The Bluff Town Council convened for its regular meeting on August 19, 2025, addressing several key agenda items that included discussions on community projects and cemetery management.

The meeting commenced with a motion to approve a contract with Garrett Parks and Play for the installation of a playground at the Bluff Community Center. Council members expressed their support for the project, emphasizing the importance of completing it in a timely manner to save on costs. The motion was unanimously approved, with the advisory committee tasked to refine the budget details with the contractor.

Next on the agenda was a review of bids for mapping work at the Love Cemetery. Erin, a council member, reported challenges in communicating with one of the bidders, Century Mapping, but noted the significant cost difference between bids. After discussions about the importance of confirming the legitimacy of the lower bid, the council decided to proceed with Century Mapping, contingent upon receiving references from other towns where the company had completed similar work. The motion was passed unanimously.

The council then addressed a request from the Utah Department of Transportation regarding the removal of four flower boxes from the Cooperative Cultural Center grounds. Despite previous agreements, some council members expressed a willingness to allow the removal to maintain goodwill. A motion was proposed to set a deadline of September 15 for the boxes to be picked up, ensuring that the process would be organized and respectful of the council's time. The motion included stipulations for the removal to be conducted efficiently, with the council agreeing to facilitate the pickup.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to community development and maintaining positive relationships with local organizations. The next steps include finalizing the playground project and ensuring the cemetery mapping is initiated promptly.
