Portage Town Council Meeting
March 17, 2026 Meeting minutes
Call To Order
The Portage Town Council special meeting was called to order on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at 6:00 PM. The meeting was held at the Portage Town Hall 25880 N 9000 W Portage UT
Opening Ceremony: Prayer Pledge
An invocation was offered by Mariah, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Trent.
Action Item - Discuss And Vote On Water Meters And Radio Read System
Councilmember Nelson presented a revised breakdown of the water meter project costs totaling $86,661.01, which represented a reduction from the previously approved amount. The proposal would require paying an additional $1,000 mobilization fee if the project were to be completed in phases at a later date.
After discussion, the Council determined that the $86,000 cost remained too high for the town's budget. Councilmember Nelson noted that alternative options, such as manual meter reading with hired personnel, could be explored.
Motion: Councilmember Nelson moved to cancel the previously approved contract with Meter Works and explore different options at a later date. Motion Passed unanimously.
Adjournment
Motion: A motion to adjourn was made and seconded. Motion Passed unanimously.
The meeting was adjourned.
The undersigned, duly acting and appointed clerk for Portage Town Corporation, hereby certifies that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the Town Council meeting minutes held on the 17th day of March 2026. Dated this the 15th day of April 2026.
