The Brigham City Council voted Dec. 4 to create a Public Infrastructure District (PID) for the area identified in the petition (referred to in materials both as “Aidan Shores” and “Avian Shores”). Attorney Aaron Wade of Gilmore & Bell and city staff explained the district’s legal structure, financing limits and planned infrastructure, and then took public comment before the council approved the resolution.

Wade told the council the governing documents and state law together will determine the district’s powers and governance. He said the petition includes an annexation area to allow future boundary adjustments only with property‑owner consent, and that the initial board of trustees will be appointed from property owners (or their agents) rather than by the council.

Council members asked about a maximum debt or tax cap; Wade said the applicant proposed a $20,000,000 maximum limited‑tax debt limit. When a council member asked whether that figure was $20 million or $20 billion, Wade clarified it was $20,000,000.

Wade and staff explained the PID may impose special assessments and a limited tax levy to repay debt, and that the special assessments on residential property must be prepaid at conveyance if so required by the district documents. He emphasized the taxes and assessments apply only to properties inside the petitioned district, not to the entire city.

City staff summarized how the district proceeds would be used if the council approved the resolution: engineering estimates for roadway improvements on 1200 West were cited in the range of roughly $7–9 million; staff also flagged a regional sewer lift station, water and storm systems, public rights of way, a trail network and potential pocket parks as eligible public infrastructure.

During the public hearing, residents raised environmental and geotechnical concerns (possible wetlands, water rights and liquefaction), asked whether schools had been consulted about enrollment impacts and ongoing service costs, and expressed interest in how parks and trails would be paid and maintained. Staff said impact fees will pay for park development and the school board has been notified about growth scenarios; staff also said normal development processes and certificate‑of‑occupancy rules remain in force and will continue to govern when infrastructure must be completed.

After public comment the council moved to adopt the resolution. The mayor announced the motion passed following roll call; staff reported the vote appeared unanimous.
