The Uintah County Commission held a meeting on June 16, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were addressed. The commission approved warrants totaling $865,632.57, which included the purchase of a used backhoe for $95,750 by Western Park. They also approved the 2026 certified tax rate, which is set at 0.001441, expected to generate $8,704,000, with a $50,000 allocation moved to flood control to replenish funds for future flood events. Additionally, the commission approved the sale of a tax-acquired property for $6,900 via public surplus auction. The meeting included approval of zoning changes for a 2.3-acre property to allow for higher density residential development. The commission also ratified two interlocal agreements related to attorney services: one with Vernal City for civil legal assistance and another with Daggett County attorney Kent Snyder for criminal prosecution services at a rate of $4,000 per month for seven months. These agreements aim to address staffing shortages in the county attorney's office. No other procurement contracts or capital projects were discussed.
