Represented property owner Anna Sievert and asked the council to honor an opt-out clause in her water contract.

Represented neighbors in opposition to annexing the Turning Point facility due to an ongoing administrative legal dispute over a commercial rehabilitation facility in a residential zone.

He objected to the Sieverts annexation and the Evanson property annexation for two reasons: lack of contiguity with Sandy City and a potential violation of a contract from Sandy's purchase of the North Dry Creek Irrigation system, which allegedly prohibits using water service to justify annexations.
