Intergovernmental Relations is an area in which I have worked hard to elevate West Valley City's profile and effectiveness. In order to have effective local government we must foster good working relationships with federal, state, and other local governments. One such instance that has led to success is the partnership with Salt Lake County on Lodestone Regional Park. The park and the proposed expansion lies chiefly in Salt Lake County, but is surrounded by West Valley residents that have been in need of some extra recreational amenities and open space. It will be located west of 5600 West on 6200 South in what is known as the Diamond Summit area. As a City we have extensively been in contact with the county and additionally entered into some agreements to further the development of this destination park, which would be like a Liberty Park for the residents of West Valley City. I will continue to watch this project and advocate for timely completion and quality planning. Subsequently, the county will be holding an Open House to receive park input from the nearby residents. The Open House will be held on Thursday, January 14th, 2010 at Thomas Jefferson Jr High from 6:30-8:30. Come and share your thoughts and ideas in making this park a haven for families and fun. See you there!
