Provo City School District briefs Tax Commission on Truth and Taxation; commission allows 24-hour submissions on jurisdiction

Representatives from the Provo City School District, including Superintendent Wendy Dau and board president Jennifer Partridge, presented on the district’s Truth and Taxation process during the commission’s September 24 meeting. Several local-government representatives also spoke, including Camille Cook and Kevin Hall of the Central Weber Sewer Improvement District, Matt Wilson (Roy City attorney), Dennis Marker (Gunnison City), Lark Reynolds (Tooele County School District business administrator), and Tammy Jorgensen (North Sanpete School District business administrator). The presentation covered the district’s Truth and Taxation procedures; however, the transcript records the list of presenters and their affiliations but does not include the full substance of each speaker’s remarks.

During or after the presentation Commissioner Rebecca L. Rockwell moved that the commission grant 24 hours for anyone to submit written information on Subject Matter Jurisdiction to taxappeals@utah.gov. The transcript records, "Commissioner Rockwell made a motion that we grant 24 hours for anybody to present written information on Subject Matter Jurisdiction to taxappeals@utah.gov." Commission Chair John L. Valentine took a roll-call vote and the motion passed unanimously. The action opens a short administrative window for parties or interested persons to provide written jurisdictional information to the commission for consideration.
