# September 17, 2026 City Council Meeting

The Brigham City Corporation held a city council meeting on September 17, 2026, primarily focused on discussing a proposed budget amendment to increase expenditures in the capital projects fund for the development of a new city-owned gymnasium facility. The council reviewed findings related to community needs for gym space, including input from local schools and community partners, and discussed the estimated project cost of $10 to $12 million. The meeting included a public hearing where residents expressed mixed opinions about the necessity, cost, and timing of the project, with concerns about ongoing maintenance costs and the impact on taxpayers. The council debated the procurement approach for architectural and engineering services, including whether to issue an RFP or proceed with a negotiated contract to avoid costly change orders. Ultimately, the council voted on a motion to deny the budget amendment, resulting in a tie that was broken by the mayor to deny the amendment. A subsequent motion to table the discussion for 60 days and schedule work sessions for further public engagement was approved, with plans to revisit the issue in future meetings. No other capital projects were affected by this budget amendment proposal.
