Council appoints Darren Curtis as Mona City administrative law judge amid procedural questions
Summary
Mona City Council approved Resolution 2026-10 appointing Darren Curtis as the city’s administrative law judge; council members asked for follow-up on where hearings will be held and whether the city can pass the judge’s fee (capped at $300) to litigants.
Mona City Council voted May 26 to approve Resolution 2026-10 appointing Darren Curtis as Mona City’s administrative law judge.
The resolution drew questions from several council members about logistics before the vote: where administrative hearings would be held, whether the $300 fee noted in the resolution is a one-time charge or a per-case fee, and whether the city could pass that fee on to parties in cases. One council member said the county has not cooperated in handling some local cases and characterized the appointment as an alternative route for resolving matters that have stalled with the county. Staff said they would follow up with the attorney to clarify venue, fee structure and whether the fee must appear on the city fee schedule before being passed along.
Council moved and seconded the measure and approved the resolution by voice vote (multiple members responded “Aye”). No individual roll-call vote or individual ayes were named in the transcript.
What happens next: staff and the city attorney will provide logistics about hearing venue and the fee schedule. The council discussion did not resolve whether the $300 charge (described in the resolution as “not more than $300”) is a one-time or per-case charge, and the council requested that those details be clarified before fee implementation.
