Clearfield City Outlines Property Tax Impact for FY27 Budget
JJ presented the proposed property tax impact schedule for the FY27 budget, outlining a projected additional property tax revenue of $233,106, representing a 6.59% increase. This translates to an annual impact of $21.60 per month for the average residential owner (valued at $510,000) and $165.63 per month for the average commercial property (valued at $2,151,000). The funds are restricted in the general fund until the final budget adoption in August. The proposed allocations include $25,000 for facilities contracted services, $10,000 for petrol and investigations equipment, $60,000 for street maintenance activities, $75,000 for a slope mower and $50,000 for additional park maintenance, and $16,500 for the texting service. Councilmember Thompson clarified that the $21.60 impact is annual, not monthly.
Clearfield City Council Approves FY2026 Budget Amendments
The council reviewed and approved the proposed amendments to the fiscal year 2026 budget, which included utilizing $174,000 from the unrestricted fund balance. These funds are allocated for various purposes, including increased payroll for the Aquatic and Fitness Center, enhanced communication through texting services, and addressing a decade-old Utah Retirement System back pay issue. Additionally, grant funding was secured for Arts Center microphones, a transfer was made from RDA 10 for the 500 West project, and capital projects for the all-abilities park were amended. The council also noted the need for expenditure authority due to higher-than-expected claims and pending reimbursements. The public hearing for these amendments was closed without any public comments.
Clearfield City Council Adopts FY27 Interim Budget Property Tax Schedule
The council considered and approved Resolution 2026 R-18, which acknowledges a proposed tax rate exceeding the certified tax rate and adopts the final property tax impact schedule for Clearfield City's 2027 interim budget. This resolution signifies the city's commitment to the budget process, including the truth-in-taxation requirements. The approval was unanimous among the council members present.

The city council considered Resolution 2026R-10, approving a telecommunications franchise agreement with Connex Network LLC. Amy presented the agreement, explaining that Connex is an internet-only company that will use the city's right-of-ways to offer services. The agreement follows the Telecommunications Act of 1996, grants non-exclusive rights, and requires Connex to adhere to city ordinances. Representatives from Connex had previously explained their business model. The council discussed the agreement, and Councilmember Worth was excused due to a conflict. The resolution was approved unanimously after a motion and second.
Clearfield City Council Approves Fee Increases for Green Waste and Excavation Permits
The city council considered Ordinance 2026-10, which amends both green waste fees and excavation street cut permit fees. The ordinance was presented by Rich and Braden, covering adjustments to both areas. Following discussions and a public hearing where only one resident commented on the excavation fees, the council deliberated. Councilmember Thompson expressed reservations about the excavation fee increase due to insufficient data, ultimately voting against the ordinance. However, the ordinance passed with a 3-1 vote, with Councilmember Ratchford, Councilmember Worth, and Councilmember King voting in favor.
