Unidentified Speaker, the presiding official at the Fairview Town Council special meeting, said the council would recess into closed session before returning to public session and moving forward on a settlement outline with the LDS Church.
"I make a motion we approve the nonbinding memorandum of settlement with the LDS Church," the presiding official said. A second was recorded and those present voted "Aye," with the presiding official stating, "So we are unanimous." The transcript notes, "Councilman Doi is not here." The council adjourned after the vote.
The presiding official described the next steps the council expects to follow: hold a public work session so residents can ask questions, accept a new submission from the LDS Church to the planning and zoning commission, allow P&Z to review and take action, and then return the matter to the council. The earliest the presiding official said the item might come before the council again is March or April.
The meeting record shows the council cited "section 5 5 1.071" to consult with legal counsel and "section 5 5 1.072" to discuss real property matters during the closed session. The memorandum the council approved for acceptance is explicitly nonbinding in the motion language recorded on the public transcript.
The council did not provide vote tallies by name in the public record; the transcript records only that those present said "Aye" and that the vote was unanimous among attendees. No additional details on the memorandum's terms were read into the public record during this brief session. The council said it would share the information discussed in closed session with the public after the executive session.
The meeting ended with the council adjourned. The planning and zoning commission review and any subsequent council action were described as the next procedural steps.
