Who manages Utah trust lands?
At statehood in 1894, Utah trust lands were managed by a board of elected officials including the Governor, the Secretary of State, the Attorney General and two resident commissioners appointed by the Governor. In 1931, the form of management was changed to three gubernatorial appointed citizen land commissioners. Over time, the board was expanded to include representatives of various user groups. By 1988, the board had 11 members including one beneficiary representative.
