AWARDS, CEREMONIES AND PROCLAMATIONS SCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 10, 2019 A. EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH AWARD, DECEMBER 2019- KENT JENSEN, PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT Councilmember Huynh offered to read the nomination of Kent Jensen, Parks and Recreation Department, to receive Employee of the Month Award for December 2019. The award reads as follows: Kent Jensen exemplifies customer service and continually performs above expectations in his interactions with coworkers and with the public. He is the Parks & Recreation liaison for Eagle Scout projects, company volunteer requests and public inquiries through the website. He is also the contact person for intra-city issues regarding park maintenance. Add to this the supervision of his team and you will have a small picture of the truly constant interruptions and demands on his time. His day starts at dawn, but he is often on the phone late in the evening answering questions. All of this he does professionally and kindly. He responds to requests and returns with MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – DECEMBER 3, 2019 -3- a follow up after the job has been completed. He happily shares horticulture and landscaping tips. When there is a special event, from football practice to WestFest carnivals, he ensures that the site is clean and ready. There are so many instances where he has been invaluable that it is hard to pick just one. He simply shows up every day and gives his absolute best, regardless of advance notice or weather. Kent is the one who gets it done, can always be counted on, and is a true asset to West Valley City. B. DIVISION OF THE QUARTER AWARD- DIVISON OF ARTS AND CULTURE Councilmember Fitisemanu offered to read the nomination of Division of Arts and Culture to receive Division of the Quarter Award. The award reads as follows: Employees of the Division of Arts and Culture, while physically located at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center are nonetheless spreading their influence throughout West Valley City. Recognizing that our City is home to the most ethnically diverse citizenry in the State with a wealth of untapped cultural and artistic talent, employees of this Division are bringing to life the vision outlined in West Valley City’s General Plan (Chapter 9.3). All the employees are committed to improving the quality of life for our citizens by including arts and promoting health and well being of our residents through a variety of social, recreational, cultural and artistic opportunities. Almost going unnoticed this Division has methodically and strategically facilitated several arts and cultural programs through festivals, theater, musical performances and art exhibitions not just at the UCCC venue but have taken some of these programs into the Elementary, Junior High’s and High School’s where students who otherwise would not have opportunities to participate can see, feel and be inspired by the arts. The Division of Arts and Cultural hosted over 124,790 guests this past year, sponsored over 9 concerts, 9 theatrical performances, provided 11 Gallery Exhibits as well as 21 other exhibits, and two major festivals. And that is not all, they performed over 48 Community Outreach programs by providing educational and arts programs to the minority communities at the UCCC venue and in the schools. They even sponsored a scholarship program for the students and “gave away” several hundred tickets for students to attend the Utah Arts Festival. The Division also accommodated through their time, and labor over 217 events at UCCC as well as over 42 MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – DECEMBER 3, 2019 -4- City sponsored events. Finally, the Division has prepared a plan for the operation of a performing arts center, previously known as the Hale Center Theatre at Harmon Hall.

The Division has a proven track record of attracting major theatrical performances, including the Utah Shakespeare Festival, producing Community plays, co-presenting comedy acts as well as filming live shows at Harman Theater. providing what our citizens want; hands-on participation, less formality, more availability and accessibility, less expensive, more responsiveness to the needs of the community. The Division is truly living up to their vision statement by “providing opportunities for people to learn, experience and celebrate art, culture and the community.” RESOLUTION 19-164: AUTHORIZE THE CITY TO ENTER INTO PROPERTY SCHEDULE NO. 18 OF THE MASTER TAX-EXEMPT LEASE/PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH US BANCORP GOVERNMENT LEASING AND FINANCING, INC.

Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as follows: This action will allow the Division of Arts and Culture to better serve residents and patrons at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center by providing clear information and direction on events and key locations throughout the facility. The UCCC has steadily grown into a premier destination for events of all kinds. With the increase in foot traffic, the need for appropriate wayfinding as well as general information on exhibits, events, and breakout sessions for clients. This project will allow the Division to bring the UCCC into current standards for a convention space and facilitate patrons and events for many future years. MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – DECEMBER 3, 2019 -6- Mayor Pro-Tem Buhler asked if the proposed signage is interactive. Andrew replied that this option is being looked at but TPI didn’t feel it was necessary at this time. He indicated that staff can control what is displayed on each screen. Mayor Pro-Tem Buhler asked if existing staff can accomplish providing up to date information on the signage. Andrew replied yes.

Councilmember Huynh indicated that he feels this is being accomplished successfully. C. HB 411/ RENEWABLE ENERGY John Rock, Administration, presented a PowerPoint presentation summarized as follows: - HB 411 Overview o Legislative provision giving “2nd Option” and Legislative framework to Municipalities with a goal of reaching 100% Net Zero Emissions Offset by 2030. o Must pass resolution by Dec 31, 2019 o Sets up 2nd rate structure that will be an “Opt Out” program for all entities within a participating Municipality (Business, Residence, Industrial) o Participating Municipalities and Utility will negotiate for new Rate Structures, cost sharing of decommissioning plants early, and new resource acquisition and power production construction. Costs will NOT be shared between those who remain in the program, and those who choose to opt out. o Process will be privately insured to prevent any one party from holding the bag if the process is not economically viable. Not in the current HB 411 language. - HB 411 Basic Timeline o Dec 31 2019 – Pass a Resolution that qualifies City to participate in HB 411 o Q1-Q3 2020 – New Rates and Terms negotiated with RMP for HB 411 Subscribers MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – DECEMBER 3, 2019 -13- o Q4 2020 – Sign Binding Contract with RMP on new Rates with State utility Commission. Interlocal agreement with participating communities signed and governance body developed. City Council passes 2nd binding resolution committing City participation. o Expected City Expenses Will be incurred At This Point – Costs Unknown o Q4 2020 – Opt Out Period of 2 Billing Cycles begins. Notifications sent out to customers. Municipalities will be responsible for notifying residents and to develop low income plan. o 2021-2022 – 1st “RFP” for Initial Energy Conservation Measures “Wattsmart on Steroids” o 2022-2023- 2nd ‘RFP” For Sourcing Renewable Energy for participating customers o 2023 – 2024 – 3rd “RFP” for acquisition and construction of Renewable power sources to reach 100 Percent Net offset - Proposed Advantages of HB 411 o “Consistent” Power Rates via Renewable Sources  Less susceptible to price shifts related to fossil fuels or natural gas via resource prices, enhanced regulations, or power production maintenance costs  Renewables already becoming the “norm” for utilities, locking in reliable rates now to offset higher rates from fossil fuel sources. o Potential Long Term Advantages  HB 411 Participants shielded from rising costs of operating expensive and out dated coal plants. Out of the non renewable market by 2030.  Stable rates protect long term City investments in Energy Efficiency. Saving on energy retrofits or upgrades not wiped out due to increased costs. - Perfect Day HB 411 Outlook - Perfect Day Conclusions o “No HB 411” data line based on $1.1 Million in City Electric bills that remain steady o Annual increase of 2.5% (Average rate of change from 1996- 2016) o Parity with “Yes HB 411” in 2031 o By 2040 $235,000 a year more expensive. MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – DECEMBER 3, 2019 -14- o Does not factor in planned efficiency retrofits or improvements of city facilities that would reduce electrical load o “Yes HB 411” data line has net increased costs of $868,408.25 from 2020-2031 o Based on Speculative Rate Hikes of 9% in 2020, and 3% increases until 2025. Increase of 1% after to reflect inflation. o Assumption of no more significant rate changes post 2025, process not completely falling apart. o “Cheaper” after 2038 - Not Considered by perfect day scenario o City Efforts to reduce power consumption  Maverik Center Retrofit alone reduces $150,000 and 1 million kilowatt hours  Future technological efficiencies or facility upgrades will reduce consumption  Future City sustainability or efficiency upgrades will continue to reduce electrical load o Rate Changes  Impossible to predict what actual rates will be, based on participating customers in Municipality and total consumption across a municipality  Small shifts in prospective future Rate changes can create large shifts. If Average utility rates for non HB 411 participants only average 1.5% in the future, parity point would not occur until 2044.  Unlikely new renewable rate will stay perfectly consistent, unknown future costs from RFP o Other Externalities  Early Retirement of assets by RMP will be assigned to HB 411 rate payers of unknown costs. Will require rate increases. Other unknown factors also may cause HB 411 rate increases.  Technological change or regulatory shifts could cause significant rate changes for either group  Community Partnership difficulties inherent in normal interlocal agreement relationships o Conclusions  HB 411 is a speculative bet on Renewable Energy being a cheaper and more economic way of sourcing energy in the long run. 40-50 year commitment if adopted MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – DECEMBER 3, 2019 -15-  No way to accurately predict how rates will change, making economic forecasting extremely difficult. Extremely small shifts in rate changes drastically change the “ROI” of HB 411.  Potentially limits WVC from undertaking its own Sustainability measures. Locked into HB 411 process until at least 2030.  Significant staff time would need to be dedicated to this process for years, and additional consulting services may be required for analysis in the short and long term.  It is not recommended to pass HB 411 to “just have a seat at the table”. This needs to be a serious commitment, with appropriate resources dedicated to it. Councilmember Nordfelt asked if the City would negotiate individually with the utility company or if other Cities would be involved. John replied there nothing is definitive, but it is assumed all Cities involved would negotiate with the utility company. Councilmember Christensen expressed concern about residents only having 2 billing cycles to opt out of the program without having to pay a penalty. Councilmember Buhler asked who would be responsible for noticing residents of the ability to opt out. John replied it is unclear but likely the utility company and the City. Wayne noted that the City would be responsible for noticing costs. The Council and staff discussed the “perfect day” scenario. Councilmember Buhler stated that the he doesn’t have a lot of confidence in the Legislature not modifying this bill in the future. He stated he understands the need for commitment and green energy but isn’t sure if this is the best method. Wayne indicated that the City is very supportive of green energy and net zero 2030 but are not in support of HB411. He stated there are many difficulties with the bill including the interlocal agreements, legislative aspects, etc. He discussed the bill, goals of the City, etc. Wayne indicated that the City feels there are other clearer, simpler, and more financially feasible methods to accomplish the same goals. He briefly detailed one of these potential methods that the City has begun looking into. Councilmember Huynh stated that he feels Salt Lake City and Park City will control this project and West Valley will not have a large voice. Councilmember Fitisemanu stated that residents want this and he feels it’s important that the City takes an aggressive stand whether it’s to follow HB411 or another similar path. Councilmember Nordfelt stated that he believes the unknowns of HB411 will get worked out and he is concerned that residents of West Valley City will miss out on the opportunity it brings if the City fails to pass a resolution that leaves an option open for participation. He noted that the City can stop the process at any time before financially contributing to the process if it MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – DECEMBER 3, 2019 -16- doesn’t seem like it will work. The Council agreed to review a resolution at the next Study Meeting. D.
