During department reports the council heard from Hurricane Valley Fire District, which noted an increase in calls tied to the recently opened truck stop and reported the district had approved a 0.33-cent sales tax measure to fund EMS and reduce property tax burden. The fire chief also described recent training/burn operations and activity near a house used for training.
Public Works described flood damage and remediation at Trail Ridge Park and Westfield Park, noted the installation of frisbee golf baskets and planned sidewalk grinding and tank inspections, and outlined leaf pickup and community cleanup logistics. Planning staff previewed upcoming planning commission items and reminded council the certification of election results will move a meeting to Nov. 18.
On a related regulatory item, council adopted a resolution to amend the city's standards and specifications to clarify minimum intersection and driveway spacing adjacent to the parkway, aligning the parkway spacing with UDOT's 300-foot centerline standard. Council made the change specific to the parkway to avoid retroactive changes to existing local intersections.
