Development News from the latest meeting
Lindon City Council - July 6, 2026
Published: Jul 6, 2026
City Council Approves Updated Emergency Management Plan
The council reviewed and approved updates to the city's emergency management plan. The updated plan is a compromise between FEMA requirements, operational sense for city risks, and available resources. A major change is the shift from a full Incident Command System (ICS) structure to a 'department structure,' which allows city employees to respond in their normal capacities, still remaining ICS compliant. The plan includes a new quad chart for a common operating picture and uses a community lifelines reporting system. Pending items include agreements for animal care in disasters and shelter options, with the junior high identified as a potential Red Cross shelter location. The plan emphasizes utilizing existing city procedures for finances during emergencies and acknowledges that it is a living document subject to modification.
City Council Approves Interlocal Agreement for Building Inspections and Appoints Tree Board Member
The consent agenda included an interlocal agreement for third-party building inspection services with the City of ORM. This agreement is to provide backup inspection services when needed, and the cost through ORM was found to be significantly less than private companies. The agreement is not a guaranteed backup but allows the city to utilize ORM's services if they have capacity. The council also approved the appointment of Dan Severinsson to the Lynen City Tree Board. This agreement is seen as a pass-through, similar to the sewer fee discussion, to ensure services are met when needed.
City Council Considers Sewer Treatment Fee Increase
The council is discussing the sewer treatment fee, estimated to be between $16-$20 per month, which is a pass-through cost for upgrades to the ORM city's treatment plant. The city is contractually obligated to pay a percentage of these upgrades. Failure to increase sewer rates would necessitate using general funds and potentially increasing taxes. The council favors presenting the fee at a single meeting, publishing notice, and allowing for public input. The fee is intended to cover the city's portion of the ORM treatment plan upgrades, which are required for necessary improvements.
Redout Restoration Company Awarded Creek Restoration Project Contract
The Council reviewed and approved the bid award for the Redout Restoration Company for the creek restoration project. The project, funded by ARPA funds, involves stream restoration and environmental work. The total cost is $1.3 million, with the city's out-of-pocket match being $65,000. The project must be completed by November 30th to utilize the ARPA funds, with the final invoice due by that date. The company is based in Highland and specializes in stream restoration and environmental projects. The selection process prioritized experience and project management over the lowest bid, as the top two bids were very close in price, but the selected company demonstrated superior qualifications and experience.
