It’s December, which means it’s official—the redistricting process has come down to the city level, and that means you need to comment on Salt Lake City’s plans to redraw maps for school-board and city-council districts. For more festive municipal action, you can drop in to the Salt Lake City Historic Landmark Commission meeting and hear about plans to revise citywide guidelines for historic designations. This weekend, you can also check out a holiday pet-adoption drive put on by No More Homeless Pets.

City guidelines for building and development are always a balancing act between the old and the new, history and growth.
