AWARDS, CEREMONIES AND PROCLAMATIONS
A. EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH AWARD, JULY 2019- BRYAN
HAYWOOD, POLICE DEPARTMENT
Councilmember Huynh read the nomination of Bryan Haywood, Police
Department, to receive Employee of the Month Award for July 2019. The award
reads as follows:
Detective Bryan Haywood performed exemplary work on
two cases that spanned the months of April and May of this year.
On April 7, 2019, 15 Officers from three (3) different agencies
were involved in a Critical Incident in South Salt Lake. As part of
the Protocol Agreement, West Valley City was tasked with this
investigation which was led by Detective Bryan Haywood. Generally,
these cases are time consuming and very tasking for the investigating
agencies. This case was unique and very dynamic and is believed to be the
largest, most complex Protocol Investigation to have occurred under new
State Law. In addition to the 15 Involved Officers, there were an additional
17 Officers that were witnesses.
Just weeks later on May 7, 2019 Detective Haywood volunteered to take a
child death case in which our victim was four months old at the time of her
death. Detective Haywood worked tirelessly on this case and stayed in
constant communication with the family of our victim. He was able to gain
a confession from our suspect and prepare an excellent case for
prosecution for the District Attorney’s Office who ultimately filed
first degree felony charges.
Either case would be a daunting task for one Detective to investigate;
Detective Haywood took both cases and gave a 110% commitment to each.
Detective Haywood went above and beyond on both cases and exhibited the
highest levels of professionalism. Detective Haywood was able to provide
total customer service to the victim’s family, while balancing the pressures
and demands of the Critical Incident case. We are proud of the example he
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – JULY 9, 2019

has set for the West Valley City Police Department and appreciate the work
and dedication he provides to the City and its residents.
B. DIVISION OF THE QUARTER AWARD- ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT,
COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Councilmember Christensen read the nomination of Economic Development to
receive Division of the Quarter Award. The award reads as follows:
The Economic Development Division of the Community and Economic
Development Department is the division that puts "gas" in the engine of the
City. Anyone who enters the City from any gateway (1-15, I-215, 7200,
201, Redwood, 5600) will see the evidence of the amazing work of this
Division. Literally every corner of the City is being developed or
redeveloped in a huge way due to their excellent efforts. Many people do
not understand the significant impact an exceptional Economic
Development Team can have on City.
This small division is responsible for millions of dollars of increased
revenue, thousands of new and maintained jobs, and helping to make the
City a great place to live, work and play. This work is difficult and takes a
long time, a single project may take years to develop and secure and that for
every project that comes to fruition there are at least 10 that did not work.
The Economic Development Division of our City works at the highest
levels to secure all types of business and to ensure that the businesses we
have stay and thrive. This job requires a unique skill set and a willingness
to work tirelessly doing whatever it takes to create success. If you have ever
had the chance to talk to someone not familiar with the City or who is
visiting after having not been in the city in a while you will hear a common
refrain. "Wow, I had no idea about all of the amazing things happening in
your City." This phrase is music to the Economic Development office.
The ongoing success of this Division is also due in large part to the many
hands throughout the City that come together to make a particular project
work and to the consistent direction and support of the City Manager and
City Council. It is a team effort and something we can all take great pride
in being part of.
At this time, when so many of these projects are being completed, the
Economic Development Division truly deserves the Division of the Quarter
Award. The Economic Development Division is the epitome of total
customer service. Each member of this team is available to its customers

day or night. Many evenings and weekends are spent working on projects
and with prospective projects. This team works tirelessly to make sure
developments are completed and issues are resolved.
COMMENT PERIOD
A. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Marty Snyder stated that he feels he has been treated unjustly by the Code
Enforcement Office and that the City has stolen and removed private property from
his residence. Mr. Snyder indicated that he is asking for a continuance on his case
while he seeks Legal counsel and added that his court hearing was not recorded.
Scott (chose not to provide a name or address) stated that the Code Enforcement
Department took his plywood which he intended to use for a handicap ramp. He
indicated that he isn’t paying taxpayer money for Police Officers to be paid $50 an
hour at a second job where they take property from his yard. He indicated West
Valley City will pay.
Dave Turkekson stated that he knows several people who have had items of
property unjustly taken by the Code Enforcement Department and he wants
everyone to know about it.
Bruce Baker stated he has always lived in West Valley City. He indicated that he
worked with Ed, the previous Building Official, to correct a Building violation on
his property. He indicated that he has since worked with Troy in Building
Inspections to correct further violations and has had good experiences in getting
issues resolved. Mr. Baker stated that he has had extreme difficulty in working with
the Code Enforcement Department and isn’t clear on what he needs to do to get his
violations taken care of. He indicated that he has complied as quickly as he can but
hasn’t been able to get everything done and the process is moving too fast.
Timothy Olschewski stated that Salt Lake City recently passed an accessory
dwelling unit ordinance. He indicated that West Valley City took up a similar
ordinance, 16-33, but it was continued and there have been no further
conversations. He encouraged the Council to talk about this issue further.
Ralph Vernor stated that RV owners should be able to unload and load trailers for
as long as they need. He indicated that according to Section 22-2-116, residents
only have 3 minutes to do this before they can be ticketed. Mr. Vernor stated that
he received a citation for this on June 27 and he would request that the Council look
into this matter further. He added that he appealed his citation and won but the Code
should be modified to avoid further issues.

Shane McGarvey stated that he represents the Roxborough HOA. He indicated that
his neighborhood experiences multiple issues with homeowners who don’t follow
West Valley City regulations or CCR’s put into place by the HOA. Mr. McGarvey
stated that he is asking for assistance from the City and would ask that Code
Enforcement enforce in his neighborhood. He indicated that residents of HOA’s
pay taxes and homeowners should receive the same treatment as other residents.
Mr. McGarvey stated that the HOA has difficulty enforcing laws on their own
neighbors, collecting fees, etc. He added that their neighborhood park is the only
one in the area and the City performs no maintenance and offers no funds to help
keep it clean.
Mike Markham thanked the City for looking into possibly installing electrical
power units for food trucks at Fairbourne Station. He indicated that he had no idea
it would cost that much to retro fit what is already in place and stated that he hopes
the City will consider things like this on future projects moving forward. Mr.
Markham stated that he is thankful to see a parking ordinance on the agenda and is
in full support of it being passed. He added that he also supports Code Enforcement
efforts and stated that it’s important to make the City a livable, walkable City and
he is thankful for all the work the City has done.
Melissa Mongrove stated that she is the Chairman of the Heritage Neighborhood
Watch. She indicated that there is a home in her neighborhood, 3826 Atlas Way
that has been an extreme problem for years with issues including prostitution,
drugs, homeless, etc. Ms. Mongrove stated that she has complained to the City
multiple times but there has been no resolution. She indicated that her children
cannot play outside and she feels very let down that the City won’t work to help fix
this issue. Ms. Mongrove indicated that people in her neighborhood rent out homes
to multiple families with too many cars and there is a lack of enforcement. She
stated that people from the east side don’t want to come to West Valley City
because of these negative aspects.
Leslie Robinson indicated that she received a citation for a truck and trailer in front
of her home. She indicated that she took 35 pictures of other people in her
neighborhood doing the same thing and she feels frustrated and targeted.
Ben Barlow indicated that he was cited by Code Enforcement for landscaping
issues. He indicated that he is working to get the issue resolved and can get it done
in 2 weeks but the Code Enforcement officer is not working with him, won’t return
his calls, and is issuing him fines. Mr. Barlow also stated that he received a parking
citation and cannot get anyone to speak with. He stated that his only solution is to
handle the ticket online.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION ZT-6-2019,
FILED BY WEST VALLEY CITY, REQUESTING A ZONE TEXT
CHANGE TO AMEND SECTION 7-2-118 TO ALLOW AN EXCEPTION
TO THE ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENT FOR REFUSE STORAGE
CONTAINERS WITHIN THE 'M' (MANUFACTURING) ZONE UNDER
CERTAIN CONDITIONS
Mayor Bigelow informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular
Council Meeting scheduled July 9, 2019, in order for the City Council to hear and
consider public comments regarding application ZT-6-2019, filed by West Valley
City, requesting a Zone Text Change to amend Section 7-2-118 to allow an
exception to the enclosure requirement for refuse storage containers within the 'M'
(Manufacturing) Zone under certain conditions.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
In May of last year, the City Council added the following requirement to
the zoning ordinance for enclosures to refuse storage containers or
dumpsters: “Where an enclosure was not originally required on a
developed lot, an enclosure shall be installed upon the issuance of a new
business license on the developed lot.” As staff has enforced this
provision, we have noticed situations where refuse storage container
enclosures may not be warranted.
To address these situations, staff prepared the attached proposed ordinance
revision that, in summary, states that refuse storage container enclosures
should not be required for properties within the M (Manufacturing) zone
when the following conditions are met:
1. The refuse storage containers shall not be visible from the Street or
the refuse storage containers shall be located in a loading dock area
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – JULY 9, 2019

that is screened by a 6’ tall masonry wall,
2. The refuse storage container is located behind a building or within
a yard that is completely screened with a 6’ tall, masonry wall.
3. The refuse storage container is not located within a customer
parking area.
4. The dumpster is not located along any side of a building with
customer entrance.

19-18 that would amend Section 7-2-118 of the West Valley City Municipal Code
to amend regulations governing refuse storage containers.
Upon inquiry by Mayor Bigelow there were no further questions from members of
the City Council, and he called for a motion.

Valley City Municipal Code to clarify streetscape lighting standards for Redwood
Road.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included

Redwood Road streetscape design.
Mayor Bigelow opened the Public Hearing. There being no one to speak in favor

ORDINANCE 19-20: AMEND CHAPTER 22 OF THE WEST VALLEY CITY
MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROHIBIT PARKING OF UNINSURED AND
UNREGISTERED VEHICLES ON CITY STREETS, PROHIBIT PARKING ON A
BIKE LANE OR PEDESTRIAN TRAIL, ALLOW FOR THE USE OF AN
IMMOBILIZATION DEVICE ON NUISANCE VEHICLES, AND CREATE AN
ELECTRONIC PAYMENT AND APPEAL SYSTEM
Mayor Bigelow discussed proposed Ordinance 19-20 that would amend Chapter 22 of the
West Valley City Municipal Code to prohibit parking of uninsured and unregistered
vehicles on City streets, prohibit parking on a bike lane or pedestrian trail, allow for the
use of an immobilization device on nuisance vehicles, and create an electronic payment
and appeal system.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
If approved, this ordinance will enact two new sections and amend nine others.
Proposed Sections 22-2-105 and 22-2-106 will make it unlawful to park an
unregistered or uninsured vehicle on a public highway, street, alley, park strip, or
parking lot.
The substantive amendments to Chapter 22-2 make it possible to cite unregistered
owners, make it unlawful to park on a bike lane or a pedestrian trail, clarify when
a trailer can be parked on the street, and clarify the term “parking lot.”
The procedural amendments to Chapter 22-2 give the City the ability to place an
immobilization device on nuisance vehicles in lieu of towing, facilitate the
electronic issuance and collection of parking ticket fines, and raise the total fine
for a parking ticket from $125 to $128 to allow for the administrative processing
fee.
Over the last six months, the Legal Department and the Police Department have
seen the need to amend the parking ordinances to compensate for the volume of
tickets and have identified several code sections that need to be clarified for the
benefit of the citizenry.
Councilmember Buhler noted that the Council has had discussion last week, tonight in
Study Meeting, as well as tonight in Public Comment. He indicated that unloading and
loading RV’s will be discussed in greater detail next week.
MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING – JULY 9, 2019

Councilmember Buhler moved to approve Ordinance 19-20.
Councilmember Christensen seconded the motion.
Councilmember Lang indicated that she brought the issue up in Study Meeting and staff
reassured her that tickets were not being issued for RV’s loading and unloading. She
indicated that it was mentioned in public comment that this was not the case and she is
uncomfortable approving this ordinance as it is written. Councilmember Lang added that
she would like residents to have the ability to speak with a live person, appeal somewhere
that is not only online, and pay somewhere not only online as well. Councilmember
Fitisemanu agreed that there may be some issues that still need to be worked out. Wayne
indicated that there have always been ordinances against various parking scenarios and this
is a clean-up of ones that have been confusing for the public and for the parking compliance
officers. He stated that this ordinance will likely have many modifications and will come
before the Council many times to continue to find ways to make it more clear and defined.
Ryan Robinson, Acting City Attorney, clarified various aspects of the ordinance.
Councilmember Lang stated that she doesn’t see an issue with continuing the ordinance for
a few weeks to resolve some of these concerns now. I don’t see an issue to move it back a
week or two. Lets move it back one week or another. Councilmember Buhler stated that he
doesn’t have a concern with the changes being proposed and added that staff could come
back with more clarifications after this is approved.
Upon inquiry by Mayor Bigelow there were no further questions from members of the City
Council, and he called for a motion.

bounds descriptions. However, in this case, the developer is requesting a formal
subdivision because of various easements needed for the division of property and
the formal identification of existing recorded easements.
