The Weber County Board of Commissioners approved the consent agenda at its Jan. 13 meeting but exempted one purchase order for further review.

County staff summarized the spending that commissioners were asked to approve: 74 purchase orders totaling about $1,331,922 and 167 warrants totaling roughly $4.5 million. Jason Horn, who presented the summary, said the library accounted for about $924,000 of the PO total for books, materials and digital services; approximately $113,000 was for surveyor GPS equipment and about $84,000 for an ice‑sheet dehumidifier. He named the largest payees, including the county indemnity pool and Republic Services.

Following the summary, a commissioner raised concerns about PO 3260071 — an $11,004.50 payment listed to a sole proprietor identified as "CALEA" (accreditation standards and process). The commissioner recalled that accreditation funding had been cut during recent budget hearings and asked staff to investigate why the purchase order was processed. Horn confirmed the PO had not yet been paid and that the cost is calculated by agency size.

Commissioner Jim Harvey moved to approve the consent items except for PO 3260071; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote. The commission directed staff to review PO 3260071 and report back at a future meeting before payment is processed.

The action keeps the majority of routine county payments moving while flagging a single item for follow‑up.
