Council approves support letter to Congressman Moore and grants mayor easement negotiation authority

The North Logan City Council on March 4 unanimously approved two formal actions: a resolution supporting a community‑project funding request to U.S. Rep. Blake Moore and authorization for the mayor to negotiate and sign property easement agreements related to a transmission waterline and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.

Council member Emily moved to adopt the funding‑support resolution and authorize the mayor to sign the corresponding support letter; the motion carried on a voice vote with no recorded opposition. The resolution certifies the city's ability to provide any required matching funds for the federal request and is being submitted because Rep. Moore's office now requests that cities provide written continuity in case of mid‑appropriation changes.

On a separate action the council approved a motion granting the mayor authority to negotiate and sign an easement agreement for two parcels (parcel numbers cited during the meeting). Staff explained the agreements would allow the city to install a waterline and construct a segment of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail via grant funds before future subdivision development and that the easement would be memorialized with the property owner to avoid requiring developers to install the infrastructure later.

Both items were discussed and then approved with motions and voice votes; council members asked clarifying questions before each vote. No roll‑call tallies with named yes/no votes were read into the record during those approvals; the council recorded the motions as passed.
