CLOSE WORKSHOP MEETING Mayor Perry closed the workshop meeting BUSINESS MEETING 7:22 p.m. 1. WELCOME AND DETERMINE QUORUM Mayor Perry stated the Quorum was present, allowing the meeting to proceed 2. UNIFIED FIRE AUTHORITY REPORT Chief Ken Aldridge updated the council on the following: UFA is preparing for an early and potentially active wildland fire season due to below-average winter moisture and warmer spring conditions, which have created drier fuels and increased fire risk. Crews have already been deployed to assist with out-of-state incidents in Texas and Nebraska. Emergency Operations continues to serve as the backbone of UFA, responding to more than 36,800 incidents last year—an increase of approximately 3%. Ongoing efforts to strengthen staffing, training, and data-driven deployment strategies are helping maintain high service levels as demand grows. UFA’s Community Risk Reduction initiative includes a referral program connecting 911 callers—particularly seniors—with Adult and Aging Services to address underlying needs and reduce repeat emergency calls. Since its launch, the program has generated over 200 referrals, improving outcomes while preserving emergency resources. As traffic increases this spring, UFA emphasizes work zone safety. Drivers are reminded to slow down, stay alert, and move over for emergency vehicles to protect responders operating in high-risk roadside environments. UFA also continues to offer community CPR classes to equip residents with life-saving skills, encouraging public participation to improve emergency response outcomes and community preparedness. The CPR classes are scheduled as follows: 2|Page whitecity.utah.gov  • April 8 (6:00 pm– 10:00 p.m.) – Station 126 • April 25 (9:00 am – 1:00 pm) – Station 111 • May 13d (6:00 pm – 10:00 pm) – Station 124 • June 10 (6:00 pm – 10:00 pm) – Station 2537 2.1 SANDY FIRE QUARTERLY DEPARTMENT Chief Bullock presented the Sandy City Fire Department’s quarterly report, noting a total of 36 calls in March and an overall increase in quarterly call volume from 75 to 98. The department is seeing a rise in both injuries and medical-related incidents. He emphasized the importance of helmet use, particularly in light of an observed increase in e-bike and motorcycle accidents. Chief Bullock also highlighted ongoing community engagement efforts, including volunteer meetings held on the third Wednesday of each month at Station 31, which are open to the public and focused on emergency preparedness. Additionally, an emergency planning fair is currently in development. In response to Council questions, Chief Bullock confirmed that White City is included within Sandy’s service districts and is divided between two districts. The Council discussed the potential for a collaborative interlocal event between UFA and UPD to promote safety awareness, including helmet use and public health education. 3. UNIFIED POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT Chief Morse reported that the department responded to 151 CAD calls, with 37 documented events, including 25 handled in person, 10 by telephone, and 2 online. She noted that citizens have the option to file reports online. Incident types included 10 domestic violence cases—some involving repeat calls and suspected protective order violations—along with 8 public peace incidents and 7 public order (civil) cases. In recognition of Autism Awareness Month, the department has incorporated autism-specific training into its curriculum and authorized personnel to wear awareness patches. Ongoing annual training emphasizes appropriate and informed interactions with individuals on the autism spectrum. Chief Morse also highlighted upcoming and ongoing initiatives, including the April 21 UPD awards banquet and the implementation of targeted traffic enforcement shifts in high need areas, particularly around school zones during pick-up and drop-off times. Additionally, the PIO is collaborating with other UPD contracted cities on a public safety campaign focused on e-bike awareness. In response to Council inquiries, Chief Morse stated that the enhanced traffic enforcement efforts are currently funded through June, with future continuation to be evaluated during the upcoming budget cycle. Council members expressed interest in using this period as a pilot to assess enforcement outcomes, including reports and citations. 3|Page whitecity.utah.gov 4. CAPITAL PROJECTS UPDATE Chad Anderson and Richard Stevens presented updates on current and upcoming capital projects. Richard Stevens was introduced as the new Assistant City Engineer serving White City. He reported that the Transportation Master Plan is progressing with consultant support, and the Planning Department is preparing to launch an online platform to allow residents to view city master plans. Recent project activity includes the awarding of the Marble Street project to replace up to five storm drains. Efforts to develop the canal trail are ongoing; however, a recent grant application was unsuccessful. Staff plan to coordinate with Sandy City to reapply with a more refined proposal. It was mentioned that potential challenges related to stormwater infrastructure, legal considerations, and maintenance, though alternative alignments on White City property may help mitigate these issues. It was also noted that an existing agreement with Sandy City addresses potential property transfer if the trail is developed. Additional active projects include grant-funded sidewalk improvements on North Phoenix Lane and roadway reprofiling on the east side of Sego Lily Drive. Two federally funded projects have been approved and are currently in the design phase. Maintenance and safety improvements are also underway, including pothole repairs on 1300 East Sego Lily, drainage improvements on Larkspur and Peony, and planned adjustments to a school crosswalk. Richard also noted that two traffic signals at Poppy and Violet Circle are funded but not yet initiated.

The Council of Governments will have the opportunity to submit a nominee for consideration to serve on the UTA Oversight Commission. • Unified Police Department/SLVLESA – Mayor Perry said an initial budget increase of 5|Page whitecity.utah.gov  approximately 6% was proposed; however, efforts are underway to reduce this amount, with a target of approximately 3.5%. As SLVLESA has reached its property tax rate cap, any increase on the police services side may create challenges in covering the associated costs. 7.2 Council Member Tyler Huish • Unified Fire Authority – Council Member Tyler Huish reported on a high-quality outreach video on YouTube highlighting operational challenges and community impact. A legislative update was also provided regarding HB79, which grants governmental immunity to first responders and public safety personnel, retroactive for 40 years, helping ensure they can provide aid without fear of legal liability.

Staff continue to monitor temperature and weather patterns to track mosquito activity. With water levels currently at approximately 62% of normal, a drier season is anticipated. While this may limit overall mosquito populations, it can concentrate them in specific areas, increasing the potential risk of West Nile virus. Chemical supplies have been secured, despite an approximate 8% increase in costs, which remain within the approved budget. • Salt Lake County Animal Control – Council Member Linda Price said no meeting was held for the Salt Lake County Animal Control; however, an upcoming fundraising event, “Tats for Cats,” will be held on April 18 from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 6908 S.

Two registration periods will be offered: an early registration for residents who did not receive a dumpster last year, followed by registration for those who participated last year, with a waitlist available. This year, trailers will be staged at Big Bear Park and loaded using a front loader into rear-load trucks to improve efficiency and maximize capacity. The leaf bag program may be discontinued due to contamination concerns; however, residents may still bring yard waste in their own bags for disposal at the cleanup event. 7.5 Council Member Neil Mahoney • White City Community Council – Council Member Neil Mahoney said coordination to include upcoming events in the city newsletter is underway.
