Cottonwood Heights adopts amended budget and approves city contracts and resolutions
Summary
The council approved Ordinance 437 (amended FY25 budget) and a slate of resolutions including an interlocal election services agreement, a three‑year striping contract, annexation intent notices and a memorandum with UDOT on Butlerville — all by majority/consent.
At the April 15 meeting Cottonwood Heights City Council approved several fiscal and administrative items on consent and by motion. The council adopted Ordinance 437, amending the FY 2024–25 budget, and approved multiple resolutions including an interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County for election services (Resolution 2025‑23), a construction contract with Premier Striping Inc. for the 2025–2027 citywide striping project (Resolution 2025‑24), intent‑to‑annex notices (Resolutions 2025‑25 and 2025‑26) and a memorandum of agreement with the Utah Department of Transportation and the Utah State Historic Preservation Officer regarding the Butlerville Historic Monument (Resolution 2025‑27).
Finance Director Scott Georges presented the quarterly finance report before those votes. He said sales tax receipts are running slightly behind a notional 58% halfway benchmark (sitting around 54%), but are approximately $87,000 ahead of the same point last year and project to finish the year roughly $180,000–$200,000 ahead of last year’s collections. The municipal energy tax has trended below 2024 YTD but may recover after recent utility rate changes; transient room taxes and Class C road funds were also reviewed and remain near projections.
Public Works Director Matt Shipp reported on winter operations, fleet maintenance pressures and projects underway: the city applied about 2,000 tons of salt this winter; several trucks are nearing replacement as bonds expire; the HAWK pedestrian signal at Mount View Park was installed and is active; the Fort Union main waterline replacement will require closure of Fort Union Boulevard for roughly four to six weeks (staff pushed a requested three‑month closure to about six weeks); and multiple sidewalk, striping and storm‑drain projects are in design or bid stages.
Council votes on the budget amendment and the resolutions were carried by voice or recorded vote where noted. The council also approved the consent calendar (work session and business meeting minutes for March 4 and March 18) and adjourned.
