From April 29, 2021 to September 22, 2026. 28 votes are marked not recorded because the minutes' attendance and tally don't account for every member. A yes is counted only when everyone present is accounted for in the tally. Motions count once per item, so moving a consent agenda counts for each item on it.

In our reporting

• Clark Taylor voted on five Doug Smith dealership items. The minutes record his client disclosure at two. Taylor made the motion for Doug Smith Auto's $2 million sales-tax incentive in 2021. He told the council in December 2022 and January 2023 that Doug Smith was his client. The firm he now works for lists Doug Smith as a client.
• Ryan Hunter attended SIRQ's Fire Station 52 bid meeting, then voted on station items as a council member except the price Hunter's disclosure form lists SIRQ Construction as his employer and under owner/officer. He seconded the station land purchase and moved its plat, and abstained on SIRQ's $9.1 million price. The city paid SIRQ $7.2 million in fiscal 2023 and 2024.
• WPA Architecture hired to design American Fork's $40 million public works complex A five-member committee interviewed the two top-scoring of four firms and unanimously recommended WPA, whose fee was lower. The council approved the award 3-0. A construction manager is still to be chosen.
• On the record: how American Fork officials handled votes touching their ties Minutes show Ryan Hunter abstained on the $9.1 million SIRQ fire station price, Clark Taylor disclosed a client and voted, and the mayor stepped back from the Chamber's Steel Days deal.
• American Fork Citizen reviews officials' disclosures on contracts and ties The local paper found a city landscaping contract held by the mayor's company went 13 years without a rebid, and that two council members list ties to the firm that built the newest fire station.
