Brigham City dissolves X‑20 redevelopment project area as tax increment sunsets

The Brigham City Redevelopment Agency and Brigham City Council took matching actions March 6 to dissolve the Bridal City X‑20 economic development project area after the project’s tax‑increment revenue reached its sunset.

At the start of the evening the Redevelopment Agency convened briefly, approved prior RDA meeting minutes and adopted a resolution dissolving the Bridal City X‑20 economic development project area (created February 2005). The agency motion to adopt the resolution was moved by Board Member Hipp and seconded by Board Member Smith; the resolution passed by voice vote.

City staff explained that the area had been established to support a facility years earlier and that, because the project's tax‑increment financing term had ended, the agency needed to settle up outstanding matters and formally dissolve the project area.

Later in the city council meeting, the council considered an ordinance implementing the same dissolution. Council Member Smith moved to approve an ordinance dissolving the Bridal City X‑20 economic development project area; the motion was seconded and passed by roll call. The meeting transcript records the ordinance passing without opposition.

Other actions at the meeting included a motion by Council Member Smith to table action item No. 2 until the next council meeting; the motion was seconded by Council Member Jensen and was agreed to. The council also voted to adjourn into a closed session to discuss the purchase, exchange or lease of real property; that motion was made by Council Member Denton, seconded by Council Member Hipp, and the council adjourned to closed session by roll call.

The dissolution directs staff to proceed with closing procedures for the former project area. The council did not record additional details about any remaining obligations or the final accounting during the public portion of the meeting; council staff present indicated follow‑up work would be handled administratively.
