 Rondy G. Black

Rondy Black has been a lifelong resident of North Sanpete and has called Mount Pleasant home since 1998. He married Heather Tolman in 2008, and together they are raising their four children.

Rondy’s background is blue collar and has developed a strong, honest work ethic. He has worked in all phases of residential construction; road construction; drainage and utilities; and is currently employed at Canyon Fuel Co., Skyline Mine, as an Underground Fireboss.

Rondy is proud to call Mount Pleasant home. However, he believes our city has room for improvement. Infrastructure is a top priority that needs to be updated to meet the current demand and prepare for future growth. Our roads have become a hazard and require urgent action. Our irrigation system is outdated and needs to be upgraded, including more water storage and careful management.

Rondy also has a strong desire for growth to be planned carefully, including enforcement of existing City ordinances before creating new ones. Rondy will promote a strong policy department to continue to keep our city safe.

Rondy feels we could be doing better as a city and would like to bring a new approach to serving Mount Pleasant.
