Commissioners read and adopted a formal proclamation that praised the county child welfare professionals for investigations and family services, noted the risks staff sometimes face in the field, and recognized their work in difficult situations involving abuse, neglect, mental-health challenges and substance use. The proclamation text recorded the board’s recognition and concluded, “the members of the Board of Commissioners of Carbon County hereby adopt this proclamation recognizing June 2025 as Carbon County Child Welfare Professionals Appreciation Week.”

Jill, director of Carbon County Children and Youth Services, joined the meeting remotely and spoke briefly: “I apologize I can't be there. I am currently at a conference learning more about child welfare laws and regulations… I really appreciate the commissioners taking the time to acknowledge our staff, our 13 caseworkers, ranging from 20 years of service to 4 months of service and anything in between.”

Commissioners and other speakers in the meeting thanked staff for their service and noted the risks and challenges caseworkers face when entering homes and dealing with complex family situations. One speaker, identified in the minutes as a first responder, said caseworkers often go into hazardous conditions and sometimes need police accompaniment.

The board’s action: adopt the proclamation and present it to Carbon County Children and Youth Services; staff accepted the recognition and said they would share it with employees.

The proclamation and the department’s work were acknowledged without further action required by the board.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Commissioners' Meeting with Salary Board 6-5-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Carbon County Board of Commissioners adopted a proclamation recognizing June 9–13, 2025 as Child Welfare Professionals Appreciation Week and publicly thanked Carbon County Children and Youth Services staff for their work.

Tim Staub, the project manager for the plan, told the board the two parallel planning documents emerged from a 16-month process that began in January 2024 and included outreach such as pop-up events at the county fair, meetings with municipalities and online engagement. “We prepared 2 planning documents for the county… this process started back in January 24. It was a 16 month process,” Staub said, summarizing the schedule and engagement approach.

Staub outlined the plans’ structure and key findings: differences in housing demand across county geographies; regional infrastructure issues that several municipalities flagged; increases in childcare costs (he said overall childcare costs rose about 12% over five years, and for some single-parent households costs rose as much as 40%); and use of cell‑phone data showing roughly 60% of recreational visitors come from within 50 miles, indicating local use of county amenities.

The comprehensive plan groups priorities under four themes—housing, outdoor economy, infrastructure and placemaking—while the Greenways and Trails plan emphasizes being connected, protected and plentiful to support outdoor recreation and the tourism economy. Each plan includes implementation tables that identify recommended lead parties, timelines, priority objectives and potential grants and loan opportunities.

Staub said both documents were advertised and placed on the county website for public review as required by the Municipalities Planning Code and that the county planning commission had approved them to move forward. Commissioners then voted to adopt both plans. The meeting minutes record the vote on both adoption motions as affirmative for the commissioners present.

With adoption complete, staff said implementation will rely on coordination with local municipalities and regional partners and on pursuing identified funding opportunities. The plans include suggested grant targets and named implementation leads to help move projects from plan to action.

The board’s actions: adopt the Carbon County Comprehensive Plan and the Greenways, Trails and Open Space Plan and direct staff to proceed with implementation steps identified in the plans.","After a 16-month public process, the Carbon County Board of Commissioners adopted the county comprehensive plan and a Greenways, Trails and Open Space Plan.

County procurement staff and an energy consultant presented results from an online bidder auction and recommended the 42-month term because it produced the lowest overall price in the final round. The presenter said the county ran bids for three terms (36, 42 and 48 months) and that the 42-month offer from Constellation was lowest. “We ran an online bidder auction for the electricity supply contract,” the presenter said, summarizing the procurement process.

The recommendation reflected both price and contract readiness: the county already has an existing contract form with Constellation that staff said would require less additional legal review than the alternative supplier’s agreement. The presenter also noted a related, separate request under consideration by the supplier to waive a June capacity charge of about $2,400; staff said that waiver was not guaranteed and would be handled outside the bidding process.

Before the award, the board ratified a letter authorizing Apollo Edison, working with Ingram Engineering, to run the online electricity auction. After the presentation, a commissioner moved to award the 42-month contract to Constellation New Energy; the motion was seconded and approved by the board. Commissioners recorded their votes in the meeting minutes as: Commissioner Arner — yes; Commissioner Notestein — yes; Commissioner Safranco — yes.

County staff said the contract would start with the July metering date and that the finalized contract would be executed via e-signature once final paperwork was updated with the correct signer. Staff also credited county staff members who supported the procurement and supplier interaction.

The board’s action: award the electric supply contract (42 months) to Constellation New Energy at $0.09723/kWh and ratify the auction authorization to Apollo Edison/Ingram Engineering. The board instructed staff to finalize contract paperwork and proceed with execution.

Votes at the meeting were unanimous among present commissioners on this item.","The Carbon County Board of Commissioners voted to award a 42-month electricity supply contract to Constellation New Energy after an online auction; the contract price is $0.09723 per kilowatt-hour and would begin with the July metering date.
