The Weber County Commission on Jan. 7 approved a package of warrants and purchase orders and voted to authorize multiple vendor and service contracts for the 2025 Weber County Fair, the new Child Justice Center (CJC) and county operations.

The commission approved warrants totaling $849,602.19 and purchase orders of about $332,975, with county finance director Ricky Hatch reporting 44 purchase orders for roughly $333,000 and 104 warrants for $850,000. "We issued 44 purchase orders this week for a total amount of $333,000," Hatch said, and he described the largest categories of spending, including library maintenance and a Caterpillar compact wheel loader for property management.

During the consent and regular agenda the commission approved a series of fair contracts for vendors and entertainment booked for the 2025 Weber County Fair, including contracts with Backcountry Horsemen of Utah, MC Services (Matt Drake), Animal Cracker Conspiracy, Great Basin Antique Farm Machinery, Utah Youth Rodeo Association, Utah State University (4‑H livestock showmanship), Wooden Creations, Bullfighters Only, Broken Heart Rodeo Company, Cowtown USA (petting zoo), Stern Dirt Racing (demolition derby), TSE Entertainment (Tyler Braden), and Fuel Marketing for media buys. Several fair-related presenters explained that the contracts were either repeat vendors or part of multi-year arrangements; the agreements were approved by voice vote.

The commission also approved facility and technology contracts for the new Child Justice Center: CCI Network Services for installation and three years of Utopia internet service and interview-room camera management; TVS Pro for AV equipment and Zoom/cabling support in the training and conference rooms; and DSI for an enterprise CCTV and door-access system. Commissioners praised project staff and contractors for meeting ADA requirements and for vendor contributions of additional cabling and services.

Separately, the commission authorized a contract between Weber County and Dr. Robert Groh to continue serving as medical director and supervising physician for the Weber County Paramedic/EMS Program. The county said a supervising physician is required by licensure to approve procedures and drugs administered in the field.

Most motions were approved by unanimous voice vote or roll call; a small number of trustee appointment resolutions were tabled for further vetting.
