R Fred Moss is the current Bountiful City Councilman over Bountiful Power. Please see: www.bountifulutah.gov/MayorCouncil/MayorCouncil.html
Fred Moss is also the owner of Dominion Engineering and Dominion Power Services. Please see: www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4188/is_20050914/ai_n15363784 Search for "Moss" in the article.
Dominion Power Services is an operator of a power plant in Idaho (Dry Creek Project). Please see line 539 of the following spreadsheet: utility.rti.org/download/EIA867contacts.xls Also please see line 1721 that shows R. Fred Moss as the president of America West Hydro that operates yet another power plant in Idaho (Smith Falls Hydroelectric Project).
The question that arises is whether R. Fred Moss is still in the power production business selling power on the open market? If so, is he selling power to Bountiful City? If he is selling power to Bountiful City, should he have a position of authority at Bountiful Power? Does Bountiful City have an obligation to say who it is buying power from, and is it one of its City Council members? We wonder if Bountiful City keeps records on this or is it like other record keeping at the City, non-existent... or are the records kept by UAMPS in this case?
We believe that all Utah office holders need to declare potential conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from acting in these conflicts of interest. What do you think?
