DISCUSSION - CARE Major Grants
Mr. Downs indicated the discussion for the CARE grants would highlight the final reports from
the three major applicants from last year and what those applicants were requesting for the
upcoming year. They would discuss the reports that were submitted, accomplishments and
trends, and numbers. Mr. Downs began the review with the SCERA Center for the Arts, sharing
the amounts requested and received over the last few years and a list of their accomplishments in
the past year. Adam Robertson with SCERA was present to answer questions.
Mrs. Lauret inquired as to why the live theater performances were down by 13 percent. Mr.
Robertson said the percentage decrease had a number of factors; usually it was caused by rain
outdayswhere theywerenot able toperform.
           s   
stated that fee was for the directors, choreographers, and the professional side of the community
theater.
Mr. Seastrand inquired as to the events provided, and which carried themselves and which were
movies carried themselves. He felt they would not do a program if it did not contribute to
qualifying expenses.
City Council Minutes - April 17, 2018 (p.1)


Mr. Seastrand inquired as to the goals of enhancing facilities and services. Mr. Robertson stated
they always wanted the ability to host film festivals and show movies. They had a list of things
they would like to improve. They made strides in the last year and had seen some of those
changes already. They had been able to begin to improve their HVAC system and were on track
to upgrade and replace that system. A lot of things they were doing were not necessarily
something the public would see, but were needed. He indicated it was their long range plan to
take what they had and make it as nice as they possibly could, and they were on the track for
that.
Note: Mr.Lentz joined the meeting at 3:40 p.m.
Mr. Davidson asked about their long term strategic plan and what that included. Mr. Robertson
said they wanted to continue to grow the education side of their programming, and felt that could
expand physically to include all of Lincoln Square and some surrounding facilities. This would
enable them to expand not just their youth programs, but their programs for those with special
needs as well. Mr. Davidson said the State Street Master Plan included an “art district" and asked
if the SCERA would be willing to work with the City to integrate the plans from both the City
and the SCERA. Mr. Robertson said he would be willing to share information.
Mr. Davidson asked about the future of the SCERA Shell Theater and improvements there. Mr.
Robertson said ideally they would like to include more concrete stairs and lighting along the
walkway at the top of the hill. They would also like to replace the fence and include accent
lights. Mr. Davidson inquired about improvements to the stage, lighting and AV systems, etc.
and Mr. Robertson said that was included in their Master Plan. They also were looking at
upgrades to the backstage including new carpeting, countertops, mirrors, and vanities. They were
also including upgrades to the alarm system. He said they liked the open grass seating areas
because it allowed for the audience to expand or contract based on the performance. Discussion
continued regarding permanent seating options and chair rentals. Mr. Robertson concluded that
improvements were based on need and safety.
Mr. Downs thanked Mr. Robertson for his information. He then moved on to discuss the Orem
Hale Center for the Arts, reviewing the amounts requested and received over the last few years
along with a list of their achievements over the past year. He introduced Cody Swenson and Jeff
Fisher with the Hale to provide information.
Mr. Seastrand inquired as to which programs were generating positive cash and those that were
being subsidized. Mr. Swenson said the main stage was definitely the main revenue generating
program for the Hale. The youth programs were still building thanks to the CARE program.
The youth program not only gave the youth in the community opportunities, they were beginning
to see youth prepare to move from their program to the adult programs in the future. Mr. Fisher
indicated that the majority of the youth programs came from external grants, which were helping
them to expand and to grow.
Mr. Swenson said performances on the main stage were typically at a high 90 percentage for
attendance. They did not like to say they were completely sold out, and occasionally added
performances as demand grew.
City Council Minutes -April 17, 2018 (p.2)


Mayor Brunst asked what their beneficial relationship was with local Orem businesses. Mr.
Fisher stated it ranged from playbill advertising to full publication.
Mr. Davidson asked if the Hale would be will to share their Master Plan for collaboration with
the City; Mr. Fisher said they would, and that they welcomed and appreciated the opportunity to
work with the City. Mr. Davidson asked if there were any updates on the Hale's goal of building
a new facility. Mr. Fisher said there had been conversations with the City about locations and the
opportunities to partner with investors. They were currently trying to secure the funding and
were looking for a location. He said the new facility would be approximately twice as large as
the currentlocation.
Mr. Downs thanked Mr. Swenson and Mr. Fisher and moved on to discuss the Utah Metropolitan
Ballet (UMB), reviewing the amounts requested and received over the last few years along with
a list of their achievements over the past year. Jill Moulton was present to answer questions.
Ms. Moulton explained that the low participation numbers were due to the report not accounting
for the entire season. There were several sold out performances that were not included. They
introduced their newly designed Nutcracker scenery this year done by James Christensen and his
Mrs. Lauret inquired as to why Orem Elementary was the only elementary school involved in the
outreach program and if UMB would be willing to involve others in the future. Ms. Moulton
said they had several schools that participated; this was the school that participated last year.
General they advertised to all the different schools and did one or two performances a year. She
also wanted to mention that every year they presented one performance free for children affected
by Autism, and the Women & Children in Crisis center. They had a wonderful response with
families from all over.
Mr. Downs asked Ms. Moulton to review some of their future goals. Ms. Moulton thanked Orem
City for being a trailblazer in Utah County in supporting the arts, and they were working with
other cities in Utah County to get them on board. She said they did not see themselves as an
organization that needed to make a profit; they enjoyed the school programs and felt the best
thing they could do was enrich the lives of the children and families in Orem and Utah County. If
children had the opportunity to be exposed to classical arts they often performed better
Mr. Moulton said that UMB would perform Jackie College's original ballet “The Legend of
Timpanogos" at the Sundance outdoor theater this September. She said students in 4"h :
grade
studied Utah history, and one of the priorities of UMB was to find a way for all 4'h g
grade
students in the area attend that ballet to help get them excited about the heritage and culture of
Utah. Mrs. Lauret asked what that might cost. Ms. Moulton said it would cost approximately
$59,0oo, including some production expenses, bussing, and teacher educational materials to
prepare the students for what the performance is about. She said that would cover about 1,500 4th
graders over two productions.
Mr. Downs thanked Ms. Moulton for her comments. He indicated further discussion and
deliberation on the mini, mid-major, and major grant awards was scheduled for the work session
City Council Minutes - April 17, 2018 (p.3)


of the May 8th City Council meeting and final approval was scheduled during the regular session
at the May 22nd City Council meeting.
DISCUSSION -UTOPIA Survey Presentation
Mayor Brunst introduced Quin Monson with Y2 Analytics and turned the time over to him for
the presentation.
Mr. Monson gave a brief overview of the survey which stated an overall 93% of Orem residents
indicated they need to have access to the internet but only 8% indicating that UTOPIA network
should be the city's highest infrastructure priority.
· 19,831 emails were sent to Orem residents and 3,047 complete interviews were collected.
This is an overall response rate of 15%
· Overall, the survey indicates the City of Orem is headed in the right direction.
Mayor Brunst inquired if they could tell where in the city the responses come from. Mr. Monson
indicated they feel it was across the board evenly.
Elected officials had a 67% approval rating which is positive results, compared to 5 years
ago it has not really gone down.
Recommending Orem as a city to live in only increased 1%.

in the third place. UTOPIA is the only thing that is listed on both highest and lowest
priority.
Mr. Monson continued to review information regarding home internet use and providers:
73% responded that they need to have access to the internet every single day. The
·
proportion as to needing access is strongly agreed.
Only 13% of Orem residents say they connect to the internet through UTOPIA
·
XMission is the most popular provider among resident who connect to the internet
through UTOPIA which has decreased since 2014.
Comcast in the most popular provider among residents who do not use UTOPIA.
Respondents chose their providers because of availability, price, service and speed.
59% of respondents are satisfied with their current internet providers.
Majority of respondents consider reliability the most important feature when thinking
about intermet access.
Speeds between 5Mbps and 999 Mbps are common in Orem. Few residents have
download speeds of 1Gbps or higher.
A majority of respondents connect somewhere between 2-6 devices to the internet at any
given time. Another 11% connect 11 or more devices.
UTOPIA users are generally more satisfied with their internet providers than Non-
UTOPIA users.
Mr. Monson continued to review information regarding UTOPIA sentiments:
City Council Minutes - April 17, 2018 (p.4)


57% of residents say that high speed internet is a basic need for economic success and
should be considered as vital infrastructure. 43% think of high speed internet as a luxury
morethananecessity.
66% of residents think that an open UTOPIA network will increase the competition
leading to better service and lower prices.
53% say that private providers attract business well enough as it is. UTOPIA is not
necessary to attract businesses to Orem.
70% of respondents thing residents should not have to subsidize the buildout of UTOPIA
if they do not have access to the network
56% of those who have UTOPIA access say providing internet access is not the city's
role.
Mayor Brunst inquired as to how long it would take to compile the survey. Mr. Monson
indicated it would take a few weeks to sift and code through the information. Most of the
responders wrote something additional and feels the council will need to remember to take those
comments with a grain of salt. People don't always have the most accurate self-perception about
why they do or say something, but it is helpful to hear what people have to say.
Mr. Monson continued:
The majority of residents are in favor of a new bond to finance the completion of the
·
UTOPIA build out.
 d    s   s    s 
buildout.
Mr. Monson reviewed information regarding potential UTOPIA uptake:
48% of those residents that do not currently have access to the UTOPIA network say they
are extremely or very likely to subscribe to UTOPIA if the network were built out and
available to them.
Residents respond most positively to messages about lower pricing, reliable connections,
and high connection speeds.
There was a slight increase after all the information was presented of those likely to sign
up for UTOPIA internet access.
Mr. Lentz inquired as to the number of students that would sign up. Mr. Monson indicated they
could look into those attributes and come up with possibilities.
Mr. Seastrand thanked Mr. Monson for the analysis and review. He stated that after the decision
                
respondents in a certain direction. He asked if Mr. Monson felt there had been any impact on the
survey because of that based on the results, the sample size, and the number of respondents. Mr.
Monson stated he was aware only due to social media, but feels there was no impact that would
bias the results and the overall response rate is not out of line. Mr. Seastrand indicated some
feedback he received gave the impression there were the questions leading to a positive response
and asked if that in fact was true. Mr. Monson indicated the last messaging questions did lead
for a positive response and is typically the purpose, but would not have an impact on any of the
previous questions. When they do a more general survey they start with quality of life and
City Council Minutes - April 17, 2018 (p.5)


satisfaction before they have them start to rate individual departments. They want them to give
them a general rating and then think about specifics.
Mayor Brunst inquired as to how many surveys they conducted for other cities and how Orem
compared, with the direction they are going and quality of life. Mr. Monson indicated they did
numerous surveys in Utah and Orem compared very well. He said the most interesting thing
about most Utah cities is that if they are bothering to ask their residents what they think it is
possible the elected officials and the city management is actually thinking about this a lot and are
not afraid of the answer.

Mayor Brunst asked Mr. Davidson to share some information on the signature gathering for
recent referendum on the Palos Verdes development.
Mr. Davidson stated information was forwarded to the Mayor and City Council last Friday from
the Utah County Chief Election Officer who had reported that the petition contained
approximately 8,400 signatures. The next morning a newspaper article showed the County
reporting 9,200 signatures. After looking into this issue it looked like the Utah County Clerk
spoke to a reporter and based his number on the full capacity of packets distributed, which
allowed for 9,200 signatures if every page was full, and that was the discrepancy. Mr. Davidson
said in a conversation with Taylor Woodbury, Mr. Woodbury said they did some preliminary
checking and were estimating 15-20 percent of the signatures being rejected. Mr. Davidson
continued that the Utah County Clerk had received a GRAMA records request regarding the
petition and that they had complied with that request and had redacted all the private and
protected information from the petition. Woodbury and PEG were going to meet with the Lt.
Governor's Office to discuss the legal process of the GRAMA request. There had been
discussions as to when the item would appear on the ballot if the petition was found sufficient,
whether it be in the 2018 General Election or the 2019 General Election. State law said the ballot

proposition would be placed on the ballot for the next municipal election, but the City Council
had the ability to approve a Special Election if they wanted the vote to take place in 2018.
Discussion continued regarding the process of the referendum and options the petitioners had to
review thosepackets and signaturesbased onState Code.
Mr. Lentz reported on a recent UIA meeting, stating they had the best sixth month period they
had ever had which showed they were improving and accelerating. UTOPIA was doing a better
job of marketing and with their broader internet service area the demand had increased.
Financially they were doing well with the rebate; last year covered about 2 percent increase on
the UTOPIA side, which would essentially flatten out. They voted to approve the next round of
bonding for UIA, which did not require any kind of pledge from the City. He continued to
explain what was needed in order to proceed with the approved bond. He said they would be
moving for a vote next Monday morning.
Mr. Davidson indicated he had a conversation with UIA representative and they had identified
five new areas where they were focused on in order to improve their service in Orem. He
relayed the footprint numbers that would be affected. Mayor Brunst inquired about the status of
Sleepy Ridge. Mr. Davidson stated they were in the process of installing UTOPIA in that area,
the HOA signed an agreement with UTOPIA giving 100 percent of all the homes in that area
access to UTOPIA, which would be part of their HOA fees.
Mr. Seastrand asked if Layton City proceeded to move forward to spearhead their own bonding
process if that would affect the UAI bonding for the rest of the cities. Mr. Lentz responded if
Layton proceeds there was not much they can do but did not feel they would be negatively
impacted. They felt they could handle the increase capacity. Mr. Davidson indicated the Layton
City buildout would be approximately $23 million and would take 18 months to 2 years to

that could be dedicated for future transportation purposes. The first year of that tax the County
could garner 100 percent of all revenues generated from the tax, but Utah County had decided to
not take advantage of that opportunity which meant the City would not see any of that revenue
until 2020. Mayor Brunst indicated the City had a right to adopt the tax which would allow half
of the revenue to go to the City and the other half would go to UTA. Discussion ensued
regarding the fund allocation if the County were to adopt the tax or not adopt the tax. The
County had until June 30, 2019 to make their choice.
Mr. Davidson said regarding the R-Schools Now initiative that a deal was struck with the State
and the R-Schools representative.The State would move forward with a vote for an increase in a

tax was received by the City in B&C road funds, so if that were to pass it would financially
benefit the City as well. Discussion continued regarding the current road conditions and possible
future growth.

The City Council, through a series of work sessions, began reviewing the proposed budget for
Fiscal Year 2019. These sessions covered revenue projections, compensation, General Fund
operations changes, capital improvements, and the enterprise funds.
will be reviewed in the budget presentation.
The Tentative Budget is available for review and to download at Orem.org.
Mr. Lentz asked what the City did to get the budget information out to the public. Mr. Manning
indicated the document was made available in a hard copy in three City offices and on the City's
website; they could put it on social media for public feedback if that was what the Council would
prefer. Mr. Manning stated the best time for input was prior to the final budget. He indicated this
was the largest budget the City had ever had, with a highlight of no tax increase. Mr. Manning
continued to review the revenue numbers as listed in the Tentative Budget. General discussion
ensued regarding revenues for capital projects.
Mr. Seastrand inquired as to the general source of the increase between FY17 and FY18.  Mr.
Manning said these numbers were for the entire budget so it would be a combination of
everything. He reviewed the revenues of the Major Fund and General Fund as listed in the
agenda, indicating that sales tax and building fees were very strong. He went on to review how
Orem City compared to other cities, with Orem being relatively similar to other cities. He stated
that overall expenditures were typical and 18 percent capital was a big change for Orem. Some
City Council Minutes - April 17, 2018 (p.9)


expenditure was up from prior years due to the Master Plans and how they were paying for those
projects to be done.
Mrs. Lauret inquired as to the tier rate for water. She asked if they had revisited the amount to
ensure they were at the right thresholds for Tier One and Two. Mr. Winterton said they had not
yet had a full year on the tiered rate plan but had looked at the levels and felt the allocation and
rates fit with the Master Plan and the 7-Year Plan. They would revisit once they had the data
from the smart meter systems and had a more consistent data stream. Mr. Davidson indicated
that the tier structure was far more generous than the other communities they compared to. He
assured Mrs. Lauret that they did and would continue to monitor the rates to ensure that they
were appropriate.
Mayor Brunst suggested that the City once again make residents aware of opportunities through
Central Utah Water. Residents could go to Central Utah Water offices and get a controller for
their lawn and receive training on how to properly water their lawns.
Mr. Manning reviewed the Council Focus for FY19 which included:
· UTOPIA -- develop a long-term plan to build out this fiber infrastructure
OThis had begun with the recent UTOPIA survey.
·City Facilities - Build new and/or remodel aging City facilities
Funding had been provided for maintenance of current facilities. Plans were
being worked on for the build and or remodel of city facilities.
·Neighborhood Preservation -- maintain family friendly neighborhoods
OFunding had been provided for:
Additional fire engine
Additional police officers
■
A Community Services Manager
■
General maintenance for existing amenities
Expanding Christmas lights for City Lights On! event
Mrs. Lauret commented that she remembered the police department being down a few officers in
recent years and inquired if they were back up to where they should be. Chief Giles stated that
they were back to where they were before the economic downturn and shared some statistical
data. He said that did not account for the two new officers that were in the proposed budget.
Mr. Manning continued:
·Traffic Management
os  Seek solutions to promote safe movement of pedestrian, bike and vehicle traffic
throughout the City.
0 This included the Center Street Corridor Study that included:
· Increased data collection
Crosswalk improvements
■ StateStreetmedians

■ Continued street maintenance
Mayor Brunst stated that one thing he had noticed about roads was that continuous maintenance

was required; it was hard to catch up on repairs if you ever got behind.
Mr. Manning continued to review other additions to the budget:
· Communication both externally and internally
Economic Development
In-car camera system for police
Additionalemployees
Staying on top of fleet vehicles
?
Retiring Bonds
?
Mr. Manning reviewed various revenue departments, overall changes, and capital expenditures.
He specifically noted the raise in the Water Fund revenue which had been accumulated in prior
years and would be used for capital in the coming year. Those projects had all been included in
the Master Plan.
Mr. Lentz said it was his understanding that the Automated Meter Read Technology (AMl) was
only being installed in part of the city and that some of the other funds were being saved for a
storage tank. He asked if there would be cost savings by accelerating the installation of AMI and
doing that all together.
Mr. Winterton stated there were a few reasons for their process; initially AMI was not planned to
start until the next year but they found a way to use some existing funds to begin the
implementation in FY18-19 using reserves that were not in the Master Plan. The Master Plan
recommended spending down reserves and not carrying those over. Additionally, they wanted to

the implantation of the tower system, and then being able to put in the meters would allow them
a better assessment for next year.
Mr. Lentz inquired as to where they were building out older neighborhoods, and asked if they
would install those with the new meters and use the newer billing policy or wait until the whole
city had new meters. Mr. Winterton suggested they bill them through the winter for actual
usage. For those with existing meters, they would remain on the current system. He felt they
should do what they could with those that have the new system. Mr. Lentz inquired if Mr.
Manning's department would be ready to handle those changes. Mr. Manning responded as long
as the software could handle it, they were ready.
Mr. Spencer inquired about the budget billing option. Mr. Manning indicated there were five
families currently utilizing the option; with him being one of the five. They noticed a glitch with
the first bill that came out but they were able to get the programing issue corrected immediately.
They would be discussing this issue in a couple of weeks but felt they were ready.
Mr. Manning continued to review Water Reclamation Expenditures as listed in the agenda.
Mayor Brunst asked about funds for Utah Lake. Mr. Winterton stated the City was part of a
group known as the Wasatch Front Water Quality Coalition.  They were a group of water
City Council Minutes - April 17, 2018 (p.11)


reclamation facility cities working in collaborating on various research issues for Utah Lake and
Jordan River.
Mr. Manning discussed the sewer rate change, storm water revenues, storm water capital plan,
storm water rate, and solid waste rate changes due to the recycling requirement for all new users.
He continued with the estimated rate impacts to cover the base rates. He said the biggest change
was with the business disproportionate service fees and the largest of those was the hospital,
which was 10 percent of what they could be charged with. The second largest was convenience
stores.
Mayor Brunst moved, by resolution, to tentatively adopt the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Tentative
Budget and set a public hearing to adopt the final budget on May 22, 2018, at 6:00 p.m. Mr.
Macdonald seconded the motion. Those voting aye: Richard F. Brunst, Debby Lauret, Sam
Lentz, Tom McDonald, Mark Seastrand, and David Spencer. The motion passed unanimously.
COMMUNICATIONITEMS
Therewere no Communication Items.
CITYMANAGERINFORMATIONITEMS
Mr. Davidson indicated he would like to follow-up on a discussion they had regarding a concern
with cemetery lighting. He stated if there were vases and other items that were on the headstones
cemetery staff will not touch them. If it was a light or other item that fell outside of that
headstone footprint, cemetery staff would remove it and put it on the headstone in order to keep
it out of thewayfor the mowers.
Mr. Davidson stated in their previous discussion regarding the R-Schools Now initiative they
were commenting on the funds, and he found the correct amount to be $963,000 that would be
available to the City of Orem. The State was moving forward to increase the gas tax ten cents a
gallon and if that were to pass, they would pull funds out of the State Transportation Fund to pay
for education.
