Council discusses sprinkler overhaul, cemetery mower and July 4 plans
Summary
Councilmembers reviewed town maintenance: an aging town-hall sprinkler system likely needs redesign or replacement (bids discussed), the cemetery received a new mower (approx. $3,400–$3,500), arena water was restored by volunteers and July 4 and rodeo logistics were refined.
During department reports, councilmembers flagged several maintenance and events items. Scott reported that the town‑hall sprinkler system is old, with plugged and frozen lines and failing valves; staff and volunteers recommended removing water‑intensive bushes, reconfiguring irrigation zones and replacing or redesigning the system. Preliminary quotes discussed ranged from roughly $9,400 for limited zone work to about $24,000 for larger work; councilors agreed to review procurement rules and bring the project back as an action item in August so Saloni Richards (mayor) could participate.
Mary Piscatelli said the cemetery’s new mower is working well; participants discussed selling or repurposing the old unit for parts. Transcript references indicate the new mower cost roughly $3,400–$3,500 including an hour meter.
Staff reported the arena water was restored and volunteers helped complete repairs; discussions about park lighting and possible grant funding (Wasatch TAP) were noted, though council members said lighting work is not an immediate priority. Alicia reviewed July 4 preparations — flyers, laminated posters and children’s activities — and described contingency plans after county changes to rodeo programming. The council set the sprinkler system as an agenda item for the August meeting for further review.
