Agenda, item by item
Item II.1 · Presentation
Zero Food Waste 2030 compact
Discussed
The Community Foundation asked the councils to champion diverting all food waste from the landfill by 2030 and to pass a resolution. Staff said 40 percent of residential waste is food. The city sustainability manager will return to the city council on April 25. No action.
Item II.2 · Presentation
Olympics update
Discussed
The IOC will announce its award in July. The State of Utah would be financial guarantor, with an interlocal agreement so the city and county are paid for costs above normal service levels. Armstrong said the state would not fund much transportation for a two-week event; Parigian requested help with park-and-rides. Informational.

Kimball Junction environmental impact statement update
Discussed
UDOT eliminated alternative B; options include A+C, B+ and C+, with construction at least three to four years and hoped to start by 2029. Public comment runs through March 27. Members generally favored a letter of support; Rubell questioned the city's role beyond that. No vote.
