The Mapleton City Council met on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025, and formally canvassed the results of the 2025 general municipal election before approving land‑use and budget measures that affect parks and city infrastructure.

Camille, the city recorder, presented the certified canvas report and told the council that, by state code, the body serves as the board of canvassers. She noted that Darren Garrett, Jake Lake and Casey Beck are scheduled to be sworn in on Jan. 7, 2026, and said she would check with the county to resolve a small discrepancy between the number of registered voters and mailed ballots.

The council voted to approve the canvass. Councilmember Jones made the motion and Councilmember Egbert seconded; roll-call voting was recorded as indicated during the meeting.

Planning staff presented and the council approved a proposed residential facility at 4688 South 710 West, Unit J102 in the PD‑3 zone to provide daily living supports for three adults with learning and intellectual disabilities. Planning staff (Mister Conroy) told the council that the Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities and that state law and local code permit such facilities in residential areas; staff recommended approval subject to the conditions in the staff report. With no public comments, the council moved and approved the resolution to allow the residential facility.

Finance staff reviewed a fiscal‑year 2025–26 budget amendment that combined several line items. Bryce explained the main elements: a $72,000 general‑fund allotment for street lighting; $16,000 in county grant reimbursement authority; $15,000 to buy additional trail counters; and an increase tied to the Main Street City Park project. Staff described the park-related increase as $350,000 to cover the difference between the original estimate and competitive bids, $64,000 for the gazebo (which came in below the prior estimate), $15,000 for electrical service, roughly $138,000 for miscellaneous change orders (bathroom upgrades, additional landscaping, a volleyball pit and utility reconnections) and a $20,000 contingency described by staff as “breathing room.” Council discussed the contingency and voted to adopt the amendment as presented.

Administrative staff also updated the council on capital work and grant awards. Logan reported that city‑park construction is nearing completion, that the city received an Outdoor Recreation Initiative grant of $1,500,000, and that Evans Park earthwork donated by a contractor was valued at roughly $1.05 million once material, labor and other costs were included.

Before adjourning the public meeting, the council voted to go into a closed session under Utah Code 52‑4‑205 to discuss personnel matters.
