General Meeting
Law enforcement recognitions
Police chiefs from Logan City and Brigham City and the Brigham City mayor formally recognized a Herriman Police officer and sergeant for their crucial role in helping honor two Tremonton-Garland Police officers killed in the line of duty last year. Sergeant Greg Shaver and Officer Chuck Malm spent many long days away from home coordinating memorial services, processions, and other logistics in addition to their regular duties. The Herriman Police Department was also thanked for allowing the officers to serve while ensuring local duties were covered.
Floodplain and Stormwater Management Association Award
The Council recognized the City’s Public Utilities Engineering Manager, Jonathan Bowers, who received this year’s Denis D. Stuhff Award of Excellence from the Utah Floodplain and Stormwater Management Association. The award honors leadership and long-term contributions in floodplain management, stormwater planning, and dam safety efforts across Utah.
6000 West widening
The construction contract was approved for Phase 1 of the 6000 West (Pioneer Street) widening between Herriman Boulevard and Silver Sky Drive. The project will start in coming weeks and will include a three lanes with curb, gutter, sidewalk, landscaped park strips, storm drain, secondary water improvements, and streetlights. The project's cost is estimated at $4.5 million, of which $827,000 will be paid by the Jordan Basin Improvement District for sewer improvements.
Citywide fencing standards update
The Council approved a change in the City's fencing standards. The update consolidates general regulations to reduce redundancy, removes conflicts between chapters, clarifies height and material standards, allows wood fencing in all zones, and changes rules for fences in forest recreation and natural open space areas to better protect views and wildlife movement.
Land-use applications in limited water areas
The City established a new procedure allowing land-use applications to be submitted in areas where water infrastructure is not yet fully in place but is in design or under construction. Developers may submit subdivision applications, obtain plan approvals, and build supporting infrastructure, but building permits will not be issued until the needed water systems are completed and accepted. Previously, applications for expected developments could not be accepted until water infrastructure was fully in place, delaying infrastructure and other construction.
Work Meeting
Mountain View Corridor betterments and signage
The Council reviewed proposed “betterments” and signage associated with the freeway phase of Mountain View Corridor from Porter Rockwell Boulevard to Old Bingham Highway, which is expected to start construction in 2027. UDOT committed up to $100,000 per intersection for aesthetic features such as lighting, fencing, and lettering. The discussion covered options like upgrading to wrought iron bridge fencing with an estimated cost that would require a minor City contribution.
Budget discussions
Staff led an initial discussion on proposed budgets for the Information Technology, Communications, Legal, and Human Resources departments. This item is one of many budget-related conversations over several months leading up to a final budget approval expected in the summer.
