During a recent Sandy City Council meeting, the council discussed a request from the Central Wasatch Commission (CWC) to approve the city of Holiday as a new voting member. This addition is part of an interlocal agreement that requires existing members to approve any new additions to the commission.

Lindsay, a representative from the CWC, presented the request, emphasizing that all current members have either approved or will soon approve Holiday's membership. This move highlights the growing interest among cities in participating in the CWC, which has been instrumental in regional planning efforts, particularly since the signing of the Mountain Accord a decade ago.

The inclusion of Holiday is seen as a significant step in fostering collaboration among local governments in the Wasatch region. It reflects the ongoing commitment to address shared challenges and opportunities in the area, particularly in relation to environmental and community development issues.

The council's approval of this request is expected to enhance the CWC's effectiveness by bringing more voices to the table, ultimately benefiting the broader community. As the council moves forward, the implications of this decision will likely resonate in future regional planning initiatives.
