Key city council votes

- Resolution 25-15 (FY2025 budget adjustments): Approved. The council approved adjustments to FY2025 that increase general fund revenues and expenses by $1,178,154 and transferred vehicle-sale and other receipts to the capital projects fund. (Roll-call: Paul, Wilson, Skadden, Saxton, Jackson — all Aye.)

- Resolution 25-16 (Enterprise fund transfers): Approved. The council approved transfers from water & sewer, stormwater and solid-waste enterprise funds to reimburse administrative costs of the general fund and other cross-charges; the council also approved the anticipated transfer of gain from the sale of a water-fund parcel when the sale closes. (Roll-call: unanimous among those voting.)

- Resolution 25-17 (Adopt tentative FY2026 budget and set tax-advertisement ceiling): Approved. The council adopted the tentative FY2026 budget and set a maximum advertised property-tax ceiling of 28% to meet statutory notice deadlines; the final rate will be set after a truth-in-taxation hearing on Aug. 19. (Roll-call recorded: Paul Aye; Wilson Aye; Skadden Aye; Jackson Aye; Saxton Nay. Outcome approved.)

- Ordinance 25-8 (Compensation increases per state law): Approved with council/mayor COLA removed. The council held the required public hearing on proposed compensation increases for statutory/appointed officers and then voted to remove a 2.5% COLA for the mayor and council members from the exhibit. The rest of the compensation schedule remains in the proposed budget and will take effect if the final budget is adopted. (Council vote: unanimous in favor of the ordinance as amended.)

- Ordinance 25-9 (Zoning text amendments to add an R5 high-density residential district): Approved with amendments. The planning commissionproposed R5 language to allow higher density in targeted locations; the council approved the ordinance with edits to keep R4 multifamily at 12 units per acre and to set R5 maximum density at 20 units per acre (rather than 25).

- Ordinance 25-10 and 25-11 (Amend general plan and rezone parcels at 2349 and 2365 West 6000 South): Tabled. The council tabled both items to allow the developer and staff more time to align the parcel requests to the newly created R5 options and to confirm sewer/trunk capacity and other engineering details.

- Ordinance 25-12 (Development agreement for property at 3443 West 5200 South, Sumaterra): Approved. The council approved a development agreement that allows a single mixed-use building configuration with reduced initial commercial square footage (3,000 sq ft) and multi-story residential above; the developer said the footprint and a 14-foot retail floor plate would make the property marketable while allowing future conversion to additional commercial space.

- Ordinance 25-13 (Consolidated fee schedule): Approved. The council adopted an updated, consolidated schedule of city fees; staff corrected a clerical reference in the document before adoption.

Other city actions

- Interlocal agreements for the Roy Hillside Senior Center: Resolution 25-18 (Westhaven) and Resolution 25-19 (Hooper) were both approved to allow partnering cities to participate in operations of the senior center.

RDA board

- RDA Resolution 25-1 (Tentative FY2026 RDA budget): Approved. The Roy Redevelopment Agency board approved its tentative FY2026 budget. Board members discussed that two RDA project-area increments will sunset over the next two years unless new development or an extension is pursued; the RDA has reserves that could be used for limited redevelopment planning if the agency elects to do so.
