Commission approves contract with Utah Association of Counties for special deputy attorney services
Summary
Commissioners approved a final contract with the Utah Association of Counties to provide a special deputy county attorney and discussed a pending cross-county complaint and the proposed annual fee (roughly $10,000); the contract was approved by voice vote.
The commission considered a finalized contract with the Utah Association of Counties (UAC) to provide special deputy county attorney services. Commissioners had previously approved the concept; the meeting considered the final contract language and how the firm will respond to a cross-county complaint that has been filed against several counties.
Commissioners discussed the anticipated fee and budget impact. One commissioner asked whether the fee would be $10,000 per year; another stated staff would adjust the budget as needed. After brief discussion, the commission moved, seconded and approved the contract by voice vote. The county's representative indicated UAC counsel had already prepared to file an answer to the complaint and was proactive in the matter.
