City Council Announcements
February 6, 2007
A. Information Needed by Council Staff
1.. Invitation from UTA: Mike Allegra from the Utah Transit Authority would like to take the City Council on a tour of the light-rail extension from the Arena Station to the Intermodal Hub. If Council Members are interested in a tour, staff could arrange a time with Mr. Allegra. Council Members Christensen and Saxton wanted to take the tour. Cindy Gust-Jenson asked the rest of the members to contact office staff if they were interested.
2. Council Office has received the Quarterly Housing Report for Fiscal Year 2006-2007, Second Quarter. Do Council Members desire a briefing? All Council Members were in favor of a briefing.
3. The District Outreach meeting was on Thursday at the Sorenson Center. The tour begins at 4:00 p.m. because of the daylight. All Council Members were aware of the time and said they would be there.
4. Ms. Gust-Jenson said the District Meeting in District 7 in March was one week after daylight savings time began. She said as staff they did not feel qualified to project whether it would be light enough to begin the meeting at 5:00. All Council Members were in favor of starting the tour at 5:00 p.m.
5. Ms. Gust-Jenson said they had originally planned to talk about the test during the months of March and April. She said because of the soccer stadium she was not able to prepare the announcement. She asked if she could bring the information on Thursday or if the Council would rather wait until next Tuesday to talk about it. All Council Members were in favor of discussing the issue on Tuesday, February 13, 2007.
