Immigration Canyon council adopts 2026 budget, updates fee schedule and planning appointments
Summary
The Immigration Canyon City Council adopted the fiscal year 2026 budget and approved several routine ordinances and appointments at its May 20 meeting, including a revised fee schedule, engineering standards and a planning‑commission reappointment.
The Immigration Canyon City Council adopted the city’s fiscal year 2026 budget on May 20 and approved a package of administrative measures, including an updated fee schedule and engineering standards.
Council members completed a roll‑call vote to finalize the budget after a public hearing earlier in the meeting. Mayor Smoka called for the roll call; Council members recorded their votes in favor. The council then approved an ordinance establishing the updated fee schedule and adopted the city’s revised engineering standards. The council also reappointed Dale Barrett to the planning commission and approved minutes from recent meetings.
Under Resolution 2025‑07 the council adopted the year‑2026 budget after a publicly noticed hearing. The meeting record shows the council voted unanimously to adopt the resolution. The agreed fee schedule ordinance (Ordinance 2025‑03) updates application, stormwater and inspection fees and adds an election filing fee of $50. The council approved the updated engineering standards that align municipal practice with state and industry standards (APWA/APWA 255 references) and added code cross‑references.
Council members moved and seconded motions on the items and approved them by voice votes or roll call as required by statute. A planning‑commission reappointment for Dale Barrett was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The minutes for the April meetings were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote earlier in the meeting.
The council held the required public hearing on the tentative budget before adopting it; officials said the tentative budget had been posted on the public hearing notice locations and at the municipal service district office in advance of the hearing and that copies were available at the fire station door.
No motions to acquire private property were approved in connection with the road‑widening discussion (see separate story). Council members said they would return to the council for any proposed property acquisitions or other actions that would affect private parcels.
