City administrator update (work session)
Discussed
Staff said LYRB would begin bonding around July for Airport Road expansion from Overland to Wride Memorial Highway if funded in the fiscal 2022 budget, and that the city is working with Unified Fire Authority on a third fire station, possibly a joint public safety building. The Airport Road bid award was on that evening's agenda with completion expected by end of October.

Fiscal year 2021-2022 budget and certified tax rate
Approved · 4-0
Finance Director Kimberly Ruesch said the budget adds more than $30 million in capital infrastructure, including Airport Road Phase Two, and about 12.5 new full-time positions. The certified tax rate declined; property tax revenue is about $1.9 million against $1.7 million last year, with growth adding about $200,000. Jerome said the rate has decreased for four years and is the lowest in city history. Curtis objected to the Wasatch Wing and Clay Road project; Steve Mumford said it is excluded and would need a separate county agreement and council approval. No one spoke at the hearing.
