Mona City Council to hold public hearing on code and fee updates

The Mona City Council met on Aug. 11 and 12 to discuss hiring, sewer plant air conditioning, and accounting services, but no decisions have been published because meeting minutes are not yet available. The council will hold a public hearing on Aug. 25 on proposed updates to city code and the fee schedule.

Recent meetings

On Aug. 11, the council held a regular meeting with an agenda that included consideration of hiring recommendations for a Streets & Water Operator and a Certified Public Accountant for a finance position, awarding a bid for sewer plant air conditioning, approving minutes from the July 28 work session and meeting, and reviewing financial reports for gas, water, roads, and sewer. A separate work session that same day discussed opening sealed bids for the sewer plant AC replacement, reviewing and selecting an accounting firm for the Accountant of Record position, and proposed updates to the city code and fee schedule.

On Aug. 12, the council held a special work session with a single item: review, selection, and approval of an accounting firm for the Accountant of Record position.

On Aug. 18, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a development review session to discuss the Mona Commercial plans. The meeting took place at the Mona City Council Chambers, 20 West Center Street.

All of these meetings are listed as agenda-only; no minutes have been published.

Mona City Council Tackles Accounting, Water Planning, and Asphalt Repairs in Late July

The Mona City Council held a busy stretch of meetings in late July, covering everything from outsourcing accounting services to long-term water planning. However, minutes have not yet been published for any of these sessions, so only agenda items — not final decisions or vote tallies — can be reported at this time.

July 22 Emergency Meeting

The council called an emergency meeting on July 22, 2026, at 20 West Center Street. The agenda listed three items: approval of outsourcing a CPA firm for accounting, consideration and approval of hiring recommendations, and a discussion of service opportunities and ideas. No minutes are available yet, so it is not possible to confirm which items were approved or how council members voted.

July 28 Regular Meeting

On July 28, the council had a fuller agenda. Items included an asphalt repair change order for up to $5,000, consideration and approval of hiring recommendations, and approval of the quarterly financial report. The council was also scheduled to discuss commercial development and review development standards, as well as approve minutes from previous meetings.

Again, because minutes have not been published, the outcome of each item — including whether the $5,000 asphalt change order was approved — cannot be confirmed from the available record.

July 28 Work Session: Water and Sewer

Also on July 28, the council held a work session focused on water and sewer infrastructure. The agenda included a presentation on the Mona City 40-year Water Right Plan by Sunrise Engineering, a water update by Jonathan Jones, and discussion of sewer plant air conditioning.

Work sessions are typically discussion-oriented and do not include formal votes, but without published minutes, the specifics of what was discussed remain unavailable.

Why This Matters

Outsourcing accounting to a CPA firm could shift how the city handles its finances. The 40-year water right plan speaks to long-term planning for a resource that is central to any small Utah town. And a $5,000 asphalt change order, while modest, reflects ongoing maintenance of city streets. Residents who want to know what was actually decided will need to wait for the meeting minutes to be published or contact Mona City directly.

Coming Up

The Mona Planning and Zoning Commission has scheduled a public hearing on August 5, 2026, at the City Council Chambers. The agenda includes a public hearing to amend the Mona City Code and a review of ordinance-2026-11-draft.pdf. Residents interested in proposed code changes may want to attend or review the draft ordinance before the hearing.

Mona City Council addresses EMS services, accounting, and hiring in recent meetings

The Mona City Council held two meetings in mid-July — a regular session on July 14 and an emergency meeting on July 22 — covering emergency medical services, hiring, accounting services, and several infrastructure items. Minutes for both meetings have not yet been published, so outcomes of votes and approvals cannot be confirmed from the available agendas.

Juab County EMS services

The July 14 regular meeting agenda listed the continuation of Juab County EMS Services as an action item. The council was set to vote on whether to keep the county's EMS arrangement in place. No vote tally or decision is available because minutes have not been published.

CPA firm outsourcing

The council called an emergency meeting on July 22 at 20 West Center Street to consider outsourcing a CPA firm for the city's accounting. The agenda also included consideration and approval of hiring recommendations and a discussion of service opportunities and ideas. Those were the only items listed. Minutes are not yet available, so it is not confirmed whether the outsourcing or hiring items were approved.

Hiring recommendations

Both the July 14 and July 22 agendas included consideration and approval of hiring recommendations. The agendas do not name specific positions or candidates. Without published minutes, the council's action on these items is not confirmed.

Planning, zoning, and development

The July 14 agenda included a planning and zoning request from Kayson Keyte for an accessory building with utilities at 200 West Center. The agenda also noted that the Sewer Master Plan and Zoning Map had been posted on the city website for public review.

Cemetery, finances, and streets

The July 14 agenda listed cemetery policies for discussion, approval of finances, and an update on the Main Street project, which was slated to start after the Mona City Celebration. A water work session was also scheduled for July 28.

Coming up

• **July 28 — City Council work session:** The council will discuss water and sewer infrastructure, including a 40-year water right plan presented by Sunrise Engineering, a water update by Jonathan Jones, and sewer air conditioning.
• **August 5 — Planning and Zoning public hearing:** The council will hold a public hearing on proposed amendments to the Mona City Code, including a review of ordinance-2026-11-draft.pdf. The meeting is at the City Council Chambers.

Residents seeking confirmed outcomes from the July 14 and July 22 meetings should watch for published minutes on the Mona City website.
