Here are a few of my emails to Robert.
Robert
I was reviewing the Family Search Plat recorded by Utah County on July 9th, 2015. It appears that the subdivision was accepted and approved by the Lehi Public Works Director and Chief Building Official on behalf of the Legislative Body of the City of Lehi on June 24th, 2015. I can make out the name Gary Smith on the recorded document as the Chief Building Official, however, I am unable to make out the signature of the Public Works Director. Could you please take a look at the Family Search Plat subdivision and provide me with the name of the person who signed as the Public Works Director.
Thank you
Bill Conley

Can you verify Todd Munger signature on the Family Search plat? I would like to see a copy of his signature.
Secondly, it does not matter that the city believes a plat is more comprehensive than meets and bounds, the code clearly states, the recording documents are to be meters and bounds, NOT A PLAT!
I have found numerous examples where the city us not following its own code, this is just one very clear example. This needs to be corrected. The city can't pick and choose which of its codes it enforces, they must live to the letter of the law as they, the city has defined it. Read Chapter 28 of the resort community code, there are numerous examples where the city is not enforced the code as it is written.
Can't pick and choose.

Thank you for pointing that out, it is an important distinction. This is ONLY relevant for Chapter 28 or are the Chief Building Official and Public Works Director designated as having authority, on behalf of the City Council, to approve and sign final documents elsewhere? If so, where and I requested some type of document identifying them as having been given authority, does one exist? Or is it ONLY in the language you referenced?
The designation of a plat versus metes and bounds needs to be corrected at the County! The code says metes and bounds, not plat.
As for other enforcement examples.
Check out Chapter 2.14, Campaign Finance Disclosure REQUIREMENTS FOR CANDIDATES, 2.14.030 "Each candidate for elective offices shall file with the city recorder, dated, signed and sworn financial reports which comply with this chapter. The reports required by this chapter shall be filed at least 14 days before BOTH THE PRIMARY AND GENERAL ELECTIONS..."
This was not adhered to and nobody seems to care! This was handed out by either the city attorney, mayor or city recorder at a meet the mayor night, this MUST be adhered to, otherwise, why hand it out? Not everyone handed their financial disclosures in on time. Marilyn even sent out an email requesting we hand out disclosures in by July 28th, 5 pm, 14 days prior to the primary. If we were not required to hand one in at all, why did she send out the email. I still contend, Kim Holmes is disqualified from running in the November ballot and I have contacted the Lieutenants Governor's office for a ruling. However, I think the city of Lehi needs to step up and adhere to the code as it is written! I know mistakes were made and I want them corrected.
Chapter 28 Resort Community Zone
Several enforcement issues and problems that nobody seems to care about and are not enforced by current city government. I will point out a couple relevant sections and words within these sections.
Section 28.010
C. "Outside the state"
D. "While protecting the health, safety and long term welfare of the community." This phrase is used by multiple departments, BUT NEVER SUBSTANTIATED! In the future, I request that that those who use these words, substantial their position in writing. Words are just words and mean nothing if there is nothing backing them. This phrase is never questioned and should be.
F. "dedicating land or utilizing certain space within the Resort Community Zone at no cost to the city." This certainly has not happened. When is the city going to start enforcing their own code?
Section 07.050 Public support REQUIREMENTS
A-D, not happening! When is this going to be enforced?
These are but a few of the codes that I believe enforcement by the city is lacking and there is no consequence to those breaking or enforcing the code.
Thanks
