WORK MEETING - 6:00 p.m. TIME COMMENCED - 6:02 p.m. Mayor Silvestrini called the work meeting to order. 1. Interlocal Sustainability Action Plan Presentation; Samantha DeSeelhorst, Sustainability Analyst Mayor Silvestrini said Samantha DeSeelhorst collaborates with Cottonwood Heights, Holladay, and Millcreek as a sustainability analyst. DeSeelhorst said the Interlocal Sustainability Action Plan's purpose was to: 1) coordinate sustainability efforts among the tri- city region of Millcreek, Holladay, and Cottonwood Heights; 2) provide a consistent sustainability vision for the future; 3) clarify city sustainability goals for interested community members; and 4) qualify for various sustainability grants and incentives. Council Member Marchant asked for a definition of sustainability. DeSeelhorst said it could be broken down into incentives and ideas for a safe and healthy community now and in the future with the human and non-human components of the eco system. Council Member Marchant asked if it included social awareness, environmental safety, and law enforcement. DeSeelhorst said there were tl'iree pillars: environmental, public health, and fiscal. She said the Plan's scope attempted to balance the needs of all three cities. Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 24 May 2021 Page 2 of 8 DeSeelhorst then reviewed the Plan with the Council and asked for their feedback. The Plan included the main sections of development, energy use, landscaping, transportation, and waste management which included suggested policies, and the auxiliary sections of content, introduction, city context, key terms, and plan partners. In the City Context section, Mayor Silvestrini asked DeSeelhorst to include Millcreek's proximity to the Jordan River and efforts to double track the trail there and ensure water quality in the River as economic and recreational resources. Mike Winder pointed out that Millcreek is a Monarch City, and the Millcreek Business Council has an Environmental Committee for businesses to give back to the community. Council Member Marchant suggested adding the annual community area clean ups. Council Member Uipi recornrnended the Millcreek Promise Program and the Millcreek Youth Council's efforts as other inclusions. Rita Lund said the City did have a recycling committee, but it had not met in over a year. In the Development section, Mayor Silvestrini pointed out that there is a minimum requirement for solar panels in Millcreek Common that could be added. Council Member Uipi pointed out there is glass recycling in the City. Mike Winder said staff was working on designating Millcreek as a recycling market development zone. In the Energy Use section, Council Member Jackson suggested adding "continue researching" to the first policy in the strategy of supporting energy programs so the cities were not tied to participation in Utah's Community Renewable Energy Program. Council Member Catten suggested the words "continue engaging." In the Landscaping section, Council Member Jackson asked if the policy on having an inventory of trees was for all trees or just the ones in the park. DeSeelhorst said starting with city property would be a place to start. Mayor Silvestrini said Salt Lake County Parks may already have an inventory of Millcreek's trees since they maintain the parks. DeSeelhorst continued reviewing the last two sections of Transportation and Waste Management without further cornrnent firom the Council. Mayor Silvestrini asked what the next step was. DeSeelhorst said each of the three cities would adopt the plan. 2. First Reading of Ordinance Amending Title 2 Chapter 49 of the Millcreek Code of Ordinances Entitled Street Addressing and Property Identification John Brems said the code changes included requiring 100% of property owners' signatures and putting the cost of street name changes on the applicant. Council Member Uipi said the fee schedule would be updated to include the associated fees. Mayor Silvestrini said there were charges from the County that the City was not aware of when the process was initiated by a resident. Brems said code would be for an actual change in the street name, not a ceremonial name. Council Member Uipi said there was concern about safety and first responders' response time with name changes. Brems acknowledged that a lot of records would need to be updated by the owner if a street name was changed. Council Member Uipi asked how long it would take Google Maps to update addresses. Brems did not know. Mayor Silvestrini said dispatch would need to be updated quickly for emergency response. Nancy Cormack-Hughes, 3794 S. 2940 E., pointed out that there were street name problems in her neighborhood. She then read a statement to the Council about her experience in submitting a street name change petition for 2940 E. and 3835 S. to be renamed as McBride Drive (see attached). Council Member Uipi expressed support for Cormack-Hughes' effort. She asked the Council to let the petition be grandfathered with the old ordinance. Council Member Marchant asked Mfflcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 24 May 2021 Page 3 of 8 about getting the remaining 3 signatures for 100% property owner consent on her street. Cormack-Hughes said a neighbor was offended because lier family had lived on the street longer than the McBrides, which is why she did not want to sign the petition. There was also hesitancy from the other two. Mayor Silvestrini said he supported her petition. 3. Biocontrol for Rodents Presentation; Colleen Farmer, Mfflcreek Resident Colleen Farmer, 3150 Louise Avenue, said she had lived in Millcreek for 25 years and her neighborhood had a problem with rats and gophers. She said she had lived abroad where urban foxes were present to control rodents. She pointed out that Utah had native foxes and gopher snakes. She has tried pest control, exterminators, traps, and nothing has worked. Her neighbors shared enthusiasm for the biocontrol. Mayor Silvestrini asked if foxes were a threat to domestic animals. Farmer did not think so but said she was not an expert and asked the Council to consider the idea if they were open to pursuing it. Council Member Jackson asked if she had neighbors with chickens. Farmer said yes, but the rats were there before the chickens. Council Member Jackson asking if there were any neighborhood cats roaming. Farmer said that only some domestic cat breeds were interested in rats; she had adopted two cats and they did not do anything. She suggested tagging the snakes to see where the rats are going. Council Member Jackson asked about Salt Lake County Animal Services having issues with the City introducing wildlife. Fan'ner said she did not know of any restrictions. Council Member Uipi pointed out that the Salt Lake County Health Department was a resource. Council Member Catten brought up that foxes would not help the rat problem. She said she has chickens, and the foxes eat her chickens, but also that her neighborhood used to have rats when there was a hoarding neighbor. She wondered if there was an unrecognized problem. Fan'ner said she once had a racer snake in her yard and that year she did not have any rats. Mayor Silvestrini said research needed to be done and he asked the Millcreek Communications Department to look into it. 4. Staff Reports There were none. 5. Discussion of Agenda Items, Correspondence, and/or Future Agenda Items There were none. Council Member Uipi moved to adjourn the work meeting at 7:08 p.m. Council Member Jackson seconded. Mayor Silvestrini called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. REGULAR MEETING - 7:00 p.m. TIME COMMENCED: 7:12 p.m. 1.

Austin Avenue, said she was putting in a bid for U.S. Senate next year and wanted to listen to the Council meeting. 1.3 Mmcreek Precinct Officer of the Month for April 2021 Chief Steve DeBry announced Officer Zachary Bench as the Millcreek Precinct Officer of the Month for April 2021. Officer Bench recovered a child listed in an Amber Alert. The Citizens Advisory Board presented Officer Bench with a certificate and gift.

Mayor Silvestrini said by selecting an appreciation day, instead of a week or a month, was not a slight. Council Member Marchant pointed out that the prior week was National Law Enforcement Appreciation Week. Mayor Silvestrini apologized for missing the national week. He and Council Member Uipi expressed gratitude for law enforcements' service. 1.5 Proclamation June 2021 as Pride Month in Mfflcreek Mayor Silvestrini said several residents requested the following proclamation. He pointed out that the month of June is recognized as Pride Month, but every day should be pride day because the Council appreciates the contribution of all residents, including those of the LGBTQ+ community.

Business Matters 2.1 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 21-19, Regulating, Preventing, and Banning the Discharge of Fireworks within Certain Areas of The City Mayor Silvestrini said every year, pursuant to State law, the City works with the Fire Marshal to designate areas of the city that are particularly prone to wildland fire danger. He said the map was the same as last year. He encouraged residents to be extremely cautious because Utah was in a severe drought. He noted that there were two fires in Millcreek the prior year and the opportunity for more was greater this year. Council Member Jackson asked if the map could change before July. Mayor Silvestrini said an emergency declaration could change it, but the City would look to the State for guidance. Council Member Jackson moved to adopt Ordinance 21-19, Regulating, Preventing, and Banning the Discharge of Fireworks within Certain Areas of The City. Council Member Uipi seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 2.2 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 21-20, Cancelling All Current Declarations of a Local State of Emergency Mayor Silvestrini said during the prior year he heard that Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz player) had tested positive with COVID-19 and that he had interacted with elementary school students in Millcreek, so he had issued a state of local emergency for the pandemic. He also issued a state of emergency with a windstorm in September 2020. There were directives issued for the pandemic emergency. The directives suspended parking requirements so restaurants could serve outside and suspended the sign ordinances so businesses could better advertise their business. He said there would be notices to the business about this updated change. Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 24 May 2021 Page 6 of 8 Council Member Marchant moved to approve Ordinance 21-20, Cancelling All Current Declarations of a Local State of Emergency. Council Member Catten seconded. Mayor Silvestrini encouraged Millcreek residents to take advantage of vaccines. Council Member Marchant also requested that residents be respectful of businesses that still required masks to be worn. Mayor Silvestrini said Millcreek was on track to be reimbursed for the windstorm emergency because of the declaration of Iocal emergency. Council Member Catten said the last year had impacted a lot of people. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. Mayor Silvestrini expressed appreciation for the Council and staff. 3. Reports 3.1 Mayor's Report Mayor Silvestrini said Millcreek received about $3.9 million in American Rescue Plan funds. Only 16 cities in Utah qualified with populations over 50,000 people. The regulations for the use of the funds are still in draft form. He said he had an upcoming meeting with Congressman Blake Moore on transportation. 3.2 City Council Member Reports Council Member Catten said there were now signs at Big Cottonwood Park that said, "no feeding the foxes" and thanked staff for installing them at her request. She reported that Howard Holfeltz, a longtime member of the Millcreek Community Council, passed away. Council Member Jackson said bids had been received for preliminary design work, parking, and a noise study related to putting in pickleball courts at Canyon Rim Park. The Council agreed to move forward with that project. Council Member Uipi thanked Mike Winder and Josie Showalter for hosting a successful job fair the prior week. She said she attended the 3300 S. Vision project meeting. Council Member Marchant said Millcreek had a 27.65% contamination rate for recycling. The average rate is 25%. Council Member Catten asked if the contaminators could be identified. Council Member Marchant said one can of contamination could ruin a whole truck load. Council Member Uipi asked about grocery stores charging for plastic bags. Mayor Silvestrini said stores might start allowing personal bags now that the pandemic had curbed. 3.3 Staff Reports Francis Lilly said he presented to the Planning Commission a potential zone text amendment that would make targeting and discreet specific changes to the City Center Overlay Zone (CCOZ) to accommodate specific developments in a City Center Overlay Zone - Development Agreement (CCOZ-DA). There were three potential projects this zone would affect in the City Center, one with the new city hall, one on the old Comcast property, and one with a potential sky bridge across 3300 S. Staff would like to have the ability to work with developers on potential alternatives to the code. He said the community councils were in favor of the ordinance however the Planning Commission had concerns, so they continued the application and would have a work meeting to discuss the matter. Mayor Silvestrini said each project could be dealt with as a zone change but the problem would be to allow that for any other project prospect in the City Center. Council Member Jackson asked for clarification on the process. Lilly said it would be a rezone for each of the projects, so it would be tied to a development Mnlcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 24 May 2021 Page 7 of 8 agreement, Council Member Jackson asked how the institutional knowledge and parameters would remain intact. Mayor Silvestrini said the CCOZ and the General Plan would set the standards otherwise. Mike Winder said if a development came along that was better than what the CCOZ allowed, then there could be a development agreement negotiation under the new zone, but if it was not better, the CCOZ would prevail. He suggested the CCOZ-DA zone have a sunset provision. Council Members Jackson and Uipi expressed favor for the sunset provision. Mayor Silvestrini pointed out that the Council would make a final determination based on plans and the interests of the public. Lilly said the Council had wide discretion and if something did not work, it could be changed. Rita Lund said the FLAP grant was approved for Millcreek Canyon. Mayor Silvestrini said Millcreek had been a partner with that application, so Millcreek may need to contribute funds. 3.4 Unified Fire Authority Report Chief Duane Woolsey said the recruit camp just finished. The battalion chief test wrapped up with 10 candidates on the list. He announced a recent retirement and three promotions to squad bosses. He said there would be an exceptional higher elevation wildfire season. 3.5 Unified Police Department Report Mayor Silvestrini said the search and rescue teams had a lot of calls recently and he thanked them for their work. Chief Steve DeBry said there had been 13 call outs and the teams were unpaid volunteers with the Sheriff's Office. He thanked the Mayor for the Law Enforcement Appreciation Proclamation. He thanked Council Member Marchant for visiting the Millcreek Precinct with gifts during National Law Enforcement Appreciation Week. He said he recommended a flat budget for the Precinct for the coming budget year. Mayor Silvestrini noted that the City maintained a reserve with property taxes collected to pay for police services and the Millcreek Precinct had a fund balance. He said the Precinct had an under expend, spending less money than what is in the budget, thanks to Chief DeBry's management. Council Member Uipi asked if there had been any discussions on more funding on mental health services. Mayor Silvestrini said there would be future budget discussions about that. Chief DeBry said that unit was funded by County General not UPD or any other source. He reported there would be extra patrols during high school graduation week. Chief DeBry presented the April 2021 crime statistics. There were 3,196 calls for service, 983 total cases, 282 total citations, and 53 booking arrests. There were 33 assaults, 20 burglaries, 19 drug offenses, 69 family offenses, 1 attempted homicide, 130 larcenies, 6 robberies, 7 sex offenses, and 33 stolen vehicles. He reported on the recent enforcement at the Holiday Hills Apartments and the incidents with arrests and search warrants the Community Crime Suppression Unit had aided in. He reported that the Millcreek Traffic Enforcement Officers and the Cornrnunity Oriented Policing (COP) Unit conducted a pedestrian safety operation at 3665 S. 900 E. The operation was aimed to educate and bring awareness to drivers of pedestrian safety and 40 citations were issued as a result. Also, COP Detectives partnered with Salt Lake County Health Department to clean-up several large transient campsites on Van Winkle Expressway. Due to the number of Millcreek City Councn Meeting Minutes 24 May 2021 Page 8 of 8 campsites and waste, this clean-up would be ongoing, but 2000 pounds of waste was removed in April. Mayor Silvestrini said he had been collaborating with other governments and agencies on homelessness strategies. They would like to focus on getting people out of resource centers and into treatment. Chief DeBry said it would be a collaborative effort to take care of the issue. Council Member Marchant asked about persoru'iel count. Chief DeBry said the Precinct was short four people due to Taylorsville leaving UPD. He said the climate was tough for police officers and the pay was not as good as other professions. 4.

The motion passed unanimously. Jeff Silvestrin-i, Mayor Attest: Elys'effliSZ, City Recorder  The Rev. Nancy J. Cormack-Hughes 3794 S 2940 E Millcreek, UT 84109 City Hall of Millcreek 3330 S 1300 E Millcreek, UT 84106 May 24, 2021 Dear Mr. Mayor and the Council of the City of Millcreek, I was invited to make a statement to you regarding the requested re-naming of 2940 E/3835 S to McBride Drive. I therefore am sharing with you the timeline and process that has been followed for this purpose: On April 8, 2020 (the day after Audrey McBride died) I made email inquiry of the City of Millcreek about possibly changing the name of our street. Communications Director, Rita Lund, kindly replied the same day and wrote: "Millcreek has a process for street renaming outlined here: * Street Name Approval: The resident would request a new street name approval from Millcreek. * Petition: After the new street name has been approved, the resident would need to acquire at least 75% of the signatures of property owners on a petition to rename the street. ReviewofPetition: CompletedpetitionwouldcometoMillcreekforverificationthatitmeets requirements. City Council Process: Request would be submitted to the City Council who will refer the request to an advisory committee for consideration. Advisory Committee Process: At least one public meeting will be scheduled to collect public comment after which an analysis and recommendation will be submitted to the City Council. City Council Approval: The City Council may accept, reject or modify the recommendation and make a final determination. Fees: Resident is required to pay all associated fees and pay the cost of new street signs (approximately S200 each plus a 5150 administrative fee). Documentation: Documentation will be filed with the Salt Lake County Recorder's office. * Notification: Propertyownerswouldbenotifiedoffinalizedstreetnamechange." Ms. Lund and I did some more emailing back and forth, and she verified that the name, "McBride Drive" was available. On 4/17/20 she attached a map with all the addresses that would be affected by the street name change. lsee attached, Document#l] We continued correspondence as I asked for clarification to make sure I was proceeding appropriately. On 5/9/20 I began circulating the petition to the addresses noted on the map given to me. (Notably Mr. McBride died on 5/10/20.) As I walked the neighborhood, I had several questions arise, so I decided to put together and information sheet from information I had obtained by directly contacting the following agencies: Salt Lake County Recorder's Office, the Millcreek Post Office, the Driver License Division, and the Salt Lake County Addressing office. lsee attached, Document #2] On 6/28/20 I emailed Ms. Lund with 12 signed petitions-75% of the street, per instruction. (l also had received donations of S350, which Ithought at the time would cover the costs-5200 for the sign and S150 administrative fee; ironically, I had another donation that I returned because I did not think it was needed). On 6/30/20 I received a reply that the petitions were being forwarded "to Fred Lutze who will move this to a council meeting agenda." I heard nothing back for months, and made email inquiry on occasion. In October 2020, I received a phone call from the city and was told the petition was not valid because of a typo in the prose description (not in the actual signed petition), thus it needed to be re-done. Per City request, I re-wrote the petition, re-contacted the all the neighbors; notably some had since moved. It took a while given the holidays and other personal issues. On 2/9/2021 I emailed the 12 signed updated petitions to the City (via Ms. Lund and the city planner). On 2/11/21 I also email Councilperson Uipi with the petitions. On 2/19/21 I heard back from Ms. Lund who wrote: "The city attorney has reviewed and approved as to form the petition for the street name change. The next step is to present to the East Mill Creek Community Council for their recommendation." This was a new step, but I was glad to do what was needed. On 2/26/21 It was suggested that I simply write a letter to the EMCCCfor their review. On 2/28/21 my letter was emailed to Ms. Lund and Councilperson Uipi. On 3/4/21 the EMCCC emailed a letter giving their approval. lsee attached, Document #3] Also on that date I received an email from the City that I would be invited to speak to this at the City Council meeting on April 12, 2021. On 4/1/21 I received an email from Ms. Lund which Ilearned for the first time that this request for a street name change was the first time the City of Millcreek has done this. The email included: "This is the first resident initiated request Millcreek has had and we are attempting to determine our process. We have also learned that the county has some additional charges that we were not aware of. There is an administrative fee of !>250 and a S50 fee per address. The petitioner is also responsible for the street sign replacement which is around 5200 per sign. Ijust learned of these charges and I apologize that you were not made aware of them initially." This was when I was first made aware that there would be 3 street signs and not just one. In my reply, I noted the change of anticipated costs, from a total of S350, to an additional Sl,650 (consisting of 51,050 for SLCO, S600 for three signs). On 4/12/21 I spoke at the City Council meeting-which was a slightly amended re-statement of what I wrote the EMCCC; I understand that letter to the City Council was put in the minutes. Finally, on 5/19/21, Councilperson Uipi personally contacted me by phone, and let me know one of the houses on the map given to me (on 4/17/20) was actually not on the potential McBride drive, therefore, the petition is not valid because it does not reach 75%; we discussed getting one more petition-which on 5/23/21 was completed. [see attached, Document #4] We also discussed the street name change and the County fees. She invited me to either make a statement or to come to the working meeting of the City Council on 5/24/21. That brings me to today-well over a year afterI began this process. Fifty-nine weeks ago I had no idea that this could become so complicated, nor so expensive. I also understand that the City-Ms. Lund, Ms. Uipi, the city attorney, other city employees, and the City Council have put in time with this request. I personally have put in hours upon hours. Therefore, I respectfully request that any new city policy around street re-naming which increases petitions needed, or increases costs, not be applied to this petition for McBride Drive. I further respectfully request that the City of Millcreek assist with the Salt Lake County fees that were imposed after the beginning of this request and petitions. Several neighbors donated to the amount initially detailed, and to go back and ask for more feels most disrespectful of the original intent. Sincerely, Rev. Nancy J. Cormack-Hughes
