Description/Background:
On June 16, 2026, following public notice, public hearing, and deliberation, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 26-61C approving the City’s annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2027, including amendments.
On June 30, 2026, the Mayor returned a partial veto of Resolution No. 26-61C pursuant to Utah Code section 10-3b-204, objecting to portions of the Council's adopted appropriations.
Utah Code section 10-3b-204(3) requires the City Council to reconsider a vetoed appropriation at its next meeting. Furthermore, Utah Code section 10-3b-204(4)(c) authorizes the City Council to override the Mayor’s veto upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (5) of all members of the City Council.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Option 1: Override the veto. This can be accomplished by approving the attached Resolution 26-76C with a super majority vote (5 members). An override means that the mayors veto becomes null and void. The following motion may be made:
Motion to Adopt Resolution 26-76C, A resolution overriding the mayor’s June 30, 2026 veto of a portion of resolution no. 26-61c adopting the city’s fiscal year 2026 through 2027 annual budget, and reaffirming the city council's legislative appropriation decisions.
Option 2: Let the veto stand. No action by the Council is necessary to let the veto stand.
