County unclear who owns surplus containment system; approvals costly
Summary
Commissioners heard that approvals to use a surplus containment system could cost roughly $20,000–$40,000, and staff do not yet know whether the county or a private party purchased it; no surplus or return decision was made pending follow-up.
Speaker 1, Unidentified, told the Daggett County Commission that approvals to put a containment system into service would cost “about $40,000 or 20,000, some some huge amount to to get the approvals to use it.” The speaker said Lori was not sure whether the county or Eubank purchased the system and that the road department could have it if they wanted it. Speaker 1 said no action was taken and the item remains on the agenda because staff have not completed follow-up with Laurie to clarify ownership and options.
Why it matters: the cost and unclear ownership affect whether the county will keep, surplus, or return the equipment, with implications for the road department’s operations and county assets. The commission did not direct a specific next step during the discussion other than for staff to follow up with Laurie for more information.
What was said: Speaker 1 described the cost uncertainty and ownership question. Speaker 2 briefly acknowledged the update. No formal motion or vote was recorded during the segment.
Next steps: staff were asked to follow up with Laurie to confirm provenance and present options (surplus, transfer to road department, or return to UBAC) at a future meeting.
