What is the Millcreek Township?
The Township includes the Millcreek community area, the Canyon Rim area, the East Mill Creek area, and the Mt Olympus area, as well as extending up Millcreek Canyon to the Summit County line.
What area is included in the feasibility study?
The Feasibility Study included the Millcreek Township and a small section of unincorporated Salt Lake County not in the Township, adjacent to us and Murray City. For further information on the area, see the Boundaries Map accompanying the MillCreek Incorporation Petition June 2011 with Map.
What does the Feasibility Study show?
The Study explains what the Township revenues and expenditures are. It outlines the financial base needed to consider becoming our own city, rather than remaining as unincorporated Salt Lake County.
Why do I need to sign a petition?
The initial petition was required to obtain a Feasibility Study. The next step requires additional signatures to allow residents to VOTE on incorporation.
Where can I get more information?
Please see the Feasibility Study Flier. It contains important information the Feasibility Study and includes some of the reasons to consider if becoming a city.
Who are the supporters of the petition?
On the back of the flier is a list of our first 200 supporters. You may know some of them. We need many more signatures to reach our current goal: The Vote
I may not know all the answers to your goals of taking Olympus Hills out of the unincorporated Salt Lake County. My wife and I are very satisfied with the County government we now have. It boggles my mind to think you can create a new city with no increase in taxes. What about the City Hall which you will build, and financing the mayoral elections, etc. that will be part of getting the city up and running? It costs a lot of money to buy garbage trucks, snow plows, police cars, and the people who work on them. If you plan to contract with Salt Lake County for these services, why go through the work of trying to start from scratch to do the things the County now does very well? If you should be successful in your quest to become the City of Millcreek, you can be certain our address will still be Salt Lake City, UT 84124. I will always want to be identified with Salt Lake City and have our correspondents know we live in a city they have heard of’ instead of thinking we are now living in a suburb of Podunk.
I grew up in Holladay, and have many friends there. I have asked many of those friends that if they had a chance to vote again on making Holladay a city, 100% of them would vote NO. If you are successful in giving those of us who live in what may become part of the City of Millcreek a vote on this, you can be sure my family will vote NO. I have not taken a poll of ALL my friends in Olympus Hills about how they would vote, but I know that at your meeting held a few months ago at Churchill Jr. High, all of my neighbors who were there were opposed to being part of the City of Millcreek. I can think of no reason that would cause me to vote YES on your desire to become the City of Millcreek.
I don’t enjoy raining on your parade, but want no part of your project.

My family prefers the Township – no incorporation. Millcreek as a City would add another layer of taxation as well as political infighting – neighbor against neighbor. Look at Holladay. Former friends are now enemies. Their financial stability is weak. People who live there wish they had never incorporated. Our friends in West Valley feel the same. Let’s work to get our boundaries frozen again before February 2013. If the same amount of effort is put into remaining a Township as is being put into becoming a City, Millcreek Township could remain as now constituted.
