Commissioners hear RTV request

(RICHFIELD) – The Right-To-Vote Committee addressed Sevier County Commissioners in today’s Commission meeting to reject the State Ombudsman’s opinion concerning the building of a proposed coal-fired power plant near Sigurd. RTV Chairperson, Elaine Bonavita, said the reason for the request, is due to Commissioner’s authority to reject any non-binding opinion concerning the power plant, pending court action and the initiative referendum that was passed in last November’s election. Commissioners stated that no action will be taken on deciding to approve or deny Sevier Power’s application on building the plant until all legal information is collected and a public hearing is held.
Commissioners address well drilling

(RICHFIELD) – Sevier County Commissioners held a public hearing today concerning amending the county subdivision ordinance requiring each dwelling to have a well or be connected to a public water delivery system. Comments included the costs of drilling wells on property in county subdivisions and wells that would be used by more than one household. Zoning Administrator, Larry Hansen and Planning Chairman, John Worley, both addressed the Commission, saying too many problems are created when more than one dwelling shares one water well. One builder said that a well he’s drilling, is costing him more than $30,000. After hearing public comments, the Commissioners tabled the issue to a later date to gain more information before making a final decision.

(KANAB) – A former Bureau of Land Management field manager has entered a not guilty plea to sexual abuse charges. According to booking documents in Kanab’s 6th District Court, Rex Smart entered the plea Thursday with trial set for Sept. 28. Smart was charged in December 2007 with seven counts of sexual abuse of a child, two counts of sodomy on a child and one count of rape of a child, all first-degree felonies. Each charge carries a possible maximum penalty of life in prison. Kane County prosecutors contend Smart abused a nine-year old girl between May 15 and June 15, 2005 and again in September of 2006. An investigation began after an anonymous tip to the Division of Child and Family Services. After being arrested, Smart, a 25-year veteran of the BLM, was freed on a $125,000 bond.
