APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING HELD DECEMBER 10, 2024 The Council considered the Minutes of the Regular Meeting held December 10, 2024. There were no changes, corrections or deletions. Councilmember Whetstone moved to approve the Minutes of the Regular Meeting held December 10, 2024. Councilmember Huynh seconded the motion. A voice vote was taken and all members voted in favor of the motion. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD Jim Vesock gave special recognition to Vicki Jeppson, who retired after over 25 years with the police department, highlighting her contributions as a visible and dedicated city representative at events like National Night Out. He also discussed the city's budget, praising Jim and his team for presenting clear and accessible information. Mr.Vesock suggested adding brief explanations for terms like CIP and other funds to improve public understanding. He supported planned expenditures, such as the purchase of fire trucks, and noted he had no significant issues with the current budget proposal. Barry Gittleman, President of Hamlet Homes, addressed the council regarding the Weston Field development project at 4100 South and 6800 West. He highlighted the project's success, including its first phase of development, the model home’s participation in the 2024 Salt Lake County Parade of Homes, and the positive reception it received. Mr. Gittleman stated he would like to update the 2021 development agreement, which he noted was created under different economic and housing market conditions. He stated that while the overall project plan remains unchanged—58 large, high-quality homes—he proposed adjustments to make the homes more affordable, ranging from $700,000 to over $1 million, without compromising quality or lot size. He emphasized aligning with the city’s values of unity, pride, and progress, expressing a willingness to collaborate on changes that benefit West Valley City while maintaining the integrity of the development. Mike Markham began by addressing attendance, noting the absence of some council members and urging stronger participation. He highlighted a logistical issue with receiving a notice in his utility billing regarding Christmas tree disposal after the deadline had passed. He also reported offensive graffiti at the northwest corner of 4100 South and Redwood Road, near the CVS. Mr. Markham encouraged the council to revisit discussions from the January 2024 meeting concerning code enforcement. Specifically, he pointed out inconsistencies, such as allowing vine-like weeds with damaging stickers while enforcing height limits for other weeds. MINUTES OF COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 14, 2025 -3- Paul Sellers shared his frustration after receiving a citation for parking his trailer in front of his home for repairs, which he asserts only lasted 35 hours, exceeding the 24-hour limit stated in city ordinances. He argued that it is unreasonable for someone in his health and age to complete necessary trailer repairs and winterization within 24 hours, especially given the lack of daylight hours. Mr. Sellers pointed out contradictions between city codes: one allows 72 hours for parking, while another restricts recreational vehicle parking to 24 hours unless it is related to property repairs, which can take up to seven days. Mr. Sellers highlighted inefficiencies in parking enforcement, claiming that officers rely on complaints and may issue citations without verifying parking durations. He proposed amending the ordinance to allow extended parking for specific situations, such as repairs, suggesting a system where residents could request parking extensions through the city website and display an approval voucher. He called for greater flexibility and common sense in addressing parking regulations. PUBLIC HEARINGS A.
