Uintah County approves $4.7 million in 2026 budget amendments, including $3.76M watershed grant
Summary
The Uintah County Commission approved Resolution 04-21-2026-R1 to amend the 2026 budget, adding $4,722,200 in grant revenue led by a $3,760,300 Ashley Valley watershed grant; the resolution passed unanimously after no public comment.
Uintah County commissioners voted to adopt Resolution 04-21-2026-R1 on April 26, approving amendments to the county’s 2026 budget that add $4,722,200 in grant revenues and related appropriations.
County staff presented a list of grants the amendment brings into the county budget, led by an Ashley Valley watershed grant of $3,760,300. Other grants identified in the packet include an OHV trails grant ($389,500), a Revitalization grant ($416,600), a Rural Grant Part A ($129,900), an UCOR grant ($8,800 after clarification in the meeting), and smaller awards for economic development and bulletproof vest funding for the sheriff’s office. The packet also listed $2 million from B road funds and a $100,000 transfer from the Uintah Care Center fund balance for capital projects.
Mr. Wilkins summarized the proposed changes and opened the public hearing; no members of the public spoke. A commissioner moved to approve the resolution “as presented.” The motion carried on a recorded voice vote of three to zero.
The amendment brings grant-funded projects onto the county’s books and authorizes spending consistent with the listed awards; the county will now proceed with the projects and accounting adjustments described in the resolution. The commission did not add conditions to the approval during the meeting.
Next steps: county staff will implement the budget adjustments and track the listed grants and matches through the county’s financial system.
