Duchesne County commissioners approve several public-works purchases; some motions recorded without final vote

Duchesne County commissioners on Feb. 3 approved purchases of road-maintenance equipment and handled routine financial items, while one larger equipment motion was introduced without a recorded final vote.

The commission approved a mastic (mastic/masticing) pavement machine priced at $93,900 and a side-dump trailer priced at $81,480 after staff presentations describing capabilities and delivery timing. A motion to purchase a new grader for $475,200 was made during the meeting; the transcript records the motion but does not contain the recorded second or the final roll-call vote for that item.

Why it matters: The purchases affect the county’s ability to perform road maintenance in-house and can change which jobs the county contracts out. Staff described expected delivery timelines of weeks to months and trade-in value for older equipment.
