Votes at a glance: Tooele City Council approves false-alarm ordinance, JUB contract and surplus fire truck
Summary
At its May 6 meeting the council approved Ordinance 2026-10 (false-alarm enforcement), Resolution 2026-24 (professional services with JUB Engineers), and Resolution 2026-25 (declare surplus fire truck) — all by 5–0 votes — and approved meeting minutes.
The Tooele City Council cleared several routine items by unanimous vote on May 6.
Ordinance 2026-10: The council approved a new Tooele City Code chapter 9-8 establishing enforcement and a fee schedule for recurring false alarms that trigger officer responses. Police Chief Adrian Day said the fourth alarm would prompt a warning and a fifth false alarm within 365 days could trigger a civil citation; appeals would be handled through the recorder’s office. The ordinance passed 5–0.
Resolution 2026-24 (JUB Engineers): The council approved a professional services agreement with JUB Engineers to provide administrative services for the Tooele Rogers Road well site and salt shed construction. Finance Director Shannon Wimmer said the action enables construction oversight and administration; the resolution passed 5–0.
Resolution 2026-25 (surplus fire truck): The council declared a 1996 KME fire truck surplus and authorized the purchasing agent to dispose of it, first offering it to eligible county entities with a minimum offer of $15,000. Recorder Shiloh Baker said the truck no longer meets operational needs and that the department is awaiting a new truck; the resolution passed 5–0.
Other business: the council approved invoices (none presented), approved minutes from the April 15 work meeting and the April minutes, and adjourned at 8:02 p.m.
