Loading...
Summary
On consent and separate motions the commission renewed a $9,000 annual website/chat subscription, approved two beer-license renewals and vouchers, conditionally approved tax adjustments, and authorized purchase of two new road trucks (quote shown at about $71,790 each).
Duchesne County commissioners approved a bundle of administrative and procurement items on Dec. 8, including a contract renewal for a website chat service, alcohol-license renewals, tax adjustments and the purchase of two new road trucks.
Polymorphic contract renewal: Staff reported the county's contracted chatbox/website service has answered dozens of inquiries and recommended renewing the annual subscription for calendar year 2026 at $9,000. "I would recommend that we renew the contract for calendar year 2026," a staff member said; the commission approved the renewal on a voice vote.
Licenses, vouchers and tax adjustments: The clerk's office asked the commission to sign two beer license renewals for 2026 (sheriff's office had approved); the commission signed off. The board also approved vouchers for Dec. 8 as presented. Treasury/finance staff reviewed several tax-adjustment items including payments for Buena Basin Medical Center and a disputed payment by Willis & Sons LLC; the commission approved adjustments and abatements with the condition that any refund tied to a claimed bank error be supported by bank documentation.
Truck purchase: After earlier discussion and a request for additional bids, the commission later authorized the purchase of two Dodge trucks for the road department at a price given in staff documents as approximately $71,790 (motion recorded and approved by voice vote). Commissioners directed staff to issue a purchase order and noted the expenditure will come from the road fund.
All items were taken at the meeting with recorded motions and voice votes and staff will follow up on conditions (bank documentation, permit compliance, and procurement paperwork).
