Commission approves fire protection agreements, business license, payroll and tax adjustments; adopts 2026 pay/holiday schedule
Summary
At its combined meeting, the Duchesne County Commission approved interlocal fire protection agreements with Roosevelt and Duchesne cities, a home-based business license, accepted vouchers and payroll, adopted the 2026 pay/holiday calendar and approved tax adjustments/abatements; actions were taken by voice vote.
Duchesne County commissioners approved a package of routine but consequential operational and fiscal items in open session.
Fire protection agreements: Commissioners authorized the county to enter or renew fire protection agreements with Roosevelt City ($59,671.81) and Duchesne City ($52,210.35) and gave the chair authority to sign the documents. The commission set aside a third city's agreement for later consideration. The agreements received a motion, second and voice approval.
Business license and vouchers: Planning and building staff confirmed approval of a home-based pressure-washing and landscaping business (Services JR LLC). Commissioners moved and approved the business license by voice vote. The board also reviewed vouchers and directed accounting staff to draw funds from the department mitigation account (rather than fund 41) for certain equipment purchases; the voucher package was accepted on a motion.
Payroll and pay/holiday schedule: Chair introduced payroll specialist Jamie Park and staff presented the proposed 2026 pay and holiday calendar. Commissioners discussed Juneteenth observance timing and ultimately moved to adopt the 2026 schedule. Payroll for the period ending Oct. 11, 2025, covering 241 employees and disbursements of $596,002.97 (as reported by payroll staff), was accepted on a motion and voice vote.
Tax adjustments and abatements: The treasurer's office representative, introduced as Steven Otter, presented tax adjustments and abatements, including an acreage correction and a separate acreage removal related to a parcel combination. The commission approved the tax adjustments and abatements as presented.
All actions in this package were recorded in the meeting transcript as motions, seconds and voice votes. The transcript does not provide full roll-call tallies for each vote; the record shows voice approvals and documented dollar amounts where staff stated them.
