- Rocky Mountain Power easement (Resolution 2025-024): The council authorized the mayor to sign a 10-foot-by-10-foot underground right-of-way easement (approximately 0.002 acres) for Rocky Mountain Power at the Monson Well and booster pump site, located near 100 North and 950 East. Counsel explained the easement is needed because existing power infrastructure must be moved outside the company’s current easement. Councilmember Anderson moved to approve; Councilmember Rogers seconded. A roll-call vote recorded Williams, Rogers, Lamon, Jensen and Anderson voting yes; the motion carried.

- Noise-exception permit for Follow the Flag (July events): The council approved a temporary exception to the city’s noise ordinance to allow musical performances to exceed certain decibel limits until 11 p.m. on July 12–13, 2025, for the Follow the Flag event at 1550 North 100 East. Staff noted the request is recurring, that organizers must provide 24-hour notice to adjacent residents, and that the extension accounts for performance and cleanup time. Councilmember Ramon moved to approve; Councilmember Jensen seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote.

- Grove Commons Plat D subdivision (preliminary commercial plat): The council approved a two-lot preliminary commercial subdivision (Grove Commons Plat D) on about 1.375 acres at approximately 1809 West State Street, dividing an existing lot into two commercial parcels. The item was a plat approval only; no site plan or building proposals were before the council. Councilmember Williams moved to approve; Councilmember Anderson seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote.

- Redevelopment Agency (RDA) and Local Building Authority (LBA) budgets: Both the Pleasant Grove City Redevelopment Agency and the Local Building Authority held public hearings and adopted their final FY2026 budgets. Board members voted in favor of the respective resolutions. No substantive changes were made from the drafts previously reviewed by board members.

The council noted that these items were routine and primarily procedural; staff will complete ministerial paperwork (signatures, recording easement documents, and executing plats) and notify affected parties as required.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Pleasant Grove City City Council Meeting 6/24/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Pleasant Grove council approved several largely procedural items by unanimous votes: a small easement for Rocky Mountain Power at the Monson Well site; a noise exception for a July event; a two-lot commercial subdivision (Grove Commons Plat D); and adopted RDA and LBA budgets.","taxTitle","Pleasant Grove, Utah County, Utah","taxId",4710,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657765,"Residents press city on armory overgrowth and repeated water-line breaks during public comment",2970,175000,3145000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5066568-41b91fe59fb0d8aa5328c3606836d12f&start=175&end=3145","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5066568-41b91fe59fb0d8aa5328c3606836d12f/thumbnail_175000.jpg","/articles/6657765/Pleasant-Grove/Utah-County/Utah/Residents-press-city-on-armory-overgrowth-and-repeated-water-line-breaks-during-public-comment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657765-531b3b7c10762921f8dba05003c252b3/orig.mp4?Expires=1776080012&Signature=cM4z00cMVhvsYXxOHX~4TcrJnzrd3cXIEzvCeLT3APSNGTvQVWNEuxanZF9Z3xX67hCP3BIHvXjbofHX9CbYOt8WMVwkhXqvESimKGoXlw4RMTvUAyc6Fqt5owUUUBwAqLcJlzr6SO3tvlBCNkYqmqc232IMfnsvSV-LGM3bmTOsVl3KIquQYlvCMWpx63~VFwRw0tqSLAkwv7Nh2wAShShReZc1JpbP939cOPqt9wdoGKH4EmPMHPx9b~TX92DAdxQSvR3N1DA0tDFVQMcQsVd-mgBW222d2hJ9zMRwvDqN0djaohmJW~6BuR~5FcCRnIh5qtt4zOs-zl2CATfXkw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","During the council’s public-comment period, Aaron Loosely told the council an overgrown area around the armory has been a long-standing nuisance. \"That overgrowth bugs the heck out of me,\" Loosely said, describing persistent weeds and brush that have caused debris and tire damage near sidewalks.

A second, unnamed resident described repeated water-line breaks on his street, saying his neighborhood had experienced three breaks at a single location and suggesting the city consider doing work in-house rather than relying on outside contractors. \"We're probably spending a ton on our repairs...it's just band aids,\" the resident said, urging the city to explore whether local crews could reduce repair costs and response times.

In response during the council and city-administrator remarks, staff said the armory property is federal and has not been declared surplus; the city has been pursuing acquisition options but the property remains under federal control. The administrator said staff will reengage with the federal property contact and direct code enforcement to issue notices to the property owner requesting cleanup if needed.

City staff confirmed the recent water breaks were handled by the streets/water crews and that some warranty or contractor work can apply depending on the problem; staff advised residents to contact Public Works for case-specific follow-up.

Councilmembers and staff thanked residents for raising the issues and said the city would follow up with code enforcement and Public Works to address immediate maintenance and to continue conversations about longer-term options for the armory site.","At the June 24 council meeting, a resident asked the city to address an overgrown armory site; another attendee described repeated water-line breaks on a neighborhood street and urged the city to consider in-house repair capacity to reduce recurring repairs.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657770,"Pleasant Grove adopts $2026 budget, sets certified tax rate at 0.000962",1145,1163000,2308000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5066568-41b91fe59fb0d8aa5328c3606836d12f&start=1163&end=2308","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5066568-41b91fe59fb0d8aa5328c3606836d12f/thumbnail_1163000.jpg","/articles/6657770/Pleasant-Grove/Utah-County/Utah/Pleasant-Grove-adopts-2026-budget-sets-certified-tax-rate-at-0000962","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657770-3b394f2d6c91f72b7483e151bf5249fb/orig.mp4?Expires=1776080012&Signature=B~-3P5EIHot-HsP86s7VzDGLKI0HP6nAQzwsPyRp8YF2Y-GS5S84kWO2R8Tf585VZxDBXdFxsxuewz~Fr28aUn5EvA6RpkqFyAgxM0nzhRGbYv~T-kyodGm6YhmvddKaab6WsFPaStyaPxsw5Mih0oRZuZJbjemV~n5sMZYeP1gt1CBJHfljdbLvvWn8vBvZrJ5l-gJFcUTnv8xeIYl1xpWlNdTeDfZXukalfH4RWOMpBMa4BsS4iPhFEd9QR8Oawj9AnO5p6LO7a1aMHGFsXXSHbLzmFAchUbboaS1sE2Tv0hgI~UCQHJlQ-YEdrcukFauHMpw5axwu1CsrTS3rXg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pleasant Grove’s City Council unanimously adopted the city’s final budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025, and set the certified tax rate at 0.000962 on June 24.

Director Roy presented the budget document and described estimates for fund balances, enterprise funds and the general fund. He told the council the general fund is projected to end fiscal 2026 with roughly $4 million in fund balance, placing the city at approximately 14–15% of operating revenues — comfortably above the 5% state minimum and below the 35% upper limit discussed in state guidance.

\"Fund balance is monies that we have available in that fund…if it shows that it's unassigned, it means that it's not allocated for anything,\" Director Roy said while explaining reserves. He pointed to sales tax as a primary revenue source, noting it accounts for about 51% of the city’s revenues and has grown slowly over recent years.

Council members praised the presentation and the city’s fiscal position. Councilmember Anderson and others emphasized that the budget preserves a rainy-day reserve and allows the city to undertake capital projects — including the Battle Creek Trailhead — while keeping the general fund reserve intact. The council discussed the transportation utility fund and staff noted an estimated balance of roughly $700,000 at fiscal year-end 2026 after planned spending.

After discussion, Councilmember Williams moved to adopt Resolution 2025-2023 adopting the final budget and certified tax rate; Councilmember Jansen seconded. A roll-call vote recorded Anderson, Rogers, Jansen, Lamone and Williams voting yes; the motion carried unanimously.

Councilmembers and staff said the budget reflects multi-year capital planning, continued roadwork funded by the transportation utility, and a measured approach to reserves. Staff also committed to producing a user-friendly budget summary and to meet with residents who request one-on-one budget explanations.

The council additionally approved capital-project allocations and confirmed continued oversight of ongoing reimbursable projects referenced in the budget documents.","After a detailed presentation and council discussion about fund balances, sales tax and capital projects, Pleasant Grove adopted its final FY2025–26 budget and certified a tax rate of 0.000962.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":91,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657774,"Pleasant Grove council amends rural-residential rules to shrink accessory-structure setback from 20 to 6 feet",626,537000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5066568-41b91fe59fb0d8aa5328c3606836d12f&start=537&end=1163","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5066568-41b91fe59fb0d8aa5328c3606836d12f/thumbnail_537000.jpg","/articles/6657774/Pleasant-Grove/Utah-County/Utah/Pleasant-Grove-council-amends-rural-residential-rules-to-shrink-accessory-structure-setback-from-20-to-6-feet","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657774-3133f33ca555bba5befc095b085b5410/orig.mp4?Expires=1776080012&Signature=LP-hR2yR8QNjPvsw5pgWhyvzx2y7-7YYy6g8xQhQtpoxjiOx-yBauJQ5bCUl1QzQRYKirqOY~p2Wsm1nMZ8jJEGs6WpANnJrNtW6mTA6DvMxoFmYq8otp3Q0LGVobRxKJ-pFnKXYUis~ftJgn28wcN7zr6h29LwyTpISWka-S697vsE~YfRMCLEpmD7g~0kDczZ5C0O~dYjar6AhG-3wO0cpgL~Nn9racGsxFhlL9tNMd9HTXQywdAppa1RMSAjEKPCe2ez1YE965GlwG1wFWiR0MITtvlhBLm0ZlK9te78soE4ela9zMEfsDe6PUYepYMRonqu1aDuXZIuK3grNTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pleasant Grove City Council on June 24 approved Kotek’s amendment to change yard requirements in the rural residential zone, reducing the minimum distance between a main dwelling and accessory structures from 20 feet to 6 feet for most uses.

The change applies in the rural residential zone for accessory buildings intended for human occupancy or typical accessory uses such as garages, shops and pool houses; accessory structures intended for animal or agricultural occupancy — for example, kennels or corrals — will retain the 20-foot setback.

Planning Director Carcinis presented aerial maps showing how rural-residential lots resemble single-family lots and explained the historical reason for the 20-foot setback: a blanket rule created when animal-related uses were allowed in the zone. \"The proposal is just to change the distance between the accessory building and the main dwelling…to go from 20 to 6,\" Carcinis said during the public hearing presentation. He said staff had denied multiple accessory-structure applications over the past months because they did not meet the 20-foot standard and that the planning staff and the planning commission supported the amendment.

Councilmember Limon moved to approve the amendment; Councilmember Anderson seconded. A roll-call vote recorded Lamone, Anderson, Jensen, Jansen, Williams and Rogers voting in favor. The motion carried unanimously.

Planning staff noted the change affects only the distance between the house and the accessory structure; other setbacks from property lines remain unchanged. The city will continue to enforce larger setbacks for accessory structures intended for animal-related uses.

No members of the public spoke during the hearing. The council closed the public hearing after the staff presentation and proceeded to vote on the ordinance amendment.

The amendment will be effective as provided by the city’s ordinance-adoption rules and will be reflected in the city code sections referenced in the proposal.

Councilmembers and staff said the change is intended to reduce the number of denied accessory-structure applications in the rural residential zone while preserving protections where animals are involved.","After a unanimous planning commission recommendation, the Pleasant Grove City Council approved an amendment to reduce the minimum distance between a house and accessory structures in the rural residential zone from 20 feet to 6 feet except where the structure will house animals or agricultural uses.","actionData","errors"]
