Today, 652 days after approving this action, a year and half after terminating it and a month and a half since the AG letter, it still has not been effectively determine whether compliance in returning the tens of thousands of dollars has been completed. In fact, other than a response letter from HL&P declaring the money WILL be returned, it can not even be determined if any action has been taken to accomplish this.
However, in the July warrant list (pg 6 payments) for HL&P this item is found:
This INDICATES is that HLP paid Heber City $950.64 for the two councilmen on the Board ($475.32/month/man) for "JULY BOARD STIPEND" to share with all councilmen per their internal city agreement. HL&P then paid an additional $1,901.28 for "BOARD STIPEND JULY & EXTR" as July Bonus pay (perhaps for all those extra meetings?)
It may be coincidental that these "extra" payments were listed as paid two weeks AFTER the AG letter. As the warrants do not delineate individual payments to the other board members, it can only be assumed that similar TRIPLE payments were made to the entire Board.
At this time it is unknown if similar payments have been made in the past or are planned for the future. If repayments of fake pay of, say, $10,000 were required, an extra $1,000 per month were certainly soften the blow.
In April, a smaller bonus was also given (only double pay)

Who knows how many more payments have been (will be) made.
