11-25-2025 Bountiful City Council Regular Session

The Bountiful City Council held a regular session on November 25, 2025, which included a variety of community and civic discussions. Key procurement-related activities included the approval of a $30,436 purchase for transformers from Western United, and the authorization of agreements related to the I-15 reconstruction project, with anticipated costs exceeding initial budget estimates but reimbursed by the state. The council also approved a $150,000 funding allocation for the completion of the Vmont well rehabilitation project. Additionally, the council discussed the proposed 5% property tax increase by the South Davis Recreation District, hearing public comments both in support and opposition, and expressed general support for the increase to maintain financial health of the district. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to reviewing and providing direction on the draft general plan "Bountiful by Design," including land use, transportation, and water resource elements, with council members suggesting modifications to neighborhood center overlays, zoning designations, and active transportation language. The council also approved a contract with Civic Plus for a website redesign and hosting to improve public access to city information. The meeting concluded without a vote on the general plan, with plans to continue the discussion in future sessions.
