Holladay council approves renewable energy program agreement and appointments; naming rights hearing draws no comment

November 2, 2023, 6:00 p.m. · City Council Chambers, 4580 South 2300 East, Holladay

With Council Members Dan Gibbons and Paul Fotheringham excused, the council voted 4-0 to appoint Brian Berndt to the Planning Commission and six Design Review Board members and to approve a program agreement with Rocky Mountain Power under the Community Renewable Energy Act. A franchise agreement with CenturyLink was deferred. The minutes record the mayor voting with the council members, so tallies include him.
