Votes at a glance: Santaquin City Council actions, April 15, 2025
Summary
Council approved several items April 15 including a social media policy update, the municipal wastewater planning report, a Main Street residential density ordinance, and consent agenda items; this roundup lists each motion, outcome and key details recorded in the meeting.
The Santaquin City Council approved multiple routine and policy items during its regular meeting on April 15. Key votes and short details are below.
Consent agenda: The council approved the consent agenda, which included approval of the April 1 work session minutes, the March 29–April 11 city expenditures totaling $537,562.03, an out‑of‑state training request for the fire department, and a surplus property item. A motion to approve the consent agenda was made and seconded and recorded as passed.
Resolution 406 — Social media policy update: The council approved Resolution 406 to adopt an updated social media policy. Staff said the existing policy was 11 years old and required updates to reflect current practice. The motion passed after being moved and seconded.
Municipal wastewater planning program report: The council approved the annual municipal wastewater planning program report, a state‑mandated annual resolution that documents facility operation and compliance. Staff noted the report is available online and said it includes details required by the state.
Ordinance 0404 — Main Street residential density adjustments: The council approved Ordinance 0404 amending city code to update multifamily density and lot requirements for the Main Street Residential (MSR) area of the Main Street Business District. Staff said the change would allow a maximum of eight units per acre in MSR and that only a small number of lots are affected by the change. The meeting record notes that the change is “in principle” aligned with state housing goals but is not part of the city’s moderate income housing plan and therefore would not automatically receive state plan credit.
Other votes and actions: Earlier in the meeting the council approved Resolution 408 (see separate item) and a purchase authorization for recreation buildings (see separate item). The council also heard staff reports on building permits (17 new residential dwelling units this calendar year vs. 97 at the same time last year; fiscal‑year residential building unit counts were discussed) and infrastructure projects including Main Street construction and the CUP project’s anticipated testing period.
Votes (as recorded in the meeting): - Consent agenda: motion passed (aye votes recorded from multiple councilmembers present). - Resolution 406 (social media policy update): motion passed (ayes recorded). - Municipal wastewater planning program report: motion passed (ayes recorded). - Ordinance 0404 (Main Street density): motion passed (ayes recorded: Bridal, Art, Jeff, Minh, Travis). - Ordinance 0405 (parking, listed above): motion passed (see separate article). - Resolution 408 (Orchards amendment) and Roper Buildings purchase: motions passed (see separate articles for details).
What to watch next: Staff indicated Main Street paving may be completed in the paving season (possibly by July) and that the CUP project expects system testing early next calendar year. The recreation building procurement will be followed by site planning and any necessary budget amendments.
