Elwood Town Council Meeting March 24, 2026 Meeting minutes Elwood Town Council Meeting Minutes Tuesday, March 24, 2026 | 7:00 PM 5235 West 8800 North, Tremonton, UT 84337 Members Present: Mayor Goodliffe (presiding), Council Member Shimek, Council Member Davis, Council Member Crouch, Public Works Director Steve Woerner, Town Clerk/Recorder Gina Marble, Guests Present: Christopher (visitor), John Weidman Absent: Council Member Mark Lay (out of town) 1. Welcome Mayor Goodliffe called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. The pledge of allegiance and opening prayer were foregone in the interest of time. Visiting guests Christopher and John were welcomed. 2. Administration a. Secondary Water Project - Bid ForThe Secondary Pond Mayor Goodliffe presented the secondary water project bid summary. The low bid was submitted by TAG Construction, Trucking, Excavating, and Concrete Framing and General Contracting at $642,000. However, following a meeting with TAG on Monday, it was discovered that TAG's bid did not include two pumps specified in the project, potentially affecting the bid's competitiveness. The second and third low bids - $660,000 and $661,000, respectively - did include both pumps. In addition to the contractor bid, the city would directly contract Golden Spike Electric for electrical work and Golden Spike Automation for the SCADA system, bringing the total projected project cost to $876,000 - approximately $250,000 higher than originally anticipated. Public Works Director Woerner confirmed that funding would be drawn from three sources: the Capital Project Fund ($407,000), the State Infrastructure Bank (SIB) loan balance ($373,000), and the Public Treasury Investment Fund (PTIF) ($95,000), leaving a PTIF balance of $755,000. The existing SIB loan payment of $62,000/year would remain unchanged. The project will be added to the revised budget in June. Council discussion confirmed that only one pump is required to service the current coverage area, with the second pump potentially to be required of future developers as a condition of subdivision. The pump house is designed to accommodate up to four pumps. Public Works Director Woerner noted that bids will not be held for 30 days, creating urgency to lock in pricing with subcontractors. Motion to accept the pricing and bids for the secondary water project, with possible adjustments regarding the pump, was made by Councilmember Davis and seconded by Councilmember Shimek. Motion Passed unanimously. Mayor Goodliffe noted his intention to nominate Keenan Haramoto to the Planning Commission. No vote was taken, as the item was not on the agenda. 3. Water No discussion recorded. 4. Sewer No discussion recorded. 5. Parks And Recreation Etc. No discussion recorded. 6. Roads No discussion recorded. 7. Emergency Preparedness No discussion recorded. 8. Other Council Member Crouch briefly raised the pending irrigation ditch use agreement with the local ditch company.

The matter was tabled pending receipt of the revised agreement. 9. Executive Session - Strategy Session To Discuss Pending Or Reasonably Imminent Litigation Mayor Goodliffe called for a motion to enter closed/executive session to discuss pending or reasonably imminent litigation.
