Commission adopts Resolution 26-13 declaring a county drought emergency
Summary
Daggett County adopted Resolution 26-13 declaring a drought emergency under Utah Code 17-8-7, with edits requested to clarify references and to add language addressing hauling water and imported feed for agricultural needs.
Daggett County commissioners approved Resolution 26-13 to declare a drought emergency in Daggett County pursuant to Utah Code 17-8-7, adopting the resolution with edits suggested by the board.
Commissioner (S3) moved to approve the declaration with editorial changes to the last paragraph (clarifying language where "Daggett" was messy) and to add provisions acknowledging water hauling and imported feed as eligible measures for agricultural relief. "I would make a mesh motion to approve resolution number 26 13, a resolution to claim the existence of a drought emergency in Deggett County, Utah pursuant to Utah code 17 8 dash 7," Commissioner (S3) said (transcript phrasing). The motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
The board discussed ensuring the resolution is routed to the proper state contacts so county residents can access relief and assistance under state programs; staff agreed to follow up on the submission process.
