Mona Council coordinates funeral support and parade changes after Long family loss
Summary
Councilmembers and residents discussed funeral arrangements for the Long family, postponed Main Street road work for services on July 29, and planned tributes including a dirt-bike ride and Provo City Fire Department participation in the Mona Celebration parade.
Mayor Troy Painter thanked residents for their service and kindness to the Long family and told the Council that the funeral is scheduled for Wednesday, July 29, 2026.
Mayor Painter said road work on Main Street would be postponed so it would not impede funeral services. Councilmember Devan Ingram said he would "bring his dump truck and remove the dirt" and described community plans to assist with graves. Residents and Councilmembers discussed a dirt-bike ride in early August to honor Spencer Long and noted the Provo City Fire Department will participate in the Mona Celebration Parade as a tribute.
The Council also discussed minor parade-timing ideas (running motorcycles down Main Street shortly before the parade) and community support activities. No formal action beyond these coordination decisions was required; the emergency meeting adjourned at 7:49 p.m.
