City decisions

The search Every council vote, 2019 to Sep 1, 2026

Have a question about our city’s rules and decisions?

You can ask anything. Why did the city raise my property taxes? When did the noise rules last change? What did the council decide about the data center?

Ask it the way you would ask a neighbor.

A model reads your question and works out what to look for. It never writes the answer and it never sees the results. Every word below comes from the minutes. How we use AI.

It searches every motion the council has voted on since 2019 and shows you the document and the page each answer came from. It will tell you when a rule changed and why. If you want to read the rule itself, that is in the city code.

Tell the council what you think of it — public comment is three minutes, and you do not need to be on the agenda.

The city’s share only — your full bill also carries school district, county and water district levies. Estimated at 55% taxable value; check your county valuation notice for the real number. See the motion (opens Civic Roll Call in a new tab).

Decided September 1st Lands in 2027 and 2028

Leaving the fire district means one more tax notice in 2027

The city exits the Unified Fire Authority district on January 1st, 2028. Leaving requires a Truth in Taxation process in 2027, so a notice reaches you before anything reaches your bill.

The city stated this should not cost you more, because the fire district’s rate should come down as the city’s own levy starts. That is the city’s expectation and not a guarantee.

Decided September 1st Only if you build one

A retaining wall may now cost you a permit and an engineer

A wall four feet or shorter needs both if it holds up vehicles, a parking pad, an RV pad, a shed, or earth from an upslope. An unloaded wall in a back yard does not. Over four feet always needs both.

City Council Meeting

Eagle Mountain's council spent the afternoon deciding not to write a transmission line zone it could not enforce, and hearing a resident board's list of small park and trail fixes. In the evening it welcomed a new sheriff's deputy, took an hour of public criticism over the property tax increase and data centers, and approved the first change to this year's budget. Roughly 90 percent of that change was money carried over from projects already under way.

City protests Cedar Fort annexation of Red Cedar land

No street, bill or service changes because of this. The council is staking Eagle Mountain's claim in a boundary fight with a neighboring town, and where that land ends up gets settled later, not by this vote.

Overland development agreement amended again

What the amendment changes is not stated in the motion, so this vote alone will not tell you what shifts on the ground. It binds the city and the developer behind Overland.

How to be heard

The council takes public comment at every regular meeting. You do not need to know anybody, and you do not need to have read the packet.

Where: City Hall, 1650 E Stagecoach Run
When: Work session at 4:00 PM, evening session at 7:00 PM. Public comment is in the evening session.
To speak: General public comment comes near the start of the evening session and is limited to three minutes per person. You do not need to be on the agenda to use it. Not every item is a public hearing. Items marked as hearings take comment on that item specifically; everything else has to go through general public comment.
In writing: The city’s public comment form (opens the city’s site in a new tab) — if you cannot make the meeting, or would rather not speak.
By email: [email protected] reaches every member at once. The mayor is [email protected]. Each member’s own address is on their card above. For things the city administers rather than decides, write to city staff (opens the city’s site in a new tab).
Who they are: Mayor and City Council (opens the city’s site in a new tab) — the city’s own page, including which of them sits on which committee.

In my experience the city would rather hear from you than not.
