Council adopts resolution to transfer 1.32‑acre Cy’s Road parcel to Sandy City, retains waterline rights
Summary
Following a public hearing, the council adopted Resolution No. 2025‑R‑42 to quitclaim about 1.32 acres of Cy’s Road to Sandy City as public right of way while reserving Midvale’s rights to operate and maintain waterlines beneath the road; the motion passed in roll call with the vote recorded in the minutes.
Midvale City held a public hearing on July 15 to consider declaring a portion of Cy’s Road as surplus real property and to authorize a quitclaim deed to Sandy City, with a reservation of rights allowing Midvale to continue operating and maintaining waterlines under the road. Public‑works Director Glen Kennedy told the council the parcel is approximately 1.32 acres, is physically located in Sandy, and historically has been treated and maintained by Sandy as public right of way.
Kennedy said the property "is of no value to Midvale" and recommended transferring it to Sandy to avoid maintenance liabilities while retaining the city’s waterline access. Council Member Paul Glover asked whether Midvale would retain right of access to its water infrastructure; Kennedy confirmed that Midvale would retain full access. The council opened public comment (motion by Paul Glover, seconded by Heidi Robinson), heard none, and then adopted Resolution No. 2025‑R‑42 (moved by Heidi Robinson, seconded by Bonnie Billings). The minutes record the roll call vote as: Bonnie Billings — Aye; Paul Glover — Aye; Heidi Robinson — Aye; Bryant Brown — Absent; Denece Mikolash — Aye. The motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: The transfer removes property‑ownership and maintenance obligations for Midvale on a parcel located outside city limits while preserving Midvale’s waterline rights under the road, clarifying operational responsibility with the adjacent jurisdiction.
