Milford council adopts FY2026–27 budget, tax rate and package of resolutions
Summary
Council approved the FY2026–27 operating budget, amended FY2025–26 budget, set the 2026 tax rate (0.00951) with estimated city revenue $129,063, and adopted multiple resolutions including green‑fee increases and URS contribution; most motions passed unanimously by roll call.
The Milford City Council on June 16 adopted its fiscal year 2026–27 operating budget, approved an amendment to the FY2025–26 operating budget and passed a package of routine resolutions including adjustments to golf green fees, the Utah Retirement Systems (URS) employer contribution resolution, an approved vendor list, and the tax rate for real and personal property.
Budget and taxes: On a roll call vote the council adopted Resolution 8‑2026, approving the FY2026–27 operating budget. Staff reported the real and personal property tax rate was set at 0.00951, which staff estimated will generate $129,063 for the city in the coming year.
Resolutions and contracts: The council approved an addendum to the Melbourne Golf Association contract that increases summer maintenance fees by $1,000 per month and adjusts green fees for tournament revenue sharing; the council also approved the URS contribution resolution and the annual vendor list. Where votes were recorded the motions carried unanimously.
Capital projects: The council also agreed to create a capital improvement project fund on the auditor's recommendation to segregate general‑fund dollars for multi‑year capital needs (fire station repairs, equipment, parking lot, rec‑complex restrooms and drainage work). Council asked staff to maintain a prioritized 'wish list' of projects to fund from this capital account in future budgets.
Wastewater update: Staff reported the wastewater lift‑station project came in under budget (bids lowered the estimate from ~$2.1M to about $1.2M), allowing the city to reduce loan and grant amounts by roughly $400,000 each; CIB funding close was scheduled for June 25 and construction was expected to start shortly thereafter.
Procedural note: Most motions and resolutions were passed by unanimous roll call; the meeting record shows yes votes from the roster called during each roll call.
