# November 9, 2026 Kearns City Council Meeting

The November 9, 2026 Kearns City Council meeting included a procurement-related discussion of a Wasatch Front Regional Council Transportation and Land Use Connections grant opportunity for a multi-jurisdictional 6200 South trail feasibility study. The estimated project cost was about $200,000, with approximately $170,000 requested from WFRC and a $30,000 local match to be divided among participating jurisdictions. Council members supported submitting a non-binding letter of intent, while requesting further clarification on partner participation, staff responsibilities, and the eventual cost split before any binding financial commitment or full application. The Kearns Improvement District reported completing a waterline upgrade near Kearns Junior High, upsizing the line from six to twelve inches to improve fire-flow capacity; the project was funded through an EPA-administered community grant program. No contract awards or purchasing approvals were identified. The council also scheduled a virtual special meeting for November 16 to consider fee-schedule amendments needed to enable winter parking enforcement citations.

Other actions included approving the 2027 council meeting schedule and an ordinance restating city code, with Title 11 (parking) deferred for further staff review. The council also considered removing a construction-standards chapter on overpressure areas after staff said the zones no longer applied within Kearns, and heard proposed future funding ideas from Kerns Arts, including grants and possible arts funding tied to capital projects; the group made no funding request. The city manager said the city is reviewing consultant contracts and scopes of work as part of its planning and transparency efforts.
