West Valley City has voted 6-1 to move forward with Macquarie and get more details under Milestone Two. They join Midvale in deciding that getting full details is a good idea and should be actively pursued. Layton has reportedly not taken a vote yet and it is unknown when they will despite having been scheduled to do so Tuesday. Lindon, Centerville, and Murray will all hold meetings next week to discuss the deal. Lindon, Centerville and Tremonton are all scheduled to hold public votes Tuesday June 17, cutting it very close to the deadline for responses.
I don’t know when Murray, Brigham City, Orem, and Layton will be holding votes and I still haven’t heard if Perry or Payson will be doing so at all. If you live in these cities, you should contact your council members to make sure they know you support moving forward with what is currently the least expensive option on the table.
Just out of curiosity, where did you get the info that Layton should have already voted on this? You mentioned that they would be voting on it during their regularly scheduled Tuesday meeting on the 27th, but the City Council meets on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays and I didn’t see any notice about a May 27th meeting (at least, not on their website). Does anyone know when they’re actually supposed to be voting on it?
I got my information secondhand from a long, long list of cities with scheduled meetings. I don’t see anything on Layton’s website either, but I’ll definitely share more when I find it.
Thanks! I’m hopeful that it will happen at their meeting this Thursday.
Aye, gunna try and be their myself as well.
Is the Macquarie deal an “all or nothing” situation? Would a build-out still occur if the majority of the cities say, “we want it”?
Macquarie can move forward without a few of the cities on board.
