He then proclaimed the following: PROCLAMATION HONORING EMERSON CANNON Emerson Cannon spent a lifetime serving his community, his professiort, his family, and his church. He was a long-time corxtributor to his EastMill Creek Commtmity and a distinguished professor of physics at the University of Utah and SaltLake Community College. His research led to theformation of the Utah Research and Development Company. He additionally taught and coached soccer at Cottonwood High School, reaching the state champiorxship. (He schooled his charges in appropriate language everyin the loss in that championship game.) He faithfully served his church in several callings and missions. Emerson contributed to the sttpport of his community in various ways, even loaning morxeyto his txeighborsin their times of need.In his later years, Emerson remained a loyalMillcreekresident, moving to Old Farm. Emerson was well-loved by his community. For his humane nature and his comributions to the greaterMillcreek community, I am pleased to recognize Jurxe 28, 2021, as Emerson Cannon Day in the City of Millcreek. Council Member Marchant said his son had a personal acquaintance with Emerson Cannon. He said he was a wonderful role model.

He said Officer Shaw was the acting sergeant when the sergeant was off.

The Citizens Advisory Board presented Officer Shaw with a gift. Mayor Silvestrini said he attended the Sheriff's award presentation, and a number of Millcreek officers were recognized. 2. Planning Matters 2.1 Public Hearing on Proposed Vacation of a Portion of 1800 East Street from Gregson Avenue to Approximately 3026 South 1800 East Francis Lilly said by way of Millcreek policy and state statute, essential questions need to be answered (paraphrased) for vacations: Was it noticed properly? Does good cause exist for the vacation? Will the public interest or any person be materially injured by the vacation? What is Millcreek's legal interest in the street? What is Millcreek's need for the street, currently and in the foreseeable future? Is it appropriate to be compensated for the right-of-way being given up? Mayor Silvestrini said the concept of vacation is the City giving up some of its right-of-way for a better purpose or because it was no longer useful. Lilly said the vacation was for a portion of 1800 E. Gregson Avenue to 3206 S. (SV-21- 002), the westerly five and a half feet. He said the Kenwood Subdivision plat was approved during the prior year and the private road was dedicated for public use. Since then, there had been a survey dispute on the basis of bearing. He said in consultation with the City's engineering team, the City would be okay with a 45-foot road. He said everyone affected by and in the proximity of the vacation was noticed, per state stahite and city code. Staff recomn'iended a finding of good cause because a targeted vacation resolves an apparent survey discrepancy, the alternative of shi'fting the entire right-of-way +/- 5 feet to the east would impact several property owners, and 1800 East would remain at a +/- 45-foot road, enough to accommodate two travel lanes and a sidewalk on either side. Staff recornrnended a finding that neither the public interest nor any person would be materially injured by the vacation, because: 1800 East would continue to function as a two-way street, 1800 East can be improved with sidewalk (but no park strip) without requiring any additional land to be dedicated in the future, no landowners' access to 1800 East is deprived by virtue of this vacation. Mayor Silvestrini clarified that there would still be a park strip on the other side of the street. Lilly confirmed. Lilly said the that historically, the road was a private road maintained by adjacent property owners, 1800 East from Gregson north was dedicated to the City as part of the Kenwood Subdivision plat in 2020, and a vacation would revert ownership of the underlying land to adjacent property owners, the Whites and the Pickrells. The current and future need for the street was that the proposed vacation was limited to +/- 5 feet along the west right-of-way line, it did not affect the ability of 1800 E. to accommodate two-way vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and sidewalks on either side, and the resulting roadway would lack park strip but would otherwise comply with standards. Lilly expressed confidence in being able to maintain the current street standard. Lilly said compensation of vacations was required in appropriate cases. In light of the fact that the City was petitioning the Council for a vacation in order to resolve a surveying dispute in the cleanest and most limited way possible, staff did not recoinmend Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 28 June 2021 Page 4 of 12 that the City seek compensation for the westerly 6 feet of 1800 East that is to be vacated. Mayor Silvestrini said the City should not require compensation because the owner could claim the dedicating party did not actually own the property when the subdivision was platted. Council Member Marchant presumed service providers still had adequate access. Lilly confirmed. Council Member Catten moved to open the pubUc hearing. Council Member Marchant seconded. Mayor Silvestrini called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. There were no comments. Council Member Catten moved to close the public hearing. Council Member Marchant seconded. Mayor Silvestrini called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. Lilly said he received an email from Marie White, 3055 S. 1800 E. and read it into the record. 'Lyre and I are unable to attend the meeting this Thursday, however wanted to express our support for this property Line adjustment. Would you please have our support for this documented into the records of Thursday's meeting?" 2.2 Public Hearing on Proposed Vacation of a Portion of Chambers Avenue from 1340 East to Approximately 1364 East Francis Lilly said the nature of the vacation was to address the encroachment of the "adventure hub" in Millcreek Common on the right-of-way. He said staff was working on consolidating parcels for the Common. He showed the Council a conceptual drawing of the Common and Chambers Avenue. He said the surrounding property owners were noticed about the vacation and the City owned the property to be vacated, so nobody would be impacted by it. Staff recommended a finding of good cause, because: no building encroachments are allowed so staff is holding the City to the same standards as a private developer, the vacation does not affect the ability for two-way travel to occur on Chambers Avenue after the redesign, and it fiirthers a public project identified in the General Plan and the City Center Master Plan. Staff recommended a finding that neither the public interest nor any person would be materially injured by the vacation, because: the vacation does not affect the ability for two-way travel to occur on Chambers Avenue after the redesign, Millcreek is the sole property owner with frontage along the portion of Chambers Avenue proposed to be vacated, and no other existing business access or pedestrian right-of-way would be adversely affected by the vacation. The current and future need for the street was that the proposed vacation was limited to 11 feet along the south right-of-way line, would not affect the ability of Chambers Avenue to accommodate two-way vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and the resulting roadway would still comply with standards. Lilly said Millcreek is both the legislative authority to vacate a local right-of-way and would be the recipient of the real property that is to be vacated so no compensation was warranted. Council Member Catten asked about the ice house (adventure hub) location. Lilly said it would jut out into the right-of-way and showed her a depiction of it. Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 28 June 2021 Page 5 of 12 Council Member Marchant moved to open the public hearing. Council Member Catten seconded. Mayor Silvestrini called for the vote. All Councn Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. Carol Elliot, 3210 S. Higpland Drive, asked how wide the sidewalks would be. Lilly said along this section of Chambers Avenue it would be more than 20 feet as part of Millcreek Common. She asked if the sidewalks would vary in width between 1300 S. and Highland Drive. Lilly said yes, the standard was 10 feet. She asked if 10-foot sidewalks would be acquired. Lilly did not yet know because engineering had not yet been completed. Council Member Marchant moved to close the public hearing. Council Member Catten seconded. Mayor Silvestrini called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 2.3 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 21-28, Amending Title 18 of the Millcreek Code of Ordinances with Respect to Title Report Requirements Mayor Silvestrini said the Council had a first reading on the matter at their last meeting. Francis Lilly said the goal was to codify a staff requirement as part of a subdivision approval that the City receive a title report within 90 days of recording a mylar. Title reports contain a lot of necessary information about a property that might affect the ability to record a plat. Council Member Marchant moved to approve Ordinance 21-28, which amends code as respects to with Respect to Title Report Requirements. Council Member seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously 3. Financial Matters 3.1 Public Hearing on Opening and Amending the FY 2020-21 General Fund and Capital Improvement Project Fund Budget Laurie Johnson said the final budget amendment was to clean things up. The amendment included a General Fund budget increase in the amount of $3,697,551. All General Fund revenues and expenses were evaluated and increased or decreased based on updated information. The transfer to the General Fund Balance increased to the amount of $2,750,000 and the transfer to the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Fund increased in the amount of $2,695,183. There were increases in the CIP budget in the amount of $3,690,183 with the recognition of $1,000,000 in H.B. 244 funds and the transfer from the General Fund. Mayor Silvestrini said the H.B. 244 funds were appropriated by the Legislature in the last session for transportation purposes and it was the first part of an additional amount that would be paid each year over the next 15 years. He said it would be put towards an overlay, sidewalk, and curb and gutter work on 2000 E. Johnson said the $1 million would be put in the CIP Fund Balance. She said the Storm Water Fund revenues and expenses were also updated based on updated information; both were reduced in the amount of $1,078,000. Johnson reviewed the General Fund revenue budget which had property tax revenue increase by $706,000, sales tax increase by $2.5 million, mass transit tax increase by $250,000, licenses and permits increase by $470,000, Class C Road funds increase by Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 28 June 2021 Page 6 of 12 $250,000, charges for services increase by $40,000, and donations increase by $27,060. She said the $547,454 from Fund Balance would not be needed due to higher revenue with property taxes. Johnson reviewed some of the General Fund expense changes. She said in the Non-Departmental budget, the contribution to Fund Balance went up by $1,099,779 and the transfer to the CIP fund was $2,695,183. She said the Fund Balance was at 26.73%. The CIP Fund revenue and expense budgets reflected the H.B. 244 funds and the transfer from the General Fund. The Storm Water Fund revenue budget decreased by $1,075,000 and the expense budget decreased by $523,500 in the contribution to Fund Balance line item. Council Member Marchant said Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District (WFWRD) would be requesting about $50,000 of reimbursement expenses from the whole District due to the pandemic. Johnson said staff was getting training on how to use the American Recovery Act funds. Those revenues were deferred to the next fiscal year. Johnson said as the Council got requests for those funds, the Council would have to decide what to approve. Mayor Silvestrini said Council Member Uipi emailed the Council a public corni'nent, so he re-opened the public comment section of the meeting and asked the City Recorder to read it into the record. Elyse Sullivan read the following: "Mayor, I would like to read this irx to record thatl am attending tonight's City Cotmcil via phone. I would also like to amend the minutes to reflect that while Councilwoman Jackson asked to be excusedfor tonight's meeting, I had askedfor a virtual option becausewe would be driving backfrom California. You also directed staff to make a virtual option available. I did not asked to be excused, but in your welcome tonight, you excusedmy attendance due to travel. My requestfrom the June 14, 2021 Council meeting should also reflect in our recording. According to our City Attorney, my comments maybe made as a public citizen, butl'm not allowed to vote. We have several critical matters on tonight's agenda, which I did not want to miss. I am extremelyfrustrated thatI am not allowed to represent my district in these conversations and votes. In the beginning, we were able to joirx via phone and vote, and I'm not sure if that also had to be noticed. However, I want to make sure the record reflects to the residents in my district that I ampresent. For all of item 2, I support 2.1, 2.2, and 23. For all of item 3, Isupport 3.2, 3.3, arid 3.4.

The motion passed unanimously. 3.3 Public Hearing on an Appropriation of up to $45,000 to the Community Councils, up to $150,000 for Events, and up to $10,000 for the Rain Barrel Program Rita Lund said this appropriation was standard practice for the City. The cominunity council appropriations were based on population although Canyon Rim Cares may be provided extra funds. She said the Rain Barrel program had been appropriated $5,000 in the past but it was very popular that year. Mayor Silvestrini said the events would be for Venture Out, the community theatre group, the Arts Council summer concerts, and Millfreaks. He said the community council funding allowed for flexibility for the Canyon Rim Cares program and the study accounted for that. He said when the City makes distributions of taxpayer funds to other organizations, a study is conducted from an independent consultant to make a recommendation on whether the expenditure is consistent with the general welfare of the city. The purpose of the public hearing is for comments on the study or contributions. Rita Lund said the contributions for the Canyon Rim Cares Program would go towards snacks for and deep cleaning of the Maliheh Free Clinic, get supplies for students at the Utah Deaf and Blind School, gifts for the Candycane Lane with the YWCA, the little libraries, and letters for the elderly. Council Member Catten asked if the funding was requested. Lund said yes. Council Member Marchant pointed out that the use of the funds extended outside of Canyon Rim.

The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously 4. Business Matters 4.1 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 21-19, Approving the Name Change of 2940 East Street and 3835 South Street to McBride Drive Mayor Silvestrini said the matter was on the agenda at the last meeting and it was continued to enable delivery of notice to the residents on those streets. He said when there is a U shape configuration, County Addressing only allows two legs to be renamed so there are not duplicate addresses. Mayor Silvestrini asked for public comment. There was no cornrnent. Council Member Catten moved to approve Resolution 21-19, Approving the Name Change of 2940 East Street and 3835 South Street to McBride Drive. Council Member Marchant seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 4.2 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 21-27, Regulating, Preventing, and Banning the Discharge of Fireworks Within Areas of the City that are East of 900 East Street Mayor Silvestrini said he and others lobbied the Legislature several years ago to shorten the numbers of days fireworks were able to be lawfully discharged and to enable governments to have more local control over the discharge of fireworks based upon conditions of dryness. He said the Legislature intended to prohibit cities from an outright ban of fireworks, but cities could go through a process to restrict areas that met certain conditions. The restrictions can only be enacted upon the recommendation of the fire marshal. The fire marshal recornrnended the designated restriction line be 900 E. in Millcreek. He said the City could not ban fireworks citywide per code. The Mayor recommended avoiding the use of personal fireworks this season due to the heat and drought. Council Member Marchant said the owners of the firework companies were threatening to sue cities that were banning fireworks entirely for breaking the law. Mayor Silvestrini said if the Council were to enact a restriction that was unlawful, there would not be a successful prosecution against someone who violated that restriction. John Brems read from state statute (Utah Code Ann. 15A-5-202.5), "if the municipal legislative body closes an area to the discharge of fireworks, the legislative body shall close the area along an identifiable feature like a major roadway... ensure that the boundaries in the  Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 28 June 2021 Page 9 of 12 designated enclosed area is as close as is practical to the defined hazardous area, provided that the closed area may include areas outside of the hazardous area..." He felt the statute gave the Council the authority to do as proposed. Mayor Silvestrini said violation of the restriction was an infraction with a $1,000 fine. Council Member Marchant hoped there would be more than warnings issued. Mayor Silvestrini said Millcreek issued a printed newsletter to all residences the prior week, but the publications were sent to the printers one month in advance, so the proposed change would change what was sent out. He said updated maps had been delivered to every firework outlet. Mayor Silvestrini said it was lawful to sell fireworks in Utah so cities could not ban the sale of them. Council Member Catten expressed frustration with legislators for leaving the issue to local governrnent when they have to operate within certain parameters. She felt there was no way to explain the full effect to residents. She hoped for a legislative fix. She pointed out that fireworks were only allowed on the west side of the city. She said surrounding cities had banned fireworks and Millcreek was following state guidelines. Residents do not know the city boundaries. She was encouraged that some firework stands were not stocked. Council Member Marchant said a resident expressed appreciation for the clarification on the standards. He referred residents to the City's electronic newsletter. He said there were two non-emergency numbers residents could call to report firework abuse. Council Member Marchant moved to approve Ordinance 21-27, Regulating, Preventing, and Banning the Discharge of Fireworks Within Areas of the City that are East of 900 East Street. Council Member Catten seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 4.3 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 21-24, Approving the First Amendment to Interlocal Cooperative Agreement behveen Salt Lake County and Millcreek for Park Services Mayor Silvestrini said the interlocal was a renewal of park services for the same amount as the prior year. He reported that parks were being ffiatered less because of the drought and the City had already saved about $60,000. He pointed out, however, that parks had a higher need for watering than private lawns because they were for public use. Council Member Catten moved to approve Resolution 21-24, Approving the First Amendment to Interlocal Cooperative Agreement behveen Salt Lake County and Millcreek for Park Services. Council Member Marchant seconded. The Recorder called for the yote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 4.4 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 21-25, Approving the Renewal of a Lobbyist Service Contract with Capstone Strategies, LLC Mayor Silvestrini said the City's lobbyists were Ashley and Dave Spatafore and their reports were among the best he had ever seen. Council Member Catten requested fireworks legislation be worked on. Council Member Catten moved to approve Resolution 21-25, Approving the Renewal of a Lobbyist Service Contract with Capstone Strategies, LLC. Council Member Marchant Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 28 June 2021 Page 10 of 12 seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 4.5 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 21-26, Approving the Renewal of a Managed Information Technology Service Contract with Les 01son Company Kurt Hansen said in February, the IT provider was changed to Les 01son until the end of the fiscal year. The new contract would follow the fiscal year. The contract increased $100 a month to back up emails. Council Member Marchant asked if the contract was a fixed amount. Hansen said it was fixed at about $6,000 a month. Council Member Marchant moved to approve Resolution 21-26, Approving the Renewal of a Managed Information Technology Service Contract with Les Olson Company. Council Member Catten seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 4.6 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 21-27, Approving the Renewal of a Civil Legal Services Contract Between Millcreek and John N. Brems Mayor Silvestrini said the contract contained a 4% raise which was consistent with what other Millcreek employees received that year. He said Brems devoted his full time to Millcreek and his work was fantastic. Council Member Marchant asked Brems about his work with Herriman. Brems said he no longer represented Herriman. Council Member Marchant moved to approve Resolution 21-27, Approving the Renewal of a Civil Legal Services Contract Between Millcreek and John N. Brems. Council Member Catten seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes.
