Bullet points we recommend.
#1 The Mountain Accord process never had geographical jurisdiction to vote to include Utah County lands. The Salt Lake County line is the boundary. What grants them authority to include these lands in a Mountain Accord vote?
#2. All Utah County mayors and County Commissioners must be represented on the Mountain Accord Steering Committee and Executive Committee if Utah County lands are part of the voting July 13th-15th.
#3. Mountain Accord should vote on all the other elements in their process and withdrawn the Utah County lands until there has been Utah County representation in the Mountain Accord process.
#4. Utah County Commissioners should host an open meeting for all citizens in Utah County, mayors and other interested parties, and invite all of the Mountain Accord executive board, steering committees to Utah County for a public open meeting before any voting takes place that involve Utah County Lands. MAG should be part of this process. AFCVision should be part of this process.
#5. Snowbird should not be the one to drive the vote. Democracy and openness and integrity in the Mountain Accord process should set the timeline for voting, not a special interest group. The vote should be postponed until Utah County civic leaders have been educated and involved.
#6 Utah County elected officials are not aware that a land swap could double the size of Snowbird, could potential cost millions of dollars for infrastructure and support, and that the County Planners should ascertain how and what effect contiguous land would mean for Snowbird. Mountain Accord participants should be educated by Utah County Civic leaders how this land swap could potentially turn Mineral Basin into a ski-in, ski-out community.
#7. What would happen if Snowbird were to annex into SL County?
#8 Watershed concerns / water share concerns and how that affects our gateway communities who rely upon AF Canyon watershed for drinking water.
#9. Measures should be put in place to prevent contiguous lands from Snowbird Hidden Peak to Mineral Basin road to prevent Utah County tax payers from possibly being encumbered by development costs/ taxes.
