Under the soft glow of city hall lights, the Clinton City Council convened on August 26, 2025, to address pressing matters that directly impact the community. Among the key discussions was a crucial reminder regarding the upcoming election process, emphasizing the importance of timely ballot submissions.

Council members highlighted a significant change in election regulations: ballots must now be received by election day at 8 PM, rather than merely postmarked by that date. This shift aims to ensure that every vote counts, and council members urged residents to mail their ballots early or utilize drop boxes to avoid any last-minute issues. “If you don’t get it in probably by Friday, you’re not gonna get your vote counted,” one member cautioned, stressing the need for community awareness.

In a pivotal moment, the council unanimously approved the canvass of the Clinton City Municipal Primary Election held on August 12, 2025. The results certified four candidates—Adam B. Larson, Chris Stanson, Jennifer Still Christiansen, and Zachary M. Hatch—who will appear on the November ballot. The motion to certify the results was met with swift agreement, showcasing a collaborative spirit among council members.

As the meeting progressed, the absence of the planning commission report was noted, with the council acknowledging that Peter, the planning commission representative, was out sick. However, the city manager took the opportunity to inform the council about the upcoming Utah Leagues of Cities and Towns fall conference scheduled for October, hinting at future discussions and developments that could shape the city’s landscape.

As the meeting wrapped up, the council's commitment to keeping the community informed and engaged was evident. With the election season approaching, the emphasis on voter participation and awareness stands as a testament to the council's dedication to fostering an informed electorate in Clinton City.
