Unified Fire Authority ([ITFA) Report; Chief Zach Robinson Chief Zach Robinson presented the second quarter statistics for the year. There were 1,499 total incidents with 498 emergent (33%). He reviewed the call types, the top engine/truck unit responses and ambulance responses. The total emergent time was between 4 minutes and 43 seconds and 7 minutes and 53 seconds. He provided a map of call types in the city. There was one notable incident, a structure fire on June 18' at 1348 E. 3300 S. There were no major incidents to report from the 4'h of July. There was a quarter acre fire by Mount Olympus Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 25 July 2023 Page 2 of 12 trailhead which was caused by fireworks. There were no major incidents for the 24I'1 of July. He reported that the wet spring and early summer had kept fire activity low in the region. Crews had been focusing on wildfire mitigation efforts and proficiency training. The new fire safety education trailer provided a hands on, interactive training environment for the community. UFA was currently working on the 2023-2026 strategic plan. He encouraged city leadership to participate in the upcoming four meetings. The FY 2023-24 budget was officially adopted by the UFA board in June. Three fire stations were currently under construction, 102 in Magna, 251 in Eagle Mountain, and 253 in Eagle Mountain. The safety message was on precautions with recreational fires around the home. Recruit Class 56 had 31 new recruits from the 16-week fire academy. There were eight lateral hires, two paramedics and six firefighters. He also listed the new promotions and recent retirements. Mayor Silvestrini said Millcreek pays for fire service through a taxing district called the Unified Fire Service Area (UFSA). They levy a tax to pay for fire service. There would be no property tax increase this year. Mayor Silvestrini sits on the UFSA Board. He said there was a judgement levy, so a $200,000 difference was needed. It looked like an increase in property taxes, but it was not. He mentioned that the Millcreek ambulance went into Holladay often. That is considered in the membership fee for the cities, so Millcreek's portion would be lower, and Holladay's would be higher. Dispatch dispatches the closest unit to a scene. Station 112 is located on Jupiter Drive, and it needs to be replaced. The location is in the FEMA floodplain, so that needs to be mitigated before the station can be rebuilt. 2. Olympus Hffls Village Center - Potential Porsche Dealership/Mixed Use Development Discussion Mayor Silvestrini said there may be a potential application for a Porsche dealership on Wasatch Boulevard. There had been a neighborhood meeting on the potential application. The city wanted to get ahead of the application to discuss the matter. Francis Lilly said Porsche Salt Lake was under contract to purchase approximately 6 acres of land between Wasatch Boulevard and I-215, west of the Olympus Hills Mall. Porsche proposed to use 4 acres of the site for a dealership, and the remaining acreage for a future mixed use development. The property is currently zoned R-1-8 and is designated as a Village Center in the Millcreek General Plan. Lilly reviewed the prior development inquiries on the property. He said all parcels/lots in the area were zoned as R-1-8 in the 1950s. Prior to 2010 the property was owned by UDOT and used as a batch plant for regional construction projects. In 2014-15, the county-initiated a rezone attempt for multifamily or commercial. At that time there were concerns about height and potential hotel and multifamily uses. In 2018 the General Plan was adopted, limiting future building heights and identifying the property as part of a Village Center. That same year the property owner expressed a desire for an office campus and large multifamily uses. In 2021 a new property owner expressed a desire for large multifamily uses and possible restaurant uses. In 2022, exploratory conversations about a high-end car dealership took place. Lilly showed the council the proposed site characteristics with proposed mixed use on the northern portion and proposed Porsche site on the southern portion. The current UDOT northbound ramp on 3900 S. was unsafe, so a future ramp south of Apollo Drive might be a solution. Mayor Silvestrirff said the first property owner after UDOT surplussed the property had an option to acquire the unsafe northbound cloverleaf ramp. Mike Winder said it was intact with the current property owner as a right of first refusal. Lilly said the potential Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 25 July 2023 Page 3 of 12 northbound ramp was unplanned but may be considered in 5-7 years as part of a bridge replacement project. He showed the council an image of the existing site and street characteristics. UDOT can dictate the future development of Wasatch Blvd. though it is a city road because of its interface with I-215. Lilly said Wasatch Boulevard carries about 10,000 average annual daily trips (UDOT, 2019), approximately 4,000 daily bicycle trips (STRAVA, 2020), and has high peak and seasonal demand due to Skyline High School and Millcreek Canyon. The future northbound interchange would likely be south of Apollo Drive, to replace the cloverleaf interchange, and would likely be after 2028. Approximately $5 million had been allocated to Millcreek for bicycle path improvements to include bike lane enhancements and a side path on the west side of Wasatch Boulevard between 3900 S and 4500 S. A lane reduction was not recommended at that time. He said Wasatch Boulevard would always be very sensitive to traffic impacts. Lilly said the proposal included a 4-acre dealership site with the overall site limited to two accesses. The building would be oriented to protect residential views with the height limited to 34 feet at the north end. There would be a high quality building design and materials. The site would include a small public open space north of shared access, restaurant/office/residential mixed-use option to the north, and approximately 1,000 square feet of side path that implements and exceeds the General Plan and Wasatch Boulevard Corridor Study goals. There would be enhanced landscaping with an emphasis on native vegetation. The site would have dark-sky compliant lighting exceeding existing city standards. The site would have limited signage, with no sign taller than about 6 feet in height. The dealership was contemplating giving the city a down payment on the side path contemplated in the corridor study. Lilly showed the council daytime and nighttime images of the Palm Springs Porsche dealership location which served as the model for the potential Millcreek location. The LED red lighting was channel set and cast down. He observed at the Palm Springs location that 6-7 test drives happened a day, vehicle deliveries typically happened on property and not on street, the inventory lot was screened from view, Palm Springs' lighting standards exceed Millcreek's lighting standards and the dealership would not produce as much light as the existing Olympus Hills shopping center and I-215 interchanges, it was adjacent to single- family neighborhoods, had limited signage, was well landscaped, and had 24-hour security. He said portions of the building was leased for private events, receptions, and community groups. Lilly said the General Plan considers this property as a village center which includes retail, commercial, business and office uses as the primary use with townhomes, small scale multi- family apartment or condominiums, hospitality, restaurants, offices, health services, plazas, squares, pocket parks, and other community gathering spaces as secondary uses. A key characteristic included providing a mix of supporting services and small-scale commercial for the surrounding neighborhoods Council Member Jackson asked about the portions of the building leased for private events, receptions, and community groups and its traffic. Lilly did not know the type of traffic those events would produce but felt it would be minor. The General Plan acknowledged that the village center would be strategically located to local and regional access, retain the view to the west, and would tie together the two sides of Wasatch Boulevard and expand retail and Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 25 July 2023 Page 4 of 12 hospitality uses as a focus. The General Plan considerations relevant to the dealership included economic development strategies 1.5 and 2.5, vibrant gathering places strategies 1.3, 4.8, 7.4, and 9.3, great connections strategy 1.1B, and open space strategies 3.1, 4.2, and 5.2. Lilly said the General Plan calls out essential open space and quality of life goals that cost money. Property tax receipts are only 32% of the FY 2023-24 budget, and public safety costs $15.7 million. He showed pie charts of the city's revenue and expenses. The other sources of revenue the city has are sales tax, grants, and fees. Adding to and diversifying the sales tax base (which is also a stated General Plan strategy) would help the city meet needs and wants without need of tax increases. He asked if automobile dealerships were fundamentally contrary to the goal of the village center, or if they could be worked into a village center concept with good design. He said Wasatch Blvd. would always be an arterial road with proximate interstate access and wondered if the west side should be treated differently than the east side. He wondered if the inclusion of a side path, which meets a stated goal in the General Plan, also helped meet the goal of connectivity and if it tied together both sides of Wasatch Boulevard, while recognizing that Wasatch Boulevard would remain a vehicle- centric road. He felt that changing the General Plan land use designation from village center to mixed-use 2 was an option to consider. The dealership would be a low-slung building and would be oriented so that residents on Apollo Drive and south would have a clear view unobstructed by buildings. Given height and view concerns, particularly on the south side of the site, he wondered what other uses were feasible that would not be tall and that would not geherate significant traffic. The best fit for the property would consider traffic sensitivity, building height sensitivity, viewshed protection,' cyclist and pedestrian safety, preference for commercial uses, create placemaking, meet ongoing fiscal needs, and considered the future interchange Lilly presented a special district zone option. A special district zone could be used to create specific standards for uses, signage, lighting, landscaping materials, building height and orientation, and streetscapes. Special districts could be applied to village centers, mixed use areas, or anywhere the city would welcome a proposal that falls outside of the strict confines of a commercial zone. Coupled with a development agreement, the city could craft a zone that provides value to the city in the form of enhanced public amenities. Special district requests would require a neighborhood meeting, a joint meeting with the City Council and Plaru'iing Commission, and a preliminary site plan review by staff prior to a formal application. Formal notice would include community council review, a planning commission recommendation, and City Council review. Mayor Silvestrini said prior to incorporation, the neighborhood had concerns about height that would restrict views from Apollo Drive, and about multifamilyresidential. He said the R-1-8 zone did not fit the site. The best way to keep taxes low for Millcreek taxpayers was to expand the tax base, and this would accomplish that as well as keep the height manageable on the southern portion of the property. He said by customizing the zone in the area, the city could control landscaping and lighting. Council Member Catten asked if the dealership was contingent on the mixed use portion of the property. Lilly said there were no plans for that portion yet, though he had expressed concern about height and multifamily use. He felt a significant retail component was needed. Council Member DeSirant asked if the other two acres would be sold or leased. Lilly anticipated a sale. Council Member Uipi noted the city did not own the land since inquiries had been made about a city park. Lilly said it would cost Mfflcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 25 July 2023 Page 5 of 12 the city at least $8-10 million to purchase the property, and millions of additional dollars to master plan the open space and provide annual maintenance and operation of it. Mayor Silvestrini noted a park would also generate more traffic. Lilly noted other parks in the city needed to be improved. This site was never identified as a new park. Michael Maledon, Porsche, showed the council the proposed access which would be shared with the dealership and the mixed use as a right-in-right-out and a southern access across from Apollo. He showed picture examples of the building's exterior. Jeru'iifer Smithey, architect, said the front portion of the building was an aluminum composite material with a matte silver finish. She described and showed renderings and elevations of the proposed building. She showed a constructed image of what the view would look like from Apollo Drive and the Olympus Hills Shopping Center. Maledon said this was a non-traditional car dealership. The proposed Millcreek location would be one of half a dozen in the country that was the high quality dealership. Commissioner LaMar asked how the cars would be delivered. Maledon said onsite. Council Member Uipi asked what the current R-1-8 zone allowed for building height. Lilly said 32 feet. The dealership would be about 35-36 feet on part and 26 feet on part. Council Member DeSirant asked about plans for the northern portion of the property. Maledon said they had intentions to select a use partner that was consistent with what Millcreek wanted there. 3. Staff Reports There were none. 4. Discussion of Agenda Items, Correspondence, and/or Future Agenda Items There was none. Council Member Uipi moved to adjourn the work meeting at 6:49 p.m. Council Member Catten seconded. Mayor Silvestrini called for the vote.

They were anticipating adding 50-75 new jobs. They would be offering the Walmart plus program at half the cost for qualifying individuals. The re-grand opening would be July 28'h. 1.4 Public Comment Vince Coley, Apollo Drive, was concerned about a large building that did not serve the majority of Millcreek residents. He said the view firom Apollo Drive should not be blocked (referencing the proposed Porsche dealership on Wasatch Blvd.). Justine Sheedy-Kramer, Mars Way, expressed traffic concerns. She said when ramps on I-215 are closed, a lot of U-turns occur on Wasatch Blvd. and there was already traffic back up on Wasatch Blvd. She said the Apollo Drive and Wasatch Blvd. intersection was unsafe. She wanted clarification on the proposed building height (referencing the proposed Porsche dealership on Wasatch Blvd.). 2.

Millcreek worked on a study with Holladay and the funding was originally given to Holladay, but the money was being transferred to Millcreek. There was a zero match for the city. The path would run from the southern border with Holladay on Wasatch Blvd. up to 3900 S. Mayor Silvestrini said this path would be a great amenity for cyclists.

He said there were some minor changes made to the interlocal agreement since the meeting packet went out. The final agreement would include those changes. The agreement splits the cost of installation and sets up a mechanism to maintain the structure through 2073. Council Member Jackson asked why Millcreek was taking on the responsibility of doing the installation and maintenance. Lilly said Millcreek initiated the project. Council Member Jackson asked if the sign would be lit. Lilly said no. Mike Winder said the budget already accounted for the sign. Council Member Jackson moved to adopt Resolution 23-40, Approving an Interlocal Cooperative Agreement with the City of South Salt Lake for the Installation and Maintenance of a Shared Municipal Welcome Sign at Approximately 1000 West Meadowbrook Expressway.

Reports 4.1 Mayor=s Report Mayor Silvestrini reported that he had been meeting on restructuring the Unified Police Department (UPD). Sheriff Rivera indicated that the townships would rather stay with Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 25 July 2023 Page 10 of 12 UPD than the Sheriff's office, so she was not budgeting patrols for them. She would budget patrols in the unincorporated county. They were Iooking at a big 5 model with Millcreek, Holladay, Midvale, Magna and Kearns. The other townships were considering partnering with neighboring police departments. The model would aim to be within the same UPD budget but allow for up to a 7% increase. The mayor reported that comments to the Division of Air Quality's (DAQ) intent to issue a permit on the Parley's Canyon granite gravel pit were due that week. Millcreek drafted a statement of opposition to issuance of that permit. Millcreek hired an expert who had prepared a comprehensive analysis of the permit application and DAQ's basis for issuing the permit. There were some deficiencies with the Clean Air Act and the measuring samples were not proximate to Parley's Canyon. 4.2 City Council Member Reports Council Member Catten said mosquitos had been a problem this year. There are traps throughout the county for sampling. The 5 year average for July is 9,686 (annual collection). This year there were 34,720. Luckily there had not been a lot of West Nile virus carging mosquitos. She said residents could call for abatement service. She met with the interfaith counciI to plan for a day of service on September 9. Council Member Uipi said August was Pacific Islander Native Hawaiian Heritage Month. There would be an event to celebrate it on August 4'h at Millcreek Cornrnon. She attended the Palm Springs site visit to the Porsche dealership. She was surprised that the neon lights on the building were not as expected. Mayor Silvestrini noted Council Member Uipi traveled there due to her employment, not on the city's dime. Council Member Jackson acknowledged the new patient tower grand opening at St. Mark's Hospital. The Canyon Rim Cares Day of Service was on July 15'h. A lot of people supported the event. Mayor Silvestrini said Linda Milne received the Citizen of the Year award at that event. Council Member Jackson said she toured the new city hall and was encouraged by the facility though value engineering was done. 4.3 Treasurer's Report Council Member Jackson reported: As of July 25, 2023, the balance of the Series 2021 Bond Construction Fund is: $4,480,503.82. (City Hall construction) As of July 25, 2023, Millcreek's PTIF account balance is: $46,423,467.99. As of July 25, 2023, FY23 property tax has been received in the amount of $12,432,123.18. Lastyearatthissametime,A4illcreekhadreceived$ll,821,827.70. As of July 25, 2023, 86.28% of FY23 sales tax has been received in the amount of $13,804,050.47. Last year at this same time, Millcreek had received $13,315,278.48. 4.4 Staff Reports Mike Winder said Alex Wendt and Arny Barber in Business Licensing went from the Economic Development Department to the Finance Department in July with the new budget. Another change was moving Shannon Schmidt and his team from the Community Life Department to the Facilities Department. Mayor Silvestrini said Millcreek City Council Meeting Minutes 25 July 2023 Page 11 of 12 Millcreek needed specialized maintenance on Millcreek Coininon with the landscaping and on Mountair Streetscape. John Miller said the Virginia-Upland roundabout was nearing completion and that should help with backed up traffic on Wasatch Blvd. (as described during public comment). That project was funded through a grant. 4.5 Unified Police Department Report Chief Steve DeBry reported the crime statistics for June 2023. There were 3,141 total calls, 1,055 total cases, 329 citations, and 23 booking arrests. There were 19 assaults, 17 burglaries, 15 drug offenses, 90 family offenses, 78 larcenies, 3 sex offenses, and 24 stolen vehicles. Millcreek c.o.p. located several incidents of graffiti in Millcreek. All cases of graffiti were investigated and cleaned up by U.P.D. Graffiti Removal. In the month of June, Millcreek officers responded to 68 mental health calls, 22 transient calls, and 26 hit and runs, and issued 83 traffic citations. After serving 8 years in Community Oriented Policing Units, 4 in Riverton and 4 in Millcreek, Detective Nichols was going back to patrol. Detective Nichols provided exceptional service, always going above what is necessary to provide the best service to the community. He has been a role model and trainer to younger officers and would be an asset to the patrol division. Detective Derek Cottle would replace Detective Nichols in the Community Crime Suppression Unit. Council Member Uipi asked if the mental health officer was doing well. Chief DeBry said she was keeping up. Council Member Catten identified new graffiti locations to be investigated. 5.
