Scope and Content

The Brian Head town council is responsible for exercising the community's legislative and executive powers (see Utah Code Unannotated, 1992, 10-3-101). At incorporation (1975) the town board consisted of a mayor and four council members who were responsible for all aspects of town management. In 1988 Brian Head officially replaced the traditional town government with the manager/council form of government. Since that date the traditional town council shares responsibilities with a town manager, who is officially included as a member of the council.
