Commissioners approve $2,500 donation to Rally for Utah Ranchers after Cottonwood Fire losses
Summary
Garfield County commissioners voted to provide $2,500 to support ranchers who lost livestock in the Cottonwood Fire, after the chair described ongoing losses and asked the board to match a statewide offer.
The Garfield County Commission voted to provide $2,500 to the Rally for Utah Ranchers to assist ranchers who lost livestock in the Cottonwood Fire. Chair (S4) described the impact, saying animals were so damaged they could not be run through auction and that some had to be put down; the chair recommended the county at least match a requested $500 contribution and proposed giving more if possible.
Commissioner Tebs (S2) moved to offer $2,500 and the board approved the motion by voice vote. The chair said the donation would be directed specifically to ranchers who lost livestock in the Cottonwood Fire or other qualifying fires; the mechanics of distribution were not detailed on the record.
