City Council - 8/11/2026

The Clearfield City Council held a meeting on August 11, 2026, focusing extensively on budgetary and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of the fiscal year 2027 final budget and the setting of the city's 2026 property tax rate at 0.001253, which is expected to generate a 6.59% increase in property tax revenue. The council reviewed detailed budget allocations, including $4.3 million in new capital expenditures for water, sewer, and storm projects, and prioritized public safety and street maintenance. They also approved a property tax impact schedule outlining specific funding uses such as facility maintenance, police equipment, street repairs, and park improvements. Additionally, the council considered and approved an ordinance amending the downtown form-based code to remove multifamily residential as a permitted building type on secondary streets within the urban core commercial zone, aiming to preserve commercial and mixed-use redevelopment opportunities. Motions to approve the budget, tax rate, and zoning amendment passed with majority votes. Other agenda items included minor amendments to council rules and planning commission bylaws, as well as community updates and acknowledgments of ongoing city projects and partnerships.
