Farmington council adopts property tax schedule, FY2026 budget amendment and RDA final budget

The Farmington City Council on June 16 approved a series of formal budget and tax items required by recent state rules and internal processes.

Staff presented a standalone resolution adopting the property tax impact schedule called for by new legislation; Council member Scott moved approval and the council voted unanimously to adopt the resolution. Levi, the city finance representative, then presented the third and final amendment to the FY2026 municipal budget and answered council questions. After a public hearing with no public speakers, the council unanimously adopted the amendment.

Levi also explained an interim FY2027 municipal budget that will be effective from July 1 until the truth-in-taxation hearing and final adoption in August; he said the interim version reflects certified county rate values and contains no material changes from the tentative budget. Separately, during the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) portion of the meeting staff described how tax increment financing was used for past projects such as Station Park and said current RDA funds have minimal activity. The RDA final budget for FY2027 was opened for public comment (none) and adopted unanimously.

Council members thanked staff for clear, detailed schedules and said the budget committee and department-head ranking process inform how “other” and grouped line items are handled in the packet. No items were pulled from the summary action list for separate consideration.

Votes at a glance: - Resolution adopting property tax impact schedule — moved by Scott; unanimous approval. - FY2026 municipal budget amendment — moved and seconded after public hearing; unanimous approval. - RDA final budget (FY2027) — public hearing closed with no comment; unanimous approval.

The council reconvened to city council business after the RDA votes and proceeded to other agenda items.
