The town board voted on Oct. 1 to cancel the 2025 municipal election after officials said no candidates filed for any council or mayoral positions.
During the meeting the board presented Resolution 2025‑04, which cited Utah Code section 28‑1‑206 as authorizing cancellation when there are no candidates for election. The resolution directs the recorder to post notice on the statewide voter information website for 15 consecutive days, publish notice at least twice in a local newspaper before the scheduled election date, and submit a copy of the resolution to the county clerk and the lieutenant governor's office.
Board members recorded their votes on the resolution: Matt Draper—Aye; Spencer Proctor—Aye; Miff Bishop—Aye; Richard Pine—Aye; the presiding official also acknowledged the action and signing. The resolution was presented as effective immediately upon passage.
No contested seats or write‑ins were recorded during the meeting and the board did not take other election actions at Oct. 1. The recorder was directed to carry out the posting and publication steps laid out in the resolution.
