Daggett County approves 2025 LEPC bylaws, shortens officer terms to one year
Summary
The Daggett County Commission approved updated bylaws for the county Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) that shorten officer terms from two years to one and incorporate minor editorial corrections, following discussion about participation and local organization.
The Daggett County Commission approved updated bylaws for the county's Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), adopting the 2025 LEPC bylaws with minor editorial corrections and a change shortening officer terms from two years to one.
The change was presented during the meeting as a response to low sustained participation in the LEPC. Speaker 1 said the bylaws are "just the Lehi Bylaws, the group that gets together and, works with me in order to provide for this community when it comes to emergency management information and correlation." The presenter said officers previously held two-year terms but that the group changed that to one-year terms to encourage people to step in and lead.
Why it matters: the LEPC helps coordinate local emergency-management information among community members, responders and agencies. Shortening officer terms was framed as a measure to make it easier to recruit and retain leaders for the committee.
During discussion, Speaker 1 described recent LEPC elections and membership changes: "Randy Hughes ... is the president," and "the secretary, Brianne Carter volunteered to help out." The presenter also said Katie has previously filled the secretary role. Speaker 1 told commissioners the group had cut a small number of dated sentences from the bylaws but did not specify which text was removed.
Clerical corrections were also identified in the meeting record. Speaker 3 pointed out that the "last line, last page needs a period," and Speaker 1 said they had corrected a misspelling of a last name. The motion presented to the body read, in substance, to approve the Daggett County LEPC bylaws for 2025 with the spelling correction and the missing period.
The motion was made and seconded; a voice vote was taken and the chair called the ayes. The transcript records the motion, a second, and "All in favor? Aye. Aye." The transcript does not record each member's individual vote by name.
The meeting then moved on; later in the session the presiding officer confirmed there was no need for a closed session and adjourned the meeting by acclamation at 11:25.
Notes of record: the transcript indicates the term-length change (two years to one year) and minor editorial deletions but does not provide a redline or full text of the removed language. The transcript also does not list roll-call votes or the names of the commissioner who made the motion and who seconded it, beyond the spoken motion and a spoken "second."
