Sheriff says county will pay $500 annually for access to private road for radio tower
Summary
Sheriff Josh McQuillan told the Carbon County commissioners he reached an agreement with landowner Edith Bollzer for the County to pay $500 a year, maintain the access road, and avoid use in muddy conditions; Administrative Officer Angela Newell said she will place the arrangement on a future agenda for formal approval.
Sheriff Josh McQuillan told the Carbon County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 16 that he had reached an agreement with landowner Edith Bollzer over access to the county's radio tower.
McQuillan said the county would pay Bollzer $500 annually, maintain the access road, and refrain from using the road during muddy conditions. Administrative Officer Angela Newell said she will put the access agreement on a future agenda for the commissioners to consider. McQuillan said he would personally deliver the first $500 check to Bollzer.
County Attorney Alex Nixon and the commissioners discussed the access matter during the 10 a.m. agenda slot; no formal approval was recorded at the meeting. Newell characterized the next step as placing the agreement before the board for action.
The item raises operational and budget questions for the county, including whether the payment and road maintenance obligations will be incorporated into a contract or resolution and which department will be responsible for upkeep. Those details were not specified during the discussion.
The board took no formal vote on the access arrangement on Oct. 16; Administrative Officer Newell will schedule the item for a future meeting so the board can consider and authorize any payment or maintenance commitments.
