Daggett County discusses right-of-way vacation and property transfer to advance municipal building authority project
Summary
Commissioners and staff discussed filing a petition to abandon a county right-of-way and the sequence of property transfers needed for the Municipal Building Authority project, and directed staff to place the petition and required legal description on a future agenda.
Daggett County commissioners and staff on Jan. 10 discussed filing a petition to abandon a county right-of-way and completing a series of property transfers so the Municipal Building Authority (MBA) project can move to bidding and bonding.
County staff member Kent Snyder said the petition and supporting paperwork are ready to file but must be placed on a public agenda. Snyder said the county currently owns the property and right-of-way; once the county completes the abandonment and the county holds the entire property, it can deed the parcel to the MBA and proceed with contract documents and bidding.
The discussion centered on sequencing: staff must file the petition to abandon the right-of-way, publish the notice, and vote to approve the abandonment before deed transfers and bonding can proceed. Snyder said the petition can be placed on a “normal agenda” with about one week’s notice. Commissioners indicated the transfer and the right-of-way abandonment must occur before applying for bonding and before the county can deed property to the MBA for collateral purposes related to CIB (Capital Improvement Board) financing.
Commissioners and staff described a number of concurrent steps: filing the petition, preparing a legal description for the public notice, completing deed transfers from the county to the RDA (Redevelopment Agency) and then to the MBA, finalizing contract documents and bid packages, and coordinating bonding. County staff said contract documents are nearly ready and that the timeline is becoming increasingly time-sensitive.
No formal vote was recorded on the petition itself at the Jan. 10 meeting; commissioners directed staff to place the petition to abandon the right-of-way on the next meeting agenda and to provide the legal description to the county clerk for publication. County attorney Craig Smith was named as the person who will prepare or review petition wording.
Next steps: staff will prepare and file the petition, provide the legal description for notice, and place the item on the next regular agenda for formal consideration and possible action.
