Daggett County agrees to sign support letter for UBAG RAISE grant
Summary
The Daggett County Commission agreed to sign a letter supporting the Uintah Basin Association of Governments’ (UBAG) RAISE grant application for infrastructure work focused on sustainability and equity; commissioners debated how specific the county’s language should be.
The Daggett County Commission agreed to sign a letter of support for the Uintah Basin Association of Governments’ (UBAG) application for RAISE grant funds to rebuild infrastructure with an emphasis on sustainability and equity. Speaker 2 said he would sign the letter on the county’s behalf and welcomed other commissioners to submit individual letters if they wished.
Commission members debated the draft language. Speaker 4 told the commission she had removed details in the original draft that she judged “didn't particularly apply to Daggett County” while retaining the county’s general endorsement of the regional project. Speaker 5 urged keeping the original wording and noted that multiple similar support letters were not necessarily harmful.
Speaker 2 said the commission’s consensus was to support the region and UBAG’s efforts and that he would sign the revised letter; he encouraged commissioners who wanted to submit separate letters to do so. No formal vote was recorded beyond the chair’s commitment to sign.
The action advances UBAG’s RAISE grant application and signals Daggett County’s regional support; the commission did not adopt further conditions or formal endorsements beyond the signing commitment. The commission did not set a follow-up item for additional edits.
