Mr. Masarone and Mr. Martinez were given recognition to Councilmember Lang by a resident. The award reads as follows: “This is to compliment two of your very capable city employees. Awhile back a new streetlight was installed by my house and it was just way too bright. One morning a truck pulled up and the employee, his name is Levi, was here to pour a concrete base for the new light. I met him and asked about the brightness. He told me it would be no problem to adjust, he would ask his partner to stop by with the bucket truck so he could reach the light. A short time later the other truck showed up. I met Brian, another very nice guy. He made the adjustment, gave me his card and told me to call anytime if they could help. Next morning Levi came by to remove the collar from the concrete he poured and he checked to see if I was satisfied. He said that Brian had come by early to see how it looked. We settled on turning it down one more click. I felt like they really care about those of us in West Valley City. Great guys, both of them.” COMMENT PERIOD A.

John Cross stated that he better understands the process after Jim’s presentation and indicated that he is appreciative of the City’s effort. Craig Baker asked who determines property valuations. Jim replied that property valuations are decided by Salt Lake County and the City has no input. He indicated that a large increase in property tax could mean that a resident is recouping someone else’s valuations that were mistakenly lower in previous years. Councilmember Huynh stated that residents can make an appeal regarding their property valuation to the County after making a comparison with neighboring residences. Councilmember Christensen stated that Granite School District didn’t raise taxes this year but valuations fluctuate which can cause an increase in taxes paid.

Shaun Black stated that he has two properties in the City and the property tax increased significantly on one of them. He indicated that he was confused about the difference and thanked Jim for the explanation. Mr. Black stated that he feels a stop sign may help speed issues on Halton Lane. John (last name unknown) stated that he is concerned about neighbors that rent out their home to multiple families. He indicated that he fears these residents pay less taxes and he feels this is unfair. Joe George stated that the economy didn’t dictate taxes historically. He also expressed concern about Salt Lake County overseeing property valuation and not the City. Mr. George asked how many dollars an average homeowner pays per thousand dollars. Jim replied approximately $4.10. Mr. George stated that the State of Utah operates property tax very differently than Massachusetts. Mayor Pro-Tem Buhler closed the Public Hearing.

The City has been working with ET Technologies, the Salt Lake Valley Landfill, and the landfill owners, Salt Lake County and City. All are questioning whether the SRS is the source of these odors.
