Mount Pleasant City Council approved multiple requisitions and resolutions during its regular meeting.
Key votes and actions taken:
- Requisition 042601: Approved a $653,054 purchase order to Westco for a medium-power transformer for Substation 3. Staff said the transformer is on a 2+ year production lead time and shipping will cost about $18,000; impact fees will be used to fund the purchase. The city will pay 30% at order, 30% upon drawing approval and 40% on shipment.
- Requisition 042602: Approved $15,619.31 to Diamond Mountain Machinery for lighting at the Veterans Memorial; council agreed to change the GL coding to use Veterans Memorial funds where available.
- Requisition 040603: A proposed printer purchase for the recreation center (not to exceed $8,000) was postponed to allow staff to return with lower-cost options and clearer service-contract implications.
- Requisition 040604: A $10,400 requisition to Sunrise Engineering for sidewalk-management software failed after members argued the city could track sidewalks through other means or spend funds on construction rather than software.
- Resolutions passed: 2026-5 (paperless utility-billing policy adopting limited exceptions), 2026-6 (motor-vehicle-record policy), and 2026-7 (return-to-work policy with a name removed and the city recorder substituted). These passed on roll-call votes.
- Planning & Zoning recommendation approved: Council approved rezoning a portion of 'sensitive lands' near 925 South and 100 West to RA residential, allowing smaller lots; the motion passed after discussion about water availability and possible developer requirements.
Votes were recorded by roll call on multiple items. Where councilors explicitly recorded their position the minutes list first names (for example, Kate, Lynn, Jake, Paul, Rodney) during roll calls. Staff will follow up on coding changes, procurement scheduling, and implementation details.
The meeting included extended discussion on other items (truck routing, water/irrigation enforcement, and fire-billing ordinance discussion) recorded elsewhere in the minutes.
