Second fire station bond
Kaysville proposed issuing up to $16.5 million in general obligation bonds, secured by property taxes, to build and equip a second fire station. The council held the required hearing Oct. 1, 2026, then canceled the Nov. 3 bond election at an Oct. 7 special meeting after residents said no opposing argument had been published. Votes cast on the question will not count. The city expects the bond to return on the November 2027 ballot.

General obligation bonds of about $16,500,000 for a new fire station (Nov. 3 ballot)
Discussed
Mayor Tran said the hearing was required by Utah Code 11-14-318 and the proposition goes to voters Nov. 3. Speakers included a resident who supported a second station but said a less costly building was possible and urged saving instead of borrowing; another said the city's voter information lacked an opposing argument and pointed to existing debt, including about $13 million at the start of 2025, estimating combined debt near $40 million if the bond passes. Others asked whether the estimated $2 million in added annual staffing was the full operating cost, whether part of the roughly $7.58 million unrestricted fund balance could go toward it, and cited an estimated tax increase of about $306 a year for a $711,000 home. Mayor Tran said questions would be documented and answered. The council did not act on the bond at this meeting.
