Why should he be surprised that the owners would select him to be on the Powderville Council, he is qualified by virtue of family connections.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27242057.post-54845442692339322862008-09-04T09:44:00.000-06:002008-09-04T09:44:00.000-06:00Weber County Resolution and Ethics Pledge<A HREF="http://www.co.weber.ut.us/commission/ethics_pledge.pdf" REL="nofollow">Weber County Resolution and Ethics Pledge</A>RudiZinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16419208662453737806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27242057.post-80732512081864858442008-09-04T08:23:00.000-06:002008-09-04T08:23:00.000-06:00I suggest reading the transcripts of the OVPC meet...I suggest reading the transcripts of the OVPC meetings would be helpful for anyone who has doubts.<BR/><BR/>Remember, we all took the journey from "my family sold all the land up in Powder Mountain, to the admission " We still do own 200+ acres (later on the PM tour), to " I don't really know how much land my family still owns up there," when Lythgoe finally came clean halfway through the process. <BR/><BR/>Would it be unreasonable for someone in the County government to say to Lythgoe, " Until you sort all this out regarding your family holdings, you must recuse yourself from any Powder Mountain discussions? Did that happen? No! Wonder why?<BR/><BR/>Other suggested reading would be the Conflict of Interest rules for Weber County.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27242057.post-62729570242256007052008-09-03T23:50:00.000-06:002008-09-03T23:50:00.000-06:00For someone with so many "Facts" it is funny how m...For someone with so many "Facts" it is funny how many of them are wrong and biased.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27242057.post-61670003626758474502008-09-03T08:21:00.000-06:002008-09-03T08:21:00.000-06:00It is possible that if a lawsuit is filed involvin...It is possible that if a lawsuit is filed involving Powder Mountain that all the parties will be called to testify under oath including our lame Weber County Commissioners and OVPC Commission members. They should also put De Caria on the stand as well, since he has been fully aware of the possible conflict, yet done nothing to investigate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27242057.post-77713494868698197512008-09-03T08:07:00.000-06:002008-09-03T08:07:00.000-06:00Excellent point above!

The Weber County Commissioners and County Attorney should investigate the matter, but won't touch the story. It shows why we should vote against all incumbent county office holders in the coming election. De Caria needs to go as do all three Weber County Commission members, one by one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27242057.post-80389080254078338932008-09-03T00:19:00.000-06:002008-09-03T00:19:00.000-06:00I have mentioned on several occasions that Jamie L...I have mentioned on several occasions that Jamie Lythgoe and the Cobabe family, estate, et al should release for public review the sales agreement between themselves and the Powder Mountain developers. Failure to do so raises suspisions of further conflicts germane to financial incentives paid to them by the developers if zoning/density is changed. I believe this to be the case unless proven otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27242057.post-52847025025958606352008-09-02T15:19:00.000-06:002008-09-02T15:19:00.000-06:00Rule A in the county rules on Conflict of Interest...Rule A in the county rules on Conflict of Interest is pretty clear. Even though Jamie Lythgoe recused herself on the final vote on Powder Mountain, she knew the verdict was already in on the Powder Mountain rezone and she had failed remove the conditions recommended by the OVPC. <BR/><BR/>Rule A says a member of the Commission "shall not be a participant" if there is any benefit. She participated in all those OVPC planning meetings prior to the final recusal. I wonder who she thought she was fooling?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
