Commission approves routine business: licenses, expenditures, appointment and court contract; keeps ambulance rates unchanged
Summary
At the meeting commissioners unanimously approved a business license renewal for Staker Parson Company, accepted expenditures and minutes, appointed a board member to the Bear Lake Special Service District, approved the 2026 court contract, and declined a state-suggested ambulance mileage surcharge, keeping current rates.
The Rich County Commission handled several routine items and a handful of formal actions in the meeting's consent and business sections.
Business license: Jason Lutz appeared to renew a business license for Staker Parson Company, a gravel and ready-mix operation. Commissioners approved the renewal unanimously; the clerk will finalize payment and issue the license.
Expenditures and minutes: The commission moved and unanimously approved previously reviewed expenditures and the minutes for April 8, 2026.
Ambulance mileage surcharge: Assessor/ambulance staff presented a state-proposed emergency-transport mileage surcharge that would add 25¢ per mile if diesel reached $5.10 per gallon (or gas $4.25). Commissioners discussed operational funding and public impacts and voted to keep current rates; the motion to maintain existing rates carried.
Appointment: The commission appointed Jason Biltmore to finish an unexpired term on the Bear Lake Special Service District board following a local recommendation. The appointment was approved unanimously and will be recertified on a future agenda with other board terms.
Court contract: Commissioners approved the Administrative Office of the Courts contract for district court administration for 2026; the motion carried unanimously.
What happens next: The clerk's office will process license fees; staff will implement the court contract; and the commission plans to clarify board memberships and terms on a future agenda.
