During a recent city council meeting, the administration welcomed two new officials, administering their oaths of office in a ceremony that underscored the community's appreciation for public service. The mayor expressed gratitude for the opportunity to introduce the new members, emphasizing the importance of their roles in serving the city and its residents.

Following the swearing-in ceremony, the council opened the floor for general public comments, allowing citizens to voice their concerns and suggestions. Each speaker was allotted three minutes to ensure a structured and respectful dialogue.

One notable comment came from Craig Alridge, a resident of Sandy, who urged the council to initiate an environmental impact statement (EIS) study for Highland Drive. Alridge referenced previous efforts by both Draper and Sandy City administrations to secure federal funding for this study, highlighting the long-standing interest in the continuation of Highland Drive. His remarks were part of a broader call for action on local infrastructure projects, reflecting community engagement in city planning and development.

The meeting showcased the council's commitment to transparency and public involvement, as they encouraged residents to participate in discussions that shape their community.
