The Council's September 22 formal meeting at the Utah State Fairpark was set to hold hearings on a Northpoint rezone from AG-2 to M1-A, Budget Amendment No. 1 for fiscal 2026-27, utility impact fees and two police grant applications, and to consider action on the Silverside Deli liquor proximity waiver, the Chadwick Street alley vacation and the 22-townhome rezone at 1990 and 2002 South 500 East. No minutes are posted, so every outcome is pending.
