Discussed
Staff and program administrator Jacinda Montano of Ultimate Home Lending discussed changes to the program adopted Oct. 1, 2024. Seven of nine first-round applicants received conditional approval for $25,000 loans. A resolution is planned for March 18 so April applicants can use revised guidelines.

Item 13.A · Development
Enyo development agreement for battery storage, solar and a possible natural gas plant
Approved with conditions · 4-1
Enyo Energy, an independent power company, proposed battery storage, solar and possibly a natural gas plant on six parcels (59:068:0005, 0002 and 0004 and 59:084:0010, 0009 and 0007), partnering with local data centers and Rocky Mountain Power. Principal Christine Mikell addressed the council, and City Attorney Marcus Draper said this is a new agreement, not an amendment. The council approved it with the maximum power pole height revised to 175 feet, as Enyo requested. Gray said the city should be a good partner but some terms needed tightening.
- Applicant: Enyo Energy
- Parcels: 59:068:0005, 0002, 0004; 59:084:0010, 0009, 0007
- Condition: power pole height 175 feet
Item 12.C · General plan
Downtown plan resolution
Approved · 3-2
MHTN Architects has worked with staff since August 2024 on public engagement. Council Member Rich Wood found the plan visually appealing but wanted more discussion of the proposed language. The resolution passed 3-2.
Item 12.D · Other
Resolution on a Utah Inland Port Authority project area
Tabled · 5-0
Berrett said the Feb. 18 resolution used borrowed text that proved inadequate; the revision would say the city is inviting the authority to create the project area. The authority could not attend, and the council asked for information on sewer treatment, the airport, roads and other benefits before acting.
Item 14.A · Other
Open and Public Meetings Act training
Continued
Continued to a future meeting because the city attorney had to leave.
