GRAMA REQUEST APPEAL
Dear Mr. Everitt,
| received John David Nielson’s response to my GRAMA request dated May 31, 2019. This is my formal
response in requesting an appeal to his findings. | have attached my original GRAMA request, however |
will go through what | am requesting from you. | really hope that based on what Commissioner
Maryboy, and Mr. Boos said in the news articles about myself that there are more documents that will
back their claims, | am entitled to those documents and | will be appealing this GRAMA request to the
State Archives if | need too. In no way are these documents attorney client privilege, they are public
documents. Here is what | have requested and received nothing from John David Nielson that answers
my request:
1)Based on quotes from the Salt Lake Tribune article dated May 1%, 2019 (I've attached it),
Commissioner Maryboy is quoted that he has been “emailing me , and | didn't do what | was being told”
‘a, I would like all emails from Kenneth.maryboy.13@gmail.com or
kmaryboy@sanjuancounty.org to kpehrson@sanjuancounty.org that would have told
me what to do?
2) Based on the same news article Steven Boos is quoted that he “echoed Maryboy's assessment
that Pehrson had engaged in insubordination.
a. I would like all text messages, emails, letters, etc. that Kenneth Maryboy sent to Mr.
800s talking about me being insubordination? He has two cell phones: (435-558-5115)
and the county phone 435-459-9281. | am subject to any talk about my insubordination
from these two phones, or the two email accounts stated above.
b. Mr. Boos is also quoted as saying that “Mr. Maryboy sent me a number of memos asking
Mr. Pehrson to provide updates (on the assignments, these reports were not provided.”
| would lke all Memos that he is stating that Commissioner Maryboy sent me, | am
‘guessing to kpehrson@sanjuancounty.org from his two emails stated above,
3) Ina press release from Commissioner Maryboy and James Adakai (see attachment), Mr. Adakai
states, “Mr. Pehrson had not been willing to take direction from the new County Commission
and execute its priorities, and his abrupt resignation laws weeks was not earth-shaking news.”a. I would like all emails, text messages, letters, etc. from Commissioner Maryboy to Mr.
‘Adakai, from the emails stated above and the cell phones stated above to Mr. Adakai
talking about my behavior and has my name in it.
4) In the same Press Release, Commissioner Maryboy is quoted, " | had to repeatedly ask Pehrson
to update the Commission regarding progress he'd made towards complying with approved
County resolutions, including providing a County organizational chart, a policies and procedures
‘manual, and updates on ongoing County projects, to no avail,”
a, I would like all emails, text messages, letters, etc. from Kenneth Maryboy to myself,
asking me about these items stated in #4. | would assume they came from the emails,
stated above or the cell phones stated above.
5) Commissioner Maryboy goes on to say, “if Pehrson had not resigned we would have taken
disciplinary action.
a. I would like all reports given to Walter Bird (San Juan County HR Director) on any
complaints, disciplinary actions, emails, letters, texts, etc. from Kenneth Maryboy
stating that | was being disciplined or was insubordinate,
b. I would like all phone calls, emails, texts letters, etc. between Kenneth Maryboy and
Commissioner Grayeyes, stating | needed to be disciplined, or | was insubordinate, etc
Commissioner Grayeyes phone number is 928-614-1281. His county email addresses are
«williegrayeyes@yahoo.com or williegraveyes@sanjuancounty.org
6). I would like a signed copy of the resolution that was passed illegally at the commission meeting
on May 7 that had to do with the emergency hire of my replacement and which has my name
init stating | did not do things for the commissioners.
| did receive #6, however it brings us more items that | would like to request that are in this Resolution:
A) Resolution 2019-03 It says | was supposed to compile documents concerning the conveyance of
the Bluff Transfer Station.
a. I would like a Copy of the Resolution with the date that it was approved. ( | would read
the resolution on the date the commissioners wanted that and compare it to the date
that it was actually passed) (Also this conveyance was approved by previous
commissioners and the only document would have been the deed of trust, there were
no financial documents to provide the commissioners, so very unclear what Mr. 800s
was even asking for there)
'b. I would also like San Juan County's legal review of this resolution which was prepared by
Mr. Laws, and given to San Juan County Commissioners.
B) Resolution 2019-05 “send a copy of the resolution 2019-05 to the Secretary of the Interior and
interested government agencies.
a, would like a copy of this passed resolution.
b. want a copy of San Juan County's legal review on this resolution which was prepared
by Mr. Laws and given to San Juan County Commissioners. (Very confident that this
resolution was being reviewed by Mr. Laws and there was nothing I could have done as
the Administrator).Q
