Emery County Commission backs legal effort to preserve historical access to Cleveland Reservoir
Summary
The commission voted to support legal action to protect historical use and access to Cleveland Reservoir and to back county counsel in pursuing that effort; the motion was moved and seconded and recorded as passed with several 'aye' votes.
An unnamed commissioner moved that Emery County "fight for historical use and access regarding Cleveland Reservoir" and support county legal counsel in pursuing that objective, and the commission voted to approve the motion.
The motion, offered during agenda item 11, said the county should "fight for historical use and access regarding Cleveland Reservoir" and specifically stated support for "Attorney Olson in our decision to do so and work together to that end." The motion was seconded and brought to a voice vote. Commissioners recorded "Aye" votes for Warwood, Leonard and Jensen; the chair declared the motion passed.
County officials did not provide a full roll-call tally in the transcript; the recorded affirmative votes in the meeting record were Warwood, Leonard and Jensen. The motion authorizes the county to back the attorney's efforts regarding historical access claims at Cleveland Reservoir but did not in the transcript specify a budget, timeline or detailed legal strategy.
The vote followed brief procedural consideration and was not accompanied by extended debate on the record. After the motion passed, the meeting moved on to elected-official reports.
The commission did not state a deadline for further action on the reservoir item in the public record of this meeting.
