PUBLIC COMMENTS John Sweeney introduced himself as part of the Keep West Valley performing group. For his allotted time, he planned to perform an ensemble number with a couple of colleagues to emphasize the group's message. He mentioned that it was his 20th anniversary and that he and his wife got engaged on the stage at West Valley performing arts many years ago. While the Mayor and Council considered plan options for the space, he wanted to highlight the investments adjacent cities were making in the arts. He noted that West Jordan, with a slightly smaller population than West Valley City at about 116,000 citizens, was investing 5.6 million dollars annually in the arts. Kate Rufener, a resident of West Valley City, shared that South Jordan perpetually spends 2.3 million dollars per year on arts and culture. She thanked the audience before concluding her remarks. Clayton Barney, a resident of West Valley living in the Westshire neighborhood, shared that Sandy City had an annual budget of 2.4 million dollars for their arts, allocated in perpetuity. He thanked the audience before concluding his remarks. Brandon Rufener, a proud resident of West Valley City in the Blue Haven neighborhood, thanked Mayor Lang for her time. He shared that Ogden City spent 2.3 million dollars on arts and culture in perpetuity. Clark Bullen, a Murray resident and friend of the arts, shared that he recently served on the Murray Arts Board and was currently on a committee for revitalizing and restoring historic downtown Murray. He stated that Murray was investing 11.1 million dollars to renovate the historic Murray Theater and spent 1.17 million dollars annually to fund the arts, with more than half allocated to the theater program and the rest to theater education. Murray has 49,463 residents. Bullen questioned why cities invest in the arts, emphasizing the economic impact and attractiveness to companies. He compared successful cities like New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, noting their vibrant arts communities and culture. He argued that Utah was ripe for entrepreneurial investment and that innovative, high- growth companies would choose cities with vibrant arts scenes. He posed rhetorical MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MAY 28, 2024 -3- questions about where companies and employees would prefer to domicile, highlighting West Valley City's potential advantages. Bullen also mentioned the upcoming Olympics in ten years and expressed hope that visitors would go to the world-renowned West Valley Performing Arts Center. He addressed the Council members, asking what their legacy would be, and emphasized that nonresidents also contribute to the local economy with their spending. He urged the Council to consider their long-term impact and to be remembered as champions of the arts who helped create a successful, renowned theater. Rob Fernandez, an actor, technician, and director, opposed the decision to close the West Valley Performing Arts Center. He cited a Greek proverb about legacy, emphasizing the importance of planting seeds for the future. He had been involved with the theater since before the pandemic and actively participated in its improvement. Fernandez witnessed the theater fill with a diverse audience unique to the city and state, and recalled the energetic, diverse crowds for shows like "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "In the Heights." He shared his experiences as a director, noting that his directorial debut occurred at West Valley, where many first-time actors found opportunities that led them to larger stages and national tours. He highlighted the theater's professional caliber, demonstrated by winning five Broadway World Awards for the play "Puffs." Fernandez argued that the theater positively impacted local businesses and the economy, citing a report that the nonprofit theater sector added over 2.8 billion dollars to the U.S. economy in 2019. He also referenced Dr. Michelle Sherman's assertion that theater benefits both actors and audiences by addressing mental health issues, challenging stereotypes, and providing hope. He concluded by urging the council to consider their legacy, asking them to save the theater and maintain its positive impact on the community rather than opting for short-term financial gains. Jill Caldwell, who lives near Hunter Library, shared her deep connection to West Valley City, where her father opened his law office and was active in the Chamber of Commerce and the Lions Club. After living elsewhere, she chose to return to West Valley to raise her young family in a community she loved for its diversity and unity. Caldwell expressed concern about the broader vision the Mayor and City Council had for the city, fearing that prioritizing short-term financial considerations could sacrifice the city's essence—its diversity, creativity, and sense of community. Reflecting on the implications of recent discussions about keeping taxes low, she worried about preserving the city's identity. She recounted negative perceptions and comments about West Valley, noting that her daughter, a recent Snow College graduate, claimed to be from West Jordan to avoid negative remarks. Even in Ephraim, Utah, people made disparaging comments about West Valley, with an Institute teacher expressing surprise that she "made it out alive." Caldwell warned that the choices of elected officials, which seemed to undermine what she loved MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MAY 28, 2024 -4- about the city, made her consider moving. She emphasized the need for attractions that keep residents engaged and spending locally, citing successful revitalization projects in nearby cities like South Salt Lake, Mill Creek, and Ogden, which preserved their unique qualities and fostered community through diversity and artistic expression. She questioned the legacy the Council wanted to leave, whether it would be on that prioritized high-density housing over community enrichment. Caldwell highlighted the heart and culture of West Valley, which she believed the theater exemplified. She urged the City Council to reconsider their decision and ensure that West Valley remained a place where diversity and the arts were valued as essential components of the community's identity. She thanked them for their time. Megan Gutierrez argued that the space was more than just a venue, but a vital part of the community that brought people together. She described herself as a small business owner, single mom, published author, patron of the arts, and chair of her daughter's School Community Council. While her position was not at the city level, she understood the emotional intensity of making decisions that impact the community. Gutierrez believed that elected officials should represent all constituents and consider the broader impact of their decisions. She emphasized teaching her daughter kindness and respect for the broader world, paralleling this with how decisions should consider wider impacts beyond the immediate area. As the founder of the Utah Theater Lovers, a group that saw hundreds of shows worldwide, she noted that cities globally were investing in the arts for economic growth and preserving shared humanity. Her group, with nearly 4,500 members, was one of the largest and most active on Meetup in Utah. They frequently visited shows, with her favorite recent local performance being "West Side Story" at the West Valley Arts Center. She planned to take her daughter to "Lightning Thief" and attend "Legally Blonde" with her group. Gutierrez highlighted the unique value of the venue and the connections it fostered between communities. She believed that the best solutions came from listening and exploring options together, emphasizing that the arts produced there drew people into the city and celebrated shared humanity. She urged the Council to consider what they could do to keep people like her and her group engaged locally, aligning this with the goal of public service to improve communities. She concluded by thanking the Council for their time. Walt Sorenson, a lifelong resident of West Valley City, an engineer, and an artist who has served as an artist delegate to the sister city in Taiwan, expressed his strong opposition to the idea that the Utah Cultural Celebration Center could replace the current performing arts center. Sorenson shared his personal experiences at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center, describing its indoor stage as small, two- dimensional, and reminiscent of an elementary school performance space. He noted MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MAY 28, 2024 -5- that the flat, single-level seating obstructs views and the acoustics are poor, with many echoes that diminish the sound quality and make it difficult to hear performances. Sorenson argued that the center tries to be a multi-purpose venue but fails to excel as a theater space. In contrast, Sorenson praised the current performing arts center for its theater-in-the-round design, which, despite seating over 500 people, maintains an intimate atmosphere. He emphasized that moving performances to the Cultural Celebration Center would degrade the experience for both patrons and performers, reducing it to an elementary school level. Sorenson stressed the importance of having strong, quality entertainment anchors like the performing arts center to maintain and build economic value within the city. He highlighted the potential economic impact, noting that with up to 270,000 visitors each year, the theater generates significant revenue. Economic impact studies suggest that each patron spends about $50 on food and beverages alone, not accounting for auxiliary economic benefits. Sorenson concluded by emphasizing that the decision should not overlook the broader economic impacts of maintaining the existing theater, urging the council to consider the substantial value it brings to the community. Mike Markham, a long-time resident of West Valley City, expressed his opposition to funding the rebuilding of the theater through a property tax increase. Despite supporting previous property tax increases for various city services, Markham drew a line at funding the theater's reconstruction. He acknowledged the potential profitability and benefits of the theater to the city but suggested that the arts community should take responsibility for purchasing and maintaining the building. Markham referenced a previous instance involving the Hale Center, where Sandy offered a better deal, leading to the center's departure from West Valley City. Markham admitted that he personally preferred outdoor activities like monster trucks and desert races over indoor cultural events. He expressed frustration with a fellow attendee who disrupted the meeting with loud clapping, suggesting that such behavior soured his opinion on supporting the theater. Overall, Markham's remarks reflected skepticism about funding the theater's reconstruction through property taxes and a preference for outdoor activities over indoor cultural events. Jana Cox shared her deeply personal connection to West Valley City and the performing arts center. She emphasized that her decision to move to West Valley City over other nearby areas was influenced by the city's commitment to the arts, particularly highlighted by her memorable experience at the Hale Center Theater. Recalling a pivotal moment in her life, Cox explained how attending a show at the theater solidified her decision to make West Valley City her home. She also recounted the significance of the venue in her last conversation with her father before he passed away, further illustrating the emotional ties she has to the performing arts center. Cox stressed that the West Valley performing Arts Center MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MAY 28, 2024 -6- is not just a building but a home for numerous artists, directors, designers, and patrons. She attested to the quality of performances at the center, noting that they rival professional productions with equity actors. Additionally, Cox acknowledged the Utah Cultural Celebration Center but concurred with a previous speaker, Mr. Sorensen, that its stage resembled an elementary school stage and was not suitable for the caliber of performances seen at the West Valley performing Arts Center. In conclusion, Cox urged the city council to reconsider their decision and emphasized the importance of valuing the arts in the community. Cameron Robbins, a performer who moved from Fresno, California, to Utah specifically to work at the West Valley Performing Arts Center, highlighted the significance of the theater as a place of employment and cultural enrichment for the community. Robbins emphasized that the theater provides essential jobs for technicians, designers, actors, producers, and various artists. The competitive and affordable ticket prices make high-quality productions accessible to people of low income, including himself. He stressed that this accessibility is invaluable, especially in a state where other semi-professional theaters often have ticket prices that are unaffordable for many. Furthermore, Robbins pointed out that the West Valley Performing Arts Center offers seminars and workshops in addition to performances, making it a place of education as well as entertainment. Expressing concern, Robbins noted that some councilmembers may have decided to close the theater without ever attending a production from the current season. He emphasized the importance of understanding the services provided by the theater before making any drastic decisions. Robbins also mentioned the complimentary tickets that performers and technicians receive during shows, usually given to friends and family. However, with uncertainty about the theater's future, he questioned the usefulness of these tickets if he were to lose his job. In conclusion, Robbins invited councilmembers to attend shows using his complimentary tickets and encouraged them to assess the theater's resources and safety firsthand before making any decisions about its future. Anthony Lovato stated that the West Valley Performing Arts Center holds deep personal significance for him, both as a performer and as a member of the community. He highlights the importance of the theater as a space for artistic expression and growth, where performers have the opportunity to explore edgy pieces and try new roles that might not be available elsewhere in the area. Lovato emphasizes the value of the theater in contributing to the cultural landscape of West Valley City and the wider community. Lance Chapman emphasized the importance of raising awareness about the West Valley Performing Arts Center and its significance to the community. He drew a comparison to Centerpoint Legacy Theater in Centerville, highlighting its  MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MAY 28, 2024 -7- financials to underscore the potential for success even in smaller cities. Chapman urged everyone to spread the word about the theater's existence, noting that many people may not be aware that it is open for performances. He shared a personal connection to the theater, mentioning childhood memories of visiting the old Hale Center Theater building and how it influenced his decision to live in West Valley. Overall, his message underscores the importance of community engagement and support for the performing arts center. B. CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Jake Fitisemanu began by expressing gratitude to the community for their passionate engagement, acknowledging the diversity of opinions and proposed solutions. He shared his personal experience with the theater, noting that his family is deeply involved in the theater community, particularly his daughter, who is a theater enthusiast attending a performing arts school. Despite facing blowback from friends and family due to his position on the Council, Councilman Fitisemanu defended the decision, emphasizing that it was not about demolishing the theater but rather stopping a financial drain. He assured the audience that he is excited about the prospects and options ahead, expressing confidence that they will be pleased with the outcome. Recess began at 7:06 PM Recess concluded and meeting resumed at 7:11 PM. PUBLIC HEARINGS A. ACCEPT PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING APPLICATION Z-3-2024, FILED BY WEST VALLEY CITY, REQUESTING A ZONE CHANGE FROM A (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE ½ ACRE) TO R-1-10 (SINGLE UNIT DWELLING RESIDENTIAL, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 10,000 SQUARE FEET) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3575 SOUTH 5200 WEST Mayor Lang informed a public hearing had been advertised for the Regular Council Meeting scheduled May 28, 2024, in order for the City Council to hear and consider public comments regarding Application Z-3-2024, Filed by West Valley City, Requesting a Zone Change from A (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size ½ Acre) to R-1- 10 (Single Unit Dwelling Residential, Minimum Lot Size 10,000 Square Feet) for Property Located at 3575 South 5200 West Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: City staff is requesting a zone change on 0.38 acres of a 0.93-acre parcel at 3575 South 5200 West from A (Agriculture, minimum lot size ½ acre) to MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MAY 28, 2024 -8- R-1-10 (Single Unit Dwelling Residential, minimum lot size 10,000 square feet). Surrounding zones include A to the north and south, R-1-8 (Single Unit Dwelling Residential, minimum lot size 8,000 square feet) to the west and RM (Multiple Unit Dwelling Residential) to the east. The property is surrounded by single unit dwellings to the north and a portion of west, duplexes to the south and the remaining west portion, and the soon to be Kiowa Court Subdivision of single unit dwellings to the east. The subject property is designated as Low Density Residential (3 to 4 units/acre) in the General Plan. The City recently rezoned roughly the east half of the subject parcel to RM last year to facilitate the Kiowa Court Subdivision. The subject parcel is currently 0.93 acres; however, once the Kiowa Court Subdivision is recorded, the remaining portion of the subject parcel will be 0.38 acres, which is below the required ½ acre required in the A zone. By approving this zone change, the remaining 0.38-acre parcel will comply with the area requirements of the R-1-10 zone. Mayor Lang opened the Public Hearing. There being no one to speak in favor or opposition, Mayor Lang closed the Public Hearing. ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 24-19, AMEND THE ZONING MAP TO SHOW A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3575 SOUTH 5200 WEST FROM A (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE ½ ACRE) TO R-1- 10 (SINGLE UNIT DWELLING RESIDENTIAL, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 10,000 SQUARE FEET) The City Council previously held a public hearing regarding proposed Ordinance 24-19 that would amend the Zoning Map to Show a Change of Zone for Property Located at 3575 South 5200 West from A (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size ½ Acre) to R-1-10 (Single Unit Dwelling Residential, Minimum Lot Size 10,000 Square Feet).

RESOLUTION 24-82: APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE WIRELESS FRANCHISE PERMIT AGREEMENT BETWEEN WEST VALLEY CITY AND T- MOBILE WEST LLC Mayor Lang discussed proposed Resolution 24-82 that would approve an Amendment to the Wireless Franchise Permit Agreement Between West Valley City and T-Mobile West LLC. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: In 2000, the City entered into a Wireless Franchise Permit Agreement with the predecessor in interest to T-Mobile West LLC. This agreement expires in 2025. T-Mobile requested an extension of five years and two five year options. As provided in the original agreement, the annual lease payment increases 20% per term. The payment would increase to $20,902 per year during the first term. If the two options are exercised by T-Mobile, the payment during those terms would increase to $25,082/year and $30,099/year respectively. These rates are competitive with similar sites along the Wasatch Front. The existing site is within the right of way but well away from the asphalt and is unlikely to impede any required maintenance on the road.
