Parowan council approves disposal/trade of landfill and gravel‑pit parcels

Parowan City Council approved an action on Feb. 26 authorizing the disposal of city property — described during the meeting as parcels associated with the landfill and a gravel pit on 300 East — and a related agreement with the county that is structured as a trade in which the city would receive other parcels in exchange.

Staff introduced the item and noted this followed a presentation at a prior work session. Council discussion clarified the transaction is a disposal executed as a trade; as one council member put it, the city will “receive the other parcels back” under the agreement. After a motion and second to approve the disposal and the associated agreement, the council voted on a voice vote and the motion carried.

Why it matters: the transaction affects city property inventory and future use of former landfill and gravel‑pit lands; staff indicated the agreement arose from ongoing negotiations with the county and that final legal descriptions and paperwork will follow.

Next steps: Staff will finalize legal documents and bring them forward for recordation as required.
