Public works staff summarized the proposed increase as a modest annual step rather than a single large bump: the draft rates presented would move the base (monthly) culinary-water charge to $39.60 and retain tiered usage blocks designed to encourage conservation, with higher per‑1,000‑gallon charges in higher tiers. Staff described the top tier as $3.00 per 1,000 gallons for usage above 10,000 gallons; the middle tiers would be $1.68 per 1,000 and $2.30 per 1,000 for the intermediary blocks, as presented in staff materials.

Public works staff said the proposed change would cover an expected $78,000 increase in water operations expenditures included in the FY26 budget and noted the city budgets for a possible 5% rate increase in its revenue estimates for the coming fiscal year. Staff also explained that bills are issued in arrears and that, administratively, a June 17 decision would provide adequate time to update customer bills (the new charges would not appear on bills until about August).

Several council members said they preferred giving the public additional time to comment given past criticism about rate changes. A motion to table the rate increase and put the item before the budget on the June 17 agenda passed unanimously. Staff said it would return with notice and final calculations at that meeting.","Public works proposed a 5% increase in culinary water rates (base rate to $39.60 and tiered usage charges), but the council voted to delay action and place the rate discussion ahead of final budget action at the June 17 meeting to give the public a chance to comment.",{"_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},6214466,"Centerville council tables FY26 final budget after debate over reserves, lobbyist and community spending",2064,2376000,4440000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3667517-bf9c1173e9a063e8645be96b0c45e838&start=2376&end=4440","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3667517-bf9c1173e9a063e8645be96b0c45e838/thumbnail_2376000.jpg","/articles/6214466/Utah/Centerville-council-tables-FY26-final-budget-after-debate-over-reserves-lobbyist-and-community-spending","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6214466-3ac3625c5c0ca010e5d6016a8a2b21ba/orig.mp4?Expires=1770810329&Signature=MeqKi~sMsBzRv7oxG4s3ycbXyoqz~ZusABj0yIlE218pOHkU2kx1oOtTcx2yBt5tq2wLXoSYdoyq9mNC964ii~2VrpPvxq92T1VQ26FTbKzmcFuzAytJVnUEO5bjVYKeMi-30WCqpBuUq~0K1LLViYS7SEMhsTD~bGOO0IcMd4yjfiZL29ug4d7veNjHOEF54QjZIuH8v6ZAAUdWOhSLHb-7MqR2UCJIYxCmYi7nt1963Qiz~pxjVx3GkdueK6bq1uswwGiPec665iMrTsJVArZ5kwtJ~DFKmFese5E-rSIj7AamiRhDmNgZy0SMrkxU9HBf3E2aaE-9hWk4jsAP~g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Centerville City Council opened a public hearing on the fiscal year 2026 final budget and then voted unanimously to table adoption until its June 17 meeting to allow more time for public comment and for final property-tax figures, staff said.

Finance staff told the council that the county assessor and auditor had provided preliminary property‑tax revenue figures and that figures on the state website had fluctuated in recent days; the staff increased the property‑tax estimate shown in the packet to $2,311,420 but noted the number remained preliminary and under state review and could change before the council adopts a final budget.

City Finance Director Nate Pazier summarized other changes implemented since the tentative budget: an increased contribution to the capital projects transfer ($261,784), a reduced projected use of fund balance ($1,114,325), restored street-insurance costs ($7,292) that had been omitted in the tentative packet, and an increase to drainage maintenance contract amounts based on recent bids (to $225,000).

During public comment and council discussion, Council member Brian Plummer said he opposed some line items and urged the city to spend COVID-relief reserves on visible community projects such as scoreboards for athletic fields and cultural funding. “We have millions in reserves, and roughly 4,000,000 of that came from federal COVID relief funds,” Plummer said. He asked for a 2.5% COLA plus a 2.5% merit increase for staff and said he preferred spending that residents could see and use rather than on consultants and a lobbyist.

Other council members and the mayor responded that the lobbyist has helped the city secure grant funding for major water projects, citing staff statements that the city paid about $307,395 to secure approximately $1,570,000 in grant funding for a water tank project and that similar federal opportunities could be pursued only by active engagement. Staff and supporters of pursuing grant funds said that using lobbyists to pursue outside funding reduces the local tax or fee burden for costly infrastructure projects.

After discussion, Councilmember (name not specified in the record) moved and the council seconded a motion to table Resolution 2025-08 (adopting the FY26 final budget) until the June 17 council meeting. The motion passed unanimously. Staff said that state law requires final budget adoption by June 30 and that the postponement allows time for updated property-tax figures from the state tax commission.","Council opened the public hearing on the fiscal year 2026 final budget, discussed updated property-tax estimates and spending priorities including lobbyist fees and community projects, and voted unanimously to table adoption until the June 17 meeting to give the public additional comment time and finalize property-tax numbers.",{"_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},6214471,"Council adopts employee pay schedule; holds hearing on executive officers and sets justice court judge pay",938,1452000,2390000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3667517-bf9c1173e9a063e8645be96b0c45e838&start=1452&end=2390","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3667517-bf9c1173e9a063e8645be96b0c45e838/thumbnail_1452000.jpg","/articles/6214471/Utah/Council-adopts-employee-pay-schedule-holds-hearing-on-executive-officers-and-sets-justice-court-judge-pay","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6214471-2e9094e4e2dfb812869bf823efe76566/orig.mp4?Expires=1770810329&Signature=VoGSxZtuBRctN7DGWXRxlh7ixE1Zonh0S1tnjwqomqrMMOERucYVQuy1LVHavegft~cXFgHVOfsOD3-58aq0ZPi565yuMtB6hKE9Gf57rPRi9KlhY1hxJjJ9oirQVilwWykCwKkYd3ThDS054sGekHqy7yCr~Gg-e68Pb9AJrbov7~nKKHPzb-YkXbUgtJQ36xpzA8w-AevY9NMwqyvXSYI-8VNDKnpZTpJlrfCLO1MUp5VXfm~yPAaA1YV8OBQNd0m786RLM~PhscO8Yj~snBILGRUqsf~qN6mY0tgBcuQdiE7X9YmbdifgHwMQyPsGUU9Srg89p0BxBWKub3uiaQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Centerville City Council on Tuesday adopted Ordinance 2025-11, updating the city’s employee compensation schedule for fiscal year 2026 to reflect a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) and the associated midpoint shift for pay ranges.

The change is intended to keep pay ranges aligned with market movement so employees do not reach the top of their grade quickly, city Finance Director Nate Pazier told the council during the staff presentation. Pazier said the adopted schedule raises the midpoint by 2.5% and adjusts minimums and maximums around that midpoint.

The council also held the statutorily required public hearing on executive municipal officer compensation. Pazier explained that state legislation requires notice and a hearing prior to final budget adoption; the hearing covers positions defined in local code as municipal executive officers — a list he read that included the city manager, city attorney, police chief and lieutenant, administrative services director, community development director, finance director, parks and recreation director, public works director, and the supervisors for drainage, streets and water. The hearing does not itself require a separate council vote; salaried changes for executives are implemented through the overall budget process and the city’s merit-allocation practice, Pazier said.

On the municipal justice court judge’s pay, the council adopted Resolution 2025-07 after staff explained state rules for part-time judge compensation. Pazier explained that state statute sets a full-time justice court salary range and the Administrative Office of the Courts compares a city’s workload to full-time workload to set a part‑time judge range. Centerville’s judge was allocated 31% of a full-time workload; staff recommended and council adopted placing the judge at the top of the part-time range, $61,170.75, because state rules require that a judge’s salary not be reduced during a term and that the judge be paid at least the average pay increase granted to city employees.

Council members voted unanimously on the employee compensation ordinance and on the judge’s compensation resolution. During discussion council members asked procedural questions about how midpoints and minimums are calculated and confirmed that a proposed code-enforcement position is not included in the adopted schedule; staff said a job description would be presented and the schedule amended if the council moves forward with that hire.

No public comments were made during the related hearings.","Centerville adopted its fiscal-year employee compensation schedule, heard a required public presentation on executive municipal officer pay, and adopted a resolution fixing the part-time justice court judge’s salary at the top of the state-prescribed range.",{"_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},6214476,"Centerville council rezones Moss family lot for two single-family parcels",717,703000,1420000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3667517-bf9c1173e9a063e8645be96b0c45e838&start=703&end=1420","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3667517-bf9c1173e9a063e8645be96b0c45e838/thumbnail_703000.jpg","/articles/6214476/Utah/Centerville-council-rezones-Moss-family-lot-for-two-single-family-parcels","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6214476-2f8aaeaa593bbe0b431af46ddc5d660c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770810329&Signature=byQAbbFHsbyi0Lk768go8stgxKQhCvaFM4p5s-2O5s-PYlm5Sss4Ku4HvfWo9gQreDqUeIEg8p95TXXpLykHpUASG86nAXlv-RzDrHTzJSOJLqkss4G~vpoMyIK4FJpu5PAurtaLWvRemNI6mm6kzLtZ6p9GrZkrYxJ3y4AzrGSrBw5sDTz15ATNfL0w9cjvQGwhnqMqUJVPxTmnwlvDLHrKpHHphGY3f~r4mgsuDOC1y~vriGB-Tx-xY3jBAWyi14KnGEtLv1la3WF1hC7gydMfivVT9c0QossXqmRtr3VeEY8BX0heKCQWXkVvmRRJPm7Of9MAZPsIrwFkwPs2xA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Centerville City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to adopt Ordinance 2025-10, rezoning about 0.72 acres at 2041 North Main Street from Agricultural Low to Residential Low to allow a two-lot subdivision, the applicant said.

The rezoning matters because it removes an agricultural restriction that would have otherwise prevented the owners from dividing the parcel into two single-family lots, each roughly 14,000 to 15,000 square feet, according to the city staff report and the applicants.

Sydney, a city staff member who presented the staff report, said the lot is currently developed with a single-family home and a large shed and that the applicants proposed splitting the lot into two parcels. She told council that the Planning Commission reviewed the application and moved to recommend approval; staff supported the rezone based on the surrounding single-family pattern and the expectation of little or no impact from the change.

Clark Moss, one of the applicants, told the council the property is family land: “I grew up in the house at 2041,” he said, and described the applicants’ intent that a family member build and live on the second lot. Moss asked when council would decide; the mayor replied the council could vote that night if it chose not to continue the matter.

After the public hearing—during which no members of the public appeared to comment—the council voted to approve the ordinance. The motion adopting Ordinance 2025-10 as read in the meeting passed unanimously.

Council members also discussed Planning Commission participation earlier in the meeting; one councillor noted repeated 4–0 commission recommendations with three members absent and asked whether the city could improve participation. City staff said they would raise the topic with commission leadership and report back.

The rezoning ordinance takes effect according to the city’s normal ordinance schedule unless the council specifies otherwise.","The Centerville City Council voted unanimously to rezone 0.72 acres at 2041 North Main Street from Agricultural Low to Residential Low, clearing the way for a two-lot subdivision the applicants said would keep housing similar to surrounding property.","actionData","errors"]
