Summary

Council reviewed a resolution to reauthorize Mayfield’s recreation/arts/parks (RAP) sales tax (one‑tenth of 1%) and to submit Proposition 1 to the Nov. 4, 2025 general election as required under Utah Code 59‑12‑14(2); the resolution text was read and a motion to approve was made, though the transcript does not record a formal roll‑call result.

Council considered a resolution to reauthorize Mayfield’s RAP (recreation, arts and parks) local sales‑and‑use tax and to place a reauthorization question on the Nov. 4, 2025 ballot. The resolution text read into the record cites Utah Code 59‑12‑14(2) and would continue a local 0.1% tax for another 10 years if approved by voters.

The resolution (identified in the packet as Resolution 2025‑GS in the meeting discussion) directs the town recorder to notify the county clerk and to take all steps necessary for ballot placement. A council member read the one‑page proposition language, which states the town seeks to continue imposing a sales and use tax of one‑tenth of 1% for the stated purposes.

A council member moved to approve the resolution during the meeting. The transcript records the reading and the motion but does not include an explicit roll‑call vote result in the meeting record excerpt provided. Council discussion emphasized that the tax is an earmark for recreational and cultural programs and that if voters do not authorize continuation the funds would remain in the state pool rather than be retained locally.
