Zoning Change Approved for Highland Drive Properties to Allow Residential Multi-Family Development

City Pursues Multiple Grants for Spring Lane Park, Boosting Funding and Capital Reserves
The city is actively pursuing grant funding for the Spring Lane Park project, with two applications submitted to the Desale County Zap Recreation Bond and the TRACT program [cite: 1216-1222]. Pursuing grants is a priority, especially since having matching funds and shovel-ready projects can improve eligibility [cite: 1220-1221]. The city's lease agreement with the Granite School District allows them to be considered for grants, despite not owning the property [cite: 1222-1228]. Securing grants will free up capital funds for other projects, such as the Highland Drive project [cite: 1234-1235].
City Council Approves Final Budgets and Sets Tax Rate for 2026-2027 Fiscal Year
The City Council adopted the final budget for fiscal year 2026-2027 for the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and the Local Building Authority (LBA) [cite: 10, 11, 22-43, 77-88]. Additionally, they approved Ordinance 2026-11, adopting the final budget for fiscal year 2026-2027 for the City Council [cite: 701-709]. The council also passed Ordinance 2026-08, amending the budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1st, 2025, and ending June 30th, 2026 [cite: 537-548]. A presentation detailed property tax information, showing an average home value increase in Holiday to $1,084,900 [cite: 577], with the property tax for an average home increasing from $754 to $764 [cite: 627]. Ordinance 2026-09 was adopted, determining the tax rate for the 2026-27 tax year at 0.001281 [cite: 661-670].
City Hall Renovation Progresses Amidst Structural Adjustments; Spring Lane Park Design Refined
The City Council discussed updates on the Holiday City Hall renovation project, noting that demolition is largely complete, but has stalled due to conflicts with seismic structural walls requiring relocation [cite: 915-923, 944-950]. A vestibule addition on the south side is under excavation, with footings and foundations to be installed soon [cite: 924-928]. Built-in cabinetry is being added to the contractor's scope of work [cite: 934-939]. The project completion date remains mid-September 2027 [cite: 931]. Separately, the Spring Lane Park project has a site plan incorporating elements from previous community engagement and council guidance [cite: 1059-1091]. Key features include a pavilion, restrooms, an aggregate trail, plaza space, a dog park, an all-ages playground, and pickleball courts [cite: 1062-1098]. Discussions are ongoing regarding turf vs. reseeding options for playfields and potential modifications to the plaza and restroom locations [cite: 1099-1125, 1157-1197]. The project has secured grant applications and is in a healthy budget space, with potential for additional funding [cite: 1016, 1018, 1216-1220].
City Initiates Search for New Police Chief Amidst Promotion of Current Chief
The City Council is proceeding with the hiring process for a new Chief of Police for Holiday [cite: 863].

The council anticipates a decision shortly after interviews [cite: 873]. Additionally, Chief Hoyle is being promoted to Assistant Chief of UPD, pending board ratification [cite: 858-860].
