Daggett County declares drought emergency, approves routine purchases and leadership nominations
Summary
The Daggett County Commission unanimously adopted Resolution 26-02 declaring a drought emergency under Utah Code 17-8-7, approved a $5,835.60 Amazon purchase request, and re-nominated Matt Tibbets as county and RDA chair for 2026; commissioners also approved the 2026 assignments list.
The Daggett County Commission voted to adopt Resolution 26-02, declaring the existence of a drought emergency in Daggett County and citing Utah Code 17-8-7. The motion to adopt was made and seconded; commissioners answered the roll call with voice votes in favor.
The action to declare a drought was presented as an administrative emergency declaration under state statute. "A motion and a second has been made to adopt resolution number 26-02," the presiding speaker said during the item. Board members voiced their assent and the chair closed the item.
The commission also approved a purchase request to Amazon totaling $5,835.60, comprised of multiple line items across accounts. Carrie (county staff, first raised during the procurement item) explained the request was for an ordered gas stove and related supplies; after a motion and second the board voted to approve the expense.
Separately, the board handled leadership nominations for 2026. A motion was made and seconded to nominate Matt Tibbets to continue as county commission chair for 2026; commissioners voted in favor. The same process was used to nominate Matt Tibbets as the 2026 RDA chair.
The commission also approved the 2026 assignments list for commissioners, including adding PLIPCO (the Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office) to Jack's assignments and confirming involvement with the Coalition of Local Governments (CLG) and the County Infrastructure Coalition.
Next steps: the resolution and administrative changes will be entered into the county records and the assignments list will be updated on the county website for public reference.
