Milford meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Milford P&Z takes up data center ban ordinance Oct. 26; no decisions recorded in recent meetings

No votes, decisions, or outcomes appear in the meeting records supplied for Milford's three most recent meetings. Each is listed as agenda-only, with minutes not yet published. What follows comes from those agendas and from agendas posted for upcoming meetings.

Data center ordinance on the Oct. 26 agenda

The Milford City Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to meet Oct. 26 on proposed Ordinance 06-2026, which would regulate data centers and related energy uses. As described in the agenda, the ordinance would prohibit data centers and data center power plants in all zoning districts within Milford City; allow backup generators as permitted accessory uses subject to applicable standards; allow quasi-public energy storage facilities in the Industrial Park (IP) and Manufacturing (M) zoning districts under standards covering development, safety, environmental, decommissioning, screening, noise and continuing compliance; and establish enforcement and penalty provisions.

The prohibition described in the agenda would apply citywide, in every zoning district.

The same ordinance was the subject of a public hearing scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026 at 7:00 PM at the Milford City Administrative Office, 26 South 100 West. The supplied record does not include minutes from that hearing, so what comments were offered, and whether the hearing was held as scheduled, is not established here. The notice stated that a copy of the proposed ordinance was available for review at the Administrative Office during regular business hours.

The Oct. 26 agenda also lists Ordinance 07-2026 regarding Home Occupation, an amendment to CUP 2026-01 Heritage Plaza Operating Agreement, discussion regarding the Subdivision Ordinance, and general discussion on ordinance updates. The records supplied contain two separate agenda entries for the same date and body, both concerning Ordinance 06-2026.

Council work session: data center, Google partnership, water

A City Council special work session on Oct. 13 was scheduled to discuss the Beaver County Data Center, potential partnership opportunities with Google, and water and wastewater. The supplied record is an agenda only; it includes no minutes, recommendations, or action.

Library Board

The Library Board was scheduled to meet Oct. 15 with agenda items including a Teen Enhancement Grant, the Spanish collection, the Director's Summit, the Christmas light parade, and policy review. No outcomes are recorded in the supplied material.

What the records do not show

None of the three recent meetings has published minutes in the material provided. That means the record does not establish whether any item was approved, denied, tabled, or continued, and does not establish any vote tally. Missing minutes are not evidence that no action was taken; the results simply are not in the supplied documents.

Coming up

• **Oct. 26 — Planning and Zoning Commission.** Agenda includes Ordinance 06-2026 (data centers, data center power plants, energy storage facilities, backup generators and energy storage), Ordinance 07-2026 (home occupation), the CUP 2026-01 Heritage Plaza Operating Agreement amendment, and discussion of the Subdivision Ordinance. The Oct. 14 notice for Ordinance 06-2026 described a public hearing format for receiving public comments; the Oct. 26 entry is listed as a discussion item.

This is the only upcoming meeting included in the supplied records. Residents can review the proposed ordinance at the Milford City Administrative Office, 26 South 100 West, during regular business hours, as stated in the Oct. 14 hearing notice.

Milford agendas take up data center ban, sewer extension and airport lease; no outcomes yet published

Milford's city boards spent the past two weeks on agendas covering a proposed citywide ban on data centers, a sewer extension tied to two new homes, and an airport land lease. Minutes have not been published for any of the four meetings listed below, so this roundup reports what was scheduled and discussed — not what was decided. No vote tallies or outcomes are available.

Data center ordinance draws two hearings

The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on Wednesday, October 14, 2026 at 7:00 PM at the Milford City Administrative Office, 26 South 100 West, on proposed Ordinance 06-2026.

As described in the hearing notice, the ordinance would:

• Prohibit data centers and data center power plants in all zoning districts within Milford City.
• Allow backup generators as permitted accessory uses subject to applicable standards.
• Allow quasi-public energy storage facilities in the Industrial Park (IP) and Manufacturing (M) zoning districts under standards covering development, safety, environmental, decommissioning, screening, noise, and continuing compliance.
• Establish enforcement and penalty provisions for these uses.

A copy of the proposed ordinance is available for review at the Milford City Administrative Office during regular business hours, according to the notice.

Council work session on data center and Google

The City Council scheduled a special work session on October 13 to discuss the Beaver County Data Center, including potential partnership opportunities with Google, along with water and wastewater. The agenda listed discussion only.

Sewer extension and Western Rock lease on October 6 agenda

The council's October 6 meeting, scheduled for 4:00 p.m. at Milford City Hall, 26 South 100 West, listed consideration for approval of a development agreement and plat map for sewer extension modifications and two single family homes.

Also listed was consideration and approval of an addendum to a land lease agreement with Western Rock at the MLF Airport.

Consent items included the August 2026 financial report, approval of bills and payroll, and minutes from four meetings: August 18, August 26, August 31, and September 28, 2026. The agenda also listed updates on the 600 North Drainage, Wastewater, and Industrial Park Road projects, and discussion of maintenance on Adams Street in the Industrial Park.

Coming up

The Planning and Zoning Commission has scheduled a second public hearing on proposed Ordinance 06-2026 for October 26. The upcoming agenda again lists prohibiting data centers and data center power plants in all zoning districts, regulating backup generators as permitted accessory uses, allowing quasi-public energy storage facilities in the IP and M districts, and establishing enforcement and penalty provisions.

Residents can check with the Milford City Administrative Office, 26 South 100 West, for meeting times, the ordinance text, and minutes once published.

Milford City Council Tackles Housing, General Plan, Airport Repairs in Late July Sessions

Housing partnership and General Plan dominate July 21 sessions

The Milford City Council scheduled two separate sessions for July 21, 2026. Minutes have not yet been published for either, so outcomes are not yet confirmed.

A special work session at 3:00 PM was set to discuss and possibly act on a single-family housing project partnership involving the Utah Inland Port Authority and Granite View Estates. The agenda noted the council could also adjourn to a closed executive session.

Later that day, the council scheduled public hearings on two long-range planning documents: the proposed Annexation Policy Plan, which identifies expansion areas and criteria for future annexations over a 20-year horizon, and the proposed General Plan, a policy guide for growth and development. No other business was scheduled for that meeting.

July 29 work session covers sewer, airport fees, and annexation

The council scheduled a special work session for July 29, 2026, with several substantive items on the agenda. Minutes are not yet published, so no action can be confirmed.

Agenda items included:

• Adoption of the Milford General Plan 2026 and Annexation Policy 2026
• Sewer line extensions for duplex units at 300 S 600 W and Granite View RV Park
• Resolution 11-2026 to adjust the Airport Fee Schedule to include fueling services
• Resolution 12-2026 regarding a property amendment into the Utah Inland Port Authority
• Setting utility rates for RV campgrounds

The sewer extensions and utility rate items could affect residents and property owners in the affected areas, though no dollar amounts or rate figures were included in the available agenda materials.

Airport hangar roof repair project seeks bids

On July 22, 2026, the City Council issued a Request for Proposals for the Hangar Roof Screw Replacement and Roof Sealing Project at the Milford Municipal Airport. The project aims to prevent water intrusion and extend the roof's life by replacing fasteners and sealing leaks.

Proposals are due August 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The bid opening is scheduled for the same date and time at the Milford City Administrative Building.

What residents should know

All four meetings listed above are marked as agenda-only items — minutes have not yet been published. That means the council's discussions and any votes or decisions cannot be independently confirmed from the available records. Residents who want to verify outcomes should check the city's official minutes once they are posted or contact Milford City directly.

The General Plan and Annexation Policy, if adopted, would guide land use and city expansion decisions for years. The housing partnership with the Utah Inland Port Authority and Granite View Estates could shape residential development. The airport fee schedule adjustment and utility rates for RV campgrounds could affect costs for specific users.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days (through August 17, 2026). The next known deadline is the August 5 bid opening for the airport hangar roof project at 2:00 PM at the Milford City Administrative Building.

Milford City Council Lines Up General Plan, Annexation, and Housing Partnership Discussions

Milford residents have a packed stretch of City Council activity to track, with multiple meetings scheduled between July 16 and July 22 covering the 2026 General Plan, annexation policy, airport fees, utility rates, and a potential single-family housing partnership. Minutes have not yet been published for any of these meetings, so outcomes and vote tallies are not yet available in the public record.

General Plan and Annexation Policy

The City Council scheduled public hearings on the proposed Milford General Plan 2026 and the proposed Annexation Policy Plan 2026. The General Plan is described in the agenda as a long-range policy guide for growth and development. The Annexation Policy Plan identifies expansion areas and criteria for future annexations over a 20-year horizon. A separate July 21 meeting was set to hold two public hearings specifically to receive public comments on both proposals. No other business was scheduled for that hearing.

Because minutes are not yet published, it is not possible to report whether the council voted to adopt either plan or what public comments were made.

Airport Fee Schedule and RV Campground Utility Rates

The July 16 agenda included a resolution to adjust the Airport Fee Schedule to include fueling services, and a separate resolution to set utility rates for RV campgrounds. No dollar amounts or proposed rate figures appear in the agenda materials provided. Outcomes are not yet available.

Sewer Line and Sidewalk Work at 300 South 600 West

The council was also scheduled to consider a sewer line extension and sidewalk development for duplex units at 300 South 600 West. The agenda item does not specify a cost estimate or contractor. Whether the council approved, tabled, or rejected the item is not yet reflected in published minutes.

Utah Inland Port Authority Involvement

Two items on recent agendas involve the Utah Inland Port Authority. The July 16 agenda included an item described as "Amendment of property into the Utah Inland Port Authority." On July 21, a special work session at 3:00 PM was set to discuss and possibly act on a single-family housing project partnership involving the Utah Inland Port Authority and Granite View Estates. The agenda notes the council may also adjourn to a closed executive session. No action is confirmed in the record.

Airport Hangar Roof Repair Project

On July 22, the City Council issued a Request for Proposals for the Hangar Roof Screw Replacement and Roof Sealing Project at the Milford Municipal Airport. According to the agenda, the project aims to prevent water intrusion and extend the roof's life by replacing fasteners and sealing leaks. The proposal deadline is August 5, 2026, at 2 PM, with a bid opening the same day at 2 PM at the Milford City Administrative Building.

What Residents Should Watch

The General Plan and Annexation Policy will shape how Milford grows over the next two decades. The housing partnership discussion with the Utah Inland Port Authority and Granite View Estates could affect single-family housing availability. Airport fee changes and RV campground utility rates may affect costs for those services. Residents can review the full agendas on the city's official meeting portal, and published minutes will confirm what was actually decided once they are posted.

Coming Up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. The next publicly scheduled deadline is August 5, 2026, at 2 PM, when bids for the airport hangar roof project are due and will be opened at the Milford City Administrative Building.
