Summary
Weber County commissioners postponed consideration of a contract with the Utah Department of Health and Human Services for transportation services for DHHS‑referred clients, saying no Sheriff's Department representative was present and asking to revisit the item next week.
The Weber County Board of Commissioners moved to hold a proposed contract Jan. 13 between Weber County and the Utah Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to provide transportation services for clients referred by DHHS, including provisions for high‑security or high‑risk transports.
The chair noted that no representative from the Sheriff's Department was present to discuss operational or safety details associated with transporting high‑security clients. Commissioners agreed to hold the item and to alert the Sheriff's Department so the contract can be discussed with deputies or sheriff's staff in attendance.
A motion to hold the item was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The commission instructed staff to return the contract for consideration at next week's meeting with sheriff representation.
