In the recent annual meeting of the Utah League of Cities and Towns (ULCT), Millcreek Mayor Jeff Silvestrini was unanimously elected to be the organization’s president for the 2022-23 year. He had been serving as the ULTC’s first vice president, where he led the Legislative Policy Committee. "The League does great work in advocating for cities," said Mayor Silvestrini. "The ---PAGE BREAK--- organization helps cities to partner with state government to improve and maintain local quality of life around statewide policy issues such as growth, housing, water, homelessness, transportation, and trails. Through my involvement in the ULTC, Millcreek has a seat at the decision-making table on these issues." Millcreek’s visibility has already paid dividends in the form of grants and appropriations that has enabled the city to upgrade its infrastructure, acquire open space, and improve the community. Indeed, Millcreek has received over $35 million in grants since incorporation, and over $14 million in the last year alone. “Mayor Silvestrini brings a great, collaborative leadership style to this post,” said outgoing president, South Jordan Mayor Dawn Ramsey. “He’s well respected statewide, and has really put Millcreek on the map,” she said. The ULTC represents Utah’s 253 incorporated municipalities. Almost 1,400 Utah mayors and city council members currently participate in the organization, which has been an advocate for local government since 1907. ---PAGE BREAK--- Member of the Salt Lake County Search and Rescue team helping LifeFlight to hoist paraglider off of Grandeur Peak in March 2018.

A hang glider crashed earlier this month and was injured on the slopes of Grandeur Peak just above Crestwood Drive. While he wasn't sure exactly ---PAGE BREAK--- where he was when he called for help, he used the app What3Words to help guide rescuers to his location. What3Words is an app that identifies every 10 square feet on earth with three random words. For example, ten feet inside Millcreek City Hall's council chambers is identified as porch.cost.ruler. Opening the app identifies your three-word location (with GPS accuracy within 65 feet), which can be shared with a rescue dispatcher. The rescuer can search easily within the app for the identified words, and is quickly directed to your location. "Having an app such as this can be very useful in an emergency," said Unified Fire Authority's Battalion Chief Duane Woolsey, who recently reported the hang glider's rescue to the City Council. He suggested that residents who like to venture into the outdoors should consider taking along this or a similar app. TONIGHT Calling all Superheroes and Villains for theme night Friday!
