Brigham City has appointed Karina Christensen as the new city treasurer, succeeding Diane Reichardt, who recently passed away. Christensen, previously the deputy treasurer, has been with the city for over five years and is praised for her capability and experience in the finance office. The appointment was confirmed during a city council meeting, where council members expressed their confidence in Christensen's ability to lead the treasurer's office.
The meeting also marked a farewell for Christina Boss, who is retiring after years of dedicated service to the city council. Boss was recognized for her contributions and support in maintaining the council's operations, receiving flowers and heartfelt appreciation from her colleagues.
Additionally, the Brigham City Fire Department welcomed several new hires, including firefighters and emergency medical technicians, who were sworn in during the meeting. The new recruits were celebrated for their energy and skills, with their families present for the badge-pinning ceremony. Two promotions within the fire department were also announced, recognizing Todd Love and Eric Blachhouse as engineers, a role that involves significant technical expertise in operating fire engines and managing emergency situations.
The council meeting highlighted the city's commitment to continuity in leadership and the importance of recognizing the contributions of its employees, both new and retiring.
