A past Vernal City Council member is hoping for another opportunity to serve. Nick Porter previously served on the Vernal City Council from 2020 to 2023. “During that term, I developed a passion for serving our community,” shares Porter. “Whether it was helping with the development and implementation of the Downtown Plan, serving on boards and committees, or being an advisor for the Youth City Council, these opportunities shaped and reinforced my appreciation for the community and serving its people.” Since that term ended, Porter has served as Vice Chair of the Planning Commission and has continued as an advisor for the Youth City Council. Porter says, “My priorities will be to continue investing in our infrastructure and the Downtown Area, updating our city code to better reflect the current needs of the community, and maintaining fiscal responsibility and transparency. I am committed to listening to the concerns of residents, answering questions, and helping in any way that I can.”
