Cedar City Council Meeting - October 21, 2026

Cedar City Council work meeting — October 21, 2026: The council discussed several procurement and asset-management matters. For the airport terminal camera-system expansion, staff reported two bids and recommended DSI National at $51,548.73; the item was advanced to the consent agenda for a later meeting, so no final award was recorded. The council also advanced a five-year airport planning-engineering services selection to consent: Ardura scored 87.5/100 and Walpert 80.75/100 in the qualifications review, with fees to be negotiated and independently checked after selection. For the Coal Creek Gravel lease, staff corrected the existing royalty rate to $0.80 per cubic yard and reported that the operator sought authorization to mine an additional 500,000 cubic yards. The council voted to place the item on a future action agenda and directed the manager to discuss an increased rate with the operator before returning with a report.

The proposed budget policy, emphasizing revenue forecasting, lifecycle costs, capital planning, and regular financial reporting, was also advanced to a future action agenda for consideration by resolution. Other discussion included a proposed water-credit allocation agreement for Cedar 106 parcels, which was moved toward consent pending updated signatures, and a master-plan-road discussion that produced no formal decision. The council also scheduled follow-up consideration of fire-risk mitigation and access restrictions on city-owned open space. No final contract award or gravel-lease amendment was approved at this meeting.
