The view from my house: Pole installation underway along the right side of the 11th hole fairway at Cove View Golf Course.

Four years ago, on Election Day 2021, Bryan Burrows was elected over his opponent, Angie Stubbs, by a vote of 1,134 to 958. Not exactly a mandate in Richfield. A difference of 176 votes. A pretty slim margin, even for Richfield.

Now the incumbent Mayor Burrows is up against Tyson Hansen, former Finance Director for the City of Richfield. I’m not here to endorse Mr. Hansen. But I was told he knows his way around the city. Knows the movers and shakers of Richfield, and has a much more vast depth of knowledge appropriate for someone who would be heading up the administration of Richfield.

As you’ve noted in your bio, Mayor Burrows, before becoming Mayor of Richfield, you worked for Rocky Mountain Power for 44 years, first as a journeyman lineman and then as a line foreman.

I’m curious — Rocky Mountain Power — weren’t they the ones who got the contract to install the poles for the net along the now-infamous Cove View Golf Course 11th tee box and right side of the fairway? Isn’t that their truck shown in the photograph above parked along the 11th hole fairway getting ready to set the pole?

If you blow up the image above, you’ll just barely be able to make out the Rocky Mountain Power logo on the door of the truck.

Was there a contract drawn up for Rocky Mountain Power’s pole installation? Was there a competitive bid for the project? Did you profit from using Rocky Mountain Power to do the installation for the city of Richfield / Cove View Golf Course? I’d love to see the numbers and the contracts for this project. Especially since it has been completely ineffective in stopping the barrage of balls from hitting my property.
