✓ Decided: Council approves temporary interlocal agreement to share city attorney with Uintah County (4-0)
The city council approved amendments to water rates, a new public defender contract, and a temporary interlocal agreement to share the city attorney with Uintah County. The water rate amendment includes a four-year review cycle and shifts the effective date of annual adjustments to January 2028. The public defender contract sets compensation at $6,000 per month. The interlocal agreement, modified to a three-month term with termination flexibility, allows the city attorney to assist the county prosecutor's office during staffing shortages.
