DAN ANDERSON ~~~ MAYOR OF THE MONTH



Dan Anderson
former mayor 













Dan Anderson served as interim Mayor after Mayor Dave Blackham in 2017, and  Sandra Bigler resigned as Mayor in 2018. We have tried to get more details to no avail. 





Anderson served as the Mt. Pleasant City Power Superintendent for 28 years,
 where he had the responsibility to budget the department’s money,
 create and complete projects, and maintain and improve the power system. Several of the projects were to construct the
distribution line around town,
 have two more power plants built, and extend power into two resorts. The projects generated or saved money for the city.

In addition, he helped organize the Public Power Superintendents Association which developed a training school for Utah linemen. Currently, he serves as a volunteer on the Mt. Pleasant Senior Citizen board and his church.

“My goal is to continue to maintain and upgrade the city power system, support family recreation programs, keep our parks clean and in good repair, sustain and support the rodeo and ball programs for our youth, maintain and improve roads and irrigation, encourage better ways to conserve our water supply and usage. I would also encourage events and business growth, which will help folks find employment in our city. I feel my experience helps me understand some of the problems the city faces and it also helps me in supporting the employees of the city,” Anderson said.

Anderson was raised in Ephraim   He is married to Carolyn Anderson. The couple have six children, 21 grandchildren and one great-grandson. The Andersons have loved raising their children in this beautiful community.
