Following the swearing-in ceremony at Nephi City
Council on Tuesday, council members received their new
assignments for the year.
In addition, Mayor Chad Brough appointed three city
staff members to continued service.
"I will ask the council to ratify the appointment of
Blair Painter, for a two year position as city recorder,"
said Brough.
Linda Wilson, city treasurer, was appointed to a
two-year term and Sharla Williams, city justice court judge,
was appointed to a four-year term.
Painter, as city recorder, administered the oath of
office to the three newly elected council members at the
beginning of council meeting in a ceremony conducted before
friends, family, and interested citizens.
Of the three, Robert Painter was the only new council
member. He replaced Kent Park, who was not re-elected, on
the council.
Hold-over council members who also took the oath of
office were Jim Wilkey and Brent Bowles.
For the coming year, Mike Jones, will serve as mayor
pro tem, a job formerly held by council member, Jim
Wilkey.
Jones' other jobs will be to serve as a director on
the Intermountain Municipal Gas Agency Board, as a voting
director on the Juab Rural Development Agency Board, and as
an alternate on the Recreation Advisory Board.
Bowles will serve as the liaison with the Miss Nephi
Committee, will be a board member on the Recreation Advisory
Board, and a director on the Juab Rural Development Agency
Board.
"We will orient you on your assignments, Robert
(Painter)," said Brough.
Painter will be a representative of the council on the
Six County Association of Governments, a representative on
the Six County Economic Development District, and a board
member of the Central Utah Correctional Facility.
"I was on the Central Utah Correctional Facility
Board," said Wilkey. "They meet in the day and it was
difficult to get to the meetings."
"My employment will be flexible enough to allow me to
attend the meetings," said R. Painter.
Council member, Greg Rowley, will be a board member on
the Community Economic development Agency, liaison with the
Nephi City Planning Commission, and a board member on
Special Service District #1.
Wilkey will be a board member of the Nephi Public
Library Board, liaison with the Nephi City Chamber of
Commerce, and liaison with the Airport Advisory Board.
Williams' four-year appointment as justice court judge
will be effective on Feb. 2, 2004.
