Staff reports highlight low snowpack and recreation planning; chamber and Miss Payson recognized

Payson City Council · March 18, 2026

Summary

Staff warned of record-low snow and precipitation under 10,000 feet and announced a state grant for outdoor recreation planning. The council also recognized The HeART Collective and heard community notices including a candidate announcement and a Miss Payson pageant invitation.

During the March 18 meeting Payson City staff reported on several community items. Public Works Director Travis Jockumsen said statewide snowpack and local SNOTEL sites are unusually low: "Data shows that there is no snow in Utah under 10,000 feet including local SNOTEL sites." Planning staff announced an outdoor recreation planning grant from the Utah Department of Natural Resources to help connect recreation areas and regional parks.

The council also paused for community recognition. Josh Barlow of the Payson Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce recognized Katie Higley and The HeART Collective for serving more than 600 students through arts programs, and Miss Payson Adrie Rogers invited residents to the Miss Payson pageant on March 21. Councilmember Anne Moss said more than 700 people attended a library feasibility open house. Chief Scott Spencer told the council that "anyone can sign up online on Everbridge for emergency notifications."
