Below is a concise summary of the formal actions the council took, with outcomes and key details.

Votes at a glance

- Ordinance 2024‑005 (text amendment clarifying Duplex Overlay Zone language): Approved unanimously. Council voted to amend section 17‑7‑1.13 and related definitions to remove a requirement that a duplex be owned by a single owner and to clarify duplex definitions for implementation. Outcome: ordinance adopted (vote: unanimous).

- State Street zoning/use table amendment (retail tobacco specialty business language): Tabled. Councilors discussed removing retail tobacco specialty businesses from the proposed amendment and determined the item needed a written amendment before they could approve it; the proposal was tabled to a future meeting for cleanup.

- Ordinance 2025‑007 (allow council to determine planning commission stipend): Approved unanimously. The ordinance removes a fixed $20 stipend from code and replaces it with language that the stipend is determined by the city council through budgeting.

- Resolution 2025‑R‑16 (Salt Lake County election services agreement): Approved unanimously. The council authorized the mayor to execute an agreement with Salt Lake County to provide election services for the 2025 municipal election; the agreement includes a per‑entity share of new administrative fees and a ranked‑choice software license cost to be allocated among participating jurisdictions.

- Resolution 2025‑R‑17 (water, sewer and stormwater revenue bonds parameters): Adopted unanimously. The council adopted a parameters resolution authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds to fund a public works facility expansion; the adopted parameters set a maximum aggregate principal for the series, a maximum interest rate ceiling and a maximum maturity (the resolution delegated final terms within those parameters to city officers and set a public hearing for May 20, 2025).

- Resolution 2025‑R‑18 (sales and franchise tax revenue bonds parameters): Adopted unanimously. The council approved parameters for a second bond series to fund park acquisition and Center Street improvements along with related infrastructure; the resolution set a maximum aggregate amount and delegated final terms and sale authority within the stated parameters.

- Resolution 2025‑R‑21 (second payment to the Community Renewable Energy Agency, CREA): Approved unanimously. The council authorized Midvale to make the second required CREA payment—$10,942.10—conditioned on an agency policy amendment allowing Midvale to become a voting member. The payment will be taken from funds previously budgeted in the mayor’s discretionary account; the council will still receive an ordinance with final program design before residents are enrolled.

- Resolution 2025‑R‑19 (firework restriction map for 2025): Approved unanimously. The council adopted a 2025 fireworks‑restriction map that keeps in place the river‑corridor and park restrictions and the Jordan Bluffs buffers adopted previously; staff said the map must be adopted annually and changes this year were minimal.

- Resolution 2025‑R‑20 (ESRI GIS enterprise software agreement): Approved unanimously. The council authorized a three‑year enterprise license for ArcGIS and related enterprise services and training at an annual cost the city estimated at $40,900.

Context and procedural notes: The council also approved a consent agenda (minutes and a public hearing date for the FY 2026 tentative budget). Public comment and presentations preceded the votes; the council used roll calls to record unanimous outcomes for the adopted ordinances and resolutions. In several cases staff or councilors said more details (for example, the retail tobacco use table and the CREA program design) will return to the council for further action before implementation.

What’s next: The council set May 6, 2025 for a public hearing on the FY 2026 tentative budget and scheduled bond‑related public hearings for May 20, 2025. Staff will return with cleaned language for the retail‑use amendment, finalize CREA program design language before any resident enrollment, and bring a final RDA loan term sheet for Honeysuckle Coffee Co. back to the RDA for approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Midvale City Council Meeting 4-15-2024","oneSentenceSummary","At its April 15 meeting, the Midvale City Council approved multiple code changes, delegated bond‑sale parameters and authorized administrative agreements while tabling a proposed retail‑use change for further cleanup.","taxTitle","Midvale , Salt Lake County, Utah","taxId",7393,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6603500,"Redevelopment agency reviews $250,000 Honeysuckle Coffee Co. loan proposal for Main Street site",156,7944000,8100000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000099-643d60a23a26dd819c2453da45a7de30&start=7944&end=8100","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000099-643d60a23a26dd819c2453da45a7de30/thumbnail_7944000.jpg","/articles/6603500/Midvale/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Redevelopment-agency-reviews-250000-Honeysuckle-Coffee-Co-loan-proposal-for-Main-Street-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603500-95b0ad1bafbfa9a39eb40117bc02acf1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770520795&Signature=G1~yldjBnhmf55sNXHcytTqfkMmEFeZJRigvRVixecnVCS9YquLGZinhN0p70mxr3IY-wreFkaBQmfLon-ymu95d2fZQDtQkAidfhaiGDxTblE1Ndl-6qwUGIGnb9sG6UODIG9FW2NS8oprGxumvose2Dex2fTaY2U7lZti3X1VvFoX3IOw9ArBigwgizJXtE3JJUG-g98ILU~-NCgROg-35tL0yJZqxO72a3FfYqtCubLkah0UugYCxjoYKoNcelSItFSKNlnVP38bG67bY93uom66SqVy6U1NdddqaUQrnu1HIaPQvCCMD4t~~P-9yyB2Ut6V64MK8M1VMuxHGig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of Midvale City reviewed a loan proposal on April 15 from Honeysuckle Coffee Co. to convert an existing Main Street house into a third café and bakery location with an attached Carolina‑style smokehouse. The RDA loan committee recommended term‑sheet elements and asked the agency board to take the item to a final vote after collateral verification.

Loan proposal and public‑benefit scoring: The borrower requested $250,000 for build‑out, kitchen equipment and café fixtures. Per the RDA’s business loan program, loans over $25,000 must meet minimum scoring and public‑benefit thresholds; the committee report given to the RDA states the application met the required minimum (60 points) and scored full points in economic impact, adaptive reuse, permanent job creation and street activation.

Projected economic and community impacts: The applicant projects roughly $1 million in first‑year gross revenue across coffee, bakery and barbecue revenue streams and said it will supply baked goods to its other sites and wholesale customers. The proposal anticipates creating multiple jobs: committee materials list a mix of full‑time and part‑time front‑of‑house, bakery and smokehouse staff (the committee’s count included roughly seven full‑time front‑of‑house staff plus bakery and smokehouse positions; exact hires will be contingent on final operations).

Loan terms recommended by the committee: an interest‑free loan of $250,000 for seven years with equal monthly payments beginning on the earlier of the first full month the business opens or Aug. 1, 2025; RDA would require evidence that proceeds were spent for permitted uses and would take collateral. Proposed collateral would include a first lien on specified café and bakery equipment (RDA would accept 40% of equipment’s current market value for collateral calculation after depreciation) and a second position on the borrower’s personal residence for the remaining collateral amount.

Discussion and next steps: RDA staff said they will return with a finalized term sheet after they verify equipment valuation and the amount of equity to take as a second‑position home lien. Honeysuckle’s owners, who operate two existing locations in Sandy and Salt Lake, described their brand as community‑oriented, said they intend to activate an outdoor courtyard with seating, games and a small stage for live music, and emphasized adaptive reuse of the existing building rather than demolition.

Action requested: No final loan approval or disbursement occurred at the April 15 RDA meeting; the board asked staff to return with a final recommendation and a concrete term sheet for vote at a later meeting.","Midvale RDA discussed a $250,000 loan request to convert an existing house and garage on Main Street into a café, bakery and Carolina-style smokehouse; loan committee recommended an interest‑free seven‑year term but final approval will return to the board after collateral details are finalized.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6603504,"Unified Police Department outlines budget process, pledges to stay within 5% preliminary cap",336,2496000,2832000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000099-643d60a23a26dd819c2453da45a7de30&start=2496&end=2832","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000099-643d60a23a26dd819c2453da45a7de30/thumbnail_2496000.jpg","/articles/6603504/Midvale/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Unified-Police-Department-outlines-budget-process-pledges-to-stay-within-5-preliminary-cap","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603504-becd7da33d6853ec9f849fcba86e7c00/orig.mp4?Expires=1770520795&Signature=eKCSklaZ99Ds-zybyIChjXmhVvkWzgUI4-8OqRH9CNUsZz50LWimQk3j5fSWUvOCDiCzWjSvkJwx0tI4UUqbdNgInVmAKCm29RzGmaWoPumsvezxBu2y5Ygyh0GSY-TABFCmxyYwjY5m2kWCjx0ensW3roRDOmaT4vDntj78gBu6RB9VX0~mWa1I~g5HtZKqr71C7o7i2mMsCpUBpm4vKAJrK3laVxQ44vUgHRoudaJQGaRTkKFhqFolu7WV7qZ9kjTeGGZQ5PHfKFFFA8xDGroQE67qBhAIbN7RW1l70aIJjfUaMebgkUGJHrFrVoABaD81GRvc-uraYfobSgVlOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Unified Police Department Chief delivered an update to the Midvale City Council on April 15 about the UPD budget process for the next fiscal year, describing a staged review that he said aims to keep Midvale’s police portion within the Unified Police Department board’s preliminary budget increase maximum (PBIM) of 5%.

Chief Mazarin told council members the UPD began budget work earlier than in prior years to provide cities faster estimates and more time for local planning. He described three phases: commanders submit needs; a second round looks at potential cuts and unconventional ideas (what he called “crazy talk”); and a final phase when finance staff and commanders reconcile the numbers. “The EPD board…came in and said, here’s our preliminary budget increase maximum or PBIM, and we’re gonna put you 5%. That’s your target. Do not go above that. And I made a commitment to the EPD board that I’m not gonna go above that, and I won’t,” Mazarin said.

Why it matters: Police costs are a major component of Midvale’s municipal budget. The chief said the department is sensitive to competing city funding needs and will try to preserve service levels while meeting the board’s constraint.

Timeline and process: Mazarin said UPD expects to present a departmental tentative budget in May and the UPD board will approve a tentative figure in June. He said a final number is dependent on later inputs (insurance, other fees), and that the department would present a figure intended to protect levels of service. The department’s recommended figures would be communicated to the city manager and mayor and, ultimately, to the council through the usual municipal budget process.

Council interaction: Council members thanked the chief and recognized the role of mid‑level supervisors in executing programs. No formal action or vote took place on the UPD budget at this meeting.

What’s next: Chief Mazarin said he will finalize phases and meet with finance staff before bringing a recommended figure to the UPD board and to Midvale officials. The council and city staff will review and incorporate UPD’s numbers as part of the city’s tentative and final budget adoption schedule.","UPD Chief described a three‑phase budget approach and said he committed to the UPD board's preliminary budget increase maximum of 5% while aiming to preserve service levels.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6603508,"Midvale NextGen students pitch 'Zero Waste Utah 2034' plan to city council",823,1021000,1844000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3000099-643d60a23a26dd819c2453da45a7de30&start=1021&end=1844","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3000099-643d60a23a26dd819c2453da45a7de30/thumbnail_1021000.jpg","/articles/6603508/Midvale/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Midvale-NextGen-students-pitch-Zero-Waste-Utah-2034-plan-to-city-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6603508-5bcbf69f0f73db7b950af87983e4534b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770520795&Signature=c-5EeIE47Uv-pGZCNNM72aHkzBtTNAe-NLxQl9XnWYNG7cWDtYkl~GK7~AjTMixZU4RGFYZji9Xm~8Wn1L8loB-kDk0WH3ejix21ZNcPpNfUey5MWGItQWUTv2RBopDKlJAn1QKcVGTGyel~EozfxNEvOGGjWrSsiZTE6RiiePaZP8XxWWpeImO057kR1K2ExxzQ3loOViBvvgWQej7mqC-tiFBRTs8UstqaTCX3cBDpSp1WMAgKJ-c1EBotNaAte4VgjdhTQQP82aY5db1Zrubg-PYFQilrFxn0zzO8~Qjy~l38h6lDT2cNiANBNci1H-W2ZrGWAfzoCSLDIq5JIA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Midvale City Council members on April 15 heard a presentation from the mayor’s NextGen youth council proposing a local contribution to ‘‘Zero Waste Utah 2034,’’ a statewide public–private effort the students say would double recycling rates ahead of the 2034 Winter Olympic Games and expand long-term recycling capacity in Utah.

The student presenter, Vitalia Sun, summarized the proposal’s three pillars: expand the public collection network (drop-off points at schools, grocery stores and other civic sites), increase local processing capacity for recyclable materials, and launch an education campaign targeting elementary schools and broader media outreach. “If we educate younger generations about recycling, how to do it, why to do it, where to do it, once they grow older recycling can be a second nature,” Vitalia Sun said.

Why it matters: The students said Utah ranks in the lower half of states for recycling of common containers and packages and that the Olympics present an opportunity to showcase improved environmental performance. The council acknowledged the proposal overlaps city priorities: Midvale already operates a solid-waste program and has been reviewing policy changes to increase recycling access.

Details and local context: The students highlighted examples and research they used while drafting the proposal. Vitalia said she looked at local programs in Washington state for glass buy‑back/drop‑off models and urged more convenient collection at day‑to‑day destinations. She proposed increasing local processing capacity so materials do not need to be shipped out of state, which could create local jobs and economic benefit. The students also proposed a statewide education component to embed recycling habits in children through school curricula.

Council response and next steps: Council members praised the presentation; one councilor asked whether students had researched the market demand for processed materials and the students acknowledged they had not done extensive international market analysis. Mayor Dustin Gettle and staff thanked the students and presented recognition pins and certificates. Council members said the idea aligned with earlier council efforts to adjust city recycling policy and indicated staff would review where elements of the proposal could fit into current solid-waste planning. No formal action or funding decision was taken at the meeting.

Voices from the program: Vanessa (NextGen program staff) told the council the cohort completed multiple projects this cycle, including a youth mural and a youth resource fair; she said the late contribution of Elijah Bustamante Martinez — a recently deceased NextGen member honored earlier in the meeting — was significant to the mural work. Student Zaira Sayed described how visiting municipal facilities and touring the police and fire stations changed her perspective about careers in city government.

What’s next: The presentation served as an informational briefing; staff said certificates and pins would be delivered and that the council and city staff would continue to consider how the students’ policy ideas could be folded into city recycling and outreach work.","Members of Midvale's NextGen youth council presented a three-pillar recycling proposal aimed at doubling recycling rates before the 2034 Winter Olympics and increasing local processing capacity and public education.","actionData","errors"]
