Blackfoot City Council to vote on 2027 budget; Urban Renewal Agency eyes new district
The past two weeks saw no decisions from the Blackfoot Planning & Zoning Commission, as its June 23 regular meeting was canceled. The upcoming week brings two significant meetings: the City Council will consider the proposed 2027 budget and several new ordinances, while the Urban Renewal Agency will weigh forming a new district on Yellowstone Highway.
City Council to weigh 2027 budget, new ordinances
The Blackfoot City Council will meet July 7 and is set to vote on the tentative 2027 budget, which outlines city spending and revenue projections for the next fiscal year. Approval of the budget will directly affect city services and residents' tax obligations.
The council also will consider:
- Purchasing real property at 441 Cedar St.
- Adopting business registration and kratom regulation ordinances.
- A development agreement for Honeybrook 3.
- Street name changes: Rich Street to Founders Street and “Little” Lawrence Lane to Chatfield Lane.
The meeting also will include updates from the Planning & Zoning Commission regarding fence regulations and traffic studies. All items are up for discussion and a vote; outcomes will not be known until after the meeting.
Urban Renewal Agency considers Yellowstone Highway district
The Blackfoot Urban Renewal Agency (BURA) will meet July 7 to decide on forming a new urban renewal district along Yellowstone Highway, a move that could guide development and infrastructure improvements in that corridor. The agency also will consider approving its June and July financial reports and payables, as well as minutes from May. A mayor’s update is also on the agenda.
