03-11-2026 Box Elder County Commission Meeting

The Box Elder County Commission held a meeting on March 11, 2026, which included a public hearing and approval of a temporary easement vacation for a trail right-of-way in Willard Canyon. The vacation was requested to allow mining operations by the Wells family, with a relocation of the trail to ensure continued public access and safety. The commission approved the vacation and directed staff to prepare an ordinance for formal adoption. Additionally, the commission reviewed and approved a lease agreement (No. 2608) with Autonomous Solutions Incorporated for use of the fairgrounds parking lot as a test site for autonomous yard trucks. The agreement includes provisions for liability insurance and supports local economic activity. Public comments addressed concerns about county fair funding and property taxes, but no further procurement actions were taken. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.
