Speakers described vehicles traveling at high speeds on streets including First West and Third South (and nearby Center Street), particularly around shift-change times for local employers. Council discussion recommended increased county police presence in the short term, installation of stop signs or “no through traffic” signage where legally permissible, and placement of speed-limit signs on identified blocks. Several councilmembers encouraged residents to document offenses — including photographic evidence and license plates — to support formal complaints and possible court appearances.

Councilmembers also discussed short-term and longer-term actions: contacting the county sheriff’s office to request targeted patrols during shift times, exploring placement of speed and stop signage, and installing video or camera monitoring at problem locations if feasible. No new ordinance or enforcement contract was approved; the council directed staff to pursue coordination with law enforcement and return with options.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","June 11th town Council - New Recording 25","oneSentenceSummary","Residents and councilmembers raised repeated concerns about speeding on several town streets.

The council said it had been approved for a seminary grant and will meet with stakeholders on July 22 to begin work with local volunteers and officials. Council members said the cemetery kiosk will be updated and that the tourism bureau will assist with a revamped town billboard and signage. A local contractor from Cleveland is offering metal silhouette pieces (horses and a train) for siting near the rest stop and kiosks; the council discussed potential placement and maintenance considerations.

Separately, town staff reported repeated dumping of wood and tires near the cemetery burn area and dumpster. The council said it intends to relocate or install a gate, add signage, and install cameras to deter illegal dumping; staff indicated they can move or add a gate and will construct fence posts to secure it. Councilmembers also discussed storing donated items — a stove and refrigerator — in a town shop for eventual use at the old church building.

No formal resolutions were recorded on the cemetery items; remarks described coordination among staff, volunteers and outside partners and outlined next steps for installation of signage, cameras and kiosk updates.","Council members reported a seminary grant award, plans to update the cemetery kiosk and signage, and measures to control dumping and lock cemetery gates.

Council members said they would meet with county staff to review the planned installation. The grant, as described in meeting remarks, will provide the library with equipment to “shoot” a signal to the rec center; town staff said cameras can be installed at the rec center provided there is sufficient power at the chosen locations.

The council indicated a staff member (Jeff Gunton) will meet with local officials to demonstrate the equipment and site plans. No formal vote or contract award was recorded in the transcript; council discussion focused on coordinating the installation and confirming power availability at the rec center.","Council members said a county grant will fund extending internet from the town library to the recreation center, and the sheriff's office will donate two cameras to be installed at the rec center pending power availability.",{"_33":95,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":96,"_41":97,"_43":98,"_45":99,"_47":100,"_49":50,"_51":101,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":102,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":103,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6544001,"Emery council approves budgets, insurance changes and routine items; stipend increase tabled",1801,86000,1887000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5031110-7b01a1ecbaef83ae2e53e932b10e0f08&start=86&end=1887","/articles/6544001/Utah/Emery-council-approves-budgets-insurance-changes-and-routine-items-stipend-increase-tabled","Emery — The Emery Town Council approved a series of routine administrative items on the agenda Tuesday night, including the minutes from May 14, payment of town bills, acceptance of an employee insurance plan change, and the 2025 and 2026 municipal budgets. A proposal to raise the mayor and council monthly stipends was discussed but tabled for a later meeting.

Councilmembers voted on multiple procedural motions early in the meeting. The council approved the May 14 minutes, authorized payment of bills, agreed to a change in a staff member’s health benefit cost-sharing so that that employee (Rick) will pick up the increased portion, and accepted several insurance rate increases including worker’s compensation. The council then moved to amend and approve the 2025 budget and later approved the proposed 2026 budget with the addition of a $1,000 line item for animal control.

The stipend proposal drew discussion but was not placed on the agenda for formal action. Council members said the increase should be included as part of the budget process and that the matter will be addressed at a future reading.
