City Center Update; Environmental Planning Group, LLC Lauren Smith, EPG, said the vision of the City Center was to create a "Mill Town" vision and design style through building materials and site materials. Brett Hoffer, EPG, showed the Council hydro pavers and gave a demonstration of one retaining water as a pervious material. Mayor Silvestrini asked how durable it was. Smith said heavy trucks could drive on them and they do not clog. She said the design would include different sizes and colors of the pavers in the City Center. Council Member Marchant asked about cost. Smith said they costed about the Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 22 June 2020 Page 2 of 12 same as non'nal pavers. She went over the Phase 1 design plan for the City Center. Council Member Catten asked about the drop off zone from 3300 S. being closed in the winter. Smith said it would be open unless there was a big event that warranted closure. Council Member Uipi asked about ADA compatibility. Smith said there were planned options. Council Member Uipi asked about snow plowing in the drive up/drop off zone. Smith said the snowplow could drive through the drive up and could access the site if need be. Council Member Marchant pointed out the vastness of hard surface in the plan instead of open space. Smith said Phase 2 would be a natural park. Council Member Jackson asked about the ground level fire pits posing a safety risk. Smith said they could add some safety features. Council Member Jackson asked about the ice ribbon in the surnrner. Smith said it would be concrete. Smith said the next steps were ongoing coordination with development teams, notification of construction manager/general contractor recommendation to the Mayor by July 29, 2020, construction drawings completed September 2020, construction started in spring 2021, and construction completed in fall 2021. 2. Non-Exclusive License Agreement Between Millcreek and Google Fiber Utah LLC for the Instanation of Nehvork Facilities in the City Public Right-of-Way; John Brems, City Attorney Mayor Silvestrini said the City had been having discussions with Google Fiber. John Brems said Google had requested a license, to install, maintain, operate, and/or control a fiber optic infrastructure network in the public right-of-way for the purpose of offering communications services, including broadband internet access service, but excluding multichannel video prograrnrning services that would be subject to a video services franchise, to residents and businesses in the City. The license would grant Google permission to encroach on and occupy the public right-of-way for the purpose of constructing, installing, repairing, maintaining, and operating the network within the City. He said it would be a theoretical pipe to houses without the content. He then went over the provisions of the agreement. Google would be required to get a city excavation permit every time they cut into Millcreek's roads. Google would use its best efforts to install or relocate its network underground. If after utilizing such best efforts and if any third-party electricity or communications transmission or distribution facilities remained above ground, Google may install its network above ground but only to the same extent that such third-party was above ground. Google would repair any damage to the public right-of-way or private property. Google's restoration work would start promptly but not more than (i) 24 hours from City notifying Google (electronic mail is sufficient for this notice) of damage that poses an imminent threat to public health or safety, (ii) 72 hours from City notifying Google of damage that affects roads or highways, or (iii) 14 days from City notifying Google of all other types of damage. Google would not have a build out requirement. The City would consult with Google regarding the boundaries of the City's recognized neighborhood associations and City's goals of equity and inclusion. Google shall not deny service or access, or otherwise discriminate on the availability, rates, terms, or conditions of broadband internet services provided to residential subscribers on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, familial status, marital status, or status with regard to public assistance. Mayor Silvestrini said he did not want to create a digital divide in the City for broadband access. He said that Google said it would make sense to lay line in the denser neighborhoods first. Council Member Jackson asked that messaging state that Google Fiber would go to some Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 22 June 2020 Page 3 of 12 areas of the City so as to not create an unrealistic expectation for all residents. Brems continued reviewing the agreement and said that Google shall not deny or discriminate against any group of actual or potential residential subscribers in the City on access to or the rates, terms, and conditions of broadband internet services because of the income level or other demographics of the local area in which such group may be located. Google agreed to use good faith efforts to consult with the City on developing initiatives designed to benefit the public, which may include increasing access to broadband internet services, improving digital literacy, and bridging the digital divide. If Google's existing network facilities would interfere with the City's plaru'ied use of the public right-of-way or other city property for a governmental purpose, such as construction, installation, repair, maintenance, or operation of water, sewer, or storm drain line/facilities, public roads or curb, gutter and sidewalk, parks, and recreational facilities, then Google would at its sole cost and expense relocate the network facilities. If for a commercial purpose, then Google would not be required to relocate its network facilities unless the City or the third party (a) identifies and arranges for a new location for Google's network facilities that is acceptable to Google, (b) agrees to a time for the relocation, and (c) agrees to reimburse Google costs associated with the requested relocation. Google would pay the City two percent (2%) of Gross Revenues collected from residents and businesses in the City, remitted on a quarterly basis for the use of the public right-of-way. Brems said Millcreek charged 5% with other franchises but compromised with 2%. Mayor Silvestrini said it was not supposed to be a profit for the City, just add value to the public right-of-way. Council Member Catten asked if the 2% could change. Brems said it both parties agreed, but the contract was for 15 years. Council Member Jackson asked about a potential backlash to the City's budget due to streaming services instead of paying cable franchise fees. Mayor Silvestrini said the revenue currently received was not large anyway. Council Member Catten pointed out that Google was selling their own product and wondered if the City should get more than 2%. Mayor Silvestrini said if something changed, the agreement would change. Brems said Salt Lake City and Provo were being provided different products than what was being offered to Millcreek, which is why those cities received 5%. He said Google had the obligation for agreement renewal. The license would expire automatically on the fifteenth anniversary of the effective date unless Google provided written notice of its intent to renew to the City at least six (6) months prior to expiration and the City did not object after thirty (30) days. The renewal term would be for five (5) years, and the same renewal process may be used for successive 5-year terms. Council Member Marchant said there was a cost on road longevity when allowing Google to cut into them. Brems said the excavation permit fee would cover immediate costs. He said the City could not charge a road degradation fee without doing it to every utility or excavator. Council Member Uipi asked about long range plaru'iing for the roads and excavations. Brems said new roads could not be cut into for a certain amount of time. Jacob Brace, Community Affairs Manager with Google Fiber, said he was a Millcreek resident and committed to the project. He said Google Fiber wanted to reduce the impact to the roads and private property. Council Member Catten asked about the plan for Millcreek. Brace said there was an engineering group that could work with the City's engineering department to map things out after a contract was entered into. Council Member Uipi asked for thoughtfulness in messaging on east versus west sides of the City. Brace said he would Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 22 June 2020 Page 4 of 12 work with the Council and staff to message appropriately. Council Member Marchant pointed out that the network may not reach some residents. Brace said once construction started, it continued organically so it depended on the mobility of the construction plant where they went. He said constituents would be concerned about sprinkler interniption and it was of Google Fiber's interest to provide quality and fast response during the construction process. Council Member Catten asked about a tool kit for messaging with cities. Brace said it would be tailored to Millcreek. Mayor Silvestrini said they would work together on the messaging to the City once an agreement had been entered into. 3. Staff Reports There were none. 4. Discussion of Agenda Items, Correspondence, and/or Future Agenda Items Council Member Uipi asked about providing a space or having a town hall for cornrnunity discussion about police services. Mayor Silvestrini said there could be a zoom meeting, or the City could host small in-person groups at City Hall. He said the City could put together a FAQs sheet for people to read. Council Member Uipi suggested having an officer of color speak to the community. Council Member Catten expressed concern about having a town hall and seeming ingenuine. She suggested a message campaign to start with about how the Unified Police Department (UPD) worked. Mayor Silvestrini said there was a benefit to be able to voice opinions. He said he had received a substantial amount of emails from residents. The Council discussed what options they should consider in addressing the issue. They decided on utilizing a survey. Mayor Silvestrini reported that Taylorsville intended to withdraw from UPD, and Midvale was considering it. He said Millcreek residents had been generous with gifts and support to the Millcreek UPD Precinct. Council Member Marchant requested the Council hear from Chief Steve DeBry. Council Member Catten asked for residents who have had interactions with the police to provide feedback. a. First Reading of Items 3.4 and 3.5 John Brems said item 3.4 would change the date for when notice starts and the date observed and move the fees into the consolidated fee schedule. Kurt Hansen said item 3.5 was amending section 17.24.020 of the Millcreek code with respect to the definition of "substantial improvements." He proposed to align Millcreek's definition with FEMA's definition. Residents currently do phased approaches to home improvements. FEMA regulations apply if an owner makes improvements of more than 50% of the value of their structure within a 5-year period. Mayor Silvestrini asked about measuring the value. Hansen said he thought it would be based on the present home value. Mayor Silvestrini asked if the 5 years was rolling. Hansen said the City would be responsible for checking the 5 years for the property, regardless of ownership change. The Council posed hypotheticals, such as a house burning down. Brems said the 50% was a look back to the previous 5 years from construction date. Council Member Catten asked if there was a way around the floodplain requirements. Mayor Silvestrini said the way around the code was if the City built structures as mitigations for flood debris flow and had a new floodplain map. The City applied for a grant to study the situation. Hansen reviewed the proposed code changes. Mfflcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 22 June 2020 Page 5 of 12 Council Member Jackson moved to adjourn the work meeting at 6:34 p.m. Council Member Catten seconded.

She investigated a domestic violence case, which involved police fraud, with tenacity and resolve. The Citizens Advisory Board presented Officer Willie with a gift. 1.3 Public Comment Mayor Silvestrini said there was a public comment form available on the Meetings Live Stream page on the City's website for people to use. There were no comments. Mayor Silvestrini said he had received comments from the public during the week about policing. He continued to invite the public to voice their concerns on policing with the Council and with UPD. He said he had also received comments from the public about the proposed storm water utility fee both in favor of and against adopting one. He said the City had inherited an old storm drain system that was failing, and the existing revenues were not enough to cover the emergencies and the ongoing improvements and maintenance of the system. 2. Financial Matters 2.1 Public Hearing on Opening and Amending the Fiscal Year 2019-20 Budget Laurie Johnson said the amendment was a cleanup to wrap up the end of the fiscal year, which increased the General Fund budget by $134,500. She said she had updated numbers from when the Council meeting packet had been distributed. She went over the revenue changes. Property taxes had another $117,000 increase, and sales tax, permit fees, and Class C road funds went down based on current projections. She said less fund balance would be used to pay UPD's bill. The expense changes were minor and there was a note on each department budget page. The Justice Court budget had extra expenses for interpreters. The Legal Services budget increased to cover additional professional services expenses. The Public Safety and Communications budgets were decreased. The Information Center budget increased for a new mailing machine. The Non-Departmental budget increased to over $300,000 for the contribution to the fund balance. The fund balance, if projections held, would be at 21%. The Capital Improvements Project fund bottom line did not change, but some line items were moved around. Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 22 June 2020 Page 6 of 12 Council Member Jackson moved to open to the public hearing.

Council Member Uipi seconded. Mayor Silvestrini said the City had received another property tax installment so fund balance could be increased as a cushion. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously 2.3 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 20-22, Acknowledging the Intent to Exceed the Certified Tax Rate; Adopting a Tentative Budget for Operations of the City; Authorizing Expenditures of Money Based on the Tentative Budget from July 1, 2020, to August 11, 2020; and Giving Notice and Scheduling a Public Hearing Regarding the Property Tax Increase Mayor Silvestrini said the Resolution reflected what the Council had previously discussed, that it would be better to have a small property tax increase this coming fiscal year so as to not have a sizeable one the year after due to the UPD contract increase. He wanted Millcreek to have flexibility in the budget to possibly adjust services by way of police reform. He said the budget included a smaller tax increase than what was originally contemplated. Laurie Johnson said the tentative budget included a new property tax growth of $245,675 plus a 2.78% property tax increase, resulting in using less fund balance in the amended tentative budget. She updated the UPD and Salt Lake County Animal Control line items in the Public Safety budget. The original tentative budget fund balance was projected to be under 13% but was now over 18%. She did not know the date of the truth in taxation hearing for August yet. Council Member Uipi clarified that $12.84 was the average increase per household. Mayor Silvestrini said the County set the truth in taxation hearing dates. Council Member Marchant said this would be the City's first tax increase. Council Member Marchant moved to approve Resolution 20-22, Acknowledging the Intent to Exceed the Certified Tax Rate; Adopting a Tentative Budget for Operations of the City; Authorizing Expenditures of Money Based on the Tentative Budget from July 1, 2020, to August 11, 2020; and Giving Notice and Scheduling a Public Hearing Regarding the Property Tax Increase. Council Member Jackson seconded. Mayor Silvestrini said if Millcreek had remained in the Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area (SLVLESA), residents would have gone through two property tax increases. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously Mfflcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 22 June 2020 Page 7 of 12 2.4 Presentation of Annual Fraud Risk Assessment; Laurie Johnson, HR-Finance Director Laurie Johnson said in order to better meet the fraud risk assessment, the auditors recommended the Council review it in a public meeting. There were two items that Millcreek was lacking; the Finance Director did not have a CPA and did not have 40 hours of formal training related to accounting, budgeting, or other financial areas each year. Millcreek scored 355 out of 395 on the assessment, which was in the very low risk category. Mayor Silvestrini said Laurie Johnson had decades of work related to budgets and accounting. 2.5 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 20-23, Aclaiowledging Receipt and Acceptance of the Millcreek Fiscal Year 2019-20 Fraud Risk Assessment and Direction to File it With the State Auditor Council Member Catten moved to accept Resolution 20-23, Acknowledging Receipt and Acceptance of the Millcreek Fiscal Year 2019-20 Fraud Risk Assessment and Direction to File it With the State Auditor. Council Member Uipi seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously 3. Business Matters 3.1 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 20-25, Annexing Territory Located South of Murray Holladay Road, West of 1300 East, East of 900 East, and North of Van Winkle Expressway Comprising Approximately 62 acres into Millcreek; Establishing Zoning for the Annexed Territory and Amending the Zoning Map of the City; and Related Matters Mayor Silvestrini said the City received a citizen petition for the annexation, the City Recorder confirmed it met the requirements, and the Council had a public hearing on it in which nobody objected. He said adopting the ordinance was the Council's final step in aru"iexing the area then the plat would be filed with the Lt. Governor's office. Mayor Silvestrini asked for public comment. Thomas DeSirant, 718 E. Nibley View Court, asked why the property was not initially incorporated into Millcreek. Mayor Silvestrini said when Millcreek township was formed by the County Council, the unincorporated area belonged to another cornrnunity council district, South Cottonwood, and the people that lived there declined to be part of the township. Millcreek was interested in annexing the property because the City had already been providing police services there without compensation and it would also clean up the City's boundary. The Mayor said that Murray City had said they would incorporate the unincorporated property to the south of Van Winkle. DeSirant asked about a tax base in the area. Mayor Silvestrini said it was not commercial rich and did not generate much sales tax but would provide property tax. Council Member Marchant asked if the City had received any feedback from the residents who lived there. Mayor Silvestrini said only the petition and staff had not received any opposition. Council Member Marchant moved to approve Ordinance 20-25, Annexing Territory Located South of Murray Holladay Road, West of 1300 East, East of 900 East, and North Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 22 June 2020 Page 8 of 12 of Van Winkle Expressway Comprising Approximately 62 acres into Millcreek; Establishing Zoning for the Annexed Territory and Amending the Zoning Map of the City; and Related Matters. Councn Member Jackson seconded. Council Member Catten asked if adding the property into District 1 would require a council district boundary adjustment. Mayor Silvestrini said after the US Census, there may need to be an adjustment anyway. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 3.2 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 20-24, Approving the Form of a Certification of Resolution and Authorization for Treasury Management Service Agreement with Zions Bank and Authorizing the Execution and Delivery Thereof Laurie Johnson said there had been requests in the past that Millcreek accept online donations, especially for the Promise Program. Zions Bank has a donation portal they would make available to Millcreek and donations would go directly into Millcreek's bank account. Council Member Uipi moved to approve Item 3.2. Council Member Jackson seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously 3.3 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 20-26, Regulating, Preventing, and Banning the Discharge of Fireworks Within Certain Areas of the City Mayor Silvestrini said under Utah statute, the City can restrict the use of fireworks in areas that pose a wildfire hazard. Council Member Uipi asked if there were different designation areas from last year. Mayor Silvestrini said no, but the City must adopt the Ordinance every year. Councn Member Uipi moved to approve Item 3.3. Council Member Jackson seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously 3.4 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 20-27, Amending Title 1 of the Millcreek Code of Ordinances Regarding Administrative Citations and Default Hearings Mayor Silvestrini said John Brems discussed this item in the work session.

Council Member Jackson moved to adopt Ordinance 20-28, Amending Title 17 Chapter 24 of the Millcreek Code of Ordinances Entitled Flood Damage Prevention Regarding the Mfflcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 22 June 2020 Page 9 of 12 Definition of Substantial Improvements as it correlates to the FEMA definition. Council Member Catten seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 3.6 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 20-29, Amending Title 5 of the Millcreek Code of Ordinances, by Amending the Business License Fee Schedule, Adding a Disproportion Fee Schedule, and Other Related Matters Alexander Wendt said the Economic Development Department had completed a Business License Fee study. The ordinance would update Title 5 in Chapter 8 to add disproportionate fees and remove the per employee fee. In Chapter 19 of Title 5, an amendment would be made to address fees in the consolidated fee schedule and added that all short-term rentals must have a building inspection. Mayor Silvestrini said Millcreek had problems with short-term rentals so this would help with safety code. Wendt showed the Council the new business license fee schedule, which included mostly a decrease in the various base licensing fees, increase for disproportionate fees, a decrease for alcohol licensing, and a different breakdown for long-term rental fees. Mayor Silvestrini said the purpose of a business license fee was to cover the services Millcreek provided, not to make money. He said the fees were mostly to the benefit of Millcreek businesses. Council Member Marchant moved to approve Ordinance 20-29, Amending Title 5 of the Millcreek Code of Ordinances, by Amending the Business License Fee Schedule, Adding a Disproportion Fee Schedule, and Other Related Matters. Council Member Catten seconded. Mayor Silvestrini asked for public comment. There was none. Mike Winder said he visited with the Millcreek Business Council about the study findings and they expressed support. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously 3.7 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 20-30, Enacting Title 17, Chapter 30, of the Millcreek Code of Ordinances with Respect to the Creation and Operation of a Storm Sewer Utility Fee John Miller said staff had been looking a storm water utility fee for over a year. He said he had received 39 comments since the open house held on the topic two weeks prior. The storm drain utility fee equivalent residential unit (ERU) would be $9.81 in the fiscal year 2020-2021 with a project revenue of $3,292,519. After two years, the actual revenues from the fee would be compared to revenue needs and the fee re-evaluated if needed. He said the City would need to adopt the fee every year. The ordinance allowed for hardship and military waivers. Mayor Silvestrini said he had been asked about Rocky Mountain Power's (RMP) involvement. He said by hiring a third party, RMP, to bill and collect the fee it would save the City money because they already billed to most of the residents in the City and were willing to do it for a relatively competitive price. He said he had been asked about the amount for a billing specialist and said it was just an estimate. The Council would do everything they could to keep costs low and not lose revenue in administration. He said new personnel paid for by the fee would be engineering new storm drain systems. He said he was asked about reallocating the budget to not have a fee. He said it was a new problem which needed additional revenue to be addressed. Council Member Uipi said Millcreek inherited the system as it was. Council Member Jackson said the City would face a penalty if storm water was mismanaged. Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 22 June 2020 Page 10 of 12 Mayor Silvestrini said Millcreek would be joining the majority of cities in charging this type of fee. He thanked Millcreek staff and the consultants for their work on the item. Miller thanked Rita Lund for her communication efforts, too. Mayor Silvestrini said he had met with the school district, churches, and businesses, and those entities were understanding of the fee. Council Member Uipi moved to approve item 3.7, Ordinance 20-30. Council Member Catten seconded. Mayor Silvestrini said the Council acted with fiscal responsibility. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 3.8 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 20-25, Approving an Interlocal Cooperative Agreement with Salt Lake County for the Third Amended Agreement for Addressing Francis Lilly said his goal was to bring addressing in-house during the next year, but in the meantime the Planning Department would need the County's services. Mayor Silvestrini pointed out that the agreement was for the same price as the existing agreement. He said addressing was critical for findability, especially for public safety. Council Member Jackson moved to adopt Resolution 20-25, Approving an Interlocal Cooperative Agreement with Salt Lake County for the Third Amended Agreement for Addressing. Councn Member Uipi seconded. The Recorder caned for the vote. An Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 3.9 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 20-26, Approving an Agreement with Avenue Consultants, Inc. for Engineering Services John Miller said the agreement was for environmental work for the federally funded work on the Upland Drive and Virginia Way roundabout to deal with the a.m. and p.m. commutes with the schools. He said the consultants were selected from UDOT's pool of consultants. Council Member Uipi moved to approve item 3.9, Resolution 20-26. Councu Member Catten seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 4. Reports 4.1 Mayor's Report Mayor Silvestrini said he and the City Attorney met with the Salt Lake County Attorney's Office about cases from Millcreek. The prosecutor handling Millcreek's matters would be replaced due to some concerns. He said he attended the UPD Board meeting and the budget was approved which included an increase in pay for officers because they were currently in the bottom half of the pay scale in the County. He said the City of Taylorsville intended to withdraw from UPD in a year. He felt that Millcreek got more out of UPD than an independent department could provide because of the pooled services. Council Member Uipi asked if the Mayor was looking at other prosecutor services. Mayor Silvestrini said no, but he would continue to track it. Mayor Silvestrini brought up that someone had painted "Black Lives Matter" on 2900 E. He said it was an illegitimate form of protest and would check to make sure that it did not pose a safety Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 22 June 2020 Page 11 of 12 risk, otherwise he would let it stand. Council Member Jackson asked that residents not protest by painting streets. Mayor Silvestrini said there were no approved City protest guidelines. 4.2 City Council Member Reports Council Member Jackson reported that she co-emceed the first rolling car show last week in her District. She said it was well received. Council Member Marchant said the food truck rally at City Hall held the prior week was nice. He said Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District would serve Millcreek with clean up containers on July 8'h on a registered first-come-first-served basis. 4.3 Staff Reports John Miller said there would be a night closure of Main Street for public works labor in July. He said Millcreek got $125,000 of extra funding on the Main Street project from the County. He said the City had its first solar streetlight that was being piloted. Council Member Marchant requested a light on Richmond Avenue near the Brickyard mall. Miller said the Jupiter Drive jump road work would begin in July. The 3300 S. and 700 E. sidewalk construction would start too. Mayor Silvestrini brought up the hawk crossing on 3300 S. in front of the Jean Massieu School of the Deaf. He said constituents asked for a crosswalk there and UDOT offered to pay for it. 4.4 Unified Police Department Report Detective Jared Nichols reported the May 2020 statistics. He said there were 2,992 calls for service, 1,080 total cases, 318 total citations, and 64 booking arrests. The crime review reflected 28 assaults down 24% from May of last year, 13 burglaries down 41%, 23 drug offenses down 13%, 101 family offenses up 22%, 1191arcenies down 8%, 2 robberies, 2 sexual offenses down 33%, and 20 stolen vehicles down 43%. He said it was overwhelming to see leadership in action with the May 30I'1 protest that UPD assisted Salt Lake City Police Department on. He said there were currently three work orders on graffiti in the City and he could remove the "Black Live Matter" work order if the Council requested that it remain. He said Officer Bettina Allen was recognized with an award. 4.5 Unified Fire Authority Report There was no report. 5.
