Item IV · Contract
Resolution 2026-10: reciprocal parking license and maintenance agreement with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Approved · 6-0
Continues an agreement Granite School District held next to Spring Lane and extends it to the city, which acquired the property for Spring Lane Park. An issue in the agreement has been resolved. No dollar amounts were listed.
Item VII.b · Public safety
2026 fireworks map
Discussed
State law requires the map by May 1; the city must find hazardous conditions existed in at least two of the last five years. Council Member Fotheringham, now mayor, wanted data before any vote; Council Members Gray and Quinn raised dryness. No vote.
Item VII.c · Taxes and fees
Business license fee study
Discussed
Serving businesses costs about $1 million and fees averaged about $290,000 a year. At 25% cost recovery the new structure is revenue neutral; it projects about $70,000 more revenue. Most businesses would pay less, since 85% of licenses are renewals; banks, convenience stores, grocers, pharmacies, beer retailers and hotels would pay more. Nursing and personal care facilities now pay a $200 base plus $44 per resident; the proposal is $330 plus $299.60 per bed.
Item VII.a · Public safety
UFA 101 governance and budget
Discussed
The fire authority has 695 personnel and 26 stations; Station 104 has a four-person engine and a two-person ambulance around the clock. Mayor Fotheringham chairs its board.
Item V · Roads and utilities
City manager report: I-215 trail and earmark
Discussed
UDOT prioritized the I-215 trail from 2300 East to Highland Drive for fiscal 2026-27 with no local match; approval could come by late June. The city manager was less optimistic about the federal earmark.
