Duchesne County to Lose Welcome‑Center Display Space; Longtime Attendant to Be Laid Off
Summary
County staff told commissioners Duchesne City will repurpose space the county has used for Welcome Center displays, meaning the county must lay off Kathy Bosco, who has staffed the center for nearly 15 years. Commissioners presented Bosco with a photo and public thanks.
Duchesne County commissioners were told July 28 that Duchesne City plans to repurpose the space the county has used as a Welcome Center display area, and that change will require the county to lay off a long‑time attendant.
A staff presenter explained the city intends "to alter that space that we've occupied for the display of the Pope House Museum items" and "they will be filling it with display cases and displaying all those amazing dioramas that Fred Crow put together," meaning the county can no longer use the area for its exhibits. The presenter said the staffing change affects a county employee who has worked at the center for almost 15 years.
The commission recognized Kathy Bosco for her service; commissioners and audience members presented Bosco with a framed photograph and a belt buckle, thanked her in open session and invited her to say a few words about what she enjoyed most at the Welcome Center. Bosco said she is "really gonna miss the people" she served and thanked staff and elected officials for their support.
Commissioners framed the change as the result of the city’s decision to fully utilize the space for its exhibits. Staff said they will promote the city’s new displays while also noting the loss of the county‑run visitor presence. There was no vote attached to the item; the presenter said the notice was primarily informational and that staff had attempted to contact affected parties before scheduling the meeting discussion.
The commission offered the employee public thanks and arranged for photographs; no additional personnel actions were taken during the meeting. The county did not specify a final separation date, severance package or any re‑assignment plan for the affected employee during the discussion.
