*This fund was created by the Town of Fairview at the request of Town residents and others because of potential litigation between our small community and the giant wealthy Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS).  Put simply, the LDS church is attempting to force the Town to accept a Temple and steeple that would dominate the Town due to its size and is totally out of proportion to the surrounding residential area. If this issue goes to court, we would be David fighting Goliath.  

All donations are VOLUNTARY and go toward legal costs and related expenses incurred by the Town and its attorneys in defending the Town’s zoning ordinances, including costs for preparation and defense against any litigation initiated by or involving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), its individual members and/or other interested parties in relation to the disputed zoning matter.

Donations to this fund are NOT REFUNDABLE. 

The Town is not able to provide legal or tax advice, but the Town does not believe that any donations made to this fund would be tax deductible or otherwise result in favorable tax treatment. Please consult with a licensed attorney or qualified tax professional if you have any questions. 

After this matter has been concluded, including any litigation and related appeals, and after all legal costs and related expenses, including but not limited to legal fees, judgment, awards and other associated costs, have been paid in full, any money remaining in the Town of Fairview Zoning Defense Fund will be donated to the Friends of Fairview First Responders Association.
