Announcements PUBLIC MEETINGS City Council & Planning Commission Special Meeting Wed., 5/18/22, 5:00pm City Hall, 3330 S 1300 E Join virtually HERE Planning Commission Wed., 5/18/22, 6:30pm NEWS New Council Districts Adopted MILLCREEK. The City Council redistricting process was finalized when a new map was adopted at the council meeting held on this past Monday, May 9th. The adopted map, seen above in its proposed form, adjusts the City's four council district boundaries to maintain substantially equal population. It meets the state mandate that the City adopt new districts based on population changes from the 2020 census data within six ---PAGE BREAK--- City Hall, 3330 S 1300 E Join virtually HERE See Agendas below months after the State Legislature completes its decennial redistricting process. An initial set of maps was prepared by city staff to propose various options that followed the guidelines of the Independent Redistricting Commission. The initial maps were presented to the City Council in February and at each of the four Millcreek Community Council meetings held in March and April. Public input was solicited through this newsletter, social media, and a special edition of the City's printed newsletter (that is delivered by the postal service to all Millcreek households). A final public hearing was held to receive public comment on the proposed maps at the April 11th city council meeting. As comments from residents and community councils were reviewed, two additional proposals were developed and one of those (shown above) was adopted on May 9th. As a result of this process, some residents will have their city council representative changed. This was necessary and unavoidable due to the fact that the census showed that the population in the western portion of the City had increased and therefore those districts had to be geographically constricted to even out the voting population. A major change in the eastern part of the City moves the Mt. Olympus Community Council area into one district rather than it being split between districts 3 and 4. This request came from the Mt. Olympus Community Council, and was also heard through many comments from residents. During the upcoming election cycle in 2023, most voters will continue to vote in their existing districts. Those who are impacted by the boundary changes will be voting in the new districts. Residents are encouraged to continue to contact their current city council representatives and/or their new representative with any questions or concerns. An important and foundational aspect of the Millcreek City Council has always been that all members concern themselves with all residents of the City. The focus of any individual councilmember has never been specifically on only the residents living in their district. ---PAGE BREAK--- We appreciate everyone who took the time to send in comments and suggestions. Your input helped us develop and adopt a map that will serve the City well for the next ten years. THE SALT LAKE CITY WATER DEPARTMENT IS PROPOSING A 15% INCREASE IN WATER RATES FOR ALL NON-SLC CUSTOMERS, INCLUDING THOSE IN MILLCREEK If approved by the Salt Lake City Council, the new rate will take effect this coming July 1, 2022.

On Monday, May 9, Mayor Silvestrini and the Millcreek City Council honored the Top 50 young scholars in the City with the first annual “Mayor’s Star of Excellence Award.” This year’s honorees are juniors with a cumulative grade point average of 3.962 or higher, attending Skyline, Olympus, or Cottonwood High. They will be able to include the prestigious recognition on ---PAGE BREAK--- their college and scholarship applications made during their senior year. “We are very proud of these high achievers,” said the Mayor. “The entire community acknowledges their outstanding scholarship, and they all have very bright futures ahead,” he said. “It is really motivating for young people to know that they are being recognized for their hard work,” said award recipient Grey Jensen, Skyline High School. “This award will give students something to strive for.” “I’m so glad to be a part of a wonderful city that recognizes the youth in our city,” said Preston Labrum, award winner from Olympus High. “As a recipient of this award, it reinforces the hard work I have put into my studies and motivates me to continue to show dedication,” added Esther Wilson, Skyline.
