Scofield council appoints new treasurer, approves minutes and operator lodging stipend
Summary
At a Scofield town council meeting, members approved revised minutes, paid bills, appointed a replacement treasurer after a resignation, authorized a $4.50 lodging stipend plus propane reimbursement for the sewer operator, and recorded several routine administrative updates.
The Scofield Town Council approved routine minutes and bills, appointed a new town treasurer and authorized a modest lodging stipend and propane reimbursement for the sewer operator during its meeting.
Chair (speaker S1) opened the meeting, led procedural items and moved to appoint a replacement after Treasurer Sherry Satray submitted her resignation. The Chair moved that the council "appoint Karen" as the new treasurer; the transcript records the appointee's surname inconsistently (appearing as "Brickie" and later as "Ricky"), and the motion carried with the councilmembers present voting in favor.
The council also voted to accept revised minutes for the Sept. 8, 2025 meeting and to accept minutes from Oct. 13, 2025 after motions from Committee member (S2). Members present voted "aye" on both motions. The council approved payment of the monthly bills after no questions were raised.
On account adjustments, the Chair reported an account adjustment of $270 for Dwayne Sutherland in exchange for several thousand dollars' worth of handrail work his family is performing for the town; the adjustment is conditional on Sutherland maintaining the work going forward.
The council discussed compensation for the sewer operator, who has been commuting from Spanish Fork (about 2.5 hours each way, described in the record as costing the town approximately $1,200 per month in travel pay). Chair proposed allowing the operator to stay in the campground for a stipend of $4.50 (recorded in the meeting) plus reimbursement for propane receipts; Committee member (S2) moved to approve $4.50 plus propane reimbursement, the motion was seconded and carried by the members present. The record does not specify the time unit attached to the $4.50 figure (e.g., per day or per night); the council's motion authorized the stipend and receipt-based propane reimbursement as recorded.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that carried; the Chair announced the time as 7:28 p.m.
Next steps and procedural notes: the council did not vote on appointments to the Scofield School restoration board at this meeting; the Chair said current board members will meet to complete those appointments.
