Daggett County renews drought‑emergency declaration and updates resolution dates
Summary
The commission approved Resolution 25‑20 renewing a drought emergency for Daggett County and instructed staff to adjust date references to extend coverage into 2026; the declaration will continue to be reviewed monthly.
The Daggett County Commission voted on Dec. 12 to approve Resolution 25‑20, declaring the existence of a drought emergency in Daggett County and directing staff to update date references to reflect an extended period into 2026.
Commissioners and staff discussed that the emergency declaration is reviewed every 30 days and that updating the resolution’s date fields to cover 2025–26 (or 2024–26 as an alternative) would better reflect anticipated drought effects. One commissioner asked when the declaration expires; staff answered it expires every 30 days unless renewed. The commission approved the resolution with the changes discussed and instructed staff to provide a revised copy for signature.
The renewal signals continued county monitoring of drought conditions and preserves the county’s administrative authority to act during a period of constrained water availability. Staff said the resolution would be brought back for signature after the date edits were incorporated.
