Appeal dismissed as moot after petitioner absence; records said provided

Director Pearson dismissed Appeal 2026-065 (Bowler v. Salt Lake County) as moot after county representatives told the hearing they had provided the petitioner with responsive records following a subsequent GRAMA request and the petitioner failed to appear.

The director said the case will be dismissed based on the representations from Salt Lake County and the petitioner’s absence. The director’s comments were brief and procedural; he said the hearing record will reflect the dismissal and that the director’s written disposition will follow.

The action was recorded on the docket and the hearing moved on to the next scheduled appeal.
