Pleasant Grove council approves interlocal amendment for Harvey Blvd, amends cemetery rules and declares a surplus vehicle
Summary
At its Nov. 18 meeting the council approved four resolutions: an interlocal amendment with Cedar Hills for Harvey Boulevard widening (2025-041), a surplus declaration for a 2023 Toyota Tacoma (2025-042), cemetery policy updates to add columbariums and restrict decorations/limits on cremations (2025-043), and Addendum No. 4 clarifying trail use with the Metropolitan Water District (2025-044).
Pleasant Grove City Council approved a package of infrastructure, property and policy measures on Nov. 18, passing four resolutions after brief staff presentations and unanimous recorded votes.
Public Works Director reported that the Harvey Boulevard widening project (4000 North) is nearly complete in design and that Pleasant Grove is cost-sharing with Cedar Hills and MAG; the meeting record states, "The the project has been designed pretty much 95%" and staff recommended updating the interlocal agreement to reflect additional MAG funding. Council adopted Resolution 2025-041 to authorize the mayor to sign the first amendment to the interlocal cooperative agreement with Cedar Hills for the Harvey Boulevard widening project. The motion was made by Council Member Jansen, seconded by Council Member Rogers, and carried on recorded yes votes by Jansen, Lamone, Rogers and Williams.
On surplus property, staff explained the city's fleet program and proposed declaring a 2023 Toyota Tacoma surplus to recoup value for reinvestment. Council adopted Resolution 2025-042 (motion by Council Member Limon; second by Council Member Jensen) with recorded yes votes by Williams, Limon, Jansen and Rogers.
Director Giles presented amendments to the Pleasant Grove Cemetery policies tied to the Cook Family Park expansion and installation of new columbariums. Giles told council that the fee study completed in September compared nine neighboring cities and that proposed policy changes include limiting lot purchases to 10 lots per person, reducing the number of cremations allowed in a traditional lot from 4 to 1 so urns can be placed in columbarium niches, and prohibiting photos, vases and other decorations on columbarium panels. "We actually decreased the number of cremations allowed in a traditional lot from 4 to 1," Giles said while outlining the recommended controls; council adopted Resolution 2025-043 (motion by Council Member Jansen; second by Council Member Lamone) on recorded yes votes by Jansen, Lamone, Rogers and Williams.
Council also approved Resolution 2025-044 authorizing the mayor to sign Addendum No. 4 to the cooperation agreement with the Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake City and Sandy to add trail descriptions and clarify use along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail and Valley Vista Trails (coverage from Grove Creek north to Linden). Giles said the addendum "clarifies" use on district property and will enable trail improvements when funding is available. The motion was moved by Council Member Limon, seconded by Council Member Williams, and recorded yes votes included Williams, Rogers, Limon and Jansen.
Each resolution passed during the Nov. 18 meeting was recorded and the motions were carried; staff noted next steps include signature and implementation steps as funding and agreements permit.
