Cache County Council Ordinance and Policy Review Committee 11-13-2026

The Cache County Ordinance and Policy Review Committee met November 13, 2026. Because members and staff were absent, the committee said it could not take action on agenda items; it deferred approval of the October 2 minutes. Members discussed allocating guideway optional tax funds to transportation projects through COG/CMPO on a project-by-project basis rather than providing an ongoing unrestricted commitment. They described a funding framework in which 12% of the relevant 40% share goes to the county road department and 28% is available for potential projects. Examples included bike-lane projects estimated at about $1.2 million, with roughly $700,000–$800,000 in federal funding available, and road projects such as 4,400 South and 200 West. No project funding was approved. The committee asked an executive representative to draft a policy procedure, in coordination with Matt, for presenting project proposals and making future funding decisions in open council meetings.

The committee also discussed the Title 15 wildland-interface ordinance, the process for advertising and filling committee vacancies, and background checks for volunteers; members noted the county covers any applicable background-check costs. A public speaker presented concerns about livestock trespass and virtual fencing, prompting discussion of the need for a clear county fencing ordinance and enforcement guidance. No fencing policy or ordinance was adopted, and no procurement award, contract, or vendor selection was identified. The meeting concluded with discussion of aiming for a January meeting.
