Food, glorious food! There are quite a few new restaurants cropping up around Millcreek and Milford couldn’t be more pleased. If there is one thing Milford enjoys, it is going out for lunch. He says that, “Going out to lunch is like going to recess for adults.” I always enjoy catching up with a friend at a restaurant, and it looks like Millcreek is creating palates to fit everybody’s tastes. Here is my latest “new to Millcreek” restaurant roundup: One of my new favorite addictions is CoreLife Eatery at 3215 E 3300 S. If you are someone who loves hearty salads and grain bowls, this is the place for you. Their dishes are FULL of flavor and easily customizable. I also love their different dressings. Who knew how delicious a carrot chili vinaigrette could be? Their menu is friendly for ALL different kinds of eaters, and I even have a little six-year-old friend who loves the cranberry poppy salad. Milford LOVES Mexican food and is DELIGHTED to have the new restaurant Maria’s Mexican Grill close to home at 3336 S 2300 E. As a self-proclaimed “Mexican food expert,” Milford has done his “research” around the Salt Lake Valley discovering the best Mexican restaurants. Be prepared for very generous portions. I ordered the three tacos carne asada and they were delightful. Milford ordered the enchiladas and was pleased as well. Next time you have a hankering for Mexican, you might consider stopping by Maria’s. Kitty corner from Maria’s is another restaurant new to our area called, Lettuce and Ladles. This is a diner style café that serves hot sandwiches, soup, and of course, salad. They do not have waiters but are happy to bring items to your table if you ask. I loved the tuna melt and putting together my own salad. It was the perfect place to catch up with a friend over lunch in a very relaxed atmosphere. I never felt rushed to leave, and the staff is very kind. Have you heard of Rawtopia Living Cuisine and Beyond? It is up in the Olympus Hills shopping area (3961 S Wasatch Blvd.) and they have an OUTSTANDING mango drink. You will definitely leave the restaurant feeling like you have treated your body to nourishing food. There are a few more restaurants out there I haven’t tried yet but will soon. I would LOVE your recommendations too. I think I really like doing a restaurant roundup article… Email me your suggestions to [EMAIL REDACTED]. Happy Eating!, XO Millie HERE’S MILLIE! MILLIE MILLCREEK MILLCREEK 3330 S 1300 E Millcreek, UT 84106 year). The newspaper ad Millcreek is required to publish for truth in taxation will use that incredible 3,153.32% figure. Millcreek decided to leave the Salt Lake Valley Law Enforcement Service Area (SLVLESA) and contract directly with the Unified Police Department (UPD) effective January 2018. SLVLESA is a taxing district created to fund police services when the former “police fee” was discontinued because it was so unpopular. Millcreek left SLVLESA to have better control over the cost and level of our police services. As a result of leaving, we have six more police officers serving our city and we will pay less in property taxes than the rate SLVLESA will be charging. In 2017, Millcreek residents paid SLVLESA for police services. That line on your taxes is now $ 0.00 and the tax is being charged by the cont. on page 6 Tax Transfer My property tax notice says Millcreek is raising taxes by 999%. What’s going on? Surely that’s a mistake, right? In fact, 999% is as high as the county assessor’s computer will allow on the form. The real “truth in taxation” percentage is 3,153.32 (Based upon Millcreek’s average home value of $395,145.

GEILMANN, J.D., MANAGER [PHONE REDACTED] I [EMAIL REDACTED] Millcreek is a “one of a kind” city. The day Millcreek was incorporated as a Utah Municipal Corporation, Millcreek brought to the forefront a city with an unmatched heritage, a residential population of approximately 61,000 people, a diversity of cultures and commercial enterprises, but most of all, this new city of Millcreek continued to focus on being the city that extends to everyone a feeling that they are home. Welcome to Millcreek! As the first (and most fortunate) person to be appointed the Millcreek City Manager, the last year has been a whirlwind of opportunities and learning experiences. Having served as a City Prosecutor, City Attorney, City Administrator and City Manger for two previous municipal jurisdictions, it is a privilege for me to say that Millcreek is a marvelous place. Often the question is asked, “What does a City Manager do?” My job description indicates that the City Manager is the city’s chief administrative officer, and that all city employees are subordinates of the city manager. The city manager is responsible to the governing body (the Mayor and City Council) for day-to-day operations of the city. We have been very fortunate to have brought on board the best city staff anywhere. Sometimes, as staff, we have to say “no,” but our goal is to find a way to “yes.” Millcreek staff is here to help our residents and businesses make life better. ELYSE GREINER, RECORDER [PHONE REDACTED] I [EMAIL REDACTED] I am a new resident of Millcreek and am loving this community! The City Recorder is a statutory position, appointed by the Mayor at the advice and consent of the City Council. I am responsible for the preparation, execution, and archiving of City documents. This includes minutes of meetings, ordinances, resolutions, contracts, oaths of office, and records requests. My duties also include responsibility for the City website and administering municipal elections. Please contact me for assistance if you would like to inspect a public record through the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). KURT HANSEN, SERVICES DIRECTOR [PHONE REDACTED] I [EMAIL REDACTED] It is a wonderful experience being a part of the new Millcreek. I can feel the Millcreek attitude coming to the forefront, and I am grateful to play a small part in the evolution. I come with a background in construction, including home building and design, along with working several years in local government as a building inspector and building department manager. And, with recently completing a degree in Public Administration, I feel prepared to help Millcreek grow, thrive, and continue with its culture and rich history. My responsibilities in Millcreek include Building Permits and Inspections, Code Compliance Inspections, Emergency Management and Risk Management, along with management over City Facilities, City Vehicles, and the Parks and Animal Services Contracts with Salt Lake County. Millcreek is an active city with new construction and remodeling at every turn. It is also a city that, in some ways, is in need of some cleaning up, as it were. City Services is where you turn for those needed building permits and contact us if you see properties that don’t enhance your neighborhood. Let me know when things are out of sorts and my talented inspectors will work to help you and your neighbors gain compliance with the established codes and regulations, and let’s keep Millcreek moving in the right direction. LAURIE E. JOHNSON, MPA, HR-FINANCE DIRECTOR [PHONE REDACTED] I [EMAIL REDACTED] I am so excited to be working for Millcreek! I genuinely love the work I do, and I have been working in municipal government for more than twenty years. What a great opportunity to work for a brand, new City and to be part of creating a positive workplace culture that will have an impact for many years to come. I manage the budget and financial operations of the City as well as the human resource side of things. I enjoy working with each, and every employee of Millcreek and consider it an honor to do so. I am continually impressed with how hard each one is working to figure things out and to provide quality service for the City. I will also be assisting the Mayor and Council in setting short-term financial goals and creating a long-term financial plan and strategic plan for the City. FRANCIS XAVIER LILLY, AICP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR [PHONE REDACTED] I [EMAIL REDACTED] It is a privilege to work for Utah’s newest city! I’m part of a team of excellent planners who assist the community in achieving a vision of a beautiful, vibrant, livable place for everyone. For the last eleven years, I’ve been a planner for West Valley City, and I served as South Salt Lake’s housing administrator. While I don’t live in Millcreek, I’ve been a proud member of the Rotary Club of Millcreek since 2013. Your planning team works with developers and residents to strike an appropriate balance between revitalizing our corridors and centers, while maintaining the beauty and integrity of our cherished neighborhoods. We are also launching Millcreek Promise, which is built on three promises: 1. We will strengthen and support our local schools to maximize academic success and educational outcomes envisioning all Millcreek youth as college graduates. 2. We will work together to create a safer, healthier community through resident engagement, support of local law enforcement, fitness and nutrition programs, and health provider partnerships. 3. We will enhance the economic well-being of Millcreek residents who are unemployed, underemployed, or who have been denied access to education or vocational training that would result in their being better able to provide for themselves and their families. We look forward to working with you as we make good on our promises—especially to our youth—on building on Millcreek’s legacy as an extraordinary place to live, work, learn, and play. RITA LUND, COMMUNICATIONS & PROGRAMS DIRECTOR [PHONE REDACTED] I [EMAIL REDACTED] This is an exciting time in Millcreek and I am pleased that I can play a part.

It is my pleasure to work with the four Millcreek Community Councils, the wonderful Venture Out! team, the Millcreek Arts Council and the many other volunteer groups who work so hard for our community.

I bring experience working in economic development for other cities and the State of Utah, and am a former city mayor, Zions Bank vice president, economic development consultant, and entrepreneur. As the business ombudsman for Millcreek, I am building a Millcreek Business Council. This department also oversees Business Licensing and is the staff for Millcreek’s Community Reinvestment Agency. We focus on “Three R’s”: 1- Recruit new businesses to the city. 2- Retain and help existing businesses. 3- Redevelop commercial areas with greater potential. Millcreek has a robust medical and senior care sector, anchored by our largest employer, St. Mark’s Hospital. This will continue to grow as Baby Boomers age and Millcreek continues to supply top-of-the-line care. We also have a vibrant outdoor recreation cluster, especially along 3300 South with REI, Milo Sports, Ski ‘N See and more. With our proximity to the canyons and even the Jordan River, our city can be a leader in outdoor rec. As Utah’s tenth largest city, Millcreek’s potential for an impressive city center is exciting.

POLYNESIAN PARTY AT THE ANNUAL BIG LUAU ---PAGE BREAK--- 6 MILLCREEK NEWS city. Property values fluctuate and the amount UPD charges all of its members has increased due to inflation and paying more to attract and retain officers in a competitive market. Many police departments are trying to hire more officers to fill vacant positions and UPD is no different. However, the taxes the remaining members of SLVLESA will pay this year are even higher, as are the taxes residents of Herriman will pay to start their own police department. Millcreek’s tax rate is .0020120 for 2018. SLVLESA’s is .0021390. Herriman’s is .002378. My tax notice says I paid $20.15 last year to Millcreek and I will pay $624.45 in 2018, a difference of $605.21. But last year, I paid $602.46 to SLVLESA and that line is now $0.00. My net tax increase for municipal services from Millcreek is $2.76. The percentage of increase is huge because Millcreek collected only a small amount of property tax in 2017 and now we are paying for our UPD police directly, rather than through the SLVLESA taxing district. So our taxes have not really increased by 3,000%. It just looks like Millcreek is charging a lot more because we have shifted to whom these taxes are paid. Since Millcreek left SLVLESA, we have been able to increase the number of UPD officers in Millcreek for the same cost, because we were able to discover some accounting errors. Millcreek and the other SLVLESA members were paying more than their fair share for police and the narcotics task force. Those problems have now been corrected and Millcreek has 6 more officers on the beat in our city as a result. While the technical requirements to comply with Utah’s truth in taxation process make it look like you are seeing a huge tax increase by Millcreek, really you are not paying much more than you were before. All of the property taxes that you pay to Millcreek are being used to pay for our UPD police and the costs of financing that contract. Of course, the taxes you pay to Millcreek are only one part of your property taxes. We cannot control what other taxing entities may do, nor the fluctuations caused by how your property compares in valuation to others in the county year to year. Your mayor and city council are working hard to make prudent financial decisions for the taxpayers in our city. That we have been able to watch not only Millcreek’s budget, but also that of the UPD, to bring more value in police services for such a slight net increase to Millcreek’s portion of your property taxes is consistent with that philosophy.

Yard sale signs, campaign signs, 5K run signs, sign up for team signs, event signs and signs of all types and sizes are sprouting throughout our city. Signs are a great way to connect residents with services or to let folks know about the many wonderful events that happen during the summer months. But signs can also become eyesores and clutter up the beautiful Millcreek neighborhoods. The Millcreek sign ordinance outlines where signs can be placed and where they shouldn’t. Signs can be placed on private property with the approval of the owner if they are not blocking sightlines along roadways. Signs, including handbills, posters, advertisements or notices, should not be placed in the public right of way unless approved by Millcreek. That includes park strips and on fences along roadways. According to Millcreek ordinance, signs should not be affixed to a curb, lamppost, telephone pole, electric light or power pole, hydrant, bridge, tree, rock, sidewalk or street. By following the rules, we can keep our residents informed of important and useful events but also keep our beautiful neighborhoods looking good. If you have any questions about the signage rules, please contact Millcreek at [PHONE REDACTED].

Salt Lake County Engineering is constructing an uphill bike lane in Millcreek Canyon. Construction is anticipated to begin August 6th and will last through the end of September. Construction will begin near the Forest Service toll booth and will continue up-canyon for three miles, ending shortly below Log Haven. Traffic will be condensed to one-way travel on a single lane near active construction zones. Expect short delays, as all traffic (including bicycles) will be stopped to allow traffic traveling the opposite direction to pass through a single open lane around construction zones. Cyclists are strongly encouraged to use other canyons or roadways during construction. Cyclists will be required to stop and wait with cars while single-lane road traffic from the opposite direction is routed around construction.

The Millcreek Youth Council will help inform the Mayor and City Council of the needs and wishes of the youth in our City. In addition, the Council will assist with city-sponsored activities such as the Venture Outdoors festivals, Millfreaks in the Park, the Easter Egg Hunt and other city events. Council meetings will be held each month, date and time TBD.
