  • New Council members sworn in at Mona Council meeting

Two Mona Town Council members were sworn into office on Tuesday evening at the beginning of council meeting.

Nila Keyte, town clerk, administered the oath of office to Doran Kay, incumbent, and to Glenda Buchanan.

Kay was re-elected to the position on a write-in vote last November. Buchanan took the position vacated by Rhett Thalman who did not seek re election.

Mona Mayor Bryce Lynn made assignments to council members for the coming year.

Lynn will no longer be over solid waste. He assigned himself to be over the posts of building/construction/housing and the budget. Both are new to his jurisdiction this year. Lynn will also continue to be the liaison with the town attorney and with city personnel.

Buchanan did not take over the same council assignments Thalman had with the exception of the law enforcement category. She will oversee the town's animal control, the natural gas department, and will sit on the JRDA (Juab Rural Development Agency) board.

Lynn appointed Rick Schnurr as mayor pro tem, number one, in Lynn's absence. Kay has held that position in the past. Schnurr was mayor pro tem number two before the change and will be over the Planning and Zoning Commission, town streets, and the electrical department.

Kay will now oversee solid waste disposal, the fire department, and will sit on the JRDA board as one of two of the town's representatives. He will continue to be over the town water department.

Darlene Fowkes will continue to oversee community beautification, parks/cemetery/town office and recreation.

Lynn also appointed the following town personnel for the year 2000. Allen Pay, animal control; building official, Jeff Boyd; cemetery sexton, Lorna Squire; Clerk, Nila Keyte; Meter Reader, Denise Pay; Planning and Zoning Chair, Jeff Boyd; Park's Superintendent, Lorna Squire; Secretary/Treasurer, Scott Nelson; water master, Allen Pay.
