Parks & Recreation chair Jared Smith said the annual Ride, Roll & Stroll will start at 10 a.m. May 3 at Millrace Park trailhead and run to Arrowhead Park, with participants able to walk, bike, or use a stroller. The committee will host a round‑net tournament May 10 (formerly the spike‑ball event), a movie series beginning in June (confirmed titles include Wild Robot, If, Mufasa and Pirates of the Caribbean) and a 5K on June 28 with an early 7 a.m. start.

“Rocky Mountain Power is wanting to gift us up to $2,000 in vouchers for some trees,” Smith said; the vouchers are intended to replace several trees in Vista Park that died after being planted incorrectly. Smith told the council he would coordinate a volunteer planting day if the vouchers are accepted. Parks staff also reported outreach to local businesses for race swag and indicated they will open registration for events via the city journal and online signups.

Parks discussed a possible fall (Halloween) race for 2026, noting the setup cost for timing and equipment would be roughly $1,200 and could be covered by participant fees if the council chooses to include it in next year’s budget. Smith said Parks will not pursue a 2025 fall race because of scheduling, but will plan for 2026 unless council directs otherwise.

Council members asked about tree placement and neighborhood lighting projects during the parks report; staff said neighborhood lighting rolls out by district and that poles owned by Rocky Mountain Power remain on a different replacement schedule. Parks will coordinate further on planting volunteer days, movie logistics and 5K details and return with registration links and the full event calendar.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","Taylorsville City Council | April 2, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Taylorsville Parks & Recreation announced May–August events including Ride, Roll & Stroll (May 3), a round‑net tournament (May 10), a June movie series and a June 28 5K; Rocky Mountain Power offered up to $2,000 in tree vouchers for park replacements.","taxTitle","Taylorsville City Council, Taylorsville, Salt Lake County, Utah","taxId",21369,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":50,"_51":82,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":83,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":84,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6052978,"Public safety committee starts process to revive Taylorsville Community Emergency Response Team",1045,3549000,4594000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3377359-f4260fa79a91b21a6874bbf13e823112&start=3549&end=4594","/articles/6052978/Utah/Public-safety-committee-starts-process-to-revive-Taylorsville-Community-Emergency-Response-Team","The Taylorsville public safety committee on April 2 reported plans to revive a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) after a well‑attended community meeting.

Tony Henderson, public safety committee chair, said the advisory group advertised the idea for months and held a February meeting that drew about 55 people. “We decided we’re gonna continue that exploration and see if we can get CERT going again,” Henderson said, citing local interest and volunteer experience among attendees.

Committee members described a history of CERT activity in Taylorsville, noting the city previously maintained volunteer teams and equipment caches that fell into disuse. Council members and staff estimated the program had reached roughly 160 volunteers when it was fully active. City staff and committee members said caches remain in place though some supplies will require inspection and replacement.

Next steps the committee outlined include adopting a training schedule based on FEMA’s CERT curriculum, coordinating with nearby teams and emergency‑communications volunteers (ham radio), identifying neighborhood team leads and scheduling quarterly refresher exercises and an annual citywide drill. The committee emphasized sustainability as the primary challenge: keeping volunteers engaged over time and identifying a lead agency to coordinate training and equipment maintenance.

Council members encouraged outreach to younger residents and tying CERT training to neighborhood‑watch and emergency‑preparedness outreach. The committee plans to convene volunteer lists from the February meeting and propose a summer training schedule.","Following strong community interest, Taylorsville’s public safety committee plans to restart a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), with training aligned to FEMA guidance and coordination with regional partners and ham‑radio volunteers.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":50,"_51":92,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":93,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":94,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6052984,"2025 Taylorsville resident survey: majority approve council, parks and email outreach rise as priorities",1090,2404000,3494000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3377359-f4260fa79a91b21a6874bbf13e823112&start=2404&end=3494","/articles/6052984/Utah/2025-Taylorsville-resident-survey-majority-approve-council-parks-and-email-outreach-rise-as-priorities","Y2 consultants presented the results of the 2025 Taylorsville resident survey at the April 2 city council meeting, reporting broad resident satisfaction and specific service priorities to guide budgeting and outreach.

“Overall, residents are really satisfied with the way the city is being run with, 86 saying that they approve of the mayor and city council,” Tatiana, director of research at Y2, told the council as she reviewed headline metrics. Tatiana reported an average quality‑of‑life score of 75 out of 100 and said 55% of respondents believe Taylorsville is heading in the right direction, a five‑point increase from 2024.

Survey methodology: Y2 collected 494 responses using address‑based sampling drawn from the Utah voter file and supplemented with a purchased USPS list of multiunit residences. Tatiana noted staff added Spanish‑language survey options and targeted multiunit addresses this year to improve renter representation; the change affects trend comparability with prior years. Fielding occurred in February through mid‑March and the firm weighted results to reflect the city population.

Key takeaways included high ratings for fire/EMS and garbage collection, strong resident interest in parks and trails, and a preference for email communications even though relatively few residents currently receive city emails. Tatiana said residents prioritized parks/trails when asked to allocate hypothetical budget dollars and showed interest in Localscapes water‑conservation programs, though awareness of those programs remains low.

Council members thanked Y2 for the report and asked for the full, detailed report; staff said the longer report will be distributed to council. The mayor noted the survey is a budget‑planning input and encouraged council and staff to use it to guide grant applications and service decisions.

Methodology and sample details: 494 responses; address‑based sampling; Spanish language option added; fielded Feb–mid‑March; results weighted by Y2. Y2 staff recommended targeted outreach to increase email signups and to raise awareness about water‑conservation programs.","Consultant Y2 presented the 2025 Taylorsville resident survey results on April 2: 86% approval of mayor and council, a 75/100 average quality‑of‑life score, and top concerns of crime, traffic and housing.

City staff presented both items at a public hearing and asked the council to approve an interlocal cooperation agreement with HUD and the consolidated plan that sets city priorities for federal housing and community development funding. “Actually, it’s we have kept it at the same amount as last year,” city staff member Ken said when asked about funding levels. Ken also noted a statutory program limit, saying, “You can only spend 15% of the allocation for public services.”

The consolidated‑plan discussion emphasized housing affordability and shelter capacity. Ken summarized data in the plan to illustrate need: “Someone making minimum wage would have to work a hundred and 24 hours each week to afford a modest 1‑bedroom rental apartment,” a figure the staff memo highlighted as context for allocation choices.

Both public hearings drew no in‑chamber public testimony, and council members moved directly to votes. Paul moved to adopt Resolution 25‑05 (the CDBG/HOME interlocal agreement); the motion passed on a 5‑0 roll call (Council members Barbieri, Knudson, Cochran, Burgess and Chair Harker voting yes). Anna moved and Kurt seconded the motion to adopt Resolution 25‑06 (the five‑year consolidated plan); that motion also passed 5‑0 on roll call.

Council members and staff said the approved documents will guide applications and spending once HUD’s final allocation is confirmed; Ken told the council the precise grant award is expected in May. The consolidated plan identifies housing rehabilitation and shelter support among priorities and notes the limited share of funds available for public‑service providers.
