During the May 5, 2026 meeting, the council was scheduled to consider Resolution 26-7 regarding the adoption of this tentative budget and the associated property tax impact schedule. The council also reviewed various ordinances and resolutions throughout the spring and summer of 2026. For instance, the May 19, 2026 agenda shows the council considered Ordinance 26-4, a development agreement with Steward Land Co. for a project involving 43 single-family detached dwellings on smaller lots at approximately 3925 West 4965 South. On that same May 19, 2026 agenda, the council also considered Resolution 26-11, which involved adopting a traffic calming program. In July 2026, the council was set to discuss Resolution 26-22, an interlocal agreement with the Weber School District for law enforcement services, according to the July 21, 2026 agenda. The council also addressed Resolution 26-21, which was a memorandum of understanding between Roy City Corporation and the Weber Fire District for temporary staffing assistance and operational crew exchange. Throughout 2026, the council's work included managing the city's fiscal health and zoning regulations. For example, the May 19, 2026 agenda lists the consideration of Ordinance 26-2, which sought to amend the General Plan from single-family residential to multi-family residential for a property at 2715 West 4800 South. The council also considered Ordinance 26-5 on May 19, 2026, regarding the annexation of a 3.96-acre parcel into the city. The council's deliberations on the Fiscal Year 2027 budget continued into August, with the August 11, 2026 agenda detailing a public hearing for Resolution 26-24. This resolution involved a proposed additional $2,807,745 in property tax to cover employee wages and revenue shortfalls, as stated in the August 11, 2026 agenda. The council's activities are a central part of Roy's governance, involving significant decisions on taxation, land use, and public safety agreements.
