Dear Emigration Canyon Deputy Mayor Jennifer Hawkes and EID Financial & General Manager Eric Hawkes of the Simplifi Company,<\/span><\/h4>\n

As operator of water system no. 18143, you have been contracted by Emigration Improvement District (\u201cEID\u201d aka Emigration Canyon Improvement District aka ECID) to maintain and control access to governmental records. (See<\/em> \u201cBrief of Appellant\u201d at the website administered by the Emigration Canyon Home Owners Association available at https:\/\/echo-association.com\/?page_id=7677<\/a><\/span>).<\/span><\/h4>\n

During the 2021 EID budget hearing, you refused to clarify why projected revenue from water-right lease contracts had doubled for the current calendar year, despite the fact that the permanent changes to EID water right \u201c57-7796\u201d are currently pending before the Utah Third District Court and the Utah Court of Appeals, and you have consistently refused to acknowledge that all water sources currently in operation by the Simplifi Company are now expressly contingent upon court approval (see<\/em> https:\/\/echo-association.com\/?page_id=6054<\/a><\/span>).<\/span><\/h4>\n

Moreover, it appears that you have both demanded and collected payments from 98 property owners unaware of both pending water litigation and documented groundwater mining of Emigration Canyon\u2019s Freeze Creek Aquifer (see<\/em> https:\/\/echo-association.com\/?page_id=635<\/a> <\/span>and https:\/\/echo-association.com\/?page_id=3310<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/h4>\n

As such, we submit the attached GRAMA request regarding water-right lease payments and water letters issued for new construction in Emigration Canyon.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Please note that failure to provide timely access to the requested governmental documents will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law to include injunctive relief and\/or recovery of attorney fees and costs under Utah Code Ann. \u00a7 63G-2-802.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Kind Regards,<\/span><\/h4>\n
