The Tooele County Council meeting held on September 15, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. The council approved a $217,000 contract to upgrade and replace the county's UPS backup power systems with Toshiba units after negotiating the cost down from $300,000. They also approved the annual addition to a contract related to the Criminal Justice Center's scope of work and renewed a lease for a mail machine after a competitive evaluation confirmed the existing lease was the best option despite a slight cost increase. Additionally, the council held a public hearing and unanimously approved Resolution 2026-27, which involved the county's approval of tax-exempt bond financing for Healthscope Partners' acquisition of Quorum Health Corporation assets, including local healthcare facilities.
