Council approves multiple grant applications and local sponsorships; consent agenda passes with one abstention
Summary
The Price City Council approved a series of grant applications and local grants/sponsorships on May 13, including a $400,000 Safe Streets SS4 application, a $480 city sponsorship for the Black Diamond Rodeo, a fee waiver for a foster-family training, and consent-agenda approvals (one abstention on an indigent defense grant).
At its May 13 meeting, the Price City Council approved several grant applications, modest local sponsorships and administrative items in a set of motions and consent-agenda votes.
Motion and votes - Foster-family fee waiver: Council approved a motion to waive pavilion fees for a Utah Foster Care training session on July 8, 2026 so foster families and trainers could use Dynamine Park at no charge; the waiver was moved, seconded and passed by voice vote.
- Black Diamond Rodeo sponsorship: The Black Diamond Rodeo committee requested a $500 sponsorship; staff reported $480 remained in the sponsorship account. Council approved providing $480 from the city account (several councilmembers volunteered to cover the remaining $20) and the motion passed by voice vote.
- Safe Streets/SS4 grant: Staff described a proposed $400,000 U.S. Department of Transportation Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4) grant to fund a transportation/pedestrian safety master plan and possible crossing upgrades near Castle Heights Elementary. Council approved applying for the SS4 grant and using Lexicon Incorporated to assist with the application.
- Consent agenda and other items: Council considered multiple consent items including an EIS funding request, a no-match parks master plan grant, a five‑year no‑cost occupancy arrangement for United Way, a surplus‑property list and a Union Pacific crossing agreement (staff cited a ~ $25,000 crossing fee). The indigent defense grant contract was approved with one abstention recorded; the remainder of the consent agenda items (a–l, with item g pulled for a separate vote) were approved.
Council discussion focused on fiscal and scheduling details (timelines for grants, contractor incentives and minor procurement clarifications). Several motions were voice-voted rather than roll-call recorded; council directed staff to continue design and application work where needed.
