Residents urge county to challenge monument plan, raise local service concerns during public comment
Summary
During public comment, a group of residents opposed the monument plan and raised local concerns including parking‑lot plowing at Deer Hollow and community health awareness events; several speakers listed opposition to agenda item #3.
Several residents used the public comment period at the Jan. 27 meeting to voice opposition to the Grand Staircase‑Escalante National Monument plan and to raise other local issues. The minutes list multiple speakers who opposed agenda item #3, including Paul Gagner, John Hiscock, Tom Dillon, Penny Gray, Tom Carter, Ann Route, Bill Gray, Keiren Corrigan, Joanne Rando‑Moon, Noel Poe and Jan Roberts.
Tom Dillon said he skis at Deer Hollow on Cedar Mountain and reported they are "having problems getting the parking lot plowed." Brett Pierson told the commission that the monument plan under consideration was "the worst he has ever seen." The meeting also heard a community notice from the Miss Kane County Team Court inviting residents to wear red on Feb. 6, 2026 in support of women's heart health.
Public commenters' remarks were recorded in the minutes but the transcript does not show a formal response from commissioners beyond the later agenda action (the commission ultimately adopted the monument‑related resolution).
