Amalga meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Amalga: No Decisions on the Record; Fuel Station Zoning Question Moves to Oct. 22 Hearing

Amalga's meeting record for the past two weeks contains no adopted ordinances, no recorded votes and no dollar amounts. The Planning and Zoning Commission's regular meeting on Oct. 7, 2026, was canceled for lack of a quorum, and the Amalga Town Council's Oct. 14 monthly meeting is documented only by its agenda — minutes have not been published, so no outcomes are known.

Planning commission cancels Oct. 7 meeting

The Planning and Zoning Commission's regular meeting scheduled for Oct. 7, 2026, was canceled due to a lack of a quorum, according to the meeting record. The summaries provided do not agree on what happened to the public hearing set for 6 PM that evening: one entry states that a public hearing for public input only would still be held at 6 PM, while another states that the public hearing was cancelled, also citing the lack of a quorum. The record supplied does not establish which of the two occurred.

Fuel station and automotive service rules set for Oct. 22 hearing

Two zoning items were listed for the Oct. 7 public hearing and appear again on the Oct. 22 agenda: a proposed ordinance to define Automotive Service Stations and Fuel Storage Facilities, and a proposed amendment to allow Automotive Service Stations and Fuel Storage Facilities in the Light Industrial Zone (Code 7.4.1).

The Oct. 7 notice stated that no votes would be taken during that meeting. The Oct. 22 notice describes the session as a public hearing to discuss potential changes to the 2010 Land Management and Development Code. Neither item has been adopted on the record provided; both remain proposals.

Town Council agenda: drainage, IT position, bills

The Town Council's Oct. 14 meeting agenda listed a follow-up with Brian Larsen regarding drainage and ditch matters, a discussion regarding the IT position, and payment of bills. The record does not include amounts for the bills, any action taken on the agenda items, or the outcome of the discussions. Because minutes have not been published, this roundup cannot report what the council decided, if anything.

What the record does not show

No vote tallies, ordinance numbers, contract values or payment amounts appear in the material reviewed for this period. Both the Oct. 7 planning commission entries and the Oct. 14 council entry are marked as agenda only, with minutes not yet published. Missing minutes are not evidence that no action was taken; it means the outcome has not yet been documented in the material available.

Coming up

• **Oct. 22 — Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing.** The commission will take public input on proposed definitions for Automotive Service Stations and Fuel Storage Facilities and on a proposed amendment allowing those uses in the Light Industrial Zone (Code 7.4.1). This is the scheduled opportunity for residents to comment on the zoning question that was on the canceled Oct. 7 agenda.

Residents who want the official wording should consult the posted agenda and, once available, the minutes for each meeting.

Amalga Planning and Zoning Cancels Oct. 7 Meeting Over Quorum; Fuel Station Rules Head to Oct. 22 Hearing

Amalga's Planning and Zoning Commission did not hold its regular meeting on Oct. 7, 2026, because it lacked a quorum, according to the meeting records. No votes were taken on the two proposed code changes that had been listed for that date. The commission is now scheduled to take up the same proposals at a public hearing on Oct. 22.

The records for Oct. 7 conflict on one point. One entry says a public hearing for public input only would still be held at 6 p.m. that day. Another entry says the public hearing was canceled, also because of a lack of quorum. The available records do not resolve which of these occurred. Minutes for the Oct. 7 date have not been published, so the records reviewed here are agenda notices only.

Planning and Zoning: what was on the table

Two items had been listed for the Oct. 7 agenda:

• A proposed ordinance to define Automotive Service Stations and Fuel Storage Facilities.
• A proposed amendment to allow Automotive Service Stations and Fuel Storage Facilities in the Light Industrial Zone.

The Oct. 7 notice described the hearing as a chance to receive resident input on potential changes to the Land Management and Development Code, and stated that no votes would be taken.

Next: Oct. 22 public hearing

The Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on Oct. 22 on the same two proposals: the definitions ordinance and the amendment to allow Automotive Service Stations and Fuel Storage Facilities in the Light Industrial Zone, cited in the agenda as Code 7.4.1. The agenda describes the changes as updates to the 2010 Land Management and Development Code.

Town Council, Oct. 14

The Amalga Town Council is scheduled to hold its monthly meeting on Oct. 14 to review town business. The agenda lists:

• A follow-up with Brian Larsen regarding drainage and ditch matters.
• Discussion regarding the IT position.
• Payment of bills.

The agenda does not list dollar amounts for the bills, and it does not state a proposed action on the IT position.

What was decided

Across the recent records provided, no items were decided. The only recent Planning and Zoning Commission entries are agenda notices for Oct. 7, and that meeting was canceled for lack of a quorum. No vote tallies or dollar figures appear in the records reviewed.

Coming up

• **Oct. 14 — Amalga Town Council monthly meeting.** Agenda includes the drainage and ditch follow-up with Brian Larsen, discussion of the IT position, and payment of bills.
• **Oct. 22 — Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing.** Agenda includes the proposed ordinance defining Automotive Service Stations and Fuel Storage Facilities and the proposed amendment to allow them in the Light Industrial Zone (Code 7.4.1).

The Oct. 22 item is listed as a public hearing, which the agenda describes as a chance to receive resident input on the proposed code changes.

Amalga P&Z approves cheese plant work, tables home; council hears annexation talk

The Amalga Planning and Zoning Commission on Aug. 11 approved a zoning clearance for Schreiber Cheese to demolish and rebuild its loading dock, the most consequential action from the past week's meetings. The commission also cleared a patio cover and a mobile home relocation, while tabling a home clearance pending more documentation. The Town Council met Aug. 12 to discuss annexation and other items, but took no recorded votes.

Planning and Zoning Commission (Aug. 11)

The commission, meeting at 6590 N 2400 W, took several actions:

• **Tabled** a zoning clearance for Kurtis Falslev's home until additional documentation is provided.
• **Approved** a zoning clearance for Schreiber Cheese's loading dock demolition and rebuild.
• **Approved** a zoning clearance for Nate Noyes' patio covering at 5500 N 3100 W.
• **Approved** a zoning clearance for Sid Munk to move a mobile home 40 feet parallel to the property line.

The commission also discussed a proposal from April Turner to modernize the town's communication system and received a citizen's petition opposing a proposed annexation. The annexation is outside the commission's jurisdiction, so no action was taken. The meeting was rescheduled from its original date because of a conflict with the Cache County Fair.

Town Council (Aug. 12)

The Town Council's monthly meeting included a sheriff's report, a timeline for Dakota Bodily and Charlie Erickson presented by Tammy Munk, and an annexation discussion led by Mike Morley. Council members Paul Hansen, Colette Dursteler, Mark Cowley, and Rayslyn Larsen gave reports. The council also approved minutes from July 8, 2026, and the July 22, 2026 workshop. No votes on policy or spending were reported.
