Mona Council updates fee schedule, approves emergency generator and routine permits
Summary
Council adopted updates to the Mona City fee schedule, approved purchase and installation of an emergency generator for the city building, and approved a building permit for 522 South 300 East; staff also reported on the audit and upcoming candidate forum.
The Mona City Council on Sept. 9 approved adjustments to the city fee schedule and a series of routine administrative items, including the purchase and installation of an emergency generator for the city building and the approval of a residential building permit.
Sarah, who presented the fee-schedule changes, said the proposed resolution (Resolution 2025-22) includes raising the city’s research charge (what staff bill for document research) from $18 to $20 per hour to reflect the lowest-paid hourly employee; the update also includes changes to water-related language (reflecting a previously adopted 12,000-gallon limit) and higher subdivision application fees to cover added engineering and legal review costs. Council moved to approve the resolution and carried the motion by voice vote.
Council also considered a bid to install an emergency generator at the city building. The meeting transcript includes two different installer amounts: staff initially described a $14,995 installation cost and said Nephi Gas would run a gas line with labor covered by the company and parts charged (up to $10,000). Later, during the motion, a different figure appeared in the verbal record ($14,009.95). The city voted to approve the installation and directed that any gas-line costs be taken from the gas budget, per staff comments in the meeting.
Planning and zoning staff (Dennis) recommended approval of a building permit for Jeff Kaye at 522 South 300 East; the council approved the permit by motion. Staff also reported that Troy Linton’s Airbnb had been approved contingent on a fire inspection and that the inspection was completed.
On finance and audit, Sarah said the city’s audit fieldwork was completed and the auditor is awaiting some state confirmations (notably sales-tax items); the auditor indicated the work "went really well" and a final report is expected within a few weeks. Council approved the disbursement listing and finances by motion and voice vote.
Other, shorter items: staff announced a candidate-question night for the Nov. 4 general election on Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. in the council chamber (to be broadcast on Facebook); recreation and fall-event planning updates were provided; council agreed to schedule a planning-commission/council work session to resolve ordinance gray areas.
Provenance: Fee-schedule presentation and motion; generator presentation and motion; building permit presentation and motion; audit and finance presentation as recorded in the meeting transcript.
