Scofield council appoints new town treasurer, approves bills and sewer-operator stipend

At a recent Scofield Town Council meeting, councilors appointed Karen Ricky as town treasurer following the resignation of Sherry Satray and approved routine minutes and bills. The council also authorized paying the sewer operator $4.50 per night to stay at the town campground and to reimburse propane costs with receipts.

The appointment followed a review of two applicants. Unidentified Speaker 1 said the town conducted interviews and reference checks and "decided that Karen Ricky is the most qualified for this job," then moved to appoint her; Unidentified Speaker 2 seconded and the motion passed on an oral "Aye." The transcript alternately references "Karen Brickie" when listing candidates and records the motion naming "Karen Ricky"; the council formally recorded the appointment under the name shown in the motion.

On finance matters, Unidentified Speaker 1 reported account balances including a General Fund of $58,437.35 and a Utility Fund of $314,659.72 (spoken as of "10/31/25"). The council moved to pay the bills for the month; Unidentified Speaker 2 made the motion and a second was recorded, with the council responding "Aye." The transcript does not include a roll-call vote or individual tallies.

Councilors discussed the sewer operator's travel costs, which Unidentified Speaker 1 said amount to about $1,200 a month because the operator travels roughly 2½ hours each way from Spanish Fork. To reduce that expense, Unidentified Speaker 2 moved to pay $4.50 per night plus the price of propane with receipts; the motion was seconded and approved on an oral "Aye." Unidentified Speaker 1 said the stipend and reimbursements should save the town at least half of the current travel-related expense.

The meeting ended after other routine business and a public-comment period.
