B.	Set Date and Time [February 7, 2023 at 7:00 p.m.] for a Public Hearing to Consider Proposed Budget Amendments to FY2023 General Fund and other funds as necessary
VII. Action Items
A.	Consider Ordinance No. 2023-O-01 Amending Chapter 5.08 of the Midvale Municipal Code regarding Business Licenses	Midvale City staff recommend approving amendments to Section 5.08 of the Midvale City Code, Business License Fees and Bonding Schedules. Amending the ordinance will ensure compliance with state code and provide transparency to the public. The business licensing fee schedule explanation does not currently define the purpose intended for the fees being charged. The amendments would specify the usage of the funds for current and future business owners. The Code currently reflects an incorrect fee schedule from years ago. The City Council adopts a new fee schedule every year. The amendment will refer to the most recent fee schedule.
B.	Consider Resolution No. 2023-R-06 Authorizing the City to enter into a Month-to-Month Lease Agreement for the Property Located at 7683 South Holden Street between Midvale City and UGIA	If approved, the resolution would authorize the City to enter into a month-to-month lease agreement with IGIA. UGIA is a non-profit organization whose primary goal is to provide law enforcement training and investigative assistance across Utah specific to gang-related crime and issues. The lease allows full use of the property specifically for Choose Gang Free Advocates programming. The programming will all be administered by UGIA staff with specific requirements for participation in the programming. It is anticipated that the property will be redeveloped as part of the Main Street CDA project area in 2023/2024. This lease is a month-to-month lease which will allow the property to be available once redevelopment conditions are most advantageous. In the interim, the building will be used and maintained by UGIA, which will relieve the City from the added cost of maintaining the property.
VIII. Discussion Item
A.	Discuss General Plan Moderate-Income Housing Element Amendment and State Code Compliance	Midvale City requests an amendment to the General Plan Moderate-Income Housing Element to be in compliance with Utah State Code 10-9a-403 and 17-27a-403 which requires specified municipalities and counties to develop a five-year plan that provides a realistic opportunity to meet the need for additional moderate-income housing. Because Midvale City has a fixed guide-way public transit station the Moderate-Income Housing Element includes a strategy to develop and adopt a station area plan to be in compliance with Utah State Code 10-9a-403(2)(b)(iv).
B.	Discuss Amending Chapter 3.02 of the Midvale Municipal Code regarding Procurement	Updates are needed to assure the City’s procurement processes are efficient, effective, and competitive in the current economy. This includes updates that more accurately reflect processes and technologies as well as updating our exceptions to make our process more fluid. We are also proposing increases to our thresholds to be more in line with the cost of inflation and the State of Utah, which recently increased its thresholds.
C.	Discuss Amending Midvale Code Section 8.10.030 & 8.10.060 - Jordan Bluffs Institutional Controls Ordinance	The purpose of the Institutional Controls (ICs) is to prevent unacceptable human exposure to contaminants that remain on site by ensuring the protection, maintenance, and improvement of physical barriers that have been placed on the various properties. With the continued development of Jordan Bluffs, the Gardner Company has requested amending the ordinance to clarify and further detail the responsibility for compliance with the institutional controls by property owners. The section will require all property to fall under the oversight of a single “Project Association” which will be responsible for the continued compliance with the requirements of the IC. Individual property owners will be primarily responsible for compliance within the Property Owners Association (POA) which will be required to be sub-associations of the Project Association. Therefore, these amendments will require each property owner to be responsible for compliance with the IC associated with its property through the creation of a POA. The Project Association will have oversight and enforcement responsibility over all POAs as well as the sloped areas along the Jordan River and 7800 South and the wetland areas. The City remains the ultimate authority over the protection and proper maintenance of the Jordan Bluffs site and has the authority to make any repairs and recover any associated costs it determines necessary. These changes in no way reduce the overall objective or effectiveness of the ICs, which is to prevent human exposure to contaminants. The changes provide additional levels of accountability to ensure the protection and maintenance of the cap and ensure the overall health safety of the area.
IX. Possible Closed Session		This tentative item is placed on every City Council agenda in case the City Council needs to convene a closed session for one or more of the following discussions:
A.	Closed Session to discuss the Character, Professional Competence or Physical or Mental Health of an Individual
B.	Strategy sessions to discuss pending or reasonably imminent litigation
C.	Strategy sessions to discuss the purchase, exchange, or lease of real property
D.	Discussion regarding deployment of security personnel, devices, or systems
X. Adjourn		The City Council votes to adjourn the meeting.

Midvale City became a member of UPD in 2011 and agreed to adhere to the terms and conditions of the Interlocal Agreement. The Agreement has been amended 8 times by the UPD Board. In August 2022, Midvale delivered a letter to UPD requesting 4 reforms that sought to strengthen cost controls by improving the budget process, establishing a fund balance policy, reviewing the performance of the organizations, an establishing a local branding emphasis.

Union Trax stations. The City applied for and was awarded grant funding through Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) for these plans. There is no cost incurred by the City other than staff time. Station Area Plans are required per State Law and seek to find ways to promote the availability of affordable housing, sustainable environments, and access to employment opportunities. The studies will provide opportunities for public input to shape the plans.
D.	Consider Resolution No. 2023-R-05 authorizing the Mayor to sign Amendment #2 to Grade Separated Crossing Agreement between Midvale City and Utah Transit Authority	In July 2014 the City entered into an agreement with Utah Transit Authority (UTA) which allowed the City to make improvements to certain designated grade-separate crossings. On Feb 3, 2015, this agreement was amended to allow sidewalk improvements on the west side of Holden Street passing under the UTA tracks line. The second amendment allows the City to make improvements to the east side of Holden Street passing under the UTA tracks line The City anticipated biding the improvements this winter with the designs for the City Hall Plaza. Construction of the sidewalk and City Hall Plaza are expected to commence in the Spring of 2023 with completion in Summer 2023.

A.	Consider Resolution No. 2022-R-46 Approving a Development Agreement for property located at 7488 South Casa Blanca Drive	A development agreement for the rezone mentioned in the agenda above (VII.A). If approved, the development agreement binds the developer to certain items regarding the development of the property. It limits the number of units to be constructed, the access point for the development, provides a timeline for development and an expiration if development does not occur within 7 years.
B.	Review and Approval of Resolution No. 2022-R-47 Adopting the Amended Board and Committee Assignment List for Midvale City	Midvale is a member entity to several interlocal, non-profit, and governmental organizations. Each year the Mayor and City Council review and amend the Board and Committee Assignment List to determine who should represent the City on various governing boards and committees for those organizations. The City Council is being asked to consider a mid-year update of the Board and Committee Assignment List so that Nate Rockwood, the new assistant city manager, can be designated as a representative of Midvale City on several boards and committees. It is also recommended that Council Member Dustin Gettel replace the previous assistant city manager on the Animal Services Advisory Committee.
C.

X. Discussion Item
A.	Discuss Amending Chapter 8.09 of the Midvale Municipal Code regarding Wastewater Disposal	South Valley Water Reclamation Facility (SVWRF) recently updated their rules and regulations for its pre-treatment program. The last update was in 2011 and the City officially adopted those rules by resolution. SVWRF requested that the City complete that process for the latest update. After some research, it was found that two chapters of the code currently address wastewater regulations and the relationship with the City and SVWRF. Chapters 13.08 and 8.09. Chapter 8.09 has not been updated to reflect the current regulating agencies and any rule updates that have occurred since 1967. The proposed amendments correct this and any conflict with Chapter 13.08.
XI. Adjourn		The City Council votes to adjourn the meeting.
