Conflict of Interest with Bountiful City Councilman R. Fred Moss?


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?

I recall that Moss is not ashamed of his experience with power production. In fact, I think he touted this when he was running for office saying that he would be able to audit Bountiful Power, given his experience.

So, do we want him to jump right into nitpicking the practices of Bountiful power, or do we want him to recuse himself from those discussions.

As long as he can't profit, personally, from B.P. then he should be involved.

Fred Moss is a good man. His plant sells power to Idaho Power. Bountiful does not get any of its power from Idaho Power. Thus no conflict of interest.

If you have a question about how Fred operates his plant or sells his power, then call him. I'm sure he would happy to set the record straight.

Bountiful is fortunate to have Fred on the Power Commission. It would be difficult and expensive for Bountiful to hire someone as a power consultant with half as much experience as Fred.

Go ahead and knock Fred for things he says and does on the council that you don't agree with, but criticizing him for his leadership on the power commission is short sited and misguided.
