Friday I filed to run for Utah County Surveyor for a second term. I believe it is important for the Surveyor to be accountable to the people because we do many things that can affect the people of this great county.
The Utah County Surveyor's race
may not be the hottest race this campaign season, but the Surveyor actually plays
a very important role in property rights.
The surveyor administers
the county land survey records, re-establishes and maintains the official
government survey monuments (objects placed to mark key survey points on the
Earth's surface) and reviews property boundary surveys and subdivision
plans. Wow, that sounds boring, but it
really isn't! I'm passionate about it because in short, what the surveyor does
protects your property rights. I have been working diligently for over 30 years protecting
YOUR property rights and am committed and passionate about continuing that
process.
I have lived and worked in Utah
County all my life. My wife Michelle and
I have five children and five grandchildren
with one more on the way. I have worked
in the surveyor's office for 34 years and have been the County Surveyor for 3 1/2
years. I believe that there are several
extremely important and vital services that government provides but outside of
these services I believe in the least amount of government involvement possible. I
am always trying to find ways of doing more with less because I know how hard
the citizens of Utah County work to earn each dollar that funds the Surveyor's
office.
