Office seeker for Rich County Auditor-Anneliesa Peart by Randall Knight

 Thank you so much for reaching out to me! I’d love to answer your questions.

1. Why am I applying for the position?

1. I have had my eye on an opportunity like this since moving into Rich County 3 years ago. Before I moved here, I worked for Layton City in the Community and Economic Development Department as the Administrative Secretary. I worked for Bill Wright (since retired) and City Planner, Tim Watkins in Planning and Zoning. This provided me with an opportunity to coordinate subdivisions, rezones, annexations, etc. for the City and to administer to and take minutes for the Planning Commission. I also worked closely with City Council members and the former Mayor, Bob Stevenson. Mr. Stevenson is currently a County Commissioner for Davis County.
2. Since Becky Peart is retiring, I hope to fill her role—even though she has big shoes to fill!

2. How long have I lived in Utah and in Rich County?

1. I have lived in Utah for over 20 years. I married a local rancher, Brandon Peart, in 2018 and relocated to Rich County. Brandon is the son of Dan and Donna Peart. The Peart’s have lived and ranched in this county for several generations.

3. What are my credentials for this position?

1. I currently work for Bear Lake County as a Deputy Clerk in the Sixth District Judicial Court.
2. I have several years’ experience working in various administrative office positions—office manager, administrative assistant, visa & travel coordinator, accounting specialist, etc.
3. I have a Bachelor’s Degree from Brigham Young University and I am currently working on my Master’s Degree from Western Governor’s University.

4. What experience do I have working with county and state level agencies?

1. I have previous experience working both with Davis County in Utah and in Bear Lake County in Idaho. My experience working with State Agencies has mostly been with the Utah Lieutenant Governor’s Office. I have been a notary public and I have coordinated with their office regarding visas and travel documentations.

5. What experience do I have working with the county court system?

1. I currently work for Bear Lake County as a District Court Clerk. I recently obtained this employment and the experience has been both interesting and beneficial. If elected, I would have had a year’s experience in district court by the time I took office.

6. What experience do I have working with the state property tax office?

1. I do not have experience working directly with this office other than as a home-owner in West Valley City. However   i.     As a small business owner, I have worked with Utah’s Tax Access Point (TAP) to file quarterly taxes.  ii.     I worked for 2 ½ years as an accounting specialist for Hose & Rubber Supply in Randolph. This is a satellite accounting and HR office for a Sale Lake City-based company, which has over 7 branches throughout the Intermountain West. In this role, I helped oversee business expenses and process invoices, including annual property taxes.

7.     What are examples of my organizational skills?

1. When I have served as an administrative assistant, my job was to keep myself and other executives organized. I am extremely task-oriented and I utilize Microsoft Outlook to keep me on track. In my personal life and business, I use the Microsoft To-Do app.
2. I have completed a project management training course.

8. Am I computer literate in Excel, Word, PowerPoint, voice recorders and playback?

1. Yes. I have advanced skills in Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Visio. I am familiar with several additional software programs such as Adobe Acrobat Pro and InDesign, etc. I currently work with a recording system utilized by the Idaho Supreme Court.

I hope to meet you either before or at the convention. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out with any more questions or concerns. I’m happy to provide information.

I can keep you updated with my website information once I get that set up.
