Topics getting the most attention in Moab City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
5 issues in budget
Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget
The city council reviewed the draft four-year budget and state auditor report for the general fund. This review helps ensure that city revenues from taxes, fees, and intergovernmental sources align with ongoing municipal expenditures and services.
Water Infrastructure Expansion
The city is updating its water master plan, impact fees, and rate structures through a $186,500 contract to ensure long-term system reliability and adequate bond funding.
Grant Funding Denial
Moab got snubbed for state grant cash for a water project. Why? A state official basically said Moab's 'liberal' vibe clashes with the oil and gas money funding the grant. So, no water upgrades for now.
RAP Tax Funding Allocation
The committee set the rules and timeline for distributing $85,000 in RAP tax funds this year, ensuring local non-profits have clear guidance and a fair review process.
Property Tax Increase
Get ready for your property tax bill to climb! The Moab City Council just gave the green light to a tax increase after a heated public discussion.
