RANDOLPH, Utah.  March 4, 2015.  Andy Stokes a citizen from Garden City approached the county commissioners to inquire how the school redistricting activity is progressing.  He noted that several citizens on the northern end of the county had  had a meeting concerning this issue.   

This group of citizens asked Stokes to approach the commissioners to see if they could perhaps set some benchmarks to make sure the project was completed by July 1, 2015.  Stokes suggested that the public hearing be held in April and then information about the progress should be submitted to the Lieutenant Governor’s Office in May.  June could be used make sure that if any new individuals need to be appointed to the board, it could be completed then.  If these benchmarks are met, the redistricting would be completed by the July 1 date.  

Commissioner  Bill Cox noted that the county appointed committee is working on the issue .  He felt that the committee needs to look at all options and make sure that they do the best job possible.  He noted that he realized that people on the northern end of the county are concerned, but he feels that the committee will be able to get the redistricting completed by the July 1 date.
