He said that Lisa Brough, former city recorder and finance director, had been over the military relations when she was a council member prior to working for the city. She had banners made of those serving in the military, working with Miss Nephi, on the project.

“It was a Miss Nephi project,” said Brough. “We still have some money in that fund.”

“We have had Larry Ostler, a former council member, representing us on the fire board,” said Seely.

Representing Nephi on the Utah Municipal Power Agency as voting members of the board will be Mayor Seely, and Parady. The alternate will be Rust Finlinson, city power department superintendent.

Sitting on the Central Utah Regional Dispatch Agency as voting members will be Atkinson, and Nephi City Police Chief Chief Mike Morgan.
