PROPOSED SERVICES The district will be authorized to provide recreation services within the boundaries of the district, together with acquisition of all properties, facilities, equipment and appurtenances therefore. METHODS OF FINANCING AND GENERAL POWERS Pursuant to the provisions of the Special Service District Act, Title 17D, Chapter 1, Utah Code Annotated (1953), as amended, and Article XI, Section 7 of the Constitution of Utah, the district may annually impose fees and charges to pay for some or all of the services to be provided by the district. It may also annually levy taxes upon all taxable property within the district to provide the proposed services, and exercise any and all other powers set forth in Utah Code Annotated Section 17D-1-103. PROTESTING AGAINST THE CREATION OF THE SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT OR AGAINST A SERVICE THE SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT IS PROPOSED TO PROVIDE An interested person may protest the creation of the special service district or a service that the special service district is proposed to provide. Each protest shall be in writing, shall be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners of Duchesne County no later than 60 days after the public hearing described herein and shall explain why the person is protesting. A person submitting a written protest may withdraw the protest, or, having withdrawn a protest, cancel the withdrawal, no later than 60 days after the public hearing described herein. The Board may not adopt a resolution or ordinance creating the special service district, or authorizing the district to provide a service, if adequate protests, as defined by Utah Code Annotated Section 17D-1-102(1), are filed with respect to the creation of the district or provision of that service. A parcel of real property may not be included for purposes of calculating adequate protests unless the protest is signed by owners representing a majority ownership in that parcel, or, if the property is owned by joint tenants or tenants by the entirety, by 50% of the number of owners of that parcel. The signature of a person signing a protest in a representative capacity on behalf of an owner is invalid unless the person’s representative capacity and the name of the owner the person represents are indicated on the protest with the person’s signature, and the person provides documentation accompanying the protest that reasonably substantiates the person’s representative capacity. Subject to the aforesaid requirements set forth for persons signing in a representative capacity, a duly appointed personal representative may sign a protest on behalf of a deceased owner. Subject to the provisions of Title 17D, Chapter 1, Part 2, Utah Code Annotated (1953), as amended, prohibiting or restricting the same, the Board may adopt a resolution or ordinance establishing the Upper Community Recreation District as proposed. The Board may, in its discretion, change the boundaries of the district and/or change the services to be provided by the district. A person may file an action in district court challenging the creation of the district or a service the district is proposed to provide, if the person filed a written protest, in conformity with the requirements set forth above, and either is a registered voter within the district and alleges in the action that the procedures used to create the district violated applicable law, or is an owner of property included within the boundary of the district and alleges in the action that the person’s property will not be benefitted by the service that the district is proposed to provide or the procedures used to create the district violated applicable law. Any court action must be filed within 30 days after the date of the adoption of a resolution or ordinance creating the district. If a court action is not filed within said 30 days, a registered voter or property owner within the district may not contest the creation of the district or a service that it is proposed to provide. PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT The Board of County Commissioners of Duchesne County will hold a public hearing on the establishment of the district and the providing of recreational services within the district at the Altamont High School auditorium, Altamont, Utah, at 7:00 p.m., on Wednesday, December 4, 2013.

The Board may continue the hearing to another date and time.
