Continuing story: Auditing Kaysville
Kaysville staff recommended that the City Council select AJC Architects for initial work on the city's historic library building, under an agreement not to exceed $55,000, according to the Oct. 15, 2026 council packet. [1]
The item, "Award of a Contract to AJC Architects for Architectural Services for the Library Renovation," was listed as an action item on the Oct. 15 agenda. The Ledger has not confirmed the outcome. [2]
The selection
The staff report says the city received 15 statements of qualifications, interviewed the top three firms and selected AJC Architects as the preferred firm. Firms were scored on relevant experience (30%), team (25%), technical approach (25%), public-sector experience (15%) and schedule (5%). [1]
The initial work includes reviewing a Phase 1 report, evaluating the building and developing design options, priorities, a pro forma analysis and preliminary cost information. Later phases may include design, public engagement, construction documents, bidding and construction administration. [1]
The draft resolution
The draft resolution authorizes the city manager to execute the agreement once it is in a form acceptable to the city manager and city attorney and AJC has signed it. [1]
Its heading describes a resolution authorizing an agreement with AJC Architects for work on the historic library building, and its preamble refers to the City Council. Its adoption line reads "PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Redevelopment Agency of Kaysville, Utah, this 15th day of October, 2026." [1]
This story is based on a staff report and draft resolution. The $55,000 covers initial services only; it is not a design or construction budget. The packet does not establish whether the adoption-line wording was changed before a vote.
