Pleasant Grove council adds library time clock, approves $21,000 travel-budget increase
Summary
At its June 1 meeting the Pleasant Grove City Council unanimously approved amending its ADP contract to add a library time clock (additional cost stated as $1,620) and amended the travel budget by $21,000 to cover required continuing education through September. Final transfer amounts will be provided before the next meeting.
The Pleasant Grove City Council voted unanimously June 1 to amend the city’s ADP payroll contract to add an additional time clock for library staff and to increase the council’s travel budget by $21,000 to cover continuing-education travel through September.
Mayor Yolanda Lawson introduced the ADP amendment, saying the additional time clock would benefit library staff and that the extra amount required was $1,620. A councilor moved, another seconded, and the council approved the contract amendment by a unanimous show-of-hands vote, according to the meeting record.
Councilors then considered an amendment to the travel account to provide funds for mandatory continuing education for the mayor and councilors. The motion to add $21,000 to the travel line was also seconded and approved unanimously.
Why it matters: the ADP amendment ensures the library’s timekeeping equipment will be integrated into the new payroll/time system, and the travel budget amendment funds mandated continuing education for elected officials over the summer months, avoiding interruptions to compliance or staffing time.
What the staff said: Mayor Lawson and city finance staff told the council the additional time-clock cost was the same as previously considered under an earlier option and that the $21,000 travel increase was necessary because existing line-item funding was already over budget for anticipated training and travel. Mr. Cobb (finance) said final numbers and any transfers would be supplied before the next meeting so councilors could see the specific account adjustments.
Vote at a glance: both motions passed by unanimous show-of-hands; the transcript records the outcome as unanimous but does not list a numerical roll-call tally.
Next steps: staff will prepare the formal contract amendment paperwork for the ADP services and provide exact transfer amounts and documentation of the travel-budget changes before the council’s next meeting.
