Town business roundup: cemetery rules, website recovery, cleanup plans and surplus equipment
Summary
Council confirmed a three-cremation-per-lot cemetery policy, heard a website-malware recovery update, approved declaring a lawnmower and snowplow surplus for sale, and set dates for a Springtime Festival and community cleanup.
Charleston, UT — At its April 2 meeting the Charleston Town Council reviewed several administrative items: cemetery burial rules, website recovery, planned spring cleanup and events, and disposal of surplus equipment.
Cemetery policy: The council reviewed Charleston Resolution 2001-05, which limits cremation burials to three per lot. No one petitioned to change the rule during the meeting; the council left the resolution in place pending any formal request for amendment.
Website recovery: Duane and Derek Spencer reported the town website had been compromised by malware; after working with state resources they expected the site to be restored by the end of the weekend.
Community events and grant prospects: The Heritage Committee announced a Springtime Festival on June 1 and a town cleanup on June 6; committee representative Jana said flyers and online information will be distributed. Mayor Clements described a potential outdoor grant worth about $200,000 (unmatched funds) that could support park improvements; Nancy O’Toole of Midway has offered assistance with the grant application.
Town property and maintenance: Public Works staff described ongoing cemetery edging and removal of dumped trees; the mayor and council discussed Town Hall stucco and foundation damage that appears to be worsened by irrigation and requested bids for concrete work and improved parking-lot lighting.
Surplus equipment: Council member Scott Solum moved that a Toro lawnmower and a Mad Dogg snowplow be declared surplus and sold. Michael Bauer seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Procedural items: The council scheduled a General Plan Workshop for April 24, 2026, and took procedural votes to close the public meeting, enter a closed session and adjourn; all procedural motions passed unanimously.
The clerk will post minutes and event details after website restoration.
