Emery members say county declined to enforce cleanup ordinances; local beautification left to town
Summary
Members reported that county leadership declined requests to enforce cleanup ordinances in nearby Greenberg, leaving beautification and any enforcement to the town unless the town acts collectively; Speaker 1 offered to pass concerns to the town council.
During opening items the planning group discussed local beautification and whether the county would assist enforcing cleanup ordinances.
Speaker 1 said Melissa had spoken with County Commissioner Lerner and that at a recent county meeting some residents asked the county to enforce its cleanup ordinances. According to Speaker 1, Commissioner Jensen refused to intervene, using profane language to decline enforcement, and no other county officials committed to enforcement. The group concluded there is unlikely to be county help unless the entire town takes a more forceful position.
Speaker 1 offered to pass the planning group's concerns to the town council and asked members to decide if they wanted that referral. No formal motion was made on the issue during the meeting.
