Mayor Mills ended the council session by announcing Mona City will take over Cemetery Lane to the cattle guard, the road that goes to the sewer plant, and the road that goes to the gravel pit. The mayor said they had been talking to the county about taking over the rads for some time, but did not like what the county had been offering and decided to go through the state instead. Mayor Mills said, 'We have in theory, accepted ownership of the roads on 91 West to the bridge and also Cemetery Lane.' Mills continued by saying, 'As far as I know, we do own the roads.' The city had originally approached the county about taking over the ownership of the roads, but that offer was not accepted by Mona City.
