Senate approves concurrent resolution to accept UDOT settlement with EnviroTech totaling about $2.208 million
Summary
A concurrent resolution (SCR 3) approving a legal settlement between the Utah Department of Transportation and EnviroTech (EVT Holdings) passed to the third-reading calendar; sponsors said the final settlement included a balance of about $2,000,000 in addition to a previously paid $208,000.
Senator Knudson presented SCR 3, a concurrent resolution approving the legal settlement between the Utah Department of Transportation and EnviroTech (now EVT Holdings Inc.). According to the sponsor, the controversy began with an appraised value of $208,000 that the state paid; EnviroTech then sued for $30,000,000, and the final negotiated settlement after trial amounted to $2,208,000 (reflecting the $208,000 already paid and a $2,000,000 balance requiring legislative approval under the concurrent-resolution process).
Senator Knudson recommended moving SCR 3 to the third-reading calendar with an immediate effective date to approve the settlement; the motion carried and the resolution passed to the third-reading calendar on a roll-call vote reported by the clerk (24 ayes, 0 nays, 5 absent).
The concurrent resolution provides legislative approval for the state to finalize the settlement payment as described. Clerks and sponsors noted the amount and the parties involved as part of the record.
