Midvale City Council unanimously adopts public safety tax and final budget resolution

The Midvale City Council meeting on August 19, 2025, focused on key financial decisions impacting the community, including the approval of a public safety property tax and the adoption of the city’s operating and capital budgets for the upcoming fiscal year.

The council unanimously approved Ordinance 2025-O-13, which levies a public safety property tax at a rate of $0.000249 for the calendar year 2025. This decision was made with recognition of the financial burden it may impose on residents, as it translates to an estimated increase of $5.58 per month for homeowners. The council expressed gratitude to city staff and the Unified Police Department for their efforts in minimizing the tax's impact.

In addition to the tax ordinance, the council also adopted Resolution 2025-R-47, which finalizes the operating and capital budgets for Midvale City for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. This resolution was also passed unanimously, indicating strong support among council members for the proposed financial plans.

The meeting concluded without any further action items or closed sessions, and the council moved to adjourn after a brief discussion. These financial decisions are significant as they reflect the city’s commitment to public safety and responsible budgeting in the face of community needs.
