The Syracuse City Council completed several significant actions during its business meeting on October 13, 2026. The meeting included decisions regarding personnel appointments, public safety agreements, and municipal budget amendments.
During the October 13 meeting, the council administered the Oath of Office to Syracuse Youth Court members and appointed Evan Brown to the Disaster Preparedness Committee. In matters of public safety, the council authorized an Intercounty Automatic Aid Fire Agreement to facilitate cooperation between fire departments for mutual aid. Additionally, officials updated city policy to allow for the consideration of financial hardship regarding ambulance service billing and declared a 2011 Kenworth Fire Tender as surplus property, noting a new water tender will enter service in its place.
The council addressed municipal code and finance through several measures. Amendments to City Code 11.20.075 regarding Park and Ride lot regulations were approved, allowing city administration to authorize extended parking for the UTA Vanpool for more than 48 consecutive hours. In administration and finance, the council authorized a Memorandum of Understanding with Davis County regarding Costco sales tax distributions, updated the wage scale for Fiscal Year 2027, and amended the Fiscal Year 2027 budget to include capital project carryovers, revisions, and operational changes. The council also adopted an ACH Fraud Prevention and Fraud Monitoring Policy.
Real estate transactions were also addressed as the City Council sold approximately 1.526 acres of city-owned property located at 1862 W. 1700 S. to the Syracuse City Redevelopment Agency (RDA). The RDA subsequently approved the sale of that property to CT Eatz Holdings, LLC, along with a property tax rebate.
The next City Council meetings are scheduled for October 27, 2026, November 10, 2026, and November 24, 2026, at 6 PM at City Hall. Residents may attend these meetings in person, via Zoom, or by watching on YouTube.
