Commission approves one‑time purchase of color printer for USU Extension office, $6,320.35

The Duchesne County Commission approved a one‑time purchase of a color Sharp Advanced Series document system for the USU Extension office at its Jan. 13 meeting.

Brooke, a USU Extension representative, told the commission the extension had $11,500 budgeted for office expenses and an additional $6,500 had been added for the operation; the printer quote presented to the commission totaled $6,320.35. A commissioner moved and another seconded the purchase; commissioners then voted in favor.

Commissioners and staff clarified that the printer would sit in the extension office but be available for use by other offices. Staff noted the purchase could be made from Fund 41, which appeared to have the appropriation available.

The commission did not request additional funds; the purchase was approved as a one‑time capital/office purchase. The record does not show a roll‑call tally by name in the public transcript; the meeting recorded vocal approval when commissioners were asked to indicate by saying “aye.”
