Huntington City Council, Planning Commission to weigh water ordinance, sidewalk project

The Huntington City Council and Planning Commission have several items on their agendas in the coming weeks, including a proposed ordinance on outside-boundary culinary water connections, a sidewalk construction project, and a vacancy on the council. No decisions have been made yet, as minutes from the recent meetings have not been published.

Water ordinance

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on Aug. 13 on Ordinance O-2026-8, which would amend city code on outside-boundary culinary water connections and annexation regarding conveyance of water shares.

Huntington City Council agendas posted for July 15; minutes not yet available

The Huntington City Council met on July 15, 2026, with agendas covering two ordinances, a business license, a fraud risk assessment, and adoption of the Emery County Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan. However, minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so the outcomes of those items are not yet part of the public record.

What was on the July 15 agenda

The council's regular meeting agenda listed the following items for discussion and possible approval or denial:

• A business license application
• A Fraud Risk Assessment
• Ordinance O-2026-6
• Ordinance O-2026-7, described as relating to Business License & Appeal
• Adoption of the Emery County Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan

The agenda also included a purchase of canopies for the Heritage Day Celebration, discussion of manufactured home parks and recreational parks, and reports from the mayor, city departments, the youth council, and the zoning administrator.

Two additional July 15 agenda postings dealt with certificates of posting and summaries for Ordinance O-2026-6 and Ordinance O-2026-7. A certificate of posting is a procedural step confirming that an ordinance notice was publicly posted.

Because minutes have not been published, it is not possible to report whether any of these items were approved, denied, or tabled. Residents seeking the outcomes should watch for the minutes to be posted in the city's official records.

Cemetery concrete project walkthrough set for today
