Orem City Council Meeting | 11.10.2026

The Orem City Council work session and meeting, titled November 10, 2026 (metadata timestamp: November 11 UTC), included a regional transportation planning presentation and updates on city infrastructure funding. MAG described its draft 2055 Regional Transportation Plan and its project-prioritization and funding processes, including approximately $110 million programmed every two years for regional projects. City staff reviewed the Center Street project from I-15 to Geneva Road: Avenue is the current design consultant, construction funding was described as available in 2028, and the project is expected to go to bid in spring 2028. The scope includes roadway widening, railroad-crossing coordination, sidewalks, lighting, and storm-drain work; the discussion cited approximately $11.1 million in 2024 funding and a 6.77% city match. Construction could extend across two summers.

Officials also discussed a proposed bond financing for major water and wastewater infrastructure, including treatment upgrades driven by federal requirements and seismic improvements. The proposed parameters would allow up to $85 million in bonds, with a maximum 30-year term and 6% interest rate; adoption was planned for a later council meeting, followed by a public hearing, with a target closing in mid-March. Staff said the city had accumulated about 42% of the total project cost and secured roughly 10% through grants, and that well projects were being prepared for bidding over the coming months. No bond authorization or procurement award was made at this meeting. The council did not approve the proposed 2026 schedule change; no other procurement-related votes were identified.
