Proposed Ordinance 18-34 and Resolution 18-168 related to the proposal to be considered by the City Council subsequent to the public hearing, were discussed as follows: ACTION: ORDINANCE NO. 18-34, AMEND THE ZONING MAP TO SHOW A CHANGE OF ZONE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3764 SOUTH 6400 WEST FROM 'A' (AGRICULTURE, MINIMUM LOT SIZE 1/2 ACRE) TO 'RE' (RESIDENTIAL ESTATE) Steve Pastorik, CED, discussed proposed Ordinance 18-34 that would amend the zoning map to show a change of zone for property located at 3764 South 6400 West from 'A' (Agriculture, Minimum Lot Size 1/2 Acre) to 'RE' (Residential Estate). Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Ken Milne with Arcadia Property Holdings LLC has requested a zone change on two parcels totaling 5.43 acres at 3764 South 6400 West from A (agriculture, minimum lot size of ½ acre) to RE (residential estate). Surrounding zones include RE to the north, R-1-10 (single family residential, minimum lot size 10,000 sq. ft.) to the west, R-1-8 (single family residential, minimum lot size 8,000 sq. ft.) to the south and A and R-1-8 to MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 -4- the east. The property is surrounded by a developing subdivision to the north, single family homes to the west and south and a church and single- family homes to the east. The subject property is designated as large lot residential, which anticipates 2 to 3 units/acre, in the West Valley City General Plan. The applicant has submitted a concept plan, which is attached, that shows the subject property being subdivided into 12 lots yielding a density of 2.2 units/acre. Also included is a letter from the applicant supporting this application. ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. 18-168, AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH ARCADIA PROPERTIES, LLC FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 3764 SOUTH 6400 WEST Steve Pastorik, CED, discussed proposed Resolution 18-168 that would authorize the execution of an amendment to the Development Agreement with Arcadia Properties, LLC for property located at approximately 3764 South 6400 West. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: Ken Milne with Arcadia Properties, LLC has submitted a rezone application (Z-10-2018) to change 5.43 acres at 3764 S 6400 W from A (agriculture, minimum lot size ½ acre) to RE (residential estate). The Council has already rezoned the neighboring Newton Farm subdivision to RE and approved a development agreement for this subdivision. This resolution amends the Newton Farm development agreement to include the property at 3764 S 6400 W and to amend two of the standards. The two amendments to the standards are:  Setbacks: The applicant is proposing to reduce the front yard setback for homes with a side entry garage to 25’. The applicant is also proposing an average rear setback of 30’ provided no point of the house is closer than 20 feet to the rear property line.  Lot Width: Given the narrow width of the frontage along 6400 W of the property being added, the applicant is requesting that the number of lots with reduced frontage be increased from two to three.  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 -5- Councilmember Buhler clarified which lots will have a narrower lot width. Mayor Bigelow asked if there will be a secondary access to a particular lot due to the configuration of the existing property and the existing homes. Steve replied yes. Mayor Bigelow asked if the Council should consider modifying setback requirements in the Code since the Council seems to be changing this often. Councilmember Buhler replied that he would prefer looking at this on a case by case basis. Mayor Bigelow suggested simply including language to allow for exceptions. Councilmember Buhler stated that he is concerned about unintended consequences. The Council discussed different types of lot shapes, lot sizes, etc. Mayor Bigelow stated that he is concerned about the exceptions proposed in the amended Development Agreement being applied to the entire project and not knowing how many lots it could potentially impact. Councilmember Christensen expressed concern about access through Newton Farm and Clearstone Subdivision. Councilmember Lang asked if any other exceptions are being requested, including lot size reductions. Steve replied no. Steve stated that the even with the requested exception in the Development Agreement, the average rear setback must be 30 feet but the closest point of the home could be 20 feet. The City Council will consider Ordinance 18-34 and Resolution 18-168 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 18, 2018, at 6:30 P.M. ORDINANCE 18-35: ENACT SECTION 2-1-113 OF THE WEST VALLEY CITY MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING CITY COUNCIL VOTING PROCEDURES Mayor Bigelow presented proposed Ordinance 18-35 that would enact Section 2-1-113 of the West Valley City Municipal Code regarding City Council voting procedures. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: West Valley City Code requires four votes of the Council to pass or reject any matter under consideration. There are situations where a quorum of the Council will be present, but the result of the votes will not equal four and thus will not comply with the City ordinance. There may be situations where additional clarity is necessary in order to clarify the record for purposes of appeal. In the event that four votes are not received for any motion before the Council, the motion shall fail. The chair shall then ask for another motion. If no other motion is made or if the second motion also does not receive four votes, the Chair shall ask for a motion to continue the matter to a date certain, specified within a 30 calendar day time period. If no motion for continuance is made, the Chair shall  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 -6- state that the item has been continued to no date certain but shall be placed on another City Council agenda for consideration within 30 calendar days. Additionally, when a motion to approve or deny fails, regardless of the number of votes it fails on, the chair should ask for another vote to confirm the council’s intent. That is, if the vote to approve the item failed, the chair should ask for a vote to deny the item. If the vote to deny failed, the chair should ask for a vote to approve the item. The City Council will consider Ordinance 18-35 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 18, 2018, at 6:30 P.M. RESOLUTION 18-169: APPROVE THE CITYWORKS LICENSE AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT FOR SOFTWARE USE BY VARIOUS CITY DEPARTMENTS Paul Isaac, Assistant City Manager, presented proposed Resolution 18-169 that would approve the Cityworks License and Maintenance Agreement for software use by various City Departments. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: The City been using Cityworks to track all zoning permits, building permits, excavation permits and code enforcement cases for the last 10 years. Cityworks is also used in Public Works for asset management, work orders, and service requests. Renewal of the maintenance contract requires that the City signs a new software license agreement. Formal bidding will not be required since Cityworks is already in place. The City has a substantial investment with Cityworks. The City relies on Cityworks and the integration with other enterprise software applications such as OnBase and GIS for many of the day to day functions of the City. There are 114 different kinds of permits/cases along with workflow and cases status for each case type. There are also numerous types of work orders which track inventory, labor, equipment, materials, and costs. Approval of the license agreement will allow us to continue to use the software. The City Council will consider Resolution 18-169 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 18, 2018, at 6:30 P.M. RESOLUTION 18-170: AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH NEUROPSYCHIATRIC  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 -7- INSTITUTE FOR THE FULL-TIME SERVICES OF A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL Robert Hamilton, Deputy Police Chief, presented proposed Resolution 18-170 that would authorize the City to enter into an Agreement with the University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute for the full-time services of a Mental Health Professional. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: West Valley City has a need for competent licensed mental health professional services and desires to contract with UNI for the allocation of a UNI licensed clinical professional. The use of this professional will complement the already ongoing efforts of the City to assist residents who are experiencing chronic and acute homelessness. The professional will assist the Police Department in finding long term solutions to this issue and seeks to provide intervention, referral or placement for a person with mental illness to facilitate the speedy return of field officers to other field duties. Together, with the UNI professional, WVCPD will endeavor to prevent unnecessary incarceration and/or hospitalization of persons with mental illness, to provide care in the least restrictive environment possible, to provide a variety of clinical services for persons suffering from severe mental and emotional disorders, assist patients and their families in contacting social agencies that provide support and resources for problems that lead to and result from mental illness and severe emotional disorders, and provide follow-up to support access to care and associated reductions in recidivism. The professional will also assist the department in its ongoing efforts to train officers in crisis intervention and de-escalation training. The University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute is prepared to allocate the Professional to serve WVC full time for compensation of the employee’s salary and benefits as agreed upon by both parties. This resolution ratifies the contract between West Valley City Police Department and the University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute Councilmember Buhler clarified that UNI will provide the City with an LCSW. Deputy Chief Hamilton stated that there is a specific person in mind and if that person does not work out or the contract does not work as anticipated, either party can withdraw at any time. Deputy Chief Hamilton explained some of the benefits of the contract, the capability of the UNI professional, etc. Mayor Bigelow asked if there is a significant workload for this individual. Chief Jacobs replied yes. Mayor Bigelow asked where this individual will  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 -8- work. Chief Jacobs replied in the Police Department Headquarters. Councilmember Buhler asked if there will be enough remaining budget for the unsworn officers. Wayne replied yes and explained the budget situation and the direction of the Police Department moving forward as well as the benefit of this concept. Councilmember Buhler stated that homelessness is a growing issue in the City and this is a good way to solve that concern. Mayor Bigelow requested a quarterly update on this item for the first year. The City Council will consider Resolution 18-170 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 18, 2018, at 6:30 P.M. RESOLUTION 18-171: AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE METROPOLITAN NARCOTICS TASK FORCE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT Colleen Jacobs, Police Chief, presented proposed Resolution 18-171 that would authorize the execution of an amendment to the Metropolitan Narcotics Task Force Interlocal Agreement. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: West Valley City has been a party to the Metropolitan Narcotics Task Force since 2014, via an interlocal agreement. This amendment names Salt Lake City as the Task Force fiduciary organization, updates the list of participating agencies to include new agencies that have joined the agreement, replaces Murray City with Salt Lake City, as the host funding agency, and gives Salt Lake City the ability to execute their duty as the host funding agency. The City Council will consider Resolution 18-171 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 18, 2018, at 6:30 P.M. RESOLUTION 18-172: APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE RESIDENTIAL SOLID WASTE COLLECTION, DISPOSAL, AND CURBSIDE RECYCLING SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN WEST VALLEY CITY AND ACE DISPOSAL INC. Russ Willardson, Public Works Director, presented proposed Resolution 18-172 that would approve an amendment to the Residential Solid Waste Collection, Disposal, and Curbside Recycling Service Agreement between West Valley City and Ace Disposal Inc. Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows:  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 -9- Ace has requested an amendment to the City’s contract to include a surcharge for increased costs to process recycling materials. Due to global recycling market changes, Ace’s cost to process recycling material have increased from $25 per ton, to near $55 per ton, since proposals were received in December 2017. This amendment allows for a recycling processing surcharge to be paid to Ace for costs exceeding $25 per ton. With no other changes to the program, this would take recycling costs up to $2.87 per unit per month, from $2.31, for an annual city-wide cost increase of about $180,000. The recycling cost in the only other proposal received by the City was $3.44 per unit per month. This amendment also includes another meaningful change to the recycling program and associated costs. To reduce contamination in the recycling stream, it is proposed that residents be allowed to opt out of the recycling program. Those who care about recycling will presumably be willing to pay a little extra for the service and strive to eliminate contamination. Others can simply choose not to participate and have their garbage fee reduced. With the opt-out option, the collection cost for recycling will increase from $2.31 to $2.85 per home per month. Combined with the processing surcharge the cost for recycling will increase $1.10 per month. These additional costs will be offset by fee adjustments in the Consolidated Fee Schedule. Several options for fee adjustments are shown on the attached sheet. Councilmember Buhler asked how much a second garbage can would cost. Russ replied there are no proposed changes at this time but this could be modified. Councilmember Nordfelt asked if the City wants to reduce recycling. Russ replied that the City wants a cleaner stream of recycling product. He indicated that the thought is that residents who want to recycle will pay an extra $1.00 and those that don’t will appreciate the decrease and will no longer throw trash in the recycling can. Mayor Bigelow discussed bidding practices, social issues regarding recycling, etc. He stated that he feels an opt-out option would save a lot of disharmony. Councilmember Nordfelt stated that he agrees with providing an opt out option and improving the recycling stream but doesn’t agree with reducing fees for residents who choose not to. He indicated that the City is dedicated to improving the environment and residents who don’t participate in that shouldn’t be given a reduction in their costs. Mayor Bigelow suggested raising fees and providing more types of recycling. Councilmember Buhler stated that he would rather un-responsible residents be able to turn in their can, have an incentive, and no longer contaminate trucks. Councilmember Lang agreed. Mayor Bigelow discussed different types of recycling  MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 -10- including metal, plastic bags, etc. Councilmember Nordfelt stated that this is a service the City is providing for the future community. He indicated this is a big issue on a global scale. Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if there is a cap on how much cost per ton. Russ replied no. Mayor Bigelow replied he doesn’t feel comfortable leaving it open-ended. Councilmember Nordfelt stated that he feels comfortable allowing Russ to return to the Council with concerns. Councilmember Buhler stated he would like a cap of $60 per ton. The City Council will consider Resolution 18-172 at the Regular Council Meeting scheduled September 18, 2018, at 6:30 P.M.

The additional 13 feet of right-of- way is being acquired to match the adjacent right-of-way widths. Existing street improvements occupy eight of the 13 feet needed, a 48-foot half width.
