Impressed With Cottonwood Heights City Council
I want to share with you my observations of a Cottonwood Heights City Council work session. This is where the city council, city manager, city attorney, city planner, and various other department heads meet and work through issues. The meeting started at 6:00 PM and goes till finished. Well when they took a break at 9:00 PM, I left and they were about 2/3 of the way through the agenda.
The group discussed an issue of a particular residence that is basically operating their business from their home. The business is not the issue, the issue is several trucks and trailers are parked all around, then many cars come to the residence in the morning park all over for the day. It has been brought to the residence’s attention that they could not do that till finally the city had to give them a citation.
What I thought was fascinating was how the Cottonwood Heights City Council including Mayor Kelvyn H. Cullimore Jr. made sure that every avenue had been exhausted before the citation was given, then the mayor asked can they handle it, meaning financially. I was very impressed by the fact that the leaders knew they had to do something, but did not want to hurt the person they were citing. It was a genuine caring of neighbors.
You see the Cottonwood Heights City leaders are not politicians they are our neighbors elected by us to serve us and they genuinely get that. They were not there to go out and fine this residence, but they have to serve all the folks.
I want to say thanks I am impressed.
