I have questions:

1) Where’s the contract, receipts, itemized line items and checks paid for purchasing of the poles and their installation? 2) How much did the trucks cost that were used to install the poles, and who got the contract — or got paid — for that? 3) What about the labor for the installation of the poles? 4) Was Rocky Mountain Power aware that their equipment was being used for this installation?

This post is addressed to Lineman Burrows — the Bryan Burrows, currently Richfield Mayor, who proudly lists “lineman” in his bio, who once did work that included things like install equipment ranging from utility poles to power lines to crossarms, insulators, switches and switchgear; equipment testing, including conductors, switches, voltage regulators and transformers. You climbed poles and transmission towers and dug holes and set poles using construction equipment. 

So I’m thinking, I’d love to see the financials for the work done on the pole-setting — not the netting, just interested in the pole-setting — along the 11th fairway at Cove View Golf Course. I’m talking about receipts and  copies of cashed checks for the work. It would be interesting to see where Richfield’s money went when it came to erecting the poles and netting along the 11th fairway. 

I’d like to see line item, itemized receipts and checks for all money spent to procure and install those poles. Where did the money go? Who profited for that kind of work? I’m just asking questions here that any Richfield citizen paying property taxes might ask in trying to find answers and satisfy a curiosity as to how public Richfield money was spent on this project.

You have a special expertise that you bring to your current role as Mayor of Richfield (soon to change come Nov. 4, 2025 I hope). 

Yet, all through your tenure as mayor — from January 2021 to now, as we approach Election Day 2025 — a man who worked as a former lineman, could not put a solution in place. If there ever was a sweet spot between mayor, lineman, golf course, damage from golf balls, poles and netting, this would be it.
