The St. George City Council is scheduled to hold a work meeting on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. in the City Council Conference Room at St. George City Hall. The meeting will address several municipal topics, including a presentation from the Utah Food Bank and discussions regarding owner-occupied short-term rentals.
The meeting agenda includes discussions regarding proposed changes to the city code pertaining to animal control and a temporary zoning ordinance for blasting. The Council will also discuss the FY28 budget and receive updates from department directors. Additionally, the Council will hear reports from the Mayor, Councilmembers, and the City Manager, and may request a closed meeting to discuss litigation, security, property acquisition or sale, or the character and professional competence or physical and mental health of an individual.
Regarding short-term rentals, the Council will discuss various factors such as owner-occupancy requirements, the portion of a home that can be rented, parking requirements, and whether to limit the number of permits or add buffers. The discussion will consider whether to require a primary residence or owner presence and whether rentals are limited to basements, second stories, or individual rooms.
The FY28 budget process includes a series of upcoming milestones. The City Council survey is scheduled to remain open until Thursday, November 12, 2026. Following this, department objectives are due to the budget on January 8, 2027, and a goals session with the City Council is scheduled for February 4, 2027. The budget is expected to be presented to the City Council on May 6, 2027, with a tentative adoption date of May 27, 2027, and final adoption scheduled for June 17, 2027.
