Herriman’s municipal election results were certified earlier this week, hosts of the Herrimanology podcast said, confirming several council returns and changes and citing a 31% turnout among registered voters.
“Earlier this week, the election results for the Herriman City Council and mayor got, certified,” Host (S3) said. Hosts named re-elected and incoming members: Council member Henderson remains in District 1; Teddy Hodges will serve again for District 2; Matt Basham will be the new city council member for District 3; and Tara Anderson won a special two-year term to complete a vacated seat.
Host (S3) said the oath of office is expected in early January, though an exact date was not specified. “Had, I think, it was 31% voter turnout registered voters,” Host (S3) said, calling turnout the second-highest in recent Herriman municipal elections and urging increased participation in future cycles.
The podcast also reported infrastructure and development updates. Host (S3) said the Bangerter and 01/1934 interchange project is complete and that an internal celebration for project staff is scheduled; the hosts thanked “DOT” for the work and noted only minor post-opening traffic-signal tweaks may follow.
In response to a listener question about a Sam’s Club coming to South Herriman, hosts said the city “has contacted” potential businesses but had no specific commitments to announce. Host (S1) reiterated that the city routinely reaches out to retailers but that multiple private parties must agree before a store is located.
Hosts also discussed the South Hills and Panorama residential developments. Host (S3) said roads in South Hills are paved or mostly paved and that main access is off Mountain View; however, water-tank infrastructure must be finished before substantial homebuilding can proceed. Host (S1) said houses would likely begin appearing next summer, contingent on completion of water facilities and Juniper Crest access work.
The hosts closed by thanking residents who ran for office and encouraging higher turnout in future municipal elections.
