North Fields Rezone Petition Certified

The Citizens' Referendum petition to place the issue on the ballot has been certified by the Wasatch County Clerk.

"We have finished verifying  signatures from the,  Wasatch County North Fields/Ordinance 14-08 petition.    We counted a total of 2,220 signatures and of that 2,014 are valid registered voters in Wasatch County.

Signatures Needed         1,847                 Signatures Valid           2,014"

Petition signature collectors report they were very impressed by the positive response they received when explaining the issue to voters,   2014 signatures accounts for about 17% of all registered voters in the County.

One supporter said:   "I am so proud to call Heber home to and see what can be done by a persistent group of like-minded people."   

Another responded:  "Fantastic!!!  And 2014 is a perfect number!  A year of change, for the better!"

One more: "It just shows there are more and more people willing to stand up and fight for our leaders to follow the law!"

In addition, TWO lawsuits were filed over the issue - one resulting in a stay of any rezone action and the second questioning whether the  zone could be created AFTER assigned.

Hopefully the County Council will simply rescind the resolution and avoid further attorney and court expenses.

In the meantime, there are two open seats on the Planning Commission looking for volunteers
