESA revenues directly. The
city would need to negotiate with SLVLESA prior to December 2017, adopt a resolution of withdrawal in
December 2017, send the notice of withdrawal to SLVESA within ten days, and withdraw from SLVESA
no earlier than December 21, 2017. Mr. Brems indicated that if the city were to create a local district to
capture the tax revenue, that would have to be done before January 1, 2018. With or without a district,
the city would capture the formerly SLVLESA revenue by adopting a budget with a tax increase by June
22, 2018 and holding a truth in taxation hearing in August 2018. That way, the city could begin to
directly receive the property taxes in November/December 2018.
5
Councilmember Uipi suggested Millcreek utilize the time that is afforded in the process to pursue
education of residents, with a possible town hall. She also suggested beginning the discussion in the
upcoming MSD feasibility public hearings. Mr. Brems commented that whichever option the council
determines to pursue, a truth in taxation hearing would have to be held in August 2018 so that Millcreek
would begin receiving the property taxes in November/December 2018.
Mayor Silvestrini requested authority to negotiate these issues with Herriman and Riverton, as the
process for Millcreek’s withdrawal should be at the same time frame as the other cities. The mayor has
had a discussion with UPD Chief DeBry indicating that he is not as concerned about Millcreek withdraw-
ing from SLVESA, but wants Millcreek to stay with UPD and not suffer a reduced level of service.
Councilmember Uipi commented that she is willing to begin working on setting public hearings to begin
the education process for residents.
Mayor Silvestrini stated that Riverton had conducted a feasibility study with Lewis Young. Herriman has
not yet done a study but continues discussion. Responses are due this week to the RFP to do a feasibility
study for Millcreek.
5. Preliminary discussion of changes to Conditional Use Ordinance, John Jansen
Mayor Silvestrini introduced John Jansen, who gave a presentation related to the proposed changes to
the conditional use ordinance and outlined the time line, including meeting with the community councils
possibly in May. Mr. Jansen stated that conditional use changes should be aligned with state law and
outlined the two types of decisions that are made: legislative decisions that create new items, and
administrative decisions based on following the ordinances. Mr. Jansen explained that the state
legislature changed the law to require that a conditional use must be approved if reasonable conditions
are proposed to mitigate potential problems and if the reasonably anticipated detrimental effects can
be mitigated. The conditions imposed must be based on standards set forth in the city’s ordinances.
Mr. Jansen explained compatibility, uses within a zone, and potential standards that a planning
commission could impose. Mr. Jansen talked about standards and the need for more clarity in
definitions and that modifications to zones should be anticipated after the General Plan is adopted.
6. Discuss and finalize specifics of participation in Salt Lake Marathon
Councilmember Marchant will send the contact information for the resident who is allowing the use of
their front yard to Rita Lund to talk about timing.
7. Reminder of Great Utah Shakeout Event
Councilmember Jackson requested participation in the Great Utah Shakeout and listed some emergency
preparation tips.
Mayor Silvestrini recessed the meeting at 6:30 PM.
GENERAL MEETING
1. Call to Order
Mayor Silvestrini called the General Meeting to order at 7:10 PM.
6
1.1 Pledge of Allegiance
The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Jemina Keller, a Millcreek resident.
1.2 Approval of Minutes
MOTION was made by Councilmember Jackson, seconded by Councilmember Marchant to approve the
minutes of April 10, 2017. Motion passed unanimously.
2. Public Comment
Mayor Silvestrini who in the audience came anticipating a public hearing on the Grandeur Peak permit
parking issue. He explained that the only matter to be considered on the agenda is approval of the
ordinance that formalizes the resident parking program already approved at a previous meeting. The
mayor explained that Councilmember Jackson had approached the neighborhood in the last several days
about the potential of seasonal parking in an attempt for compromise. He explained that another public
hearing would be required if a change to seasonal parking were to be considered, but that such a
change was not on the agenda for today.
Councilmember Jackson commented that her intent regarding her inquiry about seasonal parking in the
Grandeur Peak neighborhood was an attempt at developing a compromise. The councilmember was
interested in having public input to ascertain what the residents’ opinions might be on a potential
seasonal permit aspect.
Cami Staker, a Millcreek resident in the "Live Where You Work, Where You Play” space, who asked
about ordinances and described undesirable experiences she has had her neighborhood. Ms. Staker
also asked about storage unit ordinances. Mayor Silvestrini suggested she contact the UPD, code
enforcement and the health department, and introduced Ms. Staker to UPD Chief Steve DeBry, who was
in attendance at the meeting. The mayor further explained that a facility that is built as a storage unit
would likely not have an occupancy permit and if there are people living in a unit, the health department
would have oversight. The mayor offered to assist Ms. Staker with the concern.
Greg Coon, a Grandeur Peak neighbor, circulated maps showing the area around his home and
commented about parking concerns in the neighborhood that impact public safety for his street. Mr.
Coon also related that the neighborhood is not as divided as has been stated in previous meetings.
Mayor Silvestrini related that the fire marshal has suggested possibly parking on one side only could
potentially address the concerns.
Jemina Keller, a Grandeur Peak neighbor, thanked Councilmember Jackson for her clarification and
commented that the neighborhood does not want part time parking. Ms. Keller questioned the
proposed fees and suggested that funds could be raised from parking tickets.
Virginia Jensen, a Grandeur Peak neighbor, stated her opposition to any seasonal parking proposal. Ms.
Jensen explained that there is not a great difference in winter and summer uses. Ms. Jensen would like
to have the pilot program instituted as discussed and requested that parking not be pushed onto Warr
Road and lower Cascade Way and outlined her concerns about providing parking for public from outside
the neighborhood. Additionally, Ms. Jensen is requesting that the east side of Wasatch Boulevard be
striped in red to indicate no parking. Vandalism and drug trafficking continue to be a concern.
7
Heather Bringard, a Grandeur Peak neighbor, also thanked Councilmember Jackson for her clarification.
Ms. Bringard supports Ms. Keller’s comments that revenues could come from tickets rather than fees
and that she would encourage overflow parking at Eastwood Elementary.
Andrea Barrs, a Grandeur Peak neighbor, thanked Councilmember Jackson for her clarification and
stated that she is opposed to seasonal parking in the neighborhood. Mr. Varss stated that she has not
had a problem with the permits.
Mayor Silvestrini indicated that the permit parking ordinance is on the agenda this evening and that an
additional petition has been received and will be addressed. Councilmember Marchant stated that the
common thread in the comments is related to enforcement. Chief DeBry of the UPD addressed the
question and asked the residents to be patient, as his officers must prioritize their calls. Mayor
Silvestrini pointed out the fines and forfeitures do not bring in adequate funds even to sustain court
systems. Enforcement may be the right thing to do but should not be considered a revenue source.
Mayor Silvestrini announced that due to the residents being in attendance, agenda item 8.4 would be
considered out of order.
8.4 Discussion and consideration of Ord. 17-_____ - formalizing a restricted parking program on Warr
Road and Cascade Way near the Grandeur Peak Trailhead
Councilmember Jackson asked about the interpretation of the ordinance that provides the number of
permits. Mayor Silvestrini explained that he had discussed the interpretation from the District Attorney
indicating that each household should be allowed two permits and has requested additional information
from the county.
Councilmember Catten additionally commented on the permit parking fee, that there is a cost to the city
to administer the program and she feels a fee is necessary.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Catten, seconded by Councilmember Uipi to adopt Ord. 17-
______ - formalizing a restricted parking program on Warr Road and Cascade Way near the Grandeur
Peak Trailhead. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote with councilmembers voting as follows:
Councilmember Uipi – Aye
Councilmember Catten – Aye
Mayor Silvestrini – Aye
Councilmember Jackson – Aye
Councilmember Marchant – Aye
3. Reports
3.1 Report of Mayor, reports of City Council members
Mayor Silvestrini reported that the city will be receiving the results of a feasibility study related to the
MSD and invited the public to attend the public hearing on May 23rd at Wasatch Jr High and the
community council meetings in May. The mayor additionally told the audience that there have been
some developments with the SLVLESA district and there will be additional information provided in the
8
future. The mayor emphasized that Millcreek is not contemplating any changes to the services provided
by the UPD and that the discussion is related to the SLVLESA funding component.
Mayor Silvestrini reported that $246,000 for January and February from the road taxes has been
received by Millcreek. Sales tax revenues will be coming to the MSD and the city will be developing the
city budget.
Councilmember Jackson reported she had attended a Safe Neighborhood program and asked the
residents to familiarize themselves with the program.
Councilmember Marchant reported on a concern with Liquid Joe’s complaints and that the facility is in

applications and the reasoning behind his scoring.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Uipi, seconded by Councilmember Catten to adopt Resolution
No. 17-______ - authorizing and directing the Mayor to negotiate a contract with NFP for the provision
of human resource services. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote with councilmembers voting
as follows:

negotiate a contract with to provide city office space
Mayor Silvestrini reported that Fred Healey has not yet completed the additional information that had
been requested and that the item would be tabled.
8.3 Discussion and consideration of Resolution No. 17-______, authorizing and directing the Mayor to
issue an RFP for engineering services
The mayor began a discussion of the RFP. Gary Colgan, representing CH2M Hill Engineering, requested a
revision to the RFP and asked whether Millcreek is contemplating doing building inspections as part of
engineering. Mr. Colgan indicated that it will be difficult to put prices on such an open-ended RFP
without a quantification of the scope of work. Jason Jones, representing JUB Engineering, agreed that
costing would prove difficult. John Miller, Salt Lake County engineering, also indicated that even from
the county perspective, a comparison would be difficult without a defined scope.
Mayor Silvestrini discussed the changes that had been determined at the last City Council meeting
including the list of services and the weighting. The mayor indicated that applicants have sources of
data to consider when responding to the RFP.
10
Mayor Silvestrini discussed the concerns related to preparation of this RFP and thanked the engineering
firms who have assisted Millcreek up to this point. The mayor suggested that Millcreek enter into a six-
month contract for engineering with Salt Lake County to allow time collect data and to produce a more
comprehensive RFP. The process could include roundtables with all interested firms to assist in
determining the scope.
Mayor Silvestrini requested authorization to negotiate an interlocal agreement with the County for
discussion at the next City Council meeting, and tabled this agenda item.
9. New Items for Subsequent Consideration
No new items for subsequent consideration appeared on the agenda.
10. Calendar of Upcoming Events
The calendar of upcoming events was reviewed.
11. Closed Session (If Needed)
No closed session was required.
12. Adjournment
MOTION was made by Councilmember Uipi, seconded by Councilmember Jackson, to adjourn and
return to the Work Session to review municipal priorities.
WORK SESSION RECONVENED
Mayor Silvestrini reconvened the Work Session at 8:45 PM.
Councilmember Uipi listed several concerns including, private dumpster collection at an address on 9th
East, a fence issue on 23rd East at Keller Lane, Millcreek Canyon Road flooding that would cost $20,000
to $30,000 to repair and flooding concerns at the west end of Evergreen Avenue and Lambourne
Avenue. Mayor Silvestrini indicated that most of these items are on the capital improvement list and
that there could be additional funding available to complete projects.
John Miller asked the council to consider how funds earmarked in the capital project lists would be
handled with the MSD. Mayor Silvestrini commented that he has been in discussions with Jared Steffey
related to how capital projects will be addressed when Millcreek leaves the MSD.
Mayor Silvestrini also indicated that the $400,000 that is coming from the MSD is an arbitrary number.
The amount was originally $498,000. The mayor suggested at the MSD meeting that Millcreek should be
receiving funds since the metro townships are receiving funds. The $400,000 amount was a
compromise to provide Millcreek with cash flow to get set up. There will be an accounting at some
point to true-up the balances owed between the MSD and Millcreek.
Councilmember Uipi told the council that she has scheduled a meeting with the community councils and
Mayor Silvestrini to discuss issues that the community councils have raised.
Councilmember Catten has had a discussion with the Langdon Group regarding PR and development of a
vision and mission statement for the city that would be developed on a pro bono basis. Values, vision
11
and mission of city should be developed by the city council and a member of the Langdon Group would
be willing to help. Mayor Silvestrini suggested that Langdon be invited to a work session.
Councilmember Uipi offered to forward examples from other cities of their vision, mission and values
statements.
Agenda items for the next City Council meeting were discussed including:
Lewis Young to present the feasibility report
Report from Fred Healey on office space
Discussion about administrative powers of the city and the possibility of hiring a city administrator
rather than a city manager
FCOZ discussion with Curtis Woodward
Mayor Silvestrini read a letter from a constituent congratulating the council and mayor for their work.
Councilmember Catten discussed the need for risk management for the city.
Mayor Silvestrini discussed the insurance for community councils and indicated that the city insurance
would provide coverage for the volunteers but could not include coverage for the community councils
themselves.
MOTION for adjournment was made at 9:45 PM by Councilmember Uipi, seconded by Councilmember
Catten. Motion passed unanimously.
