Herriman council seeks gate options at Extra Space Storage; two items pass 5-0

HERRIMAN — The Herriman City Council directed staff to prepare options and cost estimates for improving a gate and closing a pedestrian connection between the Extra Space Storage property and the adjacent neighborhood in northeastern Herriman, after residents raised safety concerns 1.

Staff reviewed the development agreement at the Aug. 26 meeting and said the pedestrian connection could be closed, according to the city's recap 1. Council members wanted to restrict access while keeping emergency access and to weigh costs, and directed staff to coordinate with the Unified Fire Authority 1. No vote was taken; options return with any needed budget amendment 1.

The council approved 5-0 parameters for potentially refinancing city bonds, and a short-term interfund loan covering land bought for the future Auto Mall area 1.

In board reports, the mayor said the Salt Lake County Council approved parameters for a recreation bond on the November ballot, including $10 million for the Southwest Athletic Complex 1.

Discussion items included a sports field rental policy for youth nonprofit groups and Community Center rental rules 1.
