Below are the items acted on and the outcomes as stated in the meeting record.

- Approval of minutes (agenda item 1): A motion to approve the minutes from the June 18 meeting was made and seconded; commissioners voted “Aye” and the motion carried.

- Tabling of USARA opioid-settlement funding request (agenda item 7): A motion to table awarding and approval of funding requests from USARA (Utah Support Advocates for Recovery Awareness) until the county could evaluate all such requests was made, seconded and carried by voice vote. The tabling means no award of the $200,000 request occurred at the July 2 meeting.

- Contracting for NEPA environmental review (agenda item 8): A motion to approve contracting with Jones and DeMille Engineering to perform the environmental review (NEPA) for Carbon Industrial Park road work was made, seconded and carried by voice vote. Staff stated the quoted NEPA cost is $60,000 and may be paid from the $2,850,000 federal grant funds discussed in the meeting.

- Utah State Historical Records Advisory Board grant (agenda item 9): A motion to approve and ratify the grant award received by the Clerk/Auditor’s Office from the Utah State Historical Records Advisory Board (approximately $4,680 with a 1:1 match) was made, seconded and carried by voice vote; the county has already begun scanning and preserving older marriage records as described by staff.

- Adjournment: A motion to adjourn was made and seconded and recorded as carried.

County staff explained the $2.85 million award was initially intended to help purchase the Campbell property two years earlier but had not been used because grant restrictions would have prevented sale of parcels and complicated leasing for potential businesses. After speaking with the federal grant manager, staff said the county identified an alternative use for the funds to build the road serving the property. The first step to receive any grant funds is completion of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) work.

Staff said Jones and DeMille estimated $60,000 to perform the required environmental reviews and that an employee on the Jones and DeMille team with prior federal agency experience had helped reduce the scope and cost. Staff told commissioners the $60,000 would be paid from the federal grant. A motion to approve contracting with Jones and DeMille for the NEPA work was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the motion carried.

County staff described NEPA work as the federal environmental study that looks at potential impacts — including species, cultural resources, raptors and archaeological sites — and said the Carbon Industrial Park site is largely in former plowed fields where previous disturbance makes the review simpler. Commissioners thanked staff and urged timely completion of the work to access construction funding.","The commission approved contracting with Jones and DeMille Engineering to perform an environmental (NEPA) review for road work serving the Carbon Industrial Park, with the quoted cost of $60,000 to be paid from an existing $2.85 million HUD-related grant award tied to the property.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":46,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6511805,"Recovery group seeks $200,000 of opioid settlement funds to sustain Price recovery center; commission tables decision",547,1523000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5133800-c7d182f7912d086f077cb26f7e5e6504&start=1523&end=2070","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5133800-c7d182f7912d086f077cb26f7e5e6504/thumbnail_1523000.jpg","/articles/6511805/Utah/Recovery-group-seeks-200000-of-opioid-settlement-funds-to-sustain-Price-recovery-center-commission-tables-decision","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6511805-c9b5804fa082e81679adf70e49ff9261/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161637&Signature=AmaD4qucKBA6Ea0KwjQ7RUT4w0322pRw53XH2Kk1-quOGfsjqFoOmUHS7yOi0TvyHUlMjGq5KlgPyFEZN0eQuBdBjz7szFaRYMfVasnipFwqhlNHIaKAnvaz0Z9mcvR0YT4gzCPSmdj7NvcYQrbx6Chjyf5~2wGpL0-m1e-bFWhgkPh0w2PmFgYOaTeFwcR-2xkb0gdLogoKwrZKqZBRt4DSX9c7wd16isWtxdhFxFyC3wXZ4jCbDs7c9ox3hKamj5BgAvMiz-TY7Lh~8YDxRXF5XrrBj1DN8QXxsTf8garTxlHSuo4aMbaW53vU7oyCpCGnVEYqsyC3xP1DMfRM7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representatives of Utah Support Advocates for Recovery Awareness (USARA) asked the Carbon County Commission on July 2 for a $200,000 allocation from opioid settlement funds tied to the Purdue Pharma/Sackler settlement to sustain and expand a recovery community center in Price.

Evan Doan, identified as USARA’s advocacy and public policy director, said USARA is a recovery community organization that is not clinical and therefore cannot bill insurance or receive Medicaid payments. He said the requested funds would support paid staff and sustain the center’s services, which include coaching, peer support and connection to other services. Mercedes Morgan, who manages the recovery center locally, said the center has provided voluntary one-on-one coaching 3,350 times (data reported by staff) and works with the county jail, courts and child welfare services to support individuals and families.

Commissioners said they value USARA’s work and noted federal funding changes have prompted the current request. One commissioner said county leaders plan to convene all agencies that have received opioid settlement funds for follow-up reporting in the next two weeks and to use that session to map allocations and assess outcomes. The commission indicated support for funding USARA’s services in principle but said it needed a short period to evaluate all requests and review progress by funded agencies.

A motion to table consideration of awarding the requested funds until the county had completed evaluations of all organizations requesting opioid settlement funds was made, seconded and adopted by voice vote. The commission recorded the motion as carried and did not approve the $200,000 at the July 2 meeting.","Utah Support Advocates for Recovery Awareness requested $200,000 from county opioid settlement funds to sustain and expand a recovery community center in Price; commissioners expressed support but voted to table funding until countywide allocations and reports are reviewed.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6511809,"Utah interagency expands stage 1 fire restrictions to unincorporated Carbon County; fireworks largely banned without waiver",319,1169000,1488000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5133800-c7d182f7912d086f077cb26f7e5e6504&start=1169&end=1488","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5133800-c7d182f7912d086f077cb26f7e5e6504/thumbnail_1169000.jpg","/articles/6511809/Utah/Utah-interagency-expands-stage-1-fire-restrictions-to-unincorporated-Carbon-County-fireworks-largely-banned-without-waiver","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6511809-7cef633e8894e9dde468f8283907d676/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161637&Signature=jCkHDjN9v43hPzDUEkG6itgDgeDJI3upa3FRHrI6OSei5puavFDiVJYbBJ84QQDMgJFfnmN6RDM7s2zKEFjQ66GybFSXJV3zzShOgBMDD5lu-xxVLjTYHHWsVRNLRUlSrRuZXP3V3h~WpUQjjcVwDCPtv1XbE--Vo90Z4ni7FKkTD1u3xINucB0UY6nupQs8oe~bXUEpUC6kaYYLI4kGfy6vw0H75QNVE1fVlGc4ljObjJq9CvdZEnB8y~9rmSPIKG30ztJ-wcbTUpue3OgzAKuhPi~0Fpeaxe5etK-HZiHHmZuRkZynRDK9gN1Jfxa50MfNSHSKDtrGiugIfj8mow__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County officials briefed the Carbon County Commission on July 2 that Utah interagency fire officials expanded stage 1 fire restrictions to all state and unincorporated lands in Utah beginning June 28, 2025, at 12:01 a.m.

The county summary said campfires are allowed only in established fire rings or grills at improved campgrounds, designated day-use areas, state parks, Bureau of Land Management sites, National Park Service sites and most National Forest campgrounds that remain open to fires. Permanent fire pits at private homes on unincorporated land are allowed if the property has pressurized running water.

County staff emphasized that incorporated cities and towns are exempt from this order and retain their own rules; residents should check with their city to confirm local restrictions. The county fire official warned that unincorporated subdivisions such as Westwood, Gordon Creek and Coal Creek are covered by the restriction and that lighting fireworks or recreational fires there is prohibited unless the official issues a waiver.

The official said two waivers were granted this season: one for the Carbon County fireworks display at the Fairgrounds on July 4 and one for the Schofield display on July 5. The official said the county will not issue waivers to individual residential properties and warned of enforcement: a violation of the restrictions can result in a $1,000 fine and possible six-month jail sentence. Commissioners urged residents not to light fireworks or build fires if they are unsure whether their property is inside an incorporated city boundary.","County officials summarized statewide stage 1 fire restrictions effective June 28, 2025, clarified that the order applies only to unincorporated lands, and warned that fireworks or recreational fires on unincorporated property can carry fines and jail time; two public display waivers were issued for county events.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6511814,"Carbon County to mail property tax disclosure notices; appeals deadline set for Sept. 15, 2025",186,63000,249000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5133800-c7d182f7912d086f077cb26f7e5e6504&start=63&end=249","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5133800-c7d182f7912d086f077cb26f7e5e6504/thumbnail_63000.jpg","/articles/6511814/Utah/Carbon-County-to-mail-property-tax-disclosure-notices-appeals-deadline-set-for-Sept-15-2025","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6511814-1e3ae9299d5a18e8c12786a907e70c93/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161637&Signature=dH9oEtmVaY47AYDiyooIN88DaJnTkZ7iCJQbx2S~25LyVRkg9cABl1DoCIEKp6dExbtMh~mh5U3jNY3Nu3s4ykZeaq91RvHdBp-wIiFngthRyjwa6zPO6-2jXnqCOoX~hdLzO2X0Z-5QIiS5giKSjPd6vhj2rwOpthain4W9ylVxaqO7CwDQ6XgE43pfRQ6fa5lJAWxROJq2Dt78JcjpgjoxP66N-qFARVhm17wVOLnM~ci9HG4dGOtj~1KKBGsIZDTZETK9CCkUxGQRytzg4k9eVbfuNEUduvVkmS08jDXtGNBPG5QsGhbUEQBCJnFFAqrUoHImbghuPxPI4-Jn2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Carbon County staff told the County Commission on July 2 that every property owner in Carbon County will receive a property tax disclosure notice in the mail around July 20 and emphasized that the notice is not a tax bill.

The notice shows a property’s assessed value as of Jan. 1, 2025, compares last year’s and current values and tax rates, and explains a property owner’s right to appeal. County staff said tax bills are mailed Oct. 31 and are due Dec. 1. Appeals must be filed by Sept. 15, 2025, and late appeals will not be accepted; staff said appeals can be filed from July 31 through Sept. 15 or within 45 days of the mailing date of a notice.

County staff described the notice as a way to show how tax dollars are shared across local taxing entities and to notify property owners of proposed tax increases. Staff also explained that any taxing entity that seeks to raise property taxes must go through the “truth in taxation” process, which involves public hearings before a vote. Staff said Wellington appears to be the only taxing entity in the county pursuing a truth-in-taxation process this year.

Commissioners and staff urged residents to read the back of the mailed notice, which contains appeal instructions and other details, and said property owners who do not receive a notice should contact the county.

County staff listed six property tax relief or exemption programs that may apply to primary residents: an age-and-income program for residents 66 and older with household income under $42,623; a county hardship program for disabled residents or those in extreme hardship with income under $51,148; a disabled-veteran exemption for veterans with at least a 10% VA disability; an active-duty military exemption for those deployed outside Utah for 200 or more days in the prior year; a blindness exemption for legally blind homeowners or qualifying surviving spouses/orphans; and a 65-and-older deferral for residents 65 or older with income under $85,246. Staff said the 65-and-older option is a deferral that postpones payment until a triggering event such as a change in deed ownership.

Commissioners said they will continue to remind residents that the Sept. 15 appeals deadline is firm for this year and reiterated county contact information for people with questions.","Carbon County officials told commissioners that property owners will receive tax disclosure notices in late July, clarified that the notice is not a bill, explained the appeals deadline of Sept. 15, 2025, and outlined six local tax-relief programs for primary residents.","actionData","errors"]
