Fairfield council adopts FY2025–26 budget amendment, approves tentative FY2026–27 budget
Summary
The council adopted R2026-09 amending the current fiscal year's budget to reflect increased revenues and grant-funded expenses and approved R2026-10 adopting the tentative FY2026–27 budget, including allocations for water projects, park grants and planning/administrative costs. Both measures passed unanimously.
Fairfield’s Town Council voted May 13 to amend its FY2025–26 budget and to adopt a tentative budget for FY2026–27, moving the town forward on capital projects and planning priorities ahead of the June 30 adoption deadline.
Treasurer Codi Butterfield presented the FY2025–26 amendments, reporting that property-tax revenues exceeded projections and that landfill revenues were expected to exceed estimates by about $100,000. Butterfield also outlined roughly $400,000 in grant funding tied to park improvements and additional expenses for the North Waterline and the water and sewer master plan; she said those master-plan costs were offset by grant reimbursements. No members of the public spoke during the budget hearing.
Councilman Tyler Thomas moved to approve Resolution R2026-09, amending the FY2025–26 budget; Councilman Richard Cameron seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The Council then reviewed the tentative FY2026–27 budget. Mayor Hollie McKinney highlighted priorities including potential cemetery capital funding, continued Town Hall site improvements or future replacement, funds earmarked for drilling an additional well in the Light Industrial West area (approximately $600,000 from Utah Inland Port Authority repayment funds noted as reserved), road maintenance obligations, and funding for a contract town planner and additional accounting oversight. The Council discussed compensation levels and whether elected-official compensation or staff pay would require additional hearings or separate procedures under state law.
Councilman Tyler Thomas moved and Councilman Richard Cameron seconded adoption of Resolution R2026-10, which the Council approved unanimously.
Next steps include the June 24 Town Council meeting to complete required public hearings and final budget adoption before the June 30 statutory deadline.
