    VII. Public Hearings

    A. Consider Amending the Midvale City Municipal Fee Schedule for the 2023 Fiscal Year
    The City Council will consider updating the Municipal Fee Schedule for the 2023 Fiscal Year (July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023). The Municipal Fee Schedule consolidates and places all of Midvale City’s user fees and charges in one comprehensive document, making it easier for those doing business with the City to understand the costs associated with those services. The Municipal Fee Schedule also allows for City staff to update and more efficiently manage the collection and administration of these revenues.
    B. Consider Final Plat for Prestige Estates #2 to Convert a Duplex into a Twin Home, Located at 481-483 East Acoma Road

    This plat divides the ownership of an existing duplex and allows for an individual owner of each dwelling unit/apartment in the building. After the transaction is accomplished each unit in the building can be individually owned, very much like a condo. This application creates more homeownership opportunities in Midvale.


    VIII. Consent Agenda Consider Minutes of the previous meeting
    IX. Discussion Item

    A. Discuss Midvale City Grant Program During the 2022 Budget Retreat, the City Council expressed interest in developing a formal and open process for providing grants to local non-profit organizations that serve Midvale. Historically, the grants have gone to organizations that have had a long-term record of providing services in Midvale, though there has not been an open application process for organizations to request funding. In order to structure a formal and open program that would allow for non-profit organizations to apply for grants, the City Council will need to provide staff with direction regarding program goals, eligibility, process, and funding.
    X. Adjourn
    The City Council votes to adjourn the meeting.

    VI. Department Reports

    A. Administrative Services Department Report Mariah Hill, Administrative Services Director, will provide an update on the Administrative Services Department.
    VII. Public Hearings

    A. Consider vacating a portion of Center Street Right-of-Way at approximately 100 W Center to allow for a 26 unit Townhome Project. This property is located in the Transit Oriented Development Zone (TOD). Vacating a portion of the Center Street right-of-way will allow the property line to be adjusted to the existing curb line on the north side of Center Street. This will allow the proposed townhome project to be constructed at the required setback line from the curb. Additionally, the City will not retain ownership of an area that has not been used for roadway purposes. Much of the existing parking for the old Joe Morley's was actually under City ownership. Vacating a portion of the right-of-way will bring it down to what exists further to the west, creating consistent roadway ownership.
    B. Consider preliminary subdivision Plan for a 26 unit Townhome development at approximately 100 W Center The preliminary subdivision plan proposes a 26 unit townhome project at the site of the former Joe Morley's restaurant. The proposed project will be very similar to the existing townhome project directly to the south, across Center Street. Each unit will have a two-car garage and will be three stories in height. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the plan and it is now before the City Council for final approval. In addition, the final plat will also be considered for approval. This is later on the agenda.
    C. Consider request to the Midvale Municipal Code to decrease the rear setback from 25 feet to 15 feet. Any resident has the right to apply for an amendment to the municipal code. In this case, Mr. Edwards applied to decrease the distance between a structure and the rear property line on a piece of land from 25 to 15 feet. This potential change would allow homeowners to construct additions where it may not have been possible in the past but it also implies that the neighboring property would have a structure 10 feet closer to them than under current conditions.
    VIII. Consent Agenda

    IX. Action Items

    A. Consider final plat approval for a 26 unit Townhome Plat located at approximately 100 W Center. Final plat approval will be the last step in the approval process for this proposal. If approved, a mylar will be prepared which will be recorded with the Salt Lake County Recorder's Office. This allows the townhomes in the project to be individually sold. Permits for construction may be obtained if the plat is approved.
    B. Consider authorizing the mayor to enter into an agreement with Quicksilver Concrete for the 5-year Concrete Replacement project (2022-2027) Each year money is budgeted for the replacement of curb/gutter and sidewalks. This involves the replacement of damaged sections of curb & gutter or sidewalk. It can also include upgrading sidewalk ramps that do not meet current ADA requirements. The City requested proposals from qualified contractors for the 2022-2027 Midvale City Concrete Repairs Project and received six proposals on April 12, 2022. Quicksilver Concrete was selected to perform the work.
    C. Adopt the updated Board and Committee Assignments for Midvale City Each year the Mayor and City Council decide on individuals who would best represent the City on various boards and committees. The council will select individuals to serve as a member of the Homeland Security Grants Council and as an alternate member on the Jordan River Commission.
    D. Consider adopting the amended and restated ICMA Retirement Corporation Governmental Money Purchase Plan & Trust Adoption Agreement for Midvale City Corporation The ICMA Retirement Corporation has recently changed their name to Mission Square Retirement. MissionSquare has submitted updated plan documents for IRS review. Three changes were made: 457 Deferred Compensation Plan Matching Contributions, In-Service Withdrawals, and Trust Document. The City Council will consider adopting these updated documents.
    E. Adopt the amended and restated ICMA Retirement Corporation 401 Governmental Profit-Sharing and Trust for Midvale City Corporation Same as above.
    F. Authorize the mayor to enter into an agreement with Bonneville Asphalt for the construction of the Jordan River Trail Parkway Repavement Project The City applied for and received from Salt Lake County a CDBG Grant in the amount of $43,359 to repair the Jordan River Trail in Midvale. The City has also budgeted $77,079 from Redevelopment Agency funds for this project.
    X. Discussion Item

    A. Discuss 2022-2027 Pavement Preservation Project Each year the City does as much as we can in the way of street maintenance. This work can include asphalt overlays, milling, slurry seals, crack sealing, road base and subgrade rehabilitation, and more. The City received 4 proposals in response to a request for bids. Morgan Industries was selected to perform the work.
    B. Continued discussion of the Unified Police Department FY2023 Budget
    X. Adjourn

    We put this project out for bid and received six proposals back on April 12. After evaluating the proposals Quicksilver Concrete was selected to perform the work.
    B. Discussion of Effective Date of Newly Adopted District Map On April 19, the City Council adopted a map defining new district boundaries. There has been some question as to the election implications and effective date of the New District Map. To ensure that the Midvale residents know who their city council representative currently is and to clearly establish residency expectations for the 2023 municipal election, council members have asked to discuss the option of taking legislative action that will clarify any ambiguity. State and county laws are silent on this issue, but the City has received some guidance from the Election Division of Salt Lake County Clerk’s Office.
    C. City Council Annual Goals - Review and Update The Midvale City Council’s Annual Goals included 14 goals that cover a wide range of issues. Given that this was the first set of consolidated annual goals that the Midvale City Council had adopted, there has been discussion throughout the year about the need to revisit the list to see how it and the goal setting process can be improved.

These projects are the replacement of the 6” and 8” lines in Center Street between the Trax line and State Street, along with the replacement of the line in High Tech Drive from 7200 South to our north border.

    D. Consideration of Resolution No. 2022-R-18 Adopting a New City Council District Map State law requires that cities create new city council districts after every decennial census.

    D. Proclamation Recognizing Child Abuse Prevention Month Over the last challenging year, families have faced increased stress, and children were left without many of their protective factors. We hope the proclamation can shine a light on this issue in our local communities and serve as a reminder to work towards preventing child abuse. A representative from Family Support Center will accept the proclamation.
    II. Public Comments

    Public comment is taken at the beginning of the meeting for topics that are not included on the agenda. If you wish to speak about a topic that is not on the agenda, go up to the podium when the mayor asks if there are any public comments.

    By law, the city council may only take action on items specifically published on the agenda.

    III. Council Reports

    Mayor and City Council Reports are an important communication tool for the Midvale City Council. Typically, the Mayor or a Council Member will ask the City Manager for information on a subject or issue. They will also provide an update on the meetings or events they have attended.
    IV. Mayor Marcus Stevenson Report
    V. City Manager Report
    The City Manager updates the City Council on a variety of matters including programs, policies, employee recognition, etc.
    VI. Public Hearings

    A. Consideration of Amendments to Title 17 of the Midvale City Municipal Code to address minimum parking requirements within multi-family and mixed-use developments

    The amendment will prohibit extra fees for residents to use minimum parking that must be provided for development. Anything above the required minimum parking for each unit may be charged, but the minimum parking may not be assessed as an extra charge over and above the rent, lease, or sale of a unit.

    B. Consider Redistricting Map Options for the Midvale City Council Districts
    Every ten years, city council districts must be redrawn so that each district is substantially equal in population. This process, called redistricting, is important in ensuring that each city council member represents about the same number of constituents. Redistricting is based on data from the U.S. Census, which was released in August 2021. The Midvale City Council is responsible (per Utah State Code) for setting the city council member districts. Two open houses and a survey were conducted to receive public input. The city council will discuss the results to determine how to redraw the council districts.
    VIII. Consent Agenda
    A consent agenda groups routine meeting discussion points into a single agenda item. In so doing, the grouped items can be approved in one action, rather than through the filing of multiple motions.
    IX. Action Items


    A. Consider Resolution No. 2022-R-11 Confirming the Mayor’s Appointment of Karen Kester as the City Treasurer for Midvale City

    B. Consider Resolution No. 2022-R-12 Approving the Development Agreement for the project located at 1122 East Fort Union Blvd to allow for a proposed 5-story apartment building with structured parking and street-level retail
    This item, if approved, would allow the Mayor, on behalf of the City, to enter into an agreement with the developer in order to develop the property/project as presented.
    C. Consider Resolution No. 2022-R-13 Approving the Purchase of Water Meters and Water Department Inventory

    Approval would allow city staff to purchase additional water meters and water meter inventory.

    D. Consider Resolution No. 2022-R-14 Authorizing Specific City Employees to make Changes to the City’s Public Treasurers Investment Fund Accounts
    Approval would give the City Treasurer and Administrative Services Director authority to make changes, as needed, to the City’s Public Treasurers Investment Fund account.
    X. Discussion Items



    A.
    Discuss Task Order #141.47.100 with Hansen, Allen & Luce for the design and construction management services for 2022 Pipeline Replacement
    In our continuing effort to replace aging and undersized waterlines, we would like to begin the design work on the next two lines on the list. These projects are the replacement of the 6” and 8” lines in Center Street between the Trax line and State Street, along with the replacement of the line in High Tech Drive from 7200 South to our north border. We anticipate that this project will cost us roughly $800,000.
    B.
    Discuss Proposed Amendments to the FY2022 Budget for the General Fund and Other Funds as Necessary

    In order to purchase the water meters and water inventory discussed earlier in the meeting, we need to adjust the current year's budget to include the purchases.

    Fire Restriction Discussion
    Every year, the Unified Fire Authority requests an updated fireworks restriction map from the city. City staff is seeking input from the city council on the current firework restrictions map and will discuss a strategy for the summer if the drought conditions continue.
