Hyrum council to vote on sewer master plan and lower fire pay ranges

HYRUM - The Hyrum City Council will vote Thursday, Nov. 5, on a sewer collection master plan that city documents call the "first step in updating the City's sewer impact fees, which have not been comprehensively reviewed or revised in more than twenty years," according to the meeting packet.

Resolution 26-28 covers the collection system only. A separate plan for the water reclamation facility is expected in the first quarter of 2027, the packet says.

Ordinance 26-23 would lower the hourly pay ranges for fire department positions from $22, $30 and $38 to $17, $23.50 and $30. The ordinance says the ranges adopted June 18 "were set higher than requested by the Hyrum Fire Department" and that the fire chief asked for the change. The packet does not say whether any current wage would change.

The council will also consider 2027 recreation fees, after several youth programs reached full capacity in 2026, and a $110,780 sole-source design contract with WSP for switchgear at the city's Substation 3. The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers, 60 W. Main.

Why this matters

Sewer impact fees are charged on new construction, so the master plan sets up the first rewrite of those fees in two decades.
