Orangeville council approves tentative 2026–27 budgets, short‑term rental and RV ordinances

The Orangeville City Council approved a slate of routine and regulatory items at its regular meeting on May 14, 2026, including the city’s tentative fiscal year 2026–2027 budgets and two code amendments affecting short‑term rentals and recreational vehicle courts.

Council approved Resolution 2026‑4, adopting tentative general fund, utility, municipal building authority, capital project and perpetual care budgets for fiscal year 2026–2027 after a budget presentation at the public hearing by the city’s accountant, Gary Keddington. The resolution was moved by Doug Stilson and seconded by David McKee; the roll call recorded five affirmative votes and the motion passed.

Also passed were Ordinance 2025‑4, which amends sections of the city code governing short‑term rentals (including purpose, permitting, inspections and exemptions), and Ordinance 2026‑5, an amendment to section 11‑11‑25.6(B)(10) concerning recreational vehicle courts. Both ordinances were discussed during the public hearing before the council meeting and carried unanimous five‑member support on final motions.

Other routine items approved included the consent approval of April 16 public‑hearing minutes and April 16 regular‑session minutes; a $50 vendor booth refund requested by Jackie Jensen for Orangeville Days; and ratification of a $206.98 purchase for a replacement dead pin on the city’s new backhoe to allow removal of the bucket. Each motion passed with five affirmative votes.

The meeting recorded no public comments during the public‑comment period. The council’s unanimous votes on these items mean they advance as city actions; the resolution is tentative pending any required subsequent hearings or final budget adoption steps.
