E. Mayor and Council Reports
Council Member Patrick Harris attended, along with the rest of the council and the mayor, the
Memorial Day event at our city cemetery. The mayor did a great job, as usual, with her speech
and noted that it’s always touching to hear the names of all those buried in our cemetery. Since
our last meeting, the Audit Committee had a meeting. In addition, he also attended as many of
the Summerfest activities as possible with his family. He likes it every year, but he thinks this
was his kids’ favorite year at Summerfest. He thanked everyone who was involved for all their
hard work, as there were a lot of people there.
Council Member Brad Marlor seconded what Council Member Harris said regarding the
Memorial Day event and Summerfest. The Memorial Day morning service was an incredible and
touching experience. He thinks this Summerfest was the best attended so far and very well done.
He thanked all those who participated in the planning and carrying out of those plans. He got to
judge the Chalk Art this year and enjoyed the amazing talent. His family was able to attend the
activities with him and the kids had a blast.
Council Member Tamara Zander always loves Memorial Day, and loved the great speech Mayor
Ramsey gave. She also thanked Luann Jensen and all of her hard work to organize that event.
Summerfest was very well run and she echoed the previous comments about the higher
attendance and being well organized. She loved doing the Chalk Art, the breakfast at the fire
station was great, and she liked the reptiles and butterflies. Regarding the parade, one of her
favorite parts this year was the large flag brought in at the beginning by the Major Brent Taylor
Foundation. She was approached to have her business, the Zander Real Estate Team, sponsor
that and it was an honor to be able to do that. Some of her friends and neighbors were able to
help carry the flag and she hopes that can be done again in the future. She invited everyone to a
local community play by the Kensington Theater, which is here in our city and located near
Early Light Academy. This weekend’s opening night, many of the cast members are residents of
South Jordan, including her daughter who is playing Esmerelda. She also attended a Mosquito
Abatement meeting; there was nothing notable with no major outbreaks.
Council Member Jason McGuire would love to see us have the flag return for our parade in the
future as well. Some of his neighbors, who are a part of the Rotary Club, helped carry the flag
and they are working really hard to get the Rotary Club more established in the city; they will be
creating a family division where the whole family gets to participate. He loved that the parade
route went back to one that ends at City Hall, he thinks that makes such a statement to end there.
He was glad to see the murals unveiled and the open house with the artists. He heard a lot of
people chatting about it who really enjoyed those murals. He is glad the Parks Department and
Arts Council were able to work together to achieve those. Regarding the turnout at Summerfest,
he had a coworker, who he hadn’t discussed the event with beforehand, who attended and felt the
event was really well-handled and was very impressed. Like others, he attended the Memorial
South Jordan City 3
City Council Meeting
June 7, 2022
Day program, which was a wonderful event, and he is glad our city makes a point of hosting that.
He thanked all the volunteers who put up the flags and made it such a great event. He was invited
to speak at South Jordan Middle School by Ms. Nordahl, who teaches the AP Geography classes.
He spoke a little about local government and then presented various scenarios the city has been
through; on the majority of the issues, the youth participating agreed with the decisions made by
the city council. He enjoyed seeing their perspective and insight without much coaching. There
was an Arts Council meeting, but he missed it due to illness.
Council Member Don Shelton attended most of the same events mentioned previously, with the
exception of Summerfest due to Covid. He and Council Member Marlor attended the South
Jordan Youth Council swearing in ceremony where Council Member Marlor represented the
mayor. He appreciated Executive Assistant Melanie Edwards directing them afterwards in
regards to interacting with the Youth Council members and taking pictures. He attended the
Bangerter Three completion celebration where the mayor spoke and represented our city well.
She also spoke at the Memorial Day program and represented the city just as well there. He
attended the Senior Advisory Committee meeting recently. He is pleased with the energy of the
group, and he thinks the new members are bringing even more. They are looking for more ways
to recruit more seniors and get them to attend the programs. He also attended the Jordan River
Commission meeting, and he discussed that previously at the study session held before this
meeting. He watched the Legislative Policy Committee meeting yesterday and heard the updates
on the economy, our drought, and legislative priorities.
Mayor Dawn Ramsey echoed what has been said previously about the Memorial Day program
and the gratitude she feels for that and Summerfest. Summerfest was outstanding, and the
numbers were very high. She appreciates all the effort that went into that, and looks forward to
bringing the flag back. They had intended to bring the largest flag, called The Major, however it
is so wide that Redwood Road wasn’t big enough for it. Instead, the next smallest flag was
brought, called The Lieutenant, and it was still huge. She thanked Jenny Taylor and the Major
Brent Taylor Foundation, as well as Zander Real Estate for sponsoring the shirts, along with
everyone else who participated. She also wanted to thank many others who participated in the
parade:
- Our Senior Advisory Committee
- The Hope Squad from Bingham High School, who tweeted a picture thanking the city for
letting them participate.
- The marching band put together by Bingham High School, which was the largest they
have ever had in the parade. The group even included middle school students invited to
participate.
Mayor Ramsey said there were so many great entries who participated and joined our city for the
parade. In addition to the various events that have been shared previously that she attended, she
attended many meetings for the boards and committees she serves on. She met with Keith
Marmer, the Chief Innovation and Economic Engagement Officer for the University of Utah.
They talked about the land that the University of Utah owns, they plan on coming out and
South Jordan City 4
City Council Meeting
June 7, 2022
bringing President Randall, along with some of their land team and top administrative team. She
suggested they partner and invite some of the top people from The Miller Group to take them on
a tour and give them a good vision of what’s envisioned for the area out there, and have
conversations to figure out the right plan for their land and how we can create synergy for the
area. She looks forward to working with them in the future. At President Randall’s inauguration,
he had actually approached Council Member Marlor and asked to schedule time to come and
meet. City Officials from Maricopa, Arizona came out for a visit and City Manager Gary
Whatcott will share more about that later. It was great to spend time with them. She had some
meetings with UDOT, things are well underway with several projects they are working on and
she appreciates our good relationship with them. She is really excited about the Bangerter
interchanges that have been completed so far. She spent several “off hours” with our fantastic
fire department filming the next City Jobs video with them; she loves them and they are heroes
to her, their work is hard. She looks forward to this video coming out, as they wanted to make
sure that the next City Jobs video highlighted the amazing service we receive as a community
from our first responders. The Unified Economic Opportunity Commission has put together their
new groups for this legislative year, and she has been asked again to serve on the new Growth
and Transportation working group. There is a lot of work involved in this group, they are
bringing a lot of stakeholders and voices together, which is hard but it is important work. They
had their first work group meeting, and they will be meeting every other week pretty much until
the session. This is such a unique opportunity for us to have a voice there, as cities previously
haven’t had a voice in these conversations and it’s different than the interim committees of the
legislature; we are representing all cities, but it is our people who are sitting at the table. There
are people from cities across the state who they have asked and invited to serve on working
groups; those groups are put together by the senate president, speaker, governor and Dan
Hemmert. She and Council Member Harris both attended the Envision Utah Breakfast, which
was focused on housing this year. It was very informative and she appreciated the information.
Council Member McGuire noted that if anyone else on the council wants to view that, it is
available online and he was able to watch it.
Mayor Ramsey talked about high school graduations this past weekend, she appreciated the
chance to participate in those especially since her son was included in those graduating. Today
she had a chance to speak at National Women’s Golf Day, a big event at Glenmoor Golf Course.
The event was sponsored by the South Valley Chamber of Commerce Women in Business
Organization, and attendees raised funds for The Women of the World, which is a nonprofit
organization based in Utah helping and supporting women refugees in the state. She has been
touring the state as part of being President of the League and Cities of Towns this year, meeting
with mayors all over the state to hear from them in person and see about their concerns,
questions, challenges, suggestions as they take that information back to represent it at the
Capitol. There have been a lot of common themes, people are really concerned about things like
short term rentals, water, housing and managing growth.

F. Public Comment
Mayor Ramsey opened the public comment portion of the meeting. There were no comments, the
public comment portion of the meeting was closed.
G. Action Item
G.1. Resolution R2022-22, Designating the Interim Emergency Successors for
2022-2023 and Identification of Alerting Authority and Individuals Authorized to Send
Alerts. (By Assistant City Manager Dustin Lewis)
Assistant City Manager Dustin Lewis said that every year at this time they are required by both
state statute, as well as our own local ordinance, to identify the successors for each of the
positions that have been filled by our department directors, chiefs, city manager, etc. They have
gone through, in consultation with all of the department directors and city manager, and
identified all of those positions and their successors. In the event of an emergency, or other large
event, if one of those people isn’t available they know who the next person with decision making
authority is. The list this year has been updated to reflect the newest department directors, as well
as the newest department. The second part of that is the alerting notifications. He has worked
with the city’s emergency management coordinator and those processes have not changed since
last year, so those are again just being adopted as is.
Council Member Shelton noted that when he was reading through the resolution, it seemed that
the county is actually the entity that initiates the emergency message and asked if that was
correct.
Manager Lewis said yes, they are the ones who “have the keys to the car,” so when we need to
get a message out we would work with them. They have the ability and know the secret codes to
actually launch that message for us.
Council Member Shelton also noted that it appeared there was some form we had to submit to
them, and there were certain people at the county who could send that message. It listed out,
fairly carefully, who could initiate the message at the county but he couldn’t tell, or maybe
missed, who is authorized at the city to authorize a message.
Manager Lewis said that those authorized at the city to do that are our emergency manager and
our two chiefs; they have the ability to make that call if it is needed. Part of the reason it is
specific as to which people can do that, is to prevent a situation like they had in Hawaii a few
years ago with a message that was launched that shouldn’t have been. Having that form and very
specific people prevents the inadvertent messaging that shouldn’t go out. In the bottom
paragraph of page 60 of the packet, there is a section called Activation of the ENS that gives
details about how those messages could be activated and who at the city level would do that.
Council Member McGuire motioned to approve Resolution R2022-22, Designating the
Interim Emergency Successors for 2022-2023. Council Member Zander seconded the
motion; vote was unanimous in favor.

H. Public Hearing Items
H.1. Ordinance 2022-13, Amending Section 1.12.030: District Boundaries,
to remove the legal descriptions, set forth in the City Council District Boundary Map
based on the 2020 census. (By Assistant City Manager Dustin Lewis) RCV
Manager Lewis said the purpose of this ordinance is to update our municipal code. It removes
the formal legal descriptions found in the code, which will shorten the code by seven and a
half pages. Instead, it adopts by ordinance the Shapefile, which is the computer file that is
created in our Geographic Information System (GIS), which is the very accurate description of
the map that we have been discussing for several months now. That map is prepared by our
GIS Department, and a copy of that electronic file will be provided for the city recorder,
which becomes the official record. They will produce a map that people can reference to make
it easier to identify those council districts. This ordinance takes away all of the very detailed
legal descriptions, adopts that Shapefile, and includes the printed map as an exhibit. There
have been several discussions about the district boundaries, the boundaries being proposed
meet all the criteria required as well as meeting all the preferences indicated by the council.
Mayor Ramsey opened the public hearing for comment. There were no comments, the hearing
was closed.
Council Member McGuire noted that when Mayor Ramsey was reading the ordinance
description, she said it was a Sharefile instead of a Shapefile.
Mayor Ramsey apologized and noted that Shapefile is the correct wording.
Manager Lewis said that is a file that is specific and native to the GIS System the city uses.
City Attorney Ryan Loose added that these boundaries were based on exactly what the state
did with congressional districts in the state statute. If you read that statute, they reference you
to a Shapefile that they adopted and is maintained on their website; we are just following their
lead. The Shapefile gives the most accurate information, and the printed exhibit is not the
same thing as the Shape Map, although it is a good representation.
Mayor Ramsey noted that so much work went into this to make sure that all legal
requirements were met. She reassured everyone that the new district boundaries are reflective
of change and growth in our city over the last 10 years. They do not reflect anticipated growth,
they are not divided up based on where we think or know more people are going to move.
These boundaries have to be drawn based on the current census information, and that is
exactly what has been done.
Manager Lewis added that we have an amazing talent in our GIS Department, Mr. Matt
Jarman, whose skills in this are exceptional. He was even called upon by the State of Utah to
help them through their process which was great for us as we learned from that and were able
to leverage that expertise for us in creating these maps.
South Jordan City 7
City Council Meeting
June 7, 2022
Council Member Zander noted that she was probably the most vocal during the process,
because her district is the one that will take on every section of growth possible in the city. In
five years, whoever is sitting in District 4 has her apologies as she tried to do her best to
balance things, but it cannot happen in the next five years. She also asked Manager Lewis to
explain more about following the state rules, and the concern that we have growth coming but
we can’t plan for that growth in those map drawings; everything has to be based on the 2020
census. The next time this can be redone is in 2030 with the next census.
Manager Lewis said that when they do redistricting is has to be done based on population at
the last decennial census, which in our case was 2020. This is why it’s so important that they
get participation in the census, so we know where our residents are at and how many people
there are. Based on those numbers finalized after the census, the city looks at those and how
they fall in the precinct districts which are odd shaped polygons all over the city, then they
have to draw the district boundaries so there are equal numbers of people in all districts. They
know one of the challenges in being one of the rapidly growing and expanding cities is that a
lot has changed in two and a half years since the census; however, these numbers have to
reflect that census. During our next chance to update that, he hopes that everyone will
participate in the census so we can redraw the boundaries to meet that criteria at that time. The
city cannot make the maps based on where they think it’s going to happen, it can only be as
we look back to that one day in time.
Council Member Zander wanted to restate that in District 4, the population is already different
than what the numbers were that were used to draw this map. She thanked staff for their hard
work, noting they did the best they could based on what the state allowed. She is comfortable
with this map, and noted that District 4 is going to be the heaviest populated district in the
city.
Manager Lewis said the other unknown wild card in about 10 years when this is done again
will be who is on the council and where they live. One of the challenges was trying to keep
those dots within those districts. Several years ago, when this process was last done, the
person that held the District 4 seat lived on the east side of town. That is why, up until this
change, Council Member Zander has had a very long and skinny district, so that previous
council member could be in their district when the map was redone.
Council Member Marlor noted he was the one that made the motion to make districting
possible, and he caught hell for that. Without that, the council members would be running at
large, like the mayor, and it is very expensive and difficult. With the current population of
almost 85,000 that would really be impossible at this point.
Council Member Harris asked if staff will be looking at this map, once approved, to direct
residents to their possibly updated council members when they call with a question.
Manager Lewis said they will be directing residents based on the new map after it goes into
effect tonight.
South Jordan City 8
City Council Meeting
June 7, 2022
Council Member Marlor motioned to approve Ordinance 2022-13, Amending Section
1.12.030 to remove the legal descriptions related to district boundaries. Council Member
Harris seconded the motion. Roll Call vote was 5-0, unanimous in favor.
H.2. Ordinance 2022-14, Amending Chapter 5.46. related to permitted
locations of mobile food vendors in the City of South Jordan. (By Director of City
Commerce Brian Preece and City Attorney Ryan Loose) RCV
Director of Commerce Brian Preece discussed the work session meeting where this topic was
discussed, and the origination of this ordinance. After discussion with the council, the
direction given was to keep the restriction on the streets, but to allow them in city parks based
on whether the food vendor(s) or citizen is renting a pavilion and they are invited. Director
Preece and City Attorney Ryan Loose met with the city department heads to discuss this, and
the ordinance being presented includes these changes. He understands that Council Members
Zander and McGuire may have more to discuss, and he is open to further discussion.
City Attorney Ryan Loose added that any use of these food vendors as ancillary to a field or
pavilion rental would require that rental agreement. There are many things that aren’t
answered in this ordinance that will be answered in the rental agreement like fees, etc.
Council Member Marlor asked about someone reserving the park and inviting a vendor, does
that vendor have to be licensed to be qualified to come to the park and provide those services.
Attorney Loose replied that the ordinance, independent of where they’re operating in the city,
requires any mobile food vendor to have a license.
Director Preece said we recognize licenses from other cities.
Mayor Ramsey opened the public hearing for comments.
Dan Rodgerson (Resident) is with LIVE Daybreak and commended everyone on
Summerfest, from a guy who does events for a living, it was a phenomenal job and the best
part about it was being able to attend an event and not be responsible for it. He appreciates the
relationships that they have had with the city, being able to host their soapbox derby out in
Highland Park, their drone show, a Ryan Shupe concert out there, and they have a few other
partnerships brewing with some art projects on some city property; there are a lot of things
happening that they are excited about. As many know, food trucks have become somewhat
endeared to the residents of South Jordan City. It wasn’t uncommon that on North Shore they
would have 1000 people out there for the food trucks. Two things happened in 2020, one was
Covid, and second was the development of North Shore; they could no longer house 15-16
trucks out there and they also wanted to spread the trucks out to get a little social distancing.
With that, they started to move food trucks around in little pods of three or four trucks at a
time; one at the train station, a few at North Shore, and the folks at upper Daybreak have been
a little critical that they haven’t quite found a space up there. He is super excited about the
amendment to the ordinance. When they work with food trucks, these folks are vetted, licensed
with the health department, and they have a very in-depth contract which includes the leave no
South Jordan City 9
City Council Meeting
June 7, 2022
trace idea. He goes around Friday morning and ensures there is no evidence that they were
there. They really support this, and what’s really exciting about it is as well is when they see
the trucks evolve into brick and mortar; places like Cup Bop there on SoDa Row, and Waffle
Love coming into The District. Hopefully, as these trucks gain traction they can move into our
city and contribute. He appreciates the support of this ordinance, the folks in upper Daybreak
and throughout all of the city will be very pleased.
Council Member Harris understands that if someone rents a pavilion, they can invite a food
truck vendor to attend; can a food truck vendor rent a pavilion to get access as well.
Director Preece said yes, that is part of the ordinance, the vendor would be the renter, and they
would be able to have their food truck there. There can also be more than one food truck there,
having a group there based on one of them renting the space.
Council Member Zander spoke for Council Member McGuire, they had a phone call earlier
today chatting about their comfort level because they live in Daybreak and see these food
trucks more frequently than anyone else on the council. One of the comments that was brought
up to staff was whether they want to allow for a certain width of a street to accommodate food
trucks and she asked Attorney Loose to share the reasons for that not being a part of this
ordinance.
Attorney Loose noted that the number one reason was based on the council discussion a few
weeks ago, where it was determined not to allow them in the right-of-way. From staff’s
perspective, they wanted to reflect what the council decided, as staff doesn’t have a specific
agenda. One issue with right-of-ways is that it’s very hard to specify right-of-ways. You can
do street widths, which is what was talked about, but if a width in Daybreak adjacent to
Highland Park is smaller or the same size as 2200 West next to a high school or 2700 West
next to a junior high. What would stop the food truck from parking there during lunch for
example, and would they want to stop a food truck from doing that. Once you open the right-
of-ways, you open a whole different set of questions, scenarios, potential problems, as well as
potential positives. In other communities, opening the right-of-ways has caused issues with
their brick and mortar because the trucks park right in front of those stores. In the previous
discussion, staff understood the council as saying they are okay having these trucks as part of
an event, or if the food truck themselves rent the pavilion; that takes care of a lot of the
problems that most ordinances address like garbage cans, tables, bathrooms, etc.
Council Member Zander asked if there are any limits to the number of trucks, or will that be in
the rental agreement.
Attorney Loose said there are not any limits to the number of trucks in the ordinance, but there
are some natural limits. If they wanted to bring in more than 100 people, they would need a
mass gathering permit; as it gets bigger and more complex they would also need to get police
and fire involved. Also, the pavilions are situated and created to handle a certain number of
people and physical space would only allow so many people. The way this is being done,
every food truck wipes out some parking, so there will be natural limits with parking as well.
South Jordan City 10
City Council Meeting
June 7, 2022
Council Member Zander noted that staff is putting together the rental agreement and asked if
that will be brought before the council to weigh-in on.
Attorney Loose said they have current rental agreements, they were going to add to those the
requirements for bringing in food trucks and staff can certainly bring that back to the council
via email if they’d like.
Council Member Zander asked to see it via email so she is aware of what is contained if asked.
She also asked about Section D.1 of the ordinance, where it says people can rent the parks,
pavilions or fields, and noted that there are different options in renting the pavilion or the field.
That would mean that at Highland Park, one body could rent the pavilion and another could
simultaneously be renting the field, and she asked if that was correct.
Director of Recreation Janell Payne said technically that is correct, but they look at each event
or rental and if there are over 100 people it triggers a special event permit with the city; they
gauge that number based on the expected attendance at the event and the nature of the event,
they will not hold soccer on the same night as the Daybreak Food Truck night.
Attorney Loose noted the city reserves the right to schedule it properly and not create a
problem.
Council Member Marlor was concerned about the food trucks constantly scheduling every
Friday night, he would hate to see us monopolizing the city parks every Friday night for the
food trucks as many people have family, church and other events they would like to schedule
at those places as well. There isn’t enough room at somewhere like the Jordan Ridge Park to
have a food truck, so he understands why this works really well at some of the larger parks. If
someone were to come to him and state that they are never able to schedule a park because
there are always food trucks there, he might have a small problem with that.
Council Member Zander noted that the LIVE Daybreak group always does it on Thursdays
through the summer, but she believes they could choose to manage that differently if it became
an issue. If it was a Friday she would have pushback as well, but a Thursday hasn’t appeared
to be a problem yet.
Council Member Harris added that if they notice that certain parks or areas are getting out of
control, they could come back and amend this if they see something that isn’t working. It is up
to the groups overseeing this to make sure it’s done well, so it can continue.
Attorney Loose said he and Director Preece sat down after the previous meeting to draft this
ordinance, and both of their perspectives were that years ago there were more regulations and
when they enacted it they found out most of that wasn’t needed. This time they started the
opposite way, less is more, and if there are problems they will be addressed through policies,
rental agreements, etc. If they can’t be addressed through that, then they will bring back
amendments to this.
Council Member Zander noted she has discussed with both Council Member McGuire and
South Jordan City 11
City Council Meeting
June 7, 2022
Attorney Loose that probably the prettiest parking lot in South Jordan is Highland Park with
pavers. She would be very upset if these food trucks started dripping grease and other stuff on
that parking lot. She asked Mr. Rodgerson to keep an eye on that as he reviews the areas the
day after, as she would not be happy if that lovely park started showing wear and tear in the
parking lot.
Mayor Ramsey added she has seen the events at Highland Park, and people love this. She
thinks this is a good amendment to make this work as it is popular and people from across the
city attend.
Council Member Zander motioned to approve Ordinance 2022-14, Amending City Code
in relation to locations of mobile food vendors. Council Member McGuire seconded the
motion. Roll Call vote was 5-0, unanimous in favor.
F. Staff Reports and Calendaring Items
City Manager Gary Whatcott said they met with Maricopa City, their whole council with
their city manager and mayor, to tour our City Hall, Public Safety Building and the fire
station out in Daybreak. The city manager is a previous city manager of our city, Rick
Horst, and he had heard about and seen some of our changes. They were taken out to tour
Daybreak as well, and had very kind remarks on what we have done.
Mayor Ramsey noted she and Manager Whatcott have been asked to meet with city officials
from Sacramento who are coming to town. They would like to bring them out to show them
the city, what is happening here and what has been accomplished. She also heard from
someone recently who works at the state, that they were talking to the City of Austin and
recommending they also contact us if they are interested.
Council Member Marlor reminded everyone that in early 2000, the city manager took the
entire city council to Denver to see a very similar project when they were trying to create
Daybreak.
Council Member Zander motioned to recess City Council Meeting and move to
Executive Closed Session. Council Member Marlor seconded the motion; vote was
unanimous in favor.
