Commission approves Rocky Mountain Power contract to bring utility power to county landfill
Summary
Facilities staff said the county landfill lacks grid power and currently runs on a small solar and generator system; the commission approved a contract with Rocky Mountain Power to construct poles, lines and transformers to deliver permanent utility power.
County facilities staff told commissioners the landfill does not have a utility connection and currently operates from a small solar array and a generator, which is not feasible for long-term operations. The commission approved a construction contract with Rocky Mountain Power to install poles, transmission lines and transformers to provide grid power to the facility.
The presenter said the contract reflects a multi-year effort to secure a permanent connection and that the work will support expanded programming and operations at the landfill. Commissioners noted the facility's evolution from a trailer to a small building and the importance of utility connection for future capacity; one commissioner suggested exploring options for weekend gate revenue in the future.
The motion to approve the contract was moved, seconded and approved during the meeting; commissioners recorded 'aye' to close the item.
