Resident urges commission to oppose new special service district, citing constitutional concerns
Summary
During public comment, Diana Hardy Burgum argued special service districts enabling bonding are contrary to the Utah Constitution and urged the commission to oppose creating another such district.
Diana Hardy Burgum addressed the commission during public comment to voice opposition to adding a special service district. She cited the Utah Constitution and said "Special service districts allow for bonding, but this is contrary to the Utah constitution article 6 section 29," and argued the structure allows expanded government power and unelected board members.
Hardy referenced a previous presentation on a proposed special service district and said she spoke with the county attorney's office to learn more; she said federal involvement was described to her only in general terms and urged commissioners to recall constitutional limits on lending public credit. The chair thanked her for the comment; no formal action followed.
