Highland City 2019 Review

2019 in review

If you haven’t filled out the 2020 city survey which is due by the end of March please take a few minutes to do so. It is  where you can help assess how the city is doing and provide input on priorities going forward. When looking ahead it is often helpful to look at what progress has been made in the past. Here is a summary of 2019 from a city perspective.

Let’s start with Highland in the news. We were covered in all major local and state news media as well as out of state and national publications. In all we appeared in print and video over 45 times during the year. Below are links to most of the coverage.

In terms of communicating with residents the city held twelve meetings to facilitate resident communications. As mayor I met with residents in the library each month and sponsored four “Issues and Information” meetings.

We’ve conducted an annual city survey since 2016. Below is a brief summary of the results of the 2019 survey as well as the number of respondents from prior years.

The city uses Facebook and Twitter to share information with residents. Scott Hart (Utah’s Highlander) recorded city council meetings, council candidate interviews, the council debate and 2nd meet the candidates event. These were posted on his YouTube channel.  Below are statistics about what was shared.

Additionally, I use my own Facebook page and blog to share information with residents.

Here is a list of significant council accomplishments in 2019 plus a couple of interesting council vote statistics.

Lastly here are a list of key city projects, events, and a summary of the road work performed during the year.

Additional detailed information can be found in resources listed below. Staff, residents, and council accomplished a lot in 2019. Thanks to everyone.
