Bountiful City Council

BOUNTIFUL -- A multi-family development of four units has been granted final site plan approval by the city council.

In action taken recently, the council voted to approve the Stone Creek Village project located at 1692 North and 200 West. The project is located in a RM-13 zone on a .52 acre parcel of land. Robert Gibson is the project developer.

Four Top of Utah cities will join forces to form an ethics commission that can hear potential grievances against elected officials in their communities, as well as top administrators in city government.

Layton, Roy, Clearfield and Bountiful are expected to take individual action to create municipal ethics commissions, in response to state legislative action in 2012 that allows for ethics cases to be handled by local government bodies, or by a state group.

BOUNTIFUL -- The city council has approved two separate transactions to replace inventory for the Bountiful City & Light Company.

The council voted recently to approve the purchase of two 15KV underground fused switch/fuse cans for $24,650 and also voted to spend $75,312 to replenish the utility’s inventory of transformers.

BOUNTIFUL -- The city council has approved the purchase of 53 new power poles for use by the Bountiful City Light & Power Company.

At a recent meeting, the council unanimously approved the purchase of the poles for a cost of $32,135. The poles will boost the utility’s existing inventory, according to Allen Johnson, director of the BCL&P. Council action is required to approve any utility purchase over $10,000.

BOUNTIFUL -- City leaders have approved funding for ongoing work at a utility substation, which feeds power to the Bountiful City Light & Power Company.

City council members approved an expenditure of $267,256 to upgrade the 138 kV Substation, located near Legacy Highway in Centerville, as part of phase 3 of the project.

BOUNTIFUL -- The city council recently approved the purchase of a digger derrick line truck for the city’s utility company for $178,588.

The truck is for use by the Bountiful City Light & Power Company.

Allen Johnson, director of BCL&P, described the truck as a mini crane and said officials were fortunate to find a demo to replace an existing truck, which is a 1988 model.

Any purchase for a utility more than $10,000 requires council approval.

BOUNTIFUL -- The gale-like winds that wreaked havoc in this community on Dec. 1, 2011, caused millions worth of damage, and also did a number on the city’s holiday decorations.

City officials voted recently to spend $54,260 to upgrade holiday decorations for Main Street for the upcoming season. The expenditure is the first for holiday decor since 2007.

Councilman Tom Tolman said many of the holiday decorations were worn out and had wiring defects or were destroyed entirely during the wind storm.

He said there are about 30 banners that are still in good condition and can be utilized in the Main Street area on decorative poles for the coming season.
