Daggett County approves $5,600 payment for Labor Day fireworks, signs off on invoices and disbursements
Summary
Commissioners approved the open invoice register ($62,965.19), a disbursement listing ($255,515.27), and a $5,600 purchase order for Labor Day fireworks payable from TRT-related funds while discussing an ongoing transition of TRT administration from the Chamber to the county.
Daggett County commissioners on Nov. 19 authorized multiple routine financial actions and discussed the transition of transient room tax (TRT) administration from the local Chamber to the county.
The board approved the open invoice register dated Nov. 18, 2024, totaling $62,965.19 and accepted the disbursement listing for Nov. 10–16, 2024, in the amount of $255,515.27 (with a void of $5,830). During the invoice discussion commissioners asked about a $25,000 line for ambulance miscellaneous supplies, which staff confirmed was a payment to the ambulance district.
Staff brought forward two purchase requests: a $5,600 invoice from Vortex Productions for the Lucerne Labor Day fireworks and a $3,149.50 charge from Election Systems and Software for election services. Commissioners discussed whether to pay the Vortex invoice directly from TRT funds or have the Chamber pay and request reimbursement during a planned transition away from a previous Chamber-administered arrangement. The board ultimately approved the county payment route to better track expenditures under the transition and approved the $5,600 purchase order to Vortex Productions by voice vote.
Commissioners spent substantial time clarifying how remaining TRT liabilities and the Chamber’s historical lump-sum arrangements will be reconciled for auditing purposes, asking staff to reconcile which bills have been paid, which remain outstanding and how auditors should see the transactions during the transition.
Next steps: staff will continue reconciling TRT finances with the Chamber, annotate records for audit clarity and follow up on additional vendor invoices expected during the transition.
