Mona staff outlines 200 North waterline replacement, Main Street reconstruction timeline and street‑light options
Summary
Public works staff reviewed the timeline, funding and next steps for a 200 North water‑line replacement and Main Street reconstruction project tied to CIB funding, and introduced a Rocky Mountain Power street‑lighting application and estimated monthly fees.
Public works staff briefed the Mona council on April 22 about several upcoming infrastructure projects, including a 200 North water‑line replacement, Main Street reconstruction and a potential street‑lighting program with Rocky Mountain Power.
Staff said they recently secured CIB (Community Infrastructure Board) funding for the 200 North water line and submitted an application for a reconstruction project. "We got the 200 reconstruction, which the application was put into the to you dot the JHC. That's a couple years out. That's actually 2027 is in the dates on that application," staff said, describing a multi‑year timeline and the risk that CIB could withdraw funding if projects don't start in six months after contract signature.
On project cost, staff said the CID/CIB application listed an estimated total of $361,000 for the 200 North project, with $261,000 from the grant and $100,000 from the city. Staff suggested assembling design and bid packages now so the city can evaluate actual bids; if bids allow, staff recommended completing water and pavement work together rather than staging.
Staff also presented preliminary street‑lighting information from Rocky Mountain Power, noting the utility will install lights under an agreement while the city would pay installation and ongoing power fees. "You're about $12 a month per light for your power fee," staff said for a functional (level‑2) light; councilmembers discussed an initial plan for about 13 lights staggered along Main Street.
Councilmembers directed staff to check grant contract documents and to prepare design and bid packages; staff said they will follow up with a proposal letter and coordinate with the city engineer and grant administrator to meet any contract deadlines.
Why it matters: The water‑line replacement and street reconstruction will affect traffic, pavement condition and water reliability for residents along 200 North and Main Street. Timing and sequencing will determine whether pavement is replaced now or later and whether grant funds remain available.
