Councilman Augustus Resolution to Preserve & Protect AF Canyon
At the July 7th Cedar Hills City Council meeting, Trent Augustus proposed a Resolution in favor of preserving and protecting American Fork Canyon. And, due to questions surrounding considerations given by Snowbird to Mayor Gary Gygi, the Resolution proposed replacing him on the American Fork Canyon Vision Committee with a representative approved by the Council.
Council members Rob Crawley & Trent Augustus voted AYE. Council members Jenney Rees, Daniel Zappala and Mike Geddes voted NAY.
Councilman Zappala alternative Resolution
Councilman Zappala presented an alternate, similar Resolution, without the provision to replace Mayor Gygi. Council members Rees, Zappala and Geddes voted AYE, — with Crawley & Augustus voting NAY.
