Council Member Excused---Chuck was excused from public meeting at 7:20 PM in order to attend another meeting regarding
the building of a new school in West Valley and it’s impact on the Kearns community.

Citizen Input---Kevin took this item out of order on the agenda because of several residents in attendance wishing to address
the fact of re-development in their areas. Several residents, business owners, etc… in attendance (list attached)
expressed their concerns, their anger, and questions on re-development that may take place in their area.
Most of them wanted to express the fact that they are trying to improve their business in the areas they are in and want to stay.
They feel they have been ignored by the county in roads, property taxes and other issues.
They don’t want to have their business torn down and are very upset they were not aware of this re-development before.
They stated that no one has come to any of them and talked with them.


Committee Reports---
Planning and Zoning
---Chuck had not returned so this report was tabled.

Public Safety
---Debby turned time over to Cpt. Dave Burdett from the county sheriff to address the issue of patrol car logos.
Cpt. Burdett stated that this was never an issue to put out to the public or council to vote on or design something for a logo
on each patrol car in the Kearns community. He has said that if the public wanted to do something like that he would entertain a discussion on it.
He had spoke to Chuck one time, a while ago, about this. He stated his own opinion is that it is a waste of taxpayers dollars to do this,
but if we really wanted to he would be happy to take something to the Sheriff for us for consideration.

Community Involvement---Paula stated that in lieu of the short amount of time left that she would pass on her time so that the next presenters,
Kearns Improvement District could have the time. Her issues could wait till the next meeting on June 6th.
