Mark McKendrick, Parks & Recreation, presented a contract with Forsgren Associates, Inc. to complete an on-site existing topography survey that covers the area of the existing arena and the proposed new arena and surrounding area relevant to the project; perform soil samples of the project area; perform coordination for utility relocation, where necessary, to complete the project; and prepare grading, erosion control, water, and sewer plans needed for construction. Commissioner Hurst moved to approve the work order agreement with Forsgren for soil sampling and water testing. Commissioner Clegg seconded the motion. All concurred. 6. APPEAL TO COUNTY COMMISSION - PUD #07-02200016 - STANSBURY VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER. Matt Hilderman, Engineering, stated that the Planning Commission has required Bonneville Development to build a six-foot fence along the back of the Stansbury Village Shopping Center. There were four conditions; they have met the other three and are appealing this six-foot fence. They are also requesting to be able to subdivide one lot into three. Cody Christensen, Bonneville Development, said they are appealing this item because they don't feel this is reasonable. The county signed off on the fencing the way it was proposed during the subdivision approval process. The cost for this change is significant. They have worked through a lot of lighting and water issues and felt the county staff agrees that it is just an unreasonable item to impose upon the owner of the shopping center. He also explained the other conditions that they have met to include lighting issues, noise issues, and already putting up different fencing to work with some of the neighboring home owners. Commissioner Clegg asked about the elevated fence to shield the light at the Kraveres take out window. Cody stated that he believes that this problem has been taken care. If they are allowed to subdivide these lots, lot one would be the front lot and the other two lots would be for buildings. Commissioner Johnson said she felt like these problems have been going on from the beginning, and she felt that the developer has done everything they could to mitigate the problems. She said putting up a higher fence would cause problems because some of the neighbors want a higher fence and some don't. Commissioner Hurst stated that this was zoned commercial before the lots were sold. He asked whether the people knew this when they purchased. Nicole Cline, Economic Development, stated that a grading plan was submitted to, and approved by, the County Engineer. The model homes directly to the west and most of the homes on the south side were built after this project was constructed. Jan Magdalene, stated that she has 2-2 ½ foot tall fence that she paid for; anyone can jump that fence. Before they put it up, they were not told that the property would be raised. She is concerned with the safety of her grandchildren in her back yard. Gerry Willburger, talked about the fence behind Kravers. She asked for three extra panels, and Bonneville allowed her to pay for one extra panel. She would like three additional panels to be put on her back fence. Kids do jump over the fence. Linda Vanwyck, lives southwest of the shopping center. Her property joins on the west and south sides of the shopping mall. She has problems with water drainage, kids jumping the fence, big trucks coming in whose lights shine in her front room. Before the shopping center there was no problem with the water runoff. She asked that this item be tabled until they can get their issues resolved. Commissioner Johnson felt they were talking about two separate issues. Howard White stated that in the last storm they were having to suck the water out of their window wells. The six foot fence is only about 4 feet on his side since the shopping center’s property has been raised. They have no privacy or security. He and Linda asked that this item be tabled until they get their issues resolved. David Crisp stated that they have had no response to their concerns from Bonneville. Commissioner Hurst moved to table this issue. Commissioner Clegg seconded the motion. All concurred. 7. REQUEST FOR A LETTER OF SUPPORT TO EXPLORE FUND-RAISING AND COOPERATIVE EFFORTS WITH OTHER ENTITIES TO CONSTRUCT AN INDOOR RECREATION FACILITY AT DESERET PEAK COMPLEX. Dean Gonzales, International Sports Academy, asked for a letter of support so that he can pursue the possibility of other entities helping to construct an Indoor Recreation Facility at the Deseret Peak Complex. Attorney Hogan asked what other entities they have approached, and he stated Grantsville City, Tooele City, and the School Board. Commissioner Hurst moved to draft a letter of support, in cooperation with other entities, to get funding to construct an Indoor Recreation Facility at the Deseret Peak Complex. Commissioner Clegg seconded the motion. All concurred. 8. SALVAGE EQUIPMENT - SOLID WASTE. Commissioner Johnson read a letter from the Division of Solid Waste requesting that they be able to surplus equipment that is beyond repair. The going rate for scrap metal is between $150 and $200 per ton. She stated that this is just old equipment and can't really be used for anything, it is more valuable as scrap metal. Commissioner Hurst moved to approve the Salvage Equipment at the Solid Waste Facility. Commissioner Clegg seconded the motion. The motion carried. 9. CONTRACT BETWEEN TOOELE COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH, SUBSTANCE ABUSE AUTHORITY AND UTAH DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. Doug Thomas, Valley Mental Health, discussed this with the Commission. Commissioner Hurst moved to approve the Contract Between Tooele County Mental Health, Substance Abuse Authority and Utah Department of Health. Commissioner Clegg seconded the motion. All concurred. 10. CONTRACT WITH ONYX CONSTRUCTION FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW WENDOVER AIRPORT TERMINAL. Commissioner Hurst talked with Jim Peterson who stated that this is the best bid, as well as the lowest bid. Commissioner Hurst moved to approve the contract with ONYX Construction for Construction of a New Wendover Airport Terminal. Commissioner Clegg seconded the motion. All concurred. 11. AGREEMENT WITH GRANTSVILLE CITY FOR TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF THE GRANTSVILLE SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER TO TOOELE COUNTY. Attorney Hogan stated that this agreement has previously been approved by Grantsville City. Commissioner Johnson stated that the facility is in need of expansion and repair, but the county could not do anything to help because Grantsville City owned the building. Commissioner Clegg moved to approve the Agreement with Grantsville City for Transfer of Ownership of the Grantsville Senior Citizens Center to Tooele County. Commissioner Hurst seconded the motion, with the comment that if the building is used for any other purpose, the building will transfer back to Grantsville City. The name will remain the Grantsville Senior Citizens Center. All concurred. 12. PROPOSAL AND CONTRACT WITH INTERMOUNTAIN HELICALPIERS (IHPC) FOR CONSTRUCTION AT THE COUNTY FOOD BANK BUILDING. Commissioner Johnson stated that this company comes in and puts helicalipiers in to support older buildings. The cost is $5,961. Commissioner Hurst moved to approve the Proposal and Contract with Intermountain HelicalPiers (IHPC) for Construction at the County Food Bank Building. Commissioner Clegg seconded the motion. All concurred. 13. PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC WITH RESPECT TO (i) THE ISSUANCE OF SALES TAX REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2008 BONDS IN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOT MORE THAN $3,000,000 AND (ii) THE POTENTIAL ECONOMIC IMPACT THAT THE IMPROVEMENT, FACILITY OR PROPERTY FOR WHICH SUCH BONDS PAY ALL OR PART OF THE COST WILL HAVE ON THE PRIVATE SECTOR. Commissioner Johnson opened the public hearing. Those in attendance were: Nicole Cline, Matt Hilderman, Debbie Winn, George A. McKellar, Dean Gonzales, Linda Vanwyck, Howard Vanwyck, Pam Ayala, Mark McKendrick, Doug Thomas, Kathy Idom, Francine Dea, Brian Davis, Gerry Wilberger, George Wilberger, Sarah Miley, Jamie Belnap, Tye Hoffmann, Eric Johnson, Alex Buxton, Mike Jensen, Frank Park, Valerie Lee, Cody Christiansen, Joyce Fawson, and Blaine Fawson. Francine Dea was concerned that the Commission is going to raise sales tax in order to pay for this. She also wanted to know what would be constructed there. Commissioner Johnson stated it won't raise the sales tax. Alex Buxton, Zions Bank Public Finance, explained that this won't have any effect on the sales tax that's currently being brought in. It utilizes the sales tax as a collateral for the bond issuers. The sales tax will be used as a source of repayment on the bonds. The county currently has two outstanding bonds. They bring in 3.5 million in sales tax revenue. Including the two outstanding bonds, there would still be over a six times coverage ratio to the revenues being brought in to the annual debt service payment when you add them all together. There is no impact on the tax payer. The county has chosen to use that as a source of security for the loan. Francine asked if this money could be used elsewhere, for parks or schools. Commissioner Johnson stated that county money cannot be used for schools. Attorney Hogan stated that theoretically the money could be used for other things, but the Commissioners have chosen to use it for this purpose. Mark McKendrick stated that some of the things that the Deseret Peak Complex has tried to bid on in the past have not been able to come to the county because we didn’t have a convention center for people to hold meetings in. Kathy Idom asked if there is enough revenue at the Deseret Peak Complex to warrant this convention center. She felt that Larry H. Miller would be building something like this eventually. Mark stated that Larry H. Miller has said he would like to use the convention center once it’s built. Commissioner Hurst stated that they look at this as a revenue increaser for the county. Mark stated that the Deseret Peak Complex was never considered to pay for itself. Recreation is something that communities need. Commissioner Johnson stated that there are a lot of community services, golf courses, swimming pools, etc. that don't pay for themselves. The proposed building will be a multiple-use building besides a riding arena. Commissioner Hurst stated there has been talk about the Deseret Peak Complex making money. The county is providing services for the public and providing places for people to recreate and enjoy themselves and looking at some revenue makers that will help offset these costs. Francine asked if they were set on using it for these things. She suggested a boys or girls club centralized in the city that everybody could use. Commissioner Johnson stated that there is a boys/girls club in the Dow James building in Tooele City. This money has been bonded specifically for the purposes listed. Mark stated that in the winter the buildings are booked and they need more room for conventions, meetings, banquets, etc. The current cost to rent some of the buildings at the Deseret Peak Complex is $400 per day. Alex Buxton stated that on May 6 the county adopted a parameters and reimbursement resolution, creating a 30 day protest period which expires June 17, after which the bonds are scheduled to be closed on July 22. George McKellar was very concerned about this. He is representing the senior citizens and a lot of young people in the low income branch. They were concerned that it would increase sales tax, but Mr. McKellar thanked the Commission for straightening that out. He commended them for thinking forward. The Deseret Peak Complex has brought a lot of money into the county, bringing people in for activities. He said to keep in mind that we are at a critical time with gas and to be careful when you effect people in a grocery store. He gave his endorsement on this project. Commissioner Hurst stated that when they first started looking at this, he looked at the Vernal facility. Vernal subsidizes their facility, but they are filling up the motels and restaurants and people buy fuel and convenience foods that more than makes up for the county subsidizing. Commissioner Johnson felt the benefits to the community outweigh the cost to the county. Francine asked if they could have a night meeting for people to comment. Commissioner Johnson stated that they can submit written comments. Commissioner Hurst asked that they wait until the design is prepared so they really see what the plan is. Doug Thomas thanked the county for their foresight. He felt $3,000,000 is pretty cheap for what they have planned. He has had people talk to him about space; they are too big for the Fire Fighters Museum and he felt this would be great for the county. Debbie Winn, Chamber of Commerce, stated that as she takes people out and around the county, without fail every trip that they make they stop at the Deseret Peak Complex, not just the tours coming in but the residents that have not been there to see what is available. Mark does a great job and it is top notch. For the movie that will be shot in Tooele, they asked where they could hold a casting call, the Deseret Peak Complex was the only place. It is a wonderful facility. Nicole stated that conferences in Salt Lake City have to pay $10 per day for parking, even for small conferences. This will bring the tourism dollars to Tooele County. Commissioner Hurst moved to close the public hearing. Commissioner Clegg seconded the motion. All concurred. 14. QUIT CLAIM DEED. Attorney Hogan discussed this with the Commission. A quit claim deed was previously approved that mistakenly included the gravel pit. This corrects the error so the Mathews family retains ownership of the gravel pit. Commissioner Clegg moved to approve the Quit Claim Deed to the AJ Mathews Property and that it be signed by the County Commission. Commissioner Hurst seconded the motion. All concurred. 15. PUBLIC CONCERNS. Linda Vanwyck asked what it meant when the Commission tabled the Stansbury Park issue. Commissioner Hurst stated that to table it means to set it aside. 16. ADJOURN. Commissioner Hurst moved to adjourn the meeting at 4:05 p.m. Commissioner Clegg seconded the motion. The meeting adjourned. Approved June 10,2008 By:_______________________
