Mount Pleasant council adopts property tax rate, library and LBA budgets; delays city budget and pay ordinance
Summary
The Mount Pleasant City Council on June 9 approved the library and Local Building Authority budgets and adopted the city's 2026 property tax rate while postponing the city operating budget and a compensation ordinance pending further review of wage-line discrepancies.
Mount Pleasant City Council approved several fiscal items and ordinances at its June 9 meeting while postponing the city's operating budget for further review.
The council adopted Resolution 2026-08 approving the Mount Pleasant City Library operating budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Councilman Cade A. Beck moved the library budget and the motion carried with Councilmen Russell G. Keisel, Cade A. Beck and Jakob Howcroft voting yes.
Councilman Beck moved to postpone adoption of Resolution 2026-09, the city operating budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027, citing discrepancies identified in wage line items and requesting further review with the mayor and select council members; the motion to postpone passed 3-0.
The council approved Resolution 2026-10 adopting the 2026 Mount Pleasant City property tax rate. The meeting record shows the council approved the resolution but does not specify the numeric rate in the transcript.
The Local Building Authority's operating budget (LBA2026-01) for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 was adopted by the council. The council also acted on a set of ordinances: Ordinance #2026-09, establishing mitigation rates for the Mount Pleasant Fire Department for emergency and non-emergency services, was approved. Ordinance #2026-10, creating a new Chapter 42 in Title 10 of the Mount Pleasant Municipal Code to establish a review process for new or unlisted business uses as required by Utah Code 10-20-507, was approved subject to updating reference numbers before final execution. Ordinance #2026-08, which would amend compensation for certain municipal officers and elected officials, was postponed because it is tied to the city operating budget that was also postponed.
Votes recorded in the meeting minutes show the approving votes on carried motions were cast by Councilmen Keisel, Beck and Howcroft. For items where the meeting transcript did not provide numeric details (for example, the adopted property tax rate), the record is silent and the numeric value is not specified in the minutes.
What happens next: council members requested staff and the mayor work with select council members to reconcile wage-line discrepancies prior to taking the city operating budget and compensation ordinance up again at a future public meeting. The council is scheduled to meet next on June 25, 2026.
