Springville City Mayor’s Economic Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes, May 13, 2014 Page 1 of 2 Draft

Roundabout Update—Construction starts May 27th at 1700 East and 400 South. Some of the east 52 side commercial businesses will be affected. Ream’s is concerned that canyon travelers will 53 struggle to find them, so they need a sign indicating that they are still open for business and local 54 traffic will have access. Contract for roundabout construction and pavement awarded to Morgan 55 Asphalt at council meeting this evening. 56

New businesses—old Strong yard, city property north of McDonald’s, has sold, and there is a new 57 business moving in called Rustica. It will be a showroom for high-end wood products/production 58 facilities, such as barn doors and woodwork products. Many developers are contacting the city—59 some confidential, just engineering is aware. Developers are looking at areas outside of the 60 interchange. 61

62 Review of progress on past issues 63

a. Councilman Conover, who is looking into the sign ordinance, is waiting on the Mayor, who is in 64 contact with facilitators and boards. 65

66 b. American Furniture Warehouse— Alan is not here. Trust that purchased the Christensen 67

property, RDA, is ready to go. This could be a good possible site for American Furniture 68 Warehouse. 69

70 c. We should have a concept to maximize RDA value by the end of the year. The tax entity 71 members are on the board. The city needs to maximize the money investment from the RDA. 72

73 d. Update on Larry H. Miller Theaters—Mayor Clyde called but received no response. Mayor 74 Clyde contacted an associate, the legal counsel for LHM. When he asked 2 years ago, LHM 75 was not ready to build a location in Springville. 76

77 e. Real Estate property near the interchange, owned by Boyer and the LDS church, needs 78 development. The EAC needs to spearhead this project. The owners are more interested in 79 selling now. The city/EAC can help by utilizing the large study paid for by the LDS church. The 80 debate is whether a walkable community dependent upon a future UTA FrontRunner stop is 81 feasible in Utah’s auto centric culture. A new interchange for Mapleton/Spanish Fork is being 82 vetted. All projects depend on economic development. Springville Main St. has failed the UDOT 83 examination meaning the intersection at Main St and 400 South inhibits rather than facilitates 84 traffic flow. 85

86 Assignments 87 City staff will prepare presentations for EAC meetings in the future to encourage the commission in its 88 objectives. Possible projects include the 4th south corridor, I-15 interchange, museum district and new 89 business incentives. Staff will lay out several months of presentation and deliver to Mike Snelson. 90 91 Councilman Conover assigned to present a PowerPoint/sales pitch/story of Springville. 92 93 Final Comments 94 Planning Commission had a presentation from Farmington about their development called Station Park. 95 96 Springville City brand needs a new symbol, but a tag line and a story first. A style guide for the whole city 97 will unify the city identity. 98 99 Chamber has revitalized the planter boxes. Mrs. Giffing and the Springville High School FFA, will plant 100 the boxes. Sunroc supplied the paint and Merit Academy painted the boxes. 101 102 Rod welcomed Jennifer Grigg, who will be taking minutes, and Kim Rayburn to the meeting. 103 The next meeting of the Mayor’s Economic Advisory Commission will be on June 10th, 2014, 7pm. 104 105 Mike Snelson will send out a weekly reminder. 106 Adjourn meeting at 8:15 p.m. 107

4 Committee Members in attendance— Mayor Wilford Clyde, Mike Snelson, Shirlene Jordan, Kevin 5 Jennings, Councilman Craig Conover, Rick Salisbury, Alan Shurtliff, Dan Bott, 6 7 Staff in attendance included—City Administrator Troy Fitzgerald, City Operations Officer Rod Oldroyd, 8 Deputy City Recorder Jennifer Grigg 9 10 Committee Members absent—Clair Anderson, Elizabeth Elder, Kristian Kallaker, Ruth Morrison 11 12 Call to Order 13 Chair Mike Snelson brought the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. 14 The minutes from March were handed out tonight. The May and June minutes will be available in July. 15 16 City Update 17 City Operations Officer Rod Oldroyd, reporting on upcoming events, announced that the grand re-opening 18 of Funfinity is Wednesday, June 11, 2014 at 5pm. The store remodel is amazing. Quite a bit of business 19 comes from their warehouse and online. Rick Salsbury, owner of Legends Motorcycle Emporium, will talk 20 about the Legends grand opening on Saturday at 1pm, right after the parade. The remodeled building is a 21 beautiful facility. Holiday Inn Express & Suites Springville 1502 N 1750 W, Springville, UT 84663 Phone: 22 (801) 489-5000, will be opening on June 26, 2014, Thursday. Mayor Clyde has organized a sign 23 ordinance committee. The Strong Yard is being purchased and remodeled for Rustica Hardware, a 24 leading supplier of Barn Door Hardware, for interior design. There is a Snowie shack at the Splash Pad. 25 Springville City issued 14 business licenses in May however they were home-oriented businesses. 26 27 City Administrator Troy Fitzgerald reiterated that Solicitors need a Springville Business license unless 28 invited into the home. A solicitor must display an id badge with Springville logo/lanyard issued by the City 29 at all times. Kirby Vacuum qualifies as a business with an invitation, so they do not need a solicitor badge. 30

31 New Business City Administrator Troy Fitzgerald acknowledged new business interest is here, but he 32 cannot disclose details. Inquiries involving both manufacturing and retail businesses interested in site 33 selection this month include a large shopping center. Several possible new businesses are seriously 34 investigating Springville locations. Interest in Springville at the Convention was high. 35 36 Mayor Wilford Clyde commented on new business possibilities. He had a meeting with the Larry Miller 37 Theatre group, (LHM), and they agree with him, that South County needs an LHM movie complex. 38 However, LHM started a new project on the Geneva property, so they are at least a year away from 39 starting a project in Springville. Mayor Clyde outlined Springville’s advantages over Spanish Fork: 40 41

1. The traffic flows north, from Spanish Fork, Salem and Payson, which provides better visibility on 42 the right side of the freeway in Springville. 43

2. The huge success of Wal-Mart draws traffic from south Provo as well. 44 3. As first anchor, Springville could offer tax incentives over Spanish Fork. 45 46

Chairman Snelson asked, “What can we do to keep Springville at the top of the list?” 47 48

Springville can keep LHM informed of business development in Springville, such as the Legend's 49 Motorcycles Emporium. Mayor Clyde has developed contacts with LHM. LHM succeeds at a ratio 50 of 2:1 over Cinemark in other markets such as Lagoon and Thanksgiving Point. 51

52


Springville’s Core Ideology Chairman Snelson emailed the agenda for today’s presentation—53 discussing 3-5 ideologies or core values for Springville. When the Commission decides on a set of core 54 values, City Administrator, Troy Fitzgerald, will present a plan to the City Council. This method is drawn 55 from management books by Jim Collins, who has a website and business books. The Commission 56 divided into three groups to narrow down core values/ideas that are integral to Springville as a city. After 57 15 minutes, each group will present their list of core values to the whole Commission. Thank you to Troy 58 for generating this presentation. 59 60

Discussion of Core Values 61 62

1. Shirlene, Dan, Kevin 63 family, entertainment, activities, schools, religious, clean water, air, small town feel, job 64 opportunities, business growth for tax base, outdoor recreation, service opportunities 65

66 2. Mike, Rod, Craig 67 La Casita, outdoor recreation, sports, trails, canyon, small town atmosphere, ART community, 68 location convenience to retail, work accessibility 69

70 3. Mayor Clyde, Rick, Alan 71

Education- will to fund all communities, close to BYU, build library 72 Integrity – people act with integrity 73 Lifestyle – canyon parks, trail, Art Museum, Theatre, Library, Americana Main St 74 75 Rita Wright brought a visitor who likes Springville because there is an authentic Main St feel. Do Family 76 values conflict with Economic Development? West fields are empty because residents want that small 77 town feel. The pressure for West Fields property owner to sell will come from outside economic 78 influences. Commercial Development is needed to create jobs, to avoid becoming solely a commuter 79 town/bedroom community. 80 81 Springville wants the downtown to grow, but how can we make it work? For example, look at the business 82 growth after the zoning code overhaul in 2003. Even though there are many new businesses, only 83 Walgreen's and Jimmy John’s have built a new building in the empty spots. We probably won’t get a 84 Target, but we don’t want another Pawn Shop. Should Springville pursue an Art store, since we are the 85 Art City? What can we do to continue growing? 86 87 Main Street parking continues hamper business. A proposal 30 years ago to redevelop Main St to include 88 parking in the back lacked Main Street business support 89 90 What are our values? Does Springville believe in Economic Development at all costs? Orem State Street 91 is not our ideal. Our diverse neighborhoods mean we have different ideals, which is a good thing. 92 93 Narrowing down these suggestions to the City Core Value Plan— 94 95 Final List 96 97 1. Americana, family, small town, religious 98 2. Art 99 3. Education, art, library, voting 100 4. Location, convenience, recreation 101 102 Review of progress on past issues 103 104 Assignments 105 Alan Shurtliff reported that Furniture Warehouse isn’t interested in building in Utah right now. 106 107 Final Comments 108 Chairman Snelson thanked everyone for their input and attendance and will send out an email reminder. 109 Adjourn meeting at 8:15 p.m. 110

SPRINGVILLE CITY PARKS & RECREATION BOARD

Minutes of the meeting held on June 26, 2014

Community Services Building – 443 S 200 E– 6:30 p.m.

CALL TO ORDER: Meeting called to order by Gary Hooper at 6:35 p.m.

APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES: Julie Kappas made a motion to approve the amended minutes of the meeting

held on May 22, 2014. Lisa Willey seconded the motion. Vote was unanimous in the affirmative.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Roundabout construction at 400 South 1300 East has started. Construction will be

finished before school starts. Julie has heard complaints from people who have to use alternate routes to get to

their homes. Lisa commented on what the Salt Lake County ZAP tax has done to improve the Hogle Zoo and

the Tracy Aviary. One tenth of one percent is what the tax is.

PARKS UPDATE: Alex Roylance reported that the pond at Bartholomew Park has water in it. Unfortunately

there is no way to let the water out. City has put up fencing and no trespassing signs to keep people out because

it is still a construction site. Pond is fed from spring water. Tomorrow the proposals are due from architects for

the park design. Bid package went out for the contractor’s monument. Contractor representatives have

committed to having $50,000 to Alex by next week. Sod is doing well in the community park so Alex is

allowing one of the soccer groups to play a few days in July.

ART CITY DAYS REPORT: Alex showed a PowerPoint presentation. Carnival proceeds down 5 percent.

Springville City received $21,112 from City of Fun carnival.

Julie noticed a lot of people with children out in the road during the parade. Gary suggested putting people on

horses along the parade route on the edge of the road. City brought in about $2500 this year in booth rentals.

We will get a report from the tax commission but it will be a few months. Most vendors were happy. There

were under 90 parade entries. Lisa offered to survey main street businesses about Art City Days.

RECREATION UPDATE: Baseball/softball going well. Started signups for soccer and football.

SPRINGVILLE CITY PARKS & RECREATION BOARD

Minutes of the meeting held on July 31, 2014

Community Services Building – 443 S 200 E– 6:30 p.m.

CALL TO ORDER: Meeting called to order by Gary Hooper at 6:36 p.m.

APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES: Lisa Willey made a motion to approve the amended minutes of the meeting

held on June 26, 2014. Marc Penrod seconded the motion. Vote was unanimous in the affirmative.

PUBLIC COMMENT: A question was asked about the status of the LDS church baseball diamonds on 400

South and 950 West. The LDS church maintains the field, but currently not too many wards/stakes play

baseball on it (it’s not the most popular sport right now). Other teams play there. Alex thinks it’s the Hobble

Creek West Stake that schedules the fields.

New board member David Goodman introduced himself to the group.

PARKS UPDATE: Bartholomew Park: Logan Simpson Design Inc. was hired to draft the design plans for

Bartholomew Park. The request for proposals went out for Construction Management General Contractor

Services. The low bid was the same company that built the splash pad (J. Lyn Roberts & Son,) This item will

be on the city council agenda for approval. Some elements for the park include more smaller pavilions (as

opposed to one larger pavilion). On the west side of the pond there’s now a big berm hillside. Perhaps an

amphitheater would work well there. There could be slides and playground things on the other side of the hill.

The design firm will design the whole park, then we’ll decide how much we can do for phase 1. Our goal is to

have construction done by May 1, 2015 (winter weather pending). $1 million has been budgeted. We need a

parking lot connecting to River Bottom Road, large enough for a turn-around for emergency vehicles. We plan

making the 2900 East side of the park the main entrance. Residents don’t want traffic through their

neighborhood.

Contractor’s monument: Large stones for the monument have been delivered to the parking lot. We will

choose from those stones to build the monument. Some stones have a bright red color (the stones came from

Pelican Point). A fund raising committee has raised $60,000 for the monuments, and there is still funding

coming in for the playground, plaques, etc. It won’t cost the city any money for these features in the park. We

want this completed by September 20, 2014 in time for Springville Heritage Days. Excavation work will begin

next week.

Youth Camp at Jolley’s Ranch: Rick Newton is continuing to work with Ken Creer on the youth camp. They

are still slowly working on progress there. The water line will be going in next very soon.

400 South roundabout needs the landscape design done. The project is scheduled to be completed by August

15th

(school starts August 19th

).

The Folkfest is going this week, and things are going well. It was well attended last night.

Community Park: The new grass is holding up well.

NEW PLAYGROUND OPTIONS FOR CHILD PARK:

Five options (renderings) were presented, and opinions and feedback were shared by the board.

Kim asked the board to take a look at all the parks in general. There’s a really good crew this year and the

parks are looking the best they have in years.

RECREATION UPDATE: Swimming Pool: Just in the past few days, it has come to our attention that several

individuals are giving (and charging fees) for private swimming lessons during public swim time. Some

individuals doing this are in the pool for three hours at a time. We see three options:

1. Implement new policies (see attached);

2. Post a sign stating this is not allowed (sample attached);

3. Do nothing.

How should we handle groups or situations like this? There are Scout groups swimming to complete

requirements for merit badges. The city library has similar issues, where a room is reserved and a person/group

is charging participants to attend a seminar. Chuck’s team spoke to every public pool in the county, and they

all regulate it with a fee structure, or with a posted sign (see #2 above). Some individuals have been kicked out

of other cities’ pools doing the same thing. The pool staff wants to regulate this issue. These people are taking

space in public open swim time.

Should there be a city-wide umbrella policy? Do we allow a for-profit business to operate in the pool or park in

direct competition to the city programs? There are soccer (and other sport) coaches frequently using the city

parks for free, yet charging participants for clinics.

At the library, can a person sit in the public library and charge to tutor a child?

In the city parks, can soccer/sports clinics & leagues use the park to run their clinics?

If something happens at a city facility, could the city be dragged into a legal issue?

These practices cannot go unregulated. We need to use a contract, or prohibit these types of things city wide.

The pool staff would like to see the ‘sign’; in the alternative these private instructors should be governed by the

pool rental policy. The board sentiment is to use the posted sign.

Make this an action item for the August 2014 meeting.

The sign up for the August 28th

meeting/BBQ was circulated.

Julie & Steve Kappas were honored recently for all their years of service to the community recreation programs.

ACTION ITEMS:

No action items

The minutes from the May 13, 2014 and June 10, 2014 meetings were reviewed. Mr. Beck made the motion to 23 approve the minutes. Mr. Crandall seconded. All were in favor. 24 25 Mr. Hotchkiss welcomed Mr. Mark Breitenbach from Central Utah Water Conservancy District. 26 27 Mr. Stapley stated that he took the Water Board’s recommendations from the Bartholomew Pond fieldtrip to City 28 Council. The City Council decided to leave the small pond to be part of the park plan. The water is pretty low in it 29 right now. The large pressurized irrigation pond has been drained on purpose. We were losing water around the 30 outlet structure. Yesterday the contractors were out there digging along the outlet. There was supposed to be 3” 31 minus rocks, but they found 18” rocks. The contractor is now fixing that and RB&G is designing it right now. The 32 Waterman gate that was installed at the structure was also not adjusted correctly and it was leaking. 33 34 Mr. Breitenbach presented a Power Point of the Mapleton Springville pipeline project update. He talked about the 35 storage tank they are building at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon that will be the Mapleton Springville pipeline, 36 what we’re doing along the lateral under phase 2, and what we’re doing along Hobble Creek and how we interface 37 with the PI pond. He explained the Utah Lake drainage basin water delivery system. Utah Lake System 38 Mapleton/Springville regulating tank is being built at US 6 and US 89 Highway junction near the mouth of Spanish 39 Fork Canyon. It is a 6.7 million gallon tank. Operating pressure will be about 65 pounds through Mapleton. In 2007 40 we piped about 5.7 miles of the canal. By piping the canal, there is more cfs than before. Crews are currently 41 working on pressurizing the water in the pipe. He explained the three different pipes going into the tank and what 42 they do. One pipe brings in high pressure water from Monk’s Hollow. It goes through a pressure reducer into the 43 tank. There will be a 54” HTP outlet to the Mapleton/Springville pipeline. Then there will be a 42” drain to an 44 infiltration basin by one our flow control structures. If the irrigation companies have a mismatch in water there is 45 about a 20 feet of regulatory vertical elevation in the tank that if the irrigation companies were to spill any water that 46 water would go into the infiltration basin. The main reason for the basin is for the pigging facility up Spanish Fork 47 Canyon. A 60” pig can be put in the pipe to clean out silt. Pigging is the process to scrub and scour the slime in the 48 pipe that can decrease the capacity. The tank is 20 acre feet, which is equivalent to 6.7 million gallons. It is 49 rectangular, about 100 x 200 feet. The presentation showed pictures of the tank and Mr. Breitenbach explained the 50 different compartments of it. The tank will be covered with dirt. The tank has a center wall with two stainless steel 51 tubs for sleeve valves. There is also an overflow weir. There are 66 concrete piers to support the roof. The roof is 52 sloped, the bottom is sloped. The floor is 12 inches thick. Five of the fifteen pours of concrete for the roof have 53 happened. Next spring the concrete canal in the Spanish Fork Canyon will be demolished and Spanish Fork River 54 water will no longer come to Springville. Strawberry Valley water will only be used, going through this new pipeline 55 system. Phase 2 is the pipe that will go into Springville. COP Construction is doing the work. They couldn’t do any 56

work in the summer that would interfere with the delivery of water. Contractors have run fiber optic lines for six 1 miles into the ULS field office and runs into the turn out that will be constructed for Springville, so we can have 2 automated control of the valves on the pipeline. All of the delivery, even down to the 1” garden hose, will be 3 displayed on the internet. Mapleton Irrigation co. will end up giving them a volume based on their shares and they 4 can track how much water they’ve used versus their shares. It’s going to be a major change in how they operate. 5 Then to run the system in certain locations, they’re running 480 volt power, so they’re laying that in the same trench. 6 At the end of the canal there are two stand pipes to back up the water, where the head gate is for Springville Irrigation 7 Company and the other head gate drops down to Hobble Creek. The big stack, the 54” pipe we’ll take down and 8 hook onto the 54” there with a 42” and run it on down across Hobble Creek. The small stack is on a 36” pipe of 9 Mapleton Irrigation Co. that we installed that has some Mapleton creek water and some Springville water that. 10 We’re going to take the stack off but its function will still be there. It’s actually going to be imbedded into a large 11 structure that will be there, one chamber that will have the same weir hide and back the water up for that 36” and 12 spill. So basically there’s a flow control structure and the meters will go in at that location. 13 14 State department of wildlife services are worried about the brown trout in Hobble Creek. They don’t want any work 15 done between Oct 1st and Nov 15th. The contractor will need to get in and detour the creek in the bottom before 16 October 1st and work around it. 17 18 Mr. Breitenbach reviewed the plans for the river bottoms area. The two old 27” pipes that were built in 1918 go right 19 under the barn on the Tibbles property. Somehow the Bureau didn’t get the right-of-way recorded in that area. The 20 plan is to offset the pipes and abandon the old pipes. The overcrossing that goes over Hobble Creek will be 21 demolished. The contractor has started to build the abutments for a 50 foot bridge, at the end of Witney Lane. The 22 Irrigation Company replaced a 27” pipe with a 36” pipe at ditch 1. The CUP 42” pipe will hook onto that. Mr. 23 Breitenbach explained how the detention pond in the Rivers subdivision was deeded over to Springville City, where 24 the turn out will be built. The piping going across Hobble Creek will break into two pipes; one to Springville 25 Irrigation Company through ditch 1 that will not be pressurized, then the other will go to Springville City without a 26 pressure reducer. It will have about 100 pounds of pressure. It is CUP’s understanding that the City has the 27 possibility of an upper secondary pond, a little higher in elevation. This water could go up to that pond with the 28 pressure, but there are design considerations that will need to be addressed. There will also be a 20” pipe installed 29 for the irrigation company to hook into the new structure at Island Ditch so they can bring SPV water into ditch 1 if 30 needed. Mr. Breitenbach reviewed the agreement made between the Bradford’s and the Tibbles concerning the 31 bridge. 32 33 CUP has been putting water into Hobble Creek at the 300 S 400 E valve station, about 12 cfs. There is also a turn out 34 on 800 South, but Springville doesn’t have plans to use that. There is no pressure reducer in that facility. There is a 35 36” ductile iron pipe going across 400 East that was installed during the 400 E CUP project, so when the pressurized 36 irrigation line goes down 800 South next year, the road won’t have to be cut. Mr. Breitenbach was excused from the 37 meeting. 38 39 Mr. Stapley showed a picture of the upper Spring Creek tank, where the fire was a few weeks ago on July 25, 2014. 40 None of the water collection area was affected. The fire went down the mountain to start with. Mr. Barker explained 41 that due to the fire, we lost all power and communications to the tank. The booster pump to the chlorinator was lost. 42 The power was restored pretty quickly, but we’re still working on the SCADA. All the electronics and duct work 43 were burned and ruined. We have pulled multiple samples in the past few weeks and the water has remained clean. 44 Mr. Stapley drew a diagram of the tank and fire hydrants on 2080 East, explaining the problem the fire fighters were 45 facing with water pressure and draining the tank. Mr. Beck asked what precautions are being taken to protect the 46 other tanks from fire. Mr. Barker reported that concrete boxes will be used to protect the SCADA. This fire opened 47 our eyes on the City’s vulnerability with tanks and wildfires. Mr. Hotchkiss asked if the kids will be responsible. 48 Mr. Stapley did not know. He said the one helicopter with the snout runs about $90,000 per day. And that was just 49 one of six aircraft fighting the fire. The City is liable for some of that because it started on City property. 50 51 Mr. Crandall moved to adjourn. Mr. Hutchings seconded. 52 53 Adjourn – This meeting adjourned at 7:31 a.m. 54 55 56
