Macintosh described personal and professional reasons for her work and summarized the goals of a proclamation: to give a voice to survivors, reduce stigma, increase awareness of warning signs, and promote available resources locally and statewide. She listed local and national resources referenced in the draft proclamation, including Four Corners Community Behavioral Health, Live On Utah, and the 988 suicide and crisis lifeline.

Macintosh read the proclamation text in which the commission would recognize suicide prevention and awareness month, citing national and state statistics and urging residents to participate in related events. The proclamation text included a request that the county encourage residents to recognize the seriousness of suicide and learn prevention steps.

Commissioners said because the proclamation was not on the posted agenda they could not vote at that meeting and would consider it at their next meeting. Macintosh invited commissioners and residents to a candlelight vigil on Sept. 10 at Price Peace Gardens and a Southeast Utah Hope Walk on Sept. 13.

No formal action occurred that night; the proclamation will be placed on the next meeting agenda for a vote.","Amanda Macintosh requested the commission proclaim September 2025 as Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month in Carbon County and read a draft proclamation; the item was not on the agenda and commissioners said they would vote at the next meeting.",{"_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},6493442,"Commission ratifies 2025 wildfire mitigation commitment and reviews statewide stage 2 fire restrictions",385,2078000,2463000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5576642-e9d35c1ca16817c82302d0f75669e027&start=2078&end=2463","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5576642-e9d35c1ca16817c82302d0f75669e027/thumbnail_2078000.jpg","/articles/6493442/Utah/Commission-ratifies-2025-wildfire-mitigation-commitment-and-reviews-statewide-stage-2-fire-restrictions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6493442-274d0d9878a601a3f5550b87f08c2bfc/orig.mp4?Expires=1770582025&Signature=DnQMzFkELt5RzA-Kt103JixOjW0-AAQLN6-5KB18UVCOAW3H4nLN~fXsWDbsKpHRjwdCfXnZdrEWFhNjNXUDGB7WWRqA2oJhUX3W04axYX0FDHrS~gyodA8xHB~5BNcF2XiQXKRVmE6nh-cOTSaJChXwZddfj2usZng8BNRFY1pYcMCna8~FfgJQ3ZpyR2WGmFmgYf2x~PJu9nLbI-BKeQxXjIl-9T7iVLXzoL5y~n~Bduzeaxcdie4tZ4pbHUTy4WiANUf2fNnLHPnxtRRKmYdODqd6dTOlAWt1wJyevfh~tYs7Y1jxznz5xiIGviN~DTly6DvsGoZ~fHiRvZiCmg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carbon County Commission ratified the Cooperative Wildfire System Participation Commitment Statement for 2025 and reviewed state-issued stage 2 fire restrictions affecting unincorporated county lands.

Commissioner Haddock (named in the meeting proclamation) explained the commitment statement to the commission as a mitigation and insurance strategy: if the county performs mitigation work valued at about $273,000 in strategic locations — work that can include roads-department tasks — the state will help cover wildfire suppression costs if a qualifying wildfire occurs. Haddock said the program is intended to protect structures and reduce the potential multi-million-dollar costs of suppressing large wildfires.

The commission voted to ratify the participation commitment statement; the motion carried unanimously.

Following the ratification, staff reviewed the Utah Division of Fire and Forestry Stage 2 fire restrictions, which became effective Aug. 1 at 12:01 a.m. and apply to state and private unincorporated lands across Utah. The restrictions prohibit building, maintaining or attending campfires (including charcoal or pellet grills) in unincorporated areas, smoking except in very limited locations, discharging fireworks or tracer ammunition, and certain metal-cutting or internal-combustion operations without approved spark arrestors. Properly shielded gas or liquid-fueled portable camp stoves in cleared areas remain allowed. Violations are class B misdemeanors and those who start fires may be liable for suppression costs.

Staff emphasized the restrictions do not apply inside incorporated city limits and encouraged residents to check with local fire departments for local regulations. No additional county action was taken on the restrictions; the discussion was informational.","Commissioners ratified the Cooperative Wildfire System Participation Commitment Statement for 2025, agreeing to mitigation work the county values at about $273,000; commissioners also reviewed Division of Fire and Forestry stage 2 fire restrictions that apply to unincorporated county lands.",{"_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},6493447,"Commission approves interlocal agreement with Price City for indigent defense services",218,1960000,2178000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5576642-e9d35c1ca16817c82302d0f75669e027&start=1960&end=2178","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5576642-e9d35c1ca16817c82302d0f75669e027/thumbnail_1960000.jpg","/articles/6493447/Utah/Commission-approves-interlocal-agreement-with-Price-City-for-indigent-defense-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6493447-be86f73c92ac7788d20cdc0b343fbd3f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770582025&Signature=Il~if4EOukBcMzWK4oBGK0PiBwB2AAeYcQr4Z2r2Z7g9k1yDKCipi9Nh4~7a6yhE5~UiM-u3zzQYug5EW2ujpgJs5G1h3B3iPZvsQYiAigDbnNGdS11i9cvjuNpxXHgAHtRLDslWKe79m9fPfYoXvwmLiN9jLc5CzKHZt~igIH1PYLuIyRd2SFaxy8yeFaNiWcurZSyk8-oMdHqoZFAxapoTA-fKdAxXTto~uKovZHwsDYvEZKvqjQl7~5cinD~lI-d-Gl1Jj2NpsTdZgH7Qn9GeD51KZEO0cxanoivnRKvvssmdwvr3KLFJDEFthdC~H94jQdEFUb2Gdq2ZJS7bOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carbon County Commission approved an interlocal agreement that contracts with Price City for provision of indigent defense services.

A motion to approve the interlocal agreement carried unanimously.

County staff said the monthly equivalent had previously been represented as a recurring payment to handle Price City's indigent defense needs; the agreement formalizes those payments and helps Price City document local support for federal funding applications.","The commission approved an interlocal agreement with Price City to provide indigent defense services, covering $99,600 retroactive to Jan. 1 through June 30, 2026; county staff said the agreement also supports a federal grant application.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6493453,"County allocates $75,000 from opioid settlement funds to local recovery nonprofit",570,1408000,1978000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5576642-e9d35c1ca16817c82302d0f75669e027&start=1408&end=1978","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5576642-e9d35c1ca16817c82302d0f75669e027/thumbnail_1408000.jpg","/articles/6493453/Utah/County-allocates-75000-from-opioid-settlement-funds-to-local-recovery-nonprofit","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6493453-08ff4c0380cda9c775c84da5694b8225/orig.mp4?Expires=1770582025&Signature=VoZphmgFzE7hA4LVoLYwrhrj-LQVEMAc2SHrFovAz4Agnery8K6TYMuv37Hcr92nSkAgjRTkssbVoEtk7qh7v5d9~VTXVAlc7sTitzBGi77xvPcYCcO4VZw7q3azuSEvlj-lp1MbY1WySiC4Shb1aMZSd0GBJldymof8Yxi4i91DWSto7zoxWyWzbxzfo1qfyJPSHu2MtbU7WRapOxZp~Fgp24L8LYZ34Wq5C7ZHXp234WzG-feIuf-J8gXqAdgadTIsYjLM2zbr6AndpFftlf5xfaAbx1b5ho62v0X~eRXd99hWN2QnOcO9RW86zz~k5Sb1am3bixJH9JQAVyfQFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carbon County Commission voted to allocate $75,000 from uncommitted opioid settlement funds to USARA (Utah Support Advocates and Recovery Awareness).

County staff summarized the opioid settlement receipts and current commitments: larger payments arrived in 2022 and 2024, but estimated receipts are declining (staff cited roughly $859,000 in 2022, $583,000 in 2024, and an estimated $463,000 in 2025). After prior commitments to public health partners and other programs, staff reported about $203,232 remained uncommitted at the time of the meeting.

USARA representatives were present and had previously presented at a county meeting. Commissioners and staff said declining future settlements make multi-year guarantees difficult; the commission said funding decisions for subsequent years will require annual requests and further review of available receipts. One commissioner recommended approving $75,000 for USARA this year and directing remaining uncommitted funds back through 4 Corners Health Department and other local partners.

A motion to approve the $75,000 allocation to USARA carried. The commissioners asked for an invoice from USARA to process payment and said the organization must report back annually on fund use, similar to other grantees.

USARA representatives thanked the commission and confirmed they will submit required documentation.","The Carbon County Commission approved a one-year allocation of $75,000 to Utah Support Advocates and Recovery Awareness (USARA) from uncommitted opioid settlement funds, with the county noting future annual amounts will require yearly requests because settlement receipts are declining.",{"_33":124,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":125,"_41":126,"_43":127,"_45":128,"_47":129,"_49":130,"_51":131,"_53":132,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":133,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":134,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6493458,"Carbon County adopts Transportation Master Plan, designates corridors for future growth",322,1181000,1503000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5576642-e9d35c1ca16817c82302d0f75669e027&start=1181&end=1503","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5576642-e9d35c1ca16817c82302d0f75669e027/thumbnail_1181000.jpg","/articles/6493458/Utah/Carbon-County-adopts-Transportation-Master-Plan-designates-corridors-for-future-growth","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6493458-a53cd0c937e4e0654e8a17c50614af21/orig.mp4?Expires=1770582025&Signature=gb5s2FHIbtqaufjGM~pKeAgJQ74OipUzPlgbhFHzog2ULIeGRKH-vDarzHhUaO7YLhskG1KewQ4e01zfGPKpTWL-5pq~bU1L1NyBCyO-qUPZ4Y255cuPeNw-8b~TZnV02TQi3hAoTSNqNA1JWTqGfS5H6u0XyzmYJKM6UeIrHdJa179s0dY3m2rRs4ZDyPPNS9gQdib8zwWaQ-e7a-3tjyfMJz78q0OvWt62uGhyzn9LxTV~IIFe~vSk7XwE-AsQQNMt-GDx~uJWm1Vl5ZxSOSKpgJHHL3PAyB1dT1Krvp7EId3ArH8ancwnBGiSS8PFPcyGbWLCwQNsRulVF8HbtA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carbon County Commission voted to adopt Resolution 2025-03, approving the county's Transportation Master Plan after a presentation from consultant McLean Farmer of Jones and Deville Engineering.

The plan, which Farmer described as “a road map” for county transportation, documents existing congestion and safety issues, identifies corridors for future development, and lists projects the county may pursue. Farmer told the commission the county held public open houses and a public hearing to gather input during the roughly 13-month planning process.

The plan includes a dedicated section describing matters that require coordination with the Utah Department of Transportation and notes a Transportation Planning Assistance Grant from UDOT helped fund the work. Farmer said the study examines how county roads interact with state highways and recommends policies and capacity improvements to manage future development.

Commissioners moved to adopt the resolution and the motion carried unanimously.

The plan sets a schedule of projects and policy guidance the county can use when reviewing development proposals and budgeting road work. County staff and the consultant said the document is intended to guide where and when new road corridors should be built as growth occurs, and to clarify roles when projects affect state highway safety or congestion.

Adoption of the plan does not itself authorize construction spending; it functions as the county's planning framework. The commission did not attach additional funding commitments to the resolution during the meeting.

The full Transportation Master Plan will be available through county offices and on the county website for residents and developers to review.","The Carbon County Commission adopted Resolution 2025-03 on the Transportation Master Plan after a presentation from consulting engineers; the plan lays out road corridors, project lists and coordination with Utah Department of Transportation.","actionData","errors"]
