City Council. May 19, 2026

The Highland City Council meeting on May 19, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved awarding the 2026 road maintenance project to Geneva Rock and Hullbrook Asphalt with a combined contract value of approximately $961,868. They also approved a bid award for culinary tank lids, a capital improvement project aimed at protecting water tanks, and authorized a memorandum of agreement with Central Utah Water Conservancy District for a water conservation communication tool, Yapify, with a city cost of about $7,500 annually. Additionally, the council renewed the solid waste service agreement with Waste Management for one year, acknowledging upcoming fee increases. The council discussed potential funding support for a neighborhood entrance renovation project, with bids received and fundraising efforts underway. They also deliberated on vendor fees for the Highland Fling event, considering reduced fees to attract more vendors. A significant portion of the meeting focused on secondary pressurized irrigation (PI) water metering, including rate structure options, conservation incentives, and public education plans, aiming for implementation in 2027. The council agreed to continue discussions on PI rates in a future July work session. Other topics included wildfire interface agreements, splash pad water use, and e-bike regulations, but these were less procurement-focused.
