Candy Pendleton, representing the Sweetwater Events Complex and Sweetwater County, explained the historical partnership and the allocation of funds: sponsorship support helps offset trophies, ribbons and judges for 4-H and FFA activities and provides ticket allocations for county employees. The agreement package covered 2025, 2026 and 2027; Pendleton said the county could choose a one-year renewal cadence if it preferred but historically had used three-year terms.

A commissioner from the tourism and economic development team asked for a complimentary booth space at the fair; Pendleton said she would reserve an indoor booth and provide a form so the county could submit contact details. The commission voted to approve the agreement and one commissioner noted the sponsorship amount: \"It's a $9,000 sponsorship agreement for those those 3 years,\" a commissioner said during the motion and second.

Pendleton agreed to resend the contract document via email and to forward a booth registration form so the county's tourism director can complete logistics. The commission approved the sponsorship and asked staff to file the agreement.","The commission approved a three-year sponsorship agreement with Sweetwater Events Complex to list Daggett County as a sponsor of the Sweetwater-Daggett County Fair and to offset 4-H and FFA expenses; the board also requested a booth and logistics details from the events team.",{"_33":86,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":87,"_41":88,"_43":89,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":50,"_51":92,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":93,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":94,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6650186,"Commissioners start process to vacate right of way to create clinic parcel, require utility notice",263,3335595,3599340,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2510536-c2d32afc7b554d12a508033ca200b8e9&start=3335&end=3599","/articles/6650186/Utah/Commissioners-start-process-to-vacate-right-of-way-to-create-clinic-parcel-require-utility-notice","Daggett County commissioners voted to begin the formal petition to vacate a stretch of right of way on First North that will allow creation of a parcel intended for a new county clinic.

At the meeting the county's assistant or county official outlined the statutory process and the board discussed next steps. Staff confirmed the county must provide 10 days' notice under the relevant statute before a final vacation can be approved. A county official said they would deliver the petition language to the clerk that afternoon: \"I'll give Lorinda the actual petition and the language for her to add it. I'll give that to her this afternoon,\" one commissioner said.

The petition will require proof of written notice to utilities that run through the property. Commissioners and staff identified possible utilities to notify, including the town water service, Bridger Valley Electric, Union Telephone and a fiber cable serving the elementary school. Staff said they would confirm the full list of utilities with the school manager.

A commissioner moved to start the petition process and set the required notices; another commissioner seconded. The board called for the question and recorded the motion as carried.

Staff were directed to file the petition language, send statutory notices to affected utilities and return the item to a future agenda for final vacation approval after the 10-day notice period.","Daggett County commissioners voted to begin the petition to vacate a right of way on First North to allow creation of a parcel for a new clinic; staff were directed to provide written notice to utilities and return the matter for final approval after the statutory notice period.",{"_33":96,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":97,"_41":98,"_43":99,"_45":100,"_47":101,"_49":50,"_51":102,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":103,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":104,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6650190,"Daggett County commissioners press to salvage self-help housing effort as local workers face eviction risk",594,32270,626900,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2510536-c2d32afc7b554d12a508033ca200b8e9&start=32&end=626","/articles/6650190/Utah/Daggett-County-commissioners-press-to-salvage-self-help-housing-effort-as-local-workers-face-eviction-risk","Daggett County commissioners spent an extended portion of their meeting discussing barriers to the county's self-help affordable housing effort and potential workarounds after officials said applicants' credit and occupancy requirements are preventing families from qualifying.

Commissioners said they remain short of the required qualified applicants to proceed with a pending self-help construction project and noted at least one county deputy has been told by a school board he must vacate housing because the family cannot find affordable alternatives.

The discussion opened during the commissioners' issue-updates segment, when a commissioner noted a public hearing on a Dutch John water bond and then asked about affordable workforce housing. Staff reported only one person had applied who was unsure she would qualify, and another person might try to pair up with a co-buyer. Commissioners repeatedly raised creditworthiness as the main barrier: \"It's getting people approved with the credit because the low income people that we're trying to help are the ones that are challenged,\" a participant said.

Commissioners and staff explored possible ways to be more flexible within the program rules. They asked whether two families could jointly own and occupy a single unit and whether a non-occupying cosigner could strengthen an applicant's loan application. One commissioner asked for clarification from the program administrator, noting, \"Maybe have UBAC clarify if they could get a cosigner to help them with that.\" The group agreed to raise those specific questions with Laurie from UBAC later in the afternoon.

Officials also discussed outreach and retention: keeping a rotating advertisement in the county newsletter and on social media, producing a flyer for Facebook, and encouraging family or friends to help meet work-hour requirements tied to the program. \"As soon as we get 1 person qualified, we lose somebody and we could never get the group enough all at once,\" a commissioner said, describing previous efforts. Several speakers urged a creative approach to avoid losing the current tranche of applicants.

Commissioners stressed the urgency created by staffing and housing shortages. One commissioner warned: \"He has been given notice by the school board that he needs to vacate because they were going to be hiring potentially for new positions at the school, and he is not having any luck finding anything that he can afford to live in.\" Participants discussed interim rental options, the possibility of the county temporarily holding units or allowing rental while purchases are staggered, and whether program rules permit the county to take temporary ownership.

No formal action was taken. Commissioners directed staff to: (1) ask UBAC for written clarification on occupancy and cosigner rules, (2) explore targeted outreach (newsletter, social media and flyers) to find more qualified applicants, and (3) follow up on the immediate housing need for at least one deputy so staffing is not imperiled. The board said they would discuss options with Laurie at the scheduled afternoon meeting. The commission also said it would continue trying to recruit the remaining qualified applicants to meet program requirements.

Ending

Commissioners emphasized the project's importance and pledged to keep pursuing creative solutions while seeking formal clarifications from the administering organization. No vote was taken on program changes at the meeting.","Commissioners and staff discussed barriers to the county's self-help affordable housing program, including credit and occupancy rules, the possibility of cosigners, and urgent cases of county employees struggling to find housing.","actionData","errors"]
