Clinton City's Work/Council Meeting Session

The Clinton City Council held a meeting on January 13, 2026, which included a significant discussion on water infrastructure projects and associated financing. The city engineer presented details on multiple Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) projects impacting Clinton City's aging water mains, emphasizing the need for replacement due to their age and the overlay of new concrete roadways. The city plans to issue a $3.9 million bond through the Utah Board of Water Resources, with a 15-year term at an interest rate of approximately 3.09%, to fund these projects. The bond requires a local match of $688,000 and will result in a water rate increase of about $4.18 per month to cover debt service. The council discussed the bond's terms, repayment schedule, and the impact on residents' water rates, including prior rate increases and the challenge of building reserve funds. Additionally, the council adopted the 2026 meeting schedule, postponed an ambulance billing report presentation, discussed updates to council rules of procedure, and approved various council member appointments to boards and commissions. The meeting also included an open and public meetings training to ensure compliance with transparency laws.
