Midvale council approves consent agenda, including authorization to use ranked‑choice voting pending state approval
Summary
The council approved the consent agenda unanimously. Items included minutes, an interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County for traffic signal maintenance, the 2025 fleet purchase and surplus list, and a resolution authorizing the use of ranked‑choice voting for the municipal election subject to legislative allowance.
The Midvale City Council unanimously approved its consent agenda at the Feb. 4 meeting, advancing routine administrative items and a voting‑method resolution to the record.
The consent package included approval of minutes for Jan. 21, 2025; Resolution 2025‑R‑06, an interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County for traffic signal maintenance; the city’s 2025 fleet purchase and surplus list; and Resolution 2025‑R‑08, authorizing the use of an alternative voting method—ranked‑choice voting—for the 2025 municipal election contingent on state authorization. A council member moved to approve; the motion was seconded and passed on a unanimous roll call.
City staff noted that ranked‑choice voting will be used “for full elections this year as long as the legislature allows us,” and officials asked residents to monitor state bill tracking for potential changes affecting municipal election procedures. The council’s approval places the city in position to deploy ranked‑choice procedures should the state permit it prior to the election.
Roll call for the consent agenda was recorded and the motion passed without dissent. The interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County assigns traffic signal maintenance responsibilities as described in Resolution 2025‑R‑06; staff will proceed with the procurement and fleet procedures included in the approved 2025 list.
