City Council Work Meeting - September 9, 2026

The Herriman City Council work meeting on September 9, 2026, focused primarily on two major topics: the development and maintenance of History Park and the Damy house, and the city's secondary water system. Regarding the park, the council discussed a $2 million budget allocated for landscaping and concept design, with additional potential costs of around $600,000 for restoring the historic Damy house. The council debated whether to preserve the house, demolish it due to safety and maintenance concerns, or repurpose the land, considering public safety issues and community interest. They also discussed potential alternatives for the park's use and the importance of preserving local history through plaques or digital means. On the secondary water system, the council reviewed various scenarios for expanding or limiting secondary water infrastructure, noting the significant costs involved—up to $67 million for full build-out versus $28 million for a more limited approach. They discussed the financial implications for water rates, the feasibility of phased implementation, and the need for further detailed planning before committing to future bonds. No formal votes were recorded, but the council agreed to explore alternative options for the park and requested more detailed phased plans for the water system.
