Malibu property sale for luxury RV and cabin resort
The town is weighing a sale or lease of two central town parcels to Wildhorse Hospitality for a luxury RV and cabin resort. Most speakers pushed back, favoring affordable housing, a rec center, or a competitive RFP process. No decision was made — the item went to executive session and stays open.

AI permitting technology pilot
An AI company offered Payson a free pilot that pre-checks building permit applications for completeness and code issues — potentially cutting review times by half or more. Council seemed enthusiastic; costs would come up during next year's budget talks.
