City Council Wants Your Input About the Future of City Hall MILLCREEK. Almost since incorporation, the City has been conducting business and government functions out of a remodeled commercial space in a strip mall at the corner of 33rd South and 13th East (between La Frontera and the Dollar Tree). The City is leasing this space, but the lease ends in the summer of 2023. Accordingly, the City Council is currently considering options for a location from which to conduct city business after the end of the lease. The City recently contracted with Y2Analytics to reach out to residents and determine their wants and needs for a future city hall. This survey was sent to 582 randomly selected households in Millcreek and enough data was collected to produce a statistically significant survey. Here are some findings from the survey: Most respondent are aware of Millcreek City Hall, even if they have not visited. It is widely viewed as a conveniently located start-up space that is adequate for government functions. The majority of respondents support the City finding a space to own for City Hall and believe it is important that the City makes a wise fiscal investment. Many respondents expressed concern about building an excessive City Hall. Residents do not think having a landmark building is important and responded most positively to the message that City officials haven't forgotten negative sentiments surrounding a "Taj-Mahal like" City Hall and ---PAGE BREAK--- want a fiscally responsible plan. Support for building a new City Hall increased after exposure to messages and is strong across all districts. While a public/private partnership was the least requested amenity, nearly 2/3 of respondents support a mixed-use building for cost savings. You can view the full results of Y2Analytic's survey here. However, the City Council is interested in hearing from as many residents as possible about the future of City Hall.

Millcreek City Hall Survey ---PAGE BREAK--- Improvements at Mill Creek Canyon Rattlesnake Trailhead Have Been Completed MILL CREEK CANYON. Improvements at the Rattlesnake trailhead in Mill Creek Canyon have been completed. The heavily used trailhead has transformed from little more than a gravel pullout with no restroom facilities to a paved parking lot that will accommodate 40 vehicles, with two restrooms to help maintain a healthy watershed. ---PAGE BREAK--- Although Mill Creek Canyon does not fall within city boundaries, our residents love and explore the canyon frequently, and we are immensely grateful for the new facilities and parking that can be enjoyed by so many.
