Tooele County Council approves contract extension, Solid Waste building purchase and several appointments
Summary
At its Oct. 21 meeting the Tooele County Council approved a contract extension, accepted a low bid for a new Solid Waste water-system building, approved a line-item transfer, and appointed two members to the audit committee.
The Tooele County Council on Oct. 21 approved routine consent items, a contract extension, a Solid Waste building purchase, and two audit-committee appointments.
Contract extension Peter Clegg, participating online, presented a request to extend an existing contract. He said the extension request equates to "32 months, a $100,000 a quarter, be roughly a million" as discussed in the meeting record. The council moved to approve the contract extension; Councilman Thomas made the motion and Councilman Stromberg seconded. The voice vote was recorded as unanimous.
Solid Waste: new water system building Wayne, a Solid Waste staff member, presented a request to purchase a new water-system building related to the county’s master plan for its water system and operations. Wayne said the building will house pressure tanks for the water system and allow the transfer station’s mechanic operations to move inside the building, freeing space for expansion of garbage handling. He said the county is taking in about 50,000 tons of waste in the year to date and noted new residential development could increase tonnage. Councilman Wardle moved to adopt the proposal for the Solid Waste new water-system building, noting the bid was the lowest; Councilman Hoffman seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
Line-item transfer (Ivapla Watershed grant) The council approved a line-item transfer to move funds from a special projects line into a dedicated account for the Ivapla Watershed smart grant. The meeting record contains a garbled figure when the amount was read aloud. The transcript does not provide a clear, verified dollar amount; staff should provide the official amount in the published minutes and budget documents.
Appointments to audit committee Councilman Stromberg presented an application from Jesse Wilson and recommended his appointment to the audit committee; the council confirmed the appointment with a unanimous vote. Councilman Wardle presented Jonathan Mitchell for the audit committee; that appointment also passed unanimously. Both appointees’ terms and contact follow-ups were noted by council members.
Other routine items The council approved the minutes of Oct. 7 and the check registry by voice vote. The consent agenda included the items above and was adopted.
Ending All motions passed by unanimous voice votes; staff will provide formal documentation (contract amendments and official line-item transfer amounts) in the records and follow up with newly appointed audit committee members to complete onboarding.
