Daggett County RDA approves $111,333 settlement to acquire utility easement from DP 1
Summary
The Daggett County RDA and commission approved a settlement and mutual-release agreement to acquire permanent utility easements from DP 1 / Delta Plan 1 LLC for $111,333.33, to be paid by the RDA and recorded in Daggett County's name; work may begin upon issuance of payment per the agreement.
The Daggett County Redevelopment Agency (RDA), acting in the county’s interest in infrastructure, approved a settlement and mutual-release agreement to acquire permanent utility easements from DP 1 and Delta Plan 1 LLC for $111,333.33.
Under the agreement, the RDA will pay a total of $111,333.33 to acquire the easements; the easements will be recorded in the county’s name, and quick-claim deeds and a stipulated dismissal with prejudice will be executed and recorded after payment. The agreement describes permanent 25-foot and 40-foot utility easements to accommodate water, sewer, electrical and potential future utilities; the purchase and recording process also corrects prior easement descriptions referenced in the transcript.
The parties discussed implementation logistics: the payment may be split into two checks to account for different ownership interests, and the agreement includes language that the payment will be made to the law firm for the benefit of the owners (the transcript states the final instrument names the law firm as payee for benefit). The transcript shows the commission and RDA discussed whether the county auditor (Carrie) could process an invoice register immediately; staff said Carrie was off site and not available to sign off on fund availability, so the board discussed scheduling a special meeting (potentially Thursday) for the RDA open-invoice register to enable quicker payment processing. The attorneys indicated that, under the agreement’s payment language, work may begin when the payment is issued (the contract references payment and subsequent dismissal filings). The settlement also notes a stipulated dismissal with prejudice will be filed within 10 business days after full payment.
The commission moved and seconded approval of the settlement and recorded approval on the record. The transcript does not contain a roll-call vote with individual yes/no names; the motion was moved, seconded and confirmed by the commission. The RDA will prepare the open invoice register and coordinate with the county auditor and the clerk to issue payment and record the easement documents.
