Orangeville council approves budget amendment, worker pay bump, business licenses and community donations
Summary
At its March 12 meeting, the Orangeville City Council passed RESOLUTION 2026-3 to amend the 2025–26 budgets, approved wage and utility-account changes, granted two business licenses and authorized four $100 donations to local students.
The Orangeville City Council on March 12 approved a package of routine governance items, including a budget amendment, personnel and billing adjustments, two business licenses and four small donations to local students.
RESOLUTION 2026-3, described by staff as an amendment to the 2025–2026 General Fund, Municipal Building Authority, Capital Projects Fund, Utility Fund, Perpetual Care, and Class C Fund budgets, passed on a motion with a recorded five affirmative votes. The motion was moved and seconded and the roll call recorded five yes votes (David McKee, Kari Alton, Doug Stilson, Kirk McQuivey and Kevin Butler). The resolution did not list specific line-item changes in the minutes.
Council approved a wage increase for a city worker, moving Richard Miles’ pay to $15.00 per hour after Mayor Shaun Bell recommended the raise; the motion passed with the same five affirmative votes. The council also approved an account credit for Richard Cox after staff verified the parcel he occupies lies within city limits; the credit will refund the difference charged at county water rates.
The council approved business licenses for Travis Nielson and for Woody’s Roadside Grill after Zoning Administrator Seth Manning confirmed required documentation and health inspections had been completed. The council recorded motions and seconds for both approvals and moved them by voice vote with five affirmative votes.
The council voted to provide $100 donations to support the Emery High School senior graduation party and to help three students—Elli Stilson, Ellie Stoker and Lizzy Roberts—attend state-level government events; each donation carried a motion and second and recorded five affirmative votes.
Motions were recorded in the minutes with mover and seconder where noted; roll-call tallies in the minutes show unanimous affirmative votes for the recorded motions. No motions failed or were tabled during the meeting.
The council adjourned following routine staff and member reports. The minutes do not record detailed budget line changes or additional conditions tied to the passage of RESOLUTION 2026-3; those details were not specified in the meeting record and would require follow-up with city staff for exact allocations.
