Planning Commission members reviewed the submittal at a prior public meeting and recommended approval, subject to code compliance and conditions.

Planning staff said the lot includes wetland and mitigation elements; the amended plat accounts for a bridge or crossing used to mitigate water impacts and establishes the infrastructure layout for the area that will be developed.

Paul Larson presented the grant award during the council's second public hearing on the application. He told the council the project scope includes removal and replacement of existing concrete in critical ADA areas, replacement of cracked slabs that present tripping hazards, installation of a new ADA access ramp on the west side of the center, and resurfacing of an existing ramp to eliminate slipping hazards. Larson said bids and the final availability of funds will determine whether additional adjacent flatwork will be replaced.

Larson said facility manager Kelly Andrew will be the project manager. Copies of the capital investment plan for the project are available from city staff, Larson said.

The council opened the public hearing on the CDBG grant as required by the program and invited public comment; no members of the public addressed the council on the matter, and the council closed the hearing. Motions to open and to close the hearing were made and seconded by councilmembers during the meeting.

Ending: With the public hearing closed and no objections raised, the city will proceed with procurement and project planning under the awarded grant; staff will present bids and a plan for final scope once procurement concludes.","The city received $200,000 from the Community Development Block Grant program to remove and replace failing concrete and improve ADA access at the Brigham City Community Center senior center; the council held a required public hearing and closed it with no public comments.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6569426,"Brigham City youth council asks council to fund swings at Main Street-area park",310,1641000,1951000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3183727-4e5076b4a698bb7f6a4846d17864a61b&start=1641&end=1951","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3183727-4e5076b4a698bb7f6a4846d17864a61b/thumbnail_1641000.jpg","/articles/6569426/Utah/Brigham-City-youth-council-asks-council-to-fund-swings-at-Main-Street-area-park","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6569426-6c7da90fb2118eb1e57a60383a0159de/orig.mp4?Expires=1770986920&Signature=R~btHbQRxZo-Xl-dVk0~WHxnKtV-MnkSsmjv7pMkdakTzwHKR3sYWKJGa1Yg~C8eR4Yrc7dYEItBSA0rzh0gBA~jbPup6q~8cua8d~BLDZcCXyoP8XRGgsCFT0fq1KVXB5qiKxV5KeswXN632dMCWzRvzco5euy7ClaKc7EiQ~jbxGW6OAAFwOQonLii7z2jMAp7zcokP9DvRz6irkVEEbX-xU5dfb64JcBKArfwsl9ghZiwK-GWuJnn45Z3GK-hyW8sPnQaAB--jZ6T~IUP6iGRJFS6L80Y8n4xoTe-AR4x3EF7OF--WPODhwcTYB35CeUfdL60pbyQnDOGqLeZAA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Brigham City Youth City Council on May 1 presented a proposal to add swings and repair worn playground equipment at a park near Main Street.

Abby Rust, the youth council mayor, told the council the group’s mission is to improve parks and recreation opportunities for children and teens. The youth council proposed installing three sets of the same swing equipment previously placed at Constitution Park, which would provide six total swings, and they said they had discussed required concrete pad dimensions with public-works staff.

The youth council also described maintenance needs at the park, including rusted surfacing on the main play structure, chipped paint, and nonfunctional zip lines the students identified as favorites. The students said Constitution Park’s swing installation was heavily used and that they hope to replicate that success on the city’s opposite side of town.

Council members asked whether accessible (all-abilities) swings would be included. Assistant Public Works Director Mike Wade told the council that while the park itself is accessible, adding fully all-abilities swing units at the proposed location would be difficult with the current layout; he said accessible options remain possible but present design challenges.

Councilmembers praised the youth council work: one member noted the Constitution Park swings had lines of users when he visited, and another encouraged the youth council’s planning and fundraising. The youth council requested city help with permitting, design guidance and potential matching funds as they continue fundraising.

Ending: The council did not make a funding commitment at the May 1 meeting but asked staff to follow up about site layout, accessibility options and cost estimates so the youth council can continue fundraising and present a detailed request.","Brigham City Youth City Council presented a plan to add swings and repair playground equipment in a park near Main Street, proposing three swing sets and fundraising; council members expressed support and asked staff about accessibility and costs.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6569430,"Brigham City Council votes to ask Bear River Water Conservancy District to consider city's withdrawal",327,7327000,7654000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3183727-4e5076b4a698bb7f6a4846d17864a61b&start=7327&end=7654","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3183727-4e5076b4a698bb7f6a4846d17864a61b/thumbnail_7327000.jpg","/articles/6569430/Utah/Brigham-City-Council-votes-to-ask-Bear-River-Water-Conservancy-District-to-consider-citys-withdrawal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6569430-af60c70bcaaefc16e7d02fedbe349ba1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770986920&Signature=AXtEt2ZBRo~nnj8HrQOZm7LAzfFNUxya6CXBVNNnt8T3XvrUkm73oJYjhQpl2eV6J74khzCCQnvtbi2q41qnxkDRcTu2DSIf-f-7AxSebnuOpFa4FZkZmeGbR1EmGFx2HHSPG~J6NtG~l7NkWKhyy7ZMS9pnpRXNZgSYqrZtHYVElwJG3OJWUyF--a7v8ISUxtnWmZFGBnAFQ7rTuvyBPeMaSleAABCEbuubpP-wwRkqUO57yl2mJMEvk-koV79cBvQX3ZApwEj4DnPAZE2TvybOuErqgbubbh14vOj2cAxC76AQAqEfaiuTKC6dpPhQMi5u4oNf6QHTe-jxxZMTIg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Brigham City Council on May 1 approved a resolution asking the Bear River Water Conservancy District board to vote on removing Brigham City from the district.

The mayor led a multi-year review of the district’s relationship with Brigham City and told the council that, from 1996 through the present budget year, city residents have contributed roughly $5.3 million to the conservancy district and that the only direct benefit previously documented to Brigham City was a small, earlier contribution for recovery storage. City staff later told the council the city’s residents currently contribute about $450,000 a year in property taxes toward the district.

City Administrator Derek (surname not specified in the record) read the Bear River Water Conservancy District mission statement to the council and summarized efforts by city staff over recent years to negotiate more direct benefits. He told the council staff had tried multiple approaches to resolve the concern but had not reached a long-term arrangement that the city considers beneficial.

As presented to the council, the next procedural step under state processes is for the district’s board of directors to vote on whether Brigham City may withdraw; if the district approves withdrawal the city would submit documentation to the lieutenant governor’s office to finalize the change to district boundaries and tax assessments. The mayor urged residents to contact councilmembers and to attend the district board meeting when the council seeks the board vote.

Councilmember Hitt moved to approve the resolution; Councilmember Troxell seconded. The council then voted in favor of forwarding the request to the district board.

The city and the district have a separate wholesale water contract that was renewed several years ago; that contract runs through the current budget year, and the district has a new well installed to serve parts of the Harper Ward area. City staff said the district will continue to serve customers under the existing contract until its expiration and that the district has begun budgeting projects and staffing changes the city’s leaders say improved internal management.

Ending: The resolution asks the Bear River Water Conservancy District board to consider Brigham City’s withdrawal; any change would require a board vote and subsequent administrative filings with the lieutenant governor before tax assessments change for Brigham City residents.","Council approved a resolution requesting that the Bear River Water Conservancy District board vote on removing Brigham City from the district; the action follows city leaders' concerns that residents have paid millions into the district with little direct benefit.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6569435,"Brigham City mayor proposes $110 million 2025-26 budget, cites fleet costs and utility planning",1213,2953000,4166000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3183727-4e5076b4a698bb7f6a4846d17864a61b&start=2953&end=4166","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3183727-4e5076b4a698bb7f6a4846d17864a61b/thumbnail_2953000.jpg","/articles/6569435/Utah/Brigham-City-mayor-proposes-110-million-2025-26-budget-cites-fleet-costs-and-utility-planning","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6569435-c69f32423212c4a4cdb5825b2bb00e6e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770986920&Signature=RazJWzttpVrpKzfDcNqUcVlKXuiSp9BXw0ZHfDJXQzNG2MZfz~-S6feYCu~tN44OrdJbyU0Q~il89fzzaqiLdxYSb5PwqUFjDUtDVP1iLsdLFg04lJ4a5P6bUPNGzGsV5Td20AQHYFh6PnLVVeDXwJ1oUJgm2z5vEFffGlzew8~BAFZY4akrEBF1avHdMaPGnufod2tHmv2FwG7i86V0eB0xnXoecY~9lnIhO40nRob172Aq7ZLI~TZ-2K2~WgkiPBrZVqb214LkdbWLwvnDdEckvbWdFivpHD~DwEONMInl8L~O0eJD7wRn9A3uK6VCuetcVbHK8WxHboV9fr1M3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Brigham City’s mayor presented a $110 million proposed budget for fiscal year 2025–26 on May 1, asking the City Council to review planned utility-rate decisions and a possible increase in the city’s portion of property tax to cover rising fleet costs.

The budget as presented includes $33 million in capital projects and about $19 million earmarked for overpass and corridor preservation work, and the mayor said he proposes holding the transfer from the utility fund to the general fund at 12 percent. He also proposed setting the city’s power purchasing adjustment (PPAC) to zero for 2025–26 while continuing to monitor wholesale power markets.

The mayor said Brigham City faces an unexpected roughly $450,000 increase in the general fund’s fleet-related expenses and that his proposed property-tax increase—Tom Carter, the city’s financial director, estimated the city’s portion at about a 15 percent rise—would cover that shortfall.

“If we don’t have an incremental rate increase that reflects the inflation … we will fall behind,” the mayor said during the presentation, urging the council to consider the long-term implications of underfunding infrastructure and public-safety needs.

The mayor outlined other elements in the proposal: ongoing work on the 100 South roadway and utilities project; a planned rate study to begin after July 2026; continued use of the rate-stabilization fund for electric customers; and a proposed per-month increase for the city’s blue-can (recycling) service as a pass-through to reflect higher recycling costs (the exact dollar amount stated during the meeting was not clear in the record).

He also described the fleet fund model used to purchase and replace city vehicles, noting the fund has struggled with inflation-driven cost increases and that the budget applies a modest inflation factor for replacement planning. The mayor said public-safety spending has grown substantially in recent years, from about $5.1 million in 2016 to a proposed $12.5 million in the upcoming year.

Councilmembers asked for more detail on utility-rate changes and the property-tax proposal. The council scheduled two work sessions: May 15 to focus on utility (electric) rates, and May 22 to continue discussion including public safety and fleet impacts. Council members said they wanted staff to present more granular cost breakdowns at the sessions.

The mayor also said staff continues to study longer-term options for local power generation, including potential participation in larger-generation projects, to stabilize rates for future decades.

Ending: The council did not take a final vote on the budget at the May 1 meeting; staff will provide more detailed analyses at the scheduled work sessions before any final action. The budget remains a council item for public meetings and further review.","Mayor presented a $110 million budget that includes $33 million in capital projects and a proposed property-tax increase to cover an unexpected $450,000 rise in fleet costs; council set work sessions to review utility rates and taxes.","actionData","errors"]
