Library---Kathy reported that the library is still having problems with kids hanging around the library, not on library business.
The library does not want to get police officers involved yet, but if need be will. COP officers stated to call them and they can issue citations
as long as the library is ok with it. Kathy also spoke with Jim Cooper, Library Director, about expanding or getting a new library.
Right now we have what we have. Probably will not happen soon. Chuck lead discussion if skate park is a reality that perhaps
we could talk with some care dealers and get them to possibly donate vehicle to help shuttle these kids at the library to KOPFC and skate park.
Chuck stated that the comment from Jim Cooper is un-acceptable and we should pursue the possibly of a new library.
The county has places to build this. Also the church has land for sale.

Planning and Zoning---Chuck announced that Tawna Pippin has been put on the Kearns Planning and Zoning board.
The 5600 West project, is being headed up in a sub-committee lead by TJ. Met with Senator Mayne to get ideas on how to proceed.
Will have upcoming meetings with residents to talk about and get suggestions. Chuck also stated they should ask for a sound study.
Sen. Mayne said to set expectations low because these things take time. Chuck also stated that the legislature is also talking about
possible toll roads. TJ stated that West Valley City is in negotiations with the business Costco to build a store in West Valley.
One of the possible sight is where Granger elementary currently is. This would close the Granger school in order for Costco to build.
TJ will keep the public updated on this issue.

---Unfinished Business---
UTA---TJ reported that UTA did not heed to Chuck’s emails about still having concerns with the route changes.
Expressed this to Sen. Mayne. Discussion on night route to Jordan Landing and other night routes. Citizens stated there would not be
any night routes, what they heard. Citizens also stated about no sidewalks on 5600 West and that the bus has to let riders off on the side
of the roads. Citizens suggested that the UTA officials who make these changes ride the routes themselves to
“get a really good look at what is happening”.

ZAP---Kevin stated he and Chuck attended KOPFC board meeting and gave over view of skatepark and Mountain Man Park.
Want Kearns remembered this time in funding. Charles said that a county official has told him that 5 applications from Kearns
have been sent in. Skatepark, Mountain Man Park, KOPFC, and Marie Jess on behalf of the Kearns Preservation Society
has put one in under the direction of Claudia Nabos for a monument at 40^th West and 4700 South,
on the bridge and that Claudia Nabos has put one in for a community center under the Kearns Community Development and
Resource Center. Allowing this office to expand to bigger quarters.
Suggested council should show support for all five.
