Summary

The motion passed unanimously on the recorded vote.
During its regular session, Emery County commissioners voted to direct County Attorney Olson to prepare a letter to a Bureau of Land Management official at the Price field office asking that Emery County be allowed to take possession of a gravel pit near Green River.
The commission said the county’s plats have shown the parcel as county property for roughly a century and that the gravel is needed to maintain roads on BLM-managed routes and to serve as an emergency source of riprap for Green River City. Speaker 1, a commissioner, described those points during discussion and asked that the letter reflect the county’s historical claim and operational needs.
Speaker 2 seconded the motion. The commission recorded aye votes from Borwood, Leonard and Jensen; the motion passed. The item was listed as agenda item 8.
The action directs Olson to draft and send the letter to the BLM contact identified in the meeting. The record does not specify a deadline for the letter or any follow-up schedule.
