Trustees review accounting fees and staffing; mayor to compile 2026 priorities with water an immediate focus
Summary
Contract accountant Travis Boyd reported approximately 500 hours over 16 weeks; trustees requested monthly invoices and discussed transitioning administrative duties while the mayor compiles a shared 2026 priorities document with immediate attention to municipal and irrigation water rights.
The board heard from accounting contractor Travis Boyd, who said he spent about 500 hours on town business over the past 16 weeks (roughly 32 hours per week) and explained that invoices are itemized day by day. Trustees asked for monthly invoices going forward and thanked Boyd for the work he has done.
Board members discussed transitioning some administrative duties to staff (Heather was mentioned as a potential transition point) and the mayor said she would continue some hiring-related preparations to allow Boyd to focus on election work. Trustees emphasized that municipal and irrigation water-rights work must be prioritized; the mayor agreed to assemble a shared priorities document (a Google document) for staff to follow in 2026.
During the discussion an audience member asked, "Do you guys have a timeline?" and the mayor replied she could not provide one at the time. The board also acknowledged a DOLA review comment on the budget that Travis Boyd had responded to; specific budget numbers were not detailed in the discussion.
