Commission tables memorandum of understanding with Robert K. Weidner for two weeks
Summary
Daggett County commissioners discussed a proposed MOU with Robert K. Weidner of the RPLCC, heard differing views about past payments and current budget constraints, and agreed to return the item to the agenda in two weeks for further review.
The commission opened discussion on a memorandum of understanding between Daggett County and Robert K. Weidner, identified in the record as affiliated with 'Bridal Public Lands County Council, the RPLCC.' Speakers noted Weidner's previous work on PILT and the extension of SRS and debated whether the county had historically paid the requested amount. Speaker 3 said, "I think for right now ... my recommendation for right this year at least, and the budget constraints that we have, [is] that we forego contracting with Mister Weidman and our RPLCC," while other speakers said the county could revisit contracting in the future.
Commissioners asked staff to confirm past payments and to place the MOU back on the agenda two weeks from the meeting so the item would not 'slide' from consideration. Speaker 2 offered to "find out before I leave" and the body agreed to put the MOU on the agenda for two weeks out.
Why it matters: The MOU would formalize county engagement with an outside public-lands advocate; tabling the item preserves budget oversight and allows staff to verify payment history and provide additional information before the commission decides.
Next steps: Staff will research prior payments, prepare updated contract paperwork if needed, and return the item to the commission agenda in two weeks for further consideration.
