Garden City council adopts six ordinances and a budget, approves numerous business licenses
Summary
At its June 11 meeting, the Garden City Town Council adopted multiple ordinances and a resolution, approved a slate of business licenses, and adopted the 2027 budget for the town’s General, Water, Capital Project, Fixed Asset and Beach Access funds; one business license was denied because a state professional license had lapsed.
Garden City’s Town Council adopted several ordinances, approved a budget for fiscal 2026–27 and cleared multiple business licenses at its June 11 meeting.
The council approved Resolution R26-02 to adjust the 2025–26 budget and adopted Ordinance #26-14 updating off-street parking requirements and Ordinance #26-17 adding accessory dwelling units, each with the changes the council discussed. Later in the evening the council also approved Ordinance #26-15 (food truck regulations), Ordinance #26-16 (short-term rental definitions) and Ordinance #26-18 (temporary camping at the town complex). All measures were moved, seconded and recorded as carried by the council members present.
Why it matters: the ordinances update local land-use and operational rules that affect short-term rentals, food vendors, parking requirements and temporary use of municipal property. Those changes will govern permitting and enforcement at the local level and affect owners and operators of short-term rentals, mobile food businesses and property managers when the ordinances take effect.
Votes and formal actions: each ordinance and the resolution were adopted on motions that recorded Council Member Brad Davis, Council Member Ken Hansen and Council Member Susann House as voting in favor. The minutes record the motions and seconders for each item; formal tallies were recorded in the meeting minutes as “for” by the three voting members and “Motion Carried.” The minutes do not show nay votes, abstentions, or votes by an absent council member.
Next steps: the Town Clerk will make the adopted ordinances and the adjusted budget part of the municipal record and implement the changes according to the town’s adoption procedures. The minutes state the public hearings on the ordinances and the 2027 budget were held before the votes.
