Members of the Millcreek Youth Council had the great opportunity to attend Local Officials Day at the Utah State Capitol this past Wednesday. They were joined by youth councils throughout the state, some coming from as far as St. George. The youth were able to take a tour of the Capitol building and see firsthand how the Legislature operates. Attendees participated in networking workshops in the morning, and then traveled to the Salt Palace Convention Center where they had the opportunity to participate in a mock committee hearing. The mock committee hearing taught students from across the state how to debate and propose ---PAGE BREAK--- amendments to bills, and how to work together to find solutions that work for everyone. Millcreek Youth Council member Kyle Linnhan shares his opinion on the proposed housing bill during the public comment portion of the mock committee hearing. The attendees were educated on the importance of planning and zoning ordinances in local governance, and the difficulties of navigating zoning code. At the end of the event, Governor Spencer Cox spoke to the group about current issues facing Utah, such as the housing shortage due to rapid population growth. Governor Cox also spoke to the teens about the importance of removing cell phones from classrooms to encourage better learning and better personal relationships. He finished his address by teaching the youth about his platform Disagree Better, and reminded them that they, as youth, can make a difference in government today through civil dialogue. The Millcreek Youth Council looks forward to this opportunity every year. We are grateful to the Utah League of Cities and Towns for putting on this educational event. ---PAGE BREAK--- Neighborhood Meeting Notice Regarding the Latest Developments at the Facility Located at 1871 E 3300 S WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2023 – 6:00 PM TO 7:00 PM 1871 EAST 3300 SOUTH MILLCREEK. We outlined what the city had heard about this facility in this newsletter several weeks ago (see December 22nd issue) and promised we would keep the neighborhood informed about any developments. We have now received an application from Friends of Switchpoint ("Switchpoint") to operate an assisted living facility located at 1871 East 3300 S. Switchpoint is looking to purchase the building formerly known as The Haven. Their recently-filed application with both Millcreek and the Utah Department of Health and Human Services indicates that they will not be changing the use of the facility, nor will they increase the number of bedrooms or occupants that the existing facility served. It will remain an assisted living facility. Switchpoint is under contract to purchase the facility from the previous owner, and the previous owner’s decision to sell the facility and terminate the leases of their residents was an independent business decision on their part. Switchpoint indicates in their application that they aim to house residents who have a history of mental illness, and in many cases homelessness. Residents will receive on-site care from trained clinical personnel and support in their activities for daily living. Switchpoint will provide permanent supportive housing for the residents, and the residents will be paying a portion of their income as rent, with the remainder of the operating costs being covered by Medicaid funds. Access to this facility will be by referral from social service agencies, and residency is voluntary and subject to a needs-based screening. This facility will not function as a homeless shelter, and the facility will not take in walk-in clients for overnight stays. All of the residents will be diagnosed with a federally-recognized disability, and their right to housing is protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Because the facility is located in a multifamily residential zone that allows for assisted living centers and residential facilities for persons with a disability, and because the facility has a long history of providing the same service to other residents, the city is obligated to approve a permit, provided that Switchpoint ---PAGE BREAK--- complies with all applicable city, state, and federal regulations and licensing requirements. Millcreek and the Unified Police Department are committed to mitigating any impacts this facility might have on the neighborhood and we have a track record of doing that in partnership with this provider. Millcreek recognizes that the new user will provide services to a different clientele than has historically resided at this facility, and we recognize you may have questions about the project and its operation. Staff from Switchpoint and representatives from Millcreek will be present at a neighborhood meeting, at the following date, time, and location: NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2023 – 6:00 PM TO 7:00 PM 1871 EAST 3300 SOUTH In the meantime, please email Francis Lilly at [EMAIL REDACTED] or call at (801) 214-2752 if you have any questions. TRASH COLLECTION DAY CHANGE for certain neighborhoods ---PAGE BREAK--- MILLCREEK. Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling is changing the trash collection schedule in several neighborhoods. Residents who live in the area south of 4500 South between Van Winkle Expressway and Highland Drive, will now have a trash collection day of Tuesday instead of Friday. This was done to balance the workloads of trash collection drivers, improve efficiencies, and ensure that sustains a high level of customer service. The last Friday collection will be Friday, January 26th and the first Tuesday collection will begin Tuesday, January 30th. The team will be stapling fliers on the trash cans of residents affected by this change today, January 19th. ---PAGE BREAK--- SUNDAY ---PAGE BREAK--- ---PAGE BREAK--- TUESDAY ---PAGE BREAK--- WEDNESDAY ---PAGE BREAK--- The Ice Skating Showcase at Millcreek Common on January 24th will feature the Murray Silver Blades Figure Skating Club from 6:30-7:00 PM.

The Unified Police Department, Millcreek Business Council, and Millcreek Coffee Roasters are pleased to announce the new Coffee with a Cop program. The mission of the program is to break down the barriers between police officers and citizens they serve by removing agendas and allowing opportunities to ask questions, voice concerns, and get to know the officers in your neighborhood. Coffee with a Cop will be a new program that will take place the first Tuesday of every month from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM, starting Tuesday, ---PAGE BREAK--- February 6th.
