Mona council approves community center fee increase, annexation holding-zone policy and 2025 meeting calendar
Summary
At its Nov. 26 meeting the Mona City Council approved a $50 increase to full-day community center rentals, adopted annexation updates that place newly annexed parcels in a transitional holding zone pending zoning, and accepted the 2025 council meeting schedule.
The Mona City Council on Nov. 26 voted to approve three items after public hearings: a $50 increase to the community center full-day rental, an annexation update that places newly annexed property in a transitional holding zone pending zoning decisions, and the city's meeting schedule for 2025.
Council members opened three public hearings at the start of the meeting. On Resolution 2024-10, which amends the fee schedule, a council member moved to approve the $50 increase for full-day community center rentals; the motion passed by voice vote as recorded in the meeting transcript.
On Ordinance 2024-11, staff described a change recommended by the city attorney that would classify newly annexed property into a transitional holding zone. Staff explained the holding zone is an administrative classification used while the city and the property owner determine permanent zoning (for example, residential, commercial, or park use) and is intended to provide an interim regulatory status rather than an immediate zoning assignment. In the meeting transcript Alicia, who presented the update, summarized the approach as a holding place to allow later zoning applications and negotiations.
Council also voted to accept Resolution/Ordinance 2024-12, the 2025 meeting schedule, which the packet showed includes planning and zoning meetings.
All three items were approved by motions, second and recorded "Aye" votes in the meeting transcript. The meeting record does not include a roll-call with full names tied to each vote; the transcript shows affirmative voice votes during each approval. No public speakers addressed the council on these three items during the hearings.
What happens next: staff will implement the amended fee schedule and the annexation procedure described in the ordinance; Alicia said the city attorney is continuing to review land-use documents and that a longer packet of land-use changes (marked in red/green) will be acted on at a subsequent public hearing.
