Clawson council adopts power‑pole relocation resolution, approves LED streetlight upgrades and several purchases
Summary
At its meeting, the Clawson Town Council adopted a service‑district resolution allowing Utah Power & Light to relocate power poles at no cost to the town, approved conversion of streetlights to LED and approved several equipment purchases and routine bills.
The Clawson Town Council voted to adopt a service‑district resolution authorizing Utah Power & Light to relocate existing power poles and approved conversion of the town's streetlights to LED fixtures, along with several municipal purchases and routine bill payments.
Council members adopted Clawson Resolution 2025001, which the council described as the town's adoption of a previously drafted service‑district resolution allowing the utility to relocate poles where curb and sidewalk work has made current pole placement problematic. Council members said the relocation will be done under an existing agreement between the service district and Utah Power & Light and that the utility will be responsible for the work and cost.
The council also approved converting the town's streetlights to LED fixtures after reviewing a quote presented at the meeting. Council members discussed an estimated upfront cost in the neighborhood of $1,700 and an estimated annual operating savings of about $592, producing a return on investment of roughly three years, according to figures presented during the discussion. Councilors directed staff to proceed with the upgrade.
Members approved several routine and capital purchases discussed at the meeting. The council discussed options and prices for a cemetery storage unit and mowing equipment, including quoted prices for used and new units; councilors approved proceeding with a 20‑foot unit and associated equipment shipment and instructed staff to record the purchase against the cemetery capital outlay and cemetery equipment lines as needed. The council also approved payment of the bills presented at the meeting.
Separately, the council voted to waive a resident's water overage charge after staff and council reviewed a reported meter issue and confirmed repairs had been made; council members said the town would not bill the service district for the overage. Meeting reports included an update that the parks complex has new bleachers that meet safety requirements and that local EMT staffing and retention remain a point of discussion.
The meeting concluded with adjournment. No future meeting date was specified in the record provided.
