community engagement program offered each year by the Farmington Police Department the program was founded in 1988 by Chief Dan received an all and and initially served just a family or two with toys and Gifts during holiday season the program has grown steadily over its now 37e existence this year toys for Town provided toys gifts and meals to 144 families with 450 children children from infants to 13 years of age each Reed toys and Gifts children from 14 to 17 years of age each received a Visa gift card and each family received a voucher for a complete holiday meal from Lakeville High ve as previously noted this program is unbudgeted and must be conducted exclusively with donations we received enough donated toys and gifts that every child received five to six gifts even after that there were enough remaining to make a sizable donation of excess toys to the military Outreach group stewardship ways tonight we are here to ask Council to acknowledge and formerly accept the monetary donations provided by a large number of Farmington area residents businesses business owners Civic and fraternal organizations our 2024 fundraising goal was set at $35,000 we are pleased to report that our incredible Community responded by donating and astonishing 53,3 18380 saf recommends that you approve resolution 20 25-11 accepting donations to the Farmington Police Department toys for Town program in the amount of $533 18380 for Community engagement efforts thank you sir Jake any questions or comments no questions my comment when I was in high school we helped fundraise for toys for Town um and I hav't been here for 37 years but I've watched toys for Town grow over the last 15 to 20 years and it's just it's amazing to see the sense of community and the fact that I mean we raised 50 over $53,000 to help our our friends and Neighbors in need I just that's astonishing um I challenge anybody to go out and find another community that does that for their neighbors and just thank you and thank you to your staff for coordinating and thank you to the community for stepping up again and donating again thank you hly uh yeah you know we we moved here um middle of the summer in 2012 and I remember that first winter Christmas season being like what what is this toys for Town thing did they did they get it wrong is it isn't it Toys for Tots I thought that's what it was and then I realized that no this is something that's special and unique to this community and um it went from this thing that I was incredibly unfamiliar with to probably actually not probably certainly um my most favorite day of the year uh within my most favorite season of the year and I'm very grateful to your staff I'm very grateful for the efforts that you that you put into this to go above and beyond what your normal workload is um and if you don't hear it enough from the people that are receiving these these gifts I I know that because I've heard the stories that you you are changing the lives of of families in the community as a result and that's on you and that's also the effort that's put forth by by the residents here and so we're just grateful and I get emotional because it's it's just a beautiful thing to see and sometimes things look ugly on computer screens but this is exactly what Farmington is and it makes my heart very happy Nick I can't really top that but I was just going to say that I'm totally fine with how you've been stacking the agenda this morning with these kind of enjoyable items though no it's it's is great like I said it's also probably my favorite day of of the Christmas season it's become kind of a pillar of of the season it's just a a way to kind of reground yourself and remember you know what's important what what we have around here so you know there is a lot of um I want to say we we realize how much we have around here when we we can help those that are less fortunate I guess and um that's just one of those days that helps us remember that so thank you st um Nate I just want to thank you for presenting this you know we see a list of amazing individuals who contribute small amounts of very large amounts um some names are familiar some are new and and they're all greatly appreciated obviously um but there's probably 20 times that number of people who the most important event for them throughout the entire Christmas season is spending two to three four hours coming to the high school blending with the rest of the community and serving the community it's it really is hard to explain unless you participate with it um so you know not only the gifts but just the people that came to volunteer to be there um is just so greatly appreciated and obviously we appreciate your whole department for helping to coordinate so thank you absolutely um it's it unfortunate that uh Chief ruford couldn't be here but um fortunate in that he would not appreciate the praise that I would give him um this program transitioned into what it is today at the hands of Chief Rutherford and mayor Hoy uh the the work that they did to build this program up um is exceptional and I see it uh just multiplying in the future so thank you to both of you thank you sir this is a every time we talk about toys for toal it's very full circle for me um cuz I was the kid whose family was a recipient and I'll never never forget what it's like that Christmas being a seventh grader hitting them here in the pounding on the door and having didn't know which department at the time but knowing that I lived in the district that it was a Farmington cop doing it uh delivering gifts that year and being in this position of affords you a lot of opportunities to do a lot of great things where you get that extra lift and being a part of toys for town every year I I there's nothing that fulfills me more and and it's it it's such a small part of all of the things and the police department the fire department our local businesses the rotary everybody that that has a a hand in this just watching it grow year over year over year um you almost get conditioned to the fact that every year we're going to see 140 50 families we're going to see four or 500 kids and knowing that we're not even scratching the surface of the number of families that actually could be recipients of the program and for Pride or one reason or another um don't raise their hands and opt in for it but nevertheless we see the we see the need um we watch people rally together and it is unbelievable to see a number like $53,000 get raised and know that to the veteran group that the bags of toys afterwards went to and there's a kid out there somewhere hopefully many of them um that will have a full circle moment that will do something later in their life because they were a a benefactor of this program and so it's a little it's a little um disappointing not to have Chief Rutherford here tonight um because it is this was his last official toys for Town um but I you guys are incredible for what what you do both police and fire and and it's a huge lift so on behalf of the entire Community like thank you for everything um with that I would seek a motion to approve resolution 2025 Tac 11 accepting donations to the Farmington Police Department toys for Town program in the amount of $533 18380 for Community engagement efforts motion to approve second motion by Holly second by Jake all in favor say I I I thank you sir and you do not need to stay here go out there with your team and family you're good all right next item on the agenda is item six are citizen

to address you guys today and sorry that it is kind of on an agenda but I'm going to just say what I got to say on it couple years ago the city council was approached by some other Youth Sports associations and asked to dictate limit and set standards on who can do the charitable gambling in town and who cannot at that time the city council agreed with the stance I brought to him which is that's an independent agreement between the business and the charitable gambling organization we all know the mugs on the agenda we're talking about that to change of ownership all those things um looking at the agenda today I see that there's a discussion on a different Youth Sports Association um applying for a premise permit at the mug um I just wanted to make sure that you guys have all of the accurate information it is my understanding that our premise permit never ended even when they were without license um I also have a signed lease agreement through the state gambling control with the new owner of the mug that Farmington youth hockey will still be participating in charitable gambling there so I just want to make sure you guys were aware of that as you consider signing the lease to somebody else that we are still under lease with them um my understanding I don't know where the agreement came from I see their application is not signed by the owners of the mug and it's 3 four weeks old um I have an a lease signed by the new owner from today so I just wanted to share that thank you for your time I think I beat my five minutes thank you sir thank you is there anyone else in

mayor council uh this evening we have the final plat for Metal View preserve second edition uh which consists of 75 single family lots uh this plat is consistent with approved plary Ary plat which included 138 single family lots spread over 61 Acres that yielded a net density of 3.12 units per acre and that does include Phase 1 and two combined minimum lot area within the second edition is 7,764 square ft with an average lot area of 9,476 square ft the minimum lot width and depth within the second edition is 60 ft and 130 ft respectively the property is zoned R1 and is a planned unit development uh the front yard setback or the setbacks in this instance uh front yard setb back of 20 ft side yard interior setback of six side yard Corner setback of 20 and rear yard setback of 6 feet and there are no outlots that are associated with this specific final plat well I'm apologize this isn't showing up never got switched there we go my apologies I did not notice that um this is the copy of the uh final plat uh just showing the general layout um as far as uh how it is laid out in transportation Wise everfield Avenue and Everglade path uh both will be extended North uh with this subdivision with Everglade path connecting into the existing roadway within the Troy Hill development which is just adjacent to the East 100 92nd Street is in the center of the this phase and connects both everfield Avenue and Everglade path as far as the roadway sections everfield Avenue uh consists of a 60ft rway and 32t wide Road Everglade path is a 60ft RightWay 28t wide roadway and 192nd Street consists of a 60ft RightWay and 32t wide roadway do want to mention that 190th Street West is planned to be constructed as part of this uh development and phase um right of way for that 190th Street was platted with the first edition um it's not part of this specific plat and that construction that is associated with 190th Street uh West uh will be subject to a separate review by staff and further discussion on cost as well between staff and the developer as far as Parks trails and sidewalks uh the city will seek cash and lo of Park uh dedication with this plant uh the entire metav view preserve development both Phase 1 and two combined required 5.36 acres of land for Park purposes 2.62 Acres were dedicated with the first phase that means the remaining 2.74 acres are do with this particular phase sidewalks will be provided on the north and west side of Everglade path the west side of everfield Avenue and the south side of 192nd Street West and then just to note a bis Trail will be constructed within the adjacent out lot which is out lot a of the first edition uh which will run north and south through the out lot from 195th Street West up to 190 Street West right of way the plan commission did review and recommend approval of the final plat uh with a vote of 4 Z at their January meeting uh therefore the action that's requested this evening is adopt resolution number 2025 Tac 14 approving the meal view preserve second edition final plat contingent upon the following and that being number one satisfaction of all engineering comments related to the construction plans for grading streets and utilities and number two a development contract between the developer and the city of Farmington shall be executed and security fees and cost shall be paid submission of all the documents required under the development contract shall also be required any questions thank you sir nick uh you kind of preemptively brought up my topic I was going to ask mostly about 190th because I don't remember actually ever finishing that conversation all that much um specifically the bridge conversation and what that looks like that's still not even going to be a part of any talks as they develop this right that'll be a future that will be as they move west that would be a future phase okay okay so they're just going to finish finish 190th basically out until the edge of their development they're going to construct it to their first to that first intersection on the North to everfield Avenue be there okay so not too terribly far actually okay it'll be far enough because there's a portion of of that right of way that is outside of this plat so so basically from um Everest path over okay so we can expect F future discussion on what that looks like and how that goes out to Flagstaff eventually someday right okay um second question because I can't see where did you say that the walking trail was actually going to end up is it to the all of it basically yes backyards of the Far West there's a large Outlaw on the west side of got that holding Pond down there y okay that's what I kind of pictured but I just didn't know and that wraps up to 190th then it will okay sounds good that was my only questions thank you hly um Nick had actually asked uh part of the question that I was asking I just for points of clarification since the way that I'm looking at it it's twisted the at least on my screen the access points into this development are going to be 190th from the East through an existing neighborhood right or coming off of 195th and going north on everfield correct so we're what we're looking at really is the backside of the development that we're already seeing come into fruition right now um and are we expecting I know that they've been doing you know work as far as improving 195th in that area too and and how that looks getting in and out of there is that something that's going to continue to evolve and and happen with this phase of development or specifically on 195th Street that work is complete that's all done so there's nothing new that's going to be changing there as a result of this what what we're used to now is what we're used to correct okay that was the only question I just wanted to make sure sure that you know as people were watching this happen that they knew what to expect getting in and out Steve I have Time Jake no additional questions I so just as a point of clarity the because we have this segment from Everest that stopped right yeah segment of 190th that stopped at Everest so the developer is going to take it from there to the Western Edge not to the property line because I know we had initially talked about that it's going to stop at the road and then once we see what happens with future additions um and how it kind of develops out to the west then we'll have conversations about the extension of 190th because if I remember correctly the county has that in their long-term Transportation plan I'm not I don't believe 190th I don't believe it I just recall having the conversations about the setbacks being wide enough for a county road because I thought and I could be wrong there but I for some reason that stuck with me believe so I don't believe it's supposed to be County anyways okay we're not going to have a missing segment of road is the net takeaway right um and developers here Representative no fortunately they weren't able to make it okay no worries um no I mean it looks like the development is progressing well um it's going to be nice to see this get done and do they have to have the extension of 190th completed as part of this development yeah so before they finish on the second edition or submit for a third that has to be done we'll end up having to have some language in the development contract specific 290th Street okay because that will be important to have that connection for this development so that not everything's getting funneled through the Troy Hill development yeah and the same Provisions in the development contract about uh uh means of ESS in and out of the site just as far as the residences and stuff to the east of there same thing we didn't hear anything from that so it was good they I think it worked fairly well yes yep okay I like it thank you uh with that I would seek a motion to adopt resolution 2025 tac4 approving The metaview Preserve second edition final plat contingent on the two A4 mention Provisions motion to approve motion by Steve St second second by Holly call the role please mayor Hoy yes council member yes council member ctis yes

for approval tonight our appointments to boards and commissions as listed in your packet interviews were conducted on December 16th awesome thank you any Steve questions comments no I appreciate that one of our new appointees chose to be here tonight Doug welcome to the park and rack commission we did have a lot of applicants this year which I as a council member I think all of us appreciate in some years we we actually haven't had enough folks to fill seats so um you know I know the mayor talks about this a lot um that finding ways to serve and get back to the community is one of the better ways to get involved so appreciate appreciate all the applicants Jake I will just Echo what Steve said nothing for me Nick I appreciate the energy of coming out to see your your appointment yeah nothing to add to that Beyond um it's always good to have more applicants than we have positions available uh because as we know over the tenure of the terms that vacancies do happen whether it's moving relocating life happens so it's nice to to have people to continue uh because we were short not all that long ago um it's going to be great to to see the new bodies get involved and get going so uh with that I would seek a motion to approve the appointments and terms as listed above to the park and wreck Advisory Board the Planning Commission Rambling River Center Advisory board and the water board for 2025 so moved second motion by Jake second by Nick call the rooll please Council berats yes council member cordz yes council member lean yes council member Wilson yes mayor Hoy yes all right round table Nick I should have said it with the last bit but one comment that stuck out with me from the interviews we had for the commitments was Bill worky who said he was coming up on 60 years of service to the city we asked him why and he said well I figure if I've done 60 it makes people that have only done three or four and make it not seem so bad so um it was a great perspective on it I appr appreciate it it made me feel like the three years I've been doing this is just a drop in the bucket some days it feels a little long but hard to stand next to that so thank you to everyone again for that part of it h um yeah so we had some cool things happen on uh last Friday night uh Farmington High School theater uh did their one act and this weekend they are performing in the one act competition so if anybody wants to go see the theater compete um it is a one act that was actually written by a high school senior from Farmington High School and just best of luck to them as they go out and compete and hopefully make it to the next level thank you Jake um kind of along with that last item on the agenda appointing uh reappointing existing members and appointing new members I just want to thank uh outgoing commission members um who recently had their their last meeting um so thank you to lean Leo and Cody Fishman for their service on the Planning Commission and the parks and wreck board um I think Leanne started in October of 2019 and Cody in August of 2023 so thank them for their service uh to our community and wish them the best of luck moving forward absolutely Steve yeah I've got two items on Friday uh Matt and his team put on a fantastic banquet honoring our amazing fire department and congratulations Mary for being our fighter fighter of the year it was great to be there um the other comment I wanted to make this kind of stems actually from something the mayor made mention of uh at our last meeting and I do want to say that I think it it this actually Bears worth noting and appreciating even three years later so back in I think February of 2022 how this is going to be about you so I'm not trying to embarrass you but I believe it was February of 22 the team of hes came to the community uh wanting to you know kind of reimagine and reinvigorate a community celebration that really had kind of essentially Fallen apart without volunteers lacked a lot of energy and the dynamic duo created probably one of the best community events um that we've seen in recent years and that continues to be so appreciated Holly and I'm I'm sure Holly Shar is not watching even though I still believe this is the highest rated television broadcast in the community I don't think everybody always watches um but I think the reason I'm pointing that out is because you know the team of holes I think Holly are holly sitting next to us here up at the Das was very instrumental um after that time period but there's also been a passing of the torture leadership and of course we have a brand new exciting sponsor this year um and you know the sponsor name may not be the same that we've been used to but I think the community celebration is going to be even more impactful with so many more ways to get involved so I'm extending my appreciation again to Holly and Holly and Holly Shear for the work they did to get us to the point so long way of saying get involved be part of the group be part of a group that wants to take on an event be part of the team that's coordinating the whole thing there's so many different ways to get involved I'm guessing that if you raise your hand and say I want to be involved that there's going to be a job for you and you'll feel great about it because you found a great way to get back to the community so uh Long Way saying we appreciated you three years ago before you were up here Holly and continue to appreciate the work and Foundation that you set so thank you thanks Lynn nothing tonight Shirley um just want to call out two items that were approved on the consent agenda tonight one is a Gambling License for the BFW to conduct bingo in the back room the other is a new tobacco license for Farmington smoke shop at 115 Elm Street that's all thank you di thank you mayor and councel I wanted to take just a moment to publicly thank Aerospace fabrication and materials for opening their door and giving us a fantastic tour tonight there is um some amazing things that happen in this community or are being built or being manufactured and Aerospace fabrication is a shining example of the creativity the um intelligence all of those things that happen here in our community so thank you to them for opening their doors and letting us peek inside for an hour thank you John thank you Mar and city council members uh next week the 27th through the 31st is winter Sal salt week 2025 uh salt is a very important part of our snow and ice safety and and clean up efforts but we always want to use just enough to be safe not too much because that chloride ends up in our Lakes water bodies rivers and whatnot uh just one teaspoon of salt permanently pollutes five gallons of water so think about it that way and that chloride collects in the water bodies and it does not go away it doesn't dilute it doesn't it stays there uh so there's a a wide variety of webinars that all folks can uh take advantage of at www. winteral week.org about safe salting and uh ways to uh use just enough and not too much to take care of our water bodies too thank you thank you Kelly good evening mayor and
