The Daggett County Commission adopted Resolution 25‑07, declaring the existence of a drought emergency in Daggett County. Commissioners flagged typographical errors in the draft’s whereas clauses (the years were updated from 2017–18 to reflect 2024–25) and directed staff to correct them before final signature.
Commissioners discussed public notification and agreed to publish the declaration in the county newsletter and on the county Facebook page. A motion to adopt the resolution with the edits passed by voice vote.
The resolution invokes the county’s authority under state statute (as noted in the draft) to declare drought conditions and to allow agricultural producers and other affected parties to pursue programs or insurance available under such declarations.
