PROCEEDINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH
THURSDAY, DULY 7 , 2005
Councilmember Christensen moved and Councilmember Turner seconded not to call
for a hearing, which motion carried, all members voted aye except Councilmember Saxton
who voted nay.
Ms. Gust-Jenson said this was a routine item but had been listed on Unfinished
Business rather than Consent due to public interest in the Legacy Highway. She said
the property was owned by Public Utilities. She said the value was $1,200. She said
she would ask Mr. Hooton for more information and include it in the next Council
packet.
Mr. Wheelwright said Public Utilities owned the right-of-way for a canal and
Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) wanted to acquire the property for the Legacy
Highway. He said Public Utilities would receive a culvert to convey water.
Councilmember Saxton said the issue was not a small matter. She said this could
be an enabling aspect for the development and construction of the Legacy Highway. She
said a public hearing should be called.
Councilmember Christensen said UDOT could condemn the property. Mr. Fluhart
said blocking the sale of the property would have no effect on building the Legacy
Highway.
Ms. Gust-Jenson said the hearing would be administrative and the Council would
have no participation. She said the decision would be made by the Administration.
