City Reports
David Bunker – Thanked everyone for successful Family Festival. Was very successful. Attendance for most events was higher than in the past. Fireworks season is here. Restrictions only for the east side of Canyon Road were put into effect – no aerial fireworks or open fires. Chief Freeman presented and stated fire conditions are getting worse. Feels current restrictions need to be changed to not allow any fireworks east of Canyon Road. My concern is that we’ve already communicated the current restrictions to residents and they’ve purchased fireworks based upon that recommendation. Instead we can provide education for responsible usage of fireworks for the Fourth of July.

CM Zappala – UV Dispatch has decided that expanding in Sherriff’s office isn’t feasible. Looking at other options for building of a new site. Would like to issue an RFP in the fall so they can start construction in the spring. They do have some cash available for this building, but there would be some increase to the cities as well. Daniel will keep us updated. Daniel has started a petition regarding issues with Canyon Road. So far it has 96 signatures. Needs help getting the word out. Would like us to share it on Facebook and ask our friends to share it.

CM Geddes – Planning Commission meeting for June was cancelled as we are waiting for some items from Amsource.

Mayor Gygi – Amsource is interested in possibly developing the city’s commercial property and are discussing with the Mayor. Conversation has been brief. Saturday was the first summer concert series event, more will occur throughout the city.

CM Crawley – Parks and Trails committee is looking for more committee members. Has had one more person join.

CM Augustus – North Pointe did meet. Cities are looking at having more consolidated landfill program.

CM Rees – Family Festival was a huge success and the committee did a great job. YCC members have been selected for next year. Emily Cox (YCC liaison) has met with Lone Peak and let them know our YCC is interested in collaborating with the school on anti-bullying, anti-pornography, and suicide prevention programs. Lone Peak is very happy our YCC wants to do this.

Review/Action on Release of Durability for Landon Court Subdivision Plat A

A final walkthrough of the Landon Court Subdivision Plat A has been conducted. City staff conducted an initial inspection which produced a punch list of items to correct. Following the correction of these items, staff re-inspected the subdivision for compliance with City standards. At this time all improvements have been installed per development regulations and agreements. Staff recommends we release the durability retainer of $28,727, as is required. This was approved.
