Item 1 · land-use
Echo Plat 5 park plan
Approved · 3-1-1
The council approved the Oquirrh Point park plan for Echo Plat 5, a 1.5-acre public park with a pavilion, common area, gathering areas and play area. The developer will maintain it until the city asks for it to be deeded, if ever. One member said he had not read the document and voted no; another abstained.
Item 2 · finance
Treasurer's report
Approved · 5-0
The council accepted the treasurer's report. The treasurer noted the city had renewed its .gov and web-hosting subscriptions, and the recorder said the city's check list is on page two of the monthly bank report in the first meeting's packet.
Item 3 · administration
Engine-brake sign and fee schedule
Discussed
The recorder said Tooele County Roads requires a warrant study showing a noise disturbance before a no-engine-brakes sign can be posted. The fire district said it is rewriting its fee schedule, with hearings planned in August.
Item 4 · administration
Business audits, water-wise landscaping and franchise agreement
Discussed
Council members discussed asking the state for a list of businesses registered inside city limits to check sales tax collection, a possible water-wise landscaping requirement for new development that would help residents qualify for state incentives, and the still-unfinished Enbridge franchise agreement. Decisions are expected at a later meeting.
What residents said
A Copper Cove resident said he would like to work with the city on development agreement wording, a trail and disconnection petitions.
