Support for legislation entitled "Municipal Disincorporation Amendments" sponsored by Senator Allen Christensen and Representative Gage Froerer

UPDATE 2-1-10 The two bills are SB 34 and HB 218, respectively.

To:  The Members of the Utah Legislature

As residents and property owners of Weber County and Northern Utah, we ask your support for legislation entitled "Municipal Disincorporation Amendments" sponsored by Senator Allen Christensen and Representative Gage Froerer.

This bill applies only to town incorporation petitions currently pending under the provisions of the 2007 HB466 law (in effect from June 2007 to March 2008), which allowed incorporation of a town and selection of town officers by large, non-resident property owners without any participation of the voters of the town. The proposed change would remove the requirement for a 24-month waiting period prior to a disincorporation election, allowing the voters of the town to decide immediately whether or not a town is in the best interest of the majority of citizens and property owners.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
