From January 21, 2020 to October 6, 2026. 65 votes are marked not recorded because the minutes' attendance and tally don't account for every member. Each count is per agenda item, not per meeting: missing one meeting counts as absent for every item on its agenda, and consent agenda items each count separately. A yes is counted only when everyone present is accounted for in the tally. Motions count once per item, so moving a consent agenda counts for each item on it.

• Eagle Mountain authorized up to $10 million in bonds and adopted a Mid-Valley retail project area in 2026 In June the Redevelopment Agency authorized up to $10 million in sales tax and tax increment revenue bonds for road work tied to a planned retail development. In August the council adopted the Mid-Valley project area plan and approved a participation agreement with Terra Smith's Eagle Mountain LLC, 4-1.
• Eagle Mountain's agency approved the Sweetwater #4 data-center deal in December 2025 The Redevelopment Agency board approved a participation agreement with Stadion LLC on Dec. 16, 2025, and amended the Sweetwater #4 plan and budget on Jan. 6, 2026. The packet version of the agreement ties reimbursement to occupancy and to increment the agency actually receives, and the amended budget's printed total differs from the sum of its parts.
