April 6, 2010 City Council Meeting

Items presented at the Highland City Council meeting on April 6, 2010

1) Delinquent Business Licenses. There were 29 out of 365 business licenses delinquent. Authorization to revoke these delinquent business licenses passed council unanimously.

2) Consideration of Removal of Stice Acres Subdivision Plat Condition, 6900 West 10300 North. Consideration about removing the restriction for Large Animals. After lengthy discussion, it was decided that the City does not have the authority to enforce the subdivision plat requirements.

3) Discussion about a proposal from UDOT to transfer the jurisdiction of SR-74 from UDOT to Highland City. Questions arose about the cost to Highland City to assume this jurisdiction. Discussion about exchanging 4800 West for SR-74 occurred. Motion to study the cost of each, 4800 West and SR-74, was passed. Also goal set to have UDOT present at a city council meeting to present more information passed unanimously.

4) IM Flash/Lehi Annexation Proposal discussed. IM Flash has requested that Highland not protest Lehi's annexation of IM Flash. Discussion covered following:
a) annexation is proposal of property owner (IM Flash) not Lehi City.
b) Kathryn Schramm argued that annexation policy had already been agreed on earlier.
c) Larry Mendenhall suggested a "sales pitch" to IM Flash for Highland's land.

Plan decided on: Letter from City to Lehi notifying that HIghland will protest the annexation. This was agreed on unanimously by the Council.

5) Timpanogos Special Service District Information. There are plans to expand this adjacent to the existing site. Bids are in. Highland utilities have already had one increase to support the cost of this facility. There will be two more increases over the next three years, likely a 15-20% increase in our sewer costs.

6) There is a Special Council Meeting set to interview the final 3 candidates for City Administrator on May 6th.

Though this summary seems short, the meeting lasted 2 1/2 hours; this is the Readers Digest version. Thanks to all for supporting HOPE and being involved in our community.
