Hi everyone- I attended the Draper City Council Meeting last night and wanted to pass on some of the highlights. The meeting was held right here in SunCrest at the Community Center and was very well attended, almost exclusively by SunCrest residents.
The topics of discussion all pertained to issues regarding our community.
David Decker, the Public Works Director, gave an overview of the Draper City Snow Removal Guide and policies. Each postal customer will soon be receiving a brochure outlining the city's policies and the homeowner's responsibilities.
The fire chief requested that the homeowners "adopt a fire hydrant". It is very important that the fire hydrants remain free of snow in case of a fire. If you live in a cul de sac and you have a fire hydrant that gets blocked by snow that is pushed to the end of the cul de sac by the snowplow, contact the Public Works department at 801-576-6517 and they will send someone to clear the area around the fire hydrant.
You may have noticed that there are 2 large metal poles going up at the intersection of Mike Weir Dr and Traverse Ridge. This will be an electronic sign which will provide information regarding road conditions along Traverse Ridge. A portable sign will also be placed on the Utah County side to provide road condition along Suncrest Drive.
Danyce Steck,the Finance Director, gave a comprehensive overview of the Traverse Ridge Special Services District (TRSSD). There is a monthly report on how the special tax funds are allocated and spent which is posted on the Draper City website: www.draper.ut.us.
The proposed site for a Salt Dome to be placed in SunCrest was discussed by David Decker. The city is looking at several options and the final decision will be made by the City Council following their investigation into the viability of each site. They hope to identify the site by January and have it completed by next summer.
The reason that a Salt Dome is going to be placed in SunCrest is that the largest part of our expense for snow removal is for fuel. Currently, snowplow drivers have to go back down the hill each time they need to replenish the salt on the plows.
An update on the SunCrest Development was given by Assistant City Manager, David Dobbins. He stated that the city council is in discussions with the potential SunCrest developer. Any new developer will have to abide by the development agreement. David also stated that the potential developer is asking for changes to the development agreement. Discussion regarding any changes will be conducted at a public meeting. Keep an eye on the City Council agendas for any such discussion. City Council meets every Tuesday night in the Council Chamber at 7pm, you can check the Draper City website for agenda information.
