Highland City Council Preview: 1-Jun-2021

Below is the most recent “2-Minute Tuesday” video from Utah’s Highlander summarizing the May 18th council meeting. It features scenes from the Lord of the Rings and Guardians of the Galaxy. This one got a good chuckle out of me.

This council meeting includes the following agenda items:

  • A pressurized irrigation water update from staff.
  • A legislative update from our state representative Brady Brammer.
  • Approval of the final road maintenance contracts for this year.
  • Formalization of the rules and processes relative to disposing of orphan property. Note, the specific parcels to be disposed of this year will be discussed and approved at a future council meeting.

This meeting will be held at city hall but we will also stream it on our YouTube channel (click here to watch).  Note, individuals in a high-risk category, are encouraged to participate in the meeting virtually!

You can find an abbreviated meeting agenda together with my thoughts below. The complete agenda (106 pages) which includes the staff reports associated with each item can be accessed by clicking here.
