Daggett County discusses progress on self-help workforce housing; volunteer coordination proposed
Summary
Commissioners reported applicants are selecting floor plans for the county's self-help workforce housing program and a county official proposed a volunteer roster to help approved applicants complete projects; commissioners agreed the projects should begin concurrently and discussed sequencing and outreach.
Daggett County commissioners reported progress Tuesday on the county's affordable workforce self-help housing program and discussed creating a volunteer coordination list to support approved applicants.
Commission staff said one applicant informed them on May 12 that applicants are now choosing floor plans and beginning pre-construction steps in the self-help housing program. Matt (first referenced in the transcript) suggested compiling a volunteer list to match community volunteers with approved applicants to assist with tasks and schedules so projects can proceed efficiently. "We probably could help our community members get a volunteer list out so that anyone that can help fill in with some of these volunteer orders for these people, we can get some schedules going," Matt said.
Commissioners and staff agreed volunteer support would be valuable but reiterated the importance of starting approved applicants' projects at the same time. The chair clarified that approved applicants must begin their projects concurrently as part of the program sequencing. No dollars, administrative approvals or specific volunteer recruitment timelines were recorded in the transcript; commissioners said they would pursue the idea and follow up with staff.
The commission recessed at 09:16 a.m. for the Municipal Building Authority bid opening, leaving further housing implementation details for future meetings.
