Bonneville County approves equipment‑sharing memorandum with Jefferson County
Summary
The Road and Bridge board approved a cooperative equipment‑use agreement with Jefferson County on June 16, accepting a notarized version of an MOU to allow mutual equipment sharing; commissioners voted unanimously to approve the agreement.
Bonneville County commissioners voted June 16 to approve a cooperative equipment‑use memorandum of understanding with Jefferson County that will permit the two counties to share public works equipment as needed.
Staff said Jefferson County’s commissioners had previously signed an unnotarized version; the version presented to Bonneville County was a cleaned and notarized agreement with correct names and titles. A commissioner moved to approve the cooperative equipment‑use agreement and another seconded; the board voted in favor.
Why it matters: Equipment‑sharing MOUs can reduce duplication of costly heavy equipment across neighboring rural counties and improve response capacity for seasonal work or emergency events.
What’s next: Staff will implement the agreement and begin coordination with Jefferson County on equipment requests and joint use procedures.
