Council approves pay for elected officers and construction‑site sanitation, tables drainage ordinance; dog ban passes
Summary
On June 11 the Mayfield Town Council approved an ordinance raising elected‑official compensation, passed a parks dog prohibition and a construction‑site sanitation rule requiring dumpsters and portable restrooms, and tabled a detailed drainage/culvert ordinance for revision.
At the June 11 meeting the Mayfield Town Council read and took action on four ordinances.
Ordinance 20‑25‑1 (compensation): After discussion and a roll‑call vote, the council adopted monthly compensation levels for elected officers effective July 1, 2025: mayor $325 per month and council members $125 per month. The ordinance also allows mileage reimbursement consistent with Utah Department of Finance rules.
Ordinance 20‑25‑2 (drainage): The council read a comprehensive drainage and minimum culvert‑size ordinance that prescribes specific diameters for defined stretches (for example, Southfield ditch minimum 30‑inch diameter in some reaches, Canyon Road segments at 24 and 18 inches, and a minimum 12‑inch requirement for property approaches). Members identified drafting issues and a recommended boundary wording change (extending a referenced reach to Highway 137). The council agreed to amend and return the drainage ordinance to the next meeting rather than adopt it immediately.
Ordinance 20‑25‑3 (parks/dogs): The council passed an ordinance prohibiting dogs in Mayfield parks, exempting service animals consistent with the ADA. A motion to approve carried by voice vote.
Ordinance 20‑25‑4 (construction‑site sanitation): The council approved rules requiring dumpsters and portable restrooms at construction sites, citing Utah administrative code for minimum sanitation and accessibility standards; the ordinance passed by voice vote and becomes effective upon proper publication.
Votes at a glance: compensation ordinance approved by roll call; drainage ordinance tabled for revision; parks dog ban approved by voice vote; construction‑site sanitation ordinance approved by voice vote.
What happens next: staff will revise the drainage ordinance language and return it for further consideration; ordinances approved will be published and implemented per the town's effective‑date procedures.
