The Springdale Town Council held a regular meeting on Oct. 14, 2026, to discuss several municipal items, including a data center and the selection of a new town engineer. The meeting took place at the Canyon Community Center located at 126 Lion Boulevard.
During the meeting, the council addressed a recommendation from the Town Engineer Selection Committee to appoint Jones and DeMille Engineering as the new Town Engineer. The selection followed a Request for Proposals issued in August that resulted in bids from two firms: Jones and DeMille Engineering and Rosenberg Associates. The committee reviewed proposals and conducted interviews before making its recommendation. If the appointment is finalized, staff will negotiate contract terms for review in a November meeting.
Other agenda items included reports from various departments. The Fire Board reported that Chief Decker expects approximately $3 million in annual sales tax revenue, which could allow for a reduction in property tax revenues by about $1.1 million. Additionally, the board noted that the construction of the new Sand Hollow Fire Station was awarded to SIRQ with a bid approximately $2 million lower than the original estimate. Design work for a new Kolob Fire Station is scheduled to begin in March 2027.
The Public Works Department provided updates on infrastructure following recent storms. While roads are mostly back to normal, crews have been working to repair a sewer pond effluent discharge line and prepare for a replacement generator installation at the tank site. Additionally, the department is preparing for crack seal and seal coat applications in the Moenave Subdivision and signage work on Big Springs Road.
The Springdale Town Council's meeting agenda was part of a broader set of municipal activities, including discussions on the Community Clean Energy Program, which is scheduled to officially start on Jan. 1, 2027. The town also manages various community projects, such as the River Park Expansion Project, for which a ribbon-cutting ceremony was planned for Oct. 16, 2026.
The town's next scheduled regular meeting is set for Oct. 21, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
