Special service district amends budget to cover added water shares tied to cemetery property
Summary
The Santaquin special service district approved Budget Amendment No. 1 to transfer funds to cover newly acquired water shares, including assessments tied to a 15-acre cemetery property.
The Santaquin special service district on Monday approved Budget Amendment No. 1 to add funds that cover newly acquired water shares and related assessment obligations.
During a public hearing on the special service district’s budget amendment, Shannon Hoffman, a city staff member, explained the change: the district picked up additional water shares following annexations and the cost of water shares increased, so funds must be transferred into the special service district to cover those costs. Hoffman confirmed the amendment includes the assessment associated with 19 shares for a 15-acre cemetery property the city acquired.
The council opened the public hearing for the special service district, heard Hoffman’s explanation, then closed the hearing with no public speakers. The council then adopted the budget amendment by unanimous voice vote.
A council member asked what “SWD” stood for; staff replied that it historically referred to “Special Water District” and that the term “Special Service District” is also used, but that the SWD label is retained on resolution numbering for consistency. No additional public testimony or alternative funding sources were discussed during the meeting.
