The council adopted Ordinance 2025-3, prohibiting unsanctioned camping on city property. The ordinance was presented to the council as consistent with cited Utah statutes and passed after a roll-call vote.
Council members ratified the purchase of a cemetery lawn mower after staff explained the existing mower frame split. The council also approved the purchase of standardized road-address signs and asked staff to return with cost details for other nonroad signage.
