RESOLUTION 25-02: AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO A PUBLIC WAY LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY, THE UTAH TRANSIT AUTHORITY, AND THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING AUTHORITY OF WEST VALLEY CITY Chairperson Huynh presented proposed resolution 25-02 that would authorize the Execution of an Amendment to a Public Way Lease Agreement Between the City, the Utah Transit Authority, and the Municipal Building Authority of West Valley City Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: West Valley City executed a Public Way Lease Agreement with UTA on June 13, 2023 (Resolution 23-82). UTA is building the Midvalley Connector BRT that will connect Murray Central Frontrunner/Trax Station to the SLCC Redwood Campus and West Valley Central Station at the bus hub near City Hall. The lease agreement provided UTA with the right to operate and construct the BRT in the City and defined the roles with respect to design and construction, and operation and maintenance. Under the agreement the City agreed to lease to UTA property defined in the agreement, including a portion of the former America First Credit Union parking lot, and City Hall parking lot for the expansion of the existing bus hub. The City also leased portions of City streets whereon UTA Facilities will be built at and in between bus stations. MINUTES OF THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING AUTHORITY REGULAR MEETING – APRIL 8, 2025 -4- The value of the leased property and roadway areas were determined by appraisals. The City donated the leased property to UTA as an in-kind contribution to the project. The agreement showed a total value of the leased property at $510,000. This was an error. The value of the leased portion of the former America First Credit Union property and City Hall parking lot was determined by appraisal to be $510,000, and the value of the leased portion of the public right-of-way was determined by appraisal to be $95,000. The agreement modification amends the total value of the leased property to be $605,000. While this amendment does not cost the City any additional funds, it enables UTA to count the full appraised value of the leased property as a contribution to the project in their project accounting. A portion of the leased property is owned by West Valley City, and a small portion is owned by the Municipal Building Authority of West Valley City. Upon inquiry by Chairperson Huynh there were no further questions from members of the City Council, and he called for a motion. Mr. Whetstone moved to approve Resolution 25-02 Ms. Wood seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken: Ms. Wood Yes Mr. Whetstone Yes Mr. Harmon Yes Ms. Lang Yes Mr. Christensen Yes Mr. Nordfelt Yes Chairperson Huynh Yes Unanimous.
