Tooele County Council voted unanimously on Nov. 5 to approve several consent and budget items, including a five‑year contract for jail telephone services, a 50‑year interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County over communications‑tower permitting, and a package of year‑end budget adjustments under Resolution 2025‑28.
Nathan Harris of the county attorney’s office said the jail’s previous telephone provider was not meeting needs and that the procurement resulted in IC Solutions winning the bid. Harris said IC Solutions will install hardware to allow outgoing inmate calls and that the county will receive a portion of inmate‑paid fees. The contract term presented to the council was five years and the vendor transition includes a short implementation period intended to improve service reliability.
The council also approved an interlocal agreement with Salt Lake County to consolidate permitting and agency review for the Bonneville communications towers that cross both counties; Harris said Salt Lake County had agreed and the 50‑year term will allow one authority to handle permit review for tower renovations.
Auditor Alice McCoy summarized Resolution 2025‑28 as a set of year‑end adjustments: moving $52,000 from a project manager salary line to a professional/technical line for the MOCA contract, transferring $25,000 (health department) to dental supplies, recording a $7,187 Homeland Security grant for the EOC, adding $30,000 to jail electricity costs, and multiple salary and benefits adjustments. The council opened and closed a public hearing on the resolution with no public testimony and adopted the resolution by voice vote.
McCoy also presented a single line item transfer for the sheriff's department to reallocate $22,000 for inmate medical costs and state inmate worker costs; the council approved that transfer.
Motions on the consent agenda were moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote without recorded roll‑call tallies in the transcript. The council then moved to a closed session for legal updates.
