County staff prepare confidentiality (NDA) for prospective employer; agreement will note GRAMA limits
Summary
Staff asked the commission to authorize a standard confidentiality agreement (NDA) with a company interested in expanding operations in western Pleasant View; the draft mirrors a prior NDA used with a local university and explicitly states that the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) overrides confidentiality claims.
County administration staff described a proposed confidentiality agreement requested by a company exploring expansion in the Pleasant View / Far West area. The draft agreement mirrors a recent nondisclosure agreement the county used with Weber State University and includes an explicit clause that the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA) governs public records and supersedes any confidentiality clause in the NDA.
Why it matters: Staff said the company wanted an NDA before discussing site‑specific information; the county’s standard practice is to include explicit language preserving GRAMA and public‑records obligations. Staff recommended placing the NDA on the consent agenda for signature and noted the draft had been reviewed by county attorneys.
Next steps: Staff planned to place the NDA on the commission consent agenda for signature and to hold a meeting with the prospective company later in the week. Commissioners did not object to proceeding with the GRAMA‑sensitive NDA language.
