“I mean, it just says 15 days, so I just was trying to clarify that.”

“More than that yeah, so I would like to see it do third We say 30 days instead of 15 just because we have restrictive hours with the info center And I think that I would rather not criminalize people to a Class C misdemeanor I guess let me clarify so if we make James Changed its 15 business days.”

“business days No, I don't think that's necessary. But I, yeah, it says 15 days at this point, which I'm guessing is calendar days. I just have struggled myself with having four days only.”

“I mean, a month, if you wanted to define it in business days, if you wanted to define it in calendar days, whatever is easiest. I don't know.”

“Our dear Father in heaven, we're thankful for the opportunity we have to meet tonight and for the positions that we hold and the responsibilities that we have to take care of the city and the residents who represent them and the different decisions that we have to make. We're thankful for all the workers of the city and for their efforts as well to help us and and the residents. We ask thee please for guidance and direction and discernment in all that we do. And we say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. Amen.”

“And the transportation one for the city, I think, was not sent or something. I recall just one, but maybe I'm”

“Yeah, I think that's a great point, Councilman Harrison. What I see here is just the transportation funding resolutions. It looks like I don't see the housing one. So maybe that's something to bring back at another time. Because I just see.”
City Council · Aug 11, 2026

“Yeah, we had our one city one, but we didn't do a multi-city one. Oh, so I see.”

“I understand we're just talking about the transportation resolution at this point, but maybe I'm not understanding it correctly. I just want to clarify, just on the agenda, I clicked on both of those resolutions that I looked over were just for housing. I mean, I'm sorry, just for transportation. I don't know if we want to bring back the housing one, too, if we want to redo something else with that.”
City Council · Aug 11, 2026

“So I'm understanding that we should probably re-look at the housing one and look at some water additions, adding some water things, which I think would probably be, my opinion is it would be received favorably because I know that right now there's an adjudication process going on at the state where they're trying to reconcile water rights with physical water because they recognize there is an issue with that. So I think that would be really wise and smart to add in there. And the transportation one, what I'm understanding is that that needs to be workshopped a little with staff. Yeah. Okay.…”

“Sure. The fire department hosted Call to Courage, which was great. And my daughter was able to participate. It's where young women go and they get a train for two days and kind of experience some of the hoops of fire service. She had a great time. I was able to stop by. I know some of the others of us were. And I was really impressed. And I know my daughter at least wouldn't stop talking about it for a couple days and her friends. So I think they do a great job. And what I love is that they bring in other firefighters from other units that also help. So it kind of brings together, you know,…”

“Can you tell us more about the Water Wise Parade of Homes that is coming up?”

“Yeah, so I reviewed it, and it looks great to me. I think Jacob's done a great job. My understanding was that it was a legislative decision for exceptions, since they're changing. He presented that the conditional uses present a challenge and have continually historically presented a challenge. Also, recommendation by Utah League of Cities and Towns is to try to minimize any conditional uses we have in our code. And I would support that going forward with other additional code changes. So yeah, I support it as is, and especially with the legislative decisions go to a legislative body, which…”

“So I like everything but I am concerned about the centralization of power at this level This would still even though if it comes to planning or to City Council for exceptions It would still go through the process what it goes would it still go through if there's exceptions they would apply and go through like DRC and then Planning Commission and then Or what how would that how would that go? It would just go through DRC and then to City Council now we can you know tonight if you want to add any part of that I mean it would streamline it to go, you know, just a City Council and what I love is…”

“Yeah, I've heard from residents that sometimes it's confusing to them to have the public hearing at Planning Commission because they don't realize that that's their chance. And I love that they have the opportunity here to have public comment at the beginning of the meeting. So, I mean, yeah, we need to hear from them. We need to give them the opportunity to speak. And I'm happy to have them do it here. If there's strong feelings about doing a planning commission, that's fine too. I just have heard that from residents that they like to be able to speak at city council.”

“Well, I see the value in having it at the Planning Commission, too, I guess, because then you do have kind of a preview of, you know, and it says people's names. And if you want to, you can contact them and ask them further about what their thoughts are. Maybe I think we need consistency in kind of decisions. So if we're going to have... a public hearing at two public hearings for something. And if we're going to have one planning commission and city council, then I think that would need to extend to other. Other things, and I don't know if we're ready to do that. I think we need to, like…”
