  • Nephi City Council to meet in new facilities


By Myrna Trauntvein

The last meeting of the Nephi City Council in the city building was held on Tuesday.

From now on out, the council will meet in the large meeting room at the new Nephi City Public Safety (Nephi City Police Department) building which was once the Juab School District office building.

Before that, it was a seminary building for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The former district board meeting room will now be used by the council for their council meetings.

"Before the next council meeting," said Randy McKnight, city administrator, "we will have begun remodeling of the old council chambers into an addition to the city library."

The justice court has physically moved to the county building and will use the county court room for court. Office space has been found for the city justice court secretary.

"We are not certain what we will find when we begin the demolition this week," said McKnight.

Once the walls that separate the library from the addition have been torn down, he said, the city will plan the new look of the library and will begin work on the remodeling phase of the project.

"This room will be physically gone by the next council meeting, if all goes as planned," said McKnight.
