Discussed
Mayor Peterson described Salt Lake County's mapped utility corridor approach and proposed exploring one for Washington County; surrounding mayors and two county commissioners expressed interest and a meeting with Rocky Mountain Power is being pursued. He said other routes face constraints including incomplete corridors, protected wilderness and insufficient right-of-way width. A corridor would need to be wider than 150 feet and could require land exchanges or easements. Council members supported keeping multiple options open while prioritizing existing homes and recommended seeking support from state representatives. The mayor said construction could be about four years away, permitting was expected to begin in 2026, and Rocky Mountain Power should publicly disclose decision checkpoints. No vote was taken.
- Line: 345 kV, Rocky Mountain Power
- Corridor width: more than 150 feet

Discussed
Ahead of Rocky Mountain Power's Oct. 7 open house at the Leeds fire station, the mayor reported coordinating with Toquerville and Hurricane and proposed three priorities: favor public land over private property, minimize impacts on existing Leeds homes, and protect platted developments before unplatted land. Members discussed routes through public lands and parts of the desert tortoise reserve, limited undergrounding and expanding agriculture protection areas. No action was taken.
- Priorities: public land first; protect existing homes; platted before unplatted land
