Reports: No UFA or UPD reports were presented at this meeting. Anita Nelson (Millcreek Township Code Enforcement) introduced herself as the primary code enforcement officer for the MOCC region. She briefly discussed limitations on placing campaign signage in the public right of way and the ordinances regulating short term home rentals. Her phone number is (801) 381-3359 if anyone has any specific code enforcement requests or questions. The Council briefly discussed the results of the Wildfire Prevention Clinic held the previous weekend. Attendance was poor, due to competing neighborhood events and inclement weather. BUSINESS: 1. Kyle Taft updated the Council on the Neighborhood Cleanup project scheduled for Saturday, May 21, 2016. Council members were encouraged to identify target areas in the neighborhood for cleanup/beautification. The Council suggested both the Wasatch Blvd corridor and Fortuna Park as “short list” sites. Russ Wall previously committed to paying for the waste trailers, along with the permanent water service to the Blvd strip (money is in the current budget for the initial water service). ---PAGE BREAK--- 2. Senator Jani Iwamoto provided a summary of significant legislation she was involved in during the last state legislative session (see attached summary from Sen. Iwamoto). 3. The Council briefly discussed the pending plan by FEMA/State of Utah/Salt Lake County to revise the Neff’s Creek flood plain within the neighborhood. These government entities are inviting all property owners affected by the change and the general neighborhood to a Q&A presentation on May 16 and May 17, 2016. David Baird offered to secure the Churchill Jr. High Auditorium for these events to accommodate the very large anticipated neighborhood attendance for these events. No action was taken by the Council on this topic as they have yet to receive any formal information from any of the regulatory authorities making this amendment to the flood plain. 4. John Knoblock updated the Council on the Mt. Accord and the efforts underway to establish the National Conservation and Wilderness Designation for the Grandeur Peak Wilderness Area and the Lone Peak Wilderness Area. Topics of how to provide (or limit) future transportation infrastructure and solidifying the boundaries of the 4 ski resorts within the Cottonwood Canyons were briefly discussed. This item was purely an informing item for the Council and no action was taken. 5. Rita Lund (Township Services) discussed 1) the pending departure of Russ Wall and the hiring of Rick Graham, who will assume initial responsibilities of administering the MSD, 2) Slurry seal treatments applied to portions of the neighborhood last fall didn’t adhere correctly and will be replaced by the contractor as a warranty item this spring, and 3) the 2300 East improvement project is progressing but the contractor has expressed concern that people are consistently driving too fast through construction zones. Meeting Adjourned at 8:45 pm. Minutes recorded and submitted by David Baird
