Raises approved for BC mayor, council, executive officers

The Brigham City Council approved a new compensation schedule for the mayor, council members, and various executive municipal officers during a July 16 meeting. This decision followed a mandatory public hearing, ensuring compliance with state legal requirements for adjusting the pay of elected and appointed city leadership.

Under the newly adopted fiscal year 2026-27 ordinance, the city has finalized pay rates for high-level officials, including the city administrator set at $207,000, the city attorney at $200,000, and the assistant city administrator/public power director at $173,388. These adjustments reflect the city's updated budgetary priorities for the upcoming year.

The approval of these salary increases directly impacts the municipal budget and has drawn public interest regarding the compensation levels of local government personnel. As the city moves into the new fiscal year, these figures represent the official commitment of Brigham City to its administrative and leadership staffing structure.
