At its June 10 meeting the Town of Bear River council approved several fiscal and appointment items by voice votes.
The council introduced and approved Resolution 2025-15, a joint resolution that will place a 1% specific-purpose excise tax proposition in UA County on the special election ballot on November 4, 2025. The transcript records the resolution’s introduction and a voice vote in favor; no roll-call or detailed ballot language was read into the record.
Council also concurred in appointing Jim Johnson as the town representative to the Bear Regional Joint Powers Board; that appointment was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Separately, the council approved a motion to transfer $500,000 to "W star Investments." The transcript records the motion, second and an affirmative voice vote but does not provide budget account details, the intended use of the funds, or a recorded roll call. The council also voted to table the third reading of ordinance 2025-01 until the July 8, 2025 meeting.
The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally for these actions and contains limited discussion about the transfer’s purpose or the ballot measure’s funding target.
