Citizens in the Wasatch County municipality are voting whether or not to approve the Town Council’s decision last fall to incorporate 350 acres located in Summit County near Richardson Flat.
Town Clerk Alicia Fairbourne said there are about 360 registered voters in Hideout. As of mid-Monday, they have received 189 ballots.
A ruling expected Monday morning in Fourth District Court on Hideout Town’s annexation into Summit County has been delayed for a day.
Judge Jennifer Brown called in sick, according to her court clerk, who said they got the word late Sunday night.

The Summit County Council has passed two resolutions to amend the 2021 budget.
At their June 16th meeting, the Council restored some staff benefits, following a pandemic year that saw budget cutbacks. They also created some new staff positions.
But that didn’t come without some questioning, and some debate, from Council Members.
Summit County Council Member Chris Robinson says the Council will continue to work on a new ordinance governing accessory buildings—with less than three months left before a moratorium on those buildings expires.
Meanwhile, the Council heard from one of Robinson’s neighbors who is concerned about the issue.
Robinson told KPCW that residents should stay tuned, and they are planning another meeting to receive public comment.
