General Meeting

Moment of silence

• The meeting started with a moment of silence in memory of the recently fallen Tremonton-Garland Police Department officers who were killed in the line of duty early last week.

Public comments

• A resident living near the Life Time Fitness project asked that the master development agreement on the agenda tonight include a requirement for sufficient privacy and distance from the neighborhood.

Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District report

The district's general manager provided the annual report and outlined cost pressures that prompted a 2025 fee increase of $6.50 per month, bringing the base rate to $26. WFWRD's process changes to reduce costs including fewer costly go‑backs for false missed can reports, different vehicles, and a reduction of some extra services. Herriman’s 2025 recycling diversion rate measured 19%, with 1,298 tons of recycling and 406 tons of green waste reported year‑to‑date.

Life Time Fitness master development agreement

The Council approved a master development agreement for a Life Time Fitness at 4684 W 12600 South. The agreement includes an increased setback buffer from the adjacent neighborhood with a landscaped berm outside of an iron fence (for privacy), a large sign, a mix of building materials, and a reduction of transportation impact fees. The reduction of fees is due in large part because the Utah Department of Transportation will take ownership of 12600 South in coming years, which means projects on Herriman City's master plans for that road will no longer be necessary in City finances.

Property maintenance code adoption

Adoption of the International Property Maintenance Code updated the City’s minimum standards for occupied structures and premises. The code defined basic requirements for building exteriors and interiors, sanitation, and nuisance abatement, providing a framework for enforcement.

Old Town waterline project scope

The Old Town Waterline Project has had several mid-project change-orders that have added unexpected costs and taken a significant portion of the pre-planned extra funding cushion. Most of the project's funding comes from federal EPA funding. But due to those costs and to avoid overrunning the original budget—due in large part to actual on-site conditions and existing infrastructure differing from old construction documents—the Council chose to eliminate a section of the project on 13400 South and finish the parts in Old Town areas. 

Sentinel Ridge park agreement

The City Council discussed a proposed agreement to allow Utah Soccer Federation to build two multi‑use athletic fields and related amenities on City‑owned land at 14002 S Sentinel Ridge Blvd. It would grant 25 years of priority scheduling (12 spring and 12 fall weeks) upon completion. The organization will fund the athletic fields and the City would fund at least a portion of restrooms and park strips. The discussion will continue in a future meeting.

City Council board and committee reports

• Councilmember Hodges, representing the Jordan Basin Improvement District board, talked about a recent site visit to another state's facilities to get a close-up view of an expanded site as the JBID makes initial plans to expand its own facilities.
• Councilmember Ohrn, representing the Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District board, noted the retirement of general manager Pam Roberts and the introduction of the new general manager, who spoke at the meeting
• Councilmember Ohrn, representing the Trans-Jordan Cities board, talked about a ribbon cutting earlier in the day for the new waste transfer station in Sandy that's soon to open to residents to dispose of garbage.
• Mayor Palmer congratulated recently retired Herriman Police Officer Jake Burns
