Mike Olsen holds the office of County Attorney, according to the town knowledge base. Beyond this legal role, Olsen has been present during operations discussions for the Mountain Green Fire Protection District.

During a meeting held on May 18, 2026, Olsen attended the session in an operations capacity alongside Chief Brian Brendel and Golden Barrett, according to the MGFPD meeting minutes. During this meeting, the Board of Trustees discussed several district items, including the status of account balances and expense reports. One significant topic of discussion involved the development of a new website for the MGFPD. According to the May 18, 2026, minutes, Olsen has been developing this new website for the district. The district noted that the site is near completion, and the final step for the project involves integrating a payment link so the public can pay for service fees and impact fees. This system is intended to utilize a third-party financial company to transfer funds to the district's bank account, with fee payments logged separately for accounting purposes.

Olsen's presence was also noted during a meeting on March 2, 2026, where he attended alongside Chief Brian Brendel and Golden Barrett, according to the meeting minutes from that date. During that meeting, participants were given a tour of the new Squad 132 vehicle. The board also discussed the progress of a tax increase process and the status of the fire station's electrical supply due to ongoing construction.

In another meeting on July 13, 2026, Olsen was in attendance from Operations along with Chief Brian Brendel, according to the July 2026 trustee meeting notes. During this meeting, the board discussed mid-year financial statements being prepared by Ulrich accounting and noted that the results of an AUP (Agreed Upon Procedures) audit would be sent to the trustees. The board also confirmed that Trustees Barnes and Johnson had processed the first bond payment for the new fire engine at the Bank of Utah on July 1, 2026, in accordance with a bond lease agreement.

As the district moves forward, the board has scheduled its next meeting for September 14, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. Residents can encounter the work of the district through the new website being developed by Olsen, which aims to streamline the process for paying various district fees through a digital interface.

What this means for Mountain Green

For Mountain Green residents, Olsen's work on the new fire protection district website will eventually provide a more streamlined way to handle district business. By integrating digital payment links for impact and service fees, the district aims to make the process of paying for these specific services more efficient through a third-party financial system.
