Chairman Miles welcomed everyone to the meeting. Each Commissioner took a moment to remember Commissioner Kent Peatross, who recently passed. He did a lot for the County as a Commissioner.

Deputy Attorney Grant Charles said the prayer.

Public Works Director Mike Casper gave an update on upcoming and existing projects. His crew was working on North Crescent (CR 176) last week. The parties discussed purchasing a right-of-way and the water lines that may cause issues at the intersection on Pole Line Road. Commissioner Killian drove County Road 29. There is a large pot hole that needs to be addressed. The Commissioners thanked Director Casper for a great job this year.

Building Official Interim Director Adam Johnson presented the resolution and explained that the cost per square foot has increased slightly. He proposed raising the minimum price from $110.00 to $160.00. The parties discussed the fees, the building permit process, and the fact that all commercial plan reviews are sent to a third party. The residential plan reviews will remain in-house. Deputy Attorney Grant Charles suggested moving the language: Plan Reviews Sent to a 3rd Party Will Be Billed at Their Rate + 10%, to just below Commercial Projects. Commissioner Chugg made a motion to approve Resolution No. 25-17; a Resolution Establishing a New Fee Schedule for Building and Construction within Duchesne County, with an amendment to Exhibit B: move the red sentence in the amendment up to just below commercial projects. Commissioner Killian seconded the motion. Commissioner Chugg voted aye, Commissioner Killian voted aye, and Commissioner Miles voted aye. The motion passed.

Deputy Attorney Grant Charles explained that the contracted attorneys have agreed to sign the contracts, but haven’t received them yet. The only changes on the contracts from last year are the dates and a three percent increase for Clint Hendricks. He suggested the Commission approve the Public Defender Contracts. Commissioner Killian made a motion to approve the Public Defender Contracts. Commissioner Chugg seconded the motion. Commissioner Killian voted aye, Commissioner Chugg voted aye, and Commissioner Miles voted aye. The motion passed.

Commission Executive Assistant Melissa Hughes explained that the Planning Commission has an expiring seat for the Roosevelt/Myton area. It has been advertised, but no response has been received. The parties will continue to recruit someone for the board.
