Price City Council approves vacating industrial plat and a slate of resolutions
Summary
The council voted to vacate the Price Business & Industrial Park subdivision plat, accepted the FY2025 audit, authorized an RFQ for NRCS stormwater mitigation, and adopted three resolutions, including a veterans hiring enhancement; individual roll‑call vote totals were not provided in the transcript.
Price City Council on Feb. 25 approved an ordinance vacating the Price Business & Industrial Park subdivision plat on 1900 East and adopted multiple resolutions and administrative actions, while also accepting the city’s FY2025 audit.
The council approved Ordinance No. 26‑02 to vacate the interior lot lines of the Price Business & Industrial Park subdivision (location described as 1900 East between Airport Road and 300 North). The action followed a public hearing in which property owner Kim Martino said the parcels’ elevation and lack of sewer made development prohibitively expensive and that dissolving interior lot lines would reduce the tax burden while keeping exterior boundaries intact. After public discussion the council moved to approve the ordinance; the motion passed with council voice votes recorded as “Aye.” The transcript records the motion passing but does not list individual roll‑call vote tallies.
Council also accepted the Larson & Company FY2025 audit after a presentation from the auditor, who reported unmodified (clean) opinions on the financial statements, state compliance and federal award programs and said there were no reportable findings or material weaknesses. As the auditor summarized, the financial statements “present fairly in all material respects” (auditor’s wording in the presentation). A motion to accept the audit was made, seconded and approved.
On infrastructure, council authorized staff to proceed with a qualifications‑based RFQ process for engineering services tied to an NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection stormwater mitigation award. Staff told council the city qualified for NRCS assistance for roughly 10–12 damaged locations, but the award amount is not yet known; the design and construction work will be constrained by a 220‑day completion window once funding is awarded.
The council adopted three resolutions: Resolution 2026‑1 establishing a military veterans hiring enhancement (described in the workshop as an enhancement, not a hiring preference), Resolution 2026‑2 authorizing filing a quiet‑title claim for parcel ID 01‑1791‑000 to clear fractional ownership clouds, and Resolution 2026‑3 approving an amended and restated power‑pooling agreement with Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems related to extended day‑ahead market participation. All three measures were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript shows the motions passing but does not provide detailed vote tallies by member.
Other procedural business included approval of the consent agenda and miscellaneous administrative items. The meeting adjourned at 6:44 p.m.
What happens next: staff will proceed with the RFQ advertising and selection process for the stormwater mitigation design, and title‑claim work and contract updates will move forward as administrative items. Several items the public raised — notably sewer feasibility and tax assessment on the vacated parcels — were discussed by staff as follow‑ups rather than finalized actions.
