Public commenters urge DA priorities and seek town help for historic organ restoration

During the public‑comment period, Kent Davis, a Cottonwood Heights resident and Republican nominee for Salt Lake County District Attorney, addressed the council to describe his background and invite council input on priorities for the DA’s office.

Copperton resident Doug Green raised a local preservation issue: the circa‑1920s–1930s Methodist Church bellows organ is in disrepair and Green described ongoing fundraising, the need for a 501(c)(3) partner to be eligible for grants, and potential matching funds from the Kennecott Foundation. Council Member Kathleen Bailey and Council Member Tessa Stitzer discussed possible fundraising avenues and Mayor Sean Clayton said he would help Doug complete the town’s grant application and present it at the next meeting for council consideration.

The council added the organ restoration grant consideration to future agendas and asked staff to include it as a follow‑up item.
