The City Council and Staff decided to publish a denial of any wrong-doing on the front page of the February Newsletter claiming, “the accusations asserted against them is not true.” In that they excluded the accusations, we thought it only fair that Cedar Hills citizens have access to the accusations they did not address and claimed “not true”. Cedar Hills families may want to read the Fourth District Court filing which lists City Manager Konrad Hildebrandt and Mayor Eric Richardson’s own words, actions, and documents. (see PDF below) The letter to Judge Samuel McVey reads as follows:
To: Judge Samuel McVey
Presiding Judge of the Fourth District Court
125 North 100 West
Provo, UT 84601
Date: January 23, 2012
Subject: Possible Unlawful handling of the City of Cedar Hills public business.
Dear Judge McVey,
We feel compelled to exercise our rights under Utah State Code, Title 77-6-1 through 77-6-4, to file this complaint with the Court, in the interest of open, honest and ethical government in behalf of all Cedar Hills residents. We petition the Court to hold those who have abused government power accountable for their actions.
At a time of great economic hardship, with many families struggling to keep their homes and jobs, and many city governments throughout Utah cutting back expenditures, Cedar Hills government seems to have lost touch with financial realities and is instead growing its burden on its citizens with indefensible waste, higher fees, and overly generous compensation for some city employees. We need protection from our local government.
As citizens and taxpayers of the City of Cedar Hills, we are very concerned that evidence is growing that our City Manager and Mayor may have operated outside City and State law on numerous occasions and we request an investigation into possible “high crimes and misdemeanors”.
10-3-826. Official neglect and misconduct class A misdemeanor — Removal from office.
In case any municipal officer shall at any time wilfully omit to perform any duty, or wilfully and corruptly be guilty of oppression, malconduct, misfeasance, or malfeasance in office, the person is guilty of a class A misdemeanor, shall be removed from office, and is not eligible for any municipal office thereafter.
If one or more of the following List of Complaints is proven to be true, we would like the following officials and/or staff to be removed from office and/or city employment under Utah Code 10-3-826:
Konrad Hildebrandt (City Manager)
Eric Richardson (Mayor)
Some possible infractions to investigate include:
