Top issues during term (20)
First-ever transportation impact fee delayed
New development would pay roughly $1,333 per single-family home and variable commercial rates, freeing general-fund and B&C road money for road maintenance instead of new construction.
Downtown CC-1/CAP zoning overhaul
Existing businesses are grandfathered in; redevelopments over $500,000 would need to meet the new facade standards.
How Payson should handle growth
Lift stations for small subdivisions could add long-term costs for all ratepayers.
Retail Recruitment Strategies
New retail and restaurants would broaden Payson's sales-tax base, though specific figures weren't given.
Utility Billing Fairness Concern
No direct cost; the changes affect how utility bills are averaged and recalculated for participating customers.
Community Beautification and Just Serve Designation
Volunteer labor saves the city maintenance costs it would otherwise pay for.
Downtown Gateway Plan Implementation
Funded in part by a Mountainland Association of Governments TAG grant.
Adoption of Storm Water Management Plan
No direct new cost to residents; the plan documents existing staffing and maintenance obligations, and staff noted the department is shorthanded.
Fire Station 92 Construction
Cost picture expected within two weeks; chief hopes the project is on or under budget.
Rising power bills and the EDAM market
Residents saw significantly higher utility bills this summer; the power cost adjustment acts as a shock absorber until the new plant and market fixes lower costs.
Lobbyist Consulting Agreement
Reported at roughly $20,000 per month, which Moss called more than double what comparable cities pay.
Racetrack to Firehouse Transmission Line Easement / Eminent Domain
A judge would set just compensation; the city says its offer exceeds what it paid for other easements on the line.
Forebay Area Stewardship
Limited costs for herbicide and possible equipment rental; largely volunteer labor.
Outdoor Recreation Strategic Plan
Not specified; parking lot extension design is on hold pending the county's plans.
Interchange infrastructure funding and WIFIA deadline
$47,000 secured for approved drive-approach curb work; interchange costs carried by UDOT.
CenCore Project
Hundreds of new jobs with higher-than-average wages could boost local housing demand, spending, and tax revenue.
D-S Meat Processing subdivision homes on Canyon Road
19 homes could be built; nearby residents worry about added traffic on two limited exits.
Sinking road patch near senior community
Uses roughly $3 million in county-administered grant funds already secured — no new city money mentioned.
Payson Canyon fire response
The responsible party will be fined and billed for suppression costs.
State legislative pressure on housing and zoning
Unknown, though the changes could shape how much park and open space the city gets from future developments.
