WORK MEETING - 6:00 p.m. TIME COMMENCED: 6:00 p.m. Mayor Silvestrini called the work meeting to order. He recognized John Geilmann, City Manager, and said for health reasons he had tendered his resignation. John Geilmann said in June 2017 he started the process to become the City Manager. He recognized his wife, Cindy Geilmann, in the audience as a support to him. He then read his sentiments to the Council. He said he had two personal philosophies. First, always try to empower others to do their best. The concept being, if you think or feel you are the best, you will always try to do your best. He felt that happened with staff at Millcreek. The book, "Good to Millcreek City Councn Meeting Minutes 27 July 2020 Page 2 of 11 Great" had been a big part of his staffing. He said Millcreek was a great city with a great mayor and council, so he needed to have a great staffing team. He felt he had gotten the right people on the bus and the right person on the riglit seat on the bus. He asked that the bus theme be continued. He thanked the Council for letting him be part of something great. He gave them a double sided yardstick that posed the question, "Is this in the best interest of the whole city?" on one side and, "Never put that which matters most at the mercy of that which matters least" on the other side. He told the Council to set priorities, make decisions, and go after the top ones. He read, "The Zoad in the Road" poem by Dr. Seuss. He went on to say that true leadership only exists if people follow when they have the freedom not to. He expressed his love and appreciation for the Mayor, Council, and staff. He closed by saying his second personal philosophy, which is if you are going to go through what it takes to compete, you might as well put your whole heart and effort into it. So, play to win! Mayor Silvestrini thanked Geilmann for serving the City, hiring great staff, and using the right tools to implement quality and motivate others, and said Geilmaru'i was not replaceable. He said it was an honor to work with him and presented Geilmann with a plaque honoring his service as the City's first City Manager. Council Member Uipi expressed appreciation for Geilmaru'i's work. Council Member Jackson said Geilmaru"i set the right tone for the City. Council Member Catten expressed appreciation for his leadership. Council Member Marchant told Geilmann to enjoy his retirement and expressed his love for him. 1. Promise Program Annual Report; Ashley Cleveland, Promise Program Manager Ashley Cleveland thanked the Council for creating the Millcreek Promise Program and its mission statement. She said the program was announced on January 10, 2018 and she started working in it in May of that year. She said Millcreek Promise will work to change discriminating and inequitable community conditions to address barriers to education, health and safety, and economic wellbeing. The initiative will be a catalyst for youth success, creating opportunities, and mitigating issues facing many of the City's young people and their families. There is list of mutual community goals, which are education, safety, health, and economic wellbeing, and 4 subcommittees, 2 support committees, and many community partners working towards those goals. She reviewed the committees and their 2019 attendance statistics, what they were doing, and what they planned to do. She went through the process for developing action plans; identify major drivers, narrow and prioritize drivers, identify interventions based on drivers, and narrow and prioritize interventions. She reviewed the Promise Program funding since inception which included a number of grants, donations, and fundraising. Cleveland described the Phase II improvements for Sunnyvale Park and the pandemic influenced changes to the Saturday Farmers Market. She said she had increased the Promise Program funding by 400% in the last year and a half. Cleveland highlighted program achievements over the last year in each of the community goal areas. In education, the Program received a grant to start after school programming at Mill Creek Elementary, launched a volunteer reading with kids program, and installed ten little libraries throughout the community. In safety, the Program received a grant for improvements to Sunnyvale Park, and the subcommittee was focused on domestic violence and mental health resources for minoritized residents. In health, there was a suicide prevention task force working with the schools, gardening boxes had been set up in Sunnyvale Park, and there were food drives in the schools. In economic wellbeing, there had been work done on digital inclusion with subsidized and free internet programs. The long-term growth for the Program included work on Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 27 July 2020 Page 3 of 11 policy, grants, local engagement, and advocacy. She asked the Council questions on the Program's growth. She said the Program would be able to accept volunteer applications and donations on the City's website. The City had the Program to promote equity, inclusion, and diversity. Mayor Silvestrini suggested planning another meeting with Ashley Cleveland to go more into depth about the Promise Program. The Council decided to email any questions to Cleveland for preparation for a follow-up work session. Council Member Marchant moved to move items 3-5 to the end of the regular meeting. Council Member Jackson seconded. Mayor Silvestrini called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 2. Planning Matters First Reading a. ZM-20-006, Request to Rezone from R-l-10 & R-1-21 to R-1-21 at 3646 Viewcrest Circle; Erin O'Kelley, Planner Erin O'Kelley said the applicant was proposing to rezone property located at 3646 Viewcrest Circle originally platted as two separate residential lots in the Mount Olympus Hills subdivision plats. The property was currently zoned R-1-10. The vacant area behind the house was zoned R-1-21. The applicant would like to put a guesthouse on the property which was permitted in the R-1-21 zone. By definition, a guesthouse must be located on the same lot of the main dwelling. Therefore, a lot consolidation was required. However, Millcreek code requires that the consolidation of two previously subdivided lots must be re-platted to reflect the property boundary changes. The proposed plat and consolidation would result in a split zone lot where one zone allows guesthouses and one zone does not. The City required the applicant to rezone the property in addition to the subdivision application. The rezone would be in harmony with the General Plan. The neighborhood had concerns about construction, utility maintenance, use of the guesthouse as a short-term rental, and obstruction of view and privacy but most were in support of the rezone and proposal. The Mt. Olympus Community Council and Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezone with the zoning conditions that short-term rentals would be prohibited, and animals would be limited to household pets. Mayor Silvestrini said the Council did not entertain public comment on first reading items but would when it came back to the Council for action. Mayor Silvestrini asked for public comment. There was none. b. ZM-20-007, Request to Rezone from R-1-21 to R-1-8 at 3500 S. Hillside Lane; Erin O'Kelley, Planner Erin O'Kelley said the applicant was requesting preliminary plat approval for a 3-lot subdivision, 2 traditional lots that front Hillside Lane and one flag-lot with access off Hillside Lane. The lots would meet the minimum requirements of the R-1-8 zone. The applicant would not be demolishing the existing house on the proposed Lot 2. Millcreek was requiring a rezone application associated with the proposed subdivision due to the fact the property was currently a split zoned parcel. A portion of the lot was zoned R-1-21. The proposed subdivision was created to comply with the minimum lot standards for the R-1-8 zone, which consists of most of the property. For the subdivision to meet all applicable zoning and subdivision requirements the entire parcel needed to be zoned R-1-8. O'Kelley Mfflcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 27 July 2020 Page 4 of 11 said staff had a policy to clean up zoning where possible. She showed the Council the proposed subdivision plat, buildable area, and the floodplain boundary. Council Member Jackson asked if there would be separate driveways. O'Kelley said yes. Mayor Silvestrini said residents had expressed concern about safety. Mayor Silvestrini said the owner could potentially demolish the existing home and could put in 5 lots so the proposed 3 lot subdivision would probably be the best use for the property. O'Kelley said the proposal would be designated as Neighborhood 1 in the General Plan. She said there were neighborhood concerns about safety, traffic, construction, and the three driveways. The East Mill Creek Comi'nunity Council and Planning Commission recornrnended approval of the rezone. Mayor Silvestrini said whether the property was rezoned or not, the property would probably still be redeveloped. He said the City should consider constructing sidewalk on the neighboring property to improve the safety of the neighborhood. O'Kelley said approximately 133 feet of improvements would be installed along the proposed frontage of the lots and the ditch would be addressed. Mayor Silvestrini asked for public comment. There was none. Council Member Jackson moved to recess the work meeting at 7:17 p.m. Council Member Marchant seconded. Mayor Silvestrini called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. REGULAR MEETING - 7:00 p.m. TIME COMMENCED: 7:25 p.m. 1. Welcome, Introduction and Preliminary Matters 1.1 Pledge of Allegiance Mayor Silvestrini called the meeting to order.

He then led the pledge of allegiance. 1.2 Unified Police Department Mnlcreek Precinct Officer of the Month for June 2020 Chief Steve DeBry recognized Officer Jonathan Richardson as Officer of the Month for June 2020. He read a letter from the family of Verdi White describing Officer Richardson's involvement in saving White's life. Verdi White said he was humbled and grateful for the officer who was trained and had the courage and leadership to seamlessly perform CPR on him. He was pleased that Officer Richardson was recognized by his department. The Citizens Advisory Board presented Officer Richardson with a gift.

Planning Matters Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 27 July 2020 Page 5 of 11 2.1 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 20-29, Approving Appointments to the Planning Commission Mayor Silvestrini said Millcreek planning commissioners serve 4-year terms.

He said a lot of commercial properties were transitioning into mixed use concepts and staff was not getting the type of projects wanted. They were considering adding reasonable minimums for commercial space. The Planning Cominission supported the draft ordinance but requested more time to review it and asked the Council to adopt a pending ordinance to hold off new applications before the ordinance was adopted. Mayor Silvestrini said the commercial zones were being lost to residential so a mixed-use requirement to the ground floor had been added to the code. He described projects that had issues with commercial requirements. Council Member Jackson asked about the new commercial requirements. Lilly said they were considering requiring a minimum of 100 feet of frontage on a principle arterial, incentivizing commercial to be in a separate structure, or having a 30% commercial requirement on larger lots.

Reports 4.1 Mayor's Report Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 27 July 2020 Page 9 of 11 Mayor Silvestrini said staff had been working on a draft advertisement for a new city manager. He said the Millcreek city governrnent has had a mayor that has been 'functioning in more of an administrative role so they should be looking for someone that could be a city manager/city administrator. He said Laurie Johnson did a salary survey and Millcreek was on the low end for pay for a city manager. Council Member Jackson asked if hiring a city administrator was allowable per state statute. John Brems said Millcreek's form of government was 5-member council, so it was up to the Council as to what the position was. He said a city manager could be created by ordinance. Council Member Uipi asked what a future council would deal with if the city manager was downgraded to a city administrator. Mayor Silvestrini said it could be changed based on circumstances. Council Member Catten asked if the City could advertise for both. Mayor Silvestrini said it would be advertised as city manager/city administrator.

Mayor Silvestrini said the Canyon Rim Citizens Association had requested that their meetings be held at City Hall with staff assistance. He felt that if there was no city business for the month on their agenda, that they should conduct their meetings on their own. Council Member Uipi did not want city staff supporting meetings that did not have city business. 4.2 City Council Member Reports Council Member Uipi said she met with Ashley Cleveland on policing in the community. That policing comi'nittee decided to move forward with having a town hall on policing on August 1 7Ih. The purpose would be to gather information from residents and have education provided. She said it could be conducted at City Hall with the option for electronic participation. Mayor Silvestrini said he wanted to discuss local issues, to listen, and not get into arguments. Council Member Uipi said the safety and policing committees were separate and policing was not affiliated with the Promise Program. The Council discussed having a FAQ sheet in advance and the night of. Council Member Jackson reported that she and the Mayor attended the Canyon Rim Cares Event. She thanked the team for getting it organized. 4.3 Staff Reports Rita Lund said the last drive-in movie for Venture Out would be on Wednesday night and the food truck nights would extend through August.

He said his officers were dedicated to their job though they had recently been met with difficult times. He said any time force was used other than in making an arrest it was reviewed through an extreme vetting process.

Discussion on Potential Redistricting Commission Mayor Silvestrini said the County was soliciting volunteers to serve on a redistricting cornrnission and wondered if the City would be interested in doing one too. He said they could create a cornrnission to recommend to the Council redistricting boundaries. He said the city's races were non-partisan, so they would look to make logical boundaries. He asked the Council if they wanted public involvement. Council Member Jackson mentioned having planning staff make a recommendation that would then be reviewed by the comi'nunity councils. Council Member Uipi said she would like more than one recommendation from planning staff. Mayor Silvestrini suggested forming a committee from community council members.
