Combined City Council &
Redevelopment Agency Meeting
May 21, 2024
Council Member Tamara Zander
- Serves on the South Valley Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors currently, helping
to represent South Jordan City on a Utah Delegation that recently visited Washington.
There was a delegation of about 90 in Washington, D.C, who were able to speak with
elected officials who took time of out their schedules to meet with them about what’s
happening in Utah and what they can do to help. There are so many good people doing a
lot of good in Washington, which is contrary to what is seen in the media. She was very
encouraged and came away with a deeper respect for those she met with.
Council Member Patrick Harris
- Attended South Valley Sewer Board Meeting.
- Attended ULCT meeting.
- Attended RIMS RISKWORLD with his private employer, and noted there were cities in
attendance as well.
Council Member Johnson – Nothing to share
Council Member Jason McGuire
- Art on the Towne Event and Quilt Show
- Tickets available for Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat.

- Represented the City of South Jordan, along with other key staff members, receiving a
national award from the American Civil Engineering Companies for the Pure SoJo
Project. She discussed all the opportunities this has opened up for groups around the
country to visit and share about the project.
F. Public Comment
Mayor Ramsey opened the public comment portion of the meeting.
Dan Ramsey (Resident) – I just wanted to give a quick shout out to Parks & Recs for the work
they have done at the baseball fields. I have been managing little league baseball over there for
about 15 years now and I am pleased with the cooperation and collaboration that takes place with
Sam and Chet over there. Also with the City Council and the safety nets put in place, the signage
that has been placed at the fields; thank you very much for your support and efforts to make sure
we have a safe place for our children to develop and encourage them to show forth strength in
their endeavors with baseball.
South Jordan City 4
Combined City Council &
Redevelopment Agency Meeting
May 21, 2024
Nancy Lowry and Diana Ziska (Residents) – We have been residents of South Jordan for 25
years. We just need to make sure that we are being heard about this parking lot that the city is
possibly going to grant Travis Ferran the conditional and temporary lease agreement for the 28
spot lot. I am not sure who knows, but we own part of that driveway. We did a real property
agreement back in 2017 with the city so part of that driveway is ours and we are strongly against
this parking lot. Our home is for sale, we are in the middle of an offer right now, but we still do
not want the parking lot there so I need to know that everybody is aware of this.
Mayor Ramsey closed the Public Comment portion of the meeting.

South Jordan City 6
Combined City Council &
Redevelopment Agency Meeting
May 21, 2024
H.3. Resolution R2024-29, Adopting a Final Budget; making appropriations for the
support of the City of South Jordan for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2024 and
ending June 30, 2025 and determining the rate of tax, and levying taxes upon all real
and personal property within South Jordan City, Utah and taxable by law for the year
2024. (By CFO, Sunil Naidu)
CFO Sunil Naidu reviewed background information from the Council Report and his prepared
presentation (Attachment C).
Mayor Ramsey opened the public hearing for comments; there were no comments and the
hearing was closed.
CFO Naidu and Council Member Shelton reviewed questions emailed to him prior to this
meeting from Council Member Shelton (Attachment B).
Council Member Shelton also had CFO Naidu explain why, even though the city is not raising
property taxes this year, that does not mean residents’ taxes will not go up in general this year.
CFO Naidu explained that the city is not the only entity setting a rate for taxes, any of the other
entities included in property taxes can raise their rate separately which would cause a higher
amount of taxes due. Taxes are also evaluated based on the property’s location and any specific
districts it might be located in, which can lead to properties in the city having different rates as
well. Property taxes are calculated in Utah with a very complex formula, but the amount the city
itself gets does not change if they choose not to raise taxes for the year.
Council Member Harris motioned to approve Resolution R2024-29, Adopting a Final
Budget for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2025. Council
Member Zander seconded the motion.

South Jordan City 9
Combined City Council &
Redevelopment Agency Meeting
May 21, 2024
Director Schaefermeyer reviewed background information from the Council Report.
Tammy Loertscher (Applicant’s daughter) – Confirmed everything has been turned into the
county, but they were told it takes time to get everything into the system.
Charles Bouck (Applicant) – Confirmed everything has been recorded and was given a map
with the new lot lines as recorded at the county. Mr. Bouck noted that he currently is zoned for
animals, and has animals on his property that he would like to be able to keep there. His nephew
claims he owns 15 feet of the lane, but they were involved in a court battle and Mr. Bouck owns
a prescriptive right-of-way on that whole lane. He has a copy of that as well if needed showing
they have two way traffic down that road, they can’t stop any of the traffic coming up and down
that lane.
Mayor Ramsey opened the Public Hearing for comments.
Terry Bouck (Resident) – I am the nephew. The prescriptive easement that he has is for him
only, it is for him and his guests, not for residents. She has a 15 foot right-of-way, I have the
other 22 feet of the dirt road so how are they going to access this, when it’s rezoned and he wants
to build more houses what is going to happen to the road because that will affect me quite a bit.
The court battle was quite expensive, and cost me and my father quite a bit of money and there is
a lot of dissention in the family. As of right now, them driving on my property is trespassing, so
they have a 15 foot right-of-way to get up and down the lane; my name is not on that and I don’t
have any say in that whatsoever. Charles has the prescriptive easement and no one else, not his
wife, not his kids, no one. Are the utilities down there big enough for the capacity of more
houses, will it need to be upgraded. I would like to be notified of future meetings by mail or
whatever because this will affect me, them traveling and coming down the lane.
Nola Kelly (Resident) – My question is, speaking about the lane, seeing as how it goes in back
of my house, is this going to be a dirt road continuously if this goes through or are we going to
pave it because that is going to put a lot of dust in my backyard.
Nathan Gedge (Resident) – I am the property directly north of this rezone and we are in favor
of it changing to R-2.5 as that mirrors our neighborhood and the existing homes around that.
Regarding the ordinance on page 378, it references a Jeff Domm, who is the architect, but not the
actual homeowner. I would suggest referencing Tammy Loertscher and Charles Bouck since that
is who will actually be occupying and building that property.
Mayor Ramsey closed the public hearing.
Council Member Harris asked about the issues with the lane width being discussed and what
they may need to talk about in the future regarding those issues.
Director Schaefermeyer noted this is currently a rezone, so they are not discussing the specific
issues with a house being built on the reconfigured parcel. In terms of access where it’s private,
the city generally tries to stay out of that. If city ordinances are needed, the appropriate permits
South Jordan City 10
Combined City Council &
Redevelopment Agency Meeting
May 21, 2024
are provided. However, if there is a dispute between neighbors that doesn’t involve a city road,
unfortunately that is between the property owners.
Council Member Zander asked if the owners of a private lane, in a rezone like this, are
responsible for paving the lane.
Director Schaefermeyer noted that if they came in to subdivide Parcel 1 in the future, the
development requirements would start to kick in related to infrastructure, potentially including
road improvements along a private or public lane. Since these are existing parcels, they are
allowed to rezone this as proposed with no changes to the lane. Regarding animal rights, since
this is an existing lot, if he can show he has had animals on the property that predate the
ordinance that would remove those rights, and wishes to continue keeping them there, that is
fine.
City Attorney Ryan Loose noted he will have to look at the minutes from the Planning
Commission meeting regarding what Assistant City Attorney Greg Simonsen might have said
about animal rights, but grandfathering usually comes into play when a change is made that was
not initiated by the property owner.
Mayor Ramsey invited the applicant up to discuss the animals he does have and whether he is
willing to continue with the rezone application at this time, knowing that staff still needs to
research whether the animal rights will remain.
Mr. Bouck currently has cows on the property, sometimes there are chickens and/or a pig. There
are currently two cows. There are no animals on the section being discussed for the rezone.
Director Schaefermeyer noted the application is currently for R-2.5, which matches the land
around them, but R-1.8 would allow a farm animal floating zone.
Attorney Loose noted the council has to consider the application before them, as changing the
application to have the larger parcel as R-1.8 during this meeting would not be appropriate. They
may be able to do R-1.8 on the bigger lot to keep those rights, but that is not what was presented
on the application being discussed tonight.
Council Member McGuire clarified that if they applied to make the larger lot R-1.8 they could
come back in the future and get it rezoned for other uses, it would just require repeating this
process.
Council Member Zander suggested tabling this while the applicants discussed their priorities in
terms of animal rights since the current application is for a zone that does not allow animal
rights.
Attorney Loose added that it appears this would not qualify as a preexisting nonconforming use
or being grandfathered in since they are changing the zone themselves. He needs to do some
research to give a definitive answer however.
South Jordan City 11
Combined City Council &
Redevelopment Agency Meeting
May 21, 2024
Staff, Council and the applicant discussed options. It was decided the best course of action was
to vote on the application for the R-2.5 before them tonight. If it turns out Mr. Bouck loses his
animal rights as a result of that, he can come back and apply for a rezone for his larger piece of
property to the R-1.8 zone to get those animal rights back since that piece qualifies.
Council Member Harris motioned to approve Zoning Ordinance 2024-06-Z, Rezoning
property. Council Member Johnson seconded the motion.

Good morning Sunil,
Here are a few questions and thoughts about the Proposed Budget. Hopefully, I’m not repeating
myself too much.
First, thank you so much for the modifications you and your team have made to the presentation.
I love the additional information included in the first part of the document. Very helpful.
• City Council Packet pg. 103: Big increase in Miscellaneous Revenue. What is the reason for the
increase?
The big increase in Miscellaneous Revenue is due to an increase in projected interest
earnings. Previously I had projected lower earnings thinking cash will be drawn down and
used to fund few major projects on hand. Due to the timing of these projects cash will
most likely be drawn down in the next fiscal year thus continuing to earn interest. Current
interest rate (PTIF) is at 5.45%.
• Council Packet pg. 146, Budget pg. 40: There is a problem with the graph.
Yes, the graph is now fixed.
• Council Packet pg. 165, Budget pg. 59: Why the big drop in Revenue?
CDBG is a reimbursable grant. Monies allocated toward capital projects in the last fiscal
year were not spent therefore was not reimbursed by HUD. Projects will be completed and
reimbursed in the current fiscal year.
• Council Packet pg. 250, Budget pg. 144: Do we expect interfacility transfer revenue to actually
drop or are you being conservative in your estimates?
A little bit of both. Since December of 2023, University of Utah changed the contractual
agreement with the City where the City will no longer bill U for the services provided. The
City is now billing patience directly. As a result, it’s highly likely the city will not collect
100% of the cost. Additionally, the City uses a billing company to administer ambulance
services, thereby incurring the additional cost.
• Council Packet pg. 259, Budget pg. 153: Can you explain the negative numbers.
The purpose of the chart is to highlight impact on operations (costs) due to approval of
capital projects. In other words, does the approved capital projects provide savings
(negative numbers) or adds to (positive) operational savings.
• Council Packet pg. 270, Budget pg. 164. What is the Mulligan's CIP Project?
o Mini Golf Lighting
o Mini Golf Restoration
o Mini Pergola
I know you have recently told me what the CIP is at Mulligans, but I can’t remember so I
appreciate the reminder.
Thanks so much,
Don
