Multiple residents and community‑group representatives addressed the Midvale City Council during the public‑comment period on Oct. 21, 2025, raising neighborhood and community‑service topics.

Luke Mains, secretary of the Midvale Community Council, updated the council that the community council’s website is live at midvalecc.org, announced a Halloween‑decoration contest with local gift‑card prizes, and said the group is partnering with the Boys and Girls Club to collect donations and assist at a Halloween party. He also said the community council has filed for 501(c)(3) status and has an EIN and that committees (active transportation, events, beautification, communications) will meet at the next council meeting.

Resident Dave Hamilton asked the council to reconsider recently installed speed humps on Twin Peaks Street. Hamilton said his neighbor surveyed 29 of 41 homes and reported mixed responses: "Do you want speed bumps on this on your street? 18 people said yes" and other percentages for location preferences. Hamilton said the two installed humps are "ineffective" and urged the city to remove them, arguing the money spent on two was wasted if they do not slow traffic. City staff and the city engineer told him the contractor installed the wrong type of hump and staff are working with the contractor to remove and replace the units with the correct design; the city said it will follow up with Hamilton.

Sue Armitage thanked the city for additional garbage cans on Main Street and said she will pursue more benches and speed enforcement; she also said she will explore scheduling Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training for residents.

Two teenagers, Kirtana Perla and Vitalia (present with her son), asked the council to study adding public glass recycling collection points. Perla said she and Vitalia met with John Lair, CEO of Momentum, which Perla identified as Utah’s sole glass recycler, and that jurisdictions that add more public drop‑off points typically see substantial increases in glass recycling. Perla said a petition had garnered about 200 signatures and that curbside glass recycling is available in Midvale for $8 per month but that not all residents (for example, renters in apartments) can use curbside service. Councilmembers including Bonnie Billings and Bridal Brown expressed support for studying East Side collection locations and suggested the Walmart parking lot as a possible public site subject to property owner permission.

No formal council action was taken during public comment; several council members thanked speakers and encouraged follow up with staff.

These public comments were heard between the UFA report and council reports in the Oct. 21 meeting.
