Agenda, item by item
Item II.1 · Presentation
Recycling efforts
Discussed
County and city staff said landfill capacity runs to about 2053 at current disposal rates but built capacity only to about 2026 while a new cell is set up. Residential diversion is 26.3% and combined diversion 16.7%; a community food waste pilot has diverted 532 tons since July 2024. A four-acre residential drop-off site was found, with a land swap with Recycle Utah planned. No action.
Item II.2 · Roads and utilities
Regional park-and-ride study follow-up
Discussed
The study drew 1,200 respondents; Kimball Junction is at capacity. Staff recommended a hybrid system with larger lots at gateways and smaller neighborhood lots. Members including Council Members Dickey and Toly said a Quinn's Junction lot is needed. No action.
Item II.3 · Other
State liquor store site near Old Highway 40
Discussed
County staff described a proposed state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services store on unzoned state land straddling Summit County and Park City at Old Highway 40 and asked about annexation, height and setback rules. County staff and Council Member Ciraco thought Silver Summit or Silver Creek more logical; Council Member Dickey said the site does not fit but another store is needed. No action.
