Tooele City Council Business Meeting – September 16, 2026

The Tooele City Council held a business meeting on September 16, 2026, addressing several procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement discussions included the approval of an $11.15 million sewer revenue bond issuance to fund upgrades at the city's sewage collection and treatment system, including biosolids processing and UV disinfection improvements. The council also approved a $22,870 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant for police department equipment, specifically to purchase a police motorcycle, and authorized an interlocal agreement with Tooele County related to this grant. Additionally, the council approved a contract with Hansen Allen and Luce Inc. for a water source and water rights study to better manage the city's water resources. The meeting included the approval of invoices for a $49,657 generator for the Parks Building, a $75,464 dump truck with snow plow for the cemetery, and $48,788 for parts to repair mixers at the water reclamation facility. The council also adopted a firefighter incentive program to provide nominal compensation to volunteer firefighters, funded within the current budget. A zoning map amendment to remove a sensitive area overlay from certain parcels was discussed but ultimately not approved. These actions reflect the council's focus on infrastructure improvements, public safety equipment procurement, and resource management.
