Agenda, item by item
Item Action 1 · Roads and utilities
Traffic calming and pedestrian safety improvements
Pending
Staff proposes striping and sidewalk gap fills on the west side of 100 West between 600 South and 1000 South (about 1,100 linear feet of 5-foot sidewalk), school crosswalks with bulb-outs at 910 South and 100 West and at 910 South and 300 West (the latter with pedestrian-activated flashing beacons), and bulb-outs near 640 North and 380 North Mill Road and near Willow Way and Valley Hills Drive. Street parking would be lost where bulb-outs and a turn lane go in. Staff proposes a change order with the contractor already building the 300 South Trail, whose bid was 12% below the next bidder and 27% below the average, and asks for an exception to the three-quote rule for change orders of this size.
- Change order$200,000 to Contractor on the 300 South Trail (unnamed in packet)
- Staff recommendation: approve if agreeable terms are reached with existing contractors
Item Action 2 · Annexation
Wasatch County MOU amendment: North Fields excluded from annexation area
Pending
The amendment to Section 6 of the 2019 memorandum would exclude the North Fields, a rural agricultural area bounded by North US 40, Highway 113, the planned Heber Valley Western Corridor and 900 North, from Heber City's annexation boundary. Wasatch County would zone it only for rural agricultural residences, and both governments would pursue conservation easements and a stronger interlocal agreement. The Wasatch County Council has already approved the amendment.
Item Action 3 · Other
Communications policy amendment
Pending
Council Member Mike Johnston presents two versions. Version A would let elected officials offer ideas for official publications but not contribute content individually unless a council majority directs it, and remove Section V. Version B would limit official written communications to information compiled by staff.
Item Consent · Other
Compensatory time payout policy (Resolution 2026-21)
Pending
Amends the policies manual so unused compensatory time is paid out once a year in the first full pay period of November rather than within 60 days. Recommended by the Personnel Policy Committee.
