The notice does not include a vote tally or a dollar amount. The same meeting's agenda also listed public hearings on a 14.07-acre rezoning and a Community Development Block Grant adjustment; minutes from that meeting have not been published, so no outcome on those items is recorded in the materials reviewed.

Budget amendment adopted

Ordinance No. 26-49 amends the city's annual budget for the fiscal year that ends June 30, 2027. The recorder's notice states the ordinance was adopted on October 13, 2026. No dollar figures or vote count were provided in the record.

Grant allocation and work session topics

The same agenda listed Resolution No. 26-043, a Community Development Block Grant budget adjustment and subrecipient allocation for Project Year 2026, and recognition of the West Jordan Fire Department for an "Amazing Save."
