Alta Council adopts FY2026 capital, water and sewer budgets and approves rate resolutions
Summary
Alta Town Council on June 18 adopted proposed FY2026 budgets for the capital projects, water and sewer funds and approved formal water and sewer rate resolutions and a capital plan amendment including a $60,000 vehicle purchase.
Alta Town Council voted June 18 to adopt proposed fiscal year 2026 budgets for the capital projects, water and sewer funds and to formalize new water and sewer rates.
The decisions, taken by roll call vote, implement budget resolutions and related rate resolutions the council discussed in public sessions earlier this month. Council members voted unanimously to adopt the proposed FY2026 budgets for capital projects, water and sewer and to approve separate resolutions adopting water and sewer rates.
Council members said the votes put the town on a clearer financial path for scheduled utilities and capital work. Council member John (Council member) said the water and sewer plans will require sharper discussions on funding options because replacement and long-term maintenance are costly. "It's probably the most important issue we're facing is how are we going to pay for these lists of projects," John said during the meeting.
The council also approved the capital projects plan with a small line-item edit: the planned vehicle purchase for the Alta Marshals program was increased to $60,000 for FY2025. That edit was made during the vote on resolution 2025-R-16 and passed on the same unanimous roll call.
Votes on the main actions were recorded by roll call. Council member Ansell: Yes; Council member Berg: Yes; Council member Morgan: Yes; Council member Schilling: Yes; Mayor Burke: Yes.
Staff said the council will present the general fund budget and related truth-in-taxation materials at the August meeting and that rate and capital schedules may be adjusted later if required.
The council scheduled follow-up work this summer as officials finalize exact rate schedules and prepare outreach materials for residents and businesses.
