Mona City Council approves business permit for Mona Soda drive-through cafe

The Mona City Council meeting on May 27, 2025, focused on several key topics, including the approval of a new business permit and preparations for the upcoming elections.

One of the most significant discussions centered around the approval of a business permit for a new soda shop located at 137 North Main. The business owners expressed enthusiasm about creating a community space, including plans for outdoor seating and a drive-through service. They shared that they had conducted inspections to ensure compliance with local regulations and addressed concerns about potential traffic impacts on neighboring properties. The council members showed support for the business, highlighting the need for revitalization in the area. A motion to approve the business permit was unanimously passed.

In addition to the business permit, the council reviewed Resolution 2025-9, which pertains to the interlocal cooperation agreement between Juab County and Mona City for the administration of the 2025 elections. The council noted that there are currently 1,147 registered voters in Mona, which is significantly lower than the estimated population. This prompted discussions about encouraging voter registration. The resolution was also approved unanimously.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to fostering local business development and ensuring effective election administration in the community. The next steps include the implementation of the new business and efforts to increase voter registration ahead of the upcoming elections.
