Plan for Kearns

Safe neighborhoods, reliable services, a thriving Town Center, and an open, responsive City Hall.

Strong communities are built on everyday basics working well—and on leaders who listen first, measure results, and treat every neighbor with respect. This plan turns that approach into action.

Public Services & Safety

Reliable city services and safer streets come first—waste picked up on time, roads maintained, lights working, and strong police & fire partnerships grounded in trust.

  • Superior services, smarter solutions (waste, roads, maintenance).
  • Safe neighborhoods through community-centered police & fire partnerships.
  • Better infrastructure: road repairs, safer corridors near schools, transit options.
  • Healthy, connected communities: seniors, youth, families, and access to services.
