The new county assessor took the oath of office at the beginning of Monday’s commission meeting. Zack E. Buck, a certified residential appraiser, took the oath of office as administered by the Hon. Sharla Williams, Juab County Justice Court Judge. Two weeks ago, Buck was appointed by the Juab County commission to fill the unexpired term of Colby Park. Following the swearing-in ceremony, commissioners welcomed Buck. “We would like to welcome you as the new county assessor,” said Byron Woodland, commission chairman. Buck’s family, his wife, Denise, and their children, attended the oath of office ceremony. “I appreciate being selected as assessor,” said Buck. His appointment was made upon the recommendation of Cody Adams, county Republican party chairman, who reported that Buck had been selected by county delegates at a delegate meeting as their unanimous choice for the position. Buck, a resident of Nephi, studied at Snow College and attended Orem High School. Park was selected by the commission to replace Glenn Greenhalgh, who recently retired and that meant that the assessor’s office needed a midterm appointment. Greenhalgh, the person Park replaced, was the county planning and technical director, a hired employee position. “We can act today,” said Woodland, “because Adams and the party delegates held a meeting to which all county delegates were invited.” Buck and any other potential candidates may register for the election in 2020.
