At the request of the Mayor, Chief Giles gave an update on the multiple-victim stabbing incident
at Mountain View High School that occurred on November 15, 2016. There was no indication
that it was the result of race, religion, or bullying. The victims appeared to have been chosen
randomly because of proximity to the attacker. Two of the students had pretty severe injuries,
and all were taken to surrounding hospitals. All were expected to survive.
Mr. Stephens provided an update on the BRT referendum. The City today was served and had
twenty-one days to respond. It was in Fourth District Court in Provo.
Mr. Seastrand informed the council about an entrepreneur program at UVU, noting the deadline
to submit was the following week.

REPORT-MetropolitanWaterBoard
Jack Jones introduced members of the Board who were in attendance: Russ Brown, Glade
Gillman. Mr. Jones introduced and thanked Mr. Neal Winterton, District Manager, and Ruth
Ann Ivie, Secretary, for their support. Mr. Jones reviewed some of the history of the
Metropolitan Water District. Over the last eighty years, their job was to acquire water rights for
Orem.  Mr. Jones said they recently entered into a contract with the Central Utah Water
Conservancy District to treat the water through their treatment plant, and they will now have
plenty of water for the future needs of the City. The Orem Metropolitan Water District provided
about 60 percent of Orem's water source, and was the best water source in the State.
Mr. Winterton said it had been an honor to serve as the District's Manager as one of his City
duties. He was appreciative of the trust the Board has bestowed upon him. He noted that Mr.
 Jones was serving on the City Council when the City Center was constructed. He reviewed the
State's adjudication process in which they reviewed the City's water rights. They had a
City Council Minutes - November 15, 2016 (p.3)

significant interest in the Provo Bench Canal and Irrigation Company this year, because the City
was the company's major stockholder. The company's water rights protected the City as well as
all backyard irrigators, and it appeared their rights would remain whole. As Mr. Jones had
mentioned, Mr. Winterton said the water situation in Orem was positive because of the
farsightedness of earlier board members.
Mayor thanked the Metropolitan Water Board for protecting the City's water rights.
REPORT-ArtsCouncil
Mrs. Crozier invited Cassandra Barney to present the Arts Council report.
Cassandra Barney noted she distributed a roster to the Council with a complete list of Arts
Councilmembers. She said they had asked the City Councilmembers what they thought was
important in terms of promoting the arts in Orem. They created a list of what was discussed and
distributed the information to the Council for review. She said the information had been very
helpful, and she invited additional feedback.
Ms. Barney reviewed highlights from what the Arts Council accomplished in 2016. Those items
included:
· Orem Stories Project; Ms. Barney said this program featured stories of individual Orem
residents. Telling stories helped people realize what they had in common, and fostered
love and understanding. They have done this project for three years and have had
amazing participation.
Play in a Day; Ms. Barney said this event allowed Orem residents to work with theater
professionals.
Concerts in the Park at the City Center
· Summerfest Performances
Goalsfor2017included:
· Adding Arts elements to playgrounds.
More public art installations from local art students.
Public/Private Partnerships to set the Orem Arts District apart.
Increased and Improved utilization of communication channels.
Increase grants proposals.
Orem 10o" Anniversary Celebration
·Arts events like
0 Special edition of Orem Stories Projects in which younger residents interviewed
residents more advanced in years. Ms. Barney stated the event would be
neighbors honoring neighbors. There could have been flags on light posts with
portraits of past and current Orem residents, and stories featured on walking
paths.
0 Other Arts contests in conjunction with Orem history
Ms. Barney said that art was a tool for changing individuals as well as communities. The Arts
Council was ready to support the needs of the City Council.
City Council Minutes - November 15, 2016 (p.4)

Mayor Brunst said he appreciated the Arts Council's efforts in strengthening Orem's sense of
community. The Arts Council was a refining influence on the community.
Mrs. Lauret said she used to be on the Arts Council and expressed appreciation to all who helped
with the All Together Playground. She said she would like to see more parks where local art was
featured.
Mr. Lentz also expressed appreciation for the time and effort the Arts Council put into the Arts
District. He said a resident asked about the CARE program and wondered why the City did not
simply fund the Arts Council projects from the general fund. Mr. Lentz said to the resident that
funding depended on whether or not there were incremental improvements to various arts
programs throughout the City. He asked Ms. Barney if over the last decade they had seen market
improvement in the City's art programs.
Mrs. Crozier said the Arts Council was an impressive group, but one of the biggest challenges an
arts group faced was funding. As much as they all wanted to rely on the donations of others, it
was a continual cycle of trying to raise money. The CARE tax was a great resource and offered
a lot in terms of recreation and arts. The CARE program was a great example of how Orem
invested in the talent development of residents. She was proud of the program and those who
had worked to bring it to pass.
Mayor Brunst said a recent survey showed a 76 percent approval rate of the quality of arts in
Orem.
PERSONALAPPEARANCES
Time was allotted for the public to express their ideas, concerns, and comments on items not on
the agenda. Those wishing to speak should have signed in prior to the meeting, and comments
werelimitedtothreeminutesorless.
Paul Jones said the current government over the last seven years punished people who spoke up
for religious freedom. He recalled that when he wanted to put something on City property of a
religious nature, he was told he could not because of the establishment clause. He said the
establishment clause was unconstitutional. According to the First Amendment, the government --
City, State and Federal - was not allowed to endorse a particular religion and that the
government couldn't interfere or mandate how citizens expressed their religious beliefs. Mr.
Jones stated the First Amendment was clear and government should not infringe on religious
liberty. He said the United States Government endorsed and acknowledged religion as part of
government, and questioned why the establishment clause trumped religious liberty and the First
Amendment. He asked the Council to consider repealing the establishment clause.
Michael Ulaberry, with UVU Political Action Team, said there were many heated emotions after
the recent election. They stood with President Holland and all students at Utah Valley University
(UVU) to establish a safe, inclusive environment for all. He also invited the Council to the
opening reception on Friday at the UVU Library for the Roots of Knowledge artistic display.
The Roots of Knowledge mural is the largest stained glass mural in the area and is measured at
ten feet by 200 feet.  Over 350 students, twenty-six scholars and forty different artists

SCHEDULEDITEMS
6:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING - Sober Living Homes
ORDINANCE - Amending Section 22-6-9(D)(3) of the Orem City Code to increase the
permitted number of residents in a sober living home (SLU 1263) from six to eight
Section 22-6-9(D)(3) of the Orem City Code to increase the permitted number of residents in a
sober living home (SLU 1263) from six to eight.
The sober living home ordinance was approved by the City Council on April, 8, 2008. A sober
living home was a residential dwelling that was occupied by individuals recovering from
addiction to alcohol and/or drugs.
Because recovering drug and alcohol addicts were considered disabled under the Federal Fair
Housing Act (FHA) as long as they were not currently using, sober living homes needed to be
allowed in all residential zones.
Typically, occupants of a sober living home completed some kind of treatment or rehabilitation
prior to moving into the home. The sober living home was designed to provide an environment
of support to the recovering addict to assist him/her in remaining sober. Many, if not most of the
residents were employed.
The City recently received a request for a reasonable accommodation from one of the sober
              
residents in the two homes maintained by the operator instead of the six residents currently
allowed by the ordinance. The FHA required a city to grant a reasonable accommodation if the
request was necessary in order to allow a home for disabled individuals to be either
therapeutically effective or financially viable.
Instead of going through an analysis of whether allowing eight residents in these two particular
homes was necessary for the homes to be therapeutically effective or financially viable, Staff
thought it would be reasonable to consider whether the ordinance should be amended to allow
eight residents in all sober living homes.
Since 2008, several sober living home operators have indicated that their homes were more
therapeutically effective with eight residents as opposed to six.Sober living home operators
indicate that there was a greater level of accountability when there were more residents to keep
an eye on each other, as there was a greater possibility of forging supportive relationships among
residents. Having more people with whom experiences may be shared led to a more effective
sober living environment.  This was not to say that sober living homes could not be
City Council Minutes-November15,2016(p.6)

therapeutically effective with six residents, but simply that most operators claimed to see some
therapeutic benefit with eight residents as opposed to six.
Having eight residents instead of six would also obviously provide some financial benefit to
sober living home operators. However, there may have also been benefits to the residents as
well. Increasing the number of residents may have allowed an operator to charge a lower rent for
each resident thereby making a sober living environment more affordable for those who needed
it. It may have also allowed an operator to improve the level of staffing, supervision and care
provided to the residents.
Allowing eight residents in sober living homes also made the allowed number of residents the
same as is currently allowed in other group homes in the City. SLU 1261 (Residential Facility
for Disabled Persons), SLU 1281 (Assisted Living for Elderly Persons), SLU 1285 (Residential
Facility for Elderly Persons) and SLU 1262 (Youth Transitional Home) all permitted a maximum
of eight residents in a residential zone.
The proposed change is as follows:
22-6-9(D)
(3) The home shall be occupied by no more than six eight (8) individuals who meet the criteria set forth
below and paid, professional staff members. Occupancy by any staff member shall only be allowed if such
occupancy is primarily for the purpose of serving the residents and not primarily a benefit of employment
to the staff member.
The Planning Commission recommended the City Council amend Section 22-6-9(D)(3) of the
Orem City Code to increase the permitted number of sober living home (SLU 1263) residents
from six to eight. Staff supported the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
Mr. Earl said the Fair Housing Act (FHA) required the City to allow group homes for the
disabled in any residential neighborhood, including people who were recovering from addictions.
In some cases in Utah and elsewhere, certain cities that hadn't followed the requirements of the
FHA ended up with worse scenarios than if they had followed the requirements in the first place.
He mentioned two cases in Draper and West Valley in which FHA requirements weren't
followed, which ended up causing those respective cities problems. Staff was trying to amend
Orem City's ordinance in order to put themselves in a more defensible position in the event that
they were challenged by someone who wanted an exceptionally high number of individuals in a
given home. For example, if an applicant came in seeking a reasonable accommodation to take
20 occupants, the City would have to establish that number as not necessarily being financially
viable and/or therapeutically effective. In order to do this, the City needed to be in a position
where their ordinance allowed a specific number of occupants.
Mr. Earl said this matter came up because the City recently received an application stating that
six individuals wasn't financially viable and as such, they wanted to raise the number to eight.
Staff was concerned this would set precedence for sober living facilities to continue making that
same argument for a higher number of occupants. They don't want to get into that situation
because it risked changing the character of a residential neighborhood. One of the current legal
issues in determining financial viability was based on whether the key factors related specifically
to the location, cost or type of home. Staff believed a maximum of eight occupants was a good
City Council Minutes - November 15, 2016 (p.7)

balanced number. Furthermore, Mr. Earl said that the operators of sober living homes indicated
that the more residents they have, the more therapeutically beneficial they were for the mutual
support network the environment provided.  While having two additional residents helped
operators financially, the hope was that it would also benefit the residents themselves by
allowing the operators to provide better staffing and services. In this way it was a win-win
situation for both sober living operators and the City.
Mr. Seastrand said the ordinance currently allowed six residents and asked if there were requests
for sober living homes for fewer than six residents. Mr. Earl answered affirmatively; in some
cases there were requests for three residents. However, Mr. Earl explained that with three
unrelated people in a home, they would not need a permit. Sober living homes with more than
three occupants had to have a City business license and were subject to the City's sober living
ordinance. Additionally, they were also required to get a State license. Mr. Seastrand asked
who looked over the quality of care, and Mr. Earl said this was the State's responsibility; the
City did require supervision or staffing. Recently the State started enforcing provisions, and they
were being challenged legally some sober living operators who were claiming that those
regulations violated the FHA. Mr. Earl did not believe the lawsuit had been fully resolved yet.
Mr. Seastrand noted that as per the City's sober living ordinance, there was testing involved to
verify the occupants were clean. Mr. Earl agreed, saying the FHA did not apply if they were
currently using substances. The City's ordinance said a resident had to be clean for at least 30
days before they could come into a sober living home, and if they used thereafter they would
then be kicked out immediately.Residents were tested at least twice a week.
Mrs. Lauret inquired about the number of sober living homes in surrounding communities. Mr.
Earl said that most significant communities in the State had sober living homes.  With regards
to ordinances in other cities, there was quite a bit of diversity in terms of what was allowed or
not allowed, and what regulations were in place to enforce those ordinances. Mr. Earl said that
      s        
facilities and not be a threat to the neighborhood.
Mr. Macdonald said that some residents might have a sober home in their neighborhood and
                 
change would not become a slippery slope.
Mr. Earl said case law was not defined clearly enough to where it could give that kind of a
guarantee. The Department of Justice tended to get involved in these litigations, in which cases
the sentences were quite punitive. Case law was the same situation. The number eight seemed
to be defensible in court based on his research of case law. If operators could make the number
eight work, they were less likely to sue cities. If cities did get sued, they were in a much better
legal position to defend their number.
Mr. Macdonald asked how many sober living homes were in Orem. Mr. Bench showed a map of
where they were located, noting there were seven total.
Mr. Spencer asked about the numbers in other types of group homes. Mr. Earl said all other
group homes for the disabled permitted eight, which was another reason why this ordinance
amendment was being proposed.
City Council Minutes -November 15,2016 (p.8)

Mr. Sumner asked what numbers Provo and Lindon allowed. Mr. Earl said the last time he
checked Provo's numbers they did not have any sober living homes. They handled requests on
case-to-case basis. He said the problem with that method was someone in a million dollar home
could state they needed fifteen or twenty occupants to make it financially feasible. The other
disadvantage was they had to fight the battle every time in addressing public opposition. Mr.
Earl did not know how many total homes were in Provo. Mr. Sumner inquired as to who
conducted the twice-weekly testing of the residents. Mr. Earl said the City did not mandate who
did the testing. Many homes sent residents to a lab; however, this was not required.
***Mr. Spencer left the meeting at 6:59 p.m.***
Mayor Brunst opened the public hearing.
Tyson Dickson, with Renaissance Ranch, mentioned he was the primary owner of two sober
living facilities in Orem. Mr. Dickson said the drug testing was an important component to
holding their client accountable. The testing was done either at the homes or at an outpatient
facility. They had very few positive tests. He said he understood the concern of the residents in
maintaining a safe community. He said they were treating sick people who wanted to get well
Mayor Brunst asked how often the State came down to conduct an audit and physical visit. Mr.
Dickson said the State regulated the homes heavily on the treatment side and could come in at
any time.At the least, they visited the home annually.
Angela Schultz, Papillion House, concurred with what Mr. Earl said that these homes were
heavily regulated. She also explained they conducted two types of testing at least twice a week.
With occupancy of six or less, the City ordinances state they only have to have supervision five
days a week. As soon as they go above seven occupants, they must have supervision seven days
a week. In other words, there was strength in numbers. She said they were putting productive
people back into society.
Mayor Brunst inquired as to how long occupants stay at the homes. Mr. Schultz stated the
Mr. Seastrand asked what would be an effective way for the neighbors to be supportive and
helpful, and not be a negative influence on the progress of the individuals. Ms. Schulz said they
were all good people.
Ashley Nielsen said she lived at the Papillion House. She had been clean just under a year. The
accountability and support was better with more people in the house. There was strength and
safety in numbers. She stated their neighbors were amazing, and attested to the fact that they
weredrugtestedtwice aweek.
Drew Redd, Executive Director of the Outpatient programs in Utah County, said he was also a
recovering addict. He was grateful for the opportunity to heal himself, and that same spirit of
left the program and died shortly thereafter of a drug overdose. Mr. Redd said the likelihood of
City Council Minutes - November 15, 2016 (p.9)

that death would have been much lower had the individual remained in the home. In contrast,
they had another individual living in their home that had been sober for several months. The
individual held a good job and recently applied at UVU. He was getting his life back together so
he could give back to the community. Mr. Redd explained how residents have become part of
their respective neighborhoods in aiding with various service projects. He said increasing the
number of occupants was more than a financial decision; it was a matter of being able to help
more people to live.
Nichole Wimmer, Papillion House, said she had been in recovery for over seven years. She
reviewed her history before recovery and said people were afraid of her but she didn't know how
to get help. She found support and structure there, and she has since dedicated her life to helping
others.
Mr. Macdonald asked if attendance at some kind of NA/AA program was required. Ms.
Wimmer said they were a twelve-step program. When clients came into the house they were
asked to have a sponsor within a week and to attend 90 fellowship meetings within the first 90
days.
Sherry Tomlinson said she lived in a neighborhood with a known drug house where people were
manufacturing and selling drugs. She said having a recovery home was fabulous and she would
prefer to have a sober living facility in her neighborhood rather than the aforementioned drug
house. She suggested not allowing a sober living home in the same neighborhood as a known
drug house, because she felt it would be problematic. She suggested the City implement zoning
regulations on where sober living homes can be located. She opined that these homes were
positive strides in the right direction. She didn't think having eight people in a home was a bad
thing so long as it was in the right location.
Mayor Brunst closed the public hearing.
Mr. Lentz questioned how to regulate an illegal activity.  Ms. Tomlinson said the police
department usually knew where the drug houses were and should be consulted.
Mayor Brunst noted the City could not determine where sober living homes could be located, as
per the FHA. He expressed appreciation for the good work being done at these treatment homes.
Mr. Lentz concurred with the Mayor's comments. He recalled several months ago the City had
an exception request where the City ordinance required them to make an exception on an
application based on the type of fencing that was requested by the applicant. As such, he was
supportive of having a clearly defined ordinance so they could be uniform in their response to
these requests. He said this was a great service that was offered.
Mr. Lentz then moved, by ordinance, to amend Section 22-6-9(D)(3) of the Orem City Code to
increase the permitted number of residents in a sober living home (SLU 1263) from six to eight.
Mrs. Lauret seconded the motion. Those voting aye: Richard F. Brunst, Debby Lauret, Sam
Lentz, Tom Macdonald, Mark Seastrand, and Brent Sumner. The motion passed unanimously.

Mr. Macdonald moved that the public hearing be continued to 6:00 p.m. at the December 13,
2016, City Council meeting.
Mr. Lentz asked about moving the road so it went up and around the parking in order to slow
down traffic in a more natural way, and wondered if that option was being considered. Mr.
Bench said the traffic engineers and property owners all agreed it needed to be a direct shot
because of the ease of access. It might sound good on the surface but could create problems
later. Mr. Lentz said he would like to have more information on how the original proposal
would impact traffic and parking.
