The Bluff Town Council is scheduled to approve Resolution #110 on October 6, 2026, to formally appoint Todd Godfrey as the Town Attorney. According to a draft resolution, the appointment is intended to follow a competitive process to find legal services that meet the town's specific needs and pricing requirements.
The resolution aims to ratify a legal services agreement that Mayor Josh Ewing executed on September 29, 2026. This agreement was previously approved by the Bluff Town Council during a meeting held on September 15, 2026. Under the terms of the resolution, Todd Godfrey, a partner at Hayes Godfrey Bell PC, will serve as Town Attorney effective September 29, 2026.
The selection of Hayes Godfrey Bell PC followed a request for proposals process. The Town Council reviewed multiple proposals from qualified law firms, evaluating their qualifications, experience, availability, and proposed costs. The council determined that the combination of experience and pricing offered by Todd Godfrey and his firm met the needs of the Town of Bluff.
The proposed resolution authorizes Todd Godfrey and Hayes Godfrey Bell PC to provide legal advice and representation to the town as authorized by the Town Council, Mayor, or Town Manager. This authority is subject to the terms and conditions of the legal services agreement and applicable Utah law.
The resolution, if passed, is scheduled for adoption on October 6, 2026. The vote will include Mayor Josh Ewing, Mayor Pro-Tem Stephen Britt Hornsby, and Town Council members Jennifer Davila, Gary Haws, and Spencer Wade.
