Uintah City Council again tables ordinance on pay increases for city officers
Summary
The Uintah City Council on Sept. 16 tabled Ordinance 298-25, which would enact compensation increases for certain city officers, saying the item should be decided with full council participation; Council Member Bell denied social-media claims that she drafted or sponsored a 100% pay increase.
The Uintah City Council on Sept. 16 voted to table Ordinance 298-25, a proposal to increase compensation for specified city officers, so the full council can be present for the discussion. Council Member Bell moved to table; Council Member Patterson seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Bell addressed circulating misinformation, saying she did not draft or sponsor the ordinance and that "at no time has there been a 100% increase in council pay, nor has such a number ever been entertained or discussed." City Attorney Bryan Baron advised the council that tabling the item until the next meeting was procedurally permissible.
The ordinance has been an ongoing topic for council consideration; councilors said they prefer full transparency and a public vote when all members can attend. The council did not set a new date for final consideration; the item remains tabled pending the next regular meeting.
