Resident asks council to reject 'sanctuary' mailer claims, reports sinking sewer patch

Payson City Council · May 20, 2026

Summary

A Payson resident said she has received solicitations about a 'referendum on sanctuary status' and asked whether the city will become a sanctuary city (the mayor replied 'No'); she also reported a sinking road patch near a sewer line by a daycare and requested city inspection and repair.

At the public forum, Laurel Noise told the council she had received multiple fundraising mailers described as a "referendum on sanctuary status" and said she was unsure where the money would go. When she asked the council whether Payson would become a sanctuary city, the mayor replied, "No."

Noise also reported a safety and maintenance concern: a patched section of road near a sewer line installation by a daycare is sinking and worsening. Council staff agreed to notify the road superintendent and to follow up on repairs. Noise said she would leave contact information with the recorder.
