Summary
At its Oct. 22 meeting the Grantsville City Council approved Resolution 2025‑76 to surplus police K‑9 Ludo (including equipment), Ordinance 2025‑37 to realign Cherry Street in the Cherrywood plat, and Resolution 2025‑77 amending the consolidated fee schedule to a time‑and‑materials approach while collecting inspection‑hour data for a future fee study.
The Grantsville City Council approved three formal items on Oct. 22: a resolution to surplus police K‑9 Ludo (including his equipment), an ordinance to amend the Cherrywood subdivision plat to realign Cherry Street, and a resolution to amend the consolidated building permit fee schedule.
K‑9 Ludo: The police chief told the council that Ludo is six years old and that his handler had resigned; the department received an offer of about $3,500 from Carbon County (SEG 334). Council moved to surplus Ludo and include his equipment; council discussed whether the dog’s fitted vest should transfer with him and the chief estimated the vest value at "less than $600" (SEG 405–411). The motion to surplus Ludo (Resolution 2025‑76) was made, seconded and passed on voice vote (SEG 414–424).
Cherrywood plat amendment: Planners presented Ordinance 2025‑37, a plat amendment to realign Cherry Street so the city can connect the east and west segments in the future. The council confirmed the right‑of‑way on the plat meets the city's 66‑foot roadway standard and approved the ordinance by motion and voice vote (SEG 433–441, SEG 445–449, SEG 517–528).
Fee schedule amendment: Staff presented Resolution 2025‑77 to revise commercial permit fees by moving to hourly/time‑and‑materials billing while the city collects inspection and review hours to support a future tiered fee study. The presenter said the change will make the city's fees "reasonable and directly related to the actual cost of the service," in alignment with Utah State Code (SEG 584–586). Staff explained the proposed rates include an added $12.45 markup and that the city will provide estimates to applicants where possible; council approved the resolution by motion later in the meeting (SEG 756–766).
