BACKGROUND<br />

Cedar Hills is a beautiful, high income of approximately 10,000 people. It is situated about 30<br />

miles south of Salt Lake City and in the northern part of Utah County (approximate population is<br />

520,000). In the past few years, I have recruited major retailers into the city including a Wal-<br />

sewer, engineering, GIS) community services, golf, building services (plan review and<br />

inspections), business licensing and recorder. Cedar Hills has an approximate $3.5 million<br />

general fund and $15-20 million proprietary and capital improvement funds. As City Manager, I<br />

directly supervised six department heads, administrative staff and the City Recorder (Clerk).<br />

alterations of service delivery. We even found a way to reduce property taxes in three<br />

of four of the most difficult years and the other year, t<strong>here</strong> was no change in property<br />
