The West Haven City Council addressed several municipal matters during a meeting held on August 19, 2026, according to meeting minutes published September 3.

Key agenda items included discussions regarding changes to the subdivision ordinance and a public hearing regarding amendments to the current 2026-2027 budget.

During a work session, council members discussed potential changes to the subdivision ordinance, specifically regarding the number of units allowed per access point and requirements for curb, gutter, and sidewalk installation. Councilmember Call suggested that requirements for curb, gutter, and sidewalk should only apply to developments exceeding a certain number of lots to avoid financial burdens on smaller single-family developments.

The council adopted Resolution 30-2026 to approve the budget amendments, with a directive for staff to continue seeking competitive pricing for a bucket truck.

The council also took action on several other resolutions, including awarding bids for improvements to a pond in the Poulter Family Open Space Preserve and adopting amendments to local transportation funding agreements with Weber County for projects at the 5100 W/4000 S and 5100 W/3300 S intersections.

The council also approved appointments for Corban Lunt to the Community Events Committee and Adrianna Moore to the Arts Council. The meeting concluded with a closed session to discuss real property and security systems.
