    So Jo Marketplace Public Infrastructure District: creation and governing document

    Approved · 3-2 · South Jordan Parkway, east of Mountain View Corridor

    Assistant City Manager Don Tingey presented the resolution, which creates a public infrastructure district for a 17-acre retail and commercial development on South Jordan Parkway, east of Mountain View Corridor. The council held a public hearing on May 5, 2026, then postponed action to review a State Auditor alert and state-law changes that took effect May 6. Staff said the resolution and governing documents were revised to reflect current state law and to keep the city from being a component unit of the district, and recommended approval. Applicant John Gust said Tingey's presentation covered the item. No one spoke at the hearing. The minutes record no dollar amounts, bond issuance or reimbursement.

    • Developer representative: John Gust
    • Size: 17 acres, retail and commercial
    • Earlier action: public hearing May 5, 2026; action postponed

    Moved by Council Member Zander, seconded by Council Member Shelton. Vote: 3-2; Council Members Harris and McGuire opposed. Voting no: Patrick Harris, Jason McGuire
