The meeting was live streamed via the City's website with an option for online public comment. PRESENT: Council Members City Staff Jeff Silvestrini, Mayor John Brems, City Attorney Silvia Catten, District Elyse Sullivan, City Recorder Thom DeSirant, District 2 Mike Winder, City Manager Cheri Jackson, District 3 Laurie Johnson, HR-Finance Director Bev Uipi, District 4 (excused) Francis Lilly, Planning & Zoning Director Kurt Hansen, Facilities Director Robert May, Long Range Planner Katie Larsen, Planner Carlos Estudillo, Plai'u'ier Attendees: Emily Johnson (electronic), Molly Enos (electronic), Chief Steve DeBry, Chief Duane Woolsey, Kaye Donahoe, Laurel Osborn, Andrea Maxfield, Tiffany Hunter Greene, Ryan Lufkin, Peter Brinton, and Susan Marks WORK MEETING - 5:30 p.m. TIME COMMENCED - 5:33 p.m. Mayor Silvestrini called the work meeting to order. He excused Council Member Uipi. 1. Planning Matters First Readings: la. ZT-22-001, Text Amendment of the Commercial Design Standards for Chapter 19.60 for the Mixed-Use and Development Requirements; Robert May, Long Range Planner Robert May said the text amendment was for commercial zones and was applicant-initiated. The text amendment was an addition to the standards allowing for the "depth" of commercial space to be measured parallel and along the street frontage or perpendicular to the street frontage and would be limited to the live/work units only. Staff and the applicant made the proposed text easier to understand after visiting with the cominunity councils and Planning Commission. The changes restricted the depth definition to live/work units only, that the building must be two stories, and the depth be no less than 12 feet. Council Member DeSirant asked if the term "may" should be "must" or "shall" in the definition in having a minimum of a 12-foot depth. The City Attorney suggested the wording, "shall have at least." May showed Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 11 April 2022 Page 2 of 11 the Council a rendering of a building following the proposed definition and a diagram illustrating it. The Millcreek Community Council, East Mill Creek Cornrnunity Council, and Canyon Rim Citizens Association were comfortable with the proposed text amendment and voted to recommend approval if it meant creating helpful alternatives for developers and not forgoing viable commercial space. The Mt. Olympus Community Council had concerns with the space being viable and usable commercial space. However, when presented with the option to limit the proposed text amendment to live/work units and that it must consist of two stories, a motion was passed to recommend approval. The Planning Commission had similar conversations about needing viable commercial space and discussed prohibiting the code within 500 feet from a major intersection to eliminate the possibility of narrow live/work units being located near active commercial centers. May reviewed the staff findings. The proposed text amendment provides clarity for how "depth" is measured while designing live/work units and provides another feasible alternative for developers creating mixed-use projects. The concerns within the proposed text of losing commercial presence is satisfied by curtailing the definition to live/work commercial spaces only, as these spaces tend to be small areas designed as office space with no visiting customers. That, and by requiring two-stories increases the amount of commercial floor space which makes the space more viable and attractive to future tenants. Prohibiting the proposed code from being used within a five-hundred-foot radius from major intersections helps secure Millcreek's more prominent and active commercial areas. Staff recommended approval of the proposed text amendment. Council Member DeSirant asked if the tenant sold their residence if the next tenant would be required to use the live/work under the same restrictions. May said the tenants would be required to follow the same requirements. Council Member DeSirant asked about enforcement. May said through the business license or a zoning violation. Mayor Silvestrini said it would be processed as a zoning violation, a residential use in cornrnercial space. May said there would be notes recorded on the subdivision plat. Ib. ZM-22-002, Rezone from RM to MD to Accommodate a Mixed-Use Development Consisting of 423 Residential Units and a Neighborhood Grocery Store at 175 W. Central Avenue; Robert May, Long Range Planner Robert May said he had been working with the developer on the project for a year. He showed the Council images of the property in its current state and explained how the project had an opportunity to connect trails in Millcreek and Murray and would be transit-oriented due to its proximity to transit stops. May showed the Council proposed building renderings, a site plan, and a landscape plan. The Millcreek Off-Street Parking Code would require 870 parking spaces prior to any shared parking reduction or parking study analysis. The applicant was seeking a parking reduction for the project by 19.5% and would provide 669 parking spaces. The reduction consisted of a 3% shared parking reduction and an additional 16.5% parking reduction based on the results of a parking study performed by Hales Engineering. The proximity to the transit stations was justification, per code, to request a parking reduction. After the parking study was conducted, the unit type changed slightly. There was a difference of 55 1-bedroom units being converted to studios which resulted in a positive net roughly equaling 41 parking spaces. This changes the required residential parking spaces firom 841 to 800. The traffic study found all study intersections to be at an acceptable level of service. Mfflcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 11 April 2022 Page 3 of 11 There would be another traffic study conducted that reviewed the impact on Murray streets and intersections. Mayor Silvestrini asked how many property owners attended the neighborhood meeting. May said half a dozen. Council Member Catten asked why the parking reduction was requested. May said the required parking would have been 841 stalls, which would have taken up a large percentage of the property. He did want the project overparked and the transit-oriented development was a qualifier to allow the reduction. Council Member Catten expressed concern about parking. She asked if the city required developers to make complete streets when adding access to transit-oriented areas and adding a bike lane. She expressed concern for the one-way street from Central to Coinmerce and wondered if the bridge could be widened. May said a bike lane was discussed but the 10-foot path could be shared with bikes and pedestrians. The proposal met private road standards. Mayor Silvestrini requested the Council email May with any questions. 2. Closed Meeting per Utah Code Ann. §52-4-205(d) Strategy Sessions to Discuss the Purchase, Exchange, or Lease of Real Property Council Member Jackson moved to go into a closed session per Utah Code 52-4-205(d) strategy sessions to discuss the purchase, exchange, or lease of real property at 6:09 p.m. Council Member DeSirant seconded.

Mayor Snvestrini called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. Mayor Silvestrini excused Council Member Uipi from the meeting. 4. Business Matters 4.1 Public Hearing on Council Redistricting Maps Council Member DeSirant moved to open the public hearing. Council Member Jackson seconded. Mayor Silvestrini called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. Susan Marks, 3496 S. Scott Park Lane, thanked staff for the map proposals. She said she lived in District 2 and felt maps 2 and 3 did not keep the principles of keeping the core of District 2 as it was. She felt they violated the community of interest. She said it was easy with modern tools for residents to find out which district they were in. She was opposed to being in a district with non-homeowners and those who were not of the same comi'nunity of interest. She would like to preserve the existing boundaries as much as possible. Mayor Silvestrini said the redistricting was required every ten years and the Council was required to try and balance the population equally. Francis Lilly said he had received over 150 electronic corni'nents about the redistricting. The city published a special newsletter about redistricting asking residents to respond to an online survey. He then surnrnarized the survey data. Most of the respondents lived in Districts 3 and 4. The first map proposal tried to preserve the core of the existing districts which had a high "strongly agree" response. The second map proposal had a high "strongly disagree" response. The third map proposal had a high "strongly agree" response. He also had a list of all the resident coinments received. From the results, Lilly felt Districts 1 and 2 should primarily remain the same and the Mt. Olympus comi'nunity wanted to be in one district. Lilly gave a presentation on the redistricting. Millcreek code requires the redistricting every ten years, within six months of the Utah Legislature completing its redistricting process (by May 16, 2022). The city is divided into forir districts of equally substantial population. Factors to consider are that districts are conti@tolls and reasonably compact, boundaries follow natural boundaries, and tliat current elected officials stay in their designated district. The Utah Independent Redistricting Coinmission's standards state that districts should be contiguous, be reasonably compact, preserve corni'nunities of interest, follow natural/geographic/man-made features/boundaries, preserve cores of prior districts, and prohibit purposeful or undue favoring of incumbents or candidates. The community councils provided the following recommendations. Mt. Olympus Community Council liked option 2 but keep boundaries for District 1 and 2 similar to what they were currently (hybrid option 4). The Millcreek Community Council had sentiment split between options 2 and 3, and a hybrid similar to what Mt. Olympus proposed. Canyon Rim Citizens Association supported the goal of keeping districts similar to what they were currently with the exception of the Mt. Olympus community. East Mill Creek Mfflcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 11 April 2022 Page 6 of 11 supported hybrid option 4. Council Member Catten said the Millcreek Community Council did not mind the cleaner geographical boundaries of the District 1 and 2 changes. Lilly said the engagement and adoption process was that a story map was developed and publislied on the city's website in February. In March, the public was invited to participate in community council meetings. In March-April, residents whose property may change districts were mailed a notice. All residents received a printed newsletter about it. The Council would hold a public hearing on April 1 1' and adopt the new map on May 9'h. Lilly reviewed the map options and then proposed a hybrid option four map which incorporated all the Mt. Olyi'npus community into one district and Districts 1 and 2 boundaries were from the option one map. He highlighted the area around Brickyard as being in District 2 instead of the current District 3. Council Member Jackson said residents in that neighborhood requested to be in District 2. Richmond Avenue would be the boundary between Districts 2 and 3. Susan Marks said three of the four districts were in favor of keeping Districts 1 and 2 similar to the current boundaries. She felt the coinmunity of interest was more important than rational boundaries. Council Member Jackson moved to close the public hearing. Council Member Catten seconded. Mayor Silvestrini caned for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. Council Member Jackson said she attended Mt. Olympus, Canyon Rim, and East Mill Creek cornrnunity council meetings. She said there was concern in changing Districts 1 and 2 when there was not a lot of input from those residents. Council Member Catten clarified she was indifferent to the maps. Mayor Silvestrini requested that the city disperse the new hybrid option four map and get feedback. 2. Planning Matters 2.1 Introduction of Historic Preservation Commission Nominees Francis Lilly said the Council, upon recommendation from the community councils and Planning Commission, enacted a historic preservation ordinance which created a Historic Preservation Commission. The ordinance identified the requirements for membership on the Commission as being a Millcreek resident, with one of the seven members being from each Council district, and that two of the members should be professionals in the historic preservation field. The Commission's duties are to issue certifications of historical appropriateness, provide a written history of Millcreek, increase awareness of and commemorate historic events, designate entries on the National Register of Historic Sites in Utah, and advise the city regarding the protection of local cultural resources. The mayor nominates individuals to the Commission with the advice and consent of the City Council. The city solicited applications and an evaluation committee interviewed candidates. He then introduced the nominees: Andrea Maxfield, curator for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Emily Johnson, Museum Services Specialist for the Utah Division of Arts and Museums, Molly Enos, an architect with experience in historic preservation, Tiffany Hunter Greene, a public historian, Ryan Luflcin, a vice president of product marketing, Kaye Donahoe, a coinrnunity advocate, and Peter Brinton, a project engineer. The nominees then greeted the Council. Mayor Silvestrini was pleased to Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 11 April 2022 Page 7 of 11 forward the nominations to the Council. He noted that the Cornrnission could help preserve the historical buildings in the city. 2.2 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 22-13, Rezoning Certain Property Located at Approximately 4070 South 1300 East from R-1-10 (Residential Single Family) to R-1-8 (Residential Single Family) Mayor Silvestrini noted that the Council already had a first reading, or a briefing, on items 2.2 and 2.3. Katie Larsen said the applicant was requesting a rezone from R-1-10 to R-1-8 to accornrnodate plans for a 2-lot subdivision and building of two single family homes which conforms with the General Plan. There was positive support from the neighborhood, Millcreek Coinmunity Council, and Planning Commission though the Millcreek Community Council recommended consideration for both driveways to be on 4085 S. Larsen recommended approval of the rezone. Mayor Silvestrini asked for public comment. There was none. Mayor Silvestrini said the proposal preserved the feel of the neighborhood. Council Member DeSirant moved to rezone property located at 4070 South 1300 East from R-l-10 to R-1-8 and approve Ordinance 22-13. Council Member Jackson seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 2.3 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 22-14, Rezoning Certain Properties Located at Approximately 2279 E. Keller Lane from R-1-10 (Residential Single- Family) to R-1-8 (Residential Single-Family); as well as a Portion of 2254 E. Alva Circle from R-l-10 (Residential Single-Family) to R-1-21 (Residential Single- Family) Carlos Estudillo said two single family parcels were being rezoned. The applicant was requesting to rezone a piece that would be annexed from Keller Lane to Alva Circle and to rezone Keller Lane to accommodate the smaller lot size to avoid nonconformity. The property on Alva Circle would obtain about 4,000 square feet. He showed the Council a graphic of the proposed zoning. He said there was not much public comment, just one about whether there would be more horses on the property, but staff corninunicated to that resident that the uses would remain the same. He recommended approval of the rezone. The applicant declined to provide comment. Mayor Silvestrini asked for public comment. There was none. Mayor Silvestrini said the use of the lots would not change. No more animals would be allowed. Council Member DeSirant moved to adopt Ordinance 22-14. Council Member Jackson seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. An Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 3. Financial Matters 3.1 Fiscal Year 2022-23 General Fund, Capital Improvement Project Fund, and Storm Water Fund Tentative Budget Presentation; Laurie Johnson, HR-Finance Director Mfflcreek City Councn Meeting Minutes 11 April 2022 Page 8 of 11 Mayor Silvestrini said changes could still be made to the budget, but this was the start of the process. There would be a public hearing on the tentative budget at the following meeting. Laurie Johnson said she included a 4.97o/o property tax increase based on the Council's discussion at the last meeting. Mayor Silvestrini said at the last meeting there was discussion about a problem the city faced this fiscal year, which was how to pay for the increased contract cost for police services. The solutions were a big property tax increase or spreading it over time, augmenting it with other funds from the General Fund, or enacting a new tax that most other cities charge that Millcreek currently did not, which is a telecornrnunications and energy franchise tax. He gave direction to Johnson to prepare the tentative budget with a small property tax increase and pay for the remainder of the contract through a contribution from the General Fund of $500,000. This would require additional property tax increases in the future. The city has only been using property taxes to pay for the Unified Police Department contract. Johnson reviewed the General Fund revenue budget. She said she reduced building permit fees by 18.18%. She was conservative with revenues. With federal grants, the Council committed to give $100,000 to the Asian Association and $150,000 to the Promise Program for two consecutive fiscal years. American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds would pay for those commitments. She would defer revenue to cover the cornrnitments. Mayor Silvestrini said the Asian Association supports an afterschool program for refugees on the west side of the community and the Promise Program funds would pay for interns and to establish an afterschool program at Holladay Hills Apartments. Johnson added a line item for Millcreek Common revenue as $15,000. The General Fund ($500,000) and UPD Contract ($1,016,385) costs were added in the Use of Fund Balance line item. The total General Fund revenues was $3,693,142. Johnson then reviewed the General Fund expense projections. There are 46 full-time employees. Personnel expenses included a 7% cost of living adjustment (COLA), 2% merit, 6.8% increase in medical insurance expenses, and a O.5% decrease in dental insurance expenses. Mayor Silvestrini said the job market was tight and the cost of living had gone up. Staff was necessary to provide services and he did not want to lose good employees. Johnson reviewed the department budgets. The Mayor and City Council budget increased in travel expenses and included the $25,000 comi'nunity investment fund. The Administration budget increased due to higher personnel expenses. Legal Services were lower than the previous year. The Public Safety budget had the UPD contract cost as an estimate at $13,500,000. The Promise Program budget had the $150,000 funds from ARPA. The Recorder budget was less because there was no election. The Communications budget reflected the Asian Association program cost. The Information Center budget was lower due to lower personnel expenses as a position was relocated. The Administration, Building Services, Emergency Management, Economic Development, Business License Administration, Finance, and Facilities Administration budgets increased due to higher personnel expenses. Johnson added a new budget, Community Life/Millcreek Common with Administration, Events and Programs, Millcreek Common Business Development, and Millcreek Cornrnon Adventure Hub. There were no changes with the Human Resources, Facilities, or IT budgets. The Non- Departmental budget had a decrease due to not funding transfers to fund balance or capital improvement projects (CIP). The Fleet budget decreased because no new vehicles would be purchased. The Planning and Zoning budget had higher personnel expenses and Mfflcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 11 April 2022 Page 9 of 11 lower professional service expenses. She felt the Class B & C Road funds at $2,000,000 was conservative. The total General Fund expenses was $31,693,142 with a 35% fund balance projection. Johnson went over the CIP Fund. The Use of CIP Fund Balance line item ($1,855,000) was :tunding the proposed projects by the Public Works Department. Unspent project funds would move into the next fiscal year. In the Storm Water Fund Budget there was a small increase in storm water fees in the revenue budget and more professional services on the expense side. She noted that there was also a Ston'n Water Fund Balance. She then gave an overview of the budget calendar. Council Member Catten said the Jordan River Coinmission would have a slight increase in fees. 3.2 Fiscal Year 2022-23 Millcreek Municipal Fee Schedule Presentation; Laurie Johnson, HR-Finance Director Laurie Johnson said the fee schedule amendment would be for Fiscal Year 2021-22 though the exhibit in the packet said FY 2022-23. She added a "recreation fees" section with a Millcreek Corni'non rentals and venue fees subsection. The fees were based on other similar venues with estimated expenses. She also moved the "special event permit" fee from Miscellaneous to Recreation. Other changes were to Landscaping Bond, and Land Disturbance Permit and Stormwater Quality Permit fees. She briefly reviewed the new fees. 3.3 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 22-09, Acknowledging Receipt of the Tentative Budget on April 11, 2022; and Tentatively Adopting the Tentative Budget Pursuant to the Requirements of Utah Code Ann. § 10-6-111 for the Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2022, and Ending June 30, 2023 Council Member Jackson moved to adopt Resolution 22-09, tentatively adopting the tentative budget. Council Member Catten seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously 3.4 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 22-17, Amending the Millcreek Fee Schedule Mayor Silvestrini asked for public coinment. Elyse Sullivan read an online comi'nent received via the website from Shawn LaMar, 3621 S 1200 E. a'l'm curious/concerned about thefees for skatirxg that are listed in the budget. Are thoseproposed to be the retail price for skating? %7' so, I thinlc we need more options/categories, and to 'right-size' the price to align with other amusement/recreation options in the valley. $400for an annual skating pass is extremely high. It's nearly 80% of the costfor a teenager a seasonpass at Park City ($506). I also think we should have a family package for single skate session. Consider a family of 5; that would be $50for skate rental and ribbon time @ $10 each. I think a fnmily package is neededhere to keep the costfor a fctmily <$30. A few comparisons -Lagoon - adtdt season passport is $166 Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 11 April 2022 Page 10 of 11 - Thanksgiving Point - annual pass is $99; Family is $275 (2 adults, dependent children) -Children's Museum@ Gateway- annualpass I adtdt + 2 guests$129; l adult, 5 guests $195 -Park City Locals* Season Pass, age 13-18 - $506 *several blackout dates apply: Thanksgiving woe, Christmas week, MLK, and Presidents Day " Mike Winder said these were base starting prices but there would be a lot of discounts. Mayor Silvestrini said the skate pass would include equipment rental. He said the fees needed to start somewhere and could later be refined. These prices reflected what similar skate places were charging. He liked the idea of a family package, though. Council Member Catten said there would be programming deals and the like. Council Member Jackson moved to adopt Ordinance 22-17, Amending the Millcreek Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2021-22. Council Member Catten seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 4. Business Matters 4.2 Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 22-10, Approving an Interlocal Cooperative Agreement with Salt Lake County for a Traffic Signal Installation at 4115 S. (Central Avenue) Main Street Mayor Silvestrini said the area was growing and experiencing a higher traffic count. Traffic studies warranted a light, so Millcreek was contracting with the County to install and maintain the signal. Council Member Catten asked about the timeline. Mayor Silvestrini thought it would be very soon. Council Member Catten moved to adopt Resolution 22-10, Approving an Interlocal Cooperative Agreement for a Traffic Signal Installation at 4115 S. Main Street (Central Avenue). Council Member DeSirant seconded. The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 4.3 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 22-15, Amending Title 3 of the Code by Adding Chapter 3.54 Entitled Recreation Fees Mayor Silvestrini said this complemented the fee schedule change.

The Recorder called for the vote. All Council Members voted yes. The motion passed unanimously. 4.4 Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance 22-16, Amending Section 17.22.040 of the Millcreek Code with Respect to Land Disturbance and Grading Permits Council Member Jackson moved to retroactively adopt Ordinance 22-16, Amending Section 17.22.040.

Reports 5.1 Mayor's Report Mayor Silvestrini said he participated in the selection of the new fire chief for the Unified Fire Authority and in the retirement celebration of the former Fire Chief Dan Petersen. He felt the new chief would serve the Authority well. He said the UPD fund had a fund balance. He had been having discussions with Chief DeBry about public comments that police were not the right agency to respond to a mental health crisis. The UPD does have a Mental Health Unit, but Chief Steve DeBry felt Millcreek was large enough to have its own dedicated mental health officer. The city would not have to appropriate more funds for it, it would come from the UPD 'fund balance. Mayor Silvestrini noted that he attended an iftar dinner to break the fast of Ramadan. 5.2 City Council Member Reports Council Member Jackson said the Salt Lake County Council unanimously approved an amendment to their Forestry Recreation Zone prohibiting mining and mineral extraction. Council Member DeSirant recognized Sahara Hayes, Millcreek resident, for winning the Democratic primary for a state house representative seat. Council Member Catten said St. Mark's Hospital was celebrating 150 years and opened a time capsule. Mayor Silvestrini said the Council would have a proclamation to coinmemorate them. He said the city would do a time capsule for the new city hall and asked for suggestions from the public. 5.3 Staff Reports There were none. 6.
