Staff and board members spent extended discussion on Priority 1, which aims to make community resources and health services more visible and easier to find. Several board members recommended clarifying whether the priority focuses solely on communicating existing resources or also on improving equitable access to those resources. Staff said the goals as written were intentionally outcome‑focused and that measurable objectives and action items — including a proposed community health equity promotion campaign and a shared resource inventory — will be developed beneath each priority to provide specific, measurable steps.

Board members and staff noted proposed objectives already include convening cross‑sector partners to co‑create a shared services inventory, establishing a health‑equity consortium, and developing culturally and linguistically tailored materials for underserved populations. Several board members suggested changing the primary action verb in Priority 1 to center communication efforts on improving equitable access and community benefit; staff agreed to refine the wording and return a final draft with objectives and metrics.

Action taken: the board made a motion to support the CHIP priorities as proposed, with direction that staff refine Priority 1’s language and bring a final CHIP document back for adoption at a later meeting; the motion passed unanimously.

Staff said the final CHIP report — with objectives, measurable indicators and background — will return to the board for formal approval, with the full document expected by December.","The Board of Health voted Aug. 4 to support three CHIP priorities and asked staff to refine wording for Priority 1 (community resource communication and health equity) before a final December adoption.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6590862,"Summit County health leaders present proposed 2026 budget, cite calendar‑year timing and federal uncertainty",638,2118000,2756000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5546731-886ca721ad642c130de5993835d45d66&start=2118&end=2756","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5546731-886ca721ad642c130de5993835d45d66/thumbnail_2118000.jpg","/articles/6590862/Utah/Summit-County-health-leaders-present-proposed-2026-budget-cite-calendaryear-timing-and-federal-uncertainty","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6590862-7cc1e71189cfd0bfeae133cd53d7ea9c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770753576&Signature=MuulFjcijMaeBkXg3pJehJQthoq6MVdMd9CzjwO0bWReK22iO3eCf7mShJB2fOh5sZvZag0MOP4C-sMXLuNKHmE-OLDq5r5cwMjPd3JFYMG0dMEPJ-3GThhgryk0UXF1lc6b~apOwrInF919HSLKB449f2jbrfMmNwhO9DIZVohyXrJN53jECZzWnnFPUs1wI88F8IImZyJsqWWauxEeJQgOM7Uy98yBmeR7Pdce~JFrtR6w6Tem6S4WXb5cQPfhG~WonXyt0JdeL~nEP~SxoX29nUbb4R4CbdMz7XlOb5QTIn9uOmHoGc5TfNRy4okmTx96f4glYkVIvjABYh2HYA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Summit County health department leaders reviewed a proposed 2026 budget at the Aug. 4 Board of Health meeting and said the department is projecting a modest reduction from the 2025 budget in the current draft while including a set‑aside for initial implementation of the county’s Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).

Staff explained the department operates on a calendar‑year budget cycle that produces proposed figures in midyear; they noted the department’s current working figure decreases from $10.8 million to roughly $10.5 million in the proposed plan, reflecting a roughly 3% reduction before accounting for county cost‑of‑living and merit adjustments not yet finalized by the county’s compensation committee. Staff said those personnel decisions will be inserted into the budget once the county sets COLA and merit levels later in the fall.

Presenters described volatility in federal grant funding and said the department expects the first half of federal allocations through June 30, 2026, to be reasonably secure under current contracts, while funding for the remainder of the fiscal year will depend on federal appropriations chances in the new congressional budget cycle. Department staff referenced one‑time preparedness funding (an MRC Strong grant) that inflated preparedness totals in the prior year and is absent in the proposed 2026 figures. Staff said other preparedness funding — including an emergency services tax that funds search and rescue and other emergency resources — may be considered to support public‑health preparedness if county general revenue becomes constrained.

The proposed budget includes a set‑aside for CHIP startup activities housed in the administration budget and cross‑departmental priorities. Staff said the budget will go to the county budget committee, county manager and county council for approval by December; the Board of Health will be asked to adopt the department budget before the 2026 calendar year begins.

Board members asked whether grants and fees are expected to hold steady; staff said grants and fees are expected to remain largely level in the near term but that federal allocations after June 30 remain uncertain and will be reassessed after congressional appropriations are clearer in October.

Staff emphasized the department’s intention to remain conservative in the proposal and to update the budget as county compensation decisions and federal allocations become final.","Health department staff presented a proposed 2026 budget that holds relatively steady from 2025 amid federal funding uncertainty; officials said a CHIP implementation set‑aside is included and that final county COLA/merit decisions later this year could raise totals.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6590868,"Summit County health officials expand wastewater testing and prepare schools amid rising measles cases",715,676000,1391000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5546731-886ca721ad642c130de5993835d45d66&start=676&end=1391","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5546731-886ca721ad642c130de5993835d45d66/thumbnail_676000.jpg","/articles/6590868/Utah/Summit-County-health-officials-expand-wastewater-testing-and-prepare-schools-amid-rising-measles-cases","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6590868-7c3fdf0db2c4961fa14fc9b7df3629fc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770753576&Signature=fc37i1VJmehEUC8B61Xq7t2mYVtwHBd0zRpVdVDxMvTI5oOAggafMQ35XdEYfkxj5~KK73bZsnocG93XjKUgU~WB4kA0FGjAFnaKlTFgN82E-pIOlQtoO2DrzzfP5Ghik19ZFhxpS4-5GFSrBThoAnIwamRmASTQaxzk9pKaCPmXOSZAUCsagPkXLJLmT~90sFvIes58ZW2pHvJb3SrRCBaZLjvWM52LRr54g3uesDHaDwUfVM3Z5WeqvhFUCMJDwvQrdHAPGQUz8gVs6f4fs1kjZA6r3mx9PQAQx696bTkTA1ZfsqRUysTwAG9WmCo0lTebt3kk~KD6YgTgacJHgA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Summit County health officials reported Aug. 4 that statewide wastewater testing has been expanded to include measles and that the state will fund weekly composite sampling for at least the coming year. County staff said the state’s dashboard is not yet public, and they plan to mirror that data on the county website when it is available.

Health staff told the Board of Health that Utah’s confirmed measles case count has risen modestly in recent weeks; the county itself has not reported confirmed local transmission in the meeting record. County public‑health staff described wastewater testing for measles as a presence/absence indicator rather than a quantitative estimate of total cases, and they cautioned against extrapolating case counts from viral concentrations because shedding varies widely by person.

Officials described the county’s expected role if measles cases are identified locally: school nurses or school staff would notify public‑health officials about suspected or confirmed cases; county staff and school nurses would jointly identify close contacts, review immunization records, and support decisions about exclusion periods. The county said state law will determine exclusion timelines; staff stated that exclusion for unvaccinated contacts will be 21 days per exposure under existing state rules.

County staff described plans to meet with local schools to align roles and communications before the school year begins and to discuss whether vaccination clinics at schools are appropriate. They said the state will host a public dashboard of wastewater results and the county will replicate that data to make it accessible to local stakeholders.

Officials emphasized the contagious, respiratory nature of measles and noted that wastewater surveillance is a complementary tool that can provide early detection of community presence, particularly among transient or tourist populations not captured by case reporting.

Staff said the department will include wastewater results in its routine measles updates and coordinate with schools on case identification, contact tracing and exclusion decisions.","County health staff reported increased wastewater testing for measles, described the county’s role in case response and school coordination, and said the state has begun weekly wastewater sampling that will be shown on a public dashboard.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6590873,"Summit County Board of Health unanimously approves annual environmental service attestation",4415,0,4415000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5546731-886ca721ad642c130de5993835d45d66&start=0&end=4415","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5546731-886ca721ad642c130de5993835d45d66/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6590873/Utah/Summit-County-Board-of-Health-unanimously-approves-annual-environmental-service-attestation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6590873-7e62f87510cdb02323f430b7d9cb4412/orig.mp4?Expires=1770753576&Signature=n9vTKmQbM16olmp1AHNoREdea0jPb2y827yKgOomgaEAjCj5OVIQ3NFLdH~BfGa8Ozgkkf~c2AOnYi8UzFB~FJOu8SdzpcoIhUs82HtWfdEi1wNF4lj2GHsjtUgf5k9ZUg219lgOIdPlOjZE8zsEr9m61MI-Dqgy-rUqjG1v8xNdeARyP9EKKaenPozIk4-g6A2tfN8kk~SOPOA~EWsnCXi8PooQnhhGu1GLotxV53Y91kaJNxw1f78Lxs8ICXHE-Gz5ZrHtQu1Tcsd4fzmCdZIxP132FFYR87rhk7B89yFG6xuphcm-RKzTsTTEE5fSeZoy6C5p4lnyTNHKSPlY3Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Summit County Board of Health voted unanimously Aug. 4 to authorize county health staff to sign the county’s annual attestation to the Utah Division of Environmental Quality that confirms delivery of environmental public‑health services and the associated financial and activities report.

Board members and staff said the updated attestation format standardizes reporting across the state’s 13 local health districts and mirrors recent changes from the Division of Environmental Quality. County staff described the update as a reformatting of existing requirements, not a change in funding levels: state funds flow to the county, county staff perform inspections and field work, and the county cannot receive final payment until the completed report is submitted to the state.

The attestation covers a range of environmental health work the department performs under contract with DEQ, including used‑oil collection site inspections, hazardous‑waste complaint investigations, and responses to water‑quality emergencies. County staff told the board the used‑oil program traces to the 1990s and supports seven collection sites in the county (most are automotive service businesses and two are at county landfill locations). Inspectors visit those sites twice a year, in spring and fall, to confirm proper operations and to help resolve problems. Staff said the used‑oil collection sites are reimbursed by the state; individual residents or farmers who illegally discharge used oil remain subject to enforcement if detected.

Staff also described the department’s role in water quality incidents, noting that smaller local water systems occasionally require boil‑water notifications and sample collection. Those events have been “usually minimal,” staff said, typically two to three events per year in recent seasons.

Action taken: the board moved and seconded a motion to authorize county health staff to sign the annual environmental service delivery plan, financial and activities report and approved it unanimously.

The department will submit the signed attestation to DEQ to release the county’s final contract payment for the period covered by the report.","The Board of Health voted unanimously Aug. 4 to authorize county health staff to sign the annual attestation to the state Division of Environmental Quality confirming delivery of environmental public‑health services and associated financial and activity reporting.","actionData","errors"]
