Jenny (county attorney’s office) briefed the commission on the settlement offer and a related distribution timetable.

Jenny said the settlement provides an estimated $5,000,000,000 in total funds to be distributed to participating jurisdictions, with an initial distribution of about $1,500,000,000 expected in 2026. She said the county must decide whether to opt in by Sept. 30, 2025, and that opting in would finalize the county’s direct claims against certain manufacturers while preserving the opportunity to deploy funds toward opioid-prevention and treatment programs. If the county declined to opt in, Jenny said it would preserve litigation rights but the state appears likely to participate.

Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to opt in; the motion carried unanimously. The board asked staff to ensure settlement notices and opt-in paperwork are routed to county offices and not filtered as spam so the county can complete any necessary legal steps before the September deadline.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Beaver County Utah Public Meetings Live Stream","oneSentenceSummary","County legal staff reported a multi-billion-dollar national opioid settlement option; the board approved opting in and directed staff to monitor incoming paperwork ahead of a Sept. 30, 2025 opt-in deadline.","taxTitle","Beaver County Commission Meeting, Beaver County Boards and Commissions, Beaver County, Utah","taxId",67307,"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},6171883,"Beaver County commissioners vote to abandon and terminate flood-control easement on parcel tied to River Solar project",326,639000,965000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5393386-fd0dfff315facac7332ca06e0e6fe146&start=639&end=965","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5393386-fd0dfff315facac7332ca06e0e6fe146/thumbnail_639000.jpg","/articles/6171883/Utah/Beaver-County-commissioners-vote-to-abandon-and-terminate-flood-control-easement-on-parcel-tied-to-River-Solar-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6171883-475d23646f972be067ecb0511601a964/orig.mp4?Expires=1771167411&Signature=MER6fkBfUDLFDcDagUIXW5KfeCTiK9fCldM2nvgtj3NiyolBRJseNHmyuRhdtQSsPaFkHo5v~Vznv9WK~hk6lFlX2qib2Ry2Jnbnl0f59EvHdKzkPQbbmfgJ09XRLY~8Bqvv3wS3cLCJC7w18cPCHat8yMDfQnNMCfhjAMI9DBZSeyKU1KLz7k4bdPj1AeTQDDTEWg923UU-Yd2PxRT26lRg-EZ-~eYBoj99JfBQyc9rZL74t6yhvWT4avaz4Q~dQa554CbMmHS2pNC-WAg7RqLKp4Wptjb-9epQ7Eth8JJyUbH0f25Dw3snolxv~NaDiFrUgJLy5TRFrK9XWs-8Jw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Beaver County commissioners voted July 15 to abandon, release and terminate a county flood-control easement on a parcel located along Geo Purple Road, adjacent to the River Solar project. The vote followed an advertised public hearing at which no members of the public addressed the board.

Commission staff explained the easement appeared on title from earlier decades and that county records and staff research showed no functional flood-control use tied to the parcel. The presenter said the easement was likely recorded when a prior project was planned in the 1950s–1960s and never built.

Commissioner Pearson declared a conflict of interest during the discussion because he owns land in the project area and did not participate in the portion of the meeting concerning the easement. The commission passed a motion to abandon, release and terminate the flood-control easement; the transcript records the motion and a second and shows the chair calling for a roll call and the motion passing unanimously among participating members.

County staff said the item would be brought back as a formal action item on a future agenda to complete the necessary documentation on title. Until that follow up, the public hearing was closed and staff noted further administrative steps were required to finalize title changes.","The Beaver County Commission voted to abandon, release and terminate a county-held flood-control easement on a parcel near the River Solar project after a public hearing and in-office review; one commissioner recused for conflict of interest.",{"_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},6171888,"Beaver County agency approves interlocal agreements and tax-increment deal for Milford 2 expansion",744,1087000,1831000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5393386-fd0dfff315facac7332ca06e0e6fe146&start=1087&end=1831","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5393386-fd0dfff315facac7332ca06e0e6fe146/thumbnail_1087000.jpg","/articles/6171888/Utah/Beaver-County-agency-approves-interlocal-agreements-and-tax-increment-deal-for-Milford-2-expansion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6171888-80415fa5a88cdc8c94e8a2d0bb4f0492/orig.mp4?Expires=1771167411&Signature=M~L9et7xZuItjr0B7qsAkoTsXmWrCm2216WseTtxUohASWEv7ySZE6PRgEjMsvjztLW8iLxBMsJv9SCAqTgYBWW2IhvjoJfPku1OuOwHd8EBS9vJN8iOPf2U8bUo74ev2Cc4WGjeuTiJNc0Kqf1tV~SHgvLcWRXrpx85~O431m24vhlU6xuFTSU2Ldw-plg8BDnhuqvZ~3H34no6S44HkGCXN1a1azgluMzYIzG82v~Ma4OEYhkKKdDcqYxtLYSh11R1xH9WAdIhbXxVoTA0z8ug3IjOXz9SY-17-SPQFf4B60s~Av0yNsFcKEe7NqrE5R33fPj~wuF3KD2u7FkDfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Beaver County Community Development and Renewal Agency on July 15 authorized interlocal agreements with the county, school district, fire district and hospital district and approved a tax-increment participation agreement tied to the Milford 2 expansion project. The actions were taken during a reconvened agency session of the Beaver County Commission and passed by voice vote with commissioners present indicating aye.

Agency staff described the action as the final step to allow the developer to secure financing. Jason (agency staff) said the interlocal agreements set the period over which tax-increment subsidies would be collected and that each taxing entity had already approved its own interlocal agreement. He told trustees the agency still needed to assemble executed copies of the four exhibits that document the individual interlocal agreements.

The board also approved a one-page resolution authorizing execution of a tax-increment participation agreement (resolution numbers referenced in the packet: 2025-12 and 2025-50). Agency counsel said the participation agreement ties developer payments to conditions such as issuance of a certificate of completion for required project infrastructure, timely payment of property taxes by the developer and continued operation of the project. The consultant noted that language requiring default interest in the event of delayed agency remittance had been removed and that the agency would make payments after the taxing entities completed their normal reconciliation and remittance processes; the agency’s payment deadline in the agreement was described as on or before May 31 following the tax year.

Brian (developer representative) noted the county and the developer have worked on the project for about 10–15 years and that some landowners in the project area had longstanding agreements with the developer. Commissioners Yardley and Hollings voted aye on the measures as recorded in the meeting transcript; Commissioner Pearson declared a conflict earlier in the meeting and did not participate in the related votes.

The agency’s approvals begin a public-noticing process and contestability period required before tax increments are collected and disbursed, agency staff said. The interlocal agreements and the tax-increment participation agreement together establish the mechanism by which a portion of new property tax revenue generated inside the Milford 2 expansion area may be used to reimburse project costs to the developer if the project meets the agreed conditions.","The Beaver County Community Development and Renewal Agency approved resolutions to enter interlocal agreements with taxing entities and a tax-increment participation agreement with the developer for the Milford 2 expansion, clearing a key financing step for the project.","actionData","errors"]
