Commissioners approve propane pre-buy to lock in lower price for county facilities
Summary
Granite County approved a yearly pre-buy contract with Energy Partners for county propane to capture a lower price and cover several county facilities; commissioners discussed buying about 80% of expected need and voted to proceed.
Commissioners voted to pre-buy propane for county facilities through Energy Partners, a practice the board described as recurring. A motion to sign a pre-buy contract passed after brief discussion about the percentage of anticipated purchase; participants discussed buying about 80% of estimated usage.
A commissioner said pre-buying is prudent because the price is lower now. The board instructed county staff to complete contract paperwork and sign the agreement. No further contract financial details were provided on the record beyond the purchase-percentage discussion.
