The White City Council convened on Aug. 6, 2026, to address a public hearing regarding the proposed FY2027 municipal fee schedule and to deliberate on several legislative updates, including amendments to the city's wildland urban interface code. The meeting, held at the White City Water Improvement District, followed a previous session held on July 2, 2026, which had addressed topics such as fireworks regulations and short-term rental policies.
Municipal Fee and Public Hearing
A central component of the Aug. 6 meeting was a scheduled public hearing to receive community input on the proposed FY2027 White City Municipal Fee Schedule. According to the meeting agenda, city planner Justin Smith was designated to present the proposal for public comment. The council planned to consider Resolution No. 2026-R-08-01 to adopt the new fee schedule following this public discourse.
Legislative and Code Amendments
The council also addressed several legislative amendments through various ordinances. One key item involved Ordinance No. 2026-O-04, which seeks to amend Section 15.08.011 of the White City Code. This amendment would replace the existing 2006 Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code with the more recent 2024 International Wildland Urban Interface Code, as presented by attorney Cameron Platt.
Additionally, the council held discussions regarding Ordinance No. 2026-O-05. This ordinance is intended to enact a tie-breaking procedure as outlined in Utah Code Ann. §20A-1-510(3)(e)(i) and (ii), according to the city's published agenda.
Stormwater and Regional Cooperation
Infrastructure and interlocal cooperation were also on the table for the council. The agenda included a discussion and possible action regarding an interlocal cooperation agreement between Sandy City and White City. This agreement, presented by engineer Richard Stephens, would focus on stormwater improvements within the municipality.
Administrative and Youth Council Discussions
The workshop portion of the Aug. 6 meeting included several discussions aimed at clarifying city regulations and administrative functions. Attorney Cameron Platt led discussions on Title 2 code amendments and continued conversations regarding building codes for carports. The council also provided an overview of the Youth Council and addressed the selection process for filling a vacant council seat.
Background on July Proceedings
The Aug. 6 session built upon discussions held during the council's July 2, 2026, meeting. During that earlier meeting, Mayor Allan Perry and the council had addressed various municipal concerns, including a discussion on fireworks for the 2026 season and the introduction of Ben Gustafson as the city's Emergency Planner.
That July meeting also included discussions on door-to-door sales regulations, accessory structures, freestanding carports, and short-term rental regulations. The council also moved to appoint members to the Big Bear Park Master Plan Committee through Resolution No. 2026-07-01 during that session.
White City Governance Structure
The White City Council is composed of a mayor and four council members elected at-large. Current council members include Mayor Allan Perry, Tyler Huish, Linda Price, Greg Shelton, and Neil Mahoney. The council operates alongside the White City Planning Commission, a five-member volunteer citizen advisory body that includes members Christopher Spagnuolo, Christy Seiger-Webster, Lavon Huntsman, Maiersperger, Henry Nahalewski, and Ian Hazel.
Departmental and Council Reports
The council's business meeting also included routine reports from the Unified Fire Authority and the Unified Police Department. Chief Ken Aldridge provided the fire authority report, while Detective Josh Smith and Chief April Morse provided updates regarding the police department. The meeting concluded with reports from various council members regarding their respective municipal service districts and community councils.
