Commission approves letter backing State Parks acquisition of Five Kivas site near Blanding
Summary
San Juan County commissioners approved a letter of support for the Utah Division of State Parks to accept about 60 acres containing the Five Kivas ruins into the state park system; commissioners asked staff to correct an unincorporated/Blanding designation in the letter before finalization.
The commission considered a request to approve a letter supporting a transfer of approximately 60 acres known locally as the Five Kivas into the Utah State Parks system.
The chair explained the property is in unincorporated San Juan County near Blanding and described it as the Five Kiva ruins. Commissioners discussed confirming the site location and ensuring the letter references the unincorporated area rather than "Blanding City". Commissioner Harvey said city support appears in place and moved to approve the letter of support; Commissioner Stepp seconded and the motion passed by voice vote.
No contract or funding action was requested; the item was limited to a letter of support to facilitate State Parks' acquisition and management of the cultural site.
