Daggett County Municipal Building Authority reviews CIB funding and recent invoices for hospital project, pauses to confirm reimbursements
Summary
The Daggett County Municipal Building Authority approved several sets of past meeting minutes and then turned to budget questions for a county hospital/clinic project funded through CIB. Board members discussed roughly $300,000 in recent invoices and sought confirmation on whether those costs can be reimbursed before bond closing.
The Daggett County Municipal Building Authority on recess Thursday approved multiple sets of past meeting minutes and then focused discussion on budget and reimbursement questions tied to a county hospital/clinic project funded through the CIB. Members heard updates on recent invoices and asked staff to confirm which costs are reimbursable prior to final bond paperwork.
Board members first moved through approvals of historical minutes from Oct. 24, 2023; Dec. 26, 2023; July 23, 2024; Oct. 29, 2024; and Nov. 12, 2024. Those procedural approvals were handled by voice vote before the group returned to substantive budget matters.
During the budget discussion, Unidentified Speaker 4 said payments to date included a rural hospital tax plan and that a recent invoice from "Jones and Mill" arrived the previous day for about $560,000. The speaker also summarized earlier invoices totaling about $103,004.47 plus roughly $160,000, which together the participants discussed as roughly $300,000 in expenditures so far.
Unidentified Speaker 4 described the award reported to staff by "Art": "the project through the CIB was funded at $5,786,000 in grant and $1,447,000 in loan for 30 years at 0.5% interest," and added that design work was included in the project budget at roughly $497,000. The board sought clarity on the sequence of reimbursements, noting concerns that loan portions may be charged before grant funds are disbursed.
Members agreed to contact key staff to verify which expenditures are reimbursable and when CIB will issue payments. Unidentified Speaker 2 suggested checking first with Bart based on prior projects and also reaching out to Candace and Jesse to confirm the financial timing and whether invoices were incurred before or after formal approval.
With several outstanding questions about reimbursement timing and the bond process, the presiding member recessed the meeting to allow staff to gather the requested documentation and clarify next steps.
The authority did not take any new formal action on the hospital project at this session beyond requesting follow-up; the meeting was recessed pending staff reports.
