Serving Citizens

Service and Transparency are hallmarks of Ricky’s leadership. Ricky is a responsive elected official who welcomes insights, requests, and recommendations from fellow citizens throughout Weber County. Feel free to contact him on his cell phone at (801)-810-7259 or by email at ricky@rickyhatch.com.

Under Ricky’s leadership, the Clerk/Auditor’s Office has worked tirelessly to improve the services available to you.


  • Implemented a countywide tracking and fulfillment system for Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) requests.
  • Has extended an open invitation to the public to tour the Weber County Elections facility so you can learn more about the process and why our Elections office is a model for the nation.
  • Created a Fraud Hotline so citizens and county employees can anonymously report misappropriation, theft, or misuse of County assets.
  • Has worked to make County financial reports easier to understand and easier to access.
  • You can now schedule an appointment for a marriage license or passport online. The appointment system helps you arrive better prepared and you can avoid waiting in line.
  • Implemented a customer feedback system for marriage license and passport customers.
  • If you need another copy of your property’s valuation notice, you can access it online.
  • If you would like to appeal the value the Assessor has placed on your property, you can file an appeal online instead of filling out a paper form.
  • If you need a certified copy of your marriage license, you can order one online instead of coming into the office in person.
  • Pioneered the Clerk Designee approach to marriage officiators when the state legislature authorized the County Clerk to designate individuals who are willing to solemnize a legal marriage.
  • Leads the Utah Clerk/Auditor Association Legislative Committee to work with state legislators to craft common-sense laws that improve services and benefit our citizens (and avoid bad laws!).


As Utah’s State Auditor, Ricky will implement these same improvements

at the state level.

We measure our success in actual lives changed. These stories are a testament to the difference that communities can make when we come together to create lasting change.

Featured Story

Oliver

At the age of four, Oliver lost both of his parents in a car accident. Oliver was in the car at the time of the accident and, although he walked away without any physical injuries, he was emotionally devastated. With help from DoGood, Oliver became very active in sports and, although this can’t take away the pain of losing his parents, it has helped him to rediscover joy. 

Featured Story

Daniella

As the sixth of nine children, Daniella’s parents did not have a lot of time and they missed the warning signals that something was not quite right at school. Luckily, a social worker from DoGood noticed that Daniella’s grades were dropping and realised she was having trouble reading and writing. Now Daniella has the extra help she needs to excel at school - and life.

SOPHIA

Raising a non-communicative child with autism can be incredibly difficult without help. DoGood set Sophia up with a non-profit organisation in her area that offers regular assistance to families of children with autism and provides special programmes on afternoons and weekends so kids can have fun and parents can have a break.
