Summary

The Milford City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 11-20-25 supporting the America250 Utah celebration and agreed to form a separate committee to consider state-distributed funding for the 250th anniversary events.

The Milford City Council adopted Resolution 11-20-25 to express support for America250 Utah and to authorize formation of a committee to plan local participation and review any state funds that the city may receive.

Council members said the state will distribute some America250 funds to cities and counties on a first-come, first-served basis. The council agreed not to place the new committee workload on the existing July 4 committee and instead add a separate committee to handle planning and potential grant funds.

Councilmember Russell made the motion and Councilmember Les seconded. During roll call, Scott, Eric and Russell recorded “yes” votes; the chair noted the motion passed unanimously.

The resolution was adopted so the council can decide how to use any funding once it is received. The council did not specify committee membership, a timeline for applying for funds, or a budget during the meeting.

No public testimony or objections regarding the resolution were recorded in the transcript.
