Daggett County Commission approves $192,319.92 disbursement summary and $5,000 special-event purchase request
Summary
Commissioners approved a disbursement summary totaling $192,319.92 (with $2,252.15 voids), approved a $5,000 purchase request tied to a special-event contractor, and reapproved the open invoice register contingent on completing the purchase-order process.
The Daggett County Commission approved a disbursement summary dated June 20–27, 2025, totaling $192,319.92 with $2,252.15 in voids and approved a separate $5,000 purchase request tied to the county's upcoming special event.
The action matters because commission approval ensures county expenditures follow the public accounting and purchasing process and because commissioners flagged a procedural issue: staff had placed the $5,000 charge on the invoice register before a dedicated purchase order (PO) for that amount was completed.
Commissioners opened the item by noting the disbursement summary and moved to approve it. A motion to approve the disbursement summary passed on a voice vote; several commissioners answered "Aye." Commissioners then discussed the $5,000 payment, which staff said covers additional contestant payments for the rodeo event and will be paid to the contractor listed in county paperwork as "Broken Heart Rodeo Company" (vendor name appears inconsistently in meeting remarks and county documents). Staff said the $19,000 invoice the county received combines the contractor's $14,000 base contract and a separate $5,000 line for contestant payouts.
County staff and commissioners debated procedure: staff members said the $5,000 comes from the transient room tax (TRT) budget and special-event funds, but that a PO specifically documenting the extra $5,000 had not been in place before the invoice appeared on the register. Commissioners noted county practice that purchases of $5,000 or more require commission approval; several asked that the PO be completed and attached to the invoice to maintain consistent documentation.
A motion was made and seconded to approve the PO request for the $5,000 payment to the rodeo contractor (described in meeting records as the rodeo contractor and as a special-event expense). That motion passed on a voice vote. Commissioners then moved and seconded to reapprove the open invoice register contingent on completion of the PO process; that motion also passed on a voice vote.
Commissioners directed staff to attach the contractor invoice showing the $14,000 contract plus the $5,000 contestant line to the PO and to include the usual signature line and supporting documentation so the county record ties the additional payment to the contract. Staff said the PO will be routed for signatures this week or next week and that Carrie and Nancy are handling the paperwork.
Votes at a glance: motions to approve the disbursement summary, to approve the $5,000 PO request, and to reapprove the invoice register contingent on completing the PO were each moved and seconded and passed on voice votes (recorded as "Aye"). The meeting transcript does not list individual roll-call tallies.
Follow-up: staff will complete the PO, attach the full invoice that lists both the $14,000 contract and $5,000 contestant payment, and present the documentation with the commissioners' signature line to ensure the county purchasing record is complete.
