Council member to add $5,000 to Milford budget in support of Iron County water effort

At the April 10 work session a council member said Mayor Davis asked if Milford could fit $5,000 into the upcoming budget to show support for the Iron County water effort.

The council discussed news coverage and resident awareness; one council member noted that many residents "had no idea" the city was involved. The council member said, "I'll just add it into the budget," and no formal roll‑call vote followed during the session.

Council members briefly discussed outreach and how the additional amount might be found in the budget. The amount requested in the transcript is $5,000; an earlier adjacent exchange references the number "15" in response to a question about an original amount but the transcript does not make that earlier figure’s units or currency explicit.

What happens next

The council member stated they would include the $5,000 figure in the draft budget for further consideration in the regular budget process. Any final appropriation requires a subsequent budget meeting or formal vote.
