The motion passed by unanimous vote. 3. UNIFIED FIRE AUTHORITY REPORT Assistant Chief Dusty Dern said he was filling in for Chief Ken Aldridge who was on vacation. He said he wanted to highlight one of their divisions, their information outreach and public information officers work year-round managing school events, neighbor events and all of their community events. In 2025, that included 165 community events they managed and coordinated with more than 200 station tours and school visits throughout the year. There are six people assigned to that division and it’s their public facing education format to push out tons of social media. They are working with local media channels to get information out and lately they had several media campaigns come out such as a firefighter showing what happens when deep frying a turkey goes wrong and a Christmas tree that caught fire and how quickly that goes up in flames. Part of that division’s communication is reducing community risk and working with their community risk reduction team. The value in that is to push out the information to try to get ahead of some of the problems. They try to look for trends, issues, and any way they can engage in the community before they have to respond, so more of a proactive approach. One of the things they are pushing out this month is the 211 website and app. That’s a Utah app and site that gives residents a directory to local services. The December safety message is regarding structure fires and home fires during the holidays. He said 46% of those fires are caused by heating equipment in the home including space heaters. He said many times the fires are due to materials being too close to the space heater. Assistant Chief Dern said the responses for last month were 24 incidents with five fire- related responses and 19 medical responses. So far for the year, there have been 225 White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 2 incident responses within White City. 4. UNIFIED POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT Detective Josh Smith said the calls for last month were in the high 30’s, which has become the trend. He said White City is consistent and they have a good program in place. He said there were quite a few suspicious activity calls that came in, which is good. That means the community is paying attention and calling police instead of ignoring the issues. He cautioned against fraud calls with people asking for money throughout the holidays. He also recommended not leaving anything in your car that can be seen. Detective Smith said this Saturday at the Walmart in Midvale, the Midvale/White City precinct is teaming up with the Rotary Club to assist Operation Santa in helping take some kids shopping and enjoy a nice breakfast. On December 13th, they will follow that up with Unified Police Department’s Shop with the Shield, which is another opportunity they will have to take some kids shopping, enjoy a good meal and brighten their lives for at least one day. Mayor Flint asked how much money was brought in by the police growing their beards for the Shop with the Shield program? Chief Morse said it usually brings in a couple of thousand dollars, enough to support about 18 families. For those that don’t know, the officers are allowed to donate $100 and that allows them to wear a beard for the year. Without the donation, their policy does not allow facial hair. Chief Morse said she and the UPD Crossing Guard Coordinator met with the Canyon’s School District to discuss safe routes for the children walking to school. It also led to a broader discussion of traffic safety and identifying areas with concerns. They are trying to strategize to get the resources out to address those issues. Chief Morse discussed the competition with Millcreek and Holiday to collect as many goods as possible for the family shelter center. She said their precinct has collected over 4000 items. She expressed her appreciation for their generosity. She wished everyone a very happy holiday. 5. ACTION ITEMS 5.1 APPROVE MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 13 AND NOVEMBER 18, 2025 Council Member Shelton, seconded by Council Member Price, motioned to accept the minutes of November 13 and November 18, 2025. The motion passed by unanimous vote. 5.2 DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 2025-O-06 ENACTING SECTION 15.08.11 OF THE WHITE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT THE 2006 EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE CODE White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 3  Brian Tucker said in the last legislative session, the legislature passed HB48, which requires every city to adopt the Wildland Urban Interface Code (WUI). The state has adopted the 2006 version and nothing since then, so the cities are required to adopt the 2006 version of the WUI code as well. In February, staff will be looking to adop a map as to where this code applies. There is a map that has been created by the Fire and Forestry Lands which is based on fire risks and have suggested that the cities, starting at the level 5 fire risk, adopt a map that shows anything above level 5. The MSD GIS team is working on a map to be adopted. Since White City does not have any areas that are at level 5, so it will most likely be a blank map. Council Member Huish, seconded by Council Member Price, motioned to adopt Ordinance No. 2025-O-06 Enacting Section 15.08.11 of the White City Municipal Code to adopt the 2006 Edition of the International Wildland Urban Interface Code. The motion passed by unanimous vote. 5.3 DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 2025-12-01 ADOPTING THE MSD PRIVACY POLICY Rori Andreason said in 2025 the Legislature adopted more enhanced requirements regarding the Government Data Privacy Program. One of the requirements is to adopt a Privacy Policy. Since White City contracts with the Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District who collects all data for city services, the MSD Privacy Policy is the document proposed for adoption by the Council to complete this requirement of the state. Council Member Shelton, seconded by Council Member Cardenaz, motioned to adopt Resolution No. 2025-12-01 adopting the MSD Privacy Policy. The motion passed by unanimous vote. 6. DISCUSSION ITEM 6.1 DISCUSS MSD PAYROLL SCHEDULE Daniel Hoffman discussed the payroll process through the MSD. He said the Mayor and Council are paid monthly. Right now, the pay schedule is to be paid at the end of each month with the pay date the first day of the following month. He said he usually runs payroll on the 24th or 25th of each month to make sure it hits by the first of the month. He said he reviewed prior payrolls and made sure all individuals had been paid in full. He confirmed that payroll will be paid at the end of the month. 7. COUNCIL REPORTS 7.1 GREATER SALT LAKE MUNICIPAL SERVICES DISTRICT/COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS Mayor Flint said there was no MSD meeting held prior to the White City meeting, so White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 4 she had nothing to report. 7.2 UNIFIED FIRE AUTHORITY/UNIFIED FIRE SERVICE AREA Council Member Huish said he met with UFA CFO Tony Hill to discuss and understand the Sandy Contract better, which covers White City. How the dollar amount is determined, the impact with the required annexation of pockets within Sandy and other cities and what that means for the Sandy contract. So, his understanding is as Sandy is forced to annex all these areas, the Sandy contract becomes smaller. So, the costs for this area will continue to shrink until the only piece of the Sandy contract will be White City itself. He said it was very beneficial to receive this information. Council Member Huish said as part of the UFSA meeting, Eagle Mountain came to UFSA asking for an interlocal agreement as a pass through for tax dollars. Apparently, Meta (Facebook, Instagram) is wanting to build another data center in Eagle Mountain on over hundreds of acres of property. They would like the majority of all the property tax revenue given back to them as part of this development. He said he was opposed to this, but the Board did adopt the interlocal agreement. He said the property is currently making $24 in property taxes and with the development will be generating millions of dollars in property taxes. He said the vote passed 5 to 3 in favor. He said he was one of the three opposed. He did not think the Board had the time necessary to understand the implications, but they are now in a 40-year interlocal agreement. 7.3 MOSQUITO ABATEMENT/SALT LAKE COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL Council Member Price said she had nothing for the Mosquito Abatement since there has not been a meeting prior to the White City meeting. She said with Animal Control, they are reminding people that January is a good time to vaccinate your animals, make sure the microchip is up-to-date and has the correct information, and make sure your pet is licensed according to the state law. She said they are working with the Sheriff’s office and the County jail to relaunch the participation in the SHED program. This program works with prisoners to offer services that assist the shelter and enriches the prisoners. She said it’s a good opportunity for the prisoners to get some education and assist them in getting work once they are released. They also have two legislative bills they are working on for the 2026 Legislature. The first one is to get the Animal Control Officers to be listed as first responders because in a disaster, a lot of pets get neglected. The other bill is to get the courts to rule more quickly on the disposition of animals that are caught up in litigation. She said they’ve had situations where the animal is held at the shelter for over three years waiting for the judge to rule on something. 7.4 UNIFIED POLICE DEPARTMENT/SLVLESA Council Member Cardenaz said the SLVLESA meeting was a heated meeting to determine what the budget should be. He said the decision was made to go with the cheaper budget option for the tentative budget that will go to a public hearing on December 18th to adopt the final budget. 7.5 WASATCH FRONT WASTE AND RECYCLING DISTRICT White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 5  Council Member Shelton said the Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District held their budget hearing. He said there was discussion regarding fees and there will be no fee increase this year and no discussion about an increase for next year, but they are looking at trying to schedule a regular smaller increase each year, so they don’t have big increases. He said they are looking at trying to reclaim some of their operating expenses including fees on transactions for payments depending on the source the payment is made through. They are doing everything possible to keep costs low. He discussed the use of trailers for city cleanups. He said they have a new board member from West Jordan. 8. CLOSED SESSIONS IF NEEDED AS ALLOWED UNDER UTAH CODE ANN. §52-4- 205 No closed session was needed. 9. ADJOURN Council Member Cardenaz, seconded by Council Member Shelton, motioned to adjourn. The motion passed unanimously. Mayor Flint declared the meeting adjourned at 7:16 p.m. Rori L. Andreason, City Recorder Approved this 8th day of January 2026.
