Mayfield Council Sets Hearings on Water Rate Increase and FY2026 Budget Amendment
The Mayfield Town Council scheduled public hearings and possible votes on a Fiscal Year 2026 budget amendment and an increase to culinary water rates at its October 14 meeting, following an October 7 work meeting that reviewed the same water rate proposal. Agendas for both sessions are posted, but minutes have not been published, so no votes, dollar amounts, or outcomes are confirmed in the public record reviewed here. Everything below is what the agendas list as scheduled or up for discussion.
Water rates
The October 7 work meeting included a review of a Water Rate Study and a proposed ordinance updating water rates. The October 14 agenda lists "possible approval of increase to culinary water rates." Neither agenda states a rate, percentage, or dollar figure. Culinary water rates are what residents pay the town for water service; the size of the proposed change is not specified in the documents provided.
FY2026 budget amendment
A public hearing on opening and amending the Fiscal Year 2026 budget is set for October 14 from 7:15 PM to 7:20 PM at Mayfield Town Hall, 52 N Main Street. Residents may attend in person or submit written comments to Town Clerk Amanda Bennett at [email protected] before the hearing. The notice was posted September 29, 2026 on the Utah Public Notice Website, Town Hall, Town Message Board, and the town website. The notice does not state which line items or dollar amounts are being amended. The same agenda lists approval of Resolution 2026-J regarding the FY26 budget.
School resource officer
The October 7 agenda included a review of the School Resource Officer Budget. The October 14 agenda lists payment of an invoice to Gunnison Vally PD for the annual school resource officer. No amount is given in either agenda.
Community Development Block Grant
A first public hearing on the CDBG program is scheduled for October 14 at 7:00 PM at 52 N. Main Street. According to the notice, Mayfield is eligible to apply to the Utah Department of Workforce Services for CDBG Small Cities Program funding, a federally funded program administered by the State of Utah, Housing and Community Development Division. The hearing covers eligible activities, program requirements, and expected regional funding allocations. No application or project has been decided. Eligible uses described in the notice include water and sewer lines, fire stations, real property acquisition, and public services such as food banks or homeless shelters. If the town chooses to apply, a second public hearing would be held later to discuss the project. For information, contact Mayor Good at 435-528-5061. ADA accommodations require notifying Amanda Bennett at 435-851-7030 at least three days before the hearing.
Other agenda items
The October 7 work meeting also listed review of electronic communications proposals, an ordinance violation follow-up, and a closed session regarding the purchase, exchange, or lease of real property. The October 14 agenda lists discussion and possible approval of a CDBG project.
Coming up
No upcoming meetings were listed in the records provided for the next 14 days. That absence is not evidence the council will not meet; agendas are typically posted on the Utah Public Notice Website and at Town Hall.
