Commission approves one-year contract with court clerk Jill Chavez; commissioners note amount discrepancies in discussion
Summary
Commission approved an independent contractor agreement with Jill Chavez for court clerk services (01/01/2026–12/31/2026) including a 30‑day termination clause; discussion included differing monthly figures in the transcript and staff said clerical corrections will be made to the signed document.
Daggett County commissioners approved an independent contractor agreement with Jill Chavez for justice court clerk services covering Jan. 1–Dec. 31, 2026. The contract motion specifically referenced a monthly amount and a 30‑day unilateral termination provision; commissioners said the agreement provides an option for either party to terminate with 30 days’ written notice and noted that the contract does not preclude further discussion about staffing.
During discussion the monthly amount was referenced inconsistently in the record: staff and a commissioner earlier discussed $1,250 per month, while the motion’s recorded wording referenced a change "from $12.50 to 1,500 per month." Commissioners asked Kent to correct typographical errors on the signatory page and to reconcile the exact monthly figure in the finalized contract. The motion to approve the agreement with the stated term and the 30‑day termination clause passed unanimously.
