C. Mayor and Council Coordination
Mayor Pro Tempore Don Shelton discussed coordinating a visit to a Salt Lake County Council
meeting in regards to the pool expansion. He spoke with Salt Lake Council Member Dave
South Jordan City 2
City Council Study Meeting
May 3, 2022
Alvord at the Daybreak Library Grand Opening and he was told this is more of an “act now or
forever hold your peace” type of thing. Salt Lake County Recreation Director Martin Jensen sent
an email saying that he feels there are better places to spend money other than the pool. Council
Member Alvord heard we had a resolution and that we were planning on visiting the county to
present that resolution; they can put us on the agenda if we’d like, they meet every Tuesday at
2:00 p.m. in the afternoon. Council Member Alvord thought it would be good to bring members
of the swim team to the meeting as well.
Director of Strategic Services Don Tingey said the mayor would know who to contact to get
those team members.
Council Member Brad Marlor said that off council Tuesdays are better for him; next week would
be open for him, as well as the 24th.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton and Council Member McGuire agreed they could both do the 10th
or the 24th as well. They agreed to check with the mayor and Council Member Zander for their
schedules.
City Manager Gary Whatcott noted that May 19th is the ribbon cutting for the Bangerter
intersections, it will be located at the 6200 South overpass.
Council Member Jason McGuire mentioned the Gold Star Family Monument Ground Breaking
on Saturday, May 14th, and that it was moved to the Public Safety Building.
City Attorney Ryan Loose mentioned the May 9th Unified Golf Event at Glenmoor, they would
like as many people there as possible.
Council Member Patrick Harris asked about water restrictions and enforcement this year, as he
has had residents asking what the city is going to be doing.
Manager Whatcott said they met with the Water Conservancy District and they will not be
issuing any restrictions to any of their cities they provide water to.
Council Member Harris asked if this means the city will not be enforcing any water restrictions,
and if residents will just be able to water as much as they’d like.
Manager Whatcott said that unless the council wants to invoke some kind of restrictions, we
usually follow the lead of our water provider. He believes our water comes from a different basin
than Weber and others, so we are in a different situation than cities getting their water from other
sources. We should always try to conserve water, but any restrictions will be up to the council.
Enforcement would be tricky, since we don’t really know who would enforce those restrictions;
it would essentially be neighbors reporting each other.
Council Member Harris asked if we will be encouraging residents to conserve.
South Jordan City 3
City Council Study Meeting
May 3, 2022
Manager Whatcott believes that after our most recent water rate study, Public Works will be
bringing back some tiered structuring of water, which will be helpful. This would adjust the tiers
slightly, not just the summer months but early and late watering will be affected as well.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton noted that we already have a tiered structure.
Manager Whatcott said yes, but it will be changed slightly. It will be discussed further in a future
meeting, and they can decide if there needs to be further restrictions at that time.
Council Member Harris said there is a balance; if it looks like we aren’t making any
encouragement towards water conservation it comes across negatively. He has already had
multiple people asking him what the city is going to do about water this year. Residents are
seeing the news, and what’s going on with Lake Meade even though it has nothing to do with us,
and they are wondering what we are going to do to make sure we are doing our part to conserve
water.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton has had a few comments, one resident was very upset that he wasn’t
going to tell the golf course to stop watering, but they have their own water from a well.
Manager Whatcott said staff is still talking about conservation measures, and we have our “flip
the strip” program along with other measures that residents can take advantage of including
water wise landscaping options. We haven’t stopped talking about conservation in a general
sense, but we aren’t being forced to put restrictions on our residents.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton agreed with making the changes on the tiered pricing as discussed,
and suggested an education campaign to encourage residents to conserve.
Council Member McGuire thinks that we should still push the conservation reminder, even
though our water district says we’re in a good spot. If we want to have good water supply in the
future we have to continue that mindset of conservation.
City Attorney Ryan Loose said it might be good to mention to residents that last year we were
significantly under our contract rate because of conservation efforts in the city.
Council Member Marlor suggested leading by example, as he and his whole circle are flipping
their strips this year.
Manager Whatcott said they did discuss our contract with our water district, since we pay
whether we use it all or not; we only used 92% of our contract amount last year and we still paid
the same amount for it. If the water district isn’t willing to come up with some compromise it
will have to be done legislatively, because they are not encouraging municipalities to conserve as
there is no financial reward or incentive in it. If you don’t have enough on your contract, you pay
a ridiculous amount to get more, but if you underutilize your contract you still pay the full
amount. Your water fund is a revenue-based program because it is self-sustaining, but you still
want conservation; the more you conserve, the less of a financial reward you have. The district
South Jordan City 4
City Council Study Meeting
May 3, 2022
has all kinds of bonds out on infrastructure, so they need that money or they can’t meet their
obligations. There should be a reward for saving money and water on our contract. We also need
to be careful how hard we push the message, because our residents responded so well to the
message last year and would do the same this year. If we push too hard when we don’t need to, it
has a revenue impact on us.
Assistant City Manager Dustin Lewis noted that we don’t meet our bonds if we don’t sell enough
water.
Communications Manager Rachael Van Cleave discussed an article in the Focus Newsletter that
just went out about water conservation, talking about the new rebates that our water conservation
program offers this year. This includes hardscape elements where residents can get curbing and
stones, and directs them to the Water Smart SoJo site. They also like to share the DNR’s
watering guides, and they try to do that regularly.
Council Member Harris said it could just be an educational campaign, rather than restrictions,
but the more we can do to encourage and share ways to do it, the better.
Manager Whatcott said they also discussed more punitive actions. We tell the residents they
don’t have to save water, but if they are going to use it in the earlier or later months like March
and October, they are going to pay a premium price for it. Also, in the tiered structure there are
five tiers, and if you are in the top two tiers those are the ones they want to adjust with a higher
cost.
Assistant Manager Lewis said there will also be some tiers tied to Jordan Valley’s drought level
restrictions. As they go into drought levels 3, 4 or 5 and impose penalties on the city, that will be
reflected into a rate structure. There will be tiered rate structures for each level of drought,
depending on which one they say we are in.
Manager Whatcott said we will notify residents when the drought level is moved, and share the
new rate structure based on that. In the future years ahead, if things continue the way they are
headed, we will probably see more scenarios with tighter water usage.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton asked if we are considering flipping any city park strips.
Assistant Manager Lewis said we are looking at areas in our parks that are not getting a lot of
use, taking out those turf areas and adding water wise landscaping there. We just flipped the
front yard of the Public Works building to make it water wise landscaping, and we are looking at
replacing some of our play fields with artificial turf, rather than grass. We are also getting
demands to use the fields earlier and earlier into the season, which is harder on our fields and
requires more water. However, if we go to turf, we have to look at whether that allows us to start
using the fields in March, rather than waiting until April.
Manager Whatcott said that most of our large parks are on secondary water, so we are not using
any culinary water on those larger areas.
South Jordan City 5
City Council Study Meeting
May 3, 2022
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton asked about messaging around “leading by example,” showing
things the city is actively doing or considering to help conserve water.
Communications Manager Van Cleave said there was an interview she did with ABC4 on water
conservation that just aired, but it’s not on their website yet.
Associate Director of Parks Colby Hill said that they are under contract for a consultant to help
them determine the best processes for the park strips, that will close out in the next three to four
months and they will start budgeting for flipping those strips. In addition, they went through all
the parks and have identified spaces to start changing the landscaping. They will not be taking
away the usability of the park, but finding areas with grass that just don’t make sense. They have
prequalified four contractors in the last two weeks, and they will start using them to do these
projects. It will take some time, as it’s not cheap, but next year he thinks we will see some bigger
changes and they will start budgeting a little bit better.
Manager Whatcott has looked at all the opportunities available through the feds and everyone
else related to buying artificial turf for conservation measures, and there is nothing; you can’t get
grants for that as it’s all about building more water tanks and things like that.
Council Member Marlor would love for Ms. Van Cleave to be involved in his cul-de-sac’s
project to show residents how easy it is to change, especially when they band together.
Assistant Manager Lewis asked for an amendment to the agenda to add a closed session for the
purpose of discussing the character of an individual at the end of this meeting.
Council Member McGuire motioned to add an Item F, a closed session to discuss the
character and competency of an individual. Council Member Marlor seconded the motion;
vote was unanimous in favor. Council Member Zander was absent from the vote.
D. Discussion/Review of Regular Council Meeting
Presentation Item:
- Proclamation recognizing Addi Bruening Cross Country Gatorade Player of the
Year Award.
Action Items:
- Resolution R2022-25, Establishing a South Jordan Youth Council.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton asked if there will be a limit on the number of participants.
Director of Recreation Janell Payne said not at this point. There were 50 this last year, and with
full attendance that was a larger group. In the future she would suggest looking at that, but this
year there are only 30 youth signed up. As far as the bylaws go, that number is not yet limited.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton asked about the budget for the program this upcoming year.
South Jordan City 6
City Council Study Meeting
May 3, 2022
Director Payne said the total budget being proposed for this next year is $15,000.
- Resolution R2022-18, Adopting Tentative Budget FY 2022-23.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton sent out his questions beforehand, CFO Sunil Naidu responded to
him.
- Resolution RDA 2022-04, Adopting RDA Tentative Budget FY 2022-23.
- Resolution 2022-23, Development Agreement 10597 South 1055 West.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton said this development agreement is related to one of the public
hearing items below.
Public Hearing Items:
- Resolution R2022-24, Amending Future Land Use Plan Map 10597 South
1055 West.
- Zoning Ordinance 2022-04-Z, R-1.8 Zone to the R-3 Zone, applicant
Brandon Asay.
- Zoning Ordinance 2022-05-Z, A-5 Zone to the R-2.5 Zone, applicant Stan
Hatt.
- Ordinance 2022-11, Vacating a portion of the Waterline Easement, located at
11210 South River Heights Dr.
Attorney Loose suggested having the public hearing regarding the lot on 1055 West, then voting
on the development agreement, so the public has a chance to voice their opinions before the vote.
E. Discussion Items
E.1. Senior Advisory Member appointment. (By Community Center Supervisor
Jamie Culbertson)
Community Center Supervisor Jamie Culbertson said they are in the process of increasing their
Senior Advisory Committee and she has had the opportunity to speak with one of the most recent
applicants several times over the last month or so. She had her attend some of the events recently
and she was very impressed with her passion, knowledge and what she has to offer. She invited
Cheryl Staley up to introduce herself and answer any questions from the council.
Cheryl Staley is 70, and when she saw the newsletter in February it intrigued her for two reasons.
The first was that there are over 70 million baby boomers, those ages 46-64. They control 70% of
the nation’s wealth and they had the best music, the best cars, etc. She has realized that in eight
more years they will all be over 65 years old, and that will have a huge impact to healthcare, local
and state government, etc. The second reason she was intrigued is because Covid really changed
the social fabric. There have been articles, editorials in the Wall Street Journal and locally about
how it affected everyone, particularly seniors. Many of the seniors work from home now, and even
though they are on Zoom calls, they text and chat, they really still feel socially isolated. Her
neighbor told her that for the first time in her entire life, even though she has a daughter and
South Jordan City 7
City Council Study Meeting
May 3, 2022
grandson living with her, she feels lonely socially. Ms. Staley wasn’t really aware of what the
program was, and she has been so impressed with Ms. Culbertson; whatever she is being paid, it’s
not enough. Ms. Staley thinks this will be really fun and she has some ideas, but she would really
like to get the word out because a lot of people aren’t aware of what’s available. Her generation
invented many of the technological platforms the younger generation enjoy, so they are pretty tech
savvy, but they also like to have fun. She’d like to bring more people into the program. Her
background is sales and the technical arena; she is used to growing and developing businesses, and
she has had a lot of leadership positions and experience managing budgets.
Council Member Harris asked how long she has lived in the city.
Ms. Staley responded about four and a half years. She is in real estate and chose South Jordan
because it’s such a good city.
Council Member Harris asked where Ms. Staley lives in the city.
Ms. Staley said she lives just north of Glenmoor. She said that about a month ago she called the
USU Extension because she has some really large trees, and she was really worried about water.
The person she spoke with told her the one concern with flipping park strips is that those trees have
to have water. People think the roots go deep, but they don’t, they are within the top two feet of the
soil. His concern with all this water conservation is losing the trees; the grass will come back, but
the trees won’t.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton said that Ms. Staley has reached out to him about other issues in the
city and he appreciates her involvement.
Ms. Staley said she was assigned to be on the Zoom calls for council meetings and, as a realtor, she
feels we have a well-run city and she has been very impressed.
Council Member Harris thanked her for her willingness to serve.
E.2. Updates from Herriman High School. By Principal Todd Quarnberg)
Todd Quarnberg said that the reason they are here is because 80% of his student body lives in
South Jordan. When boundaries were re-drawn a while ago, they included a huge part of
Daybreak. When they are talking about their community, it is Herriman; Herriman City has been
very good to them in the past and he always will appreciate what Herriman City has done for
them. He used to be an administrator at Bingham High School, and when you talk about high
school in South Jordan, it’s always Bingham High. However, when we talk about some of the
issues and problems, things like the Youth Council discussed tonight and Addi Bruening who is
being recognized tonight, they affect Herriman High just as much. Many of the things they do
are certainly with students who belong to South Jordan City. He has been trying to get to know
the city and has talked with Mayor Ramsey on several occasions. South Jordan City Days has
always been the week after graduation, and they always like to participate in South Jordan City
Days. If that could be moved to another week, that would be great since it’s hard to get a band
South Jordan City 8
City Council Study Meeting
May 3, 2022
together when they just celebrated on Friday night. Last year they went down the South Jordan
City parade route, and at every stop you could see the announcer along the way confused as to
why Herriman City was there. His intent was really good with them being there, to help people
recognize and realize that they are part of the community as well, but they were referred to as our
“sister city.”
Council Member Harris noted that definitely needs to be changed.
Mr. Quarnberg understands the confusion. When a school takes on a city name, that is really
hard, and when you are talking about a longstanding perennial 110 year old high school that also
is in the South Jordan boundaries, this is expected. Bingham has a huge, long tradition. They
have that privilege of having graduates going to college, meeting other Bingham graduates, and
then moving back to South Jordan; Bingham has a lot of power behind it. Their school, he hopes,
will get there in time but they have a long ways to go. He talked about growth, right now they are
at 2100 kids; before splitting to form Mountain Ridge which is mostly Herriman and some
Riverton, they would be at 4500 kids. The motto out there seems to be stack ‘em deep, teach ‘em
cheap. The growth is definitely that way, and looking out past 11800 South out to U-111, it is
growing fast in Daybreak and South Jordan. He wants that partnership with the city, not just
recognition, but help. When they are trying to get business sponsors for activities, donations for
athletics or performing arts, and you go into a business to ask about a banner or other support
they respond that they support their South Jordan school, Bingham. It would be helpful to get
businesses and industry to recognize that Herriman High School is a part of the South Jordan
community; it puts them at a financial disadvantage. Mountain Ridge is all Herriman, so it’s an
easy sell. Herriman High School does have some good businesses in Daybreak that do help, and
most if not all of their South Jordan residents are in that Daybreak community; they would like
to get more affiliated with that community. Also, when they talk about school issues like the
youth council, social and mental health, things that our community should be concerned about,
he wants to be at the table with this community as they talk about it. Four years ago he was
brought to Herriman High School and told that his job was to be more visible because they had
just had suicide issues. Thankfully, they haven’t had a suicide since, but if anyone thinks he was
the one that fixed that, he wasn’t; it took a community to do that. It took him going to the LDS
stakes in the area to ask what they’re doing about it, going to the city and asking what they’re
doing about it, etc. They need that support from a community on social and mental health. They
haven’t fixed the problem, and he looks forward to the days when his number one priority would
be just to teach Math, Science and English. Their jobs have become much more involved in
relationships and dealing with social/emotional health, which he is not angry about, but he is
certainly not qualified as he didn’t go to school to be a social worker or to deal with mental
health. That being said, they will stand up and do everything they can to help their youth; it will
take a community to do that. He doesn’t want to exclude Bingham, as they are dealing with the
exact same issues that every high school across the nation are facing. He hopes South Jordan
City can be involved with Herriman High School. They want to be involved in the youth
councils, they want to send students to be recognized, they are happy to host and share to be a
part of not just Daybreak, but the whole city. He thinks they will only get more and more South
Jordan growth. When he looks at where the new high school needs to go, he knows there is
property purchased between Herriman and Copper Hills High School, which is Daybreak. The
South Jordan City 9
City Council Study Meeting
May 3, 2022
growth is certainly in the Herriman High School area and he wants to be prepared for that, he
wants to know what the issues are. Two of his assistant principals are residents of South Jordan,
and he was an administrator at Bingham, and he wants to get involved.
Council Member Harris asked if they have thought about changing the school’s name to solve
some of the problems he discussed.
Mr. Quarnberg said it has been brought up before, possibly even discussed in board meetings.
The problem with that is both the current South Jordan resident students and the alumni don’t
hate the name of Herriman High, because it’s tradition. That is the problem, but he thinks the
school board would also recognize that has been a problem, thus naming Mountain Ridge as they
did. He doesn’t think they will ever name another high school for a city because the boundaries
change so quickly.
Council Member McGuire asked how long Herriman High has been open.
Mr. Quarnberg said he thinks it has been about 15 years, and they are starting to get those
traditions. They have great students, they are competitive when it comes to athletics and
performing arts. They have the third or fourth largest marching band in the state of Utah, their
choir is impeccable. Academically, they had the highest graduation rate in the Jordan School
District this past year at 95%. The parents in our community with kids at the school are very
driven by academics, they want the very best for their kids. Herriman High offers just as much or
more concurrent enrollment and AP classes than any other schools in the district. They even had
an Olympian this past year at their school who ran track and played volleyball, and they have had
pro football players come out of Herriman.
Council Member McGuire wanted to add a plug for Ms. Chen and her getting the Chinese Dual
Immersion program established there.
Mr. Quarnberg said that he thinks Mountain Ridge and Bingham have immersion programs as
well, but he would argue he has the best teacher out of all of them for Chinese. They definitely
offer a broad range of curriculum at Herriman.
Manager Whatcott said their students have big hearts as well.
Mr. Quarnberg said they raised $150,000 in charity contributions. Riverton High School outdoes
them, but they collect year round and he isn’t even going to try and beat them. Herriman was
second and has a smaller student body. Regarding service in the community, since August 1st
Herriman has added 80 new students to their school, specifically refugees from Venezuela. Their
demographics are changing, and these students are mostly driven to get their education. Some
live in the government housing apartments in Herriman, right behind the school. Many are in
townhouses in Daybreak, living two to three families deep; that has caught the school off guard
dramatically. They of course allocate their teachers, and when students come in that don’t speak
English they try to get them in an English immersion class that is small, preferably less than 20
students. All these refugees came and they can’t get more teachers. Their ESL classes have been
South Jordan City 10
City Council Study Meeting
May 3, 2022
pushing 30 kids, and they have been adding seventh period authorizations trying to spread those
kids out. Herriman High School is also providing a lot of food for those families; a neighboring
charter school has come over and gotten food and clothing from them to help for the same
demographic. Aspen Elementary has come to get food because not all the families in the area
have high school kids, Copper Mountain has come over to pick up food. They will continue to
add refugees, and the students are doing a lot of service to help their peers and new immigrants
coming in; he feels that is one of the biggest changes within the school. He loves Mayor Ramsey,
he has known her since she was involved with the State PTSA, and she takes care of Herriman
High School. They love it when she comes to the rival football games between Herriman High
School and Bingham High School, wearing a South Jordan City shirt, since she has kids going to
both schools. He added that their graduation is on June 2nd, and they are having a parade. South
Jordan has sent council members in the past to their events, and he welcomed any council
members who would like to come this year.
Stewart Hudnell said they are having a 9:30 a.m. parade, 7:30 p.m. graduation at Herriman High
on June 2nd.
Mr. Quarnberg said their graduation is on campus, at their football field, and they would love to
have the city council members attend.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton asked Director Payne if we have students from Herriman High
School on the Youth City Council.
Director Payne said yes, we do.
Mr. Quarnberg said he saw the Youth Council on the agenda and that made him very excited to
support those who come from Herriman High School, and he would love to know who those
students are.
E.3. Council re-districting discussion. (By GIS Coordinator Matt Jarman)
Assistant Manager Lewis reviewed previous redistricting maps and discussion from a previous
meeting. Based on the feedback and comments from that meeting, our GIS Coordinator Matt
Jarman has reworked that feedback into a new map for the council’s consideration (Attachment
A). This is the same map that was sent out to the council several weeks ago. He got some
feedback from Council Member Marlor, and he assumes the nonresponse from the other council
members means all their criteria was met.
GIS Coordinator Jarman noted that Attachment A included the two maps that were the favorites
from the previous meeting, as well as a third map labeled Scenario F.
Assistant Manager Lewis noted that Scenario F in Attachment A is the most recent map that
meets all of the legal criteria, as well as the preferences and feedback from the last meeting.
South Jordan City 11
City Council Study Meeting
May 3, 2022
GIS Coordinator Jarman discussed all the requirements and criteria, shown on the presentation
that the city uses for redistricting (Attachment A). Scenario B was one of the favored scenarios
from the previous meeting, along with Scenario C, however there wasn’t a huge difference
between the two. Scenario F is the adjusted boundaries using the feedback, with the major
change being extending more of District 3 into the northern part of Daybreak.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton noted that there are no planned residents in the extension piece on
the map.
Assistant Manager Lewis said they can’t build the map off of what is going to happen, they have
to go with the census tracks.
GIS Coordinator Jarman said to keep it legally defensible, they have to keep it within the census
boundaries that they use.
Manager Whatcott said that the large section to the west, that the U of U owns, may not be
university property one day; it could be sold, or one day developed into student housing.
GIS Coordinator Jarman said the census block groups are in the red.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton asked where the U of U owns big property out in Daybreak.
Manager Whatcott said it’s the 90 acres that’s between the blue piece and Mountain View
Corridor. Right now it’s just in a land bank, they don’t have any solid plans for it yet. For all we
know, it could be an investment parcel they are holding on to, or they might have other plans.
There is potential for that 90 acres to have housing in it of some sort in the future.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton asked about the other piece going out to U-111.
Manager Whatcott said that is more industrial.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton said it’s too bad they can’t split that census track down South
Jordan Parkway, he’s sure that would help Council Member Zander feel better and he would be
fine with it.
GIS Coordinator Jarman said that will probably happen in the future, but they have to work with
what they have been given now.
Assistant Manager Lewis said that one small change shifts the map all over the place, and they
have to start trading other pieces to keep everything in balance since the population has to be
within that plus or minus 750 range.
Mayor Pro Tempore Shelton is okay with the map in Scenario F.
South Jordan City 12
City Council Study Meeting
May 3, 2022
Council Member Marlor favors Scenario F.
Council Member McGuire is fine with Scenario F.
Council Member Harris agreed with Scenario F.
Manager Whatcott said they’d like to bring back a resolution in two weeks to adopt this if
everyone agrees.
Assistant Manager Lewis said that one of the biggest challenges was keeping the districts where
each council member currently lives. Previously the council members were more spaced out, and
it made things much easier. This is also why Council Member Zander’s district went all the way
to I-15, because the previous council member lived closer to that area. They will bring back
Scenario F with a resolution in two weeks.
E.4. Senior housing concept. (By Ivory Homes)
Chris Gamvroulas from Ivory Homes suggested discussing this item in a closed meeting.
Attorney Loose said the council could amend this item to a closed session.
Council Member Marlor motioned to amend the agenda and move to a closed session to
discuss the purchase, sale or lease of real property. Council Member McGuire seconded the
motion; vote was unanimous in favor. Council Member Zander was absent from the vote.
Adjourn City Council Study Meeting and move to Closed Session to discuss the purchase, sale
or lease of real property.
