Daggett County Commission approves disbursements, grant contract, GIS work and other routine items
Summary
Daggett County commissioners approved a series of routine administrative and financial actions, including acknowledgement of a $64,154.70 disbursement listing and approval of a state grant contract, during their August meeting.
Daggett County commissioners approved a series of routine items during their meeting, including acknowledgment of a disbursement list, approval of a state grant contract for county economic assistance, issuance of a work cellphone for the county victim advocate, a contract to set up Esri parcel fabric with Jones & DeMille Engineering, adoption of Resolution 25-12 related to centrally assessed properties, ratification of an airport insurance application, and a motion to enter closed session to discuss real property matters.
The actions were taken by motion and voice vote. The commission first acknowledged a disbursement listing that covered payments dated 08/10–08/14/2025 totaling $64,154.70. Commissioners then approved a contract from the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity identified in the meeting as contract number 26063270. The commission approved issuance of a county cell phone for the office’s victim advocate so the advocate would not need to use a personal number for work contacts. The commission also approved an agreement with Jones & DeMille Engineering to create an Esri parcel fabric for the county and provide on-call GIS support as needed. The board adopted Resolution 25-12 authorizing the filing of appeals for 2025 centrally assessed properties, specifically naming Mid American Pipeline and PacifiCorp in the motion. The commission ratified an airport liability insurance application submitted to Gallagher, and voted to go into a closed session to discuss purchase, exchange, or lease of real property related to the RDA and a participation agreement with a developer.

Why it matters
The actions move forward routine county financial and administrative business: disbursements clear county obligations, the grant contract enables an economic-opportunity program to proceed, issuing a county phone aims to protect victim confidentiality and preserve continuity of services, and the parcel-fabric work is an investment in county land and records management that will affect assessing and mapping functions. Adopting Resolution 25-12 preserves the county’s ability to participate in tax assessment appeals affecting large, centrally assessed utilities.
What commissioners said and next steps
Speakers noted the practical reasons for the victim-advocate phone (continuity and privacy) and discussed funding and assignment details for the GIS work, including which offices the work will serve. The commission directed staff to complete signature and purchase-order paperwork where required and moved to closed session to discuss an RDA participation agreement after the open meeting.
