In a report published September 15, the mayor outlined various town activities and projects occurring throughout August and September 2026. The document highlighted initiatives regarding cybersecurity, water system management, and municipal code enforcement.
Regarding cybersecurity, officials attended a workshop where water system security was a primary focus. The report noted that all water systems in Utah must develop a Water System Cybersecurity Plan, and grants are available to assist with this process. This follows a discovery three weeks prior to the report that 14 SCADA systems in Utah were listed on a dark website and were accessible from the internet. Consequently, Torrey's SCADA systems require a cybersecurity review.
In water management efforts, work is underway to determine current ERU usage and commitments. Discussions are also ongoing regarding the optimal location for a new well.
Code enforcement updates include the readiness of Title 12 Code Enforcement for review and adoption. Drafted contracts for a code enforcement official and a hearing officer were noted. Frank Nakamura will serve as the hearing officer and will also act as the appeals officer for P&Z appeals and variance requests, as required by state law 10-99a-107.
The Torrey Operations Modernization Project involves creating a draft documents organization plan and converting the backroom into a workspace for the clerk, treasurer, and other staff. Additionally, a list of procedures is being created to document all town requirements.
Regarding the post office, a needs analysis has been submitted to the USPS. The town is seeking support letters from citizens and businesses to submit to the USPS, and a draft letter of support was sent to a staffer for Senator Curts to sign and submit.
Information technology updates include the start of an email migration. An old desktop and laptop were wiped and are scheduled to be taken to ICS in Richfield for recycling.
The report also noted the recognition of Patriots Day, stating that on September 11, town flags will fly at half-staff through sunset to honor those lost and the first responders and veterans who have served.
