The Trenton Town Council is scheduled to hold a meeting on November 16, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. at the Trenton Town Hall. The meeting agenda includes a public hearing focused on Community Development Block Grant information.
According to an October 30 notice, the meeting will be held at 17 East Main, Trenton, Utah. The agenda includes the approval of minutes from October 6th, 2026, and November 10th, 2026, as well as the approval of October checks. Mayor Erick Simmonds is scheduled to call the meeting to order.
A public hearing regarding the Community Development Block Grant program is scheduled to provide citizens with information about the program and allow for discussion regarding possible applications for the 2026 funding cycle. The Bear River Association of Governments, which Trenton is a member of, expects to receive approximately $850,000 in this new program year. The grant money must be spent on projects that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons. In the past, Trenton received $41,807.00 in grants for cemetery road improvements.
The council will also consider several other items, including discussion and possible action to authorize Mayor Erick Simmonds to sign final deeds and transfer documents for a land trade agreement with West Cache Irrigation Company. Other topics on the agenda include an employee official dress policy, an IADU ordinance, and discussion regarding a Temporary Dwelling Unit Ordinance. Updates are also scheduled from councilmembers regarding parks, recreation, cemetery, roads, planning and zoning, fire department, and water.
The Community Development Block Grant program includes eligible activities such as the construction of public works and facilities like water and sewer lines or fire stations. It also covers the acquisition of real property and public services such as food banks or homeless shelters. The council may vote to enter executive session pursuant to Utah Code 52-4-205.
The meeting is scheduled for November 16, 2026. Individuals requiring special accommodations should notify Macall Smith at 435-563-9929 at least 24 hours before the meeting.
