A Lehi city streets supervisor has been fired amid an investigation of up to $791,000 that was paid to a business owned by the supervisor’s cousin for road salt and other materials that apparently were never delivered.
According to court documents unsealed this week, Lehi city officials told Utah County sheriff’s deputies that they had found unitemized invoices for some suspicious purchases of road salting sand and other materials from a Cedar City business called Vinco Enterprises.
That was odd, one city official told investigators, because the city contracts road work with a large Utah company, Geneva Rock, for those materials.
