Utah Lake Authority approves FY2026 budget amendments, long-range capital plan and delegates property-negotiation authority
Summary
The Utah Lake Authority board approved consent items (minutes, Q1 financials, 2026 meeting schedule), adopted FY2026 budget amendments including a $30,000 increase for PCB lab work, approved the long-range capital plan and passed a resolution delegating property-negotiation authority to the executive director.
At its Nov. 12 meeting, the Utah Lake Authority approved several formal actions: consent items, fiscal-year 2026 budget amendments, adoption of the long-range capital plan, and a resolution delegating property-negotiation authority to the executive director.
Consent agenda: the board voted to approve the Sept. 2025 meeting minutes, the FY2026 Q1 financial reports and resolution 2025-02 adopting the 2026 public meeting schedule. Motions were moved and seconded on the record and carried unanimously.
Budget amendments: staff led a public hearing and described three related documents: proposed amendments to the general fund statement, capital projects fund adjustments, and updates to the long-range capital plan. Sam said updated end-of-year actuals required minor revenue adjustments and that the Authority elected not to transfer general-fund dollars to the capital projects fund this year. Sam said the capital projects budget was reduced where a second ORI grant application was unsuccessful and noted a $30,000 increase to the conservation/restoration budget to fund additional Division of Water Quality laboratory work for a PCB project, with the goal of informing any future changes to consumption advisories. After a public-hearing period with no substantive public testimony, the board moved, seconded and voted to adopt the FY2026 budget amendments.
Long-range capital plan: the board considered and approved the plan as presented.
Delegation of authority: the board approved a resolution authorizing the executive director to negotiate property agreements on behalf of the Authority, with a motion, a second and a recorded vote in favor.
