Council approves $155,000 amendment to Midas Creek Trail reimbursement agreement
Summary
The Herriman City Council approved a first amendment to the Midas Creek Trail reimbursement agreement to cover $155,000 in change-order costs, raising the maximum reimbursable amount to $1,805,000. Some members voiced concern about trail connectivity and the long-term adequacy of impact-fee projections.
Herriman — The council approved a first amendment to the Midas Creek Trail reimbursement agreement to account for an additional $155,000 in eligible reimbursable costs from change orders, bringing the total maximum reimbursable amount to $1,805,000.
Speaker 3 moved the amendment; the motion was recorded as “Motion by Jared” and was seconded “by Sherry.” Several council voices recorded affirmative votes and the motion carried. The motion text introduced at the meeting said the change would increase the project’s reimbursable cap to $1,805,000 to reflect changed construction costs.
The amendment drew brief pushback about how the trail segments fit into the larger network. Speaker 2 warned, “But if we don't do it, the trail doesn't connect,” urging the council to align the budget so trail segments do not end at a roadway. Earlier in the meeting Speaker 1 cautioned that “in 2 to 3, 4 years, if our impact fees aren't keeping up with our projections, we would have to reevaluate the list we had provided,” noting the city will revisit priorities if revenues fall short.
Council discussion on the amendment focused on covering change-order costs so construction could proceed without leaving a disconnected segment; no roll-call tally associating named councilmembers to individual votes was entered into the transcript, but the record shows multiple affirmative votes following the second. The amendment and the expanded reimbursable cap are intended to allow the contractor and the city to finalize the segment while staff continues monitoring impact-fee revenues.
The council moved on to other business after the vote. The amendment text and associated contract language will be finalized in the administrative record and available through city staff on request.
