Bluffdale council approves annual appointments, names treasurer and recorder, and OKs settlement with Jordan Valley Water
Summary
Bluffdale City Council approved annual organizational resolutions naming a mayor pro tem and representatives, confirmed the city treasurer and recorder, and authorized a settlement and release with the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District to reimburse cleanup costs from an October mudslide.
Bluffdale — The Bluffdale City Council on Jan. 14 approved a set of annual organizational resolutions and authorized a settlement with the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District to reimburse the city for costs from a fall mudslide.
Council members unanimously approved Resolution 2026-1 to name Greg Wilding the mayor pro tem. The council also approved Resolution 2026-2 appointing Councilmember Smith as the city's representative to the Association of Municipal Councils and Resolution 2026-3 naming Stephanie Thayer as treasurer and Tammy Timothy as city recorder.
On a separate agenda item, city staff described an October mudslide that crossed 14600 South near the railroad crossing. The city sought reimbursement for cleanup and related expenses; the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District agreed to reimburse the city contingent on signing a settlement and release. City staff told the council the affected slope will likely be rebuilt as part of the 14600 South project, and the city engineer had no concern about approving the settlement.
Councilmember Austin moved to approve the settlement resolution and the council voted to adopt it by voice vote.
The council handled the appointments and settlement during its regular meeting; the Local Building Authority and Redevelopment Agency then held separate, brief organizational meetings where related annual training was acknowledged and RDA officer appointments were ratified.
What’s next: The settlement requires execution of the release agreement with the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District as described in the meeting packet; no additional public hearing on that settlement was scheduled during the meeting.
