Committee schedules July work session on Miller parcel; Lundeen easement documents face a county deadline

The Midway Open Space Committee agreed to hold a single‑issue work session in July to focus on the Miller property — a privately owned interior block that committee members and landowners said could provide trail connections and interior open space if acquired or managed in partnership. Committee members discussed draft trail lines, potential public access, and whether a hybrid conservation subdivision (preserving open space while allowing a small number of home sites) could reduce acquisition costs.

Chair proposed a July work session and the group settled on a mid‑July date in the transcript discussion (committee members referenced July 8 as a target for a single‑issue meeting; staff later refined scheduling to fit council timelines). The committee asked staff and Utah Openlands to develop a dollar figure and a trail plan in advance of any city council presentation.

Separately, staff and Wendy updated the committee on the Lundeen conservation easement. Multiple attorneys have reviewed the purchase and sale and conservation documents; staff reported the county council was expected to consider the item at a meeting on the 10th and that the NRCS funding timeline and some opposing parties' pressure create urgency. Staff said they aimed to circulate final documents to stakeholders by Friday to align with that county schedule.

No formal votes were recorded on Miller; committee members requested a follow‑up work session and directed staff to coordinate trail and funding details.
