Price City Council weighed indigent defense deal, rental fees, and billboard donation; Planning Commission meetings cancelled
The Price City Council had a full agenda scheduled for July 22, 2026, including an $8,300/month interlocal agreement for indigent defense services with Carbon County, a new city space rental fee schedule, and the donation of a city-owned billboard to Utah State University-Eastern. Minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so outcomes for these items are not yet confirmed in the public record.
Indigent defense agreement
The Council was scheduled to consider an Interlocal Agreement for Indigent Defense Services between Price City and Carbon County at a cost of $8,300 per month. The agreement appeared on the July 22 agenda. Because minutes have not been published, it is not yet known whether the Council voted to approve the agreement.
Space rental fee schedule
Resolution No. 2026-19, listed on the agenda, would adopt a Price City Owned Space Rental Fee Schedule and Policy. The agenda did not include specific fee amounts. The outcome is not confirmed pending publication of minutes.
Billboard donation to USU-Eastern
The Council agenda included an item to donate a city-owned billboard along Highway 6 to Utah State University-Eastern. No further details about the billboard's value or condition were included in the agenda materials.
Liberty Gala proceeds public hearing
A public hearing was scheduled for July 22 to receive public input on donating proceeds raised at the Liberty Gala to the American Legion. This appeared as both a standalone agenda item and within the broader Council agenda. Minutes have not been published, so the outcome of the hearing is not yet on record.
Business license
The agenda included a business license application for Tony and Tina Guerras Farms at 59 E 100 N. No additional details about the business were provided in the agenda summary.
Planning and Zoning Commission meetings cancelled
