Cedar City Council recap — September 23, 2026

What the Cedar City Council took up on September 23, 2026

Brief summary of the September 23, 2026 Cedar City Council meeting:

• Downtown Harvest Decorating, Councilmember Phillips — presentation.
• Discussion about installing streetlights at 100 W Coal Creek and 200 W Coal Creek — presentation.
• Presentation of the recent Utah Wellbeing Survey — presentation.
• Police Department re-accreditation presentation — presentation.
• Approve minutes dated September 2 and 9, 2026 — consent.
• Ratify bills dated September 10, 2026 — consent.
• Appointment of Pam Branin, Tim Marriott, Craig Corry and Cleave Weaver to the Cedar City Cares Committee — consent.
• Purchase of a roll off dumpster truck in the amount of $218,005 — consent.
• Installation of a 4-way stop at the intersection of Cody Drive and Legacy Park Ave — consent.
• Resolution approving budget amendments for the 2026-2027 fiscal year — action.
• Resolution adopting the Cedar City Fund Balance and Reserve Policy — action.

The two financial items are handled separately from the routine business: the budget amendments, whose public hearing was listed on the September 16 work meeting agenda, and the new Fund Balance and Reserve Policy each get their own resolution and their own vote. Neither is published with a number, so the agenda does not say how much the budget is being changed by or what reserve level the policy sets. The consent calendar prints the $218,005 price of the roll off dumpster truck, which is the largest stated figure on the agenda, and bundles it with four appointments to the Cedar City Cares committee, whose creation was on the September 9 action agenda, and a new 4-way stop at Cody Drive and Legacy Park Ave. Four presentations open the meeting under the administration agenda. A closed session on reasonably imminent litigation follows public comment and is not counted here.

*Procedural-transparency score grounded in the agenda as published: 11 listed item(s) — 0 public hearing(s), 5 on consent, 0 land-use/ordinance, 2 other action, 4 presentation(s).*
