Mayfield Council raises elected-official pay, bans dogs in parks and requires construction-site restrooms; drainage ordinance tabled
Summary
During the June 11 meeting the council adopted four town ordinances of which three were enacted: (1) modest monthly compensation for mayor and council, (2) a ban on dogs in parks (service animals exempt), and (3) a requirement for dumpsters and portable restrooms at construction sites. The drainage/culvert ordinance was read but tabled for revisions.
The Mayfield Town Council read and acted on four proposed ordinances at the June 11 meeting following the public hearing portion of the agenda.
Ordinance 2025‑1 establishes monthly compensation for elected officers effective July 1, 2025: the mayor’s monthly pay is set at $325 and council members at $125. The measure also confirms mileage and travel reimbursement rules tied to the Utah Department of Finance rates. After council discussion a motion to adopt was made, seconded and carried on a roll-call vote.
Council read Ordinance 2025‑2, a drainage-standard ordinance that would set minimum culvert diameters for defined town drainage reaches (for example, larger-size requirements for the Southfield ditch and specified Canyon Road segments) and require town approval for property approaches; members raised language and boundary questions about extent of coverage and a drafting duplication and agreed to revise the text and return the ordinance to a future agenda.
Ordinance 2025‑3 prohibits dogs in Mayfield Town parks with an exemption for service animals consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act; council voted to adopt after a motion and second. Ordinance 2025‑4 requires that construction sites within town limits provide leak-proof dumpsters and adequate portable-restroom facilities (including an ADA-accessible unit ratio), cites Utah Administrative Code requirements, and prescribes inspection and enforcement options including stop-work orders and fines; the council adopted that ordinance as read.
Council members said enforcement will be managed by town officials (the mayor as local ordinance enforcer was referenced during discussion) and that appeals and formal penalties would be handled through the process described in the ordinances.
