The City Council will consider authorizing the Interlocal Agreement for Utah County to administer the 2021 Municipal Election. Note, the county cost is about $56K for a primary and general election. Our cost estimate for the same is $75K. State law currently requires that all voters receive a mail-in ballot. The county’s system for processing them is more accurate than ours would be. - OPEN SPACE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT: Chamberry Fields Plat B Lot #110 Administrative

The City Council will consider a Real Estate Purchase Contract (REPC) to purchase 0.30 acres located at 10058 North 6000 West, Highland, Utah for a future pressurized irrigation facility for the amount of $125,000. The council has discussed this previously and believes it is a win/win agreement. The property owner had previously looked at splitting his lot to create a second buildable lot. There were significant issues with the because of the nature of the property. However, the property can be be beneficially used in the future by the city for a pressurized irrigation pump station due to its proximity to the Murdock Canal pipe. - PRELIMINARY/FINAL PLAT CONCURRENT REVIEW: Highland Marketplace Phase 2 Administrative
