Daggett County Municipal Building Authority acknowledges $61,599 in disbursements and hears water-system update

The Daggett County Municipal Building Authority on Feb. 10 approved its Feb. 3 meeting minutes with a minor spelling correction and acknowledged several routine financial reports, including a disbursement summary totaling $61,599.

At a meeting convened virtually at 9:31 a.m., the authority also approved an open invoice register dated Feb. 5, 2026, for $129.27 after a member initially misstated the amount as $29.27 and the figure was corrected on the record. The board made and seconded the motions and the chair called for the ayes; the motion carried by voice vote as shown in the transcript (no roll-call tally was read aloud).

The body heard a staff update on ongoing construction projects. A staff member reported that conduit and transformer sets for the county’s health and community center project are inside the building, that wiring remains to be run and that piping and a water meter are in place awaiting installation. The staff member said the county purchased the meter and expected the meter cost to be offset against the hookup fee in communications with town staff. “It’s their meter when all is said and done,” the staff member said, referring to the utility that will ultimately read and bill through the device.

A committee member clarified that the county operator typically supplies and purchases meters for continuity of operations and that the county owns the system, underscoring slightly different descriptions of who procures and owns meters. The meeting record shows both positions were stated on the record but contains differing characterizations of how the meter cost was handled.

The chair invited public comment but none was recorded in the transcript. Members noted upcoming construction coordination meetings for the health and community center scheduled for Thursday. The meeting was adjourned at 9:43 a.m.
