Rich County Commissioner’s Information July 6, 2022

 

Agenda:

Pledge

10:00     Concerns about the traffic going through Randolph on their way to Bear Lake were presented by Sim Bell. Some of the traffic doesn’t slow down. He asked if the Board had any solutions. Suggestions were made to place a patrol car at the various places to make people think police are on duty and  watching for speeders. A fun suggestion was asking UDOT to paint the road in very large print.  “Slow Down, you’re in a town”.

10:30 Ben Willoughby suggested that 3 ordinances be updated. He had located the only two ordinance books for Rich County and found that some of the ordinances were hand written 50 years ago.

The first ordinance of discussion was, “Providing for Theft or Crime Insurance in Lieu of Fidelity Bonds for County Offices”. The State of Utah updated their laws in 2007 and the board decided to go with Mr. Willoughby’s outline. (This was much more fun in person than on paper)!

The second ordinance dealt with “Control of Dogs and other Pets”. The Ordinance had been written in 1981 requiring all dogs to be licensed once a year and the Sheriff was in charge of enforcing the ordinance. Ben will write the new ordinance with input from other cities. No wild animals are to be kept as pets. (Ok people-that means no alligators in your pool).

The Beehive ordinance was the last ordinance discussed. Ben suggested repealing the Rich County Ordinance and replacing it with the Utah State Code. Also, beekeepers will need to notify the Rich County clerk annually where the beehives are located so that aerial spraying can be done safely for the bees.

A tougher discussion was the per diem expenses incurred by officals of the County attending meetings. This has to be written out because of liability to the County and the attendee.

11:30 Eden Ranch Subdivision Phase 3 plat amendment to combine 3 lots into 2. Approved.

Krystal Butterfield shared the legal Description of the Road shed and deed. Approved with exemptions..

After lunch Kim Wilson presented the Personal Property and Assessment Roll Corrections. Approved. It was also discussed as to the ever changing tax laws that there probably will be an increase in taxes for 2023.

There will be a public hearing next month for the changes in the Ordinances.

You can watch the proceedings on Facebook for Jon Lee commissioner.
