General Meeting

Utah Soccer Federation facility use agreement

The Council approved a 25-year property use agreement with the Utah Soccer Federation for two multi-use athletic fields and related amenities at 14002 S Sentinel Ridge Blvd. The City’s contribution includes the site property and a short sidewalk segment; the Association will design and construct the facilities and receive seasonal scheduling priority. The agreement also addresses reservations, operations, and maintenance.

Fiscal Year 2025 audit

Independent auditors presented the Fiscal Year 2025 (July 2024-June 2025) audited financial statements as required by state law. The compliance audit produced no findings for the year, or in other words, a clean report of the City's financial accounting.

Work Meeting

Transportation Master Plan & impact fees

Staff outlined the draft Transportation Master Plan update and corridor plans. After more fine-tuning and revisions, the plan will be up for adoption in a future meeting. To see the current draft, see www.herriman.gov/transportationplan.

Teton Commercial project MDA

The Council discussed a proposed amendment to the Teton Commercial project (located near 11800 South and 6000 West) master development agreement. The developer suggested replacing a large commercial lot with mixed-use (residential and commercial) buildings, citing a concern that the lot may not be viable for a larger business. The Council was against the idea for this location but may consider a similar layout in mixed-use areas in Olympia in the future.

Budget preview

The Council continued its preparatory work for the budget for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 (which run from July to June). This discussion focused on revenue trends and debt service obligations. 

First Home Investment Zones

The Council discussed the mechanics of the state-allowed First Home Investment Zone (FHIZ) tool. The zone, if approved by the state and used, can help cities pay for infrastructure within the zone through redirected property tax revenue with a requirement that a specified portion of homes in the zone be of a certain pricing threshold and owner-occupied. In general, residences within the area would need to be built with a density of 30 homes per acre. This discussion was informational only and no decisions were made.
