Payson City Council · January 8, 2026

Summary

Fire Chief Spencer updated council on Station 92 design progress, mutual-aid arrangements and a recent structure fire; he also announced the death of a firefighter EMT and described planned vigils and funeral arrangements.

Chief Spencer (S13) told council work on Station 92 is progressing: a contractor and architect are engaged, floor plans are being refined and the conceptual footprint remains largely unchanged. He said the city is working with UDOT on access concerns and described the next steps in finalizing details for the station.
