She stated the city lets YLA use the Mower Events Center every Wednesday morning during the school year to host school classes as well as use of the dance hall at a discounted rate for a few days throughout the school year. In return, YLA is expected to help with community service efforts such as cemetery clean-ups, pioneer days clean-ups, etc. Ms. Armstong then asked the City Council for clarification on exactly which facilities YLA can use, and how often they could use them.
General discussion ensued regarding building usage, rental rates, community service, and more. Mayor Brad Welch assigned Council member Rasmussen to prepare an MOU to present to YLA for signature.
Daughters of Utah Pioneers Benches
Laura Ericksen and Peggy Underwood from the DUP organization came before the City Council and stated that the Daughters of Utah Pioneers would like to fund and place a couple of benches near a monument in the lower historic pioneer cemetery. The City Council accepted their donation and told them to proceed with the project.
TOPICS OF DISCUSSION:
Building Rental Rates
Mr. Nelson introduced the item and presented the list of proposed building rental rates to the City Council. He stated that with rising costs across the board and bond payments needing to be paid, it was necessary for the city to raise rental rates across the board to bring them more in line with standard rental rates around the County.
Mr. MacKay asked about the specifics of being eligible to pay a “non-profit” rate. Mr. Nelson responded that the organization renting the building would have to be a registered 501(c)(3) in order to qualify.
Mr. St. Jacques motioned to approve the building rental rate increases with the stipulation that all mentions of a non-profit rate be removed from the document. All entities wanting any kind of a discount would need to come before the City Council. Mr. Rosenlund seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
Derby Ticket Pricing
Mr. St. Jacques motioned to raise the 2026 Demolition Derby ticket prices to $25 with the buyer paying for additional fees. Mr. MacKay seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
Weight Limit on 300 S, Driver Feedback Signage
Mr. MacKay introduced the topic and stated due to road damage; he would like the City to look into banning all large commercial trucks on 300 South. He also mentioned the if Fairview wanted to, UDOT would split the cost of installing “driver feedback signage” along State Street.
Mayor Welch stated that if they were to ban large trucks on 300 South, it may be necessary for the city to establish an alternate route for the trucks to follow. The item was tabled for future discussion.
