# October 8, 2026 City Council Work Session

Brigham City Corporation City Council work session on October 8, 2026, focused on a proposed indoor recreation gym at Pioneer Park and a previously tabled FY 2026–27 budget amendment. Recreation Director Chris Horsley described the need for city-controlled gym space, citing reduced access to school facilities and impacts on recreation programs, and presented a preliminary facility concept. The discussion referenced a proposed $500,000 allocation from fund balance for a detailed bid package, with the project itself discussed as potentially costing about $12 million. No contract award or spending vote was taken at this work session.

Public comments were divided: supporters cited recreation access and community benefits, while opponents raised affordability, competing infrastructure needs, public access fees, and ongoing staffing and maintenance costs. Council members requested more information on operating costs, staffing, and a comparison with Farmington’s facility. The council planned another work session for October 29 at 6 p.m.; no procurement action was approved.
