He said they will be doing a division spotlight each month. This month they will spotlight the Fire Prevention Division. Unified Fire Authority is deeply committed to safeguarding community health safety and wellbeing through a proactive comprehensive community risk reduction network. Community risk reduction is embedded across all fire prevention division responsibilities. UFA conducts a technical plan review and acceptance testing to ensure new construction incorporates adequate fire protection systems, performs fire safety inspections to mitigate risks in existing occupancies and provides standby, oversight for large public events. Together these coordinated efforts create a data informed prevention White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 2 focused system that measurably reduces risk and promotes a safer more resilient community. January’s safety message is regarding winter storm safety. With winter storms ahead, they want to remind residents of some fire safety tips to keep in mind during the season. Remember to test your smoke detectors monthly, have installed carbon monoxide alarms in your homes, which is especially important during winter. Plan with your family two ways to get in and out of your home in case of any kind of emergency. Keep your walkways clear in case you have rescuers that need to get in quickly. Make sure your house number is easily visible from the street. And be a good neighbor and check-in on your neighbors if you haven’t seen them and make sure we are taking good care of each other. 3.1 Sandy City Fire Report Chief Ryan McConaghie congratulated the newly elected officials. He extended an invitation to tour fire station 31, by the old Wasatch shadows nursery. They are inside and fully staffed and operational. This is one fire station that would be responding into White City. They have just finished an interview process and will be making offers to three new recruits that will be starting the next recruit academy on February 9th. Once those offers are made, that will bring them up to full staff. He reported that they have a wildland brush truck on order along with a tiller ladder truck on order. They are about a year out before they do a pre-build on those with a year to two years out to be receiving the trucks. For the monthly report, in December 2025, they had 24 medical calls and 3 fire calls in White City. For the year of 2025, they had 197 medical calls for the year with 73 fire incidents. In the previous year, they had 202 medical calls and 85 fire incidents, so pretty close to being the same amount of calls. 4. UNIFIED POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT Detective Josh Smith congratulated the newly elected officials. He said he sounds like a broken record with the calls for the month around 40 calls. That’s just the calls that are being generated, not the number of times they responded to White City. He said the majority of the cases generated in White City, there is an officer responding in person. He said the calls regarding suspicious activity, the officer will respond to the area to figure out what’s going on. He said there are juveniles going around to mailboxes and removing mail. The owners don’t realize anything is missing. They have been responding to those calls. The Council would like to see a report of how many calls have officers responding to the City. Detective Smith said they make sure they are not responding to the same address over and over. If they do go back, they try to find them more resources. They did see increase in traffic accidents this month. There are a lot of civil cases and welfare check cases. There is a trend making its way to the Salt Lake valley. It’s a tik tok challenge to ring a door bell and run away; but now it’s up to kicking the door and running away. Doors White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 3 are being knocked off the hinges which is not good and can be very dangerous. Make sure you know where your kids are and what they are doing. He reminded everyone to keep track of serial numbers of toys or equipment maybe received for Christmas. Chief Morse said December was a very busy month and they participated in several events. They participated in Operation Santa with the Midvalley Rotary Club, the UPD Shop with a Shield event is hosted through the Unified Police Department with sworn officers, civilians donating to that. They were able to serve 15 families and 51 children with $250 to shop at Walmart. She said this was very successful for them. There was a precinct challenge with Holladay and Millcreek collecting items and donations for the Connie Crosby Family Resource Center. She is happy to announce that Midvale/White City won that challenge with over 10,000 items collected and over $2000 donated. They’ve had two retirements in the precincts this months as well as K-9 Cash. They will have two sergeant transferring in and one new hire this month.
