Levan council discusses county Christmas parade, proposed rodeo and park improvements; approves routine minutes and claims
Summary
Council members discussed the countywide Christmas-in-the-County parade (Nov. 29) — including float participation, a county rule limiting Santas to the county float, and a tree festival raising funds for the Courage Against Cancer Fund — heard a proposal for a speed rodeo and received updates on baseball field work; the council also approved minutes and routine claims.
The Levan City Council spent part of its Oct. 9 meeting discussing community events and routine business. Christine (role not specified) outlined plans for the countywide "Christmas in the County" celebration set for Saturday, Nov. 29, asking that town lights be turned on by 6:30 p.m.; Levan discussed a local lighting at 6 p.m. and encouraged a float entry for the town to join the county parade.
Christine described county requests that only the county entry include Santa to avoid confusing children and said the event will include a coloring contest and a tree festival whose proceeds will go to the Courage Against Cancer Fund. "They did request that no entries will have Santa except for the county because they said before when they've had multiple Santas, it confuses the kids," Christine said.
Ray (role not specified) relayed a separate proposal from Jared Crum to hold a speed rodeo on July 24 featuring three events, with Crum volunteering to run the race. Council members discussed logistics such as PVC pipe bases and staffing for the rodeo.
Speakers also noted building maintenance and partnerships: representatives discussed recruiting local groups (DUP, Scout Hut) to help build floats and mentioned a recent request from DUP for weather stripping on Scout Hut doors; the council said available funds could be used to purchase the materials. In reports, an unidentified council member said the Juab Fire District is purchasing equipment but has not yet secured funding for an expensive ladder truck, noting such trucks carry substantial costs. The presiding official updated the council on baseball field progress, including planned fence installation, irrigation trenching with town crews, and significant community donations.
In short procedural business, the council approved meeting minutes from Sept. 11, 2025, and approved claims and payroll reports covering September financial periods after motions by Ray (S2); both motions carried without recorded opposition. The meeting concluded after opening public comment, which produced no remarks, and a motion to adjourn.
