Ziegler identified himself as a long-time resident and said the 9,10 ranch acquisition presents \"a unique opportunity to preserve an almost 9,000-acre tract of wilderness\" that is home to diverse wildlife. He urged the council to \"formally notify the state legislature ... that Summit County is strongly opposed to hunting on the 910 Ranch,\" and asked the council to honor what he described as the landowner's wish that the property become a nature and wildlife preserve. He also urged the county to do more public education about the pending transaction and its likely future uses, saying many residents are unaware of the pending acquisition and associated issues.

The comment was received during the meeting's public-comment period; the council did not take action on the matter during the Feb. 25 meeting. The transcript records Mr. Ziegler's remarks and his request that the council act to prevent hunting and to protect the property from development.

Council members thanked Mr. Ziegler for his comments. The issue of permitted uses on the property — including wildlife management and any hunting policy — would be subject to the terms of any conservation easement, county policy and applicable state law. No policy change or formal council action related to the 9/10 Ranch was recorded in the Feb. 25 public transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Summit County County Council - County Council - Feb 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At public comment, a long-term Park City resident asked the council to formally oppose hunting on the 9/10 Ranch and to notify state legislators that the county does not support hunting on the parcel as it moves toward conservation acquisition.","taxTitle","Summit County Council, Summit County Commission and Boards, Summit County, Utah","taxId",75367,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6648349,"County staff briefs Summit County Council on legislative bills affecting elections, land use, housing and natural resources",204,4776000,4980000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2864030-8867757383026d4119d7654f9d1badf4&start=4776&end=4980","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2864030-8867757383026d4119d7654f9d1badf4/thumbnail_4776000.jpg","/articles/6648349/Utah/County-staff-briefs-Summit-County-Council-on-legislative-bills-affecting-elections-land-use-housing-and-natural-resources","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6648349-a82272193f1b6ecd44c3a969911b836d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136633&Signature=YL-S3Sb7gJ1xu6W6GYJ71IfTuX4MJT5VID3AaSHwOhTzhifILvhuFbqxhBoZUZpv8CGi968YRjRBmxhrSClfcwQxtJTfl5XaHmybAmyPzKYRTZ6ZvyCnlhBE04zYivY4-WIvyosuiY5zOubn7XcDoEClPdOL6gcTDztsuspdw2apPi100h2vUGI2h2LhcDVj2hzCYcMo7hYFelXXe~nYbwC81pFVigWrneJ6BOuZg1E2rqHTvT7rhgYJUstZj8mQZnbCe3lWWAs80TzcP~VOZDFy3dVwFBD70v06lxEEMWgrEkt8~7UK3Fwwcfd74jqSE1X3G8eFmr3EyqR~zKPJqg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County staff briefed the Summit County Council on a range of bills in the 2025 Utah legislative session and on a county day at the Capitol held that morning with the Utah Association of Counties.

Jana, the county's legislative liaison, and County Clerk Eve reviewed bills the county is tracking. Staff flagged HB332, a bill that would require Utah to leave ERIC (the Electronic Registration Information Center). Eve explained that Summit County and other jurisdictions use ERIC primarily as a maintenance tool to help identify voters who have moved across state lines; local clerks said ERIC is valuable for keeping voter rolls accurate and that Utah currently uses an exception to avoid data-sharing for outreach purposes.

Staff also noted SB127, which would extend the ranked-choice voting pilot for municipalities; three Summit County cities were reported as considering ranked-choice voting for upcoming municipal elections. Council members and staff further discussed a committee-passed draft bill that would require identification at ballot drop boxes; staff said the sponsor plans substantial revisions and that county offices are awaiting a final version.

Other bills summarized by staff included: HB342 (exempting on-farm composting of animal waste from some DEQ oversight), HB355 (proposals that could affect mining authorizations in the Wasatch, including a Parleys Canyon proposal), HB368 (comprehensive local land-use amendments that would increase state oversight and require faster processing of applications), HB378 (proposals to fund species protection with new taxes on certain renewable-energy infrastructure), HB379 (prioritizing state population estimates over federal census data in some contexts), SB139 (modifying eminent-domain laws for mineral estates), SB181 (consolidating housing funds into a new state housing fund and changes to local parking and housing rules), and SB197 (a bill that would repeal the homeowner tax-credit \"circuit breaker\" and replace it with a tax deferral, a change county staff said could affect older, lower-income homeowners).

County staff said they are reviewing several lengthy or complex proposals — notably HB368 and SB181 — and have assigned department leads to analyze impacts on local permitting, finance and housing policy. Staff also flagged bills related to motor vehicle services and assessor recommendations driven by a recent legislative audit.

Council members thanked staff for organizing the day at the Capitol and for the briefing. No formal council action on the bills was taken at the Feb. 25 meeting; staff said they will continue to monitor the bills and provide more detailed analysis to the council as information becomes available.

The county encouraged constituents to follow legislative updates posted by county staff and the Utah Association of Counties.","County legislative staff and the county clerk summarized bills under consideration at the Utah Legislature, highlighting proposals on ERIC membership, ranked-choice voting pilots, land-use reforms, mining, housing funds and a proposed change to the homeowner tax credit.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6648355,"Summit County Council appoints members to fire, recreation and cemetery boards",135,6175000,6310000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2864030-8867757383026d4119d7654f9d1badf4&start=6175&end=6310","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2864030-8867757383026d4119d7654f9d1badf4/thumbnail_6175000.jpg","/articles/6648355/Utah/Summit-County-Council-appoints-members-to-fire-recreation-and-cemetery-boards","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6648355-e49b9398476110ab2e792b318660c434/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136633&Signature=UlsC4DDhtHUQLR9HTXd~A8QF22LX7lGjmmtQcR7wSEPJuf~DOiXslfOJUVz~qIBAgB6CZPFf9ORYHZHy9sqiPKkO9QArEJpWd2~M07qF6elD0WyMZWlhx-NaQC0Tg3fjPnW5sqp3aSm-klXbMLMBFkniLveuuPkxpXRFCj42qoJhKpfFOWHQvmie54yVyrect0SSjkrAnfBMWQXCUIwk62Zejm1d04VA6oLzPmMi-vi~idOpOzuZQ8MgAUDd~BAzest9Kl7RjMAuN8GRlMzeFXbQtBSW5vnaPUuuzyttle88iNlnj9~7wDGJ2tVOJJSfVyIU1J6y1fd~W6pXfDOV~A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Summit County Council on Feb. 25 approved multiple appointments to local service boards after interviewing candidates earlier in the meeting. The council adopted resolutions to appoint members to the North Summit Fire Service District administrative board, the Snyderville Basin Special Recreation Service District administrative control board and the Snyderville Basin Cemetery District board of trustees.

The appointments give North Summit Fire new administrative-board members, fill two seats on the Snyderville Basin Recreation board and reappoint two trustees to the Snyderville Basin Cemetery District. Council discussion and candidate interviews for the Snyderville Basin Recreation and Cemetery boards took place during the meeting; applicants described experience in nonprofit boards, local uses of field-house facilities and cemetery planning.

Summit County moved and approved the following appointments (voice votes recorded as \"aye\"; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the public transcript): North Summit Fire Service District — appointment of Corey Blomquist (term to expire 12/31/2027); Steve Dallin and Louise Willoughby were also listed in the packet as appointees for terms to expire 12/31/2027. Snyderville Basin Special Recreation Service District — appointments of Melissa Scofield and Andrew Choate, terms to expire 12/31/2028. Snyderville Basin Cemetery District — reappointments of Max Greenhall and William Oshinsky, terms to expire 12/31/2028.

Council members conducted candidate interviews before voting. Applicants for the Snyderville Basin Recreation board described volunteer and professional experience and discussed key issues such as managing trail and field-house use, budgeting and the tradeoffs involved in bonding for new facilities. Applicants to the cemetery board discussed locating and planning a community cemetery and said stakeholder outreach and an operations plan are next steps if the preferred site proceeds.

The formal actions were made by motion and approved by the council during the meeting; the public record shows motions and unanimous voice approvals but does not include individual roll-call vote counts.

The appointments take effect immediately as indicated in the council packet; staff will notify applicants of the council decisions.

Note: the council conducted several in-person and remote interviews immediately before voting and recessed briefly before final actions.","Following interviews, the Summit County Council approved appointments to the North Summit Fire Service District board, Snyderville Basin Recreation administrative board and the Snyderville Basin Cemetery District; council conducted interviews earlier in the meeting.","actionData","errors"]
