PRESENTATION OF OFFICER OF THE YEAR AWARD TO DETECTIVE JOSH CARLSON BY THE UTAH CHIEFS OF POLICE ASSOCIATION BACKGROUND: Each year the Utah Chiefs of Police Association recognizes officers who are involved in outstanding investigations or involved in incidents that represent exceptional police work. There are a variety of reasons that an officer can be nominated. Chief Bennett nominated Detective Josh Carlson for his outstanding dedication relevant to the Clearfield Cold Case investigation. The investigation involved numerous City police officers as well as officers and detectives from multiple law enforcement agencies. However, in 2018, Detective Carlson was assigned to the investigation as the lead investigator. He worked closely with a genetic genealogist and was able to identify a suspect. After several months of reviewing hundreds of documents, conducting interviews, reviewing evidence, and following up on investigative leads, a suspect was arrested for multiple rapes in Clearfield City. Subsequently, the suspect entered a guilty plea and will serve the remainder of his life in prison. He also confessed to other alleged rapes and homicides in the Western United States.

TO: Mayor Shepherd and City Council Members FROM: Spencer W. Brimley, Community Development Director MEETING DATE: Tuesday, September 8, 2020 SUBJECT: Joint Work Session –Master Development Agreement (MDA) RECOMMENDED ACTION The attached MDA is still in draft form and is not ready for final applications and consideration by the City. Following the work session the developer and staff will work to address any necessary items to allow this to be ready for application and formal consideration. This will be an opportunity to discuss and provide feedback on the draft Clearfield Station Master Development Agreement (MDA) and discuss any items the Council and Commission decide are essential. DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND The project contains four office towers within walking distance of the platform consisting of approximately 450,000 – 600,000 square feet of office space, in addition to apartment buildings (mixed use), townhouses, retail space, two parking structures and trails, public and private recreational opens space. MDA with the Master Developer and UTA (property owner) sets forth the terms under which the development may proceed and the responsibilities of the parties. There are still a couple areas where language is being evaluated and contemplated. • Bonding for the horizontal infrastructure is still being evaluated • Language to address undergrounding utilities is also being evaluated IMPACT a. Fiscal As the property is developed, it will come onto the tax rolls (it is currently tax exempt), and new construction and occupancy will increase the property’s valuation for both real and personal property. Even though a portion of these property taxes will be diverted to the CDRA, the City will still benefit from an increase in property taxes. City anticipates an increase in sales and franchise taxes as a result of the development. For the Enterprise Funds, one-time impact fees and ongoing new rate revenues will benefit the City’s utility systems, offsetting the new demand and O&M impacts. b. Operations / Service Delivery It will take several years to build out, but this project will provide a boost Clearfield’s economy and community over the coming years. The project will also result in many businesses coming to Clearfield. The growth in business is good for our economy (job creation and the multiplier effect), but there are other impacts to be aware of—increased traffic; new streets and neighborhoods to patrol, plow, and otherwise maintain; new demands on the capacity of the City’s systems, facilities, and services, etc. Without a doubt, development has an impact on government, and in some cases that may mean additional staffing needs, expanded programs, capital projects, or other costs. These won’t be felt immediately, but gradually over time. SCHEDULE / TIME CONSTRAINTS Staff has laid out the schedule of meetings for approval for the MDA and MDP. The development team is anticipating approval by the end of October. This timeline can be adjusted
