Summary

The council confirmed Tom Jorgensen as Public Works Director and approved his appointment to the Sensitive Lands Committee; both measures passed unanimously.

The Ivins City Council approved two personnel and committee actions related to public works.

First, the council appointed Tom Jorgensen to serve as Public Works Director (resolution 2025-19R). Councilmembers praised Jorgensen's experience and said the appointment enables a split role with operations led by an existing operations manager so the city can maintain both engineering and field operations capacity.

Second, the council approved a separate resolution (2025-20R) to name Jorgensen as the city's representative to the Sensitive Lands Committee; that committee reviews and advises on conservation-sensitive land issues.

Both appointments were approved by roll-call vote and are effective immediately. City staff said recruitment is underway for an additional junior engineer to support engineering tasks.
