Youth Council reinstatement proposal
Discussed
A USU student representing the College Community Engagement Council asked the council to reinstate a citywide Logan City Youth Council as an advisory body with a part-time Youth Engagement Coordinator and a small budget increase of about $500, under a four-year plan. Members expressed tentative support, identified staffing structure as the key issue and directed follow-up research with other cities. No vote was taken.

CDBG annual action plan, program year 2026, Resolution 26-10 (public hearing)
Approved · 4-0
The council adopted the plan, with about $200,000 for 88 accessibility ramps, just over $80,000 for community needs such as bus stop murals and senior nutrition, about $130,000 for land acquisition, just under $30,000 for Sunshine Terrace rehabilitation and just over $100,000 for administration.

Item A2 · General plan
Logan 2045 General Plan, Resolution 26-09 (public hearing)
Continued · 4-0
After about 16 months of work and more than 300 survey responses, the council continued the plan to May 5 with no further hearing. Planning Commission revisions added language on the Logan River system, dark-sky design, summer tourism and seasonal population, recreation and senior centers, and animal services. For the 400 North corridor, Director Russ Holley said about 20 to 30 units per acre would likely encourage redevelopment and an overlay could address design; the council expressed support for the overlay option. Simmonds supported summer tourism language in general terms; Lee-Koven supported the dark-sky language while questioning a summer tourism goal. Council Member López relayed a resident email on Little Logan River language and asked the city attorney to review. Kristie Cooley supported a change from commercial to open space in her neighborhood.
Item A3 · Budget
Lloyd Estates financial assurance, Resolution 26-11 (public hearing)
Approved · 4-0
The council appropriated $200,000 in financial assurance called from the developer, to pay contractors and some engineering support given a vacant engineer position. City Engineer Darren Farar said the money will address the retention basin first and minor items like chipped concrete may not be finished if funds run short. Council Member Simmonds said homeowners should not receive less than expected, and Council Member López said delays are affecting mortgage qualification.

What residents said
Water projects and fault riskWater-wise landscapingFourth North corridor density
Autumn Mathews of the Cache Water District promoted a half-price grass reseed program and a state landscape incentive program that would require a city water-wise ordinance. Susanne Janecke opposed both water projects, citing geotechnical risks including a pipeline crossing near the East Cache Fault and the diversion of Logan River flows. Nicole Folland described a free senior living resource guide.
