XOXO Millie Here’s Millie! MILLIE MILLCREEK MILLCREEK 3330 S 1300 E Millcreek, UT 84106 PRESRT STD US POSTAGE PA I D PERMIT 7148 SLC, UT Since Millcreek became a big, broad city stretching from the mountains to the Jor- dan River, I have looked for ways to bridge our divides, build community and lift all boats. Our Millcreek Promise Program is one such significant effort to unite our community through volunteerism and in- novation, lending a hand-up to some of our less economically advantaged residents and assisting students to succeed in school. Now another opportunity to build com- munity is becoming available to us, thanks to the efforts of some fantastic community thought-leaders and doers. They are bring- ing us an initiative they call “The Millcreek Miracle.” The Millcreek Miracle will be a collaboration between residents, busi- nesses, schools and causes to help each other advance the good they see in our community. When residents, businesses, schools and other causes come together in new and innovative ways, incredible things can happen within our community—miracles in fact. The key is for individual residents, local businesses, schools and non-profit organizations to care about each other, to engage with each other and to help each other succeed. When they do, we find good things happen. Businesses experience bottom-line MAYOR’S MESSAGE “The Millcreek Miracle” promises an even more connected community JEFF SILVESTRINI cont. on page 8: Miracle P O L A R L I G H T S DECEMBER 1,2,3 FREE TICKETS AVAILABLE NOV 15 AT MILLCREEKCOMMON.ORG Begin a new holiday tradition by joining us for the grand opening of ice skat- ing at the Skate Loop. To celebrate, Millcreek is hosting its first annual Millcreek Magic Ice Show December 1, 2 & 3. Millcreek’s motto is Connected by Nature and is a perfect fit for the theme of this year’s show—Polar Lights. Come connect to nature by experiencing our interpretation of one of the Earth’s most natural and stunning kaleido- scopes of light. In fact, many rank this scientific phenomenon as the “Best Light Show on Earth.” (Next to the Mill- creek Magic Ice Show, of course.) According to the Executive Director of Millcreek Common, Aimee McConkie: “This show perfectly ties performance artists and ice-skaters together with music, amazing lighting, projec- tion mapping, and other fun special effects. The hope is to delight and entertain guests so they have an unforgettable experience at Millcreek Common’s Skate Loop.” “We’re excited to creatively celebrate the scientific beauty and wonder of Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis (also called the Polar Lights) for this special 3-day event.” Each 25-minute show is free but you must register for tickets online at MillcreekCommon.org beginning Tuesday, November 15th. Shows begin at 6:00 and 8:00 pm. Viewing areas on bleachers are limited. It is suggested that tickets are limited to 8 people, per household. For even more fun, lace up some skates and take a spin on the Skate Loop before, between, or after the shows. Rent skates at the Millcreek Common Adventure Hub or bring your own. Ice Show tickets are required to skate on December 1,2,3 and may be reserved online. Don’t Miss This Magical Premiere Event! Millcreek, Connected by Nature I Volume: 6, Issue: 7 I December - January, 2022 I millcreek.us ---PAGE BREAK--- 2 The Millcreek Promise Program has had a great year of working with the community to support residents throughout the city. As the year comes to an end, we wanted to reflect on some of the things we have accomplished this year! If you’d like to find out how to get involved with our Promise Program, please email [EMAIL REDACTED]. Millcreek Promise: Year in Review We worked with the Millcreek Senior Center to offer digital literacy skills classes through our Tech On program. As a part of United Way’s Day of Caring, we worked with CBRE and JetBlue to clean up Fortuna Park and Sunnyvale Park. With the support of Utah Office of Outdoor Recreation, Granite Credit Union, and Canyon Rim is Commu- nity, Millcreek Promise was able to work with Millcreek Elementary to build an outdoor classroom. Millcreek Promise and Community Life partnered with Utah Black Artist’s Collective (UBLAC), Nubia Storytellers, NAACP, and Project Success to host a Juneteenth celebration on our new Millcreek Common. Millcreek Promise kicked off 2022 by hir- ing new staff members that have been an integral part of further- ing the mission and vision of the program this year. Millcreek Promise participat- ed in Read Across America Day at Millcreek Elementary to share in the celebration of literacy with the students. We worked with Asian Associa- tion of Utah to find a location in Millcreek to open a new af- ter school program to provide a safe space for youth to be in the hours after school. Millcreek Promise hosted resource fairs throughout the city to share many of the won- derful resources that Utah has to offer with residents. We were happy to join the World Refugee Day celebra- tions by providing a youth activity at the celebration in Big Cottonwood Park. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3 Every year, Salt Lake County Public Ops and UDOT are out day and night to get Millcreek streets cleared. We are grateful for the long hours these hard-working crews put in every winter to ensure our streets are safe. The City works hard in cooperation with our partners to keep the roadways clear and safe, but it takes the help of all of our residents to make sure these storms do not have major impacts. Keeping sidewalks clear, not push- ing snow onto streets, and not parking vehicles on the street when snow is on the roadway are important ways residents can help. City Hall receives many phone calls and emails the day after a major storm from residents wondering about snow removal code or calling to report an unplowed street or sidewalk. Please take a look at these answers to some commonly asked questions. WHY CAN'T I PARK ON THE STREET WHEN IT'S SNOW- ING? Millcreek ordinance states (11.20.130 Parking Prohib- ited When) that no person shall park a vehicle on any city street when it is snowing or snow is on the street during the months of November, December, January, February, March, and April. If there are cars parked on the street, the plows cannot clear the roadway adequately and cars are at risk of being hit by a plow. If a driver does not feel the plow can be safely maneuvered around illegally parked cars, that street will not be cleared. Residents should remove all vehicles from roadways, including trailers and campers. Garbage and recycling cans should also be removed from the street as soon as possible on collection day. WHAT ABOUT MY DRIVE- WAY APPROACHES? Snowplow drivers make every effort to push snow off of roadways onto park strips or along the edge of road- ways, but it is impossible to not push snow into driveway approaches. The City does not have the resources to clear the thousands of driveways throughout the City. Unfortu- nately, therefore, snow removal on driveway approaches is the resident’s responsibility. WHY CAN'T I SHOVEL MY SNOW INTO THE ROAD- WAY? It is unlawful for any person removing snow, ice or other material from a sidewalk or driveway to place or deposit said materials on any city roadway. (Ordinance 14.20.105 Placing Snow Upon Highway Prohibited.) Do not shovel or use your snowblower to push snow onto the street. It makes it more difficult to plow the street later, and the resulting icy patches pose a safety hazard for drivers and pedestrians. Also, please be aware of storm drain inlets and keep them clear of snow and debris so that melting snow doesn't back up into the streets or the neighborhood yards. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO CLEAR MY SIDEWALKS? Clearing sidewalks is the responsibility of the property owner, occupant, or business owner whose property abuts the sidewalk (Ordinance 14.32.100 Snow Removal; Required). Property owners, occupants, or business owners are required to clear snow from sidewalks within 12 hours after the snow has ceased falling. In the case of a storm happening between the hours of 5:00 PM to 6:00 AM, sidewalks should be cleared by 8:00 AM. If you need help clearing your sidewalk, consider reaching out to family, friends, neighbors, or local community groups. Please be considerate of pedestrians and keep your sidewalk clear. WHAT DO I DO IF MY STREET HASN'T BEEN PLOWED? If your street has not been plowed, please allow at least 24 hours after a storm before calling to report it. The best and most effective way to report a missed street is by calling the Salt Lake County Public Works Operations 24-hour emergency phone number at [PHONE REDACTED] or by emailing [EMAIL REDACTED]. You can also report a missed street through the city’s Report a Concern form on our website, millcreek.us. More information on snow removal can be found on our website by searching for “Snow Removal FAQs.” Here it comes! Snow Removal Q&A MT.

The Millcreek Public Market is being constructed on the ground floor of the new City Hall. Opening in August 2023 when the rest of the City Hall opens, Kafé Mamai will bring a delicious African-Caribbean fusion to Millcreek. Chef Abudu immigrated to the United States in 2001, and Utah in 2016. He is from Lamu, an island off the coast of Kenya, and has been in the kitchen since he was a child. He's worked various levels in restaurants including owning an eco-lodge with a restau- rant in Kenya and is a graduate of the International Rescue Committee’s Spice Kitchen Incubator program. “I am beyond excited to come to Millcreek!” he said. The vision of the concept kitchen in the Millcreek Public Market is to help nurture a budding restauranter, helping them take their ideas to the next level. Kafé Mamai is a perfect fit and brings something very unique and delicious to the area: jerk chicken sandwiches and salads, fried plantains, Moroccan lamb burgers, daily specials, and more. “Millcreek is doing some- thing very special with Millcreek Common, and I’m so happy to be part of it,” Chef Abudu said. Kafé Mamai Coming to City Hall Public Market Blue Sky community proj- ects funding makes solar panels possible at Millcreek’s new City Hall MILLCREEK, UT. — Millcreek will soon generate its own clean, renewable power thanks to a funding award from Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky program participants. The money will support the installation of solar panels at Millcreek’s new City Hall. The award of $460,000 will cover 77 percent of the installation cost of the 120 kW solar panel system with a 30 kW battery. Millcreek joins more than 200 organizations across Rocky Mountain Power’s service area that, since 2006, have received awards for community-based renewable projects, including solar, wind, geothermal and other forms of renewable energy. This project is one of six se- lected this year through a competitive-evaluation process. “We are thrilled that we were selected for this award and so grateful to Rocky Mountain Power’s Blue Sky participants who made it possible,” said Jeff Silvestrini, mayor. “This solar panel project is not only a win for the environment but for the local community, too. By gener- ating our own electricity, we’ll save on energy costs—and that means we can dedicate more of our budget to the needs of our residents.” Blue Sky is an opt-in program that gives Rocky Moun- tain Power customers an option to match all or part of their energy use with renewable energy reducing their carbon footprints and driving demand for new renewable energy in the West. Through the Blue Sky Block option, participants also support qualifying, renewable energy projects for community-serving organizations such as schools, community centers and arts organizations. “For more than 20 years, the Blue Sky program has offered Rocky Mountain Power customers a simple and powerful way to live their values, reduce their carbon footprint and support renewable energy,” said Travis Jones, Regional Business Manager at Rocky Mountain Power. “Unlike most green power programs, Blue Sky goes beyond the purchase of renewable energy credits to help fund additional smaller energy projects for organizations in our communities. Through projects such as this, Blue Sky participants are powering a better future for local communities.” Construction on Millcreek’s new City Hall began in March 2022. It is expected to begin generating power in fall 2023. For more information visit millcreek.us or RockyMoun- tainPower.net/BlueSky. Big Win For Millcreek's Budget and Air Quality Thanks to BlueSky Award ---PAGE BREAK--- 7 Artistic Endeavors Dance Artistic Endeavors Dance has been serving the Millcreek area since 2006. Different from most dance school models, Artistic Endeavors has taught solely through SLCO Recreation. With the county closures due to Covid 19 in 2020, AED made the business decision to buy the historic Granite Club located at 3820 S Highland Drive and turn it into a state-of-the-art dance studio. Owner, Kim Luke, is a Millcreek resident, and felt it important to feed the local economy as well as help with the beautification of Highland Drive. The Highland Drive Studio is slated to open January 2023, giving AED 4 locations around the Valley (Millcreek Community Center, Holladay Lions, Steiner Sportscomplex, 3820 Highland Drive.) Although AED is known for training dancers in ballet/tap/jazz/contemporary they have also been spotlighted for their charity, Turning the C in Cancer to D (Dancer), providing families battling Cancer with free dance classes. Classes are taught year-round. Ultimate Combat Training Center Ultimate Combat Training Center in Millcreek has been in business for 35 years. A family run business, UCTC has been 'bully-proofing' children, empowering women, and offering world class instruction to athletes for over 3 decades. UCTC is a very socially conscious organization and is constantly giving back to the community that has made them successful over the years. From food drives, to Sub-4-Santa, UCTC is always involved in giving back. UCTC also offers 10 scholarships for under-privileged children to take class free of charge each year. In addition they offer FREE Women’s Self-Defense courses UCTC is proud to be recognized as Millcreek Business Council’s Business of the Month. Midvalley Massage I have been a massage therapist for 8 years and in business for 3. I have always had a passion for listening to people's stories and helping those who have been through some of life's most difficult challenges. For me, this means trauma survivors. My goal is to give survivors a safe space: To receive support and a safe touch, build trust, and help with some of their at the same time. A lesser-known of anxiety and stress is chronic pain. When we are in fight or flight, our muscles tense up in order to react to the stress response. My job then becomes to help relax the central nervous system to signal safety, so that my clients can get some relief from their pain.

Schools and non-profit organiza- tions find ways to fundraise and solve problems. The city’s residents benefit from increased funding for public improvements to parks and infrastructure. We all enjoy the feeling of belong- ing and being part of something transcending ourselves. We advance the prospect of a brighter future. The Millcreek Miracle will facilitate these interactions between residents, businesses, schools, and non-profits. It’s comprised of three different components: 1. Community Engagement: Individuals and local businesses assisting schools, non- profit organizations and other grassroots causes and events can make a tremendous impact in solving community problems and improving everything about our city. 2. Support Local: When people care enough about their community to do something as simple as dine at a local restaurant, or buy an outfit from a local retailer, a portion of the sales tax revenue generated stays within Millcreek and can be used to do things like plow snow, improve roads, maintain parks and a host of other things that benefit our community. 3. Micro credentialing: We will recognize businesses and other organizations which engage in building relationships with the community and which support causes the community cares about. To find out how you can get involved, please visit MillcreekMiracle.com and keep an eye out for more information to come.

MEET WITH THE MAYOR Our city staff spends a lot of time out in the community watching for areas of concern. Cor- ners where branches or shrubs have grown and cover stop signs or interfere with a clearview around a corner, overgrown weeds and junk on a property, and, of course, the ever persistent and dreaded pothole. We do our best to spot and fix these sorts of problems and other concerns that are out there throughout the city, but our staff cannot be ev- erywhere or see everything that needs to be ad- dressed. We depend upon residents to help out by letting us know what they observe. To make reporting easier for residents, we have recently upgraded the Report A Concern button on the city website, Millcreek.us. Concerns reported through our website are directed to the appropriate department, which will assign a city employee to investigate and follow through. Residents are also encouraged to call the city of- fices at [PHONE REDACTED] to report problems during regular business hours. Of course, sometimes road repairs or mitiga- tion of private property concerns can take time. Other reports turn out to be invalid, but having the eyes of our residents helps us go a long way toward spotting problems (or potential prob- lems) and keeping Millcreek safe and beautiful.. Sometimes residents air their concerns on outside media channels, such as social media channels such as NextDoor or an unofficial Facebook page. Our staff is unable to view all of these pages nor can we monitor and respond to these reports that are posted on unofficial chan- nels. We request that residents contact the city directly through the Report A Concern button or by phone (801)214-2700) in order to allow these concerns to be put into the city system. As always, for police emergencies, residents should call 9-1-1. Illegal vehicle parking con- cerns along roadways should be reported to the Unified Police Department (UPD) at 801-840- 4000. City code officers do not have the legal authority to issue citations for parking infrac- tions or expired vehicle licenses. If you observe a roadway concern after-hours, contact the Salt Lake County Operations emergency number at [PHONE REDACTED]. Water line breaks should be reported to Salt Lake City Public Utilities at [PHONE REDACTED]. Thanks to all our residents for assisting in keep- ing Millcreek the best it can be. See a Pothole?
