Mr. Ron Faerber spoke under “Citizen Public Input” stating the unincorporated community councils have formed the League of Unincorporated Community Councils, which consists of Big Cottonwood, Parley’s Way, Granite, Willow Creek, Sandy Hills, Willow Canyon, and some other pockets in the southwest and island areas. The organization was formed because residents had some concerns about curbs, gutters, and sidewalks, but did not have representation from the Municipal Services District (MSD) on their community council. Since its formation, the League has been meeting monthly with Richard Snelgrove, the MSD board member for the unincorporated areas. The League of Unincorporated Community Councils needs to be formalized in order for its votes to be recognized, so it is putting together bylaws, and asking the County Council to recognize it as a formal council. It will also be asking the MSD to recognize it as well.
