Highlighting the inclusive nature of the arts, she emphasizes their role in fostering community, understanding, empathy, and social justice. Lena urges decision-makers to empathize with those fighting to preserve these cultural spaces, which are vital for future generations and the community's well-being. Charlie Vasquez, a creative writing major at Weber State, shares his personal experience of discovering himself and others like him through arts such as literature, movies, and shows. He emphasizes the importance of having outlets for self-expression and the sadness he feels when artistic resources are removed or reduced. Charlie urges consideration of the impact these decisions have on communities, highlighting the necessity for people to express themselves and find like-minded individuals. Bryce Isaacson, an incoming professor at BYU and editor of Utah's largest arts review organization, addresses the closure of the West Valley Performing Arts Center. He stresses the economic benefits the arts bring to local businesses and communities, recommending an economic impact study before closure. Isaacson suggests exploring partnerships, similar to the Taylorsville model, to refurbish or replace the center. He offers his expertise to help grow the arts in West Valley, emphasizing the long-term benefits of preserving and expanding cultural venues. Anna Kaitlin congratulates West Valley City and West Valley Arts on winning seven Theater awards in 2023.

C. CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Tom Huynh referred to the significant costs associated with maintenance, citing figures from 2021 to 2024, which indicated a substantial financial burden on the city. He mentioned a prepared document estimating a total cost of $7.6 million for necessary repairs. Councilmember Huynh acknowledged the input of the twelve individuals who had spoken, noting that six were from West Valley City and six were not. He highlighted the responsibility of the council to represent the interests of all 145,000 residents of the city. Councilmember Huynh recounted the public outcry following a previous property tax increase, emphasizing a reluctance to impose such a burden on taxpayers again. He stressed the importance of finding a balanced solution that addresses the needs of the community without resorting to significant tax hikes. Councilmember Huynh concluded by sharing this perspective with the council and the audience, posing the question of whether another 17% property tax increase was warranted to fund the necessary repairs. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to share these considerations. Councilmember Christensen moved for a 10-minute recess. Councilmember Huynh seconded the motion. A voice vote was taken and all members voted in favor of the motion. Meeting paused- 7:18 PM Meeting resumed- 7:29 PM PUBLIC HEARINGS A. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION ZT-3-2024, FILED BY WEST VALLEY CITY, REQUESTING A ZONE TEXT CHANGE TO DEFINE THE TERM MASONRY WALL, REQUIRE A CERTAIN TYPE OF MASONRY WALL FOR DOUBLE FRONTAGE LOTS ALONG ARTERIAL STREETS, AND UPDATE THE STANDARDS ON EXTERIOR BUILDING MATERIALS Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council Meeting scheduled May 14, 2024, in order for the City Council to hear and consider public comments regarding Application ZT-3-2024, Filed by West Valley City, Requesting a Zone Text Change to Define the Term Masonry Wall, Require a Certain MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MAY 14, 2024 -6- Type of Masonry Wall for Double Frontage Lots Along Arterial Streets, and Update the Standards on Exterior Building Materials. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Throughout the City’s zoning ordinance, there are many references to masonry walls. Staff has seen recent examples of walls made to look like masonry walls but are actually fiberglass, foam, or some other product that isn’t concrete, brick, or stone. For ordinance clarity as well as wall durability and aesthetics, staff is proposing a masonry wall definition. For many years, the City’s subdivision ordinance has required masonry walls for double frontage lots along arterial streets. Since no specific masonry wall type or color was specified, a variety of walls have been installed. However, in recent years, the City has installed the same patterned and colored, precast concrete wall along along 2700 West, 4100 South, and 4700 South. For consistency, staff is proposing that the same wall type be used for all subdivisions with double frontage lots along arterial streets. The City recently amended the exterior building materials standards in the 5600 West Overlay Zone (Ordinance 23-40). While reviewing this change, the Council asked staff to see if other updates to the City’s exterior building materials standards were warranted. The proposed changes to exterior building materials use consistent terms across different code sections, expand what is considered masonry on commercial buildings, allow additional materials in the City Center zone that have been allowed in that zone by development agreement. Mayor Lang opened the Public Hearing. There being no one to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Lang closed the Public Hearing.

This project will include construction of storm drain piping through portions of the former Brighton Canal and eliminate any open storm water ditches through the project area. Decker Lake Business Park was developed prior to the incorporation of West Valley City. Storm water was historically allowed to drain into two ditches on either side of the Brighton Canal. This existing system does not function very well and has caused ongoing maintenance and flooding problems. The Brighton Canal no longer operates in this area and has largely been abandoned, which now provides the opportunity to consolidate and pipe the storm water into one system.
