5 issues in general with high priority
Long-Range Police Operations Plan
The board will review the upcoming long-range plan for police operations presented by Administrative Services Director Nick Geer, outlining future law enforcement strategies for Riverton.
Jorgensen Property Rezone
A family property owner requested a rezone from agricultural to single-family residential to match the city's general plan, following the loss of acreage to the Jordan River Parkway trail.
Public Facility Closure
Riverton just pulled the plug on the local skate park because of safety concerns. It’s closed indefinitely, so you’ll need to find a new place to ride while the city figures out the next steps.
City Management Appointment
Riverton just hired a new city manager from West Jordan to take the reins of our daily operations. Since this person essentially runs the city's engine, their leadership style will directly impact how our local services and projects get handled.
Reproductive Rights Resolution
Riverton’s City Council is currently split on whether to pass a resolution taking a stance on abortion. It’s a classic debate over whether local leaders should focus on potholes and zoning or weigh in on big national social issues.
