Council reviews bids, ordinance changes and fee updates in consent/action review
Summary
Council received staff recommendations on lighting and cemetery bids, an amendment to the subdivision ordinance to allow PUD‑owned storage, a public utility easement for a future corridor alignment, and a water‑meter fee update to reflect higher vendor costs; most items were placed on consent or action for next meeting.
On Aug. 20 Cedar City staff presented a series of routine and capital items the council placed on consent or scheduled for action.
Contracts: Staff recommended awarding the South Main Street lighting Phase 2 contract to low bidder Skyline Creations and awarding the Cemetery Renovation Phase 3 to Viking Excavation Inc.; council agreed both items can move forward, though one councilmember disclosed an abstention on the cemetery contract requiring action rather than consent.
Ordinance and code updates: Platt and staff asked the council to add language to the subdivision ordinance to allow on‑site PUD storage units to count toward required parking where dimensional standards are met; staff clarified setbacks and parking widths and will process a short extension request because approvals near a two‑year expiration.
Fees and easements: Staff proposed passing through higher Neptune water‑meter costs to contractors and developers via an amended fee schedule; council discussed potential markups and sales tax consequences and planned to finalize the fee update on the next action docket. A public utility easement request to adjust overhead power lines at the future Cedar Boulevard alignment was described as routine and placed on consent.
What’s next: Council put these items on consent or action as appropriate and will vote on contracts and fee schedule adjustments in the upcoming meeting.
