Kaysville delays final decision on fire-station bond; council plans public outreach ahead of Aug. 20 ballot deadline
Summary
Council discussed placing a general-obligation bond for a new fire station on the ballot but agreed to wait for public input from the truth‑in‑taxation hearings and to refine the proposed amount before the Aug. 20 deadline to certify ballot measures to the Lieutenant Governor.
The Kaysville City Council discussed timetable and outreach for a proposed general-obligation bond to fund a new fire station, but stopped short of committing the question to the ballot until after public hearings.
City staff member Jason told council that preliminary design work with the consultant FFK is underway and that the deadline to submit a bond resolution for the ballot is Aug. 20. Council members said they want public input from the Aug. 6 truth-in-taxation hearing before making a final placement decision. Staff noted the council could reduce a proposed bond amount after adoption but could not increase it once submitted.
Council discussed possible dates to act and agreed to continue refining materials and public outreach; staff planned to tentatively hold additional deliberations in mid-August if needed. Council and staff emphasized giving residents time and information to comment before finalizing whether and how to put the bond question on the ballot.
