Commission discusses Manila Airport ILP reimbursement request; decides to verify before signing

Daggett County commissioners reviewed ILP reimbursement request number 7 for the Manila Airport and agreed to delay signing the reimbursement form until staff can confirm who submitted it and whether the county has already paid the claimed amounts.

Staff and commissioners said the request appears to date from 2023 and to come from CIVCO (a contractor referenced in meeting materials). Commissioners discussed inconsistencies in internal records: one county staff member said small entities sometimes create invoices but hold them for long periods; another said the county might have received and not processed an invoice. A staff member identified the CIVCO request date as Jan. 9 (year not restated in the discussion).

Commissioners and staff discussed dollar amounts in the paperwork but noted the meeting record shows inconsistent figures: one passage indicates the county portion would be about $920.50; earlier materials attached to reimbursement sheets cited a larger total invoice. To avoid signing a document that might duplicate previous payments or overstate the county share, the chair said he would wait to sign until he speaks with the county office responsible for the airport paperwork.

Participants also raised the question of whether airport administration tasks historically handled by a county employee should be outsourced to a contractor such as CIVCO. Commissioners said that possibility had been discussed informally in recent weeks and that further review with staff would be necessary before any contract or administrative change.

No formal vote was taken on the reimbursement request itself at the meeting; the chair asked staff to confirm records with the county office and to return the item for signature or further action after that verification.
