Council approves series of items including airport AWOS contract, design services for clubhouse and a rezoning; votes summarized
Summary
Hurricane City Councilors approved multiple administrative and capital items, including airport equipment, design services for a clubhouse remodel and a small rezoning, while also granting a one-time impact-fee waiver to Washington County's Legacy Park project.
Hurricane City Councilors took several final votes on routine and capital items during the meeting. Key outcomes:
Waiver of Legacy Park electrical impact fee — approved The council approved a request from Washington County to waive the city's 400-amp power-impact fee for Legacy Park trailer rental pads, a one-time waiver of $9,803; the county still must pay a $425 connection fee. The motion passed on a roll-call vote; council members recorded in the roll call included Councilman Preet (yes), Councilman Ellerman (no), Councilman Fawcett (yes) and Mayor Hershey (yes). The meeting record did not list a complete roll-call tally for all seats.
Skyrim development boundary-line adjustment — approved (unanimous) Councilors approved a minor boundary-line agreement and reciprocal quick-claim deed to realign the city's parcel around a proposed development east of Walmart. Staff said the adjustment will not reduce the city's parcel area and the water department determined the change poses no negative impacts.
Resolution 2025-25, historical committee appointments — approved (unanimous) Council adopted Resolution 2025-25 to appoint Ruben Wadsworth as a regular member of the historical committee and designate Dan Zaleski as an alternate member so the committee can maintain quorum during temporary absences.
Ordinance cleanup (Ordinances 2024-13 and 2024-14) — approved (unanimous) Council approved Ordinance 2025-10 to correct and confirm prior amendments made in late 2024 governing medical-transport takeoffs/landings and transient lodging rules in commercial zones. The item was described as clerical "house cleaning" to reconcile sequencing errors in earlier redlines.
AWOS installation at Hurricane Airport — bid award approved Council awarded the bid to install an all-weather observation system (AWOS) at the airport to Mesquite Electric LLC for $345,800; staff reported the city's share of that contract will be $132,006.25. The airport board recommended the award at its May 20 meeting. The council authorized the award with funds to be scheduled in the July budget cycle.
Sky Mountain Clubhouse remodel — consultant contract approved Council approved a contract with Kim Campbell (architecture/engineering) and Johnson Veil Engineering to provide architecture, engineering and construction oversight for the Sky Mountain Golf Course clubhouse remodel and addition; the design services contract is $211,600. City staff described the fee as competitive and recommended proceeding.
Zoning amendment ZC25-13 (40 N / 2480 W) — approved (unanimous) Council approved a zone change request to rezone a small parcel at 40 North / 2480 West from multifamily (RM-2, 10 units/acre) to Highway Commercial (HC). The property owner and applicant indicated plans for a small commercial or professional office building and the planning commission recommended approval conditioned on adequate parking.
Several items passed unanimously by a voice vote or formal roll call; the meeting record indicates when votes were unanimous and records roll-call responses when made. Council did not take action to sell the civic-center land; further direction on civic-center planning was to come from staff work on cost and concept options.
