The Cache County Council voted on multiple ordinances and resolutions at its Dec. meeting. Key outcomes:
- Ordinance 2025‑41 (County Treasurer Compensation Correction): Passed. Council suspended the rules and approved a clerical correction to the treasurer's previously adopted compensation; staff confirmed the correction had been budgeted.
- Ordinance 2025‑42 (County Council Leadership Election and Succession): Passed with amendment to use gender‑neutral pronouns. The ordinance specifies nomination periods, roll‑call voting unless by acclamation, successive rounds until a majority is reached when multiple nominees exist, and succession procedures for unexpected vacancies; council suspended rules to adopt the ordinance after amending pronoun language.
- Resolution 2025‑44 (2025 fourth-quarter budget opening amendment): Passed. The auditor reported returning $289,165 to fund balance among other technical revenue and expense adjustments.
- Resolution 2025‑45 (Cache County Fire Protection District interlocal agreement): Passed. The council authorized an interlocal agreement to begin a phased transition toward an elected district board and instructed staff to prepare redlined comparisons to prior agreements for review.
- Resolution 2025‑46 (Change to elected Fire Protection District Board): Passed. Council approved bylaws to change the district to a five‑member elected board (four district seats outside Logan plus one at-large seat), with staggered terms and timelines aligned to election cycles.
- Resolution 2025‑47 (Premium pay for Special Victims Unit prosecutors): Passed. The council approved premium pay for the county's Special Victims Unit attorneys; staff said the premium‑pay program is already budgeted and intended to aid retention.
- Ordinance 2025‑36 (Cache County Council member compensation): After extensive discussion and several failed motions to raise pay, the council ultimately voted to keep existing salaries unchanged for the coming year (council members $24,000; chair $30,000). Multiple motions to increase pay to $30,000, $33,000 and variations with a higher chair salary failed by recorded voice votes; the motion to keep salaries at current levels passed.
Votes were taken by voice in most cases; where roll‑call or recorded details were requested, councilors asked staff to follow up with formal roll calls or redlined documents as needed for record‑keeping.
