Huntington council approves local business licenses, a $500 graduation donation and community‑center HVAC bid

At its meeting the Huntington City Council approved two local business licenses, agreed to a $500 donation for an Emery High graduation party, and accepted a bid to replace the community center heating and install central air.

Tyler Bunn introduced himself and his business during the license portion: "My name is Tyler Bunn. I own Debugger Pest Control. I've been servicing Carbon and Emery County since 2014," he told the council, saying he recently bought a shop on Main Street and planned to move his business there. The council approved the Debugger Pest Control license by motion.

The council also approved a pilot‑car service license for a branch of an existing city business.

During public comment a student reading a request letter asked the city for support for the Emery High graduation party, describing the event and listing local partners. Councilmember Gloria moved to donate $500; the motion carried. The record shows at least one council member registered a dissenting vote during the roll call.

On capital work, the council considered three bids to replace a failing heater, add central air and repair a leaky roof at the community center. Council accepted Snow's bid (reported at about $16,025) over higher bids from Air Temps (about $19,300) and Johnson's (reported about $17,054.50).

Resident Brett Greenan thanked city employees for assistance with a family matter and raised a safety concern about an intersection by the cemetery and junior high; the council said it would take the intersection concern under advisement.

Jessica, the planning and zoning administrator, summarized recent permitting activity: "as of today, there have been 8 zoning clearances done, 2 new home builds in there, 2 accessory structures, and then 4 mobile homes in Kim's trailer haven," she reported, adding staff had tagged three vehicles (two of which were removed) and that work on a new subdivision application is ongoing.

The council concluded routine business and adjourned the meeting.
