Council Chair Cyndi Sharkey invited the public to participate in General Citizen Comment.  
Daniel Derricott expressed concerns about the precident set for rezoning other parcels in  
the area of the Fortner parcel and the impact on the community in the area which is  
predominantly single-family residential. He appreciated the Council's comments about  
home ownership.  
Ron Larson lives directly to the west of the Fortner property. He was opposed to the  
rezone to higher density and asked the Council to deny the rezone application. He spoke  
about protecting the area which is predominantly single-family homes. He expressed  
concerns related to increased traffic, street parking and the impact the development  
would have on home values in the area.  
Shannon Maynard spoke about the current zoning in the area by the proposed rezone of  
the Fortner parcel which is mainly single-family homes. In the last seven years, ten new  
single-family homes were built. She lives near this property and was opposed to the  
higher density zoning for this parcel. She expressed concerns about the townhomes  
becoming rentals and spoke about safety issues in the area.  
Mr. Paul O'Brian was opposed to the proposed rezone of the Fortner property. It is a  
terrible intersection and he thought the proposed development would create more traffic  
and safety issues. Many residents spoke against this proposed development at the  
Planning Commission meeting.

First Reading: Council Member Houseman proposing an addition to Title 4  
of the Sandy Municipal Code addressing limits on full time benefited  
positions.  
Houseman  
Sponsors:  
Council Member Marci Houseman proposed an amendment to Title 4 of the Sandy City  
Municipal Code. The municipal legislative body is responsible for the adoption and control  
of the City's annual budget. In order for the City Council to carry out its statutory duties,  
the adopted budget should include a consolidated staffing schedule identifying all  
authorized positions and establishing a total count of full-time benefited positions. Ms.  
Houseman's proposal included new language to our code that includes the total count of  
full-time benefited positions established in the staffing schedule shall be equal to the total  
number authorized for that fiscal year and also provided for a mechanism to increase the  
staffing count if necessary. This proposal has been reviewed by the City Attorney, Lynn  
Pace. Council discussion followed. Brian Kelly, Administrative Services Director,  
responded to Council questions and provided background information regarding the  
practice that has been in place for the last eight years. Tracy Cowdell and Dustin Fratto  
with the Council Office provided additional insight and clarifications. The proposal, if  
approved would provide an additional layer of transparency in the budget process in  
relation to FTE's. Mayor Zoltanski mentioned that during her administration no additional  
employees have bee added without the authorization of the Council. This is an information  
item and will come back to the Council for consideration at a future Council meeting.
