Council declines current land-trade options for parcel next to bike park, authorizes mayor and vice‑mayor to continue talks
Summary
Councilmembers declined the current options presented for parcel 202-05-075 next to the Snowflake Bike Park but authorized the mayor and vice‑mayor to continue negotiations with the landowner to seek alternative arrangements.
The Snowflake Town Council on May 6 voted to decline the landowner's current options for parcel 202-05-075 adjacent to the Snowflake Bike Park but authorized the mayor and vice‑mayor to pursue further discussions with the property owner.
Brian Richards presented the offer the property owners made for the parcel. Councilmembers voiced reservations about the proposals. Greg Brimhall said he was "not interested in pursuing this" as presented, and Mark Sheen said he would not vote in favor of the options as offered but would be willing to consider a different agreement. Travis Kay made the motion — amended to decline the current options while authorizing mayor and vice‑mayor to explore other possibilities — which Cory Johnson seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Council discussion emphasized that town-owned property already provides possible locations for the proposed uses and that more favorable terms might be negotiated. The mayor and vice‑mayor were asked to report back with any alternative proposals.
