The presiding official said they contacted Tyler Stewart, identified in the meeting as the president or chief of the irrigation board, who stated that debris removed from the ditch is the irrigation company’s responsibility to clean up and that cleanup may take one to several days.

The presiding official quoted Tyler Stewart as saying that if debris “comes out of the ditch, it belongs to the irrigation company” and that the company would work to clean it up. Council members said Stewart described the issue as typically short-term and said he expected the company to remove piles quickly.

The council noted that while debris coming directly from the ditch is the irrigation company’s responsibility, if the irrigation company places debris in the town right-of-way then the town and the irrigation company would need to coordinate on removal. The presiding official said he has not observed large, persistent piles while driving around town and that he will work with Camille (the town mower/operator) to give the irrigation company notice before mowing so any residual debris can be removed first.

No formal enforcement action was taken at the meeting; the council’s response was to coordinate with the irrigation company and monitor the situation. The council did not specify timelines beyond the irrigation representative’s statement that cleanup may take a day or two or three.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","09.15.2025 Town Council - 09.15.25 Part 3","oneSentenceSummary","Council reported follow-up with Tyler Stewart of the irrigation board, who said debris removed from irrigation ditches is the irrigation company’s responsibility to clean up; the council plans to coordinate with the company and town mower to avoid obstructions in the right-of-way.","taxTitle","Meadow, Millard County, Utah","taxId",80004,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":50,"_51":81,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":82,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":83,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6469408,"Meadowtown reviews business-license rules; clerk reminded to send delinquency notices",328,137000,465000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5783194-e3b9f7fbce1919ec6cd1eff41946bc2f&start=137&end=465","/articles/6469408/Meadow/Millard-County/Utah/Meadowtown-reviews-business-license-rules-clerk-reminded-to-send-delinquency-notices","Council members reviewed Title 3 of Meadowtown’s municipal code, which governs business licenses, renewals and revocation procedures, and discussed enforcement practices.

The council noted that business license applications must list the applicant’s name, the kind of license sought, the business or profession and the location where the business will operate. Most licenses carry a $20 fee; daily permits for circuses or athletic/acrobatic performances were cited as $5 in the ordinance text the council read. The council discussed that a single license covers one location and that partnerships or multiple business activities at the same address generally pay one license fee per location.

Council members reviewed renewal timing and penalties: licenses are due Jan. 1 and become delinquent if not renewed by Feb. 1, at which point a 10% late penalty applies. The transcript shows the town clerk, Monica, said she ordinarily sends delinquency notices in February but acknowledged that mailing notices does not always produce timely renewals.

The council also reviewed display and recordkeeping requirements—licenses must be displayed in a conspicuous place at the business location and records are to be maintained by the town clerk. The ordinance provides that the council may hold a hearing and revoke a license if a business is “kept or conducted in an illegal, disorderly or ill governed manner”; the ordinance requires a three-day notice for revocation hearings and states that, once revoked, an applicant must wait six months before applying again.

Councilmembers said they will continue a broader ordinance review project and may identify ordinances for revision; the council has not yet asked the town attorney to conduct a formal legal review. No formal motion or legal referral was made at the meeting.","Council reviewed Title 3 (Business and license regulation) provisions including required application information, typical fees, renewal deadlines, delinquency penalties and revocation procedures; clerk said delinquency notices are usually sent.",{"_33":85,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":86,"_41":87,"_43":88,"_45":89,"_47":90,"_49":50,"_51":91,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":92,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":93,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6469414,"Meadowtown council cancels Nov. 4 election, declares three unopposed candidates elected",587,418000,1005000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5783194-e3b9f7fbce1919ec6cd1eff41946bc2f&start=418&end=1005","/articles/6469414/Meadow/Millard-County/Utah/Meadowtown-council-cancels-Nov-4-election-declares-three-unopposed-candidates-elected","The Meadowtown Town Council on a verbal roll-call vote adopted a resolution to cancel the Nov. 4, 2025 municipal election and declared unopposed candidates elected to the town’s mayor and two council seats.

The resolution, read during the council’s September meeting, names Gary Bishop as mayor and Jim Bexran and Robert H. Bexran as elected to the two vacant council seats. The resolution cites Title 20A-1-206 of the Utah Election Code as authority and directs the clerk to send certified copies to the county clerk and the lieutenant governor’s office.

Council members said the resolution was necessary because, as of the filing deadline stated in the resolution, the named candidates were unopposed and no qualifying write-in candidates had filed. The text the council read states that, “as of 5 PM [06/06/2025], the deadline for filing for a place on the ballot, each person whose name is to appear on the ballot is unopposed,” and that no write-in candidates had qualified by the later deadline cited in the resolution.

In a verbal roll call the council recorded affirmative responses from Councilman Channingstad, Councilmember Sonny Gillis and Councilmember Jim Beckstrand; Councilmember Justin Jensen was absent. The mayor recorded a vote in the affirmative. The council then directed the clerk to submit the resolution to the Miller County Clerk and the lieutenant governor’s office as required by the resolution text.

The council did not take further action on contested races because, according to the resolution, none were on the ballot for these offices. The resolution as adopted includes the names and the certification language read into the record; the document will be filed with the county and state offices named in the resolution.","The Meadowtown governing body adopted a resolution under Utah election code to cancel the November 2025 municipal election and declare unopposed candidates elected to mayor and two council seats; a verbal roll-call vote passed the resolution.","actionData","errors"]
