Council delays decision on $6,000–$8,000 City Hall Christmas tree replacement
Summary
Facilities Manager Wayne Smith proposed replacing a deteriorated 30-year-old City Hall courtyard Christmas tree with a $6,000–$8,000 display; Mayor Foley and City Manager Quinn Bennion recommended the purchase be placed on a discretionary list for later budget consideration.
Facilities Manager Wayne Smith reviewed the Facilities Department budget and noted that most line items remained unchanged for FY2027. Smith raised one potential addition: replacing the approximately 30‑year‑old City Hall courtyard Christmas tree display, which he said has deteriorated and would likely cost between $6,000 and $8,000 to replace.
Mayor Corey Foley and City Manager Quinn Bennion supported the concept but recommended placing the purchase on the Council's discretionary list to be revisited during final budget deliberations rather than approving it immediately.
