Kanosh Town Council ratifies EMS deferral, approves mower purchase and parade spending

The Kanosh Town Council ratified a deferral letter formalizing Millard County’s provision of emergency medical services for the town and approved several equipment and event expenditures during its meeting.

The council voted to ratify an annual deferral letter allowing Millard County to handle EMS service for Kanosh. Committee member (speaker 2) moved to ratify the letter and Resident (speaker 1) seconded; the Chair (speaker 3) called for a voice vote and members answered in the affirmative. "We are relinquishing our responsibility to provide EMS services for our town to the county," the Chair said when explaining the change. The Chair also noted the arrangement does not alter current funding: "The rest is basically the same as usual. It's still the county providing the service. The money stays the same."

On equipment, the council approved the purchase of a Husqvarna Z454 54‑inch mower with blower and bagger for approximately $9,800 (chair and staff reported the dealer price at about $8,300 plus $1,500 for blower/bagger). Committee member (speaker 2) moved to approve the purchase and a staff member (speaker 6) seconded; the council voted 'aye'.

For the July 24 parade, councilors discussed logistics, street closures, sound-system needs and cleanup plans. The Chair proposed buying sidewalk chalk for parade handouts and asked the council to approve spending $200; members agreed to the expenditure. The meeting record shows plans to post schedules at the church and public locations, coordinate street-blocking with highway patrol, and recruit volunteers for setup and cleanup.

Other operational items included a review of warrants (noting a Peterson Plumbing invoice of $13,846 for partial repairs and new lines), updates on meter repairs and well‑project electrical scheduling, and a report that the council’s timecards have moved to a digital approval system.

Next steps: the council recorded the votes in the minutes and closed the meeting. No additional formal actions on these items were scheduled at this session.
