Yes, I would be willing to help. One thing in our favor is that existing ordinances, while often ignored, are still good leverage - I'm thinking legal action. However, as already pointed out, Tooele County residents (Patrick,? Bruce? others?) really need to be involved. Our presence as owners of some substantial property, i.e. buildings and improvements, helps. BTW, have we ever had the buildings and scopes appraised? When the new scope and refractor building are complete, would $300K be a reasonable estimate?

Should an organizational meeting be held? Who has the most information on what is going on. How can we best get information? Siegfried
