Growth in Bluffdale dominates election
The city has a largely rural history and continues to be marked by tracts of open space, houses on large lots and a less-urban feel than many of its neighbors. But as the county's west side grows, and as talk of relocating the nearby prison in Draper could open the area to more development, the question of how Bluffdale will look in the future is dominating the race that, on Oct. 4, will winnow the field of four mayoral candidates to two and five City Council candidates to four, who will then face off Nov. 8 for two at-large council seats.
Candidates were asked to respond to a questionnaire sent by the Deseret Morning News. Summaries of their responses follow:
Mayor
Claudia Anderson, 58, a business owner who has served on the planning and zoning commission and the City Council, said she is running because of a "lack of leadership, management and planning" in the current administration. She accused city leaders of "allowing developers to shape our city instead of the citizens" and decried "inadequate police and fire protection." She wrote that residents tell her "they are tired of not being heard and taken seriously, they are frustrated with the city's process, they want consistency in enforcing laws, they feel they are being left out of community planning and major decisions and they want friendly, honest city officials."
