    Discussed

    CDBG Coordinator Amanda Pearce presented expected federal funding of about $550,000 for July 2026 to June 2027, allocated to ADA ramps ($198,005), land acquisition by the Community Development Corporation of Utah ($130,000), Sunshine Terrace rehabilitation ($29,215), bus stop shelter murals ($20,000), senior center nutrition ($62,780) and administration and planning ($110,000).

  4. Item 8b · General plan

    Workshop: Logan 2045 General Plan, Resolution 26-09

    Discussed

    Community Development Director Russ Holley and consultant Cody Ferguson of Houseal Lavigne Associates described a 12-chapter plan with a future land use map of 10 districts, built on 15 workshops and about 830 engagement points, which projects population could nearly double by 2045. Top issues were affordable housing, walkability, traffic, water, economic opportunity and open space. On the 400 North corridor, which is about 98 percent rentals, options were higher density and mixed use, intensity at key intersections, or a corridor overlay. Chair Johnson and Council Member Simmonds favored the overlay option and Simmonds asked for more study before decisions that last 30 to 40 years. Council Member Lee-Koven stressed the map does not grant development rights. The Planning Commission made recommendations including recreation and senior center language and dark-sky policies. Action was set for April 21.

  5. Item 8c · Budget

    Workshop: Lloyd Estates financial assurance, Resolution 26-11

    Discussed

    Finance Director Richard Anderson previewed appropriating $200,000 in financial assurance funds called from the developer of the Lloyd Estates Subdivision, which did not complete required improvements, chiefly a stormwater detention basin. The bond is nearing expiration and may not cover the full cost. Staff called it the first such case in many years.
