Daggett County approves land conveyance and $1.447 million lease bonds to finance health center

The Daggett County Commission voted on March 25, 2025, to transfer county-owned land to the Daggett County Municipal Building Authority and to authorize the authority to issue lease revenue bonds to finance a health and social services center.

During the meeting, the presiding official moved the agenda to item 9, describing Resolution 25-06 as "a document that will convey land from the county to the MBA for the clinic." Unidentified Speaker 3 moved to approve Resolution 25-06; the motion was seconded and the commission approved the resolution by voice vote with ayes recorded.

Minutes later, the presiding official told the board the county had also received Resolution 25-07, which the packet did not list but which staff and other members agreed could be considered because it consisted of "other documents required in connection" with item 9. Resolution 25-07, as described at the meeting, would authorize an annual renewable lease agreement and authorize the issuance and sale by the Daggett County Municipal Building Authority of $1,447,000 in lease revenue bonds, series 2025B, to finance acquisition and construction of a health and social service center and related improvements.

Unidentified Speaker 3 again moved to approve Resolution 25-07; another participant seconded the motion. The commission called the question and recorded ayes, approving the resolution by voice vote. One participant summarized the addition by saying, "That makes sense to me," and the commission proceeded to finalize its business on the item.

The meeting record shows clerk Lorinda Isaacson and economic development director Peggy White were present in the courthouse; Commissioner Acey was also present in the courthouse and Commissioner Lytle participated virtually. After the votes, the presiding official recessed the commission at 9:13 a.m. and switched the recording to convene the Daggett County Municipal Building Authority to complete related transactional steps.

The resolutions approved at this session (25-06 and 25-07) set the county on a path to convey property to the MBA and to use lease revenue bonds as the financing mechanism for construction and related improvements. The commission did not provide further budgetary detail, bond terms beyond the $1,447,000 figure and "series 2025B" designation, nor did the meeting record show an expanded roll-call vote with member names; votes were recorded by voice as ayes. The MBA meeting that followed was called to address the related documents and the bond/lease issuance process.

Next steps: the commission recessed into the MBA meeting to address final documents and the sale/issuance process for the bonds; no additional public hearings or financing approvals were recorded in the commission minutes provided.
