Commission Meeting 11/5/25

The Carbon County Utah Commission held a meeting on November 5, 2025, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The commission approved the authorization for the Carbon County Assessor's Office to select a certified commercial appraiser to appraise commercial properties in the county. They also approved assessor-initiated property tax adjustments, including a write-off of $724,795.60 due to double taxation and adjustments related to green belt values. Additionally, the commission reviewed the tentative budget for 2026, which proposed a total budget lower than 2025, including a $9.6 million municipal services fund and a $2.17 million airport fund budget to support a fire suppression system installation. A 3.5% cost-of-living adjustment for county employees was proposed, and no increase in health insurance premiums was noted. The commission also approved an easement renewal with the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration. Other agenda items included appointments to local boards and presentations on outdoor recreation grants and community volunteerism, but no new contracts or RFPs were specifically awarded during this meeting.
