With Council Member Ty Brewer excused, the council voted 5-0 to rezone 6571 South Big Cottonwood Canyon Road from Residential Multi-Family to Office, Research and Development and to appoint Arts Council members. A work meeting covered a county public safety bond and an emergency management plan, and the council supported six weeks of parental leave.
