Commission approves purchase of iPhone for tourism staff and Union Wireless service plan
Summary
The commission approved buying a new iPhone (iPhone 16 Pro referenced) and a Union Wireless service plan for the tourism department staff position (Jordan), including insurance and service details to be finalized by staff.
The Daggett County Commission approved purchasing a new county phone and service for the tourism department on March 18, authorizing a Union Wireless contract and purchase of an iPhone for tourism staff use.
Commissioners discussed plan options and agreed to the unlimited-data plan from Union Wireless (county staff said the unlimited plan adds approximately $10 monthly versus the 2 GB corporate line) to avoid overage charges. Staff indicated Union Wireless can provide device insurance under the contract and that the county would own the phone. The recommended device discussed was an iPhone 16 Pro; commissioners moved and seconded approval for purchase and service.
The commission clarified that the phone is intended primarily for work use, but occasional personal use was acknowledged; commissioners also noted that a supervisor could use the device if the tourism staff member is unavailable. Staff will finalize plan details including hotspot capability and insurance, and ensure the device is added to the county account.
