Bob Lindley serves as a member of the Wellsville City Council, representing the municipality alongside Mayor Chad Lindley and fellow council members Angie Olsen, Denise Lindsay, Tom Maughan, and Carl Leatham. Residents can reach him via his official government email address, blindley@wellsvilleutah.gov, or by telephone at 435-881-4186.
As a member of the municipal governing body, Lindley is involved in the legislative and administrative oversight of the city. One such instance of council activity occurred during a public meeting scheduled for August 19, 2026, at 6:10 PM. According to a public notice and agenda issued by the city, this meeting was set to address various municipal concerns, including a discussion led by City Manager Scott Wells regarding the city's need for additional revenue. During this session, the Council was scheduled to receive public input and consider the possible adoption of resolution 2026-07. This specific resolution concerned increasing property tax revenue for Wellsville City for the 2026/2027 budget year.
The proposed tax increase discussed in the August 2026 meeting was expected to exceed the certified tax rate, resulting in an approximate $4,060 tax revenue increase, or roughly a 1.12% increase. The notice provided specific examples of how this would impact local residents and businesses. For instance, the tax on a $578,000 residence would increase from $254.96 to $257.50, representing a yearly increase of $2.54. Similarly, the tax on a $578,000 business would increase from $463.56 to $468.18, which is a yearly increase of $4.62. If the proposed budget were approved, the city would increase its property tax budgeted revenue by 1.04% above the previous year's budgeted revenue, excluding eligible new growth.
Beyond fiscal matters, the City Council oversees various city services and ordinances that impact the daily lives of Wellsville residents. These services include animal control, where the city maintains ordinances requiring that dogs be kept on the owner's property or on a leash when off the property. The city also manages winter maintenance, specifically snow removal and parking regulations. According to city documents, street parking is restricted from November 1 to March 31 to allow snow plows access to streets. Specifically, it is unlawful to park a motor vehicle on any street between 12:00 midnight and 8:00 A.M. during the period from November 1 to April 30. The city's snow removal program is designed to keep roadways safe and accessible, prioritizing school zones and main roadways during storms.
Residents encounter the work of the City Council through public meetings held at 75 East Main, Wellsville, UT 84339. These meetings serve as a venue for department reports, the City Manager's report, and public hearings where citizens can provide input on significant local issues, such as the proposed tax increases discussed in the 2026 agenda.
