An event organizer told the council the Spook Alley and other Halloween activities — trunk-or-treat, games and a donut booth — will take place at the ballpark by the middle school and that the Spook Alley route will be inside the pavilion. The organizer asked for permission to run the Spook Alley until 11 p.m., which would extend past the city’s typical ordinance cutoff.

Council members consented, with staff noting that the event will generate noise and that the city would respond to any complaints. The organizer said props will include a chainsaw effect and that organizers understood the need to manage noise and neighborhood impacts.

The meeting record shows council consent but no formal ordinance waiver, permit number, additional conditions, or recorded vote. Staff and council members referenced the location as “North Dutch Springs” and the middle-school ballpark; no insurance, street-closure, or safety plan details were discussed in the meeting transcript.

Organizers were advised to proceed and to expect the city to field any complaints; the council did not set special conditions or require additional paperwork during the session.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","Moroni City Council Meeting - 2025 9 19 council","oneSentenceSummary","A resident requested permission for a 'Spook Alley' event to run until 11 p.m. at the middle-school ballpark pavilion; the council consented, noting potential noise and complaint procedures.","taxTitle","Moroni, Sanpete County, Utah","taxId",80054,"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},6462006,"Council retains Jones & DeMille for on-call planning services; $3,500 budget line discussed",1248,599755,1848630,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5812433-dc13c58f4ca14358252d8b5432001445&start=599&end=1848","/articles/6462006/Moroni/Sanpete-County/Utah/Council-retains-Jones-DeMille-for-on-call-planning-services-3500-budget-line-discussed","Brunei City Council voted Sept. 19 to retain Jones & DeMille for on-call planning services to help the city keep ordinances and planning tasks current.

Staff described the contract as an on-call arrangement: the firm would perform a range of planning and engineering services on an hourly basis under work orders. The council discussed hourly-rate examples presented by the firms: the transcript cited a planner 3 at $146 per hour and a planner 4 at $161 per hour in one firms’ sample work release; earlier discussion referenced a range from roughly $115 to $160 per hour depending on level of staff assigned. Council members compared Jones & DeMille’s rates and proximity with a competing firm, Sunrise Engineering.

Council members also discussed a $3,500 line in the city budget associated with planning services. Staff clarified that the $3,500 figure represents an estimated amount budgeted for initial services; the firms would bill monthly for actual hours worked under work orders, and the city would not automatically forfeit unused funds. Councilors asked whether the amount functions as a retainer; staff said the agreement would be structured so work is invoiced monthly and adjustments can be negotiated in subsequent work releases.

After discussion of familiarity with prior planner Devon Fowles (who moved to a different firm) and the merits of the two firms, a motion to retain Jones & DeMille was made and seconded. The council approved the motion by voice vote; the meeting record does not show a roll-call tally for this item.

Staff said the arrangement will allow the city to address state legislative changes and ordinance updates on an ongoing basis and that the city will re-evaluate the arrangement annually if needed. The motion did not specify a contract number, precise maximum value beyond the budgeted $3,500 estimate, or a signed work-order schedule at the meeting.","Brunei City Council approved a contract for on-call planning services with Jones & DeMille, discussed hourly rates and a $3,500 budget line intended to cover initial services; members clarified billing and retainer questions.",{"_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},6462011,"Council accepts lowest bid for cemetery sprinkler project",546,44255,590735,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5812433-dc13c58f4ca14358252d8b5432001445&start=44&end=590","/articles/6462011/Moroni/Sanpete-County/Utah/Council-accepts-lowest-bid-for-cemetery-sprinkler-project","Brunei City Council voted Sept. 19 to accept the lowest bid for a cemetery sprinkler-system project, awarding the work to DJT Solutions for $36,500.

The vote followed a formal bid opening. City staff presented three bids received Sept. 15: DJT Solutions at $36,500; SRP Landscaping at $84,500; and Leighton Landscaping at $114,696.45. Council discussion compared the low bid’s narrower line-item description — listed only as a “sprinkler system and mainline install” — with higher bids that included gravel, weed fabric, multiple zones, drains and winterization features.

City staff said all three companies visited the site together before submitting bids. Council members and staff discussed whether the low bid covered the same scope as the higher proposals and whether anticipated change orders (for unseen conditions such as buried boulders) should be expected. A council member noted typical projects often generate change orders when crews encounter unexpected conditions.

After discussion, a motion to accept DJT Solutions’ $36,500 bid was made and seconded. The council conducted a roll call vote in which Sherry Green, Jake Bagley, Prestwich and Atkinson were recorded as voting in favor. The mayor or presiding officer announced the motion approved and the bids accepted.

City staff said the accepted contract will be managed consistent with the project scope and that change orders could be expected if unforeseen site conditions arise. No contract number or schedule was specified during the meeting.

The award completes the council’s bid-opening agenda item; staff indicated the city will use the accepted bid figure when talking with state officials about funding and next steps.

For follow-up, council members discussed monitoring change orders and allowances for unknowns in the work. No specific completion date or funding source was provided at the meeting.","Brunei City Council voted to accept a $36,500 bid from DJT Solutions to install a cemetery sprinkler system after a competitive bid opening; two higher bids were rejected.
