Director opened appeal 2026037 (Goodell v. Weber County). Petitioner (Mr. Goodell) said Weber County reported no investigatory files for his complaint and that only one interview was completed despite three people named on the complaint; he requested access to investigative files. Weber County (Mr. Erickson) argued records are private under Utah Code 63G-2-3022(a) because no sustained disciplinary action exists and cited prior precedents. Chief Colby Ryan testified an administrative investigative report and audio existed but no disposition/closure letter was found in a retired deputy's files.
