Summary
The council adopted four items by roll call: appointment to the Planning Commission, the municipal wastewater planning program, an updated budget committee charter, and fireworks restrictions for the summer season.
At its April 9 meeting the Alta Town Council took several formal actions on routine agenda items. The council passed all four items by roll call votes; discussion on each item preceded each vote.
Summary of formal actions

Roll call: Mayor Burke — "Aye"; Council member Schilling — "Yes"; Council member Morgan — "Yes"; Council member Burn — "Yes"; Council member Ansell — "Yes." Motion passed.
- Municipal wastewater planning program: The council adopted the 2024 municipal wastewater planning program report, which summarizes the collection system condition, projected capital needs and rate analysis. The motion to adopt passed by voice/roll call: all voting members present voted in favor; the clerk recorded the vote as "4 for 4." (Record shows unanimous approval among members present.)
- Budget committee charter update: The council adopted Resolution 20-25-R-7, updating the budget committee charter to add compensation strategy review to the committee’s responsibilities.
