Under Ricky’s leadership, the Clerk/Auditor’s Office has worked tirelessly to improve the services available to you.

• Implemented a countywide tracking and fulfillment system for Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) requests.
• Has extended an open invitation to the public to tour the Weber County Elections facility so you can learn more about the process and why our Elections office is a model for the nation.
• Created a Fraud Hotline so citizens and county employees can anonymously report misappropriation, theft, or misuse of County assets.
• Has worked to make County financial reports easier to understand and easier to access.
• You can now schedule an appointment for a marriage license or passport online. The appointment system helps you arrive better prepared and you can avoid waiting in line.
• Implemented a customer feedback system for marriage license and passport customers.
• If you need another copy of your property’s valuation notice, you can access it online.
• If you would like to appeal the value the Assessor has placed on your property, you can file an appeal online instead of filling out a paper form.
• If you need a certified copy of your marriage license, you can order one online instead of coming into the office in person.
• Pioneered the Clerk Designee approach to marriage officiators when the state legislature authorized the County Clerk to designate individuals who are willing to solemnize a legal marriage.
• Leads the Utah Clerk/Auditor Association Legislative Committee to work with state legislators to craft common-sense laws that improve services and benefit our citizens (and avoid bad laws!).

As Utah’s State Auditor, Ricky will implement these same improvements

at the state level.
