Daggett County schedules closed session to discuss water-rights lease and real-property matters
Summary
Commissioners voted to move into a closed session to discuss litigation and purchase/exchange/release of real property, and had previously received correspondence about a potential water-rights lease from Craig Smith that may involve a long-term commitment.
During the Jan. 31 Daggett County Commission meeting, commissioners voted to adjourn the open session and enter a closed session to discuss litigation and matters pertaining to purchase, exchange or release of real property. Speaker 1 made the motion for a closed session “for litigation, purchase exchange release of real property,” and Speaker 3 seconded. The commission recessed the open meeting at 10:10 to transition to closed session.
Earlier in correspondence, Speaker 2 read an email from Craig Smith regarding a potential water-rights lease; Speaker 3 and Speaker 1 discussed whether that particular matter should be handled in closed session and Speaker 3 offered to contact Craig Smith to confirm availability. Speaker 3 noted the proposal referenced a 30-year commitment.
Because the matter will be discussed in closed session, the commission provided no additional public detail about the substance of the lease proposal or any potential real-property transactions. The decision to move into closed session is procedural and permitted by state law for the stated topics; no final outcomes were announced in open session.
Next step: the commission will consider details in closed session and any public disclosures required by law will be made afterward as appropriate.
