Weber County surveyor outlines ordinance to align county code with state renumbering, clarify plat fees
Summary
County surveyor Steve Collier presented an ordinance to update county code references after the state renumbered Title 17, clarify that final local entity plat review fees are charged per plat page, and harmonize signature-block language for subdivision plats. No vote on the ordinance is recorded in the transcript.
Steve Collier, a member of the Weber County surveyor's office, told commissioners on Jan. 13 that he "presented an ordinance to adjust the county code" to reflect changes the state made in November that renumbered Title 17. Collier said the ordinance also clarifies a local fee structure: "that fee is per plat page," a change prompted by recent multi-page plats stemming from developments by IFD, he said. Collier added staff also revised signature-block language so the language in the ordinance's section 45 and section 106 match for subdivision plats.
Why it matters: The edits are technical but affect how the county references state law and how the county charges for review of plats used to change city or district boundaries. Charging the plat-review fee per page could increase fees for multi-page submissions, depending on a plat's length.
Details and context: Collier described three parts of the proposed changes: updating statutory references to the renumbered Title 17; clarifying that the local entity plat review fee applies per plat page (consistent with how other documents, such as filed surveys, are charged); and replacing older signature-block text in section 106 so it matches the current language in section 45. He said the change responds to practice shifts since the county previously received mainly single-page plats.
What happened next: The transcript records Collier presenting the ordinance and answering general comments; it does not record a formal motion, vote tally, or adoption of the ordinance. Commissioners encouraged residents to visit the Weber County surveyor's office to discuss surveying questions and to learn more about the changes.
Officials and sources: Collier said residents should "come to the Weber County surveyor's office, ask for Steve," noting staff can explain surveying issues such as fence-line locations. The transcript does not identify which commissioner led or sponsored the ordinance or whether the commission took a final vote that day.
Next steps: The transcript does not specify whether the ordinance was scheduled for a subsequent hearing or a vote; those procedural details were not recorded in the recap.
