Meeting History

Oct 6, 2026 · City audio (council + study meetings)

• Fire station funding: the Municipal Building Authority (a city-controlled board used to finance buildings) approved up to $27 million in lease revenue bonds to build Fire Station 65 on the growing west side. A bond is a loan the city repays over time. With a lease revenue bond, the board borrows the money and builds the station, and the city pays it back through lease payments, with the station as collateral. Staff said no tax increase is needed. Two public hearings drew no comments, and the vote was unanimous.
• Chose Councilmember Patrick Harris as mayor pro tem, the acting mayor who runs the meeting, for Oct 20 while Mayor Dawn Ramsey is away on city business.
• Roads: UDOT has connected the new U-111 and closed part of old Bacchus Highway. South Jordan Parkway, Lake Avenue and Dock Sider should connect in a couple of weeks. Lake Avenue will be right-in/right-out only, with no left turns or signal.
• Public comment: state Rep. Tracy Miller invited residents to a legislative town hall. A Glenmore resident complained about rising HOA fees and stray golf balls; the city attorney said HOA fees and golf course netting are private matters the city cannot regulate.
• Announcements: Josh was named the city's new communications manager, Sandbox Theater previewed its musical "Lucky Stiff," and the Halloween 5K is Oct 17 at Bingham Creek Regional Park.
• Study meeting, a discussion-only session with no votes: U.S. Rep. Mike Kennedy talked about federal project funding and data centers raising power costs. UDOT presented a guide for cities on drones and vertiports (landing pads for drones and air taxis). Staff reported progress rewriting the city's development code, the zoning and building rules. The council then went into a closed session, a private meeting allowed by state law, to discuss an individual's character and competence; no votes are taken there.
