A. Welcome, Roll Call and Introduction: By Mayor Dawn R. Ramsey
Mayor Ramsey welcomed everyone present and introduced the meeting.
B. Invocation: By Director of Strategy & Budget Don Tingey
Director Tingey offered the invocation.
C. Mayor and Council Coordination
Council Member Tamara Zander brought up the Dragon Boat Races in Daybreak, and she would
like to see a team put together by the city this year since they didn’t have enough for last year.
That event takes place August 27, and the race is run on Daybreak Lake.
Deputy City Manager Dustin Lewis said they would get the word out and see if they can get
enough employees to create a team.
D. Discussion/Review of Regular Council Meeting
- Presentation: Fire update
Mayor Ramsey said they have been hearing from residents on both sides, for and against
firework regulations in the city.

- Public Hearing: JVWCD Proposed Property Tax Increase for Water Service purposes
Mayor Ramsey said the increase for an average home will be $7 per year. The more we
conserve, the less money comes in to the water conservancy district; however, the cost of
delivering water doesn’t go down, budgets still have to be met, and this $7 per year is what the
water district needs. This is not entirely due to conservation as things like inflation have
contributed, but she did note that South Jordan conserved more water than any other user in the
water district.
Council Member Zander asked to have something put together to show that we did in fact
conserve the most water, she’d like to see that shared with the public.
- Public Hearing: Zoning Ordinance 2022-06-Z, Bowthorpe Rezone
- Public Hearing: Ordinance 2022-12, Text Amendment for Planning Commission
Council Member Don Shelton asked about what happens in the case of a tie vote for the new
planning commission rules, is that spelled out in the code.
Director of Planning Steven Schaefermeyer said a tie would mean the motion fails as a no vote, it
must be a majority vote to pass.
Council Member Brad Marlor said he heard there might be some members of the public coming
regarding the truth in taxation.
Mayor Ramsey said that some residents read some inflammatory articles on social media about
taxes, and after contacting City Hall and getting the correct information they were appeased. An
interview with Fox 13 was released a week ago on Friday, and there were a few social media
posts by either elected or formerly elected officials about the tax increases. Just in Salt Lake
County there are 23 entities doing a truth in taxation this year, and a strong majority of places
around the state are in a similar place.
Council Member Shelton has had one call from an engineer known to city staff, and the same
person called City Manager Gary Whatcott as well. None of the other council members have
received calls from residents regarding the truth in taxation yet. He has been working with
Deputy City Manager Dustin Lewis, who has been working with our CFO Sunil Naidu and other
staff to correct some of the language being used in the media posts so it reflects the way things
actually work.
Dwayne Woolley (Resident) said that, having served on the planning commission for many
years, he thinks it’s great to add one more member. The main reason for coming was to thank
everyone for the opportunity of serving as the Grand Marshall. It was unexpected and a pleasure,
and wanted everyone to know how much he appreciated it.
E. Presentation Items
South Jordan City 3
City Council Study Meeting
July 19, 2022
E.1. Utah Department of Transportation presentation (By UDOT Grant
Farnsworth)
Grant Farnsworth introduced those who were in attendance, both in person and online, from
UDOT. They originally presented about this study about nine months ago, and staff was wise in
the suggestion to pause the study and wait for the Bangerter projects to finish up. That way,
when they went out to the public they could avoid the consternation from 11400 South being
slammed from the other construction sites. This study was started due to UDOT’s coordination
with city staff. Staff identified some future needs in their master transportation plan and noted
they were not on the regional transportation plan. They got together with WFRC and other
partners, got some funding, and they brought those results here. He began reviewing his prepared
presentation (Attachment A). When speaking about the regional transportation plan, they are not
talking about something being built tomorrow, this is being proactive as there is no funding for
it, and this isn’t necessarily the solution. This allows for feedback and in the future will need to
be revisited with an environmental study.
Council Member Zander asked why the plan stops at 4000 West and doesn’t continue to
Bacchus.
Mr. Farnsworth responded that’s because the state facility ends at Bangerter Highway, so from
that point to the west is a local road. They included 4000 West because it has such a big impact
on Bangerter Highway that it needed to be added. He continued reviewing Attachment A and
noted that when they mention year 2050 in the presentation, that assumes that Mountain View
Corridor is a freeway with four lanes in each direction, that Bangerter Highway is now a
freeway, and many other east/west roads like 10400 South and 9000 South are seven lanes all the
way to Bangerter. He also noted that due to staff coordination, they were able to join on with the
annual survey to residents with three questions to get feedback on 11400 South. He reviewed that
feedback shown on Attachment A.
Mayor Ramsey said that the feedback from residents that they would like to improve east/west
travel times is something she can appreciate, but she wanted to look more at the supportive
responses regarding increased vehicle capacity and efficiency at key intersections, as she was
surprised by that response.
Council Member Shelton asked if the survey defined what “increasing vehicle capacity” meant.
Mr. Farnsworth said it was not defined, it was left up to the person being surveyed to interpret
that as they see fit. He reviewed the options that have been eliminated and will not be considered
any further, as part of this study was to eliminate unreasonable alternatives. He continued
reviewing the eliminated options at 4000 West including being realigned, right in/right out,
westbound using Country Crossing with no left turns. He then reviewed the eliminated options in
the District Area like consolidated lights from 3600 West to Bangerter. They haven’t looked too
far into the super street options in the District Area, as they’ve been more focused on the corridor
options, but they will study them further. He explained a ring road, which basically requires you
to go in at one intersection and come out at another, making it a one way street. They have
South Jordan City 4
City Council Study Meeting
July 19, 2022
eliminated a freeway and express lanes, as those would be very impactful to the surrounding
neighborhoods. He reviewed the active transportation improvements from Attachment A. They
believe that 11800 South is a great low stress corridor for active transportation, but they would
still like to make it possible for 11400 South to be used comfortably. He moved on to the revised
options in Attachment A, and the related graphics are in the attachment as well. He noted that
these options were created with the thought in mind that the morning peak doesn’t have a large
surge in travel times, whereas the surge in travel time during the PM peak is much longer. He
discussed widening 11400 South to three lanes in both directions for differing lengths, along
with only widening the westbound side to three lanes with potential continuous flow
intersections at Redwood Road and a thru-turn at 4000 West. Corresponding graphics were
shown and are included in Attachment A.
Council Member Zander asked if these year 2050 projections include the projected development
out of Daybreak.
Mr. Farnsworth said this does include that growth, but does not include the potential
“densifying” he has heard is coming there.
Mayor Ramsey noted that the overall density should be included in these predictions, as the
overall density isn’t changing in Daybreak.
Mr. Farnsworth said that yes, this is using that projected overall density.
Council Member Zander asked for those estimated numbers, as those numbers heading into
Daybreak in the evening are far more frustrating than other times.
Mr. Farnsworth said he can send that information to the council with the future forecasted
volumes. He also noted that adding more lanes attracts more vehicles, so each of the proposed
scenarios attracts different amounts of people.
Council Member Marlor asked if this was a common scenario in most places, having heavier
traffic in the evening going one way.
Mr. Farnsworth said that directional traffic is typical, and usually the AM commute is not as
busy as the PM commute because the later commute has background trips of people running
other errands and trips. He continued reviewing the graphics regarding the options on
Attachment A.
Council Member Zander asked about the potential thru-turn at 4000 West.
Mr. Farnsworth explained that they would go through the intersection at 4000 West, and then
there would be a light allowing a u-turn past 4000 West to then turn right and relieve the backup
of traffic.
South Jordan City 5
City Council Study Meeting
July 19, 2022
Director of Engineering Brad Klavano added that this is only in one direction, some other local
intersections use this for multiple directions, but this would only be the one direction. This
improvement would also be from our budget, as that is a local road at that point.
Mr. Farnsworth said in terms of short term improvements, the u-turn seems to make the most
sense. He then moved on in Attachment A and discussed each of the options and differences in
travel time and how each would improve those times.
Director Klavano wanted to note that Option 1 reduces the time a little in the AM, but the PM
would have a huge reduction in time.
Mr. Farnsworth said that much of the eastbound traffic is also going to I-15, but they are just
going to be metered at the ramps, so we don’t want to push all the traffic there so fast that the
ramps are bottlenecked. Option 2 is only two lanes eastbound, with more lanes westbound and
two continuous flow intersections (CFI) that results is a large reduction in the PM travel times as
well. Option 3 is the same as Option 2 but without the CFI at Redwood Road and adding a third
eastbound lane. The westbound PM travel time is reduced about the same as Option 2, and the
eastbound time has a slightly higher reduction.
Mayor Ramsey said there also would be a huge difference in cost when considering adding lanes,
so only adding the lanes on one side where it makes a much bigger difference makes sense.
Mr. Farnsworth discussed Option 4 from Attachment A, only widening the road near the District
and having a CFI at Redwood Road. This option would also have a High-T, where you make a
left turn into the median and then you merge with the westbound movement. This would remove
a traffic signal and keep traffic moving westbound.
Director Klavano noted they have one of those High-T intersections off 9800 South, near the
elementary school and West Jordan has one on Old Bingham near the Amazon Building.
Mayor Ramsey said that there is one near her subdivision and it has been a great solution with
the high school there.
Mr. Farnsworth said you do lose pedestrian movement with those, unless there is a bridge. He
moved to the summary slides in his presentation (Attachment A), and said they will continue to
evaluate these options. Options 2 and 3 are similar and appear to have the best all-around
benefits. The next steps they are recommending are a high level preliminary design on Options 2
and 3, to get an idea of the potential footprint for the concepts, see what adjacent parcels would
be impacted and what sorts of active transportation facilities they could provide for safety; those
concepts would also include high level cost estimates. Attachment A includes more than just the
slides he presented tonight, there are more at the end for staff to look at for more insight.
Council Member Shelton asked about possible timing, when would they actually be making
these improvements.
South Jordan City 6
City Council Study Meeting
July 19, 2022
Mr. Farnsworth said it seems like people are really interested in understanding how traffic will
adapt with Mountain View Corridor and Bangerter becoming freeways, so it makes the most
sense to look at these improvements after those projects are completed. There are additional
things that can be done sooner and cheaper, like the thru-turn and widening in the District Area,
where the pavement is already there and it would cost a lot less.
Mayor Ramsey said that this absolutely needs to be in the regional transportation plan, which is
updated every four years at Wasatch Regional Council, and that is currently being wrapped up.
She appreciates all the effort to make sure this is a part of that. The continual exploration of
having three lanes in one direction and keeping the two lanes in the other direction with
additional space for active transportation is her first choice.
Council Member McGuire agreed, he wrote Option 2 down as his first choice.
Council Member Zander referred to the suggestion of one way in and one way out of the District,
and that she sees people crossing by the McDonald’s and further down; if a pedestrian pushes a
button, everyone is now waiting at a light. What if they only allowed pedestrians to go
north/south at one of the intersections so both aren’t slowing down the traffic.
Mr. Farnsworth said they are looking at those impacts, possibly having two pedestrian bridges.
The problem is that people don’t like pedestrian bridges because you have to go way up to cross,
and tunnels tend to make people feel unsafe.
Council Member Zander appreciated them looking at the traffic at 4000 West.
Director Klavano said that when they did the environmental study for the 11400 South and
Bangerter interchange, they knew 4000 West would have to be addressed at some point in time.
The main cost for that U-turn would be a signal and some striping with some pavement.
Council Member Zander would like to see us look at that option as soon as possible.
Director Klavano said that will take a lot of PR work with the Oquirrh Mountain Marketplace.
Council Member Marlor asked about the option for more lanes just in the District area, would
they be widening only the one side in that area also. He thinks that area could use the extra lane
on both sides due to the amount of traffic with the commercial appeal.
Mr. Farnsworth said there could be a hybrid option combining #2 and #3, with three lanes
westbound, and three lanes eastbound but only in the District area.
Council Member Marlor is concerned about the growth in the future and bottlenecking in an area
that we know needs more width for the movement. He would prefer seeing three lanes each way
through the entire corridor, but especially through the commercial area as we want to continue to
bring people to that area to shop. If they can’t get there, they will go shop somewhere else.
South Jordan City 7
City Council Study Meeting
July 19, 2022
Mr. Farnsworth said they will be looking at that option, and seeing how they can maximize the
space they have and avoiding taking lots of land. He believes there are high voltage lines on the
north side, and that’s something that has to be weighed into the cost as well.
E.2. Senior Advisory Committee member appointment (By Community Center
Supervisor Jamie Culbertson)
Community Center Supervisor Jamie Culbertson introduced the new applicant for the Senior
Advisory Committee, Leeanne Whittaker, who is a 17 year resident of South Jordan.
Leeanne Whittaker said she is very grateful because she is so healthy. At 81 years old she can do
this kind of thing, they said they needed help and she said she could do that.
Mayor Ramsey asked her if she knew a lot about the senior services provided by the city, or if
this is new for her.
Supervisor Culbertson said Ms. Whittaker has been coming for quite a while, and through Covid
she picked up a lot of meals for people in her neighborhood that couldn’t make it.
Council Member Patrick Harris said that’s what it’s all about, helping people and making people
feel welcome.
Ms. Whittaker noted that at this time in her life she can do this, not everyone her age can and she
tries to help her neighbors and anyone else.
Mayor Ramsey said we need capable leadership for every stage in life, for everything we are
doing. We need leaders in our elementary schools, our senior programming, and every stage in-
between. She thanked her for her willingness to serve, and for recognizing and answering the call
for volunteers.
E.3. Planning Commission commissioner appointment (By Director of
Planning Steven Schaefermeyer)
Aaron Starks is the mayor’s appointee for the planning commission. He appreciated the spirit of
the meeting, and it makes him proud to be a resident of South Jordan. Like Ms. Whittaker, he is
happy to get involved because he can, and this community means a lot to him. He spent about ten
years at a company with local ties, but with an international footprint, Franklin Covey. He ran
the Asia operations for five years in Tokyo, and they wanted to renew their contract with the
company but he said no, he wanted to be home. This is home for his family, they want to raise
their kids here in South Jordan. He has been involved a little bit, planning is certainly a new area
that he hopes to be able to contribute to. He looks forward to being a good partner to the council
and supporting however he can.
Council Member Zander asked where he lived in the area.
South Jordan City 8
City Council Study Meeting
July 19, 2022
Mr. Starks responded off 10200 South and 4800 West, a newer community there off the 18th hole
at Glenmoor. He works for World Trade Center Utah, a public-private partner with the State of
Utah. Their mission is to accelerate growth for Utah companies around the world and he is the
executive vice president there. As a public-private partner to the state, they work closely with the
Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity, and together they identify companies, select
markets around the world, and help them overcome regulatory or compliance hurdles before
introducing them to buyers, partners and investors in those markets. They work with companies
like Cotopaxi, and took them to Europe. They just took Overstock to Canada, and are working
with Built Bar right now which is a great company. About two out of every four jobs here in the
state is tied to an export, that’s how diverse this economy is. Their largest trading partner as a
state would include Mexico, and between their goods and services like advance materials, coal,
consumer products and electronics they trade a lot with Mexico, UK, Canada and China. We are
very much a state that imports more than we export, and since our economy is robust there are a
lot of companies who want to think beyond our borders and do more commerce around the
world. They have quadrupled head count in the past two years just trying to keep up with the
innovation taking place in the private sector. He very much views South Jordan as the future of
Salt Lake County, and with the urban center and ongoing projects; he can see this is the place
where more of that innovation is going to take place.
Mayor Ramsey noted that she wanted Mr. Starks to introduce himself and illustrate that he
knows what’s going on, and sees the opportunities here.
Council Member Shelton asked Mr. Starks if the decisions of the planning commission regarding
Daybreak were administrative, not legislative, as he doesn’t want a potential conflict of interest.
Director Schaefermeyer said the only decisions that the planning commission makes are
administrative, they make legislative recommendations.
Council Member Marlor asked Mr. Starks if time-wise he has the ability to maneuver his
schedule around and participate. One of the reasons they are adding another member is because
sometimes they are falling short on members.
Mr. Starks responded that yes, he does have that ability in his schedule.
Council Member McGuire motioned to move from the City Council Study Meeting to an
Executive Closed Session, Council Member Zander seconded the motion; Vote was
unanimous in favor.
