Council votes: plaque to be funded by donations; general‑plan water element adopted; several resolutions approved
Summary
At its Dec. 16 business meeting, the Cottonwood Heights City Council tabled ordinance 4‑55 in favor of a donations‑funded plaque, adopted ordinance 4‑56 (water use element), rejected ordinance 4‑57 (Mineshaft Road exception), and approved several resolutions including a development agreement amendment, surplus property declaration, advisory committee appointments, an interlocal funding amendment, and a retirement honor.
The Cottonwood Heights City Council took action on multiple ordinances and resolutions Tuesday evening.
Honorary naming/plaque — Ordinance 4‑55: Council members debated whether ordinance 4‑55 would create an honorary street renaming or a plaque recognizing a sister‑city partnership. Council member Matt Holton moved to amend and approve the recognition on the basis that donations would cover costs and citizen committee members would work with staff; legal staff advised a plaque could be handled by voice vote. The council tabled the ordinance and supported proceeding with a donations‑funded plaque (voice vote: all said "aye").
General Plan amendment — Ordinance 4‑56: Council approved an amendment to the general plan to include a water use and preservation element. Motion to approve by Council member Sean Newell, second by Council member Burrell. Roll call votes were recorded in favor by Newell, Burrell, Holton, Hyland and the presiding mayor.
Controlled access exception — Ordinance 4‑57: The council considered an exception that residents requested for Mineshaft Road (see separate coverage). Council member Burrell moved to approve and Mayor Wickers seconded. The roll call produced two affirmative votes (Burrell and Mayor Wickers) and three negative votes (Holton, Hyland, Newell); the motion failed and the exception was not adopted.
Resolutions and other actions: The council approved Resolution 2025‑75 (an amendment to a development agreement), Resolution 2025‑76 (declaring certain property surplus), Resolution 2025‑77 (appointments to the Health and the Heights advisory committee) and Resolution 2025‑79 (awarding retiring Sergeant Ken Daly his badge and approving purchase of his police firearm). The council also approved Resolution 2025‑78 (an amendment to an interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County for trail funding) on a 4–1 vote (Council member Burrell recorded as voting "No" on the final roll call). The consent calendar (minutes from the Dec. 2 joint work session) was approved and the meeting was adjourned.
Below are the formal recorded motions and outcomes from the meeting.
