The Castle Dale City Council held its final meeting of the year on December 12, 2024, addressing key community concerns and approving important initiatives that will benefit local residents.

One of the highlights of the meeting was a request from the rodeo committee, represented by Jackie Fox, for the city to waive fees for the use of the indoor arena during the week leading up to the annual rodeo. This request aims to facilitate necessary preparations, including leveling the arena with the help of county equipment. The council unanimously approved the fee waiver, recognizing the positive impact of the rodeo on the community, particularly its special needs rodeo event that supports local youth.

In addition to the rodeo discussions, the council reviewed an audit report, which confirmed that the city’s financial statements were accurately presented. This audit is crucial for maintaining transparency and accountability in city finances, ensuring that taxpayer dollars are managed responsibly.

The meeting also included a roll call and the adoption of minutes from the previous meeting, demonstrating the council's commitment to procedural integrity. With a full council present, the discussions reflected a collaborative effort to address community needs and enhance local services.

As the year comes to a close, the council's decisions signal a focus on community engagement and support for local events, setting a positive tone for the upcoming year. Residents can look forward to continued improvements and initiatives that foster community spirit and inclusivity.
