Lynndyl reviews 2025 budget and capital plan; roads, well decommissioning and park upgrades discussed
Summary
At its June 4 meeting, Lynndyl reviewed the proposed 2025 budget and capital improvements plan, discussing a $163,000 roads allocation tied to Transwest, park gym upgrades, digitization of planning records, a possible $41,250 grant, and $50,000 estimate to decommission two wells; a motion to close the public hearing was made and seconded with no vote recorded in the transcript.
Lynndyl officials reviewed the town's proposed 2025 budget and capital improvements plan at their June 4, 2025 meeting, focusing on road maintenance funding tied to an expected Transwest payment, upgrades to park facilities, records digitization and water-system projects.
Unidentified Speaker 1 said the draft budget includes $163,000 for street operations and maintenance "assuming that [Transwest] come[s] through in August," and that county involvement in the project will require coordination with the town. Speaker 1 also said PTIF account paperwork will need to be signed and notarized by Alexis at Zions Bank.
The council discussed timing for contractor work. Speaker 1 said Joe Tibbets is expected to attend the July meeting to present plans and that chip sealing is done in warm months, so bid timing would likely target next spring if the Transwest payment is delayed.
Budget items discussed included raising a line item for park gym upgrades from $2,700 to $5,000 to cover carpet, flooring, paint and finishing work, and a planning and zoning request to digitize ordinances and records quoted at $2,500. Staff recommended budgeting up to $4,000 as a maximum estimate to cover total costs for digitization.
Speaker 1 said the town could add work as a capital project if a grant (estimated at roughly $41,250) is obtained. Speaker 4 raised a separate, substantial obligation: two wells must be fully decommissioned (plugged and above-ground equipment removed) by April 2027 under existing contract terms. Speaker 4 provided a cost estimate of about $50,000 and described one well as approximately a 16-inch bore 740 feet deep and the other a 10-inch bore about 400 feet deep.
Speaker 4 also flagged a needed replacement of the park water meter with a dedicated sprinkler meter and estimated that work at $3,500, saying the existing meter is old, hard to read and does not radio-read. Speakers discussed whether leftover funds from a new pump house project could cover replacement of a 10-inch valve and other valve repairs; staff member Jess was asked to look into available funds after grant awards are finalized.
Unidentified Speaker 2 moved to close the public hearing; Unidentified Speaker 1 seconded. The motion and second were recorded in the transcript, but no formal vote or explicit outcome appears in the provided segments.
Next steps recorded in the meeting: staff will follow up on the PTIF paperwork with Alexis at Zions Bank, Joe Tibbets is expected to present project details at the July meeting, and Jess will check whether grant or residual pump-house funds could pay for additional valve repairs.
