The Motion may be accessed at time stamp 01:53:50
BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: Changes need to be made to the Ivins City Code to eliminate the requirement for developers to install secondary water systems in future projects. The City Attorney and City Public Works Director/City Engineer will work together on a draft of changes and begin the process before the Planning Commission. The discussion may be accessed at time stamp 01:56:38.
BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: Ivins City has been one of the most responsive municipalities to the drought survey that Doug Bennett with the Washington County Water Conservancy District sent out. The Water Conservancy District put together their plan with all of their recommendations, thinking that the municipalities in the County all agreed but they did not and the survey that was sent out was a result of the municipalities not agreeing to the Districts plan. The Water Conservancy District has a good draft plan that came out in January of 2023, but they want all of municipalities to be on the same page. The Water Conservancy Districts goal is to provide all of the municipalities a revised draft plan in the near future. The discussion may be accessed at time stamp 02:05:32.
Presentation
BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: A training presentation was provided by City Attorney Bryan Pack regarding Utah Open and Public Meetings. A copy of the presentation is available as an attachment to this agenda and the discussion may be accessed at time stamp 02:15:04.
