Commission approves $9,000 KSL purchase request; advertising contract with utah.com flagged for IP review
Summary
The commission approved a $9,000 sole-source purchase request to KSL for tourism marketing. Commissioners paused formal approval of an advertising contract with utah.com after staff raised concerns about intellectual property ownership in the draft contract.
Daggett County approved a $9,000 sole-source purchase request to ksl.com to support tourism marketing, including two planned articles to be run this year and in the fall. Staff described negotiated pricing and the marketing placement; Unidentified Speaker 3 explained the plan includes two articles and run-on-site placements that link back to the county's website. Unidentified Speaker 4 moved to approve the purchase request and the sole-source designation; the motion was seconded and the commission approved it by voice vote.
The commission then reviewed an advertising contract with utah.com. Unidentified Speaker 4 said they were still reviewing the contract and had concerns about intellectual-property language: "I'm trying to find who owns the images that if we were terminated, it looks just from a brief reading that we pay them, but they own everything." The speaker asked for more time to read the contract and suggested staff continue research. The commission recessed for five minutes to allow additional review; formal action on that contract was not taken at the meeting.
The approved KSL purchase is for $9,000 under a sole-source request from the tourism department; no additional fiscal or start-date details were included in the meeting record.
