The City Council meeting agenda covers several items, including a Policy Meeting with public input time and department reports from Police and Fire/EMS. The Consent Items include the approval of minutes from the January 20, 2026 meeting. Public Hearings are scheduled for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget Amendments (Resolution R26-07). Business Items involve the Election of Mayor Pro Tempore, consideration of a site plan for 2429 Stagecoach Drive, consideration for Revocation or Extension of the Canyon Hollow Development Agreement, and discussion of the Drinking Water and Pressurized Irrigation Systems Masterplan Update (Resolution R26-08).

The key discussion item was the site plan application for an In-N-Out Burger restaurant located at approximately North Redwood Road and Medical Drive. The Commission reviewed compliance with zoning, community and village plans, landscaping, and parking requirements, noting 84 stalls provided, which exceeds the minimum. Extensive discussion occurred regarding traffic impact, specifically concerning ingress/egress from Medical Drive and potential queuing, referencing comparative data from an American Fork location. The applicant detailed mitigation strategies, including right-in/right-out access on the south side, a connection to the north for traffic dispersal, and designated overstack queuing within the parking area (up to 60+ cars) to prevent street spillover. The Commission also discussed the duration of post-opening traffic control and the topography of the site adjacent to the DI property.

The special city council meeting was convened to address the filling of a vacant council seat, conducted in accordance with Utah State Code. The procedure involved a multi-stage process for the applicants: an initial two-minute introduction, a round of questions from council members (with two minutes for responses), and a final one-minute closing statement. The council members outlined the voting process, including how potential ties would be broken. The discussion also covered initial questions regarding improving communication with residents and the expected time commitment required for the council role.

The agenda for the City Council Policy Meeting included several key items. Consent items involved appointing Audrey Barton to the Utah Lake Authority Board with Robert Taylor as alternate, and approval of minutes from previous meetings in January 2026.

Business Items included discussions and potential approvals for a Major Site Plan Amendment for the Walmart EV Charging Station, a Site Plan for Saratoga Town Center Lot 304, and the contract award for a new pedestrian crossing at 400 S (Patriot Park) project. The meeting also contained a Work Session to review the CenterCal Downtown conceptual plan, and a potential Closed Meeting concerning property acquisition, litigation, personnel, or security matters.
