Council approves payment of listed bills, continues scheduled utility payment and hears updates on roads and water meters
Summary
The council authorized payment of current bills (including pending Enbridge and Frontier invoices), voted to continue monthly utility payments to maintain account standing, heard a roads update on CrackSeal work and discussed a potential radio‑read water meter pilot and source‑protection notices.
The Meadow Town Council voted to pay the bills presented at the meeting — including pending Enbridge and Frontier invoices — and approved continuing a recurring monthly payment to cover an outstanding Utah Association of Fairs (UAF) bill. Staff also updated the council on recent road CrackSeal work and described an upcoming quote for radio‑read water meters.
In the accounting report, staff listed several recent charges: ChemTech quoted about $60 for water samples; Enbridge gas charges and Frontier phone charges were noted as pending; power for the town was listed at $11,554.97 for January; Sunrise Engineering invoiced $555 for various inspections; and the town’s annual Utah Water Users Association dues were $100. The council made and seconded a motion to include the pending Enbridge and Frontier bills in the payment run; the motion passed after an "Aye" vote.
Councilors also approved continuing a monthly payment arrangement to keep the UAF account current. "We have been, for months now, making a motion to pay the UAF's bill," the chair said; a motion to continue that arrangement passed unanimously by voice vote.
Public works updates: the road department reported crews laid four tons of CrackSeal on North, Center and South Streets from the east end down to Main Street and most of Fourth East, with additional sections deferred. The department said the work cost and final invoice were pending; officials estimated the town could complete remaining streets within two years depending on budget and seasonal conditions.
Water department staff said they will send source protection letters to owners of empty lots after cross‑checking recorder records. Staff also reported Mountainland has offered to provide a quote for radio‑read water meters (a transmitter on meter caps that transmits consumption data). Officials said some other central Utah communities found grants to offset such conversions and that the technology can help detect leaks and conserve water. Town staff will return with a formal quote and additional information if the vendor proceeds.
No new ordinances or contracts were approved during these reports; the council’s actions were limited to routine bill payments and administrative follow‑ups.
