Happy Monday! Colten here.

This week has a lot of great stuff going on. One thing to keep in mind is the weather turns chilly mid week, but most of the week looks dry. Anywho, let's jump into it.

Dumpsters at Cory Wride Park are open from 10 AM to 8 PM today. For Tuesday through Wednesday, the dumpsters are open from 8 AM to 8 PM.

If you still have more to haul after the dumpsters close, every Eagle Mountain household can pick up two free landfill passes per year at City Hall (1650 E Stagecoach Run) that are good to use at the Intermountain Regional Landfill in Fairfield. Each pass covers up to about 6 cubic yards and 500 lbs.

Construction begins today at SR-73 and Eagle Mountain Blvd for a new traffic signal. Expect some delays from today until about the middle of June 2026.

Work Session at 4 PM, Policy Session at 7 PM. Full agenda at the link. A few items worth knowing about:

Perry Homes is previewing a new 850-unit subdivision. The discussion point for the City Council is a request to drop a planned trail and park strip from one side of Red Pine Road and Hidden Valley Parkway. The density is actually lower than what's currently approved for the site, but the tradeoff is the loss of a walking path and landscaped buffer along a main neighborhood road. Work session only, no vote. Public comment runs during the 7 PM Policy Session.

A resident-initiated amendment to city code comes back for a final vote Tuesday. If approved, it would add pre-weathered weathering steel (the rusted-look Corten style) as an approved material for residential perimeter fencing. The item was tabled on March 3 for updates, and a public hearing has already been held.

The Spring 2026 Academy cohort will be recognized at the start of the 7 PM Policy Session on Tuesday. I was part of this class, and I'm biased, but I got a lot out of it. You sit with other neighbors, you meet the people who actually run the city, and you walk away realizing how much the staff care about doing the job well. It made me trust city hall more and feel comfortable reaching out with a concern or question. Worth it. If you're curious, watch for the next session and sign up.

Rockwell Charter High School's community teen center was featured on KSL TV this month. The center runs a food and hygiene pantry, showers and laundry, and a study space open to community members after school hours.

This story inspired me to put together a resource page on the Eagle Mountain Value site with links and descriptions for the groups in and around Eagle Mountain that help people when things get hard. If you know of a charitable organization, food pantry, clothing closet, emergency assistance program, or similar that's serving our community, I'd love to hear about it. Reply to this email and let me know.

Frontier's production of The Lightning Thief runs Thursday through Saturday this week.

The city is planting 20–30 trees at Cory Wride Memorial Park to mark the newly declared local Arbor Day. Volunteers of all ages are welcome. Bring gloves and the family.

End-of-year concert at the Cedar Valley Auditorium. There's also a Saturday matinee (see Weekend Picks below).

Full list on the library calendar. Highlights:

The Rockwell Charter Spring Market runs Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM at Rockwell Charter High School, 3435 E Stonebridge Ln. Mother's Day gifts, live music, a car show, and food. Vendors are still welcome per the flyer.

Manna's Kitchen runs small, home-based cooking and baking classes taught in the owner's home. This Saturday's Tortilla Class is sold out, but registration is open for two upcoming classes worth mentioning: a free Mother's Day class on May 9 (homemade English scones and yogurt parfaits) and a Father's Day Dutch Oven class on June 13 ($35).

Work Session 5:30 PM, Policy Session 6:30 PM. The agenda posts a few days before the meeting on the city's civic clerk portal.

Utah Avalanche Rec Soccer registration is open for Fall 2026 and Spring 2027, with games played at Frontier Middle School. This isn't the typical show-up-and-play rec program. Utah Avalanche invests in training and supporting their coaches, offers summer training to players, and is built around actually helping kids develop, whether they're brand new to soccer or already love the game. They've been running rec soccer in Utah for over 50 years. Registration is $130 and includes a full uniform, soccer ball, summer training, team picture, end-of-season medal, and a family fun night with the RSL mascot. Open to ages 2 through 18, with ages 2–3 and junior high and high school offered co-ed. 8 games in the fall and 8 in the spring. Register here.

Also open or opening this week through Eagle Mountain City Parks and Rec:
