Commission agrees to surplus eight county porta‑potties, including trailers
Summary
Daggett County commissioners authorized surplus of eight porta‑potties (on three trailers) after concluding rental is more cost‑effective than ownership; staff said units look to be in good shape and were originally purchased with grant funds.
The Daggett County Commission voted to surplus eight county‑owned porta‑potties and the trailers to which they are attached. County staff and commissioners said maintaining the units in house is costlier than renting from vendors and recommended putting them out for bid with county agencies given priority.
Staff reported the county purchased the units with grant funding around 2020–2021 (about $20,000 total), and a speaker said the units appeared in good condition based on recent photos. The county identified three trailers configured for the units (three on two trailers and two on a third trailer) and said several local entities had expressed interest; the commission approved surplusing the equipment and directed staff to follow the competitive process for disposition.
Commissioners noted the county may still rent units for specific events when needed, but that routine ownership and upkeep is not cost‑effective.
