Resolution 26-07 to add mineral lease services to the Box Elder Special Service District in Lehi/Thurston passed; commissioners outlined a public hearing April 1, a protest period through June 1, and a final vote and board appointments on June 3.

The Box Elder County Commission passed Resolution 26-07 to start the statutory process for adding mineral lease services to the Box Elder Special Service District in Lehi/Thurston.

Glen Thurston with the County Attorney’s Office explained that passage of the resolution is the first of several steps: a public hearing is scheduled for April 1, a protest period runs through June 1, a second notice will be published on May 1 (including any board vacancies), and the commission plans to consider final adoption and member appointments on June 3. Thurston characterized the action as initiating a longer administrative process; commissioners approved the motion unanimously.

Commissioners and staff said mineral lease funds typically arrive in the fall and noted this timeline is to ensure readiness for eventual expenditures once funds are available.
