Daggett County Commission enters closed session to discuss potential water lease

The Daggett County Commission voted to enter a closed session at 9:40 a.m. to discuss a potential lease of water with outside counsel Craig Smith and county attorney Kent Snyder.

The timing and purpose of the closed session were announced after the meeting reconvened from recess at 9:39 a.m. An Unidentified Speaker proposed "that we go into closed session for the purpose of exchange or lease of real property," and stated a second was recorded. The speaker then confirmed, "We have a motion and a second to go into closed session for the purpose stated."

When the presiding official asked, "All in favor?" the transcript records two affirmative responses as "Randy ACI" and "Matt Tippetsi." The meeting then transitioned to the closed-session link and tape; the presiding speaker noted the time as 9:40 a.m. before the public portion ended.

The motion did not name the mover or the seconder in the public transcript; the record identifies only the affirmative roll-call responses listed above. The stated topic for the closed session—an exchange or lease of real property related to water—was introduced in public session and will be discussed in closed session with the named attorneys.

The commission provided no further details in the public record about the terms, parties, or timeline for the proposed water lease. No ordinances, resolutions, or other formal authorities were cited on the public record during the portions of the meeting captured here.

The commission moved into the recorded closed session link immediately after the roll call and the public portion of the meeting ended at 9:40 a.m.
