Proposed mixed-use development

[Development proposal video link]

The Council and staff reviewed a developer's proposal for a mixed-use residential and commercial development near 3700 West and 15000 South to see if the City has any interested in continued conversations after a similar proposal was reviewed and recommended for denial by the Planning Commission. The proposal includes some housing as well as commercial lots aimed for hotels. The Council is interested in continuing discussions but it is far to early to say if the proposal will ultimately be approved.

Budget discussion

[Budget discussion video link]

The Council and staff talked about projections for the City's general fund over the next ten years. The projection's model assumed all capital projects planned would be built, showing a deficit over time. The Council will have more discussions later in the year on the City's stance on balancing level of service with realistically available funding.
