Board tables SAR building, weigh station and library/fair landscaping pending budget hearing
Summary
The LBA tabled three larger capital projects — a SAR building at the sheriff's office, a large-scale weigh station at the Farrin Agricultural Center, and Fair/Library landscaping and ADA work — and discussed holding a public hearing to reopen the 2026 budget (proposed for March 17).
During budget discussion the county auditor advised that $50,000 is currently budgeted for LBA projects and that any additional spending would require reopening the 2026 budget through a publicly advertised hearing. Given those constraints, the board discussed prioritizing more urgent items and moved to table three larger projects: a search-and-rescue (SAR) building at the Emery County Sheriff’s Office, landscaping/ADA work for the Fair and Library, and a large-scale weigh station at the Farrin Agricultural Center.
The chair and board members agreed to hold a special meeting and public hearing — staff indicated March 17 was available — to consider increasing appropriations. Staff noted that public-notice requirements for budget-related hearings typically require two weeks’ advertisement. The board’s tabling motion preserves the items for consideration at the public hearing rather than approving immediate appropriation.
