Daggett County approves nearly $1 million in invoices, returns bike-path funds to UDOT and ratifies 20% match commitment
Summary
Daggett County Commission approved the county invoice register totaling $998,060.74, agreed to return remaining bike-path grant funds to UDOT for the agency to lead the project, and ratified a request for additional bike-path funding that carries a 20% local match (about $44,000–$45,000).
Daggett County commissioners approved the county open invoice register totaling $998,060.74 and a reimbursement register, and agreed to return residual bike-path grant funds to the Utah Department of Transportation so UDOT will bid and manage the bike/walking path project.
The decision was presented during the Commission's May meeting, when Speaker 2 said the county’s invoice register equaled $998,060.74 and that $942,011.33 was a transfer related to the bike and walking path. Speaker 1 explained: "That's actually money that we received from UDOT. . . . Through discussion with UDOT, we've decided that they'll be the lead on the project, and it'll actually be conducted as a UDOT project. They'll bid it and manage it, and so we're gonna return the funds that are remaining from the grant that we received from them." The motion to approve the invoice register and the return of the funds carried on a voice vote.
Why it matters: returning the remaining grant funds to UDOT hands project management and bidding responsibilities to the state agency, which could accelerate procurement and shift oversight from the county to UDOT. At the same time, the commission separately ratified a letter committing the county to a 20% local match should additional bike-path funds be awarded, a commitment the commission estimated at roughly $44,000–$45,000.
Supporting details: the commission also approved a reimbursement register covering 04/13–04/26/2025 in the amount of $300.15, and a disbursement listing for the county of $189,431.96 and for the Daggett County Redevelopment Agency of $5,000 for the period 04/24–05/05/2025. During discussion of the bike-path grant, Speaker 1 said the county had submitted a letter requesting additional funds and had committed to providing the required matching funds; Speaker 3 moved to ratify that commitment and the commission approved it by voice vote.
The commission did not record a roll-call tally in the minutes excerpt; approvals were taken by voice vote or general assent. The county indicated the returned grant balance would be managed by UDOT, which will now take responsibility for bidding and overseeing the bike-path construction.
