Mona City council approves fee schedule updates and cemetery code changes; minutes and routine finance motions pass
Summary
The council approved updates to the Mona City fee schedule (Resolution 2025‑2) and amendments to cemetery burial policy and procedures; the council also approved routine financial disbursements and the Jan. 14, 2025 minutes. Staff will post the adopted changes and proceed with implementation steps described in code and policy.
The Mona City Council voted to adopt several routine but consequential administrative updates at the meeting.
First, the council approved the disbursement/finance report after a motion to accept the town’s financials. The motion and second were recorded and the council responded with affirmative votes; no dissent was recorded.
Second, the council adopted Resolution 2025‑2, updating the Mona City fee schedule. Staff explained the primary changes: removal of software fees previously tied to subdivision submissions processed through Zipflow, elimination of a 3‑way irrigation contract reporting fee because irrigation companies now retain certificates, and an adjustment to the research fee so it reflects the hourly wage of the lowest‑paid employee assigned to perform the research. Council moved and seconded the resolution and voted to adopt it.
Third, the council approved amendments to cemetery burial policy and procedures. Changes discussed and adopted include increasing the GRAMA advance notice for opening a grave from the prior 36 hours to one week when practicable; a limit of up to three separate cremation markers on an existing grave (or one larger headstone plus up to two cremation markers as described); and specifications for flat markers (an 8-by-12 stone with a 5‑inch concrete border) when placed on an existing grave. Staff indicated the administrative code text was updated to match these policy changes and will be published.
Separately, the council approved the minutes of the Jan. 14, 2025 meeting. Council members offered routine acknowledgements and there were no recorded objections.
