POLICY MEETING CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Pro Tem Peterson OPENING CEREMONY: Pledge of Allegiance Solemn Moment of Reflection Council Member Thompson APPROVAL OF MINUTES: April 28, 2026 - Work Meeting May 12, 2026 - Work Meeting May 12, 2025 - Policy Meeting PUBLIC HEARING: 1. PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE FISCAL YEAR 2027 TENTATIVE BUDGET, BEGINNING JULY 1, 2026 AND ENDING JUNE 30, 2027 BACKGROUND: In accordance with Utah Code Annotated § 10-6-111, the budget officer is to prepare and file with the governing body, a tentative budget for each fund for which a budget is required containing the estimates of expenditures submitted by department heads and a supplementary estimate of all capital projects which each department head believes should be undertaken within the next three succeeding years. Major funds include (a) the general fund, (b) special revenue funds, (c) debt service funds, (d) capital project funds, (e) proprietary funds, and any other fund or funds deemed significant. The budget for each fund shall contain estimates of all anticipated revenues and all appropriations for expenditures. With Truth in Taxation, the final budget needs approval before September 1. RECOMMENDATION: Receive public comment. SCHEDULED ITEMS: 2. OPEN COMMENT PERIOD The Open Comment Period provides an opportunity to address the Mayor and City Council regarding concerns or ideas on any topic relevant to city business. To be considerate of everyone at this meeting, public comment will be limited to three minutes per person. Participants are to state their names for the record. Comments, which cannot be made within these limits, should be submitted in writing to the City Recorder at nancy.dean@clearfieldcityut.gov. The Mayor and City Council encourage civil discourse for everyone who participates in the meeting. 3. THE BUDGET OFFICER INTENDS TO STATE THAT THE FISCAL YEAR 2027 TENTATIVE BUDGET, BEGINNING JULY 1, 2026 AND ENDING JUNE 30, 2027, INCLUDES A PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX RATE INCREASE BACKGROUND: Utah Code Annotated § 59-2-919(4)(ii) requires a taxing entity to include a separate item notifying the public that an executive officer or budget officer of the taxing entity intends to state in the public meeting that the tentative budget includes a proposed tax rate increase. RECOMMENDATION: Proceed to the next item on the agenda to allow the budget officer to make the statement. 4. STATEMENT OF THE BUDGET OFFICER THAT THE FISCAL YEAR 2027 TENTATIVE BUDGET, BEGINNING JULY 1, 2026 AND ENDING JUNE 30, 2027, INCLUDES A PROPERTY TAX RATE INCREASE RECOMMENDATION: The governing body to hear the statement presented by the budget officer. 5. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION ON THE PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE (PTIS) BACKGROUND: Utah Code Annotated § 59-2-919(4) requires the City to present a proposed property tax impact schedule as defined in Utah Code Annotated § 59-2-924 as a separate item on the agenda to clearly communicate to the public for what the additional property tax will pay. For the FY27 Budget, staff recommends that Clearfield's property tax be increased by approximately $236,500-an approximate 6.7% increase. The PTIS provides additional explanation for the specific items that will be tied to this additional property tax revenue. Important context is that for the FY26 Budget, the Clearfield City Council followed the truth-in-taxation process then in place to increase the property tax by about $196,000. In September 2025, the Utah State Tax Commission rejected the tax increase, based on a technicality, and given that a new provision in the law removed the Commission's discretion on whether or not to approve a tax increase. Therefore, the $236,500 for FY27 is inclusive of (not in addition to) the $196,000 from FY26. Moreover, the tax increase is needed in order to maintain a status quo budget. In other words, service levels are not being enhanced. Rather, without the additional revenue, service levels would decline. This is due to slower growth in sales tax revenue and the slowdown in development-related activity. RECOMMENDATION: Proceed to the next agenda item. 6. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 2026R-16 ACKNOWLEDGING THE BUDGET OFFICER STATED IN A PUBLIC MEETING THAT THE FISCAL YEAR 2027 TENTATIVE BUDGET INCLUDES A PROPOSED TAX INCREASE AND THE BUDGET OFFICER ALSO PRESENTED A PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX IMPACT SCHEDULE RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 2026R-16 acknowledging the budget officer stated in a public meeting that the Fiscal Year 2027 Tentative Budget includes a proposed tax increase and the budget officer also presented a proposed Property Tax Impact Schedule and authorize the Mayor's signature to any necessary documents. 7. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 2026R-15 AUTHORIZING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR INDIGENT DEFENSE SERVICES WITH SKEEN & ASSOCIATES BACKGROUND: The City is required to provide a public defender in its Justice Court to all individuals who cannot afford an attorney. Skeen & Associates has been providing the services to the City since 2016 without any changes to the 'Fees for Legal Services.' This amendment increases slightly the 'Fees for Legal Services.' RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution 2026R-15 authorizing the First Amendment to the agreement for Indigent Defense Services with Skeen & Associates and authorize the Mayor's signature to any necessary documents. 8. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 2026-09 DISSOLVING RDA 8 AND ADDRESSING THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE REMAINING TAX INCREMENT FUNDS BACKGROUND: Redevelopment Project Area #8 was created in January 1991 with 165 parcels. The project area expired as of December of 2025 and no further tax increment funding will be collected. There is a remaining balance of tax increment funds that are required to be distributed within five years of the expiration date. RECOMMENDATION: Approve Ordinance 2026-09 dissolving RDA 8 and addressing the distribution of the remaining tax increment funds and authorize the Mayor's signature to any necessary documents.
