West Valley City Council approves $850,389 Maverik Center elevator repairs, passes consent agenda and agrees to revisit golf walking rates
Summary
The council authorized $850,389 to update freight and passenger elevators at the Maverik Center and approved an eight-item consent agenda including parks and recreation fee adjustments; staff said it will return with a revision to revisit walking-rate discounts for seniors, military and pass holders.
The West Valley City Council voted to authorize $850,389 in immediate repairs and upgrades to the freight and passenger elevators at the Maverik Center and approved an eight-item consent agenda that included parks and recreation fee adjustments related to the city’s golf course.
City staff introduced Resolution 26-07 to fund the elevator work, describing the update as "immediate and critical." A council member moved to approve the resolution and another seconded; the motion passed by majority after a roll-call vote that recorded one recorded "No" vote from Council member Hune and multiple "Yes" votes from other members.
Earlier, the council considered an eight-item consent agenda that listed Ordinance 26-01 (an amendment to the Fairbourne Community Investment Area Project Plan), Ordinance 26-02 (adjustments to parks and recreation fees related to the golf course), Resolutions 26-01 through 26-05 (interlocal agreements with Salt Lake County, an amendment with Taylorsville City for animal services, an interlocal for aerial services, a law enforcement services agreement with the State of Utah, and a cooperative agreement amendment with UDOT), and a right-of-way agreement with acceptance of a warranty deed. A council member moved to approve the consent agenda "in total," and the council approved it unanimously.
The parks and recreation fee changes prompted questions about golf pricing raised during public comment. During council discussion, city staff said it could return with a revision to the fee schedule if the council wanted to add or restore a separate walking rate. As an unidentified staff member put it, "we could certainly bring back, if... council wanted to approve this tonight, we could bring back a revision to the fee schedule, including that." Council members agreed to approve the consent items while asking staff to return with a proposed revision on walking-rate discounts for seniors, military and season-pass holders.
The elevator authorization allows staff to proceed with the requested repairs; the council also elected a mayor pro tem and adjourned the meeting. Council members did not take immediate formal action on public comments about golf pricing beyond directing staff to prepare a possible fee-schedule revision for a future meeting.
