MOTION: Approval of an Interlocal Agreement - Creating the North Utah County Aquifer Council. We discussed a proposal to participate in the North County Aquifer Council an organization which will replace the North Utah County Aquifer Association which was recently dissolved. The objective of this group is to review projects proposed by member cities that would recharge the aquifer from which we get our drinking water. Participating cities would fund the project not the new council. The agreement is being finalized and the motion was continued to a future meeting. Click here for details from the agenda.
MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL & STAFF COMMUNICATION ITEMS
- Open Space Maintenance Agreement – Erin Wells, Assistant to the City Administrator. The previous open space maintenance agreement was suspended when the council approved an ordinance allowing residents to purchase open space land bordering their property under certain conditions. The maintenance agreement is being updated and we will likely allow it to be used again in order for residents to maintain land adjacent to their property (to make it look nicer) in cases where easements prohibit a sale of open space land. Multiple residents from Chamberry. Residents expressed a willingness to have a grass only agreement although most of the council (Brian, Tim and Ed) would be OK with grass, gardens or flower beds with cement curbing but no fences. Staff directed to work on an agreement. The specific area of interest in this agreement is shown below. In this case, an 18” water main runs through the open space land to which it is in the best interest of the city to maintain unrestricted access rights.
