• The council heard a presentation from the YCC Director.

• Mr. Worthen gave a brief update on developments with the Spring Creek Landslide.

RDA Board 3-20-18

Agenda, Minutes, Recording

• Mr. Worthen discussed some changes he wants to make to the 700 West CDA Area Map.  He wants to exclude some areas to try and gain the support of Weber County and Weber School District.
  • This comes as no surprise.  As I predicted 1 year and 7 months ago in my August, 2016 RDA meeting summary , it would prove difficult to get other taxing entities on board with this plan at any significant level.  I still feel pretty much the same now as I did then about this RDA area.  As a tax payer to these other entities (at a higher rate than to the city) I’m not sure I want them giving up this tax money, and I don’t blame them for being critical before committing to a deal.
