Development News from the latest meeting
Lindon City Council - June 15, 2026
Published: Jun 15, 2026
Lynen Proposes Utility Fee Adjustments for FY2027, Including Recycling and Secondary Water Rate Hikes
The council discussed proposed fee schedule changes for fiscal year 2027, primarily related to utilities. The certified property tax rate, calculated by the county, is projected to increase total revenue to the city by $30,000, but is intended to be revenue-neutral as valuations increase. While garbage collection fees will not increase, recycling fees will rise by 5% ($0.26). Secondary metered water rates will increase by 4%. Sewer utility fees are not proposed for an increase at this time. The discussion also touched on the city's reliance on sales tax for operations and capital improvements, contrasting it with the stability of property tax.
Lynen City Council Reviews and Discusses Compensation Increases for Executive Municipal Officers
The council held a public hearing regarding compensation increases for executive municipal officers, including department heads and city engineers. The proposed plan includes a 2.4% cost of living adjustment (COLA) effective July 4th, and a potential merit increase of 2.6% effective January 2nd, resulting in a combined 5% increase. Twelve positions are recommended for movement to a higher pay range following a market adjustment study. Insurance premiums (medical and dental) saw a 5% increase. The compensation plan is included in the budget document.
Lynen City Assessed as Low Fraud Risk; Internal Audit Committee to be Formed
The council reviewed the fraud risk assessment for the fiscal year, conducted as required by the state auditor's office. Lynen scored in the 'low' potential risk category. The city plans to establish an internal audit committee, led by Chase, in the upcoming fiscal year with the goal of achieving a 'very low' risk score.
RDA Finalizes FY2027 Budget, Allocating Funds for Affordable Housing and City Services
The Lynen City Council held a public hearing and approved the final budget for the Lynen City Redevelopment Agency (RDA) for fiscal year 2027. The RDA budget includes funds for active districts, such as the 700 North CDA and Lynen Park CRA, which receive tax increment. These districts must contribute to affordable housing, a function now managed as a separate department within the RDA. The budget includes a fund balance for affordable housing, with projected ending balances for FY26 of $189,000. The RDA will pay Lynden City for administrative services as part of an inter-agency agreement.
New E-Motorcycle Regulations Highlighted Following Enforcement Efforts
During council reports, Chief Usual provided an update on criminal activity and proactive enforcement regarding e-motorcycles. New state legislation now requires e-motorcycles, like e-scooters, to be operated by individuals aged 16 and older with a motorcycle endorsement, license, registration, and insurance. The police department is addressing issues with younger riders (10-15 years old) exceeding speed limits and violating laws, particularly on the Murdoch Trail. New legislation allows law enforcement to seize these vehicles and educate parents. Helmet requirements for e-scooters have also been updated. The department emphasizes parental responsibility and is moving towards citations for repeat offenders due to reported injuries and property damage.
