St. George publishes real background on its consent items — the asphalt award names the tonnage, the bid count and the winning figure — which is better documentation than most cities in this set provide anywhere. The structure still undercuts it: a $1.37 million commodity purchase, a land acquisition, two change orders and an engineering agreement are all set to pass in one motion, and the agenda separately states that public input "shall not be allowed on any agenda item or pending land use application," so the eight land-use items proceed with no comment period beyond the general one.
*Procedural-transparency score grounded in the agenda as published: 27 listed item(s) — 1 public hearing(s), 14 on consent, 8 land-use/ordinance, 1 other action, 3 presentation(s).*
