Clinton, UT Daily Briefing: Annexation Deadline, Audit Update, and Shop-Local Push

Annexation protest window closes Sunday

Residents and affected property owners have one more day to weigh in on a proposed west-side annexation. The petition would bring about 155 acres near 2224 North 4500 West into the city, adding Clinton police and fire coverage while keeping existing water and sewer providers. Written protests must reach the county boundary commission, with a copy to the city recorder, by late afternoon on Sunday, February 8.

If no valid protests are submitted, the City Council will schedule a public hearing before voting on the proposal. If a protest is filed, the hearing will wait until after the county reviews the challenge.

City completes FY 2025 financial audit

Clinton has formally wrapped up its audit for the 2025 fiscal year. Officials report that the review was completed in line with state law, and the full report is now available for residents at City Hall during normal business hours as well as on the city website. The document details how tax dollars were collected and spent over the last budget year.

‘Clinton’s Comeback’ shop-local week starts tomorrow

After a lengthy construction season along 2000 West, the city is launching a weeklong “Clinton’s Comeback” push to support local businesses. From February 8 through 14, residents are encouraged to shop in town, with many businesses offering special deals. A kickoff ceremony and family night is planned for Monday evening at the entertainment complex on 2000 West, including bonus arcade credit and drink promotions.

New City Hall hours take effect February 16

City offices will soon open at 9 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. on weekdays. Leaders say the adjustment will give staff a quiet hour each morning to handle paperwork and administrative tasks before serving walk-in customers. Closing times and existing exceptions for public works and recreation counters will stay the same.

Residents invited to help shape Clinton’s future

Work continues on a comprehensive update to the city’s General Plan, which will guide decisions on land use, housing, transportation, parks, and economic development. The project is moving toward council adoption in early 2026, and residents are being asked to share ideas through online surveys, an interactive map, and public meetings. Feedback gathered this winter will help set priorities for how and where Clinton grows over the next decade.
