Daggett County holds public hearing on vacating Manila right-of-way to create parcel for new health clinic
Summary
Daggett County held a public hearing on vacating a town-recorded right-of-way in Manila so the county can create a parcel for an 18,000 sq ft health clinic; Tri-County Health voiced support. County staff described funding, procurement timing and a hoped-for May groundbreaking.
Speaker 1 opened a public hearing to consider permanently vacating a right-of-way shown on the original plat of the town of Manila so the county can create a parcel for a new health clinic. "This public hearing is intended to receive public comment on the potential of vacating permanently that right away so that we can create the parcel on which the new clinic will sit," Speaker 1 said.
Speaker 2 explained an administrative rationale related to federal mineral-lease receipts and PILT (payment-in-lieu-of-taxes). "It has to do with mineral lease funds and our ability to maintain our pilt," Speaker 2 said, adding that parceling county property and transferring it to the MBA, as described, can avoid a reduction in PILT payments that would otherwise result if mineral-lease funds were used for CAB-funded projects.
Speaker 3, identified in the exchange as representing Tri-County, gave public comment in support of the project: "We support the clinic" and "we're excited to see that move forward," and offered partnership where possible. Speaker 3 asked about timing; Speaker 1 said the building plans are under review by the building inspector and any adjustments will be incorporated before the documents are put out to bid.
On schedule, Speaker 4 said the bid opening is planned for late April and a contractor selection is expected around April 22; Speaker 1 said the county hopes to break ground in May and would plan a groundbreaking ceremony and press release. Speaker 1 described the project as an approximately 18,000-square-foot facility that would include clinic space, offices, a conference room, an exercise/physical-therapy room, and future space for dental, optometry and pharmacy services.
No formal motion or vote on the right-of-way vacation was recorded in the transcript; Speaker 1 closed the public hearing by acclamation at 09:33. The county indicated it will proceed with permitting and procurement steps and keep stakeholders informed of the bid schedule and the planned groundbreaking.
