Council adopts Emery County pre‑disaster plan, approves fire truck repairs and city bills

Cleveland Town Council moved to adopt the Emery County pre‑disaster mitigation plan and approved vehicle repairs for the fire department in the same meeting.

Chair (S1) presented the county mitigation package — described in the meeting as a 472‑page document that covers county and town recommendations — and asked the council for a vote to adopt the plan. The chair called for a motion to approve and the council voted in favor by voice vote. "They started back in 2023... there's 472 pages to this book," Trevor (S2) said while explaining the plan had been circulated and that other districts had already adopted it.

Council then considered repairs to two fire vehicles. The brush truck required DEF‑related diagnostic work and parts; a vendor quote including diagnostic fees was listed in the record as $2,088.86. The crash truck needed steering repairs, quoted at $619.30. The council indicated sufficient funds in the fire budget and, after a motion to authorize the repairs, approved the work by roll call.

Chair (S1) then reconvened to routine items: a motion was made and carried to approve last month's minutes and to pay city bills and financials. The meeting transcript records the approvals occurring with members on speakerphone and via roll call; specific tallies were not recorded in the minutes beyond affirmative votes.

No amendments to the mitigation plan were proposed at the meeting; the adoption places the town on record as supporting the county's recommended disaster‑mitigation measures, and staff will include the town's adoption in the minutes and forward necessary signatures.

Next steps: staff will file the town's adoption with the county per the plan's instructions and the fire department will schedule the repairs with the vendor.
