Police Chief Darren Adams told the council he revised the ordinance text to match the summary the council discussed at a prior meeting and made one additional modification requested by council members. The ordinance as adopted clarifies that the restriction applies on streets with a posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour or less; the explanatory whereas language in the summary had used the phrase “high speed streets” and staff clarified the operative limit in the legal text.

Councilmembers asked practical questions about enforcement and public outreach. One councilmember asked whether the police department was prepared for a public‑relations rollout once the ordinance takes effect; Chief Adams confirmed the department would work with city communications staff and recommended a transition plan to reduce confusion among residents. The council approved the amendment by voice vote.

The ordinance change replaces previous language that referenced ownership or legal interest with wording focused on where a vehicle “resides,” a change staff said better matched the council’s intent. Staff and council agreed to coordinate public education before enforcement begins.","Cedar City amended Ordinance 35‑13 to further restrict the sale of automobiles on public streets, clarifying the rule applies to streets with speed limits of 25 mph or less; Police Chief Darren Adams said the ordinance text was updated to match the summary council reviewed and that the department will coordinate public outreach.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6246234,"Cedar City accepts commemorative plates from wood carvers, appoints honorary ambassador to Kapyeong, South Korea",1553,189000,1742000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3218899-259f2c20ba6fc4e8b7fbfc4279564893&start=189&end=1742","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3218899-259f2c20ba6fc4e8b7fbfc4279564893/thumbnail_189000.jpg","/articles/6246234/Utah/Cedar-City-accepts-commemorative-plates-from-wood-carvers-appoints-honorary-ambassador-to-Kapyeong-South-Korea","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6246234-4d1a7ad5ee800dd06b27f01c2ce73f8d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139100&Signature=gRHh9LtOMVfrafyiwgAk6hb2VSMo8uxdrFDabAm~Mnqlx8YnL6FXYW7mBEXPTkvrJyrr7rveFJqeVqSExHWtjhOvfrGPlmd-ppIP8LruRViuNmPAb9bqC920ZPogh7sGLc2cume7GrQfWEOpB68icBQtEHRMVI72sastYFuyaymFaUKg7yPZmuz0g0jbiQs6nycJxP5Hw2RvkfcYUvk~K4bcCrZVpXNOa7uTEXiQ081rS-VIcj3~-Hp5lLvpoWm1msxX5xtbNDk4aZZucxLPQdR8ReM3XIqCm-GK5XuO7ssKLtZawSBPlGXtb6g2b4nNZxeLeTreqEXefKq5OQuJJg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cedar City Council accepted a donation of commemorative plates crafted by Cedar City Wood Carvers and unanimously approved the appointment of Johnny Jong Hoon Oh as the city’s Honorary Ambassador to Kapyeong City, Republic of Korea.

Council members and the carvers described the plate as a symbol of remembrance and ongoing friendship between Cedar City and Kapyeong. The wood carvers said they produced two plates: one to be presented to dignitaries in Kapyeong during an upcoming delegation and the other to remain in local government offices or a museum. The carvers noted the plate includes English and Korean text and that laser engraving was used for the Korean translation.

The council adopted the resolution appointing Johnny Jong Hoon Oh as honorary ambassador during the action meeting. Council members invited the carvers and guests to pose for a group photograph and thanked the artisans for the donation. The presentation and appointment drew applause and an offer to present one plate in Korea in mid‑May, corresponding with the anniversary of the May 20, 1951 Battle of Gapyeong as referenced by the presenters.

No formal city expenditure was associated with the appointment or the donation; the items were presented as a gift from the Cedar City Wood Carvers and will be carried forward by the mayor’s office and visiting delegation.","Cedar City received two commemorative plates crafted by the Cedar City Wood Carvers to honor the 1951 Battle of Gapyeong and unanimously appointed Johnny Jong Hoon Oh as the city’s honorary ambassador to Kapyeong City, Republic of Korea.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6246238,"Cedar City council adopts tentative FY 2025–26 budget; staff assigned to refine bond and water funding options",382,2082000,2464000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3218899-259f2c20ba6fc4e8b7fbfc4279564893&start=2082&end=2464","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3218899-259f2c20ba6fc4e8b7fbfc4279564893/thumbnail_2082000.jpg","/articles/6246238/Utah/Cedar-City-council-adopts-tentative-FY-202526-budget-staff-assigned-to-refine-bond-and-water-funding-options","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6246238-d6b0317f0c7f52df9e5076a61c262421/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139100&Signature=ndWivFxq5ElMLaurxjxw~ZV8yvxzbeELQ2BnjzWELpEhda5mY4pEr73PtCuTd2sqhA8-ybrmaawOJfLWGYR0h4Fu~UIwozMSmti2dTfkG0IqK-WzZQeU8rMjwRD6ZMkj~9Eh3C7AgjKnNJvXEol7hP1nctql~OaOS8TAj-HVfvWfaj3HsRONr3fd6pVMduQtbGry-RVZwnjtbiVa6Vp3WTNQ8q92BBPRv9sVAXQfjl9TQPFPeN3toXwliWFoY0cOTb1HB16K1Sd0HP51Pim8FCGYw-0wIxxgeTwhEzaQXq0S9ldQQzAmVHyLa23IYfoIIr4SNSaseDZlXHZ8tsXrAw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Cedar City’s council voted to adopt the tentative fiscal year 2025–26 budget during its May 7 action meeting and authorized staff to continue work on financing details and final numbers ahead of the June adoption deadline.

Council discussion reviewed several notable capital and operating items that staff will analyze further before the final budget: an estimated $1.6 million for a replacement meter project, unresolved funding for a backup generator and a drain line at the sewer plant (costs not specified during the meeting), a roughly $70,000 amount staff said had been saved from prior equipment work, and a $4 million line item reserved for the Mud Springs project. Councilmembers and staff also discussed water‑related bonding needs and noted that bond planning could account for tens of millions of dollars in capital projects; one speaker characterized the total potential bonding envelope in that discussion as roughly $20 million.

City staff said some line items (storm‑drain and other small line items) may reflect typographical or accounting adjustments that staff will correct when finalizing the budget. The council instructed staff to identify funding sources for projects discussed at earlier meetings (including meter replacement and sewer plant work), to finalize numbers for items with unclear cost estimates, and to present recommended bond decisions and a final proposed budget at the next work meeting cycle.

The council moved and seconded adoption of the tentative budget and approved it by voice vote. Mayor Green and councilmembers recorded aye votes during the roll call; councilmembers said the action adopted a tentative document while staff pursues the specific funding and bond decisions that remain outstanding.

Councilmembers emphasized that additional work is required before final adoption on or before June 30, per statutory deadlines. Staff committed to return with updated cost estimates and funding recommendations, and the council scheduled further budget review in upcoming meetings.","The city council adopted a tentative fiscal year 2025–26 budget on May 7 and instructed staff to refine financing options for several capital projects, including replacement water meters and potential bonds for water infrastructure; the council also scheduled further budget review at upcoming work meetings.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6246242,"Utah Summer Games announces Raiders partnership, Special Olympics contract, bigger fireworks show",360,1056000,1416000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3218899-259f2c20ba6fc4e8b7fbfc4279564893&start=1056&end=1416","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3218899-259f2c20ba6fc4e8b7fbfc4279564893/thumbnail_1056000.jpg","/articles/6246242/Utah/Utah-Summer-Games-announces-Raiders-partnership-Special-Olympics-contract-bigger-fireworks-show","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6246242-b2b6b111b1bd5bbd372e64c5335afe9b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771139100&Signature=DXUz4yhHIdmeqphvLLyalnW1dnVHZaXNaOHWmtcw8Hv1qCTAWYdr1YTaS~PP1XgFGlBvDq9A2VY~xhMqjLVhAXhQUDT6NDId82VmvLQMsy1ovlt31DPOfY45W1zT4dhvC3csIywX38se2R75bFQF6tpbjSWSasAZqCvLmHaElPJcqFUIKBiEj-AYLZUP4bQzKpqUlR8xWy5jtvP61b7AXqUeRZIKwYbI~laHARt6COpZE2WyEdmnuB4tfFIx1AUz5JIUNtQnHxiutMNT1ZcLZsv6K-EzN1QZy2-pLSl5~f8X32ZliLOZc2J46fugOSMHn9woU0cVgHzOtGEXvDu6HQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","John Oglesby, director for the Larry H. Miller Utah Summer Games program at Southern Utah University, told the Cedar City Council on May 7 that the 2025 Utah Summer Games will include new partnerships and is on track for increased attendance.

Oglesby said the games have struck “a landmark agreement” with the Las Vegas Raiders to sponsor 7-on-7 flag football and that the university and event organizers expect higher hotel bookings and participant growth this year. He said Special Olympics Utah has signed a three‑year contract to hold its statewide event on SUU’s campus during the Summer Games, and organizers now expect additional multi‑night hotel reservations tied to that competition.

The announcement matters because the games bring large numbers of visitors and hotel revenue into Cedar City during late spring and early summer. Oglesby told the council the program posted “a little over 12,000 athletes” in related programming last year and that organizers are targeting growth into the 13,000 range for 2025. He said Special Olympics teams and families will use campus dorms and dining, and that organizers have already requested roughly 50 additional hotel rooms beyond their initial estimates.

Organizers also confirmed the opening ceremony on Friday, June 6 will feature the largest fireworks show in Utah Summer Games history, with gates opening at 8 p.m. Oglesby invited council members and the public to attend and noted community and corporate support for the event, including sponsorship from State Bank of Southern Utah.

Council members and city staff thanked Oglesby and his partners for coordination with Leisure Services and public safety to manage crowds and logistics. The council was told registration for individual sports and special events is open at utahsummergames.org.

Organizers said they also are adding outdoor volleyball (a one‑day event) and other smaller competitions, and that some new events were being scheduled on Mondays and Tuesdays to improve hotel availability for multi‑night stays. Oglesby credited Visit Cedar City and tourism partners for the scheduling strategy.

The city provided no budget or specific public‑safety demands tied to the games during the presentation; council members said they would continue coordinating with Leisure Services and police to finalize details as the events approach.","Organizers previewed the 2025 Utah Summer Games in Cedar City, announcing a new Las Vegas Raiders partnership for 7-on-7 flag football, a three‑year hosting agreement with Special Olympics Utah and an expanded opening‑ceremony fireworks display; organizers said attendance and hotel demand are trending above last year.","actionData","errors"]
