Announcements & Notable Discussion
Historical Commission Speaker Series
on vintage signs across Utah: Monday at 7:00 p.m. (reported by Council Member Brewer)
Fine Art Show
opening reception: March 21, 2025, 6:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m.; show runs through the following Friday (reported by Council Member Fotheringham)
Happy Healthy Holladay Coalition
is advancing the Communities That Care framework to identify key community leaders and form an advisory group (reported by Council Member Durham)
Council Member Quinn
noted a resident observed picking up trash in downtown Holladay on a Sunday morning; expressed appreciation
Council Member Brewer
raised the question of whether Low-Profile Motorized Vehicles should be permitted in bicycle lanes, noting Salt Lake City allows this; suggested future consideration
Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District
is surveying residents about changing trash/recycling billing from quarterly to monthly (reported by Council Member Gray; minutes appear incomplete at this point)
H.B. 454 (Transportation Utility Fee)
City Attorney Godfrey noted Holladay does not currently assess this fee; approximately 30 Utah cities do. Debate at the State level involves exempting religious organizations and non-profits. ULCT opposes such exemptions. Senator Owens supported the exemption; Senator Pitcher opposed it.
Ordinance 2025-01
was notable in that the mover (Council Member Brewer) ultimately voted against the motion he introduced, resulting in a 6-0 defeat.
Note: The meeting minutes appear to end mid-sentence during Council Member Gray's report on the Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District. The summary reflects all content available in the provided document.
