During public comment, Kent Singleton, who identified himself as a private landowner, told the council he is experiencing unauthorized public access to his property and difficulty posting no-trespass signage. Singleton referenced the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. City of New London and said Utah statutes protect landowners from improper takings; he argued that local and state officials are instead using regulatory references to FEMA and floodplain permitting to limit his ability to install simple signage.

Singleton said the county had told him a FEMA floodplain permit and a $10,000 certification were required before posting a temporary T-post for a no-trespassing sign. He asked the council to require that "public access signage programs" be based on published, legally verified navigability lists and for agencies to consult and compensate landowners before designating access.

Council members and staff clarified the advisory council is a purely advisory body to the division and does not itself set policy; they said staff would accept written comments and consider whether to schedule the topic for a future agenda item. No action was taken at the meeting; members noted that complaints like this might require interagency review with county land-use, floodplain permitting and state agencies.
