Approval of minutes: Commissioners approved the Feb. 18 meeting minutes with a set of clerical changes noted by commissioners during the meeting.

IGP waivers and business license: The commission approved two IGP waivers (coach-pitch waivers at $40 each) and granted a business license to Spotless Sweep LLC, owner Mackenzie M. Laubel, for commercial and residential cleaning services.

American Legion Auxiliary Girls State funding: Commissioners approved an appropriation of $250 per girl to support applicants selected to attend the American Legion Auxiliary Girls State program at Weber State University (the commission had funded the same amount in prior years). The applicants requested half of the program cost per girl be covered by the commission; the commission approved the requested $250 per girl.

Surplus property and vehicle transfers: The commission approved transfers of several county vehicles: moving two sheriff's vehicles to the road department, transferring two road-department trucks to the landfill and authorizing surplus and sale of two landfill trucks. The board directed staff to obtain market appraisals for a lowboy trailer being considered for sale and to reconcile differing valuation estimates.

Other procedural items: The Board of Equalization reviewed continuing nonprofit property-tax exemption forms and will return with any items requiring action at a future meeting; commissioners also authorized a closed-session meeting later in the agenda to discuss pending or reasonably imminent litigation per Utah Code.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Millard County Commission Meeting Live Stream 3-04-2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its meeting the Millard County Commission approved Feb. 18 minutes with changes, two IGP waivers, a business license for Spotless Sweep LLC, a $250 per-girl appropriation for American Legion Auxiliary Girls State delegates and several vehicle transfers/surplus actions.","taxTitle","Millard County Commission, Millard County Commission and Boards, Millard County, Utah","taxId",75106,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6300203,"Commission adopts ordinance rezoning 17 acres near Highway 161 to Highway Commercial",448,4228000,4676000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2493531-4506d080b6d1e26f1491921379190e0c&start=4228&end=4676","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2493531-4506d080b6d1e26f1491921379190e0c/thumbnail_4228000.jpg","/articles/6300203/Utah/Commission-adopts-ordinance-rezoning-17-acres-near-Highway-161-to-Highway-Commercial","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6300203-f437594e3e7a75f72e1c451bf011b184/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140625&Signature=UZWSdJQMlcjyOmtlMstk3fxj-YN8LucwTDsr~C3mGl2SkvsjVSHaNOzl8amHztqZT4LdxGRVmspm6bJuFlbmFY2ad4c77SCkmTSkAEscGcQVVY1tUtRek3ib0BO1dAjnbO-~yG0MBXAHDtUvl1EaEkP3I5~hePXVwGsQq1finGytHGbHCCeAGcJpM9Jz8O8ImqGPq0lhnzpeIQEN0ir25fOV-JzYgCrE5Kjtpaw6526Q89xohzTWs5ZLNVwRuIDjpKWqmwlgHC6kX5xHWVojuuGfDuQmmJN1sG05NVgFS4ljBp-lOBM18BuS7Tdlw15QS4jYKQPrifps0gbbbSS0Nw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Millard County Commission adopted ordinance 25-3-4, approving a zone change for 17 acres located near Highway 161 from Range and Forest to Highway Commercial, clearing the way for a proposed diesel repair business.

Why it matters: The rezoning aligns the parcel with adjacent highway-commercial parcels and grants the property owner the ability to locate a commercial diesel repair shop and related activities along the interstate corridor.

The applicant, Jose Ismail Moya Sanchez, and an associate described plans to relocate a diesel repair shop from the Salt Lake area to the site and expand operations. The planning commission gave a favorable recommendation and commissioners noted the parcel abuts existing highway-commercial land and is not adjacent to residential neighborhoods.

The commission's motion to adopt ordinance 25-3-4 passed on a roll-call vote. The meeting record shows Commissioners Johnson, Lyman and Wright voting yes. The item followed a public hearing in which supporters, planning staff and the applicant spoke.

The approval allows the applicant to pursue necessary building permits and any additional approvals required by county planning and building codes.","By roll-call vote, the Millard County Commission approved ordinance 25-3-4 to rezone 17 acres adjacent to Highway 161 from Range and Forest to Highway Commercial for a proposed diesel repair shop; planning commission had recommended approval.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6300208,"Central Utah Counseling Center auditors report clean compliance; county contribution and reserves discussed",205,1115000,1320000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2493531-4506d080b6d1e26f1491921379190e0c&start=1115&end=1320","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2493531-4506d080b6d1e26f1491921379190e0c/thumbnail_1115000.jpg","/articles/6300208/Utah/Central-Utah-Counseling-Center-auditors-report-clean-compliance-county-contribution-and-reserves-discussed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6300208-e2d02a870ceba1df4f80df65b94bf90f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140625&Signature=P5Sq0scMCHQB-G4XLaQHB0eFteIIin9oeirmdDS0nxc14fptNSRv4jo1Ozyo62R4qEL5sDzTBJv5n0BytzMfrHvJo5nWCZxFt3di0VRL7Gt5AG7ActMvmcG5Ywv5iTSRXJizmm2kJVAD6KpdLnjG-PY55pVeZBgndTXsu1Bld8icTVYM9E0gQo3XMzu7AugA~J-LVH6Yz-7UbNtekxUGgUK90S7YB8KB~VJQ-8l9UQGRv36fw1Pb31~eHWZD-lac1AAP6fPQ3rE1Vg8qsAfP35yH8xFQFHefmQwjcTZU3xUto-JWRf3jF52KqIvlNrC6~IABzM1LQxA6tcyZKruvcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representatives of Central Utah Counseling Center presented their annual independent financial audit to the Millard County Commission and answered commissioners' questions about county contributions, reserves and future funding risk.

Why it matters: The counseling center is a county partner that receives county contributions and state Medicaid pass-through funding. Commissioners sought clarity about how one-time revenue changes, capital costs and Medicaid policy shifts could affect local cost-sharing and service continuity.

Nathan Strait, director at Central Utah Counseling Center, and Richard Anderson, the center's chief financial officer, presented highlights of the audit. Anderson summarized the auditors' opinion that the center's financial statements fairly represent its position and said the auditors found \"no instances of noncompliance which are required to be reported in accordance with the state compliance audit guide.\" He also walked commissioners through the center's revenue mix: state contracts, county contributions, and Medicaid dollars used in combination to fund services.

Anderson told commissioners the county's current contribution reported in the audit was $451,000; the center reported total operating revenues of about $11.7 million and net operating revenues derived largely from Medicaid. He said the center recorded a negative $2.2 million change in net position for the year after completing a 12,000-square-foot facility in Richfield and drawing on reserves to finish construction. Anderson said the center has targeted higher reserves than in the past and that leadership is comfortable with a $4 million to $5 million reserve target going forward.

Commissioners asked how the center might be affected by changes at federal and state Medicaid levels. Anderson said the center has submitted requests to Utah Medicaid and that some federal responsiveness has slowed; he described uncertainty about upcoming federal changes but said the organization expected to remain operational while it pursues delayed payments and federal decisions.

No formal county action was required. Commissioners thanked the presenters and asked staff to note the center's reserve targets and the potential effect of future Medicaid policy and funding changes when evaluating county contributions and partnership arrangements.","Representatives from Central Utah Counseling Center presented their annual independent financial audit to the Millard County Commission, reporting no instances of state-required noncompliance and explaining a negative change in net position tied to construction of a new Richfield facility and reserve drawdowns.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6300213,"Commission approves $160,000 rural grant for Predator Armor equipment, citing near-term job gains",1814,2018000,3832000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2493531-4506d080b6d1e26f1491921379190e0c&start=2018&end=3832","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2493531-4506d080b6d1e26f1491921379190e0c/thumbnail_2018000.jpg","/articles/6300213/Utah/Commission-approves-160000-rural-grant-for-Predator-Armor-equipment-citing-near-term-job-gains","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6300213-a80bd258a3382b6aadaadf26ec5dd7c6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140625&Signature=g8SEtn2H4yebzs5WaChfpfQBnw3Ay-4-nnF7PNkK0XITRXZnue1xhQIQXJ-EjYM3qO2rCRVTBImTGyenphvmXJ~wwl28KEq2HzV6fqgxVLaNOFa1REc0FoGi05I866kvAOxNT9zRJRb6ciM71NDzEIOGtAiGe2Bci0Pzi5zjV9LOSsRZ-6EnrrGLMjMcaR0bGZYUtycHUIuxLoKZDmy0DLD16IWPaoDfROdOikLHePs0N62SLrFN6BzWnZa9x8PE5uHgjd7-EcJiCuEJg46VP1Q8uR0~ZBfHhgFdmm9Jx6d~RPUzqzjqfU8PIuaWQTlJTt6JEDB6E8y64hHhNRsidw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Millard County Commission voted to award $160,000 from the county's Rural County Grant Program to Outdoor Ops (doing business as Predator Armor) to buy manufacturing equipment and support expansion at the company's Delta-area facility.

The grant recommendation came from the county's META (rural economic development) board and was presented to commissioners by Adam Richland, the board's representative, and by Colin Christiansen, owner of Outdoor Ops. Richland read the grant program's purpose, saying it is intended to \"empower rural county governments to manage their own economic development opportunities\" and listed eligible uses including business expansion, workforce development, and infrastructure improvements.

Why it matters: Commissioners said the award is intended to convert outsourced work into local manufacturing, create immediate jobs and make the area more attractive for further private investment. Outdoor Ops proposed using the funds primarily for a plasma cutter and a large press; company representatives said bringing those machines in-house would create five to six jobs immediately and allow faster scaling for larger government contracts.

Colin Christiansen, owner of Outdoor Ops, told commissioners the company has invested about $2 million in a new warehouse near Delta and that the proposed equipment would remove current production bottlenecks: \"With that new building we're ready to have that growth, and this equipment is a help and a big step towards that.\" Adam Richland said the META board ranked applications by job creation and alignment with the grant's stated objectives before recommending the funding.

Commissioners debated whether to allocate the full $160,000 recommended by the META board or a smaller amount so the grant fund could support additional applicants. Some commissioners argued that smaller awards spread among many firms produce little economic traction; others said infrastructure investments (for example, water piping to serve the larger industrial area) could yield broader benefits. Richland and other presenters noted the board had considered infrastructure needs and had recommended separate allocations, including a $60,000 item identified for water piping to help extend municipal water service in the long term.

The commission considered an initial motion to fund $80,000 then adopted a substitute motion to follow the META board recommendation. The substitute motion to award $160,000 passed on an affirmative vote; the meeting record shows the commission adopted the META board's recommendation.

Funding source and limits: The award will come from the county's Rural County Grant Program allocation. Richland read the program language and emphasized that the grant contract terms require funds to be used for economic-development activities described in the county's program documents. Presenters and commissioners noted that the program can be structured in future years to include loans or other financing tools, but for the current funding cycle the board and the commission treated the money as grant funding tied to the program contract.

What happens next: Outdoor Ops said the equipment quotes and timing are in place; the company expects to install machines and begin hiring quickly after the county completes its contracting. Commissioners said the award does not preclude other applicants from returning to the META board for future funding rounds.

Closing note: Commissioners and the META board asked staff to better document and present future recommendations (equipment quotes, line-item budgets and any proposed infrastructure work) so the commission can evaluate partial awards or staged funding more easily.","The Millard County Commission voted to award $160,000 from the county's Rural County Grant Program to Outdoor Ops (doing business as Predator Armor) for manufacturing equipment and related site improvements intended to create immediate jobs and support future growth in Delta-area industrial property.","actionData","errors"]
