CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 2025-06-02 ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 WHITE CITY BUDGET BEGINNING ON JULY 1, 2025 AND ENDING JUNE 30, 2026 Mayor Flint said a public hearing regarding the final FY2026 budget was held at the last meeting. This approval of the budget was tabled until this meeting to get further clarification on budget actuals. Dave Sanderson said last week he left a little early and didn’t realize there would be questions on the budget. He said the questions were regarding the 2025 actuals was old information from the MSD. He said when the MSD prepared the budget, they used the actuals from that date. He said he updated that column on the budget document to show actuals as of 4/30/2025, which is the latest information he has received from the MSD. Rori Andreason said the tentative budget was approved in May and the final budget has not changed. Daniel Hoffman, Accountant, said the MET taxes are new taxes. When they receive those taxes, there is usually a one-to-two-month delay. They post them once they receive the information. Council Member Tyler Huish asked several questions regarding line items in the budget. He asked why revenue was not showing for code enforcement. He said it looked like the city was not going to enforce the codes. Paul Ashton said the legislature has now said if you can’t show that you actually incur those costs, you cannot budget for them. Anything that comes as fees must be tied to something. White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 1 Rather than collecting money, the city just wants the individual to comply. So in most cases, the fee is waived if the property owner will comply with the code. Dave Sanderson said minor adjustments can be made throughout the year as needed. He said the State Auditor requires cities to budget conservatively. Council Member Huish said the website costs were higher than needed, but he agreed with budgeting more for possible updates. Dave Sanderson said he did not anticipate the line-item discussion since it was discussed a month ago. Council Member Huish said the anxiety came when the actuals were not accurate, so he decided to go through every line item with a fine-tooth comb. Council Member Shelton, seconded by Council Member Huish, motioned approve Resolution No. 2025-06-02 Adopting the Fiscal Year 2026 White City Budget beginning on July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026. The motion passed by unanimous vote. 2. CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 2025-06-03 SETTING THE RATE OF TAX FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2025 AND LEVYING TAXES UPON ALL REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY WITHIN THE CORPORATE BOUNDARIES OF WHITE CITY, UTAH Paul Ashton said the city is part of UPD and SLVLESA. Under the interlocal agreement the city has agreed that if there is a shortfall for what is owed by White City for policing, the city has to make up that difference. Most of the cities were given taxing power of real property if they had to meet that obligation. Thus far it appears there will be sufficient funds in SLVLESA to pay the bills. There has not been a final reckoning with the Salt Lake County Sheriff and what will be owed by them by SLVLESA. Hopefully it will come in within the revenue stream, which will be discussed within the coming month. Based on what we have, he recommended the city continue with the position of having zero property tax. The proposed resolution sets a property tax of zero. Council Member Price, seconded by Council Member Shelton, motioned to adopt Resolution 2025-06-03 setting the rate of tax of zero for Calendar Year 2025 Levying taxes upon all real and personal property within the corporate boundaries of White City, Utah. The motion passed by unanimous vote. 3. Adjourn White City Council Meeting Minutes – Page 2  Council Member Shelton, seconded by Council Member Price, motioned to adjourn.
