Saratoga Springs fire crew's excellent service recognized

By Danielle Palmer
At the Saratoga Springs City Council meeting held at the end of January, Mark Sanderson, emergency room director at Mountain Point Medical Center, recognized the city's fire crew. He shared a story of a seriously injured 2-year-old. The child's survival was largely due to the quick response of the Saratoga Springs paramedics and fire crew as it only took 37 minutes from the time of the injury to hospital treatment and a helicopter flight to Primary Children's Hospital. Sanderson presented the Excellence in Care Award to Saratoga Springs Fire and Rescue because of their skilled services.
Also during the January meeting, Public Relations Manager Owen Jackson discussed incorporating the city's 20-year anniversary into a new city logo design. Council Member Michael McOmber will be helping in its new design, which is to be completed this year. A public hearing was also held on a transportation impact fee facilities plan and the impact fee analysis and enactment, but the council voted to continue the hearing item in a future council meeting after further concerns could be addressed.
A bid was awarded to Landmark Escavating for the Foothill Water Pipeline Project in the amount of $1,920,182. This takes the water line from Grandview Boulevard to Fox Hollow. The council then voted unanimously to appoint Bryan Chapman to the planning commission. More information can be found on this new appointment in another article in this issue of the Crossroads Journal.
Also during the Jan. 17 meeting, Saratoga Springs approved a Real Estate Purchase Agreement with Brigham and Jennifer Morgan to purchase a one-acre piece of property in Lehi where Saratoga Springs has a well and also approved an agreement for irrigation water between the city and Suburban Land Reserve Inc., Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and D.R. Horton Inc. It amended a previously agreed-upon arrangement because of insufficient water to meet requirements.
During its February meeting, the Saratoga Springs City Council discussed plans for pickleball courts at the Sports Park. They awarded a website design contract to CivicPlus and also discussed 2017 Municipal Election voting options, including the pros and cons for mail-in voting. An interlocal agreement for culinary water systems was made, and there was discussion on the renaming of Lehi-Fairfield Road. The council agreed the best choices were Antelope Way or Desert Hare Road, but staff was going to check for any redundancy before action was taken on the change.
