Duchesne County Library Board approves reservation policy, technology plan and Uinta MOU; March meeting moved
Summary
The Duchesne County Library Board voted Feb. 17 to approve a revised room-reservation policy, a 2026–2028 technology plan and to recommend renewal of an MOU with Uinta County; the board also moved its March meeting to March 18.
The Duchesne County Library Board on Feb. 17 approved a set of routine governance measures, including a new reservation policy, its 2026–2028 technology plan and a memorandum of understanding renewal with Uinta County Library, and it rescheduled its March meeting.
Board member Jesse Walker moved to approve the updated room-reservation policy, which requires a reserving party to designate adults who may access the room and to pay any fees before gaining access; Catherine Crapo seconded the motion and the board voted in favor. As board member Daniel Mokley explained, “If an event is free and open to the public, any member of the public must be allowed to attend as long as they are following the library's behavior policy.” The policy clarifies that organizers may not exclude members of the public from free events but may remove individuals who violate behavior rules.
On technology, the board accepted the library’s 2026–2028 plan after a presentation on recent Wi‑Fi improvements and pending hardware grants. Mokley said the Wi‑Fi at the circulation desk is now “about 5 times faster” and noted a pending grant application for staff computer replacements. Jeff Chug moved to approve the technology plan; Deb Evans seconded, and the board approved it.
The board also recommended renewal of a memorandum of understanding with the Uinta County Library. Mokley said Uinta’s board had already approved and signed the updated MOU and that changes were grammatical and stylistic only. Deb Evans moved to forward the countersigned MOU to the county commission for final approval; Jeff Chug seconded and the motion passed.
Finally, members identified a conflict with caucus night and some personal schedules and voted to move the March meeting from March 17 to Wednesday, March 18. Catherine Crapo made the motion; Jesse Walker seconded. Chair Jessica Shaw adjourned the meeting at 04:56.
