The Corinne City Council held a regular session on Sept. 15, 2026, where Mayor Shane Baton presided over discussions regarding city capital plans and park facilities. The meeting included reports from the planning commission and the fire department.
During the session, the council approved the purchase of two refurbished LUCAS CPR units for the fire department at a cost of $11,793.04 each. This decision followed a motion by Karen Caldwell and a second from Tom Little, with the motion carrying via a vote from Tausha Job, Karen Caldwell, Tom Little, Joshua Morris, and Krista Hardman.
Regarding city parks, Krista Hardman reported that bathrooms have experienced several instances of vandalism this summer. The council discussed issues including a lack of soap, paper towels, and toilet paper in the facilities. To address these concerns, Hardman is ordering hand sanitizer for installation outside each park restroom. The council also discussed hiring cleaning staff and implementing code-protected locks. Additionally, the council selected a new, sturdier design for dog waste stations, which will be installed once a new pet mayor is selected.
The council reviewed the city's Capital Plan, noting that projects such as the Frisbee Golf course, a fire department tender, and a Side x Side have been accomplished. Other items, including fire department exit fans and a transportation plan, are currently in progress.
In discussions regarding infrastructure, Mayor Baton noted that a gravel road leading past the sewer ponds to the river hose is owned by Lyle Clarks rather than the city. A potential easement of 60 feet was discussed if the city vacates platted roads by the boat ramp, though this matter requires further review by engineers and legal counsel. Regarding road maintenance, Mayor Baton stated that repaving is expected to occur before the asphalt plant closes at the end of November.
The fire department reported responding to 19 calls in August, with 17 occurring outside city limits and two occurring inside. Meanwhile, the planning commission received a report from Michael B. regarding Standard Wellness, which is seeking information on requirements to make their facility permanent. Cody Illum from Box Elder County also provided training on the permitting process during the meeting.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn by Tom Little, seconded by Joshua Morris, and carried by the council members.
The council also addressed inquiries regarding the garbage company and the status of the county ambulance. Mayor Baton stated that the garbage company will be present at the next meeting and noted that the city is currently under contract with Econo Waste until January. Regarding the county ambulance, the Mayor stated the city has submitted its information and is waiting on other cities to do the same.
