Votes at a glance
- Zone change (LeGrand Webster property): Approved. The commission approved rezoning approximately 52.25 acres from residential (R‑1 half acre and R‑5) to rural agriculture 20‑acre (RA‑20). The zone change implements a previously approved agricultural protection area that was contingent on the rezoning. The motion passed after a public hearing; the mover/second were not captured by the meeting audio and the vote was recorded by voice (“Aye, motion carries”).
- VOCA and UVSP victim‑services grants (Sheriff’s Office): Approved. The commission accepted preliminary awards for the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grant of $90,612.55 (two‑year total) and the Utah Victim Services Program (UVSP) state grant of $150,000 (two‑year total) to support county victim‑services staffing and emergency assistance. Motion carried by voice vote.
- May 2025 tax sale results: Approved. The county sold 59 properties at the May tax sale for a total of $454,794.37; county collections were $66,892.95 for back taxes and fees. The commission ratified the sale results.
- Public Infrastructure District (PID) fee schedule update: Approved. The commission adopted an updated fee structure for PID applications and administration that sets a $2,000 application fee and a $5,000 administrative/setup fee to cover county work to establish new PID taxing entities and ongoing tax‑collection administration. Motion carried.
- Monument Replacement and Restoration Committee (MRRC) grant (Surveyor): Approved. The county accepted a state MRRC award of $28,076.19 to fund monument replacement and restoration work (PLSS corner ties and records) as administered by the county surveyor.
- Contracts ratification and personnel approvals: Ratified and approved. Commissioners ratified continued contracts for public‑defense positions and approved routine personnel actions including a recorder position transfer and three new hires in corrections and DMV. Motion carried by voice votes.
Details and context
Planning staff said public notifications and Planning Commission recommendations accompanied the rezoning and the county will apply the RA‑20 designation to the affected parcels so the previously approved agricultural protection area becomes effective. The VOCA and UVSP grants were reported as preliminary awards with the formal award packets expected in the coming weeks.
Commissioners moved and seconded each measure; most votes were recorded by voice as “Aye. Motion carries.” The county clerk will include signed minutes and executed grant paperwork in the record. No roll call tallies were read into the record for these motions.
