Carbon County acknowledges bids for weed/mosquito chemicals, seeks quotes for vehicle and fireworks; appoints two members to children’s‑justice center board

At the Feb. 19 meeting, Carbon County commissioners processed several routine procurement and appointment items: they acknowledged bids for abatement chemicals, confirmed no sealed bids were received for a midsize assessor vehicle and the Fourth of July fireworks show, and approved two board appointments.

On pesticides and mosquito‑abatement chemicals, the commission said it received two bids: one from Steve Reagan Co. of Salt Lake and one from ADAPTCO of Lake Mary, Florida. Commissioners authorized County Public Works (Chris Rowley mentioned by name) and Commissioner Jensen to review the submitted bids and decide where to purchase chemicals.

For a midsize car requested by the assessor’s office, county staff reported no sealed bids. Commissioners moved to acknowledge that no bids were received and to allow the assessor’s office and county staff to seek used vehicles and authorize a purchase if a suitable option is found.

The county also reported that no bids were received to run the 2025 Fourth of July fireworks show. Commissioners authorized Courtney (county staff) to seek alternative quotes and pursue other companies willing to provide services for the event.

On appointments, the commission approved adding Barbara Regan and Jeremy Cunningham to the Friends of the Carbon‑Emery Children’s Justice Center board for 2025. Commissioners said the change would be an amendment to resolution 2024‑04 and noted the board may have up to 15 members under its bylaws.

All of the motions in these items passed by voice vote; specific roll‑call tallies were not recorded in the meeting transcript.
