The Duchesne County Commissioners held a combined working and regular meeting on September 22, 2025, focusing on key initiatives to enhance local facilities and address legislative changes impacting property assessments.

During the meeting, a significant discussion centered on the county's commitment to improving its fairgrounds and facilities. A commissioner emphasized the importance of pride in the county and the need for continuous improvement, stating, "We have to plan and move forward for the future." This sentiment led to a motion to accept a contract bid from Jones and Benel Engineering for $28,005, which was unanimously approved by the commission.

Another critical topic addressed was new legislation requiring the county to collect a fee related to the cost of living adjustments. The proposed fee, which was discussed as being steep at 20 cents per square foot, raised concerns among the commissioners. One commissioner expressed frustration, noting that simply assessing property fees does not address the underlying issues affecting the community.

The meeting highlighted the county's proactive approach to enhancing local infrastructure while navigating the complexities of new legislative requirements. The commissioners are set to continue discussions on these matters in future meetings, aiming to find solutions that benefit the residents of Duchesne County.
