April 16, 2026 CC Meeting

The Brigham City Corporation held a City Council meeting on April 16, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key procurement topics included the approval of an amendment to the existing lease agreement with Verizon Wireless to allow T-Mobile to colocate on a cell tower at Pioneer Park, and the approval of a facade grant of $10,000 for the Canson Brothers building at 63 South Main Street to stimulate downtown revitalization. The council also considered and approved an ordinance amending the city code to update the consolidated fee schedule, including power rates. A detailed presentation was given on the need for power rate increases of 4% annually over four years to support significant capital improvements, including the construction of three new substations, with a focus on maintaining reserve levels and managing operating costs. Additionally, the council discussed the need for new indoor recreation gym space due to declining program participation linked to limited facility availability. Two design options for a new gym facility were presented with estimated costs of $9 million and $12 million, respectively, and the council expressed support for proceeding with engineering and design work without requiring a property tax increase or general obligation bond. The meeting concluded with a motion to move into a closed session for further discussion.
