A resident used the citizen‑input portion of the Sept. 10 meeting to press the town for public records related to the legal status of the Albion Basin Road right‑of‑way.

The commenter said he had found a 1990 letter from then‑District Ranger Michael Steed (Salt Lake District, U.S. Forest Service) advising that Salt Lake County granted the Forest Service a right‑of‑way for the Albion Basin Road in 1941 and that the Forest Service did not have authority to issue driveway permits in the county right‑of‑way. The speaker said the letter directed inquiries to county road officials and suggested elected officials and town staff were relying on incomplete records in prior analyses.

He asked the town to provide the public documents or records the town uses to assess right‑of‑way status, saying he believed substantial public and private resources had been spent without producing a final town record. He supplied a copy of the letter to a staff member at the meeting for the public record.

Town staff accepted the submitted paper for the meeting record. Council and staff asked the commenter to share the document for the record — staff confirmed receipt — and staff will check the town files and clarify what documents underlie town analyses of road and right‑of‑way status.

Ending: Staff acknowledged the request and that the letter would be appended to the public comment file. The council did not act; staff will follow up to identify the records the town relies upon and to confirm whether additional historical right‑of‑way instruments (county or federal) affect the town’s permitting authority.
