Chief Brown (fire chief) said the new inspector has allowed the department to increase inspections by about 15–20 extra inspections per week and will help the city catch up on restaurant hood and spring-system inspections that had lagged. The chief described the planned October event as a three-hour, family-oriented demonstration featuring a state trailer for smoke/safety training, hands-on displays, a mascot (Sparky) and take-home materials.

The department said it will circulate date and details in the city newsletter and welcome volunteer support from students or community groups.

Tina (staff member) said the proposed lease includes an initial payment of $4,000 for entering the contract and an annual escalation of 4 percent — an increase from the 2–3 percent escalation the company initially proposed. Tina also told the council that city attorneys in Utah County have coordinated a template for such cell-tower leases so cities can compare negotiated terms and avoid low initial offers.

Staff said the city currently has three cell installations at Discovery Park. Tina said the wireless company initially sent an older draft with outdated numbers and that the city and neighboring jurisdictions intend to use a consistent template so municipalities are aware when better terms are negotiated elsewhere.

The item was described as a single agenda matter for the council’s regular meeting; the work session did not include a formal council vote on the lease.","A proposed lease would allow a wireless company to construct a cell facility on a ballfield light pole at Discovery Park; staff said the draft includes a $4,000 initial payment and a 4% annual increase in rent.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6494634,"Council discusses downtown lighting rollout and consultant timeline",289,1142000,1431000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5780246-206bb0fb4931dd8974357fbe6cfb25b8&start=1142&end=1431","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5780246-206bb0fb4931dd8974357fbe6cfb25b8/thumbnail_1142000.jpg","/articles/6494634/Pleasant-Grove/Utah-County/Utah/Council-discusses-downtown-lighting-rollout-and-consultant-timeline","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6494634-37616236872e3dbe1001523011be01ad/orig.mp4?Expires=1773643722&Signature=idI~U-ZwFePsY-2Aor~HdNFCbdEu6AzzubR6WQR~17PvH-ipDd0Vhsmsw-rYSj29LYyHS~halocDkW6YpgJLfVGwTarHlXsfvOX4BJfdbw8OnZEZnzRuKGx1vYMTGmS2j-Gi~IhzMwh6RF9Q9c~kW0w7HvZnK-LM1Nm7-fLX6~cGzqlG6YZs6tR~EvH6TM0exj9LP2bfUJCA75HMiHq-AfbOlFudrIgSiS0Z7dlZobMkQ90uAMxw1lPE0O01JAMaqiwhEO-dq8n5uQ~M3XKdHMBUoOvpSCdypikt6tAsPu30~DCj5n9nEmVQdxpQh8GlXFMRN0UqL-a13-Rd~XghiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pleasant Grove council members and staff used the Sept. 16 work session to discuss how a near-term downtown lighting purchase should be coordinated with a longer-term downtown planning consultant.

Neil (staff member) told the council that new lights have been ordered and could be available for installation beginning Dec. 1, though he cautioned it may be too late for a full holiday-season finish. Several council members said they wanted the consultant’s plan to “be aware that there’s a construction project” so the consultant can coordinate placement, base type and future parking or curb changes.

Council members noted the consultant’s scope and schedule — staff said the consultant engagement will take roughly six months to a year and will include stakeholder outreach — and discussed whether to delay the light installation until the consultant’s recommendations, or to proceed and adapt the consultant’s plan to the new fixtures. One council member said moving lights later into a bulb-out or parking change would not be “a catastrophic cost,” and staff said moving power to a new pole location is feasible if needed.

Staff recommended proceeding with the light purchase and integrating the installation details into the consultant’s work so that both shorter-term and long-range goals align. The council did not set a separate vote at the work session but asked staff to keep the consultant informed as plans advance.","Council members and staff discussed ordering new downtown light fixtures and coordinating that installation with a longer-term downtown planning consultant.

Neil (staff member) said “we have some large projects wrapping up,” and described a nearly finished lake-channel and a major storm-drain outfall tied to what he called an AF diversion structure. He told the council that after the irrigation season ends in mid-October crews will complete meter-related work associated with the diversion.

The staff update listed several street and drainage projects that are active or scheduled: 1520 West (utilities work and repaving, with paving anticipated in the next few weeks), 2800 North (storm-drain work off 900 West), Windsong and Murdoch (final surface work), 1550 East (planned October paving), and the long 500 East repaving effort. Neil also said the city added an emergency generator at the recreation center to provide emergency water during extended power outages.

On water metering, staff said the advanced meter (PI meter) program is partially implemented and work remains to import roughly half the new meter data into the billing system; staff expects full operational integration “in the next few months.” Neil described the metering effort as a “big, big, $10,000,000 project,” and framed it as part of the broader $50 million investment in community infrastructure.

Looking ahead, Neil said 800 North (from 1300 West to North County Boulevard) and 680 West are on next year’s plan list, and the city is completing design work on a Battle Creek (Kiwanis) parking-lot expansion. He also noted the 4000 North estimate has risen since its 2020 concept and that property and budget issues remain to finalize before bidding in spring.

The council asked about operations for generators (storage and monthly exercise runs) and whether fuel would be stored on site; staff replied fuel will be stored with the generator and rotated by scheduled runs. Staff also said the Battle Creek parking-lot work is a full redesign to expand single-car and trailer parking, with construction currently targeted for completion around Memorial Day (design, bid and construction dependent).

The update emphasized ongoing maintenance work across neighborhoods and concluded with staff noting the city is beginning planning for next year’s work while finishing current contracts and closeouts.","City staff told the council the city is completing multiple infrastructure projects — stormwater outfall work, several street repavings and a citywide meter installation — and expects some construction to finish this fall with additional work planned next year.","actionData","errors"]
