Twilla City to Install Illuminated "Welcome to Twilla City" Monument Sign at North Entrance
Shiloh Baker, the city recorder, presented Resolution 2026-37 for the manufacturer and installation of an illuminated "Welcome to Twilla City" monument sign at the north end of the city limits. The sign, estimated at $56,790, will feature illuminated wording with push-through plex for a 3D look and a raised flower bed. Yesco LLC, a state-approved contractor, will perform the work. This project fulfills a long-standing request from residents and officials to create a welcoming gateway, enhance city identity and pride, and beautify the community. A developer owning property at 3100 North and SR36 has agreed to allow the sign placement on their property and assist with bringing power to it. The council approved Resolution 2026-37 with a 5-0 vote.
Twilla City Council Approves $375,136 Insurance Coverage for FY2026-2027
Shiloh Baker, the city recorder, requested approval for the city's insurance coverage for the fiscal year 2026-2027 through the Utah Local Government's Trust. The total premium is $375,136, broken down into liability coverage ($124,079), automobile coverage ($119,771), and property coverage ($130,656). The city insures over 200 vehicles, 100 buildings, 100 pieces of equipment, 20 properties of equipment in the open, and three drones. The largest increase this year is in property coverage, which rose due to the trust bringing rates into alignment with current replacement costs after a long period without increases. The policy renews on July 1st. The council approved Resolution 2026-36 with a 5-0 vote.

Twilla City Releases Property Tax Impact Schedule, Showing 2.49% Increase for FY2026-2027
Shannon Whmer, the finance director, presented the property tax impact schedule for fiscal year 2026-2027, as required by new state law. The schedule aims to show residents the impact of city actions on the tax rate. The proposed property tax rate is 0.2527, a slight increase from the estimated 0.2476. To maintain revenue, the advertised tax increase has decreased from 4.48% to 2.49%. The schedule also updates median values: residential median value is $382,000 (down from $445,000), and business median value is $513,000. Adopting the proposed rate would result in an average annual tax increase of $13.24 ($1.10 per month) for a median-value home. This item was for public information, with no action taken. The tentative rate will be finalized in August after the truth and taxation process.
