Kristine Hansen

Kristine Hansen moved to Spring City in 2017 to retire as she was winding up her 35-year career as an English professor at BYU.

Hansen says, “I believe I could make a strong contribution to the city council because I spent over 18 years of my career in administrative positions, including several years as associate dean of general and honors education.

“I know how to lead and how to study an issue, get input from all sides, and work out solutions to problems. I have administered budgets, and worked with support staff to accomplish goals.” 

She says she could use her background in English and write to write grant proposals for the city.

Hansen says, “I would be dedicated to working for the health and safety of Spring City’s residents; to maintaining city infrastructure, services, and utilities at a high level; and to preserving the beauty, culture and traditions of the town.”

Timothy Clark

Timothy Clark has lived in Spring City for seven years.

The Clark family moved to Spring City because they were attracted to small town living.

Clark says, “I want our community to be a safe, friendly environment where we can raise our families. I am a small business owner who has experience in managing subcontractors and ensuring that work gets done right. I have traveled the world and worked in many different countries and with many different people. I can honestly say that I love Spring City. I love the people and our community. I am friendly and feel like I can work with anyone.”

He believes that “if we can stand united, we will stand together, strong and unstoppable.”

Kimberly Lloyd-Stewart

Kimberly Lloyd-Stewart has lived in Spring City for over 20 years. She has a master’s degree in instructional technology. 

Stewart served on the city council from 2015-2017. Some of her accomplishments were to build the city website and publish the town newsletter. She was also on the team that wrote the Spring City Master Plan. She also assisted in writing the grant to the Utah Community Impact Board that paid for the spring redevelopment.

Prior to being appointed to the city council, she served on the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Stewarts says, “Spring City needs to address the growth happening in our community, both inside the city limits and outside. We need to find funds to pay for the infrastructure needed to support that growth. Our tax base is primarily the residences inside the city limits; we need to encourage businesses that can help with that tax base.”

She also says, “In my opinion the current planning and zoning committee does not equitably render decisions and that needs to be corrected,” she says.
