Tremont Center's 2025 report as posted carries 2024 figures, and the developer's entrance deadline moved two years
The report attached to Tremonton's July 2026 redevelopment resolution for tax year 2025 has tables ending in 2024 and a June 2025 signature. Staff told the board the figures had been updated. In November 2025 the board gave the Tremont Center developer two more years to build a Main Street entrance.
Continuing story: Auditing Tremonton
On July 7, 2026, Tremonton's redevelopment agency board adopted Resolution RDA 26-06. It adopts the Tremont Center agency report for the 2025 tax increment year. Board members Kristie Bowcutt, Beau Lewis, Sharri Oyler and Blair Westergard voted yes. Brent Jex was absent. [1]
The report attached in the posted packet carries historical tables that end with tax year 2024. It describes receipts before Dec. 31, 2024. It is signed by Bill Cobabe as executive director and dated June 17, 2025. [2]
On June 17, 2025, the board adopted Resolution RDA 25-03, the report for the 2024 tax increment year. [3]
What staff said
At the July 7 meeting, Zoning Administrator ChrisDean Epling said he used the previous two years' reports as a starting point, found and made corrections, and updated all the figures using county information, according to the minutes. [1]
The minutes say the report was due July 1 and that the state granted an extension because of technical problems with its website. They do not record any dollar figures from the report. [1]
The entrance deadline
Under the 2019 agreement, RDA 19-03, the developer must build a second Tremont Center entrance from Main Street aligned with 600 West. The resolution says the city bought three Main Street homes in 2019 for the project, treated as primary improvements. [4]
Section 3.6 of that agreement sets consequences if the entrance is not built within six years after the homes are deeded to the developer. On Nov. 18, 2025, the board adopted RDA 25-09, extending that period to eight years. It cited the two-year extension of tax increment collection the agency adopted in 2020. [4]
Board members Wes Estep, Beau Lewis, Bret Rohde and Blair Westergard voted yes. Brandon Vonk was absent. [5]
Community Development Director Jeff Seedall told the board that penalties had been set to begin in 2026 and would now begin in 2028, according to the minutes. He said the developer had missed the state transportation department's paving schedule, and that the extension does not change the compensation portions of the agreement. He said he expected the entrance to be paved "this April." [5]
