Nibley City Council voted Oct. 16 to approve Ordinance 25‑32, which adjusts department‑head compensation and raises the city recreation director’s salary.

Staff said state law recently required posting annual salaries for department heads and that the city had discussed the matter while trying to remain competitive. The city administrator and mayor described the recreation program as a regional example and said retaining the recreation director was a priority.

Members of the public and council praised Recreation Director Chad Wright. A resident said Wright’s program quality had persuaded staff to accept employment in the city; public comments noted Wright’s regional reputation and the department’s community partnerships. The council opened the public hearing and heard comments before a motion to adopt the ordinance and to waive a second reading.

Council made a motion (Nathan moved; Aaron seconded) to adopt Ordinance 25‑32 and waive the second reading. The motion passed unanimously by roll call. Staff said the change is intended to keep the city’s recreation program competitive and retain leadership.

No additional conditions were attached to the ordinance; staff will implement the salary change and post the required salary information per state law.
