Pleasant Grove council approves $357,431.13 in bills, places $47,281.90 on hold

The Pleasant Grove City Council voted to authorize payment of $357,431.13 in vendor bills and routine obligations and simultaneously placed $47,281.90 on hold until the Colston contractor completes required punch-list work.

Council agreed the approved total included routine items such as the city’s annual incentive to J Family Restaurants and a retirement-system payment; councilors also noted a prior approval to demolish a house on 12th Lane and said the demolition cost is included in the warrants. A $14,720 payment to the Local Government Corporation — described by council staff as the business license and garbage-billing system fee — was also listed among approved items.

The motion to pay bills was made, seconded and carried by unanimous voice/show of hands. Council did not record individual roll-call votes in the transcript; the clerk indicated the $47,281.90 hold was intended to secure completion of remaining contractor punch-list items before full payment.

Council documents and the clerk’s summary indicated that vehicle repairs and other operating costs were covered in the batch of payments; specifics named in the meeting included a vehicle repair listed as Night Automotive and line items tied to annual dues and system fees. The council did not schedule further action beyond holding the contractor funds pending confirmation that the work meets the city’s standards.
