Commissioner Sharon Bolos opened the Weber County Commission’s Dec. 23 meeting and the board approved routine financial items and agreements while postponing four contracts for additional review.

The commission voted to approve purchase orders and warrants presented as consent items. Chair Sharon Bolos said the consent package included a request for approval of purchase orders totaling $87,555.20 and warrants totaling $2,045,296.62; county staff later described weekly issuance of about 198 checks totaling roughly $2,000,000. County finance staff Ricky Hatch summarized the weekly disbursements and top payees, saying, “We issued 8 POs this week for $88,000, 60% or $53,000 as for the library to go towards building repairs at the Ogden Valley branch,” and listing major payees including Weber Human Services, Ogden City Corporation and Weber Fire District.

The commission also approved an ACH payment to Zions Bank for $275,559.25, the minutes from the Dec. 9, 2025 meeting, a new business license, a payment agreement with the Weber Housing Authority toward construction of its office in the Weber Center, a contract for the Spikers Rodeo team to hold the 2026 Spikers High School Rodeo at the Golden Spike Event Center, and a set of deputy sheriff basic training agreements naming multiple trainees.

After the consent approvals, Bolos said some contracts required more examination before final action. “And those items are being held because those contracts need a little more review,” she said; the commission then voted to hold action items 1 through 4 for future consideration so staff could complete additional review related to contracts with the (new) Ogden Valley City.

The commission concluded business and voted to adjourn. No members of the public spoke during the agenda-related public comment period.

What the approvals mean: the warrants and purchase orders cover routine county operations (including jail medical and dental services, library repairs and paramedic services). The held items will return to the commission after staff follow-up and additional contract review.

Next steps: staff will continue review of the held contracts and bring them back to the commission at a later meeting; the commission did not set specific return dates during the Dec. 23 session.
