Woods Cross meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Woods Cross agendas: business licensing rewrite, lease revenue bonds, City Hall design

Woods Cross officials have posted agendas for a run of items covering business licensing, bond financing, a pair of Planning Commission permits and, later this month, City Hall design. No minutes have been published for any of the recent meetings listed below, so this roundup reports what was scheduled and noticed — not what was decided. No vote tallies and no dollar amounts appear in the records provided.

Business licensing rewrite (Ordinance 646)

The City Council noticed a public hearing for Tuesday, October 6, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. at the Woods Cross Municipal Building, 1555 South 800 West, on a request to amend Title 6, Business Regulations, of the Woods Cross City Municipal Code to update and clarify business licensing. The hearing was set to be held in person and by videoconference.

A separate summary for the same date lists a public hearing and vote on the Title 6 amendment. A third record, dated October 7, 2026, describes Ordinance 646 as amending Title 6 to "update, clarify, and simplify business licensing and related regulations." The records do not state whether the ordinance passed or what changed in the code.

One note on dates: the summary for the October 6 council meeting refers to the council meeting "Oct. 2, 2026 at 6:30 p.m.," while the meeting date field and the separate public notice both give October 6. The supplied records do not resolve the discrepancy.

Lease revenue bonds through the Local Building Authority

The council agenda included convening as the Local Building Authority, which was set to meet October 6, 2026 at 7:00 p.m., or as the City Council agenda allowed, at the same address. Items listed for the Authority: electing a President and Secretary, approving its organization and by-laws, ratifying prior actions, and adopting a resolution authorizing issuance of lease revenue bonds. The council was then to consider a resolution expressing intent to issue lease revenue bonds through the Authority.

The Authority's agenda does not state dollar amounts, bond terms, or what the bonds would fund. The meeting was noticed for in person and Zoom (Meeting ID: 935 807 4960).

Other council agenda items

• A resolution granting funding to Bountiful Davis Art Center. The amount is not stated in the records provided.
• A consent agenda listing minutes of 9/15/26, cash disbursements from 9/11/26 to 10/1/26, a letter to UDOT on Bamberger Bridge options, an FY27 fertilizer purchase, and a new employee policy manual.
• Discussion items on Public Works roof repairs and a City Hall/Hogan Park update.

Planning Commission: two permits

The Planning Commission was noticed to review and take action on a conditional use permit for Luxe Motors at 609 South 1100 West and a site plan review for RB's Onestop Superchargers at 527 South 700 West. The same session listed ethics training presented by Curtis Poole and a director's report. No outcomes are recorded in the supplied material.

The proposed changes concern second driveways, parking, and lot coverage in single-family residential zones.

Both meetings are listed for the Woods Cross Municipal Building, 1555 South 800 West. Residents who want to comment on the driveway and lot coverage amendments have the October 27 hearing as the noticed opportunity to do so.

Woods Cross residents will have a chance to weigh in on a proposed property tax increase for fiscal year 2027 at an August 4 City Council public hearing, the most consequential item on the city's recent and upcoming meeting agendas. No votes have been recorded yet — all recent meetings have agendas available but minutes have not been published, so outcomes from those sessions are not yet confirmed.

Proposed Property Tax Increase (Aug. 4)

The City Council has scheduled a public hearing for August 4, 2026, at 7:30 PM in the City Council Chambers at 1555 S 800 W to receive comments on a proposed increase in property tax revenue for FY2027.

According to the agenda, if approved, the tax on a $543,000 residence would rise from $387.65 to $569.23 per year — an increase of $181.58. The business tax on a $543,000 property would rise from $704.81 to $1,034.96 per year, an increase of $330.15. The city would collect an additional $96,504 in property tax revenue annually, a 4.40% increase over last year's budgeted revenue excluding new growth.

Residents may attend in person or via Zoom (Meeting ID: 935 807 4960). Written comments are accepted until the hearing ends at AP@WoodsCross.gov with the subject line "Budget Year 2027 Public Comment."
