proposal that would reduce the cost of purchase for the land. The property owner
expressed opposition to this so the applicant has chosen to withdraw this item for
consideration.

the Regular Council Meeting scheduled August 20 at 6:30 P.M.

follows:
The Office of the Utah Attorney General oversees the Utah ICAC task force, a
cooperative group of law enforcement agencies that participate in the
identification of perpetrators of crimes against children and related investigations,
arrests, and prosecutions of said perpetrators. The Office of the Utah Attorney
General awards state grants to participating law enforcement agencies to assist in
covering the expenses incurred by the various agencies in the course of their
participation on the Task Force. Such expenses include overtime, training, and the
purchase of equipment.
The West Valley City Police Department supports continuing our partnership with
the ICAC Task Force in our mutual efforts to protect children and bring offenders
to justice. This cooperative arrangement has been in place for many years and has
been an effective means of increasing the West Valley City Police Department’s
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 13, 2024

ability to properly investigate and prosecute offenders who sexually exploit
children through various technological mediums, provide training and equipment
to department personnel involved in such investigations and prosecutions, and
provide community education regarding the prevention of such crimes.
Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if there are any changes from previous years. Chief
Jacobs replied no. Councilmember Whetstone asked if the funding has changed over the
years. Chief Jacobs replied that it has not changed for many years but noted that the amount
does cover overtime and other costs adequately.
The City Council will consider Resolution 24-125 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled August 20, 2024 at 6:30 P.M
RESOLUTION 24-126: APPROVE A SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT TO
PARTICIPATE IN A CONSORTIUM TO RECEIVE HOME INVESTMENT
PARTNERSHIP FUNDS
Layne Morris, CPD Director, presented proposed Resolution 24-126 that would approve a
Subrecipient Agreement to Participate in a Consortium to Receive Home Investment
Partnership Funds.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
The County has entered into a grant agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) for financial assistance to conduct a HOME Investment
Partnership Program (HOME Program) pursuant to the HOME Investment Partnerships
Act, Title II of the Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. 12701-
12839, as amended, and subject to the Rules and Regulations, promulgated by HUD
governing the conduct of HOME Investment Partnership Programs including, but not
limited to , Title 24, Part 92 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (the Rules and
Regulations); and the applicable Circulars published by the U.S. Office of Management
and Budget (OMB Circulars).
Salt Lake County has created a consortium involving six Utah cities. West Valley City is
a member of the Salt Lake County HOME Consortium, as per the multi-year HUD HOME
Interlocal Agreement signed in September 2023. Each year West Valley City has been
allocated HOME funds through this partnership. The funding is restrictive allowing only
certain residential construction and home rehabilitation.
Councilmember Nordfelt asked who receives these funds. Layne replied that it can go to a
variety of places but is restrictive to residential construction and home rehabilitation. He
explained how the grant is administered. Councilmember Nordfelt asked if residents apply
for this and are given this as a grant or loan. Layne replied that it depends on the
circumstance. Councilmember Huynh clarified that the homes must be owner occupied and
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 13, 2024

cannot be sold for at least 5 years. Layne replied yes. Upon inquiry, Layne briefly detailed
involvement in Operation My Hometown. Councilmember Whetstone asked how the City
fulfills the grant in compliance with Salt Lake County. Layne detailed how this is
conducted. Councilmember Whetstone noted that the total budget in the agreement
indicated $270,000. Layne replied that would be the total amount the City would receive
outside of the consortium. He stated that various options are possible in relation to the
consortium that the council can consider in the future.

of an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement With Salt Lake County for Access to Aerial Imagery.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
This resolution authorizes the City to enter into an agreement for the purchase and
use of digital orthorectified aerial photography and oblique imagery of West Valley
City. Under this agreement, the West Valley City agrees to participate in the
acquisition of a commercial aerial photography license of high-resolution Imagery
data. The County agrees to give the City a limited license for a web service of the
imagery as well as hard-copy images to use natural color Orthorectified Imagery at
7.5 cm (3 in.) and 22.5 cm (9 in.) resolution for all areas within its geographical
boundaries.
Current, accurate digital orthorectified photography has many uses within the City.
The photos are used within the majority of City Departments to visualize and
identify growth; compare urban changes with aerial photography from previous
years; as a reference for new spatial information; as a background for online map
viewers and printed maps; for measurements of impervious surfaces; and more.
The format is compatible with existing GIS applications that are used and
developed by City Staff. By partnering with other agencies, costs for aerial
photography are significantly reduced.
The City Council will consider Resolution 24-127 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled August 20, 2024 at 6:30 P.M
RESOLUTION 24-128: AWARD A CONTRACT TO ALTA EXCAVATION LLC
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 13, 2024
-8-
FOR THE KIOWA WAY STORM DRAIN PROJECT
Coby Wilson, Public Works, presented proposed Resolution 24-128 that would award a
Contract to Alta Excavation LLC For the Kiowa Way Storm Drain Project.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
The purpose of this project is to eliminate periodic flooding to properties along the
north side of Kiowa Way and to reroute storm water flows from a failing drainage
system on private property to a new drainage system in public right of way.
Currently, there is a storm water/irrigation tailwater ditch that lacks capacity to
adequately convey flows from Cree Drive (3655 South) to 3500 South. This project
will pipe the portion of the ditch that lacks capacity and will construct a new storm
drain line in the existing Kiowa Way (3540 South) to enable the rerouting of the
storm water.
Bids were opened for the Kiowa Way Storm Drain project on July 9, 2024. A total
of three (3) bids were received. The lowest responsible bidder was Alta Excavation
LLC in the amount of $495,000.
Councilmember Nordfelt asked if the City has worked with Alta. Coby replied no and noted
that they are a new contractor and a small company. He stated that they did call for
references on other projects and the recommendations were positive but added that the City
will watch the project closely. Councilmember Nordfelt noted that the Council recently
approved a development in the currently vacant field and asked if the City is working with
the developer on this. Coby replied yes. Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if the
abandonment of the pipes will involve excavation on private property. Coby replied no.
The City Council will consider Resolution 24-128 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled August 20, 2024 at 6:30 P.M
RESOLUTION 24-129: APPROVE A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY AND THE UTAH DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Coby Wilson, Public Works, presented proposed Resolution 24-129 that would approve a
Cooperative Agreement Between the City and the Utah Department of Transportation
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included information as
follows:
The Safe Sidewalk Program provides a legislative funding source for construction
of new sidewalks adjacent to state routes where sidewalks do not currently exist
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 13, 2024
-9-
and where major construction or reconstruction is not planned in the immediate
future. The program is administered by UDOT and requires a 25% local
government match with a maximum State participation of $100,000.
West Valley City submitted a Safe Sidewalk application earlier this year to
construct missing segments of sidewalk along the north side of 3500 South between
Sunshade Drive (5450 West) and approximately 5350 West. The estimate
submitted with the application to construct the entire length of the missing
sidewalk, along with the associated right-of-way and improvements, was $500,000.
UDOT recently informed the city that the State would participate up to $169,000
on this project, which requires a minimum local government match of $56,334.
Realizing that $225,334 is not enough to construct the entire project limits
identified in the application, UDOT is allowing flexibility to adjust the limits of the
project as necessary to maximize the use of the available funds. It is anticipated that
the project will be constructed in 2025.
Councilmember Whetstone asked if the sidewalk would take property from some residents.
Coby replied yes and noted that the right-of-way acquisition will be the most limiting factor
as far as expenses. Councilmember Whetstone noted that there is a property owner who
had a dispute with Granger Hunter related to water overflow. Coby replied that the City
will wait until the dispute is resolved before moving forward with that portion of the
project.
The City Council will consider Resolution 24-129 at the Regular Council Meeting
scheduled August 20, 2024 at 6:30 P.M
AUTHORIZE CONSENT AGENDA FOR REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST 20,
2024
Councilmember Nordfelt stated that some of these items are large dollar amounts that
should maybe be considered separately. After discussion, the Council authorized three
items for the consent agenda with the final two needing separate consideration.

C. REVIEW AGENDA FOR SPECIAL REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
MEETING SCHEDULED AUGUST 20, 2024
RDA RESOLUTION 24-09: AUTHORIZE THE REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY OF WEST VALLEY CITY TO RENEW THE HOMETOWN
SCHOLARS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH THE UNIVERSITY
OF UTAH
Jonathan Springmeyer, ED Director, presented proposed Resolution 24-09 that
would authorize the Redevelopment Agency of West Valley City to Renew the
Hometown Scholars Contribution Agreement with the University of Utah.
Written documentation previously provided to the City Council included
information as follows:
As part of the City Council’s goal of creating and maintaining a sustainable
city, the RDA has been tasked with improving opportunities for secondary
education for West Valley City students. The City Council and the Board
recognized that having an educated workforce present in the city provides
for many economic development opportunities not otherwise available. As
the City moves to the future it is important to maintain the workforce
already in place and to increase the educational attainment levels of our
residents. This is the seventh year of the Opportunity Scholars - RDA
partnership.
This year the My Hometown Scholarship program assisted 24 West Valley
City University Students. There were 16 students who graduated from the
program this year. This scholarship program is widely advertised and
promoted at all of the city’s high schools as well as to WVC seniors that
live in the City but may attend schools out of our boundary. If these students
take the My Hometown scholarship monies, they agree to represent West
MINUTES OF COUNCIL STUDY MEETING – AUGUST 13, 2024
-13-
Valley City and will either remain living in the City or come back to the
city and seek employment long term in the City as well.
The RDA will use its state law mandated housing set aside money to provide
affordable housing and other tools to at least 16 students from West Valley
City that will attend the University of Utah in the Fall of 2024. These
students will be in the program, will live at Fairbourne Station, will attend
classes via the Trax line, and will be provided other mentor and scholarship
opportunities through the university to ensure their success. Opportunity
scholars has a 93% graduation rate for those in its program. Opportunity
scholars serves first generation college students. The Opportunity Scholars
program provides retention resources such as tutors, mentors, internships,
advising, career-services, service-learning projects, community outreach,
networking opportunities, counseling, financial assistance, and access to the
program director.
Councilmember Harmon asked how many of the students are graduates of Granger
or Hunter. Jon replied that he doesn’t have the exact number but would say the
overwhelming majority of them are. Upon inquiry by Councilmember Huynh, Jon
briefly explained the requirements needed to participate in this program. He also
explained how the students are mentored throughout their college experience.
Councilmember Fitisemanu asked if internships are offered by the City for those
students. Jon replied that this is being explored in both the City government as well
as in businesses in West Valley City. Upon inquiry, Jon stated that all RDA funds
used are strictly used for West Valley City students. Councilmember Whetstone
asked if funds could be used toward scholarships more rather than housing. Jon
replied that this is something the City could look at but noted that housing is an
important aspect of the program. He indicated that some students may not have a
stable home environment and rely on this while attending school. Ifo added that
this particular RDA funding is specifically tied to housing so it’s a required
component. He indicated that he feels this is a very creative way to spend those
dollars.
The Redevelopment Agency will consider Resolution 24-09 at the Special Meeting
scheduled August 20, 2024 at 6:30 P.M
MOTION TO ADJOURN
Upon motion by Councilmember Huynh all voted in favor to adjourn.
