Draper council approves Oct. 6 minutes and APC Towers lease amendment on consent agenda, 5-0
The city's official recap says the Draper City Council approved its consent agenda 5-0 on Oct. 20, 2026: the Oct. 6 minutes and Resolution 26-49, which amends and extends the city's agreement with APC Towers. The study session listed a fleet policy discussion and the closed meeting was not held, and the meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m. The recap is not the minutes and gives no individual votes or mover. The packet's draft resolution and lease amendment were unsigned, so the recap does not show a signed lease or settle how the extension term is described.

- Fleet policy Discussed
- Approval of the Oct. 6, 2026 minutes Approved · 5-0

Draper council approves records-code revision and Planning Commission appointments, 4-0
With Council Member Mike Green excused, the council voted 4-0 to approve Ordinance 1737, revising the government-records chapter of the city code, and approved a five-item consent agenda 4-0. City Recorder Nicole Smedley told the council the existing language duplicated state code and the cleanup would not change city practices; that is the recorder's explanation, not an independent legal conclusion. The consent agenda included Planning Commission appointments and authorization for the mayor to sign a quitclaim deed for property in the Suncrest development, which is not evidence the deed was signed or recorded. The minutes were approved Sept. 15, 2026. This entry covers the council's recorded actions, not the separate Community Reinvestment Agency meeting.
