Discuss New Park Ideas: Chelsea Grant gave a presentation on her idea for a 98 memorial garden in the new park. Her daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 3 and passed 99 away at age five in September 2023. Since then, she hadn't been able to stop thinking about a healing 100 garden. She had discussed her Idea with Councilmember Milbank, who was encouraging so she put 101 together a presentation of what she had in mind, which she shared with the Council. She Incorporated 102 her ideas with the current layout of the park. There would be a memorial walk with arches. An 103 inspiration walk would be located on the other side of the park, with painted rocks lining the walk. There 104 would be an area for artwork displays. A butterfly garden would be located on the west side with plants 105 that attract butterflies. She had talked with Jennifer Dowd (a butterfly expert), who was willing to help 106 and donate. Another proposed feature would be garden beds of hope and reflection and connection. The 107 fifth feature would be a connection to the Providence Cemetery. She discussed the challenges of funding, 108 installation, and maintenance and explained how a Memorial Garden Committee would be involved In 109 overseeing these things. She had talked with some businesses who had been overwhelmingly supportive 110 of the idea and had offered to donate. She felt this idea resonated with people from all walks of life. She 111 had also talked with the Adams family (who were over the idea and construction of Ryan's Place Park). They were supportive and would work with her on fundraising. She discussed her proposal for installation and maintenance and how to move forward if the idea was approved. She hoped the garden would 114 continue to adapt to the needs of residents. 115 Mayor Thompson thanked Ms. Grant for being so articulate and felt her idea was brilliant. He 116 noted there would be things that would need to be worked through. 117 Councilmember Mathews loved the idea. 118 Councilmember Milbank said this would be a good time to bring up this type of idea since the park 119 is being done in phases. He felt additional landscape advice would be good to have. The mayor asked 120 how much of Phase 2 would need to be adjusted to Incorporate Ms. Grant's ideas. Mr. Milbank said very 121 little: irrigation and types of trees. 122 Councilmember Pitcher took leave of the meeting at 7:20 p.m. 123 The mayor noted this was perfect timing. He asked Councilmember Milbank for a comparison of 124 the current tree plan, compared to Ms. Grant's plan. He noted the council had a budget they needed to • 125 work within. Ms. Grant said she would meet with the memorial committee and source the items on her 126 plan. 127 Councilmember Mathews felt it was a beautiful idea which would bring the community together 128 in a perfect location, next to the cemetery. 129 Councilmember Wright really liked the idea and expressed his willingness to sit with the 130 committee as a landscape architect. He noted that the irrigation system would need to be changed soon. 131 Councilmember Milbank said they had contracted with Raymonds the for irrigation system so they 132 would discuss some change orders. 133 Councilmember Mathews suggested involving Melanie Stock who was Involved with flowers and landscaping at USD and is also a resident of River Heights. Ms. Grant said Jenny Dowd was also willing to help reconfigure If needed. Mayor Thompson suggested Councilmembers Milbank and Wright, Ms. Grant River Heights City Council Meeting, 2/20/24 3 136 and Ms. Dowd work together on the changes needed. He noted they needed to act quickly. Raymond 137 was planning on mobilization in March. 138 Councilmember Milbank requested more detail before submitting for RAPZ. 139 Councilmember Wright felt they could move forward without council approval since the budget 140 had been approved. There would be follow up at the next council meeting. 141 Councilmember Milbank asked about Biowesfs involvement. Councilmember Wright suggested 142 they talk about It at their committee meeting to decide if Biowest was needed at this point. Mr. Milbank 143 asked what their obligation would be to the community since they had presented the park one way and 144 now it would change to something else. Mayor Thompson felt Ms. Grant's presentation just gave the 145 project life. Mr. Wright suggested working out some of the details and then present it to the community 146 and invite them to learn more. 147 PWD Nelson said there were a lot of things that could be done before the design would be 148 needed. The mayor asked Mr. Nelson to serve on the committee as well. 149 Appointment of Board Member to Serve Jointly with Providence on the CVTD Board: Mayor 150 Thompson presented Jeff Turley's name to the council to serve two years on the board. The council 151 agreed. 152 Review Change in City Code 1-6-6: City Recorder and City Treasurer: Mayor Thompson presented 153 the proposed verbiage. The Council would hold a public hearing at their next meeting, at which time it 154 could be adopted as code. The Council agreed. 155 Review and Adopt the Planning Commission's Suggested Changes to City Code: Councilmember 156 Wright reviewed the suggested changes. The Planning Commission held a public hearing at their last 157 meeting on February 13. 158 Some discussion was had on the Short Term Vacation Rental ordinance changes (STVRs). 159 Commissioner Schaub announced that she didn't support this because in 2019 the Planning Commission 160 discussed it extensively and agreed at that time, they only wanted to allow STVRs if they were owner 161 occupied. 162 Councilmember Hanover asked how they would regulate how many people would stay in each 163 bedroom. Mayor Thompson said a person could look up a property online to see what they were 164 advertising. Councilmember Wright said the city would also rely on neighbors. If they complained, the 165 city would need to investigate it. Mayor Thompson said STVRs are historically filled with more people 166 than they are regulated for. 167 Councilmember Hanover was concerned with too much regulation. 168 PWD Nelson said STVRs can become a problem based on experience. He'd seen 60 kids In one 169 home before. 170 Councilmember Wright explained the boundary adjustment changes, which were spurred by State 171 code. He answered questions from the council members. 172 Councilmember Wright moved to "adopt Ordinance 1-2024, An Ordinance to Adopt Changes to 173 the City Code of River Heights, Utah, with the removal of "D" as a code classification." Councilmember 174 Hanover seconded the motion, which carried with Hanover, Mathews, Milbank, and Wright in favor. 175 No one opposed. Pitcher was absent. 176 Councilmember Wright said he liked the idea of keeping the center of the new park open, rather 177 than having a feature in the middle of it. He also suggested having the memorial features in the north 178 area and leaving the south area for the city. They were all very impressed with Ms. Grant's presentation. 179 Mayor Thompson announced they would not have a meeting on March 5, due to the caucuses. 180 Their next meeting would be held on March 19^^. 181 The meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m. River Heights City Council Meeting, 2/20/24 4 1 on 184 185 Sheila Lind, Recorder 186 187 1 River Heights City Council Meeting, 2/20/24 5 River Heights City Payment Approval Report - City Council AP Approval Report Page: 1 Report dates: 10/1/2022-2/20/2024 Feb 20. 2024 05:40PM Report Criteria: Invoices with totals above $0 included.
