At the Sept. 23 regular meeting the Bountiful City Council voted to approve several procurement requests and routine items brought by city staff.
Quick summary of council action (all actions reported during the meeting were approved or accepted by the council without recorded opposition):
- Minutes: The council approved minutes for Aug. 26 and Sept. 9, 2025. A motion and second were recorded and the motion passed.
- Expenditures: The council approved expenditures greater than $1,000 paid on the third and tenth (date range as presented). A motion, second and affirmative vote carried the item.
- Police exterior lighting upgrade: Lieutenant David Gill and staff presented a request to replace failing exterior fixtures at the Bountiful Police Department. Gill said the facility is “approaching 30 years of service” and that many bollard lights were failing or posed safety risks. After competitive bids staff recommended Vista Construction’s low bid of $123,028.81. A councilmember moved to accept the Vista Construction bid and another councilmember seconded; the council approved the purchase as presented. The staff report noted sufficient funding in the fiscal‑year 2026 budget.
- Power department cable purchase: Power Department Director Alan Johnson reported on a planned cable purchase for the third feeder from the Northwest Substation. Staff and the Power Commission recommended accepting Irby’s low bid for 8,470 feet of AMT cable at $110,058; the council approved the purchase. Johnson said the cable has a 40‑year guarantee and will be placed into inventory for installation in the spring.
- Service-body purchase for line crews: Johnson also presented a request to buy a specialized service body for a line crew vehicle. Staff recommended Mountain States Industrial Services’ bid for a service body at $57,484 (the chassis/truck will be purchased separately). The council approved the purchase. Staff noted the cost is within the power‑department budget and that final truck outfitting would follow.
Votes reported in the meeting transcript did not include roll-call tallies by name for all items; council members recorded “Aye” on each motion and no opposition was announced.
Ending: The council concluded the meeting after approving the items above and several routine matters.
