Weber County commissioners received a presentation on Nov. 24 about a proposed county-boundary adjustment related to a parcel that straddles Weber and Cache counties. Staff said the request was associated with Weber State University and a donor-intended science station, and that consolidating the parcel into a single county would make it more marketable for future university use.

An unidentified staff presenter (S7) said the university prefers placing the parcel into Weber County because infrastructure for development is on Weber's side. Legal/administrative counsel (S5) summarized the state process: the two counties must hold a joint public hearing, adopt a joint resolution, and submit the required boundary documentation—likely to the lieutenant governor—along with other materials required by state code.

Commissioners and staff discussed outreach to Cache County officials (named in the meeting as George Danes and Kurt Webb) and the possibility of a joint work session or joint legislative hearing. Staff recommended drafting boundary documents and a sample resolution and coordinating with a surveyor to prepare the legal descriptions and maps needed for a filing.

No formal decision or vote was taken; commissioners asked staff to continue coordination with Cache County and to prepare draft materials for the joint hearing and resolution required by state code.

Next steps: staff to contact Cache County officials, prepare a draft joint resolution and boundary documents, consult a surveyor for legal descriptions and maps, and arrange a joint public hearing as required by statute.
