Public Comments / Library Announcements (Trudy, Library)

  • 421 tax appointment sessions completed so far this tax season

  • "Human Library" display ongoing — community members encouraged to participate; Natalie Bradley was noted as a participant

  • Upcoming March library events:

    • March 18: Naloxone administration class, in conjunction with Intermountain Healthcare, sponsored by the Happy Healthy Holladay Coalition
    • March 25: Letter Writing Social (first in a series), supported by Perry's Office Supply
    • March 27, 4:00 PM: Introduction to Stop Motion Animation (ages 8–11 especially encouraged), partnering with Utah Film Center
    • March 30, 6:00 PM: Music Bingo (all-ages family event)

Budget Amendment Context (Notable Items)

  • City prosecution services being brought in-house after contracted arrangement ends; current year cost impact: ~$101,000 in salaries/benefits/training/software, offset by $30,000 reduction in contracted services

  • Christmas tree lighting in the village was well-received; budget realigned between electrical infrastructure (lower than expected) and light-hanging costs (higher than expected)

  • Community theater event exceeded ticket sales expectations; a second event is planned

  • Arts Council received a notable individual donation designated for community theater

  • Energy efficiency grant (HVAC for city building): corrected to reflect $100,000 grant revenue + $43,000 city match (previously recorded entirely as grant revenue)

  • First debt service payment of $201,000 made to the Local Building Authority (LBA) for the 2025 LBA Bond covering renovation of city building and Spring Lane

Hazard Mitigation Plan — Key Amendments to City's Annex

  • Avalanche risk mitigation item removed (no historical or current risk in Holladay)

  • Extreme cold mitigation action revised to focus on community education rather than emergency response

  • Lead agency clarified for mitigation action items (previously listed multiple lead agencies)

  • New section added describing integration of mitigation plan into other Emergency Management plans (e.g., SIMP); five-year update cycle noted

Skate Park Agreement: Noted as approximately the 4th or 5th consecutive year of the interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County Recreation Department for late-summer programming at the Holladay Skate Park.

City Manager Report: Addressed during prior briefing session; not repeated at the Council meeting.
