Daggett County appoints county attorney as contact for Mid America mediation
Summary
The Daggett County Commission on Aug. 26 appointed county attorney Kent Snyder as the county’s contact and signature authority for a Mid America mediation settlement, authorizing him to receive and approve settlement documentation before returning to the commission for final ratification.
The Daggett County Commission on Aug. 26 appointed county attorney Kent Snyder as the county’s designated contact and signer for settlement negotiations in a Mid America mediation.
Commissioners discussed whether the county should merely name a contact or grant authority to sign on behalf of the county. County staff explained the matter involves centrally assessed taxes and that the county’s projected share would be a small windfall — “a little more than $7,000,” staff said — rather than a liability. After discussion, a motion to appoint the county attorney as the county’s point of contact and signatory for the mediation was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The commission indicated the appointment is intended to let Snyder handle routine settlement communications and sign necessary documents, with the understanding the commission would receive final confirmation or placement of the item on a future agenda as needed.
The commission did not provide additional public detail about the underlying claim or the full terms of the proposed settlement during the meeting.
