The Tooele City Council convened on July 16, 2025, to discuss several significant resolutions aimed at improving local infrastructure and services. Key topics included amendments to zoning codes, water well projects, and roadway improvements.

One of the primary discussions involved the approval of Ordinance 2025-22, which amends the Tooele City Code regarding twin homes and single-family residential zones. The council unanimously passed this ordinance, highlighting the importance of clear definitions in property classifications to prevent delays in real estate transactions.

The council also approved Resolution 2025-61, which ratifies a contract with Hydro Resources Rocky Mountain Inc. for the drilling of two test wells as part of the 2025 Tooele City Wells Project. The contract, valued at approximately $2.5 million, aims to enhance the city's water supply, with plans to convert one of the test wells into a production well.

Another significant resolution, 2025-62, was passed to approve a local agency betterment agreement with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) for improvements at the intersection of 600 West and SR 112. The city will contribute $85,003.94 towards the installation of a permanent traffic signal and other enhancements, which are expected to improve safety and traffic flow in the area.

Additionally, the council approved Resolution 2025-65 for SCADA system upgrades to Well 12, which is currently out of service. This upgrade, costing $45,004.42, aims to improve communication and operational efficiency of the city's water system.

Lastly, Resolution 2025-66 was approved to engage JUB Engineers, Inc. for the design of solar dryer improvements at the water reclamation facility. This project, estimated at $593,300, is part of a broader effort to enhance the facility's capabilities and ensure compliance with environmental standards.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to advancing infrastructure projects that support the city's growth and improve the quality of life for residents. The approved resolutions will facilitate essential upgrades and expansions in water management and transportation systems, with construction expected to begin in the coming months.
