Eagle Mountain City Council Meeting October 20: What’s on the Agenda
Eagle Mountain’s City Council will meet on Tuesday, October 20, at the City Council Chambers, 1650 E. Stagecoach Run, for a 4 PM work session followed by a 7 PM policy session.
Work Session (4 PM)
Three items are up for discussion during the work sesion. As with all work session items, these are informational only and don’t require a Council vote.
Mortgage Assistance Program Funding and Tier Priorities: Affordable Housing Coordinator Kiara Polee will share how demand for the City’s Mortgage Assistance Program (MAP) compares with available funding. The program had 24 applicants presented for funding in July, 22 in August, and 17 in September, while current funding supports roughly one to three grants a month. Staff is asking for Council direction on how to prioritize Tier 3 (general) applicants when funds are limited, including whether local skilled trade workers should get priority, and on what happens when applicants roll forward past three months. (15 minutes)
Alternative Energy Overlay Zone Revisions: When the Council first approved the Alternative Energy Overlay Zone, it asked for a series of changes. Economic Development Director Evan Berrett will walk through the revisions staff has made and gather Council feedback before the updated code goes through the formal approval process. (10 minutes)
Corrigan Farms Development Agreement: City Attorney Marcus Draper will review changes made to the Corrigan Farms Development Agreement in response to concerns the Council raised on October 6, so Council members can confirm those concerns have been addressed before the item returns for a vote tonight. (30 minutes)
The City Manager will also share information items with the Council, and the Council will review the Consent Agenda and Policy Session Agenda before the evening session. A closed session may follow, as permitted under the Utah Open and Public Meetings Act.
Policy Session (7 PM)
Public Hearing
Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Standards: Long Range Planner Elizabeth Fewkes will present amendments to Eagle Mountain Municipal Code Sections 16.25.040, 17.10.030, and 17.60.040. The changes respond to a new state law (2026 HB 215) and would:
- Require final plats to note any lots located in the wildland urban interface.
- Allow property owners in designated WUI areas to remove vegetation from part of their property to meet defensible space requirements under the International Wildland Urban Interface Code.
- Add definitions for WUI terms used in the code.
The Planning Commission voted 4 to 0 on September 22 to recommend approval. Residents can weigh in during the hearing before the Council votes.
Scheduled Items
Corrigan Farms Rezone and Development Agreement: Both items return after the Council tabled them on October 6. Corrigan Farms LLC is requesting to add the RTI overlay zone to a roughly 41-acre parcel (parcel number 59:068:0006), which borders existing RTI property on the north, east, and south. Senior Planner David Stroud will present the rezone ordinance, and the Planning Commission has recommended approval. City Attorney Marcus Draper will then present the updated development agreement, which sets development and infrastructure requirements for the anticipated data center project. The public hearing for the rezone was held October 6.
Land Disposal Application, Eagle Park Phase I: City Recorder Lacie Messerly will present a resolution that would let a land disposal application from Allen Barney and other residents move forward and direct staff to begin the notice and public hearing process. The request covers a portion of Utah County Parcel No. 38:257:0108, about 0.85 acres (37,026 square feet), along a trail at Eagle Park Phase I. This is not a final approval.
Also on the Docket
The Council will hear information items and upcoming events, take public comments, and make Council and Mayor comments. They’ll also receive an update on the legislative priorities list and cover liaison reports, the financial report, and upcoming agenda items before adjourning.
Consent Agenda
These items move forward together in a single vote unless a Councilmember pulls one out for its own discussion:
- Bond Releases: Fencing for Harmony Phase A, Plat 15; into warranty for Firefly NPA 8 Phase A, Plats 3, 4, and 5, and Overland Village 2 Phase A, Plat 11; and out of warranty for Harmony Phase A, Plat 15, and the Rachel Way and Ira Hodges roadway in Harmony Phase A.
- Airport Well #9 Change Order: An $823,914.63 change order with Lang Equipment to finish developing Airport Well #9. It covers added drilling time and concrete due to field conditions, material and fuel cost increases tied to property acquisition delays, additional well development to reach the intended production capacity, and test pumping that wasn’t in the original bid.
- Trailhead Road and Pony Express Parkway Signal Change Orders: Three change orders with Geneva Rock totaling $298,153.86. The largest, $280,000, revises the construction plan so the intersection stays open throughout construction instead of fully closing, with temporary paving to be replaced in spring 2027. The others remove the landscaped medians on Pony Express Parkway between Trailhead Road and Eagle Mountain Boulevard and remove a water lateral beneath the median. Staff says the cumulative change orders remain within the construction budget.
- Minutes: September 29 Project Planning Session, October 6 regular meeting, and October 8 Budget Work Session minutes.
- Community Chaplain Program: A resolution formally recognizing the Eagle Mountain Community Chaplain Program, a volunteer, interfaith, non-denominational program that provides crisis and emotional support to City personnel, public safety responders, and residents when requested. The Council discussed the program on October 6.
- Pony Express Land Development License Agreement: A resolution approving an encroachment license agreement allowing Pony Express Land Development, Inc. to place monument signs for its commercial development on City property.
- Will-Power UT Reimbursement Agreement: A resolution approving an agreement for upgrades to the City-owned Steeplechase Lift Station so Will-Power UT, LLC can connect to it. The City will pay engineering and construction costs up front (currently estimated at about $95,200) and be reimbursed in full, and the company will buy long lead time equipment directly.
- Quicksilver Solar CRA Interlocal Agreement: A resolution approving Eagle Mountain’s participation in the Utah County Community Reinvestment Agency’s Quicksilver Solar project area for parcels inside the City. The terms match agreements already signed by Lake Mountain School District, Central Utah Water Conservancy District, and Unified Fire Authority.
