Summary
On Feb. 11 the Weber County Commission approved consent items 1–11, authorizing $62,123.84 in purchase orders and $3,526,759.46 in warrants covering health department vaccine purchases, road construction, transfer-station costs and fleet vehicle replacements, and approving several event contracts and an outside legal engagement.
The Weber County Commission on Feb. 11 approved its consent agenda, authorizing $62,123.84 in purchase orders and $3,526,759.46 in warrants for county operations and contracts, commissioners said.
Ricky Hatch, a county staff member who presented the financial summary, said, "We issued 10 purchase orders this week for $62,000" and provided an itemized breakdown of the warrants and purchase orders. He told commissioners that roughly three-quarters of the purchase-order total—$45,000—was for the health department to purchase vaccines and that about 16% (approximately $10,000) was for ice-plant maintenance at the county ice sheet.
Hatch said the county issued 226 warrants this week totaling $3,526,759.46. He said about $889,000 (roughly one quarter) went to the transfer station for disposal fees, scale replacement and related equipment; about $811,000 (23%) went to road construction work, with payments noted for 5500 West in Hooper, 3300 South in West Haven and 12th Street; $727,000 (about 20%) related to construction of the Children’s Justice Center; and $462,000 (13%) was for the fleet department for vehicle replacements for 2025. Hatch identified the top five vendors by total paid amount as Hooper City ($742,000), Wadman Corporation ($664,000), Republic Services ($653,000), YF3X (as read in the transcript) ($440,000, name not otherwise specified), and Wheeler Machinery ($304,000).
The consent agenda also included routine approvals and contracts: minutes from the Feb. 4 meeting; new business licenses; a beer license; contracts with Shaylin Haviland to manage stalls and RVs during the Icebreaker Rodeo; three contracts with the Rocky Mountain Barrel Racing Association for the Dash for Darl's D'Aless Barrel Race, the Winter Arena Brawl and the Fall Arena Brawl; and a letter of engagement with Ballard Spahr LLP for outside legal counsel assistance on future development transactions.
A commissioner moved to approve consent items 1 through 11, another commissioner seconded, and the motion carried on a voice vote of three ayes.
The commission then moved to adjourn.
