COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT
Maridene Alexander said the purpose of communications and outreach plan is to reduce
confusion and misinformation, improve public awareness of City services & decisions,
increase resident trust and participation, and support Council and staff with clearer
communication processes. She discussed the newsletters she creates for other entities
within the MSD as well as different types of postcards and fliers. She recommended an E-
Newsletter for the City as well as improvements to the City website. She discussed social
media and the platforms she uses with the suggested number of posts per week.
The Council said they would like to discuss the city’s communication plan in the near
future.

4. DISCUSS OPTIONS FOR A CENTRAL ONLINE HUB OF CITY AND MSD
DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING GATHERING IDEAS FROM THE MSD IT
DEPARTMENT, THAT COULD SUPPORT COLLABORATION AMONG MSD STAFF,
CITY STAFF AND ELECTED OFFICIALS
Mark Schneider, IT Director, discussed the following:
Executive Summary
This staff report presents two safe, secure options for e-mail and storing the City’s working
documents and official records. Both options improve security over the current configuration
and reduce risk related to public records requests, privacy, ransomware, accidental deletion,
and long-term retention obligations. The MSD IT Staff recommends Option 2 (MSD Microsoft
tenant) using a phased approach that begins with Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, along with
MSD’s existing backup and security tooling, and later adds Laserfiche for records
management where needed.
Background and Problem Statement
The Cities currently use a basic Google Workspace subscription for email and productivity
tools. While this approach is low cost, it does not provide the same level of security controls,
auditing, retention management, and government-oriented compliance features available in
higher security environments. As the volume of digital documents grows, so does the need
for consistent protections, clear ownership of data, dependable backups, and a defensible
process for keeping and disposing of records in accordance with Utah retention schedules.
What “Secure Storage” Means in Plain Language
• Confidentiality: Only authorized staff and officials can access sensitive information.
• Integrity: Files are protected from unauthorized changes; access and changes are
logged.
• Availability: Documents remain accessible when needed, even after hardware loss,
cyber incidents, or accidental deletion.
• Retention: Official records are kept for the required time and destroyed appropriately
when eligible, with audit trails.
• Public Records Readiness: The City can efficiently locate, preserve, and produce records
for GRAMA requests and litigation holds.
Decision Criteria
• Security and compliance with federal and Utah expectations for government data
• Ability to safely collaborate and share documents (including shared drives)
• Backup and recovery capabilities
• Records retention and defensible disposition
• User experience and training impact
• Total cost and scalability
White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 2
Option 1: Upgrade to Google Workspace for Government
Under this option, the City would upgrade from a basic Google Workspace subscription to a
government-focused version designed to meet heightened security and compliance
requirements required by the Federal and State governments. Google Drive can then be
used as the primary file storage solution, including the use of Shared Drives for departments
and projects.
What Would Change
• Email and Google productivity tools remain familiar to users.
• Google Drive becomes the approved primary storage location for City files.
• Shared Drives can be created to reduce reliance on individual “personal” drives and
improve continuity when staff change.
Benefits
• Improved security and compliance features compared to the current subscription level.
• Centralized shared drives improve continuity and reduce “single person” ownership of
important files.
• Minimal change management for users already working in Google apps.
Limitations and Risks
• Records management (retention schedules, holds, and automated disposition) may still
require a dedicated records system for official records.
• If the City later adopts MSD-standard tools (Microsoft, Laserfiche), additional migration
effort could occur.
• Costs increase meaningfully compared to the current subscription.
• MSD IT Staff would NOT be available to support this option. Support would be at the
local level.
Option 2: Move to the MSD Microsoft Tenant and Use MSD’s Secure Storage
Ecosystem
Under this option, the City would join the MSD-managed Microsoft 365 tenant and use
Microsoft SharePoint for file storage. This provides a consistent, government-grade security
baseline and aligns with the tools MSD already uses and supports. As needed, specialized
tools can be added: Egnyte for engineering-style mapped drives and Laserfiche for records
management and retention automation.
Phase 1 (Recommended Starting Point): Microsoft 365 + SharePoint + MSD
Security and Backups
• Microsoft 365 (email, Office apps, and SharePoint file storage).
• Barracuda backup services for additional recovery assurance.
• Strong endpoint and account protections available through MSD at no additional cost:
SentinelOne, Action1, and Microsoft Intune.
White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 3
Phase 1 provides secure email, familiar Office applications, and a modern file storage
platform (SharePoint) with granular permissions, version history, auditing, and controlled
sharing.
Phase 2 (Optional / As Needed): Add Records Management and Specialized
Storage
• Laserfiche for official records retention, workflows, audit trails, and defensible disposition
aligned to Utah retention schedules.
• Egnyte for engineering teams that benefit from file-server-like mapped drives in Windows
File Explorer.
• Egnyte secure backup (if selected) to provide an additional built-in recovery layer.
Benefits
• Aligns with MSD’s existing, supported platform and security standards.
• SharePoint provides strong collaboration features, permissions, versioning, and audit
logs.
• Includes layered security protections at no additional cost (SentinelOne, Action1, Intune)
under MSD’s management.
• Provides a clear path to compliant records management through Laserfiche when
needed.
Limitations and Risks
• Users will transition from Google to Microsoft tools (training and change management
may be required).
• File migration requires planning to preserve shared permissions and organize content
effectively.
• Laserfiche adds cost but is purpose-built for records retention and lifecycle automation.

Recommendation
The MSD IT Staff recommends Option 2 using a phased approach. Begin with Microsoft 365
(email and Office), SharePoint for file storage, Barracuda backups, and MSD’s included
security protections (SentinelOne, Action1, and Intune) for an estimated total of
approximately $83 per month per user. This approach quickly establishes a strong security
baseline, reduces operational risk, and aligns the City with MSD’s supported environment.
Once the City’s files are organized and staff are comfortable in the new system, Laserfiche
can be evaluated and added for the subset of documents that require formal records
management features such as retention automation, audit trails, holds, workflows, and
defensible destruction.
Implementation Considerations
1. Inventory and classify files: Identify what is working material vs. official records.
2. Design shared sites and permissions: Create SharePoint/Teams sites by department
and project with least-privilege access.
3. Migrate content: Move files in a structured way, maintaining key folders and shared
access.
White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 5
4. Training and adoption: Short, role-based training for staff and elected officials (email,
document sharing, searching).
5. Backup validation: Confirm backup coverage and conduct a test restore.
6. Records management roadmap: Define when and how Laserfiche will be used for official
records and retention schedules.
Fiscal Impact
Option 1 increases monthly subscription costs from approximately $6 per user to
approximately $30 per user. There would be a cost to secure third party support. Option 2
(recommended, Phase 1) is approximately $83 per month for the combined Microsoft 365
and backup/security approach described above, with Microsoft 365 licensing. Costs may
change based on the number of users and selected services. This would allow for either a
third-party solution provider or MSD support. Depending upon the number of members
selecting this option an MSD IT support position may need to be added.
5. DADU COMMITTEE UPDATE
Council member Linda Price said the DADU Committee met and discussed the ADU
Plan as well as the Moderate Income Housing Plan. She said if they were to discuss allowing
an accessory dwelling unit above a garage, that would help with the moderate income
housing component.
The Council discussed setbacks, public utilities and the effect the DADU’s may have on
the service providers.
Council Member Tyler Huish said there is a proposed HB477 this year that if passed, all
cities will have to adopt detached accessory dwelling units. He said the committee is still
discussing the service issues. He said the committee is looking at detached accessory
dwelling units, building a detached garage and with a DADU above it and continue to use
existing zoning rules to determine the count and volume. They want to see what kind of
impact that would have. Another item is potentially amending the land use to allow for single
room rent for maybe ADU’s that are out of compliance. Look for webpage information on
FAQ’s. He recommended hanging the DADU Committee to a Moderate Income Housing
Committee which would allow for a broader view of these issues.
6. DISCUSS FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
• Alta View Crosswalk.
• Vacancies on Planning Commission
• Building Use Agreement w/White City Water District Agreement
7. CLOSE WORKSHOP MEETING

BUSINESS MEETING
White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 6
1. WELCOME AND DETERMINE QUORUM
Mayor Perry stated a quorum was present allowing the meeting to proceed.
2. DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF FINANCIAL REPORT
Dave Sanderson discussed the most recent financial report for the City.
1. Financial Report [Daniel Hoffman, Senior Accountant/Dave Sanderson, Financial
Manager]
Dave Sanderson said the expenses are in line with the administrative fund. He discussed
the Met tax fund, which were enacted a year ago. He said there is no budget for these funds
as of yet so there is just a balance going forward to use in the future.
Daniel Hoffman discussed the MET funds and said the funds are available for the City to
spend as desired.
Mayor Perry mentioned that the State audit documents are late, but the MSD is working
on them.
2. UNIFIED FIRE AUTHORITY REPORT
Chief Ken Aldridge updated the Council on the following:
1. Legislative Update: UFA is actively participating in and monitoring several bills of interest
including:
• HB 269, Ambulance Provider Payment Amendments – This bill amends
provisions regarding ambulance provider payments. It amends provisions related
to the base rate; authorizes the Bureau of Emergency Medical Services to adjust
the base rate each year; amends the base rate to include the cost of medicine;
allows an ambulance provider to collect up to the base rate and mileage rate; and
repeals sunset dates.
• HB215, Political Subdivision Landscaping Authority – This bill restricts a
municipality or county from prohibiting or removal of vegetation on property
located in a wildland-urban interface area.
2. Division Spotlight – Emergency Medical Services
UFA’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division is led by Division Chief Robert Ayres
and supported by a team of eight professionals. The division’s mission is to support
emergency operations personnel by ensuring the delivery of effective, evidence-based
medical care across the communities we serve. EMS fulfills this mission by focusing on
training, medical oversight, provider support, and regulatory compliance that directly
strengthens patient care in the field.
Key areas of emphasis include:
• Comprehensive restructuring of EMS protocols and medication references
• Improving pain management practices in the prehospital setting
White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 7
• Delivering hands-on training focused on Acute Coronary Syndrome and Cardiac
Arrest, reinforcing early, high-quality care when seconds matter
3. February Safety Message – Fires Safety Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Awareness
• Early Warnings for Both Fire and Carbon Monoxide Save Lives: Whether I’s
smoke from a fire or invisible carbon monoxide (CO) gas, having working alarms is
crucial. Fire alarms and CO detectors give you early warnings so you can get out
safely. It’s all about those extra moments that can save lives.
• Regular Testing Keeps Everyone Safe: It’s important to test your fire alarms and
CO detectors regularly and change the batteries as needed. This ensures they’re
always ready to alert you if there’s a problem.
• A Complete Safety Approach: Alarms for both fire and CO work best when they’re
part of a bigger safety plan. That means combining them with things like home
evacuation routes, regular drills, and making sure everyone in the home knows what
to do. This all-around approach helps keep your household safe from multiple risks.
Chief Aldridge also mentioned that Fire School 101 is scheduled for March 27th.
Deputy Chief Mike Bullock, Sandy Fire, said there were 26 incidents in January with
nothing out of normal. He said one of the captains decided to leave so they have promoted
a new captain. They hired two new individuals that are starting camp in the next few weeks.
Also, as a reminder, on February 21 at the Mountain America Expo Center is the Safe Kids
Fair which is free and runs from 9-3 p.m.
3. UNIFIED POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT
Chief April Morse reported there were 88 calls taken last month with 33 of those resulting
in actual case work. She said six calls were handled telephonically, which take place
sometimes when the complainant has requested a phone call. And other times there are
injured officers who can work with light duty work and make those calls. There were nine
public peace events, all isolated, nine public order events and seven domestic violence with
two repeat addresses. She said they’ve added a new addition to the K-9 named Gyro. Victim
Advocate, Carmen Contreras, has been selected by Utah Victim Services Commission for
the Melvin C Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, which is an incredible honor. She said
they have a Department of Justice grant they are working on and the grant is for them to
design curriculum on crisis response training. So, when they are going on mental health
calls how the officers are to respond, a big part of which is de-escalation. As part of that
grant, the curriculum is done so now they’re implementing and because of that grant they
were able to fund two part-time social workers. So a social worker will go out with the officer
in a co-responding model, they’ll evaluate how the training is working, and they’ll also help
them with some of their mental health calls, people in crisis, getting that casework and being
on the scene.
5. CAPITAL PROJECTS UPDATE
Chad Anderson, Assistant City Engineer, updated the Council on White City projects.
White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 8
The design project on Onyx Lane (adding a sidewalk to the north side) and the east end of
Sego Lily Drive projects have federal funding for both projects. These projects are on the
MSD agenda for approval with a start date in spring 2027. There is $385,000 for funding for
the Marble Street storm drain. He said they’ve done a lot of storm drain modeling by sending
a camera down the storm drain and found that the problems with the Marble Street storm
drain were probably fixed with the Sego Lily project. So, with some of the remaining funding
they are proposing to replace five more of the storm drain tops with the ones that have the
steel back to improve reliability, which is going out to bid. The Peony and Larkspur project
has some federal funding and some local matching funds. He is proposing to decline that
grant because there are some problems with the federal funding because it’s adding costs
to the project. So, his proposal is to down the grant and move funds from Marble and move
them to Peony and Larkspur, if there is no opposition from the Council, and do the project
with those funds.
Mr. Anderson said there were two projects funded in FY2026 MSD budget, which
were streetlighting on Poppy Lane and streetlighting along Violet Street from Carnation to
Larkspur that have not been started yet because they are trying to spend down the funds
from before that time.
The Council asked Mr. Anderson to look at the lighting standards that were approved
by the Council prior to starting those projects. Mr. Anderson was directed to bring back a
couple of lighting options prior to the design.

funds would be dedicated to the Give Back to Whtie City projects and only if they cannot be
used would go to the 1300 East property.
Jill Mojabi discussed the Give Back to White City projects and UDOT property
landscape project. She said the Community Council are working hard to raise funds to help
with these projects.
6.3 DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 2026-02-01
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO ENTER INTO A MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE AMERICA250 UTAH COMMISSION AND
WHITE CITY
Mayor Perry said this year is the 250 Anniversary of America so there is a national
and local push to celebrate that. The State is offering additional funds to states, counties,
and other entities in the state to help commemorate and celebrate America’s 250
Anniversary. This came as part of a discussion with the Community Council wanting to utilize
part of that grant money that’s available through the state for their car parade event which
they are planning to move to July this year. There is $1500 available from the State to cities
but the state requires that the funds go through the city. The state also requires the approval
of a resolution and memorandum of understanding; a resolution and logo usage agreement;
and a Utah250 Community Committee be organized.
Mayor Perry suggested the Committee be comprised of the leadership of the
Community Council and include Council Member Neil Mahoney and Rori Andreason, City
Administrator.

identified committee members listed.
6.6 DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 2026-02-04
APPROVING AND IMPLEMENTING THE 2025 WHITE CITY HAZARD
MITIGATION PLAN
Brian Buckhout discussed the updated multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan for
Salt Lake County. It’s a great resource and also outlines mitigation actions and identifies
funding opportunities to support hazard reduction projects. And the primary purpose of this
mitigation plan is to systematically identify actions and tools before disaster strikes. There
are 23 participating cities and towns, two school districts and one community college, which
provides great data. The purpose of this information is to support community planners,
emergency managers, elected officials and the public to make informed decisions about
land use, emergency preparedness, and resource allocation.
There are good benefits from a multi-jurisdictional plan rather than jurisdictions having
their own. One, hazards like earthquakes, floods and wildland fires don’t stop at jurisdictional
lines. So collectively, they want to get that data for everybody, and it helps the society as a
whole. It also benefits collectively for sharing data of risk, which provides for more accurate
plans in a unified effort moving forward. The MSD and the County will be adopting this again,
so everyone is on the same page as far as this plan. It allows jurisdictions and counties to
combine resources, expertise and data.
The MJHMP is under the Stafford Act, which requires a Hazard Mitigation Plan to be
in place for FEMA to provide the cost recovery for a disaster. The plan is 458 pages along
with additional annexes. It’s more of an encyclopedia. The annex for the city is where he
works closely with the City.
Currently, they have 19 hazards identified and are adding five more. For the plan to
be adopted, it must have stakeholders’ engagement. So, the plan was provided to
neighboring communities, businesses, etc. For public outreach, they had digital surveys,
workshops, and public plan reviews. The consultants that helped with this campaign said
they had really good turnout.
MOTION: Council Member Linda Price MOVED to approve Resolution No. 2026-02-
04 Approving the Implementing the 2025 White City Hazard Mitigation
Plan. The motion was SECONDED by Council Member Greg Shelton.
Mayor Perry called for discussion on the motion. There being none, he
called for a roll call vote.

6.8 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING CAPITAL PROJECT
PRIORITIZATION, BUDGET, AND THE SCHEDULING OF COUNCIL BUDGET
/STRATEGIC PLANNING RETREAT
Chad Anderson, Assistant City Engineer, discussed the capital projects for White
City. He said he was generally in support of moving the crosswalk at the Alta View
Elementary. He’d like to make sure it doesn’t block any ADA ramps and move it as close to
a major driveway or intersection as possible. If it ends up at a mid-block ADA ramp, he would
recommend the push button flashing lights.
Mr. Anderson reviewed five drainage issues that are on the proposed capital projects
list for this next year:
• Canal trail extension – detention pond. He discussed this large project and the grant
that was applied for from WFRC. Sandy City has an interest in this as well. It will need
to be a partnership with Sandy City.
• Violet Drive and Larkspur Drive – $30,000
• Violet Drive and Violet Circle drainage – $30,000
• Violet Drive and Buddlea Drive – $50,000
• Opal Circle drainage – $60,000
Mayor Perry discussed holding a strategic plan/budget retreat with the MSD prior to
White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 12
the next meeting.
6.9 DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 2026-02-05
APPOINTING A FINANCE COMMITTEE TO WORK WITH THE GREATER SALT
LAKE MUNICIPAL SERVICES DISTRICT FINANCE DIRECTOR REVIEW
BUDGET REQUESTS AND MADE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE UPCOMING

Daniel Hoffman said the MSD would like more connection with the cities regarding
finances. He recommended creating a White City Finance Committee to work with them
regarding the White City budget. They don’t have a first meeting scheduled yet, but he would
recommend two individuals who feel comfortable working with finances serve on that
Committee.
Mayor Perry said the committee will bring recommendations back to the Council for
consideration. He requested volunteers to be on the committee. With no volunteers he
recommended Council Members Neil Mahoney and Tyler Huish be appointed to the White
City Finance Committee.

7. COUNCIL REPORTS
7.1 MAYOR ALLAN PERRY
Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District/Council of Governments
Mayor Perry said the MSD met twice in January. They are working on getting the
state audit files uploaded soon. There was a project approved to move forward
with the study phase for Emigration and then decide whether to move forward.
Unified Police Department/SLVLESA
Mayor Perry said there are some major concerns right now with HB429 with
White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 13
SLVLESA. In January UPD had a memorial lunch for Officer Doug Barney for 10
years since his passing. The Kearns Logistics Center is nearing completion. And
January meeting of the Council of Governments he accepted a position on a
subcommittee for the Wasatch Front Regional Council Regional Growth
Committee.
7.2 COUNCIL MEMBER TYLER HUISH
Unified Fire Authority/Unified Fire Service Area
Council Member Tyler Huish said UFA had Salt Lake County present the updated
Hazard Mitigation Plan, which they approved. He said he needed to reschedule
the Standards of Cover meeting scheduled for March 2 because he has a conflict.
He said to make sure the Council has completed the open and public meetings
act training. In the UFSA meeting, they did some reorganization and made
several changes.
7.3 COUNCIL MEMBER LINDA PRICE
Mosquito Abatement
Council Member Linda Price said last year they requested a rate increase, which
is a lot of work. As a Board, they retained their current Chair and she is serving
as the Vice Chair. She said they are getting ready for the upcoming season. She
cautioned those who think the mosquitoes won’t be a problem due to the lack of
water. Mosquitoes tend to congregate more densely in areas that do have water,
which includes back yards. She said they are encouraging everyone to clean out
all standing water.
Salt Lake Animal Control –Council Member Linda Price said they also retained
their Chair of the Board, who is the Mayor of Midvale. They are watching two bills
on the hill. HB 87 is an animal crime bill amendment to move the court cases
through the process faster and reduce unnecessary hold times. Also, SB102
which identifies Animal Control Officers as first responders. She said this
Saturday they are having a fundraiser called “Tread Bowl”, which includes five
teams with two animals each on a treadmill. They time them and the faster they
run, the more points they receive.
7.4 COUNCIL MEMBER GREG SHELTON
Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District
Council Member Greg Shelton said they had several new appointments for the
Board. HB429 is a big concern. They are asking everyone to educate the public
on what this bill does. It seems to be affecting SLVLESA and garbage entities.
The bill circumvents the current process on how an entity exits the district. It is a
White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 14
vote of the public rather than a contractual agreement with the municipality and
has to be dissolved that way. This bill puts the ball in the municipality’s court and
allows the municipality to make all decisions in regard to what assets they want to
take with them in a withdrawal. It does not look out for the district’s interest in any
way. Therefore, the District is opposed to this bill as is the UASD.
Paul Ashton said they have talked the sponsor into dropping SLVLESA out of the
bill. He said the UASD will still oppose the bill.
Council Member Greg Shelton said WFWRD is starting the monthly billing. They
will be instituting a convenience fee for payments not made in the cheapest way
possible.
7.5 COUNCIL MEMBER NEIL MAHONEY
Council Member Neil Mahoney reported on the White City Community Council
meeting. He said they are doing a food bank drive February 19, 20, 21 with three
school pickup locations at Alta View Elementary, Eastmont Elementary, and
LaPetite Academy. He said they have a new logo and re-elected Board members.
He said they are looking for one more person to serve on their Board.
8. CITY ADMINISTRAT0R REPORT
