Body

Body
Description/Background:
This resolution would approve the admission of the City of Holladay to the Central Wasatch Commission. As an interlocal government entity tasked with implementing the Mountain Accord Charter and bringing the community together to steward the Central Wasatch Mountains, the CWC will benefit from the perspective, expertise, resources, and financial support of the City of Holladay, which shares boundaries with the Central Wasatch Mountains and two neighboring member jurisdictions: Millcreek and Cottonwood Heights. While this resolution will not directly impact Sandy City's operations or resources, it will strengthen the CWC's multi-jurisdictional efforts, which Sandy City is a contributor to and beneficiary of, to protect our watershed, alleviate traffic issues, and steward recreational access, and sustain local economies.
Further action to be taken:
Tonight is an informational presentation. During a future meeting the Council may vote on the attached draft resolution.
